Tuesday, Dec. 5th 2017: Panic of the Elites - Special counsel Robert Mueller is going above and beyond the "Russian collusion" scope to find anything they can use against Trump as the elites panic, realizing their control over humanity is coming to an end. They've already lost the narrative ever since the public became aware of Mueller's own dealings with Russia. Dr. Ron Paul joins Alex Jones live via Skype to reveal what's next for humanity in light of North Korean tentions, and he weighs in on Mueller's investigation. NSA whistleblower Bill Binney explains how the elites will attempt to regain control over civilization. Paul Joseph Watson hosts the fourth and final hour.
Today's War Room focuses on the ongoing war in the swamp against President Trump and the inevitable backlash exposing the swamp creatures for who they are. More names are being exposed as bias on Mueller's special counsel, and fake news outlets continue to report things that don't exist, only to have to apologize the next day. Also, more conservatives are being attacked by rabid liberals in the streets, fueled by lies spread by fake liberal media.

MSNBC Gives In To Disingenuous Right-Wing Smear, Fires Sam Seder The network fired Seder, a contributor, after an alt-right personality publicized one of his old tweets. MSNBC will not renew its contract with contributor Sam Seder, seemingly giving in to a smear campaign that centered on one of his old tweets. Seder confirmed the news on his radio show, “The Majority Report,” on Tuesday. “MSNBC and I have decided to part ways based upon their firing me from their network, therefore I decided not to go there anymore,” he said. The Wrap, citing an unnamed source, first reported Monday that MSNBC had decided to sever ties with Seder after alt-right social media personality Mike Cernovich dug up and publicized an old tweet from Seder last month. In the since-deleted tweet from 2009, Seder wrote, “Don’t care re Polanski, but I hope if my daughter is ever raped it is by an older truly talented man w/a great sense of mise en scene.” Far from making light of Polanski, it is clear that Seder was mocking prominent writers who were urging leniency for the convicted child rapist. A Medium post that Cernovich wrote in November was titled “MSNBC Contributor Sam Seder Endorses Polanki’s [sic] Sex Crimes in Now Deleted Tweet,” although Cernovich acknowledged that “some are saying Seder was making a joke or being sarcastic.” Seder released a video on Monday denouncing Cernovich’s attempt to take him down with an out-of-context tweet. He did not directly address his contract with MSNBC. [...] https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/sam-seder-msnbc-fired_us_5a25c064e4b086e4e503ce2f
