The Responsibility to Protect the World … from the United States

Global Research, January 15, 2018

CounterPunch 12 January 2018

One of the most ingenious propaganda weapons ever developed is that the powerful nations of the West—led by the United States—have a moral responsibility to use military force to protect the rights of people being repressed by their governments. This “responsibility to protect” (R2P) always had a dubious legal standing, but its moral justification also required a psychological and historical disengagement from the bloody reality of the 500-hundred-year history of U.S. and European colonialism, slavery, genocide and torture that created the “West.”

This violent, lawless Pan-European colonial/capitalist project continues today under the hegemony of the U.S. empire. This then begs the questions of who really needs the protection and who protects the peoples of the world from the United States and its allies? The only logical, principled and strategic response to this question is citizens of the empire must reject their imperial privileges and join in opposing ruling elites exploiting labor and plundering the Earth. To do that, however, requires breaking with the intoxicating allure of cross-class, bi-partisan “white identity politics.”

Neocons like William Kristol, Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Pearl were the driving forces in pushing for the war in Iraq. They understood if they wanted to sell war, “Americans” needed to believe the conflict was about values, not interests. The neocons dusted off and put a new face on that old rationalization for colonialism—the white man’s burden. Interventions were to bring democracy and freedom to those people who were struggling to be just like their more advanced models in the white West. Liberal interventionists further developed those ideas into “humanitarian interventionism” and the “responsibility to protect.”

The fact that the United States and Europe can wrap themselves in the flag of morality, practice savior politics and get away with it is a testament to the enduring psychopathology of white supremacist ideology.

The most extreme expressions of this cognitive dissonance occurred during the Obama administration, when the notion of U.S. exceptionalism was used to justify continuing the barbarism of the Bush administration’s so-called War on Terror. With this justification and the outrageous assertion that it was defending democracy, the U.S./EU/NATO axis of domination committed crimes against humanity and war crimes that resulted in the deaths of millions, while millions more were displaced and ancient cities, nations and peoples were destroyed.

The result? International Gallup and Pew research polls have consistently shown the peoples of the world consider the United States the greatest threat to world peace on the planet.

National Security Strategy Under Trump: More of the Same

When the Trump administration released its National Security Strategy, Liberal pundits suggested it was a significantly different than any previous U.S. strategy. But beyond some specific references to putting “America” and its citizens first in relationship to the economy, and the reactionary stances of tightening border security and enforcing strict immigration policies, Trump’s strategy did not stray much from the post-Cold War strategy of the preceding years.

The difference that did exist was more in style than substance. The Trump administration completely dispensed with all pretexts used by previous administrations. Even domestic law, like the War Powers Act that was ignored by the Obama administration continues to be of no concern for the new Trump administration. Now it is Trump’s “America first” with no concern for international law or accepted standards of behavior.

Unchecked by the countervailing power of the Soviet Union, the bi-partisan National Security Strategy produced in the 1990s that committed the U.S. state to pursue policies that would ensure continued U.S. economic, political and military hegemony through the 21st century—the “new American century”—is still the overall strategic objective of this administration.

Even explicitly naming China and Russia as “competition” that threatens to harm the country’s security was not that much of a departure since the centerpiece of U.S policy has been checking any state that challenged U.S. power in any region. The Trump administration named threats to U.S. interests—North Korea in Asia, Russia in Eurasia, Iran in West Asia, with jihadist groups included in case the United States needed a War on Terror (WOT) justification for U.S. interventions anywhere in the world.

While Neocons and liberal interventionists in previous administrations sugarcoated U.S. geo-strategic objectives to mask hegemony, the Trump rhetoric is crude, direct and unambiguously aggressive. Protecting U.S. interests in the 21st century means relying on military aggression, war and subversion.

Building the U.S. anti-war movement as the responsibility to protect from Empire

Fifty years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stated the obvious: he United States was the greatest purveyor of violence in the world. He also said the public allowing this violence would lead to a kind of national spiritual death that would continue to make the U.S. state a danger to the world.

That spiritual death has not quite happened completely. Yet accepting the “inevitability” of violence and the necessity for waging war is now more deeply ingrained in the collective consciousness of individuals in the United States than it was 50 years ago when King warned of the deep malady of U.S. society. For most of the 21st century, the United States has been at war. Culturally, mass shootings, the wars on drugs and terror, violence and war as entertainment, livestreamed videos of horrendous police-executed murders as well as of a head of state being sodomized with a knife have resulted in what Henry Giroux refers to as a “culture of cruelty.

But the very fact that the authorities need to lie to the people with fairy tales of the responsibility to protect in order to give moral coverage for the waging of war is an acknowledgement that they understand that there is enough humanity left with the public that it would reject U.S. warmongering if it was only seen as advancing narrow national interests.

It is this remaining moral core—and the objective interests of the clear majority of the people to be in opposition to war—that provides the foundation for reviving the modern anti-war movement.

Baltimore was the site of the rebellion in response to Freddie Gray’s murder by the domestic military we refer to as “the police.” There, a couple of hundred activists will convene January 12 to kick off a new campaign to close all U.S. foreign bases. This gathering is the result of a new coalition of forces—both old and new—to revive the U.S. anti-war movement. This conference comes on the heels of another meeting that took place just a few months ago in Washington, D.C., where some of the same forces came together to kick-off a campaign to “divest from the war machine.”

Strategically these efforts are designed to be the first steps toward building the confidence, institutional strength and programmatic focus of a new, reinvigorated, broad-based, anti-war, pro-peace and anti-imperialist movement in the United States We are opposing the warmongering both corporate political parties have normalized.

The difficulties and challenges of this endeavor are not lost on the various organizations, networks and coalitions that are part of these efforts. We all recognize that there are no shortcuts to the delicate reconstructing of our existing forces and the challenge of expanding those forces by bringing in new formations. The ideological and political differences that have surfaced among left and progressive forces around issues of war and imperialism make it more challenging.

But the imperative of expressing solidarity with the victims of U.S. warmongering must take precedence over our differences and should serve as a basis for building political unity.

Solidarity, however, is not enough for those of us in the Black Alliance for Peace (BAP). We recognize its importance as a baseline principle for (re)-building a broad anti-war movement. Our common interests with other oppressed peoples, nations and states that find themselves in the cross-hairs of U.S. imperialism demands we offer more than solidarity—we must stand as allies.

Those of us building the Black Alliance for Peace understand we cannot afford the comforting myths of U.S. benevolence that attempts to conceal the naked deployment of U.S. state power in service of Western capitalist/colonialist interests. And so, we view with suspicion, if not treat with disdain, our comrades who support U.S. interventions, even when they frame that support with “leftist” justifications. For oppressed nations and peoples of the world, the U.S. white supremacist, colonial/capitalist patriarchy is and remains the principle contradiction. There must not be any nationalist sentimentality or equivocation on that position.

We saw how the anti-war opposition that emerged during the Bush years in opposition to lawless state-sanctioned violence, dissolved during the Obama administration. Liberals and major elements of the “left” objectively aligned themselves with the U.S./EU/NATO axis of domination through their silence or outright support in the name of opposing authoritarian regimes.

The consequence of that class collaboration is the spectrum of war has today become a permanent feature of policy discourse. The obscene $80 billion increase in military spending that was supported by both parties and the corporate media reflects that collaboration and the corrosive impact of almost two decades of militarism on the politics and consciousness of the public.

So, for BAP, the historic task is clear.

The people must be separated from the capitalist oligarchy and the nature of the state must be exposed. Our politics must be clear and our rhetoric devoid of liberal ambiguities. We must expose the underlying capitalist-class interests that are masked by appeals to national interests and patriotism. The anti-war movement must advance a clear understanding of the economic and class interests that are at root of imperialist strategies and great power conflicts. We must assert without equivocation the position that we can’t get rid of the scourge of war without getting rid of racism and capitalism and that the people should reject all calls to protect the national interests promoted by the ruling elites.

We must say if the rulers want war, let them fight it themselves!

The anti-war and anti-imperialist position must be seen as the highest expression of internationalism and global solidarity. Activists in the United States must reject all efforts to pink-wash militarism and recognize their moral obligation—as citizens of empire—to oppose all U.S. military interventions. We must take the position that we will no longer allow chicken hawk politicians to send our sons and daughters off to other lands, where they become war criminals fighting other working-class and poor people who only want social justice, national sovereignty and self-determination for themselves.

The permanent war agenda of the capitalist dictatorship must be met with permanent opposition from the working class and all oppressed people. The people must understand the link between the racialized justifications for making war abroad with the intensification of the war being waged against Black and Brown communities in the United States

We say to progressives that you can’t pretend that you believe “Black Lives Matter” in the United States and not be opposed to the assault on the humanity of Palestinians, of Yemenis, of the millions lost in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, of the destruction of Libya and of coups in Honduras and destabilization in Venezuela.

Reject the racist 21st century version of the white man’s burden with its absurd notion of humanitarian war and the responsibility to protect and understand that the real threat to world peace is the empire that we are all a part of.

Our task is clear: the anti-war position is not an add-on. It is a fundamental moral and political obligation for the citizens of empire. The world can no longer wait.

Pentagon bezig met kunstmatige intelligentie te integreren in autonome gevechtssystemen, ofwel Skynet (Terminator) in aanbouw……….

Posted on January 17, 2018June 14, 2024 by Willem Wachtmeester

Anti-Media
kwam afgelopen maandag met het bericht dat het Pentagon bezig is om
kunstmatige intelligentie (AI) te integreren in autonome
gevechtssystemen als drones…….

‘Project
Maven’ is de naam voor dit Pentagon project en is bedoeld om
‘terroristen’ uit te schakelen. Luitenant-Generaal Shanahan,
directeur intelligente defensieve oorlogsvoering (ha! ha! ha!), liet weten
dat dit het prototype voor toekomstige oorlogsvoering is………

Shanahan
stelde dat deze autonoom opererende machines het niet zullen overnemen van de mens,
logisch, immers als hij dat zou zeggen, zou de wereld
(vooralsnog) te klein zijn voor de enorme verontwaardiging en woede
die dit zou oproepen……..

Het
is geen technische oplossing voor een techtnisch probleem, maar een
operationele oplossing voor een operationeel probleem, aldus de vergulde flapdrol…….. Wat Shahanan daar precies mee bedoelde vertelde hij niet, maar dat kon wel worden
opgemaakt uit zijn woorden.

Een
drone die autonoom vliegt en beslist moet in de nabije toekomst beter
onderscheid kunnen maken als er op de grond een warrige situatie
ontstaat, bijvoorbeeld als er dieren rondrennen….. ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Ja
ja, de drone-bestuurders die de VS gebruikt, stoppen veelal na een relatief korte tijd met dit smerige en barbaarse werk, daar ze (godzijdank) getraumatiseerd raken door het
werk wat ze doen…..

Kijk van trauma’s heeft zo’n autonome drone geen last, dus als er voor de 10.000ste keer weer niet verdachte vrouwen
en kinderen worden vermoord, middels een door een drone afgeschoten
raket, heb je geen probleem achteraf……. (ter verduidelijking: bij die drone aanvallen, standrechtelijke executies ofwel moorden, is meer dan 90% van de slachtoffers niet eens verdacht, het gaat dan ook vooral om vrouwen en kinderen…..)

Onderzoekers vrezen dat terreurgroepen als IS deze ‘technologie’ zullen gebruiken voor aanslagen…… Lullig dat die onderzoekers nog steeds niet begrijpen dat de grootste terroristische organisatie de VS zelf is………….

Ongelofelijk
dat de meer dan lamme VN als de donder deze vernieuwing van moorden
en oorlogsvoering niet direct ter discussie stelt en werkt aan een verbod op
deze systemen, waar uiteindelijk de gewone mens, zoals altijd in geval van oorlog, de klos
zal zijn…… De atoombom ontwikkelen kunnen we in feite al lang
niet meer verbieden en/of tegenhouden, maar verbiedt deze uitermate gevaarlijke en onmenselijke AI-oorlogsvoering van meet af
aan!!

Skynet
Now: Pentagon Deploys Terrorist-Hunting Artificial Intelligence

Afbeeldingsresultaat voor Skynet Now: Pentagon Deploys Terrorist-Hunting Artificial Intelligence

Written
by Jake
Anderson

(ANTIMEDIA Op-ed) —
Someday,
future sentient artificial intelligence (AI) systems may reflect on
their early indentured servitude for the human military-industrial
complex with little to no nostalgia. But we’ll worry about that
when the day comes. For now, let’s continue writing algorithms that
conscript machine intelligence into terrorist bombings and let the
chips fall where they may. The most recent
disclosure comes
directly from the Pentagon, where after only 8 months of development
a small team of intel analysts has effectively deployed an AI into
the battlefield in control of weaponized systems to hunt for
terrorists.

The
military minds in charge of this new form of warfare feel it is
nothing less than the future of armed conflicts. For example, Air
Force Lt. Gen. John N.T. “Jack” Shanahan, director for defense
intelligence for warfighter support and the Pentagon general in
charge of the terrorist-hunting AI, says Project Maven – the name
given to the flagship weaponized AI system at the Defense Department
— is “prototype
warfare” but
also a glimpse of the future.

“What
we’re setting the stage for is a future of human-machine teaming.
[However], this is not machines taking over,” Shanahan
added. “This
is not a technological solution to a technological problem. It’s an
operational solution to an operational problem.”

Originally called the
Algorithmic Warfare Cross-Functional Team when it was approved for
funding back in April, Project Maven has moved quickly, and many in
the Pentagon think we will see more AI projects in the pipeline as
the United States continues to compete with Russia and China for AI
dominance.

Shanahan’s
team used thousands of hours of archived Middle East drone bombing
footage to “train” the AI to effectively differentiate between
humans and inanimate objects and, on a more granular level, to
differentiate between types of objects. The AI was paired
with Minotaur,
a Navy and Marine Corps “correlation and georegistration
application.”

“Once
you deploy it to a real location, it’s flying against a different
environment than it was trained on,”Shanahan
said. “Still
works of course … but it’s just different enough in this
location, say that there’s more scrub brush or there’s fewer
buildings or there’s animals running around that we hadn’t seen
in certain videos. That is why it’s so important in the first five
days of a real-world deployment to optimize or refine the algorithm.”

Right
now, Project Maven is intended to give military analysts more of a
situational awareness on the battlefield. But could we one day see
autonomous drones controlled by even more powerful AI algorithms
given total control on the battlefield?

Shanahan
wants to embed AI into military systems and operations across the
board, and he’s not alone in calling for near ubiquity of AI
adoption. A recent report from
the Harvard Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs makes
the case that we will see a dramatic overhaul of militaries across
the world as they implement AI technology in the next five years.

“We
argue that the use of robotic and autonomous systems in both warfare
and the commercial sector is poised to increase dramatically,” the
report states. “Initially,
technological progress will deliver the greatest advantages to large,
well-funded and technologically sophisticated militaries, just as
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Unmanned Ground Vehicles did in U.S.
military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“As
prices fall, states with budget-constrained and less technologically
advanced militaries will adopt the technology, as will non-state
actors.”

Researchers
say that rogue terror groups are just as keen to utilize the powerful
technology.

“ISIS
is making noteworthy use of remotely-controlled aerial drones in its
military operations,” the
report states. “In
the future they or other terrorist groups will likely make increasing
use of autonomous vehicles.”

Meanwhile,
the geopolitical fallout of AI
proliferation continues
to be a major issue with regard to the world’s three major
superpowers — the United States, China,
and Russia. It has been termed a “Sputnik moment.” Military
officials, including former Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel in 2014,
have said the AI arms race is known as “Third Offset Strategy”
and is the next generation of warfare.

Should
humans worry about their inept, bloodthirsty leaders handing over the
reins of the war machine to…a war machine? Perhaps, but it’s
never stopped us before.

‘Heldhaftige Israëlische militair‘,
die op
verdenking van het gooien met stenen, een
15 jarige jongen vermoordde, gaat vrijuit……..

Er zijn van die berichten waar m’n bloed van gaat koken, zoals het bericht op Anti-Media (overgenomen van Middle East Monitor) over het niet vervolgen van een Israëlische militair, die het vuur opende op een auto, daar hij en z’n psychopathische collega’s de inzittenden van een auto verdachten van het eerder gooien met stenen……..

Nogmaals: op verdenking van het gooien met stenen, schiet je mensen dood, dus ten eerste een verdenking en ten tweede schieten op mensen die met stenen zouden hebben gegooid, ofwel geen mensen die met vuurwapens zouden hebben geschoten, maar (‘encore’) met stenen zouden hebben gegooid……

Dan te bedenken dat het 16 jarige Palestijns meisje Ahed al-Tamimi al weer weken vastzit in de gevangenis voor het slaan van een zwaarbewapende militair, gekleed in beschermend uniform……*

Hoe
is ‘t godverdomme mogelijk dat Nederland en de EU in het groot, nog
steeds achter deze uiterst gewelddadige fascistische apartheidsstaat
blijven staan, een staat die in feite ook nog eens bezig is met een etnische zuivering????

Misselijkmakend……..

Het is ten overvloede nog eens duidelijk gemaakt dat Israël geen rechtsstaat was, is en kan zijn, zolang het Palestijnse mensen als ondieren behandelt! (waar uiteraard Israël zich volledig moet terugtrekken uit de illegaal bezette gebieden en de Palestijnen een werkend land moeten geven, inclusief een gebied tussen de West Bank en de Gazastrook, bijvoorbeeld langs de Libanese grens!)

No
Charges for Israeli Soldier Who Killed Palestinian Child Returning
From Swimming

January
16, 2018 at 1:01 pm

Written
by Middle
East Monitor

(MEMO) — An
Israeli army officer who opened fire on a car of Palestinian
civilians, killing a 15-year-old boy, will not be prosecuted, it
was reported.

Mahmoud
Badran was killed,
and four friends wounded, after returning from a swimming pool on the
night of 21 June 2016.

At
the time, the Israeli military claimed the forces responsible
believed the car of youngsters were responsible for throwing stones
at Route
443 in
the occupied West Bank. Mahmoud Badran was killed,
and four friends wounded, after returning from a swimming pool on the
night of 21 June 2016.

An
investigation by the Military Police Criminal Investigation Division
(MPCID) has now concluded that the “mistake” was a reasonable one
to make in the circumstances, despite the fact that the officer
opened fire in violation of the regulations.

According
to Haaretz, the officer in question is a platoon
commander in the Kfir Brigade, which is based in the occupied West
Bank. He, and two colleagues, were driving towards Jerusalem in plain
clothes when they noticed stones and an oil patch on the road, and a
bus parked up on the side.

After
driving to where they believed the stones had been thrown from, the
officer and soldiers got out and opened fire on a car driving on a
road under Route 443. Open-fire regulations in the West Bank state
that when a vehicle does not endanger the soldiers, shots must be
fired in the air.

According
to Israeli rights group B’Tselem,
“massive fire” was directed at the vehicle of Palestinian
youngsters, despite the fact that there was zero indication its
occupants were responsible for the stone-throwing (and even if there
had been, lethal force was unjustified).

The MPCID investigation similarly concluded that the officer had not seen the stone throwers, and targeted the car purely due to its proximity to the site. Despite such findings, no indictment will be filed against the officer, not even for causing death by negligence.

According
to Haaretz,
the officer faces dismissal for his conduct during the incident. The
army spokesperson told the paper that the findings were still being
examined by the Military Advocate General’s office ahead of a final
decision. .

At
the time, B’Tselem predicted that
the investigation would produce no results, slamming “the military
law enforcement system” as “a whitewashing mechanism.”

Keizer Karelplein ‘fake news’ amper gerectificeerd………

Posted on January 17, 2018June 14, 2024 by Willem Wachtmeester

Ongelofelijk maar waar: afgelopen maandag bracht RTL het bericht dat het Keizer Karelplein in Nijmegen het gevaarlijkste plein in Nederland zou zijn.

De redactie van RTL werd teruggefloten door verkeersonderzoekbureau VIA en RTL plaatste nog diezelfde dag een rectificatie (al was het een heel magere rectificatie met slappe excuses….)……

De uitkomsten van het rammelend onderzoek dat RTL gebruikte, werden in vliegende vaart overgenomen door o.a. de NOS, BNR, KRO-NCRV en uiteraard de lokale sufferds. Vreemd genoeg vindt je van deze organisaties geen rectificaties op het net (althans ik kon ze niet vinden na een zoektocht van 7 minuten…….)…..

Ach, dit onderwerp is ‘peanuts’ vergeleken met de enorme propaganda die deze zendgemachtigden en andere reguliere (massa-) media maakten voor en tijdens de illegale oorlogen tegen Afghanistan, Irak, Libië en Syrië…… (en dat zijn nog maar vier voorbeelden……)

Geen ‘dubbelchecks’ door deze reguliere media, die maar al te vaak met grote verontwaardiging spreken en schrijven over ‘fake news…………’ (of nepnieuws, wat jij wilt)

Toevoeging: Keizer Kapelplein (in de kop) klinkt niet gek, maar moet toch echt Keizer Karelplein zijn, mijn excuus.

Het verborgen motief achter de Israëlische agressie tegen Iran en Syrië

Posted on January 16, 2018 by Alex

Israël onderhield goede banden met de in 1953 door de VS geparachuteerde sjah van Perzië (Iran), dit na een door de VS opgezette staatsgreep tegen de democratisch gekozen regering van premier Mossadegh….. In 1968 zetten de 2 landen een onderneming op poten, om zo Perzische olie te transporteren naar Israël, dit daar het Suez Kanaal was geblokkeerd door Egypte. Deze onderneming, de Eilat-Ashkelon Pijpleiding (EAPC), was in feite een vervolg op de al lang door Perzië geleverde olie aan Israël, al werd dat tot die tijd geheim gehouden, om spanningen tussen Perzië en arabische landen te vermijden……

Zo’n 10 jaar lang werd er Perziche (Iraanse) olie geleverd via deze pijpleiding, waar de opbrengsten voor de sjah na de omwenteling van de Iraanse revolutie (1978-19790 in Israël bleven. Na deze revolutie* erkende Israël het nieuwe bewind niet en werd het geld dat Iran nog tegoed had, niet overgedragen aan dat bewind……..

Reden daarvoor: Israël weigerde (en weigert nog steeds) de Iraanse tegoeden over te maken naar dat land, daar het geen geld zou overmaken naar een vijandig land. De Zwitserse rechter heeft daarover gezegd, dat niets de overmaking van het geld naar Iran in de weg staat……

EAPC bestaat nog steeds en de olie die door de (nieuwe) pijpleiding wordt vervoerd, komt volgens deskundigen uit voormalige Sovjet staten, echter daar is geen zekerheid over daar er een bij de wet afgedwongen zwijgplicht bestaat….

De EAPC bedrijfsvoering blijft geheim en is intussen bekend als de Europe Asia Pipeline Co. Ofwel de ‘EAPC-B’, een bedrijf in handen van Israël. De zwijgplicht over dit bedrijf is nog onlangs verlengd met 5 jaar, op overtreding van de zwijgplicht staat een gevangenisstraf tot 15 jaar……

De macht van Israël gaat ver over haar eigen grenzen, zo moest journalist Nafeez Ahmed proefondervindelijk ervaren……. Een artikel van deze journalist werd door The Guardian in juli 2014 gepubliceerd, daarin schreef Ahmed dat de oorlog die Israël tegen de Gazastrook voerde in 2014, alles te maken had met de enorme voorraad aardgas voor de kust van de Gazastrook.

Ahmed schreef in het blog, ‘Earth Insight’ van The Guardian over de link tussen milieu en geopolitiek. Het bewuste artikel zorgde ervoor dat The Guardian stopte met dit blog, onder het voorwendsel dat een aantal artikelen van Ahmed op het blog niet in de lijn waren van de opzet die tot het opzetten van dit blog hebben geleid…….. Dit terwijl het bewuste artikel op grote schaal werd verspreid en gelezen. Ook heeft The Guardian nooit het artikel teruggenomen, of genoemde zaken weersproken…….. Je snapt natuurlijk dat The Guardian handelde onder druk van Israël en de pro-Israëlische regering Cameron

Ahmed had overigens ook over de oorzaak van de oorlog tegen Syrië geschreven en terecht merkte hij op dat één van de hoofdoorzaken van de Israëlische agressie tegen dat land gelegen is in de weigering van Syrië een gaspijpleiding over haar grondgebied toe te staan……. Dit blokkeerde de wens van Israël om één van de grote spelers in de ‘gaswereld’ te worden…….

In het volgende artikel wordt o.a. het volgende gesteld: iedereen die zegt dat het oorlog zoeken door Israël niets van doen heeft met de ambities van dit land op het gebied van olie en gas, liegt of is volkomen verkeerd geïnformeerd……

The Forgotten Motive Behind Israel’s Warmongering in the Middle East

January 12, 2018 at 12:24 pm

Written by Darius Shahtahmasebi

(ANTIMEDIA) — In the over two decades that an American-installed puppet ruled over Iran prior to the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Iran and Israel maintained friendly ties. In 1968, the two countries set up a joint venture known as the Eilat-Ashkelon Pipeline Co. (EAPC) to transport Iranian oil to the Mediterranean, primarily after Egypt blocked the Suez Canal. This move hindered Iranian oil exports at the time. Iran was already supplying Israel with the bulk of its oil prior to the formation of EAPC but did so secretly to avoid tension with the Arab world.

For about a decade, the pipeline carried Iranian oil from the Red Sea for export to Europe. Following the fall of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in 1979, the Iranian leadership has been demanding their share of revenue and assets that remained in Israel, no longer a country recognized by the Islamic Republic.

According to Business Insider, no one knows how much profit the EAPC has made or how much it is worth because it is protected in a similar way to Israel’s intelligence agencies through the use of gag orders. The source of its oil, while suspected to be mainly from former Soviet states, is also protected by the gag orders. Even Business Insider’s report states that the article had to pass through the military censor prior to publishing. However, we do know that the EAPC has reportedly become the largest distributor of oil in Israel with ambitions to become a major hub in the Mediterranean.

In 1994, Iran began pursuing an arbitration case against Israel, first in France and then in Switzerland. In 2016, the Swiss court handling the matter determined that the Israeli government owed Iran $260,000 for oil sent to Israel prior to the fall of the Shah in 1979 as part of a wider $1.2 billion owed to Iran (plus interest). Israel was also required to pay Iran’s legal fees of $208,000. Israel denied it was required to send money to an “enemy country,” but given that sanctions against Iran were supposed to have been lifted under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2015, the Swiss Court also ruled there were no legal obstacles preventing Israel from sending payment to Iran.

Now, the EAPC will continue to operate secretly following an Israeli parliamentary committee ruling at the end of December. It is now known as the Europe Asia Pipeline Co. (EAPC-B), a company owned by the Israeli government. The gag order protecting the pipeline has been extended five more years, and breaches of the gag order can incur a 15-year jail sentence.

Israel’s ability to punish people who document its energy-related ambitions far exceeds the power of a domestic gag order. In July 2014, the Guardian published journalist Nafeez Ahmed’s blog, which claimed Israel’s brutal assault on Gaza at the time was rooted in a desire to control Palestinian gas. The Guardian axed his blog not long after and released the following statement:

“Nafeez Ahmed is a freelance journalist who self-published blog posts on our environment blogging network for just over a year as a regular contributor. He has never been on the staff of the Guardian. His Guardian blog – Earth Insight – was about the link between the environment and geopolitics, but we took the decision to end the blog when a number of his posts on a range of subjects strayed too far from this brief.”

As journalist Jonathan Cook explained, the Guardian’s motives were all too apparent:

“Interestingly, Ahmed’s article went viral, becoming the most shared of any of the paper’s stories on Operation Protective Shield. But readers appear to have had better news judgment than the Guardian’s editors. Rather than congratulate him, the Guardian effectively fired Ahmed, as he details in the link below. No one has suggested that there were errors in the story, and no correction has been appended to the article.”

Ahmed also wrote in the Guardian on a separate occasion detailing how the Syrian war was also similarly fueled by a natural gas pipeline dispute, which undoubtedly also affected Israel in its bid to become a major player in the gas industry.

Israel barely has enough energy resources of its own to maintain even 50 percent of its exports. In 2000, there was a discovery of 1.4 trillion cubic feet of natural gas off the Gaza coast, valued at $4 billion. Israel also later made other monumental discoveries of gas in Syria and Lebanon, as well, two known adversaries of the Israeli government. Israel is eager to intervene in both countries (for completely unrelated reasons, of course).

Anyone who tells you that natural resources like oil and gas do not play into Israel’s regional ambitions is either lying to you or grossly misinformed. Israel is even reportedly attempting to revive a century-old railway to connect the country to the wider Middle East – including Saudi Arabia – with the intention of outmaneuvering Iran and creating a fully-fledged anti-Iran axis based solely on trade.

Clearly, Israel’s infatuation with Iran has little to do with baseless claims about Iran’s non-existent nuclear weapons and everything to do with money and resources. Israel was happy to do business with a brutal Iranian dictator some decades ago, only to pretend to care about human rights now when Iranians take to the streets to protest an equally questionable regime.

Let’s call a spade a spade and recognize pipeline politics for what it is – the driving force behind the current regional standoff plaguing the Middle East and beyond.

Het verborgen motief achter de Israëlische agressie tegen Iran en Syrië

Posted on January 16, 2018June 14, 2024 by Willem Wachtmeester

Israël
onderhield goede banden met de in 1953 door de VS geparachuteerde
sjah van Perzië (Iran), dit na een door de VS opgezette staatsgreep tegen
de democratisch gekozen regering van premier Mossadegh….. In 1968
zetten de 2 landen een onderneming op poten, om zo Perzische olie te
transporteren naar Israël, dit daar het Suez Kanaal was geblokkeerd
door Egypte. Deze onderneming, de Eilat-Ashkelon Pijpleiding (EAPC),
was in feite een vervolg op de al lang door Perzië geleverde olie aan
Israël, al werd dat tot die tijd geheim gehouden, om spanningen tussen Perzië en arabische landen te vermijden……

Zo’n 10
jaar lang werd er Perziche (Iraanse) olie geleverd via deze
pijpleiding, waar de opbrengsten voor de sjah na de omwenteling van de Iraanse revolutie (1978-19790 in Israël bleven. Na
deze revolutie* erkende Israël het nieuwe bewind niet en werd het geld
dat Iran nog tegoed had, niet overgedragen aan dat bewind……..

Reden daarvoor: Israël
weigerde (en weigert nog steeds) de Iraanse tegoeden over te maken naar dat land, daar het
geen geld zou overmaken naar een vijandig land. De Zwitserse rechter
heeft daarover gezegd, dat niets de overmaking van het geld naar Iran
in de weg staat……

EAPC
bestaat nog steeds en de olie die door de (nieuwe) pijpleiding wordt
vervoerd, komt volgens deskundigen uit voormalige Sovjet staten,
echter daar is geen zekerheid over daar er een bij de wet afgedwongen
zwijgplicht bestaat….

De EAPC
bedrijfsvoering blijft geheim en is intussen bekend als de Europe
Asia Pipeline Co. Ofwel de ‘EAPC-B’, een bedrijf in handen van Israël. De
zwijgplicht over dit bedrijf is nog onlangs verlengd met 5 jaar, op
overtreding van de zwijgplicht staat een gevangenisstraf tot 15 jaar……

De
macht van Israël gaat ver over haar eigen grenzen, zo moest
journalist Nafeez Ahmed proefondervindelijk ervaren……. Een artikel van
deze journalist werd door The Guardian in juli 2014 gepubliceerd,
daarin schreef Ahmed dat de oorlog die Israël tegen de Gazastrook
voerde in 2014, alles te maken had met de enorme voorraad aardgas
voor de kust van de Gazastrook.

Ahmed
schreef in het blog, ‘Earth Insight’ van The Guardian over de link tussen
milieu en geopolitiek. Het bewuste artikel zorgde ervoor dat The
Guardian stopte met dit blog, onder het voorwendsel dat een aantal
artikelen van Ahmed op het blog niet in de lijn waren van de opzet die tot het opzetten van dit
blog hebben geleid…….. Dit terwijl het bewuste artikel op grote schaal werd
verspreid en gelezen. Ook heeft The Guardian nooit het artikel
teruggenomen, of genoemde zaken weersproken…….. Je snapt natuurlijk dat The Guardian handelde onder druk van Israël en de pro-Israëlische regering Cameron

Ahmed
had overigens ook over de oorzaak van de oorlog tegen Syrië
geschreven en terecht merkte hij op dat één van de hoofdoorzaken van de Israëlische agressie tegen dat land gelegen is in de
weigering van Syrië een gaspijpleiding over haar grondgebied toe
te staan……. Dit blokkeerde de wens van Israël om één van de grote spelers in de
‘gaswereld’ te worden…….

In
het volgende artikel wordt o.a. het volgende gesteld: iedereen die
zegt dat het oorlog zoeken door Israël niets van doen heeft met de
ambities van dit land op het gebied van olie en gas, liegt of is volkomen verkeerd geïnformeerd……

The
Forgotten Motive Behind Israel’s Warmongering in the Middle East

January
12, 2018 at 12:24 pm

Written
by Darius
Shahtahmasebi

(ANTIMEDIA) — In
the over two decades that an American-installed puppet ruled over
Iran prior to the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Iran and Israel maintained
friendly ties. In 1968, the two countries set
up a joint venture known
as the Eilat-Ashkelon Pipeline Co. (EAPC) to transport Iranian oil to
the Mediterranean, primarily after Egypt blocked the
Suez Canal. This move hindered Iranian oil exports at the time. Iran
was already
supplying Israel
with the bulk of its oil prior to the formation of EAPC but did so
secretly to avoid tension with the Arab world.

For
about a decade, the pipeline carried Iranian oil from the Red Sea for
export to Europe. Following the fall of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in
1979, the Iranian leadership has been demanding their share of
revenue and assets that remained in Israel, no longer a country
recognized by the Islamic Republic.

According
to Business Insider, no one knows how much profit the
EAPC has made or how much it is worth because it is protected in a
similar way to Israel’s intelligence agencies through the use of
gag orders. The source of its oil, while suspected to be mainly from
former Soviet states, is also protected by the gag orders.
Even Business Insider’s report states that the
article had to pass through the military censor prior to publishing.
However, we do know that the EAPC has reportedly become the largest
distributor of oil in Israel with ambitions to become a major hub in
the Mediterranean.

In
1994, Iran began pursuing an arbitration case against Israel, first
in France and then in Switzerland. In 2016, the Swiss court handling
the matter determined that
the Israeli government owed Iran $260,000 for oil sent to Israel
prior to the fall of the Shah in 1979 as part of a wider $1.2 billion
owed to Iran (plus
interest).
Israel was also required to pay Iran’s legal fees of $208,000.
Israel denied it was required to send money to an “enemy country,”
but given that sanctions against Iran were supposed to have been
lifted under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2015,
the Swiss Court also ruled there were no legal obstacles preventing
Israel from sending payment to Iran.

Now,
the EAPC will continue
to operate secretly following
an Israeli parliamentary committee ruling at the end of December. It
is now known as the Europe Asia Pipeline Co. (EAPC-B), a company
owned by the Israeli government. The gag order protecting the
pipeline has been extended five more years, and breaches of the gag
order can incur a 15-year
jail sentence.

Israel’s
ability to punish people who document its energy-related ambitions
far exceeds the power of a domestic gag order. In July 2014,
the Guardian published journalist
Nafeez Ahmed’s blog, which claimed Israel’s brutal assault on
Gaza at the time was rooted in a desire to control Palestinian gas.
The Guardian axed
his blog not long after and released
the following statement:

“Nafeez
Ahmed is a freelance journalist who self-published blog posts on our
environment blogging network for just over a year as a regular
contributor. He has never been on
the staff of the Guardian. His Guardian blog – Earth
Insight –
was
about the link between the environment and geopolitics, but we took
the decision to end the blog when a number of his posts on a range of
subjects strayed too far from this brief.”

As
journalist Jonathan Cook explained,
the Guardian’s motives
were all too apparent:

“Interestingly,
Ahmed’s article went viral, becoming the most shared of any of the
paper’s stories on Operation Protective Shield. But readers appear
to have had better news judgment than the Guardian’s editors.
Rather than congratulate him, the Guardian effectively fired Ahmed,
as he details in the link below. No one has suggested that there were
errors in the story, and no correction has been appended to the
article.”

Ahmed
also wrote in the Guardian on
a separate occasion detailing how the Syrian war was
also similarly fueled
by a natural gas pipeline dispute,
which undoubtedly also affected Israel in its bid to become
a major player in the gas industry.

Israel
barely has enough
energy resources of
its own to maintain even 50 percent of its exports. In 2000, there
was a discovery of 1.4 trillion cubic feet of natural gas off the
Gaza coast, valued at $4 billion. Israel also later made
other monumental
discoveries of
gas in Syria and Lebanon, as well, two known adversaries of the
Israeli government. Israel is eager to
intervene in both
countries (for
completely unrelated reasons, of course).

Anyone
who tells you that natural resources like oil and gas do not play
into Israel’s regional ambitions is either lying to you or grossly
misinformed. Israel is even reportedly attempting
to revive a century-old railway to connect the country to the wider
Middle East – including Saudi Arabia – with the intention of
outmaneuvering Iran and creating a fully-fledged anti-Iran axis based
solely on trade.

Clearly,
Israel’s infatuation with Iran has little to do
with baseless claims
about Iran’s non-existent nuclear weapons and everything to do with
money and resources. Israel was happy to do business with a brutal
Iranian dictator some decades ago, only to pretend
to care about human rights now
when Iranians take to the streets to protest an equally questionable
regime.

Let’s
call a spade a spade and recognize pipeline
politics for
what it is – the driving force behind the current
regional standoff plaguing
the Middle East and beyond.

VS hypocrisie t.a.v. knielende footballspelers……….

Wat een hysterie in de VS over de gekleurde footballspelers die knielen als het volkslied wordt afgespeeld, i.p.v. rechtop te staan, met de hand op het hart. Die spelers doen dit uit protest tegen de enorme aantallen gekleurden die jaarlijks worden vermoord door de politie……

Rechtop met de hand op het hart >> -uit eerbied voor het stelen van het land behorend aan de inheemse bevolking (‘indianen’), middels één van de grootste genocides, die de menselijke geschiedenis kent, -uit eerbied voor de ‘gevallen’ psychopaten, die uit naam van de VS in illegale oorlogen martelden, verkrachtten en moordden (en hun huidige collega’s die hetzelfde blijven doen…), -uit eerbetoon voor het uitknijpen van de grote onderlaag in dat gestolen land en inderdaad: -uit eerbetoon aan de politie psychopaten die gekleurden liever vermoorden dan hen te laten gaan, nadat men deze mensen staande heeft gehouden, puur en alleen omdat deze mensen gekleurd zijn…………

In spreek over ‘footballspelers’, daar dit niet hetzelfde is als wat men hier onder voetbal verstaat (en ja, heb de pest aan beide suffe sporten).

FBI, de spin in het Russiagate web……..

Posted on January 16, 2018 by Alex

Er is al veel geschreven (althans in de alternatieve media) over de ware schuldigen achter Russiagate, met bewijzen werd en wordt aangetoond dat de geheime diensten FBI, CIA en NSA de ware schuldigen zijn achter Russiagate, waar overigens het campagneteam van hare kwaadaardigheid Clinton, aanstichter en mededader is…….

Gisteren op het blog van Stan van Houcke een artikel geschreven door Ray McGovern (ex-CIA) en gepubliceerd op de site van schrijver/journalist Paul Craig Roberts, die het overnam van Consortium News (kan je het nog volgen?). McGovern legt op een gedegen manier uit dat de FBI de ware grote dader is achter Russiagate.

Niet voor niets zegt nu zelfs de Wall Street Journal dat er een punt moet worden gezegd achter het Russiagate verhaal……. ha! Ha! Ha! Eerst liepen de persen van de Wall Street Journal zo hard op deze leugen dat ze bij wijze van spreken bijna vastliepen…….. Waar nu blijkt dat het Clinton campagneteam en de geheime diensten samen hebben gewerkt om te voorkomen dat Trump in het Witte Huis zou komen, wil deze bijna grootste krant van de VS dus een punt achter het enorme leugenverhaal dat Russiagate is………*

Nogmaals toont een massamediaorgaan aan ‘fake news’ (of: nepnieuws) te hebben gebracht en daar het volk maandenlang over te hebben voorgelogen……

Lezen mensen, een geweldig stuk over dombo’s Strzak en Page, die dachten in het geheim te kunnen communiceren, maar van wie onlangs een eerste deel van hun lange correspondentie werd vrijgegeven en waardoor ten overvloede de FBI nog eens kan worden aangewezen als spin in het Russiagate web…….

The FBI Hand Behind Russia-gate

By Ray McGovern
January 15, 2018 Paul Craig Roberts.

As I have reported from the beginning, Russiagate is an orchestrated hoax by the security agencies for the purpose of preventing Trump from normalizing relations with Russia and, if necessary, for removing him from office. Russiagate is an act of treason by the security agencies. Those responsible must be arrested, prosecuted, and convicted. — PCR

“After months of breathless searching for ‘evidence’ of Russian-Trump collusion designed to put Trump in the White House, what now exists is actual evidence that senior officials of the Obama administration colluded to keep Trump out of the White House.” — Ray McGovern

Special Report: In the Watergate era, liberals warned about U.S. intelligence agencies manipulating U.S. politics, but now Trump-hatred has blinded many of them to this danger becoming real, as ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern notes. January 12, 2017, Information Clearing House
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/48572.htm

The FBI Hand Behind Russia-gate
By Ray McGovern

Russia-gate is becoming FBI-gate, thanks to the official release of unguarded text messages between loose-lipped FBI counterintelligence official Peter Strzok and his garrulous girlfriend, FBI lawyer Lisa Page. (Ten illustrative texts from their exchange appear at the end of this article.)

Despite his former job as chief of the FBI’s counterintelligence section, Strzok had the naive notion that texting on FBI phones could not be traced. Strzok must have slept through “Security 101.” Or perhaps he was busy texting during that class. Girlfriend Page cannot be happy at being misled by his assurance that using office phones would be a secure way to conduct their affair(s).

It would have been unfortunate enough for Strzok and Page to have their adolescent-sounding texts merely exposed, revealing the reckless abandon of star-crossed lovers hiding (they thought) secrets from cuckolded spouses, office colleagues, and the rest of us. However, for the never-Trump plotters in the FBI, the official release of just a fraction (375) of almost 10,000 messages does incalculably more damage than that.

We suddenly have documentary proof that key elements of the U.S. intelligence community were trying to short-circuit the U.S. democratic process. And that puts in a new and dark context the year-long promotion of Russia-gate. It now appears that it was not the Russians trying to rig the outcome of the U.S. election, but leading officials of the U.S. intelligence community, shadowy characters sometimes called the Deep State.

More of the Strzok-Page texting dialogue is expected to be released. And the Department of Justice Inspector General reportedly has additional damaging texts from others on the team that Special Counsel Robert Mueller selected to help him investigate Russia-gate.

Besides forcing the removal of Strzok and Page, the text exposures also sounded the death knell for the career of FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, in whose office some of the plotting took place and who has already announced his plans to retire soon.

But the main casualty is the FBI’s 18-month campaign to sabotage candidate-and-now-President Donald Trump by using the Obama administration’s Russia-gate intelligence “assessment,” electronic surveillance of dubious legality, and a salacious dossier that could never pass the smell test, while at the same time using equally dubious techniques to immunize Hillary Clinton and her closest advisers from crimes that include lying to the FBI and endangering secrets.

Ironically, the Strzok-Page texts provide something that the Russia-gate investigation has been sorely lacking: first-hand evidence of both corrupt intent and action. After months of breathless searching for “evidence” of Russian-Trump collusion designed to put Trump in the White House, what now exists is actual evidence that senior officials of the Obama administration colluded to keep Trump out of the White House – proof of what old-time gumshoes used to call “means, motive and opportunity.”

Even more unfortunately for Russia-gate enthusiasts, the FBI lovers’ correspondence provides factual evidence exposing much of the made-up “Resistance” narrative – the contrived storyline that The New York Times and much of the rest of the U.S. mainstream media deemed fit to print with little skepticism and few if any caveats, a scenario about brilliantly devious Russians that not only lacks actual evidence – relying on unverified hearsay and rumor – but doesn’t make sense on its face.

The Russia-gate narrative always hinged on the preposterous notion that Russian President Vladimir
Putin foresaw years ago what no American political analyst considered even possible, the political ascendancy of Donald Trump. According to the narrative, the fortune-telling Putin then risked creating even worse tensions with a nuclear-armed America that would – by all odds – have been led by a vengeful President Hillary Clinton.

Besides this wildly improbable storyline, there were flat denials from WikiLeaks, which distributed the supposedly “hacked” Democratic emails, that the information came from Russia – and there was the curious inability of the National Security Agency to use its immense powers to supply any technical evidence to support the Russia-hack scenario.
The Trump Shock

But the shock of Trump’s election and the decision of many never-Trumpers to cast their lot with the Resistance led to a situation in which any prudent skepticism or demand for evidence was swept aside.
So, on Jan. 6, 2017, President Obama’s Director of National Intelligence James Clapper released an evidence-free report that he said was compiled by “hand-picked” analysts from the CIA, FBI and NSA, offering an “assessment” that Russia and President Putin were behind the release of the Democratic emails in a plot to help Trump win the presidency.

Despite the extraordinary gravity of the charge, even New York Times correspondent Scott Shane noted that proof was lacking. He wrote at the time: “What is missing from the [the Jan. 6] public report is what many Americans most eagerly anticipated: hard evidence to back up the agencies’ claims that the Russian government engineered the election attack. … Instead, the message from the agencies essentially amounts to ‘trust us.’”

But the “assessment” served a useful purpose for the never-Trumpers: it applied an official imprimatur on the case for delegitimizing Trump’s election and even raised the long-shot hope that the Electoral College might reverse the outcome and possibly install a compromise candidate, such as former Secretary of State Colin Powell, in the White House. Though the Powell ploy fizzled, the hope of somehow removing Trump from office continued to bubble, fueled by the growing hysteria around Russia-gate.

Virtually all skepticism about the evidence-free “assessment” was banned. For months, the Times and other newspapers of record repeated the lie that all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies had concurred in the conclusion about the Russian “hack.” Even when that falsehood was belatedly acknowledged, the major news outlets just shifted the phrasing slightly to say that U.S. intelligence agencies had reached the Russian “hack” conclusion. Shane’s blunt initial recognition about the lack of proof disappeared from the mainstream media’s approved narrative of Russia-gate.

Doubts about the Russian “hack” or dissident suggestions that what we were witnessing was a “soft coup” were scoffed at by leading media commentators. Other warnings from veteran U.S. intelligence professionals about the weaknesses of the Russia-gate narrative and the danger of letting politicized intelligence overturn a constitutional election were also brushed aside in pursuit of the goal of removing Trump from the White House.

It didn’t even seem to matter when new Russia-gate disclosures conflicted with the original narrative that Putin had somehow set Trump up as a Manchurian candidate. All normal journalistic skepticism was jettisoned. It was as if the Russia-gate advocates started with the conclusion that Trump must go and then made the facts fit into that mold, but anyone who noted the violations of normal investigative procedures was dismissed as a “Trump enabler” or a “Moscow stooge.”

The Text Evidence

But then came the FBI text messages, providing documentary evivdence that key FBI officials involved in the Russia-gate investigation were indeed deeply biased and out to get Trump, adding hard proof to Trump’s longstanding lament that he was the subject of a “witch hunt.”

Justified or not, Trump’s feeling of vindication could hardly be more dangerous — particularly at a time when the most urgent need is to drain some testosterone from the self-styled Stable-Genius-in-Chief and his martinet generals.

On the home front, Trump, his wealthy friends, and like-thinkers in Congress may now feel they have an even wider carte blanche to visit untold misery on the poor, the widow, the stranger and other vulnerable humans. That was always an underlying danger of the Resistance’s strategy to seize on whatever weapons were available – no matter how reckless or unfair – to “get Trump.”

Beyond that, Russia-gate has become so central to the Washington establishment’s storyline that there appears to be no room for second-thoughts or turning back. The momentum is such that some Democrats and the media never-Trumpers can’t stop stoking the smoke of Russia-gate and holding out hope against hope that it will somehow justify Trump’s impeachment.

Yet, the sordid process of using legal/investigative means to settle political scores further compromises the principle of the “rule of law” and integrity of journalism in the eyes of many Americans. After a year of Russia-gate, the “rule of law” and “pursuit of truth” appear to have been reduced to high-falutin’ phrases for political score-setttling, a process besmirched by Republicans in earlier pursuits of Democrats and now appearing to be a bipartisan method for punishing political rivals regardless of the lack of evidence.

Strzok and Page

Peter Strzok (pronounced “struck”) has an interesting pedigree with multiple tasks regarding both Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Trump. As the FBI’s chief of counterespionage during the investigation into then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s unauthorized use of a personal email server for classified information, Strzok reportedly changed the words “grossly negligent” (which could have triggered legal prosecution) to the far less serious “extremely careless” in FBI Director James Comey’s depiction of Clinton’s actions. This semantic shift cleared the way for Comey to conclude just 20 days before the Democratic National Convention began in July 2016, that “no reasonable prosecutor” would bring charges against Mrs. Clinton.

Then, as Deputy Assistant Director of the Counterintelligence Division, Strzok led the FBI’s investigation into alleged Russian interference in the U.S. election of 2016. It is a safe bet that he took a strong hand in hand-picking the FBI contingent of analysts that joined “hand-picked” counterparts from CIA and NSA in preparing the evidence-free, Jan. 6, 2017 assessment accusing Russian President Vladimir Putin of interfering in the election of 2016. (Although accepted in Establishment groupthink as revealed truth, that poor excuse for analysis reflected the apogee of intelligence politicization — rivaled only by the fraudulent intelligence on “weapons of mass destruction“ in Iraq 15 years ago.)

In June and July 2017 Strzok was the top FBI official working on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into possible links between the Trump campaign and Russia, but was taken off that job when the Justice Department IG learned of the Strzok-Page text-message exchange and told Mueller.

There is no little irony in the fact that what did in the FBI sweathearts was their visceral disdain for Mr. Trump, their cheerleading-cum-kid-gloves treatment of Mrs. Clinton and her associates, their 1950-ish, James Clapperesque attitude toward Russians as “almost genetically driven” to evil, and their (Strzok/Page) elitist conviction that they know far better what is good for the country than regular American citizens, including those “deplorables” whom Clinton said made up half of Trump’s supporters.

But Strzok/Page had no idea that their hubris, elitism and scheming would be revealed in so tangible a way. Worst of all for them, the very thing that Strzok, in particular, worked so hard to achieve — the sabotaging of Trump and immunization of Mrs. Clinton and her closest advisers is now coming apart at the seams.

Congress: Oversee? or Overlook?

At this point, the $64 question is whether the various congressional oversight committees will remain ensconced in their customarily cozy role as “overlook” committees, or whether they will have the courage to attempt to carry out their Constitutional duty. The latter course would mean confronting a powerful Deep State and its large toolbox of well-practiced retaliatory techniques, including J. Edgar Hoover-style blackmail on steroids, enabled by electronic surveillance of just about everything and everyone. Yes, today’s technology permits blanket collection, and “Collect Everything” has become the motto.
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-New York, with almost four decades of membership in the House and Senate, openly warned incoming President Trump in January 2017 against criticizing the U.S. intelligence community because U.S. intelligence officials have “six ways from Sunday to get back at you” if you are “dumb” enough to take them on.

Thanks to the almost 10,000 text messages between Strzok and Page, only a small fraction of which were given to Congress four weeks ago, there is now real evidentiary meat on the bones of the suspicions that there indeed was a “deep-state coup” to “correct” the outcome of the 2016 election. We now know that the supposedly apolitical FBI officials had huge political axes to grind. The Strzok-Page exchanges drip with disdain for Trump and those deemed his smelly deplorable supporters. In one text message, Strzok expressed visceral contempt for those working-class Trump voters, writing on Aug. 26, 2016, “Just went to a southern Virginia Walmart. I could SMELL the Trump support. … it’s scary real down here.”

The texts even show Strzok warning of the need for an “insurance policy” to thwart Trump on the off-chance that his poll numbers closed in on those of Mrs. Clinton.

An Aug. 6, 2016 text message, for example, shows Page giving her knight in shining armor strong affirmation: “Maybe you’re meant to stay where you are because you’re meant to protect the country from that menace [Trump].” That text to Strzok includes a link to a David Brooks column in The New York Times, in which Brooks concludes with the clarion call: “There comes a time when neutrality and laying low become dishonorable. If you’re not in revolt, you’re in cahoots. When this period and your name are mentioned, decades hence, your grandkids will look away in shame.”

Another text message shows that other senior government officials – alarmed at the possibility of a Trump presidency – joined the discussion. In an apparent reference to an August 2016 meeting with FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, Strzok wrote to Page on Aug. 15, 2016, “I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office — that there’s no way he [Trump] gets elected — but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk.” Strzok added, “It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event that you die before you’re 40.”

Insurance Policy?

Senate Judiciary Committee chair Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, says he will ask Strzok to explain the “insurance policy” when he calls him to testify. What seems already clear is that the celebrated “Steele Dossier” was part of the “insurance,” as was the evidence-less legend that Russia hacked the DNC’s and Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s emails and gave them to WikiLeaks.

If congressional investigators have been paying attention, they already know what former weapons inspector Scott Ritter shared with Veteran intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) colleagues this week; namely, that Fusion GPS’s Glenn Simpson, who commissioned the Russia dossier using Democratic Party money, said he reached out to Steele after June 17, just three days before Steele’s first report was published, drawing on seven sources.

“There is a snowball’s chance in hell that this is raw intelligence gathered by Steele; rather he seems to have drawn on a single ‘trusted intermediary’ to gather unsubstantiated rumor already in existence.”

Another VIPS colleague, Phil Giraldi, writing out of his own experience in private sector consulting, added: “The fact that you do not control your sources frequently means that they will feed you what they think you want to hear. Since they are only doing it for money, the more lurid the details the better, as it increases the apparent value of the information. The private security firm in turn, which is also doing it for the money, will pass on the stories and even embroider them to keep the client happy and to encourage him to come back for more. When I read the Steele dossier it looked awfully familiar to me, like the scores of similar reports I had seen which combined bullshit with enough credible information to make the whole product look respectable.”

It is now widely known that the Democrats ponied up the “insurance premiums,” so to speak, for former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele’s “dossier” of lurid — but largely unproven — “intelligence” on Trump and the Russians. If, as many have concluded, the dossier was used to help justify a FISA warrant to snoop on the Trump campaign, those involved will be in deep kimchi, if congressional overseers do their job.

How, you might ask, could Strzok and associates undertake these extra-legal steps with such blithe disregard for the possible consequences should they be caught? The answer is easy; Mrs. Clinton was a shoo-in, remember? This was just extra insurance with no expectation of any “death benefit” ever coming into play — save for Trump’s electoral demise in November 2016. The attitude seemed to be that, if abuse of the FISA law should eventually be discovered — there would be little interest in a serious investigation by the editors of The New York Times and other anti-Trump publications and whatever troubles remained could be handled by President Hillary Clinton.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, who chairs the Judiciary Subcommittee of Judiciary on Crime and Terrorism, joined Sen. Grassley in signing the letter referring Christopher Steele to the Justice Department to investigate what appear to be false statements about the dossier. In signing, Graham noted the “many stop signs the Department of Justice ignored in its use of the dossier.” The signature of committee ranking member Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, however, was missing — an early sign that a highly partisan battle royale is in the offing. On Tuesday, Feinstein unilaterally released a voluminous transcript of Glenn Simpson’s earlier testimony and, as though on cue, Establishment pundits portrayed Steele as a good source and Fusion GPS’s Glenn Simpson as a victim.
The Donnybrook is now underway; the outcome uncertain.
