US may let Cold War missile
treaty die after Russian violations
by Jamie McIntyre
{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty has two big problems: Russia doesn’t abide by it, and China’s not a party to it... The INF Treaty, as it’s known, is a Cold War-era agreement with the U.S. and the then-Soviet Union designed to eliminate ground-based cruise and ballistic missiles that have a range of 300 to 3,400 miles. In the past year, the U.S. has repeatedly and publicly accused Russia of violating the 1987 treaty by secretly deploying a new generation of ground-launched cruise missiles in the western province of Kaliningrad, within range of America’s NATO allies... http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/us-may-let-cold-war-missile-treaty-die-after-russian-violations/article/2641090?utm_campaign=Washington%20Examiner:%20News%20From&utm_source=Washington%20Examiner:%20News%20From%20-%2011/18/17&utm_medium=email.
Trump’s 1st SCOTUS Appointee Threw
Down Constitutional Gauntlet During Moving Speech
by CILLIAN ZEAL
{conservativetribune.com} ~ If there were any remaining conservatives who had a doubt that President Donald Trump picked the right man to succeed Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court... Neil Gorsuch should have made them believers Thursday night. That’s when the newest justice on the nation’s highest bench delivered a speech to the Federalist Society in which he threw down the gauntlet on constitutional originalism, the judicial philosophy of both himself and the late Justice Scalia. “Tonight, I can report that a person can be both a publicly committed originalist and textualist and be confirmed to the Supreme Court of the United States,” Gorsuch said, according to the Washington Examiner... https://conservativetribune.com/scotus-appointee-speech/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=conservativebyte&utm_campaign=dailypm&utm_content=libertyalliance.
FBI’s black ‘extremists’ report ignites
fears of return to illegal government watch
by foxnews.com
{foxnews.com} ~ Political organizations and veteran members of the civil rights movement have expressed concern over an FBI report noting the rise of black “extremists,”... and fear it could lead to a return to a time when the agency unjustly spied on organizations which hadn’t broken any laws. The memo, released in August, said that violence against law enforcement has been on the rise from “black identity extremists” who “acted in retaliation from perceived past police brutality incidents” and noted its likely continuation... http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/11/18/fbi-s-black-extremists-report-ignites-fears-return-to-illegal-government-watch.html.
Europe: Destroyed by the West's Indifference?
by Giulio Meotti
{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ There are pictures one cannot forget -- for instance, of Russian troops hoisting their flag over burning Berlin in 1945... It was the end of Nazism but the rise of Communism. Another photo is of U.S. Marines raising the American flag over the battle-scarred Japanese island of Iwo Jima. Today the West faces another totalitarianism: radical Islam. One place that witnessed the new horror is Mount Sinjar in the Nineveh province of Iraq, once a home to religious minorities, especially Christians and Yazidis. Thousands of years of history changed when the jihadists of ISIS invaded Sinjar in August of 2014. They slaughtered men and enslaved girls and women. Christian churches were razed to the ground, and houses of worship, looted... https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10297/christians-persecution-indifference.
Globalist Tool Sen RINO-Flake Caught
Slamming Conservatives, Trump on Live Mic
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ More evidence of the “they’ll take what we give them and like it” attitude of the GOP establishment... is being exhibited in the fact that Senator RINO-Jeff Flake is being talked about as a potential 2020 Republican presidential candidate. RINO-Flake, who is quitting the Senate because he’s wildly unpopular with the American people and was facing a primary opponent who was kicking his butt in early polls, is now being rewarded for his open belligerence towards the President. It doesn’t matter what the “peasant class” wants, apparently. There may be enough rich people with money they want to throw into a purchase of power to, just as with the 2016 election, flood the field with the globalist serving candidates willing to provide them with the American-exploitative playing field they seek to purchase... https://rickwells.us/flake-slamming-conservatives-trump-mic/.

A Theory About 'Sex Scandal' Orchestration
by ERIK RUSH
{wnd.com} ~ It began last month with press reports that more than a dozen women had accused Hollywood movie mogul Harvey Weinstein of having sexually harassed or assaulted them. Shortly thereafter, other movie industry bigwigs and celebrity entertainers came under similar fire. Within a couple of weeks, it seemed that new allegations of sexual misconduct and even rape on the part of movie industry players were surfacing on an almost daily basis.
The alternative press has had a field day with the Hollywood sex scandal, as well they should, since it showcases the abysmal moral character of the entertainment industry. The wider proliferation of the scandal may have unintended consequences, however; one conservative radio talk-show co-host said Nov. 11 that the net initially cast with the allegations against Weinstein might catch quite a few dolphins along with the intended tuna.
Earlier this month, several women came forward and accused former Alabama state judge and Republican senatorial candidate Roy Moore of having made sexual advances toward them when they were between 14 and 19 years old. This is worrisome even if one does not find the 16-year-old age of consent in the state of Alabama somewhat creepy. Moore, a champion of conservatives for several years now, has unequivocally denied the allegations, arguing that they are part of a campaign of personal destruction orchestrated by his political opponents.
It remains profoundly difficult to ascertain the truth in cases such as Moore’s, where one must weigh the probability of the allegations at hand being pure character assassination against the probability that the accused is being less than forthright in the interest of his career.
This is the problem with summary denials such as Moore has offered. They cannot be amended. Regional cultural norms that are more accepting than most with regard to men in their 30s dating 18- and 19-year-olds notwithstanding, an initial response to allegations of sexual misconduct in the vein of “Well, I was kind of a wild young man, and there might have been some misunderstandings or impulsive, inappropriate behavior on my part” leaves far more room for understanding and consideration on the part of the public than “I don’t know her from a can of paint.”
Perhaps Moore was indeed a wilder young man than he would like to have his largely Christian, conservative supporter base become aware of. Perhaps at some point he realized that his behavior was not acceptable, and was deeply contrite over it. While the potential damage attendant to such an explanation might be overcome during a political campaign, all bets are off once the summary denial his been made.
At this juncture, it is also important to have a clear picture of what Roy Moore represents to his detractors. Moore isn’t just a conservative Republican running for the office of U.S. senator in Alabama. In 2003, Moore was the sitting state chief justice who defied a federal judge’s ruling that a monument to the Ten Commandments be removed from the Alabama Supreme Court building. This gave rise to a protracted and high-profile legal fight that ultimately resulted in Moore’s removal from the bench. Moore’s actions effectively make him the poster boy for the type of politico the left seeks to destroy as a matter of course.
As I write this, things are looking increasingly grim for Roy Moore, but the issue may actually be far bigger than the candidate, the Alabama Senate seat, Hollywood, or even sexual misconduct on the part of people in power. Considering the bizarre contours of the political landscape at present, it is possible that this all might be contextualized as a campaign of desperate distraction being carried out by the political establishment.
A few weeks ago in this space, I analyzed the Hollywood sex scandal and examined the question of why the movie industry appeared to be offering up some of its heaviest hitters considering that sexual deviance tends to be celebrated by the left and that amorality in general tends to be rewarded rather than punished by the left. In my column, I floated the idea that perhaps these hardworking performers had simply gotten sick of having to trade their virtue for a shot at the big time.
I’m having second thoughts about that now; even at the time I wrote it, this seemed a bit too superficial and neat an explanation.
Is it possible that the political left may have deemed that some among their own are worth sacrificing if the result includes the successful neutralization of people such as Roy Moore and their ability to sustain ongoing distractions from crucial political developments? Taking the aforementioned contours of the political landscape into account, it is clear that there are crucial developments taking place nearly every day. Perhaps they began with Hollywood because, given the abysmal moral character thereof, it was simply an easy place to start.
Why orchestrate an industrial-sized sex scandal that might touch off witch hunts, paranoia and fear across an untold number of sectors? Well, what are the political left’s most ready go-tos? I’ll answer that: Race and sex. Race because of our national history and the sensitivities that have been cultivated around it, sex because those on the left are base-natured swine who have sex on the brain in perpetuity. It bears mentioning that we have also seen a significant increase in the left fomenting racial tension over the last few years, and race-related issues have highlighted the last several news cycles.
Plausibility of the theory aside, one would have to admit that this would certainly be true to form.
