Are We There Yet? Exposing the Criminality of the State....and Bringing the Perps to Justice
*WTC Victims* The False Flag of 9/11 started it all. The long trip spiraling downwards into an endless journey with jarring pit stops--punctuated by one False Flag after another. Today the Newz is full of the latest Manchester bombing False Flag. Regular readers will note that I didn't even cover this latest one...just like the other ones.

Señor Trumpanzee Goes To Europe-- Putin Victory Dance
No matter how much it cost Putin to first bribe and then install Trump in the White House, it has paid off for him... in spades. Trump's first disastrous foray into Europe couldn't have gone better for Russia if Putin scripted it himself. Since the late 40's, Russia's top strategic goal in Europe has been to break up the German-American alliance. Nothing the Soviets tried worked but then Putin unleashed his secret weapon, a moronic, greed-driven TV game show host, on the world.

Not Even Impeaching Trump Would Save The House Republicans From Angry Voters
I've never been a big fan of Nate Silver's or his brand of research. But sometimes-- like this time-- he hits the nail right on the head. His point last week is that conventional wisdom about the solidity of Trump's core support is incorrect and that Trump's base is already looking shaky and starting to shrink. A widely held tenet of the current conventional wisdom is that while President Trump might not be popular overall, he has a high floor on his support. Trump’s sizable and enthusiastic base-- perhaps 35 to 40 percent of the country-- won’t abandon him any time soon, the the... more »
