China has said it carried out a combat air patrol over contested islands in the South China Sea. In a separate incident, roughly 230 Chinese fishing vessels and Coast Guard ships were spotted near East China Sea islets, triggering an angry response from Japan.
Several Chinese aircraft, including H-6K long-range bombers and Su-30 fighter jets, went on patrol over two contested islands in the South China Sea, Senior Colonel Shen Jinke, a spokesperson for the Air Force said on Saturday, according to the Xinhua news agency.
The warplanes were escorted by Airborne Early Warning Aircraft (AWACS) and flying tankers, which were part of “actual combat training to improve the Air Force's response to security threats,” the Air Force said.
The patrols included “air defense early warning maneuvers, air combat and island patrolling, in a complicated electromagnetic environment,” the Xinhua report said without elaborating on when the mission took place.
On Friday, roughly 230 Chinese fishing vessels and Coast Guard ships passed by the Japanese-controlled islands of Senkaku in the East China Sea. The islands are called Diaoyu in China.
Japan’s Foreign Ministry said the action was a unilateral escalation of tensions and demanded the Chinese Coast Guard vessels leave the area immediately.
“This is a unilateral act that raises tensions … and it is unacceptable to us,” Kenji Kanasugi, from the Japanese foreign ministry said, according to the Kyodo news agency.
Tensions between China and neighboring countries are running high in the region. China, Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam all have territorial claims in the South China Sea, with the US insisting on what it calls freedom of navigation patrols close to Chinese-controlled islands.
China's air force sent bombers and fighter jets on "combat patrols" near contested islands in the South China Sea, in a move a senior colonel said was part of an effort to normalize such drills and respond to security threats.
The exercises come at a time of heightened tension in the disputed waters after an arbitration court in The Hague ruled last month that China did not have historic rights to the South China Sea.
The air force sent several H-6 bombers and Su-30 fighter jets to inspect the airspace around the Spratly Islands and Scarborough Shoal, Senior Colonel Shen Jinke of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force said, according to state news agency Xinhua.
The patrols included surveillance and refueling aircraft, Xinhua said, although it did not say when they occurred.
China has refused to recognize the ruling by an arbitration court in The Hague that invalidated its vast territorial claims in the South China Sea and did not take part in the proceedings brought by the Philippines.
Beijing has reacted angrily to calls by Western countries and Japan for the decision to be adhered to and has released pictures of aircraft flying over the shoal since the ruling.
China has repeatedly blamed the United States for stoking tension through its military patrols in the South China Sea, a strategic waterway through which more than $5 trillion of trade moves annually.
A secret agreement, obtained by the Associated Press, reveal that Iran’s nuclear deal would not only lift constraints on Iran’s nuclear program after the nuclear deal, but it will also do so before the deal expires as it makes it easier for Iran to achieve its nuclear ambitions.
According to the secret agreement, the deal would pave the way for Iranian leaders to advance their nuclear capabilities at a higher level and even be capable of reducing the break out capacity from one year to six months long before the nuclear agreement ends.
The Obama administration has not made this document public yet. A diplomatwho works on Iran’s nuclear program shared the secret document with The Associated Press. He asked for anonymity since he was not allowed to release the documents. “The diplomat who shared the document with the AP described it as an add-on agreement to the nuclear deal. But while formally separate from that accord, he said that it was in effect an integral part of the deal and had been approved both by Iran and the US, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany, the six powers that negotiated the deal with Tehran.”
This document suggests that Iran can install thousands of centrifuges, five times more than what it posses currently, as well enrich uranium at much higher pace, long before the agreement expires.
The Associated Press adds: “The document also allows Iran to greatly expand its work with centrifuges that are even more advanced, including large-scale testing in preparation for the deal’s expiry 15 years after its implementation on Jan. 18.... The document is the only secret text linked to last year’s agreement between Iran and six foreign powers. It says that after a period between 11 to 13 years, Iran can replace its 5,060 inefficient centrifuges with up to 3,500 advanced machines. Since those are five times as efficient, the time Iran would need to make a weapon would drop from a year to six months.”
The good news for the Iranian government is that it is becoming financially and economically more powerful in the meantime, thanks to the tens of billions of dollars released to Tehran, and thanks to the lifting of four rounds of UN Security Council’s sanctions that allows the Iranian regime and Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IEGC) to sell oil and do business freely in the international market.
The secret agreement highlights the fact that significant restraints on Iran’s nuclear program will be lifted before the expiration of the nuclear deal and it would shockingly allow Iran to install more advanced nuclear components than it ever possessed, which would “legally” and much more easily allow Iranian leaders to obtain nuclear weapons if they chose to do so.
A new video has appeared online that shows a Palestinian father shoving his 4-year-old son toward Israeli border patrol members, and encouraging them to shoot him.
The images have shaken Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “to the core of my being,” and he is now pleading, also in an online video for “every father and mother around the world. I ask you to join me in calling for an end to this abuse of children.”
“The Palestinian leadership must stop encouraging children to kill. They must stop encouraging Palestinian parents to call for the death of their own children,” he said. “It’s horrendous! Peace begins with respect. If parents don’t respect their own children’s lives, how will they respect the lives of their neighbors?”
First, the video of father.
“Shoot him! Shoot him!” the father shouts, according to reports.
Israel Today described it: “A Palestinian father sends his toddler to throw rocks at Israeli soldiers and tells them to shoot him, saying he has another son as well. The soldiers treat the child with far more compassion than his abusive father.
“Instead, the soldier responded with kindness, and the oblivious toddler instead threw stones into the nearby field. The exchange epitomized perfectly the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Most Israelis just want peace, while far too many Palestinians have been brainwashed into believing the Jews are enemies that must be violently confronted.”
And Netanyahu’s response:
“A Palestinian father holds up his 4-year-old son. He pleads with Israeli border police to kill his own child. He shouts, ‘Shoot this little boy!’ His boy. He pushes his young son forward toward the soldiers and screams, ‘Kill him! Shoot him!’ The boy pauses. He is scared. Any child would be,” Netanyahu said.
“He turns back, looking at his father for guidance. With his shirt tightly tucked into his bright red shorts, the boy ambles forward towards the soldiers. One of them extends his hand in friendship. The boy gives him a high-five.
“It’s hard to make a four-year-old hate.”
Netanyahu explained, “Sadly, this father’s crime is not an isolated example. In Gaza, Hamas runs summer camps that teach children to value death over life – suicide kindergarten camps. The Palestinian Ministry of Education in Ramallah recently organized an event for students to honor terrorists who murdered three civilians. Two weeks ago, the Palestinian Authority’s official newspaper praised teenage terrorists and wrote that ‘death as a martyr is the path to excellence and greatness.’ That’s a direct quote,” he said.
“Palestinian and Israeli children deserve better. They deserve to live. They deserve to live in peace,” he said.
Four-hundred million dollars worth of unmarked Swiss Francs arrive on a charter plane in the dead of night on January 17, 2016 at Iran’s Mehrabad Airport.
After the money is unloaded, counted and processed, Iran releases, Pastor Saeed Abedini, a convertfrom Islam who was serving an eight-year prison term for “crimes against national security”; Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian and former U.S. Marine Amir Hekmati, both convicted of espionage and in the latter case at one stage sentenced to death; researcher Matthew Trevithick; and an Iranian-American named as Nosratollah Khosravi-Roodsari.
Can it get any more sinister?
All you needed was Max von Sydow, in his famous role as Jobert, sporting a tweed hat and tinted glasses, to disembark from the plane with instructions for the mullahs.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that this was indeed a ransom pay off from the US government to the Iranians.
Of course the administration rolled out its go to liars this week: Josh Earnest, John Kirby and the Secretary of Dishonesty, Mrs. Clinton, who all defended the payment as nothing more than the 400 million we owed the Iranians from 1979. We were merely paying it back to them, in the dead of night, in unmarked bills, delivered on a charter plane that just happened to coincide with the release of four American “guests” in Iran.
Uh huh…
Family members of murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich have asked the public to help them find their son’s killer, four weeks into a failed police investigation
Seth Rich, 27, died in July from after being shot near his home in Washington D.C. shortly after he blew the whistle on election fraud within the Democratic Party.
Officers with the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) joined the family of Seth Rich, 27, who died July 10 from gunshot wounds walking to his home in northwest D.C., in a press conference Thursday. The Rich family requested that people come forward with any information that may lead to an arrest of the killer, reports WJLA.
“I ask you please if you know anything, heard anything, just come forward and talk to the police … particularly if you know of anyone that looked like they’d been in a fight,” Mary Rich, Seth’s mother, said at the press conference. “Let’s get this person off the street. And therefore my son can rest in peace, and your neighborhood can be safer.”
Rich, a resident from northwest D.C., was the voter expansion data director for the DNC and served there for more than two years. Officers on patrol with the MPD responded July 10 at 4:19 a.m. to sounds of gunfire in Bloomingdales on the 2100 block of Flagler Place. Police found Rich conscious and breathing with multiple gunshot wounds.
While the Russians build a new Eurasia, the European Union undergoes a process of dissolution that no one would have predicted a year ago. But American voters cannot be allowed to know that, for then they might question the money being spent on NATO exercises along Russia’s European borders, from the Baltic to the Black Sea. So far Donald Trump, who knows very little about foreign policy, is the only one to see that this courts disaster.
The United States has been caught many times indulging in false flag operations, one being the 1898 destruction of the destroyer Maine in Havana harbor, a pretext for the Spanish-American war that brought Cuba under US management for half a century. More recently, the ‘Tonkin Gulf incident’ was Johnson’s legal justification for commencing open warfare against North Vietnam. Current false flags consist of organizing ‘color revolutions’ to demand ‘more democracy’ when rulers do not comply with Washington’s wishes, as in Ukraine. Other anti-Russian false flags consist of doping its athletes in order to bar them from international sporting events – or hacking Hillary Clinton’s emails, then claiming the Russians did it.
In 1997, national security advisor Zbignieuw Brzezinski published a book entitled “The Grand Chessboard”, whose thesis is that the US must never allow any country to challenge its status as world hegemon. Zbig recommended starting with regime change in Ukraine and Georgia, then carving Russia proper into a dozen smaller entities under local leaders obedient to America’s globalization project.
As the US moves into the final months of the presidential campaign, the Washington beltway can be expected to indulge in more false flag operations against Russia, in order to prepare the American public for Hillary’s implementation of Zbig’s program. Until relatively recently, interference in the domestic affairs of another country was broadly recognized as unacceptable, but in the last decade it has been referred to so casually as ‘regime change’ that ‘good Americans’ do not think to question it.
Concomitantly, Donald Trump’s remark that he would rather be friends with Russia and China is labelled as treason, and ‘good Americans’ do not even realize that the definition is inaccurate, so well have they been trained to accept anything negative regarding Russia that anyone says.
In the following video, Putin reveals exactly why he cannot stand Barack Obama, and why it is clearly not in Russia’s best interests (or anyone else on the planet’s for that matter), for Hillary Clinton to become the next President of the United States. When referring to specific Obama/Clinton policy decisions that led directly to large boost in recruitment for ISIS (no, it wasn't a Donald Trump video as Hillary likes to say), Putin says:
"I consider this absolutely unprofessional politics… [their acts] are not grounded in facts in the real world."
For the most part, the sum total of what the majority of Americans know about Putin, we get largely from whatever our dishonest and corrupt mainstream media tells us. We also know the mainstream media is owned and controlled primarily by globalists (who hate Putin), and that they function as more of a propaganda arm for the Democrat Party, than they do as actual credible news sources.
With that said, puttnig aside any preconceived narratives you've been fed by the mainstream media about Putin, does it sound like he’s lying, or does it sound like he’s talking about the EXACT same Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton we all know? Typical liberals… off in fantasy land instead of reality.
Referring to U.S. foreign policy, our economic policies, and our military activity, Putin says the U.S. leaders have GOT to stop ‘squeezing’ other nations for America's own benefit, and have some respect for people around the world other than just Americans. Citing specific Obama/Clinton failures, Putin says:
"Look at Iraq. The situation is TERRIBLE!
Look at Libya and what you did there… that got your Ambassador murdered.
Was it us that did this?
This wasn’t the the smartest decision, but ok…"
This is just the beginning… Putin is just getting warmed up…
If our mainstream media is so honest, why isn’t anyone talking about the 67 former Clinton associates turned adversaries who are now DEAD, five of whom died under very mysterious circumstances in the last six weeks alone? Why isn’t anyone in the media talking about the NSA whistleblower who said the NSA has every single one of the 30,000 deleted Hillary Clinton emails, and no one from the FBI or Department of Injustice has ever asked for them? Why does the media keep going along with the nonsense about an economic recovery when every economist worth their salt is saying we’re on the doorstep of financial Armageddon?
In the video below, Putin tells a very different story than the one Western media has reported about what happened in Crimea. In fact, he becomes quite angry when asked about it by German reporters. Putin says that contrary to western media reports, there was no “invasion” of Crimea, there were no gunshots ever fired, and not one person died during events in Crimea… not one. He says the people of Crimea held their own referendum, and they chose to leave Ukraine, and become part of the Russian Federation.
Like before, Putin says the leaders of the United States need to learn to respect the interests of others, and not go changing the rules whenever it suits them. Diplomacy is the art of being able to reconcile your national interests, alongside those of other States, compromising on certain aspects along the way. However, Putin points out that the Atlanticist world view (EU/US/NATO) has shown that it does not allow for mutual respect, nor for cooperation. Through a number of covert means, the west asks for nothing less than for Russia to no longer ascertain its national interests, which makes President Putin #1 Boogeyman in the western media today. When asked if he is a friend to the West, Putin says:
No matter what nonsense our media chooses to cover, or to just make up as they go, in the next video from June 17th, you can see Vladimir Putin's frustration as he tries to warn western reporters that the world is being pulled toward war… and it’s Western leaders that are doing it, not him. He literally makes fun of the press to their faces for reporting the fictional narratives they are told to report, rather than reality (there's that word again). Putin says:
“We know year by year what’s going to happen, and they know that we know. It’s only you that they tell tall tales to, and you buy it, and spread it to the citizens of your countries. Your people in turn do not feel a sense of the impending danger – this is what worries me. How do you not understand that the world is being pulled in an irreversible direction?"
Finally, out of complete frustration Putin says:
"I don’t know how to get through to you anymore…”

That 400 million is probably what Iran lost due to the US imposed sanctions. I'm sure Obama kept assuring them the whole time, that he would make sure they got reimbursed, and here it is. Now the Ayatollah is hinting that the US has defaulted on the nuclear agreement, and they will more than likely withdrawal from their end of the deal. Not that they have ever had any intention of keeping it. The centerfuges has continued to spin, enriching uranium. When they get what they need to level Israel, the real fun will begin. There have been a lot of distractions along the way. From Bengazi, black lives matter, RNC, DNC, Zikka, protests, olympics, ect. I believe the real trigger to come for the prophetic calendar to be propelled into hyperspace will be Iran, obtaining weapons grade uranium.
There are things set in motion right now that can't be explained, or reasoned. What would you think if You learned that NATO forces were actively training with US law enforcement right now? What are your thoughts on that? Would that lead you to believe we are close to a tipping point? How much are Christians to endure before the rapture of the church?
Think about this. Are we as Christians ready to take a stand for God? If your retirement, medical treatment, food purchasing, fuel purchasing, receiving a paycheck depended upon taking the mark, chip, or whatever be the method, would you do it? Are you ready to lose your home, land, and liberties for refusing to comply? Maybe it won't come to this, but what if it does? Just food for thought, maybe we will be here just long enough to endure some of this, I don't know, I'm just thinking out loud. Things are occurring that can only be connected with civil unrest, and chaos. Are we prepared today, to say, I don't care what it costs, I will stand for God? I believe those left behind will suffer greatly. We have prepared our hearts for everlasting life. We should also prepare our minds for what MAY come until we are called home. Just my thoughts.
