plans launch of its own 'Supreme Court' for
handling takedown appeals | 18 Sept 2019 |
Facebook, which has managed to transcend
geographic borders to draw in a population equal
to roughly a third of all human life on Earth,
has made its final charter for a "Supreme Court"
of Facebook public. The company pledges to launch
this initiative by November of next year. The new
Oversight Board
<https://fbnewsroomus.files.wordpress.com/2019/09/letter-from-mark-zuckerberg-on-oversight-board-charter.pdf>will
have five key powers, according to a
<https://fbnewsroomus.files.wordpress.com/2019/09/oversight_board_charter.pdf>charter
Facebook released yesterday. It can "request that
Facebook provide information" it needs in a
timely manner; it can make interpretations of
Facebook standards and guidelines "in light of
Facebook's articulated values"; and it can
instruct the company to allow or remove content,
to uphold or reverse a decision leading to
content being permitted or removed, and to issue
"prompt, written explanations of the board's decisions."

Wednesday night also injured 40 people after
accidentally targeting farmers and laborers who
had just finished collecting pine nuts at
mountainous Wazir Tangi in eastern Nangarhar
province, three Afghan officials told Reuters.
"The workers had lit a bonfire and were sitting
together when a drone targeted them," tribal
elder Malik Rahat Gul told Reuters by telephone from Wazir Tangi.

oil attacks an 'act of war' by Iran, not Yemen
rebels, Pompeo claims | 18 Sept 2019 | U.S.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday
doubled down on accusations Iran is responsible
for the weekend bombing on Saudi Arabia's oil
facilities, telling reporters that the strike was
"an act of war." Pompeo, speaking from Jeddah,
Saudi Arabia, added that even if the "fraudulent
claims" of responsibility by the Yemen Houthi
rebels were true, "it doesn't change the
fingerprints of the Ayatollah as having put at
risk the global energy supply." His comments come
hours after President Trump tweeted that he had
ordered Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to
"substantially increase sanctions" on Iran, amid
escalating tensions between the two countries.

strikes on oil facilities were Yemen's
'reciprocal response' for Saudi bombings –
Rouhani | 16 Sept 2019 | Iranian President Hassan
Rouhani said recent drone attacks on Saudi oil
infrastructure were a proportionate Yemeni
response to years of daily bombings carried out
by a Saudi-led coalition. Speaking to reporters
in Ankara following three-way talks between the
presidents of Turkey, Russia and Iran, Rouhani
suggested the drone attacks were a legitimate act
of self-defense. "On a daily basis Yemen is being
bombarded and innocent civilians are dying...so
they have to retaliate," Rouhani explained.

Arabia accuses Iran of sponsoring oil-plant
attack, says it 'couldn't have originated in
Yemen' | 18 Sept 2019 | Saudi Arabia has claimed
that Iran was behind attacks on its oil treatment
facilities, presenting wreckage of drones and
missiles as 'definitive proof' of Tehran's
involvement. Speaking to the press on Wednesday,
a spokesman for the Saudi Ministry of Defense
displayed what he said was wreckage from the
projectiles used in the strikes on petrol plants
in Abqaiq and Khurais last weekend. The type of
weapons used proved that the assault "could not
have originated in Yemen," Colonel Turki al-Malki
claimed. [Right, it likely originated in Saudi
Arabia. A false flag to drag the US into another
war in the Middle East, at the behest of the Deep State.]

Wednesday announced he intends to name the
administration's envoy for hostage negotiations,
Robert O'Brien, as his next national security
adviser. "I have worked long & hard with Robert.
He will do a great job!" Trump tweeted. O'Brien

resigned from President Donald Trump's
administration on Wednesday, departing the White
House a day after the former national security
adviser left amid disputes with the president
over a range of policy issues. Garrett Marquis

Council's press operation as senior directors for
strategic communications, worked their last day
at the White House on Tuesday, according to two

anonymity to discuss personnel matters. Christine
Samuelian, who served as Bolton's personal
assistant, also opted to depart the White House,
according to one person familiar with the matter.

Alleging NDA Violation | 17 Sept 2019 | The DOJ
alleges Snowden breached secrecy agreements
signed in connection with his work for the CIA
and NSA. President Donald Trump's Department of
Justice didn't try to stop Edward Snowden's book
Permanent Record from being released Tuesday --
but it still sued him over it. Snowden's memoir,
according to its preface, is an explanation of
how he came to become a notorious whistleblower
who has spent nearly a decade in exile after
leaking classified documents about government
surveillance operations. According to the
complaint, which was filed Tuesday in Virginia
federal court, Snowden's work for the CIA and NSA
required secrecy agreements. The DOJ argues that
he violated his "non-disclosure obligations to
the United States" by not handing over the book
for review before it was published.

has ordered Julian Assange to remain in prison
indefinitely while awaiting extradition to the US
because of his "history of absconding." The
WikiLeaks founder was due to be released on
September 22 after serving his sentence for
breaching bail conditions when he sought refuge
in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. Assange
spent almost seven years inside the embassy. On

there were "substantial grounds" for believing he
would flee if released from prison.

at historic juncture:' Netanyahu refuses to
concede as Gantz claims 'mission accomplished' |
18 Sept 2019 | Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu vowed to fight on even as exit polls
showed him tied or lagging behind his main
opposition rival, with a slim chance of
assembling the coalition needed for a fifth term.
"We won't have and can't have a government
dependent on anti-Zionist Arab parties,"
Netanyahu proclaimed as the crowd of his
supporters booed and chanted 'we don't want
unity.' The embattled PM stopped short of
claiming a victory - or conceding his defeat -
saying instead "we are waiting for the real
results. One thing is clear: Israel is at a historic juncture."

Sept 2019 | Facebook has sanctioned Benjamin
Netanyahu’s official page, after a post called on
voters to oppose a government composed of "Arabs
who want to destroy us all -- women, children and
men." The social media company said the post
violated its hate speech policy. Facebook
consequently disabled the page's automatic chat
function for 24 hours. The Israeli prime minister
has denied writing the post. In an interview with
Kan Reshet Bet radio, Mr Netanyahu suggested that
a staffer's mistake was responsible.

Airlines mechanic accused of sabotaging jet may
have terrorist ties, feds say | 19 Sept 2019 | An
American Airlines mechanic accused of sabotaging
a navigation system on a flight with 150 people
aboard at Miami International Airport was denied
bond by a federal judge on Wednesday after
prosecutors suggested he may have links to a
Middle East terrorist organization. Abdul-Majeed
Marouf Ahmed Alani, a 60-year-old veteran
employee, told investigators after his arrest
earlier this month that he disabled the system
because he was upset over stalled union contract
negotiations with the airline and wanted to
generate some overtime for maintenance on the
plane. He said he meant no harm to anyone, and
the July 17 flight was aborted before takeoff
after an error alert appeared on the navigation
system. But federal prosecutors revealed new
information about possible motives that prompted
Magistrate Judge Chris McAliley to keep Alani
behind bars, ruling that he posed a danger to the community and a flight risk.

guilty in the only criminal trial over the
Fukushima nuclear disaster, a woman's voice cut

"Unbelievable!" More than eight years after the

Japanese court on Thursday ruled that three
former executives for Tokyo Electric Power Co

ruling by the Tokyo District Court ended the only

appeal the decision. A group of their supporters
stood outside the court Thursday with placards reading "unjust sentence."

high school teacher is under investigation after
reportedly making threatening comments to a class
of students, saying the vice president should be
shot. The Cuthbertson High School teacher called
out VP Mike Pence while he was visiting NC,

Horowitz's disclosure that he made the criminal
referral marks his first public statement about
the criticism lodged against Mr. Comey in a

Democrats clashed with a combative Corey
Lewandowski, trading insults and accusations with
the former Trump campaign manager, who refused to

his "behavior in this hearing room has been

voters oppose 'surprise' medical bill
legislation, Trump pollster warns | 17 Sept 2019
| President Trump's campaign pollster is warning
that swing-state voters oppose a bipartisan bill
meant to protect patients from "surprise" medical
bills they receive when going out of network for
emergency care, according to a polling memo
obtained exclusively by The Hill. A survey of
voters in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania
conducted by Tony Fabrizio, the president's
campaign pollster, found that a majority of
voters in three battleground states believe that
health insurers should be on the hook when
patients receive "surprise" medical bills for
out-of-network emergencies. "Swing state voters
see Surprise Medical Billing as a major problem
and siding with Insurers who look to sidestep
paying these bills is crossways with overwhelming
voter sentiment," Fabrizio wrote in the polling memo.

Professor: Correct English Grammar Is 'Racist'
--'Professor' is also the director of the
university's writing center | 11 Sept 2019 |
American University (Washington, D.C.) has hired
a professor to teach other professors to grade
students based on their "labor" rather than their
writing ability. The professor that American
University hired to teach [this insanity] is Asao
B. Inoue, who is a professor at the University of
Washington in Tacoma in interdisciplinary arts
and sciences. He is also the director of the
university's writing center. Inoue believes that
a person's writing ability should not be
assessed, in order to promote "anti-racist"
objectives. Inoue taught American University's
faculty members that their previous practices of
grading writing promoted white language supremacy.

tells schoolchildren there are 'over 100' genders
| 13 Sept 2019 | The British Broadcasting Company
(BBC) tells primary schoolchildren that there are
over 100 genders as part of its
"<https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach>Teach" video
series, which has some concerned parents and
observers up in arms. "You know, there are so
many gender identities," declares the head
teacher in response to child's question. "We know
that we have got male and female, but there are
over 100, if not more, gender identities now."
...Telegraph columnist Celia Walden has written a
scathing
<https://premium.telegraph.co.uk/newsletter/article3/how-dare-the-bbc-teach-children-that-there-are-100-genders/>review
of the program, which she calls "noxious
nonsense" that poisons children's minds, a
product of the modern "Emperor's New Clothes gender diversity narrative."

deaths linked to Imelda as hundreds flooded
throughout Southeast Texas | 19 Sept 2019 | Heavy
rainfall from now-downgraded Imelda wreaked havoc
Thursday for much of Southeast Texas, where
officials are dealing with impassable roadways,
downed trees, power outages, hundreds of
high-water rescues and in one small town, a
hospital evacuation. At least two deaths have
been linked to the storm...The same storm that
pummeled areas in Chambers County overnight
Wednesday, dumping nearly two dozen inches of
rain in the community of Winnie, briefly
intensified closer to Houston later in the
morning, apparently surprising many who thought the worst was over.

| The government of the Bahamas has
<https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCPAT4+shtml/122345.shtml>issued
a tropical storm warning for northwestern
Bahamas, according to the National Hurricane

decimated earlier this month when Hurricane
Dorian swept through the region as a monster
Category 5 storm, killing at least 50 people. The
Abacos, Berry Islands, Bimini, Eleuthera, Grand
Bahama Island and New Providence can expect
tropical storm conditions sometime within the next 36 hours, NHC said.

Please consider seriously the reason why these elite institutions are not discussed in the mainstream press despite the immense financial and political power they wield?
There are sick and evil occultists running the Western World. They are power mad lunatics like something from a kids cartoon with their fingers on the nuclear button! Armageddon is closer than you thought. Only God can save our souls from their clutches, at least that's my considered opinion - Tony
