Also never mind that we know that someone in a U.S. intelligence agency was specifically asked whether or not to block Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab who was otherwise going to be blocked by other agencies and that single agency/agent vetoed all the other agencies involved and deliberately and consciously allowed Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab unto that exact flight rather than requesting that he be groped or whatever. The reason is clear.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was allowed on so that he could fail so that the U.S. government would have a pretext for draconian measures against the whole population of the U.S. (except for the elitists/billionaires who are allowed to by-pass the measures by flying on their own planes, etc., without being scanned even though those planes could easily be used to ram into buildings in New York or elsewhere) and so that the common people, being herded as stupid animals going to the slaughter, can also pay for that pleasure via taxes going into Michael Chertoff’s bank account with his bankster friends.

Unraveling the QAnon Hoax – Karma Yoga Daily

The QAnon phenomenon appears to be over for now. Q may throw out more posts but the cat is out of the bag. So what lessons can be learned from it? QAnon was a distraction and a puzzle that kept people entertained and engaged in digging for clues or solving mysteries of no importance while real injustices deserving of attention were ignored. As Whitney Webb wrote, “trust the plan” was just the sequel to “hope and change” to suck us into a hope-rollercoaster that goes nowhere. How can Trump really be fighting the “Deep State” (Shadow Government/NWO) when the NWO is nonpartisan? How can Trump be fighting the Deep State or “draining the swamp” when he has surrounded himself with swamp-dwellers and swamp-critters, such as Goldman Sachs and Rothschild-affiliated agents, Zionists and generals?

The QAnon phenomenon has shown that many people still lack the discernment to be able to separate truth, hoax, psy-op and other forms of disinfo from each other. It’s difficult because truth is never just served up on a silver platter and there are times when you have to follow your intuition in the absence of hard evidence. Swinging to one extreme and demanding hard, material proof for everything will limit your perspective, as will swinging to the other extreme by believing any fairy tale that comes along.

Hopefully this will act us a wake-up call to those who fell for it. Ultimately, the truth is out there and I believe we all the capacity to resonate with it and see through the lies … but it requires hard work, wide reading, critical thought, measuring different perspectives in your mind and an ability to see general patterns amidst all the detail.

If you have a situation that doesn’t seem to be budging, we advise you to explore how you can expand it. What is the easiest way to expansion? Love. Give the situation love, for it is the greatest transformational tool you have and it is accessible to you, always. Simply put, you cannot flow love and be in resistance at the same time. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young

A new report shows all the extremist killings in 2018 had links to right-wing extremism.
The report’s findings are consistent with other fairly recent studies on extremism in the US, which have shown right-wing extremism and violence are on the rise.
There were at least 50 extremist-related killings in 2018, according to the report, making it the fourth-deadliest year on record for domestic extremist-related killings since 1970.

NSW schools face ‘unprecedented’ levels of disability

Education Minister Rob Stokes on Thursday released the NSW Education Department’s new disability strategy, which responds to a damning 2017 parliamentary report that found an “unacceptable” number of mistreatment allegations.

The inquiry heard cases of “blatant abuses suffered by students … such as ‘caging and isolation'”, facial and head injuries and unexplained bruising, sexual and physical assault, and use of restraint and seclusion.

The strategy found the system faced “unprecedented pressures”, with demand for disability support growing at four times the general enrolment growth, while only 9 per cent of teachers were trained to support them.

Is a Trump indictment possible? Mueller and the DOJ can and should re-evaluate the Office of Legal Counsel’s memo

Let’s set aside for the moment the question of whether Trump is truly consumed by the task of governing and concentrate on that second point. The memo contemplates impeachment as the only lawful vehicle to dislodge a president who has committed “high crimes and misdemeanors.” However, it’s becoming increasingly clear that, regardless of how much incriminating evidence comes to light regarding Trump’s conduct, Republican senators will do nothing to hold him accountable for fear that they will alienate Trump’s base and risk losing their own future elections.

If party affiliation has become the sole motivating factor for decisions regarding impeachment proceedings, then the very premise of the OLC memo fails. In other words, if Republican representatives refuse to impeach and/or Republican senators refuse to remove/convict a criminal president due to unshakable party loyalty, then the OLC memo is de facto ensuring that the president is above the law.

If party affiliation has become the sole motivating factor for decisions regarding impeachment proceedings, then the very premise of the OLC memo fails.

Then there is the issue of ensuring lawful elections. The OLC memo contemplates a president who was elected freely and fairly. And yet evidence is mounting that Trump committed felonious campaign finance violations during the 2016 campaign, crimes that may have provided an unfair advantage. Recent reporting, coupled with documents released by special counsel Robert Mueller’s team, make clear that Trump conspired with others (Michael Cohen, David Pecker, Allen Weisselberg), to pay hush money to suppress politically damaging information. Moreover, we may soon learn that the Trump campaign conspired with Russia to defraud the United States by seeking or accepting Russia’s assistance to unfairly tilt the playing field toward Trump and away from Hillary Clinton.
