"The Biggest Show Of Force Since World War II": Japan To Send Its Largest Warship To South China Sea




The tension over the disputed territory in the South China Sea is about to escalate to another level: according to a Reuters report, Japan is preparing to to dispatch its largest warship on a three-month tour through the South China Sea beginning in May, in "its biggest show of naval force in the region since World War Two."
Japan Maritime Self Defense Force's helicopter carrier Izumo 
The 249 meter-long (816.93 ft) Izumo is as large as Japan's World War Two-era carriers and can operate up to nine helicopters. It resembles the amphibious assault carriers used by U.S. Marines, but lacks their well deck for launching landing craft and other vessels.
While China claims almost all the disputed waters despite the regular complaints of other nations in the region, and its growing military presence has fueled concern in Japan and the West, with the United States holding regular air and naval patrols to ensure freedom of navigation, so far Japan's territorial claims have involved the Senkaku island chain in the East China Sea; that however appears to be changing as Japan seeks to stake a military presence in the contested region. 
The Izumo helicopter carrier, commissioned only two years ago, will make stops in Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines and Sri Lanka before joining the Malabar joint naval exercise with Indian and U.S. naval vessels in the Indian Ocean in July, before returning to Japan in August.
Why create another point of Chinese antagonism over the region? "The aim is to test the capability of the Izumo by sending it out on an extended mission," said one of the sources who have knowledge of the plan. "It will train with the U.S. Navy in the South China Sea," he added, asking not to be identified because he is not authorized to talk to the media. A spokesman for Japan's Maritime Self Defense Force declined to comment. 
Taiwan, Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippines and Brunei also claim parts of the sea which has rich fishing grounds, oil and gas deposits and through which around $5 trillion of global sea-borne trade passes each year. Japan does not have any claim to the waters, but has a separate maritime dispute with China in the East China Sea. 

Japan wants to invite Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, who has pushed ties with China in recent months as he has criticized the old alliance with the United States, to visit the Izumo when it visits Subic Bay, about 100 km (62 miles) west of Manila, another of the sources said. Asked during a news conference about his view on the warship visit, Duterte said, without elaborating, "I have invited all of them."
He added: "It is international passage, the South China Sea is not our territory, but it is part of our entitlement." On whether he would visit the warship at Subic Bay, Duterte said: "If I have time."
Japan's unexpected flag-flying operation comes as the United States is conflicted between taking a tougher line with China and making concessions ahead of Xi's visit to Trump next month. Washington has criticized China's construction of man-made islands and a build-up of military facilities that it worries could be used to restrict free movement. Beijing responded in January said it had "irrefutable" sovereignty over the disputed islands after the White House vowed to defend "international territories".
As Reuters notes, Japan in recent years, particularly under Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, has been stretching the limits of its post-war, pacifist constitution and has been making aggressive pushes for a return to militarism. It has designated the Izumo as a destroyer because the constitution forbids the acquisition of offensive weapons. The vessel, nonetheless, allows Japan to project military power well beyond its territory. Based in Yokosuka, near to Tokyo, which is also home to the U.S. Seventh Fleet's carrier, the Ronald Reagan, the Izumo's primary mission is anti-submarine warfare.

What has Prompted Massive Troop Movement in the US?

FEMA Camps Await Many If the Deep State Wins



fema-regions
With the election of Donald Trump, a huge roadblock was thrown into the plans of the globalists with regard to their completion timetable with regard to the takedown of the United States. However, the forces of the Deep State have reared their ugly heads in unison and are preparing to depose Donald Trump and reassert their progressive march toward brutal totalitarianism.
The concern is almost universal. Everyone from Paul Martin to ex-CIA Robert Steele to Paul Preston, we all feel the same. The game is almost over and America is about to experience its darkest days. Trump must lead the way with very bold and decisive actions directed against the Deep State and their elected figureheads.

This Was Almost America’s Future

Do you remember when Hillary made a joke, which really wasn’t a joke, about her belief that many could benefit from going to a “fun” camp? Everyone knew that Clinton meant FEMA camp and we all know what that means.
That belief is bolstered by the fact that the man who launched Obama’s political career, convicted felon Bill Ayers of the Weathermen Underground, once told FBI Special Informant, Larry Grathwohl that he would have to put 50 million American in re-education camps if they ever took over. Ayers also stated that he would do away with, meaning murder, 25 million. In light of the Trump populist movement, those numbers would be far higher. It should be noted that Ayers visited Obama, several times, at the White House, during the long 8 years of his reign of terror.


The United States came very close to experiencing a purge like none other in our nation’s history. Had Hillary Clinton been elected, the guns would have been the first thing that she would have taken. From all that she stands for and all that she said, many would have lost their property and their First Amendment right to speak out. The Internet would have been well on its way to being controlled, and I mean that control would have extended way beyond the liberal-motivated, monopolistic social media stranglehold that presently exists.
In regard to the plans of the New World Order, Obama was opening act, the set-up man, if you will. Clinton was to have been the closer. These plans were interrupted by the “accidental” election of Donald Trump. Trump’s election temporarily interrupted the march toward the destruction of the country in order that global governance would be introduced and the world, as well as the USA, would have slipped into a modern form of neo-feudalism under the auspices of extreme environmentalism (ie carbon credits replace the dollar and all other paper currency).
There would have been push back from the people, but that is why
Obama fired over 300 command officers in the military. There could be no loyalty to the Constitution and the people if the coming revolution was to succeed. This is also why Jade Helm 15 was activated. This is why we saw new malls and shopping centers, post 2014, that began to appear that resembled prisons with their guard towers that were not aesthetically pleasing and were very costly.

Most don’t know that in 2012, Simon Properties, the largest owner of strip malls and malls in North America, signed an agreement with DHS which would have allowed them the ability to “assist” the government with the use of their facilities in times of “national emergency”. These agreements extended to every sports venue in America. The globalists needed FEMA camps, many FEMA camps. Many of us in the Patriot movement saw this for exactly was it was. Extreme martial law, just like in the USA Network show, Colony, awaited the American people. I want to reiterate, that if one wants a visual and story-line picture of what life would be like under our soon-to-be landlords, the globalists, one should intently watch Colony.
In summation, Americans barely escaped judgment day and the fulfillment of Obama and Ayers’ globalist plans for our country.

Temporarily Gone but Not Forgotten

I want to remind America, the Obama/Clinton/Ayers threat is only a stone’s throw away, just like Obama is from the Capitol as Obama and his OFA have taken up residence only two miles from the White House.
George Soros is organizing the thugs of America to riot and pillage. These thugs are beta testing whether or not they can get local law enforcement authorities to stand down during the coming American Spring.  America is 4 to 10 weeks away from this event. We will see rioting in this country like which will make the 1960’s anti-Vietnam protests look like an elementary recess.
Trump Is on the Way to Being Rendered Impotent
His administration is under attack like no other. Trump has mortal enemies in the Deep State. He has enemies within his own ranks who are actively helping the revolutionaries to take over this country.
The Deep State has, to a large extent, reduced Trump to a defensive posture and have taken him off point.
If Trump does not change the momentum by the end of April a
nd the American Spring is allowed to begin, this will mark the beginning of the end for Trump. This will also mark the beginning of the end for many of you and our country as a whole.
If the Democrats and the Deep State manage to reduce the Trump administration to a quagmire, the Democrats will be take over the House of Representatives and impeach Trump in 2018-19.  The game, at that point will be over and America will return to its journey towards its final demise.

Trump must take the initiative back. He must invoke the nuclear option, so to speak. Do you remember when Clinton fired all the attorneys at the DOJ? Trump needs to begin to clean house. He needs to sequester the CIA, nobody in or out until he puts his own people in. He needs to fire the majority of the employees at the State Department and the FBI. Comey needs to be fired, TODAY.
Trump needs to take the initiative and prosecute Hillary Clinton for the 33,000 emails. This is low-hanging fruit. She can easily prosecute and convict Clinton if Trump chooses the correct venue.

Conclusion

The so-called Pizzagate arrests need to be increased ten-fold. Deals need to be made. The turning point will come when the first Congressmen is indicted and does the perp walk. It will get ugly, but this is the price of freedom because if Trump does not begin to do something, our collective futures will go up in flames. Many of us will be headed to FEMA Camps under who would replace a deposed Trump.

Global Leaders Rattle Their Sabers As The World Marches Toward War


Image result for soldier Sabres
Iran just conducted another provocative missile test, more U.S. troops are being sent to the Middle East, it was just announced that the U.S. military will be sending B-1 and B-52 bombers to South Korea in response to North Korea firing four missiles into the seas near Japan, and China is absolutely livid that a U.S. carrier group just sailed through contested waters in the South China Sea.  We have entered a season where leaders all over the globe feel a need to rattle their sabers, and many fear that this could be leading us to war.  In particular, Donald Trump is going to be under the microscope in the days ahead as other world leaders test his resolve.  Will Trump be able to show that he is tough without going over the edge and starting an actual conflict?
The Iranians made global headlines on Thursday when they conducted yet another ballistic missile test despite being warned by Trump on numerous occasions…
As tensions between the U.S. and Iran continue to mount, the semi-official news agency Tasnim is reporting that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has successfully conducted yet another ballistic missile test, this time from a navy vessel.  Called the Hormuz 2, these latest missiles are designed to destroy moving targets at sea at ranges up to 300 km (180 miles).
Reports on the latest test quotes Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the IRGC’s Aerospace Force, who confirmed that “the naval ballistic missile called Hormuz 2 successfully destroyed a target which was 250 km away.”
The missile test is the latest event in a long-running rivalry between Iran and the United States in and around the Strait of Hormuz, which guards the entrance to the Gulf. About 20% of the world’s oil passes through the waterway, which is less than 40 km wide at its narrowest point.
So how will Trump respond to this provocation?
Will he escalate the situation?  If he does nothing he will look weak, but if he goes too far he could risk open conflict.
Elsewhere in the Middle East, things are already escalating.  It is being reported that “several hundred Marines” are on the ground in Syria to support an assault on the city of Raqqa, and another 1,000 troops could be sent to Kuwait to join the fight against ISIS any day now.  The following comes from Zero Hedge
While the Trump administration waits to decide if it will send 1,000 troops to Kuwait to fight ISIS, overnight the Washington Post reported that the US has sent several hundred Marines to Syria to support an allied local force aiming to capture the Islamic State stronghold of Raqqa. Defence officials said they would establish an outpost from which they could fire artillery at IS positions some 32km (20 miles) away. US special forces are already on the ground, “advising” the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) alliance according to the BBC.
The defence officials told the Washington Post that the Marines were from the San Diego-based 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit, and that they had flown to northern Syria via Djibouti and Kuwait. They are to set up an artillery battery that could fire powerful 155mm shells from M777 howitzers, the officials said. Another marine expeditionary unit carried out a similar mission at the start of the Iraqi government’s operation to recapture the city of Mosul from IS last year.
Meanwhile, China is spitting mad for several reasons.  For one, the Chinese are absolutely furious that South Korea has allowed the U.S. to deploy the THAAD missile defense system on their soil…
China is lashing out at South Korea and Washington for the deployment of a powerful missile defense system known as the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system, or THAAD, deposited at the Osan Air Base in South Korea on Monday evening.
The deployment of THAAD follows several ballistic missile tests by North Korea in recent months, including the launch of four missiles on Monday, three of which landed in the sea off the coast of Japan. Though THAAD would help South Korea protect itself from a North Korean missile attack, China is vocally protesting the deployment of the system, claiming it upsets the “strategic equilibrium” in the region because its radar will allow the United States to detect and track missiles launched from China.
Of course the U.S. needed to do something, because the North Koreans keep rattling their sabers by firing off more ballistic missiles toward Japan.
But it is one thing to deploy a missile defense system, and it is another thing entirely to fly strategic nuclear bombers into the region.
So if the Chinese were upset when THAAD was deployed, how will they feel when B-1 and B-52 bombers start showing up in South Korea?
Earlier this week, trigger-happy Kim pushed his luck once more when he fired off four ballistic missiles into the seas near Japan.
Now US military chiefs are reportedly planning to fly in B-1 and B-52 bombers – built to carry nuclear bombs – to show America has had enough.
South Korea and the US have also started their annual Foal Eagle military exercise sending a strong warning to North Korea over its actions.
A military official said 300,000 South Korean troops and 15,000 US personnel are taking part in the operation.
The Trump administration has openly stated that all options “are on the table” when it comes to North Korea, and that includes a military strike.
It has been more than 60 years since the Korean War ended, but many are concerned that we may be closer to a new Korean War than we have been at any point since that time.
And of course our relationship with China is tumbling precariously downhill as well.  Another reason why the Chinese are extremely upset with the Trump administration is because a U.S. Navy carrier battle group led by the USS Carl Vinson sailed past islands that China claims in the South China Sea just a few weeks ago.
In China, the media openly talks about the possibility of war with the United States over the South China Sea.  Most Americans are not even aware that the South China Sea is a very serious international issue, but over in China this is a major focus.
And the U.S. military has recently made several other moves in the region that have angered the Chinese
Also in February, the U.S. sent a dozen F-22 Raptor stealth fighters to Tindal AB in northern Australia, the closest Australian military airbase to China, for coalition training and exercises. It’s the first deployment of that many F-22s in the Pacific.
And if that didn’t get the attention of the Chinese government, the U.S. just tested four Trident II submarine-launched ballistic missiles during a nuclear war exercise, sending the simulated weapons 4,200 miles from the coast of California into the mid-Pacific. It’s the first time in three years the U.S. has conducted tests in the Pacific, and the first four-missile salvo since the end of the Cold War.
I can understand the need to look tough, but eventually somebody is going to go too far.
If you are familiar with my work, then you know that I believe that war is coming.  Things in the Middle East continue to escalate, and it is only a matter of time before a great war erupts between Israel and her neighbors.  Meanwhile, U.S. relations with both Russia and China continue to deteriorate, and this is something that I have been warning about for a very long time.
We should hope for peace, but we should also not be blind to the signs of war that are starting to emerge all over the planet.  Relatively few people anticipated the outbreak of World War I and World War II in advance, and I have a feeling that the same thing will be true for World War III.

WARNING: WEB BOT, BITCOIN & COMEX ARE ALL SCREAMING "HYPERINFLATION!"

U.S. Congress told to brace for 'robotic soldiers'



Image result for robot soldier

House lawmakers were warned Wednesday that artificial intelligence could soon be used by potential adversaries in military operations.

Jason Healey, a senior fellow on the Atlantic Council’s Cyber Statecraft Initiative, told members of a House panel with oversight of the Pentagon that he expects the capabilities to be developed in the next decade.

“There has been lot of speculation … about how soon it will be before robotic soldiers take the place of the fight in the kinetic world,” Rep. Mike Conaway (R-Texas) asked the panel of cyber experts. “How soon will A.I. supplant the need … for all these human beings to be able to defend these networks and do what we do?”

Healey answered that he expects the capability to be developed more quickly than anticipated.

Peter Singer, a strategist at the New America Foundation, said that artificial intelligence is among potential “disruptions” being developed in the realm of cyber conflict.

“It’s not just when is it going to happen, but we don’t yet know is it going to privilege the offense or defense, what are going to be the affects of it,” Singer said, recommending that Congress hold a classified hearing on where the U.S. stands in comparison to likely adversaries on this capability.

“We don’t want to fall behind," he said.
