    Armstrong you’d mentioned in your answer to I think Miss Spears question that there are other RTS operating in the US can you describe them list them sure thank you so you have RT you have Sputnik you have roughly and then I think you have them feeding other entities Infowars comes to mind where those are echo chambers for those those modalities so by saying I’m a Russian agent and Trump’s a Russian agent with no proof they could enact outside of regular judiciary law and jurisprudence in due process emergency powers that are legitimate if you’re facing a real foreign enemy – then sue us fund lawsuits fund fake news and shut us down so I’m proud of the enforce family I’m proud of our listeners I’m proud of our viewers I’m proud of my family I’m proud of this crew and I mean that on my knees to you you’re so amazing that we have literally faced the Pentagon the CIA and the criminals that have I ejected and for two years we have withstood total boycotts harassment lawsuits black ops things that I won’t even say on-air they’re so insane I mean this is beyond movies no one can make a movie about this we have a stood to billion dollars of attacks it hasn’t just been us that we’ve been the main target because if they can demonize pure Americana founding red-blooded 1776 on steroids if they can come after that and label that as an enemy they can do it to anybody but by the grace of God we have withstood and now thousands of layoffs they’ve announced thousands more coming next week all the corporate mainstream media laying off everywhere saying the funding ended and here it is in the two billion and the hundred sixty million that was just in the first tranche that’s the New York Times I’m showing you think about that that is just absolutely historical and incredible cuz you know I don’t think of myself as the catch of you know I’m just a loyal American and a free-market person that believes in Christianity and just believes in America and III I went to college and all they did was badmouth the country and tell me how bad mothers and fathers were and how bad George Washington was and I just said man towards Washington ain’t perfect but he had announced a tongue your hand off Hitler I’m sick of your crap I’m gonna fight you and the fact that we’re just a little organization and that we’ve come so far against these people gives me a lot of hope I guess in these dark hours for us personally I don’t take that as weakness this is incredible strength the fact that we’re this little ragtag band they’re so scared of us shows they can be beaten very easily and we stood up against two billion dollars of their lives and our listeners you stood with us against all their censorship and all their cowardice and despite that it’s like the star-spangled banner’ after that big barrage at night all the British ships attack at the fort flag was shot up I think I’ve seen that flag the Smithsonian all shot up tore up and it’s so much more beautiful and that’s what’s amazing about this is these people are weak they can’t even kick a little operation set up my Texan they can’t even beat that these people are ready to be defeated so god damn and I told him 100 times and I’ll tell them again it’s such a pleasure to fight these people and I don’t get tears in my eyes cuz I’m sad or I’m broke I get tears by us because I get so damn close to God every time I fight these bastards and that’s why I don’t know why more you don’t join us because if you joined against these evil sons of bitches you meet god my this is such a simple decision to make all the chalk on money all the EU money all those boy rape and child molesting goddamn demons in Hollywood can’t even beat a little Infowars but we were ready to stand up we were ready to fight and it’s that spirit they can’t stand and they think they’ve extinguished the spirit they’ve only turned it on ten thousand times those furnaces and those engines if you step up and ask God to make you a leader in this fight God’s ready to turn that energy loose but you’ve got to decide you want that and you’ve got to decide you’re willing to take these people on and you’re committed and that’s all you’ve got to do it’s actually pathetic that these globalists pieces of crap can’t even do anything with all our money and all our power and everything our ancestors did and they got us mesmerized watching their stupid television set and their Hollywood crap and made us forget who we were watching the infinite NFL and a bunch of jerk-offs but as humanity remembers who it was and as humanity comes up from the bottom these globalists are in a lot of trouble you know I look at people like Jack Dorsey or Twitter trying to act like a trendy in a man I look at Joe Rogan his whole life trying to act like a man all they are is establishment cooks men that roll over to other men that roll over to other men that roll over the devil and so I look at all this and I see the week their funding ends you know we tried to get Trump to kill this funding but he’s surrounded by traitors and it gets into spending it’s very complex to kill a bill that’s already funded I get that but the propaganda money ended this last week that’s what’s scary about that it’s also enduring is it imagine you get billions of dollars to go pay reporters a hundred thousand dollars a piece on average to sit around and talk crap about America and the flag and our veterans and everything and it’s just he makes you think god you’re not them and you look at the project Veritas videos internally at YouTube and Facebook and Twitter and they send in these sex operatives to interview them and they and they go who’s your enemy and it’s always some weird mental you lookin dude white black Hispanic doesn’t matter and they go they’re pro-life they’re pro-gun they like America they like Alex Jones they’re all a bunch of scum and you pull back and you just think thank God we’re not these people tribe bet on humanity I believe in you but beyond what happens in this dimension it’s the decisions we make now that decide where our energy where our soul like follows like where we go and so I look forward to being an eternity with all of you I know we have a spirit I know our energy never dies I am so blessed to be there with you but I love you and I have to focus on the evil try to stop it but I want to know unless you know I’m focusing on you right now and I see your spirit I see your soul I see you and I know how beautiful you are and these enemies are so mad they chose wrong they’re trying to take our children with them they’re trying because they can’t get adults they’ve already chosen God so their whole focus is getting kids little and hurting them and tricking them and getting them but they’re not going to get them they’re all damned to hell for their attempt so you think about that they’ve legalised lying to you and they’ve now done it and just everyday think yourself you’re not Hollywood every day thank god you’re not a traitor against your own speciation thank God that you’re awake and love God because that’s the most valuable thing in the universe is that you can judge good from evil the fact that you resonate with God and justice that’s that’s the victory that’s the value that’s everything not that you your car broke down or your clothes are old or whatever you’ve got cancer it doesn’t matter you love God you hate evil you love children you hate pedophiles you’re a vampire killer that’s who you are and you are gonna live with God for eternity the enemy is already defeated all it can do is try to clog you down into their spider hole and that’s why you’ve gotta bail out victorious and challenge the enemy I gotta say it I get mad at people like Joe Rogan because I knew he was evil all along and I just get mad to know that he’s completely lost in people like Jack Dorsey so we’re not mad at him for not including us at their banquet we’re not in their banquet because we don’t want to be in their banquet they’re talking about us if they’re little fetid bank one because they know they bought five seconds now where they can play the fact that they’re King and God on this planet because eternity goes on forever after that so you saw some pretty prestigious stuff here hiding in plain view I remember reading seven years ago what are they gonna do legalize and propaganda we know what’s going on but God why would you legalize it there’s that’s because they were gonna give your tax money to the media to say if you believe the country is good or you believe in free market you’re a racist they went and they bought the media with your tax money and that gives you a stake to say that’s wrong that makes you someone that has standing for lawsuits it’s beyond racketeering it’s the story of our lifetimes and it’s hiding right there in plain view just like China and Google and all of it it’s hiding right there so if you just simply take that in your own hands you take action on information you’ll change the world all right thanks for the crew thanks to everybody that’s here tonight we’re gonna send this out live obviously as we are once it’s archived

  • Australian government to recognize Jerusalem as Israels Capital

    Australian government to recognize Jerusalem as Israels Capital

    Australian government to recognise Jerusalem as Israels capital World news Scott Morrison, the prime minister, to say that embassy will leave Tel Aviv when city’s status is finalised Scott Morrison, the prime minister, to say that embassy will leave Tel Aviv when city’s status is finalised The Australian government will formally recognise West Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, but the embassy will not be moved from Tel Aviv until the city’s status is finalised under a peace settlement. The prime minister, Scott Morrison, will announce the foreign policy shift in a speech to the Sydney Institute on Saturday, The Australian reports. The government will also commit to recognising a future state of Palestine with its capital in East Jerusalem after a settlement has been reached on a two-state solution. While the embassy move is delayed, the government will establish a defence and trade office in Jerusalem and will start looking for an embassy site.

    “The Australian government has decided that Australia now recognizes West Jerusalem – as the seat of the Knesset and many of the institutions of government – is the capital of Israel,” Morrison will say in his speech, according to The Australian. “And we look forward to moving our embassy to West Jerusalem when practical, in support of, and after, final-status determination.” In May, when the US moved its embassy to Jerusalem, it sparked massive protests in Gaza which saw 58 Palestinians killed. Ever since Donald Trump’s declaration in December last year, Israel has been pushing hard to persuade other countries to follow.

    In October, Morrison said he was “open to” to the move, describing it as a “sensible” proposal. Morrison, an evangelical Christian, immediately faced questions about whether his religious views had played a part in his decision to float the proposal, something he denied. “My faith and religion has nothing to do with this decision,” he said. Instead, he argued the status quo in Israeli-Palestinian relations had failed to make headway. “The orthodoxy that’s driven this debate which says issues like considering the question of the capital are taboo. I think we have to challenge that,” he said.

  • Trump Hints at Border Wall Action Around State of the Union

    Trump Hints at Border Wall Action Around State of the Union

    Trump hints at border wall action around State of the Union Politics Asked if he expects to declare a national emergency on the wall funding issue, Trump told reporters: “I dont want to say it, but youll hear the State of the Union, and then youll see what happens right after the State of the Union.” ” W ere going to make a big step in the next week or so, prior to my doing anything, but actually having a national emergency does help the process,” he added later, speaking at a White House anti human trafficking event. Asked again if a national emergency should be expected, the President said: “I think theres a good chance that well have to do that. But we will at the same time be building, regardless, were building a wall. And were building a lot of wall. But I can do it a lot faster the other way.” “Well, Im saying listen closely to the State of the Union. I think youll find it very exciting,” Trump said. Trump had made similar comments in published Thursday. “Ill continue to build the wall and well get the wall finished,” he told the Times.

    “Now whether or not I declare a national emergency that youll see.” The State of the Union date, February 5, precedes a three week government deadline of February 15 to reach a deal on border security to avoid another government shutdown. And the Presidents confidence in the bipartisan group of congressional negotiators working to reach a long term agreement on border security has continued to wane. Trump also claimed that Democrats are “not being honest” in their conference negotiations because of the forthcoming 2020 election, an idea he has previously floated without evidence. “I know the Republicans want to do something,” he said. Later Friday, a senior administration official told reporters as part of a background briefing that they had not been aware what the President would or wouldnt preview earlier in the day.

    “I didnt know what he was going to say today at the press availability today,” the official said. “I havent seen today, actually, the comments that he made, but theres not a problem with addressing the speech.” The official explained the themes of the State of the Union speech in broad strokes. The official said the theme of the speech is “choosing greatness” and outlined some main areas of focus: the economy, immigration, trade deals including the US Mexico Canada Agreement and the US Reciprocal Trade Agreement Act and the deal with China infrastructure, lowering the cost of health care and prescription drugs, and national security.

    This is yet another extraordinary moment the nation’s top intelligence officials publicly disagreeing with President Trump on key foreign policy and national security issues everything from North Korea to Russia and it comes in a critical moment with a major summit on the horizon with just weeks before president Trump is poised to have his second nuclear summit with North Korean leader Kim jong-un u.s. intelligence chiefs giving this stunning public rebuke sharply disagreeing with the president’s recent declaration that North Korea is no longer a nuclear threat we currently assess that North Korea will seek to retain its WMD capabilities and is unlikely to completely give up its nuclear weapons and production capabilities the regime is committed to developing a long-range nuclear or missile that would pose a direct threat to the United States and Don Isis just a month after mr.

    Trump declared victory we have won against Isis intelligence officials contradicting the president saying the terror group is weakened but not defeated well Isis is nearing territorial defeat in Iraq and Syria the group has returned to its guerrilla warfare roots while continuing to plot attacks and direct its supporters worldwide and already the president pushing back this morning tweeting when I became president Isis was out of control in Syria and running rampant since then tremendous progress made especially over last five weeks on Iran US intelligence agencies say Tehran is still not restarting its nuclear program despite the u.s.

    Withdraw from the nuclear deal accusing the country of violating the agreement at the moment technically they’re in compliance and a striking difference over one of the biggest issues looming over the white house Russia we expect Russia will continue to wage its information war against democracies and to use social media to attempt to divide our societies president the president again this morning tweeting about North Korea Kristen what’s the headline there well how did the president is shifting his tone on North Korea this morning after his previous declaration that the country no longer poses a nuclear threat today tweeting decent chance of denuclearization time will tell what will happen with North Korea I look forward to seeing Kim jong-un shortly look this is a much more measured tone from the president and the softer language likely aimed at lowering expectations as he prepares to meet with the North Korean leader for a second time sometime next month you

  • How Playing an Instrument Benefits Your Brain

    How Playing an Instrument Benefits Your Brain

    Did you know that every time musicians pick up their instruments, there are fireworks going off all over their brain? On the outside, they may look calm and focused, reading the music and making the precise and practiced movements required. But inside their brains, there’s a party going on. How do we know this? Well, in the last few decades, neuroscientists have made enormous breakthroughs in understanding how our brains work by monitoring them in real time with instruments like fMRI and PET scanners. When people are hooked up to these machines, tasks, such as reading or doing math problems, each have corresponding areas of the brain where activity can be observed. But when researchers got the participants to listen to music, they saw fireworks. Multiple areas of their brains were lighting up at once, as they processed the sound, took it apart to understand elements like melody and rhythm, and then put it all back together into unified musical experience. And our brains do all this work in the split second between when we first hear the music and when our foot starts to tap along. But when scientists turned from observing the brains of music listeners to those of musicians, the little backyard fireworks became a jubilee.

    It turns out that while listening to music engages the brain in some pretty interesting activities, playing music is the brain’s equivalent of a full-body workout.  But what is it about making music that sets the brain alight?. Playing a musical instrument engages practically every area of the brain at once, especially the visual, auditory, and motor cortices. As with any other workout, disciplined, structured practice in playing music strengthens those brain functions, allowing us to apply that strength to other activities. The most obvious difference between listening to music and playing it is that the latter requires fine motor skills, which are controlled in both hemispheres of the brain.

    It also combines the linguistic and mathematical precision, in which the left hemisphere is more involved, with the novel and creative content that the right excels in. For these reasons, playing music has been found to increase the volume and activity in the brain’s corpus callosum, the bridge between the two hemispheres, allowing messages to get across the brain faster and through more diverse routes. This may allow musicians to solve problems more effectively and creatively, in both academic and social settings. Because making music also involves crafting and understanding its emotional content and message, musicians often have higher levels of executive function, a category of interlinked tasks that includes planning, strategizing, and attention to detail and requires simultaneous analysis of both cognitive and emotional aspects.

    How do we know that all these benefits are unique to music, as opposed to, say, sports or painting? Or could it be that people who go into music were already smarter to begin with? Neuroscientists have explored these issues, but so far, they have found that the artistic and aesthetic aspects of learning to play a musical instrument are different from any other activity studied, including other arts. And several randomized studies of participants, who showed the same levels of cognitive function and neural processing at the start, found that those who were exposed to a period of music learning showed enhancement in multiple brain areas, compared to the others. This recent research about the mental benefits of playing music has advanced our understanding of mental function, revealing the inner rhythms and complex interplay that make up the amazing orchestra of our brain.
