BERTRAND DAILY REPORT 03/20/2017 INTELLIGENCE BRIEF

Bertrand Daily Report  
The War For Our Mind & Soul Continues

Subject: Your Morning Intelligence Brief (March 20th, 2017)

March 20th, 2017

Ed Note: The trend for this week as seen in the multiple news reports around the world are three items: (1) FBI Comey testifies today (2) N. Korea makes a strong threat against U.S. and (3) New found evidence that exposes the NSA's surveillance of Trump.

As you know...May 1st will unleash the cockroaches of Communism as a day of protest and strikes around the world, and in America....the unions and fast food servers, etc are expected to show their faces in support of Communism.

Watch how the Jane Fonda types go ballistic when President Trump speaks this week about potential action of potential  "preemptive strike" options on North Korea. Secretary of State Tillerson returns this week from his discussions with China and South Korea with a new understanding with China's President Xi.

Both China and the U.S. agree to re-enforce U.N. sanctions on N. Korea, but China worries an influx of N. Korean refugees will result if harsh sanctions further impoverish that nation. The Trump Administration will obviously not hold-back as other administrations have when the Munchkin-Un flaps his wings and launches missiles towards Japan.---Dave Bertrand  (#DaveBertrand@bertranddave1)

Seoul alienated from talks over N. Korea

By Yi Whan-woo

South Korea is unlikely to be given a say in upcoming talks between the United States and China over North Korea because it has little leverage over the North, analysts said Monday.

Their analysis reflects pessimism that Seoul has no choice but to wait for a possible big deal between the U.S. and China in handling the North's nuclear brinkmanship.

Seoul has virtually used up all its cards on Pyongyang by shutting down the Gaeseong Industrial Complex in 2016 and cutting all inter-Korean dialogue channels in line with U.S.-led sanctions against the Kim Jong-un regime for its nuclear and missile programs.

EU Taxpayers Brace As Deepening Banking Crisis Means Euro-TARP Looms

If the ECB scales back stimulus, banks face even greater risk of collapse. But now there’s a new solution Events are moving so fast in Europe these days, it’s almost impossible to keep up. While much of the attention is being hogged by political developments, including the election in the Netherlands, Reuters published a report warning that the European banking sector may face even higher bad loan risks if the ECB begins to scale back its monetary stimulus programs, something it has already begun, albeit extremely tentatively.

Politics and Economics, not Religion, Spawned Radical Islam

The phenomena of Islamic radicalism all over the world is directly linked to Wahhabi-Salafi madrassahs (religious seminaries) that are generously funded by Saudi and Persian Gulf’s petro-dollars. These madrassahs attract children from the most impoverished backgrounds in the Third World Islamic countries, because they offer the kind of incentives and facilities which even the government sponsored public schools cannot provide: such as, free boarding and lodging, no tuition fee at all and free of cost books and stationery; some generously funded madrassahs even pay monthly stipends to students.

Confirmed: FISA’s Section 702 Permits “Warrantless” Spying on Americans’ Communications

Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) has come under scrutiny as it is set to expire this year on Dec. 31. The deadline of the contentious section which came into law in 2008 and was renewed in 2012, has impelled lawmakers to review its necessity. Section 702 of the FISA arguably allows the NSA and other agencies to exploit loopholes to intercept Americans’ communications while collecting information on foreign targets. Depending on who you speak with, this is an infringement on Americans’ privacy under the Fourth Amendment, or it’s vital to national security.

Erdogan: "Europeans Would Revive The Gas Chambers If They Weren't Ashamed"

Six months ago, it was virtually assured that as part of his daily out at the West, Philippines' president Duterte would accuse then-president Obama of being a "son of a bitch (or whore)." Now, a similar dynamic is playing out between Turkish president Erdogan and Angela Merkel, and/or the German (and Dutch) people, whom he now accuses on an almost daily basis of being Nazis, as a result of the escalating diplomatic spat between Turkey and Europe. And while some have grown accustomed to Erdogan's daily verbal diarrhea, today the Turkish president took it to the next level: while on Sunday Erdogan once again compared Europe with the Nazis, and accused Angela Merkel of engaging “Nazi practices", he escalated dramatically when he said that Europeans “would revive gas chambers” if they weren't ashamed."
