North Korea THREAT: US senator's stern WARNING US era of appeasement is OVER as WW3 LOOMS

NORTH KOREA is facing increasingly tough rhetoric from the United States, with one US senator

warning that under Donald Trump the era of appeasement of Kim Jong-un's regime is over.

North Korea has given Donald Trump their attention, as the President abandons the US appeasement

mentality of the last 30 years, said US Senator.

Lindsey Graham, the senator for South Carolina, said he was "excited about what could happen",

in an interview on Fox News.

He said: "For the last 30 years we've had kind of an appeasement mentality to North

Korea.

"The President has told the North Korean regime that I don't want a war but I will

stop you from building an ICBM with a nuclear weapon on top that could hit the American

homeland.

"If I have to go to war to stop you I will.

In 2017, North Korea held a number of missile tests to check its nuclear capability, and

by the end of year the rogue state said it had weapons capable of reaching the US.

However since January 2018, the North Korean leader has changed his tune and said he's

willing to denuclearise under certain decisions and agreed to meet with the US President.

Graham said: "I think Trump has got their attention, he's convinced China that he's

serious and he's got them to the table - no one else has been able to do it.

North Korea's despotic leader visited Beijing on Sunday, in Kim Jong-un's first foreign

trip since becoming leader in 2011.

He arrived in China in a bullet-proof train known as the 'Kim Jong-un Express', which

was heavily-fortified and packed with bodyguards.

Graham is certain that Donald Trump is the reason for Mr Kim's visit to the Chinese

capital.

Graham said: "Jimmy Carter is upset with Bolton but we've tried it the Jimmy Carter

way for about 30 years.

"Let's try it the Donald Trump/John Bolton way - I'm very excited about what could

happen."

Mr Kim is set to meet President Trump in May.

Japanese parliament passes record U.S. $926 bil. budget bill - Duration: 1:57.

Japanese lawmakers have passed a record budget bill with high social and military spending.

The passage comes amid skepticism of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's ability to push fiscal

reform as he faces a crisis over suspected cronyism.

Ro Aram reports.

The budget bill totaling a record 926 billion U.S. dollars was passed by the upper house

of Japan's parliament on Wednesday.

The budget is for the new fiscal year, which starts on Sunday, and is focused heavily on

social security and military spending.

Outlays for social security will rise to an all-time high of 311 billion dollars, accounting

for a third of the budget plan.

The large welfare spending is to respond to Japan's aging population, which has made it

difficult for the debt-ridden nation to rein in social security expenditures, such as pensions

and medical costs.

Military spending has also been earmarked at a record high of 49 billion dollars, rising

every year since Abe took office in 2012.

Abe has cited threats from North Korea as a need to strengthen his country's military

and has repeatedly called for an amendment to Japan's pacifist Constitution.

Some of the military budget will be used to acquire U.S.-developed missile defense systems.

With the passage of the budget bills, attention is shifting to debate on a mid-year fiscal

reform plan, which will come around June.

That will likely be aimed at trying to rein in Japan's debt that currently stands as the

highest in the industrialized world, amounting to more than twice the size of the country's

economy.

Failure to curb spending has cast doubt on Abe's will to back fiscal reform.

He has already pushed back a fiscal 2020 budget-balancing goal, opting to raise spending on child welfare

and education instead.

China Moves to Destroy US Dollar As They Launch the Gold backed - Duration: 4:57.

China Moves to Destroy US Dollar As They Launch the Gold-backed Petro-Yuan

In a massive move against the global dominance of the U.S. dollar, China�s highly anticipated

Petro-Yuan has been launched in Shanghai.

With China being the world�s largest consumer of oil, this new currency is an international

game-changer that was a predicted move by China to directly compete�and subsequently

devalue�the US dollar.

Analysts call the plan, announced by Beijing in September, a huge move against the dollar�s

global dominance � and reserve currency status.

The Chinese government reportedly plans to allow the crude oil futures contract priced

in yuan to be fully convertible into gold.

As TFTP reported at the time, in addition to serving as a hedging tool for Chinese companies,

the contract will allow for increased use of the yuan in trade settlement.

These contracts will thus enable China�s trading partners to pay with gold or to convert

yuan into gold without the necessity to keep money in Chinese assets or turn it into US

dollars, according to Bloomberg.

Essentially, the new benchmark will allow exporters, such as Russia, Iran or Venezuela

to avoid US sanctions by trading oil in yuan that is convertible to gold � thereby negating

the hegemony of the petrodollar.

On Monday, trading of the new oil futures contracts for September settlement started

on the Shanghai International Energy Exchange at 440.20 yuan ($69.70) per barrel, reports

Chinese daily the South China Morning Post.

Some 18,540 lots have reportedly been sold and purchased so far.

As Bloomberg reports, the Petro-Yuan is a direct challenge to the dollar�s dominance.

However, whether or not it will have an immediate effect remains to be seen.

Shady Shaher, head of macro strategy at Dubai-based lender Emirates NBD PJSC, says it makes sense

in the long run to look at transactions in yuan because China is a key market, but it

will take years.

Bloomberg Gadfly columnist David Fickling argues that China doesn�t have �nearly

the influence in the oil market needed to carry out such a coup.� On the other hand,

paying in yuan for oil could become part of President Xi Jinping�s �One Belt, One

Road� initiative to develop ties across Eurasia, including the Middle East.

Chinese participation in Saudi Aramco�s planned initial public offering could help

sway Saudi opinion toward accepting yuan, which is used in only about 2 percent of global

payments.

Leading economist, Carl Weinberg, managing director at High Frequency Economics, goes

even further, predicting a major paradigm shift.

Weinberg told CNBC last year that China will likely �compel� Saudi Arabia to abandon

the petrodollar, and instead, begin trading oil in yuan�a move he says is likely to

precipitate the rest of the oil market following suit and abandoning the U.S. dollar as the

global reserve currency.

At the BRICs summit last year, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed Russia�s support

for the Petro-Yuan to specifically challenge the �unfairness� of the US dollar�s

global dominance.

�Russia shares the BRICS countries� concerns over the unfairness of the global financial

and economic architecture, which does not give due regard to the growing weight of the

emerging economies.

We are ready to work together with our partners to promote international financial regulation

reforms and to overcome the excessive domination of the limited number of reserve currencies.�

As the respected journalist/geopolitical analyst Pepe Escobar explains: �to overcome the

excessive domination of the limited number of reserve currencies� is the politest way

of stating what the BRICS have been discussing for years now; how to bypass the US dollar,

as well as the petrodollar.

�It is more of a game changer for the US.

As soon as other nations have a real credible alternative to the US dollar, they can dump

dollars and switch to the yuan which can spark a dollar crisis.

If that happens, not only will there be inflation from the tariffs, but also from the flood

of dollars,� Ann Lee, Adjunct Professor of Economics and Finance at New York University

and author of the book �What the US Can Learn From China�, said.

IG Horowitz Announces Review of DOJ and FBI FISA Procedures 'Related to a Certain U.S. Person' - Duration: 2:27.

Inspector General Horowitz Announces Review of DOJ and FBI FISA Procedures 'Related

to a Certain U.S. Person'

On Wednesday afternoon, Inspector General Michael Horowitz announced his office will

be reviewing the FBI and DOJ's procedures 'related to a certain U.S. person.'

The Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General said in a statement:

DOJ OIG Announces Initiation of Review

Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz announced today that,

in response to requests from the Attorney General and Members of Congress, the Office

of the Inspector General (OIG) will initiate a review that will examine the Justice Department's

and the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) compliance with legal requirements,

and with applicable DOJ and FBI policies and procedures, in applications filed with the

U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) relating to a certain U.S. person.

As part of this examination, the OIG also will review information that was known to

the DOJ and the FBI at the time the applications were filed from or about an alleged FBI confidential

source.

Additionally, the OIG will review the DOJ's and FBI's relationship and communications

with the alleged source as they relate to the FISC applications.

If circumstances warrant, the OIG will consider including other issues that may arise

during the course of the review.

The Office of Inspector General will also review the DOJ's and FBI's relationship

and communications with the alleged source as they relate to the FISC applications and

by alleged source, they are talking about dossier author Christopher Steele.

In early January, Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Senator Lindsey Graham

(R-SC) sent a letter to Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray demanding

they investigate if Christopher Steele lied to federal authorities.

The letter was the first criminal referral from Congress.

The much-anticipated Inspector General report is set to be released soon.

Developing….
