FBI beweert dat Lesin, de oprichter van RT, zichzelf heeft doodgeslagen……. ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!

Dat de gehieme diensten van de VS vooral heel vaak liegen als ze iets beweren is al heel lang bekend, maar de FBI maakt ‘t nu wel helemaal bont……..

De oprichter van RT (Russia Today) en voormalig media adviseur van de Russische regering, Mikhail Lesin, werd in november 2015 dood gevonden in zijn hotelkamer te Washington (DC). De autoriteiten hielden het op een hartaanval, een conclusie die haaks stond op de werkelijkheid, gezien het autopsie rapport dat maanden later verscheen……

Zo had Lesin wonden aan het hoofd en het lichaam die waren toegebracht met een stomp voorwerp…….

De FBI maakte hier later het verhaal van dat Lesin zichzelf had dood geslagen, o.a. door zich herhaaldelijk tegen de grond te werpen, dit onder invloed van ethanol, ofwel alcohol…….. Je snapt ‘t al: kul van groot kaliber! De VS sloot in 2016 het dossier uiteindelijk met de conclusie dat Lesin op een natuurlijke manier aan z’n einde was gekomen……ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Kortom: alweer is ook de FBI verantwoordelijk voor ‘fake news….’

‘Toevallig’ kwamen in de tijd van Lesins dood en  daarna meerdere Russische hoogwaardigheidsbekleders e.d. ‘op een vreemde manier’ aan hun einde……… (zie de links onder het ZeroHedge artikel)

Gezien de agressie van de geheime diensten in de VS, is het de vraag hoe lang het zal duren voordat deze moorden worden toegeschreven aan die geheime diensten, dan wel dat ze door deze diensten werden geïnitieerd……..

FBI
Releases Docs Claiming RT Founder Beat Himself To Death In His Hotel
Room

by Tyler
Durden

Mon,
01/29/2018 – 04:22

Authored
by Matt Agorist via SHTFplan.com,

The
FBI just released the results of their investigation claiming that
the media mogul and found of RT 
killed
himself by repeatedly smashing his head and upper body into the
ground.

In
November 2015, 
the
Free Thought Project 
reported that
Mikhail Lesin, the former head of media affairs for the Russian
government, and the
 founder
of Russia Today (RT), was found dead in the hotel room that he was
staying at in Washington DC
.

Originally, authorities
announced that Lesin died from a heart attack.

However,
the results of his autopsy released months later indicated a far more
sinister cause of death and the heavily redacted FBI documents that
were just released add to that story.

The
documents, detailing the FBI investigation into Lesin’s death 
were
just released
 Saturday
morning in spite of the investigation ending in October of 2016.

In
spite of the original cause of death noted as a heart attack, a few
months later, the District of Colombia’s Office of the Chief
Medical Examiner (OCME) and Metropolitan Police Department said that
“blunt force injuries of the neck, torso, upper extremities and
lower extremities” contributed to Lesin’s death. 
The
Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) has released the cause
and manner of death for Mikhail Lesin… Cause of Death: blunt force
injuries of the head,”
 the
statement said.

Now,
FBI investigators have released the results of their investigation
claiming that the blunt force trauma all over his body was
self-inflicted.

Mr.
Lesin died as a result of blunt for injuries to his head, with
contributing causes being blunt force injuries of the neck, torso,
upper extremities, and lower extremities, which were induced by
falls, with acute ethanol intoxication,”
 the
report states.

In
other words, the FBI is claiming that Lesin got so drunk that he
repeatedly and violently fell on things until he killed himself.

To
show just how much information the FBI is willing to release on these
findings, here is the version of the amended autopsy report they
released in the report.

Essentially,
all other information in regards to the findings of Lesin’s death
has been scrubbed from the documents as the remaining pages are
almost entirely redacted.

Not
only did the US remain tight-lipped on the investigation but they
also refused to allow Russian authorities to cooperate.

As
RT reports, back in 2016, months before the closing of the case,
Moscow said it was expecting Washington to explain why Russia had not
received any details from the probe into Lesin’s death, despite
repeated requests.

We
are awaiting the related clarifications from Washington and the
official data on the progress of the investigation,”
 Foreign
Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova wrote in a Facebook post at that
time. She added that if the media reports citing the forensic
statement are confirmed,
 Russia
will send an official request to the US
 “for
international legal assistance.”

In
October 2016, the US authorities announced that Lesin died of natural
causes and closed the case. 
Based
on the evidence, including video footage and witness interviews, Mr.
Lesin entered his hotel room on the morning of Wednesday, Nov. 4,
2015, 
after
days of excessive consumption of alcohol and sustained the injuries
that resulted in his death while alone in his hotel room,
 the
US attorney for the District of Columbia 
said in
a statement.

Lesin’s
death came at a time where he was surrounded by controversy,
especially in the US. 
RT,
the Russian-based news source that Lesin founded has become very
controversial in the US—ostensibly for the fake Russiagate
scandal—but in reality, for challenging the western narrative of
foreign policy and privacy issues. Some US politicians have suggested
that RT be banned in the US for “spreading propaganda,” while
others have been blatant enough to attack Lesin personally.

According
to the 
NY
Times,
 until
late 2014 Lesin ran the media wing of the state’s energy
giant, 
Gazprom,
before stepping down or, more likely, being forced out. He ended up
in the United States, where he and his family owned properties in Los
Angeles said to be worth far more than the salary of the former
government minister.

Some
US Senators, including Roger Wicker of Mississippi, had called for
the Department of Justice to open an investigation into Lesin’s
finances prior to his death.

Wicker
was concerned that Lesin made too much money, something that was
really none of his business.

That
a Russian public servant could have amassed the considerable funds
required to acquire and maintain these assets in Europe and the
United States raises serious questions,”
 Wicker
said.

The
original announcement of the heart attack back in November 2015
makes this case all the more ominous considering the fact that the
medical examiner’s office also said Lesin’s body had blunt force
trauma to the neck, torso, arms and legs too. How did
authorities overlook his wounds?

As
RT reports, Lesin was considered one of the most influential
figures in the Russian media landscape.
 A
graduate of Moscow State University with a degree in Civil
Engineering, he served as Minister of Press and Mass Media from 1999
to 2004. He was also a presidential media adviser from 2004 to 2009.
Lesin became chief executive officer at Garprom-Media in 2013 and
remained in the position until early 2015.

Fake News van CNN: ‘American Sniper gedood in Syrie….’ ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!

CNN Turkije bracht afgelopen vrijdag het bericht dat bij de illegale aanval van Turkije op Syrisch grondgebied 2 VS militairen waren omgekomen. Volgens het Pentagon was dit nieuws vals en dus niet waar (waar vermeld dient te worden dat het Pentagon nogal eens liegt als het om slachtoffers gaat….)

CNN boogt erop nooit ‘fake news’ (of: ‘nepnieuws’) te brengen en stelt te doen aan ‘top notch investigative journalism around the globe‘, met het voorgaande nieuws is dus ook in dit geval (ten overvloede) gehakt gemaakt van deze stelling (over de zogenaamde top onderzoeksjournalistiek van CNN…….)

Nog vreemder in het CNN nieuwsbericht was de mededeling dat één van ‘de gesneefde militairen’ werd aangeduid als Chris Kyle, een psychopathische moordenaar die 160 mensen bewezen het leven uit hielp en nog eens 95 niet bevestigde moorden op z’n naam had. Echter deze Kyle werd in 2013 op een schietbaan in de VS vermoord door een getraumatiseerde Irak veteraan (die schandalig genoeg tot levenslang werd veroordeeld…..).

Beste bezoeker, dat was het nog niet: CNN plaatste bij het artikel een foto van de acteur die in ‘American Sniper’ de hoofdrol speelt: Bradley Cooper……… ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Het boek waarop deze film is gebaseerd, werd geschreven door Chris Kyle…….

De Koerden hebben CNN in de val gelokt met dit bericht, dat zoals blijkt ‘niet echt’ journalistiek is onderzocht door ‘deze bestrijders van fake news……’

CNN Turk Reports ‘American Sniper’ Star Killed in Syria

January 28, 2018 at 6:21 am

Written by Tyler Durden

(ZHE) — On Friday a Middle East regional CNN network reported that American Sniper Chris Kyle had been killed while embedded with US-backed Kurdish forces in Syria by invading Turkish troops, and the story went viral. Or maybe they meant to say actor Bradley Cooper? 

Though priding itself for its brand recognition in setting the agenda for accurate mainstream news and top notch investigative journalism around the globe, CNN has once again embarrassed itself as its sister network, CNN Turk, fell for what should have been an easy to recognize prank. At the end of this week false reports that two US Special Forces members had been killed in Syria while embedded with American-backed Kurdish units fighting in the northwest Aleppo district of Afrin in Syria spread wildly through major Turkish media after CNN Turk reported it.

The only problem is that the identified US soldier purported to be featured in a photo circulating on social media which is the basis of CNN Turk’s story was actually none other than “American Sniper” actor Bradley Cooper. That’s right, as one classic and sadly all too literally serious headline from Newsweek reads – CNN Turkey Reports ‘American Sniper’ Bradley Cooper Killed In Syria, U.S. Military Denies.

And yes, the Pentagon was forced to issue a quick and urgent denial of the story through US Coalition spokesman Colonel Ryan Dillon, who said Friday: “Reports of two US-Coalition members killed in Afrin are FALSE. Completely UNTRUE.”


OIR Spokesman

@OIRSpox

Reports of two US-Coalition members killed in Afrin are FALSE. Completely UNTRUE. @CJTFOIR efforts focused on supporting our SDF partners aggressively hunt remaining ISIS pockets east of Euphrates near Abu Kamal.

CNN Turkey, which is owned by the Turner Broadcasting System Europe and Doğan Media Group, was fooled into believing the satirical report which appears to have started among pro-Kurdish social media.

However, the prank should have been easy to recognize considering all early social media reports were based on a photograph said to be a US Special Forces member named Eddie Bragdon who went by the Kurdish nom de guerre “Zana Rizgar”. But the photograph was so obviously a shot from the 2014 film, American Sniper, based on the life of the late Navy SEAL veteran Chris Kyle.

According to Newsweek, the fake story began circulating when a pro-YPG account called “Bird Person” tweeted the following on Thursday:


Bird Person@horointuccari

Eski Amerikan özel kuvvetleri askeri YPG’li Zana Rizgar kod adlı Eddie Bragdon Efrîn Buseya dağında yaşanan çatışma esnasında yaşamını yitirdi yolun yolumuza ışık tutacak Şehid Namirin

Newsweek: “In what’s believed to be the original claim, an account supportive of the Kurdish YPG reported the death of U.S. Special Forces member Eddie Bragdon, a.k.a. Zana Rizgar, instead of the actual individual pictured: U.S. actor Bradley Cooper in the film ‘American Sniper.’ The user later claimed that the post was intended to be satirical and criticized Turkish media for picking it up literally.”

Amidst the propaganda war now raging between Turkish and pro-Kurdish media as Turkey continues its ‘Operation Olive Branch’ inside northwest Syria, both Turkish nationalists – who celebrated the supposed “deaths” of US troops embedded with Syrian Kurds – and Kurdish sources, promoted the story on social media.

Yet from the moment the story spread social media users were quick to point out the obvious origins of the photo. But not before CNN Turk featured the story.

The story of “Eddie Bragdon’s” death was featured briefly on CNNTurk.com but was quickly taken down:

And here’s the story tweeted out by CNN Turk’s verified account: The headline reads Former US Special Forces military was killed in the ranks of the YPG.”


It appears a number of Turkish military analysts also promoted the story, which also gave it momentum before it landed on CNN Turk’s homepage.

Gilgo@PapaGilgo

Listen, this is hilarious.

A Kurdish tweep intentionality makes up a story of “ex-American SOF, YPG fighter killed in Afrin” to troll Turkish nationalists. It makes it all the way to Turkish CNN! Top notch investigative journalism!

Many of the dozens of articles which were subsequently written by Turkish and regional outlets based on the CNN reporting have now since taken offline.

The initial pro-Kurdish social media account from which the fake news originated is now celebrating the fact that it successfully trolled CNN and other mainstream outlets, again tweeting the original Bradley Cooper photo but now with the caption (in Turkish), “Smile for the camera!”

We give it a 10 for some top notch trolling. For CNN it’s about par for the course.

Mike
Flynn, voormalig adviseur van Trump heeft toegegeven dat hij heeft
gelogen tegen de FBI, een dienst die zelf één van de meest leugenachtige organen is van de vele VS inlichtingendiensten (ofwel geheime diensten).

Nog
steeds wordt er ophef gemaakt over contacten met bepaalde Russen,
terwijl dat de normaalste zaak van de wereld is voor een aankomende
administratie in de VS! Zo hebben de leden van een aankomende VS regering altijd contacten met vertegenwoordigers en leden van de Israëlische regering, die haar belangen wil
veilig stellen bij de komende VS regering…….

In
de lobby voor deze belangen, worden niet zelden kapitalen
uitgegeven om gunsten te kopen……

Dat
is nu precies het vreemde aan deze zaak: waarom maakt men zich wel
druk om contacten met bijvoorbeeld de Russische ambassadeur, maar
niet als dit een Israëlische ambassadeur en leden van het
Israëlische kabinet betreft……

Nog
vreemder: Netanyahu, de Palestijnen slachter en premier van de
gestolen staat Palestina, gaat wel even wat verder met het
beïnvloeden van het VS publiek, zoals hij zelfs bij een bezoek in 2015 aan de VS durfde te
doen. Daar las hij NB in het Congres de regering Obama de les over de nucleaire deal met Iran, zonder dat daar onmiddellijk een onderzoek naar werd gestart, een onderzoek naar de ongeoorloofde beïnvloeding van het VS volk………. 

Noch wordt er ooit een onderzoek ingesteld naar de vele
achterbakse deals die met de fascistische apartheidsstaat Israël werden en worden gemaakt, laat staan dat men onderzoek doet naar ongeoorloofde
beïnvloeding van VS burgers en dat NB op de nationale
televisie zenders in de VS (waar de gebeurtenissen in het Congres werden uitgezonden tijdens het voornoemde bezoek van Netanyahu aan de VS….)……..

Overigens zijn dergelijke contacten ook heel normaal als het om de reli-fascistische dictatuur Saoedi-Arabië gaat…….

Wel
laat de bekentenis van Flynn nog eens zien, hoever lobby kan reiken (en rieken), een zaak die
echt niet alleen voor de VS is weggelegd, reken maar dat de
bedrijfslobbyisten in Den Haag overuren en enorme kosten hebben

Flynn
Charged With Lying to FBI, Pleads Guilty

December
1, 2017 at 7:36 am

Written
by 
Tyler
Durden

(ZHE) — Special
Counsel Robert Mueller has charged former Trump national security
adviser Michael Flynn with “willfully and knowingly” making
“false, fictitious and fraudulent statements” to the FBI
regarding conversations with Russia’s ambassador. Flynn, in turn,
is expected to plead guilty in a DC court to making false statements
to FBI agents in January 2017, according to the court filing
presented below. The plea hearing is set for 10:30 am ET.

  • COURT
    FILING SAYS FLYNN FALSELY STATED HE DID NOT ASK RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR
    TO REFRAIN FROM ESCALATING SITUATION AFTER U.S. HAD IMPOSED
    SANCTIONS ON RUSSIA

  • COURT
    FILING SAYS FLYNN FALSELY STATED HE DID NOT RECALL THAT RUSSIAN
    AMBASSADOR TOLD HIM RUSSIA HAD CHOSEN TO MODERATE ITS RESPONSE TO
    U.S. SANCTIONS AS A RESULT OF HIS REQUEST

  • COURT
    FILING SAYS FLYNN FALSELY STATED THAT HE DID NOT ASK RUSSIAN
    AMBASSADOR TO DELAY VOTE ON PENDING UN SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION
    AND THAT AMBASSADOR NEVER DESCRIBED RUSSIA’S RESPONSE TO HIS
    REQUEST

Michael
Flynn is now the second person involved with the Trump campaign to
admit wrongdoing in Mueller’s probe into allegations of collusion
between the Trump campaign and Russia; he is however the first Trump
administration official charged in relation to Mueller’s probe into
Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Former
Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and aide Rick Gates were
charged with money laundering from alleged crimes that took place
before they worked with Trump. A campaign adviser, George
Papadopoulos, pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI earlier this year
over contacts with officials connected to the Russian government.

After
he left the administration, Flynn filed a foreign registration form
showing that he hadn’t disclosed multiple contacts and payments
from foreign entities while serving as a campaign adviser to Trump
starting in February 2016. The company received $530,000 from a Dutch
company working on behalf of Turkey’s government, to lobby the U.S.
for extradition of an exiled cleric who has opposed President Recep
Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey.

He’s
also disclosed payments from the Russian news site RT, described in
an unclassified U.S. intelligence report as “the Kremlin’s
principal international propaganda outlet.”

The
news about Flynn comes a day after CNN reported that Jared Kushner
had met earlier this month with Mueller’s team as part of the
investigation into Russia’s meddling in the election, according to
two people familiar with the meeting.

The
question is whether as part of the plea Flynn will ‘reveal’
something about Trump, because if 6 months after the Mueller probe
the best he could get out of Flynn is making a “false statement”
about meeting the Russian ambassador, then Trump has nothing to be
worried about.

Susan Sarandon (activist en acteur): Hillary Clinton was als presidentskandidaat gevaarlijker dan Trump………

Voor de uiteindelijke VS presidentsverkiezingen vorig jaar, voorspelden velen dat het buitenlandbeleid onder Hillary Clinton een heel stuk agressiever zou zijn dan onder Trump, deze richtte zich tijdens de campagne juist meer op het binnenland en stelde dat de VS zich in het buitenland niet in nieuwe ‘avonturen’ zou storten en dat hij de militairen naar huis zou halen (nadat hij IS van de aardbodem zou hebben gebombardeerd..)……..

Intussen weten we dat door ongegronde klachten, als zou Trump de VS verkiezingen hebben gewonnen door Russische manipulaties, Trump een groot deel van het buitenlandbeleid overlaat aan de geheime diensten CIA en NSA….. Voorts heeft Trump het Pentagon een veel zelfstandiger rol gegeven wat betreft inzet van militairen en materieel in het buitenland (ook heeft hij dagelijks 3 topmilitairen naast zich in het Witte Huis..)… M.a.w. Trump heeft onder druk van de geheime diensten en het militair-industrieel complex bakzeil gehaald……

Tyler Durden plaatste afgelopen dinsdag op Zero Hedge een artikel over deze zaak na publicatie van een interview met Susan Sarandon, acteur, plus milieu en anti-oorlog activist, afgelopen zondag in The Guardian.

Sarandon keerde zich tegen haar voormalige vriendin Clinton* en steunde kandidaat Jill Stein van de Green Party. Volgens Durden werd Sarandon na het verlies van Clinton bedreigd door ‘linkse democraten’, zelfs met verkrachting en de dood….. Dat men in de VS niet weet wat echt ‘links’ inhoud is al lang bekend, maar het valt me van Durden wel tegen, dat hij de psychopaten die achter Clinton stonden en staan ‘links’ noemt…… Zelfs de andere democratische kandidaat, Bernie Sanders, heeft maar heel weinig met links te maken, al zou zijn beleid een stuk beter hebben uitgepakt voor de grote onderlaag in de VS, dan dat van Clinton of het twitterende beest Trump……

Sarandon zou gezegd hebben dat Clinton gevaarlijker is dan Trump, iets dat volgens Sarandon niet waar is, maar waar ze geen bezwaar tegen heeft (dus ze staat pal achter deze ‘voor haar verzonnen uitspraak’)

Susan
Sarandon: Hillary Clinton Would’ve Been “More Dangerous”
Than Trump

by Tyler
Durden

Nov
28, 2017 10:52 AM

In
an interview with the 
Guardian published
Sunday night, actress Susan Sarandon – a noted anti-war and climate
progressive – described her former friend Hillary Clinton as “very
dangerous” in response to an interviewer’s question about why she
supported Green Party candidate Jill Stein.

Furthermore,
Sarandon, who has been the subject of vicious and persistent attacks
by leftists for supporting a third-party candidate that many blame,
wrongly, for throwing the election to Trump. She said she had to
change her phone number because – get this – angry Clinton
supporters left a torrent of death and rape threats on her voicemail.

Sarandon,
who fist became involved in activism as a young woman when she became
an early and vocal proponent of the anti-War movement in the late
1960s and early 1970s, even suggested that Clinton might’ve been
“more dangerous” than Trump.

Did
she really say that Hillary was more dangerous than Trump?

Not
exactly, but I don’t mind that quote,” she says.
 “I
did think she was very, very dangerous. We would still be fracking,
we would be at war [if she was president]. It wouldn’t be much
smoother. Look what happened under Obama that we didn’t notice.”

Though
she supported Clinton’s first bid for the senate in 2001, Sarandon
said her support for Clinton evaporated when the then-senator voted
in favor of the war in Iraq*.

It
is often overlooked that in 2001, Sarandon supported Hillary
Clinton’s run for the Senate. There are photos of them posing
chummily together, grinning. Then Clinton voted for the war in Iraq
and it all went downhill. 
During
the last election, Sarandon supported Bernie Sanders, then wouldn’t
support Clinton after she won the nomination, and now all the
moderates hate her, to the extent, she says, that she had to change
her phone number because people she identifies as Hillary trolls sent
her threatening messages. “I got from Hillary people ‘I hope your
crotch is grabbed’, ‘I hope you’re raped’. 
Misogynistic
attacks. Recently, I said ‘I stand with Dreamers’ [children
brought illegally to the US, whose path to legal citizenship – an
Obama-era provision – Trump has threatened to revoke] and that
started another wave.”

Wait,
from the right?

In
a jab at her critics on the left, Sarandon said she isn’t worried
about the threats or the criticism from people who bizarrely blame
her for throwing the election to Trump. Instead, she’s worried that
the left’s refusal to reckon with the true nature of the problem –
that the DNC rigged an election to favor a flawed, unpopular
candidate – will harm progressive causes in the long run.

Well,
that’s why we’re going to lose again if we depend on the DNC [the
Democratic National Committee]. Because the amount of denial … I
mean it’s very flattering to think that I, on my own, cost the
election. That my little voice was the deciding factor.”

Is
it upsetting to be attacked?

It’s
upsetting to me more from the point of view of thinking they haven’t
learned. I don’t need to be vindicated.”


But
it’s upsetting that they’re still feeding the same misinformation
to people. When Obama got the nomination, 25% of [Hillary’s] people
didn’t vote for him. Only 12% of Bernie’s people didn’t vote
for her.”


But
she didn’t advocate voting for Hillary! Come on.

Hmm?”


Didn’t
she advocate voting for Jill Stein?

I
didn’t advocate people voting for anything. I said get your
information, I’m going to vote for change, because I was hoping
that Stein was going to get whatever percentage she needed – but I
knew she wasn’t going to make the difference in the election.”

Luckily,
Sarandon said her friends have stood by her, at least.

Has
she lost friends over all this? “No. My friends have a right to
their opinions. 
It’s
disappointing but that’s their business. It’s like in the lead-up
to Vietnam, and then later they say: ‘You were right.’
 Or
strangely, some of my gay friends were like: ‘Oh, I just feel bad
for [Clinton]. And I said: ‘She’s not authentic. She’s been
terrible to gay people for the longest time. She’s an opportunist.’
And then I’m like: ‘OK, let’s not talk about it any more.’”

Still,
I think while there was vast political error on both sides, the
inability of Sarandon and her ilk to embrace the lesser of two evils
permitted the greater of the two evils to rise. 
And
yet I like Sarandon. It takes real courage to go against the mob. Her
inconsistencies are a little wild, but in the age of social-media
enforced conformity, I have never met anyone so uninterested in
toeing the line.

When
it comes to deportations, Sarandon said a hypothetical Clinton
administration probably have continued with Obama’s strategy of
“sneakily” deporting immigrants.

Given
his record on immigration and extrajudicial drone-enabled murder,
Sarandon said she was shocked that he won the Nobel Peace Prize.

It
seems absurd to argue that healthcare, childcare, taxation for the
non-rich wouldn’t be better now under President Clinton, and that’s
before we get to the threat of deportation hanging over millions of
immigrants. “
She
would’ve done it the way Obama did it,” says Sarandon, “
which
was sneakily.
 He
deported more people than have been deported now. How he got the
Nobel peace prize I don’t know. I think it was very important to
have a black family in the White House and I think some of the stuff
he did was good. He tried really hard about healthcare. But he didn’t
go all the way because of big pharma.”

This
isn’t the first time Sarandon has suggested that Clinton could be a
greater national security risk than Trump. She made similar comments
in June 2016, just as Clinton was clinching the nomination. At that
time, Trump’s “America First” foreign policy pledge – which
was based on a philosophy of noninterventionism – was arguably more
dovish than his rival.

Of
course, Trump has pivoted away from that stance since taking office,
authorizing more troop deployments in Afghanistan and threatening
North Korea with nuclear annihilation, chagrining many of his early
supporters.

=============================

* Sarandon brak met Clinton toen deze zich in 2001 voor de illegale oorlog tegen Afghanistan verklaarde. Durden noemt hier Irak, echter dat moet zoals gezegd Afghanistan zijn, de illegale oorlog tegen Irak begon in 2003. (overigens ook een illegale oorlog waar Clinton voorstander van was…..)

PS: vergeet niet dat Hillary Clinton zich tijdens de campagne uitsprak voor het eerste gebruik van kernwapens bij een aanval van de VS, waarmee zij het pad verliet, waar kernwapens ‘alleen dienden als afschrikkingswapen’, iets waar ook Trump zich nu ‘positief’ over uitlaat  (uiteraard droomden het Pentagon en presidenten als Johnson, Nixon, Reagan, Bush sr., Clinton en Bush jr, al jaren over een aanval door de VS met kernwapens……)

Rusland waarschuwt VS voor oorlog tegen Noord-Korea

De VS heeft geweigerd onderhandelingen met Noord-Korea aan te gaan over het ‘nucleaire programma’ van Noord-Korea*, terwijl de westerse reguliere media vol staan over de onwil van Noord-Korea zich in te binden…. Sterker nog: dat de VS continu bezig is Noord-Korea te provoceren, haalt de westerse media niet eens……. Ook de laatste 2 maanden waarin Noord-Korea op aandringen van China en Rusland geen provocaties liet zien, waren voor de VS geen reden te stoppen met het provoceren van Noord-Korea en de VS ging en gaat nu juist wel door met militaire oefeningen langs de grens van Noord-Korea……. De VS komt met het lamme excuus dat de oefeningen die het langs de grens met N-K houdt, alleen zijn gericht op verdediging…… ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! 

Alsof het vreemd is dat Noord-Korea wanhopig probeert zich te verdedigen tegen de ongebreidelde agressie van de VS, dat al eens 20% van de Noord-Koreaanse bevolking vermoordde middels tapijtbombardementen, dit tijdens de Koreaanse Oorlog begin 50er jaren…..

De VS is totaal onbetrouwbaar, zo hebben Saddam Hoessein van Irak en Khadaffi van Libië moeten ervaren >> nadat zij aan de voorwaarden van de VS hadden voldaan werden ze alsnog om zeep geholpen en werd hun land in één grote chaos gestort….

Rusland heeft de VS nogmaals de wacht aangezegd, niet militair in te grijpen, daar dit tot een grote catastrofe, om niet te zeggen tot de apocalyps kan leiden (ofwel WOIII)……. 

Op een conferentie in het Zuid-Koreaanse Seoul heeft de Russische staatssecretaris voor Defensie, Igor Morgulov, aangegeven dat Rusland (en China) Noord-Korea wel degelijk onder druk hebben gezet en zetten, zich in te binden, iets dat de VS (en daarmee de rest van het westen, dus de meeste politici en de reguliere media) keer op keer durft te ontkennen…..

Ondertussen heeft de VS voor 4 december alweer een grote militaire oefening gepland langs de Noord-Koreaanse grens, waar 12.000 militairen en meer dan 230 militaire vliegtuigen aan deelnemen**, duidelijk een oefening op het binnenvallen van Noord-Korea, al stelt de VS dat het alweer om ‘verdediging’ gaat……..

Russia
Issues Chilling Warning to US Over North Korea

November
27, 2017 at 8:31 am

Written

Tyler
Durden

(ZHE) Russian
deputy foreign minister Igor Morgulov said on Monday that “an
apocalyptic scenario of developments” on the Korean Peninsula is
possible, but Russia hopes that a common sense would prevail among
the involved parties.

A
scenario of the apocalyptic development of the situation on the
Korean Peninsula exists and we cannot turn our blind eye to it
,”
Morgulov said speaking at the opening of the eighth annual Asian
Conference of the Valdai discussion club in Seoul. 
I
hope that a common sense, pragmatism and an instinct of
self-preservation would prevail among our partners to exclude such
negative scenario
,”
the Russian diplomat said, quoted by 
Russia’s
Tass
.

Fire
and brimstone aside, Morgulov noted that a phase of calm appeared to
be returning as North Korea’s current pause in provocations – the
longest since last winter – indicates a step toward
denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. “I think North Korea’s
restraint for the past two months is within the simultaneous freeze
road map” suggested by China and Russia, Morgulov told reporters in
Seoul on Monday according to 
Bloomberg.
North Korea’s last provocation was on Sept. 15, when it fired its
second missile over Japan in as many months. 
The
73-day pause is the longest since a 116-day break between October
2016 and February.

Russian
and Chinese foreign ministers proposed in July a “double freezing”
initiative, under which North Korea refrains from missile and nuclear
tests, and the U.S. and South Korea halt large-scale military
exercises, however the U.S. has rejected this proposal, arguing that
its drills are defensive in nature. Earlier this month, it carried
out its first exercise in a decade using three aircraft carriers in
the region, and plans to conduct drills with South Korea’s air
force in early December.

Morgulov,
Russia’s deputy minister responsible for relations with East and
South Asia, said that following a “freeze for freeze” the next
step would be to hold exchanges with Pyongyang. Once North Korea
agrees to a moratorium on testing and talks are taking place, the
process can move to discussion of denuclearization, he said. “We
will have to see a certain change of attitude of the U.S., especially
on freezing or reducing” its military drills, Morgulov said. “It’ll
be difficult for us to play the role of persuading North Korea” not
to provoke anymore without a change in the U.S. Position.

Despite
the impasse, and underscoring Russia’s argument, the diplomat said
that “we have told North Korea many times that for us [its] nuclear
status is unacceptable,” adding that “we continue this work with
the North Korean counterparts presenting to them our position.”

Moscow negatively
assesses joint military drills of the United States with its allies
in the region of the Korean Peninsula, 
while
North Korea keeps a two-month pause in missile and nuclear tests, he
went on.

Considering
the two-month long period of silence, the United States is not
planning to reduce the scale of its regular military exercises, but
also plan holding sudden drills as well,” Morgulov said.

Unfortunately,
this is the answer, which North Korea gets in response to its
two-month silence,” the Russian diplomat said adding that Moscow
“assesses it negatively.”  “I believe that both the North
Korean nuclear tests and joint military drills of the United States
with its allies are definitely of a negative nature,” Morgulov
said.

Russia
has presented the roadmap’s contents both to the U.S. and to the
DPRK (North Korea),” the diplomat said. “I would like to say that ‘at the
very entrance’ the plan has not been rejected either by Washington
or by Pyongyang, though still no answer.”

Besides,
we have spoken for discussing certain elements of this plan
separately with the U.S. and with North Korea,” he continued. “We
have begun the work, but I have to say regretfully that the actions,
which Washington undertook in October-November, I mean the unplanned
drills, affect greatly our dialogue on settlement on the basis of the
roadmap.”

Is
it possible for someone to cherish illusions that threats from US
President Donald Trump to strike with ‘fire and fury’ will be
able to cut the knot, which has been tight on the Korean Peninsula
for many decades?” Morgulov said. “I believe it would be naive to
hope that any of the sides would give in to the pressure,” the
Russian diplomat said.

We
must understand that the pressure borders with the deliberate push of
North Korea to the humanitarian catastrophe,” Morgulov said. “This
will not result in the North Korean authorities giving up missile and
nuclear programs, but on the contrary, will only strengthen its
intentions to stay until the very end.”

I
believe that the path of pressure has no perspectives and there is no
other alternative to the dialogue,” the Russian diplomat said.

The
resumption of inter-Korean dialogue could have a positive effect (on
the conflict settlement),” Morgulov said. “These two countries
have issues to discuss and I know that our South Korean partners are
ready for such dialogue and repeatedly expressed interest in its
initiation,” the Russian diplomat said.

If
Pyeongyang’s demonstrated restraint over the past two months was
met with similar reciprocal steps on behalf of the United States and
its allies then we could have moved to the start of direct talks
between the United States and North Korea,” Morgulov said.

Will
it be possible? I am absolutely sure that it is possible,” the
Russian diplomat said. “The key agenda of such talks can be very
simple, which is the principles of peaceful coexistence. I believe
that the lack of such concord gives roots to hostility and mutual
mistrust among the involved parties.”

The
United States and its allies should at least reduce the scale of
their regular military exercises they are holding in the region of
the Korean Peninsula,” Morgulov said.

How
to Be Less Ignorant This Thanksgiving

November
22, 2017 at 11:23 am

Written

Emma
Fiala

A
day seen by many Americans as a day of celebration, a day for family,
and a day for giving thanks, is perceived by many Native Americans as
a day filled with ignorance, a day filled with anger and a day full
of mourning.

(MPN) —
While millions of Americans prepare this week to get into the
holiday spirit, beginning with Thanksgiving, how many are prepared to
view the day through an accurate lens? While to many Americans the
holiday serves as a reminder to give thanks, it is seen as a day of
mourning by countless others. The truth is: European migrants
brutally murdered Native Americans, stole their lands, and continue
to do so today.

Start
by acknowledging that almost everything taught about Thanksgiving in
most schools across the country is a lie. Most Americans remember
celebrations in elementary school in honor of Thanksgiving that
included activities ranging from coloring pages to parades to plays.
Everyone knows the drill: The Pilgrims fled Europe before landing on
Plymouth Rock. The resident natives taught them how to farm the land,
they all sat down for a big meal in 1621, and everyone lived happily
ever after in the United States.

This
brief history lesson is often followed by teepees made hastily from
paper bags and headdresses for all children in the classroom using
brown paper and brightly colored feathers. Some children are assigned
the role of Pilgrims while others are told to play Indian for the
day. Younger children make turkeys shaped like their hands while high
school students are allowed to glimpse a few select representations
of the gruesome battles involved in colonization.

Unfortunately,
the watered-down, inaccurate teaching of the first Thanksgiving
continues into junior high, high school and even into college, with
most Americans never actually learning the truth. If non-Native
Americans are to learn the truth of the day, it is best to go
directly to the source. While there were two parties involved in this
supposed great feast, most Americans reference only the story told by
the Pilgrims, only the story fed by the colonizers, only the story
shaped by textbook manufacturers over the years.

Celebration
of a Massacre

It
may come as a surprise to some that the first official Thanksgiving
Day was held in 1637. Feasts of thankfulness were commonplace in both
European and Native American circles long before the first meeting
between the Wampanoag tribe, which inhabited southeastern
Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and the Pilgrims when they first
landed back in 1621. In 1637, Governor John Winthrop called for an
official day of thanks to celebrate the massacre of more than 700
people from the Pequot Tribe, a gruesome and generally unknown start
to such a widespread and popular holiday. “This day forth shall be
a day of celebration and thanksgiving for subduing the Pequots,”
read the proclamation.

If
Thanksgiving is to be celebrated accurately, it must be viewed
through a Native American lens. The best way to do that is to ask a
Native American.

Watch
| Native Americans share their feelings about the history of
Thanksgiving and how it impacts their lives to this day:

Thoughts
and emotions communicated in this video, as well as in conversations
with Native Americans, are in stark contrast to the thoughts of
gratitude and love conventionally expressed by non-Native Americans
when it comes to Thanksgiving. A day seen by many as a day of
celebration, a day for family, and a day for giving thanks, is
perceived as a day filled with ignorance, a day filled with anger and
a day full of mourning. How can these incredibly conflicting views of
the same day and the same events possibly exist within the same
country?

Colonization
Then and Now

law enforcement at the Oceti Sakowin camp as part of the final sweep

Tribune via AP, Pool)

Colonization
of this continent began long ago and continues to this day,
constantly shape-shifting but causing significant harm in all its
many guises. From the disappearance of Native women to 
the
fight for clean water
,
and from the police murder of a Native boy to threats of the sale of
Native lands, the Native struggle against colonization is seemingly
unrelenting.

This
time last year, Native Americans and their allies were brutally
attacked by police while defending clean water at Standing Rock in
North Dakota. In freezing temperatures, water cannons, along with
rubber bullets, were used by militarized police to keep water
protectors at bay. Over the course of the entire struggle at Standing
Rock, 
excessive
force and violence
 were
used by police and hired security multiple times.

Dakota, just north of the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, after a

On
Thanksgiving Day last year, a protest in the town of Mandan, ND was
met with a show of force while water protectors on the front lines at
the Oceti Sakowin camp at Standing Rock were attacked by police for
crossing the river at the base of Turtle Island. Native Americans and
their allies persisted and 
found
reasons to be thankful
 in
the face of oppression.

Recently,
a 14-year-old Native American boy, Jason Ike Pero, was killed by an
Ashland County Sheriff’s Deputy on the Bad River reservation in
northwestern Wisconsin. The Bad River Band of the Lake Superior
Ojibwe 
has
requested
 the
Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice to open a
criminal civil rights investigation into the incident. They claim the
media and  Wisconsin Department of Justice are trying falsely to
“describe Jason as being a troubled young man that acted in a
violent manner towards the deputy,” a tactic seen again and again
when it comes to police violence against minorities.

Just
this week, Nebraska’s Public Utility Commission approved the permit
for the Keystone XL pipeline, threatening Indigenous lands, despite 
a
major leak
 in
the Keystone pipeline just days prior. Pipelines and other
projects 
threaten Native
lands across the country, with the Trump administration seemingly
more focused on profit than on protecting both Native and 
national
lands
.

Celebrating
Thoughtfully

Once
the truth is acknowledged, how do non-Natives move forward? The
Thanksgiving tradition is now so deeply rooted in American culture
that doing away with the holiday completely is unrealistic, and would
further do little to repair the harm that has been done over the
years.


Here
are some suggestions on how Americans can avoid the traditional
whitewash and hypocrisy, and tailor their Thanksgiving
celebrations thoughtfully:

  • Donate
    to local Native American organizations or to those 
    fighting
    to protect their lands
    .

  • Cook
    traditional Native 
    foods.

  • Invite
    a Native neighbor and listen to what they have to say.

  • Teach
    family, friends, children an accurate history of Thanksgiving and
    colonization, using these books suggested by 
    American
    Indians in Children’s Literature
    .

  • Make
    an informed decision with family and decide together whether
    celebrating Thanksgiving is appropriate and comfortable.

When
it comes to halting and healing from colonization there is much work
to be done. Thanksgiving Day and it’s brutal history are an
excellent and timely place to begin.

Nebraska Regulators Approve Keystone Pipeline Route Days After South Dakota Leak, Shutdown

by Tyler Durden

Nov 20, 2017 11:29 AM

TransCanada received its final required pipeline route approval, winning Nebraska’s permission to build its long-delayed Keystone XL crude oil pipeline across the state… just days after a 5,000 barrel spill in South Dakota shut the pipeline.

decision will almost certainly be challenged in court.

Just a few short days after 210,000 gallons of crude oil spilled in South Dakota, Bloomberg reports that Nebraska’s Public Service Commission voted three to two Monday, removing one of the last hurdles to the Calgary-based company’s construction of the $8 billion, 1,179-mile conduit (1,897-kilometer), which has been on its drawing boards since 2008.

For those who aren’t familiar with the project, the pipeline links Canada’s Alberta oil sands to U.S. refineries.  While a portion of the pipeline has been operating, part of it had still not been approved by state regulators… until today’s decision by Nebraska.

       

                      (Héééé! Altijd al gedacht dat Nederland één groot redneck gat was!)

However, as Bloomberg notes, the commission approved an alternative route.

Jane Kleeb, president of the environmental advocacy group Bold Alliance, said green-lighting an alternative route may have helped the commission reach a “middle ground solution.”

At the same time it opens new questions that she said her group would explore in federal court. She argued the secondary route wasn’t adequately vetted.

That view mirrored a dissenting opinion filed by Commissioner Crystal Rhoades. She wrote that TransCanada didn’t meet “the burden of proof” in proving that the pipeline is in the state’s public interest, and she said the alternative route needed more study on both the state and federal level. For example, she said, Nebraska’s Department of Environmental Quality didn’t analyze the alternative route at all in its 2013 report.

 “It is clear” TransCanada “never intended it to be considered,” Rhoades said.

 In its post-hearing brief, TransCanada told the panel its “preferred route was the product of literally years of study, analysis and refinement by Keystone, federal agencies and Nebraska agencies,” and that no alternate route, even one paralleling the Keystone mainline as the approved path does, was truly comparable.

TransCanada’s share price is up on the news…

Notably, with Nebraska’s go-ahead in hand, TransCanada still must formally decide whether to proceed with construction on the line, which would send crude from Hardisty, Alberta, through Montana and South Dakota to Nebraska, where it will connect to pipelines leading to U.S. Gulf Coast refineries. The company’s open season for gauging producers’ interest closed late last month, and TransCanada executives have indicated that they’ve secured enough shipping commitments to make the project commercially worthwhile.

Clinton te kakken gezet: Brazile (Democratische Partij VS) draagt haar boek op aan Seth Rich, het vermoorde lid van DNC die belastende documenten lekte

Donna Brazile was ten tijde van de campagne van Hillary Clinton interim voorzitter was van de Democratic National Committee (DNC), het hoogste bestuursorgaan van de Democratische Partij. Zij bekleedde die functie daar de eerdere voorzitter Wasserman Schultz en Obama een wanbeleid hadden gevoerd en de organisatie met een grote schuld kwam te zitten….. Een schuld die Clinton voor macht in de organisatie inloste………

Brazile heeft een boek geschreven over deze tijd: “Hacks: The Inside Story of the Break-ins and Breakdowns That Put Donald Trump in the White House”. In tegenstelling tot Hillary fans, stelt Brazile dat Clinton tijdens de voorverkiezing (om de presidentskandidaat voor de Democratische Partij te bepalen) vals spel heeft gespeeld. Zoals al vaker op deze plek is gesteld, de documenten die dit aantoonden werden niet door de Russen gelekt maar door een medewerker van Clinton, die zo gefrustreerd was over het verraad van Clinton, dat hij de documenten lekte die dit aantoonden…….

Deze man, Seth Rich, werd daarna vermoord, zogenaamd tijdens een straatroof, echter waarbij zelfs de door Rich gedragen sieraden en geld niet werden gestolen…..

Brazile stelt dan ook dat ze daarna bang was voor haar leven, immers ook zij zag dat Clinton de boel belazerde en was het daar niet mee eens……. Brazile draagt haar boek mede op aan Seth Rich, die zij kende van haar werk voor de DNC.

Hier het ontluisterende verhaal geschreven door Tyler Durden, zoals door Anti-Media gebracht, eerder gepubliceerd op Zero Hedge:

Donna
Brazile Dedicates Her Book to “Patriot” Seth Rich

November
7, 2017 at 8:46 am

Written
by 
Tyler
Durden

(ZHE) — After
a leaked excerpt from her new book “Hacks: The Inside Story of the
Break-ins and Breakdowns That Put Donald Trump in the White House”
revealed that Donna Brazile 
feared
for her life 
after
the murder of former DNC employee Seth Rich, Axios** has reported that
Brazile provides more grist for what her former political allies have
dismissed as “right wing conspiracy theories” in the book’s
introduction.

Nestled
among the usual platitudes about thanking friends and family, Brazile
dedicates her book to Rich’s memory, describing him as a close
colleague and “patriot.”

Rich
was murdered in July 2016, two weeks before Wikileaks released a
trove of emails stolen from the DNC’s servers that, among other
embarrassing details, suggested that the DNC was engaged in
widespread rigging of the 2016 Democratic primary to favor
“front-runner” Hillary Clinton.

In
loving memory of my father, Lionel Brazile Sr.; my beloved sister,
Sheila Brazioutlanle; my fearless uncles Nat, Floyd, and Douglas;
Harlem’s finest, my aunt Lucille; my friend and mentor, David
Kaufmann; my DNC colleague and patriot, Seth Rich; and my beloved
Pomeranian, Chip Joshua Marvin Brazile (Booty Wipes). I miss y’all.”

Rich,
27, a former data analyst at the DNC, was fatally shot while walking
home late at night in Washington, D.C. The police believe the
shooting was a robbery gone wrong. 
But
Brazile says in her book that she was “haunted” by Rich’s death
because she feared shadowy elements associated with the Clinton
campaign may have played a role in his death as retribution for
leaking the emails.

As
Newsweek points out, media reports had characterized Rich as a
low-level staffer, and his parents wrote in an opinion piece for The
Washington Post (WaPo) in May claiming the idea that their son leaked the
emails to Wikileaks was ridiculous because his position didn’t
grant him access to sensitive data.

Brazile
mentioned Rich during a Sunday appearance on ABC News’s This Week
with George Stephanopouloson Sunday. She told the host about her
critics: “They don’t know what it was like to be over the DNC
during this hacking. They don’t know what it’s like to bury a
child. I did: Seth Rich.”

During
the interview, Brazile softened her claims that the DNC rigged the
primary (though, tellingly, party leaders have said they will
reexamine the role of “joint-fundraising agreements” which
Brazile alleged helped the Clinton campaign assert financial
dominance over the DNC). She also said that her critics in the party
can “go to hell.”

I’m
not on the payroll, George. I care about my country. I care about our
democracy,” Brazile said. “And I say go to hell, because why am I
supposed to be the only person that is unable to tell my story?”

Through
spokesman Brad Bauman, the Rich family said in a statement, “Since
Seth was murdered, Donna Brazile has been a great friend to the Rich
family and has been extremely supportive of the family’s efforts to
find Seth’s killers.”

Of
course, Democrats have lined up to rebut Brazile’s claims. More
than 100 former Clinton campaign aids signed an open letter accusing
Brazile of falling for “Russia-fueled propaganda” in what appears
to be a feeble attempt to discredit her.

Already,
a trove of bombshell allegations included in the book have been
widely reported thanks to leaked excerpts, and a teaser chapter that
Brazile published as an essay in 
Politico.
For example, Brazile revealed that she considered replacing Clinton
and running mate Tim Kaine with Joe Biden and Corey Booker after
Clinton fainted at the 9/11 memorial. She also levied accusations
of 
sexism and racism at
former Clinton staffers, and – most shockingly of all – revealed
that the Clinton campaign took advantage of Debbie Wasserman
Schultz’s absentee leadership of the party to make the DNC
financially dependent on Clinton.

‘Topgeheim’ NSA document bewijst dat Syrische ‘rebellen’ worden aangestuurd door Saoedi-Arabië, met medeweten van VS…….

Ontving afgelopen maandag een artikel op Anti-Media, oorspronkelijk van Zero Hedge, waarin wordt aangetoond dat Saoedi-Arabië met medeweten van de VS, de ‘gematigde rebellen’* aanstuurt en dat al vanaf het begin van de strijd, die tot nu toe meer dan een half miljoen slachtoffers heeft geeeist……..

Oké het is in feite geen nieuws, daar ook uit o.a. documenten op Wikileaks al bleek dat de VS op de hoogte was van deze aansturing…… Sterker nog: zelfs de VS heeft terreurgroep IS van wapens voorzien en vervoerde o.a. leden van deze terreurgroep van Libië naar Syrië, om daar te vechten tegen het bewind en de bevolking…….

Ook is al langer bekend, dat S-A alle terreurgroepen in Syrië (behalve IS**), van geld en wapens voorziet…..

Ondanks dat en zoals al vaker op deze plek gesteld: hoe meer bewijs, hoe beter!

In het Zero Hegde artikel aandacht voor een aanval van het ‘Vrije Syrische Leger’ (Free Syrian Army >> FSA) op burgerdoelen in Damascus. De Saoedische prins Salman bin Sultan gaf deze terreurgroep opdracht om het vliegveld van Damascus plat te gooien en de stad te doen oplichten (met explosies van raketaanvallen). Bij die aanval is een groot aantal burgers omgekomen en hoewel de VS een paar dagen van te voren op de hoogte was van deze enorme oorlogsmisdaad, heeft het daar geen actie op ondernomen…….

Jammer dat ook in dit artikel het Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) wordt genoemd. Dit orgaan, gesitueerd in Engeland, bestond aanvankelijk uit 1 man, een gewezen misdadiger die Syrië ontvluchtte om veroordeling wegens begane misdaden te voorkomen…… Het SOHR heeft aantoonbaar een groot aantal valse berichten de wereld ingestuurd….. Ondanks dat omarmen het grootste deel van de westerse politici en de reguliere westerse (massa-) media dit orgaan, daar het zich verzet tegen de regering Assad, dat is tegenwoordig blijkbaar genoeg om alle leugens in ‘westerse waarheid’ om te toveren……

Top-Secret
NSA Memo Proves Syrian Rebels Were Directed by Saudis — and the US
Knew

October
24, 2017 at 8:22 pm

Written
by 
Tyler
Durden

(ZHE) — The
Intercept has 
just
released a new top-secret NSA document
 unearthed
from leaked intelligence files provided by Edward Snowden which
reveals in stunning clarity that 
the
armed opposition in Syria was under the direct command of foreign
governments from the early years of the war
 which
has now claimed half a million lives.

The
US intelligence memo – marked “Top Secret” – 
is
arguably the most damning piece of evidence to date which gives
internal US government confirmation of the direct role that both the
Saudi and US governments
 played in
fueling an armed insurgency which launched massive and
well-coordinated 
attacks
on civilians, civilian infrastructure, as well as military targets in
pursuit of regime change.
 The
NSA report is sourced to the intelligence agency’s
controversial 
PRISM
program
 –
which
gives the NSA the ability to sweep up all communications and data
exchanged through major US internet service providers like Google.
The memo focuses on events that unfolded outside Damascus in March of
2013.

One
of the videos that Saudi-backed FSA fighters uploaded to YouTube
identified by The Intercept as showing rockets launched on civilian
areas of Damascus on March 18, 2013. US intelligence knew of the
secret operation three days in advance yet did not stop it.  

According
to the document, 
the
Free Syrian Army (FSA) was
 ordered
to “light up Damascus” and “flatten” the Syrian capital’s
international airport by Prince Salman bin Sultan
 –
a prominent member of the Saudi royal family tasked with overseeing
operations in Syria as a top Saudi intelligence officer. The document
further reveals that the “Saudis sent 120 tons of
explosives/weapons to opposition forces” – presumably in the lead
up to the operation.

The
report not only confirms that the assault happened, but that 
the
Saudi government was “very pleased”
 with
the outcome: “
Attacks
against airport, Presidential palace and other locations occurred on
18 March
,”
the memo reads. Also significant is that 
the
memo confirms US intelligence foreknowledge of the attack on a major
civilian airport:
 “Reports
gave U.S. three days warning about 18 March 2013 attacks (2 year
anniversary of revolution).”

Minister. Image source: Wikimedia Commons


According
to 
The
Intercept
,
various news reports from the time confirmed significant attacks and
damage from FSA-fired rockets upon civilian areas. Not only is
Damascus International Airport Syria’s main civilian transport hub
– which was used by millions each year before the war – but it
remained in 
daily
operation for commercial flights in March 2013
,
when Saudi intelligence ordered the attacks with knowledge of US
intelligence.

As
The Intercept 
reports:

A
number of videos posted by Syrian opposition media on the day of the
attacks purport to show rebel fighters 
firing
rockets
 at
the same sites mentioned in the U.S. document. The March 2013 attacks
in Damascus provide a concrete example of the role that foreign
powers played in the day-to-day reality of the conflict. A number of
videos posted by Syrian opposition media on the day of the attacks
purport to show rebel fighters 
firing
rockets
 at
the same sites mentioned in the U.S. document. Local
media 
reports from
that day described an attack in which rockets struck within the areas
of the presidential palace, a local government security branch, and
the airport. A representative of the U.K.-based Syrian Observatory
for Human Rights 
quoted in
a story the next day reporting the attacks, stating that they were
unable to confirm whether they resulted in casualties.

However,
The Intercept’s commentary is 
inaccurate
in claiming that the Syrian Observatory (SOHR) did not report
casualties from the attack
 as
one of the 
Arabic
news sources it links to above (Middle East based Alwatan News),
reports
:

The
Free Syrian Army targeted Kafr Sousa [an area of Damascus near
Mezzeh] and they fired 24 missiles on Damascus airport… 
60
people died in yesterday’s attacks
,
according to the Syrian Observatory.” 
[as
translated by Zero Hedge]

And
intense attacks continued through April and into the summer of 2013
according to international media reports from the time, also
confirmed by a 
photo
circulated through the AFP
*** showing
civilian passengers waiting in airport lounges the month following
the initial March 2013 rocket attacks.

While
the Saudi-US role in 
fueling
the jihadist insurgency
 from
the earliest days of the war in Syria has long been 
thoroughly
documented
,
this latest leaked NSA bombshell report provides 
astoundingly
clear proof that the relationship between the anti-Assad insurgents
and foreign intelligence was even more direct, and existed earlier in
time
 than
most analyst and mainstream pundits led the public to believe.

Om de

het Pentagon na 26 jaar, met instemming van het 666 beest Trump, besloten met
atoomwapens geladen B52 bommenwerpers weer de klokrond ‘gemobiliseerd’ te houden……..

Als
reden geeft het Pentagon onder meer aan dat het nu eenmaal een
gevaarlijke wereld is…… ha! ha! ha! ha!ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Inderdaad
het is een gevaarlijke wereld en daar is maar een ‘land’
verantwoordelijk voor, de grootste terreurentiteit die de aarde ooit

For
The First Time In 26 Years, US To Put Nuclear Bombers On 24 Hour
Alert

by Tyler
Durden

Oct
23, 2017 6:39 AM

The
unexpected decision by President Trump to 
amend
an emergency Sept 11 order signed 
by
George W Bush, allowing the Air Force to recall up to 1,000 retired
air force pilots to address what the Pentagon has decribed as “an
acute shortage of pilots” caught us by surprise. After all, this
was the first time we have heard of this particular labor shortage –
perhaps there was more to this executive order than meets the eye.
Indeed, a just released report may help explain the reasoning behind
this presidential decision.

According
to 
Defense
One, 
the
US Air Force is preparing to put nuclear-armed bombers back on
24-hour ready alert, a status not seen since the Cold War ended in
1991.

That
means the long-dormant concrete pads at the ends of Barksdale Air
Force Base’s 11,000-foot runway — dubbed the “Christmas tree”
for their angular markings — could once again find several B-52s
parked on them, laden with nuclear weapons and set to take off at a
moment’s notice
.

This
is yet one more step in ensuring that we’re prepared,” 
Gen.
David Goldfein, Air Force chief of staff, told the publication in an
interview during his six-day tour of Barksdale and other U.S. Air
Force bases that support the nuclear mission. “
I
look at it more as not planning for any specific event, but more for
the reality of the global situation we find ourselves in and how we
ensure we’re prepared going forward.”

Quoted
by Defense One, Goldfein and other senior defense officials stressed
that the alert order had not been given, but that preparations were
under way in anticipation that it might come. That decision would be
made by Gen. John Hyten, the commander of U.S. Strategic Command, or
Gen. Lori Robinson, the head of U.S. Northern Command. STRATCOM is in
charge of the military’s nuclear forces and NORTHCOM is in charge
of defending North America.

Putting
the B-52s back on alert is just one of many decisions facing the Air
Force as the U.S. military responds to a changing geopolitical
environment that includes North Korea’s rapidly advancing nuclear
arsenal, President Trump’s confrontational approach to Pyongyang,
and Russia’s increasingly potent and active armed forces.

Goldfein,
who is the Air Force’s top officer and a member of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, 
is
asking his force to think about new ways that nuclear weapons could
be used for deterrence, or even combat.

Quoted
by Def One, he said that “the world is a dangerous place and we’ve
got folks that are talking openly about use of nuclear weapons. It’s
no longer a bipolar world where it’s just us and the Soviet
Union. 
We’ve
got other players out there who have nuclear capability. It’s never
been more important to make sure that we get this mission
right.” 
During
his trip across the country last week, Goldfein encouraged airmen to
think beyond Cold War uses for ICBMs, bombers and nuclear cruise
missiles.

I’ve
challenged…Air Force Global Strike Command to help lead the dialog,
help with this discussion about ‘What does conventional conflict
look like with a nuclear element?’ and ‘Do we respond as a global
force if that were to occur?’ and ‘What are the options?’” he
said. “How do we think about it — how do we think about
deterrence in that environment?”


Asked
if placing B-52s back on alert — as they were for decades — would
help with deterrence, Goldfein said it’s hard to say.

Really
it depends on who, what kind of behavior are we talking about, and
whether they’re paying attention to our readiness status,” he
said
.

Meanwhile,
various improvements have already been made to prepare Barksdale —
home to the 2d Bomb Wing and Air Force Global Strike Command, which
oversees the service’s nuclear forces — 
to
return B-52s to an alert posture.
 Near
the alert pads, an old concrete building — where B-52 crews during
the Cold War would sleep, ready to run to their aircraft and take off
at a moment’s notice — is being renovated.

Inside,
beds are being installed for more than 100 crew members, more than
enough room for the crews that would man bombers positioned on the
nine alert pads outside. There’s a recreation room, with a pool
table, TVs and a shuffleboard table. Large paintings of the patches
for each squadron at Barksdale adorn the walls of a large stairway.

One
painting — a symbol of the Cold War — depicts a silhouette of a
B-52 with the words “Peace The Old Fashioned Way,” written
underneath. At the bottom of the stairwell, there is a Strategic Air
Command logo, yet another reminder of the Cold War days when American
B-52s sat at the ready on the runway outside.

Those
long-empty B-52 parking spaces will soon get visits by two nuclear
command planes, the E-4B Nightwatch and E-6B Mercury, both which will
occasionally sit alert there. During a nuclear war, the planes would
become the flying command posts of the defense secretary and STRATCOM
commander, respectively. If a strike order is given by the president,
the planes would be used to transmit launch codes to bombers, ICBMs
and submarines. At least one of the four nuclear-hardened E-4Bs —
formally called the National Airborne Operations Center, but commonly
known as the Doomsday Plane — is always on 24-hour alert.

Barksdale
and other bases with nuclear bombers are preparing to build storage
facilities for a new nuclear cruise missile that is under
development. During his trip, Goldfein received updates on the
preliminary work for a proposed replacement for the 400-plus
Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles, and the new
long-range cruise missile.

Our
job is options,” Goldfein told Defense One’s Marcus Weisgerber. “We
provide best military advice and options for the commander and chief
and the secretary of defense. Should the STRATCOM commander require
or the NORTHCOM commander require us to [be on] a higher state of
readiness to defend the homeland, then we have to have a place to put
those forces.”

And
now that the US is preparing for immediate nuclear war readiness, all
it needs is a provocation, one which a world which has never been
more on edge over a stray tweet, may have little difficulty in
finding…

Thousands
Could Die”: Puerto Rico Scrambles to Evacuate 70,000 as Dam Fails

September
23, 2017 at 9:00 am

Written
by 
Tyler
Durden

(ZHE) — Days
after Hurricane Maria passed over the island and made its way west
toward the Dominican Republican, Puerto Rico is still struggling with
the initial response to the storm – rescuing people stranded in
remote villages, and moving thousands into government shelters.
Meanwhile the island’s first responders are making due without
electricity, gas or cell phone service after the storm dealt a
knockout blow to its infrastructure.

In
what was perhaps the most destructive blow to the island’s aging
infrastructure, the 
NWS
warned 
Friday
that the Guajataca Dam in northwest Puerto Rico would soon fail,
prompting the agency to issue a flash flood emergency warning for
Isabela and Quebradillas municipalities. Now, authorities are
scrambling to evacuate the residents of the river valley below the
dam before their communities are entirely submurged. If the
authorities don’t act quickly, “thousands could die” one
official in charge of the rescue response said.

According
to federal reservoir data, the lake behind the dam, Lago de
Guajataca, rose more than three feet between Tuesday and Wednesday,
when the storm was still directly over the island. More recent data
were unavailable. With floodwaters gushing into the Guajataca river
valley, 
Reuters reports
that emergency officials were scrambling Friday and Saturday to
evacuate its nearly 70,000 residents before their villages have been
completely submerged.

Video
published by CBS shows waters gushing over the top of the 90-year-old
dam, sending a wall of water racing into the valley below.

The
National Weather Service warned of “imminent failure” and urged
residents in the area to “move to higher ground now.”

The
evacuation of the valley is perhaps the most high-stakes rescue
effort of the past week, according to  Abner Gomez, executive
director of Puerto Rico’s emergency management agency. Gomez said
Friday that the dam’s floodgates suffered mechanical damage during
the storm, which made it impossible for authorities to open and let
out normal water currents.

He
added that 
there
is no way to fix it” right now considering the conditions and said
if the dam tops over or fails structurally, “thousands of people
could die.”

The
Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority, which operates the dam, says
that the failure is already causing flash flooding downstream. 
The
dam lies across the Guajataca River to form a reservoir that can hold
roughly 11 billion gallons of water.

According
to 
Weather.com, local
media have reported that residents of one small community near the
dam are refusing to evacuate, forcing authorities to invoke a law
that allows responders to evacuate children and the elderly in an
emergency.

The
latest crisis comes as the death toll on Puerto Rico rose to 21 on
Friday, when authorities said eight people had died in Tao Baha 30
miles from San Juan, where more than 4,000 people have been rescued
from floodwaters.

Meanwhile,
some shelters are running out of food and other essential supplies,
creating a situation that the island’s governor, Ricard Rossello,
described as a “humanitarian emergency.”

Maria
made landfall in Puerto Rico early Wednesday as a powerful Category 4
hurricane with 155 mph winds – the first Category 4 to hit the
island since 1932. The storm wiped out the island’s power grid and
dumped 20 to 30 inches of rain in 24 hours, with some areas seeing as
much as 40 inches. The storm could leave most of the island without
power for weeks – or possibly up to six months in some areas.
