Murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich had contact with WikiLeaks prior to death | 15 May 2017 | It has been almost a year since Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich was murdered in the nation's capital. There have been no solid answers about why he was killed until now. Rich was shot and killed last July in Northwest D.C. and police have suggested the killing in the District's Bloomingdale neighborhood was a botched robbery [even though nothing of value was taken]. However, online conspiracy theories have tied the murder to Rich's work at the DNC. Just two months shy of the one-year anniversary of Rich's death, FOX 5 has learned there is new information that could prove these theorists right. Rod Wheeler, a private investigator hired by the Rich family, suggests there is tangible evidence on Rich's laptop that confirms he was communicating with WikiLeaks prior to his death.

White House refutes 'false' report Trump shared classified info with Russians | 15 May 2017 | Multiple White House officials, including National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster, are refuting a Washington Post story claiming that President Donald Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian officials in the Oval Office last week. On Monday evening, National Security Advisor McMaster called a report published earlier in the day by the Washington Post "false." The report that went viral cited unverifiable sources, unnamed current and former US officials, who claimed that Trump disclosed to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Ambassador to the US Sergey Kislyak "code-word information" relating to Islamic State during a May 10 meeting in the Oval Office at the White House..."I was in the room. It didn't happen," McMaster told reporters outside the White House. Deputy National Security Adviser Dina Powell also called the story "false" Monday.

Globalist Hillary Clinton officially launches 'resistance' outside group | 15 May 2017 | Hillary Clinton officially announced Monday her post-2016 election plans: A political organization aimed at funding "resistance" groups that are standing up to President Donald Trump [to better serve the other neocon dirt-bags completely owned and operated by Wall Street]. Clinton tweeted that she was launching "Onward Together to encourage people to get involved, organize, and even run for office." Amanda Litman, co-founder of Run for Something said in a statement that they are "so honored and proud to have Hillary Clinton's support." [Run for Something? What did Clinton run for, other than "It's my turn" or "I'm with her?" What was Clinton's message, other than, "I'm a woman and... something something dirtbag something something?" How about Hillary runs for the hills instead of supposedly encouraging others (especially her daughter) to run for office -- in a transparent attempt to resuscitate her political career? Some might even go as so far as to say that Hillary should run fromsomething, instead of talking about running for something. But do we need Hillary involved in the already polluted political sphere, the same hack that allowed 20% of U.S. uranium to be sold to Russia without whimper? How much more political and economic capital will this family attempt to extract from the U.S. public? --Michael Rectenwald].

Computers will now be checked as baggage. | 10 May 2017 | The Department of Homeland Security plans to ban laptops in the cabins of all flights from Europe to the United States, European security officials told The Daily Beast.

The ban was based on U.S. fears that terrorists have found a way to convert laptops into bombs capable of bringing down an airplane. It is unclear if the European ban will also apply to tablets.

Western news reports claim between one and three people have died since the outbreak of the Ebola virus was confirmed by the World Health Organization on Thursday, with doctors stating the victims were killed by the rare "Zaire strain" of the virus. While medical staff remain puzzled by the appearance of the deadly disease in Bas-Uele province, a previously unaffected and remote part of the Congo, a Kremlin report claims the Ebola virus is a "bioweapon" being tweaked as part of an elite global eugenics plan. [It is.]
