It has been nearly two years, since I reported on the dangers of creating a law enforcement run Mental Health Assessment (MHA) program. In Texas, police use MHA’s to “screen” every person they have arrested for mental illness.

NUWEIBA – A dozen photographs have been removed from an exhibition on Israel in the Mexico City Metro after complaints filed by the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against the Jewish state, claiming the images, which included scenes from the Golan Heights and eastern Jerusalem, depicted territories under “brutal military occupation.”

Israel’s Foreign Ministry on Sunday confirmed that 12 of 50 photographs had been removed from the “A Look at Israel” exhibit in the city’s metro.

In 1915 a business associate of J P Morgan told American businessman that entering WW I would be great for America because it would bankrupt our Allies in England, France and Russia. Jacob Schiff gave Trotsky $20 million in gold so he and 400 Jewish Communists could leave Brooklyn for Russia. They set up a Jewish Communist government which eventually killed more than 60 million Gentiles. Half or 30 million were killed because they were guilty of being Christians. Arthur Balfour wrote to Lord Rothschild promising the Jews Israel as a British colony.  Continue reading “The Power Elite: Betraying Citizens Since World War I”

Donald Trump’s foreign policy relies heavily on putting to use to the tools available to the Empire: economic terrorism, threats of war, diplomatic pressure, trade wars, etc. But in resorting to tried-and-true imperialism, it is isolating itself internationally from traditional allies and raising tensions on the global chessboard to an unprecedented level.  Continue reading “Shielding the World From US Chaos Is No Easy Task”
