YouTuber does great explainer on Belt and Road Initiative For those that still don’t understand China’s real threat…

It is known that for many years now, the Rothchilds have been moving East towards China and have slowly reduced their position in the U.S. dollar. They've announced this in their 2016 RIT Capital Partners Report. They've also signed a long-term strategic investment with the Bank of China giving them a 20% stake in the Rotschilds LCFR. BOC will become the second largest shareholder and gives enormous access to the Eurozone bank.
This should provide some answers as to why it was so important for the Trump administration to force China to sell its Port of Long Beach Container Terminal over National security concerns. And why Trump's trade restructuring is of the utmost importance.
Deep State still at it, manipulating 2020 election by dumping illegals into Florida, Border Patrol union chief charges…
June 3, 2019
...there was a strange decision from someone at the Customs and Border Protection to dump many of the hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals coming here illegally into Florida... Now a more credible source says that no, it was the Deep State at it again, nakedly attempting to undercut President Trump. National Border Patrol Council president Brandon Judd says the apparent government idiocy was actually a planned act... It's pretty obvious from Judd's statements that he knows what he's talking about and probably has a name in mind. What's more, that person who issued the dump-them-into-Florida order wouldn't be hard to find...

Palestinians slam Jared Kushner for doubting their ability to self-govern...
June 3, 2019
White House senior adviser Jared Kushner said in an interview broadcast in the US on Sunday that the Palestinians deserve "self-determination", but stopped short of backing Palestinian statehood and expressed uncertainty over their ability to govern themselves.
Asked whether he understood why the Palestinians might not trust him, Kushner said: "I'm not here to be trusted" and that he believed the Palestinian people would judge the plan... Kushner again avoided saying explicitly whether the plan would include a two-state solution,... But he said: "I do think they should have self-determination. I’m going to leave the details until we come out with the actual plan."...
Asked whether he believed the Palestinians were capable of governing themselves without Israeli interference, Kushner said: "That's a very good question. That's one that we’ll have to see. The hope is that they, over time, will become capable of governing."...
'I think Kushner deserves a brain, but I’m not certain that he can use it,' one official said

June 3, 2019

Otherwise, he added, Iran is left with no choice but to show resistance.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani acts tough but showing openness to negotiations, when few weeks ago declared under no circumstance will he negotiate. Progress is being made regardless of the narrative he's pushing domestically.

CBS NEWS: U.S. Navy pilots reportedly spotted UFOs over East Coast: The pilots who reported the aerial phenomena “speculated that the objects were part of some classified and extremely advanced drone program.”…
Recent interview with one of the Navy Pilots who was chasing these objects...
June 3, 2019
This seems to be old news, but CBS's article is recent.
According to the report, the pilots who reported the aerial phenomena "speculated that the objects were part of some classified and extremely advanced drone program." In another instance, one pilot told Lt. Graves that he "almost hit one of those things" and that he described it as looking "like a sphere encasing a cube."
Lt. Graves and his fellow pilots told the newspaper that "the video showed objects accelerating to hypersonic speed, making sudden stops and instantaneous turns — something beyond the physical limits of a human crew."
The most concerning thing about that: "There's a whole fleet of them".
Why are all these UFO articles popping up recently? Well it's possible they are doing guerilla marketing for a new TV-show called "Unidentified" on the History Channel. Just a thought.

North Korea fired what appeared to be Iskander short-range ballistic missiles on May 4 and May 9. The Iskander is a Russian-designed solid-fuel missile that can be launched in a hurry... When North Korea fired a series of ballistic missiles in 2016 and 2017, Japanese and U.S. security officials noticed that Russia could have had something to do with the projectiles' development. "The accuracy of North Korea's missiles improved all at once," a Japanese security official said. "That wouldn't have been possible without Russia's help."...
The multiple rockets that North Korea launched on May 4, along with the Iskander missiles, appeared to have been either Chinese or a copy of a Chinese missile. Either way, they were guided by Beidou, China's take on GPS...
NYT Word Usage Frequency from 1970 – 2018…
June 3, 2019
Google has an interesting feature which allows you to type in a word, and see how frequently the word was used in books, newspapers and magazines over the decades. Someone decided to test these hot button words as used by the New York Times from 1970-2018. Notice how many common buzz words of today weren't even in the NYT's lexicon to any great extent in 1970...
FYI: This comes from the discussion forum debatepolitics.com. We're not entirely sure how accurate this graph really is, as Google's Tool (Ngram Viewer) actually searches books. There is also Google Trends, but that only goes back to 2008. The New York Times did have their own version called Chronicle, which tracked changes in language usage in their coverage throughout its history, but it seems to have been shut down sometime in 2018.
