The Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) is reporting today that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has successfully targeted one of the largest terror networks that nation has ever encountered after their leader, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, was personally warned by President Putin last month that unless the Saudi’s took action against the American-Islamic State terror “monstrosity” that has been spreading chaos throughout the Levant War Zone was stopped, their country would be facing a soon to come “day of wrath” from the Federation. According to this report, early last month the Federation was “approached/contacted” by Saudi minister of foreign affairs, Adel al-Jubeir, on behalf of King Saud stating that the Kingdom wanted to improve their relations with Russia—and who publically stated: “Russia is a great power. Russia has 20 million Muslims living in it. Russia can play a positive role and we wanted to engage with Russia, we wanted to improve our relationship with Russia not at the expense of our relationship with any other country but for the sake of having better ties with Russia.” In replying to this overture from King Saud, this report continues, President Putin made known to the Kingdom that the Federations “finite patience” regarding the Saudi governments complicity with the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) infunding and arming Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/Daesh) terrorists operating in both Syria and Iraq was coming to an end, thus prompting his “day of wrath” warning to them. In an attempt to gauge the seriousness of the Kingdom’s aim to confront the CIA about their Islamic State ties, this report notes, President Putin, also, signed an order authorizing the SVR to communicate with Saudi Arabia’s main intelligence agency, General Intelligence Presidency (GIP), regarding the known locations of these terrorists, and their American handlers, in the Kingdom. Within the past 24 hours, this report continues, the GIP communicated to the SVR that based upon the Federation intelligence given to them under President Putin’s order, this known CIA-Islamic State terror network operating in Saudi Arabia was “targeted/raided” resulting in the capture of 33 of its members, 9 more still being hunted with substantial rewards announced for their capture, and, most importantly, the 9 American citizen CIA agents controlling these terrorist being placed under arrest and jailed. With US officials having told Reuters News Service just hours ago that the Obama regime cannot immediately confirm that American citizens are among the 33 Islamic State terror suspects jailed by the GIP as they were still checking the names against their databases, this report further notes, it is the “known and accepted” practice of the CIA to never divulge the identity of their captured agents as they prefer to secretly negotiate for their release. Spurring Saudi Arabia’s “radical” breaking with the Obama regime and jailing these 9 American CIA agents supporting Islamic State terrorists, this report explains, was a SVR “counter-propaganda” action last week following President Putin’s “day of wrath” warning against them involving the release to the BBC of a secret United Nations report stating that the Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthi rebel movement in Yemen has targeted civilians with air strikes in a “widespread and systematic” manner and that they were deliberately using starvation as a war tactic—all of which, according to this secret UN report, constitute “crimes against humanity”. And aside from the Saudi’s jailing these 9 American CIA agents, this report says, the SVR’s “counter-propaganda” action against them in releasing this secret UN document has had a further benefit in forcing the Kingdom to promise changes to their airstrike targeting, expressing “great regret” for the civilian toll, and state that US and British military experts will now be advising them on how to get the civilian toll down. But to the greatest fears of Saudi Arabia in regards to President Putin’s “day of wrath” warning, this report concludes, are the currently ongoing meetings in the Kremlinwith Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s top adviser on international affairs, Ali Akbar Velayati, regarding both Federation and Iranian oil productions quotas—which should they combine would severely undercut the Saudi’s positionwhich is driving that Kingdom to brink of economic collapse.

Billionaire presidential candidate Donald Trump is commanding a strong lead in the latest Iowa polls, but will he have the momentum to become the Republican nominee? Infowars reporter Richard Reeves is on the ground in Iowa gauging the public’s reaction to the laundry list of candidates. At a rally yesterday, Republican front-runner Donald Trump sent a shot down the bow of Neocons who want endless war. Establishment candidates such as Jeb, Hillary, and Obama have proven their ineptitude regarding effective combat and have failed to secure victory causing further destabilization in the Middle East. Amid his speech, Trump also called for supporters to allow their children to tour his Boeing 757 private passenger jet. Trump’s message evidently resounded with many people. One woman told Reeves she was undecided right up until she had seen Trump speak, but that his confidence and strong presence won her over. Other Iowans who attended the rally also felt Trump had proven himself to be the anti-establishment candidate. Source |

The European Council President Donald Tusk has agreed that Britain meets the requirement that will allow London to curb in-work benefit payments to EU migrants, the Downing Street spokesperson said. UK Prime Minister David Cameron is seeking to renegotiate his country’s EU membership. Brussels said earlier it was mulling a four-year “emergency brake” on benefits to new EU migrants – but only if London proves that the UK welfare system is under excessive strain. “On welfare, the Commission has tabled a text making clear that the UK’s current circumstances meet the criteria for triggering the emergency brake,” Cameron’s spokesperson said in a press release. “This is a significant breakthrough, meaning the Prime Minister can deliver on his commitment to restrict in-work benefits to EU migrants for four years,” the statement continued. Earlier, UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said stated that UK plan to limit work benefits for EU migrants is an attempt to curb the bloc’s interference in British everyday life. UK main goals are to decrease migration within the European Union and show that “EU intervention in our national life” has passed the “high water mark,” Hammond said after visiting all EU member states to canvas support for the United Kingdom’s renegotiation of its EU membership, as quoted by The Telegraph.

Prior to the mass invasion of Europe, liberals controlled debate by means of crude stop-words (bigot, racist, etc.) or accusations of a lack of compassion (with themselves as the arbiters of compassion, naturally). But there is a sea change occurring. Europeans – terrified though they are of being thought anything but good, kind and orthodox, no matter their private opinion – are now afraid of something else. They can see that the liberal doctrine of obeisance before each and every outsider in which they have been schooled – if left unchecked – is going to leave them interlopers in the lands their fathers died defending. That which men capable of independent thought understood intellectually decades ago, men less so well endowed, finally, understand viscerally. They have woken up and smelled the agenda: the ship has an iceberg embedded in the hull; and it was Political Correctness – or Cultural Marxism – which put it there. And this shift has made the job of self-appointed social gatekeepers – from well-heeled, well-lunched, first-tier think tanks all the way down to third-rate, bottom-feeding trolls sniping anonymously from behind fictitious names and pretend honors for minimum wage – more difficult. Whereas previously, Europeans could be kept on-message with the project of their own demise with nothing sterner than a set of Thaler and Sunstein nudges and a palette of meaningless and generally incorrect epithets, the populations of Europe are beginning to get it: either we put grown-ups back in charge of the ship, or it is going down. Sea change I don’t do party politics, so I’m not backing Cameron here. But he said a thing which I thought was significant. He recently berated Labour – the ostensible opposition – in the House of Commons for offering to return the right of flying pickets to the unions, to give away the Falklands to the Argentians, and for inviting ‘a bunch of migrants’ in Calais to Britain. Naturally, he was jumped on by the liberal press – and Cameron knows the script, and he will not deviate from it. His comments were a standard three-point punch: unions, Falklands, migrants. He was not delivering an off-the-cuff remark. Those lines will have been debated for hours, and he was revealing a declaration of policy – at least at the level of theatre – in order to play to a growing sentiment which is that capitulation as policy and inclusion as strategy is cultural, national and – dare I say it – racial suicide. And despite all the education and entertainment of the last fifty years, a sizable number of people is still not ready to embrace and celebrate that eventuality quite yet. People see that right across Europe there are cities where women may no longer walk safely, because their governments have allowed an invading army – out of ‘compassion’ – to occupy their homeland. And they now sense that it was the control on free speech by the liberal thought police which brought us to this impasse. And while they still suffer from the trained reflex to want to be normal and liked and thought good, they don’t want their wives and daughters raped while the police do nothing for fear of being seen as racist. Tolerance as social control No country has been as susceptible to falling abjectly before the liberal’s compassion-and-goodness card as the Germans. Since they lost the war, they didn’t get to write the history. And that history – one crafted by the victors – is forced down their throats from birth. But even in Germany, people have had enough. Sky News reports that 40 percent of Germans want Merkel out over her immigration policy. We can take it as read that at least that number want their country back. The same article has a video of an interview with Markus Schnapka, a member of the Bornheim Social Services Department. Mr Schnapka thinks that the inconvenient wrinkles in the liberal self-extermination policy can be ironed out if one simply explains nicely to the invading culture that masturbating and sexually assaulting women in swimming pools is not okay. But then he would think that. His entire world view is based on the assumption that all it takes for one to become as big a fool as he is is a few therapy sessions and a box of Kleenex. The invading army of young men, meanwhile, is looking to do what all invading armies do: spread its seed among the females of the defeated tribe. Blowback Sweden, rather spectacularly, looked set to send back 80,000 illegal occupiers of its country. But this last-ditch attempt at national survival will likely prove to be little more than PR designed to manage the increasingly restless Swedes who are all compassioned out. The article (from the Guardian) originally said that the Swedish authorities claimed it would take “several years” to eject the immigrants, but later updated the article with that part removed. The Netherlands have floated an idea to send immigrants reaching Greece directly to Turkey. Turkey currently has 2 million Syrian refugees – and most of those coming to Europe are economic migrants, not Syrian refugees. Meanwhile, Greece has been berated in a report by the European Commission which claims it has “seriously neglected” its obligations in controlling the external border of the EU space. Greece has been given three months to rectify the situation. Clearly, this is all nonsense. European countries have warships with guns. Given any real intention to defend the EU, invading vessels would be treated as such and the entire problem would be put to bed in an afternoon. But what is interesting is the change in vocabulary. Any deviation from the enforced language of ‘compassion’ is now no longer verboten. Compassion I agree with the liberals on one thing: I also wish everyone were lovely and wanted to have a big hug together and live in harmony while respecting each other’s differences. It sounds lovely. For me, it’s right up there with Father Christmas coming down the chimney with presents and Peter Pan, Tinker Bell and fairy dust – especially, given that the rest of the time our tax money is paying to bomb countries into compliance with the new international order. Unlike liberals, I understand that such stories are just that: stories. There is this unpleasant thing called Reality. And while the culturally emasculated liberals in Europe have had their natural drives overridden by well-sounding but pernicious indoctrination, the invading army of ‘migrants’ has been eating Reality for breakfast, lunch and supper. This army of young men knows exactly what’s going on, even if the squeamish and effeminate Europeans do not. ‘Compassion’ and ‘tolerance’ like ‘freedom’ are slogans. Devoid of context, they are simply weapons which can be used to achieve pre-determined ends. And while those who are stupid enough to repeat them without having considered those ends have no idea what the result will be, those who were intelligent enough to craft them and promote them know exactly where they will lead. The rational among us have been kept in check since the roll-out of Cultural Marxism by stop-words such as ‘bigot’ and accusations of a lack of ‘compassion’. But now the liberal’s chickens have come here to roost, standing up to unbridled ‘compassion’ is not just a matter of common sense. It is a matter of survival. Cracks beginning to appear We can always find people to find compassion for. How about some for our daughters or wives? Krisztina Morvai, Hungary’s representative at the Committee of Women’s Rights and Gender Equality at the European Parliament, Strasbourg, made exactly this case, and was shot down – almost by reflex – as ‘racist’ by Mary Honeyball, Member of the European Parliament. Despite the predictable attempt to close down the debate and brand Morvai evil, it is significant that a forum as uniformly orthodox as the Committee of Women’s Rights and Gender Equality should demonstrate such cracks in its foundational assumptions. As education has been systematically dumbed down, it has become easier to sell the tax slaves policies inimitable to their cultural interests, since people have been divested of the tools needed to think logically. As long as visceral responses were properly anchored and triggered, the agenda could move along. Claims of – and appeals to – ‘compassion’ combined with accusations of bigotry or worse for those who did not conform to predetermined definitions of the same is how the liberal has dominated the debate thus far. Now this process has hit a fundamental crossroads: the clash between gushy, emotive indoctrination and the fundamental requirement to survive. Now not every voice of dissent or reason can be quelled with the CRB (compassion-racist-bigot) card. There are literally billions of people in the world who want to live in Europe. A line will have to be drawn if Europe is not to resemble the countries the ‘migrants’ come from. And it is compassion – one which is founded in reality – which will have to draw that line. Source |

Planet 2MASS J2126, which was considered an independent space body, moves in orbit around the star about one trillion kilometers far from the planet, the Royal Astronomical Society said. A team of astronomers from the UK, the US and Australia described their discovery in “Monthly Notices” journal of the Royal Astronomical Society. Scientists discovered the planet as a separate body eight years ago, although they did not think that the planet was orbiting a star. Astronomers believed that planet 2MASS J2126 was a space outcast that was traveling in the universe all by itself. At some point, the astronomers discovered that 2MASS J2126 was orbiting a distant red dwarf star called TYC 9486-927-1. The distance between the planet and the star is 7,000 times larger than between the Earth and the Sun. The planet orbits the star in almost one million earthly years. The new solar system is almost three times larger than the previously known biggest distance between a planet and a host star, Simon Murphy of the Australian National University said. Source |

On Wednesday the Bernie Sanders campaign said it is concerned software giant Microsoft will tamper with caucus election vote tallies in Iowa next week. Microsoft has partnered with both establishment parties and will provide a “mobile-enabled, cloud-based platform that will facilitate accuracy and efficiency of the reporting process,” according to its website. Under the new system, each Iowa political party will have their own app available on all mobile and PC platforms, which will support the party’s unique caucus voting process. The reporting apps may be used in every precinct in Iowa by both parties. The results will be securely stored and managed in Microsoft’s Azure cloud computing platform. “You’d have to ask yourself why they’d want to give something like that away for free,” said Pete D’Alessandro, who is heading up the Sanders campaign in Iowa. Both the Sanders and Clinton campaigns have built reporting systems based on the Microsoft app. In addition to taking money in the past from Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and George Soros, Clinton has connections to Microsoft through Mark Penn, a former top advisor to both Bill and Hilary Clinton. Penn was Hillary’s “pollster, chief strategist and message guru all wrapped into one,” according to Politico. In 2012, he was named Corporate Vice President for Strategic and Special Projects at Microsoft. Penn was behind Microsoft’s award-winning Super Bowl 2014 ad “Empowering Us All” and the corporation’s “Celebrating the Heroic Women of 2013.” Last September the Clinton Global Initiative used Microsoft’s audience engagement technology Bing Pulse to gauge audience feedback in real-time during CNBC’s interview with President Bill Clinton. The former president also keynoted the Microsoft SharePoint Conference in Las Vegas in March, 2014 and was interviewed by Wired magazine alongside Microsoft founder Bill Gates in 2013. Establishment Will Pull Out All Stops to Beat Sanders and Trump The establishment is in disarray over the presidential campaigns of Sanders and Donald Trump. “With ever-growing hysteria, the Establishment is begging, cajoling and warning American voters not to elect a rogue President from the Right or the Left, neither Donald Trump nor Bernie Sanders, but to accept instead one of the ‘sane’ mainstream options. Yet, the unspoken truth is that the American Establishment has been off its rocker for decades,” writes Robert Parry. The establishment’s derailment of the Ron Paul campaign demonstrates it will take drastic measures to distort primary results. Going into Iowa, Ron Paul held a lead over the other Republican candidates. In response the Iowa GOP changed the final vote count to a secret location and results from 8 precincts—including results from colleges in a state where Paul won 48% of the youth vote—put Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum in the lead. Rule changes and similar tactics were used in the early primary states of Nevada and Florida to defeat Paul. Activist Bev Harris and others have demonstrated how black box voting is used to flip votes and rig the election process. “We now know that the machines that they’re making that count the votes are not secure from tampering. And add to that, we’ve got a situation where everything inside the machines is secret, we’re not allowed the see how they count the votes. So this is not an acceptable situation,” Harris said back in 2003 when the first Diebold electronic voting machines were rolled out. During the globalist confab in Davos, Switzerland, the elite expressed their consternation at the prospect of a Donald Trump victory. Harvard University’s Niall Ferguson said Trump’s chances “could be over before Super Tuesday,” and that populists never win the presidency, but that the public is “mad as hell” and this is what’s driving the Trump phenomenon. Meanwhile, the GOP is working to take down Trump, preferably before the primaries. According to columnist Ann Coulter, the establishment may cook up a scandal that will be floated before the primaries to take the edge off Trump’s commanding lead. “Look for a fake Trump scandal to break—probably from a conservative news outlet—right before the Iowa caucus,” she wrote on January 20. Despite the frantic effort to derail the Trump campaign—and that of alleged outsider Ted Cruz as well—some believe Hillary Clinton will win the election regardless of Republican challenge or the email scandal and the Benghazi imbroglio. In the end, Democrats will abandon Sanders and line up behind Clinton. “It doesn’t matter who the Republicans put up… Hillary will win,” the highly influential CEO of WPP PLC (Wire and Plastic Products), Martin Sorrell, told DC Whispers on January 24. Fraud at the polls and manipulated poll results in Iowa may help, but in the final wash it will be Hillary because of the fear level of a Republican victory. The Democrat establishment has mastered the art of fear, hysteria and stampeding the rank and file. The New York Times reports “the Sanders surge is about to hit a wall: the rank and file of the Democratic primary electorate… Nearly half of the Democratic primary electorate is moderate or even conservative” and deathly afraid of a Republican victory despite the obvious fact there is little difference between the two sides of a domineering establishment party.
