Russiagate haat- en angstcampagne samenzweerders als FBI en Clinton moeten strafrechtelijk worden vervolgd

Nu
blijkt dat het hele Russiagate verhaal door de mand is gevallen, is
het de hoogste tijd om degenen die deze leugen in de wereld brachten,
strafrechtelijk te vervolgen, immers men heeft voor niets angst en
haat gezaaid bij de bevolking en daarbij tevens zaken als censuur
ingevoerd, censuur dat niet thuis hoort in een democratie, maar in
een dictatuur………

Vergeet niet dat het hele Russiagate fantasieverhaal in de wereld werd geholpen door hare kwaadaardigheid Hillary Clinton en haar campagneteam, puur en alleen om de door haar en haar team begane misdaden te verbergen….. Immers het stelen van de Democratische Partij voorverkiezingen van Bernie Sanders door Clinton en haar campagneteam, moest zo snel mogelijk uit de media verdwijnen, zodat Clinton nog enige kans kon maken op het presidentschap van de VS….* (hoewel men er in de Democratische Partij van overtuigd was dat Clinton de presidentsverkiezingen zou winnen)

Lees hoe
smerig de FBI, Steele en Hillary Clinton hun misdaden trachtten te
verbergen, dan wel meehielpen aan deze misdaden…… Het hieronder
opgenomen artikel, waarvan de kop verwijst naar een artikel op de New York Times, werpt licht op deze duistere zaak, werd
geschreven door Tyler Durden en verscheen op Zero Hedge , waar Durden o.a. ingaat op het gefabriceerde Steele dossier:

NYT:
The Tables Have Turned — Time To Investigate The FBI, Steele And The
Rest Of The ‘Witch Hunters’

by Tyler
Durden

Mon,
04/22/2019 – 04:20

As
we now shift from the “witch hunt” against Trump to
‘investigating the investigators’ who spied on him – remember this;
Donald Trump was supposed to lose the 2016 election by almost all
accounts. And had Hillary won, as expected, 
none
of this would have seen the light of day
. 

We
wouldn’t know that a hyper-partisan FBI had 
spied on
the Trump campaign
,
as Attorney General William Barr put it during his April
10 
Congressional
testimony

We
wouldn’t know that a Clinton-linked operative, Joseph Mifsud, 
seeded
Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos
 with
the rumor that Russia had ‘Dirt’ on Hillary Clinton – which would
later be coaxed out of Papadopoulos by a Clinton-linked Australian
ambassador, Alexander Downer, and that this apparent ‘setup’ would be
the genesis of the FBI’s “
operation
crossfire hurricane

operation against the Trump campaign.

We
wouldn’t know about the role of Fusion GPS – the opposition research
firm hired by Hillary Clinton’s campaign to commission the Steele
dossier. Fusion is also linked to the infamous 
Trump
Tower meeting
,
and hired 
Nellie
Ohr
 
the CIA-linked wife of the DOJ’s then-#4 employee, Bruce Ohr.
Nellie 
fed
her husband Bruce intelligence she had gathered against Trump while
working for Fusion
according
to transcripts
 of
her closed-door Congressional testimony.

And
if not for reporting by the 
Daily
Caller
‘s
Chuck Ross and others, we wouldn’t know that the FBI sent a longtime
spook, Stefan Halper, to infiltrate and spy on the Trump campaign –
after the Obama DOJ 
paid
him over $400,000
 right
before the 2016 US election (out of more than $1 million he received
while Obama was president).  

According
to the 
New
York Times
,
the tables are turning, starting with the Steele Dossier.

[T]he
release on Thursday of 
the
report by the special counsel
,
Robert S. Mueller III, underscored what had grown clearer for
months — that while many Trump aides had welcomed contacts with the
Russians, 
some
of the most sensational claims in the dossier appeared to be false,
and others were impossible to prove
.

Mr.
Mueller’s report contained over a dozen passing references to the
document’s claims but no overall assessment of why so much did not
check out.

Now the dossier — financed by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee, and compiled by the former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele — is likely to face new, possibly harsh scrutiny from multiple inquiries. –NYT

While
Congressional Republicans have vowed to investigate, the DOJ’s
Inspector General 
is
considering whether the FBI improperly relied on the dossier
 when
they used it to apply for a surveillance warrant on Trump campaign
adviser Carter Page. The IG also wants to know about Steele’s
sources 
and
whether the FBI disclosed any doubts as to the veracity of the
dossier

Attorney
General Barr, meanwhile, said he will 
review
the FBI’s conduct in the Russia investigation
 after
saying the agency 
spied
on the Trump campaign

Doubts
over the dossier

The
FBI’s scramble to vet the dossier’s claims are well known. According
to an April,

2017 NYT reportthe
FBI agreed to pay Steele $50,000 for “solid corroboration”
of his claims
. Steele was
apparently unable to produce satisfactory evidence – and was
ultimately not paid for his efforts:

Mr.
Steele met his F.B.I. contact in Rome in early October, bringing a
stack of new intelligence reports. One, dated Sept. 14, said that Mr.
Putin was facing “fallout” over his apparent involvement in the
D.N.C. hack and was receiving “conflicting advice” on what to do.

The
agent said that 
if
Mr. Steele could get solid corroboration of his reports, the F.B.I.
would pay him $50,000
 for
his efforts, according to two people familiar with the
offer. 
Ultimately,
he was not paid
.
NYT

Still,
the FBI used the dossier to obtain the FISA warrant on Page – 
while
the document itself was heavily shopped around to various media
outlets
.
The late Sen. John McCain provided a copy to

Former
FBI Director James Comey, who already had a version, and briefed
President Trump on the salacious document. Comey’s briefing to
Trump 
was
then used by 
CNN and BuzzFeed to
justify reporting on and publishing the dossier 
following
the election. 

Let’s
not forget
 that
in October, 2016,
 both
Hillary Clinton and her campaign chairman John Podesta promoted the
conspiracy theory that a secret Russian server was communicating with
Trump Tower.

Hillary Clinton

The
report was debunked
 after
internet sleuths traced the IP address to a marketing server located
outside Philadelphia, leading Alfa Bank executives to file a lawsuit
against Fusion GPS in October 2017, claiming their reputations were
harmed by the Steele Dossier. 

And
who placed the Trump-Alfa theory with various media outlets?
 None
other than former FBI counterintelligence officer and Dianne
Feinstein aide Dan Jones – 
who
is currently working with Fusion GPS and Steele to continue their
Trump-Russia investigation 
funded
in part by 
George
Soros

Dan
Jones, George Soros, Glenn Simpson


Russian
tricks?

The Times notes
that 
Steele
“has not ruled out” that he may have been fed Russian
disinformation
 while
assembling his dossier. 

That
would mean that in addition to carrying out an effective attack on
the Clinton campaign, Russian spymasters hedged their bets and placed
a few land mines under Mr. Trump’s presidency as well.

Oleg
D. Kalugin, a former K.G.B. general who now lives outside Washington,
saw that as plausible. “Russia has huge experience in spreading
false information,” he said. –
NYT

In
short, Steele is being given an ‘out’ with this admission.  

A
lawyer for Fusion GPS, Joshua Levy, 
says
that the Mueller report substantiated the “core reporting”
in the Steele memos
 –
namely that “Trump campaign figures were secretly meeting
Kremlin figures,” and that Russia’s president, Vladimir V. Putin,
had directed “a covert operation to elect Donald J. Trump.”

Of
course, when one stops painting with broad brush strokes, it’s clear
that the dossier was fabricated bullshit. 

The
dossier tantalized Mr. Trump’s opponents with a worst-case account
of the president’s conduct. And for those trying to make sense of
the Trump-Russia saga, the dossier infused the quest for
understanding with urgency.

In
blunt prose, 
it
suggested that a foreign power had fully compromised the man who
would become the next president of the United States.

The
Russians, it asserted, had tried winning over Mr. Trump with real
estate deals in Moscow — which he had not taken up
 —
and set him up with prostitutes in a Moscow hotel in 2013, filming
the proceedings for future exploitation. A handful of aides were
described as conspiring with the Russians at every turn.

Mr.
Trump, it said, had moles inside the D.N.C.
 The
memos claimed that 
he
and the Kremlin had been exchanging intelligence for eight years and
were using Romanian hackers against the Democrats
,
and that 
Russian
pensioners in the United States were running a covert communications
network
. –NYT

And
after a nearly two-year investigation by special counsel Robert
Mueller and roughly 40 FBI agents and other specialists, 
no
evidence was found to support the dossier’s wild claims of “DNC
moles, Romanian hackers, Russian pensioners, or years of Trump-Putin
intelligence trading
,”
as the 
Times puts
it. 

Now
that the shoe is on the other foot, and key Democrats backing away
from talks of impeachment, let’s see if lady justice will follow the
rest of us down the rabbit hole.

* Een ander misdaad die in de aanloop van de presidentsverkiezingen naar boven kwam was het feit dat Clinton als minister van BuZa haar eigen mailadres gebruikte, waar dit niet is toegestaan in de VS.
Zie ook:

‘Intel processors al 10 jaar zo lek als een mandje, Intel niet een bedrijf uit Rusland of China, maar uit….. de VS!

Russiagate: VS en buitenlandse geheime diensten hebben de VS presidentsverkiezingen in 2016 gemanipuleerd

Russiagate: nog overtuigd van bestaan daarvan? Lees dit!

Julian Assanges vervolging is de genadeklap voor klokkenluiders en (echte) journalisten‘ 

Voor meer berichten over wat Russiagate teweeg heeft gebracht, klik op de volgende labels direct onder dit bericht: Hillary Clinton, Steele, WikiLeaks, manipulatie, Facebook en S. Rich (Rich was de klokkenluider uit het Clinton campagneteam die de mails van Clinton lekte naar WikiLeaks en daarvoor werd vermoord (dat lijkt me meer dan duidelijk, immers hij zou volgens de politie zijn vermoord bij een roofoverval op straat, waarbij geen geld of sieraden die hij droeg werden gestolen…… Kortom het moet hier wel gaan om een politieke moord…..). 

Monica den Boer (D66 Tweede Kamer) wil een FBI voor de EU…… OEI!!!

Monica den Boer, wat mij betreft nog een nieuw- (op) lichter in de Tweede Kamer, moet hebben beseft dat ze inderdaad te weinig bekendheid heeft. Vandaar dat ze er na een paar maanden hersenstormen uit was: er moet een FBI worden opgericht in de EU, een politieorgaan dat zonder belemmering van grenzen in EU lidstaten kan optreden……

Den Boer noemde als belangrijkste reden voor oprichting van een FBI voor de EU, de drugsbestrijding en terrorisme……

Drugs moet je niet willen verbieden daar dit een averechts effect heeft, zo toonde ons eerdere gedoogbeleid van drugs aan. Dankzij dit gedoogbeleid had Nederland veel minder verslaafden aan bijvoorbeeld heroïne dan in ons omliggende landen……

Maar nee, daar wil den Boer niets meer van weten, ‘gewoon’ meedoen aan het demoniseren van drugs, waar de Nederlandse politie enorm veel meer uren besteedt aan het oprollen van ‘cannabisplantages’, dan in de 70er, 80er en 90er jaren van de vorige eeuw…….

Niet dat daar reden voor is, immers aan de harddrug alcohol* overlijden verreweg de meeste verslaafden, het gaat in Nederland om gemiddeld 12 doden per dag, die ten gevolge van langdurig alcoholgebruik overlijden en dat cijfer is van een paar jaar geleden (ofwel het aantal doden zal intussen op zeker zijn gestegen…..)

Moet je nagaan, dit is nog naast alle schade die alcohol aanricht, waarvan de zwaarste schade doden zijn, die bijvoorbeeld door een alcoholverslaafde automobilist werden aangereden….. Voorts is er nog immateriële schade, zoals: vernielingen (en ander geweld), echtscheidingen, zware schulden enz. enz. Zaken die enorm veel politie-inzet vergen……

Drugsbestrijding, door een FBI in de EU kan zelfs de soevereiniteit van EU-lidstaten aantasten, ga maar na als de EU een nog grotere draai richting rechts maakt, niet onmogelijk dat deze ‘FBI’ voor de EU na dat moment in Nederland arrestaties zal verrichten voor het gebruik en de verspreiding van drugs, zoals cannabis (een softdrug) voor de koffieshops………

Dan nog terrorisme: telkens weer blijkt na een aanslag dat men de dader in het vizier had, maar desondanks niet kon voorkomen dat deze een aanslag pleegde……. Daarvoor verantwoordelijk zijn politiediensten en/of geheime diensten als de AIVD en MIVD……

Om maar te zwijgen over de oorzaak van dat terrorisme, zoals: de illegale oorlogen van de VS in landen waar het niets te zoeken heeft, grootschalige VS terreur die wordt gesteund door een aantal NAVO-lidstaten, zoals Nederland, waar ook D66 zich achter deze terreur schaarde…….

Den Boer is een smerige hypocriet die denkt met het weggeven van macht aan de EU een punt te kunnen scoren….. Dat brengt me meteen bij het einde van dit bericht: het is niet in het belang van de EU bevolking dat de EU nog meer macht krijgt toebedeelt, integendeel!!! En een politiemacht als de FBI in de VS, een macht die onder en boven de wet functioneert, kunnen we in de EU missen als kiespijn!!

Ach ja, D66 de grote voorstander van een almachtige EU, terwijl de bevolking van de EU daar overduidelijk tegen is…… Het is dan ook te hopen dat D66 bij de volgende Kamerverkiezingen geheel en al wordt weggevaagd, dat heeft deze neoliberale oplichterspartij meer dan verdiend!! Help daar alvast aan mee beste bezoeker, door volgende maand tijdens de EU verkiezingen vooral niet te stemmen op partijen als D66. VVD, CDA, PvdA, CU en PVV (PVV begint te draaien, nu blijkt dat de fascisten steeds sterker worden in de EU en in de nabije toekomst zelfs de grootste fractie in het EU parlement kunnen worden…… Nog een reden om de EU vaarwel te zeggen……)

* Je begrijpt natuurlijk wel dat den Boer alcohol niet als een drug ziet, laat staan als de zwaar verslavende harddrug die het in werkelijkheid is……

Irak oorlog: 16 jaar na 20 maart 2003 ontkent de perschef van Bush dat er is gelogen om Irak binnen te vallen…..

Het gore
lef wat sommigen hebben is niet zelden ten hemel schreiend, zoals de
perschef van president Bush (deze oorlogsmisdadiger en top-idioot mag zich president blijven noemen). Ari Fleischer (de perschef) nam het besluit e.e.a. via Twitter de wereld in
te helpen, waarschijnlijk als reactie op de dreigementen van de VS
tegen het Internationaal Strafhof dat men actie zal nemen tegen de
functionarissen, die zich bezig houden met onderzoek naar VS
oorlogsmisdaden…….

Ongelofelijk wat ploert Fleischer durft te zeggen, terwijl de hele wereld weet (of kan weten) dat de
VS heeft gelogen, leugens die meer dan 2 miljoen Irakezen het leven
heeft gekost, ofwel die mensen zijn in feite vermoord door de
VS……

Fleischer
doet net of de geheime diensten van de VS, Israël en nog een paar
landen zeker wisten dat er massavernietigingswapens lagen in Irak,
weliswaar klopte dit niet, maar dat is iets anders dan liegen, aldus de hufter….. ha!
ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!

Alsof
die geheime diensten ook maar de neiging hebben om de waarheid te vertellen,
jezus!!

De
wapeninspecteurs van de VN, o.l.v. Blix, hebben uit en te na gewezen op
het feit dat Irak (onder Saddam Hoessein) geen
massavernietigingswapens had en deze zelfs niet voor hen verborgen kon
hebben…..

Overigens liet de Hoop Scheffer, oorlogsmisdadiger van het CDA, vorig jaar weten nog steeds achter de illegale oorlog tegen Irak te staan, ondanks het enorme aantal slachtoffers, een land dat voor een groot deel in puin ligt en waar de oorlog nog lang niet is afgelopen…… Irak, een land waarnaar Nederland vluchtelingen deporteert, rechtstreeks de oorlog in, dit op basis van ambtsberichten van Buitenlandse Zaken, terwijl hetzelfde ministerie nog steeds een negatief reisadvies voor Irak afgeeft….

Caitlin
Johnstone schreef op haar site een uiterst scherp artikel over
deze zaak en laat van Fleischer en anderen geen spaan heel, lezen
mensen, het gaat hier om geschiedvervalsing van de eerste orde, ook
de reguliere (massa-) media doen net of hun neus bloedt als het om de
illegale Irak oorlog gaat, terwijl zij deze oorlog op valse feiten
van A tot Z hebben gepropageerd, waar de kennis over het tegendeel voor het oprapen lag…….. (over het brengen van fake news gesproken….)

On
the Anniversary Of The Iraq Invasion, Bush Press Secretary Claims
Bush Didn’t Lie

by Caitlin
Johnstone

On
the sixteenth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, as the US
government 
threatens
punitive action
 against International
Criminal Court investigators for attempting to look into US war
crimes, former George W Bush administration Press Secretary Ari
Fleischer has decided to 
publish
a Twitter thread
 claiming
that Bush did not lie to the world about Iraq.

Here
is a transcript of the full thread by Fleischer:

The
Iraq war began sixteen years ago tomorrow. There is a myth about the
war that I have been meaning to set straight for years. After no WMDs
were found, the left claimed “Bush lied. People died.” This
accusation itself is a lie. It’s time to put it to rest.
 

The
fact is that President Bush (and I as press secretary) faithfully and
accurately reported to the public what the intelligence community
concluded. The CIA, along with the intelligence services of
Egypt, France, Israel and others concluded that Saddam had WMD. We
all turned out to be wrong. That is very different from lying.
 

After
the war, a bipartisan group was created to determine what went wrong,
particularly why the intelligence community’s conclusions about Iraq
were so different from what was found on the ground after the
war. The group of experts was named the Robb-Silberman
commission. It’s report was issued in March 2005. 
It
can be found in full here
.
Its key finding was that that a “major intelligence failure”
took place. It also stated that no intelligence service was pressured
by the Bush Administration to conclude that Saddam had WMDs.
 

Here
are the key quotes from their report:
 

“Overall
Commission Finding: The Intelligence Community’s performance in
assessing Iraq’s pre-war weapons of mass destruction programs was a
major intelligence failure.
 

Nuclear
Weapons Summary Finding: The Intelligence Community seriously
misjudged the status of Iraq’s alleged nuclear weapons program in the
2002 NIE* and other pre-Iraq war intelligence products. This
misjudgment stemmed chiefly from the Community’s failure to analyze
correctly Iraq’s reasons for attempting to procure high-strength
aluminum tubes.
 

Biological
Warfare Summary Finding: The Intelligence Community seriously
misjudged the status of Iraq’s biological weapons program in the 2002
NIE and other pre-war intelligence products. The primary reason
for this misjudgment was the Intelligence Community’s heavy reliance
on a human source–codenamed ‘Curveball’–whose information later
proved to be unreliable.
 

Chemical
Warfare Summary Finding: The Intelligence Community erred in its 2002
NIE assessment of Iraq’s alleged chemical warfare program. The
Community’s substantial overestimation of Iraq’s chemical warfare
program was due chiefly to flaws in analysis and the paucity of
quality information collected. In the case of Iraq, collectors of
intelligence absorbed the prevailing analytic consensus and tended to
reject or ignore contrary information. The result was ‘tunnel vision’
focusing on the Intelligence Community’s existing assumptions. The
Intelligence Community did not make or change any analytic judgments
in response to political pressure to reach a particular conclusion,
but the pervasive conventional wisdom that Saddam retained WMD
affected the analytic process. The CIA took too long to admit
error in Iraq, and its Weapons Intelligence, Nonproliferation, and
Arms Control Center actively discouraged analysts from investigating
errors.
 

Finally,
we closely examined the possibility that intelligence analysts were
pressured by policymakers to change their judgments about Iraq’s
nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons programs. The analysts
who worked Iraqi weapons issues universally agreed that in no
instance did political pressure cause them to skew or alter any of
their analytical judgments.”
 

That
is what the investigators reported, after been given full access to
people throughout the intelligence community. Which leads me to
conclude that there was a liar and his name was Saddam Hussein. He
created an elaborate system of lies to fool western intelligence
services and he succeeded. He wanted us to believe he had WMDs.
 

The
allegaton that “Bush lied. People died” is a liberal myth
created to politically target President Bush. I understand the anger
that was felt after no WMDs were found. But that doesn’t justify
calling the President a liar. I can only hope that serious historians
and other experts do their homework and resist falling for this myth.

Ari
Fleischer is lying. It is an absolute proven fact that George W Bush
and his administration 
lied
extensively
 about
the degree of certainty in intelligence regarding Saddam Hussein
possessing weapons of mass destruction, having ties to Al Qaeda, and
seeking nuclear weapons, all of which (along with Vice President
Cheney’s claim that the US invaders would be “
greeted
as liberators
“)
proved false. The Bush administration did not know the things they
claimed to know with any degree of certainty, but they claimed that
they were certain in order to manufacture support for war. Claiming
to know something you do not know is lying, especially when it’s to
advance an ulterior motive.

“Evidence
from intelligence sources, secret communications and statements by
people now in custody reveal that Saddam Hussein aids and protects
terrorists, including members of Al Qaeda,” Bush 
claimed
in January 2003
.
“Secretly, and without fingerprints, he could provide one of his
hidden
 
weapons
to terrorists, or help them develop their own.”

“Simply
stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass
destruction,” Cheney 
claimed
in August 2002
.
“There is no doubt he is amassing them to use against our
friends, against our allies, and against us.”

“The
United States knows that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction,”
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld 
said
in December 2002
.
“Any country on the face of the earth with an active
intelligence program knows that Iraq has weapons of mass
destruction.”

“We
are absolutely sure they have continued to develop weapons of mass
destruction, and we are sure they have in their possession weapons of
mass destruction,” Secretary of State Colin Powell 
said
in December 2002
.

“My
colleagues, every statement I make today is backed up by sources,
solid sources,” Powell told the United Nations Security Council
in his infamous 
Iraq
presentation
 in
February 2003. “These are not assertions. What we’re giving
you are facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence.”

“People
will continue to debate this issue, but there is no doubt in my
mind,” Powell said in the same presentation. “These illicit
procurement efforts show that Saddam Hussein is very much focused on
putting in place the key missing piece from his nuclear weapons
program, the ability to produce fissile material.”

Powell was
not nearly as certain
 as
he claimed to be. None of them were. Facts revealed after the
invasion prove that for all their public claims of complete and total
certainty that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, was aiding and
abetting Al Qaida, and was developing nuclear weapons, behind the
veil of government secrecy there was nothing like certainty at all.

For
starters, Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi, who was cited in Powell’s
presentation and who Fleischer refers to by the code name “Curveball”
in the above thread, 
was
known to have been lying
 about
bioweapons long before the invasion. Despite the confident assertions
made by the Bush administration about Janabi’s claims to the public,
no American personnel were present when he made those claims, and
he 
told
the 
Guardianin
2011
 that
the BND (the German intelligence agency who interrogated him) had
known he was lying all along.

“The
BND [German intelligence] knew in 2000 that I was lying after they
talked to my former boss, Dr Bassil Latif, who told them there were
no mobile bioweapons factories,” Janabi said. “For 18
months after that they left me alone because they knew I was telling
lies even though I never admitted it.

Believe
me, back then, I thought the whole thing was over for me. Then all of
a sudden [in the run up to the 2003 invasion] they came back to me
and started asking for more details about what I had told them. I
still don’t know why the BND then passed on my information to the CIA
and it ended up in Powell’s speech.”

Colonel
Lawrence Wilkerson was Powell’s chief of staff and helped him prepare
his UN presentation on Iraq. When asked on MSNBC if he believed he
was lied to about Janabi following the 2011 revelation,
Wilkerson 
told
Cenk Uygur
 that
“I cannot come to any other conclusion, especially when I have
discovered that no US personnel were present when Curveball was
interrogated by the BND, the German intelligence service. That we
accepted that, that we even had a head of the European division for
the CIA, Tyler Drumheller, who at the last minute during Powell’s
preparation, during my preparation of the secretary, had told both
Tenet and McLaughlin that Curveball might not be reliable. That
information was never relayed to the Secretary of State, or to me. I
have some serious doubts about it now. I think there was some
manipulation of this material, and there was some outright lying.”

When asked
by Uygur
 who
he thought lied to him, Wilkerson said one of WINPAC’s two WMD
experts at the time may have been answering directly to Dick Cheney’s
office.

declassified
report from 2002
 titled Iraq:
Status of WMD Programs 
reveals
that while the Bush administration was making its claims of absolute
certainty regarding the dangers posed by the Iraqi government, behind
the scenes it was damn near the opposite. Some choice excerpts:

Our
assessments rely heavily on analytic assumptions and judgment rather
than hard evidence. 

The evidentiary base is particularly sparse for
Iraqi nuclear programs.”

We
range from 0% to about 75% knowledge on various aspects of their
program.”

“Our
knowledge of the Iraqi (nuclear) weapons program is based
largely—perhaps 90%—on analysis of imprecise intelligence.”

“We
cannot confirm the identity of any Iraqi facilities that produce,
test, fill, or store biological weapons.”

Our
knowledge of what biological weapons the Iraqis are able to
produce is nearly complete. Our knowledge of how and where they
are produced is nearly 90% incomplete.”

We
do not know the status of enrichment capabilities. We do not know
with confidence the location of any nuclear-weapon-related
facilities.”

Please
take a look at this material as to what we don’t know about WMD. It
is big.” (That one was from Rumsfeld.)

We
don’t know with any precision how much we don’t know.”

This
is not the language of certainty. Yet certainty was presented to the
public to manufacture support for a war which murdered a million
Iraqis.

The
2002 
Downing
Street memo
,
made public in 2005, reveals a secret meeting between senior
officials of the British government, intelligence and defense
agencies discussing what they knew about America’s plans for war.
The 
text
of the document
 contains
an assertion by the head of MI6 that Bush had already determined that
the invasion of Iraq would take place, and it was only a matter of
fixing bits of intelligence around a narrative to make the case.

“Military
action was now seen as inevitable,” the document reads. “Bush
wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the
conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were
being fixed around the policy. The NSC had no patience with the UN
route, and no enthusiasm for publishing material on the Iraqi
regime’s record. There was little discussion in Washington of the
aftermath after military action.”

“It
seemed clear that Bush had made up his mind to take military action,
even if the timing was not yet decided,” the document quotes
Foreign Secretary Jack Straw as saying. “But the case was thin.”

In
2008
hearing before the House Judiciary Committee
,
attorney and author Vincent Bugliosi pointed out that the fact
that Bush lied about Iraq could be proven by the difference between
the classified 2002 National Intelligence Estimate and its
declassified white paper which was made available to the public.
 
The
classified version contained dissents from the consensus and language
which made it clear that the reader was reading assessments and
opinions by the CIA and other intelligence agencies, whereas the
unclassified version saw these things deleted, presenting the
assessments as absolute fact.

“The
evidence that he lied about weapons of mass destruction, by the way,
which is not the basis for this book, are right in front of
me,” 
Bugliosi
said
.
“I have it right here. Here is the evidence. This document here
is the National Intelligence Estimate. I didn’t name it before. I
talked about a classified report. This is it right here. October 1st,
2002, classified NIE report. It is called Iraq’s Continuing
 
Programs
of Weapons of Mass Destruction. In this document right here, the CIA
and 15 other U.S. intelligence agencies use words like this, ‘we
assess that’ or ‘we judge that’ Hussein has weapons of mass
destruction. This document here is the white paper that was given to
you folks here in Congress and the American people. And the words ‘we
assess that’ or ‘we judge that’ were removed, meaning that you folks
here heard a fact, and in fact, it was only an opinion.

“Number
two, on nuclear weapons, this document right here, the classified
report has several important dissents. This document right here, the
white paper that you folks were given and the American people, all of
those dissents were deleted.”

Over
and over and over again we saw the same thing: uncertainty presented
as certainty. Guesses presented as fact. Opinions presented as proof.
That’s a lie. Bush lied. We know this with as much certainty as his
administration was pretending to have in the lead-up to the Iraq
invasion. There was a pre-existing agenda to invade Iraq, and
justifications were advanced to provide an excuse for that invasion
with such extreme aggression that now-National Security Advisor John
Bolton literally 
threatened
to murder an international official’s children
 for
making diplomacy work with Saddam.

Here
are a few more 
courtesy
of 
Vox
:

In
October 2002, Bush said that Saddam Hussein had a 
“massive
stockpile”
 of
biological weapons. But as 
CIA Director
George Tenet
 noted
in early 2004, the CIA had informed policymakers it had “no
specific information on the types or quantities of weapons agent or
stockpiles at Baghdad’s disposal.” The “massive stockpile”
was just literally made up.

In
December 2002, Bush declared, 
“We
do not know whether or not [Iraq] has a nuclear weapon.”
 That
was not what the National Intelligence Estimate said. As Tenet would
later testify, “We said that Saddam did not have a nuclear weapon
and probably would have been unable to make one until 2007 to 2009.”
Bush did know whether or not Iraq had a nuclear weapon — and lied
and said he didn’t know to hype the threat.

On
CNN in September 2002, Condoleezza Rice claimed that aluminum tubes
purchased by Iraq were “only really suited for nuclear weapons
programs.” This was 
precisely
the opposite of what nuclear experts at the Energy Department
 were
saying; they argue that not only was it very possible the tubes were
for nonnuclear purposes but that it was very likely they were too.
Even more dire assessments about the tubes from other agencies were
exaggerated by administration officials — and in any case, the
claim that they’re “only really suited” for nuclear weapons is
just false.

On
numerous occasions, Dick Cheney cited a report that 9/11 conspirator
Mohammed Atta had met in Prague with an Iraqi intelligence officer.
He said this after 
the
CIA and FBI concluded that this meeting never took place
.

More
generally on the question of Iraq and al-Qaeda, on September 18,
2001, Rice 
received
a memo summarizing intelligence on the relationship
,
which concluded there was little evidence of links. Nonetheless Bush
continued to 
claim
that Hussein was “a threat because he’s dealing with
al-Qaeda”
 more
than a year later.
 

In
August 2002, 
Dick
Cheney declared
,
“Simply stated, there’s no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has
weapons of mass destruction.” But as 
Corn
notes
,
at that time there was “no confirmed intelligence at this point
establishing that Saddam had revived a major WMD operation.” Gen.
Anthony Zinni, who had heard the same intelligence and attended
Cheney’s speech, would 
later
say in a documentary
,
“It was a total shock. I couldn’t believe the vice president was
saying this, you know? In doing work with the CIA on Iraq WMD,
through all the briefings I heard at Langley, I never saw one piece
of credible evidence that there was an ongoing program.”

In
2007 General Wesley Clark 
told Democracy
Now
 that
he’d actually been informed of the decision to invade Iraq
immediately after 9/11, while the crosshairs were turning on
Afghanistan and well before the public narrative was being amped up
in demand of an invasion of Iraq. His comments read as follows:

About
ten days after 9/11, I went through the Pentagon and I saw Secretary
Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz. I went downstairs just to
say hello to some of the people on the Joint Staff who used to work
for me, and one of the generals called me in.
 

He
said, “Sir, you’ve got to come in and talk to me a second.”
I said, “Well, you’re too busy.” He said, “No, no.”
He says, “We’ve made the decision we’re going to war with Iraq.”
This was on or about the 20th of September. I said, “We’re going
to war with Iraq? Why?” He said, “I don’t know.” He
said, “I guess they don’t know what else to do.” So I said,
“Well, did they find some information connecting Saddam to
al-Qaeda?” He said, “No, no.” He says, “There’s
nothing new that way. They just made the decision to go to war with
Iraq.” He said, “I guess it’s like we don’t know what to do
about terrorists, but we’ve got a good military and we can take down
governments.” And he said, “I guess if the only tool you
have is a hammer, every problem has to look like a nail.”
 

So
I came back to see him a few weeks later, and by that time we were
bombing in Afghanistan. I said, “Are we still going to war with
Iraq?” And he said, “Oh, it’s worse than that.” He
reached over on his desk. He picked up a piece of paper. And he said,
“I just got this down from upstairs” — meaning the
Secretary of Defense’s office — “today.” And he said,
“This is a memo that describes how we’re going to take out seven
countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon,
Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.” I said, “Is
it classified?” He said, “Yes, sir.” I said, “Well,
don’t show it to me.” And I saw him a year or so ago, and I
said, “You remember that?” He said, “Sir, I didn’t
show you that memo! I didn’t show it to you!”

Iraq,
Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Iran. If you’ve been
following the behaviors of the US war machine, Iraq won’t be the only
painfully familiar name on that list.

It remains important to learn what we’ve attacked and where. How widespread?
In addition to military targets, I hope we targeted Assad’s palace in Damascus. Leave him alive but destroy his prestige. Leave him without a home, as Assad has left millions of Syrians w/o theirs.

Ari
Fleischer is a liar. He 
was
in the thick
 of
the Bush administration’s campaign to sell the Iraq war to the
American public, and to this day he 
continues trying to
sell
 them
on 
new
acts
 of depraved
US interventionism
.
He’s just as much a warmongering neocon inside as he was when he was
behind a podium defending Bush’s wars in the press room, so it’s no
wonder he wants to preserve the image of his insatiable death cult.
Fleischer wants to preserve his legacy, yes, but he also wants to
preserve support for the war machine whose feet he worships at, hence
his ham-fisted attempt at narrative manipulation regarding the
unforgivable Iraq invasion.

The
responses to Fleischer’s Twitter thread have been overwhelmingly
negative, though, so it doesn’t look like anyone’s buying it. In our
new political landscape, where the image of George W Bush is
being 
continually
rehabilitated
,
that gives me a bit of hope.

These
monsters lied to start a war which snuffed out a million human lives
and destabilized an entire region, and they did it right in front of
our faces. The fact that they’re now trying to lie about the thing we
all watched them do is as insulting as it is infuriating. Never let
them pull the wool over your eyes, and never forget what they did.
Forgiveness is 
highly
overrated

Trump en Bolton bedreigen openlijk de familie van Venezolaanse militairen

De
psychopathie van de Trump administratie kent werkelijk geen grenzen
meer, afgelopen maandag hebben Trump en Bolton de familie’s van
Venezolaanse militairen bedreigd, tenminste als ze niet snel de
fascist Guaidó steunen…….

Gewoon
openlijk laten horen wat bijvoorbeeld de maffia in het geniep doet:
chantage en in deze met (misdadige) bedreiging van militairen behorend tot een
soeverein land, ofwel deze militairen worden bedreigd met VS terreur…… Hoe is het mogelijk?? Ach gelul, de VS heeft al
heel lang geleden laten zien geen middel onbenut te laten als het een
VS onwelgevallige regering weg wil hebben…… Niet voor niets dat
de VS vanaf het eind van WOII tot nu meer dan 22,5 miljoen mensen
vermoord*, waaronder een enorm aantal kinderen……..

De VS
deed dit o.a. door:

  • economische oorlogsvoering tegen landen die niet de
    hielen likken van de VS… Waarna onvrede vanwege tekorten aan levensmiddelen en medicijnen onder de bevolking tot een
    opstand moeten leiden, zie Venezuela

  • het
    van meet af aan opzetten van opstanden, die tot een coup moeten
    leiden, zoals de VS dat in Syrië heeft gedaan, waarvoor in 2006 de
    eerste fundamenten werden gelegd

  • het direct organiseren van een coup als de vorige twee niet leiden tot het
    gewenste resultaat, waarbij officieren van het leger worden
    omgekocht en later als leiders worden geparachuteerd door de VS. Waar in het geval van Oekraïne, een van te voren geselecteerd
    persoon werd uitgezocht, die de macht na een geslaagde coup moest overnemen, in dit geval de
    zwaar corrupte neonazi Porosjenko….. De coup in Oekraïne is zoals bekend geslaagd, die grap kostte de VS een
    slordige 4 miljard euro; hoofdverantwoordelijken >> hare kwaadaardigheid H.
    Clinton en ‘vredesduif’ Obama…..

  • het
    vermoorden van oppositie of leden van een regeringspartij (net hoe
    het uitkomt) en dat middels geheime militaire-CIA acties….

  • het
    vermoorden van verdachten middels drones, waarbij meer dan
    90% van de vermoorden niet eens werden verdacht, dus veelal vrouwen
    en kinderen…….

Lees het
hieronder opgenomen artikel van Caitlin Johnstone, eerder gepubliceerd op haar website en verbaas je net als ik over de
uitermate gewelddadige bedreigingen van ronduit een stel
psychopathische moordenaars en oorlogsmisdadigers:

CAITLIN JOHNSTONE

Trump
Administration Threatens Families Of Venezuelan Military

Today,
President Trump presented Venezuela’s military officers with a
choice – work for a democratic future for all Venezuelans or see
the financial circle close for their families and loved
ones,” 
tweeted US
National Security Advisor John Bolton today following a Miami 
speech
by the president
.

If
you know anything about John Bolton, you just know he typed “noose”
first instead of “circle”.

This
would be the same John Bolton, for the record, who once threatened to
murder an international official’s children for obstructing his
attempts to manufacture support for the Iraq invasion which killed a
million human beings and plunged the region into terrorism and
chaos. A man named José Bustani was the director-general of
the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) in
early 2002, during which time 
The
Intercept
 reports
 he
came under fire for having too much success in diplomacy with the
Iraqi government, which undermined the case for an invasion. So
Bolton attempted to scare him off.

From The
Intercept
:

Cheney
wants you out,” Bustani recalled Bolton saying, referring to the
then-vice president of the United States. “We can’t accept your
management style.”
 

Bolton
continued, according to Bustani’s recollections: “You have 24
hours to leave the organization, and if you don’t comply with this
decision by Washington, we have ways to retaliate against you.”

There
was a pause.
 

We
know where your kids live. You have two sons in New York.”

And
now we see this same psychopath threatening to starve and impoverish
the families of a sovereign nation’s military with economic warfare
if they don’t facilitate a coup by the most violent government on
earth in the most oil-rich nation on the planet. All in the name of
spreading Freedom and Democracy™, of course.

John Bolton

@AmbJohnBolton

Today, President Trump presented Venezuela’s military officers with a choice – work for a democratic future for all Venezuelans or see the financial circle close for their families and loved ones.

Bolton,
who was in attendance at the president’s speech, gave a more direct
and honest summary of what was happening than the one Trump’s
speechwriters fed him:

We
seek a peaceful transition of power, but all options are open,”
Trump said of the US-led Venezuela coup agenda. “We want to restore
Venezuelan democracy, and we believe that the Venezuelan military and
its leadership have a vital role to play in this process. If you
choose this path, you have an opportunity to help forge a safe and
prosperous future for all of the people of Venezuela. Or you can
choose the second path: continuing to support Maduro. If you choose
this path, you will find no safe harbor, no easy exit, and no way
out. You will lose everything.”

This
would be the same President Trump, for the record, who just hours
earlier 
tweeted
about
 “an
illegal coup attempt on the President of the United States,”
regarding 
statements
made
 by
former Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe that there had been
discussions among top officials at the Justice Department and
the FBI about possibly using the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from
office. This same man who is outraged about an attempt to oust him
early on in his administration using laws and bureaucracy has no
qualms about ousting the government of a sovereign nation
using 
starvation
sanctions
CIA
ops
,
an aggressive campaign to delegitimize Maduro, and now outright
threats to the nation’s military personnel.

Trump
has also been 
tweeting furiously about the
“lies” McCabe told about him, who 
wrote
the following
 in
his new book about a 2017 Oval Office meeting:

Then
the president talked about Venezuela. That’s the country we should
be going to war with, he said. They have all that oil and they’re
right on our back door. He continued on, rambling and spitballing
about whatever came to mind.”

I
am sure that McCabe is as much of a deceitful sleaze as every other
FBI boss, but that part at least sounds truthful.

Aaron Maté


@aaronjmate

Page 136 of McCabe’s new book, recounting a 2017 Oval Office meeting: “Then the president talked about Venezuela. That’s the country we should be going to war with, he said. They have all that oil and they’re right on our back door.”

9:59 PM – Feb 18, 2019

For
the rest of Trump’s speech he very tediously introduced all his
loyal sycophants backing his Venezuela agendas, he bloviated
repeatedly about the horrible horrifying terror of socialism, he kept
referring to Venezuela’s elected leader as “Dictator Maduro”
and some rando that 
fewer
than one in five Venezuelans had even heard of
 until
last month as “President Guaidó”, he tossed out nonsensical red
herrings about Venezuela being controlled by Cuba, and he repeated
his administration’s braindead talking point about the Venezuelan
government refusing to let in US “humanitarian aid”, which 
the
Red Cross, the UN, and even war-happy NPR
** recognize
as a transparent ploy to foment regime change.


These
are the people you’re meant to believe are the “good guys”
coming to the rescue, America. The guys who threaten to kill the
families of officials if they aren’t given their way. The guys who
threaten to starve the families of military officials who don’t
turn on their government and kill anyone who tries to stop them. The
guys who pick 
mass
murder facilitator
 Elliott
Abrams to spearhead Venezuela’s transition to Freedom and
Democracy™. The guys who helped murder a million Iraqis and plunge
us into a new era of military expansionism and Orwellian
surveillance. Those guys.

Sometimes
it’s hard to say what’s more frustrating: the fact that these
deadly imperialist regime change power grabs keep happening, or the
fact that people keep buying the same tired old stories that are used
to sell them.

Vreemd
toch dat de FBI nog steeds als een geloofwaardige organisatie wordt
gezien in zo ongeveer het hele westen, terwijl de organisatie
meermaals is ontmaskerd als een bovenwettelijke organisatie, een organisatie die beduidend vaker liegt dan de waarheid spreekt en die
zelfs moord niet uit de weg gaat…. Het is zeker dat de vele tv
series en films waarin de FBI meestal een glansrol speelt, ofwel Hollywood gestuurde FBI-propaganda, met het vertekende beeld over de FBI te maken heeft….

Caitlin
Johnstone schreef het hieronder opgenomen artikel over ex-FBI bons
Terry Turchie, die in een gesprek op Fox zijn gram uitsprak over
progressieve en linkse mensen geplaatst op functies in de VS
regering, terwijl hij zich (‘oh ironie’) kan herinneren dat de FBI
succesvol dit soort figuren uit de regering wist te houden……
Als reden daarvoor gaf Turchie het antwoord dat daarmee de regering
disfunctioneel zou worden gemaakt en deze regering het volk zou misleiden met expres gemaakte misinformatie* en desinformatie (en fake news = nepnieuws)……. Terwijl we nu weten dat juist een VS regering zonder ‘progressieven’ en linkse mensen een garantie is voor enorme misleiding van het volk, waar men zelfs (meervoudige) moord niet schuwt om het misselijkmakend doel te bereiken……. Sterker nog, op die manier worden de vele illegale oorlogen die de VS her en der heeft gevoerd en voert, als noodzakelijk voorgesteld…..

Waar
haalt deze Turchie kwast het gore lef vandaan?? Met zijn praatje geeft hij
juist aan waar de FBI voor heeft gezorgd en voor staat: manipulatie
van de bevolking via leugens, desinformatie en verdraaiing van
feiten, waarmee niet Rusland maar de FBI de verkiezingen manipuleerde en nog manipuleert…. Waaraan toegevoegd moet worden dat de FBI niet schroomt
een false flag operatie uit te voeren, waarmee een haar
onwelgevallige politicus, ambtenaar dan wel burger in een kwaad
daglicht wordt gesteld, zoals de FBI dat heeft gedaan inzake Martin
Luther King (al was het in dat geval zinloos). Mocht dit niet lukken
zoals alweer in ‘de zaak’ Martin Luther King, dan vermoordt de FBI
zo’n figuur, of laat deze vermoorden en als het moet door
maffialeden……

Moet je
nagaan: dan durft ook de FBI Rusland van verkiezingsmanipulatie in de
VS te beschuldigen…… ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!

Lees het artikel van Johnstone, waarin ze o.a. ook Martin Luther King aanhaalt**:

Shocking
Admission by FBI Veteran Shows Why the FBI Shouldn’t Exist

January
20, 2019 at 9:48 pm

Written
by 
Caitlin
Johnstone

(CJ Opinion) — On
the 18th of November, 1964, the FBI’s 
appallingly
corrupt
 boss
J. Edgar Hoover 
denounced Martin
Luther King Jr. as “the most notorious liar in the country.” A
few days later, a Hoover deputy named William Sullivan 
wrote
King a letter
 posing
as a disillusioned follower and using powerful, manipulative language
to urge the civil rights leader to commit suicide before evidence of
his extramarital affair became public. Enclosed was an FBI recording
containing evidence of the affair.

Whenever
America celebrates Martin Luther King Jr. Day* we should remind
ourselves that it is a known, undisputed fact that the Federal Bureau
of Investigation engineered a psyop to manipulate one of the world’s
greatest minds into committing suicide. It is also worth reviewing
the 
compelling
argument
 for
the case that the FBI was behind King’s assassination as well.

Hoover,
who headed the FBI for decades, obsessively despised King on a deeply
personal level. He kept files on the civil rights leader in which
he’d 
scribble
hateful comments
 on
memos he received about King, apparently for no purpose other than
his own gratification and catharsis. On a memo about King receiving
the St. Francis peace medal from the Catholic Church, he wrote “This
is disgusting.” On the news of King’s meeting with the pope, he
scribbled, “I am amazed that the Pope gave an audience to such a
degenerate.”

FBI
headquarters 
still
wears the name
 of
this childish pig, a brazen admission by the Bureau that it remains
very much the same institution which tried to end Martin Luther King
Jr.’s life, the same institution which 
assassinated Black
Panthers leader Fred Hampton***, the same institution which for years
ran the unconstitutional 
COINTELPRO
campaign
 to
infiltrate and sabotage dissident political groups, and which
has 
continued
to infiltrate
 dissident
political groups, 
including
Black civil rights groups
,
to 
this very day.

We
received yet another reminder of the FBI’s true face the other day
in an interview with its former Deputy Assistant Director Terry
Turchie on Fox’s 
Tucker
Carlson Tonight
.
In a passing tangent largely unrelated to the rest of the interview,
Turchie 
made
the following shocking statement
 in
relation to the ongoing Russiagate saga:

And
I think we can expect more of this, because quite honestly the
electorate in some places is putting more and more progressives and
self-described socialists in positions. And ironically, years ago,
when I first got into the FBI, one of the missions of the FBI in its
counterintelligence efforts was to try and keep these people out of
government. Why? Because we would end up with massive dysfunction and
massive disinformation and massive misinformation, and it seems to me
that’s where we’re at today.”

Wow.

Uhhhhhhh….Fmr FBI Assistant Director just said “When I first got into the FBI one of the missions of the FBI in its counterintelligence efforts was to try to keep” progressives out of government

2:48 AM – Jan 19, 2019

According
to 
his
LinkedIn profile
,
Turchie joined the FBI in July of 1972. COINTELPRO, the program in
which leftist groups were actively infiltrated and undermined,
officially 
ended
in 1971
,
and Hoover had 
died
in May of 1972
.
This was after “Hoover’s FBI” stopped being Hoover’s FBI, yet
a “counterintelligence effort” was still very much alive and
thriving to undermine the will of the electorate and prevent them
from electing leftists to office.

This
one admission, by itself, is in my opinion more than enough to
justify the FBI’s total dissolution. Leaving aside any of their
other malfeasance that I mentioned earlier, leaving aside the rest of
their other documented malfeasance that I haven’t mentioned, this
one admission by Turchie shows clearly that America’s secret police
should cease to exist.

Think
about it. How can anyone justify the FBI’s continued existence
after such an admission? There is an extremely powerful branch of the
US government which is known to have been actively undermining the
democratic will of the electorate through covert means. Even if you
very trustingly subscribe to the belief that the FBI no longer
engages in any such practices to any extent (and that would be
extremely naive), how can you justify keeping it in power knowing
that it did? Where precisely in the FBI’s history is a clear,
clean, unequivocal break from what it was doing then declared,
documented and evidenced? For what reason was it not razed to the
ground decades ago and any of its actual necessary functions
transferred elsewhere?

Imagine
if the Ku Klux Klan had successfully cleaned up its image in the ’90s
or something. Now you’re seeing members of the KKK interviewed on
CNN and MSNBC as respectable members of society, holding powerful
political positions, treated like heroes, all under the same banner
it held when it was lynching people of color a few decades prior.
Would that not seem weird? Would you not say something like “Wait,
why are we keeping that organization around? At best they’re
probably just putting a nicer face on their previous toxic agendas,
especially since any good intentions existing within it could simply
be taken somewhere with a less horrific history.”

The
only reason the FBI is being treated any differently is because it’s
got such good PR, namely the entire political/media class.

Journalist
Mark Ames 
documents a
short-lived push by the Carter administration to “transform the FBI
from an extralegal secret police agency to something legal and
defined.” This feeble proposition to give the Bureau an actual
charter to clearly define what it is, what it does, and where the
confines of its operations are was the closest America ever came to
putting any kind of limitations on the powers of its secret police
force, and by the time Reagan rolled around it was long forgotten.

And
now you’ve got this same evil institution 
essentially
criminalizing
 the
act of the executive branch pursuing good relations with a nuclear
superpower, launching a secret counterintelligence investigation into
whether a sitting president is a national security threat for his
Russia policy. This cannot be leading anywhere good.

The
FBI has too much power and far too unforgivable a history to be
permitted to control the reigns of the nation with the most powerful
military force in the history of civilization. Get rid of it and move
in a healthy direction.

Als Martin Luther King nog zou leven was hij onderwerp van censuur en was zijn Facebook pagina verwijderd

Ondanks
Martin Luther King Day op 21 januari in de VS, een officiële vrije
dag, is er verder maar weinig veranderd in de VS, sinds de moord op
MLK (waar maar één dader voor aangewezen kan  worden: de FBI).
Wat betreft de discriminatie van de gekleurde bevolking geldt hetzelfde: er is over het geheel gezien weinig veranderd, ondanks 
de acties van Martin Luther King en de officiële MLK dag, plus 2 termijnen Obama, de eerste gekleurde
president van de VS…… De VS regering en zelfs de FBI eert MLK wel schijnheilig,
maar zou hem haten als hij nog leefde (zie ook het neerschieten van
gekleurden door de VS politie, waarbij de meerderheid van de
slachtoffers niet eens bewapend was en is, immers dit gaat bijna
dagelijks door in de VS…).

King was
niet alleen een mensenrechtenactivist, maar ook een groot leider in
het verzet tegen de VS oorlog in Vietnam, daarmee verdubbelde hij de
inzet van de VS overheid en de FBI hem tot zwijgen te brengen……..

De FBI
begon overigens al met het onderzoeken en dwarsbomen van King in
1955, je kan dan ook niet anders concluderen dan dat King werd gezien als een
staatsvijand in de ogen van FBI en de opvolgende regeringen destijds…..
Vooral de corrupte psychopaat Hoover, hoofd van de FBI had het niet
op met King en dat heeft hij meermaals laten weten…. In de ogen van
Hoover was King een communist…..

De
schrijver van het hieronder opgenomen artikel Matt Agorist, stelt
volkomen terecht dat King ook heden ten dage als een gevaarlijke en
invloedrijke staatsvijand zou zijn behandeld, dat zijn Facebook
pagina al lang verwijderd zou zijn geweest (plus zijn Twitteraccount,
Ap.) en hij te maken zou hebben met censuur en zeker zou zijn gedemoniseerd door de reguliere massamedia in de VS….

Lees het
artikel van Agorist en geeft het door, veel te veel mensen in
Nederland hebben de foute idee dat het allemaal wel goed zit in de VS
wat betreft de behandeling van gekleurden….. Bovendien zijn er hele volksstammen die
geloven dat de sociale media alleen maar kul en poezenfilmpjes laten
zien, terwijl juist daar het echte nieuws is te vinden en waar de betekenis van
dat nieuws wordt gebracht. Intussen lopen de reguliere massamedia braaf aan de
leiband van hun rijke meesters, grote bedrijven en regeringen,
waarbij men geen schroom heeft fake news en desinformatie te brengen,
om zo het volk achter de machthebbers en rustig te houden…… Zelfs
de illegale oorlogen van de VS (en haar terreurorganisatie NAVO) tegen Afghanistan, Irak, Libië en
Syrië worden door de media verdedigd als was het motief
medemenselijkheid, waar het in werkelijkheid gaat om massamoorden en het veilig stellen van westerse belangen, zoals de olieproductie, waarbij alleen deze eeuw al meer dan 2,5
miljoen mensen om het leven werden gebracht…….

Het volgende artikel komt van The Free Thought Porject en werd zoals gezegd geschreven door Matt Agorist (mijn excuus, bij plaatsing vergeten The Free Thought Project te noemen): 

If
Dr. King Was Alive Today, His Facebook Page Would Be Deleted, And
He’d Be Censored

Martin
Luther King Jr.’s pro-peace and antiwar stance would have made him an
enemy to today’s establishment and he would have been censored.


Afbeeldingsresultaat voor If Dr. King Was Alive Today, His Facebook Page Would Be Deleted, And He’d Be Censored

By Matt
Agorist
 January
21, 2019

When
most people think of the great man, born Michael King on January
15, 1929, they see an advocate for peace, who is celebrated by the US
government — honored every year in January, on the third Monday.

However,
what the government tells us and what this great man did are two
separate stories and had Dr. King been alive today, he would have
been an enemy to the establishment who would have made every move
they could to silence him.

Dr.
King’s position as the leader of the Civil Rights Movement began
after his election as spokesman for the Montgomery Improvement
Association in December of 1955. What also started in that 
December
of 1955 
was
the FBI’s investigation into him.

Like
all those who stand against government-sanctioned violence, Dr. King
was an enemy of the state. The fact that he’s celebrated today by
the same state that persecuted him is quite Orwellian.

According
to a report out of Stanford University titled, 
Martin
Luther King, Jr. and the Global Freedom Struggle
,
the FBI had it out for Dr. King as soon as he began making waves.

The
U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) began monitoring Martin
Luther King, Jr., in December 1955, during his involvement with
the 
Montgomery
bus boycott
,
and engaged in covert operations against him throughout the 1960s.
FBI director J. Edgar Hoover was personally hostile toward King,
believing that the civil rights leader was influenced by Communists.
This animosity increased after April 1964, when King called the FBI
‘‘completely ineffectual in resolving the continued mayhem and
brutality inflicted upon the Negro in the deep South’’ (King, 23
April 1964). Under the FBI’s domestic counterintelligence program
(COINTELPRO) King was subjected to various kinds of FBI surveillance
that produced alleged evidence of extramarital affairs, though no
evidence of Communist influence.

With
a state that owes its very existence to the monopoly it holds on the
use of violence, anyone who is pro-peace is a potential threat. This
was the case in the 20th century just as it is the case in
the 21st century. The fact that Americans take off of work one day in
January, does not negate the reality that this struggle continues.

In
fact, the government is still very engaged in fighting the antiwar
and pro-peace narrative King so eloquently espoused. And they have no
qualms talking about this in the open.

After deleting
the pages
 of
hundreds of antiwar and pro-peace media and activist outlets in
October, last week, Facebook
 made
another giant move to silence.
 This
time, they had no problem noting that they went after pages whose
specific missions were “anti-corruption” or “protest”
movements.

Some
of the Pages frequently posted about topics like 
anti-NATO
sentiment, protest movements, and anti-corruption
,”
Facebook’s head of cybersecurity policy, Nathaniel Gleicher wrote
in the blog post. “We are 
constantly
working to detect and stop this type of activity
 because
we don’t want our services to be used to manipulate people.”

Matt Agorist@MattAgorist

Facebook purged hundreds more pages today. This time, they claim it is folks who are “anti-corruption” and who “protest” who are the problem. To the ministry of truth, standing against criminal politicians is now deemed a crime. Shit is getting serious.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/facebook-shuts-hundreds-of-pages-linked-to-russias-sputnik/?fbclid=IwAR3Qzycn0Qw_cx0KSOFwOgma0Ok5x7_jvZ2ki5353n5cstZEh7vtXRApZ_s

7:10 PM – Jan 17, 2019

Make
no mistake, because Dr. King broke through the divisive paradigm and
bridged the gap between different cultures so well, he would
undoubtedly been a target of these tech giant censors who aim to keep
you divided. The 
Atlantic
Council
 would
have likely had a special committee devoted to solely silencing his
“dangerous” talks of peace.

Like
Dr. King, however, many activists of today are unafraid of speaking
truth to power, even when faced with police action and censorship.

Like
the activists of today, Dr. King’s activism was often met with
brutal backlash from police. Just like the protesters of today, who
peacefully march in solidarity to end police violence and war, the
protesters of the 50s and 60s were met with violence from the police.

Attacks
against non-violent protesters are nothing new. In the 60s, as the
marches increased, so did the attacks against non-violent
demonstrators.

There
may be some tear gas ahead. But I say to you today, that I’d rather
die on the highways of Alabama, than make a butchery of my
conscience,”
 said
Dr. King in his famous speech just prior to the Selma-Montgomery
march in which protesters were met with such violence from police
that the day would be forever remembered as 
“Bloody
Sunday.”

The
first march took place on March 7, 1965, and it gained the
nickname “Bloody Sunday” after its 600 marchers were attacked at
the Edmund Pettus Bridge after leaving Selma; state troopers and
county posse attacked the unarmed marchers with billy clubs and tear
gas.

Does
this type of police reaction to protests sound familiar?

Dr.
King was no stranger to police and being arrested, in fact, during
his 12-year run as the leader of the civil rights movement, 
he
was arrested 30 times.

Today,
there is a good chance Dr. King would be referred to as a ‘thug’
by a large portion of society — and police — for his activism. 

Dr.
King, like many of the protesters of today, stood against state
violence and war. Those who wage the wars and initiate the violence,
delegating a single day in January to honor a man who stood
against their very tactics, is defamatory to this struggle for peace,
to say the least.

So,
while you are out there today, enjoying the day off, remember that
this struggle is far from over. There are countless individuals
continuing to try to live in the way Dr. King advocated for and who
face constant bombardment from the establishment for doing so.

As
long as innocence is lost to those who claim to protect it, the
conflict remains. As long as people of all races are harassed,
kidnapped, locked in cages or killed over victimless crimes, our
strife will persist.

Not
until the corruptions ceases, not until all the troops are
brought home, not until a person can do with their own body as they
see fit, not until the brute force changes to compassion, will the
perpetual struggle of Dr. King and all those before and after him, be
complete.

Peace
is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we
arrive at that goal.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

Spread
the love

GET
OUT”: BLACK FAMILIES HARASSED IN THEIR OWN HOMES

File:We want white tenants.jpg

(foto uit 1942, er is intussen maar weinig veranderd in de VS…..)

JANUARY
10, 2019
 FRIENDS
OF GREED 3
HATE
CRIMES
PROPUBLICARACISM

United
States (
ProPublica)
 In
Delano, Minnesota, 
a
black family’s home was broken
 into
in March 2017 and a warning was spray-painted on the walls: “Get
out.” The vandals left a note, too: “Next time it’s going to be
fire.”

In
Athens, Tennessee, the white mother of young biracial children
alleged that she’d been harassed verbally by a neighbor for a year.

For
close to two years, ProPublica has been compiling reports of hate
crimes and bias incidents as part of 
our
Documenting Hate project
.
The database now houses a vast compendium of ugliness in America.
Killings, assaults, threats of terror — they are all there.

One
of the more common entries involves people being harassed or
threatened at their place of residence, often by neighbors, the
people who live next door or down the hall or around the corner. Of
course, this isn’t new. The integration of neighborhoods in the
U.S. has been as fraught as the integration of the country’s
schools.

Jeannine
Bell, a lawyer and author of “Hate Thy Neighbor: Move-In Violence
and the Persistence of Racial Segregation in American Housing,”
said no corner of the country has any claim of immunity from the
problem. She also noted that the total number of such incidents is
not reliably captured in any formal data set, ours or those kept by
federal and local authorities. That’s because, she said, many of
these incidents go unreported.

A
lot of times, the people that are targeted don’t even know that
this is a crime,” Bell said.

The
Documenting Hate database has close to 6,000 entries — a mix of
news reports, tips, personal stories of bigotry and records collected
by law enforcement and some anti-discrimination groups. Among the
most common things reported are anti-Muslim acts, which accounted for
359 entries, and swastikas showing up in public places, which were
the subject of an additional 400 or so.

More
than 300 entries were reports of harassment or menacing at people’s
homes, targeting people of a variety of races and religions. The most
frequent victims were African Americans. Indeed, African Americans
are the most frequently victimized group nationally for hate crimes,
according to data from the FBI.

That
finding prompted us to send inquiries to the dozen or so police
jurisdictions that had reported the highest number of anti-black hate
crimes to the FBI’s hate-crime database from 2010 to 2016. Since we
couldn’t get incident reports from every one of those
jurisdictions, we also made requests to several police departments
where we’d received data that included anti-black hate crimes.

In
total, we were able to identify 639 incidents of anti-black violence
or harassment from the police reports we received. More than a fifth
of those reports, 138 in all, were incidents involving people being
targeted by neighbors or in their homes.

In
Columbus, Ohio, a man went to police because someone had been ringing
his doorbell or banging on his garage 25 to 30 times a night, almost
every night. When the man went outside, the suspect would call him
racial slurs from the darkness. The man and his family are the only
black residents of their cul-de-sac. No arrests were made and the
case is currently listed as inactive.

In
Toledo, at the north end of the state, a man was allegedly harassing
three black neighbors in his neighborhood, using “unwarranted
racist language,” according to the police report. One day, the
suspect saw a car with black occupants throw trash on the street.
Even though they had no relation to anyone on the block, the suspect
came over and dumped trash on a black family’s lawn, the report
said. “Since you all want to nigger up the neighborhood, I’ll
burn you and your nigger family out,” he allegedly told the victim.
Police went to the suspect’s home, but he didn’t answer the door.
A call to the Toledo police to check on the case was not returned.

In
Kansas City, Missouri, an African-American man went to police because
his neighbor had harassed him for three years. The suspect allegedly
stood in his driveway taking pictures of his home and waved a
Confederate flag. The man who filed the complaint wound up moving,
but he told police he was worried because he’d seen the man outside
his new home.

In
Oxford Township, Michigan, a couple — a white woman and a black man
— went to police because they said they couldn’t leave the house
without getting harassed by their neighbor, who called them racial
slurs. When police gave the neighbor a citation for disorderly
conduct, she ripped it up in front of the officer. She was
subsequently arrested for disorderly conduct and her case was turned
over to the local prosecutor’s office.

And
in Spokane, Washington, we got records on two cases of possible
neo-Nazis harassing their black neighbors. In one case, the neighbors
reported that a man with a swastika on his hand called them racial
slurs. He allegedly threw a brick at a woman, calling her a slur. In
another case, a black man said his white supremacist neighbor and
another man assaulted him in his garage while using racial slurs and
threatened him with a gun. “Nigger, you don’t deserve to be
breathing white men’s air,” they allegedly said. Later, the white
supremacist allegedly returned with two other men and yelled “heil
the KKK” and “white power” at the man, shortly before shooting
a gun at his home from a car. The victim told
The 
Spokesman-Review that
one of the suspects had called him racial slurs for months leading up
to the shooting.

According
to the Spokane Police Department, both cases resulted in arrests and
the suspects were charged with first-degree assault and malicious
harassment. In the shooting case, suspect Donald Prichard’s
criminal history record totals to 16 felony convictions,
which 
included
beating and sexually assaulting a woman.
 He’s
awaiting trial on Jan. 22. The second suspect in that case, Jason
Cooper, has 12 felony convictions, including unlawful possession of a
weapon and burglary, and he is awaiting trial on Feb. 25.

Many
accounts, both in our database and that resulted from our queries to
police departments, include frustration at what can seem like a lack
of police interest or action. In the case of the family targeted in
Delano, no one was ever arrested, and the family wound up moving
away. The mother in Athens said police told her there was little they
could do about verbal harassment, that it was a civil matter. The
authorities in Athens didn’t return a request for comment.

That
said, we did find examples where the authorities ultimately took
serious steps.

In
Grapevine, Texas, Dante Petty was harassed by his white neighbor,
Glenn Halfin, for over a year after he moved in. The harassment
became so persistent that he installed surveillance cameras outside
his home and a police officer was stationed outside for over a month.
The breaking point occurred when his neighbor left black baby dolls
with nooses around their necks hung outside his apartment.
Ultimately, Halfin was charged with a hate crime and convicted of
violating the family’s housing rights. He was sentenced to year in
state prison, the maximum punishment based on his guilty plea to the
misdemeanor charge.

No
one should be afraid to go home at night,” said U.S. Attorney Erin
Nealy Cox 
on
the day of Halfin’s sentencing.
 Victims
of such harassment at their residences, it turns out, have an option
other than going to the local police. Harassing one’s neighbor also
violates the federal Fair Housing Act, which makes it illegal for
landlords and neighbors to interfere with someone’s right to
housing based on who they are. And there is an office at the
Department of Housing and Urban Development meant to handle such
cases.

Victims
can file a complaint with HUD within a year of the alleged violation.
Owners, managers and condominium associations may be liable for
neighbor-on-neighbor harassment if they fail to intervene when they
have a duty to do so. Criminal penalties can include fines and
prison.

According
to HUD statistics, there were 8,348 complaints of such violations in
2015, 8,350 in 2016 and 8,186 in 2017. Half or more of those cases
dealt with alleged violations involving people with disabilities. The
HUD statistics show that, historically, very few of the complaints of
any kind wound up with federal prosecutions.

The
number of prosecutions has gotten appreciably smaller in recent
years. In 2015, the Department of Justice closed 84 cases brought to
it by HUD regarding the Fair Housing Act. In 2016, there were only
12. In 2017, there were just five.

Calls
for comment from HUD were not returned because of the federal
government shutdown.

Meanwhile,
as the second year of Documenting Hate came to a close, reports kept
coming in.

In
June 2018, Hubert Roberts, of Clio, Michigan, complained to police
that his truck had been targeted by racists. A Nazi symbol was spray
painted on the truck, along with slurs and boasts of white pride. The
Genesee County Sheriff’s Office would not comment on the case,
other than to say no arrests have been made. When asked about the
current status of the case, the FBI told ProPublica, “Adhering to
DOJ policy, the FBI neither confirms nor denies investigations.”

Roberts
said that this wasn’t the first time he was targeted in the
community because of his race, either. He noted other instances of
being called racist comments, where he was told to “go back to
Africa,” while doing work on his yard.

This
could have been an opportunity for some dialogue in this
predominantly white community,” Roberts said. “I just feel really
disappointed with our justice system.”

Britse militaire geheime dienst bedient zich van moddergooien en andere manipulaties om Europese en VS politiek te manipuleren, zo blijkt uit gelekte documenten

Max
Blumenthal en Mark Ames hebben op Gray Zone een uitgebreid artikel
geschreven over de gelekte documenten waaruit blijkt dat de Britse
militaire geheime dienst zich bedient van moddergooien en andere
manieren om het publieke debat te beïnvloeden…… Ja, je las het
goed, zaken waarvoor de Britse geheime diensten, de Britse politiek
en de Britse massamedia nu al weer een paar jaar lang met de
vieze vingers naar Rusland wijzen……. 

Het ‘leukst’ van al is wel dat men dit het ‘Integrity Initiative’ noemt…… ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!

Het
zoveelste bewijs dat de westerse bevolkingen keihard worden
voorgelogen met fake news (nepnieuws) en desinformatie door de hiervoor aangehaalde instanties (met hulp van de reguliere media)…. Voorgelogen?
Zeg maar gerust gehersenspoeld! Zo gaat er werkelijk geen dag voorbij
of de BBC demoniseert Rusland (en intussen ook alweer een aantal maanden
lang China)…… Zaken als Russiagate, waar zelfs na twee jaar niet één
bewijs voor kon worden geleverd, worden gepresenteerd als een feit…..
(overigens daaraan maken ook andere reguliere westerse massamedia zich
schuldig, bij ons zelfs de NOS, een ‘onafhankelijke
zendgemachtigde’, al even ‘onafhankelijk’ als de BBC…….)

Nogmaals
waar men Rusland van beschuldigt doet men zelf op grote schaal (of zo de waard is….)…….
Het gaat dan ook al lang niet meer over de waarheid maar om het
aantal mensen dat men weet te overtuigen van pertinente
leugens……..

Beste bezoeker ik moet eerlijk toegeven dat na het lezen van artikelen zoals hieronder is opgenomen, me het gevoel bekruipt dat hier niets tegen te doen is, zeker als je ziet dat men dergelijke schandalige zaken in feite openlijk toegeeft (zo wordt in dit artikel o.a. gesteld dat men in westerse overheden en dan m.n. in de afzonderlijke geheime diensten en rechtse denktanks niets tegen propaganda heeft, zolang het volk maar blijft geloven in alle leugens en manipulaties…..)…. Alsof we al in één grote dictatuur leven…… Vergeet hierbij nogmaals niet dat de brengers van echt nieuws en oprechte journalisten die uitgebreide onderzoeken publiceren, onderzoeken die aangeven hoe de vork werkelijk in de smerige westerse steel steekt, worden afgedaan als brengers van nepnieuws en onzin, waarbij deze journalisten en alternatieve opiniemakers worden aangemerkt als Russische trollen……… (elke kritiek op westerse manipulaties en andere smerige spelletjes, wordt neergezet als anti-westers en pro-Russische propaganda, wat uiteraard een smerige leugen is, een leugen die in de eind 40er en begin 50er jaren van de vorige eeuw thuishoort, waar opperschoft McCarthy in de VS tekeerging tegen iedereen die links en/of tegen VS oorlogsvoering was…..)

New
Documents Reveal a Covert British Military-Intelligence Smear Machine
Meddling In American Politics

INFORMATION
WARS
January
8, 2019

The
Integrity Initiative has mobilized an international disinformation
campaign across Europe. Now, with government and right-wing
foundation money, this massive “political smear unit” is
infiltrating the US.

By
Max Blumenthal and Mark Ames

A
bombshell 
domestic
spy scandal
 has
been unfolding in Britain, after hacked internal communications
exposed a covert UK state military-intelligence psychological warfare
operation targeting its own citizens and political figures in allied
NATO countries under the cover of fighting “Russian
disinformation.”

The
leaked documents revealed a secret network of spies, prominent
journalists and think-tanks colluding under the umbrella of a group
called “Integrity Initiative” to shape domestic opinion—and to
smear political opponents of the right-wing Tory government,
including the leader of the opposition Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn.

Until
now, this Integrity Initiative domestic spy scandal has been ignored
in the American media, perhaps because it has mostly involved British
names. But it is clear that the influence operation has already been
activated in the US. Hacked documents reveal that the Integrity
Initiative is cultivating powerful allies inside the State
Department, top DC think tanks, the FBI and the DHS, where it has
gained access to 
Katharine
Gorka
 and
her husband, the 
fascist-linked cable
news pundit 
Sebastian
Gorka
.

The
Integrity Initiative has spelled out plans to expand its network
across the US, meddling in American politics and recruiting “a new
generation of Russia watchers” behind the false guise of a
non-partisan charity. Moreover, the group has hired one of the most
notorious American “perception management” specialists, John
Rendon, to train its clusters of pundits and cultivate relationships
with the media.

Back
in the UK, Member of Parliament Chris Williamson has clamored for an
investigation into the Integrity Initiative’s abuse of public
money.

The Integrity Initiative story is just growing and growing. Many are rightly outraged that this Tory government could fund a political smear unit.

Questions need to be answered. Share this video on Facebook to make that happen. https://www.facebook.com/1676943375878964/posts/2298507900389172/

2:35 PM – Dec 14, 2018

In
recent
editorial
,
Williamson drew a direct parallel between the group’s collaboration
with journalists and surreptitious payments the CIA made to reporters
during the Cold War.

These
tactics resemble those deployed by the CIA in Operation Mockingbird
that was launched at the height of the cold war in the early 1950s.
Its aims included using the mainstream news media as a propaganda
tool,” Williamson wrote.

They
manipulated the news agenda by recruiting leading journalists to
write stories with the express purpose of influencing public opinion
in a particular way,” the Labour parliamentarian continued. “Now
it seems the British Establishment have dusted off the CIA’s old
playbook and is intent on giving it another outing on this side of
the Atlantic.”

Unmasking
a British military-intelligence smear machine

The
existence of the Integrity Initiative was virtually unknown until
this November, when the email servers of a previously obscure British
think tank called the Institute for Statecraft were hacked, prompting
allegations of Russian intrusion. When the group’s internal
documents appeared at a website hosted by Anonymous Europe, the
public learned of a covert propaganda network seed-funded to the tune
of over $2 million dollars by the Tory-controlled UK Foreign Office,
and run largely by military-intelligence officers.

Through
a series of cash inducements, off the record briefings and all-day
conferences, the Integrity Initiative has sought to organize
journalists across the West into an international echo chamber hyping
up the supposed threat of Russian disinformation—and to defame
politicians and journalists critical of this new Cold War campaign. 

bid
for funding submitted
 by
the Integrity Initiative in 2017 to the British Ministry of Defense
promised to deliver a “tougher stance on Russia” by arranging for
“more information published in the media on the threat of Russian
active measures.”

The
Integrity Initiative has also worked through its fronts in the media
to smear political figures perceived as a threat to its militaristic
agenda. Its targets have included a Spanish Department of Homeland
Security appointee, Pedro Banos, whose nomination was scuttled thanks
a media blitz it secretly orchestrated; Jeremy Corbyn, whom the
outfit and its 
media
cutouts painted
 as
a useful idiot of Russia; and a Scottish member of parliament, Neil
Findlay, whom one of its closest media allies 
accused of
adopting “Kremlin messaging” for daring to protest the official
visit of the far-right Ukrainian politician Andriy Parubiy — the
founder of two neo-Nazi parties and author of a white nationalist
memoir, 
“View
From The Right.”

These
smear campaigns and many more surreptitiously orchestrated by the
Integrity Initiative offer a disturbing preview of the reactionary
politics it plans to inject into an already toxic American political
environment.

Lessons
from “the man who sold the war”

A
newly released Integrity Initiative document reveals that the outfit
plans an aggressive expansion across the US.

The
Integrity Initiative claims to have already established a “simple
office” in Washington DC, though it does not say where. It also
boasts of partnerships with top DC think tanks like the Atlantic
Council, the Center for European Policy Analysis, CNA, and close
relationships with US officials.

A
major hub of Integrity Initiative influence is the State Department’s
Global Engagement Center (GEC), a 
de
facto US government propaganda operation
 that
was established by President Barack Obama to battle online ISIS
recruitment, but which was rapidly repurposed to counter Russian
disinformation following the election of Trump.

The
Integrity Initiative has also 
recruited
one of the most infamous American PR men
 to
organize its clusters of journalists and political figures.

He
is John Rendon, best known as 
“The
Man Who Sold The War”
 —
several wars, in fact, but most notoriously the Iraq invasion. Rendon
was the self-described “information warrior” who planted fake
news in the major US-UK media about non-existent WMD threats. With
deep ties to the CIA and other military-intelligence agencies, his PR
firm was paid $100 million to organize and sell Ahmed Chalabi’s
Iraqi National Congress. In 2002, the New York Times 
exposed a
Pentagon program using Rendon to plant “disinformation” —
including “false stories” and “the blackest of black PR” —
in media outlets around the world, in order to shape public opinion
and sell the Iraq invasion.

Journalist James
Bamford
 outlined
a catalogue of disinformation feats Rendon performed for the
Pentagon, such as identifying “the biases of specific journalists
and potentially obtain an understanding of their allegiances,
including the possibility of specific relationships and
sponsorships.” Bamford also found proposals and programs Rendon was
involved in that aimed to “’coerce’ foreign journalists and
plant false information overseas… [and] find ways to ‘punish’
those who convey the ‘wrong message.’”

These
tactics seem particularly relevant to his work with the Integrity
Initiative, especially considering the internal documents that
reveal further Rendon-style plans to produce reports and studies to
be 
“fed
anonymously into local media.”
 (Among
the outlets listed as friendly hosts in Integrity Initiative internal
memos are Buzzfeed and El Pais, the center-left Spanish daily.)

Keeping
up with the Gorkas

Internal
documents also refer to interactions between Integrity Initiative
Director Chris Donnelly and top Trump officials like 
Katharine
Gorka
,
a vehemently anti-Muslim Department of Homeland Security official, as
well as her husband, Sebastian, who earned right-wing fame during his
brief tenure in Trump’s White House.

The
latter Gorka is an 
open
supporter
 of
the Hungarian Vitezi Rend, a proto-fascist order that collaborated
with Nazi Germany during its occupation of Hungary. Following Trump’s
election victory in 2016, Gorka appeared for televised interviews in
a black Vitezi Rend uniform.

Night

Gorka
was among the first figures listed on an itinerary for Donnelly to
Washington this September

18
to 22. The itinerary indicates that the two had breakfast before
Donnelly delivered a presentation on “Mapping Russian Influence
Activities” at the federally funded military research center, 
CNA.

According
to the itinerary, Donnelly was granted access to Pentagon officials
like 
Mara
Karlin
,
an 
up-and-coming
neoconservative cadre
,
and John McCain Institute executive director 
Kurt
Volker
,
another neoconservative operative who also serves as the US Special
Representative for Ukraine. Numerous meetings with staffers inside
the State Department’s Office of Global Engagement were also
detailed.

A
foreign agent in the State Department?

Of
all the State Department officials named in Integrity Initiative
documents, the one who appeared most frequently was Todd Leventhal.
Leventhal has been a staffer at the State Department’s Global
Engagement Center, boasting of “20 years of countering
disinformation, misinformation, conspiracy theories, and urban
legends.” In an April 2018 Integrity Initiative memo, he is listed
as a current team member:

Funded
to the tune of $160 million this year to beat back Russian
disinformation with “counter-propaganda,” the State Department’s
Global Engagement Center 
has
refused to deny
 targeting
American citizens with information warfare of its own. “My old job
at the State Department was as chief propagandist,” 
confessed former
Global Engagement Center Director Richard Stengel. “I’m not
against propaganda. Every country does it and they have to do it to
their own population and I don’t necessarily think it’s that
awful.”

At a Council on Foreign Relations forum about “fake news,” former Editor at Time Magazine Richard Stengel directly states that he supports the use of propaganda on American citizens – then shuts the session down when challenged about how propaganda is used against the third world

1,290 8:42 PM – May 11, 2018


Like
so many of the media and political figures involved in the Integrity
Initiative’s international network, the Global Engagement Center’s
Leventhal has a penchant for deploying smear tactics against
prominent voices that defy the foreign policy consensus.
Leventhal 
appeared
in an outtake
 of
a recent NBC documentary on Russian disinformation smugly explaining
how he would take down a 15-year-old book critical of American
imperialism in the developing world. Rather than challenge the book’s
substance and allegations, Leventhal boasted how he would marshall
his resources to wage an ad hominem smear campaign to destroy the
author’s reputation. His strategic vision was clear: when
confronting a critic, ignore the message and destroy the messenger.

Integrity
Initiative documents reveal that Leventhal has been paid $76,608
dollars (60,000 British pounds) for a 50% contract.

While
those same documents claim he has retired from the State Department,
Leventhal’s own 
Linkedin
page
 lists
him as a current “Senior Disinformation Advisor” to the State
Department. If that were true, it would mean that the State
Department was employing a de facto foreign agent.

As
a cut-out of the British Foreign Office and Defense Ministry, the
Integrity Initiative’s work with current and former US officials
and members of the media raises certain legal questions. For one,
there is no indication that the group has registered under the
Justice Department’s Foreign Agent Registration Act, as most
foreign agents of influence are required to do.

Grants
from the neocons’ favorite foundation

An
Integrity Initiative memo states that the right-wing Smith Richardson
Foundation (SRF) has also committed to ponying up funding for its US
network as soon as the group receives 501 c-3 non-profit status. The
foundation has already provided it with about $56,000 for covert
propaganda activities across Europe.

The
Smith Richardson Foundation has old ties to the US intelligence
community and controversial cold war influence operations. According
to reporter 
Russ
Bellant
,
the foundation was secretly bankrolling radical right-wing
“indoctrination campaigns for the American public on cold war and
foreign policy issues”— programs that got the attention of
Senator William Fulbright, who warned then-President Kennedy of their
dangers. At one of these indoctrination seminars, a Smith Richardson
Foundation director “told attendees that ‘it is within the
capacity of the people in this room to literally turn the State of
Georgia into a civil war college,’ in order to overcome their
opponents.”

Smith
Richardson has funded a who’s who of the neoconservative movement,
from hyper-militaristic think tanks like the American Enterprise
Institute and the Institute for the Study of War. “To say the
[Smith Richardson] foundation was involved at every level in the
lobbying for and crafting of the so-called global war on terror after
9/11 would be an understatement,” 
wrote journalist
Kelley Vlahos.

Besides
Smith Richardson, the Integrity Initiative has stated its intention
to apply for grants from the State Department “to expand the
Integrity Initiative activities both within and outside of the USA.”
This is yet another indicator that the US government is paying for
propaganda targeting its own citizens.

Main
Event” in Seattle

An
Integrity Initiative internal 
document argues
that because “DC is well served by existing US institutions, such
as those with which the Institute [for Statecraft] already
collaborates,” the organization should “concentrate on extending
the work of the Integrity Initiative into major cities and key State
capitals [sic] across the USA.”

This
December 10, the Integrity Initiative organized what it called its
“main event” in the US. It was a conference on disinformation
held in Seattle, Washington 
under
the auspices
 of
a data firm called Adventium Labs. Together with the Technical
Leadership Institute at the University of Minnesota, the Integrity
Initiative listed Adventium Labs as one of its “first partners
outside DC.”

Adventium
is Minneapolis-based research and development firm that has reaped
contracts from the US military, including a 
recent
$5.4 million cyber-security grant
 from
the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA.

Inside
a modest-sized hotel conference room, the Adventium/Integrity
event 
began
with a speech
 by
the Integrity Initiative’s Simon Bracey-Lane. Two years prior,
Bracey-Lane appeared on the American political scene as a field
worker for Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential primary run, earning
media write-ups as the 
“Brit
for Bernie.”
 Now,
the young operator was back in the US as the advance man for a
military-intelligence cut-out that specialized in smearing left-wing
political figures like Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour leader widely
regarded as the British version of Sanders.

Bracey-Lane
opened his address by explaining that Integrity Initiative director
Chris Donnelly had been unable to appear at the event, possibly
because he was bogged down in the scandal back home.


He
proceeded to read remarks prepared by Donnelly that offered a window
into the frighteningly militaristic mindset the Integrity Initiative
aims to impose on the public through their media and political
allies.

According
to Donnelly’s comments, the West was no longer in a “peace time,
rules based environment.” From the halls of government to corporate
boardrooms to even the UK’s National Health System, “the
conclusion is that we have to look for people who suit a wartime
environment rather than peacetime.”

During
Q&A, Bracey-Lane remarked that “we have to change the
definition of war to encompass everything that war now encompasses,”
referring vaguely to various forms of “hybrid warfare.”

There
is a great deal to be done in communicating that to young people,”
he continued. “When we mean being at war we don’t mean sending
our boys off to fight. It’s right here in our homes.”

The
emphasis on restructuring society along martial lines mirrored the
disturbing thinking also on display in 
notes
of a private meeting
 between
Donnelly and Gen. Richard Barrons in 2016. During that chat, the two
officers decided that the British military should be removed from
democratic supervision and be able to operate as “an independent
body outside politics.”

While
Bracey-Lane’s presentation perfectly captured the military mindset
of the Integrity Initiative, the speakers that followed him offered a
diverse array of perspectives on the concept of disinformation, some
more nuanced than others. But one talk stood out from the rest —
not because of its quality, but because of its complete lack thereof.

Reanimating
the “red-brown” grifter

Alexander
Reid Ross (left) and Emmi Bevensee at the Integrity Initiative’s
“main event” in Seattle

The
presentation was delivered by Alexander Reid Ross, a half-baked
political researcher who peddles computer-generated spiderweb
relationship charts to prove the existence of a vast hidden network
of “red-brown” alliances and “syncretic media” conspiracies
controlled by puppeteers in Moscow.

Ross
is a lecturer on geography at Portland State University with no
scholarly or journalistic credentials on Russia. His students
have 
given
him dismal marks
 at
Rate My Professors, complaining about his “terrible monotone
lectures” and his penchant for “insert[ing] his own ideologies
into our class.” But with a book, “Against the Fascist Creep,”
distributed by the well-known anarchist publishing house, AK Press,
the middling academic has tried to make his name as a maverick
analyst.

Before
the Integrity Initiative was exposed as a military-intelligence front
operation, Ross was among a small coterie of pundits and self-styled
disinformation experts that 
followed the
group’s Twitter account. The Integrity Initiative even retweeted
his smear of War Nerd podcast co-host John Dolan.

Replying to @BenjaminNorton

So this means both the Alliance for Securing Democracy and the Integrity Initiative are bankrolled by Western governments.

What other prominent groups monitoring “disinformation” and “protecting democracy” (by blaming all our problems on Russia) are also funded by Western govs?

In
a series of articles for the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) last year,
Ross attempted to bring his warmed-over Cold War theories to the
broader public. He wound up trashing everyone from the co-author of
this piece, Max Blumenthal, to Nation magazine publisher Katrina
Vanden Heuvel to Harvard University professor of international
relations Stephen Walt as hidden shadow-fascists secretly controlled
by the Kremlin.

The
articles ultimately 
generated
an embarrassing scandal
 and
a series of public 
retractions by
the editor-in-chief of the Southern Poverty Law Center, Richard
Cohen. And then, like some Dr. Frankenstein for discredited and
buried journalism careers, the British Ministry of Defense-backed
Integrity Initiative moved in to reanimate Ross as a sought-after
public intellectual.

Before
the Integrity Initiative-organized crowd, Ross offered a rambling
recitation of his theory of a syncretic fascist alliance puppeteered
by Russians: “The alt right takes from both this ‘red-brown,’
it’s called, or like left-right syncretic highly international
national of nationalisms, and from the United States’ own
paleoconservative movement, and it’s sort of percolated down
through college organizing, um, and anti-interventionism meets
anti-imperialism. Right?”

In
a strange twist, Ross appeared on stage at the Integrity Initiative’s
Seattle event alongside 
Emmi
Bevensee
,
a contributor to the left-libertarian Center for a Stateless Society
(C4SS) think tank, whose tagline, “a left market anarchist
think-tank” expresses its core aim of uniting far-left anarchists
with free-market right-libertarians.

Bevensee,
a PhD candidate at the University of Arizona and self-described
“Borderlands anarcho into tech and crypto,” concluded her
presentation by asserting a linkage between the alternative news
site, Zero Hedge, and the “physical militarized presence in the
borderlands” of anti-immigrant vigilantes. Like Bevensee, Ross
has 
written
for
 C4SS
in the past.

The
irony of contributors to an anarchist group called the “Center for
a Stateless Society” auditioning before The State – the most
jackbooted element of it, in fact – for more opportunities to
attack anti-war politicians and journalists, can hardly be
overstated.

But
closer examination of the history of C4SS veers from irony into
something much darker and more unsettling.

Pedophile
co-founder, white nationalist associates

C4SS
was co-founded in 2006 by a confessed 
child
rapist
 and
libertarian activist, Brad Spangler, who set the group up to promote
“Market anarchism” to 
“replace
Marxism on the left.”

When
Spangler’s child rape confessions emerged in 2015, the Center for
Stateless Society founder was 
finally
drummed out
 by
his colleagues.

There’s
more: Spangler’s 
understudy and deputy in
the C4SS, Kevin Carson — currently listed as the group’s 
“Karl
Hess Chair in Social Theory”
 —
turned out to be a longtime friend and

Kevin Carson defending his neo-Nazi bro Keith Preston http://web.archive.org/web/20080512130910/http://www.theartofthepossible.net/2008/03/13/libertarianism-and-liberalism-what-went-wrong/#comment-283

The
C4SS group currently 
participates in
the annual Koch-backed International Students For Liberty conference
in Washington DC, 
LibertyCon, a
who’s who of libertarian think-tank hacks and Republican Party
semi-celebrities like Steve Forbes, FCC chairman Ajit Pai, and Alan
Dershowitz.

In
2013, C4SS’s Kevin Carson tweeted out his dream fantasy that four
Jewish leftists — Mark Ames, Yasha Levine, Corey Robin, and Mark
Potok — would die in a plane crash while struggling over a single
parachute. Potok was an executive editor at the Southern Poverty Law
Center, which last year retracted every one of the crank articles
that Alexander Reid Ross published with them and 
formally
apologized
 for
having run them.

For
some reason, the super-sleuth Ross conveniently failed to investigate
the libertarian group, C4SS, that he has chosen to partner with and
publish in. That ability to shamelessly smear and denounce leftists
over the most crudely manufactured links to the far-right —  while
cozying up to groups as sleazy as C4SS and authoritarian as the
Integrity Initiative — is the sort of adaptive trait that MI6 spies
and the Rendon Group would find useful in a covert domestic influence
operation.

Ross
did not respond to our request for comment on his involvement with
the Integrity Initiative and C4SS.

Disinformation
for democracy

As
it spans out across the US, the Integrity Initiative has 
stated
its desire
 to
“build a younger generation of Russia watchers.” Toward this
goal, it is supplementing its coterie of elite journalists, think
tank hacks, spooks and State Department info-warriors with
certifiable cranks like Ross.

Less
than 24 hours after Ross’s appearance at the Integrity Initiative
event in Seattle, he 
sent
a menacing email
 to
the co-author of this article, Ames, announcing his intention to
recycle an old and discredited smear against him and publish it in
the Daily Beast — a publication that appears to enjoy a 
special
relationship

with Integrity Initiative personnel.

Despite
the threat of investigation in the UK, the Integrity Initiative’s
“network of networks” appears to be escalating its covert,
government-funded influence operation, trashing the political left
and assailing anyone that gets in its way —  all in the name
of fighting foreign disinformation.

We
have to win this one,” Integrity Initiative founder Col. Chris
Donnelly 
said,
“because if we don’t, democracy will be undermined.”

Bekroond journalist verlaat NBC vanwege de kritiekloze steun voor eindeloos oorlogvoeren door de VS

William
M. Arkin, een bekroond journalist van NBC, verlaat deze zender uit
frustratie over het redactionele beleid, waarmee oorlogsvoering uit en te na wordt
verdedigd en waar kritiek op dit oorlogvoeren op z’n zachtst gezegd,
niet wordt geaccepteerd.

Caitlin
Johnstone schreef een artikel over het vertrek van Arkin en de
redenen die hij daarvoor heeft gegeven, zij stelt volkomen terecht
dat deze houding van NBC overal te vinden is in de reguliere
massamedia van de VS. Waar ik aan toe zou willen voegen dat dit voor
de hele westerse reguliere media geldt, waar men middels ‘fake news’ en andere desinformatie de westerse illegale oorlogsvoering in het Midden-Oosten en (Noord-) Afrika verdedigt. Deze houding heeft desastreuze gevolgen…….

Neem
alleen al het zogenaamde vluchtelingenprobleem, een probleem dat door
de VS en haar NAVO partners is veroorzaakt middels het voeren van die illegale
oorlogen, waar dezelfde reguliere massamedia deze illegale oorlogen verdedigen en het
argument dat het westen zelf verantwoordelijk is voor dit ‘vluchtelingenprobleem’, afdoen als kul en
desinformatie, terwijl de bewijzen toch echt overweldigend zijn…… Kortom: deze media gebruiken precies datgene waar ze degenen van beschuldigen die stellen dat deze illegale oorlogen vluchtelingenstromen opgang brengen: het gebruik van nepnieuws en andere desinformatie….

Men
slaat niet voor niets op de vlucht als je ziet dat in de illegale
oorlogen die de VS met hulp van andere NAVO partners (waaronder Nederland) is begonnen, alleen deze eeuw al 2,5 miljoen mensen zijn vermoord en landen als Afghanistan, Irak, Libië en Syrië in puin zijn gebombardeerd….. Waarbij de eerste 3 landen in grote chaos verkeren…… Echter  het Nederlandse ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken ziet het anders en middels haar falende en valse ambtsberichten stelt dit ministerie dat deze landen veilig zijn voor de vluchtelingen, waar Libië voor BuZa nog een uitzondering is, zelfs het ministerie kan niet met droge ogen beweren dat daar alles pais en vree is……* Wat betreft vluchtelingen ui Libie, die zijn er niet veel ondanks dat dit land onevenredig hard is getroffen door westerse terreur…. 

In totaal zouden sinds 2011 een aantal van 5.400 Libiërs het land zijn ontvlucht (waaronder een groot aantal Toearegs, die onder Khadaffi deel uitmaakten van het leger en die na hun vlucht in Mali de boel op de kop hebben gezet), voorts zouden er meer dan 300.000 mensen ontheemd zijn in eigen land (lijkt me een veel te laag aantal)……. Te vrezen valt dan ook dat de oorlogsheren in Libië het achtergebleven volk dermate goed weten te controleren, dat vluchten een hachelijke zaak is……. Het voorgaande zegt dan ook voldoende over de vluchtelingen die uit de rest van Afrika komen en die vanaf Libië de oversteek naar Europa wagen, ofwel diezelfde oorlogsheren beheersen zelfs deze vluchtelingstromen……

Reporter
Quits NBC Citing Network’s Support for Endless War

Afbeeldingsresultaat voor Reporter Quits NBC Citing Network’s Support for Endless War

January
3, 2019 at 7:10 am

Written
by 
Caitlin
Johnstone

(CJ Opinion) — A
journalist with NBC has resigned from the network with a statement
which highlights the immense resistance that ostensibly liberal mass
media outlets have to antiwar narratives, skepticism of US military
agendas, and any movement in the opposite direction of endless
military expansionism.

January
4 is my last day at NBC News and I’d like to say goodbye to my
friends, hopefully not for good,” begins an email titled ‘My
goodbye letter to NBC’ sent to various contacts by William M Arkin,
an 
award-winning
journalist
 who
has been associated with the network for 30 years.

This
isn’t the first time I’ve left NBC, but this time the parting is
more bittersweet, the world and the state of journalism in tandem
crisis,” the email continues. “My expertise, though seeming to be
all the more central to the challenges and dangers we face, also
seems to be less valued at the moment. And I find myself completely
out of synch with the network, being neither a day-to-day reporter
nor interested in the Trump circus.”

The lengthy
email
 covers
details about Arkin’s relationship with NBC and its staff, his
opinions about the mainstream media’s refusal to adequately
scrutinize and criticize the US war machine’s spectacular failures
in the Middle East, how he “argued endlessly with MSNBC about all
things national security for years”, the fact that his position as
a civilian military analyst was unusual and “peculiar” in a media
environment where that role is normally dominated by “THE GENERALS
and former government officials,” and how he was “one of the few
to report that there weren’t any WMD in Iraq” and remembers
“fondly presenting that conclusion to an incredulous NBC editorial
board.”

A
scholar at heart, I also found myself an often lone voice that was
anti-nuclear and even anti-military, anti-military for me meaning
opinionated but also highly knowledgeable, somewhat akin to a movie
critic, loving my subject but also not shy about making judgements
regarding the flops and the losers,” he writes.

Arkin
makes clear that NBC is in no way the sole mass media offender in its
refusal to question or criticize the normalization of endless
warfare, but that he feels increasingly “out of sync” and “out
of step” with the network’s unhesitating advancement of military
interventionist narratives. He writes about how Robert Windrem, NBC
News’ chief investigative producer, convinced him to join a new
investigative unit in the early days of the 2016 presidential race.
Arkin writes the following about his experience with the unit:

I
thought that the mission was to break through the machine of
perpetual war acceptance and conventional wisdom to challenge Hillary
Clinton’s hawkishness. It was also an interesting moment at NBC
because everyone was looking over their shoulder at Vice and other
upstarts creeping up on the mainstream. But then Trump got elected
and Investigations got sucked into the tweeting vortex, increasingly
lost in a directionless adrenaline rush, the national security and
political version of leading the broadcast with every snow storm. And
I would assert that in many ways NBC just began emulating the
national security state itself — busy and profitable. No wars
won but the ball is kept in play.

I’d
argue that under Trump, the national security establishment not only
hasn’t missed a beat but indeed has gained dangerous strength. Now
it is ever more autonomous and practically impervious to criticism.
I’d also argue, ever so gingerly, that NBC has become somewhat lost
in its own verve, proxies of boring moderation and conventional
wisdom, defender of the government against Trump, cheerleader for
open and subtle threat mongering, in love with procedure and protocol
over all else (including results). I accept that there’s a lot to
report here, but I’m more worried about how much we are missing.
Hence my desire to take a step back and think why so little changes
with regard to America’s wars.”

Arkin
is no fan of Trump, calling him “an ignorant and incompetent
impostor,” but describes his shock at NBC’s reflexive opposition
to the president’s “bumbling intuitions” to get along with
Russia, to denuclearize North Korea, to get out of the Middle East,
and his questioning of the US military’s involvement in Africa.

I’m
alarmed at how quick NBC is to mechanically argue the contrary, to be
in favor of policies that just spell more conflict and more war.
Really? We shouldn’t get out Syria? We shouldn’t go for the bold
move of denuclearizing the Korean peninsula? Even on Russia, though
we should be concerned about the brittleness of our democracy that it
is so vulnerable to manipulation, do we really yearn for the Cold
War? And don’t even get me started with the FBI: What? We now
lionize this historically destructive institution?”

There’s
a saying about consultants, that organizations hire them to hear
exactly what they want to hear,” Arkin writes in the conclusion of
his statement. “ I’m proud to say that NBC didn’t do that when
it came to me. Similarly I can say that I’m proud that I’m not
guilty of giving my employers what they wanted. Still, the things
this and most organizations fear most — variability,
disturbance, difference — those things that are also the
primary drivers of creativity — are not really the things that
I see valued in the reporting ranks.”

That’s
about as charitably as it could possibly be said by a skeptical
tongue. Another way to say it would be that plutocrat-controlled and
government-enmeshed media networks hire reporters to protect the
warmongering oligarchic status quo upon which media-controlling
plutocrats have built their respective kingdoms, and foster an
environment which elevates those who promote establishment-friendly
narratives while marginalizing and pressuring anyone who doesn’t.
It’s absolutely bizarre that it should be unusual for there to be a
civilian analyst of the US war machine’s behaviors in the
mainstream media who is skeptical of its failed policies and nonstop
bloodshed, and it’s a crime that such voices are barely holding on
to the fringes of the media stage. Such analysts should be extremely
normal and commonplace, not rare and made to feel as though they
don’t belong.

* De vluchtelingen uit Syrië kunnen intussen geen kant meer op, Turkije wil ze niet, waar militairen en grenswachten zelfs over de grens heen schieten op vluchtelingen…. De bestaande vluchtelingen uit Syrië zitten voor een groot deel vast in Turkse ‘opvangkampen’, mede als gevolg van de tegen het VN Vluchtelingenverdrag ingaande vluchtelingendeal met de EU (en 6 miljard euro aan EU belastinggelden), kampen die niets anders zijn dan gevangenissen… Voor westerse waarnemers en politici die deze vluchtelingen bezoeken, heeft Turkije een paar modelkampen……
