The War For Our Mind & Soul Continues

April 14th, 2017
Ed Note: The pot is at the boiling point for this Easter weekend around the world with many potential events that are expected to take place. Japan is now evacuating 60,000 of their citizens from South Korea, a move that could only happen by credible intelligence of a pending attack from North Korea. In the meanwhile, Vice President Pence is on his way to South Korea.....not a good move by anyone's standards. Jihadi's around the world will likely attack Christian gatherings and here at home, we have a radical Leftist terrorist (Joseph Jakubowski) of whom sent his manifesto to President Trump detailing his anti-religion sentiments. Jakubowski has warned media that he will attack soon and (IMO) it will be Sunday. Therefore....those church goers out here should maintain an extremely high level of awareness and carry your weapons in the event thereof. If your church is a "Gun Free Zone" I'd stay home..or carry your weapon. The danger area is Wisconsin, but if he is clever, he will hit another state. Be safe and beware.-- Dave Bertrand

US Drops Largest Non-Nuclear Bomb For The First Time On ISIS In Afghanistan (Video) Zero Hedge - At roughly 7pm local time on Thursday, the United States military used its GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb (MOAB), nicknamed “the mother of all bombs,” for the first time in combat. The US Air Force used it in Afghanistan to target Islamic State tunnels and personnel. The 21,000-pound (9,525 kg) bomb was dropped in the Achin district of the Nangarhar province in eastern Afghanistan. The Pentagon confirmed the use of the MOAB, and is currently assessing damage. General John Nicholson, commander of US forces in Afghanistan, signed off on its use, CNN reported. Authority was also sought from General Joseph Votel, commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM). The Air Force “took every precaution to avoid civilian casualties,” CENTCOM added. “The strike was designed to minimize the risk to Afghan and U.S. Forces conducting clearing operations in the area while maximizing the destruction of ISIS-K fighters and facilities,” CENTCOM said in a statement, referring to Islamic State Khorasan, the branch of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Uzbekistan…. The MOAB was designed to target large below-ground areas. It would have “feel like a nuclear weapon to anyone near the area," Lieutenant Colonel Rick Francona (ret.) told CNN. The GPS-guided munition would have already been in country before it was dropped out of an MC-130 aircraft, operated by Air Force Special Operations Command, military sources told CNN’s Barbara Starr…. President Donald Trump told reporters that he's given the military "total authorization," and "that's why they've been so successful lately." When asked if the use of the MOAB in Afghanistan might send a message to North Korea amid increased tensions with the isolated country, Trump replied: "I don't know if it sends a message, I don't care if it does or not."
North Korea "May Be" Capable Of Sarin-Tipped Missiles, Japanese PM Warns
Zero Hedge - If you weren't scared before, Japanese PM Abe just stepped up to the global fearmongery plate, announcing in parliament that "there is a possibility that North Korea already has a capability to deliver missiles with sarin as warheads." Of course, he offered no evidence, but in this new normal, it seems possibilities trump probabilities. On many world leaders' minds is the fact that North Korea marks the 105th anniversary of the birth of state founder Kim Il Sung on Saturday, North Korea's biggest national day called "Day of the Sun". Leaders have in the past used the date to carry out weapons tests.
Syria Accuses US Of Hitting ISIS Chemical Weapons Depot Killing Hundreds; Russia Sends Drones
Zero Hedge - The Syrian General Staff said that the US-led coalition struck an ISIS depot storing chemical weapons in Deir ez-Zor on Wednesday, poisoning and killing several hundred people, including civilians. Russia has reportedly dispatched drones to the area to confirm Syria's reports. Update: The Pentagon has admitted to mistakenly killing 18 Syrians in an airstrike on April 11th...
Assad: Chemical Weapons Attack Is ‘100 Percent Fabrication’
The Daily Caller - Syrian President Bashar al-Assad believes the U.S. fabricated a chemical weapons attack in order to justify a cruise missile strike, he told AFP in a Thursday interview. “Definitely, 100 percent for us, it’s fabrication… Our impression is that the West, mainly the United States, is hand-in-glove with the terrorists,” Assad declared. He continued, “they fabricated the whole story in order to have a pretext for the attack.” Assad further claimed the Syrian Arab Army relinquished all of its chemical weapons stock under the terms of a 2013 deal brokered between the U.S. and Russia. “How can you verify a video? You have a lot of fake videos now,” Assad said veering into conjecture. He continued, “We don’t know whether those dead children were killed in Khan Sheikhun. Were they dead at all?”
North Korea's "Big And Important Event" - A Street Opening!
Zero Hedge - Amid social media chatter of Pyongyang evacuations, North Korea told foreign journalists to prepare for a "big and important event" on Thursday (ahead of The Day of The Sun) - conjuring images of nuclear missile tests or Supreme-leader-led military drills. However, the "big and important event" turned out to be... a street opening!
Turkey to Confiscate Gold in New Clever Way – To Help Citizens Earn Money Armstrong Economics - The dwindling credit of Turkey and significant decline in its currency, has led to the new clever idea of confiscating gold with a smile. The Turkish Central Bank has come up with an idea of how to confiscate private gold while pretending they are helping you earn more money. Their objective is to make the private gold stocks of the citizens available to the financial system for themselves, but how to sell that to the people? The Turkish central bank is launching two new investment opportunities for physical gold, according to reports in the Daily Sabah. They are issuing a gold bond on one hand and on the other an instrument for the loan of gold and gold jewelry. The scheme is that the Turkish government is really seeking to use the precious metal in the private sector making it available to the financial industry. This is being marketed as broadening the financial system allowing citizens to earn additional income with their gold reserves under their mattresses by turning it over to the government.
Campaign HQ of France presidential hopeful Le Pen targeted by arson attempt
RT - A building housing the campaign headquarters of French presidential hopeful Marine Le Pen in Paris has been targeted by an arson attempt. Those who reportedly took responsibility or the incident vowed to continue such acts “every day until the elections.”… Le Pen denounced the incident on Twitter, pointing the finger at leftist groups. “The extreme left-wing groups are acting with impunity, the government is letting them go, and I demand their dissolution!” she wrote. However, Le Pen gave no details as to why she thinks that these particular groups are responsible. Later Le Pen confirmed to RT that the attack was committed by “extreme left groups.” “They are responsible for aggression against police which we regularly see on TV and [violence] at the end of each protest,” she said.

Press Release Arizona Republican Party Calls On Representative Jesus Rubalcava To Resign
Arizona Republican Party Communications Director Torunn Sinclair today released the following statement calling on State RepresentativeJesus Rubalcava to resign. -- Representative Jesus Rubalcava's words aimed at Senator Debbie Lesko are absolutely reprehensible," said Torunn Sinclair, Arizona Republican Party Communications Director. "They reflect his character and severe lack of judgement. His apology got one thing right --- his actions are unacceptable. Arizonans should not tolerate this type of behavior so unbecoming of an elected official. Commenting on a Facebook post saying you want to punch a female colleague in the throat is despicable.
