Headlines and Updates for November 21, 2018: Thanksgiving Eve Rumbles [videos] ~ November 21, 2018


America is shakin’ with all sorts of civil war activities but they’re invisible to even the intelligent and best informed.

We can’t lay claim to all the fame and glory here, however, because the rest of the world is shakin’ things up too.

Our friends in Germany know the score and they are not going to take it any more. They are tired of waking up every morning under the blanket of guilt for a war they had little to do with. Good for you, Germany. You’re smart and you’ll win your war, just as the Brits will win theirs, France will win theirs, and America and Canada will win theirs.

Thanks, J, for the encouraging signs of awakening in your country. Very exciting messages, to be sure. United we stand, indeed!

(There are multiple languages in the subtitles, including English.)

People the world over are realizing they are not who the controllers have been telling them they are. They are so much more, and they don’t deserve to be treated like cattle. They are sheep no more. They will take back their freedom, oust the psychopaths, and declare their sovereignty. A new world is coming, and we can wake up to it any time we choose.

This is a time to give thanks that we are here to see the almost miraculous wrenching of freedom out of the hands of vile creatures who have subjugated us for millennia.

QAnon appears to have awoken, too, having left a few new posts after a long absence. Don’t worry America, they’ve got this. All the unspeakable things that have unfolded on this planet and in America will be addressed. It’s getting really good now, don’t you think? As Q says, “enjoy the show.” He is making the “D5” avalanche reference again. Do you hear that rumbling?

Praying Medic had a quick update for us yesterday you might enjoy.

Sean at the SGT Report had a chat with former marine/CIA Robert David Steele and they discuss the current situation unfolding in America.

The War Drummer has a new history lesson for us about George Washington and the Freemasons. Folks love his dramatic style and theatrical presentation. It makes learning so entertaining and it’s too bad schools didn’t use such props for their lessons. The kids would be enthralled and it would stick so much better.


It will take time to correct the problems in our world as the dark ones have programmed people that can be “activated” when needed, and most unexpected. We expect it, but we never know when or where they will strike. They’re like human land mines, unfortunately, and often hurt innocent people.

It’s important to replace the corrupt judges currently overseeing the courts with honest, constitutional ones, not puppets paid to support the disgusting leftist, evil agenda.

Our friend at You Are Free TV discusses aspects of current events surrounding the California fires, Paradise in particular, and the betrayal of Californians by Gov. Jerry Brown. Thank goodness he is on his way out.

There is an additional concern about what the psychopaths may be planning with respect to California because we have already had people talking about volcanic activity, lava, etc. We don’t use the term “psychopath” lightly. We know Agenda 2030 is a valid plan they had to eliminate 90 per cent of Humanity and California is one place they started. We also know they have the ability to cause volcanoes, earthquakes, etc.

It sounds like she gets a lot of pushback regarding Trump in video comments and some may be trolls, but there are folks out there who don’t understand the grand scheme on multiple dimensions and they will understandably respond that way to what they see unfolding based on historical events in America. This is not like those old political shenanigans. Different ball game. This is beyond Super Bowl.

Many of us know this is far bigger than most people on our planet understand. There is more in play than we see on the surface and we have to trust that everything that can be done to take down the enemy of Humanity is being done, and we need to support President Trump.

She also discusses the lockdown of the airport in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti now and what appears to be the takedown of the corrupt government there that enables the predators to feed on children.

Here is an update from the Unknown Lightwarrior about the planetary situation from the Light Forces perspective—the one most people are unaware of in what is largely a spiritual war between good and evil; the Light and the dark.

Our Planetary Defense Commander, Thor, issued a warning for California for Thanksgiving weekend for heavy rains and mudslides. We don’t have to tell you that a place that has been deforested is ripe for landslides and flooding. Please pray for the people of California who bear the brunt of these retaliatory attacks for the take-down of the deep state that is currently unfolding in America.

They have been spraying us with chemtrails here in Arizona relentlessly and I suspect it’s part of the offensive attack they have planned for California.

Sunday Digest Intel and Updates for November 18, 2018: That Rocky Road to Freedom [videos] ~ November 18, 2018


The awakening process seems to be moving along. At what speed we’re not sure, but reports suggest that 44% of young Facebook users deleted their accounts, and now Twitter is messing big time with their users.

Californians are definitely waking up, unfortunately not by choice.

Q’s been quiet for a few days.

Simon Parkes published his update from yesterday where he discusses at the outset his intel on global events. He begins with the financial aspect, then the fires in California and the multiple methods used to incinerate the Golden State and kill residents, then gets into “Brexit” and a few other things before the Q&A. His video is below.

He also mentioned this bit of news on his website:

Russian Favoured As Head Of Interpol

The big game / Lie that the Russians are behind everything that is evil is shown for what it is by the announcement that Interpol, the international police force want a Russian to head them!

Alexander Prokopchuk the Head of the Russian interior ministry has been told that he is the front runner after the last head was removed by the Dragon society in China for being corrupt. So while crazy elements in the media shout foul about Russian involvement in the last US election, the world police organisation is actively seeking a Russian to head them.

But why can’t the majority of Earths citizens see what’s going on ? Not for nothing are the few of us brave souls called – Awake and Aware!  Source


In followup to the video from Marfoogle News channel we shared the other day about active duty and non American military being on 72-hour notice and deployed domestically, there have been more callers adding to the intel and some documentation.

I wouldn’t speculate on what all this means but I will reiterate what we’ve been cautioned about and that is fear porn, which will be rampant now.

Everything’s cool, just relax, stay calm and alert. America, if you haven’t already prepared as the President requested, then it’s best you do so now. The way things are going with earth changes, etc. everyone on the planet should prepare as people are having to evacuate on a moment’s notice for many reasons. There are murmurs of martial law and anything could happen. Power outages, floods, blizzards, earthquakes, anything.

No one is going to tell us what will unfold; this is war. Anything could happen, any time. Obviously secrecy is paramount in military operations and we will be told only what is safe to tell us. Since the operation is called “Hot Musket”, it brings the American Revolution to mind, and no, China is not taking over America. Come on. Get a grip. The cabal is THE target. Every nation on the planet has these perverts in their sights, except perhaps Israel and Saudi Arabia. They’re outnumbered.

The road will be bumpy but we’re all in this together. Just know that a far better world is in the birthing stages behind the scenes and most of us will be here to enjoy it. We will Make Earth Great Again. (MEGA)

The natives are restless and Newt Gingrich penned a letter on behalf of the American people. This is from Jim Stone’s website.

 

BLOCKBUSTER LETTER FROM (of all people) NEWT GINGRICH

Newt Gingrich calls out Hillary’s scams (by proxy of Imran Awan)

To: U.S. House of Representatives Inspector General Mike Ptasienski

As a former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and a concerned private citizen, I am alarmed by the appearance of a cover-up of serious crimes committed by a former House employee and his associates, as well as, potentially, members of the House of Representatives themselves.

I waited until after the election to send this letter so it clearly would not be seen as a political act.

To help reassure the American people that our nation’s leaders stand for honesty, accountability, and transparency, this letter is a formal request to ask for the release of the two PowerPoint presentations given on September 20, 2016 and September 30, 2016 by your office to House leadership.

The presentations provide critical information pertaining to the possible invoice manipulation, equipment theft, illicit cyber activities, irregular cyber-related login and usage patterns, and outside storage of House data by Imran Awan and his associates.

The plea agreement for Mr. Awan, court appearances, and reported conversations with witnesses connected to the FBI’s investigation of Awan and his associates’ activities suggests that the FBI (while working with the United States Capitol Police) and the Department of Justice have avoided conducting a thorough and meticulous investigation.

For example, in the July 2018 plea agreement, the DOJ stated that approximately 40 witnesses were interviewed throughout the duration of the investigation. Upon further examination, this number seems substantially inadequate for an investigation potentially involving so many individuals. While employed by the House for 13 years as shared IT employees, the Awan associates worked for more than 60 members, and in 2015, 2016, and 2017, the Awan associates were on the payrolls of approximately 40 members each year. When taking into account the members, the staff of each member, fellow House IT colleagues and peers, and additional business associates, the 40 interviews that were conducted appear to be remarkably insufficient to support the argument that an investigation of this magnitude was conducted thoroughly.

In connection with the investigation, it has also been reported that key witnesses were only contacted days or hours before the plea agreement was signed. In another case, a witness was asked to be interviewed by the FBI but was prohibited from bringing any documents. Conducting investigative interviews in this manner suggests that the FBI investigators merely wanted to be able to say that they contacted witnesses and raises significant questions as to whether these interviews were actually conducted in good faith.

Aside from the alleged criminals themselves, this apparent collective effort of willful negligence sought to protect the involved members of Congress and their staffs – at the expense of the American people who they were entrusted to protect in the first place.

The sheer scale and size of the alleged criminal activity, the potential damage it could have caused, and the continual threats it potentially poses for the United States, raises significant questions that every American deserves to have answered.

In just one of the dozens of offices where one of the Awan associates were employed, almost $120, 000 worth of equipment was written off of the House inventory, after he was unable to produce the equipment. An unofficial transcript of your office’s PowerPoint presentation from September 20, 2016 asserts that the “shared employee stated that the items were never received, shouldn’t have been inventoried, or the staff lost the equipment.” The flaw in this claim is emphasized by the transcribed statement that follows: “However, equipment could not be on inventory or have [an] asset tag unless it had arrive[d] in office and EIN had been signed.”

The member of the office in question is a member of the Committee on Ethics.

Additionally, more than $111, 000 was paid by the House Democratic Caucus to one of the Awan associates throughout the duration of her employment. Members on the Committee of Foreign Affairs issued payments to associates totaling more than $950, 000. The Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence paid the associates over $530, 000, while the Committee on the Judiciary paid more than $446, 000. The Committee on Ethics paid more than $221, 000, and the Committee on Homeland Security paid upwards of $175, 000.

Close ties between Pakistan and the Awan associates were also identified, including large amounts of property that were owned but not properly disclosed in House documents. A $165, 000 home equity line of credit loan received in January 2017 was wired in its entirety – almost immediately – to two individuals in Faisalabad, Pakistan. Imran Awan pleaded guilty this summer to obtaining this exact loan illegally.

These allegations and the accompanying investigation have been kept under such secrecy that the American people have been denied their fundamental right to know what happened, who is responsible, and what actions have been taken to ensure the fair and transparent administration of justice.

The American people expect better than this. The United States Congress should be better than this.

Releasing the requested documents is essential to show that the U.S. government will require every member of Congress to answer to his or her constituents and fellow citizens for his or her actions.

If you choose to deny this request, I will appeal to the House membership to pass a resolution that will make public the two documents, and all additional documents that are related to the claims made against and his associates, investigators and law enforcement, and the House members and staffers who may be involved.

Americans deserve truthful, complete answers to the questions that have been raised surrounding these extensive allegations.

Sincerely,

Newt Gingrich

 


Will it ever end? There is no reconciling this election. Throw everything out and start over. Nothing else will do.

Oops! Brenda Snipes ‘Misplaced’ Another TWO THOUSAND Ballots in Broward Florida Recount

Read that story and see video here.

More from Jim Stone… with much eye-rolling and shaking of heads… what a circus.

How they are going to finalize the steal in Florida

They are going to go over ballots the machine did not count correctly and if someone did not fill out all fields on a ballot they are going to “decide” who that person wanted to vote for and fill the incomplete portions of the ballots out for them.

You can’t make this stuff up, HEADLINE: DEM TAKES SENATE and as a consolation, the governorship goes to the Republican. That’s probably what they will do.


With respect to the fiasco here in Arizona… good news. I still think they should just trash the election nationally and start over. There were too many questionable areas. Again, from Jim Stone

BOOOOM, ARIZONA IS NOT OVER YET! HA HA, CONSENT DECREE CANCELLATION RULES!!!

The Republican party has found proof the election in Arizona was stolen and is now auditing the election, which is something they would have been jailed for during the last election.

“According to Arizona’s GOP, the investigation will examine and report the Recorder’s decision to open an emergency voting center before Election Day, voting procedures and challenges, ballot counting, results reporting process, and allegations of fraud in the election.

In the press release, the GOP stated that they hope the audit will produce a fair, factually-based report that will help them understand what happened in the elections and address the voter concerns.

AZ GOP’s Chairman Jonathan Lines has asked Phoenix attorney Stephen Richer to conduct the audit with State PLLC serving as advisory legal counsel.

GOP officials said the auditor will soon create a website where Arizona residents can submit information about the recent election that could be useful to the independent audit. The GOP will provide updates of the review’s progress and hopes to use the auditor’s final report to improve the process in future Arizona elections.

My (Jim’s) comment: Just yesterday Hillary was begging to have the consent decree reinstated, claiming it’s cancellation caused too many black voters to not vote! In actuality, too many voters were left open to prosecution for voting early and voting often. This is not over yet. It’s looking good for Arizona if the GOP is going to do this.

SEE THIS

 


Something to think about with respect to the California fires… There are no accidents, but there are multiple agendas. If you doubt this, do a search on “smart meter fires” and see all the photos from across North America of “smart” meters (strategic marketing) that caught fire. Today, California. Tomorrow? It could be any one of us.

SMART meters

Now we understand the extraordinary and relentless push to get SMART meters in every home and business in America.

Even when the electrical grid goes down Smart meters are equipped with technology that provides a digital signature that can be identified by drones, airplanes and satellites from above.  It also appears that these devices can be triggered to start a small isolated fire.  Whether they can be used to start a whole house electrical fire is also a distinct possibility.

Here’s a thought: What if the psychopaths decided to use their directed energy weapons, scalar weapons or particle beams on a power station or two? I doubt they would—not yet—and not at this time of year because as Simon Parkes pointed out last year, they love raking in the money from programmed Christmas shoppers, and Black Friday and Thanksgiving in the US are a few days away. The psychopaths are desperate for cash so they probably wouldn’t disrupt our lives much just now but they have the ability to do it and if pushed too far, there’s no telling what they might do. Be prepared.

 


Smart meters, iPhones, televisions, iPads, refrigerators, Wi-Fi, microwaves, Alexa—technology is all weaponized, folks. We are vibrational creatures and anything with a frequency can affect us—for good or ill. Beware the company you keep.

The Captain’s Blog

Communications: Hailing Frequencies Open?

We are again having issues with our telephone lines between here and Canada and can’t talk to our folks today, and the blog has challenges, too.  A fact of life any more, it seems.

In closing I would note that some readers have confirmed they are no longer getting WordPress email notifications when a new post is published at Starship Earth.

At the same time I noticed that while subscriptions climbed rather quickly over the past few weeks, they suddenly dropped all at once so it appears the blog is being messed with.

Keep in mind that while we use the WordPress format, we are not on the WordPress platform because we have our own URL so that may muddy the waters. Number One performed all the WP updates this week so we’ve done all we can do from the bridge.

One reader reports that WordPress is no longer showing the option to subscribe for daily updates for Starship Earth so you may have to bookmark the site and visit manually. Regular readers know I publish every day with only a rare break.

Also, we have a backup blog where I will post some of the most important updates as needed and as time allows. You can subscribe here to “The Captain’s Blog” which is currently under the radar and is strictly a WordPress blog. Thanks for flying with Starship Earth. Carry on and go boldly!  ~ BP

“U.S. FORCES HAVE TAKEN CONTROL OF THE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IN PORT-AU-PRINCE HAITI” ~ November 18, 2018


Edito’s Note: This is a report posted by Kp  who keeps a watch on global action. Here, he reports on a Twitter account of interest. Be sure top watch for news from MSM downplaying, or even giving erroneous reasons why this airport seizure has happened.

I wonder what other military action is being taken just now, in conjunction with the Mexico border? We shall see, but in the meantime, please follow the Twitter link below of independent reporter Corey Lynn, and…

If you want real intel, tune in to the update from Thomas Williams this afternoon/tonight at 7:30 EDT/4:30 Pacific for the Truth, Honor & Integrity Show. Listen here or here.


The cabal is desperate to provoke war, but Russia ain’t taking the bait and are stating no one sane will go there.

Moscow ‘ready for larger-scale provocations’ by the West, says Lavrov

Putin has retained his sense of humour, however. I thought his remark humourous, at least.

After nuclear holocaust, we’ll go to heaven as martyrs; attackers will die as sinners – Putin

If any nation decides to attack Russia with nuclear weapons, it may end life on Earth; but unlike the aggressors, the Russians are sure to go to heaven, President Vladimir Putin has said.

If we’re all going to die from a nuclear holocaust, I hope people will learn how to pronounce ‘nuclear’ properly, just so the history books are accurate.


More outages… this time with Amazon. Some feel these rolling comms interruptions are veiled threats by the dark to show us just what they can and might do. Could be factions flexing their muscles, too. My Internet went down for a few minutes again yesterday afternoon. It’s so commonplace I expect it. We’re at the point now if it didn’t, I’d miss it.

A Starship crew member reports the following anomaly on television October 16th in New York State…

Another weird thing happened on TV on Tuesday evening, at least here in central NYS – the much ballyhoo’d “The Connors” was supposed to be on – which I didn’t plan to watch anyway – but I’m always checking the TV guide to see what’s on and at 8PM prime tv time, NBC, CBS and ABC were all off the air with a notice to “not call, we are aware of the problem” message – however all my other directv channels worked.

That’s a first, isn’t it? It sounds like there is some activity related to the lamestream media’s ability to broadcast and that “they” are not in control. Testing, perhaps. Very interesting. Thanks, K, for the heads up. I’m expecting some very enlightening announcements in the near future.

U.S. Official Arrested, Criminally Charged For Leaking Confidential Documents in Russia Probe


Need a laugh? Those damn Russians are interfering in our election again? Not!

(Note: Make sure you are on the registered voting list for your district. We have heard that some people are finding they were not on the list and had to take steps to correct it before they could vote.)

Here’s where the problem in American elections lies. “I see dead people.”  We’ve heard in the past that “someone” has loaded oodles of names of the deceased onto voting lists. I wonder who got to cast their vote…

Seriously, though… if the only way you can win an election is to cheat, it’s time to throw in the towel. Just leave the planet.

Tom Fitton on CBN: 3.5 MILLION ‘Ghost Voters’ on Voter Rolls–‘That’s where you get fraud’

Maryland Implies Judicial Watch Has Ties to Russian Agents in Shameful Effort to Hide Voter Rolls Mess

Maryland officials have resorted to desperate measures to avoid giving Judicial Watch voter registration records—as required by federal law—by suggesting Judicial Watch is connected to Russian government agents.

The absurd implication was made in a federal court document involving a lawsuit filed last summer as part of a national Election Integrity Project to clean up voter rolls. Maryland is one of 11 states with more registered voters than citizens of voting age, according to U.S. Census Bureau data examined as part of Judicial Watch’s ongoing investigation.

In notice-of-violation letters Judicial Watch warned it would sue the 11 states if the problems weren’t fixed. In Maryland’s case, there are more registered voters in Montgomery County, the state’s most populous, than citizens over the age of 18. Besides threatening legal action, Judicial Watch’s notice letter to election officials requested access to Montgomery County voter registration lists to evaluate efforts to ensure the accuracy of eligible voter rolls during the past two years.

Section 8(i) of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA) authorizes and entitles Judicial Watch to inspect and copy the requested voter lists. Maryland officials refuse to provide them, claiming that state law restricts the release of voter registration information to Maryland registered voters. The NVRA trumps any reservation the state may have and Judicial Watch is confident it will obtain the records.

Nevertheless, Judicial Watch had to sue in U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland to gain access to the voter registration lists under federal law, noting that Section 8(i) of the NVRA contains no requirement that only an individual person or a registered voter may request the documents that the statute describes.

Accordingly, Section 8(i) authorizes and entitles Judicial Watch to inspect and copy the requested voter lists. Maryland officials have chosen to dodge the law, refusing to provide the records and stonewalling with outlandish assertions during the pretrial discovery process. In a federal court document filed on behalf of State Administrator of Elections Linda H. Lamone, Maryland Attorney General Brian E. Frosh tries to associate Judicial Watch with Russian government agents.

Here is the excerpt straight from the interrogatory filed in court by Maryland’s attorney general: “Identify any Russian nationals or agents of the Russian government with whom you have communicated concerning this lawsuit, Judicial Watch’s request for a copy of the list of registered voters in Montgomery County, Maryland, the purposes for which you are seeking a copy of the list of registered voters in Montgomery County, Maryland, and/or any broader effort to obtain copies of similar lists from other jurisdictions of which Judicial Watch’s request for a copy of the list of registered voters in Montgomery County, Maryland, is a part.”

This shows that Maryland officials are using a baseless allegation to retaliate against an organization and its supporters because of their conservative political views, a violation of the First Amendment.

This week Judicial Watch responded to the plainly frivolous request as part of the pretrial process. There is not a shred of evidence or allegation in any pleading, document or even news report of any communications or associations between Judicial Watch and Russian nationals or agents of the Russian government.

Maryland officials knew that when they made the egregious request for documents they believed did not exist solely to associate Judicial Watch with an inflammatory, partisan fight making national headlines. This reflects negatively on Lamone and the Maryland State Board of Elections and both should be ashamed. “It’s completely outrageous,” said Robert Popper, director of Judicial Watch’s Election Integrity Project and a former deputy chief of the Voting Section of the Civil Rights Division at the Justice Department. “A government agency is taking Democratic talking points to beat someone up for suing them.”

Other states that Judicial Watch is forcing to clean up voter rolls include Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina and Tennessee. In California, Judicial Watch found more registered voters than voting-age citizens in 11 counties, including Imperial (102%), Lassen (102%), Los Angeles (112%), Monterey (104%), San Diego (138%), San Francisco (114%), San Mateo (111%), Santa Cruz (109%), Solano (111%), Stanislaus (102%), and Yolo (110%).

Under Section 8 of the NVRA, states are required to make a reasonable effort to remove the names of ineligible voters from official lists due to “the death of the registrant” or “a change in the residence of the registrant,” and requires states to ensure noncitizens are not registered to vote. Many states don’t bother conducting reasonable voter registration list maintenance as mandated under the NVRA.

Closing off on a positive note… thanks L.
