<h3>Russia Denies Trump Aides Had Contact With Intelligence Agents</h3>
</div>
<p><strong>Article via <a href="http://news.antiwar.com/2017/02/15/russia-denies-trump-aides-had-contact-with-intelligence-agents/" target="_blank">Anti-War</a>:</strong></p>
<div class="entry">
<p>Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=1&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=0ahUKEwjtyvHF3pPSAhUK6YMKHcgWD6cQqOcBCB4wAA&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2017%2F02%2F15%2Fworld%2Feurope%2Frussia-intelligence-trump.html&amp;usg=AFQjCNEELYQpb-JrcNYKE5X903_aUmm6Pw&amp;sig2=-HsL5ccyupY0dWe_hhKu5g">denied US media reports claiming that members of the Trump campaign had “repeated contact” with Russian intelligence officials </a>ahead of the election, saying that the claims were “not based on facts” and didn’t happen.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" src="https://news.antiwar.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Russia.png" alt="" width="320" height="163" align="right" hspace="10" vspace="10" />Russian Deputy FM Sergey Ryabkov had confirmed after the November election that a number of important figures in both the Trump and Clinton campaign had had contact with Russian representatives, though this, they insisted, was the same level common to past elections.</p>
<p>These two statements suggest the contacts Russia had were strictly through diplomatic channels, and did not involve intelligence agents. The media reports suggested that recently ousted National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, among others, potentially were seen as at risk of Russian blackmail because of the contacts.</p>
<p>Flynn’s confirmed contact, however, was with the Russian Ambassador, and apart from him apparently misleading the vice president about the contents of those conversations, it probably wouldn’t have been a serious issue. Speculation about other figures’ contact with Russian spies is likely based in no small part on the disputed “<a href="https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/3259984/Trump-Intelligence-Allegations.pdf">dossier</a>” that claimed Russia had multiple sex tapes of Trump that they intended to blackmail him with, as this dossier also included substantial claims of plots between campaign figures and Russia.</p>

<blockquote><p><em>“You have to remember, rights don&#8217;t come in groups we shouldn&#8217;t have &#8216;gay rights&#8217;; rights come as individuals, and we wouldn&#8217;t have this major debate going on. It would be behavior that would count, not what person belongs to what group.” —</em><em> Ron Paul</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Imagine a future with compulsory euthanasia. One day the government could declare, “Let’s end global warming by cutting down on the number of old people.” And the citizenry would bow down to forced euthanasia because they are of one mind in the belief that they must do their duty in service to their country and &#8220;for the greater good.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sound crazy? Cultish?</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="m_7158686075491048541gmail- m_7158686075491048541gmail-wp-image-3275 m_7158686075491048541gmail- CToWUd a6T aligncenter" src="https://ci3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/QgfCzNP7585wzdLRw9Ybeox-nJH30wt8v4i4lFehlNuHSyLGBeurpZGtEMGWfY42gHZqTAiknVKp9txBNlN0u2mCOO5wSfChkk2uMEXNBCvXblNXeblrU3gDQCKxr3fdW-jCUm0jgSBUgoE=s0-d-e1-ft#http://www.natureofhealing.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/4187945411_8711f475ab-1.jpg" alt="" width="554" height="413" /></p>
<p>This extreme scenario defines the conditions of the Hive Mind, a collective identity in which every decision you make is a committee act. Group think is cohesive intelligence over individual intellect, a super organism. Nobody wins and nobody loses. Everyone is the same. Everyone is dependent. Everything is provided by the hive.</p>
<p>The hive mind plays out in hive society as groups who petition the State for rights: gay rights, women’s rights, immigrant rights, a <a href="http://unitedoptout.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Oklahoma-Parents-Bill-of-Rights-2015.pdf" target="_blank">Parents Bill of Rights</a>. People beg the State for permission without realizing the State can neither grant nor abolish ANY rights. Rights cannot be transferred from one person to another; they are &#8220;unalienable.” Rights come from “nature’s God.” States can only grant privileges that can be abolished, amended, modified or expanded at the whim of the State (See Obamacare). Have we become so disconnected from nature that we require permission from others?</p>
<p><strong>Values vs. Morals; Privileges vs. Rights</strong></p>
<p>Privileges and Rights can be understood in the same way as values and morals. A value is a subjective desire.  A moral is an objective truth.</p>
<p>Values are found in a Democracy where the majority rules. Morals are found in a constitutional democratic Republic where the individual is protected.</p>
<p>Morals are the basis for The Constitution, Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence. These documents are metaphorical <em>shields</em> to protect individual rights from oppressive forces whose goal is to abolish them.</p>
<p>Politics is a value-based system in a game of &#8220;divide and conquer.&#8221; The debate of “pro” vs. “anti” are value judgments that serve to divide, distract and invalidate morals. The morality of right and wrong, truth and justice, gets lost in the shuffle. For instance, when “pro-choice&#8221; liberals claim to be &#8220;pro-vaccine mandate,&#8221; the freedom to choose is abolished. When debate is bogged down in the &#8220;science&#8221; of vaccines, it is a diversion from the real issue of human rights. <strong>The core issue is about freedom not science.</strong><strong> </strong>Politicians purposely object to legislating morality in favor of advancing values. Are they not legislating to <em>abolish</em> morality?</p>
<p>According to Karl Marx, the great enemy of humanity is morality. In a society with Collectivist and Marxist tendencies that show up as &#8220;Liberalism,&#8221; the mindset is &#8220;for the good of all.&#8221; Discussions of morals are naturally suppressed.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;The society of the future is one in which the moral distinctions &#8230; have all dissolved. We are moving into a Communist world, into the world that Marx wanted without knowing it and without having the kind of revolution that Marx predicted and thought was necessary.&#8221; &#8211; Harry Jaffa, author A New Birth Of Freedom</em></p></blockquote>
<p>In a &#8220;honeybee Democracy,&#8221; mandates do not seek to suspend Rights but to abolish them. What kind of “value” is advanced by the abolition of a Right? If the religious exemption is abolished by the vaccine mandate, is the abolition of religion next? Are those acceptable values—to abolish Rights?</p>

<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;A colony of honeybees is far more than an aggregation of individuals, it is a composite being that functions as an integrated whole.&#8221; &#8211; <a href="https://www.wired.com/2011/12/the-true-hive-mind-how-honeybee-colonies-think/" target="_blank">David Dobbs, Science</a>, 2011</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Governments twist nature to suppress individual power through Scientism. Scientism is not science but religion. It claims to be the only source of real knowledge.  Reason and logic over creativity, memory and imagination. Scientism creates &#8220;Vaccine Science&#8221; or “Climate Change Science” as the underlying philosophy that dictates societal norms. Question the science and be demonized. True science asks the questions. Science is debatable, never &#8220;settled.&#8221;</p>

<blockquote><p><em>“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society.” – Edward Bernays</em></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Social Engineering</strong></p>
<p>How did humans become a swarm of bees? Edward Bernays, the father of Public Relations, wrote the book <a href="http://www.historyisaweapon.org/defcon1/bernprop.html" target="_blank">Propoganda</a> in 1928. He believed that<em> “if people are to live together as a smoothly functioning society, then controlling what people think must be engineered.”</em></p>
<p>Bernays suggested that people are followers. He banked on how vulnerable the human mind could be, and used emotions to control the “stock” by keeping them distracted on trivial events.</p>
<p>Social engineers mold public opinion and influence popular attitudes to set society’s norms. These norms are subsidized by government and then carried out by the population who plays its role as victim. These are psychological operations, or PSYOPS.</p>
<p>The example of one nation (e.g., America) then becomes the mold to homogenize the rest of the world and standardize the laws on a global scale. Social engineering convinces us to follow the trends: what sports to watch, what fashions to wear, how to style hair (i.e., the bob).</p>
<p>Organized chaos was Bernays&#8217; idea on how order is engineered through the creation of chaos or <strong>ordo ab chao.</strong> This builds on the the Hegelian Dialectic, or Problem&gt;Reaction&gt;Solution.</p>
<p>In the U.S. how the people behind-the-scenes mold public opinion is &#8220;Public Relations.&#8221; The result is that the individual has literally lost his mind and his ability to think critically.</p>
<p>Under the system, the plasticity of the mind becomes fixed. Cognitive Dissonance sets in. Even in light of new information, the mind remains rigid, stuck in a value system. Unless the individual regains the POWER to control his mind and body, and regain his RIGHTS&#8230;. the struggle will not end at vaccine mandates.</p>
<p><strong>Property of the State</strong></p>
<p>Agnes George DeMille, choreographer and granddaughter of George DeMille, the author of “Progress and Poverty,” <a href="http://www.henrygeorge.org/agnes.htm" target="_blank">wrote about our current state in 1997</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“This clown civilization is ours. We chose this of our own free will, in our own free democracy, with all the means to legislate intelligently readily at hand. We chose this because it suited a few people to have us do so. They counted on our mental indolence and we freely and obediently conformed. We chose not to think.”</em></p></blockquote>

<p>On the heels of the vaccine mandate (<a href="https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160SB277" target="_blank">SB277</a>) in California, the proposed law SB-18 <a href="https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB18" target="_blank">The Bill of Rights for Children and Youth</a> would remove gun rights, homeschooling, parental rights, and health freedom all in one law. From where does this language come?</p>
<p>From the UNCRC, an <a href="http://www.ohchr.org/EN/ProfessionalInterest/Pages/CRC.aspx" target="_blank">International treaty</a>! Have Americans been led and misled so easily to their doom by a honeycomb Matrix where no individual in government is accountable?</p>
<p>The Declaration of Independence appeals to the Laws of Nature and nature’s God. It reminds us that Life, Liberty and Property = your Body, Soul and Self. Liberty prevents any government body from forcing vaccines or removing a child against an individual&#8217;s will and consent.</p>
<p>The Declaration of Independence connects us to our divinity and reminds us that the right to self-defense is a basic human right. Nature shows us that in a bee colony “<a href="https://www.wired.com/2011/12/the-true-hive-mind-how-honeybee-colonies-think/" target="_blank">each one [is] an alert individual</a> making tours of inspection looking for things to do and acting on her own to serve the community.”</p>
<p><strong>Marching for Rights</strong></p>
<p>In America, the act of marching for State-granted Rights is an exercise in futility and self-defeating. Citizens are the property of the State. Citizen = property. Property has no rights. When the masses beg for rights, it is by design, to subvert individual rights.</p>
<p>Imagine if specific laws were required to grant every individual and collective interest in society. That&#8217;s exactly what we have. Where does it end? If someone or some group is purposely or erroneously left out, are their Rights non- existent?</p>
<p>To hand over inherent rights to an all-powerful government (Marxism) captured by corporations (Fascism) is where we live today. Marxism socializes people through the school system to think in a way that justifies inequality.</p>
<p>Children learn to accept there will always be someone in authority who they must obey—the Master-Slave dynamic. The way to assert rights is to remove the group banners and march together for One Law for All. Human Rights.</p>
<p><strong>Technocracy Rising</strong></p>
<p>This Brave New World we face is the Technocracy movement, born in the 1930s to replace Capitalism. Technocracy is a totalitarian dictatorship that uses Marxism as a stepping-stone and scientism as the science of social engineering. Technocracy is economic totalitarianism (TPP, NSA, IMF), set up through the political structure (the World Bank president is appointed by the U.S. President) to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7QlOTi86Nk" target="_blank">replace the economic system on a global level.</a> Where do you think Aldous Huxley, author of Brave New World, got his inspiration in 1932?<strong> </strong></p>

<p>Patrick Wood, blacklisted author of Technocracy Rising, says the coming Technotronic Era is a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7QlOTi86Nk" target="_blank">controlled society managed by an elite group</a>—think Trilateral Commission.</p>
<p>Total control means total surveillance, from smart meters to smart phones, to <a href="http://theweek.com/speedreads/538379/samsung-warns-customers-not-discuss-personal-information-front-smart-tvs" target="_blank">smart TVs that listen </a>to your every word. Congress is eventually neutered and rendered irrelevant since they don’t understand the technology they attempt to govern.</p>
<p>Reflexive Law replaces “Rule of Law.” Under Reflexive Law, &#8220;there is <a href="http://canadafreepress.com/article/reflexive-law-the-new-legal-system-driving-sustainable-development" target="_blank">no actual legal process at all</a>, but rather a jawboning process that cons actors into compliance.&#8221;</p>
<p>Under this globalist paradigm, the Constitution is out, and property rights are gone. We are back to the feudal ages, &#8220;for the good of the people,&#8221; of course. We are back to 1775 before America became a nation when Patrick Henry said, &#8220;Give me liberty, or give me death.&#8221;</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="m_7158686075491048541gmail-wp-image-3270 m_7158686075491048541gmail- CToWUd a6T aligncenter" src="https://ci5.googleusercontent.com/proxy/zQhWiDX7VKqoo3m6rTbN1FEhGVZRy5ktfHQVI2CKVUQpKfSqADpi_ddqsbMSA2H3a0PwSWB4po3ejsZKC_s3nBeZV8S0FASqFJMvtT8A251FPm7cM-kQTCfXHw=s0-d-e1-ft#http://www.natureofhealing.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/henry-1.jpg" alt="" width="273" height="273" /></p>
<p>Have we been deceived? Dumbed down? Duped? Have we allowed our freedoms to disappear through our desire to follow the crowd? If so, what do we do about it? If we fail to understand history, are we doomed to repeat it? Now that dots are being connected, how do we extract ourselves from falling further into the abyss?</p>
<p><strong>Reclaiming Identity</strong></p>
<p>Fortunately, no one group of politicians, scientists, priests, or Technocrats can determine the needs of an individual without suppressing morality, God, Nature, and humanity in the process. No one group of people can deny the nature of how humans and the Earth regulate and sustain themselves on a daily basis. The individual is the value in any group success.</p>
<p>Technology is a blessing. But technology, like the State, serves us. Not the other way around. Are we humans or insects?  Do we own our own thoughts and beliefs, or are our minds the property of the hive? Can we revert back to our humanity, through nature, to connect to our true selves, the ones who came into this world alone, and the ones who will leave this world alone?</p>
<p>As Americans, we must take back the language, take back our morality, and reclaim our true identities. We must reject Technocracy, and be ready to say &#8220;NO&#8221; when freedoms are restricted. We can withdraw consent when new laws clump us together as a swarm. We can choose to come together in communities where we have influence. Clean house from the ground up in our local governments. The time for action is now.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 class="title">Brother Of North Korea&#8217;s Kim Jong Un Assassinated In Malaysia</h3>
<p><strong>Article via <a href="http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-02-14/brother-north-koreas-kim-john-un-assassinated-malaysia" target="_blank">ZeroHedge</a>:</strong></p>
<p>Just two days after North Korea embarrassed both the US and Japan by test-firing a new, nuclear-capable ICBM with a 2000 mile range, with neither Trump nor Abe able to articulate a clear retaliation strategy, moments ago Yonhap news agency reported that the elder half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has been assassinated at Kuala Lumpur airport.</p>
<p>Kim Jong Nam, 45, who had lived outside North Korea for years, was reported to have been killed by poison needle by two women who fled the scene by taxi, the reports said.</p>
<p>He was once considered to be the heir to late North Korean leader Kim Jong Il but he fell out of favor with his father in 2001 after he was caught trying to enter Japan on a false passport, and was arrested at Tokyo airport, apparently en route to Disneyland. Kim Jong Nam had been critical of Kim Jong Un, reportedly saying in 2012 that he “won’t last long” because of his youth and inexperience. The two brothers have different mothers, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-02-14/kim-jong-un-s-half-brother-murdered-in-malaysia-yonhap-says">Bloomberg reports</a>.</p>
<div class="content">
<p>Who is behind the murder? As BBG adds, Kim has carried out a series of executions since taking power in 2011, the most high profile of which was the 2013 killing of his uncle and one-time deputy Jang Song Thaek. If Kim Jong Nam was killed by a North Korean spy, <strong>it indicates that Kim Jong Un felt a sense of paranoia about his own future and wanted to remove any potential successors</strong>, according to Namkoong Young, who has been teaching inter-Korean politics at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies for more than 25 years.</p>
<p>“Jong Nam has been in exile for years away from North’s politics for a long time but he is still the eldest son of Kim Jong Il,” Namkoong said. “And if there was any move or plan by some elite there to have him replace Jong Un, he probably should be removed.”</p>
<p>Of course, it is just as likely that a certain spy agency could have staged the murder, making it seem like it was preemptive retaliation by Un. For now there are no further details.</p>
<p>A person in the Malaysian prime minister’s office, who did not want to be named, confirmed that a North Korean national had been killed at the airport and taken to hospital. The person said police were still waiting for the autopsy report. South Korean officials have yet to comment publicly on the matter. Malaysia’s foreign ministry is still waiting for information from the police on the identity of the deceased man. The death is under the purview of the home affairs ministry, she said. The police didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.</p>
<p>In 2014, Kim Jong Un had about 50 officials executed on charges ranging from graft to watching South Korean soap operas. Two senior officials were executed with an anti-aircraft gun in August last year on Kim’s orders, South Korea’s JoongAng Ilbo newspaper reported, citing people it did not identify.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reports have surfaced recently claiming that President Trump&#8217;s national security adviser, Michael Flynn, is in jeopardy of losing his job at the White House over a phone conversation with Russia.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The United States has given a medal to a major terrorist state&#8230; for its efforts to fight terrorism. Newly appointed CIA Director Micheal Pompeo <a href="http://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2017/02/11/510036/CIA-honors-Saudi-crown-prince-with-medal" target="_blank">awarded</a> Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef with the prestigious “George Tenet Medal” on Friday, for his <em>&#8220;work in the fight against terrorism.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Wait, what?! </strong></em></p>
<p>https://youtu.be/e8Nl-9jts5c</p>
<p class="p1">This all comes as President Trump is reportedly <a href="https://wearechange.org/trump-ignores-human-rights-concerns-prepares-massive-weapons-sales-saudi-arabia/" target="_blank">preparing</a> to go forward with a multi-billion dollar weapons deal with the Saudi kingdom. However, he seems to be forgetting a few things&#8230;</p>
<p class="p1">Included in the trove of emails leaked by WikiLeaks from the account of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta was a message from the former Democratic nominee that <a href="https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/3774" target="_blank">gave insight</a> into Saudi Arabia&#8217;s relationship with the Islamic State:</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="p1"><em>“While this military/para-military operation is moving forward, we need to use our diplomatic and more traditional intelligence assets to bring pressure on the governments of Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which are providing clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL and other radical Sunni groups in the region,”</em> Hillary Clinton wrote.</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="p1">The U.S. has also been a faithful supporter of Saudi Arabia&#8217;s proxy war in Yemen for the last two years. Last month, the death toll from the war <a href="http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/01/death-toll-yemen-conflict-passes-10000-170117040849576.html" target="_blank">surpassed</a> 10,000, with an additional 40,000 injured and at least 10 million in need &#8220;urgent assistance.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://wearechange.org/trumps-ties-saudi-arabia-lead-death-destruction-war-torn-yemen/" target="_blank"><strong>[RELATED: Trump’s Ties to Saudi Arabia Lead to Further Death, Destruction in War-Torn Yemen]</strong></a></p>
<p class="p1">Saudi Arabia <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/saudi-arabia-execute-150-civilians-by-end-of-year-reprieve-human-rights-a7483951.html" target="_blank">publicly executed</a> 150 people in 2016, which included the largest mass execution since 1980. At least one-third of the people who were executed were tried in the kingdom&#8217;s <em>&#8220;specialized criminal court,&#8221;</em> which has a reputation for being used to <em>&#8220;silence political dissidents.&#8221;&#8216;</em></p>
<p class="p1">Then there is the fact that 15 out of the 19 hijackers <a href="https://wearechange.org/saudi-arabia-not-included-muslim-ban/" target="_blank">implicated</a> in the 9/11 terrorist attacks were from&#8230; <strong>Saudi Arabia</strong>. However, nearly 16 years later, the United States is giving the same country a medal for its efforts to fight terrorism?</p>
<p class="p1"><a href="https://wearechange.org/saudi-arabia-not-included-muslim-ban/" target="_blank"><strong>[RELATED: 9/11-Linked Saudi Arabia Not Included In &#8216;Muslim Ban&#8217;]</strong></a></p>
<p class="p1">One of the most important things to remember about this story is that President Trump&#8217;s administration is doing exactly what President Obama&#8217;s administration did—cuddling up to Saudi Arabia, ignoring the country&#8217;s blatant human rights violations and giving it awards for &#8220;fighting terrorism,&#8221; when it is helping to create it.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Elites Prepare For Disaster While Trump Faces Goldman Sachs</h3>
<p>Despite the fact that he criticized Goldman Sachs on the campaign trail, President Trump has stacked his administration with Goldman Sachs operatives, and he now faces a stand-off with the re-introduction of Rand Paul&#8217;s &#8220;Audit The Fed&#8221; bill.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;We have seen Donald Trump, when he was running to be President of the United States publicly call out Goldman Sachs and call them corporate cheap-digs that are pick-pocketing the wealth of the American worker. And we&#8217;re getting some word from within the Donald Trump administration that they are concerned that they have been overtaken by Goldman Sachs.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p>While this is happening, there have been reports of tech tycoons, billionaires and elites leaving the U.S. in order to &#8220;doomsday prep&#8221; for the apocalypse.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>After Years of Research, Big Pharma Finally Shows Evidence Cannabis Kills Cancer.</h3>
<p><strong>Article via <a href="http://thefreethoughtproject.com/after-years-of-research-big-pharma-finally-shows-evidence-cannabis-kills-cancer-cells/" target="_blank">The Free Thought Project</a>:</strong></p>
<p>In April 2015 the National Institute of Drug Abuse <a href="http://thefreethoughtproject.com/government-admits-marijuana-kills-cancer-cells-kidnap-cage-kill/" target="_blank">acknowledged that cannabis kills cancer cells</a> and dramatically reduces the growth of new brain cancer cells. This was a startling admission, considering that federal government’s position on cannabis retains it as a Schedule 1 drug with “no medical benefit.”</p>
<p>Research has continued despite this roadblock, and now the pharmaceutical industry might actually help overcome government’s stubbornness about cannabis as medicine.</p>
<p>British company GW Pharmaceuticals has been testing cannabis extracts for the past few years, and now has clinical evidence that certain formulations reduce the mortality rate of people with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), a form of brain cancer that typically kills patients within two years. Results of the ‘phase 2 proof of concept study’ were <a href="http://ir.gwpharm.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=1010672" target="_blank">announced Feb. 7</a>.</p>
<p>Combined with temozolomide, the current medication used to treat GBM, patients’ <strong>median survival was more than 550 days, compared to 369 days without the cannabis treatment</strong>. The CBD (cannabidiol)-THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) treatment helped produced an <strong>83 percent one-year survival rate, compared with 53 percent for non-cannabis patients</strong>.</p>
<p>Prior studies had shown that a CBD-THC combination “led to a synergistic reduction in the viability of U87MG glioma cells,” and the “co-administration of temozolomide with THC and CBD had further synergistic effects, causing a significant reduction in cell viability.”</p>
<p>In their press release, GW noted that there is substantial oncologic research on cannabinoids to treat several forms of cancer, with 15 publications on the positive effects on tumor growth and suppression – especially in promoting autophagy, or “the process of regulated self-degradation by cells.”</p>
<p>“<em>We believe that the signals of efficacy demonstrated in this study further reinforce the potential role of cannabinoids in the field of oncology and provide GW with the prospect of a new and distinct cannabinoid product candidate in the treatment of glioma</em>,” said CEO Justin Gover.</p>
<p>GW can be said to be one of more respectable pharma companies. Instead of actively fighting cannabis legalization – as U.S. companies have done by <a href="http://thefreethoughtproject.com/pharma-company-admits-pot-kill-profit/" target="_blank">funding anti-pot propaganda</a> prior to state ballot initiatives – GW is embracing the power of cannabis.</p>
<p>GW Pharma is on the verge of securing approval for a <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2016/09/26/shares-in-gw-pharma-rally-after-another-promising-epilepsy-trial/" target="_blank">cannabis-derived drug called Epidiolex</a> to treat children with severe epilepsy. It will file for approval this year in the U.S. and the U.K. Trials have shown “high statistical significance” in helping patients, some of who suffer 80 severe seizures a day.</p>
<p>Of course, we already know through countless examples that the administration of CBD or other types of cannabis oil stops seizures in their tracks for children suffering with epilepsy. It’s why a Colorado company has produced a nasal cannabis spray that <a href="http://thefreethoughtproject.com/cannabis-nasal-spray-state/" target="_blank">repeatedly stops seizures within 20 seconds</a>.</p>
<p>While many states now acknowledge this reality and are legalizing cannabis extracts for seizures, Epidiolex has the potential to offer an effective treatment nationwide. It will also put the absurd classification of cannabis and its derivatives as a Schedule 1 drug to the ultimate test.</p>

<h3>Formal Announcement Expected Soon on Multi-Billion Dollar Deals</h3>
<p><strong>Article via <a href="http://news.antiwar.com/2017/02/08/trump-to-approve-arms-sales-to-saudis-bahrain-ignoring-human-rights-concerns/" target="_blank">Anti-War</a>:</strong></p>
<p id="pagesub">According to officials familiar with the process, President Trump is expected to<a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/feb/7/trump-ready-to-approve-weapons-packages-to-saudi-a/"> quickly approve massive weapons sales to both Saudi Arabia and Bahrain</a>, deals which had been on hold over growing concerns about human rights abuses by both nations.</p>
</div>
<div class="entry">
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://news.antiwar.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/pshh.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" align="right" hspace="10" vspace="10" />The White House did not discuss the matter directly, saying the final announcement isn’t made yet, but the reports say that a $300 million Saudi missile technology sale and a multi-billion dollar warplane deal for Bahrain are both expected to get imminent clearance from the administration.</p>
<p>Human rights groups had been attacking the Obama Administration for years over such sales, calls which grew with the Saudi war in Yemen and the huge civilian death toll that followed. In the final few months of his administration, <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/donald-trump-arms-sales-saudi-arabia-bahrain-blocked-barack-obama-yemen-civil-war-middle-east-a7568911.html">Obama was slowing some of the sales</a>.</p>
<p>The expectation now, however, is that the Trump Administration is interested in getting the large sales on the books quickly to talk up their ability to keep getting large weapons contracts for key US arms makers. This could force human rights groups trying to limit the use of US weapons in committing war crimes to start from square one with the new administration.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 class="post-heading">9/11 Mastermind’s Letter to Obama: Here’s Why We Attacked America</h2>
<p><strong>Article via <a href="http://theantimedia.org/sheikh-mohammed-letter-9-11-obama/" target="_blank">The Anti-Media</a>: </strong></p>
<p>When Barack Obama was still in office, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, one of the perpetrators of the 9/11 terror attacks, <a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/world/americas/guantanamo/article131466294.html" target="_blank">penned a letter</a> to him. Though a judge recently ruled that letter could be sent to the White House before the outgoing president left office, the contents were to be withheld from the public until a month later — until after President Trump had assumed power.</p>
<p>This week, the <em>Miami Herald</em> obtained and published the contents of the <a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/latest-news/article131466809.ece/binary/ksmlettertoobama.pdf" target="_blank">18-page letter</a>, originally written in 2015 and titled “LETTER FROM THE CAPTIVE MUJAHID KHALID SHAIKH MOHAMMAD TO THE HEAD OF THE SNAKE, BARACK OBAMA, THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THE COUNTRY OF OPPRESSION AND TYRANNY.” It contains the Kuwait-born Pakistani terrorist’s insights into why 9/11 occurred, as well as surprisingly accurate assessments of American politics.</p>
<p>One of the main reasons for 9/11, according to Mohammed, is one terrorists have referenced before: American foreign policy. His explanation is rooted both in history and in current affairs.</p>
<p>“<i>The American people were misled by the Johnson administration and the Pentagon into waging a war in Vietnam that cost 58,000 U.S. lives and millions of Vietnamese lives and ultimately led to a humiliating defeat</i>,” he writes, correctly referencing Johnson’s <a href="http://fair.org/media-beat-column/30-year-anniversary-tonkin-gulf-lie-launched-vietnam-war/" target="_blank">false flag attack</a> in the Gulf of Tonkin, which the Democratic president used to push the U.S. into a prolonged, messy, and ultimately failed war.</p>
<p>Mohammed also focused on U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East and the Muslim world specifically, providing a long list of reasons why the “<i>U.S. reaped what it sowed on 9/11</i>.” One of those grievances was the U.S. government and CIA’s <a href="http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/09/its-been-50-years-biggest-us-backed-genocide-youve-never-heard" target="_blank">scheme</a> to back and support  “<i>the Indonesian dictator Suharto when his army-led massacres slaughtered hundreds of thousands of landless farmers</i>,” though his examples span the globe.</p>
<p>He cites America’s notorious desire for oil, referencing when the U.S. built “<i>military bases in the Arabian Peninsula in Tabuk, Dhahran, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, and U.A.E – which is prohibited by Sharia laws – to secure a non-stop flood of oil to [their] country at the cheapest price.” </i>He argues this was “<i>to support the dictatorial rule of monarchial families and oppressive, corrupt, dynastic regimes and looting the wealth of the Muslim Ummah population; and to accomplish [U.S.] military objectives there</i>.”</p>
<p>He references the CIA’s 1953 <a href="http://nsarchive.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB435/" target="_blank">coup</a> in Iran — conducted in conjunction with their British intelligence counterparts — to overthrow the country’s democratically elected leader and empower the “<i>Shah of Iran and Safak, the brutal Iranian intelligence agency, for 40 years</i>.”</p>
<p>Discussing Iraq in the 1990s, he references “<i>when Anglo-Saxon crusaders imposed sanctions against the Iraqi people in a manner of collective punishment that resulted in the death of half a million civilians</i>.” He later addresses former U.N. ambassador Madeleine Albright’s <a href="https://www.democracynow.org/2004/7/30/democracy_now_confronts_madeline_albright_on" target="_blank">claim</a> that the deaths of half a million children were “worth it.”</p>
<p>Mohammed also points out hypocrisies in American foreign policy, such as the American officials’ <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/syria/10283045/John-Kerry-and-Bashar-al-Assad-dined-in-Damascus.html" target="_blank">ties</a> to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad before they wanted to oust him. He also points out that before invading Iraq, the U.S. “<i>supported Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq War, even when he was using poison mustard gas against the Kurds</i>…”</p>
<p>Mohammed discusses at length the centuries of Western attacks on Muslims and their countries, also noting the way Western countries broke up formerly Ottoman nations in the early 20th century, <a href="http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/world-war-i-led-to-a-century-of-violence-in-the-middle-east-a-946052.html" target="_blank">dividing them up</a> and claiming control in the region.</p>
<p>He circles back to indict the whole of American foreign policy, noting the U.S. has escaped prosecution for their “<i>brutal and savage massacres against the American Indian and [their] crimes in Vietnam, Korea, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Dresden, and Latin America; and for [their] support for the Chinese Dictator, Chiang Kai-Shek, and Mexico’s dictator, Santa Ana</i>.”</p>
<p>“<i>You can keep your military bases in Japan, Germany, Italy, and elsewhere</i>,” he writes, “<i>but Muslim land will never accept infidels army bases in their land</i>.” He credits Allah with helping them fight back against Western aggression, frequently weaving in religious sentiments as justification for further violence.</p>
<p>Though Mohammed focuses largely on U.S. imperialism, one of his main grievances is the U.S. government’s support for Israel throughout the decades. He argues America reaped what it sowed on 9/11 in part because of America’s backing of Israel “<i>in the political arena, when you blocked resolutions in the United Nations Security Council more than 45 times to protect repeated Israeli crimes</i>.” Mohammed cites the U.S.’ support for Israel’s invasions of Lebanon throughout the years, ultimately arguing that jihadists fight for all oppressed Muslims. He claims they represent Palestinians and others who have been crushed by Western influence and invasion (of course, it is impossible to prove <i>all</i> victimized Muslims support terrorism as recourse, making this claim rather grandiose).</p>
<p>He discusses Obama’s ongoing efforts to continue providing weaponry to Israel even as the former president openly questioned Israeli settlements. “<i>While your children may play safely in the White House backyard, the entire world is watching your weapons kill Palestinian children at play on the Gaza beach during Holy Month of Ramadan or studying in their classrooms</i>.”</p>
<p>Mohammed criticizes American politicians’ repeated claims that Israel “<i>has a right to defend itself</i>.”</p>
<p>“<i>Why can’t you or any American president before you say that the Palestinians have a right to defend themselves against Israeli crimes?</i>” he wonders. “<i>The answer is very clear but you can’t say it because your lords will be very angry</i>.” Indeed, Israel wields <a href="http://theantimedia.org/america-looming-war-iran/" target="_blank">significant influence</a> over American policy.</p>
<p>The notion that American politicians are beholden to higher powers is echoed throughout the letter, but not just with regard to Israel’s influence through lobbying organization <a href="http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2016/03/22/the-best-congress-aipac-can-buy/" target="_blank">AIPAC</a> (American Israel Public Affairs Committee). With surprising accuracy, Mohammed details corporate influence throughout government. Early in the letter, he points out that politicians must serve their donors, whether they are in the healthcare industry, the prison industry, or “<i>Blackwater, Halliburton, or any other arms industry of weapons firm</i>.” He says the latter industry requires politicians “<i>to push the DoD and U.S. soldiers into more wars…</i>”</p>
<p>He condemns American capitalism and the farce of democracy throughout the letter, referring to politicians as mercenaries working for their financiers. He asserts that “<i>[i]n the end, this will lead the rich to grow richer and the poor to grow poorer. The country will sink into debt and finally the nation will die.</i>”</p>
<p>Mohammed also singles out Obama, citing his drone strikes, which <a href="https://mic.com/articles/16949/predator-drone-strikes-50-civilians-are-killed-for-every-1-terrorist-and-the-cia-only-wants-to-up-drone-warfare" target="_blank">killed countless innocent civilians</a> and children. He condemns Obama’s assassination of American citizen Anwar al-Awlaki without trial — followed by the killing of his 16-year-old son — as well as the president’s establishment of indefinite detention and his failure to close Guantanamo, where Mohammed has been imprisoned for years.</p>
<p>He calls out Western media, as well. “<i>Don’t let Fox, CNN, BBC, or American and pro-Israeli channels cover your eyes because they never show the truth, their main task is brainwashing</i>,” he argues. “<i>They are experts at lying and distorting the facts to achieve their masters’ ends.</i>”</p>
<p>(Instead, he praises <i>Al-Jazeera</i>, which is, in fact, a news agency <a href="http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/qatar/al-jazeera-turning-into-private-media-organisation-1.837871" target="_blank">originally funded</a> by the oil-rich Qatari government, an <a href="https://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/5437.htm">ally</a> of the United States.)</p>
<p>Since 9/11, the political establishment’s narrative has asserted Islamic terrorists target the United States because they hate us for our freedom, because their religion is violent, and because they are hellbent on destroying anyone who disagrees with their ideology. While it’s indisputable that anyone who would seek to kill 3,000 civilians is a cold-blooded murderer, his explanation has been echoed by terrorists before; the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jan/12/-sp-charlie-hebdo-attackers-kids-france-radicalised-paris" target="_blank">Charlie Hebdo shooters</a>, the <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/youngest-boston-victim-mourned-article-1.1325050" target="_blank">Boston Marathon bombers</a>, and the <a href="http://theantimedia.org/orlando-shooter-motive-fbi-try-hide/" target="_blank">Orlando night club shooter</a> all referenced violent, imperialistic American policy as reasons for their attacks.</p>
<p>Mohammed concludes:</p>
<p>“<i>If your government and public won’t tolerate 9/11, then how can you ask Muslims to tolerate your 60 years of crimes in Palestine, Lebanon, the Arabian Peninsula and the whole Muslim World?</i>”</p>
<p>As former congressman and longtime non-interventionist Dr. Ron Paul <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20000709043544/http://www.house.gov/paul/tst/tst98/tst082498.htm" target="_blank">warned</a> in 1998 — long before 9/11:</p>
<p><i>“Far too often, the bombing of declared (or concocted) enemies, whether it’s the North Vietnamese, the Iraqis, the Libyans, the Sudanese, the Albanians, or the Afghans, produces precisely the opposite effect to what is sought. It kills innocent people, creates more hatred toward America, unifies and stimulates the growth of the extremist Islamic movement and makes them more determined than ever to strike back with their weapon of choice – terror.”</i></p>

<h3>Amnesty Claim on Syria Hangings Lacks Solid Evidence</h3>
</div>
<div class="entry">
<p><strong>Article via <a href="http://news.antiwar.com/2017/02/08/amnesty-claim-on-syria-hangings-lacks-solid-evidence/" target="_blank">Anti-War</a>:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Media Far Oversells Report Based on Limited Rebel Testimony</strong></p>
<p>A <a href="https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/mde24/5415/2017/en/">report from Amnesty International</a> citing testimony from a handful of rebels and other opposition figures, and claiming a large number of hangings carried out by the Syrian government at a single prison has been quickly accepted by media outlets, and in many cases far overstated, despite a lack of really concrete proof it ever happened.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://news.antiwar.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/syria18.gif" alt="" width="328" height="353" align="right" hspace="10" vspace="10" />The report’s figures are based on claims of executions of between 20 and 50 people executed in a week, extrapolated into a 4+ year figure which put between 5,000 and 13,000 people over that period, “assuming the rate remained the same,” an assumption for which they don’t provide any real evidence, since the testimonies are all for very limited periods of time.</p>
<p>This broad 5,000 to 13,000 death toll was not only endorsed by outlets like the Associated Press, but overstated, with the AP taking that fairly wide range, and reporting “<a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/amnesty-says-least-13-000-people-hanged-syrian-000451902.html">at least 13,000</a>” as the death toll, despite it being the absolute maximum in the Amnesty range.</p>
<p>The Syrian government has issued a statement denying the claim, calling it part of a “<a href="http://news.sky.com/story/syria-says-amnestys-13000-people-hanged-claim-untrue-10760525">smear campaign</a>” against them. While Syria often denies things that they actually did, in this case, the lack of evidence makes it difficult to say how many executions might’ve happened.</p>
