The ads come from the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ) founded and run by Rabbi Yeckiel Eckstein.

US officials are keeping a keen eye on a Russian complex nestled on the edge of a volcanic crater in Nicaragua.

The center, which is believed to be a satellite station, has been built near the Laguna de Nejapa in Managua – the capital of the Central American nation, according to Daily Mail.

The Washington Post reports the local government described the complex as, “simply a tracking site of the Russian version of a GPS satellite system”, but not everyone is convinced it isn’t something more sinister.   Continue reading “Fears grow over mystery Russian compound in Nicaragua”

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel closed its Taba border crossing to the Sinai peninsula on Monday following warnings by its anti-terrorism office of an “imminent” militant attack there and urged its citizens to leave Egypt hours before the start of the Passover holiday, when Sinai is a popular destination for many secular Israelis.

Soon after the announcement, sirens wailed in parts of southern Israel alerting residents to a rocket attack. The military said a rocket fired from Sinai exploded in southern Israel, hitting a greenhouse but causing no injuries. The Islamic State group later claimed responsibility for the attack.   Continue reading “Israel shuts Egypt border after terror warning Passover eve”

A video posted on Facebook late Sunday evening shows a passenger on a United Airlines flight from Chicago to Louisville being forcibly removed from the plane before takeoff at O’Hare International Airport.

The video, posted by Audra D. Bridges at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, is taken from an aisle seat on a commercial airplane that appears to be preparing to take flight. The 31-second clip shows three men wearing radio equipment and security jackets speaking with a man seated on the plane. After a few seconds, one of the men grabs the passenger, who screams, and drags him by his arms toward the front of the plane. The video ends before anything else is shown.   Continue reading “Video shows man forcibly removed from United flight from Chicago to Louisville”

During the election campaign season, Donald Trump gathered a team from a variety of backgrounds and different political factions,  bringing together a team to push his anti-globalist message, his America First policy. That team included Jared Kushner, Steve Bannon and others. We are specifically referencing Kushner and Bannon because they represent the complete opposite sides of the political spectrum of people that helped Trump win the 2016 presidential election.   Continue reading “Trump Supporters Go After Jared Kushner – Americans Didn’t Vote To Put Hillary In The White House”

The “extreme vetting” proposals floated this week by Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly include the idea of making visitors to the U.S. open their phones and disclose their contacts, passwords and social media handles to immigration authorities. This might potentially be constitutional, because visitors outside the U.S. don’t necessarily have privacy protection. But it’s a serious threat to Americans’ constitutional rights anyway. The intrusion into core privacy of visa applicants through the fiction of consent can easily be extended to U.S. citizens in a wide range of situations.   Continue reading “‘Extreme Vetting’ Also Threatens Privacy of Americans”

A volley of U.S. cruise missiles had barely been launched into Syria before the Internet filled up with fact-free theories about the real reason for an international crisis.

A popular one on the right-most fringes: The U.S. government actually carried out the chemical weapons massacre in Syria last week — a “false flag” to trick President Trump into retaliating, thus entangling himself in a foreign war.   Continue reading “MSNBC host’s conspiracy theory: What if Putin planned the Syrian chemical attack to help Trump?”

Here is a quick analysis of why the so-called “chemical gas attack” in Syria is very likely a fake or a false flag attack.

Cui Bono: Latin for “Who Benefits?” Who gains from this attack? Certainly not the Syrian President, Assad. He’s been winning the wars against both ISIS and Al Qaeda for the last 4 months, capturing one major city/region after another. He is getting help from Russia, Iran and even the U.S. Just a couple of days ago, Trump said he is dropping the slogan, “Assad must go.” A chemical attack by Assad would be the dumbest move ever that turns the world against him. So the ONLY people to benefit from this “chemical gas attack” are Assad’s enemies.   Continue reading “False Flag Or Fake: “Chemical Gas Attack” In Syria”
