1…………> The Trash Fighter: Pacific Patch
  World-class swimmer Ben Lecomte will swim 30 miles per day for 180 days through the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, fighting Sharks, freezing water, jellyfish, and exhaustion are just a few of the obstacles as he begins his attempt to swim nearly than 5,000 miles across the Pacific Ocean, shepherded by crew onboard the 67-foot yacht called Discoverer that will be collecting ocean samples during the 180-day journey.

They will study ocean plastics and radioactivity from the Fukushima disaster

The swim will take him from Choshi in Japan to San Francisco via the Great Pacific Garbage Patch — a huge area where plastic and other marine debris is accumulating in the North Pacific Ocean.

Mr Lecomte, who swam almost 6,000km across the Atlantic Ocean in 1998, said he hopes his swim will bring attention to the growing problem of ocean pollution.

“I’ve been swimming for a long time and the change just in the last 30 years is troubling, that you can see so much degradation,” he said.

“Now I am a father, so I’m thinking about my kids and how [the future] is going to be for them.”

  2…………> Cancer Worst Enemy: Patient’s DNA
  Florida’s Judy Perkins had ball-sized breast cancer tumors in her liver, numerous lumps spread throughout her body, was given three months to live, but two years later there is no sign of cancer in her body. What’s the miracle?

The team at the US National Cancer Institute says the custom-designed therapy is still experimental but could transform the treatment of all cancer, and Dr. Steven Rosenberg, chief of surgery at the National Cancer Institute, declared: “We’re talking about the most highly personalized treatment imaginable.”

A patient’s tumor is analyzed to identify the rare changes that might make cancer visible to the immune system, with 62 genetic abnormalities in this patient, only four were potential candidates to genetically attack the mutated cells spreading cancer.

Next researchers use patient’s immune system white blood cells and extract those capable of attacking cancer, then grow them in the laboratory, in case of Judy around 90 billion were injected back into her, alongside drugs to take the brakes off the immune system.

Dr. Rosenberg said: “The very mutations that caused cancer turn out to be its Achilles heel.”

  3…………> An Early Van Gogh: A Reality Classic
  Vincent Van Gogh painted ‘Fishing net menders in the dunes’ when he was 29 years old, observing folks in the countryside around The Hague by the North Sea, in his native Holland, before he moved to France.

It comes from his realist period when he focused on poverty, often taking peasants or young people as his subjects to paint.

“You find already all the characteristics of Vincent’s painting,” Artcurial’s Bruno Jaubert noted. “Notably the treatment of the countryside, leaving the principal place to the land, and the well-worked skies.”

The painting has been on display in The Hague for decades.

A buyer based in North America paid 8.27 million for the 1882 painting “Fishing Net Menders in the Dunes” (Raccommodeuses de filets dans les dunes), which will be shown in Brussels and New York, auction house Artcurial said late on Monday.

Estimated at between €3 and €5 million, despite his later works reaching more than €70 million, it nevertheless reached way above its reserve.

According to Artcurial, the sale was “a world record for a landscape of Van Gogh in his Dutch period, sold at auction.”

  4…………> On War Path: EU Navies
  The French and British navies are to follow the footsteps of the US Navy with their own wayfinding mission through the disputed South China Sea, specifically, into areas London and Paris argue are illegally claimed by Beijing.

A seaborne armada comprising of French and British ships and naval aircraft will make its way through the South China Sea next week, French Minister of the Armed Forces Florence Parley said. The force will go “into certain areas” where the world’s fastest-growing navy — the People’s Liberation Army-Navy — is expected to be present.

 

“At some point, a stern voice intrudes into the transponder and tells us to sail away from supposedly ‘territorial waters.’ But our commander then calmly replies he will sail forth, because these, under international law, are indeed international waters,” Parley said.

Gold down to 1295.6 and USD/CHF at 1.01 despite President Trump setting tariffs on Chinese products. Translation? As the dollar goes down, we have to wait and see if the new Fed Chair Jerome Powell will continue pressuring gold and the Eurasian block with it down below $1000/oz in an economic WW3. Watch cover short at 24,450.

 

 

We have to wait and see if new Fed chair Powell will attempt to destroy Eurasian block by sending gold prices below 1000, despite the fact both Russia and China have been buying their whole gold production in local gold backed currency instead of money printing machines. In other words, US has lost controls of the precious metals complex, and with Trump’s infrastructure and tax cut campaign the National debt will soon be at, or over 30 trillion dollars, since D.C. swamp alligators have no intention dropping their pet projects. Read “Ziban Must Die” for more details on the coming collision of Trump’s administration with “Deep State” operators funded by the billionaires’ supporters of the New World.

1…………> Down With Gov. Jerry Brown: Carlsbad

Carlsbad’s City Council plunged into the national “sanctuary state” issue by voting 4-1 to back the federal government’s lawsuit against California, joining three cities, National City, Chula Vista, and San Diego to support the federal law.


It was also agreed that the city should file a legal brief “when appropriate” in support of the federal action against the state’s Senate Bill 54, which prohibits local law enforcement officials from investigating arrestees’ immigration status or reporting that status to federal authorities.

“The weighing in on this is purely political, and it’s divisive,” said Councilwoman Cori Schumacher, who voted against the motion.

“Our laws are becoming more difficult to enforce. It takes many agencies working together to keep us safe,”  said Mayor Matt Hall, while Glenn Bernard, a urged the city to support the federal government, and compared sanctuary cities to the South in the Civil War.

“I cannot see the difference between a sanctuary state and a secessionist state,” Bernard said.

2…………> Get On It Or Else: Trump To DOJ



Under pressure from President Donald Trump, the Justice Department and FBI have agreed to investigate “any irregularities” in the FBI’s tactics involving the Trump campaign, suggesting that if it has planted an undercover informant in his 2016 campaign, a bubbling scandal “[If so, this is] bigger than Watergate!”


The President also said that he would formally demand the Justice Department probe the matter and determine whether “if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration”, as Representative Devin Nunes, a key Trump ally, has sought information on the alleged FBI informant, suggesting there may have been more than one person feeding information to the FBI.


“Deep State” exponent Senator Dianne Feinstein disagreed: 


“The Justice Department is not an arm of the White House, it is independent and serves the American people. Its job is to follow the facts and the law. Law enforcement investigations must be initiated and carried out free from political interference.”

3…………> Israel’s New Hound Dog: F35



The US-made F-35 stealth fighter has seen its first ever combat action, flying in an operation for the Israeli air force.

Israel’s air force chief showed an image of F-35 jets, code-named in Hebrew “Adir”(Mighty), flying over Beirut, Lebanon, and said the planes had “already attacked twice on two different fronts”, a confirmation to acquire the single-seat fighter, it has received nine of the 50 F-35s, and it has so far ordered up to 75.

The plane has been heavily criticized over its price of nearly $200 million dollars,
lack of maneuverability and cockpit visibility issues.

4…………> Counterfeit Ring: Busted

 

Laredo, Texas ICE agents seized nearly 79,000 counterfeit items that included apparel and consumer electronics from luxury and sporting trademark designers such as Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Adidas, Nike, Apple, Samsung, and Sony, worth more than $16 million.

“Trafficking counterfeit goods pose a triple threat,” said Tim Tubbs, deputy special agent in charge of HSI Laredo. “Counterfeit merchandise wreaks havoc on local economies, threatens the health and safety of the American public, and funds criminal organizations engaged in other illegal activities.”

According to HSI, the trademark-infringed merchandise seized was shipped in large boxes from China to an international cargo terminal located in Laredo, Texas. The boxes were manifested to fictitious Laredo recipients and addresses.

5…………> Hate Crime: Kansas

Adam W. Purinton, of Olathe, Kansas, pleaded guilty in federal court to hate crime and firearm charges for shooting Indian nationals Srinivas Kuchibhotla and Alok Madasani and Kansas resident Ian Grillot at Austins Bar & Grill in Olathe February 2017, admitting crimes for which he pleaded guilty.

“Hate crimes are acts of evil, and the Department of Justice has prioritized their zealous prosecution,” said Acting Associate Attorney General Jesse Panuccio. “In this case, the defendant embarked on a murderous rampage with clear premeditation to kill on the basis of race, color, religion, and national origin. It was a hate crime, and he is being brought to justice. While we cannot ameliorate the irreparable harm to the victims and their families, we hope that securing this guilty plea brings them some measure of closure. And this prosecution sends a message across the nation: hate crimes will not be tolerated.”
