newswars--2020-08-04--Covid House of Cards Collapsing: Fauci Called Out Over Vaccine Royalties

Dr. Anthony Fauci , who ’ s been promoting a promised Covid-19 vaccine , owns half the patent to a vaccine and would gain millions from royalties , according to Robert Kennedy Jr. Kennedy Jr. , a skeptic of the vaccine industry due to its unprecedented legal immunity , pointed out that Fauci has a financial stake in a potential Covid-19 vaccine .
“ The problem is Anthony Fauci put $ 500 million of our dollars into that vaccine , ” he said in a debate with Alan Dershowitz .
“ He owns half the patent.
” “ He and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him were entitled to collect royalties from that.
” Kennedy fears that the money sunk into the vaccine – and the hype – is turning it into a “ vaccine too big to fail.
” “ So you have a corrupt system and now they have a vaccine that is too big to fail , ” he said .
“ And instead of saying this was a terrible , terrible mistake , they are saying we are going to order 2 billion doses of this and you ’ ve got to understand Alan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ playing with house money [ not their own ] .
” If the vaccine doesn ’ t work as intended due to being rushed to production ( among other things ) , the company is shielded from legal liability , Kennedy warned .
“ They ’ re not spending any dime , they have no liability , ” he added .
“ Well if they kill 20 people or 200 people or 2,000 people in their clinical trials , big deal.

newswars--2020-08-04--MSNBC Producer Quits in Scathing Letter: “We Are a Cancer And There Is No Cure”

An MSNBC producer has quit the network , lamenting an editorial process that chases approval and ratings rather than presenting facts .
When even employees label the MSM as a “ cancer with no cure ” , we should all be concerned .
If you were to ask your mother who Ariana Pekary is , more than likely she ’ s not going to know unless she ’ s already met her .
That ’ s because Ariana was a producer at MSNBC .
Although she wasn ’ t someone who ’ d be in front of the camera , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an expert on what goes on behind it .
But now she ’ s left the TV network and , on her exit , wrote an extremely scathing letter about the nature of its programming .
Although she described her colleagues as intelligent people with good intentions , she lamented the way the news has gone , blaming an overemphasis on the chase for ratings as opposed to straight reporting .
Specifically , she stated that it “ forces skilled journalists to make bad decisions on a daily basis.
” And she went @ @ @ @ @ @ @ colleague who described what they were doing as “ a cancer with no cure ” .
Pekary also admitted that fringe voices are constantly given airtime because it boosts those ratings , even if those guests ’ views are divisive and offer little in the way of solutions .
And we ’ ve recently seen two other major figures cite similar problems within the news industry .
On leaving the New York Times , Bari Weiss described a hostile work environment in which her colleagues would much rather ‘ cancel ’ her than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
She even made the extraordinary claim that Twitter has become “ the ultimate editor ” of the New York Times .
This would explain why so much of the Times ’ content seems to cater for Twitter ’ s woke extremists .
Andrew Sullivan , formerly of New York Magazine , had a similar lament .
He spoke of his endless frustration at the lack of diversity of thought : “ If the mainstream media will not host a diversity of opinion , or puts the ‘ moral clarity ’ of some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in reporting , if it treats writers as mere avatars for their race and gender or gender identity , rather than as unique individuals whose identity is largely irrelevant , then the non-mainstream needs to pick up the slack.
” Now , to anyone outside the news sphere , this may not come as a surprise .
We ’ ve seen extreme voices dominate the airwaves for close to a decade .
Often , the arguments presented are purely identitarian , or based on progressive ideology with zero pushback .
It ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , or for some networks to even give space to opposing sides .
There ’ s an air of hyper-partisanship , no matter what network you tune into .
Granted , many news figures are very open about their biases .
At the very least , they have that level of honesty .
I can ’ t recall CNN ’ s Don Lemon denying he ’ s a progressive , for instance .
However , some networks will merely try to make themselves appear fair and balanced in their reporting , when what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
MSNBC and CNN have accused the US leadership of racism over and over again , for example , with zero resistance from anyone on the network .
It appears no middle ground is allowed .
It ’ s unlikely Pekary ’ s decision to leave marks the end of the story .
We ’ ll doubtless see other media figures speak out , because the fact of the matter is that hyper-partisanship is tearing the US to pieces .
The people who rely on these networks and publications to source their news @ @ @ @ @ @ @ may as well be propaganda .
There is a complete lack of responsibility and ethics , and we need more journalists , on either side of the aisle , to step up .
Ultimately , the worst thing you can do is say nothing .
It ’ s reassuring to see principled people standing up for something so simple as diversity of thought .
Hopefully , in the near future , there ’ ll be others as outspoken as Ariana Pekary , Bari Weiss and Andrew Sullivan .
The wellbeing of our media @ @ @ @

newswars--2020-08-04--UN Report Warns North Korea Has Miniaturized Nukes to Fit on Missiles

A confidential UN report on North Korea ’ s compliance with Security Council sanctions says that several nations believe that they have developed miniaturized warheads small enough to fit atop ballistic missiles .

While the range of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 13,000 kilometers , it ’ s unknown how accurate or reliable they are .

North Korea ’ s mission @ @ @ @ @ @ @ did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the U.N. report .
Does this really make North Korea invulnerable ?
Kim Jong-un thinks so .
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said last week there would be no more war as the country ’ s nuclear weapons guarantee its safety and future despite unabated outside pressure and military threats .

In May 2018 North Korea followed through on a pledge to blow up tunnels at its main nuclear test site, Punggye-ri, which Pyongyang said was proof of its commitment to end nuclear testing. But they did not allow experts to witness the dismantlement of the site.
The U.N. report said that as only tunnel entrances were known to have been destroyed and there is no indication of a comprehensive demolition, one country had assessed that North Korea could rebuild and reinstall within three months the infrastructure needed to support a nuclear test.
We are told by nuclear “experts” that this is no big deal, that North Korea and Kim “don’t want to commit suicide” and will therefore not attack the U.S. That very well may be true. It’s not so much the threat that Kim will launch, but rather the unstable nature of the regime and the number of unknowns about North Korea’s highly secretive leadership that makes Kim a wild card.

newswars--2020-08-04--China Won’t Allow Trump To “Steal” TikTok In “Smash & Grab” Deal

During a press briefing at the White House on Monday , President Trump publicly affirmed that he would be fine with Microsoft or some other major American company buying TikTok from ByteDance , despite opposition from White House advisor Pete Navarro , who took to CNN to express his unhappiness with the deal Monday morning .
What came next surprised many of the journalists in attendance .
After insisting that a deal be completed by the mid-September deadline imposed by CFIUS , Trump boasted that the US Treasury would get a “ very large percentage ” of the deal ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would be based on the size of the deal – but it would definitely be substantial .
Trump then launched into an analogy , comparing the US government to a landlord and TikTok to a tenant .
“ We make it possible to have this great success…TikTok is a tremendous success , but it happened in this country.
” To be sure , Trump and the executive branch have unilateral power to cripple TikTok by adding it ( and probably its owner ByteDance ) to the US “ entity ’ s list ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ to which Huawei , and dozens of other Chinese companies , have been added .
Trump ’ s comments , apparently , created an opening for China ’ s propagandists , who in an editorial that has grabbed the attention of the Western press , accused the Trump Administration of blatantly trying to “ steal ” Chinese technology , an act it called a “ smash and grab ” – likening the US to a desperate drug addict breaking into parked cars to try to find something , anything , to steal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ full editorial below , courtesy of the People ’ s Daily : After vowing to ban the popular short-video sharing app TikTok in the United States on Friday , the US president is reportedly weighing the advantages of allowing Microsoft to purchase its US operations .
Such shilly-shallying is a tactic the US administration employed during the trade deal negotiations with China .
The tactic involves the president promising punishment for some perceived wrongdoing , followed by indications from other administration officials that the punishment might not be forthcoming .
This is followed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ president saying that he intends to make good on his threat , sparking a sharp rise in tensions again .
All with the aim of getting what the US administration wants .
So it was par for the course that after the ban on TikTok was proposed and then left hanging , that US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told the media on Sunday morning that the president “ will take action in the coming days with respect to a broad array of national security risks that are presented by software connected to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it is yet to be known how that will work , the message will certainly heighten the concerns of Chinese companies .
As TikTok ’ s experience shows , no matter how unfounded the claims against them are , as long as they remain Chinese companies , they will be presented as being a “ Red threat ” by the administration .
That being said , selling its US operations to Microsoft might be preferable for ByteDance , TikTok ’ s parent company in China , as it is working “ for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the case , the top US diplomat ’ s comments on Sunday were tantamount to inviting potential .
US purchasers to participate in an officially sanctioned “ steal ” of Chinese technology .
Washington is well aware that Beijing will be cautious about retaliating like-for-like as it values foreign investment in China , and the sizable US investment in China is of more importance to the Chinese economy than the much smaller and shrinking Chinese investment is to the US economy .
Also , there is the additional bonus that coercing Chinese companies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enterprises will not incur job losses .
The US administration ’ s bullying of Chinese tech companies stems from data being the new source of wealth and its zero-sum vision of “ American first ” .
With competitiveness now dependent on the ability to collect and use data , it offers an either-or choice of submission or mortal combat in the tech realm .
There are no carrots to promote cooperation only sticks .
But China will by no means accept the “ theft ” of a Chinese technology company , and it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the administration carries out its planned smash and grab .
The People ’ s Daily ’ s demand is ironic , since President Trump ’ s ascendance to the presidency was due in part to his aggressive stance toward China , which he accused of stealing jobs , technology and economic might from the US .
Four years later , China ’ s modus operandi for stealing American technology is well known .
First , there are the “ joint ventures ” that China requires all foreign companies to establish before they can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is clearly designed to give Chinese firms access to valuable American technology as simply the price of doing business .
China ’ s cyberespionage activities , run through the Ministry of State Security , have infiltrated some of the biggest companies in the west .
Sometimes , technology theft is orchestrated by Chinese companies , presumably on behalf of the MSS , like the now-infamous theft by Huawei engineers of “ Tappy ” , a piece of technology developed by a team of engineers at T-Mobile , which figured heavily into a lawsuit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ go on .
But as for what this means for TikTok , the competing pressures from Beijing and Washington might make any deal impossible , particularly within the timeline demanded by the US .
Alex Jones and Reporter Savanah Hernandez discuss what she witnessed during the failed Antifa occupation of downtown Austin .

During a press briefing at the White House on Monday, President Trump publicly affirmed that he would be fine with Microsoft or some other major American company buying TikTok from ByteDance, despite opposition from White House advisor Pete Navarro, who took to CNN to express his unhappiness with the deal Monday morning.

“We make it possible to have this great success…TikTok is a tremendous success, but it happened in this country.”
To be sure, Trump and the executive branch have unilateral power to cripple TikTok by adding it (and probably its owner ByteDance) to the US “entity’s list” – the Commerce Department ‘black list’ to which Huawei, and dozens of other Chinese companies, have been added.
Trump’s comments, apparently, created an opening for China’s propagandists, who in an editorial that has grabbed the attention of the Western press, accused the Trump Administration of blatantly trying to “steal” Chinese technology, an act it called a “smash and grab” – likening the US to a desperate drug addict breaking into parked cars to try to find something, anything, to steal and trade for cash.
Read the full editorial below, courtesy of the People’s Daily:
After vowing to ban the popular short-video sharing app TikTok in the United States on Friday, the US president is reportedly weighing the advantages of allowing Microsoft to purchase its US operations.
Such shilly-shallying is a tactic the US administration employed during the trade deal negotiations with China.
The tactic involves the president promising punishment for some perceived wrongdoing, followed by indications from other administration officials that the punishment might not be forthcoming. This is followed soon after by some close to the president saying that he intends to make good on his threat, sparking a sharp rise in tensions again. All with the aim of getting what the US administration wants.
So it was par for the course that after the ban on TikTok was proposed and then left hanging, that US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told the media on Sunday morning that the president “will take action in the coming days with respect to a broad array of national security risks that are presented by software connected to the Chinese Communist Party”.
Although it is yet to be known how that will work, the message will certainly heighten the concerns of Chinese companies.
As TikTok’s experience shows, no matter how unfounded the claims against them are, as long as they remain Chinese companies, they will be presented as being a “Red threat” by the administration.
That being said, selling its US operations to Microsoft might be preferable for ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company in China, as it is working “for the best outcome”. And that being the case, the top US diplomat’s comments on Sunday were tantamount to inviting potential.
US purchasers to participate in an officially sanctioned “steal” of Chinese technology.
Washington is well aware that Beijing will be cautious about retaliating like-for-like as it values foreign investment in China, and the sizable US investment in China is of more importance to the Chinese economy than the much smaller and shrinking Chinese investment is to the US economy.
Also, there is the additional bonus that coercing Chinese companies to divest their US business to US enterprises will not incur job losses.
The US administration’s bullying of Chinese tech companies stems from data being the new source of wealth and its zero-sum vision of “American first”. With competitiveness now dependent on the ability to collect and use data, it offers an either-or choice of submission or mortal combat in the tech realm.

But China will by no means accept the “theft” of a Chinese technology company, and it has plenty of ways to respond if the administration carries out its planned smash and grab.
The People’s Daily’s demand is ironic, since President Trump’s ascendance to the presidency was due in part to his aggressive stance toward China, which he accused of stealing jobs, technology and economic might from the US.
Four years later, China’s modus operandi for stealing American technology is well known. First, there are the “joint ventures” that China requires all foreign companies to establish before they can do business in China. This system is clearly designed to give Chinese firms access to valuable American technology as simply the price of doing business.
China’s cyberespionage activities, run through the Ministry of State Security, have infiltrated some of the biggest companies in the west.
Sometimes, technology theft is orchestrated by Chinese companies, presumably on behalf of the MSS, like the now-infamous theft by Huawei engineers of “Tappy”, a piece of technology developed by a team of engineers at T-Mobile, which figured heavily into a lawsuit filed early last year.
We could go on. But as for what this means for TikTok, the competing pressures from Beijing and Washington might make any deal impossible, particularly within the timeline demanded by the US.

newswars--2020-08-05--Poll: 84 Per Cent of Americans Blame Media For Political Divisions in the Country

A new poll has found that 84 per cent of Americans blame the media for creating corrosive political divisions in the country .
The Knight Foundation/Gallup poll reveals that 86 per cent of respondents say they see “ a great deal ” or “ a fair amount ” of political bias in the media .
This compares to 62 per cent who felt the same way back in 2007 .
As expected given the media ’ s left-wing prejudice , Democrats are less concerned than Republicans about media bias , with only 22 per cent having an unfavorable view of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Republicans .
“ Americans blame the media for political divisions , but they also see the potential for the media to heal these divides , ” reports the Knight Foundation .
“ Eighty-four percent of Americans say the media is to blame for political division in this country .

As expected given the media’s left-wing prejudice, Democrats are less concerned than Republicans about media bias, with only 22 per cent having an unfavorable view of the press compared to 75 per cent of Republicans.
“Americans blame the media for political divisions, but they also see the potential for the media to heal these divides,” reports the Knight Foundation. “Eighty-four percent of Americans say the media is to blame for political division in this country. Still, 84% also say the media can serve as a healing force.”
The survey also found that 54 per cent believe fake news is reported deliberately while 74 per cent believe media owners are influencing news coverage.

newswars--2020-08-05--John Cleese: Woke People Have “Zero Sense Of Humour”; They’re Killing Comedy

Legendary British comedian John Cleese has hit out at permanently offended woke people , insisting that they have no sense of humour and are contributing to the death of comedy .
In an appearance on the Daily Beast ’ s The Last Laugh Podcast , Cleese noted that woke people simply do not understand the intricacies of comedy .
“ There ’ s plenty of people who are PC now who have absolutely zero sense of humour .
I would love to debate , in a friendly way , a couple of ‘ woke ’ people in front of an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thing I would say is , please tell me a good ‘ woke ’ joke , ” Cleese urged .
“ What they don ’ t understand is that there ’ s two types of teasing , ” Cleese continued , noting that “ There ’ s really nasty teasing , which is horrible , and we shouldn ’ t do it , full stop .
But the other type of teasing is affectionate .
You can tease people hugely affectionately and it ’ s a bonding mechanism.
” “ All humour is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out of perfect human beings , ” Cleese continued , adding that “ If you ’ ve got someone up on the screen who is perfect , intelligent and kind and flexible and a good person , there ’ s nothing funny about that .
So we only laugh at people ’ s frailties , but that ’ s not cruel .
You can laugh at people ’ s frailties in very funny and generous ways.
” Cleese was recently at the centre of a ‘ woke ’ storm when his Fawlty Towers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was temporarily canceled after complaints that it featured a ‘ racist ’ character .
Cleese called the BBC “ cowardly and gutless ” for removing an episode of the show , pointing out that the racist character in question was the target of ridicule in the show .
Cleese has previously warned that political correctness will lead to the death of comedy , noting that “ If you start to say we mustn ’ t , we mustn ’ t criticize or offend them then humor is gone .
With humor goes a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ far as I ’ m concerned you ’ re living in 1984.

“All humour is critical. You cannot get laughs out of perfect human beings,” Cleese continued, adding that “If you’ve got someone up on the screen who is perfect, intelligent and kind and flexible and a good person, there’s nothing funny about that. So we only laugh at people’s frailties, but that’s not cruel. You can laugh at people’s frailties in very funny and generous ways.”
Cleese was recently at the centre of a ‘woke’ storm when his Fawlty Towers show, made some 40 years ago was temporarily canceled after complaints that it featured a ‘racist’ character.
Cleese called the BBC “cowardly and gutless” for removing an episode of the show, pointing out that the racist character in question was the target of ridicule in the show.
I would have hoped that someone at the BBC would understand that there are two ways of making fun of
human behaviour One is to attack it directly. The other is to have someone who is patently a figure of fun, speak up on behalf of that behaviour Thank of Alf Garnett… — John Cleese (@JohnCleese) June 12, 2020
But it’s not just stupidity The BBC is now run by a mixture of marketing people and petty bureaucrats It used to have a large sprinkling of people who’d actually made programmes Not any more So BBC decisions are made by persons whose main concern is not losing their jobs… — John Cleese (@JohnCleese) June 12, 2020
The BBC’s website refers to my ‘fury’ I think my comments were quite measured and moderate So why would the BBC refer to them as my ‘fury’ ? Because it will get them a few more ‘clicks’ This sort of thing happens when marketing executives and tabloid journalists take charge — John Cleese (@JohnCleese) June 12, 2020
Cleese has previously warned that political correctness will lead to the death of comedy, noting that “If you start to say we mustn’t, we mustn’t criticize or offend them then humor is gone. With humor goes a sense of proportion. And then as far as I’m concerned you’re living in 1984.”
Cleese has been acutely aware of the threat cancel culture poses for decades:
Hard to tell if I recorded this 30 years or 10 minutes ago… pic.twitter.com/GPDURhYIJL — John Cleese (@JohnCleese) June 12, 2020
After daring to question the diversity overlords, Cleese also recently found himself being labeled a ‘racist’:
His staunch refusal to deviate from his views has made Cleese the target of harassment.

Survey: Americans Think Coronavirus Has Killed 30 Million People in the U.S., 225 Times Higher Than Actual Figure

A new survey by research firm Kekst CNC has found that on average , people in the U.S. think 9 per cent of the population , around 30 million people , have died from coronavirus when the actual figure is less than 155,000 .
The survey results generally across six countries , including America , found that , “ People think coronavirus is more widespread , and more deadly , than official figures show.

In 1998, a big Hollywood movie entitled “Deep Impact” imagined what would happen if a very large asteroid hit the Atlantic Ocean. It is hard to believe that it has been more than 20 years since it first came out, because I can still remember it very vividly. In one of the most memorable scenes in the film, a massive tsunami that is hundreds of feet tall slams into the east coast of the United States causing immense death and destruction.
But that is just a movie. Could something similar actually happen in real life?
On Tuesday, a British news source reminded us that scientists have discovered that such a scenario is actually a very real possibility…
A computer simulation of an asteroid impact tsunami developed by scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz (USCS), showed waves as high as 400 feet sweeping onto the Atlantic Coast of the US. Steven Ward, a researcher at the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at UCSC, and Erik Asphaug, an associate professor of Earth sciences, reported their findings in the Geophysical Journal International.
Of course an asteroid could potentially hit anywhere on the planet, but in their research Ward and Asphaug specifically focused on the Atlantic Ocean, and what their computer simulation came up with was extremely disconcerting…
For the simulation, the researchers chose an impact site consistent with the orientation of the Earth at the time of the predicted encounter – in the Atlantic Ocean about 360 miles from the US coast. Dr Ward explained that the 60,000-megaton blast of the impact could vaporise the asteroid and blow a cavity in the ocean 11 miles across and all the way down to the seafloor, which is about three miles deep at that point.
Such an impact would send a series of giant waves in all directions, including toward the east coast of the United States.
Today, almost 40 percent of the U.S. population lives in a county that directly borders a shoreline, and the population density right along the east coast is particularly dense.
Florida would probably be the first state to get hit by the waves, and it would be particularly vulnerable because most of the state is just barely above sea level…
South Florida has two big problems. The first is its remarkably flat topography. Half the area that surrounds Miami is less than five feet above sea level. Its highest natural elevation, a limestone ridge that runs from Palm Beach to just south of the city, averages a scant 12 feet. With just three feet of sea-level rise, more than a third of southern Florida will vanish; at six feet, more than half will be gone; if the seas rise 12 feet, South Florida will be little more than an isolated archipelago surrounded by abandoned buildings and crumbling overpasses. And the waters won’t just come in from the east – because the region is so flat, rising seas will come in nearly as fast from the west too, through the Everglades.
In other words, there would be absolutely nothing to keep the tsunami waves from racing across the entire state.
Much of the rest of the east coast would be extremely vulnerable as well. For example, New York City is less than 50 feet above sea level…
Despite having some of the tallest buildings in the world and being well-known for its towers and skyscrapers, New York City has a very low elevation of just 33 feet (10 m) above sea level. New York’s elevation is so low due to its location right on the coast of the United States.
Boston, New Haven, Jersey City, Newark, Atlantic City, Philadelphia, Virginia Beach, Wilmington, Myrtle Beach, Charleston, Savannah and countless other east coast cities are all also less than 50 feet above sea level.
So we are talking about the potential for death and destruction on a scale that is unimaginable.
Washington D.C. would fare a little bit better, because some parts of the D.C. area are up to 410 feet above sea level…
Washington D.C. is relatively flat and located at 410 feet above sea level at its highest point and at sea level at its lowest point.
So I would rather be in D.C. than New York or Boston when a giant tsunami hits, but without a doubt the devastation would be immense in our capital city as well.
We should hope that such an event can be put off for as long as possible, but we have been warned that our planet is apparently “in the midst of an epic asteroid surge”…
And as I noted at the beginning of this article, we are still discovering more asteroids all the time. The one that was discovered on July 26th was not a threat, but it did come alarmingly close to us…
A car-sized asteroid discovered over the weekend made a close flyby of Earth today (July 28), passing our planet at a range that rivals the orbits of some high-flying satellites. The asteroid 2020 OY4, which was first detected on Sunday (July 26), made its closest approach today at 1:31 a.m. EDT (0531 GMT) when it zipped by Earth at a speed of about 27,700 mph (44,600 km/h), according to the European Space Agency. The asteroid is just under 10 feet (3 meters) wide and posed no impact risk to Earth, but did approach the flight paths of geosynchronous satellites.
Despite all of our advanced technology, we remain extremely vulnerable, and scientists assure us that it is just a matter of time before our luck runs out and a gigantic space rock hits our planet.
The good news is that we do not currently know about any asteroids that appear to be an imminent threat.
But of course the bad news is that there are plenty of asteroids that we still haven’t discovered yet, and one or more of them could possibly be traveling directly toward us.


newswars--2020-08-05--Did The “Mushroom Cloud” Explosion In Beirut Just Push The Middle East Closer To A Major War?

2020 just keeps getting weirder .
On Tuesday , an absolutely massive explosion caused a red mushroom cloud to rise high over the city of Beirut , Lebanon .
It is being called “ Beirut ’ s Hiroshima ” , and the blast was heard as far away as Cyprus .
You can watch a two minute compilation that contains video clips of the explosion from several different angles right here .
It appears that the shockwave did even more damage than the initial explosion did , and at this hour a large portion of the city of Beirut lies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ top headlines of the day starting with the suspicious blast in Beirut .
Dozens are dead , thousands are injured , and the entire city is now in a state of complete chaos… It is being reported that Beirut ’ s port “ is totally destroyed ” , and this comes at a really bad time because Lebanon is already in the midst of an epic economic collapse .
In recent months , we have become accustomed to hearing about “ mystery explosions ” all over the Middle East , and many believe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ region is on the brink of a full-blown war .
But this incident was different .
A large section of the capital of Lebanon has been flattened , and many eyewitnesses are comparing the blast to a nuclear explosion .
Here is one example… And even Beirut Governor Marwan Aboud brought up “ Hiroshima ” and “ Nagasaki ” when asked about the explosion… Immediately after this happened , a lot of people began wondering if this was an Israeli attack , but that does not appear to be the case .
One @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Israel had nothing to do with the incident ” , and Benny Gantz has actually offered to send humanitarian aidto Beirut… If Israel really had been behind this attack , I seriously doubt that they would be offering to patch up their enemies .
And this isn ’ t Israel ’ s style either .

The devastation that we just witnessed has caused great pain and anger in Lebanon , and terror groups such as Hezbollah will inevitably try to channel all of that pain and anger in a way that furthers their ultimate goals .

2020 just keeps getting weirder. On Tuesday, an absolutely massive explosion caused a red mushroom cloud to rise high over the city of Beirut, Lebanon.
It is being called “Beirut’s Hiroshima”, and the blast was heard as far away as Cyprus. You can watch a two minute compilation that contains video clips of the explosion from several different angles right here.
It appears that the shockwave did even more damage than the initial explosion did, and at this hour a large portion of the city of Beirut lies in ruins.
Alex Jones reads the top headlines of the day starting with the suspicious blast in Beirut.
Dozens are dead, thousands are injured, and the entire city is now in a state of complete chaos…
Two enormous explosions devastated Beirut’s port on Tuesday, leaving at least 73 people dead and thousands injured, shaking distant buildings and spreading panic and chaos across the Lebanese capital. The second blast sent an enormous orange fireball into the sky, flattened the harbourside and drove a tornado-like shockwave through the city, shattering windows kilometres (miles) away.
It is being reported that Beirut’s port “is totally destroyed”, and this comes at a really bad time because Lebanon is already in the midst of an epic economic collapse.
In recent months, we have become accustomed to hearing about “mystery explosions” all over the Middle East, and many believe that those mystery explosions indicate that the region is on the brink of a full-blown war.
But this incident was different. A large section of the capital of Lebanon has been flattened, and many eyewitnesses are comparing the blast to a nuclear explosion. Here is one example…
“It was like an atomic bomb,” said Makrouhie Yerganian, a retired schoolteacher in her mid-70s who has lived near the port for decades. “I’ve experienced everything, but nothing like this before,” even during the country’s 1975-1990 civil war, she said. “All the buildings around here have collapsed.”
And even Beirut Governor Marwan Aboud brought up “Hiroshima” and “Nagasaki” when asked about the explosion…
“This reminds me of what happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki,” said Beirut Governor Marwan Aboud. “I have never seen such widespread destruction. This is a national catastrophe. This is a disaster for Lebanon. We’re already living through days where we can barely keep going.” “And now this…I don’t know how we’re going to recover from this,” Aboud told Sky News, before bursting into tears.
Immediately after this happened, a lot of people began wondering if this was an Israeli attack, but that does not appear to be the case.
One unnamed Israeli government official told AFP that “Israel had nothing to do with the incident”, and Benny Gantz has actually offered to send humanitarian aidto Beirut…
Offers of aid also came from bitter rivals Israel, with which it is still technically at war. Defense Minister Benny Gantz and Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi, on behalf of the State of Israel, have offered the Lebanese government – via international intermediaries – medical and humanitarian aid, as well as immediate emergency assistance,’ said a joint statement from the two ministries.
If Israel really had been behind this attack, I seriously doubt that they would be offering to patch up their enemies.
And this isn’t Israel’s style either. The Israelis prefer surgical strikes that avoid civilian casualties as much as possible, and this explosion definitely does not fit that profile.
Instead, it appears that this was some sort of deeply tragic accident. Lebanese officials have admitted that 2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate were stored in the unit that exploded, and that amount of ammonium nitrate can definitely produce the sort of explosion that we just witnessed…
Lebanon’s interior minister said ammonium nitrate had been stored in the unit since 2014, with experts agreeing that the chemical would cause the red plume of smoke which burst up from the blast. Local media are reporting that 2,700 tonnes of the chemical exploded, which scientists making initial calculations said was about three kilotonnes of TNT – roughly a fifth of the Little Boy atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in the Second World War.
But Donald Trump is apparently not buying that explanation. He told the press that the explosion “was an attack” and that it was caused by “a bomb of some kind”…
At least 60 people were killed and thousands were wounded in an explosion that caused widespread damage in the Lebanese capital. Trump said he had been briefed by “our great generals” and that they “seem to feel” that the explosion was not an accident. “According to them – they would know better than I would – but they seem to think it was an attack,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “It was a bomb of some kind.”
If this really was an attack, the Lebanese are going to want revenge, because a substantial portion of their capital city has been absolutely decimated.
And needless to say, there are already voices all over the Middle East that are eagerly pointing a finger of blame at Israel and are calling for war.
But unlike the “mystery explosions” that have been happening in Iran, the evidence does not indicate that Israel had anything to do with this great tragedy.
Unfortunately, a lot of people out there are going to jump to their own conclusions, and many of those that hate Israel will use this as another justification to call for armed conflict.
Over the past couple of years, there have been so many moments when it seemed like a major war could break out at any time in the Middle East. And here in 2020, tensions are running higher than ever. The IDF has been regularly hitting Iranian and Hezbollah targets all over the region, and we just witnessed a harrowing confrontation on the Syrian border.
It appears that it is just a matter of time before a huge war erupts in the Middle East, and it certainly isn’t going to take much to trigger one.
So could this explosion push the region over the edge?
Let us hope not, but without a doubt this blast is not going to help matters.
The devastation that we just witnessed has caused great pain and anger in Lebanon, and terror groups such as Hezbollah will inevitably try to channel all of that pain and anger in a way that furthers their ultimate goals.

A new witness came forward the other day, saying she saw Prince Andrew chatting and dancing with Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, claim which essentially contradicts the Duke’s account of events about the highly-scrutinised night in March 2001.
Prince Andrew used a Spitting Image puppet of himself, given to him by his billionaire acquaintance Jeffrey Epstein and his suspected “madam” Ghislaine Maxwell, to grope two of Esptein’s accusers, one of these, Virginia Giuffre claims in her book manuscript, released at the behest of New York Judge Loretta Preska and cited by The Mirror.
The groping, she claims, took place in the first floor study of Epstein’s Manhattan penthouse, frequently referred to as the “House of Horrors”, before being taken to the so-called “dungeon” to perform an erotic massage on Andrew. The accuser earlier claimed that “madam” Maxwell, who is alleged to have procured young girls for Epstein for sex, pressed her to have sex with Andrew at her London mansion on 10 March 2001 – something Andrew has since vehemently denied. He has yet to comment on the latest allegations, which came in after the Duke’s name resurfaced in the Esptein criminal case following Maxwell’s arrest in early July.
Owen is joined by Navy Seal Veteran Craig Sawyer, founder of Veterans for Child Rescue, and creator of the documentary, “Contraland”. Owen and Craig dive deep into the open secret of child sex trafficking and other current events.
“Prince Andrew had that notorious cheesy grin slapped over his face, as he looked me up and down like a shiny new car on display and he was about to take it for a test drive”, Giuffe wrote in the manuscript.
She went on to recount how Maxwell “led me to the decadent sofa” Andrew was “lounging on” and “twirled me around to give him a good look over before sitting me down on his lap”.
She claimed that all she had to do was to to give an impression of being thoroughly entertained by what was going on, by “their lewd gestures”, “and when Andrew cupped my breast with a doll made in his image, I only giggled away”, Giuffre recalled.
She went on to mention another woman – Johanna Sjoberg, who was also purportedly made to sit on Andrew’s lap and fondled with the puppet.
Sjoberg has previously described the sexualised gestures ostensibly made by Andrew with his Spitting Image puppet.
She made the comments in a 2016 deposition in Giuffre’s civil defamation case against Maxwell, from which the newly released files are taken.
“I sat on Andrew’s lap… they took the puppet’s hands and put it on Virginia’s breast, and so Andrew put his on mine”, Sjoberg said at the time under oath.
Pictures of the room in which the women claim to have been abused surfaced after Epstein’s New York mansion was put up for sale for £69 million, following the convicted paedophile taking his own life while awaiting trial on new child sex trafficking charges.
The latest allegations come after a royal insider dismissed a new witness’s claims she saw Prince Andrew with her own eyes in a nightclub with Virginia Roberts, Maxwell, and Epstein on the night he is accused of having sex with her.
Somalian-born Shukri Walker, who said she had herself been trafficked for sexual activities from Kenya as a teenager, claimed the Duke dancedand had the time of his life with Epstein’s alleged victim. She said she couldn’t have mistaken him for anyone else, because they had a short exchange after she accidentally stepped on the prince’s foot and apologised for the mishap.
