The "doomsday clock" is still two-and-a-half minutes to midnight" http://thebulletin.org/clock/2017 but time is ticking and moving in the wrong direction.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_CeYOQ86Us After the visit of US foreign secretary Rex Tillerson to China Israeli News Live bring the news that there is troop-movement in Bejing. China must be getting tired of North Korea's testing of weapons. But China may be preparing to make its points clear towards the US in a "less friendly way". So far China did not choose military answers, tried to get more economic markets (via financial infrastructures, trade deals with a lot of countries). The US-Trump-administration seems to want more confrontation with both China and Iran. Both countries are working on answers-wich means escalation of war. http://www.debka.com/article/25973/Israeli-Russian-clash-over-Hizballah%E2%80%99s-Golan-grab, (Pro-Iran forces moving closer to the Golan Heights are unacceptable for Israel. http://www.debka.com/newsupdatepopup/20160/Syrian-rebels-attack-Russian-embassy-in-Damascus The Damascus offensive might indicate Israeli aid to the "rebels". Russia is seeing the Israeli air force serving IS.) The war for Syria seems to escalete with more US troops getting involved. Growing chances that Russia (or Syria, Iran) may shoot down western or Israeli airplanes above Syria. The Yemen war is also escalating-https://southfront.org/footage-houthi-forces-launching-ballistic-missile-against-military-airbase-near-saudi-capital/. "Moderate al-quada linked rebels" can not start their offensive in Damascus without foreign aid. Houthi-rebels can not fire missiles on Riyaad without foreign aid. North Korea is most likely preparing for a nuclear test far bigger than previous tests. Those tests did cause earthquakes in the region (the tests themselves with magnitudes M5+). http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/fail-or-succeed-the-next-north-korea-nuclear-test-could-be-a-disaster/article/2617762#! Climate Change: Pandemics: With more cases of humans both with H5N1 and H7N9 maybe worth noting that even if these virusses do not go Human-to-Human (H2H) stay bird-to-human they still can cause a lot of cases.

On US-China relations:
Finally, in a parallel report from Axios, the website cites China expert Richard McGregor who lists 5 things he believes Xi wants from Trump in order to maintain cordial relations between the two nations:
Europe https://www.rt.com/news/381261-us-romania-russia-nato-exercises/ (DJ-An Ukraine attack on Crimea might get some sort of support (info, logistics) by NATO ?) http://en.mehrnews.com/news/124349/Refugee-flow-from-Turkey-to-Greece-sharply-rises-after-Ankara-s (DJ-Turkey does not want IS fighters from Syria and Iraq inside their country-maybe Saudi Arabia can exploit them in their wars with Iran ? Otherwise the IS fighters may become "refugees"). Middle East (Russia will train Kurdish YPG fighters and open an air base at Afrin-NW Syria. Afrin is not far from the Turkish border. https://twitter.com/Conflicts/status/843833489522855936 An airbase there would block airroutes from Encerlik-Turkey by the western coalition. South west-near Latakia Russia has https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khmeimim_(air_base) So far YPG in Eastern Syria cooperated with US forces. (Pro)Turkish forces inside Syria now have Russian forces east and west of them. South is the Syrian Army. http://syria.liveuamap.com/en/2017/19-march-today-all-sdf-troops-set-to-leave-the-buffertzone">http://syria.liveuamap.com/en/2017/19-march-today-all-sdf-troops-set-to-leave-the-buffertzone) http://www.haaretz.com/middle-east-news/syria/1.778343">http://www.haaretz.com/middle-east-news/syria/1.778343, https://www.superstation95.com/index.php/world/3519 Russia tells Israel to stop actions in Syria. |

China-US relation
While press reports put the best "face" on Secretary Tillerson's meeting with China, skuttlebutt in the Pentagon claims it was "an unmitigated disaster." China allegedly demanded the US immediately withdraw all its naval forces from the South China Sea and Tillerson flatly refused. The Chinese also allegedly told Tillerson that China has no way to stop North Korea from continuing to develop nuclear weapons and test missiles, to which Tillerson allegedly replied "don't piss on my leg and try to tell me it's raining." Offended, China allegedly abruptly recessed the meeting. Shortly thereafter, North Korea test-fired a new rocket engine, while Tillerson was still meeting with China, and later announced that they would launch nuclear weapons against the US, South Korea, and Japan "if a single bullet is fired by US and South Korean troops toward North Korea." Middle East Korea Commetary DJ: When the Trump-administration does not accept the present nuclear treaty with Iran Iran may (re)start its nuclear program (and the US and EU are not on one line). China does not accept US weapon sales to Taiwan, the presence of US navy in the South China Sea. Russia does not want Israel to sell weapons to Ukraine, attacking (pro)Iran forces in Syria (or Lebanon). For Russia-Iran-China (RIC) it is getting clear what they can expect from Trump. They proberbly co-ordinate a joined reaction in wich they will not wait for US/NATO initiatives. Russia moving into YPG held regions inside Syria fits that patern. (The Kurds have not forgotten that the US/NATO is on the Turkish side in the war against the PKK, the US helped the shah in Iran in his genocide on the Kurds before the islamic revolution.) North Korea will continu its weaponsprogramm. Putting satelites in orbit, developing nuclear weapons. The expected nuclear test may cause "very severe damage" in a wide region inside North Korea. Possibly the biggest danger for North Korea is its present government. Climate Change http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2017/03/19/flash-floods-take-dramatic-toll-lima-and-northern-peru |

The Trump-administration in the US beliefs in fossil fuels, wants to Make America Great Again. Stands behind Israel and wants to spent even more on the military.
If you want to be "great", the only "superpower" you can not shy away for confrontations with rivals. Given the importance of the Middle East for oil. Also the possibility to involve strong partners-NATO, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan I (DJ) think this could be a possible scenario: -Turkey can be pulled into the NATO allience when the Kurds can be used as "a foreign enemy" (supported by Syria, Russia). NATO countries can be forced to come to assist Turkey with its fight against "foreign invaders" (PKK) in Turkey and YPG etc. outside Turkey (that also would provide an excuse for a new invasion in Iraq). -To stop any nuclear plans from Iran Israel, Saudi Arabia with US help will be enabled to take action in Iran. Pakistan already has troops in Saudi Arabia to help that country with border security close to Yemen. -The US wants to show strenght, the Black Sea mostly will become NATO territory. Ukraine, Georgia could become NATO members. At the same time NATO forces will be active in Libya. -Since Trump wants to show the world how great he is-also hit-and-run actions in North Korea, South China Sea etc. (Allies South Korea, Japan, Australia, New Zealand-but an objective will be to get the Philipines on the side of the west, regain influence in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia). The idea behind this scenario is that Russia-Iran-China (R.I.C.) can act strong because of weakness from the west. Trump believes the west is stronger and R-I-C know that, they want to avoid major wars-and their coalition is not that strong. What may go wrong ? Russia and Iran will defend their positions in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan-even the EU-may not want to be pulled in major plans to get Putin back in his"cage". Russia, China (and other BRICS-nations) believe in a multi-polar world not in a US leadership. Also such a large scale military scenario is very expensive. Even for the US itself it may be asking to much (corruption and military mix given the hierarchy and amount of money involved). North Korea may be able to do a lot of damage (EMP-satelites ? Nuclear polution ? Blowing up dams to flood South Korea ?)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zzsr4yRDSVk Israeli News Live; Ukraine is working on a dirty (nuclear) bomb to use against Crimea, Eastern Ukraine (with western knowledge see also https://twitter.com/m3t4_tr0n ). It would provide Russia with an excuse to move into the Ukraine. For the US Ukraine is very strategic-flying time for missiles towars Moscow from the US is 30 minutes, from Eastern Ukraine the US would be able to strike without (much) time for reaction from Russia (or Iran).
https://www.rt.com/news/381696-israel-syria-netanyahu-putin/ Israel will keep attacking Hezbollah in Syria. The 4th attack in one week https://southfront.org/israeli-warplanes-deliver-airstrikes-syrian-army-targets-damascus-countryside-media/ (For a historic background https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRcu-ysocX4&t=932s From about 1500 BC to 1200 BC, the Mediterranean region played host to a complex cosmopolitan and globalized world-system. It may have been this very internationalism that contributed to the apocalyptic disaster that ended the Bronze Age. When the end came, the civilized and international world of the Mediterranean regions came to a dramatic halt in a vast area stretching from Greece and Italy in the west to Egypt, Canaan, and Mesopotamia in the east. Large empires and small kingdoms collapsed rapidly. With their end came the world’s first recorded Dark Ages. It was not until centuries later that a new cultural renaissance emerged in Greece and the other affected areas, setting the stage for the evolution of Western society as we know it today. Professor Eric H. Cline of The George Washington University will explore why the Bronze Age came to an end and whether the collapse of those ancient civilizations might hold some warnings for our current society. Considered for a Pulitzer Prize for his recent book 1177 BC, Dr. Eric H. Cline is Professor of Classics and Anthropology and the current Director of the Capitol Archaeological Institute at The George Washington University. He is a National Geographic Explorer, a Fulbright scholar, an NEH Public Scholar, and an award-winning teacher and author. He has degrees in archaeology and ancient history from Dartmouth, Yale, and the University of Pennsylvania; in May 2015, he was awarded an honorary doctoral degree (honoris causa) from Muhlenberg College. Dr. Cline is an active field archaeologist with 30 seasons of excavation and survey experience. |

https://southfront.org/sdf-entered-strategic-tabqa-air-base-west-of-raqqah/ (DJ; Veterans Today and some other sources claim that since IS has no airforce airfields in Syria may be used by "third parties" for supplies for IS, transporting fighters (from Libya to Syria, from Iraq to Syria)-some "groups" are interested in dividing Syria in a Kurdish, a Sunni and a Shia-part. Airfields may be usefull for that goal.) Korea: testsite preparations NK; Ukraine: JD The Balakleya munition storage had some large explosions. Israeli News Live did mention earlier the Russian claim that Ukraine was working on a dirty bomb to use against seperatists. VT did mention more often the use of small nuclear weapons (in Iraq 2003, Yemen, Syria and there may be some proof in both images, radiationmeasurements, ground samples (when possible). The reason that the usage of small nuclear weapons is not main news could be that all parties involved would like to denie the story ? It is not unthinkable that Ukraine could have SS-21 missiles from the Soviet Union time. Climate Change:

climate change:
Unlike others, I do NOT expect an Arctic Ice Free Summer this year. We should have 15% of the Winter Ice come October. But with 85% of the ice gone, we should see a massive increase in Methane release. Remember this summer in the northern hemisphere we will start seeing localized temperature peaks at inland sites of 105 to 117 degrees Fahrenheit (DJ 40 to 47 C) within 2000 miles of the Equator give or take a few hundred miles. As previously stated, THIS WILL BE THE BEGINNING OF WHAT I AM CALLING THE TIME OF TROUBLES. In 2018 the heating will include another thousand miles to the North. in 2019 another thousand miles or more. It is coming and we can not stop it. The Arctic Ice will be gone by 2019. Civilization will most likely be gone by 2020 if we do not take action now to cool the planet. We can always hope for volcanic action increase, especially from BIG volcanoes like Mount Pinatubo, as they are the ones to put sulfur into the skies. (Sulfur blocks out the sunlight and thus provides for global cooling.) http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-03-27/damage-bill-from-debbie-for-farmers-could-hit-$1b/8390716 Wars: https://aldinabazovic.wordpress.com/2017/03/27/alleged-us-air-strike-on-tabqa-dam/ The control-techniques are destroyed (by fire started by IS ?) which could mean the dam is not able to fully control waterlevels. If the dam would break it would put Raqqa under water. Northern part of dam under SDF (US) control, southern part still in IS control. (Other sources claim there was no serious damage at the dam-it still functions). http://warmonitor.net/news/2017/03/27/war-with-north-korea-inches-closer/ In november 1983 the Soviet Union assumed that NATO-exercises were meant as a surprise attack on the Warsawpact and almost attacked NATO themselves. NK may draw wrong conclusions also.http://defconwarningsystem.com/2017/03/25/what-a-korean-war-could-look-like/ DJ, the international community is aware of the dangers an escalation in Korea can bring. There will be more testing, exercises, THAAD etc. So far each escalation brought (indirect) communication on how to react on the event. The number of countries involved stayed limited. Japan and South Korea leave military action on the US. China and Russia would like to have more control on NK. North Korea itself has a clear (but insane ?) leadership. Another nuclear (underground ?) test in NK is expected the coming week. The test is expected to be much stronger then previous tests. It is not unthinkable that this test could go (very) wrong; fast way-causing a large earthquake (earlier test did cause M5/M5.5 range quakes), The explosion itself is supposed to be in a tunnel-blocked by concrete. But when the blockage blows away what was meant to be an underground nuclear explosion could come above ground-with lots of radiation problems and possibly much widespread damage. In short NK could blow itself up. A slow way in wich things go wrong is leakage of radiation into water, atmosphere, destabelizing coalmines in the region. It could produce seismic pressure wich could result in an earthquake in the region. The test itself is already a big problem. Working on missiles and (war)satellites is another problem. How do you deal with a nuclear armed mad man keeping a country hostage-in wich most of that country follow their leader blindly ? Agression proberbly creates more madness. The Chinese aproach of talking may be the only solution when you want to avoid serious problems. "Limited international action" could be possible when the US, China and Russia would discus it. Taking out NK satellites could be a step. When THAAD indeed is meant to keep NK under control China and Russia may be interested in limiting strike-ability from NK. Economic "weapons" could maybe convince NK to change its way. Could a de-militarized Korea be united ? Would the US, China, Russia guarantee the safety and neutrality of Korea when that would make the region (and world) more safe ? More weapons destabilize the region further-it is time for good communication with the US, China and Russia and make a plan. http://www.sssscomic.com/comicpages/196.jpg tree of languages) |

^Thanks, Dutch Josh, great information as always!!
The increase in global temperature is causing the Arctic jet stream to behave strangely, it whips around and dips far into countries of the Northern hemisphere, resulting in the turbulent and unpredictable weather we are encountering. This is high-level stuff, but it explains it perfectly: http://https://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2017/0327/How-climate-change-may-be-driving-extreme-weather The jet stream, which Mann describes as a "ribbon-like air current that travels eastward … in the lower part of the atmosphere where weather happens," exists because of the difference in air temperatures between the subtropic and subarctic regions. The eastward-flowing air isn't one completely steady band. Slow-moving waves that travel from north to south often appear across the ribbon of air. It is those particularly large undulations, called Rossby waves, that researchers link with extreme weather, because of the intensely low or high pressure systems they bring with them. In a warming world, these Rossby waves are getting stuck in one place for a long period of time, Mann and his colleagues say. And this means that a region under the low pressure part of these waves will experience intense, prolonged rainfall resulting in flooding. The regions under the high pressure systems will be stuck with hot, dry conditions conducive to drought and wildfires. What's making these waves static, or at least slowing them down? Mann points to the warming Arctic. The tropics aren't warming as much as the Arctic, so the temperature gradient from north-to-south is less extreme. As the temperature differences that create the jet stream decline, the jet stream's dynamics change. |

Syria: DJ: In the past "alternative media" brought news of Turkey and Saudi Arabia preparing to intervene in Syria "against IS". The west claims to "protect human rights" and blames Russia for its intervention in Syria "wich made things worse". IS did sell oil to the west via Kurdish traders, Turkey (Erdogans family). Still the plan seems to be that Turkey, Israel, Saudi Arabia will intervene in Syria and "to get rid of IS you have to get rid of Assad" http://www.debka.com/newsupdatepopup/20268/US-Ambassador-Haley-the-UN-SC-will-focus-on-Iran-instead-of-Israel With the latest terror attack in Russia https://www.rt.com/news/383486-petersburg-metro-bombing-facts/ Russia will fight even harder against IS terror groups in the world. http://www.veteranstoday.com/2017/04/04/new-york-times-israel-is-provoking-the-next-war/ Climate change: https://robertscribbler.com/2017/04/03/so-far-2017-is-in-the-running-to-be-the-4th-consecutive-hottest-year-on-record/ and https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10211950626098519&set=a.1873759521225.110794.1158280001&type=3&theater CO2, methane etc. on the rise means temperatures on the rise means rising sealevels at record speed etc.....

North Korea:
A reminder on Syria: http://www.globalresearch.ca/hillary-clinton-approved-delivering-libyas-sarin-gas-to-syrian-rebels-seymour-hersh/5522647 (And even a MIT study !!! https://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.documentcloud.org/documents/1006045/possible-implications-of-bad-intelligence.pdf , see also https://www.facebook.com/pepe.escobar.77377 : "Only fake news sub-zoology specimens can possibly believe Damascus would profit from staging a chemical attack just a few hours after the St. Petersburg metro tragedy. The timing is NOT accidental. No wonder hysterical block to block "coverage" in NATO-controlled MSM - actually editorials, blaming Damascus without any investigation whatsoever.") DJ Russian claim: https://www.rt.com/news/383522-syria-idlib-warehouse-strike-chemical/ (DJ Syria did agree in destroying chemical weapons. Chlorine for industrial use was excluded. Also areaś not under government control were excluded. Several "rebel" groups (and Turkey ?) may have owned or used chemical weapons in Syria. The western mass media tend to "bad Assad-bad Russia" stories while reality is more complex. In my opinion we are in an undecleared World War 3 scenario with "the West" at war with Russia-Iran-China (RIC) and a.o. Ukraine, Syria/Iraq-Yemen, Afghanistan and Korea as the frontlines. The US can not claim to be the "only superpower" having a petro-linked-dollar when they loose control over the Middle East. ) Israeli News Live https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pjEdHH0Jys US sending US forces to Lebanon. (DJ: Preparations for US/NATO forces moving towards Damascus from the west, Lebanon, Israel moving nort-east via the Golan Heights and Turkey via western Syria south. Maybe Trump is thinking of at the same time large scale attacks in Korea and Syria ? "make america great again by starting world war 3 ? ) Climate change: Rapid disintigration of Laptev Sea Ice, 04 04 2017. Open water can be seen. This is nerve-wracking for those who know what is in the Laptev Sea. https://worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov/… (DJ: less ice means more release of CO2, methane etc=temperature rise. http://siberiantimes.com/ecology/others/news/n0760-arctic-methane-gas-emission-significantly-increased-since-2014-major-new-research/) https://www.udel.edu/udaily/2017/february/arctic-acidification/ |
