Former Catalan President Artur Mas On Trial: The Spanish State Against Democracy
On Tuesday February 6th 2017, former Presiudent of the Catalan Generalitat Artur Mas, his Vice-President Joana Ortega and Education Minister Irene Rigau go trial for their involvement in the proxy referendum on Catalan independence. Mas will argue that it was not a referendum but rather a straw poll, literally a participative process, mainly organised by volunteers and that the reasons for the trial are political rather than legal. If found guilty, expect the Catalan authorities to take this before the European Court in Strasbourg and look for international support to allow them to hold a legal binding referendum this autumn.

Milo Yiannopoulos and Gavin McInnes Protests: Would Trump Be Right In Defunding Universities?
Following the riots before Milo Yiannopoulos’s talk at UC Berkeley, Donald Trump hinted that funding might be withdrawn from universities that shut down free speech. Since then UC Berkeley Professor Robert Reich has suggested that the rioters were actually right-wing infiltrators, which is clearly false, and there has been another protest against Gavin McInness at NYU, after which a professor went completely batshit crazy insulting the police. The fact that professors at these “liberal” universities can be both dishonest or insane adds weight to Trump’s threat.

Is There Any Basis Of Truth To Elite Paedophile Conspiracy Theories Like Pizzagate?
One of the problems with Pizzagate is that many of the claims surrounding were vastly exaggerated and this led to the whole of it being dismissed as a conspiracy theory. However, people like Jimmy Savile, Jeffrey Epstein, Dennis Hastert and Huma Abedin’s husband Anthony Weiner show that paedophilia and child abuse are rife amongst the political elites. Whilst much of the evidence surrounding Pizzagate is circumstancial, I’m reasonably certain that enough of is based on truth and expect more to come to light in the coming months.

Media Justifies Violence Against Anyone They Call A Nazi! Milo Yiannopoulos UC Berkely Debacle Is The Result!
On Wednesday night Breitbart writer and provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos attempted to speak at UC Berkeley but the talk had to be called off due to extremely violent protests, which involved burnings, fireworks and attacks on innocents. The level of leftish violence has increased dramatically since Trump’s inauguration and is being whipped by the mainstream media. THis is a definite threat to free speech and the rule of law.

Is Steve Bannon Really The Racist Monster They Says He Is? He Seems Like a Nice Guy To Me!
On three occasions in this morning’s newspaper Trump’s Chief Strategist Steve Bannon was described as racist sexist homophobic xenophobic and extreme right. He’s never looked that way to me so I decided to look into his role and history. The conclusion is that I’m pretty sure he’s a regular guy with ideas that the establishment-collectivist left seems to disapprove.

The American Dream Is Back! Trump’s Genius Two For One Executive Order To Cut Regulations!
On Monday January 30th 2017 President Trump signed a new Executive Order designed to severely cut regulations on large and small businesses, which had grown by nearly 50% during Obama’s two terms of office. The Order simply proposes that for any new regulation to come into effect, two unnecessary existing regulations have to be identified and the cost of implementation has to be zero. In this simple yet organic way, Trump expects to reduce regulatory restrictions significantly.

Full Text of Executive Order
Presidential Executive Order on Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs
EXECUTIVE ORDER
– – – – – – –
REDUCING REGULATION AND CONTROLLING REGULATORY COSTS
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921, as amended (31 U.S.C. 1101 et seq.), section 1105 of title 31, United States Code, and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Purpose. It is the policy of the executive branch to be prudent and financially responsible in the expenditure of funds, from both public and private sources. In addition to the management of the direct expenditure of taxpayer dollars through the budgeting process, it is essential to manage the costs associated with the governmental imposition of private expenditures required to comply with Federal regulations. Toward that end, it is important that for every one new regulation issued, at least two prior regulations be identified for elimination, and that the cost of planned regulations be prudently managed and controlled through a budgeting process.
Sec. 2. Regulatory Cap for Fiscal Year 2017. (a) Unless prohibited by law, whenever an executive department or agency (agency) publicly proposes for notice and comment or otherwise promulgates a new regulation, it shall identify at least two existing regulations to be repealed.
(b) For fiscal year 2017, which is in progress, the heads of all agencies are directed that the total incremental cost of all new regulations, including repealed regulations, to be finalized this year shall be no greater than zero, unless otherwise required by law or consistent with advice provided in writing by the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (Director).
(c) In furtherance of the requirement of subsection (a) of this section, any new incremental costs associated with new regulations shall, to the extent permitted by law, be offset by the elimination of existing costs associated with at least two prior regulations. Any agency eliminating existing costs associated with prior regulations under this subsection shall do so in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act and other applicable law.
(d) The Director shall provide the heads of agencies with guidance on the implementation of this section. Such guidance shall address, among other things, processes for standardizing the measurement and estimation of regulatory costs; standards for determining what qualifies as new and offsetting regulations; standards for determining the costs of existing regulations that are considered for elimination; processes for accounting for costs in different fiscal years; methods to oversee the issuance of rules with costs offset by savings at different times or different agencies; and emergencies and other circumstances that might justify individual waivers of the requirements of this section. The Director shall consider phasing in and updating these requirements.
Sec. 3. Annual Regulatory Cost Submissions to the Office of Management and Budget. (a) Beginning with the Regulatory Plans (required under Executive Order 12866 of September 30, 1993, as amended, or any successor order) for fiscal year 2018, and for each fiscal year thereafter, the head of each agency shall identify, for each regulation that increases incremental cost, the offsetting regulations described in section 2(c) of this order, and provide the agency’s best approximation of the total costs or savings associated with each new regulation or repealed regulation.
(b) Each regulation approved by the Director during the Presidential budget process shall be included in the Unified Regulatory Agenda required under Executive Order 12866, as amended, or any successor order.
(c) Unless otherwise required by law, no regulation shall be issued by an agency if it was not included on the most recent version or update of the published Unified Regulatory Agenda as required under Executive Order 12866, as amended, or any successor order, unless the issuance of such regulation was approved in advance in writing by the Director.
(d) During the Presidential budget process, the Director shall identify to agencies a total amount of incremental costs that will be allowed for each agency in issuing new regulations and repealing regulations for the next fiscal year. No regulations exceeding the agency’s total incremental cost allowance will be permitted in that fiscal year, unless required by law or approved in writing by the Director. The total incremental cost allowance may allow an increase or require a reduction in total regulatory cost.
(e) The Director shall provide the heads of agencies with guidance on the implementation of the requirements in this section.
Sec. 4. Definition. For purposes of this order the term “regulation” or “rule” means an agency statement of general or particular applicability and future effect designed to implement, interpret, or prescribe law or policy or to describe the procedure or practice requirements of an agency, but does not include:
(a) regulations issued with respect to a military, national security, or foreign affairs function of the United States;
(b) regulations related to agency organization, management, or personnel; or
(c) any other category of regulations exempted by the Director.
Sec. 5. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

Chuck Schumer Sheds Liberal Crocodile Tears Over So-Called Muslim Ban. Trump Reacts
Democrat Senator for New York, Chuck Schumer burst into tears and described the so-called Muslim ban as “mean-spirited and un-American” whilst surrounded by Muslims during a photo op. Donald Trump call him out on it and wondered who is acting coach was, which provoked another outburst from the liberal press. However, it looks to me like Trump’s executive order is definitely the way forward because the migrants don’t only mean a national security threat but it’s a lot more effective to help them by setting up refugee camps in neighbouring countries.

Fake News Media Accuses Trump of Muslim Ban! Here are the Facts!
The so-called Muslim Ban, which Donald Trump signed on Friday Jan 27th, only applies to 7 countries when there are 38 Muslim majority countries in the world. It also applies to residents of other denominations from those countries so it’s not a Muslim ban at all but rather an Executive Order that is designed to decrease the security risk from citizens of these countries. Furthermore, the countries included were included in Obama legislation in 2013, 2015 and 2016 so it has very little to with Donald Trump at all.

Agenda 21: What Is Sustainable Development and Why It Should Concern Us
Agenda 21 is a plan for sustainable development established at a UN conference in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. Understanding it shines light on the globalist agenda and explains why our politicians want not only to make us poorer and decrease our property rights but also attack concepts such as national sovereignty through disruptive immigration policies and also seek to control our children’s minds and our life expectancy through medical programmes.
