Israel’s Defense Minister says Iran is on the brink of economic and military collapse, and that Israel will attack Tehran “and destroy every Iranian military outpost in Syria threatening Israel,” according to Arab-language publication Elaph and reported by Israeli media Thursday.
“They know that the Iranian regime is in its final days and will soon collapse,” said Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman, adding “If they attack Tel Aviv, we will attack Tehran.”
Liberman suggested Iran is vulnerable on two fronts, economic and military – and that an American withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal would significantly damage the regime’s economy during a period in which the Islamic Republic is devoting resources to a military build-up in Syria against the West.
“Iran is trying to establish bases in Syria and arm them with advanced weapons,” Lieberman said. “Every military outpost in Syria in which Iran seems to be trying to dig in militarily, we will destroy.”
Martin Sorrell, the powerful CEO who turned WPP into the world’s largest advertising and PR firm, has resigned after allegations of misconduct.
The misconduct reportedly involved misuse of company funds — though not at a level “material” to the massive organization — as well as “personal misconduct.”
WPP has completed its investigation into the allegations, but has not released any public details about what the allegations were, or whether they were substantiated. Sorrell has denied that the allegations have merit.
Sorrell “will be treated as having retired,” WPP says in a statement. The Guardian reports that Sorrell, 73, is due to receive in the neighborhood of £20 million ($28 million) as part of his exit.
4/7/2018 Heather: China was the MOST bankrupt “nation” prior to 2012-13 filings… let alone with the ledgerings that began 10-18-17, 9:01 a. m. , est…
Nothing is as it appears… “China” is very aware they could not survive any war, let alone start one… especially an “economic” one… i am grateful to “China” for chosing to “lose face” in order that all embrace and live heart.
We are in a moment of great change. If you have been keeping up with the Q Anon posts, the speed of the Earth Alliance operations has greatly picked up pace. I will caution that many of the followers of Q on 8Chan have a very simplistic view of what’s going on and tend to have a conservative vs liberal bias. Yet when you look at what has been done it has no political, religious, ethnic border. And its certainly not about Jews, as the New York Times is trying to paint it. That trite broad stroking of anything anti-Wall Street as antisemitism just doesn’t fly anymore. There just aren’t enough Jews in the world to even pull what has been done off. Think bigger. And frankly Jews deserve more respect than that kind of media manipulation of the public. Its not limited to any group. Its a planetary problem.
Conversely the pace of censorship by Google/YouTube, Facebook and Twitter under pressure of their “investors” and “advertisers” (ahem… CHINA INC). The big Internet giants, according to Q, are all using the same AI algorithm that was in the hands of Edward Snowden in China, to target free speech they don’t like. What exactly Snowden’s true role in all this is not exactly clear, double or triple agent or mole perhaps? It does appear he never went to Russia at all, and that was all a hoax and he has been hiding in Hong Kong. That story will come out in the wash.
BZ Riger had her web site I-UV.COM web site with all of Heather’s work scrubbed yesterday requiring a complete restoration from backup files. The IP addresses said Morocco but the attack spoke of a major state actor (most likely China which has always been behind and a partner of Morocco for centuries). Morocco just doesn’t have that kind of IT talent to do that kind of hack without assistance. The country can barely keep its internet services operating.
The controllers (eastern “Dragons” and their western proxy burnable villain “cabal” of Rothschilds/Rockefellers and associated families wanted Hillary to be the next President, as did their deep state assets that they spent decades cultivating. It was about disarming and slicing up America for profit. Loose immigration policies were not about humanitarian concern, but human trafficking as they ones behind the scenes got upwards of $60,000 per immigrant from the IMF, and had “NGOs” in that immigrant. “The American Experiment in Democracy” was always seen as threat to the old guard who controlled the planet. The 2nd Amendment made outside invasion impossible.
Hillary and Bill secretly gifted public U.S. lands to the Chinese, various national parks, the mineral rights to uranium under the Bundy Ranch and other BLM lands as “sovereign Chinese territory” and “free trade zones”. They also sold Uranium One to the Russians. The real estate take over has happened in Spain and Italy and other European countries as China begins colonizing Europe. The bankers know this. There are “free trade zones” in Italy that have huge dormitories of Chinese (with children) turning out designer hand bags so they can be sold as “Made in EU”.
When the Chinese refer to “interference in Chinese financial affairs” they are referring to a world they believe they own as a “divinely chosen people” of the gods. China calls itself “the kingdom of the divines” or “the middle kingdom” (the proxy of the divines) and they believe they “merit” the power to say who gets what on Earth. Yet they do not follow their own meritocracy rules and they know it.
Chinese Dragons are trying to save face, because they know what happens next. Everything they did is seen.
Yet what happens next is a win for them and all, even if they “lose face” temporarily becoming known with all their doings becoming known. They can’t simultaneously blame the Clinton’s and Rothschild’s when they were Adam Smith’s “unseen hand” as it were behind the financial system. They can’t have an RV/GCR and put the old gal into a new party dress and pretend they were not running the whole thing all along!
The recent clamp down of Julian Assange’s ability to communicate by Ecuador is brought about by pressure from China on Ecuador . China placed some very difficult financing contracts on Ecuador in the early 2000s. The reason we know that was Heather the banking lawyer working on a way to make Ecuador self-sufficient and independent and China undercut her work with the President there with side deals to various Ecuadorian politicians. China always has strings on its “investments” and is not shy about pulling them as it is now doing with Ecuador, Venezuela and other countries.
Sounds a lot like Hillary Clinton and the Deep State doesn’t it? That’s not an accident.
There’s a saying in banking, owe a little money, you worry. Owe a lot of money the bank worries. Who better knows that situation than Donald J. Trump and the corporate bankruptcies he’s been through? Who better to restructure what is essentially the greatest banking fraud ever seen perpetrated on the world in the secret bankruptcy of American in 1871?
If you want to understand the way Chinese strategy works, learn to play the game of “Go” and read Sun Tzu. Its about fencing in your opponents choices. The Chinese are very good at it. Patiently working at it for hundreds of years. They’ve infiltrated every agency, every institution, every judiciary on the planet. We in the west can’t conceive of such time scales of planning. But its a rather two dimensional game that doesn’t factor jumping over fences or conscious quantum tunneling through obstacles and seeming constraints in ways they never dreamed possible.
Heather Ann Tucci-Jarraf is doing doing very well. Honestly she’s handing her incarceration better than I and others supporting her are. How that situation exactly resolves I am not sure. This case began in China. We’ve seen first hand the Chinese and Federal Reserve corruption of the Judiciary so I don’t expect it gets resolved in the same way it happened. I expect something unusual, whether a pardon by Trump, military intervention, or some other unexpected event… we shall see. I would be surprised if her confinement last until her slated sentencing in June.
President Trump signed a proclamation Wednesday night to send the National Guard to the southern border immediately, a senior White House official told Fox News, in response to what the administration described as an “unacceptable” flow of drugs, criminal activity and illegal immigrants.
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said at the White House press briefing that the signing would be done in conjunction with governors and that the administration hoped the deployment would begin “immediately.”
“Despite a number of steps this administration has taken…we continue to see unacceptable levels of illegal drugs, dangerous gang activity transnational criminal organizations and illegal immigration flow across our border,” she said.
“The president has directed that the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security work together with our governors to deploy our National Guard to our southwest border to assist the border patrol,” she said. “The president will be signing a proclamation to that effect today.”
Details about what the National Guard would do and how many would be deployed and for how long were not immediately disclosed.
As if Facebook didn’t already collect enough information on its users, the company on Tuesday admitted it accidentally retained videos that had been deleted by its users, claiming that a glitch was responsible for storing the clips, according to New York.
The company apologized for the issue, and promised it would permanently delete all of the videos that were recorded by users, but never shared.
Users that have requested their data from Facebook have discovered that the company stored texts, messages, phone logs and other personal data for years.
If you granted permission to read contacts during Facebook’s installation on Android a few versions ago—specifically before Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean)—that permission also granted Facebook access to call and message logs by default. The permission structure was changed in the Android API in version 16. But Android applications could bypass this change if they were written to earlier versions of the API, so Facebook API could continue to gain access to call and SMS data by specifying an earlier Android SDK version. Google deprecated version 4.0 of the Android API in October 2017—the point at which the latest call metadata in Facebook users’ data was found. Apple iOS has never allowed silent access to call data. –Ars Technica
Update: If President Trump’s tweet was not enough, White House spokesperson Raj Shah has just confirmed that tax policies need to catch up to Amazon, and President Trump would support tax changes aimed at leveling the playing field, which now favors the online retailer as Amazon has advantage over brick and mortar stores.
“Right now, there is no Internet sales tax and as a result companies like Amazon can buy and sell goods without having to pay basic retail taxes,”

With John Dowd out, John Kelly and Ty Cobb marginalized, Joseph diGenova on board, and Marc Kasowitz possibly returning, the next battle comes into focus.
For the better part of the last month, Donald Trump has been winging it. His standoff with his chief of staff, John Kelly, appears to be resolved for the time being, with Trump having decided to return to the seat-of-the-pants decision-making that he believes won him the presidency. That doesn’t mean he has fully given up the idea of firing Kelly, though. One outside adviser to the White House said Trump has recently mulled the concept of creating a new West Wing structure without a chief of staff, one that would instead have four co-equal principals reporting directly to him. Trump seems to be loving his new freedom. “He was fucking excited and jubilant,” said one Trump friend who spoke to him in recent days. “He was like, everything’s great and these fuckers in the media are beside themselves.”
But Trump’s self-liberation comes at a dangerous moment, with special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation reaching closer and closer, stoking Trump’s impulses to go to war. Earlier this month, Mueller crossed one of Trump’s stated “red lines” when he subpoenaed Trump Organization business records. According to four Republicans in regular contact with the White House, the move spurred Trump to lose patience with his team of feuding lawyers. “Trump hit the roof,” one source said. Today, Trump’s personal lawyer John Dowd resigned under pressure from Trump.
In the days since Mueller issued the subpoena, Trump has been on the attack. Last Saturday, Trump encouraged Dowd to call for an end to the Russia probe, a source told me. On Sunday, Trump blasted Mueller as partisan, tweeting: “Why does the Mueller team have 13 hardened Democrats, some big Crooked Hillary supporters, and Zero Republicans?” And on Monday, he retained combative lawyer Joseph diGenova, who once declared on Fox News that the Justice Department was framing Trump with a “false crime.”
