The Chinese And Russian Militaries Join For Nuclear War Games

By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton

Next month’s Vostok 2018 military exercise in eastern Russia is ostensibly Russia’s largest war game since 1981. And now, it will get a further boost by the communist Chinese. China’s Defense Ministry announced yesterday that they will send 3,200 troops from the People’s Liberation Army to join over 100,000 Russians in exercises from September 11 to 15. They will bring with them at least 900 tanks and 30 aircraft. As Breitbart points out, if Russia’s boast of the biggest exercise since the Cold War is accurate, over 1,500 Russian tanks and 120 aircraft will also be involved. I consider the joining of Russian and Chinese militaries to be the stuff of nuclear nightmares.

Obviously, this is a communist show of force to ignite fear in the hearts of Westerners. And in an echo of Russia’s huge Cold War exercises that included partners from Warsaw Pact countries, Mongolia is sending a small force to also get in on the fun. Most of the original members of the Warsaw Pact will be warily watching Vostok 2018. There will be more than a little fear to go around on this event. It’s no coincidence that this week marked the 50th anniversary of the Pact’s invasion of Czechoslovakia.

“Despite furious Western attempts to isolate the Kremlin, countries still want to collaborate with Russia. By arms sales and cooperation, Russia is using its military strength to increase its geopolitical presence in the world,” Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu blustered. Both Russia and China are flexing their military might and Xi is itching to give the new and improved People’s Liberation Army a field test.

A Saudi-Iran Oil War Could Break Up OPEC

By: Irina Slav for Oilprice.com

When OPEC and Russia shook on increasing crude oil production by a million barrels daily to stop the oil price climb that had begun getting uncomfortable for consumers from Asia to the United States, there was no sign of what was to come just two months later: slowing demand in Asia, ample supply, and a brewing price war between Saudi Arabia and Iran.

Saudi Arabia, Iran’s arch-rival in the Middle East, has been a passionate supporter of President Trump’s intention to pull out of the nuclear deal with Iran and reimpose sanctions. This support is not simply on ideological or religious grounds, it also has a purely economic motive: the less Iran crude there is for sale, the more consumers will buy from Saudi Arabia.

Iran, however, is not giving up so easily. It has more to lose, after all, with the harshest sanctions yet coming into effect in the coming months. The first shots in this war were already fired: Saudi Arabia cut its selling price for oil shipped to all its clients except the United States, S&P Global Platts reports in a recent analysis of OPEC. Iran did the same and has indicated that it is prepared to do a lot more if any other producer threatens its market share. In fact, statements from senior government and military officials suggest that Iran is ready to go all the way to closing off the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran Using Same ‘Active Measure’ Tactics Against the U.S.

By: Denise Simon | Founders Code

When traveling Internet sites, social media accounts and various news aggregator services, one needs to be even more suspect of what information is out there. Russia has been applying propaganda ‘active measure’ tactics for decades and due to the global Internet system, the volume has gone beyond measure.

With all things Russia going on in Washington, DC and in the media, the success of active measures has been noticed by both China and Iran. Both have launched robust propaganda operations forcing the West and citizens to question the authenticity of sites, articles, and posts of all forms.

Watch out for those hashtags… influencing voters and fake/false news goes back to at least 2016. The operations are so effective that even big media has been duped and corrections are printed or made often when recognized. Some items are never corrected.

#EnemiesWithin: Trevor Loudon Exposes Sen. Tim Kaine & Rep. Bobby Rush (Video)

By: Trevor Loudon | New Zeal

Watch last week’s explosive videos on Reps. Andre Carson and Rosa DeLauro.

This week Trevor Loudon exposes Virginia Senator Tim Kaine and Illinois Congressman Bobby Rush.

Virginia Senator Tim Kaine and Illinois Congressman Bobby Rush

In 2016, New Zealand author and film-maker Trevor Loudon released his full-length documentary The Enemies Within, which exposed a shocking number of United States Senators and Congress members who pose a security risk to America. These elected officials were all tied to hostile foreign powers, anti-American Marxist groups or fronts for the pro-terrorist Muslim Brotherhood.

Trevor Loudon

Trevor has made a “short list” of 59 Congress members and 19 Senators who likely could not pass a basic security background check.

Unfortunately, there are no security checks for Congress members, so the United States is now suffering the consequences of highly untrustworthy people serving on sensitive Congressional Committees, including Armed Services, Homeland Security, and Intelligence.

These are the “Enemies Within.”

Trevor has made a series of 90-to-150 second mini-documentaries exposing these people. He will be releasing them in batches every Thursday night, on TrevorLoudon.com at 8 pm EST up until election day. Others may be released at appropriate times after the election.

Please embed these videos on your blog, tweet them to your followers, post them to Facebook, or personally email them to friends, relatives and colleagues. Every American voter needs to see these videos. If more Americans understand how badly they are being betrayed by their own elected representatives, they can help “drain the swamp” themselves, directly through the ballot box.
