Voor de
zoveelste keer sinds de VS een illegale oorlog begon tegen Syrië (voorafgegaan door een door de CIA georganiseerde opstand), is Turkije
volkomen illegaal Syrisch grondgebied binnengevallen…..
Dit keer
kreeg Turkije wel tegenstand van de Syrische luchtmacht, ofwel na meer van dit soort Turkse oorlogsmisdaden, is de kans groot dat Turkije een oorlog riskeert met Syrië……. Turkije is NAVO-lidstaat en het is dan ook een gotspe dat geen andere
lidstaat van de NAVO commentaar levert op deze illegale agressie van
een collega lidstaat…..
De NAVO
is dan ook een terreurorganisatie die sinds het ontstaan militair wordt
geleid door de VS en dat land is dan weer verreweg de grootste terreurentiteit op
aarde…… Doordat de NAVO Turkije niet de wacht aanzegt en ook onze
regering er het zwijgen toe doet, kan je zonder meer stellen dat
Nederland en de andere NAVO-lidstaten achter de illegale inval van
Turkije staan……
Het
konvooi van het Turkse leger bestaat o.a. een groot aantal wapens, munitie en ander (ook groot) oorlogstuig voor o.a Al Qaida, de terreurorganisatie
die nog steeds een deel van Idlib bezet houdt (met toestemming van de
VS…..)
Kortom
ook nu steunt Nederland nog steeds terreurorganisaties in Syrië……
Doordat
Turkije NAVO-lidstaat is, werden er in 2013 Nederlandse
Patriot raketten gestationeerd in Turkije, zogenaamd als bescherming
tegen het Syrische leger, terwijl Turkije destijds volop steun
verleende aan IS, o.a. door afname van grote hoeveelheden olie uit IS
gebied in Irak en het leveren van wapens, munitie en ander oorlogstuig aan
IS…… Niet één keer werd Turkije toen aangevallen door Syrië,
terwijl dat land daar ook destijds meer dan voldoende redenen toe had…… Het meest walgelijke destijds was wel dat de meeste westerse politici Turkije niet veroordeelden voor deze grootschalige steun aan terreurgroep IS, zelfs de reguliere westerse media reageerden daar destijds amper op, velen niet eens met ook maar één woord aan kritiek…….
Nu is
Turkije weer bezig met dit soort uiterst illegale zaken, die zoals gezegd niet anders dan
als een zware oorlogsmisdaad kunnen worden aangemerkt….. Overigens heeft Turkije al jaren terreurgroepen als IS en Al Qaida in Syrië gesteund (zie ook de video’s onder het hieronder volgende artikel) Eén groot
verschil: nu slaat Syrië wel terug…..* Benieuwd wanneer Nederland
opnieuw zal besluiten om weer Patriot raketten te stationeren in Turkije,
daar Turkije buurland Syrië illegaal is binnengevallen en dat land in
feite een carte blanche heeft gegeven de agressor op (eigen) Turks
grondgebied aan te vallen……….
Je kan er donder op zeggen dat ook nu weer Turkije gesteund zal worden door de andere NAVO-lidstaten, zeker als Syrië Turkije op eigen grondgebied zal aanvallen, dan wordt het ‘drie musketiers decreet’ van de NAVO van stal gehaald: een aanval op één van de lidstaten is een aanval op alle lidstaten, zonder ook maar de moeite te nemen om de oorzaak te onderzoeken: grootschalige Turkse terreur tegen een soeverein land!!! (laat staan dat men de eigen rol in deze zal onderzoeken, ofwel Turkije mag ook nu weer van haar collega NAVO-lidstaten grootschalige terreur begaan tegen het soevereine land Syrië….)

volgende artikel van Tyler Durden, verscheen eerder op Zero Hedge en werd door mij overgenomen van Anti-Media:
Turkey-Syria
War on the Horizon: Airstrikes Target Invading Turkish Army Convoy
(ZH) — Turkey
and Syria could
be headed for war as
their armies increasingly clash on front lines in southern Idlib,
also amid a heavy aerial bombardment by Syrian and Russian jets of
al-Qaeda held Khan Sheikhoun.
On
Monday a
Turkish convoy came under attack by Syrian airstrikes while
traversing a highway headed toward Khan Sheikhoun. Damascus has
accused Turkey of seeking to aid terrorists in the besieged town,
which had been site of prior chemical attack claims issued by
anti-Assad fighters, and fired “warning shots” on the approaching
armored convoy, killing
and injuring some among the pro-Turkish force.
An
AFP correspondent observed around
50 Turkish armed vehicles, including at least five tanks, traveling
through Idlib which the Syrian government has condemned as an illegal
breach of its sovereign borders.
Turkish convoy in southern Idlib on Monday, via the AFP
The
convoy is said to be laden
with ammunition resupplies for local “rebels” battling the Syrian
Army in
southern Idlib province. Ankara’s position has been to claim
massive Syrian-Russian airstrikes are a violation of prior agreements
between Russia, Turkey, and Syria.
At
least one fighter from a Turkish-backed faction was reported killed
in the airstrikes on the convoy, which halted its movement south,
along with many injured. Some reports said there were multiple among
the dead.
Turkey’s
defense ministry “strongly” condemned the incident, with
statements out of Damascus saying Turkey is seeking to resupply
terrorist groups on Syrian soil.
#BREAKING: Two #Turkish Air Force’s F-16C Block 40s of 152 Filo which had been scrambled from #Incirlik AB to protect the military convoy of #Turkey which is illegally passing through #Idlib are now flying over #KhanShaykhun. In same time, a pair of #Russian Su-35s are airborne!
(Op deze plek in het origineel een korte video van een bombardement op het Turkse konvooi, deze kan ik niet overnemen, onder dit artikel een paar video’s van militaire transporten richting de frontlijn in Idlib)
“Despite
repeated warnings we made to the authorities of the Russian
Federation, the military operations by the regime forces continue in
Idlib region in violation of the existing memorandums and agreements
with the Russian Federation,” Turkey’s defense ministry said
in a statement.
Syrian
state news agency SANA, citing a Foreign Ministry source, responded
that Turkey’s invading force would not impede “the
determination of the Syrian Arab Army to keep hunting the remnants of
terrorists.”
Meanwhile,
it must be remembered that Khan
Sheikhoun was site of a previously claimed chemical attack incident
in April 2017, which the White House used as a pretext for bombing
Syria,
followed by a more devastating attack on Damascus the year following.
Though
Syria has largely fallen out of mainstream media headlines, events
rapidly unfolding in Idlib will soon likely take center stage,
especially should another claimed chemical attack incident play out,
and given it is entirely in the besieged insurgents’ interest for
some kind of “mass casualty” event involving sarin or another
chemical to gain the immediate attention of the West.
Het volgende artikel ligt al veel te lang op de spreekwoordelijke plank, terwijl het wel degelijk uitermate belangrijke informatie bevat: Avaaz is een smerige organisatie, die onder het mom van goede doelen petities de stank van lijken om zich heen heeft verzameld en zelfs aandringt op oorlogshandelingen……
Avaaz kan zonder meer gezien worden als een instrument van de VS terreurmachine, inclusief haar oorlogshond NAVO……
Zo heeft Avaaz aangedrongen een ‘no-fly zone’ in te stellen boven Libië, door politici, het publiek en de media continu te voeden met leugens over het bewind Khadaffi (al hadden die politici en media daar al geen moeite mee) en heeft zo meegewerkt aan de vernietiging van het eens rijkste land van Afrika…..
Libië, en land waar zo ongeveer alles gratis was en van goede kwaliteit, zoals onderwijs, medische zorg, huisvesting en de levering van energie. Wat betreft het onderwijs: jongens en meisjes mochten op kosten van de staat studeren in het buitenland, waar ook nog eens de huur en andere verblijfskosten werden betaald door de Libische staat……
Met behulp van Avaaz is Libië verworden tot zo ongeveer het armste land van Afrika, het ontbreekt de bevolking aan van alles en meisjes mogen niet meer naar school, laat staan studeren…… Tienduizenden Libiërs verloren het leven, niet alleen vanwege de NAVO bombardementen (Nederlandse F16s werden gebruikt om doelen aan te wijzen), maar ook door etnische zuiveringen….. Er worden nu zelfs openbare slavenmarkten gehouden in Libië, en de oorlog is nog steeds gaande…… Nogmaals: met dank aan Avaaz…..
De Avaaz topgraaiers hebben er voorts geen probleem mee om op de foto te gaan met oorlogsmisdadigers als Petraeus…..
Ook in Syrië heeft Avaaz een zeer kwalijke rol gespeeld en de VS agressie, beter gezegd: terreur, van A tot Z gesteund……..
Mensen het is even een zit het hieronder opgenomen artikel van Cory Morningstar, eerder gepubliceerd op The Art of Innihilation, maar de schellen vallen je van de ogen, wat een smerig zootje dat Avaaz en geeft het door, laat je niet langer foppen door deze verraderlijke organisatie!!
SYRIA:
AVAAZ, PURPOSE & THE ART OF SELLING HATE FOR EMPIRE
September
17, 2014

By: admin
“The
Ivy League bourgeoisie who sit at the helm of the non-profit
industrial complex will one day be known simply as charismatic
architects of death. Funded by the ruling class oligarchy, the role
they serve for their funders is not unlike that of corporate media.
Yet, it appears that global society is paralyzed in a collective
hypnosis – rejecting universal social interests, thus rejecting
reason, to instead fall in line with the position of the powerful
minority that has seized control, a minority that systematically
favours corporate interests.” — From
the article Avaaz: Imperialist Pimps of Militarism, Protectors of the
Oligarchy, Trusted Facilitators of War | Part I, Section I, Sept
10, 2012
The
organization Avaaz was instrumentalin
building public approval for the No Fly Zone for the illegal invasion
of Libya in 2011. The NATO-led destabilization/illegal war in Libya
resulted in the annihilation of a formerly sovereign country that has
since descended into brutal chaos. Tens upon thousands of Libyans
died and the most savage ethnic cleansing that the mind can imagine
has been widespread. The destruction of Libya has been nothing less
than a full-scale bloodbath.
Above
image from the Avaazwebsite: “Libya
No-Fly Zone: As Libyan
government jets drop bombs on the civilian population,
the UN Security Council will decide in 48 hours whether to impose a
no-fly zone to keep Qaddafi’s warplanes on the ground.” [Emphasis
in original][Further
discussion of the flag within this Avaaz image can be read in
the epilogue.]
Above
image: Avaaz takes credit for the implementation of the Libya No Fly
Zone. [Further
Reading: “Did
Libya’s Citizens Demand Foreign Intervention?”A
ridiculous question, yet according to Avaaz, the answer is yes.]
When
Avaaz rolled out the same rinse, lather and repeat campaign for the
seizing of Syria, the public did not fall prey as easily. The
campaign failed. Below are three separate links to the Avaaz campaign
calling for a no-fly zone over Syria.
https://secure.avaaz.org/en/syria_the_last_straw_0/(June
14, 2013) (Avaaz alleges a “rape crisis” committed by soldiers of
the Syrian army – the same tactic used to incite hatred against
Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi that was later discredited.)
Of
the Avaaz campaigns pressing for a no-fly zone (air strikes) over
Syria that flourished in June of 2013, at least two employed the use
of chemical weapons to incite fear and hatred toward the Assad
government. It does not take much stretch of the imagination to
consider Avaaz had inside knowledge of the upcoming chemical attack
that would take place in outer Damascus approximately 10 weeks later.
Considering Avaaz co-founder Tom Perriello’s connection to the
Obama administration and its well known war criminals, it is entirely
plausible that Avaaz was churning out propaganda that would lead up
to and sensationalize a false
flag attack.

[In July, 2011, “General David Petraeus was approved as CIA
Director by both the Senate Intelligence Committee and then the full
Senate, whose vote was an astounding 94-0,
astounding because this is a man who was deeply implicated in war
crimes,
including torture.” Source]
[Welcome to the Brave New World – Brought to You by Avaaz, Sept
13, 2013]
The
August 30, 2013 article “On
the Eve of an Illegal Attack on Syria, Avaaz/350.org Board Members
Beat the Drums of War” documents Avaaz links imploring a
no-fly zone on Syria – both public links have since been removed.
The article also
featured 350.org board member Van Jones calling for air strikes on
Syria. (Adding twisted irony, Van Jones also serves as co-founder and
executive director of the Ella
Baker Center for Human Rights.
The co-opting of deceased civil rights revolutionaries to advance the
goals of hegemony has become common practice within these
foundation-financed projects.)
Screenshots
of an email from co-founder of Avaaz, Ricken Patel to Avaaz
subscribers dated August 27, 2014 can be found here (1)
and here(2).
The email from Patel represented a last-ditch effort to garner
support for a no-fly zone as the US prepared to launch an attack on
Syria.
One
year earlier, in 2012 Avaaz was allegedly sponsoring
fabricated videos of
civilian massacres, to back deeper foreign intervention in Syria.
Fact-checking and videos appear to collaborate these
claims.
Jump
forward to 2014.
In
the September 8, 2014 article Pentagon
Planning Points to Possible Anti-Syria US Military Campaign,
author Stephen Gowans observes:
“Now,
it appears that Washington is on the cusp of pressing ahead with its
planned campaign of military action. The New York Times has reported
that ‘Pentagon planners envision a military campaign’ to destroy
ISIS ‘in its sanctuary inside Syria’ that could last ‘at least
36 months.’ According to The Wall Street Journal, airstrikes would
support anti-Assad fighters unaligned with ISIS, who would be
bankrolled by $500 million in US funding, and backed by a global
coalition, including the UK and Australia, that would ‘provide a
range of assistance, including humanitarian aid and weapons.’ These
countries could also join the United States in an air-war over
Syria.”
It
should not be considered a coincidence that at the same time, a
polished, sophisticated and highly financed “Save Syria” campaign
is being created in the board rooms of the Empire’s favourite
Harvard boys.
Where,
under the organization Avaaz, the public hasn’t acquiesced to an
air strike on Syria, the New York public relations firm Purpose
Inc. has stepped in.
Purpose
is a for-profit enterprise that is marketed to appear like a
non-profit. Their area of expertise is behavioural change.
“[Purpose]
has a non-profit arm, which incubates protests and accepts donations.
This is cross-subsidised by its for-profit arm, which makes money in
a variety of ways. It sells consulting services to big companies such
as Google and Audi, and to charities such as the Bill & Melinda
Gates Foundation and the American Civil Liberties Union.” – The
Economist
GetUp,
Avaaz and Purpose co-founder Jeremy Heimans, 2010.
Purpose
Inc.: The Crème de la Crème Agents of Behavioural Change
Purpose
| Avaaz Co-Founders
Vision:
“Purpose is a global initiative that draws on leading technologies,
political organizing and behavioral
economics to
build powerful, tech-savvy movements that can transform
culture and
influence policy.”
Avaaz
and GetUp co-founders Jeremy
Heimans (CEO)
and David Madden [2] are also founders of the New York consulting
firm, Purpose Inc.
Avaaz
was created in part by MoveOn,
a Democratic Party associated Political Action Committee (or PAC),
formed in response to the impeachment of President Clinton. Avaaz and
MoveOn are funded in part by convicted inside-trader and billionaire
hedge fund mogul, George Soros.
Avaaz
affiliate James Slezak is also identified as a co-founder and CEO of
Purpose at its inception in 2009.
The
secret behind the success of both Avaaz and Purpose is their reliance
upon and expertise in behavioural
change.
While
the behavioural change tactics used by Avaaz are on public display,
double-breasted, for-profit Purpose, with its non-profit arm, sells
their expertise behind the scenes to further the interest of hegemony
and capital. Whether it be a glossy campaign to
help facilitate yet another illegal “humanitarian intervention”
led by aggressive U.S. militarism (an oxymoron if there ever was
one), or the creation of a new global “green” economy, Purpose is
the consulting firm that the wolves of Wall Street and oligarchs
alike depend upon to make it happen.
Make
no mistake, the Yale (for example, Avaaz co-founder and former U.S.
Representative*Tom
Perriello)
and Harvard graduates that comprise the “Avaaz boys” (many having
been groomed by McKinsey
and Company)
are considered “the dream team” by the globe’s most powerful
capitalists, including those at the United Nations and the World
Bank. Avaaz co-founder Andrea Madden works for the World Bank in
Burma [Myanmar]. Her husband is Avaaz co-founder David Madden who has
taken up residence in Burma. [March
23, 2013: Western
Media Celebrates Faux Progress in Myanmar] Madden has co-founded a
marketing firm, Parami
Road in
Myanmar: “Our clients are mostly international companies entering
Myanmar and they demand an international standard of work.”
“After
years of isolation, Myanmar is opening up. Opportunities abound.
However international companies have little experience here and local
firms have little experience working with them. Parami Road meets
this need.” – Parami
website
Another
key co-founder of Avaaz is none other than pro-war, pro-Israel, U.S.
Democrat Tom Perriello, former U.S. Representative (represented the
5th District of Virginia from 2008 to 2010) and founding member of
the House Majority Leader’s National Security Working Group.
As demonstrated in
the 2012 investigative report on Avaaz, Perriello’s curriculum
vitae, built upon privilege within elite circles, is quite
extensive.

The
former Managing Director of Partnerships for “Purpose” is Marilia
Bezerra. From 2006 to 2011 Bezerra held an integral position within
the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) executive leadership. As Clinton
Global Initiative director of commitments, Bezerra led the redesign
of member engagement and commitments services into a
year-round operation. From 2007 to 2008, Bezerra held the
position of sponsorship manager of the Clinton Global Initiative
where she directly managed five major sponsorship accounts, including
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Procter & Gamble, valued at
over $2 million dollars. From 2006 to 2008, Bezerra held the position
of Commitment Development Senior Manager for the Clinton Global
Initiative. In 2009, Bezerra was Deputy Director of Commitments for
the Clinton Global Initiative.
One
should note that in the case of many NGOs, on 990 tax forms it
appears as though those at the helm are paid minimally, if at all.
Rather than salaries, many founders of institutions make immense fees
via consulting services where their names are not identified on 990
forms. In the case of Avaaz, co-founder Ricken Patel does take a
salary (approx. $190,000.00 per year) plus consulting fees.
Consulting fees must be considered the bread and butter of many
“progressives” whose incomes rival CEOs of multinational
corporations. The salaries and incomes are incredible when one
accounts for the fact that many NGOs, such as Avaaz, rake in millions
of dollars in donations from well-intentioned and hard-working
citizens who are at or below the poverty line.

Purpose
Inc. (with its co-founders) is a favourite of high-finance websites
such as The Economist and Forbes and sells its consulting services
and branding/marketing campaigns to Google, Audi, the American Civil
Liberties Union (ACLU), The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and
many others that comprise the world’s most powerful corporations
and institutions. In 2012, it raised $3m from investors. “Ford
Foundation, which has given Purpose’s non-profit arm a grant,
reckons it is shaping up to be “one of the blue-chip social
organisations of the future.” [Source] Purpose,
like many other foundations, such as Rockefeller (who initially
incubated 1Sky which merged with 350.org in 2011), also serves as an
“incubator of social movements.” [Further
reading on Purpose]
Heimans,
the Avaaz front man of Purpose, is a darling of
the high-finance corporate world. “In 2011, Jeremy received the
Ford Foundation’s 75th anniversary Visionaries Award. The World

World e-Government Forum has named Jeremy and Purpose co-founder
David Madden among the “Top 10 People Who Are Changing the World of
the Internet and Politics.” [Source]
“Who
are we? Three
years after the peaceful uprising in Syria, politicians and the media
have largely forgotten what the UN calls ‘the greatest humanitarian
tragedy of our time.’ But we haven’t.” — Front

Civil Defence” website
The
March Campaign #withSyria | Over 130 Partners
Purpose’s March
campaign #withSyria website(which doubles
as a hash tagfor
Twitter) partners
include:
Open Society Foundation (George Soros), Amnesty International,
Christian Aid, Care, Friends of the Earth, Oxfamand
many more of the largest “humanitarian” NGOs within the
non-profit industrial complex which makes up a billion dollar
industry. [Full list of
partners: http://marchcampaign.withsyria.com/partners0].
Utilizing the consumer culture’s celebrity fetish to sell war (and
the illusory “green economy“)
is a vital marketing strategy of Purpose. In the case of #withSyria,
famed street artist Banksyhas
reworked his “Young Girl” famed graffiti stencil in
support of the campaign.
On the main page of this website the behavioural change strategists
at Purpose promote a slick, emotive video of a white child (in
America) slowly becoming traumatized by the violence in Syria. No
doubt, Purpose’s marketing executives have taken this avenue
because they know that the majority of Euro-Americans with privilege
simply are not moved by images of suffering children that are
non-Caucasian. Non-White children being slaughtered by imperial
states became normalized for most Euro-American citizens long ago.
And
of course corporate
media is
not far away to promote the
cries for war peace.
Consider today, on September 17, 2014, ABC “reports“:
“What
if we could reverse the explosion of a bomb? A group of 130
organizations from around the world,
known collectively as the ‘With Syria’ campaign, released a video
Wednesday that shows just what that would look like. The campaign
hopes to bring attention to the violence in Syria. (video) Warning:
Contains disturbing imagery. In the video, the act of a bomb
exploding near children playing is reversed: The blood returns to
their heads, the children stand back up, run in reverse and continue
the game they were playing. A message says, ‘We can’t reverse
what’s happened in Syria, but we can change how the story ends.’”
Indeed
Purpose is being paid to bring about the ending that the elites have
hired them to ensure.
“Even
more impressive than her military, America has built the most
sophisticated propaganda machinery the planet has ever seen.” –
Garikai Chengu
Free
Syrian Voices partners
include Amnesty International, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights
Network, FIDH, Front Line Defenders, Human Rights Watch, Reporters
Without Borders and “other international, regional and Syrian
organizations” – which conveniently go unnamed.
Such
emotionally charged campaigns are critical tools for empire. They
have become critical (and successful) in building the acquiescence
required for “humanitarian
interventions”
(aka regime change with extensive “collateral damage” thrown in
for good measure).
“In
the IC
Magazine publication Communications
in Conflict,
is noted a new form of psychological warfare termed ‘false
hope.’
False hope, as a tool for subverting social movements, is
unparalleled in its effectiveness. What once was crudely accomplished
through political repression, censorship, educational indoctrination
and misleading propaganda, is now supplemented, if not surpassed,
through vertical integration of the non-profit industrial complex.
Where Wall Street once had to rely on threats and bribery to
intimidate or corrupt social movements, it now has a vast army of
neoliberal foundations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and
social media at its disposal.” —
Jay Taber, False
Hope,
September 6, 2014
It
is important to note that Purpose is a for-profit business
strategically presented as though it is a non-profit (similar to the
Change.org petition site). This begs the question of who is financing
the Syrian campaigns. The fact that a group of wealthy elites from
Harvard living privileged lifestyles in New York City (and abroad)
decide, via glossy marketing campaigns, who will live or die on the
other side of the world is the ultimate representation of whitism and
racism – an egregious affront to people everywhere. [Further
reading on Purpose]
“If
there is any doubt concerning the nefarious undertones of
subversiveness in these NGO dealings, [National Endowment for

lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA.’
What was once done at night under the cloak of ‘imperialism’ is
now done during the day under the guise of ‘humanitarianism.’” —WKOG

In essence, NGOs have become an indispensable instrument of
destabilization and regime change for imperial states and hegemonic
interests. NGOs also serve as the primary agents to implant
neoliberal policies and western ideologies in targeted states to
advance and protect the interests of the NGOs’ funders.

a decade on, with civilian deaths that amount to millions, I’m sure
the Iraqis are most grateful. It must be noted that Eli Pariser, too,
is a co-founder of Avaaz and Co-Founder and Executive Director of

Purpose
Inc. strategically employs images, carefully worded text and slick
video that provoke intense emotion. Key language includes children,
refugees, regime, and their work “in the most dangerous place in
the world.”
“A
year ago today, the
Syrian government used Sarin gas against its own people killing over
a thousand, many of them children.The
world was outraged and demanded Assad destroy his stockpile of
chemical weapons. Today chlorine gas is still being used on civilian
neighbourhoods, rolled out the back of helicopters in rusty ‘barrel
bombs.’”

by Designer : FaDi zyada whose
work is also featured on the Heinrich
Von Arabien Foundation website.
This same website features an
absurd photo of
Syrians holding up a poster that features a “thumbs up”
illustration for USA and the UN.
Exploiting
the death of Syrian children to provoke air strikes and military
aggression demonstrates that such agencies go to any extreme to
further American foreign policy. Note that the very carnage described
above: “killing
over a thousand, many of them children” is
par for the course for the U.S. military, which carries out such
atrocities on innocent civilians, including children, on a daily
basis, all over the world. But don’t expect an Avaaz or Purpose
campaign against the Obama Regime any time soon. They will be too
busy under the guise of their NGO MoveOn, working on his re-election.
The
following quote represents the real purpose of Purpose:
“The
media may have turned away from
what’s unfolding daily in Syria but today we all have the tools to
tell the world the truth. Please share widely and remember the
children of Syria in your thoughts today.”
The
lapdog media have not turned away, but much of the public has. It’s
the job of Purpose to employ netwar methods (“a form of low

“It’s
past time for President Obama to present a plan for dealing with the
humanitarian crisis in Syria.” — Purpose Inc. Marketing Firm
“Today
we remember the more than 1,300 who lost their lives in the Ghouta
chemical weapons attacks. Let’s also remember those +150,000 who
face torture and death while being detained.” — Purpose Inc.
Marketing Firm
Let’s
not mention Guantanamo Bay, AbuGhraib
and a mile long list of the Obama administration’s involvement in
torture, shall we? Syria certainly demonstrates that the first
casualty of war (in this case a destabilization effort) is truth. The
following excerpt is from the articleFoley
& Sotloff’s Reporting Show Why the US Should Stop Its
Proxy War on Syria, which
lays bare that “both journalists documented the reality
of Free Syria Army”:
“While
in Turkey Sotloff broadcast news of Syrian rebels being found and
arrested with chemical weapon Sarin gas. He used Twitter to
send out the Turkish news report. That was in May, three months
before the August 21 2013 chemical weapons deaths in outer Damascus.
The Syrian rebels were arrested by Turkish police but quickly
released, giving evidence to claims of Turkish government support for
Nusra. Sotloff was puzzled why the mainstream media was not giving
this event coverage.”
“This
Thursday marks the one year anniversary of the chemical weapons
attack that took the lives of over 1,000 Syrians. Since then tens of
thousands more have been killed by different methods. Starvation is
one. But the
international media and world leaders still haven’t come together
to put an end to it.”
— Purpose Inc. Marketing Firm
Above
image: Another call for “world
leaders” to “come together to put an end to it.” Yet
while Purpose may cry crocodile tears over the starvation of Syrians,
Avaaz has asked for tough
sanctions against
Syria. Purpose and Avaaz want to “have their cake and eat it too”
– while Syrian lives are destroyed by the oligarchs that both
Purpose and Avaaz serve.
The
following video highlights human rights investigator and
award-winning journalist, Keith Harmon Snow, detailing the corrupt
NGOs and their portrayal of Africa in order to illicit funds. Snow
must be considered one of our finest Western reporters for obtaining
true independent, grassroots news from the continent of Africa.
Within the lecture, Snow discusses the psyops/propaganda
strategically orchestrated behind the “Save Darfur”
campaigns/movements which, in 2004, began to saturate the populace.
At the helm of this “movement” was “The Center for American
Progress.”
The
Center for American Progress is closely connected with the same
players that founded and financed Avaaz. Today, with Avaaz at the
forefront, the non-profit industrial complex has been appointed
trusted messenger of a grotesque and disturbing ideology; nothing
less than a complete reflection and validation of the U.S.
administration’s rhetoric intended to justify the annihilation and
occupation of sovereign states under the false pretense of
“humanitarian intervention” and “responsibility to protect.”

“The
Syrian government has been dropping ‘barrel bombs’ on civilian
areas despite
a UN order to stop, targeting
schools and hospitals. Those
too poor to flee their homes can only hope that if the bomb drops,
the White Helmets will be there to help get them out.…
Let’s tell the world about the White Helmets and help get them the
support they need.” — Purpose Inc. Marketing Firm

Firms
and agencies such as Purpose write and develop the scripts and design
the sets. They bring the stories to life, strategically exploit and
manipulate our emotions, ultimately ensuring we come to accept and
partake in their politically acceptable means of discourse –
discourse sanctioned (and financed) by the empire.
“Syrians
welcome Iraq’s Yazidi refugees into their country with warm meals,
giving them their clothes and in some cases opening up their homes.”
– Purpose Inc. Marketing Firm
The
above quote is representative of perhaps one too many spin doctors,
for who is allowing Iraq’s Yazidi refugees into Syria, if not the
Assad government? Indeed, Assad’s government has accepted more
refugees per capita than any other country in the Middle East.
“In
the wake of Robin Williams’ death, the people of Idlib remember the
actor/comedian with a quote on freedom.” — Purpose Inc. Marketing
Firm
This
image takes absurdity to a new level. Recap: In the midst of being
bombed, starved, and rained on by chemical weapons, Syrians take time
to pay homage to an American actor/comedian (because the love of the
America that is destroying the Middle East is so great), by quoting a
line from a genie in a bottle from a scene in an animated Disney
movie and creating a banner in the English language.
“Understand what
this infographic says,
and you’ll understand why The Syria Campaign exists. And why you
and your friends need to join. http://bit.ly/VlYOsi”
— Purpose Inc. Marketing Firm
In
the infographic above, Purpose deliberately keeps the stats limited
to 2014. Otherwise they would have to visualize the millions of Iraqi
citizens who have been murdered due to the U.S. illegal war and
occupation in Iraq. Further, Purpose gives no attention to the deaths
in Ukraine, Honduras, Libya, Haiti, Congo (millions) and all of the
other countries being decimated by Imperialism and foreign
interference.
“Tell
Obama we need a
plan set forth to address the worsening humanitarian crisis in
Syria. bit.ly/1nITTtO”
— Purpose Inc. Marketing Firm
The
message is clear. Purpose wants the green light for military
intervention in Syria, well-cloaked under the guise of
humanitarianism – an oxymoron if there ever was one.
“How
were you to know you were approving posts from one of the world’s
most violent dictators? A man who’s ordered the dropping of bombs
on hospitals and primary schools?” — Purpose Inc. Marketing Firm
“Syrian
dictator Bashar Assad has been re-elected and he can thank Facebook
for being a propaganda platform.” — Purpose Inc. Marketing Firm
“It
is critical to note that the imperialist powers (inclusive of the UN)
do not criticize or demonize or withdraw their support from such
leaders on any ethical or moral ground. Denunciation of state leaders
and emotive language is merely theatre. Rather, the imperialist
states strategically set out to destroy any state leader that is
unwilling to be controlled by US interests and foreign policy. A case
in point is unwavering support of the Saudi royal family responsible
for atrocious human rights violations to which the imperialist
countries turn a blind eye.” (from Avaaz: Imperialist Pimps of

Consider
that the colour of the national flag of the Libyan Jamahiriya (from
1977 to 2011; The Great
Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya)
was pure green in colour. Unlike the one featured in the Avaaz
campaign. The green colour traditionally symbolizes Islam. In Libya,
green was also a colour traditionally used to represent
the Tripolitania region
(commonly referred to as Tripoli) that NATO forces fought to seize.
The iconic green flag was chosen by Libyan leader/brother Muammar
Gaddafi to symbolize his political philosophy (after his
revolutionary Green
Book).
On 10 March 2011, France was the first state to recognize the council
as the official government of Libya, as well as the first to allow
the Libyan embassy staff to raise the red, black, green and white
flag that would replace the green flag of the Libyan Jamahiriya. On
21 March, the “new” flag was flown by the Permanent Mission of
Libya to the United Nations and appeared on their official website …
this flag, which reigned prior to the Libyan Jamahiriya, is now the
only flag used by the United Nations to represent Libya. According to
the following UN statement: “Following the adoption by the General
Assembly of resolution 66/1, the Permanent Mission of Libya to the
United Nations formally notified the United Nations of a Declaration
by the National Transitional Council of 3 August 2011 changing the
official name of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya to “Libya” as well as
a decision to change Libya’s national flag to the original.”
[Wikipedia]
On
August 24, 2011 it is reported by
yet another mouthpiece for empire that:
“As
Libyan rebels take over, embassies worldwide have been replacing the
old Libyan flag with a new one…. But
starting in February, a new flag – red, black, and green with a
white star and crescent in the center – has been hoisted at Libyan
embassies around the world, from
Switzerland to Bangladesh.
It is the same flag being flown by the jubilant rebels themselves as
they descend on Tripoli.”
In
the article, the words “U.S. funded mercenaries” have been
replaced with “the jubilant rebels.” It would be well worth
investigating who ordered, manufactured and paid for thousands of
these new flags (prior to or commencing in February of 2011) and
ensured they would replace the national flag of the Libyan Jamahiriya
that flourished from 1977 to 2011.

December 29, 2004: “Over two days in early December approximately
three-dozen religious activists met at the Washington office of the
Center for American Progress, a recently formed think tank headed by
former Clinton chief of staff John Podesta. The Res Publica-driven
agenda for the closed-door gathering included sessions on “building
the movement infrastructure” and “objectives, strategies and core
issues.” Res Publica was founded by Tom Perriello, Ricken Patel and
Tom Pravda. Avaaz was founded by Res Publica, MoveOn.org, Executive
Director Ricken Patel, Tom Perriello, Tom Pravda, Eli Pariser (MoveOn
Executive Director), Andrea Woodhouse (consultant to the World Bank)
Jeremy Heimans (co-founder of GetUp! and Purpose), and Australian
entrepreneur David Madden (co-founder of GetUp and Purpose). Avaaz
co-founder Tom Perriello is now President and CEO of Center for
American Progress. Perriello and Patel also co-founded and
co-directed DarfurGenocide.org which officially launched in 2004.
“DarfurGenocide.org is a project of Res Publica, a group of public
sector professionals dedicated to promoting good governance and
virtuous civic cultures.” Today, this organization is now known as
“Darfurian Voices”: “Darfurian Voices is a project of 24 Hours
for Darfur.” The U.S. Department of State and the Open Society
Institute were just two of the organizations funders and
collaborating partners. Other Darfurian Voices partners include
Avaaz, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), International
Centre for Transitional Justice, Darfur Rehabilitation Project,
Humanity United, Darfur People’s Association of New York, Genocide
Intervention, Witness, Yale Law School, The Sigrid Rausing Trust and
the Bridgeway Foundation. Despite the carefully crafted language and
images that tug at your emotions, such NGOs were created for and
exist for one primary purpose — to protect and further American
policy and interests, under the guise of philanthropy and
humanitarianism. Of all the listed partners of DarfurGenocide.org,
with exception of one located in London England, all of the entities
involved are American and based on US soil.
CLARIFICATION (August
10, 2018): In an earlier version of this article, a sentence reads
“Avaaz co-founder James Slezak is also identified as a co-founder
and CEO of Purpose at its inception in 2009.” This was intended to
read as it reads now: “Avaaz affiliate James
Slezak is also identified as a co-founder and CEO of Purpose at its
inception in 2009.” The article references the original researched
bio of Slezak: “Full profile of James Slezak: Avaaz: Imperialist
Pimps of Militarism, Protectors of the Oligarchy, Trusted
Facilitators of War | Part II, Section III [link]”.
The original research does not list Slezak as an Avaaz co-founder. We
regret the error was not caught in the editing process. Further
clarification Slezak co-foundered “Win Back Respect” with Avaaz
co-founders Andrea Woodhouse (World Bank), spouse, David Madden
(World Bank) and Jeremy Heimans (co-founder of MoveOn and GetUp!).
Win Back Respect was supported/funded by MoveOn (co-founder of Avaaz)
and Soros Fund Management. Soros Open Society Institute provided
the original seed money for Avaaz. The fifth co-founder of Win Back
Respect was Brian Vogt, Senior Advisor to the Partnership for a
Secure America.

====================================
Opvallend de gelijkenis met Pax Christie, of zoals het tegenwoordig wordt genoemd: ‘PAX’. Ook deze organisatie die zogenaamd de wereldvrede wil bevorderen, heeft meermaals opgeroepen tot oorlog, dit nam een aanvang onder voorzitterschap van oorlogshitser Mient Jan Faber…….
Al weer
enige tijd geleden bracht Brassscheck TV de hieronder opgenomen video met
bijgaande tekst. Het handelt hier om het voorzien van Irak onder
Saddam Hoessein van biologische en chemische wapens door de VS (in de 80er jaren van de vorige eeuw)…….
Blijkbaar
vindt YouTube dat dit soort informatie niet geschikt is voor zelfs
tieners, ofwel men mag de vuile VS geschiedenis niet kennen, anders
gezegd leeftijdcensuur >> veronderstel dat je met dergelijke informatie weer zo’n hippiebeweging als in de 60er jaren van de vorige eeuw kweekt, een generatie die zich verzet tegen de continue illegale oorlogsvoering
door de VS……
Vergeet
voorts niet dat ook Nederland een ‘mooie rol’ speelt in het leveren van gifgas aan het regime Hoessein……… Bolkestein, destijds VVD minister van
BuZa, gaf tegen het advies van ambtenaren en deskundigen in, van Anraat
toestemming enorme hoeveelheden grondstoffen voor het fabriceren van gifgas te leveren aan Irak, ofwel Bolkestein gaf exportvergunningen voor onderdelen van chemische wapens…….
Van Anraat werd
veroordeeld voor het leveren van onderdelen waarmee gifgas werd gemaakt en VVD oorlogsmisdadiger Bolkestein, de ploert die tegen alle adviezen in daarvoor een exportvergunning afgaf, gedraagt zich nog
even arrogant als destijds, werkt al jaren o.a. als parlementariër in Brussel
en dat tegen een onbeschoft hoog salaris…….
‘Terug naar de VS’: bij de eerste illegale oorlog van de VS tegen Irak, hebben VS militairen in Irak de eerder door de VS geleverde voorraden gifgas verzameld en het land uitgebracht, dit om de sporen van deze enorme misdaad te wissen……
Met dat gifgas heeft het bewind Hoessein een enorm aantal Koerden en Iraniërs vermoord (in de Eerste Golfoorlog, een oorlog van Irak tegen Iran), wat betreft de Iraniërs de zoveelste enorme misdaad van de VS tegen dat volk, immers de VS wilde destijds maar wat graag dat Hoessein Iran aan zou vallen, vandaar ook de leveringen van gifgas (door de VS)……
Leeftijdscensuur is in feite een vorm van geschiedvervalsing, dit daar het overgrote deel van de jongeren die deze informatie niet te zien krijgt, blijft geloven dat hun overheid ethisch en moreel verantwoord handelt, terwijl de overheid in de VS bijvoorbeeld sinds het begin van deze eeuw al meer dan 2,5 miljoen mensen heeft vermoord……. Verder steunt de VS dictatoriale regimes als Saoedi-Arabië, als het moet zelfs bij het uitvoeren van een genocide, zoals nu daadwerkelijk het geval is in Jemen…..
In feite kan je e.e.a. ook nog in verband brengen met Julian Assange, die door de Britse politie werd ontvoert uit de ambassade van Ecuador en nu in gijzeling is genomen door de Britten…. Immers met de informatie op WikiLeaks werd en wordt pas goed duidelijk gemaakt hoe smerig de buitenlandpolitiek van de VS was en is….
Zie de
video en geeft het door!!

Lee
Camp de schrijver van het hieronder opgenomen artikel, eerder
gepubliceerd op Truthdig en door mij overgenomen van Information Clearing House, stelt in zijn openingszin dat het
niet de eerste keer is dat de VS regering en de massamedia het volk
van de VS een oorlog in sleept, dan wel een staatsgreep organiseert die
onherroepelijk desastreuze gevolgen zal hebben….. Die uitspraak
gaat wel op voor het eufemisme van het jaar, immers de VS
geschiedenis vanaf 1945 staat er bol van!*
Met
een terugkijk op zijn leve ten tijde van de tweede illegale oorlog
van de VS tegen Irak in 2003 en hoe hij toen de zaken bekeek, waar
hij het gevoel kreeg dat de argumenten voor die oorlog niet klopten,
ontleedt Camp 4 illegale oorlogen van de VS die op valse gronden
werden gevoerd.
Camp
begint met de Spaans-Amerikaanse oorlog, waar de reden voor een VS aanval het zinken was van oorlogsschip USS Maine in de
haven van Havanna. Daarna haalt hij de Vietnam oorlog aan en het
conflict in de Golf van Tonkin, waar VS oorlogsschepen ‘schoten op
weersverschijnselen die ze op de radar zagen……’ Oorlogsmisdadiger Robert McNamara wist op grond van deze in feite
false flag operatie**, president Johnson te bewegen de strijd
tegen Noord-Vietnam te intensiveren tot een ‘totale oorlog……’ Later gaf McNamara toe dat het Golf van Tonkin incident nooit
plaatsvond…… Let wel: deze oorlog kostte miljoenen het leven, deze slachtoffers werden niet alleen in Vietnam vermoord (3,8 miljoenmensen), maar ook in buurlanden Laos en Cambodja……
Vervolgens
komt de oorlog tegen Irak aan bod, een illegale oorlog waarvan
iedereen kan weten dat deze op basis van leugens werd aangegaan door
de VS, een oorlog die intussen aan meer dan 2 miljoen Irakezen het
leven heeft gekost (Camp noemt overigens een aantal van 1 miljoen
Irakese slachtoffers, nogal een verschil met schattingen die in Irak
werden gemaakt door deskundigen, al blijft een aantal van 1 miljoen
doden, een verschrikking waar je je amper iets bij voor kan
stellen….)
Camp
komt als eerste (hij begint vanaf het vierde voorbeeld) met het
bombarderen van Syrië. Jammer dat hij niet wijst op het feit dat de
VS al in 2006 heeft besloten dat Assad weg moest, niet in de laatste
plaats daar hij pijpleidingen over de grond van Syrië weigerde,
gaspijpleidingen van de Golfstaten richting Zuid-Europa…… (waarmee 2 vliegen in 1 klap worden
geveld, immers met dat gas zou Rusland een afzet probleem krijgen in
Europa…..). De VS heeft de opstand in Syrië georganiseerd en geregisseerd, waar deze terreurentiteit gewapende figuren van buiten Syrië als provocateurs heeft ingezet tijdens
die ‘opstand…’ Helaas voor de VS, maar deze keer mislukte de
opzet……
Camp
noemt veel meer feiten en zaken die de reguliere (massa-) media niet
brengen. Het verhaal eindigt tenslotte bij Venezuela, waarover Camp
o.a. vertelt dat oorlogsmisdadiger Bolton zonder blikken of blozen
stelde dat de VS uit is op de enorme olievoorraad van Venezuela (de
op 1 na grootste voorraad ter wereld, volgens Camp de grootste maar dat klopt m.i. niet). Deze bekentenis van Bolton werd niet eens gebracht door de massamedia, nee zij houden vol dat de arme
Venezolanen geholpen moeten worden, daar het hen aan alles ontbreekt,
‘zelfs aan tandpasta…’ (zie daarvoor ook de video van Lee Camp, die onder het artikel is weergegeven, waar hij ook op de ‘honger’ in Venezuela ingaat)
Niet
genoemd door Camp, maar de VN en het Rode Kruis hebben de VS terecht
gewezen met haar poging humanitaire hulp te politiseren,
daar deze organisaties al lang humanitaire hulp verstrekken in
Venezuela, er zijn zelfs 20 keer meer humanitaire hulpgoederen in
Venezuela (waaronder medicijnen) dan de VS heeft klaarstaan…..
Humanitaire hulpgoederen die zoals gezegd wel medicijnen bevatten, in
tegenstelling tot de humanitaire hulp uit de VS, terwijl de westerse massamedia en het grootste deel van de westerse politici in navolging van hun collega’s in de VS, dat keer op keer wel
stellen……. Nota bene USAID, de organisatie die de VS zendingen gereed maakt, heeft zelf toegegeven
dat zich geen medicijnen tussen die VS hulpgoederen bevinden….. Alweer een feit dat de westerse reguliere media niet hebben gemeld……
Lees
het volgende artikel en zegt het ajb voort, tijd dat de massamedia ook in
ons land eindelijk de waarheid brengen over Venezuela…..
We
Are Being Lied Into War Again
This
is not the first time our government and our media have conspired to
drag the American people into war with another country—or helped
create a coup that will inevitably have disastrous results
By
Lee Camp
March
08, 2019 “Information
Clearing House” – I was 23 when we invaded Iraq,
and I wasn’t sure it was based on lies, but something deep down in
me—just behind the spleen—told me it was based on lies. Kinda
like if your blind date shows up and you notice he has a 2004 flip
phone. It seems vaguely worrisome, and no explanation he can
haltingly supply will put you at ease. Plus, anyone else who acts
like it’s normal also becomes suspect.
The
invasion of Iraq just felt like it was a lie to me. And it turned out
that I was right, that it was a lie, and that the entirety of the
mainstream media and our government were either wrong or lying and,
most of the time, both.
Now
our government and our media are trying their damnedest to lie us
into another war, this one with Venezuela. They tell us the
Venezuelan people are desperate for necessities like toothpaste,
while independent journalists show
piles of affordable toothpaste in
Caracas.
And
even if they didn’t have toothpaste, that hardly seems like a good
reason for America to be dropping our long-range bad decisions on the
heads of innocent people. Turning a town into an impact crater for
the sake of a battle to stop gingivitis seems a bit extreme.
The
mainstream media and nearly the entirety of the U.S. government tell
us Juan Guaido is the “interim president,” even though he was
never elected to that position and the current president is still
leading the Venezuelan government and military. So I guess this
“interim” is the time between Guaido being a nobody and the time
when he goes back to being nobody but now gets to tell women at
parties, “You know, I used to be interim president.”
The
mainstream media also inform us that the Venezuelan military set U.S.
aid trucks on fire, when video shows opposition
forces doing it.
Furthermore, the idea of Venezuela taking “aid” from the country
whose sanctions are crushing them would be like the Standing Rock
Sioux accepting gift packages from the construction crews
swiss-cheesing their land to lay down the Dakota Access pipeline (DAPL).
Unless the boxes are filled with industrial paper towels to help
clean up oil spills, I fail to see how it would be beneficial.
Sometimes you do indeed have to look a gift horse in the mouth (or
should I say “gift
dog”).
This
is not the first time our government and our media have conspired to
drag the American people into war with another country—or helped
create a coup that will inevitably have disastrous results. So I
thought this would be a prime moment to go through the top four
greatest hits.
Number
4: The Spanish-American War
This
is widely considered to be the birth of modern media propaganda,
because it was the first war actually started
by the media.
Newspapers fabricated atrocities in the never-ending quest for more
readers.
And
as The
New York Times noted,
“[T]he sensationalistic reporting of the sinking of the American
battleship Maine in Havana harbor on Feb. 15, 1898 … and all the
other egregious reporting leading up to the Spanish-American War
might have been considered merely cartoonish if it hadn’t led to a
major international conflict.”
I
think maybe The New York Times got that quote confused with its
mission statement: “Cartoonishly dragging America into major
international conflict since 1851!”
Number
3: The Vietnam War
Sure,
most everyone knows the catastrophic Vietnam War was precipitated by
the Gulf of Tonkin incident, in which U.S. naval vessels were fired
upon by villainous North Vietnamese torpedo boats. Following that
skirmish, Defense Secretary Robert McNamara recommended that
President Johnson retaliate, and the full-force Vietnam War had
begun. But most Americans still don’t know that there was no Gulf
of Tonkin incident—unless you count U.S. naval ships literally
firing their weapons at weather events they saw
on the radar.
The 2003 documentary “The Fog of War” finally revealed the truth.
Former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara confessed that the Gulf
of Tonkin attack did
not actually happen.
That’s
right. It never happened. Much like leprechauns or dragons or Simon
Cowell’s talent, it was a figment of our national imagination.
The
lies of our government, followed by the fawning, credulous reporting
from our media, led to the death of 58,000 U.S. service members and
as many as 3.8 million Vietnamese.
The
United States government has one of the most powerful Departments of
Fabrication and Falsification ever assembled. It’s a modern marvel
on par with the Great Pyramid of Giza and Rafael Nadal’s
down-the-line running forehand.
Number
2: The Iraq War
Of
course, there’s the most obvious lie about Iraq, i.e., that Saddam
Hussein had so many weapons of mass destruction that he would often
use one to scrub hard-to-reach places while in the tub. But that
wasn’t the only falsehood manifested to bring about our complete
annihilation of the sovereign nation Saddam ruled over. There were
others, such as the idea that Saddam was connected to al-Qaida and
perhaps played a role in the 9/11 attacks. William Safire at The New
York Times, in May
2002, wrote,
“Mohamed Atta, destined to be the leading Sept. 11 suicide
hijacker, was reported last fall by Czech intelligence to have met at
least once with Saddam Hussein’s espionage chief in the Iraqi
Embassy.”
Yes,
Safire was able to polish a load of bullshit so thoroughly it would
sparkle like a sapphire. And that column is still up on the Times’
website, without a correction or retraction. I would say the Times is
only useful for covering the bottom of a birdcage, but I’d fear the
paper would lie your pet cockatoo into an ill-advised invasion,
killing millions.
But
the propaganda didn’t even stop there. There was also the anthrax
attacks following 9/11. Anthrax was mailed to press outlets and the
offices of politicians. To this day, many people still believe it had
something to do with Iraq or al-Qaida because of award-winning
national embarrassments like
Brian Ross.
“Brian
Ross at ABC News wrote ‘the anthrax in the tainted letter sent to
Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle was laced with bentonite’ and
‘bentonite is a trademark of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein’s
biological weapons program.’ ” As Salon so clearly put it,
“All of those factual claims … were completely false,
demonstrably and unquestionably so. … Yet neither ABC nor Ross have
ever retracted, corrected, clarified, or explained these fraudulent
reports.”
And,
as you would expect, following that blatantly false reporting, Brian
Ross did not lose his job. In fact, he wasn’t put out to pasture
from ABC News until
last year,
when he “reported that fired national security adviser Michael
Flynn was ready to testify that Trump told him to contact the
Russians during the campaign.”
That
report—much like the rumors of Brian Ross’s journalistic
integrity—turned out to be absolutely false.
(In
my professional opinion, anyone who had anything to do with the
selling, perpetrating or planning of the Iraq War should never again
hold a position higher than assistant trainee to the guy who picks up
the shit of a dog that does not belong to anyone of any particular
importance. If that position does not exist, we as a nation should
create it just for this moment. Yet, despite my objections, Robert
Mueller (head of the FBI at the time of the invasion and a big
supporter of it) is leading the biggest investigation in the country.
John Bolton, who advocated for the Iraq invasion as far back as the
1990s, is now national security adviser. Bill Kristol, who pushed for
the war and said it would last two months, is now a regular panelist
on MSNBC. And the list goes on.)
Unlike
Defense Secretary McNamara, who admitted the Gulf of Tonkin incident
never happened, we don’t have a smoking gun showing that the Bush
administration created these lies to get us into Iraq. … Oh, wait!
Turns out the paper shredder at the Bush Oval Office was on strike
for a higher minimum wage in 2002, and in fact, we do have a memo
written by Bush’s defense secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, a year before
U.S. forces unleashed a reign of terror on the Iraqi people. His memo
about warwith
Iraq stated, “How
start? US discovers Saddam connection to Sept 11 or to anthrax
attacks? Or maybe a dispute over WMD inspections?”
I’m
not sure what’s more striking—that this memo exists, or that it
sounds like the Bush boys planned a massive international battle the
same way a broke 35-year-old maps out his bad novel that he’s sure
is the ticket out of his mom’s basement.
“How
start horrible bloody war? Maybe Saddam found to moonlight as porn
star?”
Point
is, multiple completely false stories laid the groundwork for an
invasion of Iraq that left well
over 1 million people
dead.
Number
1: The Bombing of Syria
President
Bashar Assad gassed his own people, thereby guaranteeing more
American involvement—and he did it just days after Donald Trump had
told the Pentagon to begin withdrawing troops from Syria. At least,
that’s the story the corporate media repeated on-loop for at least
a month, only pausing every 10 minutes to try desperately to get us
all to buy more things with “baconator” in the name or to seek
out a harder penis.
So
we are expected to believe Assad did the one thing that would ensure
more U.S. involvement just as he was about to win his war? It’s
kinda like how, when I’m about to win a fistfight, I often poke
myself repeatedly in the eye. You know—just to keep it exciting.
Famed
journalists Seymour
Hersh and Robert
Fisk have
done great work showing that the chemical attacks never happened, but
there’s a new update. Just two weeks ago, a BBC producer came
forward and said the Douma, Syria, chemical attack footage
was staged.
His
tweet said that after six months of investigations, he can prove that
no fatalities occurred in the hospital. Yet our breathlessly inept
mainstream American media, with little to no evidence, ran around
saying, “There was a chemical attack! Those poor people! And they
don’t have toothpaste, either! We must bomb them to help them!”
The
overarching point here is that we’ve replaced our media with
stenographers to the ruling elite long ago. The ruling class comes up
with a lie to manufacture American consent for its all-American war
crimes, and that lie is then sprayed like laminate all over average
American citizens. This goes on until such time as any average
citizens who question said lie is looked at like they have two heads,
and one of them is covered in rat shit.
For
the “journalists” who hose the lies across the country the best,
awards and private jets and rooftop drinks with midlevel celebrities
like Chuck Norris await them. Now we’re getting to the point where
the actual rulers—the Trump administration, etc.—are not even
hiding their corruption. John Bolton stated
on Fox News that
the ultimate goal is to steal Venezuela’s oil. But our media
continue to tout the propaganda line. Even after Bolton said that,
you won’t see Anderson Cooper or one of Fox News’ grand wizards
saying, “Venezuela is undergoing a U.S.-backed coup because we’d
like to steal their oil.” It’s truly dizzying that the corporate
media preserve the propaganda even after the “leaders” have
revealed their true sinister intentions.
On
the inside of Wolf Blitzer’s eyelids, the phrase, “Must Defend
the Matrix” blinks in red.
The
propaganda line for Venezuela right now is, “We want to help the
poor Venezuelans.” Well, if you want to help them, then keep
America out of their face. Don’t force them to have anything to do
with the country that came up with drive-through fried food served in
a bucket and opioid nasal sprays. At no point does anyone look at the
Donald Trump presidency and think, “Wow, that country really has
things figured out. I hope they bring some of their great
decision-making to our doorstep.”

(de opgeblazen oorlogshitser en oorlogsmisdadiger Pompeo beweert dat Hezbollah werkzaam is in Venezuela en daar een leger heeft dat gezien zijn woorden amper onder doet voor de gezamenlijke NAVO troepen… ha! ha! ha! Ook voor deze belachelijke beschuldiging is totaal geen bewijs…)
Een
rapport van de OPCW maakt korte metten met de westerse beschuldiging
aan het adres Syrië voor een aanval met chemische wapens, dit keer de gifgasaanval op Douma van 7 april 2018….. Ondanks dat de reguliere
westerse media, inclusief het grootste deel van de westerse politici Syrië hebben aangewezen als de dader……
Het OPCW
rapport kan ook geen link vinden tussen de 43 doden en gevonden
sporen van chlorine op de ‘plaats delict’. Ofwel die 43 doden
zijn niet omgekomen door chlorine, zoals medisch hulpverleners
destijds al aangaven…… De zogenaamd onafhankelijke zendgemachtigde NOS berichtte 5 dagen geleden dat de inspecteurs wel degelijk stellen dat er
chloorgas is gebruikt bij de aanval, daar er sporen zijn gevonden van
‘giftige chemicaliën met chloor’. Echter dat is niet
wat de OPCW stelt, immers het rapport kan geen link vinden tussen de
slachtoffers en de gevonden sporen chlorine….. Zo worden feiten
door de reguliere media verdraait om barbertje Assad te laten hangen……
Er zijn
overblijfselen op de plek van de aanval gevonden van 2 cilinders (canisters) die met geel gas gevuld zijn geweest, eenzelfde cilinder werd in Douma aangetroffen in de werkplaats van ‘gematigde rebellen…..’
Als er
bij de aanval chemische wapens zijn gevonden, hoe vreemd is het dan
dat in de overblijfselen van de 43 doden geen sporen van een
chemische substantie zijn gevonden, die duiden op een aanval met
chemische wapens……. En toch stelt de NOS dat deze mensen werden aangevallen met gifgas (‘door het reguliere Syrische leger’, zoals je begrijpt)
Eén
ding is zeker: volgens wapeninspecteurs van de VN had en heeft Syrië al jaren niet meer de beschikking over chemische wapens, terwijl
algemeen bekend kan worden geacht dat de zogenaamde gematigde
rebellen* de beschikking hadden en hebben over
chemische wapens als chlorine en sarin………
Syrië had totaal geen belang bij een aanval met chemische wapens daar ze de
stad al voor een groot deel hadden ingenomen, bovendien was een
aanval met conventionele wapens veel effectiever geweest…..
Daarentegen hadden de ‘gematigde rebellen’ alle belang bij een
chemische aanval, daar zij aan de verliezende hand waren en een
aanval met chemische wapens zou het offensief van het Syrische leger waarschijnlijk hebben gestopt dan wel vertraagd, vanwege de grote
verontwaardiging die dit voor de zoveelste keer teweeg zou hebben gebracht in de wereld…..
Zoals uit het direct voorafgaande al blijkt, in Syrië een vaker toegepaste tactiek van deze terreurgroepen, een tactiek die onder de noemer ‘false flag operatie’** valt……
De
medisch hulpverleners die de mensen vanwege deze ‘gifgasaanval’ behandelden op de eerste hulp, verklaarden dat deze mensen geen
symptomen vertoonden van blootstelling aan een chemisch wapen, maar alle tekenen
vertoonden van rookvergiftiging gecombineerd met grote hoeveelheden stof in de luchtwegen en longen, dit daar ze
in kelders een veilig heenkomen hadden gezocht, echter door de
bombardementen vulden deze ruimten zich zoals gezegd met rook en
stof……
Kortom:
Douma is een mislukte false flag operatie, waar de gematigde
terreurgroepen vergeten waren burgers te vermoorden met chemische
wapens……
Het volgende artikel nam ik over van NEO (NEW EASTERN OUTLOOK) en werd geschreven door Tony Cartalucci.
The
OPCW (Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons) has
presented its final report regarding an alleged chemical weapons
attack on Douma, Syria on April 7, 2018. Despite attempts by the
Western media to hail it as “proof” that the Syrian government
used chemical weapons in Douma – the report says nothing of the
sort.
In
fact, the report fails to link any of the alleged 43 deaths to
apparent chlorine found at the scene of the alleged attack.
Claims
of the attack were made by US-backed militants on the eve of their
defeat – with the Syrian military retaking Douma the following day.
Initial reports claimed sarin or chlorine chemical weapons were
deployed through the use of two yellow gas canisters modified as
bombs.
No
sarin of any kind was found by OPCW inspectors.
While
the report suggests two modified yellow gas canisters were used in
the attack and that they appeared to have been dropped onto two
buildings (locations 2 and 4), the report also mentions that OPCW
inspectors found a nearly identical canister in a workshop used by
militants to construct weapons.
The
alleged “chemical weapons” attack prompted the United States, UK,
and France to launch missiles strikes against Syrian military targets
on April 14, 2018, long before the first OPCW inspectors even arrived
at the sites of the alleged attack on April 21.
No
Link Between Chlorine and Casualties
The
OPCW report would note video and photographic evidence of alleged
victims of chemical exposure could not be linked to any specific
chemical including traces of chlorine OPCW inspectors found. The
report would specifically claim (emphasis added):
Many
of the signs and symptoms reported by the medical personnel,
witnesses and casualties (as well as those seen in multiple videos
provided by witnesses), their rapid onset, and the large number of
those reportedly affected, indicate exposure to an inhalational
irritant or toxic substance. However, based on the information
reviewed and with the absence of biomedical samples from the dead
bodies or any autopsy records, it is not currently possible
to precisely link the cause of the signs and symptoms to a specific
chemical.
In
other instances, the OPCW report would cite witnesses – including
medical staff who allegedly treated victims of the supposed attack –
who expressed doubts of the presence of any chemicals at all.
The
report would state (emphasis added):
A
number of the interviewed medical staff who were purportedly present
in the emergency department on 7 April emphasised that the
presentation of the casualties was not consistent with that expected
from a chemical attack. They also reported not having
experience in the treatment of casualties of chemical weapons. Some
interviewees stated that no odour emanated from the patients, while
other witnesses declared that they perceived a smell of smoke on the
patients’ clothes.
Other
accounts reviewed by the OPCW suggest a large number of casualties
were owed to smoke and dust inhalation from conventional bombardment.
The
report would specifically state (emphasis added):
Some
witnesses stated that many people died in the hospital on 7 April as
result of the heavy shelling and/or suffocation due to inhalation of
smoke and dust. As many as 50 bodies were lying on the floor
of the emergency department awaiting burial. Others stated that there
were no fatalities in Douma Hospital on 7 April and that no bodies
were brought to the hospital that day.
The
conflicting witness reports, the lack of any evidence linking
chlorine to even a single death on April 7, and other inconsistencies
and contradictions make it impossible to use the report’s
conclusions as “proof” that the Syrian government carried out a
deadly chemical attack on the eve of its victory in Douma.
Similar
Canisters Found in Militant Workshop
While
the Western media has focused on the report’s conclusion that
chlorine was present and possibly emanated from the two canisters
that appear to have been dropped onto two buildings in the area,
another crucial finding has been predictably glossed over.
A
militant-run weapons workshop investigated by OPCW inspectors
revealed a large number of resources for working with chemicals to
make explosives. Among an array of chemicals and equipment associated
with making explosives, a yellow gas canister was found.
The
report would admit:
Although
the team confirmed the presence of a yellow cylinder in the
warehouse, reported in Note Verbale of the Syrian Arab Republic
(Annex 10, point 2) as a chlorine cylinder, due to safety reasons
(risk involved in manipulating the valve of the cylinder, see Figure
A.8.2) it was not feasible to verify or sample the contents. There
were differences in this cylinder compared to those witnessed at
Locations 2 and 4. It should be noted that the cylinder was present
in its original state and had not been altered.
The
lack of interest by the OPCW in the canister despite the obvious
implications of its presence in a weapons workshop controlled by
militants calls into question the inspectors’ diligence and agenda.
The
canister’s “differences” are owed to the fact
that those at locations 2 and 4 were modified to appear as bombs,
while – admittedly – the canister in the militant workshop
remained unaltered.
The
obvious implications of a nearly identical canister turning up in a
militant workshop making weapons is that the militants may likely
have also made the two converted canisters found at locations 2 and
4. OPCW inspectors found other improvised ordnance in the workshop
including, “a number of 20-litre metallic drums, some
fitted with crude cord-type fuses, which appeared to have been filled
with plastic explosives to serve as improvised explosive devices.”
Western
media organizations have tried to dismiss the presence of the
canister at the workshop by suggesting it was a “setup”
orchestrated by the Syrian Arab Army. Huffington Post UK senior
editor Chris York would go as far as
referring to the workshop as:
…the
rebel explosives lab that had been captured by the SAA days before
and which they were desperately trying to make look like a chemical
weapons lab.
In
reality, the OPCW itself would suggest nothing of the sort, and noted
that all of the equipment present was consistent with a weapons
workshop. Nowhere does the OPCW suggest anything was altered –
including the canister – which the OPCW specifically noted “had
not been altered.”
The
presence of a canister nearly identical to those found at locations 2
and 4 in a militant weapons workshop provides at least as much
evidence that militants staged the supposed chemical attack as the
Western media claims the canisters at locations 2 and 4 suggest it
was the Syrian government.
In
the absence of definitive evidence regarding who created and deployed
the canisters found at locations 2 and 4, or how they truly ended up
there, a better question to ask is “why” they
would have ended up there.
Chemical
Weapon Attack in Douma… Cui Bono?
Why
would the Syrian government – in the middle of a major military
offensive it was on the literal eve of concluding in complete
victory, drop only 2 canisters filled with a limited amount chemicals
to kill – at most – 43 people? A simple artillery barrage could
kill just as many people – or very likely – many more.
Despite
claims otherwise, the Syrian government has
derived no benefit whatsoever had
it been behind any of the chemical attacks it has been accused of by
militants and their Western sponsors over the course of the Syrian
conflict.
The
Douma attack – were it the Syrian military – would have served no
tactical, strategic, or political purpose.
Conversely, it would
serve as one of the very few actions the Syrian government could take
to jeopardize its victory by justifying a large scale Western-led
military attack on Syrian forces.
In
fact, just one week after the alleged attack, the US, UK, and France
would indeed launch as many as 100 missiles into Syria in
retaliation, the
Guardian would report.
On
the other hand, militants who had been occupying Douma had every
reason to stage the attack.
By
staging the attack on the eve of their defeat and producing graphic
scenes of human suffering – particularly among children – the
militants would have a propaganda tool readily able to invoke global
public concern, sympathy, and outcry in defense of their cause – a
propaganda tool their Western sponsors eagerly amplified through
their global-spanning media platforms.
With
the United States having previously launched entire wars based on
false accusations of merely possessing chemical weapons, the
militants correctly assumed the US would use the staged attack as a
pretext for further direct military aggression against the
Syrian state – possibly saving them.
The
US still to this day cites “chemical weapons” and the Douma
incident on April 7, 2018 specifically – as part of its pretext to
maintain its illegal occupation of Syrian territory and its continued
support of militants attempting to overthrow the Syrian government.
The
alleged us of “chemical weapons” by the Syrian government also
regularly serves as a primary talking point used by the Western media
when attacking anti-war politicians, pundits, and commentators.
The
OPCW report’s conclusions are too ambiguous to draw a conclusion
one way or the other.
The presence of a nearly identical canister in
a militant workshop raises serious questions and associated
implications suggesting the attack was staged – questions that must
be adequately investigated and answered.
That
the Syrian government gained nothing from the attack and was only
further jeopardized politically and strategically by it – raises
questions about motivations that likewise need to be answered before
drawing conclusions.
But
as the Western media has proven many times before – it is fully
capable of producing entirely irrational lies based on tenuous
evidence or no evidence at all – and even repeating those lies
after being blatantly caught telling them previously.
That
the Western media is still attempting to sell WMD lies regarding
Syria after being caught fabricating them to justify war in
neighboring Iraq should be at the forefront of the global public’s
mind when considering their “interpretations” of this latest OPCW
report regarding Douma, Syria.

PS: ook voor de grote gifgasaanval in 2013 werd Syrië vrijgesproken van schuld, dit door de VN….. De westerse massamedia en politici houden tot op de dag van vandaag vol dat Syrië wel degelijk de dader was……

wel psychopathische moordenaars, verkrachters en martelbeulen, die

Afgelopen zaterdag was het weer bal in Frankrijk: de Gele Hesjes gingen andermaal de straat op en dat hebben ze geweten ook, de politie trad met veel geweld op tegen deze demonstranten, demonstranten die al goed pissig waren vanwege de arrestatie van één van de initiatiefnemers van deze protesten, Eric Drouet…… (hij is inmiddels weer vrijgelaten) Uiteraard werd het ongebreidelde politie geweld door een deel van de demonstranten beantwoord met geweld…..
Eric Drouet na zijn arrestatie
Met flashbang granaten (stungranaat) , rubber kogels en het chemische wapen traangas werden de demonstranten belaagd door de politie…….
In tegenstelling tot de twee voorlaatste protesten, werd er afgelopen zaterdag wel enige aandacht geschonken aan de protesten in de reguliere (massa-) media van Nederland, Duitsland, België en Groot-Brittannië, echter de berichtgeving was vooral gericht tegen de Gele Hesjes, ten eerste zouden het er veel minder zijn dan bij eerdere protesten, iets dat men al vaker meldde, ook in de Nederlandse Media……
Ten tweede wordt er in diezelfde media over de Gele Hesjes gesproken als zouden het verwende burgers zijn, die weigeren meer te betalen voor brandstof, terwijl de belastingen in Frankrijk tot de hoogste in de EU behoren, is de armoede in dat land groot…… Zoals velen in Nederland, kunnen ook in Frankrijk heel veel mensen, waaronder zoals in ons land werkenden, amper of niet rondkomen van hun inkomen….
Wat betreft het bovenstaande staatje: Grieken betalen meer belasting dan de al veel te hoog belaste Nederlanders, terwijl het volk daar in grote armoede woont: veel gezinnen wonen nu onder één dak daar men de kosten niet meer kan betalen voor een eigen huis en zelfs kankerpatiënten kunnen veelal de therapieën, zoals chemo niet betalen, alles te danken aan de EU en m.n. PvdA opperhufter Dijsselbloem……… Niet voor niets willen veel Europeanen af van de EU, een ijskoude, inhumane organisatie die het neoliberalisme dient als geen ander, oh nee gelul, dat is de VS en daarna de EU…..)
Terug naar Frankrijk, waar dit land onder Macron het beste beentje voorzet om de grote bedrijven en de welgestelden te ontzien, sterker nog om deze groepen te bevoordelen op de gewone Franse bevolking……. (alsof ze daar ook met Rutte 3 te maken hebben….)
De ellende is groot in Frankrijk en gelukkig gooit men daar in tegenstelling tot Nederland (waar de Gele Hesjes beweging een marginale groep is) wel de kont tegen de krib!
Hier een aantal (ook lange) video’s over de protesten van afgelopen zaterdag.
Op deze
plek heb ik al vaak over terreurorganisatie White Helmets geschreven,
maar niets was gruwelijker dan de zaken uit het hieronder opgenomen
artikel……
Zelfs in
de VN is men ervan overtuigd dat de White Helmets een
terreurorganisatie is (al zullen de VS, Saoedi-Arabië, andere
arabische staten en Israël dat ontkennen), in tegenstelling tot de
valse beelden van de White Helmets als hulpverleningsorganisatie, hier een relaas met beelden die
er bepaald niet om liegen, om het nog maar voorzichtig uit te
drukken…… Dan te bedenken dat Nederland ook deze
terreurorganisatie heeft gesteund (met ons belastinggeld…)…….
Lees het
volgende verhaal en geeft het door, het masker van de White Helmets
dient volledig vernietigd te worden, waarna deze organisatie in de hele westerse wereld eindelijk als de terreurorganisatie kan worden gezien, die het in werkelijkheid is!

Who Are the White Helmets? Fake News and Staged Rescues
Canada’s
beloved “humanitarian heroes”, the White Helmets.
Maxim
Grigoriev of
the “Foundation for the Study of Democracy”, discussed this and
other findings gleaned from interviews with numerous individuals,
including former terrorists, in Syria, during a video-taped
presentation entitled, “Roundtable Discussion on the Middle East
Issues: Activities of the White Helmets Organization in Syria”
under UN auspices.
One
interview subject, Omar
Al-Mustafa —
who wanted to be a White Helmet but wasn’t accepted because he
wasn’t al Nusra Front (al Qaeda) — recounted the following:
“People
evacuated by the White Helmets often did not come back alive.
For example, a person receives a minor injury, is rescued, evacuated,
and then brought back with their stomach cut open and with their
internal organs missing. I heard that a little girl was
injured. They took her to Turkey and brought back in three
days, dead and with no internal organs. People were scared.
When someone got injured, they were afraid to call the White Helmets
and ask for help.”
Grigoriev’s
findings, presented at the U.N, are consistent with previous on-the
ground investigations, including those of pioneering investigative
journalist Vanessa
Beeley (also
featured in the Roundtable presentation), and Prof.
Tim Anderson.
In
October, 2017, locals told Prof.
Tim Andersonthat
the building pictured below had been used for organ trafficking.
Additionally,
the Director-General of Syria’s Coroner’s Office, Houssein
Noufel, reported in November, 2016, that body organs from 15,000
Syrians were sold over the course of six years. [1]
A
litany of crimes committed by the White Helmets is documented in the
video below.
Equally
disturbing, however, is that Western agencies, including Amnesty
International, Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), and Western
media, use the White Helmets as sources for their stories.
A
U.K document entitled, “Syria Resilience CSSF Programme Study”
states, in reference to the White Helmets, which it names Syrian
Civil Defence (SCD), amply documented, the “news” that the White
Helmets report to Amnesty, SOHR, and myriad government sources,
consists of fake news and staged rescues. Consider these screen grabs
from the above video on UNWeb TV:
“In
addition to service delivery, SCD provide an invaluable reporting and
advocacy role, being nominated again this year for the Nobel Peace
Prize. Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have stated that
SCD are their most routinely reliable source for reporting.
Throughout the bombardment by Russia since September 2015, SCD has
provided essential corroboration that strikes were not targeting
Da’esh but moderate opposition entities. This has provided
confidence to statements made by UK and other international leaders
made in condemnation of Russian actions.”
Amply
documented, the “news” that the White Helmets report to Amnesty,
SOHR, and myriad government sources, consists of fake news and staged
rescues. Consider these screen grabs from the above video on UN Web
TV:
Colonial
media uses terrorist-embedded sources for their criminal
disinformation campaigns, and these campaigns amount to (criminal)
war propaganda.
Testimonies
such as those above provide evidence-based counter-narratives which
Western governments and their agencies have disappeared for years.

Durden publiceerde afgelopen zaterdag op Zero Hedge foto’s en video’s over de eerder die dag
plaatsgevonden demonstraties in Parijs en andere Franse steden.
Durden
weet het waarschijnlijk niet (hoewel?) maar als ambtenaren of de
politie van welk EU land dan ook, met cijfers komt betreffende een
protest , kan je daar meestal de helft van dat aantal bij optellen.
Volgens zeggen zouden er 125.000 deelnemers aan de Gele Hesjes demo’s
hebben meegedaan. In totaal zouden er afgelopen zaterdag 1.385 demonstranten zijn
gearresteerd tijdens de protesten……
Vandaag werd overigens bekend gemaakt dat Macron weer een aantal maatregelen terug heeft gedraaid en dat het minimumloon met € 100,– wordt verhoogd, benieuwd of dit genoeg is tegen de protesten……..
Met
een aantal foto’s en video’s laat Durden de protesten en het geweld
van de politie aan je voorbijgaan (een aantal video’s kan ik niet overnemen, zie daarvoor het origineel):
125,000
French Take To Streets As Trump Trolls Macron; Protester’s Hand Blown
Off In Graphic Video
Update3: As
the evening wore on, French officials said that 125,000 protesters
took to the streets during “Act IV” of the Yellow Vest
anti-government demonstrations, with 10,000
protesting in Paris.
In total, 1,385 people were arrested amid an incredibly heavy police
presence.
17
members of French law enforcement and over 100 protesters were
injured, including a man whose hand was blown off after reportedly
picking up a grenade fired by police.
Kan de video bij het hieronder getoonde Twitterbericht niet weergeven, hier een ‘iets onduidelijker video’ van YouTube, met de man die zijn hand verloor, let op verontrustende beelden:
Meanwhile,
President Trump has taken to trolling French President
Emmanuel Macron.
“The
Paris Agreement isn’t working out so well for Paris. Protests and
riots all over France. People do not want to pay large sums of money,
much to third world countries (that are questionably run), in order
to maybe protect the environment. Chanting ‘We Want Trump!’ Love
France,” Trump tweeted early Saturday morning.

The
demonstrations began last month over a proposed fuel tax hike
earmarked to
pay for climate change measures,
before the protests morphed into a general anti-government
resistance.
Update2: The
French Interior Ministry has announced 1,385
arrests across the country,
and that despite tensions remaining in some areas, the situation is
“under control.” Prime minister Édouard
Philippe, however, noted that rioters are still at work in some
French cities – adding that a dialogue with the Yellow Jackets has
begun, and “must go on.”
Paris
police resorted to extreme crowd-control measures on as tens
of thousands of “Yellow Vest” protesters descended on the
French capital for a fourth weekend of chaos which began over fuel
taxes and quickly morphed into general outrage at the Macron
government.

gendarmes to try and contain. 8,000 police forces were active in
Paris alone.
“These
past three weeks have produced a monster that its creators no longer
control,” Canaster said Friday, saying that the administration
would have “zero tolerance” to those trying sow chaos.
Philippe
on Friday evening met a delegation of self-described “moderate”
yellow vests who urged people not to join the protests.
A
spokesman from the movement, Christophe Chalencon, said Philippe had
“listened to us and promised to take our demands to the
president”.
“Now
we await Mr Macron.
I hope he will speak to the people of France as a father, with love
and
respect and that he will take strong decisions,” he said. –AFP
Paris has
gone into lockdownas
authorities and businesses prepare for the mayhem – as shops, banks,
restaurants and other businesses boarded up to prevent anticipated
looting and property destruction. As we reported
on thursday,
the Eiffel Tower will be among the shuttered tourist attractions
around the city.
Right
after 10:00 a.m. local time the rally turned violent and police fired
tear gas canisters into the crowd and deployed their fleet
of VBRG
armored vehiclesnext
to the Arc de Triomphe, which was the site to last week’s most
intense violence.
The US embassy issued a warning to Americans currently in Paris to “keep a low provile and avoid crowds,” while Portugal, Belgium and the Czech Republic suggested the postponement of any planned visits
In het BBC Scotland nieuws van 11.00 u. het bericht dat er gezeur is ontstaan in de VS over het te vroeg neerzetten ‘door Trump van de traditionele kerstboom’ voor of in het Witte Huis (dat is me niet duidelijk en te onbenullig om na te zoeken)……. De VS steunt de genocide in Jemen militair en politiek, maar er ontstaat gekibbel over het te vroeg neerzetten van de Witte Huis kerstboom……
Het is overigens duidelijk dat Trump e.e.a. doet voor zijn arme achterban…… Een werkloze Trump stemmer: “Je kan zeggen wat je wilt over Trump en hij doet inderdaad veel voor de welgestelden en grote bedrijven, maar je kan zien dat hij werkelijk met ons is begaan, want hij doet precies wat wij doen met onze plastic kerstboom: deze al rond 20 november neerzetten!”
ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!
Om nog eens aan te geven dat het hiervoor aangehaalde fantasie relaas van een werkloze VS burger* niet geheel uit de lucht is gegrepen, was Trump zelf bij de aflevering van deze kerstboom, iets dat in de geschiedenis niet eerder is gebeurd…….
Nu nog een extra kerstwens: je zou bijna hopen dat het Witte Huis wordt gebombardeerd met het door de VS industrie gefabriceerde verboden chemische wapen witte fosfor en dat op kerstavond, zodat we kunnen spreken van een Witte Kerst over het Witte Huis! (witte fosfor waarmee de Trump administratie dorpen en steden in Irak bombardeerde en waarmee de VS nog steeds dorpen en steden in Syrië bombardeert……)
* De werkloosheid in de VS zou sterk zijn teruggelopen, echter zoals ook in Nederland, worden hele grote groepen werklozen niet eens meegeteld in het totale aantal werklozen…….. Daarnaast zijn er mensen met 2 banen die van hun inkomen niet rond kunnen komen >> de VS ‘het land van de ongekende mogelijkheden…..’ (overigens heb je ook in ons land mensen die tegen de armoedegrens moeten leven, terwijl ze meer dan één baan hebben….. Ach ja, de VS het grote voorbeeld voor het overgrote deel van de Nederlandse politici….)
Vanaf
midden september heeft de VS tot 4 maal toe het in bewoond gebied
verboden chemische wapen witte fosfor ingezet ‘tegen IS’, dit in het
dorp Hajin in de provincie Deir ez-Zor in Syrië……
Toevallig
ligt het dorp Hajin vlakbij een olieraffinaderij, daarover gesproken
de gebieden in Syrië waar de meeste olie te vinden is, zijn in handen
van de grootste terreurentiteit op aarde… de VS! Een zaak, waar je
als het gebruik van witte fosfor door de VS, de reguliere westerse
media niet over hoort……
Eerder
gebruikte de VS witte fosfor bij bombardementen op het Iraakse
West-Mosul en het Syrische Raqqa, je weet wel toen o.a. de VN smeekte
bij de VS te stoppen met bombarderen, daar er ongelofelijk veel
burgerslachtoffers vielen bij die bombardementen, helaas was dat tevergeefs……
Tegelijkertijd durft men in die westerse media en politiek wel een grote bek op te zetten over de Russen en het
reguliere Syrische leger, die telkens wel stoppen met bombarderen als
er veel burgerslachtoffers dreigen te vallen, zoals 2 maanden voor de
inname van Oost-Aleppo, een zaak die ‘ook al’ nooit werd gemeld door
de reguliere westerse (massa-) media…………
Hetzelfde geldt voor de ‘door het reguliere Syrische leger gepleegde gifgasaanvallen’, ondanks dat al lang duidelijk is dat die aanvallen werden uitgevoerd door de zogenaamde gematigde rebellen (gesteund met ons belastinggeld), die NB met medeweten (en zonder protest) van het westen beschikken over gifgassen als chlorine en sarin, blijft men Syrië beschuldigen……..
Deze terreurgroepen, want dat zijn het, pleegden deze vreselijke aanslagen met de opzet deze in de schoenen van het Syrische bewind te schuiven, een false flag operatie noemt men dat……. Het is ronduit een schande dat dit gelukt is, ‘met dank’ aan de reguliere westerse media, westerse geheime diensten, het Syrisch Observatorium voor Mensenrechten (SOHR >> een propaganda orgaan van de ‘gematigde rebellen…) en een groot deel van de westerse politici……
The
International Committee of the Red Cross has stated that “employing
asphyxiating, poisonous or other gases, and all analogous liquids,
materials or devices is listed in the Statute of the International
Criminal Court as a war crime.”
DEIR
EZ ZOR, SYRIA – The
U.S.-led coalition in Syria has been accused of using white
phosphorus incendiary munitions for the fourth time since
mid-September. White phosphorus is banned
internationally when
used in areas with civilian populations.
Syrian
state news agencySANA reported on
a bombing conducted by the U.S.-led coalition that had targeted the
small city of Hajin in Syria’s Eastern Deir Ez-Zor province over
the weekend. The bombing, allegedly intended to target Daesh (ISIS)
terrorists who control the city, killed fifteen civilians – among
them women and children – and injured scores more. Civil sources
cited by SANA reported
that white phosphorus bombs had been used, which – in addition to
resulting in several civilian deaths and injuries — caused massive
property damage due to the fires resulting from the use of the banned
substance.
White
phosphorus is well-known for igniting
spontaneously in
the presence of oxygen and its use frequently results in
post-explosion fires that can burn for hours, as well as painful
chemical burns for those who come in contact with the substance,
which can stick to hair and clothing. The International Committee of
the Red Cross has
stated that
“employing asphyxiating, poisonous or other gases, and all
analogous liquids, materials or devices is listed in the Statute of
the International Criminal Court as a war crime.”
As
a result of the extreme damage it can cause, Protocol III of the 1980
Convention on Conventional Weapons prohibits the use of the chemical
weapon in areas populated by civilians. However, the United States
is not
a signatory of
Protocol III.
The
recent alleged bombing of a Syrian town with white phosphorus by
munitions is the fourth time the U.S.-led coalition has been accused
of using the banned substance in the village of Hajin just since
September. On Oct. 29, and a few weeks prior on Oct. 13, local
sources reported
the use of white phosphorus by coalition jets in Hajin. A month
prior, on Sept. 10, Russia’s military mission in Syria also
accused the
U.S. coalition of using white phosphorus munitions in the city of
Hajin.
The
prior bombings were the result of an
effort of
by the United States’ military’s proxy in Syria, the Syrian
Democratic Forces (SDF), to take the city of Hajin from Daesh.
However, the SDF suspended its
campaign to take Hajin at the end of October, three days before this
most recent bombing. Notably, Hajin is the site of an
important Syrian oil refinery,
making it an area of interest to the U.S.-led coalition, which is
currently occupying 30% of Syria as well as the areas containing
the vast
majority of
the country’s oil resources.

Seeking
Justification for War Crimes
Unfortunately,
the U.S.-led coalition has been using white phosphorus in combat
operations long before September. In fact, the use of white
phosphorus had become so commonplace that a New Zealand general that
worked with the coalition openly
admitted to
its use in Iraq’s Mosul in an interview with NPR.
The coalition also used the banned munitions in its efforts to take
the Syrian city of Raqqa from Daesh in June of last year.
Those
two offenses, which took place in areas that were densely populated
by civilians, prompted
groups like
Human Rights Watch (HRW) to slam the U.S.-led coalition for putting
civilians in Raqqa and Mosul at unnecessary risk.
“No
matter how white phosphorus is used, it poses a high risk of horrific
and long-lasting harm in crowded cities like [Syria’s] Raqqa and
[Iraq’s] Mosul and any other areas with concentrations of
civilians,” Steve Goose, the arms director at the HRW, had stated
last June.
At
the time, a spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition claimed that
the U.S. military only used white phosphorus in “accordance with
the law of armed conflict” and that the munitions were only “used
for screening, obscuring, and marking in a way that fully considers
the possible incidental effects on civilians and civilian
structures.”
Thousands
of civilians died
in coalition efforts to retake Raqqa, which also destroyed an
estimated 90% of the buildings in the city. Over a year after the
operation concluded, many of the dead are still
buried under
the rubble. This past June, Amnesty International accused the
U.S. coalition of “war crimes” in its Raqqa offensive.
