Turkish President Erdogan, NATO Chief Stoltenberg Discuss COVID-19 Response, Libya
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg have discussed the global efforts to combat the spread of COVID-19 and the ongoing conflict in Libya, according to a statement by the military alliance on Thursday.
âThey discussed NATOâs ongoing efforts to support Allies in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. The Secretary-General commended Turkey for its support with medical equipment to other Allies and partners, in response to requests made through NATOâs Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Centreâ, the NATO statement read.
Stoltenberg stated that solidarity within the alliance was crucial amid the ongoing epidemiological and economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the statement.
Both Erdogan and Stoltenberg also discussed the ongoing security challenges in Libya, the alliance stated.
âAs stated by NATO Heads of State and Government at the 2018 Brussels Summit, NATO is prepared to help Libya in the area of defence and security institution building, in response to the request by the Prime Minister of the Government of National Accord to assist the GNA to strengthen its security institutionsâ, the NATO statement read.
Turkey has been a staunch supporter of the North African countryâs UN-recognized Government of National Accord, which is currently in conflict with the Libyan National Army, led by Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar.
The Turkish president and NATO Secretary-General held their last face-to-face meeting on 9 March, when the escalation of violence in Syria formed the basis of talks. At that time, Stoltenberg reaffirmed the allianceâs commitment to supporting Turkey.

WHO Chief Scientist: âFour to Five-Yearâ Struggle Ahead Before Containing COVID-19
Soumya Swaminathan, the World Health Organizationâs (WHO) chief scientist, attempted to temper expectations of a âcrystal ballâ timeline for the containment of the COVID-19 novel coronavirus on Wednesday, expressing that vaccines are not guaranteed and the pandemic may even take a turn for the worse.
âI would say in a four to five-year timeframe we could be looking at controlling this,â the expert said to the Financial Timesâ Global Boardroom webinar on Wednesday. She emphasized that there is âno crystal ballâ when it comes to the possible threat of the highly contagious disease in the future.
Swaminathan told the remote audience that while the worldâs top scientists are seeking to find a vaccine for the novel coronavirus, which âseems for now the best way out,â she noted there are âlots of ifs and butsâ regarding the production, distribution, safety and efficacy of such a drug.
Furthermore, thereâs also the possibility that a mutation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus could render a vaccine ineffective.
The global health agency officialâs comments offer a sobering perspective on the pandemic in the wake of vaccine-related comments from WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on Monday during a video conference with the United Nations Economic and Social Council.
âWe have good candidates now ⌠The top ones are around seven, eight. But we have more than a hundred candidates,â Tedros said, as reported by the Star Tribune. Considering his previous projection of a 12 to 18-month waiting period before scientists could provide a safe vaccine, the disparity between timetables appears to allow quite an extended period between the vaccineâs development and the steps that would actually be needed to control the novel coronavirus.
Swaminathanâs reality check continued during the Wednesday webinar when she also highlighted that the global pandemic could âpotentially get worseâ as leaders in countries such as the US are being forced to weigh the economic and public health risks in lifting restrictions originally put in place to mitigate the impact of the novel coronavirus.
Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of the WHOâs emergencies program, took his fellow officialsâ warnings a step further earlier this week when he discussed COVID-19âs âvicious cycleâ of economic and public health disasters and argued that the novel coronavirus âmay never go away,â CNBC reported.
The WHO official asserted that nations will have to adopt âa new normalâ while awaiting progress on vaccines and related treatments for the novel coronavirus.
âWe should not be waiting to see if opening of lockdowns has worked by counting the cases in the ICUs or counting the bodies in the morgue. That is not the way to know something has gone wrong,â he said. âThe way to know the disease is coming back is to have community-based surveillance, to be testing and to know that the problem is coming back and then be able to adjust your public health measures accordingly.â

MSNBCâs Wallace: âObamagateâ Is the âPolitical Version of the Tooth Fairyâ
Thursday on MSNBCâs âDeadline,â host Nicolle Wallace dismissed President Donald Trumpâs claims about the âObamagateâ scandal, calling them the political equivalent of the tooth fairy.
Wallace said, âI donât mean to be sarcastic here. But does Donald Trump really think that in any corner of the country that he needs to swing his way again that Obama is less popular or viewed as less competent or anyone thinks that this would have gone down worse on Obamaâs watch than his?â
New York Times reporter Peter Baker said, âYeah, I understand the question. Look, part of this, of course, is who youâre targeting your messaging to. Part of this âObamagateâ and the Obama message is aimed at the core supporters that he wants to keep on his side, that he cannot get to 271 electoral votes unless he starts off with the core voters that he brought to the table. He needs to give them something to focus on other than how he has handled this pandemic because polls show that even a lot of his own supporters have had questions about that, donât trust the information heâs giving them, have not been happy about some of the delays and other things that have been documented by our colleagues. I think that, therefore, you start with that base and then reaching out to the people in the middle has never really been his top priority. Heâs trying to reproduce the inside strength that he had three and a half years ago, and thatâs always been a tough sell for a president whoâs never been over 50% in the approval ratings in Gallup and some of these main polls, and itâs always been a tough challenge, and now itâs tougher given whatâs happened these last few weeks.â
Wallace said, âRon Klain, I know youâre here for your expertise in public health, but Iâve got to ask you this. I hear âObamagateâ and I hear, âIâm bleeped with my base,â because there is no âObamagate.â Itâs the political version of the Tooth Fairy. Itâs fantasies and fairy tales, and it means nothing. Itâs like invoking Santa or something totally made up. So to me, when I hear him use that term, Obamagate, that is groping for the hardcore supporter, which to me screams of real political peril. If he was in any safer political standing, he wouldnât still be sucking up to the hardcore base.â
The former Obama White House adviser said, âI think thatâs spot on. There are two political observations to make here. Thatâs the first one, which is that weâre in mid-May of an election year and if the president is so panicked about his base that heâs making up scandals about his predecessor, that tells you that heâs in trouble because this is the time of the year when incumbent presidents are trying to round up support, not reinforce their base. The second thing is I think Peterâs analysis of this is right, which is the Trump White House looks at this COVID problem and thinks they have to either deny that it exists or attack someone for it. I worked for two incumbent presidents, got re-elected. You worked for one who got re-elected. The way they get re-elected is they do a good job. Thatâs why they win or lose. He can blame a long list of people for this. He can try to beat the CDC to lower the death count, but he canât change the fact that he now has created a giant health mess and a giant economic mess. The second one, in particular, Nicolle, that economic mess, that is Trumpâs strength politically, is people believe he can deliver on the economy. Heâs now facing a huge economic crisis. This really goes to competence, and incumbent presidents canât do a horrible job and get re-elected. Thatâs what heâs facing.â
Wallace concluded, âIncumbent presidents running for president, it is always, always a referendum on you. So knock yourself out with the fantasies, Mr. President. This will be all about you.â

Samantha Power Denied Unmasking Individuals in 2016: âItâs Falseâ
Then-U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power denied unmasking people in 2016, but recently released documents show that she unmasked former Trump National Security Advisor Michael Flynn at least five times that year.
In October 2019, journalist Nicholas Ballasy asked Power after an event she was speaking at why she decided to unmask âso many individualsâ in 2016.
She responded, âItâs falseâŚcompletely false.â
She then began ignoring his questions, even as he walked down a hallway following her.
However, Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell recently unclassified names of former Obama officials who requested the unmasking of the name of a U.S. person in an intelligence document that revealed Flynnâs name.
Power requested unmaskings five times in 2016 and one time in 2017 just before the Obama administration left office.
The names were released as Republicans continue to investigate who illegally leaked Flynnâs name and his conversation with then-Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergei Kislyak to the Washington Post.
Unmasking refers to requesting the identity of a U.S. person swept up in surveillance of foreign targets. For instance, if Flynn had a conversation with a foreign official whose conversations were being surveilled, he would show up in an intelligence report as âU.S. person.â
Certain authorized national security officials could then request to know who the âU.S. personâ was. The intelligence report is still classified and not to be shared.
After Flynn, as incoming national security advisor, spoke with Kislyak on December 29, 2016, that call was illegally leaked to the Post and led to Flynnâs resignation.

Amb. Marie Yovanovitch Knew More About Burisma than She Admitted to Impeachment Inquiry
Newly-released State Department documents suggest that former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch knew more about Burisma, the corrupt company tied to Hunter Biden, than she told the House impeachment inquiry last year.
In November 2019, Yovanovitch testified in a public hearing before the House Intelligence Committee that she first learned about Burisma when she was being briefed for her confirmation hearings in 2016, and that the company was ânot a focusâ when she arrived at post.
In October, in her closed-door deposition, Yovanovitch told the committee â under oath â that she did not recall being briefed by embassy staff about Burisma, and that much of what she had learned came from âpress reports.â
But investigative reporter John Solomon reported Wednesday that Yovanovitch had discussed the company with staff:
[N]ewly unearthed State Department memos obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show Yovanovitchâs embassy in Kiev, including the ambassador herself, was engaged in several discussions and meetings about Burisma as the gas firm scrambled during the 2016 election and transition to settle a long-running corruption investigation and polish its image before President Trump took office.
Yovanovitch, for instance, was specifically warned in an email by her top deputy in September 2016 â three years before her testimony â that Burisma had hired an American firm with deep Democratic connections called Blue Star Strategies to ârehabilitate the reputationâ of the Ukrainian gas firm and that it had placed âHunter Biden on its board,â the memos show.
She also met directly with a representative for Burisma in her embassy office, less than 45 days before Trump took office, a contact she did not mention during her impeachment deposition.
The discussions about Burisma inside Yovanovitchâs embassy were so extensive, in fact, that they filled more than 160 pages of emails, memos and correspondence in fall 2016 alone, according to the State Department records obtained under FOIA by the conservative group Citizens United.
Read Solomonâs full report here.
Following that report, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, wrote to the State Department requesting it provide all documents from the Obama administration relating to Bursima, without redactions.
Yovanovitch was portrayed sympathetically by Democrats during the impeachment inquiry and trial as a victim of President Donald Trump and his attorney, Rudy Giuliani, who they claimed smeared her.

Deep State Made Unmasking Requests on Trump Family Members the Morning of President Trumpâs Inauguration!
As the details surrounding the Spygate scandal continue to be revealed it is clear that former President Obama was involved in the biggest political scandal in the history of America.
If former CIA Director John Brennan is outed as the quarterback of the dossier scandal, then by association, so is his boss, former President Obama.
In February 2019 The Gateway Pundit reported that Nellie Ohr, a communist sympathizer and wife of former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr, was investigating the Trump children during the election while she was feeding Democrat propaganda to the FBI and deep state.
Nellie Ohr was also working for Christopher Steele to write the garbage Steele dossier.
A source familiar with the closed-door testimony confirmed to FOX News that Nellie Ohr told House investigators that she was tasked with doing opposition research during the 2016 campaign on Melania Trump as well as the presidentâs children.
But Nellie Ohr was not the only one targeting the Trump children.
Trey Gowdy revealed on Thursday the Obama administration was spying on the Trump children.
Conservative Treehouse today reported on the unmasking of Trump family members on Inauguration Day back in 2017.
The Obama Deep State operatives were still working to find evidence of wrongdoing by the Trump Campaign, the Trump Transition Team and the Trump family even on Inauguration Day.
They never found ANYTHING!
Trey Gowdy: Itâs not just Michael Flynn. There was an unmasking request made the morning of the Inauguration, the morning of the Inauguration! President Trumpâs family membersâ names were unmasked. So that needs to be reformed. But you also have a real nice witness list to start investigating the leak of classified information. And Iâd be curious how many people on this unmasking list have been interviewed by the FBI.

WHY?
The reason the cabal will fight to the death is they know they are going to hell if they lose.
Their only hope is transhumanism where they can evade death by uploading their consciousness and live in transhuman vessels.
This is why they hate God as they know what is coming.
This is why they hate us as the more of us the more likely they will get busted and face justice.
This is why they will not stop until we catch them all.
This is why they need to inject us all with their nano tech so they can control us so we don't bust them and complain while they exterminate us.
GOD WINS
I don't think the baker is here atm do a bun for him
