NASA: Building Blocks for Life Discovered on Mars…..
08 June 2018
The "building blocks" for life have been discovered in 3-billion-year-old organic matter on Mars, NASA scientists announced Thursday.
Researchers cannot yet say whether their discovery stems from life or a more mundane geological process.
However, “we’re in a really good position to move forward looking for signs of life," said Jennifer Eigenbrode, a NASA biochemist and lead author of a study published Thursday in the peer-reviewed journal Science.
The findings were also remarkable in that they showed that organic material can be preserved for billions of years on the harsh Martian surface.
So, the Nephilim now have their evidence with which to deceive the gullible world population in the not-too-distant future?
Merkel Urges Europe to Step Up in Trump’s New World Order…..
08 June 2018
Chancellor Angela Merkel made a forceful pitch for Europe to play a more assertive role in global affairs as U.S. President Donald Trump dismantles the post-World War II order, setting the stage for a potential tense stand-off at the Group of Seven summit this week.
The German leader again questioned the durability of trans-Atlantic relations by referring to eye-raising comments she made over a year ago in which she said that “the times when we could fully rely on others are to some extent over.”
Those words, spoken at a beer-tent election rally, were a reaction to Trump hectoring European leaders for not spending enough on defence at a North Atlantic Treaty Organisation summit in Brussels.
Since then, more fuel has been added to the fire.
“That was my takeaway from the NATO summit, and in the meantime I continue to feel confirmed by my statement,” Merkel said in Munich on Wednesday, this time to a meeting of the European People’s Party, a grouping of centre-right parties in the European Parliament.
Meanwhile, Trump fired up his Twitter account to retaliate against a feisty tweet from French President Emmanuel Macron ahead of the conference.
Macron had said: "The American President may not mind being isolated, but neither do we mind signing a 6 country agreement if need be. Because these 6 countries represent values, they represent an economic market which has the weight of history behind it and which is now a true international force."
Vatican Secretary of State Attending Elite Bilderberg Meeting…..
June 7, 2018
ROME ; Cardinal Pietro Parolin, [pictured above] Vatican Secretary of State, will take part in the Bilderberg Conference, an annual private gathering of global political, business and media leaders, taking place this year in Turin, Italy, June 7-10.
This is a considerably important development.
Parolin’s name is included in the list of 131 participants in this year’s event.
His participation in the meeting has not been officially announced by the Vatican, though sources within the Secretariat of State have confirmed that he is scheduled to take part in the meeting.
It would be the first time high-ranking Vatican official has taken part in the Bilderberg Conferences.
Trump to Raise Israel’s NATO Status, Top up Its Armaments and Expand US Military Presence…….
09 July 2018
President Donald Trump is putting together an elaborate plan for elevating Israel’s NATO standing, upgrading its war arsenal and expanding the US military presence in that country.
These plans run directly contrary to the position voiced this week by North Atlantic Alliance Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. [pictured below]
He said that NATO will not support Israel if it is attacked by Iran, since“the [alliance’s] security guarantee does not apply to Israel” which is not part of the alliance.
In an interview to the German newspaper Der Spiegel, Stoltenberg stressed that NATO has no interest in involving itself in Middle East conflicts.
This was a message to the alliance’s leading members that the secretary general has no part in Trump’s Iran strategy and partnership with Israel, to both of which they take strong exception.
This week, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu visited Berlin, Paris and London, for an effort to dent the conflicting views on the issue held by Chancellor Angela Merkel, President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Theresa May.
None of them was ready to budge.
However, even Stoltenberg had to admit that there is scant hope of the 2015 “Iran deal” surviving after the US withdrawal – despite the trio’s diplomatic efforts - and that he was concerned that Iran’s “funding of terror contributes to the region’s instability.”
Stoltenberg was moved to speak out in the hope of stalling two events:
Even before Tehran announced a decision to expand nuclear enrichment on Tuesday, June 5, speculation was rife in the Middle East that the US and Israel would soon launch a joint military offensive against Iran.
In addition, reliable military and intelligence sources can reveal that President Trump is preparing to elevate Israel’s status in the alliance, while also expanding the presence of US troops in the country and topping up the IDF war arsenal.
These steps indicate preparations for war.
Stoltenberg and the key NATO West European leaders strongly disapprove of the US partnering a non-member Israel for a possible strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, leaving them out of the action.
The NATO secretary therefore sees stormy weather ahead for the North Atlantic Alliance.
The climate in Brussels will not be improved by the six unprecedented steps which our sources reveal Trump has in store for enhancing Israel’s military capabilities:
1. Raising Israel from “major non-NATO ally“ to member of thePartnership for Interoperability Initiative (PII), as the sixth member of this exclusive club, alongside Australia, Finland, Georgia, Jordan and Sweden.
Israel’s clearance for shared intelligence will be comparable to that of Australia, the UK and New Zealand.
The Partnership established at the Wales Summit in 2014 aimed to deepen long years of cooperation among the partners and allow them to contribute to the management of future crises including NATO-led operations and the NATO Response Force.
2. The US Mediterranean fleet will establish a permanent presence in the Israeli ports of Haifa and Ashdod, instead of occasional visits.
US Navy aircraft carriers and Aegis destroyers will be berthed there. The Lockheed Martin Aegis Combat System is an integrated naval weapons system developed by the Missile and Surface Radar Division.
It uses powerful computer and radar technology to track and guide weapons for destroying enemy targets. Aegis is now part of NATO’s European missile defence system.
In 2017, the US established its first official, permanent military base in Israel.
Stationed atop Mt. Keren deep in the southern Negev desert, [pictured above] it is administered by the US military’s European Command and includes barracks, offices and support services.
Its mission is to monitor Iranian airspace 1,000 miles to the north-east for any sign of a missile launch.
The THAAD radar atop Mt. Keren is the most advanced mobile radar array in use today.
In military terms, this weapon began life as the Forward-based X-Band Radar Transportable (FBX-T) system; it evolved into the Army Navy/Transportable Radar Surveillance, AN/TPY-2.
This high-resolution, X-band radar array has been integrated into missile interceptor systems like the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) and Terminal High Altitude Area Defence – known as the THAAD radar.
AN/TPY-2 may take its cues from nearby Aegis sites or overhead early warning spy satellites, as well as taking command of the Aegis systems or launching a ground-based interceptor against incoming threats, especially when they come from Iran.
The entire radar system is a component of the European-based US missile shield and will operate in sync with the US Aegis combat systems to be deployed along Israel’s Mediterranean coast, thereby extending to Israel the US shield against potential missile attack - not just from the east but also from the west.
3. The Israel Air Force will receive an additional increment of CH-52E Super Stallion cargo helicopters which are in service with the US 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit. The IAF will also be reinforced with new Boeing K-46 aerial refuelling tankers.
4. The Israeli army will be supplied with a large quantity of GVU-39s, which are small diameter, 110kg precision-guided glide bombs, that enable bombers to carry a large number of accurate bombs in their holds.
5. The Israeli Navy will be provided with semi-submersible Alligator-class commando boats, a new semi-stealth submarine manufactured at the Oregon Iron Works.
6. The US will top up its own war reserve stock of weapons and ammo at the Negev base. This reserve pre-positions supplies of war materiel ready for use if needed for war. It includes a Strategic Petroleum Reserve in case of need.
All in all, the Trump administration is providing Israel and its armed forces with the military resources for preparing for war of a quality and quantityfar in excess of those possessed by NATO’s members.
US and Russia Execute Tactical Pullbacks in Syria……
09 June 2018
On the same day, the US and Russia both pulled back troops from separate pockets in Syria.
On Tuesday, June 5, the former withdrew from the northern town of Manbij near the Turkish border; the latter left Qusair near Syria’s western border with Lebanon.
The Trump administration acted on the strength of an understandingreached with Turkey.
On June 5, State Department Spokeswoman Heather Nauert stated that the US-backed Syrian Kurdish YPG militia was set to leave the hotly-disputed northern Syrian town of Manbij following a roadmap agreed on June 4 in Washington between US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu.
The withdrawal was to proceed in three stages:
(1) Ten days for the US and Turkish military and intelligence agencies to prepare the Syrian-Kurdish withdrawal from Manbij.
(2) A meeting of the teams from both sides to wind up the preparations stage, and
(3) Implementation of the road map.
