End Of The Endless Wars?

Has President Donald Trump run an end game against the endless wars? Will we see a more stable and peaceful Middle East in the aftermath of the Iranian War? Has Trump defanged the Mullahs by stripping away their weaponry as well as their capacity to build new bombs, drones, planes and war ships?

How about NATO? None of America’s NATO’s allies took part in the Iran War, and some of those nations — like Great Britain, France and Spain — actually thwarted the U.S. military. There’s no reason whatsoever to continue making payments to NATO. We should reserve our spending for European defense for those nations like Poland, Hungary  and the Slovak Republic that actually support the United States and have shown they are serious about maintaining a defensive posture.

Is Trump also ready to end the Federal Reserve? Will the U.S. Treasury become our federal government’s financial agent, rather than allowing central bankers to make huge bundles off the taxpayers’ dollars?

Pray! There’s plenty more in this new edition from And We Know, including a look at the rogue judges who occupy so many of our nation’s courts, as well as penal institutions, among them Alcatraz.

Palau’s Bomb Squads

In just four years, 23,000 WW2 bombs have been removed from tourist haven Palau. Yet with thousands more littering the island, the legacy of battle remains a deadly threat to people, economy and environment.

“Over there in the mangroves is a 100kg bomb sticking out,” points Steve Ballinger of the demining organization Cleared Ground. The inhabitants of the island are still coming to grips with the extent of the threat. Every search uncovers more bombs: in the waters, caves and even people’s backyards. Acid leaking out of the bombs poisons the water and the animals that people eat. As the race to remove the bombs becomes more hazardous, this report from SBS Australia captures the dangerous task of cleaning up an old mess.
