U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has reiterated that Washington will walk away from negotiations

with North Korea,... if the planned June 12th summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un

goes south.

Lee Seung-jae reports.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has met with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un twice

- once in April as the CIA director and earlier this month,... as Secretary of State,... when

he brought back three U.S. detainees held by the regime.

But one thing's for sure for Pompeo: "a bad deal is not an option".

In his opening remarks at a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on Wednesday,...

Pompeo reaffirmed that the American people are counting on the Trump administration to

get it right,... and if the right deal is not on the table,... they will walk away.

With America's top diplomat saying the U.S. is still working toward holding the historic

summit with Kim Jong-un on June 12th in Singapore,... he called the denuclearization of North Korea

the Trump administration's "top national security priority",... adding the maximum pressure

campaign of diplomatic and economic sanctions is bearing fruit.

So how did North Korean leader Kim Jong-un appear when he met with Pompeo in Pyongyang?

According to Pompeo himself,... Kim seemed genuine and engaged in 'real conversations',...

adding hopes are high that when he meets President Trump,... he's willing to pursue a strategic

shift.

Pompeo also said the North Korean leader "wanted security assurances from the world, the end

of the status that sits between South and North Korea,... with the eventual goal of

a peace treaty."

While a security assurance remains intact,... the U.S. Secretary of State insisted that

zero concessions have been made to Kim to date,... and the administration has no intention

of providing any until a deal is sealed that are happy with.

The big question remains: Will there be a summit between the leaders of North Korea

and the U.S.?

The world hopes that in the end, the right deal is made to establish lasting peace on

the Korean Peninsula.

Explaining the US-China trade deficit - Duration: 3:58.

A trade deficit is the difference between exports and imports.

And for the United States it's often negative.

It has been negative with China for about close to 20 years and it's grown because

the U.S. has consumed more goods from China than it has exported to China.

One reason for this is because U.S. firms often set up shop in China as part of foreign

direct investments in China in order to produce goods using cheap labor and then to re-export

them back to the United States.

It's these companies, these multinational firms, that create a lot of profit and at

the same time, they generate jobs in the United States in the services sector by hiring people

who do advertising or marketing or financial aspects for their companies.

In addition to that, a lot of goods are simply processed in China.

So that means that some goods are produced in other nations especially in East and Southeast

Asia, and they're processed or put together in China and then re-exported to the United States.

So it's far more complex than China just producing goods and sending them over to us, and us shipping goods to them.

Now, some people have pointed to the trade deficit as something that is very bad.

While others see it as something that is relatively neutral.

President Trump has pointed to it as a symbol of U.S. weakness.

And other China hawks have viewed it as a way in which China has attempted to exploit the United States.

Economists don't see it that way.

And the reason for that is because it makes consumption for American households far cheaper

than if American firms simply produce goods in the United States, in which case they would have to pay far higher wages.

Certainly it has reduced the number of manufacturing jobs that are housed in the United States,

because labor in developing countries like China or Vietnam is far cheaper than it is here.

So, China takes the dollars that we used to pay for goods imported from China and they

can either hold the dollars in terms of reserves or invest the funds in the United States mainly in the form of treasury bonds.

So they're holding U.S. debt which allows America to spend more overall.

So in general, it has been a positive for United States.

President Trump misunderstands and misinterprets what the trade deficit is.

He seems to view it as a debt.

A win or lose game, a zero sum game.

When in actuality, most economists view trade as a win-win solution.

Because in most cases, countries export the goods that they have a comparative advantage in,

that's relatively cheaper for them to produce, and they import goods that are relatively

more expensive for them to produce.

And so in this way, both countries are thought to win out from trade.

So a trade deficit is merely a measure of exports and imports.

It's not about who is winning or who is losing.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says he is "very hopeful" that the upcoming nuclear

SYRIAN PRESIDENT ASSAD SAYS "THE DEEP STATE" IS IN CONTROL OF AMERICA - Duration: 3:13.

SYRIAN PRESIDENT ASSAD SAYS �THE DEEP STATE� IS IN CONTROL OF AMERICA, NOT TRUMP

BY JOE MARTINO

In an exclusive interview with Greek newspaper The Kathimerini, Bashar Al Assad has stated

that the true people in control of the United States President are the deep state.

A truth widely talked about in alternative news but silenced in elite owned mainstream

media, the reality of the deep state, not only in America but the world in general,

is one that must make its way into mass consciousness if we want to begin to see real change.

��A further reason is that we don�t think the president of that regime is in control.

We all believe that the deep state, the real state, is in control, or is in control of

every president, and that is nothing new.

It has always been so in the United States, at least during the last 40 years, at least

since Nixon, maybe before, but it�s becoming starker and starker, and the starkest case

is Trump.� Assad said to The Kathimerini

The interview raised questions about the alleged recent chemical attacks in Syria.

We had reported that the reason for this false narrative going around the western media was

to gain the manufactured consent from the people to approve of an attack on Syria in

an attempt to destabilize it.

Assad further discusses this in the interview when he stated; �When the terrorists lost,

the US, France, the UK and their other allies who want to destabilize Syria lost one of

their main cards, and that�s why they had to attack the Syrian Army, just to raise the

morale of the terrorists and to prevent the Syrian Army from liberating more areas in

Syria.�

Of course who funds and supports these terrorists?

The very countries allied together who joined for the Syrian attack; US, France, the UK.

We can see quite clearly that it�s simply the Western media trying to again convince

the public there is an enemy out there and we must do something about it.

Of course they never provide real evidence of this.

Just like with 9/11.

So What Do We Do?

At the end of the day what do we do with this information?

We opt our consciousness OUT of the old world.

Often times we want to come up with some physical solution to stop this, when in reality the

majority of it starts within.

If we can shift collective consciousness in a way that begins to face these truths head

on and stops us from turning a blind eye to what is truly going on, we will begin to see

the world differently.

Further, we then have the opportunity to opt out of supporting the world as it is today.

The more of us that do that, the more we open the door for more people to do the same, and

thus a shift occurs in the physical world.

US Politicians Call for Congressional Hearing on UFOs - Duration: 4:32.

US Politicians Call for Congressional Hearing on UFOs

BY Paul Seaburn

It�s long been said that �If you want something done right, do it yourself.� How

long?

The quote is attributed to French playwright Charles-Guillaume �tienne in the early 1800s.

The saying in French is �On n�est jamais servi si bien que par soi-m�me,� which

translates literally to the more cumbersome �One is never served so well as by oneself.�

Two hundred years later, the saying resonates stronger than ever, and now it�s becoming

a driving force in the world of UFOs (see Tom DeLonge).

Politico, the Washington DC-based political journal, recently began a website called POLITICO

Space, a �weekly must-read briefing on the policies and personalities shaping the second

space age.�

To launch POLITICO Space, Politico Defense Editor and Space writer Bryan Bender held

an announcement panel discussion in mid-April.

Joining him were fellow space Jaqueline Klimas, President and CEO of the Coalition for Deep

Space Exploration Mary Lynne Dittmar and US Congressional Representatives Ami Bera (Democrat,

California) and Randy Hultgren (Republican, Illinois).

This was no space junket � Dittmar is an advisor President Trump on space policy and

Bera and Hultgren are members of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.

When you�re doing things yourself, you don�t let the opportunity to question space heavyweights

and policy makers pass you by, so Bryan Bender referred to the Pentagon UFO revelations of

last December and hit them with both barrels of his photon torpedo launcher:

�You hear these reports.

We have been hearing them for decades from many credible people.

Other countries take it more seriously.

They have government researchers who, in the open, not in secrecy, try to explain the unexplainable.

Should we be doing more?

Or is this just crazy sci-fi stuff that is a waste of time?�

Talk about a loaded question!

It would have been easy to deflect it (after all � they�re politicians) and move to

what they really want to talk about (campaign donations), but Representative Bera gave a

straightforward and unexpected answer.

�I�ve actually talked to the chairman of the subcommittee, Brian Babin, as well

as Lamar Smith, the chairman of the full committee.

I said we ought to have a hearing on this, right?

We ought to bring some folks in.

Look, if you want to boost our C-SPAN ratings, a lot of people would be really interested.

We don�t know what these phenomena are.

Obviously, it�s important enough to allocate some funds and we ought to talk about what

we can talk about.�

Bera said the magic word � �funds.� Spending money shows he�s serious.

And he wants to put it on TV, which should get the president interested.

Republican Hultgren agrees.

�It definitely piques interest.

It gets people engaged.� We�re already piqued and engaged � it�s

time for Congress to catch up.

Will government money really get allocated and spent on opening up secret files and getting

new UFO research started?

Will the discussions be held out in the open on C-SPAN?

(Would they get more viewers on Netflix?)

Representatives Bera and Hultgren have committed and they name-dropped Brian Babin and Lamar

Smith � both Republicans from Texas.

Smith is retiring so Babin better get onboard.

He doesn�t have to worry about the 2018 election because his only opponent is the

Green Party candidate (which in Texas means he�s running unopposed).

Will they follow through?

Expect POLITICO to keep reminding them.

And a special thanks to POLITICO Space for reminding us once again:

�If you want something done right, do it yourself.�

LOU DOBBS: Deep state STONEWALLING - Duration: 10:58.

senior White House adviser and presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner

has regained his top-secret security clearance Kushner's Clarence revoked

back in February when the White House changed security policy after

allegations of spousal abuse were levied against a top aide at the White House

Rob Porter the Justice Department ordering FBI senior official Peter

struck and Lisa Paige to preserve all of their emails between 2015 and December

of 2017 that after a request from government watchdog Judicial Watch the

FBI also agreed to release 13,000 pages of undisclosed emails between the pair

on a rolling basis over the next two years let me repeat that on a rolling

basis over the next two years to find out what that might mean is the man who

is getting all of those documents and his as a result of the Judicial Watch

request Judicial Watch president Tom Fenton Tom great to have you with us I

first of all the idea that you have to ask them to preserve their

communications between page and Strock after they have obviously played such a

central role in this scandal that's stunning well at least the FBI responded

positively to our requests because we saw the text messages that have been

publicly released there was a suggestion that they were going to communicate

about government business on their personal devices and so we asked the FBI

hey look make sure all those records are protected and preserved so they said

they were going to send letters the requesting this truck and page protect

those records and preserve them you know but in the meantime they found 13,000

pages of Records texts emails other attachments between page and struck and

they say they can only release them to us at the rate of 500 pages a month and

the court ordered them to release them to us but obviously that's way too slow

it's a perfect example the shell games and stonewalling that the FBI DOJ are

playing on these key records it is stonewalling by any name we can

call it slow walking we can do any number of things but this is outrageous

we've seen it to also occur with the State Department and Clinton documents

that are still being tricked out it is it is stunning than a judge unless they

are part of the conspiracy would go along with this it is first of all it's

kind of sending its patronizing and it is egregious conduct on the part of the

Justice Department as you have pointed out over the course of the past really

two years here and here we are in in May of 2018 and it goes on and on well

recall they hit these text messages for at least a year from Congress in the

American people they hid the reason for Struck's removal from molars operation

both the theö jmo ler hid that from Congress and the American people now the

text messages has come out they've only been released partially as best as we

can tell there may be other communications from instruction page now

well over 13,000 pages and they want to release them to us at a rate of 500

pages a month unfortunately the court endorsed that but there's nothing

preventing when the FBI and DOJ from accelerating that and frankly from

President Trump like he did with last weekend ordering them to start releasing

these records in a more timely and speedy way I'm sure this does not fit

the definition of what the president stated when he called for absolute

transparency on the part of the Justice Department of the FBI our eating's it's

willful disregard for the commander-in-chief's orders if they were

to persist in this is it not you know I you know the White House once these

records released they want this extreme transparency the agencies want to do

their own thing and they think they're independent of the president which is

not constitutional and as far as I'm concerned the president should be more

direct and just direct the agencies to start complying with the FOIA law we're

not asking for any special treatment we just want them to follow federal law

that requires the timely release of records that certainly the public has a

to say see and a and a serious right to see in light of the corruption we think

is tied to the records we have you can declassify the files and materials get

out the unmasking materials get the Peter struck page he materials out get

all the helper materials out the spy gate materials out the government

sitting on these and the White House can get them out the lawyers in the White

House need to enable the President and facilitate his ordering the records

releases you know Spygate is the president calls it it's Obama gate at

this point because now two of his spy masters have come out and said this is

what they did yeah they have taken ownership of spying on this president by

they've confirmed it they've got her absolutely straightforward statements

both of them over a 24-hour period well there is no there's no mystery left this

is now Obama gate well that's exactly right and you can bet that nothing like

this would have been done without the president's involvement

you know congressman gates were referred to the emails that the text message is

saying the White House was directing this remember the Comey and clapper said

you know that were spying or there was something like that but it was all done

by the book which is kind of like what Susan Rice wrote a few weeks after that

infamous oval office meeting with Barack Obama when they were talking about using

that dossier and going after Trump with it a little convenient and a little

revisionist it's all but you know it's spine but it was all by the book

yes everyone go back to sleep well Saturday all goes well for that

particular following that particular book call me

clapper Brennan the rest of them face civil and criminal liability because of

this they're going to have to account and there's got to be a process for

getting them to account tom Fitton is always good to have you with us thanks

so much you're welcome be sure to vote on our poll tonight the question is do

you find it disgraceful that not a single member of Congress of either

party is called upon President Obama to explain his role in the spying on the

Trump presidential campaign cast your vote on Twitter at Bloo Dobbs

With highest hepatitis C mortality rate in U.S., Oregon expands access to life-saving drugs - Duration: 8:31.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Now: the latest on a medical breakthrough that's starting to have an impact

on a hidden, deadly epidemic in this country.

New drugs can cure up to 95 percent of patients with hepatitis C, a virus that often leads

to debilitating or deadly results.

The drugs can save lives, prevent expensive hospitalizations and liver transplants.

But some states are feeling the squeeze of the cost of this medicine.

Special correspondent Cat Wise has our report for our weekly series on the Leading Edge

of science.

CAT WISE: Three-point-five million Americans are living with a potentially deadly virus,

and half don't even know it.

It's hepatitis C, a blood-borne pathogen which attacks the liver and can eventually cause

serious liver problems, including cirrhosis and liver cancer.

Three-quarters of those with the virus are baby boomers, exposed from unscreened blood

transfusions, I.V. drug use, and other blood-to-blood contact prior to the early '90s.

But now the opioid epidemic has led to a 20 percent rise in new infections from 2015 to

2016.

One state where the young and the old have been hit hard by the disease is Oregon.

Oregon has the highest hepatitis C mortality rate, per capita, in the country.

It's estimated about 100,000 Oregonians have been infected with the virus and more than

500 die every year.

It's been a very difficult disease to treat, but over the last four years, there's been

a revolution in hep C drugs.

Many are being cured around the country now, and here in Oregon, many are coming here to

the Oregon Clinic for those treatments.

DR.

KENT BENNER, The Oregon Clinic: We never talked about cure of hep C until the last few years,

and now we're all talking about cure of hep C.

CAT WISE: Dr. Kent Benner is a gastroenterologist and hepatologist at the clinic in Portland.

He says people are still dying from the disease, often because they haven't been tested and

aren't aware they have virus until they are quite sick.

But Benner says much has changed since he first started treating patients several decades

ago.

DR.

KENT BENNER: Treatment at that time was interferon.

This required injections, shots several times a week.

Quite a few side effects.

We felt we were doing well if we could cure 15 or 20 percent of patients.

Since late 2013, there's been a remarkable development from a number of different companies.

They have developed drug combinations that provide 95 percent cure rates in patients

we treat.

CAT WISE: Costly liver transplants are often the only option when the liver becomes too

badly damaged.

But at earlier disease stages, the liver often starts to heal once the medicines have cleared

virus from the body.

DR.

KENT BENNER: Not only are we seeing liver function improve, but patients with more advanced

liver disease occasionally can come off the transplant list.

CAT WISE: Sixty-four-year-old Rob Shinney, who recently had knee surgery, is one of those

cured by the new hep C drugs known as direct-acting antivirals, or DAAs.

Like many others of his generation, he doesn't really know how he contracted the virus.

Under the care of Dr. Benner, Shinney began a three-month treatment in late 2016 after

his liver showed signs of moderate scarring known as fibrosis.

Tests later confirmed he was virus-free.

ROB SHINNEY, Patient: I had a serious chronic illness hanging over my head that I knew could

kill me.

And that's gone now.

CAT WISE: We spoke at a local pub he visits now and again with his choir friends, something

he never did when he had the virus.

ROB SHINNEY: I swear I felt like I was 20 years younger.

I had energy.

I could do things.

It's great just to be able to sit around and have a beer with everybody and, you know,

just enjoy life.

CAT WISE: The cost of the drugs used to cure Shinney, who has private insurance, aren't

cheap.

Since Gilead Sciences' Sovaldi first hit the market in late 2013 at a whopping $84,000

for a course of therapy, competitors have steadily lowered the costs.

Last year, a new medication called Mavyret was released for around $26,000.

Many payers often, though, negotiate even lower prices with the drug company.

Still, the drugs are expensive, and they aren't a vaccine.

If someone is cured, they can become reinfected.

Access to the drugs varies widely around the country.

A report last year by two national advocacy organizations found that many public and private

payers choose to limit access to DAAs due to their cost, as well as other concerns.

Oregon is among a number of states which have had restrictive Medicaid requirements, including

denying coverage to patients in the early stages of disease and those who are abusing

drugs and alcohol.

But some of those restrictions are beginning to ease.

DR.

DANA HARGUNANI, Oregon Health Authority: In January, we just started covering individuals

with lower stages or lower levels of fibrosis.

CAT WISE: Dr. Dana Hargunani is the chief medical officer for the Oregon Health Authority,

which oversees the state's Medicaid program.

She says, while the state is starting to expand access, costs are still a significant issue.

Oregon has spent more than $94 million on the drugs since 2014, covering about 1,500

people.

DR.

DANA HARGUNANI: The newer treatments for hepatitis C have a significant budget impact for our

state.

We had to get additional funding through the legislative process.

We're trying to manage our limited resources to ensure coverage for those who need it immediately

for the hepatitis C treatment, as well as all the other individuals in our Medicaid

program.

CAT WISE: Hargunani says another reason the state delays coverage until patients have

mild liver scarring, not everyone needs the medicines.

DR.

DANA HARGUNANI: One in five individuals who get infected with hepatitis C will spontaneously

clear their infection.

Right now, the data doesn't help us understand how to know which individuals will need to

have a high-cost drug to treat and cure their infection.

DR.

BRIANNA SUSTERSIC, Central City Concern: Luckily, he doesn't have any evidence of cirrhosis.

CAT WISE: Dr. Brianna Sustersic is a medical director at Central City Concern, a federally

funded health center in downtown Portland which serves a large number of homeless individuals,

many of whom have substance abuse disorders; 25 percent to 50 percent of the patients have

hep C.

DR.

BRIANNA SUSTERSIC: The Medicaid requirements have limited access to treatment for many

of our patients.

From a public health standpoint, if we are able to treat the population who is contracting

this, and spreading it, then we can move toward eradicating the disease.

CAT WISE: To prove that point, and to meet a big need, the clinic and a local syringe

exchange program began a small drug company-sponsored study last year to treat patients who otherwise

wouldn't have qualified for the medications; 56-year-old Kim Trano is now virus-free thanks

to that trial.

She says she's felt a lot of stigma being a recovering drug user and it was hard to

learn she had initially been denied drug coverage.

To those who would question giving expensive medicines to someone who might become reinfected,

she says:

KIM TRANO, Patient: Everyone is worthy of a chance.

If I were to relapse, I would all precautions not to be reinfected.

And that's pretty easy to do.

Most people know how to do that.

CAT WISE: The new medicines combined with the big surge in those looking for treatment

has led to a unique care model.

Chris Hulstein is not a doctor.

He's a clinical pharmacist and part of a new program at Portland's Providence Hospital.

Over the past year, about 50 patients have been successfully treated by Hulstein and

his colleagues.

Another 30 are currently in treatment.

CHRIS HULSTEIN, Clinical Pharmacist: A lot of the specialists are very busy managing

very complex patients, and that is their role.

Having a pharmacist being able to manage the patient gets patients treated faster and more

successfully than we ever have been able to do before.

CAT WISE: Hepatitis C advocates are now working with the state and private insurers to open

up more access to the drugs.

For the "PBS NewsHour," I'm Cat Wise in Portland, Oregon.

Ex-CIA Officer is Naming Names as He Exposes 'The Deep State' Coup Happening in America - Duration: 8:18.

Ex-CIA Officer is Naming Names as He Exposes �The Deep State� Coup Happening in America

by Arjun Walia

� �There is essentially a civil war involving parts of senior management and upper parts

of our government that is occurring in the United States.

It�s between the �Dark� side and the �Constitutional� side.

There has never been anything like this in history.

It is extremely serious, and this is an extremely serious hour for our government and especially

for our constitutional freedoms.

. . . This essentially is a global criminal cabal that has penetrated into our government

and now has senior level officials colluding and, I would argue, conspiring to unseat this

president.� � former CIA officer Kevin Shipp

� There is a government within the government, and many within this �political game�

are well aware of it.

Greg Hunter of USAwatchdog.com interviews Shipp (see 25:53 minute video below) about

what�s currently happening within U.S., global politics, and the Deep State.

� In the video, Shipp goes into detail about a coup in the US government that attempted

to hijack the 2016 Presidential election to install the Deep State�s puppet candidate,

Hillary Clinton, and to create a one-party political system.

This stems not from a corrupted bureaucracy, but from an elite and all-powerful corporatocracy

controlling the government.

The Deep State responded to Trump�s upset election victory by blaming the Russia for

Hillary�s loss and censorship of independent non corporate/government sponsored media�s

�fake news�.

� According to Shipp, Donald Trump is an outsider and not part of the Deep State.

His administration is now at war with the Deep State bureaucrats embedded within the

government.

�We have a coup within our government right now at the senior levels at the CIA, DOJ and

the FBI attempting to unseat a duly elected President,� said Shipp.

� Never before has the idea of a shadowy �Deep State� government been acknowledged

by the mainstream and by global politicians/academicians around the world.

It�s no longer taboo to talk about these things without automatically being labeled

as a �conspiracy theory�.

We find ourselves now going through a major transition.

The world is waking up fast and it�s going to be interesting to see what happens.

� [Editor�s Note] Nipping at Trump�s heals is just the visible tip of a massive

program of manipulation and deception that the Deep State elite has perpetrated on the

people of America and the world, especially since WWII.

The theater being played out in the mainstream media is merely a distraction hiding an almost

unimaginable concentration of wealth by a small elite group.

This elite controls access to a secretive breakaway society possessing highly advanced

technology leading all the way up to a hierarchy of several secret space programs, including

some that routinely interact with extraterrestrial civilizations across the galaxy.

For an in-depth break-down of the Deep State�s cover-up and smear campaign against Donald

Trump in 2016-2017, see this three-part ExoNews article on Seth Rich.

�There is essentially a civil war involving parts of senior management and upper parts

of our government that is occurring in the United States.

It�s between the �Dark� side and the �Constitutional� side.

There has never been anything like this in history.

It is extremely serious, and this is an extremely serious hour for our government and especially

for our constitutional freedoms.

. . . This essentially is a global criminal cabal that has penetrated into our government

and now has senior level officials colluding and, I would argue, conspiring to unseat this

president.�

Above are the words of Kevin Shipp, a former CIA officer turned whistleblower who is and

has been, exposing what seems to be the rhetoric of various other whistleblowers like Thomas

Drake, William Binney, Sibel Edmunds, Edward Snowden and more.

There is a government within the government, and many within this �political game�

are well aware of it and as the 28th U.S. President once wrote, �know that there is

a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete,

so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation

of it.� Greg Hunter of USAwatchdog.com released the

interview with Shipp (below), who goes in depth about what�s currently happening within

U.S. and global politics.

We need people like this, especially as more and more people realize there is not much

truth or substance that comes from mainstream media.

The picture always seems to be painted a certain way to benefit a small group of powerful people,

these are the people that Shipp is referring to.

The Deep State

Shipp goes into detail about a coup within U.S. politics that�s been underway since

2006, with the objective to overthrow America and destroy the outcome of the 2016 presidential

election.

James Comey is also discussed, and is referred to as a puppet for the likes of Hillary Clinton,

Robert Mueller, and more� �We have a well-organized political-action

group in this country, determined to destroy our Constitution and establish a one-party

state � It operates secretly, silently, continuously to transform our Government � This

ruthless power-seeking elite is a disease of our century� This group � is answerable

neither to the President, the Congress, nor the courts.

It is practically irremovable.� � Senator William Jenner

Donald Trump has even mentioned some of his administration as making up part of the Deep

State.

More on that later.

Before You Listen To The Interview, Something To Keep In Mind

Before you listen to the interview, there are a few important things to consider when

discussing this topic.

The main one is to always keep in mind what�s really happened within the U.S government.

It�s far from a democracy, more like a corporatocracy, and in the words of Theodore Roosevelt, �behind

the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and

acknowledging no responsibility to the people.

To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business

and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day.�

There is a power that has risen up which controls the U.S. government, and now more than ever

it�s there for us to see.

Especially with the events that have transpired in Syria, everything that�s happening in

the U.S., 9/11, and what seems to be a massive propaganda campaign about what is going on

overseas and in Iran.

Furthermore, blaming Russia for Hillary Clinton�s loss and more, a slew of fake news has hit

mainstream media and it has coincided with the censorship of independent non corporate/government

sponsored media, like Collective Evolution.

The answer to fake news is not more censorship, it�s more transparency.

We don�t need government, or the Deep State to step in and decide what�s real and not

for the people.

Never before has there been such an awakening, never before has the idea of the �Deep State�

government, a shadowy government, been acknowledged by the mainstream and by global politicians/academicians

around the world.

It�s no longer taboo to talk about these things, and mention them, but every now and

then you still get the �conspiracy theory� response, simply because the information conflicts

with mainstream beliefs.

SYRIAN PRESIDENT ASSAD SAYS "THE DEEP STATE" IS IN CONTROL OF AMERICA, NOT TRUMP - Duration: 3:24.

SYRIAN PRESIDENT ASSAD SAYS �THE DEEP STATE� IS IN CONTROL OF AMERICA, NOT TRUMP

BY JOE MARTINO

In an exclusive interview with Greek newspaper The Kathimerini, Bashar Al Assad has stated

that the true people in control of the United States President are the deep state.

A truth widely talked about in alternative news but silenced in elite owned mainstream

media, the reality of the deep state, not only in America but the world in general,

is one that must make its way into mass consciousness if we want to begin to see real change.

��A further reason is that we don�t think the president of that regime is in control.

We all believe that the deep state, the real state, is in control, or is in control of

every president, and that is nothing new.

It has always been so in the United States, at least during the last 40 years, at least

since Nixon, maybe before, but it�s becoming starker and starker, and the starkest case

is Trump.� Assad said to The Kathimerini

The interview raised questions about the alleged recent chemical attacks in Syria.

We had reported that the reason for this false narrative going around the western media was

to gain the manufactured consent from the people to approve of an attack on Syria in

an attempt to destabilize it.

Assad further discusses this in the interview when he stated; �When the terrorists lost,

the US, France, the UK and their other allies who want to destabilize Syria lost one of

their main cards, and that�s why they had to attack the Syrian Army, just to raise the

morale of the terrorists and to prevent the Syrian Army from liberating more areas in

Syria.�

Of course who funds and supports these terrorists?

The very countries allied together who joined for the Syrian attack; US, France, the UK.

We can see quite clearly that it�s simply the Western media trying to again convince

the public there is an enemy out there and we must do something about it.

Of course they never provide real evidence of this.

Just like with 9/11.

So What Do We Do?

At the end of the day what do we do with this information?

We opt our consciousness OUT of the old world.

Often times we want to come up with some physical solution to stop this, when in reality the

majority of it starts within.

If we can shift collective consciousness in a way that begins to face these truths head

on and stops us from turning a blind eye to what is truly going on, we will begin to see

the world differently.

Further, we then have the opportunity to opt out of supporting the world as it is today.

The more of us that do that, the more we open the door for more people to do the same, and

thus a shift occurs in the physical world.

How the US Government Kept a Town of 75,000 Secret - Duration: 5:10.

This video was made possible by Hover.

Oak Ridge, Tennessee is a small American town just like any other.

They've got a Walmart, a Dollar General, an Aldi, a thermonuclear weapons development

site, and two McDonald's and yet from 1942 to 1945, Oak Ridge, which at the time was

the fifth largest town in Tennessee, did not exist and this isn't like how Canada doesn't

exist.

Oak Ridge actually did exist but nobody knew about it.

In October, 1942, the 1,000 or so residents of the area came home to find notes on their

doors telling them they had six weeks to get out—the government had acquired their land

through eminent domain.

I'm sure that was a bummer but too bad—there was a war going on.

Wait, are we allowed to make World War Two jokes yet?

Eh I'm not sure but I do need to stop…

Stalin.

So, in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, after all the fences and buildings went up in a matter of

months, the recruited workers were told next to nothing.

All they knew was that their work would end the war.

Spoiler alert, it did, because they were building the atomic bomb in what was known as the Manhattan

Project.

The name supposedly originated from the fact that the sites were quite similar to New York—they

used about the same amount of electricity due to all the machinery, the air was toxic,

they had to overpay the residents to convince them to live in bad conditions, and the people

all thought they were more important than they were.

The bad guys in World War Two were not great so it was pretty important that the US didn't

accidentally leak information to Axis spies.

Therefore, the entire 75,000 person town of Oak Ridge, Tennessee was 100% confidential—not

even the Vice President knew it existed.

When the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima that was the first time that all but a select few

individuals even knew such a bomb existed.

It was pretty, you know, bombshell news.

The way the government kept this enormous operation confidential was just as ingenious

as the technology they were building.

Oak Ridge did not exist on any map.

Houses were built outside the town and brought in to be placed so as few construction workers

as possible would enter.

Every single piece of mail going in and out was searched and read through not only to

make sure there we no details of the work going on within the fences but also to be

sure that nobody was including codes that communicated details.

There were signs like this all around the town reminding everyone that what they were

doing was secret but, in the governments mind, with 75,000 people, it was inevitable that

a few spies would get in.

For that reason, almost everyone had no clue what they were doing but not in the in the

way that I have no clue what I'm doing making comedic YouTube videos.

The workers literally did not know what they were building.

According to one estimate, only a few dozen people knew that the atomic bomb existed before

the bombing of Hiroshima even though hundreds of thousands of people at Oak Ridge and other

Manhattan Project sites built it.

The workers learned about what they were building from the newspaper the day after the bomb

dropped.

Each and every individual would have a single task and the only people who knew how it related

to other tasks were the few highest ranked scientists.

One individual, for example, was tasked with watching a dial, turning a valve when it reached

100, and that was it.

He had no idea why he was doing that.

The individual tasks were tiny and mundane—it was like working at McDonald's except that

at McDonald's what you make kills Americans too.

Another individual working in the laundry was told to hold up a machine to each article

of clothing and listen for a clicking sound.

Little did she know she was checking for radiation using a geiger counter.

Security officers roamed all around Oak Ridge and monitored for anything suspicious.

Groups of more than seven and having the same person over repeatedly was considered suspicious

so residents avoided that since they knew that, if the security officers were suspicious

in the slightest, even if it was unproven, they would get kicked out for good.

If a leak was proven, the resident would either be jailed for 10 years or fined the equivalent

of $100,000.

Overall, the bad guys in this war were really bad so Americans were really into the idea

of winning so even those that had a good idea what was going on in Oak Ridge kept silent

out of a sense of patriotism—not wanting to let out information that could help the

enemy.

Throughout this all, however, Oak Ridge had stores and restaurants and even sports teams.

Oak Ridge looked like a regular American town—just one that built the most deadly weapon that

has ever existed.

US Sanctions on Iran and Venezuela: Illegal and Destructive - Duration: 15:06.

SHARMINI PERIES: It's the Real News Network.

I'm Sharmini Peries, coming to you from Baltimore.

On Monday, the Trump administration announced a new round of economic sanctions against

both Venezuela and against Iran.

The stated rationale behind the sanctions against each of these countries are somewhat

different.

In the case of Iran, hypocritical as this may sound, the U.S. is saying that the sanctions

are intended to pressure Iran to reduce its alleged interference in other countries in

the Middle East, and for it to give up its nuclear energy and ballistic missile programs.

In a speech at the Heritage Foundation on Monday morning, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo

had this to say about the latest round of sanctions against Iran.

MIKE POMPEO: The sting of sanctions will be painful if the regime does not change its

course from the unacceptable and unproductive path it has chosen, to one that rejoins the

League of Nations.

These will indeed end up being the strongest sanctions in history when we are complete.

The regime has been fighting all over the Middle East for years.

After our sanctions come in force it will be battling to keep its economy alive.

SHARMINI PERIES: In the case of Venezuela, sanctions are supposedly being imposed demanding

that Venezuela restore democracy.

Earlier this month, Vice President Mike Pence made his case at the OAS outlining more U.S.

sanctions against Venezuela.

Let's listen.

MIKE PENCE: We've already imposed strict financial sanctions on more than 50 current and former

senior Venezuelan officials.

We cut off the so-called Petro from the United States financial system.

SHARMINI PERIES: Pence, though, fails to mention that the financial sanctions that have already

been placed against Venezuela since last August, and which prohibit investors from buying and

selling Venezuelan bonds, making it impossible for Venezuela to even restructure its debt.

What do the sanctions against Venezuela and Iran have in common, and how are they being

presented to the public?

Joining me now to discuss this is Mark Weisbrot.

Mark is director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, and is the author of

the book "Failed: What Experts Got Wrong About the Global Economy."

Thanks for joining us, Mark.

MARK WEISBROT: Thanks for inviting me, Sharmini.

SHARMINI PERIES: So, Mark, the Trump administration announced new sanctions against both Venezuela

and Iran on Monday.

First, what effect will these sanctions have on each of these countries?

MARK WEISBROT: Well, it's different in each case.

In the case of Iran it will depend very much on how much other countries go along with

the United States, although they'll have an impact in any case.

But it very much depends, because in the case of Iran, the United States government is threatening

the European Union, for example, with sanctions against their companies if they actually violate

the sanctions that the U.S. wants to impose, reimpose, on Iran.

SHARMINI PERIES: And in the case of Venezuela?

MARK WEISBROT: In the case of Venezuela it's basically U.S., for the most part.

And there you already have a financial embargo which prevents Venezuela from borrowing.

And that is very drastic, because without being able to borrow, they can't roll over

their loans, for example.

So normally when debt comes due, bonds come due when they mature, government will just

roll that over, will borrow again, and then they just have to pay the interest consistently.

But in Venezuela they've had to pay the principal as well, because they can't borrow.

And they can't restructure that debt either under the U.S. sanctions, because that involves

borrowing.

And they also can't borrow-.

They Lose a lot of other possibilities for credit as well, because financial institutions

tend to be cautious, and they don't want to go against the sanctions.

So even the imports of some medicines have been affected by that, although depriving

the government of foreign exchange has also contributed to shortages of lifesaving medicines,

as well as food.

And of course, the U.S. didn't create the crisis there.

It did, recession began in 2014, when oil was still $100 a barrel.

But what these sanctions have done is make it nearly impossible for Venezuela to get

out of the depression and the hyperinflation that the economy is caught in now, and that

is the purpose, I think, of those sanctions.

And that's the other thing the two sets of sanctions now have in common.

In both cases the Trump administration has made it pretty much explicit that the purpose

of harming these two economies is to get rid of the government in both cases.

SHARMINI PERIES: All right.

Now, in addition to this, there are certain laws and international laws that are in place

to protect countries from having these kinds of sanctions imposed upon them.

And clearly in the case of Iran we had the Iran nuclear agreement, which actually lifted

sanctions, and so that Iran wasn't subject to such extreme measures.

But what is the legal status of these sanctions both, in both cases, both in Iran and Venezuela?

MARK WEISBROT: Well, they're both illegal under international law.

And in Venezuela, for example, they violate the OAS charter, and they also violate international

treaties that the U.S. has signed which prohibit such things as collective punishment.

In the Iranian case they violate the UN, the agreement, the JPCOA, which was the agreement

that removed the UN sanctions against Iran, the US was a signatory to that.

And so they are now reneging on that agreement.

So that's in violation of the law, international law as well.

And of course they will also violate the, the WTO rule, as well.

SHARMINI PERIES: All right.

Now, Mark, what is really interesting about these two cases we are discussing is the way

in which it is presented, these sanctions against Iran and Venezuela, by both the media

and the administration.

Speak to the way in which it is being differently handled.

MARK WEISBROT: Yeah, that's the thing I find most striking.

And it has a number of causes.

But if you look at the case of Iran and the Trump administration, you know, going back

on the agreement and imposing new sanctions, and being very bellicose, as you saw with

this speech from Pompeo, there's a quite a bit of opposition to that in the media.

And in fact, you know, you had an op-ed in the New York Times on Friday by two former

security council members from the Obama administration, saying that if Europe doesn't stand up to

this we might as well start referring to them as the 28 colonies instead of the European

Union.

So there's this idea that this is wrong, and people should stand up to it.

Whereas The Venezuelan sanctions are just treated as though this is the way the world

works, it's the law of the jungle.

If the U.S. wants to overthrow this government, threaten military action, as they've done,

and call for a military coup within the country, and try to destroy the economy in order to

topple the government that that's OK.

I mean, you don't see anybody, really, very few voices anywhere, that reach a mass audience

in this country, or in the Western media that think anything's wrong with that.

It's a very striking contrast.

SHARMINI PERIES: Mark, you follow what is happening in Latin America in particular for

a long time now.

And these kinds of gestures have happened before, both to Venezuela and other countries

in Latin America.

Give us a sense, a brief history of that, that the model that the U.S. is replicating

here.

MARK WEISBROT: Well, they've been trying to get rid of the left governments.

You know, there was in the 21st century, as we've talked about here, you know, left governments

were elected in countries that had the majority of the population of of Latin America.

In Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Ecuador, Bolivia, Venezuela, El Salvador, Nicaragua.

And so this was a major change.

And from the beginning, which, this started in 1998, the U.S. was involved in many efforts

to get rid of these governments.

So in that sense the Trump administration is continuous with both the Bush and the Obama

administration, but it's being much more aggressive.

In fact, I don't remember the U.S. ever calling for a military coup openly before the coup

happened, not even in Chile in 1973, where they were directly involved in that coup,

did they ever say anything like that.

So they're more extreme, but it is a continuous program of trying to get rid of left governments

in the hemisphere, and they did succeed in getting rid of some of them, the weaker ones.

The smaller and poor countries in Haiti, Honduras, Paraguay.

And they did also, I mean, by other means, I think they contributed to the coming to

power of the right-wing governments in Brazil and Argentina.

So that's been the program, and of course now they want to get rid of Venezuela, which

they've been trying to do for, you know, at least the past 15-16 years.

And the thing is, one of the reasons they're able to get away with this now, when they

couldn't, say, in 2013 when Obama, who was much more well-liked in the world than Trump

is, tried to not recognize the presidential elections in Venezuela when the whole world

recognized, except for the United States and the right-wing government of Spain.

And they couldn't get away with it because you had left governments in Brazil and Argentina

and these other countries, and they pushed back.

And Now you have right-wing governments in these countries and so the U.S. was able to

put together a group of allies in Latin America which support its efforts to topple the Venezuelan

government, and of course they also get their European allies, who are standing up to them

on Iran, but solidly with them toppling the Venezuelan government.

SHARMINI PERIES: Mark, in the case of Iran one can argue that there was a nuclear program

there.

There may be some real threats that the U.S. perceives in terms of national security issues.

But the same doesn't exist in Venezuela.

Can you comment on that?

MARK WEISBROT: Yeah, I think that's what's most ironic about the way these two sets of

sanctions are viewed and discussed in our media, especially in Western media generally,

because in the case of Iran, as you mentioned, the UN-approved sanctions that were lifted

in 2016 were, in fact, directed at Iran's nuclear program and its capability, possibly,

possible capability to produce nuclear weapons.

And in the case of Venezuela there's no conceivable security threat at all.

You know, of course they use these, they try to say it's about democracy and human rights,

as you mentioned.

But first of all, everybody knows Trump doesn't care about that.

And second of all, the U.S. allies in the region, of course, like Colombia and Mexico

and Honduras are much, much, much worse on any kind of human rights measure than Venezuela.

So it's completely false, and yet people, I think, here are very intimidated from saying

anything about that because it's, there's a kind of McCarthyism where if you even criticize

even Trump of all people, even his policy towards Venezuela, you get a lot of heat for

that.

SHARMINI PERIES: All right.

And also we may add to that there's no greater place where corruption is so paramount than,

say, Colombia, a U.S. ally that they don't comment on.

And further, one should also point out that clearly the IAEA and other bodies that are

in place to measure the threat of Iran and any possibility of developing a nuclear weapon,

these agents are in place to monitor and correct and investigate any complaints about Iran

violating the nuclear agreement has clearly come out and said they have no concern at

this moment, that they are, in fact, in compliance of the agreement.

And yet the U.S. has pulled out of the agreement and asserted these sanctions.

So with that we'll leave you for now, Mark, and looking forward to having you back.

Thank you.

MARK WEISBROT: Thank you.

SHARMINI PERIES: And thank you for joining us here on the Real News Network.

Never Forgotten: Recovery mission in Vietnam - Duration: 4:52.

- [Soldier] Everybody in the military,

you know, we fight the nation's battles.

That's what we do.

And I know if I got killed in battle somewhere,

I would want my remains brought home,

you know, to my mom, dad, family, wife.

And I know they want the same.

(wind blowing)

- [Narrator] On a barge, somewhere in the South China Sea.

A team of deep sea diving soldiers,

are searching for something.

- So Army divers, we're more of

a Jack of all trades as far as metal tasks.

We do underwater welding, cutting, interlock tools,

surveys, port clearance, ships husbandry.

- [Narrator] But here in Vietnam,

army divers are conducting a more unique mission.

- [Les] So, we go to different sights around the world

and look for POW and MIA personnel from all the

conflicts that the US have been in.

- [Diver] Check red.

- [Diver] Check green.

- [Diver] Check standby.

- We are looking for a helicopter that has known losses.

So, our job as as the dive team is to moor a barge

over the crash sight, and then we do an archeological

excavation dig of the crash site looking for

any material evidence or osseous material

that can correlate to the known losses.

(splashing)

- [Narrator] The Defense POW MIA Accounting Agency,

an organization dedicated to bringing back

America's missing in action, enlists the help

of the Seventh Engineer Dive Detachment,

who's conducting most of the diving.

Through extensive historical research and investigation

the DPAA identifies sites around the world where they think

they'll find the remains of US service members.

These missions are conducted on land as well as at sea.

- [Diver] We do exactly what the land team does,

we dig a hole in the earth, we put it in a bucket,

we screen it, same exact process that they do

except ours is at 80 feet and we can't see it.

- [Diver] I think the analogy is,

vacuuming your neighbor's house,

for the first time, in the dark.

- On standby.

(splashing)

- Specifically at this site, it's about

three or four feet of silt.

So, I don't know if anybody has gone through a swamp,

but I went to one with my wife and she got out of the kayak

and put her foot down in it, went all the way to her hips.

That's about like what it is except

you can't see in front of your face.

- [Narrator] And they don't have

a lot of time to do it either.

- Last DPAA mission, we had six hours of bottom time.

So, we had six hours to do whatever we could

for each diver, one diver, now we have to split

that six hours up into 55 minutes for each diver.

But we do like four or five dives a day for 55 minutes each,

we're not even touching six hours.

As divers we gotta be worried about a lot of stuff

down there, but you get to work, you know.

There's, we have no time.

You get down, get to your basket,

get to your dredge, go to work.

- [Narrator] Probably the most dangerous challenge

however, are the risks of diving at this depth

for this period of time.

- The deeper you go, the more decompression

you're gonna owe.

That's why you see us, you know, rushing up

and they rushing the guys up, sitting them down,

and having them put them in the chamber.

- [Narrator] To make the most of their limited time

they use a decompression chamber to ensure

the divers don't suffer from decompression sickness.

- Your body builds up nitrogen in it's system,

so then you breathe it out naturally.

But when you're underwater and it's pressurized

it doesn't come out fast enough through natural respiration

so you have to make what are called decompression stops

at certain depths, so you can safely breathe off

the amount of nitrogen to make it safe to come out.

(relaxing piano music)

- [Narrator] Despite the complexity of the work

the team never loses sight of why they're there.

- If you were lost for 75 years

and your family didn't have closure

that'd be a big deal for a lot of people.

It takes you to a more emotional point in your life

where you think about how you can help those people.

And for us specifically, it's in the water.

So, if we can get down to a dive site, get on bottom,

and search for these guys until we find them,

that's what we're gonna do.

And we're all extremely glad that we can get

the opportunity to do that.

U.S. Immigration | Let's Talk | NPR - Duration: 3:26.

This is a story about U.S. immigration policy.

The goal has always been

to identify which people to welcome

and which to keep out.

Let's start in 1790.

The first immigration law passed

limited U.S. citizenship to any "free white person."

The law thus excluded people from almost anywhere

outside of Europe, not to mention

enslaved Africans

and Native Americans,

who had been living on the land for centuries.

As immigrants of color began trickling into the country

despite such restrictions, U.S. politicians moved again

to officially favor white people.

In 1882, Chinese were prohibited from coming here.

In 1924, Congress instituted national origin quotas.

More than 100,000 visa slots were reserved

each year for people coming from northern Europe,

while people from Asia, Africa

and other parts of the world had tiny allocations.

Because migrants generally follow the example

of family members and acquaintances who've gone before them,

Europeans dominated the immigrant flow

year after year after year.

Those national origin quotas stayed in place until 1965,

when they were finally abolished as racist and discriminatory.

Under the Immigration Act of 1965,

priority was given instead to immigrants

who had spouses, parents, siblings or other family members

already in the U.S.

Some politicians thought this "family unification" policy

would still favor white people,

because they were more likely than nonwhites to have U.S. relatives.

But they miscalculated.

By 1965, Europeans were largely content to stay put.

They were no longer lining up in large numbers to move to America.

It was a different story in the developing world.

People there were increasingly eager to escape poverty and war

or seek economic opportunity in America.

That's where the long lines began to form.

For every student or worker who got a visa

to come to the U.S.

from Africa, Asia or Latin America,

there were many family members back home

who wanted to follow.

This is what President Trump refers to derisively as "chain migration."

And it's become an explosive issue.

The foreign-born share of the U.S. population

has risen from 5 percent to 13.5 percent,

with nearly nine of 10 new immigrants

arriving from countries outside Europe.

President Trump wants to move toward a merit-based system

where immigrants with the skills and training

most needed in the U.S. are favored

over people looking to reunite with family members.

Such a shift, however, would mark a sharp departure

from what has been the prevailing pattern of migration

throughout the country's history.

World War 3 THREAT: Ukraine tests LETHAL weapon provided by the US in DEFIANCE of Russia

THE TRUMP administration has provided Ukraine with lethal weapons to defend itself against

Russia and the Javelin missile system has been tested for the first time on Tuesday.

On Twitter, Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko shared words of gratitude to the US for providing

his country with an anti-tank system.

Mr Poroshenko said: "Finally this day has come.

"I am grateful for the firm decision that Ukraine should be armed."

The President also made a comment on his Facebook page and said the weapon is "very effective"

and that "would be used in case of a Russian offensive on Ukrainian forces' positions".

Critics warned the decision of giving Ukraine lethal defensive weapons would only enrage

Russia and escalate into a full-blown conflict.

However, the Atlantic Council sided with Trump's decision and insisted arming Ukraine is the

most effective way to force President Vladimir Putin to negotiate.

Ukraine has been locked in conflict with Russia since 2014, when pro-Russian President Viktor

Yanukovych was overthrown and Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimean peninsula.

In Ukraine's eastern Donbas region, which is on the border with Russia, there are still

frequent clashes between Ukrainian troops and the separatists.

Since 2014, at least 10,000 people have died as a result of the Ukrainian crisis.

The Obama administration had refused to sell offensive weapons to the Ukrainians, in order

to avoid escalating the conflict with Russia.

However, President Donald Trump changed course.

The United States Department of State officially approved providing Ukraine with Javelins on

March 1.

The defence aid package envisaged a shipment of 210 Javelin missiles and 37 launch units,

two of which would be spares, with a total value of $47million (£35million).

For Ukraine the weapons were provided at no cost and paid for by from the US federal budget.

According to recent reports, the United States intends to continue providing Ukraine with

both lethal and non-lethal military hardware in the fiscal year 2019.

Ian Brzezinski, Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council's Scowcroft Centre on International

Security said: "This delivery of Javelins is an operationally and geopolitically significant

demonstration of US determination to support Ukraine, an action long overdue following

Russia's 2014 invasion."

Reports released in early May suggested Ukraine stopped cooperating with special counsel Robert

Mueller's investigation after it secured the lethal weapons from the Trump administration.

The Mueller investigation is looking into whether the Trump campaign collaborated with

Russian to influence the outcome of the 2016 Presidential election and it has been highly

criticised by President Trump.

On Wednesday, it emerged that Ukraine paid Michael Cohen, Trump's personal lawyer, $400,000

(£299,000) to facilitate talks between President Trump and President Poroshenko.
