Greetings my fellow Politicanauts!

As speculated for months at SpiiiRadio,Boots on the Ground & VOCR Radio... Donald J. Trump has won the election and shall be the 45th President of the United States. That was the easy part. The Clinton machine and its spawns have yet to accept the Electoral College count and will resists until the role call is completed on December 19th 2016. Until then Trump is in limbo awaiting final Electoral consent to permit an official formation of a Trump administration. The road forward and the actions of a Trump administration will no doubt rock internal dissenters and embedded enemies. This makes the next 30 days very volatile. It is the responsibility of all citizens of North America to give due diligence to protect the President Elect of the United States.

Donald J. Trump has ruffled the feathers of many elite organizations and power brokers - and if Trump can be held true to his word, the swamp is about to get drained.

This of course, will result in violent responses from those organizations and groups who do not or cannot respect the rules of Democracy or law. Some have called them spoiled brats, requiring time off to group cry. Unfortunately they become pawns in a much larger Agent Provocateur conspiracy.

The Soros machine had planned for riots and disruptions in the event that they could not properly fix the election and guarantee the Clinton Dynasties future plunders.The U.S. continue to experience riots in a number of " Sanctuary" Cities which are believed to be sponsored by the Soros organization and others.

What is of more concern is the response from Terrorists and rogue Nations who are sponsored and financed by nefarious groups within the United States of America and around the World.

President Trump will be the constant target as leader of the free world.
Irregardless of your Political bent or leanings, I hope you will share with me the well wishes and prayers for President elect and his Family.

What happens to the Clinton Dynasty now?

There are all kinds of news stories being promoted in a more kinder gentle Propaganda ploy to legitimize and sanitize the Clinton machine.
The Clinton Foundation is crumbling with the weight of financial scrutiny and each week it seems more likely that Pay for Play politics was the daily norm during Clinton's position of Secretary of State. Maybe this is why the World is in such disarray with the Obama foreign Policy doctrine and the Clinton Foundation extortion system.

It is anticipated that outgoing President Obama will blanket Pardon the Clinton dynasty so they may continue to manipulate the DNC and voters and wring the last shekel from the tax payers coffers while continuing their attempt at Global economic control.


Should Wikileaks founder be pardoned?


According to Wikipedia:
 

Julian Paul Assange born 3 July 1971) is an Australian computer programmer, publisher and journalist. He is editor-in-chief of the organization WikiLeaks, which he founded in 2006. He has won numerous accolades for journalism, including the Sam Adams Award and Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism.
Assange founded WikiLeaks in 2006 but came to global prominence in 2010 when WikiLeaks published a series of leaks, allegedly provided by Chelsea Manning. These leaks included the Collateral Murder video (April 2010),^[2][3] the Afghanistan war logs (July 2010), the Iraq war logs (October 2010), and CableGate (November 2010). Assange became even more globally recognized after WikiLeaks published more leaks - the DNC leaks and the Podesta emails - during the United States presidential election, 2016.

Given the truth and accuracy of information provided through Wikileaks on multi subjects and the obvious understanding that if wikileaks has it, then so do enemies of our Nations.

Should Julian Paul Assange be given a pardon by President Trump after January 21st 2017?

The road forward!

President Elect Donald J. Trump is a builder. He understands budgets and costs including manpower requirements. He is not beholding to any Lobby group or Puppet Master with no Political agenda other than Making America Great again and protecting citizens under a GOP umbrella.

President Elect Trump is a fiscal businessman - a Peoples President who demands respect for the rule of law and Law Enforcement/ Fire Services and Military personnel enforcement. 

Trumps campaign was highly financed from his personal wealth and has vowed not to accept a Salary for his tenor. Trump wishes to serve, to use his negotiation skills and understanding of business to Make America Great again. The Clinton machine and its spawns continue to obstruct forward movement, impeding forward momentum that the American voters called for and resist "Draining the swamp".

Have you ever flown in or out of J.F.K. Newark or LaGuardia?

• JFK has the longest average security wait time and the longest driving time from the city center. 

• Newark has the 2nd-most flight delays and cancellations, plus the 3rd-longest average security wait time.

• LaGuardia has the most flight delays and cancellations and the most expensive parking among the 30 surveyed airports.

President Elect Trump intends to rebuild the crumbling American infra-structure which will put Millions of Americans back to work in support of mega build projects. A method used by Countries worldwide to stimulate economies and used in every financial stimulus since the building of the Pyramids. The success on this will be subject to the legislation created by a new Republican Congress. Democrat leader elect has given tacit acceptance of cooperation.

500 U.S. Citizens Fighting for Their Lives in Iraq—Obama Denies Air Support Needed to Save Them 

Right now, over 500 Americans are fighting for their lives at the Balad Air Base in Iraq. They’re completely surrounded by Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS forces. and have been utterly abandoned by our “never leave anyone behind” US military. The US air cover needed to facilitate a rescue have been withheld, even though they are DOD Contractors, there to assist our military. It’s been left to the Iraqi military to evacuate our own citizens, but many remain trapped, not just in Balad, but throughout Iraq.
The Iraqi military and Iraqi security forces laid down their weapons and fled as the ISIS forces approached, abandoning our citizens to face the oncoming terrorist forces alone. Our own government has done exactly the same thing.
Here’s an SOS sent from on the ground.

ISIS Threatens to Invade Jordan, 'Slaughter' King Abdullah

Islamist terrorists in Iraq and Syria have begun creeping toward neighboring countries, sources close to the Islamic fundamentalists revealed this week, according to a report from the Gatestone Institute.

The terrorists, who belong to The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), an offshoot of al-Qaeda, are reported to be planning to take their jihad to Jordan, Lebanon, the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula -- after having already captured large parts of Syria and Iraq.
The ISIS terrorists see Jordan's Western-backed King Abdullah as an enemy of Islam and an infidel, and have publicly called for his execution. ISIS terrorists recently posted a video on YouTube in which they threatened to "slaughter" Abdullah, whom they denounced as a "tyrant." Some of the terrorists who appeared in the video were Jordanian citizens who tore up their passports in front of the camera and vowed to launch suicide attacks inside the kingdom.
Security sources in Amman expressed deep concern over ISIS's threats and plans to "invade" the kingdom. The sources said that King Abdullah has requested urgent military aid from the U.S. and other Western countries so that he could foil any attempt to turn Jordan into an Islamist-controlled state.
The capture this week by ISIS of the cities of Mosul and Tikrit in Iraq has left many Arabs and Muslims in the region worried that their countries soon may be targeted by the terrorists, who seek to create a radical Islamist emirate in the Middle East.
According to the sources, ISIS leader Abu Baker al-Baghdadi recently discussed with his lieutenants the possibility of extending the group's control beyond Syria and Iraq.  One obvious target discussed was Jordan, where Islamist movements already have a significant presence. Jordan was also chosen because it has shared borders with Iraq and Syria, making it easier for the terrorists to infiltrate the kingdom. 

Al Qaeda Militants Capture US Black Hawk Helicopters In Iraq

Just when one thought US foreign policy couldn't sink any deeper into the hole of its embarrassment, it takes out a shovel and starts digging. Overnight, in what AP describes as a stunning assault that exposed Iraq's eroding central authority, Al Qaida-inspired militants from ISIS, or the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, overran much of Mosul on Tuesday, seizing government buildings, pushing out security forces and capturing military vehicles as thousands of residents fled the second-largest city.
For those who may have forgotten, Iraq was one of those countries "liberated" by the the United States, which unlike Afghanistan where the opium trade is still important, did pull out its troops two and a half years ago.

Has the Obama administration turned its back on Israel?

Ths shocking takeover of Mosul took place months after Al Qaeda-linked fighers took over another Iraqi town, Fallujah, earlier in the year and which they have successfully defended against government attempts to reclaim it. 
That however, was just the appetizer: Mosul is a much bigger, more strategic prize. The city and surrounding Ninevah province, which is on the doorstep of Iraq's relatively prosperous Kurdish region, are a major export route for Iraqi oil and a gateway to Syria.
The WSJ adds that hours after government forces fled Mosul in disarray following four days of fighting, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki declared a nationwide "state of maximum preparedness" but didn't indicate whether government forces were mobilizing to retake the Iraqi city, 220 miles north of the capital Baghdad.
The capture of Mosul by rebels linked to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, or ISIS, is the latest evidence of the weakness and disorganization that have beset Iraq's security forces since the U.S. forces withdrew from the country in December 2011.
Residents of Mosul said they were shocked at the ease of the rebel takeover of government buildings, television stations and military installations where U.S.-supplied fighter airplanes, helicopters and other heavy weaponry are based.

As Al Qaeda Takes Over IRAQ…Obama Heads To California For A Nice Weekend Of Golfing And Fundraising

Excerpted from BIZPAC REVIEW: CBS News White House Correspondent Mark Knoller was simply doing his job when he tweeted President Barack Obama‘s weekend plans. Little did he know that his effort would unleash a wave of criticism directed at the president.
With the situation in Iraq at critical mass and Baghdad on the verge of falling into the hands of the Islamic militant group known as ISIS, and the impending humanitarian crises unfolding on the southern border with Mexico, folks were simply astonished at what they were seeing.

Obama Caught Threatening U.S. Soldiers To Keep Quiet

Recently, United States soldiers have been speaking out against the Obama administration who have allegedly been “intimidating them” into keeping silent on recent scandals. According to reports, soldiers who served with Bergdahl have been threatened, and officials are suggesting that Bergdahl’s platoon was full of liars.
Naturally, one can only assume that the administration is just trying to justify their actions, rather than admitting the trouble they went through to rescue a deserter.
Now, the Huffington Post and Fox News have been working together to reveal the information that has been through great lengths to be kept secret. Together, the two media outlets uncovered that “the White House, in concert with the State Department and Defense Department, was orchestrating a campaign of threats and intimidations not only against infantrymen and the military men in Afghanistan at the time in 2009, but also against military officers and Pentagon officers to keep silent about what really happened, there.”

Georgia Officially Demands a “Convention of the States” to Stop Obama

It’s finally happening. Several weeks ago, Georgia’s House voted for a resolution to bring about a “Convention of the States” to stop Obama and end the growth of federal tyranny. Now, the state has officially demanded that it does happen. This is the first official demand in American history.
This could be the great political shift that stops out of control federal taxing, spending, and regulating. Term limits, balanced budgets, tax caps — it’s all now possible if enough states move forward.
Expect the hatred and the attacks from the left to pick up steam over the next few months as more and more states consider filing their own “Convention of the States” application.

IRS: So… Our Computer Crashed And Erased All Of Lois Lerner’s Emails

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) claimed Friday that it cannot produce Lois Lerner’s emails to and from the White House and other administration departments due to a supposed computer crash.

The IRS previously agreed to hand over all of the ex-IRS official’s emails from 2009 to 2011 to the House Ways and Means Committee, chaired by Rep. Dave Camp. But the IRS claimed Friday that it has Lerner’s emails to and from other IRS officials but it cannot produce emails to and from the Treasury and Justice Departments, the Federal Election Commission, or Democratic offices.

The IRS’ computer crash may go down in history next to the eighteen and a half minute gap in the Watergate tapes, which was supposedly caused by a mistake by Richard Nixon’s secretary Rose Mary Woods.

“The fact that I am just learning about this, over a year into the investigation, is completely unacceptable and now calls into question the credibility of the IRS’s response to Congressional inquiries,” Camp said in a statement. “There needs to be an immediate investigation and forensic audit by Department of Justice as well as the Inspector General.”

“Just a short time ago, Commissioner Koskinen promised to produce all Lerner documents,” Camp continued. “It appears now that was an empty promise.  Frankly, these are the critical years of the targeting of conservative groups that could explain who knew what when, and what, if any, coordination there was between agencies.  Instead, because of this loss of documents, we are conveniently left to believe that Lois Lerner acted alone.  This failure of the IRS requires the White House, which promised to get to the bottom of this, to do an Administration-wide search and production of any emails to or from Lois Lerner.  The Administration has repeatedly referred us back to the IRS for production of materials.  It is clear that is wholly insufficient when it comes to determining the full scope of the violation of taxpayer rights.”

Hillary Avoids the Press: I Have 'Deal' Not to Answer Questions 

During her book tour, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton claimed she has a "deal" not to talk to reporters who are not pre-screened. 

On Thursday, Business Insider tried to ask Clinton a question after an on-the-record Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) event.
"I'm not answering questions. That was the deal that I made; I'm sorry," Clinton reportedly said.
Business Insider reported that Clinton, a potential 2016 presidential contender, "took questions from CFR President Richard Haas and council members at the event including billionaire editor and publisher Mort Zuckerman" at the event but "did not take queries from reporters who were seated in the audience's press section." A spokesperson for CFR told the outlet that only journalists who are "members of the Council on Foreign Relations may ask questions at meetings regardless of their profession."
Clinton launched her book tour this week and has been doing numerous interviews with reporters from the major networks that were chosen by her team. 
According to Business Insider, the media outlet tried to ask Clinton about current Secretary of State John Kerry's remarks about Israel potentially becoming an "apartheid" state that Kerry made at a supposedly off-the-record Trilateral Commission event, which reporter Josh Rogin attended and taped.

At elite donor summit featuring 2016 GOP hopefuls, a longing for Romney to run again

PARK CITY, Utah — Mitt Romney’s ideas summit here was intended to be a passing of the torch to the Republican Party’s would-be saviors, with five potential 2016 presidential candidates jetting in to schmooze with many of the GOP’s biggest donors and present their agendas for the country’s future.
Instead, the scene at a luxury resort in the Rocky Mountains quickly became a Romney revival. Minutes after the 2012 Republican presidential nominee welcomed his 300 guests, Joe Scarborough, the MSNBC host and former GOP congressman, urged them to begin a “Draft Romney” movement in 2016.
“This is the only person that can fill the stage,” Scarborough said at the opening-night private dinner, according to attendees.
The Republican elite rose early Friday morning to go skeet shooting with possible 2016 hopeful Rep. Paul Ryan (Wis.). Then, over breakfast, they questioned Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.), another potential candidate, about how he thinks he could defeat the expected Democratic front-runner, Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Yet in hallway chats and over cocktails, they’ve been abuzz about recruiting someone else — Romney — into his third presidential race.

Mitt Romney: Hillary Clinton is “Clueless” on Foreign Policy [VIDEO]

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s fan club continues to dwindle, and for good reason.
She has lied to the American people so often that its come to be expected of her, and she has participated in the cover up of one of the biggest scandals in American history.
This is in addition to foolish foreign policy decisions made by her and the rest of the Obama administration in the past. These decisions are now having devastating consequences in other parts of the world.

"This isn't Fallujah. This isn't a place you can just cordon off and forget about," said Michael Knights, a regional security analyst at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, cited by AP. "It's essential to Iraq."

Sinister plot by Islamic extremists rocks UK

MICHAEL COREN | SUN NEWS NETWORK

The dominating domestic political aspect of my two weeks in Britain was what became known as "The Trojan Horse Affair."

The allegation is that Islamic extremists have systematically targeted various state schools with large Muslim populations and worked in a dedicated manner to transform these publicly funded, secular institutions into religious colleges where Wahhabi Islam dominates the curriculum and culture.

In this case the chosen area was Birmingham, Britain's second-largest city and with a large number of Muslims.

The catalyst for what has become an extensive official investigation and numerous media reports was an anonymous letter that is almost certainly a hoax, and Islamists have tried to use that fact to deny the charges.

The credibility of the letter, however, is irrelevant and it comes as no surprise to journalists and activists who have been covering jihadism in Britain that these schools have certainly been victims of an agenda and that such an agenda is common in parts of East London, south Yorkshire and the Midlands.

I interviewed several people intensely connected to the issue and what emerges is something enormously worrying, partly because the vast majority of young Muslims and their families are completely unaware that it is taking place and by upbringing and tradition follow a far more peaceful school of Islamic thought.
But teacher knows best, parents do not have the time to monitor all that their children learn, and fanatics lie rather well.

What we do know is boys and girls were routinely separated and segregated, even though this was contrary to British education policy, and young boys were told that white girls were prostitutes.

Children were often barred from being exposed to music and the arts because these are haram, or forbidden, considered idolatrous because they create beauty and thus distract from the only authentic beauty which is Allah.

In some state schools in Britain, the Islamic call to prayer was broadcast from loudspeakers, and in others Muslim children were taken on school trips to Saudi Arabia - non-Muslim children were excluded and the staff and students who went stayed in luxury hotels.
Official reports have found Christmas concerts were cancelled and fundraising raffles banned for being non-Islamic.

In others, compulsory Arabic classes have been introduced, sex education and the teaching of evolution forbidden, radical Islamist politics taught, America repeatedly condemned as the source of all evil and - extremely sinister - Easter and Christmas plays put on specifically to fool inspectors who the schools had been warned were about to pay a visit.

The full extent of the Birmingham case will take some time to unpack, but it's already led to a senior government adviser being fired and two of the country's cabinet ministers indulging in a public argument over who is most culpable in the mess.

Greetings & Salutations my fellow Politicanauts!

Where is the fire.....
       By Gurunostra

Over the last few months I have had a very hectic moment in time, business has been booming and I have had little time to put pen to paper ( figuratively). I do wish to thank those behind the scenes who maintained and released on a timely basis some great information. 

As we head to the end of April, I now have a few months of relaxed moments where I can once again become engaged in discussion of the troubles of this World. Last week we activated VOCR RADIO for the upcoming season,providing 2 30 minute live specials..... Testing the waters and the software.

Next week we return to our 1 hour shows where we examine the tidbits of information found throughout the Internet world and discuss their consequences. These shows have " OPEN PHONE LINES" for your input.


We have been pleasantly surprised at the response of our impromptu/unplugged shows, ( both positive & negatives ) One in particular caught my attention;

I read your posts and listened to your show. You repeat the obvious but stop there. Get to the thinking, what happened to thinking outside the box? Look at the world around you and how it is imploding with no power or want or desire to stop it. Why is that? 

Thank you for listening to the show and reading the blog, we appreciate your patronage. You claim that we repeat the obvious and do not think.......Interesting observation.

Personally, I have been spreading the message of what has been eroding our society for well over 14 years. I have been " Thinking Outside of the Box " since my first communication at 300 baud CoCo I to a system called Towne Crier Bulletin board system...and would get a reply within lightening speed of about an hour. The Terra Chat Network have utilized Internet protocols and media publishing since the mid 90's. to spread the Word.

The long and the short of it is if you are listening and reading we have hopefully supplied you with realities and facts of what you research..and the phone lines are open...Challenge the information,debate,discuss,dispute.....COMMUNICATE.


The message continued;


What do you think is really going on and why? This is never going to be fixed, this is the world being walked into its future. 

I am not sure if we cannot effect the future, unless you believe in a pre-existing map of our lives. I believe that many in the World are being influenced into "chess move" style plays that results in constant friction around the World. I also believe that as more people are challenged in their thinking,and honest intelligent peaceful discussion is held en-mass using the Internet that the negative hold on mankind is reduced.

As for what I think...you probably know how I think and I am more interested in how you think.....but stay tuned.


In closing.....


You had it right a long time ago and seem to have forgotten your own predictions. Have you too been dosed by the dummy juice that society has been soaked in now in every nation all for the same end? Write about that, forget this hacking over the same news and get to the where it is all going as the public, they just do not get it on 

I have maintained a constant clear picture of where we were heading. For the last 20 years I have been well aware of and reported constantly the issues of the World.
Through many incarnations of reporting methods we have come to VOCR RADIO and the SPIII Gazette...a 21st century method of communication in hopes that those who truly matter ( listeners/readers/Hosts) are prepared to discuss openly with respect.


VOCR RADIO is audience driven..call in and make a statement or ask a question!

IAF attacks terror targets in the Gaza Strip in response to rocket fire

Sderot residents report on a series of explosions that caused panic in the city; earlier, rocket hits open field in Hof Ashkelon Regional Council.
The Israel Air Force attacked terror targets in the Gaza Strip on Saturday night in response to a rocket fired earlier towards the Hof Ashkelon Regional Council. The rocket fell in an open field. No one was hurt from the rocket fire and no damage was caused.

Sderot residents reported to Ynet via the red mail on a series of explosions that caused panic in the southern city.

Palestinian sources in the Strip said the airstrike's target was in the northern Gaza Strip, likely a rocket launching pit. No injuries

were reported by the power was cut in the buildings near the target.
This was the fifth rocket fired since Thursday. An IAF fighter jet attacked five terror targets in the Strip on the night netween Thursday and Friday, following three rockets that were fired towards the Israeli south. The IDF said all targets were hit - four of them in the north of the Strip and one in its center.

According to Palestinian sources, several of this airstrike's targets were in Gaza City and some in the the northern Strip. Some of the targets were launching pits which others were outposts of Hamas' military wing.

At least 20 Iraqi soldiers killed in attacks

FALLUJA, Iraq (Reuters) - At least 20 Iraqi soldiers were killed on Saturday, most of them upon entering a house rigged with explosives northwest of the capital, security officials said.

Militants last week overran the house in the town of Garma, 30 km (20 miles) northwest of Baghdad, which had previously been used as an army post, officials said.

The army moved in on Saturday morning after militants retreated, but when they entered the house, a powerful blast tore through the building, two security officials said.

The identity of the attackers was not clear, but Sunni Islamist insurgents are regaining ground in Iraq and have taken over several towns and cities since the start of the year, including Falluja, around 70 km (44 miles) from Baghdad.

Ongoing violence has raised doubts parliamentary elections can be held nationwide later this month as intended.

Also in Garma, two government-backed Sunni militia fighters were killed when a mortar hit their post, security officials said.

Separately, three soldiers were killed and six wounded when a roadside bomb struck their patrol in Mishahda to the north of Baghdad, police and medical sources said.

An army colonel and three soldiers were also killed in an attack on their patrol in Mahmoudiya, south of Baghdad.

Of the 592 Iraqis killed in acts of violence in March, 108 were members of the security forces, according to figures published by the United Nations.

Afghanistan Presidential Election: High Turnout Amid Threats Of Violence

KABUL/KANDAHAR, Afghanistan, April 5 (Reuters) - Afghanistan's presidential election drew to a close on Saturday amid relief that attacks by Taliban fighters were fewer than feared for a vote that will bring the first-ever democratic transfer of power in a country plagued by conflict for decades.

"I congratulate all Afghans for this successful and historic election," said Election Secretary Zia-ur-Rahman, as counting got underway. "People participated beyond our expectations."

Due to Afghanistan's rugged terrain it will take six weeks for results to come in and a final result to be declared in the race to succeed President Hamid Karzai. Even then one of the eight candidates will have to score over 50 percent of the vote to avoid a run-off with his nearest rival.

Despite the Taliban threat, turnout was seven million out of 12 million eligible voters, or about 58 percent, according to preliminary estimates, election commission chief Ahmad Yousuf Nuristani said. That was well above the 4.5 million who voted at the last election in 2009, as voters refused to be cowed by the militants.

"I am here to vote and I am not afraid of any attacks," said Haji Ramazan as he stood in line at a polling station in rain-drenched Kabul. "This is my right, and no one can stop me."

 Crowd attacks Ebola treatment center in Guinea

CONAKRY, Guinea –  A crowd angry about an Ebola outbreak that has killed 86 people across Guinea attacked a center where victims were being held in isolation, prompting an international aid group to temporarily evacuate its team, officials said Saturday.
The violence took place in the southern town of Macenta, where at least 14 people have died since the outbreak emerged last month. The mob who descended upon the clinic accused Doctors Without Borders health workers of bringing Ebola to Guinea, where there had never previously been any cases.
Some young people threw rocks at the aid workers, though no one was seriously hurt, said Sam Taylor, a spokesman for Doctors Without Borders.
"We understand very well that people are afraid because it is a new disease here," Taylor said. "But these are not favorable working conditions so we are suspending our activities."
Patients are continuing to receive treatment from Guinean health ministry personnel, Taylor said.

Japan Ready To Intercept North Korean Missiles

Japan to strike if fears missile might hit its territory

* Aegis carrier ordered to prepare intercept
* Fresh tensions come amid sabre-rattling, renewed talks (Adds conditions that would prompt intercept; recent developments)
TOKYO, April 5 (Reuters) - Japan will strike any North Korean ballistic missile that threatens to hit Japan in the coming weeks after Pyongyang recently fired medium-range missiles, a government source said on Saturday.
Defence Minister Itsunori Onodera issued the order, which took effect on Thursday and runs through April 25, the day that marks the founding of North Korea's army, the source told Reuters on condition of anonymity.
Following the order, meant "to prepare for any additional missile launches," a destroyer was dispatched to the Sea of Japan and will fire if North Korea launches a missile that Tokyo deems in danger of striking or falling on Japanese territory, the source said.
Tensions have been building between North Korea and its neighbours since Pyongyang - in an apparent show of defiance - fired two Rodong missiles on March 26, just as the leaders of Japan, South Korea and the United States were sitting down to discuss containing the North Korean nuclear threat.

23 killed in feud between families in south Egypt

LUXOR: A bloody feud in southern Egypt between an Arab

clan and a Nubian family killed at least 23 people in two  

days of fighting, leaving bodies strewn on hospital floors and homes torched in its wake, government officials and witnesses said Saturday. An Interior Ministry statement said the fighting in Aswan province erupted over the harassment of a girl and students from the two sides later spray offensive graffiti at local school.

Vendetta killings are common in southern Egypt, where perceived violations of honor often spark violence, but this violence apparently raged while security forces did nothing to stop it. Nubian students´ graffiti accused members of the Arab Haleyla clan of working for the former governments of ousted President Hosni Mubarak and overthrown Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, witnesses said.

They said offensive graffiti sprayed earlier this week on the school wall accused the Nubians of backing the military after a community delegation met former military chief Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi. El-Sissi, who led the military overthrow of Morsi, is now running for president.

A security official also said tensions come from accusations that some Arab Heleyla members take part in an arm and drugs smuggling ring. Aswan is a way station for a smuggling ring from Sudan. The official spoke on condition of anonymity as he wasn´t authorized to speak to journalists.

  A Nubian resident who asked not to use his name for fear of retribution said he locked himself and his family inside their house, fearing revenge attacks. He said two members of his family were killed in the fighting."There is terror now in the area," he said. "At the outset, we´d call the police and they tell us, ´You work it out.

´"Footage from the area on social media that appeared consistent with Associated Press reporting showed school children pelting a rival group, despite the presence of an armored police vehicle before the bloodshed/

$1.5M Hotel Bill for President Obama’s One-Day Visit to Brussels

In late March, President Obama took a week-long trip through Europe which included a stop of less than 24 hours in Brussels, Belgium for meetings with the European Union and NATO. The president stayed at The Hotel, a twenty-seven story hotel in the center of the city. The estimated cost for the president’s stay, including about two weeks for an advance team, was $1,522,646.36.


 Mitt Romney Says Obama Has “Faulty Judgment”

A quick comparison between the two candidates for president and 2012 and their statements and predictions about geopolitical affairs will inevitably lead to the conclusion that one was right about just about everything and the other was wrong about just about everything.
Mitt Romney correctly stated that Russia is our greatest geopolitical foe and was mocked for it by Obama.  He was right in 2012, but in 2014 events have shown that he was more correct than we thought at the time, as even liberals are admitting.  Perhaps Obama would be more informed about world affairs if he didn’t skip so many national security staff meetings.
Since the election, Mitt Romney has been a vocal critic of the president, going after him for his “failed leadership” and “naivete” on Russia and his getting outperformed by Putin on the world stage.  He recently said that Obama showed “faulty judgment” by failing to analyze the situation with Russia correctly.

Poll: Sarah Palin tops list of women Americans want to run for president

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the darling of the Tea Party movement, tops a new list of women other than Hillary Clinton who Americans want to run for president.
A series of Economist/YouGov polls, wrapped up in an article released this week, found overwhelming support for women candidates and a woman president, and has Palin on top of eight women most often mentioned by voters as their top choice to run.
Because Clinton is the runaway favorite potential woman candidate in a number of polls, the Economist/YouGov poll asked this question: “Other than Hillary Clinton, is their any other woman you would want to run for president either in 2016 or 2020?”

Muslim Brotherhood mobilizes to elect Democrats

The terrorist front group known as "The Muslim Brotherhood," which has relentlessly infiltrated every level of Obama's incredibly treasonous administration (see here, here, here, here, here, and here) has set the stage for the creation of an official U.S. political party with the stated goal of mobilizing and uniting Muslim voters against American interests. The idea, according to Nihad Awad, of the U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations, is to turn Sharia-supporting Islamists in the US into critical "swing voters in 2016" and beyond.

Series of small earthquakes rock Oklahoma in record seismic activity

(Reuters) - Earthquakes rattled residents in Oklahoma on Saturday, the latest in a series that have put the state on track for record quake activity this year, which some seismologists say may be tied to oil and gas exploration.

One earthquake recorded at 3.8 magnitude by the U.S. Geological Survey rocked houses in several communities around central Oklahoma at 7:42 a.m. local time. Another about two hours earlier in the same part of the state, north of Oklahoma City, was recorded at 2.9 magnitude, USGS said.

Those two were preceded by two more, at 2.6 magnitude, and 2.5 magnitude, that also rolled the landscape in central Oklahoma early Saturday morning. A 3.0 magnitude tremor struck late Friday night in that area as well, following a 3.4 magnitude hit Friday afternoon.

Austin Holland, a seismologist with the Oklahoma Geological Survey who tracks earthquake activity for the USGS, said the earthquake activity in the state is soaring.

"We have had almost as many magnitude 3 and greater already in 2014 than we did for all of 2013," Holland said.

Last year's number of "felt" earthquakes - those strong enough to rattle items on a shelf - hit a record 222 in the state. This year, less than four months into the year, the state has recorded 253 such tremors, according to state seismic data.

"We have already crushed last year's record for number of earthquakes," Holland said.
Most earthquakes occur naturally. But scientists have long linked some small earthquakes to oil and gas work underground, which can alter pressure points and cause shifts in the earth.
Oil and gas exploration has increased in recent years across the country, spurred by U.S. efforts for energy independence. Modern hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is one particularly controversial technique.
For bigger quakes, so far this year the state has recorded 106 at 3.0 magnitude and above, according to Holland. For all of last year the state had 109 at 3.0 and above.
In November 2011, Oklahoma suffered a 5.6 magnitude quake that damaged more than a dozen homes and several businesses.

Wastewater disposal related to the fracking is suspected by many scientists to contribute to the earthquake activity. Millions of gallons of wastewater are typically trucked from a fracking site to wells where the water is injected thousands of feet underground into porous rock layers. That work, if done near a fault, can trigger larger quakes, according to several recent scientific studies.

Oklahoma recorded 278 earthquakes from 2008 through 2013 that have registered on the Richter scale at a magnitude of 3.0 or greater, a level that can shake objects inside a home.

Before that, from 1975-2008, the state on average recorded less than six earthquakes a year.

U.S. Navy testing more sophisticated pilotless helicopters

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The helicopter kicked up a cloud of freshly fallen snow that partly obscured the ground below, but despite the poor visibility, it gently touched down in a landing that was unremarkable except for the fact no one was at the controls.
The helicopter, filmed during testing by the Naval Research Laboratory, was piloted by a 100-pound (45-kg) sensor and software package that officials said can turn any rotary-winged aircraft into a virtually autonomous drone able to fly with minimal input from the Marine Corps troops it was designed to serve.

Rear Admiral Matthew Klunder, chief of Naval Research, said the sensor and software pack is "truly leap-ahead technology" that will let a Marine with no flight experience issue landing instructions to a cargo helicopter via tablet computer after just a few minutes of training.

Klunder, who will preview the technology for industry and military leaders at a conference in Washington on Tuesday, said the aim of the project was to give troops a simple tool for battlefield resupply, reducing the casualties inherent in using ground convoys to deliver food, water and weapons.

An Army study of data from 2003 to 2007 showed that one person was killed or wounded for every 24 fuel resupply convoys in Afghanistan and one was killed or wounded for every 29 water resupply convoys.

Kathleen Wynne sues Tim Hudak, MPP Lisa MacLeod and PC party

Premier Kathleen Wynne is following through with a threat to sue Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak ‎for saying she "oversaw and possibly ordered the criminal destruction of documents."

A notice of libel was sent to Hudak, his party and MPP Lisa MacLeod (Nepean-Carleton) Friday afternoon after their refusal to back down from the controversial comments about deleted emails in the $1.1-billion gas plants scandal as requested by the premier last Sunday, Wynne's office said.

"Premier Wynne gave the opportunity for Mr. Hudak to pull back from his statements. Unfortunately, he did not," Wynne spokeswoman Zita Astravas said Friday night.

Despite the notice of libel, the premier's office was unable to disclose what damages are being sought, if any, in the legal action being quarterbacked by Mark Freiman — a former deputy attorney general — now with the law firm Lerners LLP.

Wynne was attending the Blue Jays home opener Friday night.

‎Hudak's office had no comment but MacLeod, who was also critical of Wynne, tweeted, "Oh dear."

Earlier this week, MacLeod said, "I won't be muzzled, nor will my leader" in criticism over the bombshell revelation that Ontario Provincial Police are investigating former premier Dalton McGuinty's deputy chief of staff, David Livingston, for breach of trust in the alleged wiping of computer hard drives to delete politically sensitive documents.

Livingston, through his lawyer, has denied any wrongdoing.

Police have not disclosed any evidence hard drives were wiped under Wynne's premiership but are doing a forensic examination of computers seized from the premier's office from the time of the McGuinty-Wynne transition.

Police have said Wynne herself is not a suspect.

Province cancels Redford security contract with Calgary Police

With the departure of Alison Redford from the premier’s office, city police are no longer providing security for the premier within Calgary.
Alberta sheriffs have traditionally provided the security detail for Alberta’s premiers throughout the province.
But in early 2013, the Calgary Police Service was approached by Redford’s office to provide ongoing protection in the city.
Premier Dave Hancock — who took over for Redford after her recent resignation — confirmed Friday that the contract with Calgary police has been cancelled and the sheriffs were once again on the job.
He did not provide a reason and declined to say why Calgary cops had begun providing security for Redford in the first place.
“I can tell you this, decisions about security are made by security,” Hancock said in a news conference announcing funding for victims services organizations.
The cost of paying Calgary police to provide security for Redford has not been provided.

Woman shot dead in Lachine was a wanted drug ‘queen-pin’ in U.S.

MONTREAL — The woman found shot in the head on a street in Lachine last month has finally been identified as an American wanted on drug and money-laundering charges.
Elizabeth Barrer, 32, was found slumped in the passenger seat of a rented Nissan at 10:10 p.m. on March 19, on du Pacific Ave., in the former Ville St-Pierre area of Lachine. She was taken to a hospital, where she died a short while later.
She had no valid identification papers with her at the time of her death and the car had been rented under another name, adding to the difficulty of figuring out who she was.
Barrer had been wanted for at least seven years in Spotsylvania County, Va., for drug trafficking and distribution.
"Yes, I can confirm that it (the body found in Lachine) is the same person we had opened an investigation on" in 2007, captain Jeff Pearce of the Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office said on Friday, when asked whether he could confirm the body found in Lachine on March 19 is Barrer.
"We are collaborating with Canadian authorities and the U.S. Marshals Service, but we are not releasing any additional information," he said.
He confirmed that Barrer was wanted on narcotics-related charges and that the case is being handled by the county's special investigations unit.
The circumstances surrounding Barrer's death have sparked a new joint investigation involving Spotsylvania investigators, the U.S. Marshals Service and Montreal police, he said.
