Reading from partly prepared remarks, Russia’s President Vladimir Putin spoke briefly to state media in advance of a meeting with key officials of the Russian government.
Worth noting is how, within the remarks, President Putin verbally places Turkey between Russia and Iran regarding the Syrian conflict.  Structurally, this is not accidental.

(TRANSCRIPT) “News came today from Turkey where the ambassador of Russia was cowardly killed, Karlov Andrea Genadievich.
First of all I would like to give my sincere condolences to the family and friends of our fallen comrade. I request the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to award him posthumous and offer proposals for making a memorial.  He died on duty. (more…)

When five exiled leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood were kicked out of Qatar, the government of Turkey took them in.  Turkey has also been identified as providing direct support to ISIS in Northern Syria.  In addition when Russia began attacking ISIS Turkey shot down a Russian fighter jet.
Turkish President Recep Erdogan sanctions these actions, and yet Turkey remains a member of NATO.
Today the Russian ambassador to Turkey was shot dead by a Turkish police officer at an art gallery in Ankara.   Ambassador Andrey Karlov, 62, was repeatedly shot at close range by a gunman shouting: ‘Allahu Akbar (God is Great). We die in Aleppo, you die here!’
[wpvideo wOZcW6h1]
The shooter has been named on social media as Mevlüt Mert Altıntaş, 22, a police officer from the Ankara police special forces department.

It is remarkable how disingenuous, and hypocritical, partisan democrats (and media) become with the issue of manipulation and intents of CIA Chief John Brennan…

Everyone reading here is old enough to remember Democrat Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Diane Feinstein, accusing Brennan of lying to her and congress; and worse yet, accusing Brennan of illegally hacking into, and spying on, her staff and congressional oversight personnel. –SEE HERE–
Now, however, all of a sudden, John Brennan is the bastion of intelligence integrity…. Ridiculous.
Thankfully, not everyone has forgotten.  Representative Peter King again calls out CIA Head Brennan, and better still – says Brennan should be investigated.

“It seems like to me — there should be an investigation what the Russians did but also an investigation of John Brennan and the hit job he seems to be orchestrating against the president-elect.”

Sometimes all you need to highlight “Fake News” is a screen grab:

It is somewhat funny, perhaps quizzically so, that people cannot see the mutually beneficial play amid the strong relationship formed between Donald Trump and Nigel Farage.   Essentially and substantively, 2016 geo-political outcomes have become a game of teams: Democratic Nationalists -vs- Totalitarian Globalists.

Toward that end we see the globalist team getting crushed at each electoral occasion: (1. Brexit referendum, 2. Trump election, 3. Italian -Renzi- referendum); and we see the left-wing ideologues flailing around wildly, trying to regain their footing.
The latest visible globalist synergy is leftists within British Parliament blaming Russia for Brexit and Cameron’s defeat, while simultaneously the White House blames Russia for Trump’s victory and Clinton’s defeat.  Despite the ridiculous nature of both claims, there is a unified globalist narrative there.
These outcomes are where Trump and Farage became the visible political face of the anti-globalist movement.  As a direct result of voters the U.K. is forced to accept Brexit, and at some levels actually attempting to avoid implementing Brexit, ergo the power of a U.S. President (Trump) supporting the Brexit referendum is leverage for Mr. Farage.
Hence, a relationship based on “mutually beneficial leverage”….

It’s been more than a few months since we first began discussing the obvious internal conflict between White Hats and Black Hats within the Obama intelligence and national security agencies. Today, we see exactly how bad the fracture has become.
As further evidence of the politicization of the CIA (Central Intelligence), headed by John Brennan; and DNI (Director of National Intelligence) James Clapper, the agencies are refusing to brief congress on their claim the “Russians Hacked the U.S. Election”.

On Monday, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes sent a letter to DNI James Clapper requesting the director immediately brief congress (Friday, December 16th).  Both Clapper  and Brennan are now refusing to explain their public claims.
On November 17th Director Clapper told congress there was no basis to identify Russia’s involvement in the DNC and Podesta email leaks release by WikiLeaks in the run up to the election.
However, last week the Washington Post and New York Times claimed officials within the DNI and CIA held proof of Russia hacking the election.

The underlying problem created by ideological broadcasts of Western Left-Wing media, is the resulting calcification of cynicism.
Almost every MSM presentation of the situation in Syria, specifically Aleppo, stems from an inherent disposition to apologize for, and ignore the atrocities of, the Muslim Brotherhood.
Amid the obtuse representation of the extremist minority, the ideological media create an even more dangerous situation for the average, common, non combatant Syrian.  Fortunately, one Canadian journalist speaks truth amid the propaganda:

According to almost every media report, President-elect Donald Trump has selected Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson as the nominee for Secretary of State.  The announcement is anticipated to take place this morning.  Here’s our previous outline anticipating T-Rex:

The ridiculous NBC Chuck Todd -vs- Reince Peibus interview is beyond absurd.
The entire premise for Chuck Todd’s position is two media reports.  One of those media reports (NYT) is demonstrably false; the second (WaPo) is specifically constructed to target and undermine the Trump presidency.  The Washington Post was previously cited, on the record, with their own statements, claiming their intention and motivation to oppose the Donald Trump candidacy.
Incoming White House Chief-of-Staff Reince Priebus pushes back against reports from both publications based on his personal knowledge one is false; and no indication the second is anything other than false.
Chuck Todd intentionally avoids recognizing his position is built upon two media constructs;  instead he demands answers about the underlying false premise, two media reports that are built entirely upon make-believe.  Watch:

However, Michael Smerconish was fully engaged in selling the MSM storyline.
