NEXTRUSH UNPLUGGED: SATURDAY NIGHT VERSION LOOKING BACK AND FORTH
Welcome to the weekend, the last weekend of 2019 moving into 2020 in just a few days.
The Queen's honors list in the UK with a massive list of names and oops, a thousand addresses mistakenly published.
Sir Elton John gets special status as a Companion of Honour which only 65 people can hold at one time.
Olivia Newton-John will be made a dame (she received an Order of the British Empire in 1979) for "services to charity, cancer research and entertainment"
And here's Olivia with Sir Cliff Richard performing in 1980.....

Hey the name of that song "WILL IT GO ROUND IN CIRCLES" as we remember hearing it back in the 1970's from Billy Preston reminds me about Kim Jong-un and the North Korean regime with its year end deadline for the US to lift sanctions in order for nuclear talks to continue.
They suggested a "gift" for President Trump. What will the gift be and if the gift is a rocket launch "will it go round in circles, will it fly high like a bird up in the sky" and we may see that come New Year's Day.
Over in Israel the notion of a low-level conflict with Iran that's likely to get up to a higher-level.
Defense reporter Amos Harel of "Haaretz" offers up an analysis as he considers what the Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff is saying.....
ANALYSIS: ISRAEL-IRAN COLLISION ALMOST INEVITABLE, IDF CHIEF MAKES CLEAR
General Kochavi says things openly but masks what's going on under the surface including Israel's ties to the Gulf Arab kingdoms led by Saudi Arabia. A lot of people here, there and everyone would be upset by that. Especially the grass roots Saudi people who are infused with the ideology that Osama bin Laden unleashed on us all and the Saudi Air Force lieutenant unleashed on the Americans in Pensacola, Florida earlier this month.
SAVE ISRAEL SUPPORT THE KINGDOM OF AL-QAEDA
That includes the jihadists of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf unleashed in places like Libya and Syria in recent years.
I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO DARE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TO TELL ABSOLUTE TRUTH TO US ALL BUT HE DOESN'T
He has to propagandize as he did after the terrorist attack he would not call a terrorist attack happened in Pensacola and again last Thursday as he tweeted about Iran, Russia and Syria supposedly planning a massacre in northwestern Syria's Idlib.
He avoids truth to mislead us about the consistent US post 9/11 policy of fighting the organization called "Al Qaeda" while embracing and exploiting the movement, the ideology of "Al Qaeda" with ties to the Saudis and use of their jihadists in various conflicts in the Middle East region.
TO THE POLITICALLY OBSESSED I CAN HEAR IT COMING NOW THE DEMOCRATS ARE THE EVIL ENEMY BUT AT LEAST ONE OF THEM HAS HAD GUTS TO TELL TRUTH DONALD TRUMP WON'T, TULSI GABBARD.
BUT OF COURSE SHE IS MARGINALIZED AND CALLED A 'RUSSIAN ASSET' ETC. ETC.
THE MONEY AND POWER OF SAUDI ARABIA CANNOT BE UNDERESTIMATED AND THE DEMOCRATS GOT THEIR HAND IN IT JUST LIKE DONALD J. TRUMP DOES.
JOE BIDEN RUSHED TO THE KINGDOM WHEN HE WAS VP AND THE KING DIED. HE WAS FASTER THAN BARACK OBAMA WHO GOT DISSED TO BEING TOO SLOW TO JOIN UP WITH THE MOURNING.
WHEN DO WE GET THE THIRD PARTY THAT SPEAKS THE TRUTH? IMPEACHMENT SERVES THE INTERESTS OF OUR UNIPARTIES WELL IN KEEPING US DISTRACTED FROM WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON.
I'M REMINDED OF SOMETHING SENATOR RAND PAUL, REPUBLICAN OF KENTUCKY, SAID IN THE MIDST OF THIS IMPEACHMENT DRAMA.
THE GIST OF IT WE BORROW MONEY FROM CHINA TO SEND IT TO UKRAINE.
THAT'S THE BIGGER SCANDAL AND OF COURSE HUNTER BIDEN PULLED AWAY FROM HIS BOARD MEMBERSHIP OF A CHINESE COMPANY WHEN ALL THIS SCANDAL BROKE OUT IN WASHINGTON.
SAUDI AND CHINESE INFLUENCE ARE HIDDEN BY THE DRAMA ABOUT RUSSIAN INFLUENCE OVER OUR COUNTRY.
IN A RELATED NOTE I'M LOOKING AT AN APPLE JUICE CONTAINER FOR AN EXPIRATION DATE AND IT SAYS THE CONCENTRATE FOR THE JUICE COMES FROM CHINA AND UKRAINE.
The Iranians touting some naval drills in the Sea of Oman involving Chinese and Russian warships. The four day exercise began Friday......LINK

Is it real, is it fake? Well for what its worth its on "Southfront" and its video of Syrian mercenaries loyal to Turkey on the ground in Tripoli, Libya today to help the Government of National Accord backed by Turkey fight the Libyan National Army.
Read it and see it at the link.....SOUTHFRONT-SYRIAN MERCENARIES IN LIBYA
The story we have heard is that Turkey is planning to send troops to Libya with President Erdogan saying that following a visit to the neighboring country of Tunisia but "Bloomberg News" put out a story saying that the Syrian proxy forces were going to Libya.
The Libyan National Army backed by the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, France and Russia as they try to take total control in Libya by taking out the GNA in the western part of the country.
The fight for energy supplies is on.
Russia said its going to use its own pipe laying ship to finish the Nord Stream 2 project next year now that US sanctions are forcing European companies out. That will bring natural gas direct from Russia to Germany.
And the US government is not happy at all about that because its cuts the USA out of supplying energy to Germany.
"energy security"
the catchphrase which means US business interests must be protected, US market share in the world with the power of sanctions. After sanctions the next step is war.
On Thursday Israel, Cyprus and Greece signing off on a Mediterranean natural gas pipeline project to bring natural gas to Italy.
The idea is that offshore drilling around Cyprus will produce natural gas for Europe.
Turkey claiming a lot of that off shore territory as its own and sending in its own exploration vessels.
And the US
"energy security"
agenda is in the room as well.
President Trump has signed an EastMed Act to support the project.....AMERICAN CHAMBERS HAIL EAST MED ACT SIGNING BY PRESIDENT TRUMP

Wow I picked out Sammy Davis Jr. doing a live television performance for Hugh Hefner's "Playboy After Dark" show as a way to lead into what's coming next.
The show that Hugh Hefner put on TV stations around the country back in the 1960's and 70's was originally called "Playboy's Penthouse" with the notion of a cocktail party on the top floor, the penthouse, of a building.
This was hip, this was swingin, this is was livin or was it?
Well, regardless, the penthouse cocktail party of Hugh Hefner's television show was transformed into prime time on the "Laugh-In" series of over the top toxic comedy as I reflect on it.
This segment from a "Laugh-In" penthouse cocktail party has Three Dog Night performing "Joy To The World" in between the jokes.and its later on in the series with Richard Dawson and Larry Hovis coming over from "Hogan's Heroes" after that series ended.
Hovis is a politician saying:
DOES GRETA THUNBERG APPROVE OF ALL THIS? MY GUT SAYS 'CLIMATE CHANGE' MAY INVOLVE AMONG OTHER THINGS PROPAGANDA FOR BUSINESS PURPOSES THAT INCLUDES OIL, SOLAR, GAS ETC. OUT THERE TRYING TO HURT THE COAL INDUSTRY.
JUST A SENSE OF IT BEING THAT. MY STRONG SENSE OF IT.
