WEB Notes: Joe Maldonado (9 years old) who was born a girl, but “identifies” as a boy has been accepted as a “Boy Scout“. In these last days the confusion is rampant. 20 years ago people would have said this issue of “gender identity” would never have existed, but it does today and it involves our children. Today, no matter what sex you are born as you can “identify” as another even as a child.

Ever since Genghis Khan used tree bark as legal tender and backed it up by threatening anyone who didn’t use it with death, governments have manipulated paper money to suit their purposes.

Zero Hedge – by Tyler Durden

The Trump Administration is preparing an executive order that would direct the Pentagon to bring future Islamic State detainees to Guantánamo Bay prison, despite warnings from national security officials and legal scholars that doing so risks undermining what increasinly appears as an “illegal” war launched by Obama to combat the terrorist organization (which many have accused of being directly and indirectly created by Saudi Arabia and the US itself).

According to the NYT which obtained a draft of the order (see below), White House officials “have spelled out their thinking about a new detainee policy in an evolving series of drafts of an executive order being circulated among national security officials for comment.
