“Recount Game Over: Federal Judge **ENDS** Michigan Recount”
*“Recount Game Over:* *Federal Judge **ENDS** Michigan Recount”* by Newsroom “A federal Judge has HALTED the Election Recount taking place in Michigan on behalf of failed Green Party Candidate Jill Stein. The Michigan Election Commission confirmed they received the federal court ruling just moments ago at about 7:30 PM eastern US time. This comes on the heels of another court ruling, by the Michigan State Court of Appeals, which also ordered a HALT to the recount, claiming Stein's effort was unlawful. This makes other ongoing recount efforts pretty-much futile since none of the ongo... more »
Will Trumpy-the-Clown's Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, Destroy The Marijuana Industry?
The marijuana industry is growing by leaps and bounds across the country. And industry players are spending money on lobbying and have even been contributing to friendly candidates.

Lady Gaga: Prince Charles ‘Is Not Human’
Lady Gaga has told senior staff and associates that Prince Charles is not human but is a “hybrid that shapeshifts between human and reptilian form” and according to sources close to the pop star she has witnessed him shapeshift “before her very eyes”, and in her opinion it was a warning to her to “get back on script” and “start playing by their rules.” Lady Gaga met Prince Charles at the Royal Variety Performance in London on Dec. 7 and was criticized in some quarters of the tabloid press for failing to observe royal etiquette in the presence of the heir to the throne. It has now b... more »
Study: 70% Of Olive Oil Is Fake – Stop Buying These Brands
More than two-thirds of common brands of extra-virgin olive oil found in American grocery stores aren’t what they claim to be, according to a University of California at Davis study. Instead, the oils were made from lower quality olives unfit to be labeled “extra virgin.” Worse, some were outright counterfeits, made from soy, hazelnut, and even cheap fish oils mixed with low grade olive-pomace oil and additives to create the look and smell of extra virgin olive oil. Far more valuable than other vegetable oils, olive oil is also more costly and time consuming to produce. People hav... more »
December 7 – White Hats Report #57 – The Trump Factor: Trexit, America’s answer to the Globalists and Exposure on a grand scale.
Following the lead of our friends across the pond, America delivered their own version of Brexit by electing Donald Trump president. In the year of miracles, add Trexit to Brexit and the Cubs winning their first World Series in 108 years to the list of odds defying events. History tells us that eventually the pendulum will change direction and swing the other way and the number of casualties is growing by the day. The list is long and distinguished and perhaps the biggest losers are the US crime families named Clinton and Bush. Don’t be fooled by the asskissing of all the losers wh... more »

The hidden costs of saving those Carrier jobs
*Rarely has a deal done by a President-elect been heard so loudly around the world. And what a deal: 1,100 Americans keep their jobs, Carrier gets lower taxes, and Donald Trump gets many thousand approving headlines. That, as Bastiat would say, “is what is seen.” What is not seen, explains Tom Mullen in this guest post, is the vast amounts of wealth destroyed by this protectionist deal.* Donald Trump has not taken office and already he is delivering on his promise to keep manufacturing jobs in the United States. Last week, he visited Indiana to celebrate his part in persuading... more »
Rothschilds Caught Orchestrating US Election Outcome
The U.S. Presidential election was rigged even before the first ballot was cast. The Rothschilds were up to their old tricks – funding both sides of the war in order to fuel chaos, derive maximum profit, and ensure they retain ultimate influence when the new order emerges. Everybody knows Hillary Clinton was the establishment’s candidate of choice, backed by the Rothschilds and the New World Order. But what is less well known is that Donald Trump is also a Rothschild creation and actor, playing a part in the great sham that is the Illuminati’s fake election, designed to keep contro... more »

Today In History: Pearl Harbor 75 Years Ago Today - The False Flag Attack That Thrust The United States Into World War II
Today is a day that indeed will live in infamy.... Seventy-five years ago today, the Japanese strike force known as Kido Butai containing 6 fleet aircraft carriers and support vessels, launched two aerial strikes against the US Naval Pacific Fleet while it sat at anchor in Pearl Harbor, Oahu, Hawaii.... That attack cost the lives of some 2300+ US servicemen and women, along with sinking 18 surface ships of the American Pacific fleet, and destroying upwards of 150+ aircraft on the ground... And yes, with that strike the empire of Japan was officially at war with the United States of ... more »

Homage to Nancy (Nasty) Pelosi
*Nancy Pelosi may be the best friend that conservatives have. * The seventy-six year old multi-millionaire who represents California's 12th District (San Francisco) has presided over the demise of the Democrat Party from her seat in The People's House.

The Battle For The Iraqi City Of Mosul -- News Updates December 7, 2016
*Reuters*: *How Iran closed the Mosul 'horseshoe' and changed Iraq war* In the early days of the assault on Islamic State in Mosul, Iran successfully pressed Iraq to change its battle plan and seal off the city, an intervention which has since shaped the tortuous course of the conflict, sources briefed on the plan say. The original campaign strategy called for Iraqi forces to close in around Mosul in a horseshoe formation, blocking three fronts but leaving open the fourth - to the west of the city leading to Islamic State territory in neighboring Syria.

China Warns Trump: Get In Line Or Else
China have issued an ominous warning to incoming President Donald Trump, saying that he better “get in line” soon or “pay dearly”. Chinese state media reported on Tuesday that Trump’s phone-call with Taiwan’s president and subsequent Twitter rant attacking Beijing, represents a potential severing of diplomatic relations between the US and China. Yahoo News reports: “Provoking friction and messing up China-US relations won’t help ‘make America great again'”, said a front-page opinion piece in the overseas edition of Communist Party mouthpiece People’s Daily.

Pope Francis: Alt-Media Investigative Reporters Are “Sh*t Eaters”
Pope Francis has launched a vicious, scathing attack on American alternative media and investigative reporters, labelling them “sh*t eaters” and warning them not to cover scandals “even if they are true” and instead concentrate on pumping out nice stories for the masses. “I think the media have to be very clear, very transparent, and not fall into – no offence intended – the sickness of coprophilia, that is, always wanting to cover scandals, covering nasty things, even if they are true,” the Pope said in an interview with the Belgian Catholic weekly Tertio. “And since people have ... more »
WikiLeaks: Rockefeller Caught Dictating US Government Policy
WikiLeaks has released a cable that reveals the US Government held a series of top-secret meetings with David Rockefeller over where to hide the elite family of the Shah after the Iranian revolution in 1979. The release, which details top-secret dealings between then Secretery of State Henry Kissinger, and tycoon David Rockefeller, adds rocket fuel to one of the longest running conspiracy theories – that the US Government is actually run from behind the scenes by a shadow government who take orders from a secretive global elite known as the Illuminati.

Quote of the Day: On socialism v fascism
*"Both Communists and Fascists describe themselves as socialists, since unlimited power over the economy entails unlimited power over everything, and vice versa.

YUP, NOT A DIME'S WORTH OF DIFFERENCE
Nobody could have predicted that an incoming president who's said climate change is a hoax would do something like this: President-elect Donald J. Trump has selected Scott Pruitt, the Oklahoma attorney general and a close ally of the fossil fuel industry, to run the Environmental Protection Agency, signaling Mr. Trump’s determination to dismantle President Obama’s efforts to counter climate change -- and much of the E.P.A. itself. Mr. Pruitt, a Republican, has been a key architect of the legal battle against Mr. Obama’s climate change policies.... “Scientists continue to disagree a... more »

As promised, let's talk about the so-called progressive alliance, that Labour, the LibDems, Greens, SNP, and Plaid should come to a non-aggression arrangement to maximise the anti-Conservative vote in upcoming by-elections and the next general election (now most unlikely to be next year). This means unpicking 'tribalism'. Let's start off with a question.

By Paul Homewood http://www.thegwpf.com/lord-donoughue-labour-must-ditch-its-climate-change-obsession/ From GWPF: In 2008, I was one of the many members of both houses who unquestioningly voted for Ed Miliband’s Climate Change Act, with its legal commitments to rapidly decarbonise the British economy. The measure was not properly costed (now forecast at upwards of £360bn by 2050). I […]

75 Years Ago - This Morning
*WH press secretary says WWII veterans should * *get over their ‘bitterness’ about Pearl Harbor attack.* Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is planning to visit Pearl Harbor, on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the attack and I have no problem with that. However, the unprovoked, surprise attack on Pearl Harbor is something that we shouldn't ever forget. Barack urged us a couple of years ago to get over the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon and World Trade Center (and the aborted attack on the White House). It's not about getting over something and moving on. It's about recalling h... more »

Pence Defends Trump’s Call With President Of Taiwan, Says American People ‘Encouraged’ By Engagement
What Donald did here is tactically correct. He is not president yet. That means opening a relationship now is baggage free and can be walked away from without a problem. Trying to do this would be hugely problematic after he is in office. Then it also solves another problem. It puts the Chinese off balance for what will be strenuous negotiations. Their whole strategy regarding the near ocean just got called. Rather silly to have a 'wall' when the gate is held by your main rival. This also gives the Chinese another huge problem. They have been running bluffs. They ... more »
Living Cells Bind Silicon and Carbon for the First Time

Enochian: The Mysterious Lost Language of Angels
What i am sure of is that angels communicate mind to mind. At that point your mind translates it into your language allowing you understanding. This does not exclude a natural language preferred by the spirit world. A comment made here seems to associate some of this material with the speaking of tongues and it is quite plausible that the spirit world xcould babble on in its own natural language. At the least this opens a promising line of inquiry which no one has understood for four centuries. who would have thought? I note that this script is easy to print which made up scr... more »
Egypt Uncovers International Satanic Organ And Child Trafficking Ring
An international Satanic organ harvesting ring has been uncovered in Egypt. Authorities have arrested doctors, nurses, professors and members of the elite allegedly involved in Satanic rituals involving human organs and dead children. The arrests of at least 45 people on Tuesday also included international organ buyers and middlemen who profit off the Satanic organization’s thirst for human body parts, the country’s Administrative Control Authority said. Authorities said the discovery of “millions of dollars and gold bullion” prompted them to investigate further and led to the unr... more »
Reduction in African dust plume led to more Saharan monsoons 11,000 years ago
What makes this so important is that we have a climate that is desert like before the Pleistocene nonconformity of 12900 BP. During the Ice Age this area must have been desiccated and inhospitable for at least a million years. Only the Holocene changed that. This is very important because it establishes that the change brought about by the rapid end of the Ice Age was surely other than simple climate variation and fully supports my conjecture regarding a significant crustal shift that had Afrrica on one of the poles of rotation and the Pacific on the other. Plenty of additional... more »
China building a Malaysian version of Shenzhen and pan asian high speed rail
China is building a trans-asia high speed rail line in south east asia and helped build a $100 billion city in Malaysia, just across the border from Singapore. China has begun building a high speed rail that will connect Myanmar’s cities. This will cut the journey time from Muse, Shan State, to Yangon to one hour. “This will be an Asian continental railroad that will connect Kunming and Ruili in Yunnan province with Thailand and Malaysia via Myanmar. Work has already begun on the rail link between Kunming and Ruili, and work is proceeding on the Lu Zen tunnel,” said China’s consul ... more »

December 7, 1941...
*a date which will live in infamy. * The attack on Pearl Harbor occurred almost exactly four years before I was born, but I "remember" it well due to my parents passing on the history to me. Almost all of my uncles fought in WWII as well. It is sad to witness history being subverted to soothe the social justice warriors who roam the world doing great harm. It is our duty to pass on real history because without knowing what came before, we'll certainly have no way of knowing what's coming in the future.
US Policymakers Propose Working Closer with ISIS' Sponsors
*December 7, 2016* (Tony Cartalucci - NEO) - US-based corporate-financier funded policy think tank, the Brookings Institution, published a particularly incoherent piece titled, "Should we work with the devil we know against the Islamic State?" The piece's author, a senior fellow in the Center for Middle East Policy at Brookings, Daniel Byman, claims (emphasis added): *Saudi Arabia has proven a major source of terrorist recruits and financing, while the Syria-Turkey border was a major crossing point for Islamic State recruits.

You probably saw this eye-popping Christie polling numbers this morning.

Obama Defies Congress, Bans Prosecution Of Planned Parenthood
