Naked protesters at Auschwitz, proof that President Trump was spied on and the Islamic
State changes direction.
It's Skywatch TV for Monday, March 27th, 2017.
I'm Derek Gilbert.
First up, Alex Jones apologized to Comet Ping Pong and its owner for his pizza gate coverage
on Friday.
Last week, the former gay lover of Comet Ping Pong's owner, James Aliphantus, David Brock
from Media Matters, suffered a heart attack.
Infowars.com had been put on Facebook's fake news list and Adroll was refusing to do business
with Infowars.com.
So again, Friday, Jones took to the airwaves to apologize to Aliphantus for his coverage
of the pizza gate scandal.
Now, those of us who are skeptical wondered if perhaps the loss of ad revenue had something
to do with it, but on Sunday, Alex Jones posted a new video explaining why he was distancing
himself from pizza gate.
On Friday, I issued a statement on Infowars.com, but also broadcast on my daily show basically
clarifying my position concerning what has become known as the pizza gate controversy
and apologizing to James Aliphantus of Comet Ping Pong Pizza in D.C.
Now, why did I do that?
Because I am preparing to go on the offense against real child traffickers and those abusing
children.
And because going back to December 1st of last year, I have told my crew at Infowars
that I believed this to be a manufactured controversy by MSM to discredit those researching
and exposing the epidemic across the world of powerful elites and others abusing and
exploiting children.
In three words, good for him.
Now, Alex Jones is getting a lot of flak from true believers in the pizza gate scandal,
claiming that he's sold out, he's a shill, he's disinfo.
There's even a very detailed analysis of his body language in the apology video to prove
that he's been MKUltra.
No, none of that is true.
What's happened in my opinion is that Jones has come to realize something that we talked
about on December 5th of 2016, Josh Peck and myself regarding the pizza gate scandal, which
is that there was no hard actionable evidence that a crime was being committed, that any
crimes had been committed at Comet Ping Pong in Washington, D.C.
This was, in our view, absent any evidence, going to serve no purpose at all except to
give the mainstream media, as Jones said, an opportunity to discredit any real investigation
into child trafficking, child pornography, or pedophile cases that involved real victims
and real evidence, and in fact, experts that we talked to agreed with us.
Now, it's not that we don't believe that pedophilia is a problem, or that elites around the world
are in fact using and abusing children for their own ends, we sincerely do.
That's why we recorded multiple interviews with Opal Singleton, MillionKids.org, which
were broadcast on Skywatch TV in 2015.
And it's why our partnership with Whispering Ponies Ranch is so important to us, working
with children in foster care who are far more likely to be abused by predators for prostitution,
for pornography, for child trafficking than kids coming from a loving home.
And why everything we do on Skywatch TV in terms of offering books and DVDs and audio
discs and things like that for sale is to raise money so that those services can be
offered to royal family kids and the kids that they care for at no cost to them.
In our view, the pizza gate scandal is becoming the 21st century version of the satanic panic
of the 1980s, in which actual cases with substantial evidence that children were being abused in
satanic rituals was discredited because of the hype given to the story by reporters like
Geraldo Rivera.
Even in cases where there was a substantial amount of evidence, like from about 10 years
ago, the Hosanna Church case in Chapatulis Parish, Louisiana.
That's the case that inspired the first season of the HBO television series, True Detective.
Pedophilia is real, child trafficking is real, child pornography is real.
What all the pizza gate has done is make prosecutors, investigators, law enforcement officials and
researchers into these actual cases look foolish, like fake news and other news.
Israel is expected to annex a large part of the ocean bordering on its territory and also
bordering on Lebanon.
Both countries now lay claim to an area of about 310 square miles.
Israel set to propose a new bill in the Knesset that would define its maritime economic border
with Lebanon and would put this disputed territory under Israeli sovereignty.
The Knesset bill comes after Lebanon recently disrupted the status quo through advertising
for tenders, advertising tenders rather to explore the oil and gas believed to be under
those waters.
Syria has threatened to fire scud missiles at Israel.
Officials say the Syrian leadership has sent messages through Russia to Israel, warning
that any future airstrikes inside Syrian territory would be met with scud missile attacks in
return.
Syria has reportedly warned Israel that attacks on Syrian military targets would be met with
scud missiles fired at Israel defense bases, while an attack on civilian targets would
be met with scud missiles launched at the port of Haifa and petrochemical plants in
that area.
A senior member of Hamas was shot and killed in the Gaza Strip Friday.
Hamas has blamed Israel for the killing and has threatened revenge.
Mazan Faka was shot four times in the head by a handgun with a silencer as he walked
near his home in southwestern Gaza.
Khalil Alhaya, the deputy chief in the Gaza Strip, said only Israel would have benefited
from Faka's death.
Thousands attended his funeral on Saturday, marked by calls of revenge.
Hamas attorney general Ismail Jaber spoke at the funeral and again blamed Israel for
the killing.
Kurdish and Arab fighters reportedly have been dropped by American helicopters west of
the Isis stronghold of Raqqa.
They quickly captured five villages there and have cut jihadist concentrations in northwestern
Syria from the Islamic State headquarters in Raqqa.
This operation apparently the opening shot in the U.S.-led campaign to liberate the Islamic
State's Syrian capital, YPG Kurdish militiamen, fighting alongside with Syrian tribesmen in
this battle.
This is a map of the current situation on the ground in Syria as of Monday morning.
The gray area controlled by the Islamic State, green areas by other rebel groups, government
control in red and pink there.
The liberation of Raqqa not expected to run into the same kind of resistance as the battle
for Mosul in Raqqa.
That's partly because the Isis leadership in Raqqa has realized that their days are
short.
Raqqa is kind of an isolated little bump on the northern part of that gray territory
behind me.
Isis leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and his strategists have changed direction in the course of this
battle.
Their forces have moved southeast to Deir ez-Zor, which is a battle we've been telling you about
over the last few weeks.
But according to reports from sources that claim to be connected to intelligence sources
in the Middle East, it appears that the jihadists instead of heading towards Deir ez-Zor have
been directed towards Lebanon.
Why Lebanon?
Because Lebanon is essentially governed by a weak, has a weak government, a weak military.
Lebanon chronically torn apart by sectarian fighting between Sunni, Shiite, Hezbollah,
forces, and Christian communities might give Isis an opportunity to gain a foothold there.
The second largest town in Lebanon, Tripoli, which is about 60 miles north of Beirut, thereabouts
is a strongly Sunni enclave and it is a port city, which would give Isis a facility it
really wants.
Another city on the coast, Sidon, the third-largest city in Lebanon, south of Beirut, also a coast
city with port facilities and relatively close to the Israeli border, in fact closer to any
Israeli city than Isis has previously been.
We'll see how things develop.
In an interview Thursday with Fox News, the House Intelligence Committee chairman, Devin
Nunez, stated that there is irrefutable proof that the Obama administration did in fact
spy on Trump personnel eavesdropping on their phone calls in the course of surveillance
on foreign targets.
Now, Foreign CIA officer Colonel Tony Schaefer told Fox News that this case is much worse
than Watergate by an order of magnitude.
Now, Watergate has sort of become the de facto standard, the label for any kind of scandal.
Watergate, Irangate, we should go back and rename Watergate, Watergate, Gate just because.
But Watergate was bugging Democratic Party headquarters just to try to gain some intelligence.
This is what President Nixon was accused of.
And he resigned.
This was actually wiretapping phone calls by specific personnel in the Trump campaign
and listening in on those calls.
Now, as we've told you, this basically happens to all of us every day.
The NSA is basically sucking in all electronic communications from the United States and
collating it and then going through it later when they want to find something.
Some intelligence experts say it's not really about national security, it's about trying
to find blackmail material on people in power because the guys in the NSA depend on guys
in Congress to fund their activities and so they want to make sure they know what the
guys in power are actually going to do.
Now according to Colonel Schaefer, while Trump was not physically wiretapped as in a wire
physically connected to his phone lines, the basic fundamental idea and claim that the
Trump campaign was wiretapped is true.
And according to Schaefer, clearly they were after gossip because the wiretapping had nothing
to do with an investigation into Russia and any connection the Trump campaign had with
the government in Russia.
Due to the simplicity, how easy it is to mask Americans' names picked up during the course
of these wiretaps, which is what the NSA is supposed to do.
The fact that the name of General Michael Flynn, President Trump's first nominee for
national security advisor, the fact that his name got out means that it was done accidentally
on purpose.
Again, this worse than Watergate by an order of magnitude.
Kind of a disturbing story from the UK.
Prince William's helicopter recently came within a half second of a potentially disastrous
midair collision with a remote controlled drone.
The prince wasn't on board, but he regularly flies the helicopter called Anglia-2, it's
a an air ambulance, medics on board at the time said the device was within feet, the
drone was within feet of the helicopter.
And at the speed the copter was moving another half second, one way or the other could have
led to a collision, which could have been catastrophic.
Aviation experts said the drone could have caused the helicopter to crash.
There were three medical staff, two pilots on board, and the copter was over a restaurant
at the time with dozens of people inside, could have been multiple casualties.
This occurred at about 1900 feet.
Prince William was back at the controls of the helicopter just a couple of days after
this incident.

Last Thursday, the Canadian House of Commons passed a motion to condemn Islamophobia, which
they defined as criticism of Islam.
The motion passed by a vote of 201 to 91.
However, Islamophobia was not defined in the motion, leaving a loophole big enough to drive
a truck through.
Now, this motion is non-binding.
It does not carry the force of law.
There's no enforcement mechanism, but it remains to be seen how non-binding the courts
in Canada decide this motion actually is.
Minister Justin Trudeau, ironically enough, calls himself a feminist, and he's been visiting
a lot of mosques since taking office, including one recently where women weren't allowed on
the main floor alongside men.
They had to go sit upstairs in the balcony and be by themselves separate but equal facilities,
you know.
Trudeau said, diversity is a source of strength, not a source of weakness.
And as I look at this beautiful room, sisters upstairs, everyone here, I see the diversity
we have just in this mosque, within the Islamic community, within the Muslim community in
Canada."
End quote.
It just indicates that, again, being progressive means never having to say, you're bothered
by cognitive dissonance.
Prime Minister Trudeau, with all due respect, is clearly ignorant of history.
Diversity is not strength.
Diversity is what tears nations apart into small, squabbling factions.
And we're going to see that here in North America, the U.S. and Canada, if things continue
the way they are.
Meanwhile, in Montana, the House of Representatives there has advanced a bill that would ban Sharia
law in the state.
Senate Bill 97 passed mainly along party lines Monday, 56 to 44.
It didn't specifically mention Sharia, the bill, but that was often the focus of discussion
during the debate.
The bill reads in part, quote, it is the public policy of this state to protect its citizens
from the application of foreign law, when the application of foreign law will violate
a right guaranteed by the Montana Constitution or the United States Constitution, including
but not limited to due process, freedom of religion, speech or press, and any right of
privacy or marriage as defined and specifically defined by the Constitution and the laws of
the state, end quote.
You would think that that would have passed 100 to nothing in Montana, 44 Democratic legislators
or thereabouts.
Here in next door to Montana, that is, in North Dakota, last Thursday Governor Doug
Burgum signed legislation allowing North Dakota residents to carry a concealed handgun without
a permit, so-called constitutional carry.
The Second Amendment is the only permit you need.
The legislation, House Bill 1169 passed the House there by a vote of 83 to 9, passed the
Senate March 21st by a vote of 34 to 13.
The permitless carry law allows law-abiding citizens 18 and over to carry a concealed
handgun for self-defense as long as they have a valid ID and notify law enforcement if you're
stopped for a traffic violation or some such thing that you are in possession of a firearm.
Law goes into effect in August that will make North Dakota more than one of more than a
dozen states that currently allow constitutional carry, including our home state of Missouri.
Seven people took off their clothes, slaughtered a sheep, and then chained themselves to the
gate of the infamous death camp Auschwitz in Poland, supposedly some form of protest.
They draped a banner with the word love over the sign over the front gate, which translated
from German, which I won't attempt to pronounce.
Sorry, mom, I never learned to speak the, you know, two generations ago.
That's all my grandparents could speak and anyway.
Work sets you free is what that means.
That's what greeted arrivals at the camp, many of whom never saw freedom again.
Local media reported this was intended as a protest against the ongoing violence in Ukraine.
The group used a drone to record their protests.
A regional prosecutor told media that protesters were charged with desecrating a monument.
The man who killed the lamb will face additional animal protection law violations.
The place where I was born Cook County, Illinois, that's Chicago, lost more population than
any other county in the United States between July of 2015 and July of 2016, the Chicago
Cubs World Series victory, not withstanding Cook County shrank by over 21,000 people
during that period.
The county had more births than deaths and gained 18,400 people from international immigration.
However, 66,000 people moved to other parts of the United States, which more than offset
the growth in population, changing the fundamental demographics of the city, no doubt.
The people leaving Cook County, by the way, not showing up in other parts of Illinois,
and there are parts of Illinois that I can vouch are actually quite beautiful and very
pleasant places to live, except for the problems with the dysfunctional state government, the
fact the state's nearly bankrupt, weak job creation and never ending tax increases.
Yeah, 89 of 102 counties in Illinois have shrinking populations.
Come on over to Missouri, the water's fine.
Now this may explain why there are people in Illinois who are trying to encourage Illinois
to become the first state in the Midwest to legalize recreational use of marijuana.
Two state lawmakers there, they've introduced legislation allowing residents 21 and older
to grow or buy up to an ounce, 28 grams of marijuana, and to license businesses to sell
marijuana subject to regulation, i.e. taxes.
It's estimated that this might generate between $350 and $700 million a year in new tax revenue.
Again, Illinois's main problem, huge budget hole.
Now this is not a sure thing that this will pass, there are some key players in the state
that are opposed to the legislation like the Illinois Association of the Chiefs of Police,
and there's this, 17 other states, including Missouri, are considering similar legislation.
So it may not be something that attracts guests from out of state for very long.
In Oregon, history was made when a judge granted a resident there the right to be genderless.
It's believed that Patch, he's also now mononymous, one name, is the first to be legally defined
as having no gender.
He's a 27 year old video game designer.
Old reporters, even gender neutral pronouns don't feel as if they fit me, I feel no identity
or closeness with any pronouns I've come across.
What describes me is my name.
What, well, we won't go into what describes you, but.
And finally, a school district in North Carolina has pulled a book from its first grade curriculum.
Charlotte Mecklenburg schools had originally planned to make the book Jacob's New Dress,
part of its anti-bullying reading plan for Child Abuse Prevention Month.
The book is about a little boy who likes to wear dresses meant to teach children about
children who are non-gender conforming.
Jacob's New Dress, about a boy who likes to dress like a princess for playtime at school,
but is teased by his peers.
And the boy's mother soon helps him get over that, helps him make his own dress, and teaches
him that there are all sorts of ways to be a boy.
Some teachers were uncomfortable reading this to students and some parents were unhappy.
The district soon decided to replace the book with another.
The new selected story is about a blue crayon with a red label, which teaches children to
be true to your inner self.
From a Christian perspective, that's not much better.
Our inner selves are sinful.
We need to be true to him, but that's another discussion.
The North Carolina Values Coalition had gotten involved in the issue, urged followers to
contact the school district there in Charlotte, saying, the purpose of our elementary school
is to teach reading, writing, and arithmetic, not to encourage boys to wear dresses.
