JANESVILLE, Wis. (AP) — The estranged stepfather of a Wisconsin man suspected of stealing guns and threatening attacks in an anti-government manifesto sent to the White House on Tuesday urged the fugitive to surrender.

Don McLean said his stepson, Joseph Jakubowski, has never had a good relationship with police and that he and his wife are concerned for his safety. “We just want him to give up. There’s no good ending to this except him giving up,” McLean, 54, told The Associated Press during an interview Tuesday in which he repeatedly pleaded for his stepson to surrender.   Continue reading “Stepfather of suspect in Wisconsin manhunt: Surrender”

U.S. President Donald Trump, who has urged China to do more to rein in its impoverished neighbour, said in a Tweet North Korea was “looking for trouble” and the United States would “solve the problem” with or without China’s help.   Continue reading “North Korea state media warns of nuclear strike if provoked as U.S. warships approach”

SAN FRANCISCO — Fingerprint sensors have turned modern smartphones into miracles of convenience. A touch of a finger unlocks the phone — no password required. With services like Apple Pay or Android Pay, a fingerprint can buy a bag of groceries, a new laptop or even a $1 million vintage Aston Martin. And pressing a finger inside a banking app allows the user to pay bills or transfer thousands of dollars.

While such wizardry is convenient, it has also left a gaping security hole.

President Trump on Tuesday said North Korea “is looking for trouble” and vowed to get the murderous regime of dictator Kim Jong-Un under control with or without China’s help.

Trump sent the warning in a pair of tweets just days after he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping. China traditionally has acted as a counterweight on North Korea, helping to moderate some actions of the isolated country. Trump indicated a favorable trade deal could await China if they stepped up pressure on North Korea; however, Trump also appeared ready to reign in the provocative nation on his own.   Continue reading “Trump warns China on North Korea: Help solve the problem or ‘we will’”

A fleet of North Korean cargo ships is heading home to the port of Nampo, the majority of it fully laden, after China ordered its trading companies to return coal from the isolated country, shipping data shows.

Following repeated missile tests that drew international criticism, China banned all imports of North Korean coal on Feb. 26, cutting off the country’s most important export product.

The CIA backed a right-wing coup in Syria in 1949, a mere 3 years after Syria became an independent country.

Clark University History professor Douglas Little notes:

Recently declassified records… confirm that beginning on November 30, 1948, [CIA operative Stephen] Meade met secretly with Colonel Zaim at least six times to discuss the “possibility [of an] army supported dictatorship.” [“Cold War and Covert Action: The United States and Syria, 1945-1958,” Middle East Journal, Winter 1990, p. 55] Continue reading “Trump’s Bombing of Syria: Continuation of a Policy Which Started Only 3 Years After Syria Became an Independent Nation … When Trump Was 2 Years Old”

Washington, 10 April (Argus) — President Donald Trump’s attempts to impose a “Buy American” policy for oil and gas pipelines is worrying energy companies that say it could delay the very infrastructure the administration is trying to support.

US midstream company Energy Transfer Partners says the policy would “severely delay project schedules” and reduce pipeline quality. Magnolia LNG, which is considering building a $4.5bn gas export facility in Louisiana, says it has created uncertainty that could slow final investments. And an energy industry coalition is warning of long construction delays and project cancellations.   Continue reading “Oil, gas industry concerned over requirement to buy American steel, pipe”

A pink moon is heading our way Tuesday – but those expecting to see a literal pink sphere sailing above us in the sky may be disappointed.

Any full moon that occurs in April is called a ‘Pink Moon’ simply because of the pink flowers, such as North America’s wild ground phlox, which blossom in April and are seen to symbolize new beginnings.   Continue reading “2017’s ‘Pink Moon’: Here’s what it means”

SALEM, Ore. (AP) – Oregon state lawmakers have given final approval to a bill that would shield the names, birthdates and other identifying information of marijuana users from being accessed by federal drug agents amid worries of heightened enforcement.

The bill was approved 53-5 by the Oregon House on Monday and is largely in response to mixed signals about the new White House administration’s stance on the federal marijuana prohibition.   Continue reading “Oregon set to shield marijuana user data from US officials”

Driveway taxes are no longer legal in Kansas following Friday’s state Supreme Court ruling. The “transportation user fee” has become popular revenue-raising tool for municipal politicians nationwide, boosting property tax bills for all homes and businesses with driveway access to city streets.

In Oregon, for example, dozens of cities adopted the fee as a way of bypassing Measure 5 limits on property taxes. City leaders find the fee easier to implement than increasing sales taxes or other steps that typically requires voter approval.   Continue reading “Kansas Supreme Court Strikes Down Driveway Taxes”

Seoul (AFP) – North Korea denounced the US deployment of a naval strike group to the region Tuesday, warning it is ready for “war” as Washington tightens the screws on the nuclear-armed state.

The strike group — which includes the Nimitz-class aircraft supercarrier USS Carl Vinson — cancelled a planned trip to Australia this weekend, heading to the Korean peninsula instead in a show of force.   Continue reading “North Korea vows response to ‘reckless’ US Navy move”

World Events and the Bible

WEB Notes: They just keep spelling it out for everyone and there is no resistance in the mainstream media which of course is the mouth piece for the government. The US government keeps repeating the lie that Assad used chemical weapons against his own people. I find it interesting how this was the reason to attack Assad in 2013 and of course that narrative fell a part. Then we saw a massive escalation in terrorism in Syria. So the US government which is controlled by the children of Satan shifted policies. It did not seem possible after the debacle of 2013 when their case against Assad using chemical weapons fell a part that they would ever use that narrative again, but here we are. Of course, the UN came into Syria and not only removed all of the chemical weapons, but decommissioned any facilities that could be used to create chemical weapons. It goes to show how easily they can pull the wool over everyone’s eyes.
