The War For Our Mind & Soul Continues

Note: The trend for this week as seen in the multiple news reports
around the world are three items: (1) FBI Comey testifies today (2) N.
Korea makes a strong threat against U.S. and (3) New found evidence that
exposes the NSA's surveillance of Trump.
As you know...May 1st
will unleash the cockroaches of Communism as a day of protest and
strikes around the world, and in America....the unions and fast food
servers, etc are expected to show their faces in support of Communism.
Watch
how the Jane Fonda types go ballistic when President Trump speaks this
week about potential action of potential "preemptive strike" options on
North Korea. Secretary of State Tillerson returns this week from his
discussions with China and South Korea with a new understanding with
China's President Xi.
Both
China and the U.S. agree to re-enforce U.N. sanctions on N. Korea, but
China worries an influx of N. Korean refugees will result if harsh
sanctions further impoverish that nation. The Trump Administration will
obviously not hold-back as other administrations have when the
Munchkin-Un flaps his wings and launches missiles towards Japan.---Dave

Seoul alienated from talks over N. Korea
By Yi Whan-woo
South Korea is unlikely to be given a say in upcoming talks between the United States and China over North Korea because it has little leverage over the North, analysts said Monday.
Their analysis reflects pessimism that Seoul has no choice but to wait for a possible big deal between the U.S. and China in handling the North's nuclear brinkmanship.
Seoul has virtually used up all its cards on Pyongyang by shutting down the Gaeseong Industrial Complex in 2016 and cutting all inter-Korean dialogue channels in line with U.S.-led sanctions against the Kim Jong-un regime for its nuclear and missile programs.

EU Taxpayers Brace As Deepening Banking Crisis Means Euro-TARP Looms
If
the ECB scales back stimulus, banks face even greater risk of collapse.
But now there’s a new solution Events are moving so fast in Europe
these days, it’s almost impossible to keep up. While much of the
attention is being hogged by political developments, including the
election in the Netherlands, Reuters published a report warning that the
European banking sector may face even higher bad loan risks if the ECB
begins to scale back its monetary stimulus programs, something it has
already begun, albeit extremely tentatively.

| Comment Politics and Economics, not Religion, Spawned Radical Islam
The
phenomena of Islamic radicalism all over the world is directly linked
to Wahhabi-Salafi madrassahs (religious seminaries) that are generously
funded by Saudi and Persian Gulf’s petro-dollars. These madrassahs
attract children from the most impoverished backgrounds in the Third
World Islamic countries, because they offer the kind of incentives and
facilities which even the government sponsored public schools cannot
provide: such as, free boarding and lodging, no tuition fee at all and
free of cost books and stationery; some generously funded madrassahs
even pay monthly stipends to students.

estimates. In the late 1960’s early 70’s, Piland served as a naval
officer, during the Vietnam war. Upon his return to the states, he
earned a degree in nutrition from The University of California –

| Comment Confirmed: FISA’s Section 702 Permits “Warrantless” Spying on Americans’ Communications
Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) has come under scrutiny as it is set to expire this year on Dec. 31.
The deadline of the contentious section which came into law in 2008 and
was renewed in 2012, has impelled lawmakers to review its necessity.
Section 702 of the FISA arguably allows the NSA and other agencies to
exploit loopholes to intercept Americans’ communications while
collecting information on foreign targets. Depending on who you speak
with, this is an infringement on Americans’ privacy under the Fourth
Amendment, or it’s vital to national security.

| Comment Erdogan: "Europeans Would Revive The Gas Chambers If They Weren't Ashamed"
Six
months ago, it was virtually assured that as part of his daily out at
the West, Philippines' president Duterte would accuse then-president
Obama of being a "son of a bitch (or whore)." Now, a similar dynamic is
playing out between Turkish president Erdogan and Angela Merkel, and/or
the German (and Dutch) people, whom he now accuses on an almost daily
basis of being Nazis, as a result of the escalating diplomatic spat
between Turkey and Europe. And while some have grown accustomed to
Erdogan's daily verbal diarrhea, today the Turkish president took it to
the next level: while on Sunday
Erdogan once again compared Europe with the Nazis, and accused Angela
Merkel of engaging “Nazi practices", he escalated dramatically when he
said that Europeans “would revive gas chambers” if they weren't
ashamed."
