Niet alleen Assange staat terecht, maar ook echte journalistiek en degenen die de klok luiden over oorlogsmisdaden, corruptie en andere smerige zaken

Noam Chomsky en Alica
Walker hebben een artikel geschreven over het proces tegen Julian
Assange, eerder gepubliceerd op
Independent
(vanwege mijn adblocker mag ik geen gebruik maken van dit
platform……) en door mij overgenomen van
Information
Clearing House
.

In de kop stellen Chomski
en Walker dat de VS regering, ofwel de Trump administratie Julian
Assanges persoonlijkheid terecht stelt, echter als je het stuk leest
zie je dat men weliswaar Assange probeert te besmeuren, maar dat in
feite de echte journalistiek terecht staat, dit naast de
klokkenluiders die hun ergernissen melden aan onderzoeksjournalisten
als Assange….

Iemand te besmeuren is in
dit geval voor de VS overheid het middel om een journalist als
Assange of klokkenluiders als Chelsea Manning en Edward Snowden
totaal ongeloofwaardig te maken voor het grote publiek…… Tevens is dit uiteraard het middel om de zaak waarvoor mensen als Assange en
Manning terecht staan/stonden ofwel te bagatelliseren dan wel te stellen dat
deze 2 de staatsveiligheid in gevaar hebben gebracht, dat laatste is een leugen van
enorme proporties…..

Opinion: How the US government put Julian Assange's personality on trial

Meer dan schunnig dat de reguliere
westerse media zich massaal achter de leugens van de opvolgende VS
administraties stelden, die van Bill Clinton, George W. Bush,
‘vredesduif’ Obama en nu die van de psychopathische fascist
Trump…….Deze media deden dat zonder te onderzoeken of de leugens
kloppen, die veelal van de CIA en de NSA kwamen, organisaties die
bekend staan om hun leugens en verdraaiingen van feiten, zoals die
over Irak, Afghanistan, Libië en Syrië…… Terwijl die media van
de eerste 3 op zeker weten dat het leugens waren, door hen herhaalt
en daarna nooit gerectificeerd, sterker nog men blijft de leugens
gewoon herhalen, hoewel sinds de illegale invallen van de VS in
Afghanistan, Irak, Libië en Syrië intussen meer dan 2,5 miljoen
mensen zijn vermoord……… 

Nog veel erger is het dat diezelfde media hun collega, de meer dan eens gelauwerde onderzoeksjournalist* Assange, zo hebben laten vallen, ja zelfs voor verrader hebben uitgemaakt (ook door de reguliere Nederlandse media)……. Al moet ik zeggen dat ze daar wel reden toe hadden, immers als men Assange had verdedigd, had men toe moeten geven dat men volkomen fout zat met de steun voor de illegale oorlogen die de VS met hulp van NAVO-lidstaten als Nederland tegen voornoemde landen begon, terwijl alle bewijzen daarvoor op tafel lagen en liggen…….**

Lees het korte artikel van
Chomski en Walker en zegt het voort: Julian Assange moet onmiddellijk
worden vrijgelaten en de westerse media moeten eindelijk doen wat ze
jaren geleden al hadden moeten doen: Assange steunen en daarmee de
echte journalistiek verdedige
n!! Als die media dit niet doen is het hek van de dam en zal echte journalistiek (ook het kleine beetje dat nog in die reguliere media is te vinden) de nek worden omgedraaid ‘voor het groter goed: een nieuwe orde ofwel een politiestaat als die door George Orwell beschreven in het boek 1984’ (onder het artikel kan je klikken

How
the US government put Julian Assange’s personality on trial

Opinion: How the US government put Julian Assange’s personality on trial

September 11, 2020
Information
Clearing House

–  On Monday Julian
Assange
was driven to the Old Bailey to continue his fight
against extradition
to the United States
, where the Trump administration has launched
the most dangerous attack on press freedom in at least a generation
by indicting him for publishing US government documents. Amid
coverage of the proceedings, Assange’s critics have inevitably
commented on his appearance, rumours of his behaviour while isolated
in the Ecuadorian embassy, and other salacious details.  

These predictable
distractions are emblematic of the sorry state of our political and
cultural discourse. If Assange is extradited to face charges for
practising journalism and exposing government misconduct, the
consequences for press freedom and the public’s right to know will
be catastrophic. Still, rather than seriously addressing the
important principles at stake in Assange’s unprecedented indictment
and the 175 years in prison he faces, many would rather focus on
inconsequential personality profiles.  

Assange is not on
trial for skateboarding in the Ecuadorian embassy, for tweeting, for
calling Hillary Clinton a war hawk, or for having an unkempt beard as
he was dragged into detention by British police. Assange faces
extradition to the United
States
because he published incontrovertible proof of war crimes
and abuses in Iraq and Afghanistan, embarrassing the most powerful
nation on Earth. Assange published hard evidence of “the ways in
which the first world exploits the third”, according to
whistleblower Chelsea Manning, the source of that evidence. Assange
is on trial for his journalism, for his principles, not his
personality.

You’ve probably
heard the refrain from well-meaning pundits: “You don’t have to
like him, but you should oppose threats to silence him.” But that
refrain misses the point by reinforcing the manipulative tropes
deployed against Assange.  

When setting a gravely
dangerous precedent, governments don’t typically persecute the most
beloved individuals in the world. They target those who can be
portrayed as subversive, unpatriotic – or simply weird. Then they
actively distort public debate by emphasizing those traits.  

These techniques are
not new. After Daniel Ellsberg leaked the Pentagon Papers to
journalists to expose the US government’s lies about Vietnam, the
Nixon administration’s “White House Plumbers” broke into
Ellsberg’s psychiatrist’s office in search of material that could
be used to discredit him. NSA whistleblower Edward
Snowden
was falsely portrayed as collaborating with the Chinese,
then the Russians. Obsession with military intelligence analyst
Manning’s mental health and gender identity was ubiquitous. By
demonizing the messenger, governments seek to poison the message.  

Julian Assange in the
Ecuadorian embassy – a timeline

The prosecution will
be all too happy when coverage of Assange’s extradition hearing
devolves into irrelevant tangents and smears. It matters little that
Assange’s beard was the result of his shaving kit having been
confiscated, or that reports of Paul Manafort visiting him in the
embassy were proven to be fabricated. By the time these petty claims
are refuted, the damage will be done. At best, public debate over the
real issues will be derailed; at worst, public opinion will be
manipulated in favour of the establishment.  

By drawing attention
away from the principles of the case, the obsession with personality
pushes out the significance of WikiLeaks’ revelations and the
extent to which governments have concealed misconduct from their own
citizens. It pushes out how Assange’s 2010 publications exposed
15,000 previously uncounted civilian casualties in Iraq, casualties
that the US Army would have buried. It pushes out the fact that the
United States is attempting to accomplish what repressive regimes can
only dream of: deciding what journalists around the globe can and
cannot write. It pushes out the fact that all whistleblowers and
journalism itself, not just Assange, is on trial here.

** Nogmaals:
terwijl alle bewijzen voorhanden zijn dat de VS de westerse wereld heeft
voorgelogen om deze oorlogen te rechtvaardigen, sterker nog een aantal
landen waaronder Nederland hebben meegeholpen met de fabricage van deze
leugens voor één of meer van deze oorlogen, wat betreft Nederland betrof
dit de illegale oorlog tegen Irak……)

9/11 werd mede georganiseerd door Israël

De aanslagen van 9/11 (2001) werden niet door Al Qaida georganiseerd, iedereen die de officiële lezing nog steeds gelooft kan hiervan overtuigd worden mits deze enige tijd steekt in het lezen van rapporten en onderzoeken door
onafhankelijke organisaties, of door verklaringen van deskundigen, politeagenten en brandweermensen >> deze
aanslagen werden minstens gepleegd met medeweten en organisatie van
de federale overheid van de VS…….

Lauren
Guyénot schreef een artikel voor The Unz Review, dat door mij werd
overgenomen van Information Clearing House (ICH). Hierin betoogt hij dat
Israël de grote dader is achter de 9/11 aanslagen in 2001, uiteraard
met de toevoeging dat e.e.a niet mogelijk was zonder de hulp van de
VS overheid…..

Eén van de grootste bewijzen dat hier enorm is gelogen is wel het feit dat de vliegtuigen onmogelijk het instorten van de WTC torens konden hebben veroorzaakt…… Over die vliegtuigen gesproken: het was destijds onmogelijk om boven de stad te vliegen zonder dat de luchtmacht in zou grijpen en oh toevel die dag waren er geen straaljagers paraat om in te grijpen, daarnaast stellen ervaren piloten dat het bijzxonder moeilijk is om met een verkeersvliegtuig zo precies de toren in te vliegen (de piloten zoude de daders zijn geweest die trainig hadden gekregen in kleine vliegtuigen, maar die niet eens wisten hoe te moeten landen…)

Moet
wel opmerken dat Gyénot vooral Israël ziet als het land dat het
meest heeft geprofiteerd van deze aanslag, echter daar ben ik het
niet mee eens, immers de werkelijke grote profiteur van deze
aanslagen is de VS zelf en daarmee bedoel ik ook het Pentagon en de
rest van het militair-industrieel complex. De oorlog tegen terreur
deed de kassa’s van de wapenindustrie hard rinkelen, terwijl
het instorten van de Sovjet-Unie er op z’n zachts gezegd voor zorgde dat de winsten
van die industrie in de tien voorgaande jaren onder druk stonden…. Als gevolg van 9/11 kreeg het Pentagon er fiks wat geld bij, terwijl de geheime diensten (meer dan 25 in de VS!!) extra geld en bevoegdheden kregen…….

Bovendien was oorlog voeren, het ultieme
gevolg van die aanslagen (zoals de illegale oorlogen tegen Afghanistan
en Irak), ook een garantie voor extra geld in de kluizen van de
oliemaatschappijen (immers de koersen van oliemaatscfhappijen gaan dan omhoog), die daarnaast zelfs toestemming kregen voor het
winnen van olie op niet eerder geziene plekken (en dan bedoel ik niet alleen in Irak), gevolgd door de
peperdure en milieu-verrampenerende schaliegas, en -oliewinning)…. 

George W. Bush, destijds president,
stond in de peilingen over zijn populariteit lager dan
in vele decennia was gezien bij een zittende president, 9/11, de oorlog tegen terreur en de illegale oorlog tegen Afghanistan zorgden ervoor dat zijn populariteit als een speer de lucht inging……

Voorts verdween op 11 september 2001 een fiks deel van de VS
overheidsschuld, daar bepaalde servers in het WTC werden
vernietigd….. Dit nog naast het verdwijnen van een flinke voorraad goud…… Me dunkt alles bij elkaar fikse belangen voor de VS
zelf……

Al is het wel zo dat naast andere belangrijke figuren in Israël, ook Netanyahu blij was met de aanslag, daar de VS nu wist wat het betekende terreur op eigen grondgebioed te hebben (al had men daar al veel eerder meerdere terreuraanslagen), terwijl Israël al decennia te maken had met terreuraanslagen (vooral zelf uitgevoerd tegen het verdrukte Palestijnse volk…)…. Netanyahu stelde dan ook dat dit de banden tussen de twee landen verder zou versterken……. Het is wel zeker dat Israël, in de vorm van de Mossad, de geheime dienst van dat land, heeft meegeholpen aan de aanslagen…… Moet je nagaan: na de aanslagen beschuldigde men de Palestijnen er onterecht van feest te hebben gevierd n.a.v. die aanslagen….. (in New York werden 5 Joodse Israëliërs betrapt die feestvierden terwijl ze aan de overkant van een rivier de rokende puinhopen bekeken van de Twin Towers….)

Bij de aanslagen op het
WTC zouden 3.000 mensen zijn omgekomen, echter in de ‘war on terror’ die
de Bush administratie daarna ontketende zijn minstens 2 miljoen mensen
omgekomen en hebben de grote wapenfabrikanten en die van vliegend-,
varend- en rollend oorlogstuig zich helemaal scheel verdiend…… Dit
nog naast de zoals gezegd enorme budgetverhogingen voor leger en geheime diensten,
waar de laatsten ook nog eens veel meer bevoegdheden kregen, o.a.
middels de Patriot Act, die nu weer in het nieuws is daar een federale
rechter heeft bepaald dat het bespioneren van VS burgers illegaal is, dit bespioneren werd geopenbaard
door Edward Snowden in 2013…..*

Kritiek en weerlegging van de leugens over de aanslagen van 9/11 worden gezien als een complottheorieën, echter het echte complot is juist het neerhalen van de torens** middels deze ‘aanslagen’ en de aanslag op het Pentagon waarvan het vliegtuig niet werd gevonden…. Een ander vliegtuig dat gekaapt was, zou elders in een natuurgebied zijn neergestort, maar ook daarvan werd geen spoor gevonden…….
 

Lees het uitgebreide artikel van Guyénot, het is meer dan de moeite
waard en geeft ten overvloede nog eens aan dat 9/11 een false flag
operatie was ten dienste van wat mij betreft vooral de VS!! (vergeet
niet dat Osama bin Laden bij herhaling stelde dat Al Qaida niet
betrokken was bij deze aanslagen, terwijl terreurgroepen als Al Qaida
maar al te graag de verantwoording opeisen van geslaagde aanslagen,
zelfs als ze er niets mee te maken hebben….. Niet voor niets werd
Osama bin Laden onmiddellijk vermoord door speciale VS (terreur) commando’s toen men hem aantrof in Pakistan, het was uiteraard
niet de bedoeling dat bin Laden uit de school zou klappen tijdens een proces….

–  Thanks to courageous investigators, many anomalies in the
official explanation of the events of 9/11 were posted on the
Internet in the following months, providing evidence that this was a
false flag operation, and that Osama bin Laden was innocent, as he
repeatedly declared in the Afghan and Pakistani press and on Al
Jazeera.[1] The proofs of this appalling fraud have been accumulating
ever since, and are now accessible to anyone willing to spend a few
hours of research on the Web. (Although, while preparing this
article, I noticed that Google is now making access to that research
more difficult than it was five years ago, artificially prioritizing
anti-conspiracy sites.)

For
example, members of Architects
and Engineers for 9/11 Truth
have demonstrated that it was
impossible for plane crashes and jet fuel fires to trigger the
collapse of the Twin Towers. Even Donald
Trump understood this
. In fact, speaking of “collapse” is
perhaps misleading: the towers literally exploded, pulverizing
concrete and projecting pieces of steel beams weighing several
hundred tons hundreds of meters laterally at high speeds. The
pyroclastic
dust
that immediately flooded through the streets, not unlike the
dust from a volcano, indicates a high temperature mixture of hot
gasses and relatively dense solid particles, an impossible phenomenon
in a simple collapse. It is also impossible that WTC7,
another skyscraper (47 stories), which had not been hit by a plane,
collapsed into its own footprint at near free-fall speed, unless by
“controlled demolition.”

Testimonies
of firefighters
recorded shortly after the events describe
sequences of explosions just before the “collapse”, well below
the plane impact. The presence of molten metal in the wreckage up to
three weeks after the attack is inexplicable except by the presence
of incompletely burned explosives. Firefighter Philip Ruvolo
testified before Étienne Sauret’s camera for his film
Collateral
Damages

(2011): “You’d get down below and you’d see molten steel—molten
steel running down the channelways, like you were in a foundry—like
lava.”

Aviation
professionals
have also reported impossibilities in the behavior
of the planes. The charted speeds of the two aircraft hitting the
Twin Towers, 443 mph and 542 mph, exclude these aircraft being Boeing
767s, because these speeds are virtually impossible near ground
level. In the unlikely event such speeds could be attained without
the aircraft falling apart, flying them accurately into the towers
was mission impossible, especially by the amateur pilots blamed for
the hijacking. Hosni
Mubarak, a former pilot, said he could never do it
. (He is not
the only head of state to have voiced his doubts: Chavez
and Ahmadinejad
are among them.) Recall that neither of the black boxes of the
jetliners was ever found, an incomprehensible situation.

And
of course, there are the obvious anomalies of Shanksville and
Pentagon crash sites: no plane or credible plane debris can be seen
on any of the numerous photos easily available.

Inside
Job or Mossad Job?

Among
the growing number of Americans who disbelieve the official version
of the 9/11 attacks, two basic theories are in competition: I called
them “inside job” and “Mossad job”. 

The first one is the
dominant thesis within the so-called 9/11 Truth movement, and blames
the American government, or a faction within the American Deep State.
The second one claims that the masterminds were members of a powerful
Israeli network deeply infiltrated in all spheres of power within the
US, including media, government, military and secret services.

This
“Mossad job” thesis has been gaining ground since Alan Sabrosky,
a professor at the U.S. Army War College and the U.S. Military
Academy, published in July 2012 an
article entitled “Demystifying 9/11: Israel and the Tactics of
Mistake”
, where he voiced his 

conviction that September 11th
was “a classic Mossad-orchestrated operation.”

We
can notice from the outset that incriminating Israelis or Arabs are
both “outside job” theories (in fact, they are mirror images of
each other, which is understandable in light of what Gilad Atzmon
explains about Jewish “projected guilt”).[2] Before even looking
at the evidence, “outside job” sounds more credible that “inside
job”. There is something monstrous in the idea that a government
can deceive and terrorize its own citizens by killing thousands of
them, just for starting a series of wars that are not even in the
nation’s interest. By comparison, a foreign power attacking the
U.S. under the false flag of a third power almost seems like fair
play. Indeed suspicion of Israel’s role should be natural to anyone
aware of the reputation of the Mossad as: “Wildcard. Ruthless and
cunning. Has capability to target U.S. forces and make it look like a
Palestinian/Arab act,” in the words of a report of the U.S. Army
School for Advanced Military Studies quoted
by the
Washington
Times
,
September 10
th,
2001
— the day before the attacks.

This
is an important point, because it raises the question of how and why
the 9/11 Truth movement has been led to endorse massively the
outrageous “inside job” thesis without even considering the more
likely thesis of an attack by a foreign power acting under an Islamic
false flag—and what foreign power but Israel would do that?

Of
course, the two dissenting theses do not necessarily exclude each
other; at least, no one incriminating Israel denies that corrupted
elements from the American administration or deep state were
involved. The “passionate
attachment”
between Israel and the U.S. has been going on for
decades, and 9/11 is one of its monstruous offsprings.

I
can think of no better symbol of that reality than the marriage of
Ted and Barbara
Olson
. Ted Oslon, after having defended Bush in the disputed 2000
election, had been rewarded with the post of Solicitor General (he
also defended Dick Cheney when he refused to submit to Congress
Enron-related documents). Barbara was a famous CNN reporter, but
before that, she was born Barbara Kay Bracher of Jewish parents,
educated at Yeshiva University School of Law, and hired by the legal
firm WilmerHale, of which Jamie Gorelick, a future member of the 9/11
Commission, was also a member, and whose clients include powerful
Israeli firms like Amdocs, a digital communication company charged
with spying for
Israel in the United States
. On September 11, 2001, Barbara Olson
alledgedly was on flight AA77, from which she made two telephone
calls to her husband. Her calls were reported on CNN in the
afternoon, and contributed to crystallize some details of the
official story, such as the “box cutters” used as only weapons by
the hijackers. Repeatedly invited on television shows after 9/11, Ted
Olson frequently contradicted himself when questioned about the calls
from his wife. In a 2006 report, the FBI identified only one call
from Barbara Olson, and it was an unconnected call lasting 0 seconds.
Like all other reported phone calls from desperate passengers
(including the famous “Hi, Mom. This is Mark Bingham”), Barbara’s
call was simply impossible, because the technology required to make
high-altitude phone calls was not developed until 2004.[3]

9/11
was made possible by an alliance between secret worshippers of Israel
and corrupted American elements. The question is: who, of the two,
were the masterminds of this incredibly daring and complex operation,
and for what “higher purpose”?

Another
question is: why do those who keep repeating as a mantra “9/11
was an inside job”
ignore totally the compelling evidence
pointing to Israel? In other words, to what extent do they constitute
a “controlled opposition” intended to cover up for Israel? Asking
this type of question does not mean suspecting anyone who defends an
erroneous or incomplete theory of being a hypocrite. Most people
defending one theory or the other do so sincerely, based on the
information to which they have access. I have myself been a believer
in the official theory for 7 years, and in the “inside job”
theory for 2 years, before progressively moving on to the present
argument from 2010. On the other hand, we can assume that those who
lead the public into error on a long term are not just mistaken but
lying. In any case, it is legitimate to investigate the background of
opinion makers, and when they are caught lying or distorting the
truth, we can speculate on their motivation. I will come back to this
issue at the end of the article.

The
dancing Israelis

Researchers
who believe Israel orchestrated 9/11 cite the behavior of a group of
individuals who have come to be known as the “dancing Israelis”
since their arrest, though their aim was to pass as “dancing
Arabs.” Dressed in ostensibly “Middle Eastern” attire, they
were seen by various witnesses standing on the roof of a van parked
in Jersey City, cheering and taking photos of each other with the WTC
in the background, at the very moment the first plane hit the North
Tower. The suspects then moved their van to another parking spot in
Jersey City, where other witnesses saw them deliver the same
ostentatious celebrations.

One
anonymous call to the police in Jersey City, reported the same day by
NBC News, mentioned “a white van, 2 or 3 guys in there. They
look like Palestinians and going around a building. […] I see the
guy by Newark Airport mixing some junk and he has those sheikh
uniforms. […] He’s dressed like an Arab.” The police soon
issued the following BOLO alert (be-on-the-look-out) for a “Vehicle
possibly related to New York terrorist attack. White, 2000 Chevrolet
van with New Jersey registration with ‘Urban Moving Systems’ sign
on back seen at Liberty State Park, Jersey City, NJ, at the time of
first impact of jetliner into World Trade Center. Three individuals
with van were seen celebrating after initial impact and subsequent
explosion.”

By
chance, the van was intercepted around 4 pm, with five young men
inside: Sivan and Paul Kurzberg, Yaron Shmuel, Oded Ellner, and Omer
Marmari. Before any question was asked, the driver, Sivan Kurzberg,
burst out: “We are Israelis. We are not your problem. Your problems
are our problems. The Palestinians are your problem”.The Kurzberg
brothers were formally identified as Mossad agents. All five
officially worked for a moving company (a classic cover for
espionage) named Urban Moving Systems, whose owner, Dominik Otto
Suter, fled the country for Tel Aviv on September 14.[4]

This
event was first reported the day after the attacks by journalist
Paulo
Lima in the New Jersey newspaper
The
Bergen Record
,
based on “sources close to the investigation” who were convinced
of the suspects’ foreknowledge of the morning’s attacks: “It
looked like they knew what was going to happen when they were at
Liberty State Park”.The 579-page FBI
report on the investigation
that followed (partially declassified
in 2005) reveals several important facts. First, once developed, the
photos taken by the suspects while watching the North Tower on fire
confirm their attitudes of celebration: “They smiled, they hugged
each other and they appeared to ‘high five’ one another”. To
explain their contentment, the suspects said they were simply happy
that, thanks to these terrorist attacks, “the United States will
take steps to stop terrorism in the world”. Yet at this point,
before the second tower was hit, most Americans believed the crash
was an accident. The five Israelis were found connected to another
company called Classic International Movers, which employed five
other Israelis arrested for their contacts with the nineteen presumed
suicide hijackers. In addition, one of the five suspects had called
“an individual in South America with authentic ties to Islamic
militants in the middle east”. Finally, the FBI report states that
the “The vehicle was also searched by a trained bomb-sniffing dog
which yielded a positive result for the presence of explosive
traces”.

After
all this incriminating evidence comes the most puzzling passage of
the report: its conclusion that “the FBI no longer has any
investigative interests in the detainees and they should proceed with
the appropriate immigration proceedings”. In fact, a letter
addressed to the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, dated
September 25, 2001, proves that, less than two weeks after the
events, the FBI federal headquarter had already decided to close the
investigation, asking that “The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization
Service should proceed with the appropriate immigration proceedings”.
The five “dancing Israelis”, also known as “the high fivers”
,
were detained 71 days in a Brooklyn prison, where they first refused,
then failed, lie detector tests. Finally, they were quietly returned
to Israel under the minimal charge of “visa violation.” Three of
them were then invited on an Israeli TV talk show in November 2001,
where one of them ingenuously declared: “Our
purpose was simply to document the event.”

The
Israeli spy network

The
five “dancing Israelis,” the only suspects arrested on the very
day of the 9/11 attacks, were just the tip of an iceberg. In
September 2001, the federal police were busy dismantling the largest
Israeli spy network ever uncovered on American soil. In the summer
preceding the attack, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) compiled a
report which would be revealed to the public by the
Washington
Post
on
November 23
rd,
2001, followed by a Carl
Cameron’s four-part documentary broadcast on Fox News
from
December 11
th,
2001. On March 14
th,
2002, an article in French newspaper
Le
Monde

signed by Sylvain Cypel also referred to the report, shortly before
the French magazine
Intelligence
Online

made it fully
accessible on the Internet
.[5] It said that 140 Israeli spies,
aged between 20 and 30, had been arrested since March 2001, while 60
more were arrested after September 11. 

Generally posing as art
students, they visited at least “36 sensitive sites of the
Department of Defense.” “A majority of those questioned have
stated they served in military intelligence, electronic signal
intercept, or explosive ordnance units. Some have been linked to
high-ranking officials in the Israeli military. One was the son of a
two-star general, one served as the bodyguard to the head of the
Israeli Army, one served in a Patriot mission unit.” Another, Peer
Segalovitz, officer in the 605 Battalion of the Golan Heights,
“acknowledged he could blow up buildings, bridges, cars, and
anything else that he needed to.”[6]

Of
special interest is the mention that “the Hollywood, Florida, area
seems to be a central point for these individuals.”[7] More than 30
out of the 140 fake Israeli students identified before 9/11 lived in
that city of 140,000 inhabitants. And this city also happens to be
the place where fifteen of the nineteen alleged 9/11 Islamist
hijackers had regrouped (nine in Hollywood, six in the vicinity),
including four of the five supposed to have hijacked Flight AA11.
What was the relationship between the Israeli spies and the Islamist
terrorists? We were told by mainstream
news
that the former were monitoring the latter, but failed to
report suspicious activities of these terrorists to American
authorities. From such a presentation, Israel comes out clean, since
a spy agency cannot be blamed for not sharing information with the
country it is spying in. At worst, the Israeli Intelligence can be
accused of “letting it happen”—a guarantee of impunity. In
reality, the Israeli agents were certainly not just monitoring the
future “hijackers,” but financing and manipulating them, before
disposing of them. We know that Israeli Hanan Serfaty, who rented two
flats near Mohamed Atta, had handled at least $100,000 in three
months. And we also learned from the
New
York Times

on February 19, 2009
, that Ali al-Jarrah, cousin of the alleged
hijacker of Flight UA93 Ziad al-Jarrah, had spent twenty-five years
spying for the Mossad as an undercover agent infiltrating the
Palestinian resistance and Hezbollah.

Israeli
agents apparently appreciate operating under the cover of artists.
Shortly before September 11, a group of fourteen Jewish “artists”
under the name of Gelatin
installed themselves on the ninety-first floor of the north tower of
the World Trade Center. There, as a work of “street art,” they
removed a window and extended a wooden balcony. To understand what
role this piece of scaffolding may have played, it must be remembered
that the explosion supposedly resulting from the impact of the Boeing
AA11 on the North Tower took place between the ninety-second and the
ninety-eighth floors. With the only film of the impact on the North
Tower being that of the Naudet brothers, who are under suspicion for
numerous reasons, many researchers are convinced that no aircraft hit
this tower, and that the explosion simulating the impact was provoked
by pre-planted explosives inside the tower.

Floors
ninety-three to one hundred of the North Tower were occupied by Marsh
& McLennan, whose CEO was Jeffrey Greenberg, son of wealthy
Zionist (and financier of George W. Bush) Maurice Greenberg, who also
happens to be the owner of Kroll Inc., the firm in charge of security
for the entire World Trade Center complex on 9/11. The Greenbergs
were also the insurers of the Twin Towers and, on July 24, 2001, they
took the precaution of having the contract reinsured by competitors.
In November 2000, the board of directors of Marsh & McLennan was
joined by (Lewis) Paul Bremer, the chairman of the National
Commission on Terrorism, who, on September 11, 2001, two hours only
after the pulverization of the North Tower, would appear
on NBC to name bin Laden as prime suspect
, perfectly calm as 400
of his employees are missing (295 will finally be declared dead). “It
is the day that will change our lives,” he said. “It is the day
when the war that the terrorists declared on the US [. . .] has been
brought home to the US.” In 2003, Bremer would be appointed
administrator of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq to level
the Iraqi state to the ground and oversee the theft of almost a
trillion dollars intended for its reconstruction.

The
super-sayanim

With
Goldberg and Bremer, we have reached the upper level of the
conspiracy, comprising a number of influential Jewish personalities,
working inside and outside the U.S. government — super-
sayanim,
so to speak. The most representative of those outside government is
Larry Silverstein, the real estate shark who, with his partner Frank
Lowy, leased the Twin Towers from New York City in the spring of
2001. The head of the New York Port Authority, who granted
Silverstein and Lowy the lease, was none other than Lewis Eisenberg,
another member of the United Jewish Appeal Federation and former
vice-president of AIPAC. It appeared that Silverstein had made a
disastrous deal, because the
Twin Towers had to be decontaminated for asbestos
. The
decontamination process had been indefinitely postponed since the
1980s because of its cost, estimated at nearly $1 billion in 1989. In
2001, the New York Port Authority had been all too happy to shift
responsibility to Silverstein.

Immediately
after acquiring the Twin Towers, Silverstein renegotiated the
insurance contracts to cover terrorist attacks, doubling the coverage
to $3.5 billion, and made sure he would retain the right to rebuild
after such an event. After the attacks, he took his insurers to court
in order to receive double compensation, claiming that the two planes
were two separate attacks. After a long legal battle, he
pocketed $4.5 billion
. Silverstein is a leading member of the
United Jewish Appeal Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York,
the biggest fundraiser for Israel (after the US government, which
pays about $3 billion per year in aid to Israel). Silverstein also
maintained “close ties with Netanyahu,” according to
Haaretz
(November
21, 2001)
: “The two have been on friendly terms since
Netanyahu’s stint as Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations.
For years they kept in close touch. Every Sunday afternoon, New York
time, Netanyahu would call Silverstein.” Besides being a powerful
man, Larry is a lucky man: as
he explained in this interview
, every morning of the week, he had
breakfast at the
Windows
on the World

on top of the North Tower, but on September 11th, he had an
appointment with his dermatologist.

Accomplices
to the 9/11 false flag attack with strong Israeli connections should
also be tracked at the other end of the trajectory of the planes
reported to have crashed into the Twin Towers. Flights AA11 and UA175
took off from Logan Airport in Boston, which subcontracted their
security to International Consultants on Targeted Security (ICTS),
a firm based in Israel and headed by Menachem Atzmon
, a treasurer
of the Likud. So did Newark Airport where flight UA93 reportedly took
off before crashing in Shanksville.

A
serious investigation would follow many other trails, such as the
Odigo instant messages received by employees at the WTC two hours
before the plane crashes, as reported by
Haaretz
on
September 27
th,
2001. The first plane hit the WTC at the precise time announced,
“almost
to the minute,”
admitted Alex Diamandis, vice-president of
Odigo, headquartered in Israel. Also disturbing is the behavior of
the American branch of
Zim
Israel Navigational,

a maritime shipping giant 48% owned by the Jewish state (occasionally
used as a cover for the Israeli secret services), which moved its
offices from the WTC, along with its 200 employees, September 4
th,
2001, one week before the attacks —“like an act of God, we
moved”
,
said
the CEO Shaul Cohen-Mintz when interviewed
by
USA
Today
,
November 17
th,
2001
.

But
of course, none of these trails were ever pursued. That is because
the most powerful conspirators were at the highest level of the
Justice Department. Michael Chertoff was head of the Criminal
Division of the Department of Justice in 2001, and responsible, among
many other things, for securing the release of the Israeli agents
arrested before and after 9/11, including the “dancing Israelis.”
In 2003, this son of a rabbi and of a Mossad pioneer would be
appointed Secretary of Homeland Security, in charge of
counter-terrorism on the American soil, which allowed him to control
dissenting citizens and restrain access to the evidence under the
pretext of Sensitive Security Information.

Another
chief of the cover-up was Philip Zelikow, the executive director of
the 9/11 presidential Commission established in November 2002.
Zelikow is a self-styled specialist in the art of making “public
myths” by “‘searing’ or ‘molding’ events [that] take on
‘transcendent’ importance and, therefore, retain their power even
as the experiencing generation passes from the scene” (Wikipedia).
In December 1998, he co-signed an article for
Foreign
Affairs

entitled “Catastrophic Terrorism,”
in which he speculated on
what would have happened if the 1993 WTC bombing (already attributed
to bin Laden) had been done with a nuclear bomb: “An act of
catastrophic terrorism that killed thousands or tens of thousands of
people and/or disrupted the necessities of life for hundreds of
thousands, or even millions, would be a watershed event in America’s
history. It could involve loss of life and property unprecedented for
peacetime and undermine Americans’ fundamental sense of security
within their own borders in a manner akin to the 1949 Soviet atomic
bomb test, or perhaps even worse. … Like Pearl Harbor, the
event would divide our past and future into a before and after. The
United States might respond with draconian measures scaling back
civil liberties, allowing wider surveillance of citizens, detention
of suspects and use of deadly force.” This is the man who
controlled the governmental investigation on the 9/11 terror attacks.
Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, who nominally led the commission,
revealed in their book
Without
Precedent: The Inside Story of the 9/11 Commission
(2006),
that the commission “was set up to fail” from the beginning.
Zelikow, they claim, had already written a synopsis and a conclusion
for the final report before the first meeting. He controlled all the
working groups, prevented them from communicating with each other,
and gave them as sole mission to prove the official story; Team 1A,
for example, was tasked to “tell the story of Al-Qaeda’s most
successful operation—the 9/11 attacks.”

A
tight control of mainstream media is perhaps the most delicate aspect
of the whole operation. I will not delve into that aspect, for we all
know what to expect from the MSM. For a groundbreaking argument on
the extent to which 9/11 was psy-op orchestrated by MSM, I recommend
Ace
Baker’s 2012 documentary
9/11
The Great American Psy-Opera
,
chapters
6, 7 and 8.

Machiavellian
meta-Zionists

If
we move up to the very highest level of the conspiracy, we find
ourselves in Tel Aviv. The preparation for 9/11 coincided with the
coming to power of Benjamin Netanyahu in 1996, followed by Ehud Barak
in July 1999, and Ariel Sharon in March 2001, who brought back
Netanyahu as minister of Foreign Affairs in 2002 (with Netanyahu
again becoming prime minister in 2009). It must be noted that both
Netanyahu and Ehud Barak were temporarily out of the Israeli
government in September 2001, just like Ben-Gurion at the time of
Kennedy’s assassination (read
my article on JFK
). A few months before 9/11, Barak, a former
head of Israeli military intelligence, was “recruited” as a
consultant to a Mossad front company, SCP Partner, specializing in
security and located less than seven miles from Urban Moving
Systems.[8] One hour after the explosion of the North Tower, Barak
was on BBC World
to point the finger at bin Laden (the first to
do so), and concluded: “It’s a time to launch an operational,
complete war against terror.”

As
for Netanyahu, we are not surprised to hear him boast, on CNN
in 2006
, of having predicted in 1995 that, “if the West doesn’t
wake up to the suicidal nature of militant Islam, the next thing you
will see is militant Islam bringing down the World Trade Center.”
Netanyahu is exemplary of the ever closer “special relationship”
between the US and Israel, which started with Truman and blossomed
under Johnson. Netanyahu had lived, studied, and worked in the United
States from 1960 to 1978, between his 11
th
and his 27
th
year—except during his military service—and again after the age
of 33, when he was appointed deputy ambassador to Washington and then
permanent delegate to the United Nations. Netanyahu appeared
regularly on CNN in the early 1990s, contributing to the
transformation of the world’s leading news channel into a major
Zionist propaganda tool. His political destiny was largely planned
and shaped in the United States, under the supervision of those we
now call neoconservatives, and the only thing that distinguishes him
from them is that, for public relations reasons, he does not possess
American nationality.

What’s
a neocon?” once asked Bush 43 to his father Bush 41, after more
than three years in the White House. “Do you want names, or a
description?” answered 41. “Description.” 

“Well,” said 41,
“I’ll give it to you in one word: Israel.”[9] That anecdote,
quoted by Andrew Cockburn, sums it up. The neoconservative movement
was born in the editorial office of the monthly magazine
Commentary,
which had replaced the
Contemporary
Jewish Record

in 1945 as the press organ of the American Jewish Committee. “If
there is an intellectual movement in America to whose invention Jews
can lay sole claim, neoconservatism is it,” wrote Gal
Beckerman in the
Jewish
Daily Forward
,
January
6, 2006. “It is a fact that as a political philosophy,
neoconservatism was born among the children of Jewish immigrants and
is now largely the intellectual domain of those immigrants’
grandchildren.”

The
founding fathers of neoconservatism (Norman Podhoretz, Irving
Kristol, Donald Kagan, Paul Wolfowitz, Adam Shulsky) were
self-proclaimed disciples of Leo Strauss, a German Jewish immigrant
teaching at the University of Chicago. Strauss can be characterized
as a meta-Zionist in the sense that, while an ardent supporter of the
State of Israel, he rejected the idea that Israel as a nation should
be contained within borders; Israel must retain her specificity,
which is to be everywhere, he said in essence in his 1962 lecture
“Why
We Remain Jews.”
Strauss would also approve of being called a
Machiavellian, for in his
Thoughts
on Machiavelli
,
he
praised the “the intrepidity of his thought, the grandeur of his
vision, and the graceful subtlety of his speech” (p. 13).
Machiavelli’s model of a prince was Cesar Borgia, the tyrant who
after having appointed the cruel Ramiro d’Orco to subdue the
province of Romania, had him executed with utter cruelty, thus
reaping the people’s gratitude after having diverted their hatred
onto another. Machiavelli, writes Strauss, “is a patriot of a
particular kind: He is more concerned with the salvation of his
fatherland than with the salvation of his soul” (p. 10). And that
happens to be exactly what Jewishness is all about, according to
Jewish thinkers such as Harry Waton: “The Jews that have a deeper
understanding of Judaism know that the only immortality there is for
the Jew is the immortality in the Jewish people” (read
more here
). As a matter of fact, in the
Jewish
World Review

of June 7, 1999
, Michael Ledeen, a neocon and founding member of
the
Jewish
Institute for National Security Affairs

(JINSA), assumed that Machiavelli must have been a “secret Jew,”
since “if you listen to his political philosophy you will hear
Jewish music.”

The
neoconservatives of the first generation originally positioned
themselves on the far left. Irving Kristol, one of the main editors
of Commentary, had long claimed to be a Trotskyist. It was
soon after the 1967 successful annexation of Arab territories by
Israel that the Straussians experienced their conversion to
right-wing militarism, to which they owe their new name. Norman
Podhoretz, editor-in-chief from 1960 to 1995, turned from anti-war
activist to defense budget booster in the early 70s. He gave the
following explanation in 1979: “American support for Israel
depended upon continued American involvement in international
affairs—from which it followed that an American withdrawal into the
kind of isolationist mood [. . .] that now looked as though it might
soon prevail again, represented a direct threat to the security of
Israel.” (Breaking Ranks, p. 336). Leading the U.S. into war
for the benefit of Israel is the essence of the Machiavellian
crypto-Zionists known deceptively as neoconservatives.

The
Project for a new (((American))) Century

The
story of how the neoconservatives reached the position of influence
they held under George W. Bush is a complicated one, which I can only
outline. They entered the state apparatus for the first time in the
baggage of Rumsfeld and Cheney, during president Ford’s cabinet
reshuffle known as the “Halloween Massacre,” following Nixon’s
resignation. When the Cold War calmed down after America evacuated
its troops from Vietnam in 1973, and the CIA produced reassuring
analyses of the USSR’s military capabilities and ambitions,
Rumsfeld (as Secretary of Defense) and Cheney (as Chief of Staff)
persuaded Ford to appoint an independent committee, known as Team B,
to revise upward the CIA estimates of the Soviet threat, and
reactivate a war attitude in public opinion, Congress, and
Administration. Team B was chaired by Richard Pipes and co-chaired by
Paul Wolfowitz, both introduced by Richard Perle.

During
the Democratic parenthesis of the Carter presidency (1976–80), the
neoconservatives worked at unifying the largest number of Jews around
their policies, by founding the Jewish Institute for National
Security Affairs (JINSA), which became the second-most powerful
pro-Israel lobby after AIPAC. According to its “mission
statement”
, it is “dedicated to educating Congressional,
military and civilian national security decision-makers on American
defense and strategic interests, primarily in the Middle East, the
cornerstone of which is a robust U.S.-Israeli security cooperation.”
In 1980, the neocons were rewarded by Ronald Reagan for their support
by a dozen posts in national security and foreign policy: Richard
Perle and Douglas Feith to the Department of Defense; Richard Pipes
at the National Security Council; Paul Wolfowitz, Lewis “Scooter”
Libby, and Michael Ledeen in the State Department. They helped Reagan
escalate the Cold War, showering billions of dollars on the
military-industrial complex.

The
long term planning of 9/11 probably started then. Isser Harel,
founder of Israeli secret services (Shai in 1944, Shin Bet
in 1948, Mossad until 1963) is reported as prophesizing in 1980, in
an interview with Christian Zionist Michael Evans, that Islamic
terrorism would end up hitting America in their “phallic symbol”:
“Your biggest phallic symbol is New York City and your tallest
building will be the phallic symbol they will hit”.[10]  (A
whole article would be needed to document and explain the revival of
the Jewish gift of apocalyptic prophecy in recent decades.)

In
1996, during the Clinton years, the neoconservatives threw all their
weight into their ultimate think tank, the Project for the New
American Century (PNAC), directed by William Kristol and Robert
Kagan. PNAC recommended taking advantage of the defeat of communism
to reinforce American hegemony by preventing the emergence of any
rival. Their
Statement
of Principles
vowed
to extend the current
Pax
Americana
,
which entailed “a military that is strong and ready to meet both
present and future challenges.” In its September 2000 report
entitled
Rebuilding
America’s Defenses
,
PNAC anticipated that US forces must become “able to rapidly deploy
and win multiple simultaneous large-scale wars.” This required a
profound transformation, including the development of “a new family
of nuclear weapons designed to address new sets of military
requirements.” Unfortunately, according to the authors of the
report, “the process of transformation […] is likely to be a long
one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event—like a new Pearl
Harbor.” It is certainly no coincidence that the three-hour-long
blockbuster
Pearl
Harbor
was
released in the summer 2001, conveniently entrenching the “New
Pearl Harbor” meme into the minds of millions.

PNAC’s
architects played the American hegemony card by draping themselves in
the super-patriotic discourse of America’s civilizing mission. But
their duplicity is exposed in a document brought to public knowledge
in 2008: a report published in 1996 by the Israeli think tank
Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies (IASPS),
entitled
A
Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm
,
written
specifically for the new Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
The team responsible for the report was led by Richard Perle, and
included Douglas Feith and David Wurmser, who figured the same year
among the signatories of PNAC. As its title suggests, the
Clean
Break

report invited Netanyahu to break with the Oslo Accords of 1993,
which officially committed Israel to the return of the territories it
occupied illegally since 1967. The new prime minister should instead
“engage every possible energy on rebuilding Zionism” and reaffirm
Israel’s right to the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

In
November 2000, Bush Jr. was elected under conditions that raised
protests of electoral fraud. Dick Cheney, who had directed his
campaign, named himself vice-president and introduced two dozens
neoconservatives in foreign policy key positions. The State
Department was entrusted to Colin Powell, but he was surrounded with
neocon aides such as David Wurmser. As National Security Adviser,
Condoleezza Rice, a specialist of Russia with no expertise in the
Middle East, was entirely dependent on her neocon adviser Philip
Zelikow. William Luti and Elliott Abrams, and later Eliot Cohen, were
also tasked with steering Rice. But it was mainly from within the
Defense Department under Donald Rumsfeld that the most influential
neocons were able to fashion US foreign and military policy. Richard
Perle occupied the crucial position of director of the Defense Policy
Board, responsible for defining military strategy, while Paul
Wolfowitz became the “soul of the Pentagon” as deputy secretary
with Douglas Feith as under secretary.

The
Hanukkah miracle to start WWIV

After
eight months in the presidency, Bush was confronted with the
“catastrophic event,” the “new Pearl Harbor” that PNAC had
wished for a year earlier. 9/11 was a real “Hanukkah
miracle”
for Israel, commented Mossad chief Ephraim Halevy and
Israeli National Security Council chairman Uzi Dayan. Netanyahu
rejoiced: “It’s very good
[…] it will generate immediate
sympathy […], strengthen the bond between our two peoples, because
we’ve experienced terror over so many decades, but the United
States has now experienced a massive hemorrhaging of terror.” On
September 21, he published an op-ed in the
New
York Post

entitled “Today, We Are All Americans,” in which he delivered his
favorite propaganda line: “For the bin Ladens of the world, Israel
is merely a sideshow. America is the target.” 

Three days later the
New
Republic

responded with a headline on behalf of the Americans: “We are all
Israelis now.” Americans experienced 9/11 as an act of hatred from
the Arab world, and they felt an immediate sympathy for Israel, which
the neoconservatives relentlessly exploited. One of the aims was to
encourage Americans to view Israel’s oppression of the Palestinians
as part of the global fight against Islamic terrorism.

It
was a great success. In the years preceding September 11, Israel’s
reputation had bottomed out; condemnations had been raining from
around the world for its policy of apartheid and colonization, and
its systematic war against Palestinian command structures. Increasing
numbers of American voices questioned the merits of the special
relationship between the United States and Israel. From the day of
the attacks, it was all over. As Americans now intended to fight Arab
terrorists to the death, they would stop demanding from Israel more
reasonable, proportionate retaliation against Palestinian suicide
bombers and rockets.

Instead,
the president’s speeches (written by neocon David Frum)
characterized the 9/11 attacks as the trigger for a world war of a
new type, one fought against an invisible enemy scattered throughout
the Middle East. First, vengeance must come not only against bin
Laden, but also against the state harboring him: “We will make no
distinction between those who committed these acts and those who
harbor them” (Sept. 11). Second, the war extends to the world: “Our
war on terror begins with Al Qaeda, but it does not end there. It
will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been
found, stopped and defeated” (Sept. 20). Third, any country that
does not support Washington will be treated as an enemy: “Either
you are with us, or you are with the terrorists” (Sept. 20).

In
an article in the Wall Street Journal dated November 20, 2001,
the neoconservative Eliot Cohen dubbed the war against terrorism as
“World War IV,” a framing soon echoed by other American Zionists
(the odd choice of the name WWIV rather than WWIII comes, I suspect,
from the neocons’ ethnocentric worldview, in which every world war
is a step toward Greater Israel; since one major step was
accomplished in 1967, the Cold War counts as WW3). In September 2004,
at a conference in Washington entitled “World War IV: Why We Fight,
Whom We Fight, How We Fight,” Cohen said: “The enemy in this war
is not ‘terrorism’ […] but militant Islam.” Like the Cold
War, the imminent world war, according to Cohen’s vision, has
ideological roots, will have global implications, and will last a
long time, involving a whole range of conflicts. The self-fulfilling
prophecy of a new World War centered in the Middle East has also been
popularized by Norman Podhoretz, in “How to Win World War IV”
(Commentary, February 2002), followed by a second article in,
“World War IV: How It Started, What It Means, and Why We Have to
Win,” (September 2004), and finally a book titled World War IV:
The Long Struggle Against Islamofascism
(2007).[11]

The
hijacked conspiracy and the controlled opposition

In
the case of 9/11 as in the case of Kennedy, controlled opposition
operates on many levels, and many honest scholars now realize that
the 9/11 Truth movement itself is partly channeled by individuals and
groups secretly aiming at drawing suspicions away from Israel. Such
is certainly the case of the three young Jews (Avery, Rowe, and
Bermas) who directed the film
Loose
Change

(2005), the most widely watched 9/11 conspiracy film since its first
version in 2005. They hitched their whole thesis on a comparison with
the never carried-out false flag project Operation Northwoods (timely
revealed to the public in May 2001 in James
Bamford
’s book
Body
of Secrets
,
written with the support of former NSA director Michael Hayden, now
working for Michael Chertoff), but they failed to mention the attack
on the USS Liberty, a well-documented false flag attack by Israel on
its U.S. ally. 

They did not breathe a word about the
neoconservatives’ loyalty to Israel, and treat anyone who cited the
Israeli role in 9/11 as anti-Semitic. The same can be said of
Bermas’s more recent film
Invisible
Empire
(2010),
also produced by Alex Jones: a compilation of anti-imperialist
clichés focusing on the Bushs and the Rockefellers, without a single
hint of the (((Others))).

It
is interesting to note that the 9/11 scenario put forward by
Loose
Change

had actually been prewritten by Hollywood: on the 4
th
of March, 2001, Fox
TV broadcast the first episode of the series
The
Lone Gunmen
,
watched
by 13 million Americans. The plot is about computer hackers working
for a secret cabal within the U.S. government, who hijack a jet by
remote control with the intent to crash it into one of the Twin
Towers, while making it appear to have been hijacked by Islamic
terrorists. At the last seconds, the pilots manage to regain control
of the plane. The purpose of the failed operation was to trigger a
world war under the pretext of fighting terrorism. Truthers of the
“inside job” school fancy that this episode must have been
written by some whistleblower inside Fox. Unlikely!

There
is, of course, some truth in the “inside job” theory, as I said
at the beginning. Israel (in the wider sense) would not be able to
pull such an operation and get away with it, without complicity at
the highest level of U.S. government. How does that work? Pretty much
like for the Kennedy
assassination
, if you consider that the country was then ruled by
its vice-president Dick Cheney, the president being a mere dummy (see
Lou Dubose and Jake Bernstein,
Vice:
Dick Cheney and the Hijacking of the American Presidency,
Random
House, 2006). In my book
JFK-9/11,
I have proposed a plausible scenario of how Israel had in fact
hijacked a smaller false flag attack on the Pentagon fabricated by
the American Deep State, for the limited purpose of justifying the
overthrow of the Talibans in Afghanistan, a goal fully supported by
such “Great Gamers” as Zbigniew Brzezinski, but which didn’t in
itself interest the neocons.

What
the neocons wanted was a new war against Iraq and then a general
conflagration in the Middle East leading to the crumbling of all the
enemies of Israel, with Syria and Iran high on the list. So they
outbid everyone and gave the operation the scale they wanted with the
help of their New York super-sayan Silvertein. George W. Bush,
Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, and other goyim who had been kept out
of the loop, finding themselves embroiled in geopolitical
machinations of global scope, could merely try to save face. On
September 19 and 20, Richard Perle’s Defense Policy Board met in
the company of Paul Wolfowitz and Bernard Lewis (inventor of the
self-fulfilling prophecy of the “clash of civilizations”) but in
the absence of Powell and Rice. They prepared a letter to Bush,
written on PNAC letterhead, to remind him of his historic mission:
“Even if evidence does not link Iraq directly to the attack, any
strategy aiming at the eradication of terrorism and its sponsors must
include a determined effort to remove Saddam Hussein from power in
Iraq. Failure to undertake such an effort will constitute an early
and perhaps decisive surrender in the war on international
terrorism.” [12] This was an ultimatum. Bush was certainly aware of
the leverage that the neocons had acquired over the major print and
television media. He was obliged, under penalty of ending in the
proverbial trash bin of history, to endorse the invasion of Iraq that
his father had refused the Zionists ten years earlier.

As
for Brzezinski and other genuine U.S. imperialists, their support for
the invasion of Afghanistan made their timid protests against the
Iraq war ineffective. It was a little late in February 2007 when
Brzezinski denounced before the Senate “a historical, strategic and
moral calamity […] driven by Manichaean impulses and imperial
hubris.” In 2012 he declared, regarding the risk of conflagration
with Iran, that Obama should stop
following Israel like a “stupid mule.”
He soon disappeared
from the MSM, as a useful idiot no longer useful.

The
“half truth” of the exclusively “inside job” theory, which
denounces 9/11 as a false flag operation perpetrated by the American
state on its own citizens, functions like a secondary false flag
hiding the real masters of the operation, who are in fact agents in
the service of a foreign nation. One of the aims of this
inside-jobish controlled opposition is to force American officials to
maintain the “bin Laden did it” masquerade, knowing that tearing
apart the fake Islamic flag would only reveal the U.S. flag, not the
Israeli flag. No longer controlling the media, they would not have
the means to raise this second veil to expose Israel. Any effort to
get at the truth would be political suicide. Everyone understands
what is at stake: if one day, under mounting pressure from public
opinion or for some other strategic reason, the mainstream media
abandons the official bin Laden story, the well-rehearsed slogan
“9/11 was an inside job” will have prepared Americans to turn
against their own government, while the neocon Zionists will remain
untouchable (Machiavelli’s method: make another accomplish your
dirty ends, then turn popular vengeance against him). And God knows
what will happen, if the government has not by then succeeded in
disarming its citizens through Sandy Hook-type psy-ops. Government
officials have little choice but to stick to the Al-Qaeda story, at
least for the next fifty years.

After
reaching this conclusion in
JFK-9/11,
I had the satisfaction of finding that Victor Thorn, in a book that
had eluded me (
Made
in Israel: 9-11 and the Jewish Plot Against America,
Sisyphus
Press, 2011
), had already expressed it in harsher terms: “In
essence, the ‘9-11 truth movement’ was created
prior
to
Sept. 11, 2001 as a means of suppressing news relating to Israeli
complicity. By 2002–2003, ‘truthers’ began appearing at rallies
holding placards that read ‘9-11 was an inside job.’ Initially,
these signs provided hope for those who didn’t believe the
government and mainstream media’s absurd cover stories. But then an
awful realization emerged: The slogan ‘9-11 was an inside job’
was quite possibly the greatest example of Israeli propaganda ever
devised. […] The mantra, ‘9-11 was an inside job’ is only
partially true and is inherently damaging to the ‘truth movement’
because it shifts all attention away from Israel’s traitorous
assault against America. […] Leaders of these fake 9-11 groups know
the truth about Israel’s 9-11 barbarity. Their willingness to
perpetuate or cover it up ultimately makes them as guilty and vile as
those who launched the attacks. 

There are no degrees of separation in
this matter. It’s a black-and-white issue. Tell the entire truth
about Israel’s Murder, Inc. cabal, or sleep in the same infected
bed as these murdering dogs lie in. […] Faux conspiratologists
complain about the government and news sources not telling the truth,
yet they’ve erected an utter blackout on data regarding Israel and
9-11.”

The
missing .3 trillion

Some
readers will complain that I am making a very complex operation
appear too simple. I plead guilty: I have merely tried here to
outline the case against Israel in the short scope of an article. But
I am fully aware that creating Greater Israel through a world war
fought by the U.S. might not have been the only consideration in the
preparation of 9/11. Many private interests had to be involved. Yet I
believe none of them interfered with Israel’s plan, and most of
them supported it.

There
is, for example, the missing
gold in the WTC basement
: $200 million were recovered from the
estimated $1 billion stored: who took the rest? But that is nothing
compared to the $2.3 trillion that were missing from the accounts of
the Department of Defense for the year 2000, in addition to $1.1
trillion missing for 1999, according to a televised declaration made
on September 10
th,
2001, the day before the attacks, by Donald Rumsfeld. Just for
comparison, this is more than one thousand times the colossal losses
of Enron, which triggered a chain of bankruptcies that same year. All
this money evaporated into thin air under the watch of William Cohen,
Defense Secretary during Bill Clinton’s second term. In 2001, the
man who was tasked to help track down the missing trillions was Under
Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) Dov Zakheim, a member of PNAC and
an ordained rabbi. 

Practically, the mystery had to be resolved by
financial analysts at Resource Services Washington (RSW).
Unfortunately, their offices were destroyed by “al-Qaeda” the
following morning. The “hijackers” or Flight AA77, rather than
hitting the command center on the eastern side of the Pentagon, chose
to attempt a theoretically impossible downward spiral at 180 degrees
in order to hit the west side of the building precisely at the
location of the accounting offices. The 34 experts at RSW perished in
their offices, together with 12 other financial analysts, as is noted
in the biography of the team leader Robert Russell for the National
9/11 Pentagon Memorial
: “The weekend before his death, his
entire office attended a crab feast at the Russell home. They were
celebrating the end of the fiscal-year budget completion. Tragically,
every person that attended that party was involved in the Pentagon
explosion, and are currently missing”.

By
an incredible coincidence, one of the financial experts trying to
make sense of the Pentagon financial loss, Bryan Jack, was reported
to have died at the precise location of his office, not because he
was working there that day, but because he was on a business trip on
Flight AA77. In the words of the
Washington
Post

database
: “Bryan C. Jack was responsible for crunching
America’s defense budget. He was a passenger on American Airlines
Flight 77, bound for official business in California when his plane
struck the Pentagon, where, on any other day, Jack would have been at
work at his computer”. Yahweh must have a sense of chutzpah!

(maar nogmaals: door te klikken op 911 zie je genoeg berichten waarin je de belangrijkste figuren en labels ‘tegenkomt’, waarvan er een aantal in het bovenstaande artikel worden genoemd)

Iran zou de VS ambassadeur voor Zuid-Afrika willen vermoorden: complottheorie van de CIA

Rond 9.16 u. vanmorgen op BNR het bericht dat Iran van zins zou zijn Lana Marks, de VS ambassadeur voor Zuid-Afrika, te vermoorden als vergelding voor de moord op de Iraanse generaal Qassem Soleimani…… E.e.a. zou berusten op rapporten van geheime diensten in de VS, waar de CIA ‘met naam’ wordt genoemd, dit volgens een VS ambtenaar die de zaak kent en iemand die het rapport zou hebben gezien…… ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Ja, bijzonder geloofwaardig allemaal, zeker als je nagaat dat de geheime diensten van de VS vooral goed zijn in het maken van leugens over- en verdachtmakingen tegen landen die de VS niet welgevallig zijn….. 

Volgens Politico die het bericht bracht was de VS al op de hoogte van het gevaar voor de ambassadeur, echter de laatste weken zou men wat specifiekere leugens hebben gebracht, nu zegt men ronduit, zonder dat iemand ook maar enig bewijs heeft gezien voor deze meer dan belachelijke beschuldiging, dat de Iraanse ambassade in Pretoria (Zuid-Afrika) deel zou nemen aan dit complot (beter: aan deze complottheorie….)…..

Iran considering assassinating US ambassador to South Africa over to killing  of Qassem Soleimani | Daily Mail Online

(Zelfs voor foto’s zoekt men in het westen het liefst foto’s van de vermoorde Iraanse generaal Soleimani, waarop hij boos kijkt….)

Waarom zou Iran in godsnaam zo dom zijn om iets dergelijks te ondernemen, zeker naar steeds duidelijke wordt dat steeds meer soennitisch arabische landen zich onder aanvoering van Israël verenigen tegen de sjiitische islamgelovigen en dan m.n.tegen het sjiitische Iran (en Jemen, waar Saoedi-Arabië, een aantal andere arabische landen als de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten [VAE], Egypte en Marokko met hulp van de VS en Groot-Brittannië, een genocide uitvoeren op de sjiitische bevolking in Jemen…..)

Om deze nieuwe verdachtmaking tegen Iran kracht bij te zetten heeft Politico alle leugens over Iran uit de met poep bedekte wc getrokken, waarna je als argeloze lezer maar één ding kan concluderen (althans als het telraam in het hoofd beperkt is): Iran is een duivelse staat die de stabiliteit in het Midden-Oosten keer op keer doet wankelen….. Terwijl de werkelijkheid laat zien dat de VS daar verantwoordelijk voor is, de VS dat met hulp van haar oorlogshond NAVO sinds 2001 in Afghanistan, het Midden-Oosten en Afrikaanse landen als Libië, Somalië, Soedan en Eritrea*, meer dan 2,5 miljoen mensen heeft vermoord….. Een zaak waarmee de westerse reguliere media en politiek geen moeite hebben, deze media en politiek herhalen alle leugens over Iran als was het het woord van god……. ‘Geen moeite mee hebben?’ Ze werken er zelfs aan mee……. 

Intussen zijn er een flink aantal moslimlanden die geen probleem meer hebben met deze westerse terreur (en dat is het: grootschalige VS terreur uitgeoefend in illegale oorlogen, geheime militaire acties (o.l.v. de CIA) en drone aanvallen, niets anders dan moorden op verdachten waarbij meer dan 90% van de slachtoffers niet eens werd verdacht……)…. Zoals deze landen ook geen probleem meer hebben met de voortgaande massaslachtingen onder Palestijnen door Israël……. (Israël, ook al zo’n ‘stabiliserende factor in het Midden-Oosten….’) Israël is na de VS dan ook de grootste spin het het web die Iran het liefst letterlijk een kop kleiner zou willen maken met kernraketten)

Het is duidelijk dat men de stok al bijna gevonden heeft om Iran mee te slaan, ofwel om de aanval op dat land te openen……

Hoe is het allemaal mogelijk???

‘Russen zijn de domste idioten op de wereld’: Navalny als breekijzer voor de VS en de EU

‘Gifdossier Navalny’: TheSaker heeft een geweldig humoristisch en sarcastisch stuk geschreven met de kop:
‘Russians are the dumbest idiots on the planet’

Feilloos
wordt aangegeven dat Rusland wel de laatste is die zo dom zou moeten zijn om te
pogen Navalny met novitsjok (of novichok: wat je maar het lekkerst vindt) om te brengen, terwijl de FSB (en de
militaire geheime dienst GROe, al noemt the Saker deze niet) zoveel
mogelijkheden had om Navalny te vermoorden zonder enig spoor na te
laten dat richting de Russische overheid zou wijzen….. (en vergeet niet dat experts de FSB [en de GROe] als de beste geheime dienst ter wereld aanwijzen)

Voorts
stelt The Saker dat het sprookje dat novitsjok zou zijn gebruikt
volkomen belachelijk is, immers novitsjok heeft tot nu toe niemand gedood, terwijl het een uiterst dodelijk middel zou zijn…. De Britten hadden het plan opgevat om het huis van Skripal af te breken vanwege de grote
hoeveelheid gevonden novitsjok…. Vreemd dan dat een hamster en een
kat van de Skripals de ‘aanval met novitsjok’ zonder probleem hebben
overleefd….. ‘Vreemd’ daar (nogmaals) echte novitsjok bijzonder dodelijk is!!
(dodelijk voor alle dieren, dus naast het ‘zoogdier’ mens, zeker voor
zoogdieren als katten en hamsters, die weet ik hoeveel kleiner zijn dan mensen!!)

Either Russians Are The Dumbest Idiots On Earth, Or… – Finanz.dk

De ‘vervloekte’ Russische artsen hebben Navalny atropine toegediend, aldus The Saker,
hetzelfde middel dat de Duitse artsen hebben gebruikt voor de
behandeling (van Navalny), ofwel de Russische artsen hebben wel
degelijk alles op alles gezet om hem te redden, wellicht dan ook dat
Navalny inderdaad iets geheel anders onder de leden had, zoals
de Russische artsen aanvankelijk stelden…..

Lees dit
uiterst vermakelijke sarcastisch schrijven van The Saker en geeft het
door mensen, immers we worden belazerd waar we bij staan, Rusland zal
en moet hangen en waarom? Ten eerste past het in de alsmaar
voortgaande demonisering van Rusland (goed voor de VS wapenindustrie in de breedste zin van het woord) en ten tweede om Nord Stream 2
te stoppen, een gaspijpleiding van Rusland naar Duitsland, een doorn
in het oog van de Trump administratie en van veel andere EU lidstaten
(vooral uit Oost-Europa*), Trump wil immers het
peperdure LNG slijten aan de EU, LNG gemaakt van het zwaar door de VS gesubsidieerde schaliegas……
(schaliegas waarvan de winning stil ligt in de VS, dit vanwege de lage gasprijs)

Russians
are the dumbest idiots on the planet!

By
The Saker

September 09, 2020
Information

– Russians are dumb.  Hopelessly stupid.  They are amateurs
of the worst kind.  Ignoramuses on steroids.  Why?

Well, for one, their
so-called super-dooper biowarfare agent “Novichok” seems unable
to kill anybody

The Russians must have realized that.  This is why, when they
tried to kill Skripal (after freeing him from jail) they put that
Novichok thing all over the place:  on the bench near Salisbury,
on Skripal’s door handle, even in some bottle of perfume a local
addict found in the trash.  Probably all over the Skripal home,
and this is why the Brits initially said that they would tear down
the extremely toxic place (yet both the Skripal cat and their hamster
survived – tells you how utterly useless that pretend biowarfare
substance really was…).

One would have thought
that after this total cluster-bleep the Russians would have learned
their lesson.

But no.  They are
clearly too dumb for that.

So they decided to
poison Alexei Navalnyi, a well-know “dissident”.

And they failed.

Again!

Not only did the use
exactly the same “Novichok” (or so says the German media), they
allowed Navalnyi’s aircraft to make an emergency landing and the
FSB did nothing to prevent an ambulance to bring Navalnyi to a
hospital.  Apparently, the FSB does not even have the authority
to prevent such urgent treatment of the man they want to kill. 
Heck, they can even create a traffic jam to prevent Navalnyi from
getting to a hospital.

How incompetent!

Even worse, these
accursed Russki doctors gave Navalnyi atropine, the exact same
substance the Germans gave him.  Makes me wonder if these
doctors were not all CIA/BND agents trying to save Navalnyi’s life…

Clearly, the FSB are
also stupid: they can’t even get aircraft or doctors to obey them…

But it gets worse. 
In spite of the fact that Navalnyi has broken the terms of his
suspended sentence and in spite of the fact that such a person cannot
leave the country, these Russian imbeciles allowed him to fly to
Germany while his body was still full of Novichok sloshing around.

All the Russians
needed to do to kill Navalnyi would have been to give him a heart
attack using any one of the many untraceable agents in existence
(say, potassium chloride).

In despair, the
clueless FSB might have caused Navalnyi do die in a car “crash”.

But they can’t even
do that.  Shame on you, FSB!

And since Navalnyi
is diabetic
, killing him ought to be fantastically simple: just
give him the wrong dose of meds and,
voilà,
bye-bye Navalnyi.  But not, these idiots decided to use the now
infamous Novichok.

Obviously, Russians
are the dumbest, most incompetent, idiots on the planet! Russian
special services and biological research institutes are especially
known for the crass incompetence.  Proof

They stole the Covid19
vaccine from the Brits, THEN they made it dangerous.

Idiots!

Right?!

Just like the
so-called Russian hackers (another Russian category famous for its
extremely low IQ!) could not even try to hack DNC computers or steal
the 2016 election without leaving their Russian sounding aliases all
over the place.  Heck, these hackers even worked only during
Moscow time office hours.

I am telling you –
the Russians are fantastically stupid, the dumbest people on the
planet.

Especially their intel
and security officers, their biowarfare specialists and their
hackers.  Morons. All of them!

Let’s all repeat it
together: the Russians are dumb! the Russians are dumb! the Russians
are dumb!

That is very “highly
likely”!

The
Biden campaign and the attempt to “rescue” American hegemony

By
Andre Damon

The Biden campaign and the attempt to “rescue” American hegemony - World  Socialist Web Site

August 23, 2020
Information
Clearing House

–  Over the past week, the American public was subjected to an
eight-hour infomercial, officially termed by the Democratic Party a
“convention,” in which the long-time political reactionary Joe
Biden was packaged simultaneously as the great American everyman and
a miracle cure for America’s problems.

Amid celebrity cameos,
empty platitudes, and unconvincing “personal” anecdotes, the vast
majority of this week’s telethon was devoid of any actual
discussion of program and policies. Behind the hoopla, however, there
are significant conflicts within the ruling class, centered primarily
on issues of foreign policy.

These conflicts were
partially revealed on Tuesday night, when the convention aired a
pre-recorded segment featuring a group of seven military,
intelligence and diplomatic officials who claimed that the Trump
administration was not fighting the US wars in the Middle East and
pursuing its conflicts with Russia and China aggressively enough.

Commenting on Trump’s
Middle East policy, Brett McGurk, in charge of the US operations in
the Middle East under Obama, said, “Our military had a policy to
maintain our presence in Syria,” which Trump went on to “abandon.”
He concluded, “It’s shameful.”

Rose Gottemoeller,
former Deputy Secretary General of NATO, concluded that Trump “hasn’t
been standing up” to Russia and China “at all.” Another State
Department official added, “Thanks to Donald Trump, our adversaries
are stronger, and bolder.”

Following the segment,
General Colin Powell added that Biden “will make it his job to know
when anyone dares to threaten us, he will stand up to our adversaries
with strength and experience. They will know he means business.”
The “business” for which Powell is best known is the destruction
of Iraq and the death of one million of its inhabitants, based on
false claims about “weapons of mass destruction.”

These themes were
expanded upon in a letter published Friday by a group of 72
high-level intelligence and military officials—and war
criminals—headed by former CIA and NSA director Michael Hayden,
declaring their support for Biden.

The first of the
letter’s ten bullet points states that Trump “has called NATO
‘obsolete,’ branded Europe a ‘foe,’ mocked the leaders of
America’s closest friends, and threatened to terminate longstanding
US alliances.” As a result, the letter concludes, “ Donald Trump
has gravely damaged America’s role as a world leader.”

In other words, the
present administration has undermined the fundamental geostrategic
aims that have led the United States into three decades of war: The
effort to control the Eurasian landmass, including the Middle East.

In the four years
since Trump became the Republican nominee, a ferocious conflict has
been raging within the ruling class, centered on differences over
foreign policy, and in particular the “hot war” being waged
between the Ukrainian government and pro-Russian forces in its
Eastern regions after the US-backed coup in 2014.

Instead of focusing on
the conflict with Russia that has been the preeminent concern of much
of the foreign policy establishment, the Trump administration has
been preoccupied with stunting the economic growth of China while
building up US military capabilities to fight a war in the Pacific.

But here, too, the
military and intelligence figures aligned with the Biden campaign
feel that the White House has been ineffective. As two of the
letter’s signatories wrote in an article in
Foreign
Policy

magazine, “Trump has confronted China by starting trade wars with
everyone else” rather than involving other imperialist states.
“Major democratic powers including Japan, France, and Canada are
desperate to work with the United States to blunt China’s predatory
technology policies.”

From the standpoint of
the ruling class, it is primarily these differences over foreign
policy, not domestic policy, that are being fought out in the
election. Facing the greatest social and economic crisis since the
Great Depression, domestic policy has been conducted on a largely
bipartisan basis. The CARES Act, which sanctioned the
multi-trillion-dollar bailout of Wall Street while starving testing
and contact tracing, passed unanimously in the Senate and by an
unrecorded voice vote in the House.

The latest issue of
Foreign
Affairs
,
one of the main journals of US geopolitics, lays out some of the
concerns of the dominant factions of the state. “After nearly four
years of turbulence,” the lead editorial states, “the country’s
enemies are stronger, its friends are weaker, and the United States
itself is increasingly isolated and prostrate.”

Its concern is that
Trump has proven an unreliable steward of the interests of the ruling
class abroad. “Dragging his party and the executive branch along,
the president has reshaped national policy in his own image: focused
on short-term advantage, obsessed with money, and uninterested in
everything else.”

The magazine’s lead
story declares that Trump’s unstable and erratic foreign policy has
resulted in a situation in which “China is wealthier and stronger,
North Korea has more nuclear weapons and better missiles… and
Nicolás Maduro is more entrenched in Venezuela, as is Bashar
al-Assad in Syria.”

From the standpoint of
the Biden campaign, the solution to all of these crises is to
reassert American dominance and “leadership” over its traditional
allies in Europe and Japan in order to pursue a more aggressive US
policy against Russia and China. The United States must again be the
world hegemon.

The central focus of
the new administration will be “reclaiming America’s place in the
world” through the reassertion of “American exceptionalism,”
stated Joe Biden adviser Jake Sullivan in the
Atlantic
.

Earlier this year,
Biden published an article entitled “Rescuing U.S. Foreign Policy
After Trump” in the March/April issue of
Foreign
Affairs
.
In that article, he declares, that “to counter Russian aggression,
we must keep the alliance’s military capabilities sharp.” At the
same time, the United States needs to “get tough with China.” The
“most effective way to meet that challenge is to build a united
front of U.S. allies and partners to confront China.”

But while the latest
issue of
Foreign
Affairs

may be titled “The World Trump Made,” the geopolitical debacle
facing the United States did not spring from Trump’s head. Trump
did not make the “world.” Rather, the “world”—and,
specifically, the crisis of American imperialism—made Trump.

The decline in the
hegemonic position of the United States extends over a period of
decades and was already evident prior to the collapse of the Soviet
Union in 1990-91. The dissolution of American imperialism’s Cold
War adversary was seized on by the strategists of the American ruling
class to declare a “unipolar moment.” The United States could
utilize its unrivaled military power to counter its declining
economic position through force.

The endless series of
wars launched by the United States over the past three decades have
destroyed entire societies—in Iraq, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Libya,
Syria, Ukraine, and Yemen, among others. But they have failed to
reverse US imperialism’s fortunes. Moreover, they have profoundly
distorted and brutalized American society itself: a process of which
the fascistic Trump administration is an expression.

Even prior to Trump’s
inauguration, there were growing tensions between the US and its
erstwhile allies in Europe. The coronavirus pandemic and the
disastrous response of the ruling class to it—a policy that has
been bipartisan—has further eroded the global position of American
capitalism.

American imperialism
confronts intractable problems, and first among them is the growth of
social opposition within the United States itself. Among the
considerations motivating support for the Biden campaign within the
ruling class is the hope that it can somehow establish a broader base
for imperialist aggression abroad. The promotion of identity politics
is aimed at further integrating privileged sections of the upper
middle class behind the project of global domination. This is what
Kamala Harris represents.

A Biden/Harris
administration will not inaugurate a new dawn of American hegemony. 

Rather, the attempt to assert this hegemony will be through
unprecedented violence. If it is brought to power—with the support
of the assemblage of reactionaries responsible for the worst crimes
of the 21st century—it will be committed to a vast expansion of
war. Trump and Pompeo are barreling headlong toward a conflict with
China. Biden’s critique of this disastrous course is that the
United States needs to get “tough,” whether against Russia,
China, Afghanistan, Syria, or everywhere in between.

The American ruling
class, moreover, confronts in the growth of the class struggle the
most serious threat to its geopolitical ambitions.

Whichever course is
ultimately determined by the election, US imperialism has, as the
World
Socialist Web Site

warned in the run-up to the Iraq war, a “rendezvous with disaster.”
All factions of the US state are united on a course of action that
will lead to the deaths of countless millions. The struggle against
war will not go forward through the selection of either Trump or
Biden, but through the independent struggle of the working class.

Het martelen van onderzoeksjournalist Julian Assange: een interview met Andrew Fowler

Andrew
Fowler is een Australische gelauwerde onderzoeksjournalist, die
eerder werkte voor ABC. Hij heeft zich vastgebeten in de zaak
Assange, de meer dan schunnige vervolging van een man die zich
op uitstekende wijze heeft gekwijt van zijn taak als
onderzoeksjournalist en die een groot aantal oorlogsmisdaden en
smerige en gewelddadige politieke spelletjes van de VS (en bondgenoten) heeft blootgelegd…… 

Ondanks dat is Assange door zijn ‘collega’s’ van de reguliere media uitgemaakt voor
verrader en charlatan, terwijl deze ‘journalisten’ zich achter de enorme
terreur hebben geschaard die de westerse wereld onder aanvoering van de
VS hebben uitgeoefend en nog uitoefenen in het Midden-Oosten, Afrika en Zuid-Amerika (daar o.a. met grootschalige geheime operaties), ook al is die enorme terreur, veelal in de vorm van illegale oorlogen, die zogenaamd
gelegitimeerd zijn met overduidelijke leugens en dat niet één keer maar
meerdere keren!!! Overigens moet je daar Oekraïne ook nog aan toevoegen als een land dat door ingrijpen van de VS in grote ellende is beland en waar men NB oorlog voert tegen de bevolkingsgroep die de voormalige president Janoekovytsj democratisch (en dus legaal) heeft gekozen en dat in door internationale waarnemers goedgekeurde verkiezingen…..

In het
volgende artikel van John Kendall Hawkins, gepubliceerd op
CounterPunch, komt het hele verhaal van Assange nog eens
voorbij en wordt uitvoerig ingegaan op de manier waarop Assange
geestelijk en daarmee lichamelijk is gemarteld, eerst in de
Ecuadoraanse ambassade (in de tijd voorafgaand aan zijn illegale
arrestatie door de politie van Londen) en daarna in de Belmarsh
gevangenis, waar hij in isolatie(-folter) wordt gehouden……

Het
artikel met veel verwijzingen, o.a, naar de film ‘Not in our name’,
gemaakt door John Furse, waarna met een paar bekenden wordt gesproken
over het vreselijke lot dat Assange heeft getroffen, waarbij hij
schandalig genoeg ook nog werd beschuldigd van verkrachting, een
smerige streek van het Zweedse ministerie van justitie, uiteraard met
hulp van terreurorganisatie CIA…….. De journalisten die zo’n
commentaar hebben op Assange, alleen omdat hij de waarheid naar
buiten bracht (en niemand in gevaar heeft gebracht zoals zo vaak
wordt gelogen als zou hij dit wel hebben gedaan), zouden minstens de film van Furse moeten zien……

Als
Julian Assange wordt uitgeleverd en veroordeeld in de VS, zal dat een
grote klap zijn voor de echt onafhankelijke journalistiek op de sociale media en op zeker dat met de uitspraak andere onderzoeksjournalisten worden
gewaarschuwd de mond te houden als het om zware misdaden van de overheid
gaat…..

Assange zal in de VS op zeker tot een heel
lange gevangenisstraf worden veroordeeld, terwijl hij in feite al meer dan 9 jaar
heeft vastgezeten en dat voor het vertellen van de waarheid en het bewijs daarvoor te hebben gegeven, NB met officiële documenten (op Wikileaks), zaken waarop het
volk recht heeft!! Een groot aantal journalisten van de reguliere
media moeten zich dan ook doodschamen dat ze Assange zo hebben
besmeurd……

Lees het
volgende uitstekende artikel, zie de video en geeft het door, tijd dat de wereld
wakker wordt en Assange in de armen sluit, het is een schande dat
deze man wordt gefolterd voor het naar buiten brengen van de smerige
waarheid die men in het westen wil verdoezelen…… Vergeet niet dat
ook Nederland blindelings heeft meegewertk aan de massamoorden van de
VS in de illegale oorlogen die deze terreurentiteit o.a. in het Midden-Oosten en Afghanistan heeft gevoerd en nog voert……. Met die illegale oorlogen waren de heren/dames journalisten het zoals gezegd wel eens, zonder
naar de zogenaamde redenen daarvoor te kijken (leugens van de CIA, NSA en dat niet zelden in samenwerking met andere geheime diensten als de MIVD), laat staan deze te onderzoeken………
(en dat zijn dezelfde journalisten die de woorden fake news in de
mond durven te nemen als ze het hebben over de onafhankelijke journalistiek op de sociale media…..)

Torturing
Assange: An Interview with Andrew Fowler

by John
Kendall Hawkins

Drawing
by Nathaniel St. Clair

I love Wikileaks.”

DJ Trump

Can’t we drone him?”

Hillary Clinton

Andrew Fowler is an Australian
award-winning investigative journalist and a former reporter for the
ABC’s Foreign Correspondent and Four Corners programs. and the
author of
The
Most Dangerous Man in the World: Julian Assange and WikiLeaks’
Fight for Freedom
.
This is an updated edition of his 2011 account of the rise and
political imprisonment of Assange. 

Much of that account explained how
Assange seemingly inevitably moved toward an adversarial positioning
against American imperialism abroad. He was a tonic for the
indifference expressed by so many ordinary Americans in the traumatic
aftermath of 9/11 and the rise of the surveillance state. Boston
Legal’s Alan Shore (James Spader) seems to sum
it up
succinctly.

His updated version discusses the
torture Assange is currently undergoing at Belmarsh prison in
Britain. Here is a must-see
film
regarding his torture.

His book also contains the latest
on UC Global’s comprehensive spying on Assange and his visitors at
the Ecuadorian embassy in London in the last year of his ‘refuge’
there. UC Global is a Spanish security company hired to protect the
embassy. It has since been revealed that they were passing on data to
American intelligence, presumably the CIA. 

Certainly, Fowler implies
such a connection in his updated book, citing two Assange hacking
breaches of US government servers, each of which, Fowler writes, the
CIA went berserk, as if they’d been hit by a foreign enemy. In the
last (new) chapter of the book, “The Casino,” Fowler describes
how outraged the CIA was when Assange published their hacking tools,
known as Vault 7, on Wikileaks: “Sean Roche, the deputy director of
digital innovation at the CIA, remembers the reaction from those
inside the CIA. He said he got a call from another CIA director who
was out of breath: ‘It was the equivalent of a digital Pearl
Harbor.’” Below is my recent interview with the author.

* Note: Upon his release of the
Pentagon Papers, Daniel Ellsberg was referred to as “the most
dangerous man in the world.”

             

What is the up-to-date
status of Julian’s health?

It seems quite clear that there is
an attempt by the British and US administrations to destroy Assange,
either driving him to suicide or a psychological breakdown. He has
had a lung condition for a number of years, which has not been
properly treated, and is clearly suffering from huge stress. During
his last court appearance over a video link, there were long pauses
between his words, even when speaking his own name.

When Chelsea Manning was
imprisoned at Quantico she spent 23 hours per day in solitary
confinement and was stripped naked at night. How does Julian’s
treatment at Belmarsh compare? Manning’s treatment was said to be
an attempt to coerce her into ratting on others, including,
presumably Assange. What do you see as the ultimate purpose of
Assange’s treatment? And how does it amount to torture?

The ultimate purpose of Assange’s
treatment is a warning to others. Particularly other journalists.
It’s the modern day equivalent of crucifixion, putting heads of
enemies on spikes, or public hangings. The torture of Assange
involves two main areas: being confined to three rooms in a single
building for 7 years, and unable to leave without fear of arrest and
extradition to Sweden which was playing an underhand role to allow
Assange to be extrdited to the US. As the UN rapporteur on torture
Nils Meltzer wrote that never in the two decades he had spent
investigating war crimes had he ever seen such a ganging up of so
many powerful nations against one individual. It is a testament to
Assange’s mental strength that he resisted at all.

No effort was made by the
Swedes to “question” Assange once he was lifted from the
Ecuadorian Embassy, suggesting that their purpose all along was, as
Assange and his defenders averred, a pretext for hand-over. You’d
think there was some way to nix the bail jump charge given this
likelihood of intergovernmental collusion. Thoughts?

There are no outstanding
allegations for Assange to answer in Sweden. They were always only
allegations, rather than charges. It is important to understand that
if the Swedish prosecutors had charged Assange, they would have had
to reveal the evidence of the ‘offences’ to his lawyers upon
which those charges were based. And the evidence was not only thin,
it pointed to a conspiracy. So it was possible to keep Assange in the
embassy, while the UK prosecuting authority worked at ways of getting
him extradited to Sweden. 

There seems little doubt that the plan all
along was to use Sweden as a holding pen for Assange as the US
applied for his extradition. It is possible he could take his case to
the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), but the Brexit decision,
makes this area extremely murky.

Can you provide more
details about the UC Global, the Spanish company brought into the
Ecuadorian Embassy to spy on Assange? Do we know more about what data
that they gathered? Has a more definitive connection to the CIA been
made? Has any further effort been put into place to quash the
extradition process based on this fact alone? (He could never expect
a fair trial back in the US if such surveillance and potentially
framing were done.)

UC Global not only recorded
hundreds of conversations inside the Ecuadorian embassy, but also
photographed
the phones [and] their location identifying IMEI numbers
,
passports and other documents of everyone who visited Assange in the
embassy between 2015 and 2018. It’s my understanding that the case
running in Madrid at the moment against the former CEO of UC Global,
David Morales, who is charged with illegally spying on Assange and
his lawyers (a specifically illegal act in Europe) will be used by
the Assange legal team to argue that the US extradition case should
be thrown out. It is my understanding that if any material gathered
spying on Assange and his lawyers is used, or even known about, by
those involved in the US prosecution – the charges must be
withdrawn. There has been no definitive connection to the CIA. The
closest I have managed to make the link is to the State Department
and White House confidantes.

Snowden’s, Permanent
Record
is one of the best reads I’ve had in quite some time.
You could argue that his revelations are equally, if not more
significant, than what Assange offers up through Wikileaks. Where do
you stand on the difference of value, if any, between Wikileaks and
the Snowden revelations?

The main differences are: Assange
is a recipient of information which as a journalist he publishes.
Snowden is a source. When it comes to quantifying the different
values of their work, Assange mainly provided information and
analysis, whereas Snowden exposed intelligence gathering systems. In
the source-journalist relationship, they both need each other. Both
exposed the activities of a war-making machine. Without Assange it is
unlikely that we would have had Snowden. It was WikiLeaks that opened
up the public on a truly massive scale to a secret world of horror
and deception which until then had been largely hidden from view. For
Snowden’s part he brought the argument home that it wasn’t just
foreign governments who were being spied on, it was the Americans
themselves. They both played a significant and at times overlapping
role in revealing the truth about the world we’re in.

Assange and Snowden seem to
have had their differences over the years. Snowden describes in PR
how he chose his nickname: “The final name I chose for my
correspondence was ‘Verax,’ Latin for ‘speaker of truth,’ in
the hopes of proposing an alternative to the model of a hacker called
‘Mendax’ (‘speaker of lies’)—the pseudonym of the young man
who’d grow up to become WikiLeaks’s Julian Assange.” (p.193)
There was irritability there between them, and Snowden didn’t trust
Assange with his life (fearing that a dump, rather than a
journo-processed revelation system, would close off future
whistleblower arguments). His first choice had been the
NYT,
but their suppression of James Risen’s 2004 pre-election piece on
STELLARWIND enraged him and he ended up going with Greenwald
et
al
, instead.
Snowden suggests character differences between the two, but on the
other hand Assange really pissed the US government off when he sent a
woman to rescue Snowden from Hong Kong. Some of us thought Obama was
going to shoot down Bolivia One with president Evo Morales on board
because Obama thought Snowden was onboard.

 

I see in Permanent
Record
Snowden says he
decided not to go with WikiLeaks because of a change of policy to
publish material unredacted, or ‘pristine’ as he calls it. Not
sure why he says this because WL policy is to redact. [Here’s
Snowden’s explanation
.] WL did put all the
Iraq/Afghanistan/Cablegate documents online un-redacted, but only
after David Leigh of the
Guardian
published the password — and the material was already out on the
internet. I’ve never asked Assange this, but there is another
Mendax. In the 1920s an Australian science fiction writer Erle Cox’a
Mendax was an eccentric inventor. Mendax experiments with ‘matter
transmission’ ‘invisibility’ and ‘extracting gold from
seawater’. There is a tension between the two, no doubt about it.
Snowden still errs on the side of secrecy and Assange on the side of
publication, possibly the difference between an ex-intelligence agent
and a journalist.

Covid-19 seems to be the
wild card in the deck, vis-a-vis Assange’s extradition to the US.
If he doesn’t contract the illness in prison, then his extradition
next year could prove problematic — courts, protests, circus. How
do you think the virus will affect the legal proceedings? Do you
think he’ll be better off under Biden’s DOJ? Or worse, given the
perceived threat to the Democrats he represents? Do you see a way for
his defense to exploit the DNC/Russia hack dishonesty?

Not sure how Covid will impact
anything much, other than slowing down the process, which in itself
is extremely problematic for Assange. He’s already been in prison
or under house arrest (including the embassy) for nine years. I’m
not sure what it takes to embarrass the UK government into refusing
the extradition request, but the new indictment is surely turning the
political prosecution into a farce. The US now wants to re-arrest
Assange to wrap in a new indictment because the first one was likely
to fail. In past years it might have been possible for the UK
Government to reject this deceptive or incompetent behaviour by the
US, but Britain is a spent force now on the world stage, and the US
can do whatever it wants.

As for Biden’s DoJ, he’s called
Assange a ‘high-tech
terrorist
’ and has recently said though he favours freedom of
the press it should not compromise US national security. Not much
hope there.

One hope Assange has is the
possible pardoning of Snowden. It plays to Trump’s ‘deep state’
argument that the intelligence agencies are out of control and were
involved in the fabrication of Russian collusion. [Here’s Snowden
referencing his work for the
“Deep State”
] Assange’s work has exposed CIA atrocities
(which supports Trump’s position) but WikiLeaks has also revealed
evidence of war crimes by the US military, an establishment so
admired by his core supporters. I fear that a Snowden pardon, much as
I would personally welcome it, would only further isolate Assange.

If
Assange goes down, do you see a future for journalism in the world —
given America’s so-called leadership in this area, by way of the
holy first amendment, but with dwindling global newspapers. The

Guardian, WaPo
and
the
NYT
remain the only papers of record available in every international
terminal in the world — and sales falling for them, the fight over
what’s real news and what isn’t underway (a proxy war to control
the narrative), how do you see the fight for journalism ahead?

If Assange goes down, it will be
the third domino. First, the rising power of executive government;
second, the destruction of the, at times, countervailing power of the
mainstream media, including public broadcasters who draw their
political power from their audiences (and thus to a certain extent
are independent). The internet has savaged media budgets which has
weakened the overall media environment and empowered governments to
attack and cut public broadcasters. Assange who used the internet as
a weapon for journalism provided a way to re-energise old media
structures — engage readers and challenge executive government
authority. He provided a way to democratise journalism. It is the
reason he is such a threat to the hegemony of the US led five eyes
nations, who until recently in a uni-polar political and strategic
world, have ruled supreme.

I sometimes marvel at the
effect on journalism and even constitutional issues in America that
Australians have had. Early on, Assange seems to have declared war
on
the DoD and, later, the US State Department; John Pilger has,
with his interview with the CIA “rogue
Duane Clarridge, exposed the full fuckin hubris of American foreign
policy; and, Fox News has so dumbed down the political conversation
in America that it may be heading for a fate like that depicted in
Idiocracy.
Any thoughts?

There’s a strange contradiction
in Australia. Australians are very conservative, and cautious, but
part of the national identity is tied to the notion of
anti-authoritarianism, dating back to the nation’s convict past.
The degradation of the mainly poor, transported to Australia from the
UK and Ireland two centuries ago for often minor crimes, created a
bedrock of antagonism against the ruling ‘elites’. This long
history of dissent in Australia has produced outstanding journalists
such as Pilger and Assange, Wilfred Burchett and Philip Knightly. I
can think of no better way to explain how Assange and Murdoch became
two of the most influential global media figures in the past century.
Murdoch rose to power as an anti-establishment figure in the UK and
Assange has done the same on a global basis.

VS en Oekraïne spelen een smerig spel in Wit-Rusland

The
Saker heeft een analyse geschreven over de situatie in
Wit-Rusland (Belarus) n.a.v. de verkiezingen in dat land.

Volgens
de Saker is het duidelijk dat de CIA, de Oekraïense geheime dienst
SBU en de Wit-Russische geheime dienst KGB de boel manipuleren in
Wit-Rusland. “Honderden Russen’ zouden naar Wit-Rusland zijn
gestuurd om de boel de destabiliseren, informatie die van de
Oekraïense SBU kwam, deze mannen werden afgeschilderd als
terroristen, opstandelingen en leden van de Russische Wagner PMC
(Private Military Company)…… (het gaat overigens niet om ‘honderden Russen’ maar om een dertigtal)

Achteraf
blijkt het dat deze Russen (veiligheidsagenten) werden ingehuurd door
een veiligheidsbedrijf in Wit-Rusland en zouden op doorreis zijn
geweest naar landen als Soedan en Venezuela. Echter ‘ze mistten de
aansluitende vlucht’ en waren daarom genoodzaakt te overnachten in Minsk.
Diezelfde nacht overviel een zwaar bewapend ‘KGB’ team het hotel en
werden deze mannen gearresteerd, terwijl de Russen niet eens in het bezit waren van wapens….

Daarop
werd Rusland beschuldigd chaos en geweld te willen uitlokken in
Wit-Rusland, een vergelijking met het Maidan plein In de Oekraïense
hoofdstad Kiev, al werd de opstand in Oekraïne georganiseerd en
geregisseerd door de CIA…… Hillary Clinton destijds minister van
BuZa onder ‘vredesduif’ Obama trok daar zelfs 4 miljard dollar voor
uit en ook het geweld tegen demonstranten door sluipschutters, kwam
rechtstreeks uit de koker van de CIA…… (zo meer daarover)

De claim
dat Rusland de boel zou willen destabiliseren in Wit-Rusland is meer
dan belachelijk, daar Rusland wel uitkijkt om geweld aan te wenden in
Wit-Rusland. De informatie waarop deze leugen is gebaseerd kwam zoals gezegd van
de ‘uiterst betrouwbare’ Oekraïense SBU……. Bovendien zo voert de
Saker aan weet de Wit-Russische KGB alles wat er gebeurd in
Wit-Rusland en daarmee bedoelt hij letterlijk alles, ofwel de claim
dat deze Russen onrust wilden zaaien (en het bewind van
Loekasjenko omver zouden willen werpen) is grote nonsens, waar
de kennis van de KGB over alles wat zich afspeelt in Wit-Rusland alleen maar het gegeven versterkt dat Rusland geen geweld zou
gebruiken tegen het bewind in Minsk……

Lees het
uitvoerige relaas van de Saker en verbaas je (zoals ik) over de
machinaties van alweer het westen in Oost-Europa en die er volledig
op is gericht om van Wit-Rusland een zoveelste vazalstaat van de VS
(en de door haar militair geleide NAVO) te maken, zeker als je nagaat dat dit land strategisch
is gelegen….. Mocht het de VS lukken om van Wit-Rusland een vazalstaat als
te maken, zoals Oekraïne, heeft Rusland weer een deel van
haar grens waar de VS en haar NAVO-lidstaten met een leger op de
drempel van haar voordeur staan, zoals dit al het geval is met de
Baltische Staten, een deel van Oekraïne en ga nog maar even
door……. 

Ben het overigens niet eens met de Saker wat betreft de voormalige Oekraïense president Janoekovitsj. Deze president was wel democratisch verkozen en dat in door internationale waarnemers goedgekeurde verkiezingen….. En ja, Janoekovytsj had vooral veel aanhang in het oosten van Oekraïne en op De Krim (inclusief de oorspronkelijke bevolking van dat schiereiland). Waarschijnlijk doelt de Saker op het geweld dat werd gebruikt op het Maidanplein tegen demonstranten, terwijl dat zoals gezegd het resultaat was van VS manipulatie, zoals ook ‘de opstand’ daar werd georganiseerd door de CIA….. Het feit dat Janoekovytsj ‘pro-Russisch’ was had alles te maken met een voor Oekraïne heel lucratief vrijhandelsverdrag dat hij sloot met Rusland, terwijl een verdrag met de EU uiterst onvoordelig was voor Oekraïne……(iets waar je de westerse reguliere media en politici nooit over hoort!!)

Putin
and Russia are facing a very serious crisis in Belarus

By
The Saker

August 12, 2020
Information
Clearing House

–  Some of my longtime readers might have noticed that I rarely
(if ever!) wrote about Belarus or President Lukashenko.  As
always with the blog, there always is a reason for why I do mention
something and no less a reason why I do not mention something. 
In the case of Belarus or Lukashenko, my reason for not writing about
them was the exact same why I never wrote about the Ukraine before
2013: I was both uninspired and mostly disgusted with what I saw
taking place there.  And I did not feel strongly enough to write
about it.  That changed for the Ukraine with the Euromaidan.

Now the events in
Belarus force me to address this very unpleasant topic: Belarus is
facing a complex and dangerous crisis which might well result in a
major crisis inside Belarus and even a loss of sovereignty.  But
first, before we look into what just happened, let me begin by a
quick “mini-primer” about Belarus.  Here is what I think
everybody ought to know about this country:

  • Belarus
    is a completely artificial creation, even more artificial than the
    Ukraine.  At least in the Ukraine there were “westerners”
    (Galicians) who truly were not Russians at all (you can think of
    them as the “real Ukrainians” if you want) and whose hatred for
    everything Russian was every bit as rabid as the one of the
    Interahamwe
    of Rwanda.  There is no meaningful equivalent to the Banderites
    in Belarus.

  • Lukashnko
    was no more pro-Russian than Ianukovich.  This is crucial.
    Lukashenko was always pro-Lukashenko, not pro-Russia. Both the
    West and Lukashenko like to say that Belarus is the only real
    Russian ally. This is false.  Technically, Russia and
    Belarus are supranational union states.  However, it is true
    that Lukashenko tried to use the historical identity between the
    Russian and Belarusian people to demand that Russia help him out
    over and over and over again.  And until recently, Russia did.

  • As
    a country, Belarus is a quasi perfect police state with an extremely
    competent and feared KGB (yes, in Belarus they kept the name) which
    controls everything and everybody.  This is also crucial for
    reasons I will explain below.

  • As
    for the Kremlin, it always wanted to foster a reunification with
    Belarus but this process was never fully completed due to regular
    problems, and even crises, between Moscow and Minsk.  Russia
    poured immense sums of money to keep the Belarusian society from
    crashing.

  • Finally, Belarus
    is really a poor country with very limited resources.  For
    Russia, however, Belarus is a crucial military ally, one which plays
    a central role in Russian defense plans.  If the US and NATO
    will be successful in taking control of the country, this will be a
    major strategic threat for the Russian security.

These are just a few
pointers to compare and contrast Belarus with the Ukraine.

Now let me summarize
what just happened.

The Belarusian
authorities have declared that “hundreds” of men (supposedly
Russians) have been sent to Belarus with nefarious intentions. 
Lukashenko has since officially confirmed that he got this info from
the Ukrainian SBU. The men themselves were described as terrorists,
insurgents, members of the “Wagner” PMC, subversives, etc. and
their goals were described as killing Lukashenko, triggering a new
“maidan” in Belarus, create chaos, etc.

Frankly, the
Belarusian authorities never got their story straight and, frankly
again, this really makes no difference at all.  Here are two
things which I consider as indisputable:

  1. Russia
    would never even consider using force or illegal covert operations
    against Lukashenko and/or Belarus

  2. The Belarusian
    KGB knows everything of any importance taking place in Belarus

I would even argue
that argument #2 very much supports argument #1.

Whatever may be the
case, it
appeared
that a group of Russian security guards had been recruited by a
Belarusian firm to provide security in various countries (Sudan and
Venezuela is often named). They traveled to Belarus and planned
to fly out of Minsk for their final destinations. They were
delayed, apparently deliberately, then they missed their flight and
were told to go and rest at a hotel which happened to be located not
far from the residence of Lukashenko. In the middle of the
night, a KGB swat team moved in with flash-bang grenades and guns
drawn and brutally arrested everybody in spite of the fact that none
of the sleepy Russians offered any kind of resistance. No
weapons of any kind were found, no evidence of any covert plans
either, but the authorities declared that since these men were not
drinking or harassing waitresses and since they kept to themselves,
this was a clear proof that they were on a secret mission (I am not
joking!).

All of the above is
absolute and utter nonsense and we should not get distracted by the
minutia of this clearly fabricated pretext.

Here is what really
happened.

It now appears that
the Ukrainian secret service SBU (which does nothing without Uncle
Sam’s approval) mounted a complex covert operation to try to get
Belarus and Russia into a confrontation.  The entire operation,
including recruitment, purchase of airline tickets, etc was, in fact,
run from the Ukraine.  This was also the biggest mistake the
Ukies did: they did not hide their actions well enough and it took
the Russians special services less than 24 hours to figure out the
entire plan and leak
it to the media
(in Russian). The fine details are still
being ascertained, but the bottom line is this: the Ukrainians
pretended to be a security firm looking for men with proven combat
experience, especially those who fought in the Donbass against the
Ukronazi forces. Once recruited for some pretty typical guard
duties, these men were to be flown to Minsk where they would miss
their plane and be left waiting for the next opportunity to leave
Belarus.  At this point, the SBU seems to have contacted the
Belarusian KGB and “warned” them about Russian “mercenaries”
sent by Russia to kill Lukashenko or, at least, overthrow him.

It is also obvious now
that the SBU specially wanted Russians which had combat experience in
the Donbass to then ask Belarus to hand them over to Kiev.  Such
a demand was made almost immediately for most of the men in this
group.

So far so “good”
(not really, but you know what I mean), but here is when
the
Belarusians and Lukashenko himself started to act really strangely
.

The first logical step
for the Belarusian authorities should have been Lukashenko calling
Putin and asking for an explanation.  Alternatively, the head of
the Belarusian KGB could have called the head of the FSB and ask him
for clarifications.  But, instead of doing that, the Belarusian
KGB organized this ridiculous “seizure” of the Russian
“mercenaries” while the latter were asleep in their hotel and had
no idea whatsoever what was going on.

Next, instead of
working with the Russians, Lukashenko just gave a long interview to
one of the most talented and most morally repugnant Ukie journalist,
Dmitrii Gordon (who proudly proclaims that he is an SBU agent).

But then it only got
worse.

Lukashenko pounced on
the opportunity to, yet again, engage in his typically long-winded
rants against Russia.  He even went as far as to suggest that
Belarus might extradite some of these Russian men to the Ukraine
(which, as we now know, had provided a list of wanted men to the
Belarusian KGB).  From these actions it became immediately clear
to the Russians that Lukashenko was playing some kind of dirty game
in the last days before the Presidential election which took place on
Sunday.

So what could explain
the outright bizarre behavior of the Belarusians?

Reason one: Simply put
– Lukashenko’s popularity is declining as fast as the disposable
income of the Belarusians.

Reason two: The US is
clearly engaged in major strategic PSYOP to seize control of Belarus.

Reason three: The
Belarusian state in its current condition is simply not viable and
never was.

Let’s take these one
by one.

While nobody doubts
the outcome of any election in Belarus, it is also pretty
uncontroversial that most Belarusians do support Lukashenko. 
The point is not whether Lukashenko would win, but only by how much
he would win?  The elections yesterday yielded the lowest
possible and acceptable result for Lukashenko: 80%. This figure
is really meaningless, all it shows is how good the Lukashenko regime
is at winning elections. This time, however, there appear to be
more protests than in the past and, unlike what happened in the past,
the protests are not limited to Minsk and they have now spread to
other cities. So while Lukashenko was never at risk of
officially losing the election, a maidan-like protest remains a clear
concern for him.

Pompeo in Belarus: only a coincidence, of course

Pompeo in Belarus: only a coincidence, of course

But there is much more
to this story.

Following a meeting
between Lukashenko and Pompeo, the US will now open a (very big)
embassy in Minsk.  For years the West has been calling
Lukashenko all sorts of names, and now it is suddenly “all smiles”.

Is that really a
coincidence?

I very much doubt it.

But it even gets much
worse than that: the US is sending one of its most capable and
dangerous officials to subvert Belarus: I am referring to Jeffrey
Giauque
, a State Department intelligence official with a long
track of successive destabilization missions.

Listen to him
introduce himself to the Belarusian people:

In fact, it is now
pretty obvious that the entire provocation with the Russian
“terrorists” was carefully crafted and implemented by a joint
US-Ukrainian.  Had the Ukie SBU not been so sloppy with how they
organized it all (it took the FSB less than 24 hours to get a full
and accurate picture of what had happened) this plan might have
succeeded.  In fact, it still might.

But blaming it all on
the US, the SBU and Lukashenko really does not tell the full story.

The truth is that
Belarus is a completely artificial state, much more artificial even
than the Ukraine, and it is a state which simply cannot survive by
itself.  Neither can it hope to survive forever on Russian aid. 
And while looking
at the roots of Ukrainian nationalism
is important and
interesting, such an exercise is useless in the case of Belarus since
Belarusian nationalism is something truly a-historical and artificial
and which really has no foundation outside western ideological
dogmas.

While the Soviet
Union’s Marxist and generally russophobic ideology regime always
fostered the emergence of local nationalisms (and even created
previously non-existing “nationalities”), Belarusian nationalism
was something which never got much traction, which is hardly
surprising since any distinction between a Russian and a Belarusian
is much smaller than the differences amongst Russians who now live in
a very diverse and truly multi-ethnic society. Still, from the
point of view of the Party
Nomenklatura
and their western curators, not splitting away Belarus from Russia
while such countries as the Ukraine or Kazakhstan declared their
independence was unthinkable, thus a kind of weird compromise was
reached which was supposed to reassure both the people of Russia and
those of Belarus. Some agreements were made, others were
endlessly negotiated about (especially any energy deals!) and what
eventually resulted from this all is this weird and artificial
statelet of only 10 million people. As for its leader, he
declared that Belarus will follow a “multi-vector” foreign policy
which I would summarize as follows: pump as much money out of Russia
as possible, while at the same time seeking support from the
AngloZionist Empire.

[Sidebar: yes, I know,
Lukashenko is called the “last dictator of Europe” and he is not
popular in the West.  My point is that his lack of popularity is
to be credited to the West, and not to him. Over and over
again, Lukashenko tried to get support (meaning “money”) from the
West and now Pompeo & Co. have apparently decided to make “their”
son of a bitch “our” son of a bitch. What I mean by that
Lukashenko was the textbook case of the “our son of a bitch”
phenomenon, but not for the West – for Russia.  I furthermore
believe that like all “sons of bitches” (including “theirs”
and “ours”) – Lukashenko has now turned into a liability for
Russia.]

There is another very
worrisome development taking place now: in this entire business the
Belarusian KGB was either hopelessly incompetent (which it ain’t!)
or penetrated by western agents.  I find the second explanation
much more likely.

If we now assume that
the Belarusian KGB has been penetrated and compromised, then this is
very bad news for Lukashenko who might find himself in the same
situation as, say, Nicolae Ceaușescu, who was betrayed by his own
secret services (we can also remember how many US/Israeli agents were
in high position around Bashar Assad until the war in Syria forced
them to pick a side).

Frankly, while the CIA
and the rest of them are not very good at some things, they are truly
world-class masters in the art of corrupting officials and this might
have already happened in Belarus.

Right now, there are
riots in Minsk and in other cities and while in the capital the riot
police has things mostly under control, there have already been cases
of riot cops running for their lives to avoid being lynched by the
mob. As of the time of writing this (Monday 21:50 UTC) the
Belarusian KGB has declared that they are hunting down the worst
agitators and rioters, but considering how easy it has been for the
Ukrainian SBU to trick (or, worse, infiltrate) the Belarusian KGB, I
am not feeling very reassured by this verbiage: special services are
here to take care of dangerous problems, not to make big statements.

Right now, the latest
we hear from the Belarusian KGB is that they prevented
the assassination of the main opposition figure Svetlana
Tikhanovskaya
.  Heck, this might even be true, considering
that the (clueless) Tikhanovskaya would make a perfect “sacrificial
lamb” (and an terrible politician, should she ever be elected). But this also looks like some interests inside the Belarusian KGB are
courting Tikhanovskaya. Both versions are equally bad, I think.

How serious is all
this?

Very!

There are already
(false) rumors spread by Polish media about Lukashenko having fled
Belarus in his aircraft. This rumor is clearly designed to
create the (wrong) impression that Lukashenko is the next Ianukovich:
while I equally dislike both of these men, Lukashenko is a much
tougher man than Ianukovich ever was.

Furthermore, the kind
of media-campaign waged now by the western, Polish and Ukie media is
unprecedented in its magnitude and it will be very hard for the
regime to regain control of the country.

As for Lukashenko, he
now seems to have reversed his tune somehow: after accusing Russia of
treating Belarus not as a brother, but as a partner, now he says that
he spoke to Putin and got a 5 page document explaining it all, and
now he says that Russia and Belarus will be brothers after all.

Not very convincing,
to say the least.

Quite logically,
Lukashenko’s popularity in Russia, which was never that high to
begin with, is now rapidly degrading and many analysts who, in the
past, praised Lukashenko for his (supposedly) “firm” policy
towards the West are now openly voicing their disgust.  An
increasing number of Russians are now openly wondering with this
entire “supranational union state” concept.  As for
Lukashenko’s much vaunted “multi-vector policies” they look
like a banal case of trying to sit between two chairs.

It now appears pretty
obvious that the leaders of the Empire stopped hating Lukashenko only
long enough to give a short lived and semi-credible appearance of
benevolence; now they are already talking about reintroducing
sanctions on Belarus and on Lukashenko personally.

This is all extremely
dangerous for Russia for the following reasons:

  1. Lukashenko
    is an absolutely terrible “our son of a bitch” (they always
    are!) to back and his latest antics have shown the Kremlin that
    Lukashenko is very much part of the problem, not of the solution.

  2. If
    Lukashenko remains in power, it will be only thanks to his (mostly
    very effective) repressive apparatus which might be enough to
    silence the opposition, but not enough to make Lukashenko truly
    popular.

  3. Lukashenko
    himself is clearly both dishonest and unprincipled.  He does
    not care one bit about Russia (or Belarus for that matter), he cares
    only about himself.  In other words, as long as he remains in
    power, Belarus will be a major concern for Russia.

  4. If
    Lukashenko is overthrown, be it by a KGB plot or a Maidan-like
    violent insurrection, we can be pretty darn sure that whoever comes
    to power will be 1) vetted by the USA and 2) rabidly anti-Russian.

  5. Belarus does not
    have much of an economic significance for Russia, but for security
    and, even more so, military reasons Belarus is absolutely vital to
    the Russian security

This last point needs
to be further clarified. Not only is Belarus located in a
strategically crucial location, the Belarussian armed forces are very
well trained and equipped (no comparison to the Ukie forces) and they
represent a major military asset for the Kremlin.  

There are
also Russian forces deployed in Belarus*. Finally, the contacts
between the Belarusian and Russian military are very friendly and
very deep.To have NATO take over Belarus would truly be a
major problem for Russia (one that she can deal with, but it would
require a major re-thinking of the threat from the West).

So where do we go from
here?

It seems to me that if
Putin does “more of the same” Russia risks seriously losing
Belarus which, at a time when the Ukrainian Banderastan is falling
apart, would really be a crying shame.  Right now, Russia needs
to contain the “Ukrainian infection” while, at the same time,
preparing an after-Lukashenko (before it is too late). Obviously, Lukashenko will not gracefully resign, so Russia needs to
find a tool in her toolkit to force him to do so.

Personally, I have
always believed that fully reincorporating Belarus into Russia would
not only solve the “Belarusian problem” but that it would also
solve the “Lukashenko problem”.  I am confident that Russia
has more than enough influence and resources in Belarus to force a
change. Yes, that would be both difficult and dangerous, but
not doing so could result in a much worse outcome.  Russia needs
to act.  Quickly and resolutely.

Hongkongs vrijheid in gevaar, ofwel de vrijheid om te moorden en vernielen…..

Finian
Cunningham heeft een artikel geschreven over de westerse hysterie
rond Hongkong en de Chinese (‘communistische’) laars die de
vrijheid en democratie in die semi-autonome stad zou vermorzelen……

De boel
werd nog verder opgejut in het westen na de arrestatie van Jimmy Lai
eerder deze week, Lai is een media eigenaar, dus de reguliere
westerse media schreeuwden moord en brand over de aantasting van de
vrijheid van meningsuiting……….. Waarbij men de nieuwe Chinese
veiligheidswet hekelt die het mogelijk maakt om met gewelddadige protesten
hard aan te pakken en organisatoren op te pakken en in China (bedoeld
wordt buiten Hongkong) te berechten……

Lai is overigens al weer vrijgelaten, wat men in de VS en Groot-Brittannië uiteraard betreurt, immers nu kan men niet meer kankeren over het gebrek aan vrijheid van meningsuiting in Hongkong…….. Vergeet daarnaast niet dat Lai heeft deelgenomen aan een aantal van de uiterst gewelddadige protesten en het geweld in zijn kranten verdoezelde, of zelfs heeft gelogen dat extreem geweld niet door demonstranten werd gebruikt, maar werd uitgeoefend door de politie van Hongkong…..

Al een
paar jaar waren er met grote regelmaat protesten in Hongkong tegen de
Chinese overheid in Peking (of Bejing, wat je wilt), protesten die
vooral de laatste anderhalf jaar steeds gewelddadiger werden en
waarbij tegenstanders van die protesten o.a. in brand werden
gestoken, dan wel op andere manier zo mishandeld dat ze ofwel
overleden dan wel zwaar gewond in het ziekenhuis belandden……. Dit nog buiten
de enorme vernielingen die werden aangericht, niet alleen in en tegen
overheidsgebouwen, maar zelfs in winkels van mensen die tegen de
protesten waren…… Voor deze zaken is geen ander woord te bedenken dan (heftige) terreur, zaken die men verzweeg in de westerse media en politiek…..

Het is
duidelijk dat de VS zoals op zoveel andere plekken over de wereld
deze ‘pro democratische protesten’ organiseerde en financierde, uiteraard
met hulp van Groot-Brittannië, de voormalige kolonisator die deze
‘kolonie’ allesbehalve democratisch bestuurde (waar hetzelfde GB nu
plotsklaps de grote verdediger is van de democratie in
Hongkong…..)

Ciunningham merkt volkomen terecht op, dat wanneer dergelijke zwaar gewelddadige
protesten (zoals gezegd: gecombineerd met heftige terreur) zouden plaatsvinden in de VS of GB, men de leiders van deze protesten
al lang en breed achter de tralies had gezet………

Begreep
al lang niet waarom men blindelings de leugens geloofde van de
westerse media, terwijl toch ook hier de berichten op de sociale media doorsijpelden dat
de demonstranten in Hongkong bijzonder gewelddadig waren….. Je behoefde bepaald
geen Einstein te zijn om te voorspellen dat China uiteindelijk zou
ingrijpen, juist vanwege dat geweld!! (nogmaals: geweld voor een
groot deel tegen medeburgers die het niet met de demonstranten eens
waren*

Dat ingrijpen door de Chinese overheid was dan ook precies de bedoeling van de CIA en MI6 die de protesten in Hongkong hebben opgejut, immers China moet en zal de nieuwe grote vijand zijn van het westen en met het ingrijpen van de Chinese overheid in Hongkong kon men China nog meer demoniseren en haat zaaien tegen dat land…… 

Met het voorgaande kon men meteen de economie van China treffen door diverse zaken uit China botweg te verbieden en dat gebaseerd op leugens, neem het G5 netwerk van Huawei…… De reguliere westerse (massa-) media deden en doen maar al te graag braaf mee aan dit spel en hielden de ‘demonstranten’ in Hongkong de handen boven de uiterst gewelddadige kop, door zo min mogelijk of helemaal niets te melden van wat er echt gebeurde tijdens de protesten, het ongebreidelde geweld van demonstranten ook tegen medeburgers…..

Lees het
artikel van Cunningham, eerder gepubliceerd op Sputnik en door mij
overgenomen van Information Clearing House en zegt het voort, de
hoogste tijd dat de leugens over Hongkong worden doorgeprikt, leugens
zoals die ook in ons land de reguliere media halen (inclusief bij de
zogenaamde onafhankelijke NOS) en worden herhaald………

Hong
Kong: ‘Freedom’… to Subvert

By Finian
Cunningham

Hong Kong media tycoon and founder of the Apple Daily newspaper Jimmy Lai

August 10, 2020
Information
Clearing House

– The arrest of Hong Kong media mogul Jimmy Lai has sent Western news
outlets into a tizzy. We are told that “free speech” is under
attack by the Chinese authorities who are supposedly rolling back
democracy on the semiautonomous island city.

Lai was arrested in
the offices
of his media company and led away in handcuffs by
police officers. He is charged with “colluding with foreign
powers” in undermining Beijing’s sovereign authority.
Western media are claiming that his arrest is an example of the
alleged abuse of a new security law imposed on Hong Kong by the
Beijing central government. That law proscribes activities deemed to
be seditious or subversive.

For well over a year
now, Hong Kong has been in upheaval from protests against the central
government in Beijing. Those protests have involved massive violence
and destruction of public property, including the torching to
death of innocent bystanders.

Law and order in Hong
Kong is the sovereign responsibility of Beijing ever since Britain
handed back its former colony to China in 1997.

The street protests
under the guise of “pro-democracy” movement are but a
Trojan Horse for Britain and the United States to interfere in
China’s internal affairs and destabilize Beijing’s sovereignty.

Washington and London
have stepped up sanctions and reprimands against the Chinese
government in line with boosting the protests. The leaders of the
Hong Kong demonstrations have been hosted by American and British
officials. Some of them even live in exile in London. There can be no
clearer evidence that the United States and Britain are exploiting
Hong Kong as an entry point for weakening China, just as they
did in past centuries as imperial powers during the Opium Wars.

The geopolitical
tensions with China have become ever-sharper over the self-inflicted
disastrous mismanagement of the coronavirus pandemic in the US and
Britain. Those two countries are the world “leaders” in
terms of death toll from the disease. But there is also the bigger
background picture of Washington becoming increasingly hostile
towards Beijing (and Moscow) owing to what it calls “great
power competition”. In this context, Britain is serving as
Washington’s snarly lapdog for snapping at the heels of China (and
Russia).

So, how about Jimmy
Lai? The 71-year-old media magnate was born on the Chinese mainland.
His once wealthy family is reputed to
have lost their privileges when communist rule was established in
1949. Lai sounds like a perfect cipher for Western ambitions of
regime change in Beijing.

Western media, not
surprisingly, have lionized him
as a “leading pro-democracy advocate”. 

One of his
newspapers, Apple Daily, is described by
Associated Press as a “feisty pro-democracy tabloid that often
condemns China’s Communist Party government.”

That’s quite
astounding understatement. Lai has personally taken part in unlawful
demonstrations and his media outlets have acted brazenly as agents of
provocation, or sedition.

Earlier this year,
Apple Daily ran a front page appeal by its owner to US President
Donald Trump, beseeching the
American leader to intervene in Hong Kong to “save us” from
the Chinese government.

Last year just as
protests were erupting in Hong Kong, Lai was feted in
Washington by Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike
Pompeo. The agenda of their discussions included China’s security
affairs.

Now let’s
run this scenario again with a slight change of actors and location.
Imagine if a media mogul in Seattle was publishing newspaper
headlines every day condemning the federal government in Washington
and openly calling for repudiation of US sovereignty. Imagine if this
American media mogul flew to Beijing and was photographed holding
private discussions with top government officials about law and order
affairs.

There is more than a
fair chance, to say the least, that said media mogul would be
arrested by US federal officers and pilloried for being a traitor.

The double standards
and arrogance of the US and British media are staggering in
their coverage and commentary regarding Hong Kong. Hong Kong was
ruled from London as a colony for nearly 150 years without even a
token of democracy. Yet all of a sudden, we are led to believe,
Britain has discovered concern for “democracy” in Hong
Kong, while the Americans apparently cherish “freedom” in
the Chinese territory – freedom, that is, to subvert the
government in Beijing.

Helga Salemon ‘met zéééér wijze woorden’ over Loekasjenko en de verkiezingen in Wit-Rusland, met de nadruk op Rusland

Vanmorgen in MAX Weekend, de hysterisch kakelende Helga Salemon, zij was daar om te spreken, uh preken over de verkiezingen in Wit-Rusland (die afgelopen dinsdag van start gingen) en ‘de laatste dictator van Europa’ Aleksandr Loekasjenko.

Salemon was nog geen halve minuut aan het woord of de naam Rusland werd al 3 keer genoemd en niet als in de combinatie ‘Wit-Rusland…..’ Al vals kakelend liet Salemon weten dat ook Putin een dictator is….. (dit natuurlijk na de woorden: ‘de laatste dictator van Europa’ in de aankondiging, immers Rusland ligt deels ook in Europa, zoals zovelen vergeten en zo zou Europa dus 2 dictators hebben, waar Salemon maar niet sprak over de fascistische psychopaat Orbán in Hongarije, wat mij betreft zonder meer een dictator)

Blik Op NOSjournaal: Helga Salemon hitst hysterie tegen Rusland ...

ha! ha! ha! ha! En wat een ‘deskundige!!’

Dictators als Putin en Loekasjenko doen alle protesten tegen hen af als werk van de CIA, aldus Salemon…… ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Ja niet vreemd als de CIA zelf toegeeft in diverse landen ‘werkzaam’ te zijn tegen regeringen die de VS niet welgevallig zijn, of het nu om Iran of Hongkong dan wel Venezuela gaat (en alle landen waartegen de VS alleen deze eeuw al illegaal oorlog heeft gevoerd, waar de CIA dan natuurlijk voorafgaand aan die oorlogen het volk dan wel terroristen probeerde op te jutten tegen zo’n vijandig regime…..) Zie alleen al wat Wikileaks ‘daarover zegt’ en dat met officiële documenten van de VS……..

Bovendien doen de westerse landen onder de ‘bezielende leiding’ van de grootste terreurentiteit op aarde, de VS, precies hetzelfde: alles wat misgaat in het Midden-Oosten wordt in de schoenen van Iran geschoven, echter met één heel groot verschil: daarvoor zijn geen bewijzen te vinden!! Overigens geldt hetzelfde voor Rusland, alles wat misgaat in de westerse wereld, is de schuld van Rusland en ook hier weer: zonder enig bewijs, terwijl bijvoorbeeld de verkiezingen in de VS werden gemanipuleerd door de grote bedrijven, de plutocraten, plus de Democratische en Republikeinse Partij (die de meest gore trucs uithalen om elkaar te besmeuren)…. Oh, vergeet ik nog een heel belangrijke manipulator voor het Israël gezinde VS: Netanyahu die het VS volk voor de vorige verkiezingen maande op Trump te stemmen en dat in het congres nog eens herhaalde……. De Republikeinse partij is al lang bezig om het kiesrecht van een groot aantal VS burgers onderuit te halen en zorgt er altijd voor dat bijvoorbeeld arme gekleurde VS burgers niet of zeer moeilijk hun stem kunnen uitbrengen…….. Om over de rol van de media in de VS nog maar te zwijgen…….

Terug naar het leugenpraatje van Salemon, die uiteraard weer sprak over een Russische trollenfabriek, het is haar blijkbaar ontgaan dat men tegenwoordig spreekt over een trollenboerderij…. ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! 

             upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/...

                Loekasjenko in een vrolijke bui

Het meest grof was wel de vergelijking die Salemon maakte tussen Loekasjenko en de voormalige Oekraïense president Janoekovytsj…… Alsof deze oneerlijk de verkiezingen won, terwijl hij in een door internationale waarnemers als goed en eerlijk verlopen verkiezingen werd gekozen tot president, dat was dan ook de reden dat het Oekraïense volk en dat van Oost-Oekraïne in opstand kwamen toen deze door hen democratisch gekozen president werd afgezet door het neonazi geteisem van Porosjenko (in een coup die Hillary Clinton en de CIA organiseerden en regisseerden, dit met een bedrag van 4 miljard dollar, waarmee ook de huurmoordenaars werden betaald, die op het Maidanplein het vuur openden op demonstranten…..)

Leeghoofd en presentator Peter de Bie wilde ook nog even heel dapper een duit in de zak doen, dus stelde hij dat het Russische leger heeft gevochten in Oost-Oekraïne, iets dat Salemon uiteraard onmiddellijk beaamde….. ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Als het Russische leger had gevochten in Oost-Oekraïne, had dit leger dat hele gebied gezuiverd van neonazi’s en had meteen even heel Oekraïne kunnen zuiveren van dat tuig (dat neonazi’s het parlement controleren en met bataljons vochten en vechten in Oost-Oekraïne zijn hele bergen bewijs!!)

Terwijl Rusland Loekasjenko meer dan zat is, stelde Salemon dat Putin deze dictator wil behouden, waar meerdere echte deskundigen zeggen dat men in Moskou van Loekasjenko af wil…… Zelfs de Russische media laten weten dat Loekasjenko weg moet daar hij ‘zijn’ volk al decennia tekort doet….

Salemon begon nog wat te pruttelen over muziekfestivals die Loekasjenko zou hebben georganiseerd, maar dat kon ik niet afluisteren, daar ik in een enorme lachstuip was beland, wat een koekwaus!!!

PS: eerder stelde Salemon dat Rusland het Nederlandse referendum tegen het associatieverdrag met Oekraïne zou hebben gemanipuleerd, geen nanometer bewijs, terwijl van het tegenovergestelde alweer meer dan voldoende bewijs is…. Neem alleen al de oproep van de Porosjenko junta aan het Nederlandse volk voor dit verdrag te stemmen en de ‘jonge frisse’ Oekraïners die hier de boel moesten klaarstomen voor ‘een ja….’ Dit nog buiten de bezwerende leugens van de NAVO en rechtse denktanks in ons land als het Haags Centrum voor Strategische Studies (HCSS) en Clingendael, om toch vooral voor dit verdrag te stemmen……

De Obama administratie speelde een vuile rol in ‘Russiagate’: de reguliere (massa-) media zijn niet geïnteresseerd

Op
het vrijgeven van eerder geheime documenten blijkt dat de Obama
administratie samen met de FBI een wel heel smerige rol hebben
gespeeld in Russiagate,
echter
de belangstelling daarvoor van de reguliere (massa-) media is nul komma
nada……

Dezelfde
media die nog steeds volhouden dat Rusland de verkiezingen in de VS
heeft gemanipuleerd ten gunste van Trump, zonder dat daar enig
bewijs voor kan worden geleverd en het al lang duidelijk is dat er
geen sprake was van ‘ Russiagate…..’ Dit geldt overigens voor alle
reguliere westerse media, zoals die in ons land, hoe bestaat het dat
deze media, met de vuilbek vol van ‘fake news’ (nepnieuws), ondanks
alle bewijs van het tegendeel, vol blijven houden dat er wel degelijk
sprake is van een Russische manipulatie van de verkiezingen in de VS……  Dit aangevuld met dezelfde ongefundeerde beschuldigingen t.a.v. het
Brexit referendum, het Catalaanse onafhankelijkheidsreferendum en ga
nog maar even door, D66 mafketel en godbetert minister Ollongren beweert zelfs dat de Russen hier zo ongeveer allles manipuleren….. ha! ha! ha! ha! Zie daarvoor de links onder dit bericht.

Ik
heb op deze plak al veel geschreven over de valse beschuldigingen aan
het adres van Rusland en in feite Trump (hoewel ik de pest heb aan de
psychopathische fascist), je zou denken dat je alles wel gehad hebt,
echter de desinteresse van de reguliere media, laat me weer
verbijsterd achter…. Ach het zoveelste bewijs dat de media in
handen zijn van plutocraten die de huidige status quo beschermen, een
status quo waarin men Rusland en China als vijanden ziet, immers dat
is goed voor het militair-industrieel complex, waar de eigenaren van
die media grootaandeelhouders zijn van de wapenindustrie en ja die
industrie heeft continu een vijand nodig om de winsten te blijven
opvoeren…….

De VS is de grootste terreurentiteit op onze kleine planeet en heeft sinds het eind van WOII al
meer dan 22,5 miljoen mensen vermoord in illegale oorlogen, het
organiseren van staatsgrepen en middels het vermoorden van verdachten
middels drones, waarbij meer dan 90% van de slachtoffers niet eens
werd verdacht…….Alleen deze eeuw is de VS al 4 illegale oorlogen begonnen en heeft het illegale oorlogen elders militair gesteund en
geregisseerd, daarbij zijn meer dan 2,5 miljoen mensen vermoord en dat is een cijfer van een paar jaar geleden…..

Het
voorgaande werd verricht met de regelmatige hulp van andere NAVO-lidstaten,
hielenlikkers van de VS zoals Nederland, mede v
erantwoordelijk voor
de enorme massamoorden die uit naam van ‘de vrijheid en het brengen van democratie’ worden begaan
en dat veelal juist tegen democratisch gekozen regeringen…… De VS
en haar hielenlikkers beweren democratie en stabiliteit te brengen,
echter met de westerse terreur worden er bloedige dictators
geparachuteerd die schijt hebben aan democratie, vrijheid van
meningsuiting en alle andere zogenaamd in het westen gekoesterde
burgerrechten, waarvoor niet alleen enorme slachtingen worden
aangericht, maar waar de overlevenden ook nog eens in diepe ellende
en chaos worden gestort…….. Stabiliteit door grootschalige VS terreur? ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!

Terug naar Obama, de Nobelprijs voor de Vrede winnaar, die niet alleen illegale oorlogen begon, maar ook heeft meegholpen aan de Russiagate leugen. Denk aan het voorgaande en het volgende artikel als je weer de reguliere fake
news media hoort blaten over Rusland en China als waren het staten die
bezig zijn met de ene na de andere illegale oorlog en de boel her en der menipuleren, terwijl men de VS
prijst als grote democratie brenger, waar de dagelijkse waarheid laat
zien dat de VS de grootste terreurentiteit op aarde is en illegaal ingrijpt waar het maar wil, of dat nu is via het manipuleren van verkiezingen elders of het organiseren van een coup, dan wel door onvervalste grootschalige terreur als in illegale oorlogen…… Voor het
maken van winst steunt de VS zelfs de genocide in Jemen, niet alleen
middels enorme wapenexporten voor de daders, de Saoedische terreurcoalitie, maar ook door deelname aan die
genocide……

More
willful blindness by the media on spying by Obama administration

By
Jonathan Turley 

More willful blindness by the media on spying by Obama ... 

July 27, 2020
Information
Clearing House
” (ICH)
The
Washington press corps seems engaged in a collective demonstration of
the legal concept of willful blindness, or deliberately ignoring the
facts, following the release of yet another declassified document
which directly refutes prior statements about the investigation into
Russia collusion. The document shows that FBI officials used a
national security briefing of then candidate Donald
Trump
and his top aides to gather possible evidence for Crossfire
Hurricane, its code name for the Russia investigation.

It
is astonishing that the media refuses to see what is one of the
biggest stories in decades. 

The Obama administration targeted the
campaign of the opposing party based on false evidence. The media
covered Obama administration officials ridiculing the suggestions of
spying on the Trump campaign and of improper conduct with the Russia
investigation. When Attorney General William Barr told the Senate
last year that he believed spying did occur, he was lambasted in the
media, including by James Comey and others involved in that
investigation. The mocking “wow” response of the fired FBI
director received extensive coverage.

The
new document shows that, in summer 2016, FBI agent Joe Pientka
briefed Trump campaign advisers Michael Flynn and Chris Christie over
national security issues, standard practice ahead of the election. It
had a discussion of Russian interference. But this was different. The
document detailing the questions asked by Trump and his aides and
their reactions was filed several days after that meeting under
Crossfire Hurricane and Crossfire Razor, the FBI investigation of
Flynn. The two FBI officials listed who approved the report are Kevin
Clinesmith and Peter Strzok.

Clinesmith
is the former FBI lawyer responsible for the FISA surveillance
conducted on members of the Trump campaign. He opposed Trump and sent
an email after the election declaring “viva the resistance.” He
is now under review for possible criminal charges for altering a FISA
court filing. The FBI used Trump adviser Carter Page as the basis for
the original FISA application, due to his contacts with Russians.
After that surveillance was approved, however, federal officials
discredited the collusion allegations and noted that Page was a CIA
asset. Clinesmith had allegedly changed the information to state that
Page was not working for the CIA.

Strzok
is the FBI agent whose violation of FBI rules led Justice Department
officials to refer him for possible criminal charges. Strzok did not
hide his intense loathing of Trump and famously referenced an
“insurance policy” if Trump were to win the election. After FBI
officials concluded there was no evidence of any crime by Flynn at
the end of 2016, Strzok prevented the closing of the investigation as
FBI officials searched for any crime that might be used to charge the
incoming national security adviser.

Documents
show Comey briefed President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden on
the investigation shortly before the inauguration of Trump. When
Comey admitted the communications between Flynn and Russian officials
appeared legitimate, Biden reportedly suggested using the Logan Act,
a law widely seen as unconstitutional and never been used to
successfully convict a single person, as an alternative charge
against Flynn. The memo contradicts eventual claims by Biden that he
did not know about the Flynn investigation. Let us detail some proven
but mostly unseen facts.

First,
the Russia collusion allegations were based in large part on
the dossier funded by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic
National Committee (DNC). The Clinton campaign repeatedly denied paying for
the dossier until after the election, when it was confronted with
irrefutable evidence that the money had been buried among legal
expenditures. As New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman wrote,
“Folks involved in funding this lied about it and with sanctimony
for a year.”

Second,
FBI agents had warned that dossier author Christopher Steele may have
been used by Russian intelligence to plant false information to
disrupt the election. His source for the most serious allegations
claims that Steele misrepresented what he had said and that it was
little more than rumors that were recast by Steele as reliable
intelligence.

Third,
the Obama administration had been told that the basis for the FISA
application was dubious and likely false. Yet it continued the
investigation, and then someone leaked its existence to the media.
Another declassified document shows that, after the New York Times
ran a leaked story on the investigation, even Strzok had balked at
the account as misleading and inaccurate. His early 2017 memo
affirmed that there was no evidence of any individuals in contact
with Russians. This information came as the collusion stories were
turning into a frenzy that would last years.

Fourth,
the investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller and inspectors
general found no evidence of collusion or knowing contact between the
Trump campaign and Russian officials. What inspectors general did
find were false statements or possible criminal conduct by Comey and
others. While unable to say it was the reason for their decisions,
they also found statements of animus against Trump and his campaign
by the FBI officials who were leading the investigation. Former
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein testified he never would have
approved renewal of the FISA surveillance and encouraged further
investigation into such bias.

Finally,
Obama and Biden were aware of the investigation, as were the
administration officials who publicly ridiculed Trump when he said
there was spying on his campaign. Others, like House Intelligence
Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, declared they had evidence of
collusion but never produced it. Countless reporters, columnists, and
analysts still continue to deride, as writer Max Boot said it, the
spinning of “absurd conspiracy theories” about how the FBI
“supposedly spied on the Trump campaign.”

Willful
blindness has its advantages. The media covered the original leak and
the collusion narrative, despite mounting evidence that it was false.
They filled hours of cable news shows and pages of print with a
collusion story discredited by the FBI. Virtually none of these
journalists or experts have acknowledged that the collusion leaks
were proven false, let alone pursue the troubling implications of
national security powers being used to target the political opponents
of an administration. But in Washington, success often depends not on
what you see but what you can unsee.
