US Vice President Mike Pence, who is also chairman of the National Space Council, introduced the 18 astronauts at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The astronauts, half of whom are women, will soon commence training for the Artemis moon-landing program. 美國國家航空暨太空總署十二月十日公布「阿提米絲」登月計畫的十八名太空人名單。兼任國家太空委員會主席的美國副總統麥克·彭斯在佛羅里達州甘迺迪太空中心介紹十八名太空人，當中半數為女性。他們將為「阿提米絲」計畫展開訓練。 One of them is 47-year-old male astronaut Kjell Lindgren, who was born in Taipei on Jan. 23, 1973 to a Taiwanese mother and a Swedish father. He emigrated with his family to the Midwestern US but spent most of his childhood in the UK. After graduating from senior high school, he was admitted to the US Air Force Academy, where he majored in biology with a minor in Chinese and received a bachelor of science degree in 1995. He gained a master of science degree from Colorado State University in 1996 and a doctorate of medicine from the University of Colorado in 2002. In 2007 he received a master of public health from the University of Texas Medical Branch, where he completed his residency in aerospace medicine the following year. 其中一名四十七歲的男性太空人林其兒，於一九七三年一月二十三日出生於台北市，其母親為台灣人、父親為瑞典人，隨家人遷居美國中西部，大部分的童年時光則在英國度過。他高中畢業後考進美國空軍學院，主修生物、副修中文，一九九五年取得學士學位。一九九六年取得科羅拉多州立大學碩士學位，二○○二年又獲得科羅拉多大學醫學士學位。二○○七年取得德州大學醫學分部公共衛生碩士學位，翌年完成太空醫學住院醫師訓練。 Lindgren was chosen to be a NASA astronaut in 2009 and served as a flight surgeon for the STS-130 space shuttle mission. He joined the Expedition 44/45 mission on July 22, 2015 and stayed on the International Space Station for 141 days before returning to Earth on Dec. 11 of the same year. He is the first astronaut to have been born in Taiwan. 林其兒在二○○九年入選為太空總署太空人，曾任「STS-130」太空梭任務航空軍醫；二○一五年七月二十二日，參與遠征「44/45」任務，在國際太空站待了一百四十一天，同年十二月十一日回到地球，是史上首位在台灣出生的太空人。 Two other NASA astronauts with connections to Taiwan are Taylor Wang and Leroy Chiao. 與台灣相關的太空總署太空人還有王贛駿與焦立中。 Wang was born in Jiangxi Province, China in 1940. In 1952 he moved with his parents to Taiwan, where he attended the Refresher Substitute Elementary School (today's Jhong-Jheng Elementary School), followed by senior high school studies at the Affiliated Senior High School of National Taiwan Normal University in Taipei, after which he moved to Hong Kong. He completed a seven-day space flight on the Challenger space shuttle from April 29 to May 6, 1985. 王贛駿一九四○年出生於中國江西省，一九五二年隨父母到台灣，在高雄讀進修代用國小（今中正國小），高中就讀於台北師大附中，後移居香港。他一九八五年四月二十九日至五月六日乘坐挑戰者號太空梭進行了為期七天的太空飛行。 Chiao is a Chinese American engineer and former astronaut. While working for NASA, he lived on board the International Space Station for six months. His father, Chiao Tsu-tao, was born in Shandong Province, China and graduated from the Affiliated Senior High School of National Taiwan Normal University and Cheng Kung University's Department of Chemical Engineering. His mother, Cherry Chiao, was born in Qingdao City in Shandong. They married in Taiwan and moved to the US in the 1950s, and Leroy was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 焦立中為美籍華裔工程師、前太空人，於太空總署服役期間曾駐守國際太空站六個月，他的父親焦祖韜博士出生在中國山東省，畢業於台灣師大附中、成功大學化工系；其母朱青筠博士出生於山東青島市，兩人在台灣結婚，一九五○年代移居美國，在美國威斯康辛州密爾沃基市生下焦立中。 Source article: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang/archives/2020/12/29/2003749543 每日英語跟讀Podcast，就在http://www.15mins.today/daily-shadowing 每週Vocab精選詞彙Podcast，就在https://www.15mins.today/vocab 每週In-TENSE文法練習Podcast，就在https://www.15mins.today/in-tense     用email訂閱就可以收到通勤學英語節目更新通知。

US Vice President Mike Pence and Democratic challenger Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) had their debate on Wednesday night. The focus of the event was the leadership of US President Donald Trump, or lack thereof, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the policy plans of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. How did it go for the combatants?Trump, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Mnuchin and the others involved have picked the worst time for an impasse on economic stimulus negotiations. "Job growth is slowing, businesses are closing and cooler weather is driving people inside where the virus flourishes," the Washington Post reported Thursday. What are we to make of this?"Former CIA Director John Brennan briefed former President Obama on Hillary Clinton's 'plan' to tie the Trump campaign to Russia as a means of distracting the public from her private email server scandal before the 2016 election, according to newly declassified documents," National Review reported Tuesday. "Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe on Tuesday declassified Brennan's handwritten notes along with a CIA memo showing that officials referred the alleged scheme to the FBI for potential investigation." We discussed this story earlier in the week. What has the Democratic Party been hiding?"Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe on Wednesday said he had approved the release of almost 1,000 pages of materials to the Justice Department as part of an investigation of the FBI's probe of Russian election interference in 2016," the Washington Post reported Wednesday. What will be revealed?"Amid findings that the combined wealth of the planet's billionaires skyrocketed to $10.2 trillion during the coronavirus pandemic, the World Bank warned Wednesday that the public health crisis could cause global extreme poverty to rise for the first time in over two decades and push tens of millions of people into that category by next year," Common Dreams reported Wednesday. What are we to make of this?With the US just 26 days away from a national election in which each party being able to differentiate itself from its opposition is key, in the midst of a pandemic when the necessary aid can't be provided to people in need, Democrats are reportedly facing an intra-party battle over defense spending. What does all of this mean?"Last week, a bill was introduced in the House that could give the president sweeping powers to sanction areas deemed under the 'control' of Hezbollah in Lebanon and Latin America," Antiwar.com reported Wednesday. "The bill was introduced by Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) and currently has 12 Republican cosponsors." What are we to make of this?"US President Donald Trump, appearing at the White House for the first time since he returned from hospital on Monday night, vowed to 'make China pay' for damage caused by the coronavirus pandemic and called his infection 'a blessing from God,'" the South China Morning Post reported Wednesday. What does this really mean going forward?Guests:Dr. Emmitt Riley - Political scientist and assistant professor of Africana studies at DePauw UniversityTeresa Lundy - Government affairs and public relations specialist and principal of TML CommunicationsDr. Jack Rasmus - Professor in the Economics and Political Science Departments at St. Mary's College of California.Alexander Mercouris - Editor-in-chief of The Duran Ray McGovern - Former CIA analyst and co-founder Veteran Intelligence Professionals for PeaceMargaret Flowers - Pediatrician, health reform activist and co-director at Popular ResistanceMargaret Kimberley - Editor and senior columnist at Black Agenda Report and author of "Prejudential: Black America and the Presidents"Laith Marouf - Broadcaster and journalist based in Beirut, Lebanon

Azerbaijan's foreign minister to meet international mediators over Karabakh conflict and two women scientists win Nobel chemistry prize. *) Azerbaijan top diplomat to meet international mediators The recent military conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over occupied Karabakh has entered its second week. Azerbaijan’s Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov will meet the leaders of OSCE’s Minsk Group in Geneva to discuss the issue. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin ruled out intervention in the conflict as it does not fall within the scope of Moscow's pact with Armenia. *) Kamala Harris and Mike Pence spar at vice presidential debate Democratic nominee Kamala Harris has made history by becoming the first Black women to stand on a vice presidential debate stage. US Vice President Mike Pence and Harris faced off in a strikingly less contentious debate than last week’s presidential square up. The two sparred on Covid-19, taxes, economy, the trade war with China and climate change. Election Day is less than four weeks away and millions of Americans are already casting ballots. *) Greek court rules Golden Dawn operating as criminal organisation A Greek court has found neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party guilty of operating as a criminal organisation. The court’s landmark ruling said seven of the party’s former lawmakers, including party leader Nikos Michaloliakos, are guilty of leading a criminal organisation. Police used tear gas and a water cannon as clashes broke outside the courthouse in Athens at an anti-fascist rally after the ruling. *) Russia puts Belarus opposition leader on its wanted list Russia has placed Belarus opposition leader Svetlana Tikhanovskaya on its wanted list. Tikhanovskaya faces charges in Belarus over allegedly making public calls to harm the country’s security, according to Russian news agency RIA. The 38-year-old took refuge in Lithuania following her claim to have beaten long-running leader Alexander Lukashenko in the August election. And finally... *) Two women win Nobel chemistry prize for gene-editing tool Emmanuelle Charpentier of France and Jennifer Doudna of the US have won the Nobel chemistry prize for their work on CRISPR, a gene-editing technique. The two researchers can change the DNA of animals, plants and microorganisms with extremely high precision using the tool. Charpentier and Doudna are the first all-women team and the sixth and seventh women to receive the Nobel prize in chemistry.

Mark Lawrence and Joe McGranaghan have a vibrant discussion about the winners and losers, lies and misstatements, and dodged questions from the previous night’s Vice Presidential debate.  A wide range of calls, texts and emails were part of this discussion, plus we played several excerpts of the debate.

US Vice-President Mike Pence with members of the SWAT team of Broward County, Florida,

On this episode of The Critical Hour, Dr. Wilmer Leon is joined by Dr. Margaret Flowers, physician and co-editor of Popular Resistance. Back on April 23, US Vice President Mike Pence told us, “If you look at the trends today, I think by Memorial Day Weekend we will largely have this coronavirus epidemic behind us.” Well Mr. VP, I'm not too sure about that. "As the number of new coronavirus cases continues to increase worldwide, and more than a dozen states and Puerto Rico are recording their highest averages of new cases since the pandemic began, hospitalizations in at least nine states have been on the rise since Memorial Day," the Washington Post reported Tuesday. What does this tell us about where we are in terms of reopening, and where are we headed?It's happening again, right before our eyes. "Photos of would-be Georgia voters standing — and, in some cases, sitting — in long lines after 11 p.m. to cast their ballots in the state's primary on Tuesday encapsulated what rights groups and lawmakers decried as a disastrous day for democracy and an entirely predictable result of years of deliberate voter suppression efforts by Republican lawmakers and the US Supreme Court," Common Dreams reported Wednesday. Here we go again. What are we to make of this?According to a Tuesday piece in The Grayzone by Ajit Singh, "A leading Hong Kong 'pro-democracy' figure, Jimmy Lai, has denounced nationwide protests in the United States against police brutality and systemic racism, which were sparked by the police killing of African-American man, George Floyd. Lai's views reflect a significant segment of the city's protest movement, who affirm the exceptionalist myth of the US as a beacon of 'freedom and democracy.' Hong Kong's 'pro-democracy' activists have gone so far as to derail the efforts of an African-American woman who attempted to organize a Black Lives Matter demonstration in the city, accusing her of being an agent of the police and Communist Party of China." This is interesting to me, because on one hand we've seen tremendous international support for Floyd and the BLM movement, but there's always another side. What's going on here?In a recent MintPress News piece, Alan MacLeod opens with a story about an attack at a protest, writing: “A man in a black sedan car barrels towards a large Seattle demonstration protesting the killing of George Floyd. After he stops, he gets out and shoots a protestor at point blank range. The crowd scatters in terror. The man, still brandishing his weapon, casually walks through the mayhem towards the line of police, and is apprehended without incident. The police surround him, facing the crowd, shielding him from a non-existent threat, apparently totally unconcerned at turning their backs on an armed terrorist who just shot someone. Police did not take the hero who might have saved lives by accosting him to hospital: that was left to the fire department. After the incident, the police began shooting at the crowd who had just survived the terror attack.” These types of scenes are happening all over the country, and US media is not covering them to the degree that it should. So, Hillary Clinton has gone from talking about "superpredators" to supporting Black Lives Matter. How does that happen?GUESTS:Dr. Margaret Flowers - Physician and co-editor of Popular Resistance.Eugene Craig III - Republican strategist, former vice-chair of the Maryland Republican Party and grassroots activist.Netfa Freeman - Organizer in Pan-African Community Action (PACA) and on the Coordinating Committee of the Black Alliance for Peace.

US Vice President Mike Pence announced Tuesday that the Trump administration's Coronavirus Task Force would be winding down, with operations expected to conclude by June 1. However, US President Donald Trump contradicted him Wednesday on Twitter after The Critical Hour's recording, saying that the task force would "continue on indefinitely." The administration has framed the pandemic in the context of war. Is it possible to declare victory when the enemy continues to attack and take ground, or would that just be waving the white flag of surrender?On Tuesday, we discussed that the New York Board of Elections canceled the state's Democratic presidential primary last week, citing the risk of spreading coronavirus. A Wednesday Common Dreams headline read, "Victory for 'Basic Democracy' as Judge Orders New York to Reinstate Sanders, Yang, and Others to 2020 Primary Ballot." The article noted, "The ruling by Judge Analisa Torres of the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, which came in response to a lawsuit filed by Andrew Yang last week, means the New York Democratic presidential primary will take place on June 23 as previously scheduled, barring a successful appeal." The saga continues."The Supreme Court on Wednesday heard arguments in the Trump administration's attempt to allow more employers to refuse to provide insurance coverage for birth control for female employees because of religious or moral objections," the Washington Post reported Wednesday. One thing you can say about these so-called right-to-lifers: they are persistent if nothing else. Yes, there's a definite so-called right-to-life issue here, but is there also male patriarchy involved here as well: men thinking they can still tell women what to do with their bodies and the age-old adage that women are supposed to stay home barefoot and pregnant?A great piece ran Wednesday in CounterPunch, entitled "The Washington Post's Neocons are Beating Cold War Drums…Again," wherein Melvin Goodman writes, "The Washington Post has a reputation as liberal and even left-of-center, although its editorial pages are dominated by neoconservatives who support the idea of American exceptionalism and the extreme operational tempo of America's military. In the past week, we have been treated to a series of op-ed essays that are supportive of expanded American military power and a political, if not military, confrontation with China."GUESTS: Dr. Richard Lachmann — American sociologist and specialist in comparative historical sociology and professor at the State University of New York at Albany.

Turkey’s operation in northern Syria is on pause. The development comes after a closed-door meeting in Ankara between Turkish President Recep Erdogan and US Vice President Mike Pence. Turkey will allow the YPG withdraw from its border regions on the condition that the terrorist group abandon its weapons. In return, Washington says it will drop existing sanctions on Turkey. But will the deal hold? And can the YPG be trusted? Guests: Mehmet Celik Managing Editor at Daily Sabah newspaper Yahya Al Aridi Spokesman for the Syrian Negotiation Commission Hamdi Rifai Director of the Council of United Syrians and Americans #OperationPeaceSpring #YPG #Turkey #Syria #PKK

US Vice President Mike Pence announced Thursday that after hours of negotiations with Turkish officials, Turkey has agreed to suspend its incursion into northern Syria. Ankara will suspend military operations for 120 hours while Kurdish YPG forces withdraw from the proposed Turkish “safe zone” in the northeast. Pence said that after the Kurdish forces withdraw, Turkey will completely halt all operations.Congressman Elijah E. Cummings (D-MD), who gained national attention for his principled stands on politically charged issues in the House of Representatives, his calming effect on the anti-police uprising in Baltimore and his forceful opposition to the presidency of Donald Trump, died October 17 at a hospice center in Baltimore. He was 68. Congressman Cummings was principled, dedicated, focused and consistent.UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson's hopes of leading Britain out of the EU on October 31 are hanging in the balance Thursday, even after he secured a Brexit deal in Brussels. His deal still faces the threat that it could be killed in the House of Commons within 48 hours. The Democratic Unionist Party said it would oppose the deal, as relations between the Northern Ireland party and Johnson remain fractious. This falls into the category of when is a deal not a deal?General Motors negotiators and the United Auto Workers (UAW) union have reached a tentative deal to end a 31-day strike by nearly 50,000 workers. The proposed agreement needs the approval of both union leadership and the rank-and-file union members at GM before it can take effect.

US Vice President Mike Pence attempted Monday to assuage concerns from Poland about the US' commitment to protecting it from Russia, just days after US President Donald Trump caused a stir among allies by advocating Russia's readmission to the G7. Speaking in Warsaw, Pence said allies should "remain vigilant" about Moscow's alleged election meddling and try to become independent from Russian energy supplies. Is this more fear mongering from the White House?While the Pentagon has called for talks with Iran, Tehran has made clear that no diplomacy will occur until Trump gives up his "maximum pressure" approach. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif told reporters Thursday, "The United States is engaged in an economic war against the Iranian people. It won't be possible for us to engage with the US unless they stop imposing a war, engaging in economic terrorism." What does this mean?Last weekend, Hong Kong saw one of its most violent nights in the three months of pro-democracy rallies in response to a proposed extradition bill. Police deployed tear gas and two vehicles armed with water cannons, and one officer fired his sidearm in the air after thousands of protesters took to the streets in the neighborhood of Tsuen Wan on August 25, clashing with law enforcement. At least one petrol bomb was thrown by protesters, who gathered in spite of rainy weather. Are things getting worse in Hong Kong and for the city's chief executive, Carrie Lam?At least 16 people dead and more than 100 hurt after a Taliban suicide attack in the Afghan capital of Kabul. Monday's incident came just hours after the US said it had agreed in principle to withdraw around 5,000 troops from Afghanistan. What's going to happen now, and what's at stake? Does this give an indication of how unstable this whole process had been for the US? GUESTS: Mark Sleboda — International affairs and security analyst.

US Vice-President Mike Pence and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have gotten down to business.  Pence is in the capital for day-long meetings that will be dominated by the ratification of the new North American free trade agreement and the dispute with China. While speaking to the media, Pence assured Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Washington's support in a diplomatic dispute with China.   Guest: Amanda Connolly Global News political reporter

As protests continued at the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington, DC, fire marshals attempted to enter the building and remove the activists occupying the space. Meanwhile, US Vice President Mike Pence claims volatility in Venezuela is threatening the peace and security of the Western Hemisphere. During a speech at the State Department Tuesday, Pence said the struggle within Venezuela is a battle between dictatorship and democracy. He argued that embattled Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro must go and said the US will continue to stand with the people of Venezuela. The US recognizes opposition leader Juan Guaido as the legitimate leader of the South American nation. The US has deployed the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, its strike group and bombers to the Middle East ahead of schedule to send a "clear and unmistakable message" to Iran. National Security Adviser John Bolton said the administration was acting "in response to a number of troubling and escalatory indications and warnings." Where did this so-called intelligence come from, and what does this mean?According to Ramin Mazaheri, chief correspondent in Paris for Press TV, "The French government has been forced to shamefully admit that they made totally false accusations that May Day Yellow Vest anti-government protesters tried to break into the Pitié Salpêtrière Hospital in order to 'attack,' 'assault' and 'steal.' Countless mainstream media are just as covered in ignominy for having repeated these untrue claims. I was right there when it happened, covering it for PressTV, so I witnessed exactly what transpired. In fact, I even gave a live interview at the exact time of the incident, just after 4 p.m. I don't have a copy of that for now, but I hope to get one soon." So what happened and why? General elections will be held in South Africa on May 8 to elect a new National Assembly and provincial legislatures in each province. They will be the sixth elections held since the end of apartheid in 1994 and will determine who will become the nation's next president. As South Africa prepares to head to the polls in the crucial general election on Wednesday, President Cyril Ramaphosa faces a stern challenge to restore waning faith in the African National Congress party, after more than a decade of rampant corruption and misrule.

On Saturday, Venezuela's National Guard fired tear gas on residents at a bridge between Venezuela and Colombia, as the opposition party began its high-risk plan to deliver humanitarian aid to the region, despite objections from embattled President Nicolas Maduro. What does this mean for the escalating circumstances in the region? While speaking at the annual meeting of leaders of the Lima Group, a coalition of more than a dozen nations mostly from Latin America, US Vice President Mike Pence announced that effective Monday, the US would impose sanctions on regime officials, including three border-state governors implicated in last weekend's violence and a member of Maduro's inner circle. What's going on here?President Donald Trump announced Sunday that he would hold off on implementing planned tariff hikes on hundreds of goods imported from China, citing "substantial progress" in high-level trade talks between the two nations. The president also tweeted that he would hold a summit meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida to finalize an agreement, "assuming both sides make additional progress." "A very good weekend for the US & China!" Trump wrote at the conclusion of the two-part Twitter message. What does this really mean? The violence during Nigeria's delayed presidential and legislative polls has claimed at least 27 lives and injured several others, an NGO closely following the election said. On Sunday, the Election Network group said the outbreak of violence was "worrying," and the authorities had been warned about the risk, as another civil society group said the death toll could be as high as 35.

Ardern met Donald Trump at APEC in passing last year, but they did not have any formal meetings.ZB political editor Barry Soper told Andrew Dickens that Pence requested that Ardern be his dinner companion.Ardern says she doesn't plan on raising the CPTPP with Pence."I imagine that we will probably have a conversation about trade issues more generally. I will see where the conversation goes, but I will bring up steel and aluminium tariffs, it's in New Zealand's interests that I do."She says e a date at the White House isn't high on her agenda."That's not something that we're necessarily seeking. There is a strong relationship that will endure regardless of whether or not there are any explicit visits."Soper says that Ardern has a busy schedule."She'll be meeting with the Premier of China, and she'll also be meeting with [Australian Prime Minister] Scott Morrison from the first time ever."President Donald Trump isn't attending this year's summit.LISTEN TO BARRY SOPER TALK WITH ANDREW DICKENS ABOVE

  The eyes of the world are turning towards Papua New Guinea as it prepares to host the APEC Economic Leaders' Week, the biggest ever international event on its soil.  Starting on November 12, the week-long event is the culmination of PNG's 2018 chairmanship of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum.   As Port Moresby buzzes with activity ahead of the arrival of political heavyweights such as Chinese President Xi Jingping, Russian President Vladimir Putin and US Vice President Mike Pence, many international observers are asking what the event means for the Pacific nation host, and how can it capitalise on the international spotlight for long-term benefits.  With these questions in mind, Patrick Cooke, Oxford Business Group's Regional Editor for Asia, spoke with Tjeerd Ritmeester, OBG's Editorial Manager in PNG, to get a sense of how hosting preparations have changed the face of the capital, and whether the business community in PNG is ready to take advantage of the exposure and networking opportunities provided.  Another area of discussion is APEC 2018's theme of ‘Harnessing inclusive opportunities and embracing the digital future', and PNG's progress in digital transformation as it seeks to address severe development challenges. Taking into account the current international climate of protectionism, they also explore the implications of the US president's decision not to attend the summit, and the extent to which China is filling a regional leadership vacuum created by Trump's indifference.  Finally, our analysts look ahead to see how Papua New Guinea can ensure a meaningful and lasting legacy from its year-long chairmanship of this high-level, multilateral forum.  Read also: The Report: Papua New Guinea 2018

Now that Donald Trump showed his true colours as a Zionist (Khazarian mafia) sleeper agent, he is becoming increasingly isolated and is guilty of provable war crimes, Pentagon, CIA and other sources agree. â??Trump is toast,â?? was how a CIA source described the situation. Trump has been pushed by his Zionist handlers into trying to start World War 3 because these religious fanatics still think they are somehow going to start a war between â??Gogâ?? and â??Magog,â?? kill 90% of humanity and enslave the rest. To this end Trump ordered an attack on a Syrian airbase where Russian personnel were stationed. That is also why Trump tried to start a war with nuclear armed North Korea last week. The situation with North Korea was designed by the Zionists to provoke to ultra-macho antagonists, North Koreaâ??s Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump, into a situation where neither man could back down without losing face. The North Koreans said they had a right to test missiles etc. any time they want, especially on the 105th anniversary of the birth of their countryâ??s founding father Kim Il Sung. Trump said, â??if you do that we will attack.â?? So, a face saving solution was engineered with a missile that blew up immediately after launching. The North Koreans were able to claim they went ahead and did their test despite Trumpâ??s threats. The Zionists were able to hint they sabotaged the test with unspecified secret weapons. The important point being that Zionist attempts to start World War 3 failed yet again and will continue to fail. These provocations are just one sign there is something undeniably dysfunctional going on with the Trump presidency. A few weeks ago Trump was invoking President Andrew Jackson and hinting about nationalizing the Federal Reserve Board. Now he is saying FRB chief Janet Yellen can have another term in office. He also turned from provoking the Chinese and accusing them of being â??currency manipulatorsâ?? to brazenly sucking up to them and denying they manipulate their currency. These flip flops may be connected to the arrival of yet another bankruptcy deadline for the United States Corporate Government, in this case the expected Bankruptcy of the US Corporationâ??s Puerto Rico subsidiary on May 1st. Despite efforts to paint this as a municipal bond type problem, this could trigger a domino effect that finally takes down Zionist central in Washington D.C. https://www.yahoo.com/news/puerto-rico-seen-sliding-toward-bankruptcy-deadline-nears-070022952â??sector.html Sources close to the Japanese emperor say the arrival in Tokyo this week of P2 Freemason lodge and Vatican representive US Vice-President Mike Pence, as well as long term Rothschild agent and US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross was for the purpose of
