Since the moment the US pulled out of the Iran Nuclear Deal, an action which it now seems the rest of the world is openly against, Israel has been aggressively attacking Syria and predominately targeting Iranian locations. This is far from the first time Israel has illegally attacked Syria, as it has been carrying out unprovoked attacks in the region for some time now, with no military response from either Iran or Syria. Now we have Syria choosing to defend itself against these Israeli hostilities, and absurdly, Israel is claiming that it is the one under attack and using this as an excuse to step up the unjustified and illegal bombing campaign that has already been underway. 

As if this wasn’t ludicrous and transparent enough, the area Israel claims to be “defending” is the Golan Heights, which is a widely recognized Syrian territory that has been illegally occupied by Israel due to it being rich in both oil and water reserves. Worse yet, the US came out just today siding with “Israel’s right to self-defense” showing yet again how willing the Trump administration is to disregard the facts in order to support, and turn a blind eye to, Israel’s illegal and war-mongering actions; just as Israel does to those of the US in return.

Up until very recently, this event had gone completely unaddressed by the mainstream channels; but as of today,

Welcome to The Daily Wrap Up, a concise show dedicated to bringing you the most relevant independent news, as we see it, from the last 24 hours (5/8/18).

The US has officially withdrawn from the JCPOA, the Iranian nuclear deal, and subsequently levied “the highest level” of economic sanctions on Iran. Trump stated that anyone who helps them to move forward with what was in all actuality their civilian nuclear energy program, will also be targeted by US sanctions. 

Trump went on to reassert the same tired and verifiably false claim that Iran is the “leading state sponsor of terror.” He also accused Iran of funded terrorist proxies to carry out its agendas around the world… now who does that sound like? Trump claimed that Iran was “plundering the wealth of its own people” … again, is he talking about Iran or reading from a US to-do list?

Trump goes on to state that Iran has “continued to enrich uranium,” as if to imply that such an act is not allowed within the current deal, and this is intentionally meant to manipulate those who do not understand all the ins and outs of the current agreement. There is a major difference between a nuclear military program and a civilian nuclear energy program, both which require enriching uranium. Doing so for the energy program, which the IAEA verified was the case in Iran, was perfectly allowed within the parameters of the Iran deal. So this was a blatant attempt to mislead those unaware of that fact in order to muster support for this move.

The most shocking aspect (at least to me) of Trump’s overwhelmingly propagandized speech was when he claimed to have “definitive proof” that Iran was working toward a nuclear weapons program — and then referenced Israel’s fake “proof.” Trump did this even though the US already backtracked on supporting those claims, going as far as to delete their tweet in this regard, and changed their press release claiming it was a “clerical error.” Yet, here he is saying it is now definitive. Are they really this bad at what they are doing? I just find that hard to believe.

Trump’s entire speech, as usual, was chock full of words meant to invoke an emotional response; because this was not about facts and the truth, it was about manufacturing support for yet another unjustified regime change. That of course is done with programmed moral outrage and outright lies, as we have seen many times in this nation’s history. Next was a laughably disingenuous message to “the long suffering people of Iran,

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. – Aristotle

To begin today, I wanted to reassert a point that I and many others have made many times in the past, and a one that feels like it should not need to be pointed out. It is something that is important to always keep on the mind, especially today with all the intense efforts to manipulate; I remind myself of it on almost a daily basis. It is incredibly important for us all to always keep an open mind, as even things we may think we know, for one reason or another, might just be false; and if history is any guide, it is actually more than likely that almost all of what we think we know, is at the very least incomplete. To dismiss anything offhand, without always being able to consider the very real possibility that you might be the one holding the false belief, regardless of how certain you may feel, will ensure that you remain stagnant, while the world evolves with or without you.

NSA Spied On 534 Million US Calls In 2017, Up Sharply From 2016

This is a perfect example of a fact that was at one point in our very recent past deemed a wild-eyed conspiracy theory, right up until the point that the NSA admitted to as much; and despite Edward Snowden revealing the truth, many maintained it was false nonetheless. The human mind’s ability to dismiss what it does not want to believe is true, is uncanny. 

This is a blatant violation of our inherent, supposedly inalienable rights, under the guise of our protection. And the problem is only getting worse, as the masses seemingly become desensitized to what is really going on. 

As Ron Paul Puts it:

According to the annual report the US government intercepted and stored information from more than a half-billion of our telephone calls and text messages in 2017. That is a 300 percent increase from 2016. All of these intercepts were “legal” under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which is ironic because FISA was enacted to curtail the Nixon-era abuse of surveillance on American citizens.

Speaking of FISA, remember the FISA memo? That memo that was supposed to be the bombshell that brought down the deep state, or shatter the very foundation of our so-called democracy, depending on which side of the false two-party deception you chose to listen to? Yeah, neither do most Americans. Despite all the verified crimes of the FBI and others within this case, not one person has yet to be held accountable. I just figured I would reiterate that point, yet again. And it just goes to show you that terms like “National Security” — which was thrown around in regard to the FISA memo,

Author’s Note: Apologies for the delay in getting yesterday’s video up, there were many unforeseen “complications” with both the recording and the services used, I was essentially forced to re-record almost the entire video due to unexplainable “errors” during the process. It was quite ironic that one of the main points of the show was about how the establishment’s efforts to suppress our voices will no doubt increase, in every way, as we continue to succeed in awakening minds to the truth … and then my content was subjected to a barrage of multifaceted problems that seemed to have no discernible explanation. As always, it could very well have been simply a perfectly timed combination of multiple errors just as the recording came to an end, but I think you all know where my mind tends to go with these “coincidences.” Regardless, I will never allow such inconveniences to stop my efforts, so please enjoy yesterday’s show.

One of the main reasons I feel hopeful more often than not, is because of how many lies are being exposed, how many true intentions are being laid bare — despite the efforts of the war hungry establishment aggressively ramping up its efforts — and the fact that more are beginning to ask questions then ever before. Whether those are the right questions is another debate entirely, but it is not hard to see just how many steps we have taken in the direction of honest to God truth, just in recent years.

This should not be taken as an advocation for Donald Trump or his administration, in any way, as I think his (s)election and the rise of the many varied false alt-news outlets, are a clear sign of just how much progress we are making and how much fear we are eliciting in the opposition, as those are the attempts to pull us back into the lies. To a certain degree it worked, especially in regard to the 2016 election. But even for many of those swept up by all the “America First” talk, possibly even Donald Trump himself, it is becoming next to impossible to hide just how contrary the current US policies, both foreign and domestic, are to anything resembling America First.

It is for this reason, and the steadfast efforts of the independent media to expose it, that many are once again beginning to see thought the veil of deception. Which is why, as I said a few times in recent shows, it is more important than ever to get out there, in your own circles, and gently drop these seeds to help guide the way for those being lured by fake alt-media promises of false certainly and open-ended claims of impending solutions that never truly materialize. As we see this establishment fear begin to manifest in open censorship and suppression of voices telling you to think for yourself and question the government narratives, it is paramount that you get out there and show your support for the sources you feel promot...

Well a lot has happened in the one day I missed while finishing my move into the new office. I often point out how the most important news is glaringly absent from most mainstream channels, but never has there been a day where that is more apparent … well, I take that back, I am sure there are plenty of days where it’s this obvious, but today is certainly one of those days.

While we see distraction discussion of Trump’s doctors and Stormy Daniels, open attacks are being carried out on Syria, and war between Israel and Iran is on the verge of breaking out, the US presence in Syria is only emboldening despite claims to the opposite, we have cancer causing chemicals in all of our food, radiation in our water and milk from Fukushima, as it is deemed worse than Chernobyl, and governments literally killing children. And no, I do not mean drone bombings, which are all too common and frustratingly ignored and dismissed by far too many as just another part of war — except that they tell us we are not at war, yet. All this, and none of it can be seen on Fox, on CNN, on MSNBC, any of it.

Massive Fireballs Light Up Syrian Sky After Israeli Strike; “Dozens” Of Iranian Soldiers Reportedly Killed

Originally a journalist reporting from on the ground in Syria reported on an official military source as saying “a hostile foreign attack took place at locations in Hama and Aleppo at 10:30 local time” on the night of the 29th, “mainly targeting locations/positions with a strong presence of Iranian backed militias,” with initial reports of mass injuries and casualties.

Footage of the strike that was uploaded was apparently so big it could be seen for miles, and that the airstrikes “caused an earthquake measuring 2.

Welcome to The Daily Wrap Up, a concise show dedicated to bringing you the most relevant independent news, as we see it, from the last 24 hours (4/29/18).

One thing that has increasingly stood out to me over the last few weeks, and became glaringly obvious following the exposure of the US lies regarding Syria (past and present, but in particular the most recent events), was that those who choose to watch a mainstream outlet as their sole source of information are not just ignoring certain stories under the assumption that they are fake news or some other such ridiculous catch-all dismal, but are completely unaware of certain key events. Now this is likely not groundbreaking insight for most who frequent this site, but even I was shocked at the extent to which this went. Specifically, this stood out to me in regard to the recent OPCW investigation in Douma, Syria. 

We have covered the fact that their investigation was hindered at every turn, and that the mainstream media was quick to point the finger at Syria and Russia, exclaiming that they simply did not want the investigation to be carried out (the one they requested by the way) so they were doing all they could to stop it; and of course they had absolutely no evidence this was the case — but nothing new there.

 

(function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:9922211435978342,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-1522-2713"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="//cdn2.lockerdomecdn.com/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs");

Then it was revealed that this was all another lie, and it was in fact the United Nations Department for Safety and Security who were in fact stalling the investigation under false claims of “safety concerns” while independent journalists came and went without any issue, all finding the same thing the OPCW did, nothing. Or more to the point, everything. The OPCW found that there was no evidence of chemical weapons at the sites of the US bombings, that were supposedly the source of the chemicals used in the alleged attack; which we now see was a false flag carried out by the White Helmets and other associated US-backed terrorists groups. 

Yet, even while this was being spread like wildfire around the Internet, and while the OPCW held a briefing to

As the verdict of Bill Cosby is plastered to every front page, and the mainstream channels give it all they got to make everyone think … “this is what’s most important today, out of all that is going on in the world, this is what you should be paying attention to … pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.”

This is a perfect example of how they latch on to this type of smut tabloid news that is ultimately inconsequential to the vast majority, yet present it to you as the biggest story of the day. Partly because this is what sells, at least to its apathetic and mindless base, and I shouldn’t have to point out that their job is not to present what sells, but to give you what is most important (you know the news); but most importantly, they do this in hopes that you will either ignore or simply not see important stories such as the recent OPCW briefing at the Hague, wherein the US lies surrounding both the staged chemical attack in Syria, and the subsequent US-led bombing on what they claimed were chemical weapons factories. 

 

(function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:9922211435978342,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-1522-2713"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="//cdn2.lockerdomecdn.com/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs");

However, I truly feel that many are shifting away from the forceful and increasingly transparent mainstream group-think. And the western media’s over the top efforts of late have been an attempt to get people back on the blindly-follow-the-government-narrative page, with accusations of being a “conspiracy theorists,” or being “un-American” all for challenging “the plan;” and most aggressively, the effort to present what they are selling as The Majority.

I sincerely doubt that such a mainstream majority is the case any longer, as many of you know, I have felt that way for a long time. This false majority being presented is designed to scare peo...

Welcome to The Daily Wrap Up, a concise show dedicated to bringing you the most relevant independent news, as we see it, from the last 24 hours (4/25/18).

Well the mainstream media is pumping out everything they can to keep the American public from focusing on the truth. The largest truth, or rather largest lie exposed, in addition to the mainstream Syria narrative collapsing, is that the OPCW just told Russia that it found no evidence of chemical weapons at the site of the US bombing. This demolishes yet another lie around the recent events in Syria — which is likely why the UN was doing all it could to keep the OPCW away under false security concerns, even while independent journalists came and went. 

One of the most absurd ways in which the corporate media has tried to create a scandal out of thin air in order to distract from this embarrassment, was in regard to Trump’s pick to head the VA. The absolute absurdity of crying foul about a doctor, in America, casually handing out medications, like that is uncommon in any way, is simply ridiculous. I am not even trying to take a side on whether he is a good pick or whether his doling out of pharmaceuticals is wrong — I think most are well aware of my general disgust for pharmaceuticals — I am simply pointing out how farcical it is for the media to show such moral outrage when the entirety of this country takes pills on a regular basis (and even not as prescribed… my goodness). I hope you can pick up my sarcasm here, because the point is, all of these news anchor puppets were likely on one pill or another while recoiling in shock to this very story; and this disingenuous and hypocritical stance on one man’s appointment was all to take your attention away from what matters.

 

(function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:9922211435978342,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-1522-2713"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="//cdn2.lockerdomecdn.com/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs");

I really is ridiculous, but they know it’s ridiculous. As I have pointed out many times in the past, it’s not their choice. It’s not like these news anchors are out there drumming up leads and investigating claims, or anyone in their organization for that matter. No, they are patiently awaiting the government-mandated discussion points handed down from their puppet masters so they will know what they are supposed to say, how they are supposed to say it, and what level of fake outrage they are supposed to express. Even the least important story within the video below is monumentally more important than just about every story on their front page. Yet I would imagine most of you know that by now, but it’s fun and necessary to point out sometimes. And hopefully, it catches the eye of that one viewer who was sent this article by a loving friend… who just desperately wants you see what is glaringly obvious to the rest of us.

Welcome to The Daily Wrap Up, a concise show dedicated to bringing you the most relevant independent news, as we see it, from the last 24 hours (4/24/18).

As everyone struggles to make sense of all the information flying around today, from the independent media attempts to show you what is actually going on, to the embarrassingly obvious mainstream media attempts to distract you from that truth with fake events, gossip, conjecture and petty political rivalries dressed up as news — even the false alt-media groups who pretend to have all the answers yet are put there just in case you wake up enough to see through the mainstream lies, grabbing you with promises of inside information and absolute certainty — we need to remember how different the world felt not a decade ago. To some degree that is because some of this was simply not recognized by as many people at that point; but mostly this all truly changed with the one specific amendment to the NDAA in 2013 which actually legalized the use of propaganda on the American public.

Now despite myself and many other writing about this many times, most are still unaware that prior to this, the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 made the use of propaganda in the US strictly illegal — although it still happened nonetheless, yet had to be more careful and few and far between. Yet today, the very same manipulative propaganda the US intelligence agencies use overseas is now allowed to be used on you, the American people … for national security of course.

As I pointed out yesterday, in regard to the War Powers Bill, this amendment to the NDAA in 2013 was sold to the public as an attempt at transparency, yet was the exact opposite. Meaning, that news story you saw last night, that could have been completely fake, and that would be 100% legal in the eyes of the US government. So consider that concept as we move further into this modern US world of countering narratives, accusations of fake news, and battling partisan news outlets telling two diametrically opposite stories on the same event. It is not just coincidence that this all intensified right around that time; this was designed to muddy the waters of information and keep you uncertain of whom to trust. Yet I can make that very easy for, trust none of them, not even me. As I say every show, watch a wide variety of differing perspectives and come to your own conclusions.

Army Building “Self-Aware” Squid-Like Robot That Can Be “3-D Printed” During Combat

Welcome to The Daily Wrap Up, a concise show dedicated to bringing you the most relevant independent news, as we see it, from the last 24 hours (4/23/18).

To begin today I would like to point everyone to two specific articles that perfectly and eloquently encapsulate what I have been trying to get across over the last few weeks, and even in yesterday’s show, and as always I highly suggest you read them both for yourself.

MSM Is Frantically Attacking Dissenting Syria Narratives, And It Looks Really Bad

The Truth About The Syria Chemical Attacks – No Evidence of Assad Chem Weapons, Western False Flag Seems Likely

Today’s show also has a couple of followup stories; one in-particular which I still maintain is, at the very least, being kept in the forefront of the mainstream news in order to keep attention away from the collapsing of both the Syria chemical weapons attack narrative, as well as their embarrassingly obvious overdone effort to cover it up and paint anyone expressing even the slightest bit of criticism as Russian bots, or some other such ridiculous catchall. One important story discussed in the video below however, is getting largely overshadowed by everything else and it most definitely deserves your attention. That is the new War Powers Bill that is being presented as if it is some sort of solution to the seemingly endless state of war this country is in, when in fact it is the exact opposite.

The Senate’s New War Powers Bill Actually Expands Perpetual War

A new authorization for the use of military force (AUMF) proposed by Democratic and Republican senators would further entrench the United States in endless war. It would also streamline the ability of President Donald Trump and future presidents to expand the “war on terrorism” to additional countries and broaden a list of “associated forces” that are “co-belligerents” of al-Qaida, the Taliban, or the Islamic State (all groups of which the US has hypocritically been shown to either work with, aid, or outright support over the year, and in many cases even involved in its creation) The proposed AUMF effectively cements Congress as the war clerk for the Executive Branch,
