Thursday June 8th, a day of reckoning? Qatar mayhem, snap elections in UK, Comey debacle

What an odd turn of events? Today, that is. On June 8th 2017, we are at a cross-section. Where to from here?

In UK, the Tory struggle to be re-elected and force a 'hard' Brexit. Unfortunately for the PM May, recent terror attacks and bad PR has given the Labour Party a slim chance to claim majority of MPs in this snap election. If the conservatives, still leading most of the polls, should lose, the whole Brexit situation would become even more nastier a mess. Media is in defense mode. Protect the assets.

In the Middle East tensions are rising. First of all, the situation in Qatar is reaching a climax. The 24 hour ultimatum given by the Saudis is about to end. After that we can expect action. Qatar is preparing its military to respond.

Basically:

1. Renounce Iran
2. Abandon support to Hamas and Muslim brotherhood
3. Cancel al-Jazeera
4. Apologize for 'abuses' made by the TV channel

Yesterday's ISIS attacks in mainland Iran play into this latest crisis between the Sunni and Shi'a states in the region. Iran blamed to retaliate Saudi Arabia. Iran's willingness to aid Qatar might have provoked this hidden cell to attack the Khomeini monument and storm the parliament building in Tehran.

 

In the US, the 'yped Comey senate intelligence 'earing is about to take place. So far all the revelations have turned out to much ado about nothing. Reality Winner's latest NSA leak can hardly sway the public view of this charade. Trust in conventional media and party politics in dipping even more. I'm positive that Comey won't rock the boat since he was indeed protecting the Clinton's misdeeds.

As for the Asian front, North Korea is up and at it with even more ballistic missile tests really testing nerves of local superstates and oversee antagonists.

Basically today is like any other day. Although tensions are rising all over the world, most of it is hype and will dissipate eventually when we stop paying any attention to it. Some of these turn of events are intertwined, but because they appear to happen simultaneously the public consciousness cannot adapt in time to react and respond with deeper thought. Prepare for a bumpy ride.
