BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — The Trump administration on Friday finalized changes to sweeping federal land use plans for Western States to ease energy industry restrictions in a way officials say will...
The changes by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management will guide future efforts to conserve greater sage grouse, ground-dwelling birds that range across portions of 11 Western states.
Environmentalists have said the widely-anticipated move will undermine protections for the chicken-sized bird. They would allow more oil and gas drilling and other activities on grouse habitat.
But the administration secured key backing from Democratic and Republican governors in affected states.

The brazen plot against Trump by the Obama-era FBI and DOJ continues, enabled by a complicit media
Fox News seems to cover that. ATS seems to cover it. Breitbart. Daily Caller....etc.
Obama is not currently POTUS. He is not deal making with oil/gas/coal to plunder BLM Federal land. Obama is not appointing cabinet heads and acting cabinet heads. He is not hiring and firing Federal judges and prosecutors to skew "Justice" in his favor. No! Trump is the one doing those POTUS things.

Yeah sure, just like any country, we have a few rough areas. There's also always going to be young people who group up and go out and stir up some s#.
Sometimes these young people may even happen to be of middle eastern descent. But to claim we're having some big problem with specifically "muslim immigrants", is total news to me.
IDK, maybe the person who told you that is just regurgitating the nonsense they heard on talk back radio or something.

Y'all know all the talk about how big the cabal are on their 'symbolism' yeah?
I'm sure the autists here can easily see the remarkable amount of 'symbolism' involved in this one event that's happened in New Zealand
a mass shooting at a Muslim mosque in Christchurch (!!)
which (obviously) at prayer time is containing Only Muslim men! I could go on and on but you get the idea. AFAIK it's also some special Islamic 'holy day/time' etc ... this "event" is Full of symbolism!
and it 'sits wrong' with me just like LV did ... hey does anyone Know what happened there?
That was another Media Distraction while 'the magic was done' in front of your eyes!
What have we missed?
If this isn't an 'organised attempt' to disrupt the MSM "news cycle" IDK what is.
First of all, having been in Australia for the past two years, I can say that there has been SFA 'news' about the "general state of US politics" AT ALL! It's almost like it's just been 'forgotten'! Oh we get all the Hollweird crap but nada about ANY of the politics currently occurring there. You have to dig deep into the internetz just to find some 'opinion', let alone "fact"!
The Oz MSM certainly aren't talking about anything but this 'shooting in NZ', BUT it's narrative has become "those poor Muslims everywhere, it's such a tragedy yada yada ... which = Not. A. Word. about anything else!
Le 'perfect excuse' NOT to cover 'other things' and having 'plausible deniability' in the future when people ask (the obvious) "But Why Didn't you even mention the Facts about the events which occurred today in the US 'govt/courts'
BTW Rupert Murdoch was born an Aussie and inherited his 'media empire', which he discovered (back in the 1970's) he could 'utilize' his media network to influence political events, e.g. "who got elected" simply by using his 'networks' to support those he wanted to support while denouncing those who he 'had no reason to' support ... and so he wouldn't.
This was the beginning of The End of "honest and unbiased journalism" worldwide! During this period the C_A used their 'powers' to have one of The Greatest Prime Ministers of the country, a guy named Gough Whitlam -- a man who did More for the people than any of those before him
Gough was 'ousted' by the Queen's 'representative', the Governor General -- who is the only person who has the power to "remove the Prime Minister" from their 'office'.
His "crime" was to insist the US reveal to him WTF they are doing at their "base" at Pine Gap in central Australia ... purportedly where the C_A's main spying headquarters were (are?) based -- it was where the very first Keyhole Satellites were monitored and the data decrypted --- Remember Christopher
Why do I think this? For several reasons, but Q et al is The News the MSM do not want to cover in any way!
It has got to the point in The Plan where 'enough people are aware/awake it becomes "statistically impossible" to Stop the 'spread' of the events currently occurring in the US courts and government. Even using these tired old tactics of some "terrorist tragedy" to evoke public 'FUD' I think the 'balance point' of public opinion has changed enough that I doubt many will be 'interested' in the 'scripts' currently being read by (so called) reporters/journalists worldwide
And Right Now we are at the 'start of the exposure" with previously 'sealed' documents and Proof 'coming to light' which is The Last Thing the DS want and have been trying extremely hard to stop or hinder. This is a Desperate attempt at Distraction.
From what?
Hey, I'm not from the US, but can anyone tell me "what happened in the US courts today that were "significant/important"?
Anyone? Does anyone know what's happening in the US today?
And this 'supposed' self admitted 'racist', a lone wolf who until only recently' had been "traveling the world" and "just decided to stay in NZ" where he suddenly turned into this anti Muslim fanatic with access to guns and ammo, a car, GoPro etc etc
My 'problem' is that unless he's some rich kid OR being financed by some 'group' is yet to be mentioned, although apparently "he says he acted alone of his own volution", How the hell did he a) afford to behave as he did? i.e. travel freely, "decide to stay in NZ" , but a car, internet provision (requires ID etc) get guns etc etc? (did he have a job? GF?)
Why stay in NZ? Unless it was planned Again "it's reported he said it was an "impulsive decision" BUT there's NO WAY you can do something like this "spontaneously" as a recent arrival to NZ..
Sheesh I have bikie friends there and if I tried Really Hard with LOTS of bucks to spend (i.e.$2-5k per gun on the black market) a car, food and accommodation etc etc and it would take me at least a month to get all those things together starting from scratch -- SO nake him an Aussie and it helps 'explain' his Kiwi connections ... although the whole story it still stinks to high heavens to me
TLR: Does Anyone Know what's happening (happened?) in the US today? Anything significant?and BTW. Does anyone know what's happening in the US today?
As an Australian who has lived in NZ for a few years, a land once known for it's 'fierce warriors' and No doubt they were
The Maori were The Only 'national group' (or 'residents' rather than 'race') of people who successfully and consistently repelled the British attempts to "steal their land, (which is also their "mana" or 'spirit' just like the American Indians and the Aussie aborigines and others, just the "idea" of "owning the land" was something they couldn't get their heads around!
As their 'mana' (spirit) is directly connected to the 'motherland' and so in a sense, they were "selling their souls" IF they 'sold/traded' their land to the British.
And it mucked with their heads that the British DID! (sell their land ergo they sold their 'mana'/souls for money!!
"money" Another foreign concept to the Maori! ... And the Maori had heard that some British people HAD in Fact, "sold their souls to satan for money!",, as we now know they indeed did/do!

So you don't do tact and common decency?
I just wish that posters who are going to spout off about false flags and staged events and other such stuff whenever a tragedy like this happens might have the decency, out of respect and sympathy for the dead, injured, their family and loved ones, to have a bit of a decent pause first. If they really feel that they have to post such drivel in the first place, that is.

And CNN still has a gigantic headline of the shooting, and not a single mention of the Strzok/Page testimony.
FOX was running the same story this morning between 6 and 7AM.
I was flipping between the two and it was nonstop shooting coverage on both networks.

It hit the news yesterday so there should be talking points for the next few days about the corruption being exposed in the Obama government.
Now the MSM who don't want this information out, has a new narrative to air 24/7. That was the point of the OP.

The person I know lives close to one of the areas where they have been shuffling immigrants in. That is in OZ, not NZ.
No, the person is not regurgitating nonsense, she is hearing about it from events in the local area that are happening. I have not messaged the person in about six months now, so I do not know how it has been late.. It is not as bad as some of the other European countries have had it though. Of course governments want to cover up this failed forced integration of way different cultures they are trying to employ, but that is business as usual

I think what OP was saying is the US news is 100% focused on the NZ tragedy and ignoring all the newly unsealed documents showing the FBI and Obama DOJ broke dozens of laws on their phony investigation of Trump and cover up of Hillary.
To take it a step further, was the tragedy in NZ orchestrated at just this time to give the MSM something else to focus on. Just like when Clinton bombed an aspirin factory to distract from his Monica news cycles.
This is a conspiracy site, and it is a conspiracy.

It feels like I've wasted precious time skimming through this thread looking for an answer.
Here is something for you, it took me a minute to dig up.
"But New Zealand has been chosen because we are not a place where violent extremism exists." As states by the prime minister of New Zealand. Chosen by whom ? There you go.
