VT: The FBI is investigating Steve Bannon and Rudi Giuliani for their involvement with Russian intelligence officers in an operation involving a laptop computer loaded with fake emails. FBI intelligence recently questioned one VT editor for hours on Russian intelligence operations in Ukraine, including on scenarios deeply similar to the one being played out through arch-zionist Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post. The “pointed” emails are similar to emails that were fabricated within Wikileaks material, which was confirmed by the FBI. Much of the case against Assange isn’t related to leaks or hacking but rather espionage and fabricating materials.g NBC: “The New […]
An inspector from Russia’s Emergencies Ministry has been hailed as a hero, after he saved three Beluga whales – two adults and a young calf – that were left stranded on a Far Eastern beach on Thursday, when the tide went out. Alexey Paramonov said that when he arrived at the scene he saw the animals about 1.5 kilometers from the coast. One of the adults was in a dangerous position, lying on its side, so he dug a hole under the beluga and turned it over to the correct position, while also trying to protect the family from predators.

At first glance—with headlines such as “Sleepy Joe Set Politics Back 180 Years,” “BLM Body Count,” and “Trump Paid Zero Taxes? Good for Him”—it doesn’t look much different from hundreds of other Trumpist news sites that rage against Democrats and the elitist mainstream media. But the clunkily titled “Newsroom for American and European Based Citizens,” or NAEBC, was on Thursday exposed as a Russian front reportedly linked to the Internet Research Agency—the Kremlin-backed troll farm behind much of the interference in the 2016 U.S. election. There were some warning signs: NAEBC appears to be a pun on a Russian word meaning […]

These are pipes from the On-Board Inert Gas Generation System (OBIGGS) in a fuel tank,” read a Friday release issued by the Dutch Ministry of Defense. “All countries with F-35As were advised to avoid flights near storm cells and to protect the aircraft on the ground by a shelter […]
