The people from more than 80 countries where the US has interfered in elections need not

worry as it was all done in their "best interests" according to former US spy chief

James Clapper

Clapper, famous for lying about the NSA mass surveillance program before it was revealed

by Edward Snowden, is back in the media spotlight, promoting his new book.

RT reports: The tome promises readers 'Hard truths from a life in intelligence.'

However, perhaps the more interesting insights are on Clapper's reflections on the so-called

Russiagate scandal and investigations into the alleged hacking of the US presidential

election.

In an interview with Bloomberg's Tobin Harshaw, Clapper is asked about the US' own history

of election interference.

'I guess the way I think about that is that through our history, when we tried to manipulate

or influence elections or even overturned governments, it was done with the best interests

of the people in that country in mind,' he answers, noting that "traditional reverence

for human rights."

US actions of overthrowing foreign powers has long been the subject of academic discussions

and debate, with over 80 instances of it between 1946 and 2000 documented in Dov Levin's

report 'When the Great Power Gets a Vote' alone.

Clapper claims he's not simply jumping on the book-writing bandwagon, but that the loss

of what he calls the "beacon of truth" is what inspired him to put pen to paper.

He says US President Donald Trump is not the problem with America, he's just a symbol

of the wider issue, "where now it's fashionable to have alternative facts or where 'truth

is relative,' to quote Rudy Giuliani."

Truth also seems to be a "relative" term for Clapper, who was caught out by Edward

Snowden's uncovering of a mass surveillance program at the NSA, something the former intelligence

chief had denied to the US Select Committee on Intelligence.

The now-retired Clapper has some high hopes for his publication, saying he hopes it can

in some way inform the public about the threats the US faces, "both internal and external."

On the regrets front, there's no surprise as to what he feels the biggest issue yet

to be solved is, and that's the "intractable problem" of Syria.

His comments come just days after President Bashar Assad told RT that Washington and its

"puppets" tried, and failed, to destroy Syria – and the US military will eventually

be forced out of the country.

United States-North Korea summit Trump moves forward with North Korea negotiations - Duration: 10:18.

here with more senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for international

peace one of the men who helped coordinate the Iran nuclear deal with

the State Department Jared Blanc Jared nice to see you as always sir let's

start with this key word you keep hearing denuclearization the ignores use

it the South Koreans use it the United States keeps using it does it mean the

same thing to everybody well I think we don't know what it means exactly to the

North Koreans my guess and I think the the the broad

opinion of the expert community is that it does not mean to the North Koreans

what we would hope it would mean which is quickly getting rid of their nuclear

weapons and their nuclear infrastructure infrastructure the president now is

calling this the start of a process he says the sit down in Singapore for June

12th does that make sense should it be a process or should we expect Kim jong-un

to walk in and say look you look the sanctions I give up my nukes we're done

I think that that's the best news out of this week is that the president is now

talking about a process as opposed to a one-hit meeting if this is going to work

it is going to work as a result of a long term process of building confidence

and meeting each other as national security requirements interesting that

we hear someone from the left as you are and someone who is as hawkish as

secretary mattis both using that term confidence-building well I think it's

a-you know both both secretary mattis and I are probably pretty hawkish on the

question of whether or not North Korea is a threat to international peace and

security I think both secretary mattis and I are also probably pretty realistic

about how this process is likely to play out given what we've seen in other

situations and given our understanding of North Korea's national security

concerns well they've certainly been blunt in their language as has president

Trump we had the little rocket man we had to talk about what the US military

could do to North Korea we had the words over and over from the White House and

from the podium maximum pressure maximum pressure and yesterday after his meeting

with the vice chairman from North Korea this is what the president had to say

about that policy I don't want to use the term maximum pressure anymore

because I don't want to use that term because we're getting along you see the

relationship we're getting a little says that a question of maximum pressure

staying essentially the way it is at some point hopefully a deal for the good

of millions of people a deal will be working getting ahead of ourselves on

that one well I think the truth is that maximum pressure has always been

analytically wrong as a way to understand what's going on on the Korean

Peninsula Kim met his core objective he tested a thermonuclear weapon and he

tested ICBMs which at least plausibly could reach the continental United

States he had been saying publicly for years that after doing those things he

was going to turn to diplomacy and economic concerns and that's exactly

what he's done I think what we're seeing is Kim's plan playing out as opposed to

the results of any quote-unquote maximum pressure from the United States I also

think you're saying the North Koreans in there's a lot of other folks who would

agree with you on this probably this is what summarize it is that the the Kim's

have been pretty honest on what their playbook is and they're just continuing

to do it sort of like the Chinese are in the sparklies in other places I think

that's about right I think the only real surprise here for the Kim's is how far

they've gotten in how fast President Trump

driving ahead for this summit opening the door for Kim to rebuild his

relationship with Beijing rebuild his relationship with Moscow I think this is

all played out faster and better than it anticipated but basically along the

lines that he had he had intended know so far the North Koreans conceivably

have played things pretty well whether it be playing the Clinton administration

the Bush administration or the Obama administration last point is something

that you were an expert in in the Iran deal of compliance if the summit results

in a deal or multiple summits result in a deal compliance and enforcement in

Iran was difficult it's one of the things that Republicans really complain

about about the Iran deal if it's difficult in Iran it seems like it would

be almost near impossible in North Korea well I think you've got to be realistic

about what we can expect in terms of inspections and compliance we've got to

have very very high expectations but at the same time we have to be aware that

we're not going to know everything that's going on in North Korea I know

almost nothing that's going on in North Korea right now with you I I hope that

the Trump administration is in gay the real non-proliferation experts at

the Department of Energy at the Department of State and in the IEA this

is something that they haven't been great about in every issue they haven't

found ways to use the civil service but there are people who understand how

these processes work on an engineering and a scientific basis they need to be

involved from the beginning and figuring out what are the right asks and how do

we verified they're being followed as we've heard at least anecdotally that

secretary Pompeo now is he's come back into the State Department is trying to

reengage some of the very folks you talked about mr. walk always good to see

you sir thank you very much here with more senior fellow at the Carnegie

Endowment for international peace one of the men who helped coordinate the Iran

United States establishes link between Cuba and China 'sonic attack' - DAILY NEWS - Duration: 2:25.

United States establishes link between Cuba and China 'sonic attack'

A SONIC attack on a US citizen working in China has been linked to another incident

in Cuba last year.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo described the episode in Guangzhou this week as a "serious

medical incident" as he confirmed investigators had linked it with the Havana incident.

The US official at the consulate in Guangzhou experienced a variety of "physical symptoms"

between late 2017 and April this year.

The person has been diagnosed with a mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) blamed on a

"sonic attack".

In a statement Mr Pompeo said: "The U.S. government is taking these reports seriously

and has informed its official staff in China of this event."

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who met with Mr Pompeo in Washington this week, said

that China had been investigating and hasn't found any organisation or individual responsible

for "such a sonic influence."

He said: "We will stay in communication with the US through diplomatic channels and

we would suggest the US side also carry out some internal investigations.

We don't want to see this individual case be magnified, complicated or even politicised."

The events drew eerie comparisons with the Cuban incident in which diplomats experienced

a range of ailments, often after hearing an unusual sound.

The still-unexplained incidents sparked a rift in US-Cuban relations, while investigators

have chased theories including a sonic attack, electromagnetic weapon or a flawed spying

device.

Mr Pompeo said on Wednesday that he expects the results of an independent investigation

into the Cuban incidents by the middle of next week.

He said the incident in Guangzhou was "very similar and entirely consistent with the medical

indications of the Americans working in Havana."

He added that a medical team was being sent to Guangzhou and "we are working to figure

out what took place both in Havana and Guangzhou."

THE U S TRIED TO DETONATE AN ATOM BOMB ON THE MOON - Duration: 4:43.

THE U.S. TRIED TO DETONATE AN ATOM BOMB ON THE MOON � BUT THERE WAS AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL

RESPONSE� ARJUN WALIA.

In the 1950s, Colonel Ross Dedrickson was responsible for maintaining the inventory

of the nuclear weapon stockpile for the AEC, and for accompanying security teams checking

out the security of the weapons, among many other duties.

As his obituary states:

He was assigned to the US Atomic Energy Commission.

A long service with the Energy Commission between 1950-1958 included, contract administration

duties at Nevada test sites, Pacific Nuclear Test Area west of Hawaii, nuclear weapon manufacturing

and quality assurance in Albuquerque, and inspection of nuclear and non-nuclear facilities

throughout the country.

He served with the 5th Air Force in Japan and later as a ranking Colonel, Officer in

Charge of the Pacific Unified Command (TM)s alternate �command and control center�

in Hawaii.

In 1962, he was transferred and served as Deputy for Material for the 832 Air Division

at Canon Air Force Base, Clovis, New Mexico.

He retired from the USAF in 1964.

He is one of hundreds of military whistleblowers with verified backgrounds to have been brought

forth by Dr. Steven Greer�s Disclosure Project.

His testimony about UFOs � specifically about UFOs and nuclear weapons � can be

corroborated by a wealth of information and evidence that�s now available within the

public domain.

(To read more about a few of these encounters, click here.)

Many of these whistleblowers have made multiple appearances at the National Press Club in

an effort to get this information out to the world, with the most recent example being

the Citizens Hearing on Disclosure, which took place a few years ago.

With such a professional background, working in the places he has worked, it�s safe to

infer he was privy to sensitive information on a number of subjects.

This isn�t just a random high-ranking military whistleblower talking about a random issue.

There are many whistleblowers and documents clearly outlining a decades-long relationship

between UFOs and nuclear storage facilities and test sites.

A number of these incidents have visual confirmation, along with air and ground radar confirmation

as well.

In the interview below, Dedrickson explains how the American government tried to detonate

a nuclear weapon on the moon, but were prevented from doing so.

As far as the mainstream goes, it�s public knowledge that a declassified report by the

Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center from June 1959 shows just how seriously they considered

the plan, called Project A119.

In general, they wanted to investigate the capability of weapons in space, as well as

gain further insight into the space environment and the detonation of nuclear devices within

it.

As far as the information below, that probably goes deeper into the Black Budget.

It�s interesting how the world is so into television shows like Stranger Things, which

depicts the Department of Energy and their involvement with otherworldly creatures and

other strange facts, yet so willing to ignore a high ranking American Colonel who held very

sensitive positions at the Department of Energy for years, at a time when all of this nuclear

development was really hot.

He is the real deal and it�s interesting to ponder what he might really know.

�I also learned about incidents involving nuclear weapons, and among these incidents

were a couple of nuclear weapons sent into space were destroyed by the extraterrestrials.

. . . At the very end of the 70s and the early 80s, we attempted to put a nuclear weapon

on the moon and explode it for scientific measurements and other things, which was not

acceptable to the extraterrestrials.

They destroyed the weapon before it got to the moon.�

Cancelled US-North Korea Summit Back On - Duration: 3:16.

NOT TOO LONG AGO THE SURPRISE ANNOUNCEMENT CAME THAT DONALD

TRUMP WOULD BE MEETING WITH THE LEADER OF NORTH KOREA JUNE 12,

SINGAPORE, BE THERE, PAY-PER-VIEW, AND THEN GOT

CANCELED.

BUT HOLD, WATCH --

WE WILL BE MEETING ON JUNE 12 IN SINGAPORE, IT'S A GET TO KNOW

YOU KIND OF SITUATION, MIKE HAS SPENT TWO DAYS DOING THIS, WE'VE

GOTTEN TO KNOW THEIR PEOPLE VERY WELL.

I THINK IT WILL BE A

PROCESS, I NEVER SAID IT GOES IN ONE MEETING, I THINK IT WILL BE

A PROCESS, BUT THE RELATIONSHIPS ARE BUILDING AND THAT'S A VERY

POSITIVE THING.

SO THAT CAME ABOUT AS A RESULT OF HIM MEETING WITH

HIGH-LEVEL DEPUTY OF THE NORTH KOREAN GOVERNMENT, SO WE

HAD THE MEETING AND THEN WE DIDN'T AND NOW WE DO, BUT THERE

ARE STILL A COUPLE OF WEEKS, DON'T PLACE ANY BETS JUST YET.

SUCH A GOOD REALITY SHOW.

TUNE IN NEXT WEEK.

I THINK HE SHOULD HAVE HANDED THE DEPUTY A ROSE.

GO BACK AND WATCH THE SOUTH PARK MOVIE, THIS IS THE NEXT

SCENE.

IT'S RIGHT IN THERE.

THE CANADIANS AND NORTH KOREANS COME

TOGETHER.

I HOPE THEY DO IT.

I SAY IT EVERY TIME WE DO THIS STORY AND

I CAN'T WAIT TO GIVE DONALD TRUMP CREDIT, FOR GOD'S SAKE,

MAKE A PEACE DEAL, I'LL GIVE YOU ALL THE CREDIT IN THE WORLD.

YOU

WANT A MEDAL?

I'LL GIVE YOU A MEDAL.

AS LONG AS YOU MAKE A

DEAL AND GET IT DONE AND IT'S REAL, AND YOU DON'T LOSE YOUR

COOL AND ACCIDENTLY START A WAR.

THAT IS WHAT SCARES ME TO DEATH IS THAT THESE TWO GUYS

OTHER OR REALLY, REALLY HATE EACH OTHER.

IT'S THIS BINARY

UNIVERSE, THIS MAKES ME REALLY NERVOUS TO BE LIKE THAT WILL GO

PERFECT, DONALD TRUMP AND KIM JONG-IL.

HIS FATHER USED TO CLAIM, KIM JONG-UN'S FATHER, USED TO CLAIM

THAT HE WOULD BOWL A 300 EVERY TIME.

I HOPE TWO THINGS, ONE THAT THEY MAKE A DEAL THAT WOULD BE

FOR THE BENEFIT OF NOT JUST NORTH KOREA AND OURSELVES BUT

SOUTH KOREA TOO FOR GOD'S SAKE, SINCE THOSE PEOPLE HAVE LIVED

UNDER THE THREAT OF POSSIBLE VIOLENCE AT ANY SECOND, AND I

ALSO HOPE FUTURE PRESIDENTS WILL TREAT THAT DEAL WITH MORE

RESPECT AND IN A MORE SERIOUS FASHION THAN TRUMP TREATED THE

PARIS CLIMATE ACCORDS, THE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL, AND ANY OTHER

INTERNATIONAL DEALS THAT WERE CAREFULLY PLANNED OUT AND

NEGOTIATED THAT HE WAS PULLING TO SET ON FIRE FOR A WHIM.

11 Safest Places to Live in the US - Duration: 18:49.

11 Safest Places to Live in the US.

Safety first.

It may be a cliché expression, but it's tried and true advice that carries a lot of

weight.

Especially when deciding where to put down roots.

When it comes to your home and family, there is no substitute for feeling safe.

But where to begin?

There are so many cities and towns in the U.S., it's difficult to choose a place that

is both safe and desirable.

Don't fret; there are plenty of viable options from the east coast, to the mid-west, and

especially the west coast (California scored three separate times on our list!).

Check out all the cities that made the ranking for the safest places to live in the U.S.

1: Sunnyvale, California.

Within prosperous Silicon Valley, Sunnyvale residents experience a very safe and comfortable

way of life.

Most people are well-educated working professionals and many work in the computer science field.

Whites, Asians, and Hispanics make up much of the diverse demography.

The median household income is over $100,000.

Violent and property crime are well below the national average.

Sunnyvale scores extra points because of its location in Santa Clara County, which has

a vehicular mortality rate less than one third of the national average.

This is due to the heavily utilized Valley Transit Authority's bus and rail systems.

Santa Clara County has one of the lowest drug use rates in the nation, likely contributing

to its excellent safety record.

Sunnyvale's public safety officers are trained firefighters, police officers, and EMTs, making

emergency response extremely efficient.

Safety bonus: California has the strictest gun control laws in the country.

2: Plano, Texas.

As one of the safest places in Texas and the entire country, this Dallas suburb has a lot

going for it.

Plano is a city of around 286,000, high median household income, and affordable housing.

Despite Texas having an above average crime rate, Plano has managed to rise above this

statistic.

The city prides itself on the very low violent crime rate; more than four times less than

the national average.

The property crime is higher, but still below the state and national averages.

There are plenty of amenities, activities, and entertainment.

Check out the Arbor Hill Nature Reserve for 200-acres of trails, AquaShop for indoor surfing,

or Art & Soul for a paint your own pottery session.

Overall, Plano is a very comfortable place to live.

Bonus: large selection of public schools and over a dozen private schools.

Plano ranks very well in the education category.

3: Honolulu, Hawaii.

Tropical island life combines with one of the safest places in the U.S. to live.

What's not to love about Honolulu?

This city is a surfer's haven, diver's paradise, and sun worshiper's dream.

The climate and location makes Honolulu an irresistible location.

Factor in the low violent crime rate and you've got yourself a perfect paradise.

Honolulu's small area and year-round warm weather prompts many people to walk, or ride

their bikes to work.

This cuts down on the dangers people face on the road and puts Honolulu near the bottom

of the list of car fatalities.

Hawaii is one of the strictest states in terms of its gun control laws.

Remember: Honolulu is a city of 350,000, so take the normal precautions you would in any

other large city.

Property crimes have decreased in the last ten years, but still hover near the national

average.

4: Naperville, Illinois.

This family friendly Chicago suburb boasts some of the lowest crime statistics in the

nation.

Naperville rivals Plano with an extremely low rate of violent crime.

The most recent crime rate shows just 87 people out of 100,000 reporting a violent crime.

The national average is more than four times this amount.

Property crime is less than half the amount of the national average.

The combined crime rate here is 58% lower than the national average.

Naperville also has many ways to keep you entertained.

Check out the Naperville River Walk along the DuPage River, the man-made Centennial

Beach, or take a historic or bar hopping trolley tour.

This city has a lively nightlife scene, local brewery, concert hall, and museums.

Bonus: Chicago is easily reachable from Naperville.

5: Thousand Oaks, California.

Located about forty miles north of Los Angeles in Ventura County is the city of Thousand

Oaks.

Thousand Oaks has a bevy of outdoor activities for residents to enjoy.

Gardens of the World, Santa Monica Mountains Recreation Area, and Wildwood Park beckon

people to get out and get active.

The population of around 130,000 enjoy the Southern California climate and can rest easy

due to their impressively low crime record.

The national property crime rate is double that of Thousand Oaks, with theft as the most

common crime in Thousand Oaks.

The violent crime rate is more than three and a half times lower than the national average.

These statistics make Thousand Oaks safer than 74% of the cities in the U.S. Don't

forget about those strict gun control laws, which are likely contributing to the overall

low rates.

6: Henderson, Nevada.

This city of around 300,000 is the second largest in Nevada and one of the nation's

safest communities.

As a state, Nevada's crime average is higher than the national average.

However, it seems Henderson holds itself to higher standards.

Henderson ranks well below the national average of violent and property crime rates.

Henderson is considered safer than over half the cities in the U.S. Residents here enjoy

the River Mountain Loop Trail which connects places like the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead National

Recreation Area.

The Mojave Desert, Grand Canyon, and Joshua Tree are just a few of the tours you can embark

on from the backseat of a Hummer H2.

There are also a variety of excellent restaurants, from creative gourmet-bistros, to international

buffets, to the healthy twist LYFE puts on its fast food.

Bonus: Henderson is just a short twenty-minute drive to Las Vegas.

7: Shoreview, Minnesota.

This small city has a real sense of community, which is maybe why their safety record is

so shiny.

Shoreview's violent crime rate is forty-six times lower than the national average.

The city's property crime rate is 14 times lower than the national average.

Combined, these statistics make Shoreview 96% safer than any other city in the country.

The overall crime rate is actually decreasing.

Unfortunately, living in this extremely safe environment comes with a high cost of living.

Housing, health care, groceries, goods and services costs are all above the national

average.

To those who can afford it, this peaceful city of just 25,000 may be worth the price.

Shoreview's poverty and unemployment rates are both below the national average, perhaps

contributing to its exceptionally low crime statistics.

In the summer, residents enjoy outdoor concerts in the park, farmer's markets, and community

events.

8: McAllen, Texas.

Located just a few miles north of the U.S. – Mexico border is McAllen.

Due to its location, the predominant language is Spanish.

Defense chiefs of S. Korea, U.S. discuss peace and prosperity of Korean peninsula - Duration: 2:50.

North Korea issues are, of course, high on the agenda at the Shangri-La Dialogue.

On the sidelines, Song also held separate talks Saturday with James Mattis.

Our Park Ji-won filed this report from Singapore.

Delivering a speech entitled "De-escalating the North Korea crisis" at the forum's plenary

session on Saturday, Seoul's Defense Minister Song Young-moo stressed the Moon Jae-in administration's

North Korea policies and drive to denuclearize the peninsula not only contribute to the stability

of Northeast Asia,... but also promote global prosperity and peace.

He said South Korea's defense ministry will continue to closely consult with the North

to implement the Panmunjom Declaration,... where the two Koreas agreed to cease all hostile

acts and turn the Demilitarized Zone into a peace area.

During a Q&A session,...

Minister Song said he believed North Korea will comply with the international community's

demand that it denuclearize in a complete, verifiable, and irreversible manner,... known

in diplomatic speak as CVID.

"CVID is a promise that must be kept.

We believe North Korea, which hopes to be part of the international community will accept

the conditions, as complete verification is beneficial to the North."

U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis, who also gave a speech on Saturday on U.S. leadership

and the challenges facing Indo-Pacific security,... insisted the issue of American forces in South

Korea is not related in any way to talks with North Korea,... saying it's a matter for Seoul

and Washington only.

"Any discussion about the number of U.S. troops in the Republic of Korea is subject to one;

the Republic of Korea's invitation to have them there; and the discussions between the

U.S. and the Republic of Korea, separate and distinct from the negotiations that are going

on with the DPRK."

Following their speeches,...

Song and Mattis held a closed-door meeting lasting around 45 minutes.

Song and Mattis expressed satisfaction right after the talks.

Their discussions focused on ensuring peace and prosperity on the Korean peninsula and

both sides reaffirmed their iron-clad alliance.

The two defense chiefs also welcomed the results of the two recent inter-Korean summits,...

saying they hoped positive change on the peninsula will create the optimal conditions

for the upcoming North Korea-U.S. summit in Singapore.

Park Ji-won, Arirang News, Singapore."

US Marines Annihilate RECORD Number of Taliban Leaders Last Night! BURN IN HELL - Duration: 5:03.

Since President Trump took office the fight against global terrorism, specifically the

Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL), has been ramping up.

Unlike the last administration that took a more hands-off approach, the current administration

is collecting win after win against these terrorists.

The most recent headcount that was reported after an American offensive move will have

some leaping for joy knowing that many fewer terrorists are out there roaming the world.

In January of this year, the administration with the help of President Trump announced

that they are refusing to sit down for talks with Taliban officials.

The United States does not negotiate with terrorists.

This announcement came right after the Taliban claimed responsibility for the attacks they

undertook that k****d 100 people in one attack.

Fox News reported more on the staggering statistics:

"U.S. Marines in Afghanistan k****d dozens of Taliban leaders last week using rocket

artillery after tracking them to a meeting in volatile Helmand Province, according to

the top American general in Afghanistan Wednesday.

U.S. Forces Afghanistan said more than 50 Taliban commanders, including the deputy Taliban

shadow governor of Helmand was k****d.

Taliban leaders from six other provinces across Afghanistan were k****d as well in the strike

in the Musa Qala district of Helmand, according to the statement.

Twenty other Taliban leaders were k****d in air strikes earlier this month by drones and

Air Force A-10 Warthog jets based in neighboring Kandahar, which arrived earlier this year

along with thousands of additional American troops.

During a Pentagon press conference from his office in Kabul Wednesday, Army Gen. John

Nicholson told reporters the strikes would disrupt the insurgent group the U.S. military

has been fighting for more than 16 years.

"Helmand has been the financial engine of the insurgency.

The Taliban draws 60 percent of their revenue from narcotics (and) criminal activity,"

Nicholson said.

But Nicholson played down the impact the strikes would have nationwide.

"I would not call it strategic significance, but it definitively has a significant local

significance in terms of the fight in southern Afghanistan," he said.

Nicholson's two-year tour is winding down later this year.

President Donald Trump has nominated Army Lt. Gen. Scott Miller, the current head of

Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), which oversees the nation's elite commando units,

such as Delta Force, 75th Ranger Regiment and SEAL Team Six, collectively known as the

National Mission Force.

Recently, U.S. drones k****d dozens of Taliban fighters attempting to take over western Farah

Province, which borders Iran.

Last month, the U.S. military launched the second highest number of airstrikes in the

past six and a half years in Afghanistan.

As the ISIS war in Iraq and Syria winds down, the U.S. military is ramping up operations

in Afghanistan.

There are roughly 15,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, about double the number when Trump took office

— far fewer than the 100,000 deployed by former President Barack Obama.

In April, there were more airstrikes in Afghanistan — 562 — than Iraq and Syria combined over

the previous two months.

Many of the strikes targeted Taliban drug labs.

But Taliban attacks remain a real threat and persist.

Wednesday, U.S.-backed Afghan security forces thwarted an attempted s*****e bombing at the

Interior Ministry.

One Afghan policeman was k****d.

Five others were hurt, but no civilians were k****d, according to Afghan officials in Kabul.

Nicholson praised the actions of the Afghan security forces for preventing the attack

from becoming much worse.

"The Afghan guards immediately recognized these as old uniforms, called on the terrorists

to exit the vehicle so they could be checked out, and at that point the fighting started,"

Nicholson said, in his first press conference to Pentagon reporters in six months.

Hundreds of Afghan civilians have been k****d in similar s*****e attacks.

Nicholson blamed the Taliban, or the Haqqani network — a Taliban off-shoot for the attack

on the Interior Ministry.

An ISIS affiliate has taken credit for a spate of attacks against the country's Shia minority

in the past year k*****g hundreds more.

But unlike the ISIS-affiliated fighters, Nicholson said the Taliban is open to peace talks and

the Afghan government has been receptive.

Nicholson said the talks have been conducted in secret, "off the stage."

The statistics speak for themselves.

This is a win for the United States and democracies all across the world and for western civilization.

World War 3 WARNING: US told 'consequences of bombing Syria' set the stage for WAR - Duration: 7:01.

Scores of conspiracy theorists are certain the outbreak of World War Three in the Middle East has been long foretold in the pages of the Christian Bible

One such conspiracy theorist, Dr Bob Thiel of Bible Prophecy, addressed the growing fears and examined the relevant biblical passages which might shed light on the issue

In a bizarre Youtube video titled "Syria and the start of World War Three", the conspiracist warned of immense "consequences" in the aftermath of the Saturday April 4 missiles strikes on Syrian chemical weapons facilities by the US, UK and France

But could the supposedly prophesied "consequences" result in the outbreak of a third global conflict between the world's embittered superpowers?Dr Thiel said: "The strike on Syria on April 4 8, is not really the start of World War Three

World War Three is not some kind of a war with the United States, United Kingdom and France against Russia, Syria and Iran

"But there are going to be consequences. Different types of consequences."One consequence is the Book of Isaiah has some warnings about what will happen with Syrians actually

We read from the New King James version of the Bible, Isaiah nine, starting at verse eight

"'The Lord sent a word against Jacob, and it has fallen on Israel. All the people will know Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria

'"According to Dr Thiel, the passage in the bible is a direct reference to the United Kingdom and the United States, which took part in the joint missile strike over the weekend

The conspiracist then quoted other passages which mention the destruction of Damascus, the Syrian capital and beating heart of the Syrian regime

In his mind, the destruction of Damascus will come at the hand of weapons of mass destruction

Dr Thiel said: "This is going to happen. It hasn't happened yet but it is is going to happen

"It's been claimed Damascus is the oldest continuing inhabited city in the world, and while some other cities claim that title as well, the reality is since the prophet Isaiah was inspired to write this warning about the destruction coming to Damascus it has not yet happened

"Biblical indications are this is something that will happen prior to the start of the Great Tribulation

"But to anyone fearful of the outbreak of World War Three, the conspiracists assured the recent military developments have not yet triggered global conflict

Instead Dr Thiel argued the Saturday missile strike set the stage for later events to occur – namely the destruction of Damascus and the US by a European Power which will serve as a catalyst for World War Three

All of this will supposedly happen just before the Great Tribulation, a period of intense famine, war, destruction and chaos before the end of the world

The conspiracist said: "As far as World War Three goes, it will happen. It's likely we're going to see Damascus destroyed first and that could be due to escalations in the current conflict or things further down the line between Israel and Iran and Syria

"We know the Bible says that Syria's capital Damascus will be destroyed and of course you've got the Islamic State and others who have tried to destroy Damascus as far as Syria goes

"As far as World War Three, yes it is going to come. Is it World War Three right now with what the US, Britain and France did to Syria? No

"The World War Three prophecy comes off the back of self-titled Christian numerologists David Meade warning the end of the world could take place as soon as April 23 8

Mr Meade, who has wrongly predicted the end times on numerous occasions in the past, claimed the mysterious Planet X or Nibiru star system will cross paths with Earth this month

The debunked conspiracist said: "During this time frame, on April 23, 8 the moon appears under the feet of the Constellation Virgo

"The Sun appears to precisely clothe Virgo… Jupiter is birthed on April 8, 8."The 2 stars at that date include the nine stars of Leo, and the three planetary alignments of Mercury, Venus and Mars – which combine to make a count of 2 stars on the head of Virgo

"Thus the constellations Virgo, Leo and Serpens-Ophiuchus represent a unique once-in-a-century sign exactly as depicted in the 2th chapter of Revelation

This is our time marker."

US tariffs a dangerous game, says EU - Duration: 6:55.

US tariffs a dangerous game, says EU

Cecilia Malmstrom said the tariffs had created a very difficult situation. The US is playing a dangerous game by slapping tariffs on European steel and aluminium, the European Unions trade commissioner has said.

Cecilia Malmstrom warned the move by US President Donald Trump would have consequences for the economic recovery of the EU, as well as US consumers.

The EU has issued a 10-page list of tariffs on US goods ranging from Harley-Davidson motorcycles to bourbon.

Canada and Mexico are also planning retaliatory moves against the tariffs.Mr Trump claimed the tariffs would protect US steelmakers, which were vital to national security. He has also complained about barriers US firms face in Europe and elsewhere.

Following Ms Malmstromss speech, he repeated his call for fair trade. Were going to have it for our workers and for our companies and you know what? The other side understands this, he said.

Mr Trump said the US economy is strong enough to handle the consequences of the tariffs and retaliation and dismissed concerns about alienating diplomatic allies. Theyre our allies but they take advantage of us economically, he said.

French President Emmanuel Macron called Mr Trump to tell him the tariffs were illegal. Mr Trump told Mr Macron there was a need for the US to rebalance trade with the EU.

UK International Trade Secretary Liam Fox said the 25% levy on steel was patently absurd, adding: It would be a great pity if we ended up in a tit-for-tat trade dispute with our closest allies.

Gareth Stace, head of trade body UK Steel, said the tariffs were no way to treat your friend and called on the government to safeguard the industrys 31,000 jobs. Justin Trudeau, the Canadian Prime Minister, said the.

US move was totally unacceptable and rejected the claim that his country posed a national security threat to America.

Canada plans to impose tariffs of up to 25% on about $13bn worth of US exports from 1 July. Goods affected will include some American steel, as well as consumer products such as yoghurt, whiskey and coffee.

Opposition to the US tariffs was also voiced by prominent Republicans.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, the most influential Republican in Congress, said the move targets Americas allies when we should be working with them to address the unfair trading practices of countries like China. What do the US tariffs mean?.

Ms Malmstrom said the EU would challenge the move at the World Trade Organization (WTO) but that tariffs on US imports were necessary as we cannot just take these tariffs and stay silent.

The commissioner said that despite the EUs rebalancing action, the two sides were not in a trade war.

What we are in is a very difficult situation, Ms Malmstrom said. This situation could only be defused by the US withdrawing its measures against the EU, she added.

Mr Trump first announced plans for the tariffs in March, but granted some exemptions while countries negotiated.

On Thursday, US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said talks with the EU, Canada and Mexico had not made enough progress to warrant a further reprieve, meaning tariffs of 25% on steel and 10% on aluminium have now come into effect.

They apply to items such as plated steel, slabs, coil, rolls of aluminium and tubes - raw materials that are used extensively across US manufacturing, construction and the oil industry.

Mr Ross said the president could lift the tariffs or alter them at any time: We continue to be quite willing and indeed eager to have discussions with all those parties.

On 18 May, the EU told the WTO it planned to impose counter measures affecting goods worth almost €3bn. If approved by the 28 member states, the sanctions will come into effect in mid-June. What will the economic effect be?.

Canada, Mexico and the EU together exported $23bn (£17bn) worth of steel and aluminium to the US in 2017 - nearly half of the $48bn of total steel and aluminium imports last year.

European firms have said they fear lower US demand for foreign steel will divert shipments to Europe. Analysts at IHS Markit expect the effects to be distributed across a wide range of markets, limiting the effect on steel prices outside the US.

That leaves America to bear the brunt of the economic impact, which economists say will appear in the form of higher prices and job losses - as many as 470,000 by one estimate.

Steel prices in the US have already risen due to the uncertainty and may increase as the tariffs hit imports. Consumers outside the US could see prices of some goods fall, while those in America may end up paying more.

Mueller Investigation Costing US Taxpayers $17 Million…And Counting - Duration: 4:35.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller's ongoing investigation into alleged collusion between

the Trump campaign and Russia has cost American taxpayers $17 million to date and is increasing

fast.

According to a Department of Justice report released on Thursday, the probe, which has

returned no evidence of collusion, spent approximately $10 million between October 2017 and March

this year, according to a Department of Justice report released Thursday.

Between May 2017 and September 2017, the department had spent $6.7 million.

Donald Trump has repeatedly said there was "no collusion."

RT reports: Of the latest $10 million reported, Mueller's office spent $2.7 million on salaries

and benefits, just over $500,000 on travel expenses, and just under $30,000 on office

supplies.

President Donald Trump tweeted the news Friday morning, along with his often repeated assertion

that there was "No Collusion, except by the Democrats."

After an earlier FBI investigation, Mueller was appointed in May to lead an investigation

into "any links and/or coordination between Russian government and individuals associated

with the campaign of President Donald Trump, and any matters that arose or may arise directly

from the investigation."

While the investigation has thus far found no links or coordination, 19 individuals have

been indicted by Mueller.

These include thirteen alleged Russian internet 'trolls', as well as members of Trump's

campaign team.

Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, was indicted on unrelated charges of tax and

bank fraud dating back to 2005 and 2007, and charges of failing to properly register his

lobbying work for the Ukrainian government between 2006 and 2015.

A federal judge in Virginia questioned these charges last month, and claimed that they

were beyond Mueller's remit.

Instead, the judge argued, the charges were aimed at pressing Manafort to provide incriminating

information against Trump.

"You don't really care about Mr. Manafort's bank fraud," Judge T.S. Ellis said to one

of Mueller's prosecutors.

"What you really care about is what information Mr. Manafort could give you that would reflect

on Mr. Trump or lead to his prosecution or impeachment…The vernacular is to 'sing'."

Mueller's office has so far spent $879,000 of taxpayer money per individual indicted,

enough to prosecute 40 homicide cases.

Based on data from Rand Corporation, for the price of the entire investigation so far,

the US Department of Justice could have convicted as many as 770 murderers.

Last December, Mueller discovered that Trump's then-National Security Adviser, Michael Flynn,

lied about a conversation he had with Russia's ambassador to the US, Sergey Kislyak.

While newspapers ran titillating headlines like "Michael Flynn Pleads Guilty to Lying

to the FBI and Will Cooperate With Russia Inquiry," the circumstances surrounding

the guilty plea revealed that Mueller was actually grasping at straws: Flynn had indeed

met with Kislyak – to request that Moscow refrain from retaliating against sanctions

imposed by the outgoing Obama administration in December 2016.

With the collusion narrative falling apart, Mueller's focus shifted to building an obstruction

case against the President, based on his firing of FBI Director James Comey last year.

Comey claims that Trump asked him to end an investigation into Flynn, while Trump insists

that Comey was fired for botching an FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private

email server.

Rudolph Giuliani, Trump's personal attorney, said recently that he expects Mueller's

probe to wrap up by the beginning of September.

Having a president under investigation, he said, would unfairly influence the upcoming

midterm elections.

"You don't want another repeat of the 2016 election where you get contrary reports

at the end and you don't know how it affected the election," Giuliani told the New York

Times, citing Comey's decision to reopen the Hillary Clinton email investigation days

before the polls opened in the US presidential election.

Trump has repeatedly slammed the investigation for its political bias, and accused Mueller

of dragging it out to hurt Republican chances in the midterms.

Gloves are off: Bare-knuckle boxing makes bloody, legal debut in US - Duration: 3:30.

The first ever USA state-sanctioned bare-knuckle boxing match got a bloody ending on Saturday night – and a big response from a rowdy crowd

Arnold Adams, a 32-year-old MMA heavyweight, pounded ex-UFC fighter D.J. Linderman's face into a bloody mess in front of 2,000 loud and wild fans at a hockey rink that usually hosts birthday parties and skating lessons in Wyoming's capital

Adams used an effective left jab to win a technical knockout. The ringside doctor stopped the match after the second round

Tens of thousands more tuned in for the pay-per-view event, which featured 10 bouts, including four heavyweight fights in a tournament format

Fans were lined up outside for more than an hour before the first major bare-knuckle event in the US since 1889

Forrest Peters, from Cheyenne, was among those in attendance. He came to cheer Estevan Payan – who served in the same Army unit as Peters – and to witness history

"With the bare-knuckle fighting and everything, having them bring it back for the first time in over 100 years, you knew it's pretty exciting to see," Peters said

"And especially having it here in Cheyenne, kinda out here where the West is still a little wild

"Payan didn't disappoint, flooring Omar Velar at 1:57 of the opening round of a 145-pound Super Fight

Winners in the heavyweight division will head to a semi-final event in September, with the final two survivors set to clash in the first legalised bare-knuckle heavyweight championship match later in the year

The subsequent matches will also be held at the Cheyenne Ice and Events Center since no other state has wanted the sport

The card also featured legendary underground fighter Bobby Gunn. An all-female match between Bec Rawlings and Alma Garcia was also scheduled

"Wyoming was the first state to grant women the right to vote, so it's only fitting that Wyoming should host the first bare-knuckle fight between women," said Bryan Pedersen, chairman of the Wyoming Sport Combat Commission

"You can read about history or you can make history, and we're going to make history tonight

Analysis | Hurricane Maria was one of the deadliest natural disasters in U.S. history, according to - Duration: 5:42.

President Trump walks with FEMA Administrator William "Brock" Long, second from right, and Lt

Gen. Jeff Buchanan as he tours an area affected by Hurricane Maria in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, on Oct

3, 2017. (Evan Vucci/AP) A study released by the New England Journal of Medicine this week estimated that Hurricane Maria killed roughly 4,645 residents of Puerto Rico after making landfall Sept

20, 2017. That estimate would make Maria one of the deadliest natural disasters to ever strike the United States, according to a tally of disasters compiled by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)

Only the 1900 Galveston hurricane, which killed somewhere between 6,000 and 12,000 people, and two widespread heat waves have been more deadly

There are a number of different ways to define a "disaster." Some tallies include disease outbreaks such as the 1918 flu, while others include man-made catastrophes such as the Sept

11, 2001, terrorist attacks (about 3,000 deaths, per FEMA) and the 1865 Sultana steamboat explosion (roughly 2,000)

For the purposes of the chart above, we've excluded both diseases and human-caused events to focus on what are typically considered "natural" disasters

Hurricanes alone account for four of the 10 deadly disasters on our list. In addition to the Galveston storm and Hurricane Maria, it includes the 1928 hurricane that hit Puerto Rico and Okeechobee, Fla

, killing some 3,000 people. The year 1893 was particularly bad for hurricanes, with a storm that made landfall in Louisiana in October rounding out the list with roughly 2,000 dead

Hurricane Katrina, which struck New Orleans in 2005, barely missed the top 10. More than 1,800 people died as a result of that storm, a situation aggravated by a sluggish federal response and the failure of multiple levees built to protect the iconic city

The New England Journal of Medicine study of Hurricane Maria estimates, conservatively, that from Sept

20 through Dec. 31, 2017, the storm killed nearly three times as many people as did Katrina in 2005

Previous studies have estimated that 1,000 to 1,200 people died between landfall Sept

20 and the end of October. That suggests that the bulk of the 4,600-plus fatalities occurred in November and December, months after the initial crisis passed

According to the study, those deaths resulted from "unsafe or unhealthy conditions resulting in injury, illness, or loss of necessary medical services" in the aftermath of a storm

"Interruption of medical care was the primary cause of sustained high mortality rates in the months after the hurricane," the authors write

The study only looked at the period up to Dec. 31, but challenging conditions have persisted long afterward

By the end of January, for instance, nearly one third of the country was still without power

 That makes it possible that more hurricane-attributable fatalities have occurred well into this year

Early in October last year, President Trump visited the island, tossed paper towel rolls to a crowd and congratulated Puerto Ricans on avoiding "a real catastrophe like Katrina

" According to the New England Journal of Medicine study, thousands of Puerto Ricans would die in the months to come
