Hawaii refuses to release internal records about the January missile alert that left islanders fearing a nuclear blast -- For nearly two months, Gov. David Ige's office has refused to release information showing how the Hawaii missile alert was handled --Ige's office has declined to release phone logs, text messages, instant messages and calendars related to the missile alert | 12 March 2018 | Hawaii officials have repeatedly pointed to a low-level state employee and a breakdown in his agency's leadership as the main cause for a January missile alert that left hundreds of thousands of islanders thinking they might die in a nuclear blast. But efforts to find out more about what other top officials did that day have been stymied at the highest levels of state government. Hawaii law says opening the government to public scrutiny 'is the only viable and reasonable method of protecting the public's interest.' But for nearly two months, Gov. David Ige's office has refused to provide information requested by The Associated Press that could show how he and other officials handled the crisis.

FBI Insiders Blow Whistle on Massive Las Vegas Cover Up; Agents Told Not to Investigate Key Evidence in Mandalay Bay Massacre | 12 March 2018 | The "official" narrative you've been fed by the FBI and Las Vegas officials about the massacre at Mandalay Bay that claimed 58 lives is purely fiction, a polished story contrived to cover up the disturbing facts surrounding the worst mass shooting ever in the United States, according the FBI insiders and high-ranking intelligence officials. And now, after months of corporate-infused spin...and outright lies from officials in the FBI and the Las Vegas Metro Police Department, federal agents and intelligence officials are spilling the beans about what really happened on and before the Oct. 1 massacre. "It's a movie script that was written after the shooting to rewrite what really happened," one FBI agent said. "The investigation is an entirely different story that we are not allowed to talk about. If we do and get caught, we get fired and probably charged (criminally)."

Two 'heroic' SWAT team members are suspended without pay for disobeying orders and responding to Florida high school massacre while 'cowardly' deputies cowered outside | 09 March 2018 | Two Florida SWAT team members have been suspended after responding to the Florida massacre without their bosses' permission. Detectives Jeffrey Gilbert and Carl Schlosser - as identified by the Florida Sun-Sentinel - did not tell superiors that they were going to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School where mass shooter Nikolas Cruz, 19, [allegedly] killed 17 people. After they jumped into action without following protocol, the two were suspended from the Miramar Police Department's 'privileged program' on February 22 and were ordered to surrender their SWAT-issued rifles. [This is what happens when to you try to halt a (possible) false flag, already in progress. (Remember when Dick Cheney told NORAD to stand down, so the 9/11 attacks could proceed as planned?) The Parkland shooting is beginning to look like it was a LIHOP (Let It Happen On Purpose) or a MIHOP (Make It Happen On Purpose). --LRP]

School Safety Administrator Discusses Disturbing Evidence in Parkland School Shooting | 07 March 2018 | Wolfgang Halbig, a retired Florida State school administrator and safety expert who researched the Sandy Hook school shooting in 2012 and concluded it was a "contrived event," turns his investigative skills to the shooting at Parkland high school. Halbig wrote the school safety plan for the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School high school in 2006, and says that the Parkland shooting follows the same script as the Sandy Hook event: There were no trauma helicopters called in, paramedics were not allowed into the school, and it is unknown who declared the victims dead. Halbig discusses in great detail numerous examples of how school administrators and police violated well known safety protocols, the effect of which was to put children and teachers into high risk of being killed -- all in violation of established safety protocols.

Rex Tillerson Out as Trump's Secretary of State, Replaced by Mike Pompeo | 13 March 2018 | President Trump on Tuesday ousted his secretary of state, Rex W. Tillerson, extending a shake-up of his administration, 14 months into his tumultuous presidency, and potentially transforming the nation's economic and foreign policy. Mr. Trump announced he would replace Mr. Tillerson with Mike Pompeo, the C.I.A. director and former Tea Party congressman, who forged a close relationship with the president and is viewed as being more in sync with Mr. Trump's America First credo. "We were not really thinking the same," Mr. Trump told reporters at the White House, explaining his decision to replace Mr. Tillerson.

Trump's pick for new CIA chief dogged by secret prisons | 13 March 2018 | Gina Haspel, the veteran CIA undercover officer President Donald Trump picked on Tuesday to head the agency, is supported by many in the U.S. intelligence community but has faced criticism for overseeing a secret CIA prison in Thailand where detainees were tortured. Intelligence officers who served with her, and congressional officials said that in 2002, during Republican President [sic] George W. Bush's administration, she was responsible for the secret prison code-named "Cat's Eye." Two suspected members of the al Qaeda militant group were subjected to waterboarding and other harsh interrogation techniques at the facility. Three years later, still during Bush's presidency, she carried out an order to destroy videotapes of the waterboarding, which simulates drowning and is considered a form of torture, according to those people.

Trump accepts invitation to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un | 08 March 2018 | President Trump has agreed to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for talks by the end of May, an extraordinary development following months of heightened nuclear tension during which the two leaders exchanged frequent military threats and insults. Kim has also committed to stopping nuclear and missile testing, even during joint military drills in South Korea next month, Chung Eui-yong, the South Korean national security adviser, told reporters at the White House on Thursday. Chung extended the invitation from Kim to meet while briefing Trump on the four-hour dinner he had with the North ­Korean leader in Pyongyang on Monday.

Trump will accept Kim Jong Un's invitation to meet, White House says | 08 March 2018 | President Trump will accept an invitation by North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un to meet, the White House confirmed Thursday night, in a dramatic development after months of sabre-rattling between the two world leaders. Kim extended the invitation and the president agreed that the two would meet by May, South Korean National Security Adviser Chung Eui-yong announced at the White House. Trump, according to White House press secretary Sarah Sanders, "will accept the invitation to meet with Kim Jong Un at a place and time to be determined."

Pentagon to Congress: You Can't Stop Us from Fueling Saudi Arabia's War in Yemen | 09 March 2018 | On February 28, Senators Mike Lee (R-UT), Chris Murphy (D-CT), and Bernie Sanders (I-VT) introduced Senate Joint Resolution 54, a resolution that seeks to end U.S. support for Saudi Arabia's war in on Yemen. Even before the resolution was introduced, the Department of Defense responded with the extraordinary claim that Congress lacked the legal authority to "override the President's determination as Commander in Chief" and end the United States involvement in the conflict...The Pentagon's claim that Congress lacks the power to limit U.S. involvement in the Yemeni civil war is an even more serious encroachment on Congress's constitutional authority over the military.

Islamists in E. Ghouta plan to stage false flag chemical attack - Damascus | 11 March 2018 | Syria's deputy foreign minister says militants plan a chemical attack in Eastern Ghouta on Sunday, will highlight the female victims and then pin the blame on Damascus. "We have received information that militants plan to stage an attack between the districts of Mesraba and Beit Sawa...The performance is thought to be scheduled for March 11," Deputy Foreign Minister, Faisal Mekdad, told journalists in Damascus. Earlier this week, the White Helmets, a self-proclaimed civil defense group, accused the Syrian government of staging a chlorine attack that affected 30 residents of Eastern Ghouta, a militant-held suburb of Damascus wrecked by intense fighting in the past month. The government, which [accurately] regards the White Helmets as a foreign-funded terrorist propaganda organization, has rejected these claims.

'US aid ends up with extremists': Analysts alarmed over Pentagon's 60,000-strong Syrian rebel force | 07 March 2018 | Analysts have warned that US-supported groups in Syria often defect to extremists with their weapons. That's after it was revealed the Pentagon plans to spend around 300 million to train and equip a 60,000-strong army in Syria. Commenting on the Pentagon's plans to build, train and equip a massive 'Vetted Syrian Opposition' to 'fight' Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS [but still I-CIA-SIS]) in Syria, a number of US-based experts told RT the move has nothing to do with combatting terrorism. Instead, US weapons and aid could easily land in the hands of Islamist extremists, as has often been seen in the past.

Google confirms its drone tech is used by Pentagon | 07 March 2018 | Google has confirmed that its technology is being used by the Pentagon to analyse footage captured by drones. A program called Project Maven is utilising the technology to automate the analysis of objects in the enormous amount of images that are captured by the Department of Defence's surveillance drones - also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). There have been almost 30,000 coalition strikes against targets in Iraq and Syria since the US-led intervention in 2014, the intelligence behind many of which is developed by analysis of UAV surveillance footage.

7 Years on, Sailors Exposed to Fukushima Radiation Seek Their Day in Court --Special investigation: US military personnel are sick and dying, and want the nuclear plant's designers and owners to take responsibility. | 09 March 2018 | ...There are currently 99 operating civilian nuclear reactors in the United States, and 22 of those are General Electric Mark 1 boiling-water reactors--the make and model identical to the three that melted down and exploded at Fukushima Daiichi. Based on a 1955 design, all but four of the US reactors have now been online for more than 40 years. All of them have the same too-small primary containment vessel, the same questionable alloys, the same bolted-on lid, the same safety systems, and (with one exception) the same vent "upgrade" that failed to prevent the tragic failures at the Japanese nuclear plant. Large US cities, such as Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC, are all closer to BWRs than Tokyo is to Fukushima Daiichi.

Russia won't respond to UK ultimatum until samples of alleged chemical weapon received - Lavrov | 13 March 2018 | Moscow will not respond to the British request about a clandestine Soviet chemical weapon allegedly used in an ex-double agent's poisoning until a sample of the agent is provided, the Russian foreign minister said. On Monday, British Prime Minister Theresa May said a chemical weapon developed under a secret Soviet program dubbed Novichok was used in the poisoning of Sergei Skripal. May demanded that Russia provide details of the program, saying otherwise London would consider the poisoning an attack directed by the Russian government. The Russian Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday that it had summoned British Ambassador to Moscow Laurie Bristow.

UK's May says 'highly likely' Russia behind nerve attack on spy | 12 March 2018 | British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Monday it was "highly likely" that Moscow was responsible for the poisoning in England of Russian former double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter using a military-grade nerve agent. May told parliament that either the Russian state was directly responsible for the poisoning or it had allowed the nerve agent to get into the hands of others. London has given Russia until the end of Tuesday to explain its use.

180 troops sent to Salisbury after Russian ex-double agent poisoning | 10 March 2018 | Up to 180 troops are being sent to the city where Russian ex-double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter were poisoned last Sunday. They will help with the removal of contaminated items linked to the crime. The police and defence ministry have confirmed they will be sending Armed Forces personnel to Salisbury in order to handle items in the area where Skripal, 66, and his daughter Yulia, 33, were found slumped on a bench last Sunday...Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey, one of the first officers to respond, was also left seriously ill. It is now understood that Bailey was poisoned at Skripal's home, according to Sky News. That has led to the theory that Skripal and his daughter had been poisoned at the ex-MI6 agent's house in Christie Miller Road, and not the restaurant Zizzi where they dined before collapsing.

250 officers from 8 units: UK diverts 'enormous resources' to probe Russian ex-spy's poisoning | 11 March 2018 | Amid hysteria surrounding the mysterious poisoning of Sergei Skripal, Britain is dedicating a significant part of the country's anti-terrorism capacity to look for Moscow's hand in the former Russian double agent's misfortune. The UK government has diverted significant resources, with eight out of Britain's 11 anti-terrorism units currently helping to investigate the poisoning of former GRU agent Sergei Skripal, Home Secretary Amber Rudd revealed, at a time when a "severe" international terrorism threat hangs over Britain. The UK believes that Skripal, 66, and his daughter Yulia, 33, were exposed to a nerve agent. Following the incident, authorities managed to collect 240 pieces of evidence and have identified some 200 witnesses to the crime, Rudd said, noting that 250 officers are taking part in the investigation.

Russian embassy: Poisoned spy was actually working for MI6 | 08 March 2018 | Russia's government claimed Thursday morning that a former Russian spy that British authorities say was poisoned with a nerve agent in the United Kingdom on Sunday was actually a British spy working for the country's MI6 intelligence bureau. In a tweet from the Russian Embassy in London, the country's government claimed that Sergei Skripal, who was saved from a poisoning attempt alongside his daughter over the weekend, "was actually a British spy, working for MI6." Russia's government has dismissed claims that it was involved as speculation meant to hurt Russia's ties with the U.K.

Volkswagen ordered to rehire employee suspected of trying to join ISIS | 13 March 2018 | A German court has ruled that Volkswagen should reinstate an employee that was fired on suspicion of terrorism-related activities. The company failed to prove that he poses a genuine threat...a regional labor court in the state of Lower Saxony ruled on Monday. The person in question is a German citizen of Algerian descent, identified only as Samir B. He worked as an assembly worker at one of the Volkswagen plants in the city of Wolfsburg, located around 90 km (55.9 miles) east of Hannover. Volkswagen's lawyers argued that the man issued threats against his colleagues, reportedly telling them they "will all die." They also told the court that they believed he could potentially stage a terrorist attack at the plant...All these facts appeared to carry insufficient weight for the Lower Saxony court, however, which deemed his dismissal invalid.

Parsons Green suspect Ahmed Hassan admitted making bomb, court hears | 09 March 2018 | An Iraqi teen on trial over the Parsons Green bomb confessed to making the device and leaving it on a train when questioned by police 24 hours after the attack. Thirty people were injured after an improvised device filled with screwdrivers, nuts and knives partially detonated during rush hour last September on a Tube train at Parsons Green station. Victims were left with burns to the face, legs and hands and singed hair which fell out in clumps after the bomb - which was hidden inside a bucket in a bag - sent a "fireball" through the carriage.

Three package bombings in Texas are linked, police say; two people killed | 12 March 2018 | Residents of a home on the eastern edge of Austin rose Monday to find a package that they weren't expecting outside the front door...That's when, according to police, it exploded. Someone had placed a bomb inside. The blast killed a 17-year-old boy and injured a woman. A few hours later, about five miles south, a 75-year-old woman found a similar package on her porch. When she picked it up, it detonated, sending her to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, officials said. Investigators quickly realized that the bombings strongly resembled a March 2 case involving a package that exploded and killed a man in his northeast Austin home. As hundreds of thousands of visitors are swarming Austin for the annual South by Southwest festival, which began Friday and runs through March 17, police said they had linked the three package bombings -- raising fears that someone is trying to terrorize the Texas capital during the city's biggest event of the year.

House GOP ending Russia probe, says no collusion found | 12 March 2018 | The House Intelligence Committee is shutting down its contentious investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, the top Republican leading the probe announced on Monday. The committee will interview no more witnesses and Republicans are in the process of preparing their final report, Rep. Mike Conaway (R-Texas) told reporters. A draft of that roughly 150-page report will be delivered to committee Democrats for review on Tuesday. The draft document asserts that there is no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians, the most politically charged question examined by the committee. It will also contradict an official U.S. intelligence community assessment that Russian President Vladimir Putin showed a "preference" for Donald Trump during the race -- another assertion that Trump has disputed.

House Republicans: No collusion between Trump and Russia | 12 March 2018 | Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee have completed a draft report concluding there was no collusion or coordination between Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and Russia. The finding is sure to please the White House and enrage panel Democrats who have not yet seen the document. After a yearlong investigation, Texas Rep. Mike Conaway (R) says the committee has finished conducting dozens of witness interviews and will share the report with Democrats on Tuesday.

President Trump arrives in California to inspect border wall prototypes | 13 March 2018 | President Trump arrived in California Tuesday where he reviewed several design prototypes for his proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. "The border wall is truly our first line of defense," Trump said in remarks after a briefing with officials from Customs and Border Patrol and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The president's visit is his first to the country's most populous state since taking office, and comes just one week after his Department of Justice announced its plan to sue California over "obstructing federal immigration enforcement efforts."

Trump pardons former Navy sailor imprisoned for taking photos on nuclear submarine, White House says | 09 March 2018 | Kristian Saucier, the former U.S. Navy sailor who served a year behind bars for taking photos of classified areas in a nuclear submarine, has been pardoned, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said Friday. Saucier recently received a letter from the Department of Justice saying it was taking a new look at his request for a pardon. Although he was released from jail last year, he remained under house arrest. President Trump had denounced the government's handling of Saucier's case, calling it a political move and saying it contrasted with the velvet-gloved response to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's mismanagement of classified information through a private server.

Trump administration to turn over documents related to Obama-era Operation Fast and Furious | 07 March 2018 | The Justice Department said Wednesday it will turn over documents withheld by former Attorney General Eric Holder related to the Operation Fast and Furious scandal during the Obama administration. The Justice Department entered into a conditional settlement agreement with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The settlement agreement was filed in federal court in Washington D.C., and ends six years of litigation arising out of the previous administration's refusal to produce records requested by the committee.

WH unveils proposals to 'harden' schools in wake of Fla. shooting | 11 March 2018 | The Trump administration on Sunday unveiled a series of proposals on school safety and gun restrictions in the wake of the recent shooting in Florida, including a push for states to provide firearms training for school staff members...The administration will also not push for universal background checks or an increase in the age requirement to purchase a rifle. Instead, as part of an effort to "harden" American schools, officials said the administration will provide assistance to states to arm teachers, encourage them to pass laws keeping guns away from dangerous individuals and call on Congress to pass legislation strengthening the national background check system.

NRA sues Florida to block part of new gun law | 09 March 2018 | The National Rifle Association is suing the state of Florida after Gov. Rick Scott signed Senate Bill 7026 into law Friday, the first gun control legislation enacted in the state after the Parkland school massacre on February 14. The NRA suit focuses on the part of the law that raises the minimum age to purchase a firearm to 21 from 18. The lawsuit, filed in the Northern District of Florida, says the age minimum section of the new law violates the second and 14th amendments of the US Constitution.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott signs gun bill | 09 March 2018 | Florida Gov. Rick Scott signed Senate Bill 7026 into law Friday, the first gun control legislation enacted in the state after the Parkland school massacre on February 14. The law, known as the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act, tightens gun control in several ways but also allows some teachers to be armed. One provision of the law raises the minimum age to purchase a firearm to 21 from 18.

Florida school shooting suspect Nikolas Cruz formally charged with 17 counts of murder | 07 March 2018 | Florida school shooting suspect Nikolas Cruz has been formally charged with 17 counts of first-degree murder, which could mean a death sentence if he's convicted. A grand jury in Fort Lauderdale returned the indictment Wednesday against the 19-year-old Cruz for the Valentine's Day massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland in which 17 people died and 16 were wounded. The indictment also charges Cruz with 17 counts of attempted murder.

Trump in full campaign mode at Pennsylvania rally | 10 March 2018 | President Trump was in full campaign mode on Saturday at a rally for Republican congressional hopeful Rick Saccone, returning to the bombastic, unrestrained candidate from 2016. For more than an hour, President Trump railed against the media and skewered his Democratic opponents while endorsing Saccone -- a Pennsylvania state Representative facing a tough race in the House special election...Trump also used the rally to unveil his own 2020 campaign slogan: "Keep America Great."

Pennsylvania special election: Everything you need to know about Rick Saccone, Conor Lamb | 13 March 2018 | The hard-fought battle between Republican Rick Saccone and Democrat Conor Lamb ends today as voters decide who will replace former Congressman Tim Murphy in Pennsylvania's 18th District. Lamb, 33, of Mt. Lebanon, is a Marine veteran and former federal prosecutor. He's pitched himself as a Southwestern Pennsylvania Democrat with an independent streak, unbeholden to the national party or House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

Student paper apologizes for printing photo of conservative scholar | 08 March 2018 | The editor-in-chief of a student newspaper at Middlebury College has personally apologized for running a photo of conservative scholar Charles Murray on the front page. In an "Editor's Note" published online last week, Editor-in-Chief of The Middlebury Campus, Ethan Brady, penned an extensive apology for publishing the photo of Murray, acknowledging that the decision could have come across as "jarring." According to Brady, the decision to publish the photograph sparked a "heated debate" among the editors last week, with most of the editorial staff opposing the idea.
