Politics?
There was a kind of reprieve on the execution of some convicted drug smugglers. I don't have any personal ill will against the drug dealers as I believe in the saying that it takes two to tango. It seems like the lawyers of the 2 Australians with the backing of their govt are using the delaying tactics. I wonder if those who are murdered/victims of drug fueled crimes were given such a time. True, they've shown their true talents and shared them to other inmates who later when released could become good members of the community. But what about those who already perished or in the brink of point of no return. I just can't simply understand. Is that what humanity is all about? Reading what the two were able to do inside the jail made me wonder why in the first place they did put it into good use. I simply consider them geniuses but too late a hero!
More lies from Trump - Not "imminent threat".
From Rolling Stone;
Donald Trump is the single most untrustworthy individual to have ever occupied the White House.
He is unfit for the office and should be removed from it. He seems to have an unending stream of lies that he applies to everything he does. The only thing one can trust about Trump is that he will lie again.

Turns Out the Attack on Soleimani May Have Been Retaliatory. Trump Approved It 7 Months Ago
This contradicts the president’s stated reason for the assassination, which he said was an “imminent” threat against U.S. embassies from Iran
The always-changing justification for the timing of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani’s assassination has taken another turn.
According to a new report from NBC News, President Donald Trump gave the go-ahead to take out Soleimani seven months ago. The directive came with one stipulation: Trump would have to give the final OK before a specific plan to kill Soleimani could begin.
Of course, this new information flies in the face of the “imminent” threat against the U.S. that Trump and others in his administration have stated as a rationale for the strike, and this development might give some clarity as to why we’ve seen a mess of contradictions emanating from the White House justifying the assassination.
Trump rejected a recommendation to kill Soleimani in June from then-national security adviser John Bolton after Iran shot down a U.S. drone because, according to the report, Trump’s redline for taking out Soleimani was the killing of an American by Iranian backed forces.
Was the direction to strike Soleimani based on the death of an American defense contractor who was killed in a December rocket attack by Iranian proxies in Iraq? If so, the strike then appears to have been retaliatory rather than to preempt an attack.
If NBC’s reporting is correct, it contradicts the thus far unsubstantiated claims of an “imminent” threat. And it raises the risk that the assassination of Soleimani was a violation of international law. The report adds to the confusion created when Trump claimed four U.S. embassies had been under threat, even though others in his administration have contradicted him. On Sunday, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said he “didn’t see” a potential threat “with regard to four embassies.” And lawmakers who received a classified briefing on the strike heard nothing about those same threats.
Another reason Trump may have decided to kill Soleimani emerged over the past week when the New York Times and Wall Street Journal separately reported that Trump may have ordered the strike to shore up support with Republican senators whom the president will need on his side as the impeachment trial draws nearer.
Both Trump and Vice President Mike Pence added even more nonsense to the aftermath of the strike on Soleimani by falsely claiming that the general had connections to both Benghazi and 9/11.
As with so many controversies that have come with this presidency, the multiple and contradictory have so muddied the waters that the media and news consumers may just give up on trying to understand. But this incident has the potential to bring us to war, so it is of vital importance that we get to the truth. America has been down the road of false information leading to conflicts in the Middle East, causing the loss of lives and stability in the region. America cannot let Donald Trump lead us into war based on his trademark lies and disinformation.

Up and Coming Court Dates.
3 months ago
Up and Coming Common Law Courts
We can confirm that the Common Law Court is causing considerable problems for the statutory courts (places of business), so much so that they are also having to ignore our inherent rights (writ of habeas corpus) to retain control.
The statutory courts (places of business) have also unlawfully extradited Lynda Thyer to France, where she will be tried. This was despite lodging a challenge to their authority and jurisdiction and a writ of habeas corpus.
Great Britain can now boast that they may be one of only a few countries in the world that fail to comply with a writ of habeas corpus, proof that we have no justice in the statutory jurisdiction.
We now wish to inform you about the convening of up and coming Common Law Courts.
We have four courts which will be convened on the following dates:
Saturday 31st August 2019 To deal with the issue of the UNLAWFUL treatment of David Noakes and Lynda Thyer, in relation to GcMAF, a successful treatment for cancer and other illnesses.
The Defendants are:
Nicholas Loraine Smith (Judge), c/o Southwark Crown Court, 1 English Grounds, London, SE1 2HU
Jean-Luc Gadaud (Judge), c/o Court of Appeal Paris, 10 Boulevard du Palais, 75001 Paris, France
Venue HOLIDAY INN, GUILDFORD, EGERTON ROAD, GUILDFORD, SURREY, GU2 7XZ
Time: Arrive between 10am and 10.50am, Commences at 11am sharp.
Sunday 1st September 2019 To deal with the unlawful administering of the HPV vaccine to the people.
The Defendants are:
Matt Hancock (Secretary of State for Health and Social Care) British Isles
David Ashford (Minister for Health and Social Care) Isle of Man
Richard Renouf (Minister for Health and Social Services) Jersey, Channel Islands
Henrietta Ewart (Director of Public Health) Isle of Man
Venue MANCHESTER ART GALLERY, MOSLEY STREET, MANCHESTER, M2 3JL
Time: Arrive between 11.30am and 11.50am, Commences at Noon sharp.
Additional Cases
There will also be two additional cases on Sat/Sun 14th/15th of September 2019. These cases will deal with the issues of the 5G roll out and the unlawful behaviour of the banks, mortgage companies and the Land Registry.
Further details of the defendants, times and venues will be published in the next couple of weeks.
CLC Enforcement
The Common Law Court has been working for several months on this issue and we will have this operational within the next couple of weeks. Further details will be updated on the website under the ‘Latest News’ category.
THE PEOPLE NEED YOUR HELP
As you are aware the Common Law Court is not funded and exists with limited income. It is essential that we continue to convene our own courts and that we can provide a lawful remedy.
These up and coming courts will be able to accommodate over 100 people in the public gallery and will have audio and video equipment to assist with the presentation of the cases.
If you can help, we need funding to pay for these venues. Could you please forward a one-off donation to assist with these costs or if possible, could you please set up a monthly donation for £1.00 per month. While the monthly donation is a token amount, if everyone were to donate, this would allow us to cover the running costs for these courts.

Let's Remember That President Trump Has Donated Every Penny Of His Salary Since He Took Office
In addition to having lost several BILLION dollars of his net worth due to his service to America while president, President Trump has quietly and without fanfare donated every penny of salary he is entitled to as president to causes to benefit the country. This should be remembered every time the phony charges of self dealing by the Democrats arise. No president has ever made more of a financial sacrifice to serve the country than President Trump. Did he need to be president? No. If he hadn't he'd be billions of dollars richer. So you tell me... what is his motivation to serve and with such passion and vigor?

Buzzfeed editor stands by report
In response to:
New York (CNN)
Now that the special counsel's office has taken the rare step of disputing a news report about its investigation, BuzzFeed is challenging the special counsel to be more specific.
"We stand by the reporting in this story," BuzzFeed News editor in chief Ben Smith said on "Anderson Cooper 360" Friday evening.
"We spoke to, as we described in the story, two federal law enforcement officials involved in the investigation -- we're not playing any games with that characterization -- who told us that the president directed Michael Cohen to lie to Congress," Smith said.
He described the special counsel's push-back as "vague," and said, "We really urge the special counsel to make it clear what he's disputing."
Special counsel Robert Mueller's office has not responded to Smith's call for more information.

Biden Says He Needs Your Vote Today On "Super Thursday": The Man Belongs In A Nursing Home
Seriously, it's pathetic. He doesn't know where he is (he's got that wrong on numerous occasions) or what day it is. He's already older than the oldest president in history AFTER HE FINISHED BEING PRESIDENT. And his mind is shot. Are the Democrats serious about this guy? Yes they say? Serious as a heart attack? Oh wait... that would be Sanders. Their other nonagenarian candidate teetering on the brink.
"We hold these truth's to be self l'evident. All men and women created by the... go ...ahhh... by... you know the thing!" ~Joe Biden
I don't know which is scarier, that an Alzheimer's patient is running for president, or that half the people in this country would actually vote for him. What does that tell you about mental health in America?
Lord save us!
