Recently, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said Qatari troops should replace US soldiers in northern Syria or Washington could pull its support for Doha leading to its downfall. The more so, al-Jubeir warned Qatari government that it faced its imminent demise unless it funded a US military presence in Syria.

The country maintains a military force of approximately 104,100 men, including an Army (65,000), Navy (21,400), Emiri Guard (20,400), Internal Security Forces (15,000) and air force (3,700). Ridiculous! How they are going to fight Assad with such an army?   Continue reading “Why Does KSA Call Qatar to Deploy Forces to Syria?”

WEB Notes: Can you believe this? Of course you can. We live in the last days of this age of flesh. This is not the Mark of the Beast, that mark is spiritual in nature, though it will have very real physical consequences. Nevertheless, this should get your attention. The people there are being forced into a new economic system and if they refuse, they are pushed outside of its bounds.

Augusta, Maine – Police arrested a man after he crashed his car into a ditch and passed out from the impact caused by the deployed airbag, and they claimed they thought the bag of powder they found in the car’s glove compartment was heroin.

The vehicle is owned by Kevin Raymond Curtis, 57, and he told Central Maine that the powder was actually the cremated remains of his father, which he was storing in the vehicle until he received the urn he ordered.   Continue reading “Man Arrested After Police Mistake Dead Grandpa’s Ashes for Heroin”

SHTF Plan – by Mac Slavo

The NRA continues to rake in money in the wake of gun control activists vocally demanding the government strip away the rights of gun owners.  The gun rights lobbying group broke fundraising records in March largely thanks to the gun control crowd.

The numbers don’t lie either. The National Rifle Association’s Political Victory Fund raised $2.4 million from March 1 to March 31 of this year, according to The Tampa Bay Times.  As the March for Our Lives movement captured the mainstream media’s attention because it fit their carefully crafted pro-government narrative, in the weeks after the Parkland shooting, the other side of the gun control debate enjoyed a big month of its own.   Continue reading “The Backfire Continues: NRA Breaks Fundraising Records In Wake Of Gun Control Demands”

There is no need for Russian and Chinese businesses to pay each other in dollars and euros, when they can settle in rubles and yuan, according to Zhou Liqun, chairman of the Union of Chinese Entrepreneurs in Russia.

“The leaders of the two countries should think over improving relations, especially in financial cooperation. Why make payments with foreign currency? Why dollar? Why euro? They can be made directly in the yuan and the ruble,” he told RIA Novosti on the sidelines of the Valdai Discussion Club conference in Shanghai, titled “Russia and China: Contemporary Development Challenges.”   Continue reading “China urges ditching dollar & euro trade with Russia in favor of national currencies”

BERLIN (AP) — Germans of various faiths donned Jewish skullcaps and took to the streets Wednesday in several cities to protest an anti-Semitic attack in Berlin and express fears about growing hatred of Jews in the country.

The kippa protest was triggered by the daytime assault last week of two young men wearing skullcaps in an upscale neighborhood in the German capital. The attack, in which a 19-year-old Syrian asylum-seeker is a suspect, drew outrage in Germany and sharp condemnation by Chancellor Angela Merkel.   Continue reading “Germans don skullcaps to protest anti-Semitism”

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Authorities in California plan to make a “major announcement” in the case of an elusive serial killer they say committed at least 12 homicides, 45 rapes and dozens of burglaries across the state in the 1970s and 1980s.

Jane Carson-Sandler, who was sexually assaulted in California in 1976 by a man believed to be the so-called “East Area Rapist,” said she received an email Wednesday from a retired detective who worked on the case telling her they have identified the rapist and he’s in custody.   Continue reading “‘Major announcement’ planned on elusive serial killer”
