THE U.S. ECONOMY CONTINUES TO IMPROVE UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP.
December 7, 2017 by Frank de Varona - Bear Witness Central

The Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen by almost 6,000 points since the election of Donald Trump and now it broke the 24,000 mark for the first time.

The Dow Jones soared 332 points on November 30, 2017 as investors felt that the Senate is making progress on a package of tax cuts. The latest market record occurred barely a month after the Dow hit 23,000. The Dow has gained nearly 6,000 points since President Trump’s election on November 8, 2016, increasing 80 daily record highs since his election.
The tax cut plan received critical support on November 30 from Republican Senator John McCain when he said he would vote in favor of the Senate tax cut bill. Investors are optimistic about the strengthening economy and record corporate profits that could be helped by the Republican plan to reduce corporate taxes.
The rapid increase in the stock market is due to improvements in the U.S. economy. One of the most significant successes of President Donald J. Trump, not recognized by the Destroy Trump mainstream media, is how he has improved the economy of the United States. Reuters reported how the economy grew faster than initially thought in the third quarter due to increased business spending on equipment and an accumulation of inventories. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) expanded at a 3.3 % annual rate in the third quarter (between July and September 2017). The growth of the GDP was an increased from the second quarter’s 3.1%. This represented the fastest economic growth in three years.
The optimism on Wall Street regarding corporate profits is what ultimately drives stock market prices. Earnings have been strong all year and analysts are predicting for next year higher market prices.

Jerome (Jay) Hayden Powell was born on February 4, 1953. He is a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and has served since 2012. On November 2, 2017, President Donald Trump nominated Powell to serve as the next Chairman of the Federal Reserve to replace Janet Yellen when her term ends.
President Trump’s choice to replace Janet Yellen at the Federal Reserve, Jay Powell, has said he will continue the Fed policies. He supported this week raising rates at a gradual pace. Powell also said he believes existing bank regulations are tough enough. Instead, he expressed a desire for “appropriate ways” to ease some rules.
Reuters said that Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen told Congress on November 29, 2017 that “the economic expansion is increasingly broad based across sectors” and that she expected that “the economy will continue to expand.” President Trump wants lower taxes to lift annual GDP growth to 3% or higher on a sustained basis.
The unemployment rate is 4.4%, the lowest in 17 years. After the president’s election, and before he assumed office, he persuaded several multinational corporations not to move their factories to Mexico and other countries. The president issued many executive orders eliminating burdensome regulations on businesses. One executive order issued by the president stated that for every new regulation, two had to be eliminated. Tens of thousands jobs were created by the business-friendly President Trump.
Consumer confidence has increased dramatically and the commercial deficit has been reduced as more U.S businesses are exporting more goods. The president has stated that the trade agreements will no longer damage America.
Fake news by ABC News brought the stock market down.

ABC News Brian Ross delivered an inaccurate report on former National Security Director Michael Flynn which brought the stock market down.
On December 1, 2017, ABC News Brian Ross journalist reported incorrectly that former White House National Security Director Michael Flynn, who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, would testify that President Donald J. Trump directed him during the campaign to make contact with Russian officials. As a result the Dow Jones plunged by 330 points.
President Donald Trump on December 3 criticized ABC News, and suggested those who lost money in the stock market after the Michael Flynn report should consider suing the network. The network soon issued a “clarification,” stating that President Trump had asked Michael Flynn during the transition “to find ways to repair relations with Russia and other hot spots.” Conservatives and members of the media criticized the network for not calling it a “correction.”
On December 2, announced that Brian Ross was suspended without pay for four weeks, Later, ABC News said that it will not allow reporter Ross to cover stories related to President Trump. After the stock market investors discovered that the report from Brian Ross was fake news, the Dow Jones recovered quickly. On December 4 it increased to 24, 290 points.
Conclusion
Fake news has a negative impact on the stock market. The destroy Trump mainstream media needs to be careful in reporting lies and misinformation on the president and his administration for it will hurt the economy and the national security.
President Donald J. Trump deserved a great deal of credit for improving the economy and creating new jobs. The GDP is increasing over 3% over the last two quarters. Corporate profits have increased along with consumer confidence. The stock market has grown for an unprecedented almost 6,000 points. Oppressive business regulations have been eliminated. Oil and gas production have increased considerably. The president approved the Keystone XL oil pipe as wells as the Dakota oil pipe which will bring Canadian oil to the American refineries in Texas.
In spite of all the economic progress, President Trump is subjected to daily attacks by the corrupt mainstream media, by members of the Deep State embedded in the federal government including intelligence agencies, Democrats in Congress, and hundreds of radical organizations funded by Soros and Obama.
Should Congress pass a tax cut legislation and the president sign it into law, the economy will continue to soar and thousands of new jobs will be created.

AMERICAN AND CANADIAN DIPLOMATS WERE ATTACKED IN CUBA WITH SONIC AND ULTRASONIC OR SOME OTHER WEAPONS AND HOW AMERICA NEEDS TO RESPOND
September 16, 2017 by Frank de Varona - Bear Witness Central

U.S. embassy in Havana, Cuba was reopened in 2015 as part of former President Obama’s détente with the Cuban regime.
The Cuban bloody oppressive regime has a very long history of harassing and subjecting to surveillance American diplomats in Havana. Cuban intelligent agents have frequently entered American diplomats’ homes and tampered with their computers, moved their books, and left feces. Often times, the electricity was cut off in their homes. Sometimes Cuban agents damaged their cars.
America tolerated these abuses for many years. The Castro brothers, who hated profoundly the United States, believed that they could continue to harass American diplomats forever with complete impunity.
Regime intelligence agents followed American diplomats as they drove in their cars. These agents would tailgate diplomats’ vehicles and make it impossible to change lanes. However, attacking American diplomats with covert sonic weapons with the intent to seriously damage their health is a grave matter and substantial escalation that needs a very strong response from the United States.
Once again these events show clearly the total failure of former President Obama’s Cuban policy of giving the bloody communist regime in Havana a series of unilateral concessions with no “Quid Pro Quo” or nothing in return. In fact, the brutal Cuban regime has increased the number of arbitrary arrests and beatings of peaceful opponents of the regime.

Ladies in White and other peaceful opponents of the Cuban tyranny are beaten up and arrested frequently in Cuba.
Cuba is a merciless totalitarian state and its military and secret police continue to assassinate, beat up, and arrest peaceful opponents and systematically suppress the Cuban people’s legitimate aspirations for freedom, self-determination, democracy, and prosperity. The Castro regime has an Occupation Army of several thousand soldiers led by Cuban generals in Venezuela to prop up the brutal Nicolás Maduro’s dictatorship and its violent efforts to crush the Venezuelan people’s legitimate demands for freedom and democracy. Maduro follows orders from Cuban dictator Raúl Castro. Venezuela has virtually become a colony of Cuba.
Venezuela and Cuba are strong allies and both nations assist Islamic terrorist groups. There is a Hamas office in Havana. Cuba has always been a center of terrorism. Similar to Venezuela, the Cuban military participates in drug trafficking. On April 8, 1993, prosecutors at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Miami drafted a proposed indictment charging the Cuban government of being a racketeering enterprise.
The Armed Forces Minister Raúl Castro was charged as the chief of a 10-year conspiracy of sending tons of Colombian cartel cocaine through Cuba to the United States. However, sadly this case was later dropped.
Cuba sends intelligence agents to America to commit fraud with Medicare, Medicaid, other government services, and private businesses. Tens of millions of dollars have been stolen by Cuban agents with complete impunity. The fates of the two communist regimes are interrelated. Venezuela and Cuba are a national security threat to the United States and both are close allies of North Korea, Iran, Syria, Russia, and China.

Cuban Raúl Castro and Venezuelan Nicolás Maduro are two bloody dictators who are responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of their people and others around the world.
American and Canadian diplomats were attacked with sonar and ultrasonic or other type of weapons in Havana
On August 9, 2017, the State Department revealed a new dispute between the America and Cuba when it said that American diplomats serving in Cuba were subjected to an “acoustic attack” in fall 2016 using a covert sonic weapon that left the Americans with severe hearing loss and mild traumatic brain injury. Canada also reported mysterious illnesses among its diplomats in Havana. The United States embassy in Havana reopened in 2015 as part of former President Obama’s détente with the Cuban regime.
In the fall of 2016, a series of U.S. diplomats began suffering unexplained losses of hearing and memory problems. After months of investigation, U.S. officials concluded that the diplomats had been attacked with an advanced sonic weapon that operated outside the range of audible sound and had been deployed either inside or outside their residences and in at least one hotel.
CNN reported that “the employees affected were not at the same place at the same time, but suffered a variety of physical symptoms since late 2016, which resembled concussions.” Along with investigating possible Cuban regime involvement, investigators are also exploring the possibility that the attack was carried out by a third country, such as Russia, operating without the Cuban regime’s knowledge. The Foreign Ministry of the regime stated that “Cuba has never, nor would it ever, allow that the Cuban territory be used for any action against accredited diplomatic agents or their families.”
On August 11, 2017, Frances Robles and Kirk Semple wrote an article titled “Health Attacks on U.S. Diplomats in Cuba Baffle Both Countries” which was published in the New York Times. The reporters explained that at least six American diplomats in Havana who were getting sick with headaches, dizziness and hearing loss were flown from Cuba to be treated at the University of Miami hospital in Miami. The illnesses may have been caused by some kind of sonic wave machine and the symptoms worsened with prolonged exposure. By mid-September, 2017, the number of American victims has now increased to at least 21 Americans.
Robles and Semple said that one of the diplomats had a more serious illness that involved a blood disorder. A University of Miami specialist went to Havana this month to examine others who work at the embassy because officials expect that more people were affected. The State Department stated that some American diplomats had symptoms of a mild traumatic brain injury. Canadian diplomats have reported experiencing similar incidents.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov recently met with Cuban officials. Why?
State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said that U.S. authorities have not located any device nor they know the specific cause of these attacks and who is responsible. Cuba’s top negotiator with the United States and other Cuban Officials met with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov. Was this meeting related to these attacks?
The reporters interviewed James Cason, who ran the United States Interests Section in Havana a decade ago. Carson stated the following regarding the Cuban intelligence agents: “They would come into your house and erase the pictures of your kids off your computer, or turn all the books around on your bookshelf, just to show you that you had no privacy. They never did anything physical to anybody. This sounds like a science experiment.”

Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson said in the fall of 2016 American diplomats were attacked with a covert sonar weapons. U.S. diplomats began suffering unexplained losses of hearing.
Two Cuban diplomats were expelled from Washington, D.C. in May 2017, yet the news of their expulsion and the sickness of U.S. diplomats in the fall of 2016 were not revealed until August 2017. Why were these events not reported earlier? On August 11, 2017, Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson said the illnesses were a result of “health attacks,” and added, “We’ve not been able to determine who’s to blame.” Was there a cover up?

This photo shows the Cuban embassy in Washington, D.C. The Trump administration expelled two Cuban diplomats from Washington, D.C. in May 2017 because Cuba had failed in its obligation to keep American diplomats safe.
Robles and Semple said that John Caulfield, who was chief of mission at the United States Interests Section in Havana from 2011 to 2014, stated it was “inconceivable” that a third government would have been able to act without the knowledge or cooperation of the Cubans. The Cuban government, he said, kept “such close tabs on us they would’ve immediately detected someone else.” Caulfield added, “My speculation is that it was a surveillance effort that went bad.”
The reporters pointed out that the State Department said many Americans cut their tours in Cuba short after falling ill in 2016. The Trump administration expelled two Cuban diplomats from Washington, D.C. because Cuba had failed in its obligation to keep American diplomats safe. The FBI is investigating these sonar attacks against American diplomats in Havana.
When asked about the sonar attack against American diplomats in Havana, Rhodes said the following: “It just doesn’t strike me as something the Cuban government would do. They’ve been pragmatic about Trump.” Once again, these remarks showed Rhodes’ ignorance about the nature of the Castro totalitarian regime. The communist regime in the island has already caused immense damage to this nation and is very capable of inflicting even more damage driven by its enormous hatred of America.

Ben Rhodes negotiated secretly with Cuban officials to recognize the regime diplomatically. He may have been involved in the illegal unmasking of President Trump campaign officials. Rhodes continuous to be an appeaser of the brutal Cuban regime!
Sonic and ultrasonic weapons
Wikipedia has an article describing sonic and ultrasonic weapons of various types. Wikipedia explained the following:
“Sonic and ultrasonic weapons that use sound to injure, incapacitate, or kill an opponent. Some sonic weapons are currently in limited use or in research and development by military and police forces. Some of these weapons have been described as sonic bullets, sonic grenades, sonic mines, or sonic cannons. Some make a focused beam of sound or ultrasound; some make an area field of sound.”
“Extremely high-power sound waves can disrupt or destroy the eardrums of a target and cause severe pain or disorientation. This is usually sufficient to incapacitate a person. Less powerful sound waves can cause humans to experience nausea or discomfort. The use of these frequencies to incapacitate persons has occurred both in counter-terrorist and crowd control settings.”
“A long-range acoustic device has been used by the crew of the cruise ship Seabourn Spirit to deter pirates who chased and attacked the ship. More commonly this device and others of similar design have been used to disperse protesters and rioters in crowd control efforts.”
“A similar system is called a “magnetic acoustic device. Mobile sonic devices have been used in in the United Kingdom to deter teenagers from lingering around shops in target areas. High-amplitude sound of a specific pattern at a frequency close to the sensitivity peak of human hearing (2–3 kHz) is used as a burglar deterrent. Some police forces have used sound cannons against protesters, for example during the G20 summit in Pittsburgh and the Dakota Access Pipeline protest in South Dakota.”

A long-range acoustic device (LRAD) is in use on the U.S. Navy LCC-19 USS Blue Ridge.
On September 2, 2017, Luis Mejer wrote an article titled “Sonic Technology” which he posted on his Facebook page. Mejer said that because of recent news regarding American diplomats in Cuba he did a bit of research on Sonic technology. He explained that a variety of high powered sonic weapons (SW) exist spanning the infrasonic, ultrasonic, and audible ranges. These weapons which direct sound onto a target, and sound is energy, they can be considered directed-energy weapons. A variety of high powered sonic weapons (SW) exist spanning the infrasonic, ultrasonic, and audible ranges.
Mejer wrote that a long-range acoustic device (LRAD), such as the one use by the U.S. Navy, is a weapon emits a tightly-focused beam of audible sound to an individual or group at up to one kilometer. A focused beam, which can be transmitted directly into an individual’s ear, would be inaudible to others in the area. It is to be used for behavior modification and psychological operations. Reportedly, at high power levels it can cause loss of equilibrium, migraines, nausea and vomiting.
Mejer pointed out that infrasonic and ultrasonic weapons can cause negative emotions such as fear, anxiety, or depression, as well as biological symptoms like nausea, vomiting, organ damage, burns, or death—depending on the frequency and power level. Most of these weapons function between the frequency ranges of about 1 Hz to 30 kHz. These frequencies occur within the following waves: Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) 1 Hz to 30 Hz, Super Low Frequency (SLF) 30 Hz to 300 Hz, Ultra Low Frequency (ULF) 300 Hz to 3 kHz, and Very Low Frequency (VLF) 3 kHz to 30 kHz1.
Ultrasonic weapons, Mejer argued, produce a variety of effects depending on the power level and frequency. Many are the same as those produced by infrasound, plus heating and burning. They include: tickling in the mouth/nose area, discomfort, heating of the skin, nausea, abdominal pains, and vomiting. At higher decibels it causes burns and heating of body up to lethal temperatures. Another very painful effect is bone resonation, which could cause a person’s bones to literally explode.
Mejer explained that sonic projectiles are weapons basically of sonic rifles and canons which can transmit invisible energy over hundreds of meters, causing a blunt impact causing a variety of biological and psychological effects. It could also be adjusted to cause effects ranging from physical discomfort up to death. Effects short of death included abdominal pains, nausea, and vomiting. In addition, it could cause a person’s bones to resonate, which is extremely painful.
Mejer said that the vortex gun is capable of transmitting an invisible whirlwind of force to affect a considerable blunt impact on a target. It will allegedly be used to disable or destroy personnel such as enemy combatants or disruptive crowds. Most of the current information pertaining to this technology is classified.
The electromagnetic personnel interdiction control (EPIC), Mejer wrote, is a portable acoustic weapon created by Invocon Incorporated. The U.S. Navy describes this as a developing technology which interferes with a person’s equilibrium by sending acoustic pulses of energy which disrupt the chemical and mechanical processes of the vestibular system. This can result in disorientation, confusion, extreme motion sickness, and vomiting. The Navy declared that the weapon will operate through walls and other protective mediums that now provide cover for combatants in urban warfare situations.
The last weapon described in the article by Luis Mejer is the directed stick radiator (DSR). This weapon is a small portable acoustic weapon, which fires a focused, painful, audible sound up to 100 yards. Its kinetic effect is so intense that it can knock someone back and cause migraine headaches. In addition to being used to remotely incapacitate a specific individual it will be used for psychological operations.
More details on the attacks on American diplomats in Havana
On September 15, 2017, more details were revealed by the Trump administration on the unexplained attacks on the health on U.S. and Canadian diplomats and their families in Cuba. The Department of State said that at least 21 Americans were impacted and that it was possible that the number of victims would increase.

Heather Nauert is the State Department spokeswoman. She previously worked for FoxNews.
State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said America continuous to assess American personnel in Cuba. On September 14, 2017, Heather Nauert stated the following: “The investigation into all of this is still under way. It is an aggressive investigation. We will continue doing this until we find out who or what is responsible for this.”
Associated Press reporters Josh Lederman, Michael Weissenstein, and Matthew Lee wrote an article titled “Details emerge on what befell U.S. diplomats in Cuba” which was published in the Miami Herald on September 15, 2017. The reporters said that one American diplomat heard a great blaring, grinding noise that jolted him from his bed in a Havana hotel. The diplomat moved just a few feet, and there was silence. He went back into bed and the agonizing sound hit him again. It was as if he had walked through some invisible wall cutting straight through his room.
Soon after that incident, the reporters said, the American diplomat was diagnosed hearing loss and the speech problems, symptoms both similar and altogether different from others among at least 21 American victims of “health attacks.” New details learned by the Associated Press show that at least some of the “health attacks” were confined “to specific rooms or even parts of rooms with laser-like specificity, baffling U.S. officials who say the facts and the physics don’t add up.”
Fulton Armstrong, a former CIA official who served in Cuba long before the United States re-opened an embassy there, stated, “None of this has a reasonable explanation.” He added, “It’s just mystery after mystery after mystery.”
At first the Trump administration suspected that a sonic weapon might have been used. However, the diagnosis of mild brain injury, considered unlikely to result from sound, has confounded the FBI, the State Department and intelligence agencies involved in the investigation.
Some American diplomats “now have problems concentrating or recalling specific words, several officials explained, the latest signs of more serious damage than the U.S. government initially realized”, said the reporters.
This writer wonders why the U.S. government reported the “health attacks” nine months after symptoms were first reported and why the Trump administration still has not identified who was responsible or the weapon or weapons to explain the attacks.
Reporters Lederman, Weissenstein, and Lee explained the following: “In fact, almost nothing about what went down in Havana is clear. Investigators have tested several theories about an intentional attack — by Cuba’s government, a rogue faction of its security forces, a third country like Russia, or some combination thereof. Yet they’ve left open the possibility an advanced espionage operation went horribly awry, or that some other, less nefarious explanation is to blame.”

U.S. officials said that in addition to Americans being attacked from their homes. U.S. diplomats were attacked at the recently renovated Hotel Capri, a 60-year-old concrete tower steps from the famous Havana’s Malecon, the waterside promenade.
The incidents vary deeply with different symptoms, different recollections of what happened. In several episodes explained by U.S. officials, victims knew it was happening in real time, and there were strong indications of a sonic attack, said the reporters.
Lederman, Weissenstein, and Lee wrote the following: “Some felt vibrations, and heard sounds — loud ringing or a high-pitch chirping similar to crickets or cicadas. Others heard the grinding noise. Some victims awoke with ringing in their ears and fumbled for their alarm clocks, only to discover the ringing stopped when they moved away from their beds. The attacks seemed to come at night. Several victims reported they came in minute-long bursts. Yet others heard nothing, felt nothing. Later, their symptoms came… Some have mild traumatic brain injury, known as a concussion, and others permanent hearing loss.”
Investigators could not explained why fewer than 10 Canadian were harmed, too, including some who reported nosebleeds since Canada has had warm relations with the bloody communist regime for many years. Following the American complain to the Cuban mass murdering regime earlier this year, Canada detected its own cases. Then the FBI and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police traveled to Havana to investigate. FBI investigators swept the rooms, looking for weapons but found nothing.
After the brutal Cuban tyrant Fidel Castro died, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau praised him as a great leader. Some have speculated that Justin Trudeau may be Fidel Castro’s son since the look very much alike and his leftist mother visited Cuba frequently and met with the brutal tyrant.

The Embassy of the United States of America in Havana, Cuba
The reporters pointed out that sound and health experts are equally perplexed since “targeted, localized beams of sound are possible, but the laws of acoustics suggest such a device would probably be large and not easily concealed.” “And no single, sonic gadget seems to explain such an odd, inconsistent array of physical responses”, they explained. Other symptoms have included brain swelling, dizziness, nausea, severe headaches, balance problems and tinnitus, or prolonged ringing in the ears. Many American victims have shown improvement since coming back to America and some suffered only minor or temporary symptoms.
Cuba’s regime declined to answer specific questions about the incidents, pointing to a previous Foreign Affairs Ministry statement denying any involvement, promising full cooperation and saying it was treating the situation “with utmost importance.” The tyrannical regime’s statement said that “Cuba has never, nor would it ever, allow that the Cuban territory be used for any action against accredited diplomatic agents or their families, without exception.”
On September 15, 2017, Susan Crabtree wrote an article titled “GOP Senators Urge Trump to Expel Cuban Diplomats from U.S., Threaten to Shutter Embassy” which was published in The Washington Free Beacon website. The reporter said that five important Republican senators asked the Trump administration to expel Cuban diplomats from Washington, D.C. immediately and even close the American embassy in Havana if the Cuban regime is not more forthcoming about mysterious “acoustic” attacks that have seriously harmed the health of many U.S. diplomats.

Senator John Cornyn from Texas is a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. He also serves as the Senate majority whip and is the Number Two Republican leader in the upper chamber.
Crabtree wrote that on September 15, 2017, GOP Senators John Cornyn of Texas, Marco Rubio of Florida, Tom Cotton of Arkansas, Richard Burr of North Carolina, and James Lankford of Oklahoma sent a letter to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson asking him to take action regarding the harassment and acoustic attacks on American diplomats in Cuba. The senators want Secretary Tillerson to immediately declare all accredited Cuban diplomats in the United States as “persona non grata”, and expelled them from America. The Republican senators wrote “that if Cuba does not take tangible action to remove these threats to the diplomats and their families, to take the decisive step of closing the U.S. embassy in Havana.” They also said that Secretary Tillerson needs to remind the Cuban regime of its obligation to protect U.S. diplomats and their families under international treaties.
The letter written by the five GOP senators stated the following:
“Our officials and their families have been the targets of unacceptable levels of harassment and ‘acoustic’ attacks that, in some cases, have caused permanent hearing damage and other significant injuries. The safety of U.S. diplomatic personnel and their families posted overseas remains one of our high priorities and a shared responsibility of those nations that host U.S. diplomatic facilities.”
“Cuba’s neglect of its duty to protect our diplomats and their families cannot go unchallenged. We appreciate your attention to this important national security matter and look forward to your timely response.”
Crabtree pointed out that the five senators “have waited more than a month to request that President Donald Trump threaten to close the embassies, a step that would reverse much of the efforts to normalize diplomatic relations taken by President Barack Obama.” She also said that in mid-August 2017, the Washington Free Beacon was the first to report that the “U.S. government was hiding key details of the mystery attacks on U.S. diplomats in Cuba and may have misled the public and Congress on the full scope and nature of the attacks.”
Crabtree explained that U.S. officials in early August 2017 said approximately six Americans were the victims of the attacks when the actual number of U.S. diplomats was far higher—in the double digits. Crabtree stated the following: “In addition to the greater number of U.S. persons harmed by the sonic device, sources told the Washington Free Beacon that some Americans stationed in Havana began experiencing symptoms months earlier than the State Department has publicly admitted, and that the symptoms they suffered included permanent hearing loss, sleeplessness as well as damage to some diplomats’ brain function and cognitive abilities.”

Senator Richard Burr from North Carolina is the chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
Republican senators who wrote the letter to Secretary of State Tillerson serve on the Senate Intelligence Committee and on Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Senator Richard Burr from North Carolina is the chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Senator Marco Rubio from Florida is also a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which has jurisdiction over the State Department and diplomatic personnel. Senator John Cornyn from Texas also serves as the Senate majority whip, the Number Two GOP leader in the upper chamber. James Lankford from Oklahoma serves on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Senator Tom Cotton from Arkansas serves on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Possible actions by the United States recommended by this writer to three officials in the White House if the Cuban regime ordered the attacks against American diplomats or allowed a third country to do it
President Donald J. Trump has already ordered the expulsion of two Cuban diplomats from Washington, D.C. However, if the FBI investigation discovers that the Castro regime ordered such uncivilized, unprecedented, and brutal attacks against American diplomats, attacks that Cuban thugs are very capable of having done, then America must consider a range of responses.
Below are some of the suggested action(s) by this writer that could be taken by America:

Add Cuba to the list of terrorist nations.

President Donald J. Trump in his speech in Miami stated that the Cuba regime sent illegal weapons to North Korea and helps the regime in Venezuela to oppress its people. Cuba has a Hamas office in Havana and provides sanctuary to many American and foreign terrorists and murderers. The Cuban military and intelligence services assist Venezuela in providing financial support to Hezbollah, participate in drug trafficking, send uranium to Iran, and engage in subversion in Latin America.

Add Cuba to the list of nations involved in human trafficking.

The Department of State in a previous Trafficking in Persons Report regarding Cuba stated the following: “Cuba is principally a source country for children subjected to trafficking in persons, specifically commercial sexual exploitation within the country… The Government of Cuba does not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking and is not making significant efforts to do so.”
Cuban medical doctors, dentists, nurses, engineers, sport trainers, musicians, and other professionals have stated that they are forced against their will to leave their families and sent to nations in Latin America, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Cuba charges up to $5,000 per month for the “enslaved” medical professionals’ involuntary postings abroad. The Cuban doctors are paid $200 a month upon their return.
The passports of the Cuban professionals are withheld while they perform their services. These doctors live in miserable conditions while they are also watched by members of the intelligence services. The Cuban regime receives tens of millions each year as a result of “enslaving” Cubans from many professions. Communist Cuba is one of the worst nations in the world involved in human trafficking.

Stop U.S. cruise lines and private yachts from visiting Cuba

Carnival, Holland American, and other cruise lines have announced that they will increase their current sailings and services to Cuba. Nearly 200,000 Americans are expected to sail from the United States to Cuba this year.
When these ships arrive at Cuban ports they will be forced to violate President Trump stated policy of prohibiting U.S. business dealings with companies tied to the Cuban military and intelligence services. The cruise lines will pay fees to the regime for using its piers and disembarkation facilities. Cruise lines are hiring and will continue to hire regime buses with intelligence agents as guides to take American tourists to military-owned restaurants, night clubs, bars, shops, and tourist sites such as Spanish fortresses.
There are no private companies in Cuba that have buses or large restaurants. The private restaurants known as “paladares” are too small to accommodate thousands of cruise liners tourists. American private yachts dock in military-own marinas, such as the Hemingway Marina in Havana harbor, and some participate in fishing tournaments with Fidel Castro’s sons.
American owners of private yachts pay fees and purchase food, supplies, and gasoline at these military-owned marinas. The increased American tourism brought by cruise liners and private yachts to Cuba will enrich the oppressive communist regime that has been the worst and longest-lasting unrepentant abuser of human and civil rights in the Western Hemisphere.

Work diplomatically with Western allied nations to condemn and impose economic sanctions on the rogue and illegitimate Cuban regime.

The United States and its allies imposed severe economic sanctions and commercial restrictions to South Africa during Apartheid. Sadly, instead of implementing economic sanctions to Cuba, Western nations have continued to conduct business as usual with the military dictatorship for many years. America and its allies must isolate and punish the unrepentant and oppressive Cuban dictatorship.

Impose economic sanctions and deny visas to high officials and high ranking military officers of the Cuban and Venezuelan regimes.

High ranking government and high military officers from both nations travel to the United States and invest in property with the stolen funds from their nations. Freezing the assets of these oppressors is an effective way to punish those who abuse, incarcerate, and assassinate their fellow citizens.
6) Limit the amount of remittances allowed to be sent to Cuba from the United States
Previous presidents have suspended temporarily or limited the amount of remittances sent by Cuban Americans in the United States to Cuba. This is another way the Cuban oppressive regime earns tens of thousands of dollars each day. Current policy allows unlimited remittances to the island. In 2016, over $3.5 billion were sent to Cuba by Cuban Americans who had relatives and friends in the island.

Break diplomatic relations with Cuba

President Dwight D. Eisenhower broke diplomatic relations with Cuba when Fidel Castro ordered the America embassy in Havana to drastically reduce the numbers of its employees. Attacking American diplomats with sonic wave weapons to harm their health is far more serious.

Implement regime change strategies in Cuba and Venezuela

By declaring a total economic embargo to the narco military regime in Venezuela and ceasing the purchase of oil or the sale of gasoline and other goods, Maduro’s dictatorial regime will collapse and freedom and democracy will be restored. If democracy were to be restored in Venezuela that nation would cease supplying free oil to communist Cuba. The Cuban regime could also collapse in a short time.
Conclusion
It is disconcerting to this writer why America has tolerated so much abuse from the mass murdering Cuban totalitarian regime for almost 60 years. Even now the United States has taken pains not to accuse Havana of perpetrating the attacks. Nothing in Cuba occurs without the late tyrant Fidel Castro’s and later his equally brutal brother dictator Raúl Castro’s permission. This writer agrees with the five prominent Republican senators who told Secretary Tillerson that “Cuba’s neglect of its duty to protect our diplomats and their families cannot go unchallenged.”
The FBI investigation must be conducted quickly to determine if the Castro regime was responsible for the attacks on American diplomats. If it is determined that the Cuban regime was involved, then the Trump administration will need to consider some or all of the recommendations outlined by this writer. America should not tolerate such an abuse to at least 21 of its diplomats.
Today in Cuba there is more repression, beatings of peaceful opponents, and arbitrary arrests than before the restoration of United States diplomatic relations with the communist regime and the many concessions given by President Obama. President Trump has severely criticized the enormous abuses of human and civil rights by the Castro regime.
Upholding the Helms- Burton Law is crucial. Restating the important parts of the Helms- Burton Law was necessary and President Trump did it in his speech in Miami. The president stated the following: “We will not lift sanctions on the Cuban regime until all political prisoners are free, freedoms of assembly and expression are respected, all political parties are legalized and free and internationally supervised elections are scheduled.”
Venezuela and Cuba are strong allies and both nations assist Islamic terrorist groups. There is a Hamas office in Havana. Cuba has always been a center of terrorism. Similar to Venezuela, the Cuban military participates in drug trafficking.
Cuba has an Occupation Army in Venezuela led by generals and assisted by its intelligence services. Venezuela sends financial help to Iran’s militia Hezbollah. Venezuela sends uranium to Iran, a close ally. The fates of their communist regimes are interrelated. Venezuela and Cuba are national security threats to the United States and both are close allies of Russia and China.
If such a courageous regime change policy were implemented successfully by President Donald Trump, he would go down in history as the Liberator of two savage and bloody communist regimes that have brought much suffering to their people and other nations throughout the world. This writer hopes and prays that President Donald J. Trump will Make the Americas Great and Save Again!

WAS STEVE BANNON FIRED FROM THE WHITE HOUSE BY THE GLOBALISTS?
August 22, 2017 by Frank de Varona - Bear Witness Central

On August 18, 2017, White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon was fired by the president. He was the chief architect of Donald Trump election victory and a champion of nationalism and anti-globalism. Bannon appears in the center of this photo to the right of Chief of Staff General John F. Kelly. On the same day that he was dismissed, Breitbart News announced that Bannon would return as its executive chairman. “White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and Steve Bannon have mutually agreed today would be Steve’s last day,” Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary, said in a statement. “We are grateful for his service and wish him the best,” she added.
Who is Steve Bannon?
Stephen Kevin Bannon was born on November 27, 1953 in Norfolk, Virginia. According to Wikipedia, upon graduating from high school, Bannon attended Virginia Tech and was elected as president of the student government association. He graduated from Virginia Tech in 1976 with a bachelor’s degree in urban planning. While serving as naval officer in the Pentagon, Bannon received a master’s degree in national security studies from the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. In 1985, Bannon graduated from Harvard with a Master of Business Administration.
Service as naval officer
Bannon served in the Navy for seven years in the late 1970s and early 1980s, working on board of a destroyer in the Pacific. Later, he became a Special Assistant to the Chief of Naval Operations at the Pentagon. When he left the Navy, Bannon was a lieutenant.
In 1980, Bannon was deployed to the Persian Gulf to assist during the Iran hostage crisis. The failure of the mission changed his political world-view from largely apolitical to a strong supporter of President Ronald Reagan.
Bannon stated the following: “I wasn’t political until I got into the service and saw how badly President Jimmy Carter f—ed things up. I became a huge Reagan admirer. Still am. But what turned me against the whole establishment was coming back from running companies in Asia in 2008 and seeing that Bush had f—ed up as badly as Carter. The whole country was a disaster.”
Business career
Wikipedia explained that after his naval service, Bannon worked at Goldman Sachs as an investment banker in the Mergers and Acquisitions Department. In 1987, Bannon relocated from New York City to Los Angeles to assist Goldman Sachs to expand its presence in the entertainment industry. He stayed at this position with Goldman Sachs in Los Angeles for two years, leaving with the title of vice president.
In 1990, Bannon and several colleagues from Goldman Sachs launched Bannon & Co., a boutique investment bank specializing in media. In one of Bannon & Co. investment bank’s transactions, the firm represented Westinghouse Electric that wanted to sell Castle Rock Entertainment. Bannon negotiated the sale of Castle Rock to CNN. Instead of a full adviser’s fee, Bannon & Co. wisely accepted a financial stake in five television shows, including Seinfeld. He became wealthy. Bannon still receives cash residuals each time Seinfeld is aired. In 1998, Bannon sold Bannon & Co. to Société Générale.
Entertainment and media
Steve Bannon in 2010
According to Wikipedia, Bannon entered into the entertainment and media industry in the 1990s. He produced 18 films. In 2004, Bannon made a documentary about President Ronald Reagan titled “In the Face of Evil.” While making the documentary, Bannon met writer Peter Schweizer and publisher Andrew Breitbart.
In 2007, Bannon wrote an eight-page outline for a new documentary called “Destroying the Great Satan: The Rise of Islamic Fascism in America.” The outline stated that “although driven by the “best intentions,” institutions such as the media, the Jewish community and government agencies were appeasing jihadists aiming to create an Islamic republic.
Bannon was executive chair and co-founder of the Government Accountability Institute, where he helped in the publication of Breitbart News senior editor-at-large Peter Schweizer’s book Clinton Cash. Bannon also hosted a radio show (Breitbart News Daily) on the Sirius XM Patriot satellite radio channel.
Breitbart News
Wikipedia explained that Bannon was a founding member of the board of Breitbart News, an online conservative news, opinion, and commentary website. In March 2012, after the death of its founder Andrew Breitbart, Bannon became executive chair of Breitbart News LLC, the parent company of Breitbart News. Under Bannon, Breitbart adopted a nationalistic anti-globalist agenda. In 2016, Bannon declared the website “the platform for the alt-right”. Bannon identifies himself as a conservative. Speaking about his role at Breitbart, Bannon said, “We think of ourselves as virulently anti-establishment, particularly ‘anti-‘ the permanent political class.”
Donald Trump’s presidential campaign
On August 17, 2016, Bannon was appointed chief executive of the presidential campaign of Donald J. Trump. Bannon resigned from Breitbart, as well as the from Government Accountability Institute and Cambridge Analytica, to take the position.
On November 13, 2016, following Donald Trump election as president a few days earlier Bannon was appointed chief strategist and senior counselor to the President-elect. His appointment was denounced by the Muslim Brotherhood front group Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Marxist Southern Poverty Law Center as well as by Democrats and some establishment Republicans, many of whom opposed and still are opposing President Donald Trump’s agenda.
Many conservatives, including Pamela Geller, Ben Shapiro, David Horowitz, Morton Klein, Bernard Marcus, Alan Dershowitz, and Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, as well as the Zionist Organization of America defended Bannon against the allegations of anti-Semitism. On November 15, 2016, a letter was sent to President-elect Trump signed by 169 Democratic House Representatives urging him to rescind his appointment of Bannon. The letter stated that appointing Bannon “sends a disturbing message about what kind of president Donald Trump wants to be”, because his “ties to the White Nationalist movement have been well documented.” Bannon has always denied being a white nationalist and claimed, rather, that he is an “economic nationalist.”
In an interview with the New York Times in late November 2016, Present-elect Trump responded to the criticism over Brannon’s appointment by stating the following: “I’ve known Steve Bannon a long time. If I thought he was a racist, or alt-right, or any of the things that we can, you know, the terms we can use, I wouldn’t even think about hiring him.”
The Trump administration
Breitbart editor Julia Hahn followed Bannon to the White House, where she was appointed as Bannon’s aide, as well as Special Assistant to President Trump. Bannon, along with Steve Miller, was involved in the creation of the executive order, which resulted in restricted U.S. travel and immigration by individuals from seven Middle Eastern countries, suspension of these individuals from coming to the United States for 120 days, and indefinite suspension of the entry of Syrians to the United States.
Political views
Bannon’s political views are described as anti-globalist nationalism and America First. Donald Trump described his agenda in similar terms during his campaign. Bannon describes himself as an economic nationalist. He rejects allegations that he is a white nationalist. He recently called white nationalists “losers,” a “fringe element,” and a “collection of clowns.” Bannon has advocated reductions in immigration and restrictions on free trade particularly with China and Mexico. He views trade agreements such as NAFTA as part of the New World Order and as being pushed by an elite of globalists who want a one-world government under the United Nations. Bannon also supports significantly increasing spending on infrastructure and he opposes government bailouts, describing them as “socialism for the very wealthy.”
Bannon believes in reducing the size of the federal bureaucracy, declaring that he favored the “deconstruction of the administrative state.” He was a strong opponent of the Paris Climate Agreement, which was being pushed by globalists in the Trump administration, including Gary Cohen, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump. Bannon was successful in persuading President Trump to withdraw from Climate Agreement since withdrawing from it was one of Trump’s campaign promises. He is skeptical of military intervention abroad.
The reasons why President Trump may have fired Steve Bannon
Steve Bannon clashed with the members of Goldman Sachs globalist wing in the White House and the cabinet. For months, Bannon was engaged in a battle with Jared Kushner and other senior White House officials who had Wall Street ties. Fighting the president’s son-in-law and his daughter took courage but endangered Bannon’s survival in the White House. However, it showed that Bannon is a man of principles. The globalists in the Trump administration and many of their allies in the Republican Establishment wanted to get rid of the nationalist Bannon and finally they succeeded.

Gary Cohn is the chief economic advisor to President Donald Trump and Director of the National Economic Council. Previously, he was president and chief operating officer of Goldman Sachs from 2006 to 2017. Cohn is a Democrat and is thought to be one of the most influential voices in the Trump administration. He is being considered for replacing Janet Yellen when her term expires as Chair of the Board of Governors at the Federal Reserve. Goldman Sachs is an extremely powerful globalist investment bank. Former Goldman Sachs executives have occupied important cabinet and White House positions in both Republican and Democratic administration as well as in the central banks of other countries and the Bank for International Settlements which runs the world.
Senior adviser Jared Kushner is Donald Trump’s son-in-law.
On August 18, 2017, Sarah Westwood wrote an article titled “There’s a new sheriff in town: Inside Steve Bannon’s ouster” which was published by the Washington Examiner. The reporter explained that many people close to Steve Bannon said that other top White House aides had clashed with the chief strategist for months and actively worked to undermine him. Bannon’s allies frequently refer to those aides — a group that includes the Director of the National Economic Council and registered Democrat Gary Cohn; Deputy National Security Adviser Cairo-born Dina Habib Powell; Senior adviser Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in- law; and Senior adviser Ivanka Trump — as the “West Wing Democrats” or “globalists.” All of them have strong ties to Wall Street and to the Democratic Party.
Sources inside and outside the White House described Steve Bannon’s firing as the inevitable result of his enemies’ efforts to get rid of him. This was made easier by the dismissal last month of Bannon closest ally, former chief of staff Reince Priebus.
Cairo-born Dina Habib Powell is the current U.S. Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategy to President Donald Trump. She appears to the left of the picture with Hillary and Huma Abedin.
Powell is also an Assistant to the President and Senior Counselor for Economic Initiatives. Previously, Powell was a managing director and partner at Goldman Sachs and president of its non-profit subsidiary, the Goldman Sachs Foundation. Powell is a friend of Ivanka Trump and is considered to be her mentor. Informed individuals have said that Powell is a friend of both Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin.
Westwood stated the following: “President Trump’s decision to remove Steve Bannon, his chief strategist, came after a period of internal and external pressure to part ways with the controversial figure, and it was no coincidence that the move happened just a few weeks into the tenure of chief of staff John Kelly, White House aides and allies said. And while some cited Kelly’s arrival to the West Wing as the catalyst for Bannon’s exit, others said the opposition Bannon faced internally persuaded the president to dismiss him…The official suggested Bannon had a good working relationship with Kelly, noting it was Bannon’s advocacy that helped Kelly land the nomination to become secretary of Homeland Security.”
The reporter explained that a senior White House official told the Washington Examiner the following: “I would say it is very unlikely that this decision was taken weeks ago, as has been reported. This was also not going to be a unilateral decision made by the chief of staff, but a decision that was taken by the president based upon those within the White House pressurizing the president to fire him.” She said that Bannon’s conservative allies expressed fear that in the absence of Bannon, “the remaining senior staffers would not pursue proposals — like the border wall or decreased involvement in international conflicts — that Bannon championed during his tenure.” “This becomes a Democratic White House to us,” one Bannon ally said of the impending personnel change.
Westwood pointed out that staffers in the White House suggested, both before and after Bannon’s departure became public, that the onetime Breitbart chief, who is now returning to the his previous position, could do more damage outside the White House than within it. But others said General John Kelly and Steve Bannon “operated on completely different wavelengths, as the former prefers structure and order and the latter sometimes worked outside the chain of command Kelly is hoping to build in the West Wing.”
The reporter wrote that individuals close to the White House said that General John Kelly’s alignment with national security adviser General H.R. McMaster contributed to Bannon’s dismissal. Westwood stated the following: “Bannon and McMaster fought openly in recent weeks over what people close to the White House have described as long-simmering ideological tensions. While McMaster has pushed for increased troop levels in Afghanistan and has led the president away from tearing up the Iran nuclear agreement, Bannon has encouraged Trump to disentangle the U.S. from international conflicts and has long fought to void the Iran deal. McMaster recently sought and obtained from Kelly permission to fire a national security aide considered close to Bannon in a move that increased friction between the two men. A source close to the White House suggested Bannon may not be the last aide to go in a West Wing shake-up that has already seen the departures of press secretary Sean Spicer, communications director Anthony Scaramucci, chief of staff Reince Priebus and press aide Michael Short. Kelly was said to be reviewing the portfolios of the existing staff in an effort to streamline operations and formalize roles.”
Bannon returns to Breitbart News and the White House fears he might go on the attack
Westwood said that one individual close to Bannon said that the former White House strategist would likely turn up his website’s heat on the administration in areas where he believes the president has been straying from his campaign platform. On his last day at the White House, Bannon told Joshua Green, an author who wrote a recent book about him, that he plans to “go to war” for Trump against his enemies outside the White House.
Bannon said to the Weekly Standard the following: “The Trump presidency that we fought for, and won, is over. We still have a huge movement, and we will make something of this Trump presidency. But that presidency is over. It’ll be something else. And there’ll be all kinds of fights, and there’ll be good days and bad days, but that presidency is over. The Republican establishment has no interest in Trump’s success on this. They’re not populists, they’re nationalists, they had no interest in his program. Zero.”
Bannon recognized that his frustration with the Republican establishment was part of the reasons he left the White House. He ridiculed the “half-hearted attempt” at replacing ObamaCare and found the malaise on infrastructure discouraging. Bannon predicted that the tax cuts would be the “standard Republican version.” He said he was excited to return to Breitbart News and fuel the populist-nationalist movement forward. “I feel jacked up,” he stated. “Now I’m free. I’ve got my hands back on my weapons. Someone said, ‘it’s Bannon the Barbarian.’ I am definitely going to crush the opposition.”
The New York Times reported that Bannon clarified to the newspaper, which is the voice of the globalist Council on Foreign Relations, that he did not mean that the Trump’s agenda was over. Instead, he said he was referring to his direct work with Donald J. Trump from the end of the campaign to the first stages of his presidency.
Bannon told Bloomberg that he will be “going to war” on President Trump’s behalf as he will continue pushing the populist message with the political and corporate establishment. Bannon stated the following: “If there’s any confusion out there, led me clear it up: I’m leaving the White House and going to war for Trump against his opponents-on Capitol Hill, in the media, and in corporate America.”

On February 20, 2017, President Donald J. Trump appointed General H.R. McMaster Director of the White House Security Council following the resignation of General Michael T. Flynn on February 13. General McMaster indicated that he “intends to remain on active duty while he serves as national security adviser.”
Steve Bannon is joining Republican donor Robert Mercer, Co-CEO of the investment management company Renaissance Technology, and his daughter, Rebekah, in a new business, possibly a television channel. Breitbart News, which was founded in 2007, has been highly critical of White House National Security Adviser General H.R. McMaster recently. General McMaster was accused of belonging to an organization that had links to George Soros and of secretly briefing him. Soros and other Destroy Trump associates are funding over 170 communists and radical organizations which are trying to undermine the president and, if possible, drive him from office.
General McMaster was also denounced by Breitbart News for giving Susan Rice security clearance and saying that she did not illegally unmasked any Trump’s associates. The president had said earlier that she needed to be investigated for the possible unmasking of his associates which is a felony. General McMaster was also accused of being hostile to Israel.
Westwood concluded her article by stating the following: “His exit turns control of the West Wing fully over to Kelly, a relative centrist. The chief strategist position was created when Trump, during the transition, struggled to choose between Priebus and Bannon for his chief of staff, so the strategist post became a way to give Bannon equal influence in the White House without placing the polarizing figure in the storied chief of staff role, where he would have to deal with Republican congressional leaders he had sharply criticized while at Breitbart.” “There’s a new sheriff in town,” the person said of General Kelly.
Should the president fire or transfer General McMaster from the White House?
General H.R. McMaster is the Director of the White House Security Council.
On August 4, 2017, Alex Newman wrote an article titled “Globalist McMaster Purges Trump Loyalists, Protects Obamaites” which was published in the New American website. The reporter explained that General H.R. McMaster has attended Bilderberg Group meetings (the president sent him to the June 2017 Bilderberg meeting held in Virginia) and is a member of the globalist swamp known as the Council on Foreign Relations. Newman said that General McMaster is currently dismissing key President Trump loyalists within the administration who are trying to protect the president and implement his “America First” agenda, according to multiple sources and reports. He pointed out that one White House official who was recently fired for just highlighting in a report the unholy alliance against the president by Islamists and globalists.
Newman stated the following: “McMaster is said to be protecting and elevating radical Obama appointees dedicated to globalism, neoconservativism, and the infamous swamp that Trump promised to drain. Indeed, McMaster sent a letter to Susan Rice, Obama’s extreme national security adviser, waiving legal requirements and promising her continued access to classified information — a month after the start of a congressional investigation into her involvement in lawlessly unmasking the identities of Americans whose communications were intercepted. Much of McMaster’s scheming has been happening without Trump’s knowledge, inside sources and reports said. But now, with scandal swirling around the national security adviser, Trump is reportedly thinking of replacing McMaster and sending him off to Afghanistan. And among Trump’s supporters, a movement of sorts aimed at getting McMaster and other establishment globalists fired is gathering steam, with multiple hash tags calling for McMaster’s ouster spreading across social media.”
Newman explained that National Security Council Director for Strategic Planning Rich Higgins was terminated for outlining the powerful forces working to subvert President Trump and their strategy. Higgins wrote a seven-page memo describing what was and still is happening. Higgins said that the “Maoist insurgency model” was being used by subversive forces, both in and out of government, to destroy President Trump’s “America First” agenda that Americans voted for in massive numbers. Higgins, who was also fired, is an ally of anti-globalist White House strategist Steve Bannon and other anti-establishment forces in the administration.
Rich Higgins pointed out that globalists, bankers, deep state officials, and Islamists are all involved in trying to undermine the president. Higgins stated the following: “Through the campaign, candidate Trump tapped into a deep vein of concern among many citizens that America is at risk and slipping away. Globalists and Islamists recognize that for their visions to succeed, America, both as an ideal and as a national and political identity, must be destroyed.… Islamists ally with cultural Marxists because, as far back as the 1980s, they properly assessed that the left has a strong chance of reducing Western civilization to its benefit. Because the left is aligned with Islamist organizations at local, national and international levels, recognition should be given to the fact that they seamlessly interoperate through coordinated synchronized interactive narratives. These attack narratives are pervasive, full spectrum and institutionalized at all levels. They operate in social media, television, and the 24-hour news cycle in all media and are entrenched at the upper levels of the bureaucracies.”
Newman said that for writing this memo Higgins was fired by General McMaster, apparently without President Trump’s knowledge. But he was not the only one. Another recent victim of the globalist-led purge was Ezra Cohen-Watnick, the National Security Council’s senior director, and Senior Middle East Director, Derek Harvey. Both of them were General Flynn´s appointees. Yet another, Adam Lovinger, had his security clearance pulled by McMaster for attending a bar mitzvah in Israel, forcing him to leave his post.
Newman said that General McMaster has a list of more senior officials of the Trump administration that he intends to fire in the coming weeks. “They’re taking out people who were chosen to best implement the president’s policy that he articulated during the campaign,” a source said, with at least four more pro-Trump senior National Security Council officials said to be in the crosshairs.
Newman stated the following: “Other sources said the reason for the developments was that McMaster has a different agenda than Trump does. Among other issues, the swamp creatures backed by McMaster have supported the unconstitutional United Nations Paris Accord on climate, more war in Syria, Obama’s globalist and unconstitutional Iran deal, and more, while Trump loyalists have supported America First policies that reject those schemes. Lieutenant General McMaster appears to be a firmly committed globalist and a willing tool of the establishment. As The New American has been reporting since his appointment in February, McMaster has a solid globalist pedigree dating back more than a decade. Perhaps the most damning evidence of his globalist worldview and subservience to the establishment’s anti-American agenda is his membership in the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Despite its roster of powerful members, the CFR pushes an ultra-fringe agenda that virtually no mainstream American would support if they understood it.”
The Arundel House in London is the headquarters of the International Institute for Strategic Studies. The globalist institute is a British research think tank in the area of international affairs.
Newman wrote that 10 years ago General McMaster joined the globalist-minded International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) in London as a “senior research associate.” According to the organization itself, his mandate was to “conduct research to identify opportunities for improved multi-national cooperation and political-military integration in the areas of counterinsurgency, counter-terrorism, and state building.” In short, his job was to find ways to advance globalism and what globalists often refer to openly as the “New World Order.”
Newman concluded his article by saying the following: “Unfortunately, as The New American has documented extensively, McMaster is not the only establishment-backed globalist swamp creature haunting the administration and seemingly betraying the American people who voted for Trump. In fact, there are a number of CFR members and Bilderberg attendees burrowed into strategic positions all across the administration. If Trump truly hopes to Make America Great Again, he will have to begin with a purge of globalists and establishment operatives. Considering the on-going purge of Trump’s most loyal people by McMaster, the national security advisor might be a good place to begin draining the swamp -- before the swamp manages to drain Trump.”
The Washington Post, which is part of the Destroy Trump corrupt mainstream media, reported on August 19, 2017, that the decision to fire Bannon came from General Kelly. It came three weeks after General Kelly was named Chief of Staff was given extraordinary power to overhaul the West Wing staff in an effort to stop the infighting among officials and leaks to the news media.
Stephen Miller is serving as President Trump’s senior advisor for policy and speechwriter.
Stephen Miller worked previously as the communications director for then-Republican Alabama Senator and current Attorney General Jeff Sessions. He also served as a press secretary to Republican Representatives Michele Bachmann and John Shadegg. Miller is one of President Trump’s chief speechwriter. He has been a key adviser since the presidential campaign and the early days of Donald Trump’s presidency. Together with Steve Bannon, Miller was chief architect of President Trump’s executive order restricting immigration from several Middle Eastern countries.
It is believed that Stephen Miller, President Trump’s top policy adviser and speechwriter, will continue serving in the White House. His views on immigration policy and radical Islam, among other things, are similar to the ones held by Steve Bannon. Although Miller is viewed as the natural heir of Bannon’s status as the in-house nationalist, he has made efforts to build bridges with Jared Kushner and other globalist officials.
The Destroy Trump New York Times reported on August 19, 2017 that Christopher Ruddy, the chief executive of Newsmax Media and a friend of President Trump, stated, the following: “I think it’s going to be good for both Steve and for the president. The president has a major hurdle in the fall, I think, in getting legislation passed.” Ruddy cited several legislators who had told the White House “that they had a real problem with Steve because of Breitbart, and Breitbart’s been a thorn in the side for a lot of congressional Republicans.”
The New York Times indicated that President Trump’s first year in office has been plagued by departures of many White House officials. Among those dismissed or who resigned were Anthony Scaramucci and Michael Dubke, both of whom served as communications director; Michael T. Flynn, the president’s first national security adviser; Sean Spicer, the press secretary; and Reince Priebus, who served as chief of staff before General Kelly. On August 19, Carl Icahn, a billionaire investor who was advising President Trump on regulatory issues, announced that he was stepping down from that role. On that same day, A.R. Bernard, a pastor on the president’s Evangelical Advisory Board, quit, citing a “deepening conflict in values between myself and the administration.”
The New York Times said the following: “By dismissing Mr. Bannon, the president loses the most visible avatar of the nationalist agenda that propelled him to victory. Contentious and difficult, Mr. Bannon was nonetheless a driving force behind the president’s most high-profile policies: imposing a ban on travelers from several majority-Muslim countries; shrinking the federal bureaucracy; shedding regulations; and rethinking trade policies by aggressively confronting China and other countries… Mr. Bannon had become increasingly critical of Mr. Trump, according to a person close to both men, complaining that the president lacked the political skills and discipline to avoid a succession of self-inflicted public relations disasters. But ultimately, he viewed the president as losing sight of what propelled Mr. Trump to the White House.”
“There were different interpretations of how Mr. Bannon left his job, which had been long anticipated in Washington. One White House official, who would not be named discussing the president’s thinking, said Mr. Trump has wanted to remove Mr. Bannon since he ousted Mr. Priebus three weeks ago. Since then, Mr. Kelly has been evaluating Mr. Bannon’s status, according to the official. But a person close to Mr. Bannon insisted that the parting of ways was his idea, and that he had submitted his resignation to the president on August 7, to be announced at the start of this week, timed to his one-year anniversary of working for Mr. Trump.”
President Trump thanked Bannon for his service in the campaign and the White House
President Donald Trump thanked his former White House strategist Steve Bannon for his service in the presidential campaign and the White House the next day after he fired him.
It is believed that the dismissal of Steve Bannon could hurt the president with his conservative anti-globalist and nationalistic populist base. Republican Congressman Steve King from Iowa, who is close to Steve Bannon, said that President Trump’s base could revolt. Representative King stated in an interview the following: “With Steve Bannon gone, what’s left of the conservative core in the West Wing? Who’s going to carry out the Trump agenda?”
Conclusion
Time will tell if the dismissal of Steve Bannon was a mistake and if the conservative base will revolt. One thing is certain, the globalist wing in the White House is strong and influential. Those individuals, such as this writer, who worked hard to elect the patriot Donald Trump as president hope that he does not lose sight of what propelled him to the White House. It is very troubling to see so many globalists working in the White House and in the cabinet!

GENERAL JOHN KELLY’S APPOINTMENT AS CHIEF OF STAFF AND THE WHITE HOUSE STAFF SHAKE UP
July 31, 2017 by Frank de Varona - Bear Witness Central

President Donald Trump named Homeland Security Secretary General John Kelly as White House Chief of Staff.
On July 28, 2017, President Donald Trump appointed Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly as his chief of staff, replacing Reince Priebus. In an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, Priebus said he submitted his resignation to the president privately on July 27.
Priebus stated the following: “The President wanted to go a different direction. A president has a right to hit a reset button. I think it’s a good time to hit the reset button. I think he was right to hit the reset button. I’m always going to be a Trump fan. I’m on Team Trump and I look forward to helping him achieve his goals and his agenda for the American people.”
Priebus also said the following: “I think General Kelly is a brilliant pick. We’ll be working on a transition here for a couple weeks together with General Kelly (starting on July 31, which is his first day). So this is not like a situation where there are a bunch of ill will feelings.”

Reince Priebus served as White House Chief of Staff from January 20, 2017 until July 27, 2017. Priebus’ 189-day tenure as chief of staff is the shortest in modern presidential history. Previously, he had been chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC), RNC general counsel, and chairman of the Republican Party of Wisconsin.
