🇰🇵 **N Korea leader 'briefed' on Guam plan but opts to wait**
<https://archive.is/sRDhN>

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un reviewed plans to fire missiles towards the US Pacific territory of Guam but will hold off, state media said. Although prepared for "the enveloping fire at Guam", the North said it would watch what "the foolish Yankees" do before taking a decision.

Last week's threat against Guam escalated the sharp rhetoric being exchanged between the two sides. This latest report points to a pause in the increasingly bitter war of words.

🇬🇧 **LONDON FREAKOUT AFTER BIG BEN SILENCED**
<https://archive.is/phDkJ>

Not even Nazi bombs could silence the famous symbol of Britishness. But having marked the hour with almost unbroken service since 1859, the Great Bell's bongs will soon cease for four years – because of health and safety.

Big Ben is to be silenced amid fears workers involved in a restoration project could have their hearing damaged. Authorities say it would be 'unacceptable' to expose workers on scaffolding surrounding the bell tower to the noise of its chimes – and also 'unacceptable' for them to wear ear defenders.

http://www.timesofisrael.com/outrage-as-swiss-hotel-asks-jewish-guests-to-shower-before-swimming/

- OY VEY THIS IS ANTISEMITIC REMEMBER THE 6 ZOGRILIION

A hotel in Switzerland put up signs telling “Jewish guests” to shower before swimming, sparking outrage from the guests and an official complaint from the Foreign Ministry on Monday.

“To our Jewish guests, women, men and children, please take a shower before you go swimming,” said one sign at the at the Aparthaus Paradies in the Alpine resort village of Arosa . “If you break the rules I’m forced to close the swimming pool for you.”

Another sign, this one on the refrigerator, said: “For our Jewish guests: You may access the refrigerator only in the following hours: 10:00-11:00 and 16:30-17:30. I hope you understand that our team does not like being disturbed all the time.”

While guests said they were horrified by the signs and Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely in a statement expressed her outrage at the situation, the hotel said it was a misunderstanding and there was no anti-Semitic intent at all.

- Hope Hicks, 28, Trump loyalist, will be replacing Mooch
- Used to work for Trump org alongside with Ivanka
- Says its interim but who knows

Hope Hicks, President Trump’s trusted confidante and adviser, is taking on expanded communications responsibilities while the White House searches for a new communications director to replace Anthony Scaramucci, who was fired from the job after just 10 days, according to a White House official.

Hicks will work with White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders in an interim capacity to fill the role of the communications director while the White House works to find a permanent replacement — a search with which Hope will assist.

Hicks, 28, currently serves as Trump’s director of strategic communications, and is one of the president’s most loyal and trusted aides. She started as Trump’s press secretary during the 2015 campaign and sits right outside the Oval Office. She also has close ties to the president’s daughter Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, a senior White House adviser.

The fallout from President Trump's response to the Charlottesville tragedy escalated Wednesday as more prominent CEOs quit advising the White House on economic matters and Trump disbanded his manufacturing and business policy councils.

"Rather than putting pressure on the businesspeople of the Manufacturing Council & Strategy & Policy Forum, I am ending both. Thank you all!," Trump tweeted.

Campbell Soup CEO Denise Morrison and 3M CEO Inge Thulin Wednesday joined a growing list of American chief executives who are leaving the president's manufacturing job council, an advisory group the White House formed this year.

***Steve Bannon, Unrepentant***
http://archive.is/SiPj3

Steve called a left wing (((journalist))) after the journo talks shit on US-NK beef

Interview somewhat resembles Mooch's banter to Ryan Lizza, did not mention if its on record or off record

Steve undercuts Trump's stance on NK. Dismissing "Fire and fury":'There's no military solution [to North Korea's nuclear threats], forget it. Until somebody solves the part of the equation that shows me that ten million people in Seoul don't die in the first 30 minutes from conventional weapons, I don't know what you're talking about, there's no military solution here, they got us."

He openly talked about his internal fights with colleagues: "That's a fight I fight every day here," he said. "We're still fighting. There's Treasury and [National Economic Council chair] Gary Cohn and Goldman Sachs lobbying."

He talked about changing personnel in a way that made him sound like the president: "I'm changing out people at East Asian Defense; I'm getting hawks in. I'm getting Susan Thornton [acting head of East Asian and Pacific Affairs] out at State."

But most important piece is this, when the journo ask him about muh white supremacists: **He dismissed the far right as irrelevant and sidestepped his own role in cultivating it: “Ethno-nationalism—it's losers. It's a fringe element. I think the media plays it up too much, and we gotta help crush it, you know, uh, help crush it more.”**

“These guys are a collection of clowns,” he added.

**“The Democrats,” he said, “the longer they talk about identity politics, I got ’em. I want them to talk about racism every day. If the left is focused on race and identity, and we go with economic nationalism, we can crush the Democrats.”**

***McCain, Romney, and Rubio Join the Republicans for Antifa Club***
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/08/16/mccain-romney-rubio-join-republicans-antifa-club/

- Never trust the neocons, they are the enemy to the people

As James Bond’s nemesis Auric Goldfinger famously observed, “Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence. The third time is enemy action.” On Tuesday evening, three prominent Republicans — Senator John McCain, Senator Marco Rubio, and 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney — endorsed the left-wing media’s preferred narrative and embraced the masked thugs of Antifa as heroes.

McCain and Romney used almost identical language, bending their knees to the media narrative that only two factions were present in Charlottesville during the awful events of last weekend: white supremacist Nazis and “Americans standing up to defy hate and bigotry.”

Frankly, if you can’t win an argument with a handful of Nazis without resorting to violence, you suck at freedom. If you can’t damn the swastika without also cursing the hammer and sickle, you suck at history.

🇺🇸 **Special counsel's Russia probe loses top FBI investigator**

One of the FBI's top investigators, tapped by special counsel Robert Mueller just weeks ago to help lead the probe of Russian meddling in last year's presidential election, has left Mueller’s team, sources tell ABC News.

The recent departure of FBI veteran Peter Strzok is the first known hitch in a secretive probe that by all public accounts is charging full-steam ahead. Just last week, news surfaced that Mueller's team had executed a search warrant at the Virginia home of Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort. And the week before that ABC News confirmed Mueller is now using a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., to collect documents and other evidence.

In late 2016, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg shut down an employees’ anonymous online group, called Facebook Anon, that was largely supportive of Donald Trump because Zuckerberg claimed members harassed others.

Facebook Anon was shut down in December 2016; Zuckerberg offered his explanation at an all-hands meetings three months later. Soon after Zuckerberg's appearance, a poster was put up in Facebook’s campus showing the dates of the commencement of Facebook Anon and its termination, captioned, “Silenced, but not silent.”

***Seattle’s mayor: Lenin statue needs to come down***

- Seattle mayor agrees on Posobiec that statue needs to come down
- He also mentions that Lenin statue and other Confederate statue in Seattle are in private property
- But communists arent people so it's not violating the NAP

SEATTLE — Seattle’s mayor wants Fremont’s privately owned Lenin statue taken down, likening it to Confederate monuments as a symbol of “hate, racism and violence.”

A day after a small group led by conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec called for the statue’s removal, Mayor Ed Murray agreed it should be taken from its spot in the Seattle neighborhood.

The mayor further explained his desire in an interview with Q13 News’ Brandi Kruse.

“I have had a position on that for years, because Fremont sits in my old legislative district,” Murray said. “That monument represents to many people in this city that their families having been murdered.”

“We can’t tell the private property owner what to do,” Murray said. “But we can say we think this isn’t a good message to the city.”

An American military veteran and teacher spotted the sculpture in an Eastern European scrap yard 1989, and mortgaged his house to bring the sculpture to Issaquah. The teacher recognized the statue as a piece of art, regardless of its subject.

The statue is now owned by the teacher’s family, and it sits at the “temporary viewing” site in Fremont while it’s for sale for $250,000.

According to Fremont.com, the presence of the sculpture is supposed to illicit a wide range of responses as a piece of art.

Stephen Bannon said in his first public remarks since his ouster from White House role as chief strategist that he will be “going to war” for President Donald Trump, warning that he will continue to press the populist cause against the political and corporate establishment.

“If there’s any confusion out there, let 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,” Bannon said Friday in an interview with Bloomberg News hours after his departure was announced by the administration.
