“The Clinton Chronicles,” a documentary film
by Citizens for Honest Government, introduced by Celia Farber
(1:43:14)
I watched this a few days ago, and
some things fell into place.
It was, for the last 35 years or so,
unseemly to hold the view that the Clintons were genuine, shock level
criminals. Drugs, money laundering, corruption, and elimination of witnesses on
a scale so vast it had to become impossible to believe. Since
it was. “Unbelievable.”
Americans did not and could not
believe it. And with this we were helped, by the fog machines. (Media. Punditry.)
All evidence that mounted, year in
year out, scandal in, scandal out, somehow only added up to: “Crazed right
wingers really can’t let go of their Clinton conspiracy theories.”
DAMMIT.
This is how the sorcerers do it: The
crimes are plain as day. Those
who speak of the crimes get murdered. Those who think these people are getting
murdered for what they know are designated as paranoiacs who don’t belong in
polite society.
In the end, the sphere and space
that gets so carefully tended to is the space where
the thoughts about the Clinton crimes go to dwell. That space gets managed,
manipulated, branded and re-named, persistently. Over the years, anybody who
thinks the “wrong” way about the Clinton’s crimes and murders, feels a little
dirty, in some hard to describe way.
Porcine.
Right wing.
Because the places where it all came
out, we were told, were…places where anti-Clinton “Republicans” congregated. Backward people. Not winners.
Anti-Hillary-ism too became part of
the PSY OP, so that all could be designated as backward people who could not
tolerate the sight of a “strong woman” on the big political stage.
They created political theater where
instead of being properly assessed as a criminal Hillary was “hated” which
created a perfect escape route for her documented crimes. Nobody wanted to be a
Hillary “hater.” As for Bill, he was re-written into a man with a strong
libido, charming as anything, who liked the ladies a little too much.
Ken Starr, Lewinsky and all that.
That was the absolute least of
it.
The Clinton Body Count became a
joke, which everybody knew was also not at all a joke. (Here’s Greg Reese’s “The
Clinton Body Count, Part 1”
from 2019.)
In this way, by all these ways of
misdirection, strange lighting, theatrical confusion, and guilt by association,
America became a completely criminal society. Before Obama.
Before Larry
Sinclair.
This documentary contains the
blueprint for how America became a criminal society, how the criminality became
entrenched.
Now the documentary is allowed to
exist on YouTube, for some reason. Now that it’s too late.
Rest In
Peace Gary Webb. Also: “Gary Webb was right.” . . . .

Class
Dear Colleagues and Friends of
CEIMSA,
One Marxian axiom found in the
foundational structure of the theory of Historical Materialism is the notion
that “material conditions determine ideas more than ideas determine material
conditions.” This axiom itself is a falsifiable idea, which might be proven or
disproven in specific historical contexts.
Another useful academic instrument
is borrowed from the discipline of Communication Theory: namely, all
information can be identified as "a difference that makes a
difference," while a difference that makes no difference is defined as
being no more than "noise."
We at CEIMSA once again present -with this our eleven-hundred-and-thirty-fifth bulletin- contemporary
essays and articles taken from the English-language social media which now, in late March and early April, represent ideas circulating in Anglophone milieux around the world.
The 26+ items below offer
readers the opportunity to look behind the symbols and signs here presented and
to determine for themselves the material conditions which give rise to these
ideas, and to evaluate whether they represent bonafied
information ("a difference that makes a difference") or simply
constitute "noise".
The Marxian method of Dialectical
Materialism should
help us free ourselves from the terminal received ideas of "politically
correctness" and "conspiracy theory" – two categories originating from authoritarian sources which are
used to support today’s ruling-class agenda of wars, depopulation, and the
accumulation of more private profits
resulting in deadly inequalities.
Sincerely,
Francis McCollum Feeley

“Rule by
Criminals: When Dissidents Become Enemies of the State”
https://off-guardian.org/2024/04/02/rule-by-criminals-when-dissidents-become-enemies-of-the-state/
by John & Nisha
Whitehead
“In these days of worldwide confusion,
there is a dire
need for men and women who
will
courageously do battle for truth.”
-- Martin Luther King Jr
When exposing a crime is treated
as committing a
crime, you are being ruled by criminals.
In the
current governmental climate, obeying one’s conscience and speaking truth to
the power of the police state can easily render you an “enemy of the state.”
The
government’s list of so-called “enemies of the state” is growing by the day.
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is merely one of the most visible victims of the police state’s war
on dissidents and whistleblowers.
Five years
ago, on April 11, 2019, police arrested Assange for daring to access and disclose military documents that portray
the U.S. government and its endless wars abroad as reckless, irresponsible,
immoral and responsible for thousands of civilian deaths.
Included among the leaked materials was gunsight video footage from two U.S. AH-64 Apache helicopters engaged in a series of air-to-ground attacks
while American air crew laughed at some of the casualties. Among the casualties were two Reuters correspondents who were gunned down after their cameras were mistaken for weapons and a driver who stopped to help one of the journalists. The driver’s two children, who happened to be in the van at the time it was fired upon by U.S. forces, suffered serious injuries.
There is
nothing defensible about crimes such as these perpetrated by the government.
When any
government becomes almost indistinguishable from the evil it claims to be
fighting—whether that evil takes the form of war, terrorism, torture, drug
trafficking, sex trafficking, murder, violence, theft, pornography, scientific
experimentations or some other diabolical means of inflicting pain, suffering
and servitude on humanity—that government has lost its claim to legitimacy.
These are
hard words, but hard times require straight-talking.
It is easy to
remain silent in the face of evil.
What is harder—what
we lack today and so desperately need—are those with moral courage who will
risk their freedoms and lives in order to speak out against evil in its many
forms.

“‘Wiki-Gate”:
Julian Assange Was Framed by the People Who Supported
Him”
by Prof Michel Chossudovsky
(53:39)
Author’s Note
and Update
We must act
decisively in support and in solidarity with Julian Assange.
In this
regard, we must understand the history: On how Assange
was betrayed and misled by those who allegedly supported him.
In October
2021, the U.S. government began a legal challenge to extradite Julian Assange from the U.K. “to face charges of violating the
Espionage Act”.
The U.K. Supreme Court turned down Assange’s
appeal to “prevent his extradition to the United States”.
On April 20,
2022, a U.K magistrates court formally approved the
extradition of Julian Assange to the US “on espionage
charges”.
… it
will be revealed whether Julian Assange’s appeal in the
British courts against being extradited to the US
succeeds or not during a two-day hearing, which is scheduled to take place in
London on Tuesday and Wednesday [February 20, 21, 2024], The Guardian reported.
In a meeting organized by the Foreign Press Association, his wife,
Stella, warned that he could be put on a plane to the US within days if the
appeal fails, fearing his death if he is extradited. This is the final chance
for Assange to challenge then-former Home Secretary Priti Patel’s decision in June 2022 for an extradition.” (Al Mayadeen)
The
International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) and the European Federation of
Journalists (EFJ) have confirmed that “the prosecution of Assange
represents a global threat to
media freedom.”
“The ongoing
prosecution of Julian Assange jeopardizes media freedom
everywhere in the world,” the IFJ and EFJ said in a joint statement.

“Julian Assange
wins temporary reprieve in case against extradition to US”
https://informationclearinghouse.blog/2024/03/26/julian-assange-wins-temporary-reprieve-in-case-against-extradition-to-us/
by Haroon Siddique
Julian Assange has been handed a reprieve in his fight against
extradition to the US after two judges ruled the WikiLeaks
founder could take his case to an appeal hearing – but only if the Biden
administration is unable to provide the court with suitable assurances.
The president
of the king’s bench division, Victoria Sharp, and Mr
Justice Johnson said Assange had real prospects of
success on three of the nine grounds argued, but adjourned the leave to appeal
application to give the US government three weeks to provide reassurance on the
relevant matters.
If Assange had been denied permission to appeal he could have been
extradited within days to face espionage charges. While the judges’ decision
means he avoids that fate it leaves him facing a further wait, with his future
still unresolved.
In a written
judgment, handed down on Tuesday morning, Sharp said the
concerns that had real prospects of success at appeal but which “may be capable
of being addressed by assurances” were “that the applicant [Assange]
is permitted to rely on the first amendment, that the applicant is not
prejudiced at trial, including sentence, by reason of his nationality, that he
is afforded the same first amendment protections as a United States citizen,
and that the death penalty is not imposed”.
At a two-day
hearing last month, which Assange was too unwell to
attend, his lawyers
argued that he faced a “flagrant denial of justice” if
extradited to the US to face charges relating to the publication by Assange and WikiLeaks of
thousands of classified and diplomatic documents they said had exposed torture,
rendition, extrajudicial killings and war crimes.
His wife,
Stella Assange, expressed dismay at the judges’
decision. “What the courts have done has been to invite a political
intervention from the United States … send a letter saying ‘its
all OK’,” she said. “I find this astounding.
“This case is
a retribution. It is a signal to all of you that if
you expose the interests that are driving war they will come after you, they
will put you in prison and will try to kill you.
“The Biden
administration should not issue assurances. They should drop this shameful case
that should never have been brought.”
Ahead of the
decision there had been reports that the
US government was considering a plea deal offer to Assange, allowing him to admit to a misdemeanour,
which would enable him to walk free from prison in the UK but his lawyers said
they had been “given no indication” Washington intended to change its approach.

“UK Legal
Shambles in Case of Assange”
https://consortiumnews.com/2024/03/30/craig-murray-uk-legal-shambles-in-case-of-assange/
by Craig Murray
The latest judgment by the High Court in the Julian Assange case achieved completely the objectives of the U.K.
and U.S. states.
Above all,
Julian remains in the hell which is Belmarsh maximum
security prison. He is now safely there alone and incommunicado, from the
authorities’ point of view, for at least several more months.
Importantly,
the United States has managed to keep him detained without securing his actual
appearance in Washington.
It is crucial
to grasp that the C.I.A., who are very much controlling the process, do not
actually want him to appear there until after their attempt to secure the
re-election of Genocide Joe.
No matter
what your opinion of Donald Trump, there is no doubt the C.I.A. conspired
against him during his entire presidency, beginning with the fake Russiagate scandal and ending with their cover-up of the
Hunter Biden laptop story. They do not want Trump back.
Biden is
politically in deep trouble. Biden’s lifelong political support for Israel has
been unwavering to the point of fanaticism. In the process he has collected
millions of dollars from the Zionist lobby. That always seemed a source of
political strength in the United States, not of weakness.
The current
genocide in Gaza has changed all those calculations. The sheer evil and
viciousness of the Israeli state, the open and undisguised enthusiasm for
racist massacre, has achieved the seemingly impossible task of turning much
American public opinion against Israel.
That is
particularly true among key elements of the Democratic base. Young people and
ethnic minorities have been shocked that the party they have supported is
backing and supplying genocide.
The
mainstream media have lost control of the narrative, when the truth is so
widely available on mobile phones, to the point that the MSM have actually been
forced to change course and occasionally tell truths about Israel. That also
was unthinkable a few months ago.

by Prof Michel Chossudovsky
Today, March
22, 2024, our thoughts are with the people of Syria.
Thirteen
years ago:
At the outset
of the US-NATO war on Syria in March 2011, so-called “progressives” have
supported the so-called “opposition”, which is largely made up of Al Qaeda
affiliated mercenaries.
A US-NATO led

“Israel and
the U.S. are Gangster States”
A view of the damaged vehicle carrying World Central Kitchen workers in Deir al-Balah, Gaza on April 2. Photo: Ali Jadallah/Anadolu via Getty Images
https://www.blackagendareport.com/israel-and-us-are-gangster-states
by Margaret Kimberley
Any sign of even tiny opposition is enough to send Israel into a frenzy of bloodletting. Hospital attacks, murders of aid workers, violations of the sovereignty of embassies, are all par for the Zionist course. Friends in Washington talk out of both sides of their mouths with condemnation but always end on the side of their partner in crime.
Every war crime committed by the state of Israel, no matter how horrific, is logical if one considers a few basic facts. First, one of Israel’s goals is to ethnically cleanse Gaza. They have to kill thousands of people in increasingly brutal ways, terrorize the survivors, and turn hospitals and universities and mosques and churches into military targets. The end game is to force the population out of Gaza and make it safe for Israeli settlers, gas exploration, and the construction of a canal to replace the Suez. Even the building of a pier to bring in humanitarian aid is a trojan horse meant to send Gaza’s population far away and expand the settler colony’s territory.
Because its idea of success is anathema to most of humanity, Israel is always fearful that the degree of fealty shown by the United States, its chief protector and partner in crime, may waiver. It doesn’t matter how many candidates for office grovel before the American Israel Political Action Committee (AIPAC), it doesn’t matter that Joe Biden circumvents congress to give them weapons or insists on aiding and abetting them, or that he joins in telling lies about beheaded babies or other tales of atrocity propaganda. It doesn’t matter that the state colludes with corporate media to defend Israel and marginalizes anyone who doesn’t go along with the scheme. Nor are they relieved when deep pocketed billionaires have university presidents axed from their positions as heads are symbolically stuck on pikes as a warning to anyone who might stray from official narratives. Israel will always be worried, because it is only the United States protection racket that allows it to exist in its current form.
So what to do when the United States merely abstains from a United Nations vote requiring an all too brief two-week ceasefire? Israel then accelerates its criminality. Israel laid siege to the Al-Shifa hospital and killed doctors, nurses and patients. Some 300 dead bodies were discovered there, some of them bound, dumped, or crushed by Israeli tanks. As forces withdrew from the hospital, Israeli Defense Force missiles struck the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria and killed seven people, two of them generals in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The Vienna Convention is supposed to protect embassies and consulates but why should Israel or its benefactor the U.S. follow international law when they so often violate it with impunity? These acts weren’t sufficient for the Zionist entity. It needed another symbol, another high profile killing to guarantee that its putative sponsor still knows who is in charge.
Spanish-born chef José Andrés' charity, World Central Kitchen , drew the short end of this stick in this phase of the Israeli crime spree. Seven aid workers traveling in a three vehicle convoy in Gaza were killed in drone strikes. One vehicle was hit, the second was hit after attempting to rescue passengers in the first car, and the third was hit after trying to rescue those in the second vehicle. To their credit, Palestinians believe in showing those who have been killed, and the bodies were displayed for all the world to see, lest Israel be able to minimize the carnage.
José Andrés was an interesting choice as a target. He had vehemently and publicly defended Israel, and condemned a minister of the Spanish government who pointed out that Israel was committing war crimes. “You do not represent me or Spain. She does not deserve to be a minister….President@sanchezcastejon should remove her from her position…”
Andrés received a $100 million gift from Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, is a friend of Barack and Michelle Obama, and joined Doug Emhoff , Kamala Harris’ husband, in announcing a new food program in the U.S. Perhaps this official imprimatur made his organization an easy target. How better to prove one’s status as the worst thug in the neighborhood than to show that no one is safe. Andrés is now a critic and demands that Israel stop the “indiscriminate killing.” Of course the killings of his staff were targeted with great precision. There was nothing indiscriminate about the assassinations.

“State Dept Says Parts of Gaza Likely
Experiencing Famine”
https://news.antiwar.com/2024/03/29/state-dept-says-parts-of-gaza-likely-experiencing-famine/
by Kyle Anzalone
Israel has
blocked aid deliveries into the besieged territory, causing a man-made
humanitarian crisis .
A State
Department official said that there is a “significant risk” of mass starvation
throughout Gaza, and some regions of the Strip are “quite possibly” already in
a state of famine. Millions of Palestinians are on the brink of starvation as a
result of Israel’s brutal six-month military assault and a blockade on aid
entering the Strip.
Speaking with
Reuters, an unnamed State Department official said, “While we can say with
confidence that famine is a significant risk in the south and center but not
present, in the north, it is both a risk and quite possibly is present in at
least some areas.”
The
official’s assessment matches a warning put out by the international watchdog
on starvation. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) released a new
report last week predicting famine in Gaza will begin
within the next two months. For a famine to be declared, at least two per
10,000 people must be dying of deprivation each day.
“The latest
evidence confirms that famine is imminent in the northern governorates of the
Gaza Strip and projected to occur anytime between mid-March and May 2024,” the
IPC report found. “The entire population in the Gaza Strip (2.23 million) is
facing high levels of acute food insecurity. This includes half of the
population in IPC Phase 5 (Catastrophe), an increase of 530,000 people (92
percent) from the previous analysis.”
The starvation
is worse in northern Gaza, where hundreds of thousands are struggling to
survive. On Sunday, the UN aid agency for Palestinians, UNRWA, announced that Tel
Aviv would not allow shipments of food or other assistance into the area.
Human rights
groups have labeled the famine in Gaza a manufactured crisis caused by the
Israeli war and tight restrictions on aid. In a report earlier this month,
Oxfam blasted Tel Aviv for obstructing aid deliveries, including medical
supplies. The report says, “Israel’s policies and practices continue to
systematically and deliberately block and undermine any meaningful
international humanitarian response.” The report added that “Israel’s control
of Gaza continues to be characterized by deliberate restrictive actions that
have led to a severe and systemic dysfunctionality in
the delivery of aid.”
Israel has
taken several steps to prevent aid from entering Gaza, including an onerous
inspection regime that creates massive delays. Additionally, Israeli forces
have attacked aid shipments and the police officers escorting supplies
throughout Gaza.

(1:02:18)
As Israel’s genocide in Gaza rages
on, Germany is leading efforts to silence criticism of Israel's actions. The
German government and its institutions have cancelled a stream of cultural
events that show solidarity with Palestine, smearing prominent artists and
intellectuals – many of them Jewish – as anti-semitic.
They’ve intimidated activists and searched their homes. They’ve even made
cultural grants – and in the case of one German state, citizenship – contingent
on support for Israel. And now, German politicians are trying to ban the
Palestine Congress, a vital event planned for the 12-14 April in Berlin, to
unite activists for a ceasefire in Gaza. How successful have these clampdowns
been in hindering activism for Palestine? What are the
underlying factors propelling the authoritarian stance of German politicians,
and how does this relate to the country’s Nazi history? And as we move into the
European elections, what might this repression mean for Germany, for other countries
in Europe, and for the plight of the Palestinian people? Our panel, including Yanis Varoufakis, and Karin De Rigo and Lucas Febraro from
Berlin, investigate. Join us live and have your say!

“Usual Suspects US and Ukraine Behind Moscow
Terrorist Attack”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/usual-suspects-us-ukraine-behind-moscow-terrorist-attack/5852968
by Joachim Hagopian
Last Friday
evening of March 22nd, a horrific terrorist attack at the Crocus
City Hall concert venue near Moscow murdered at least 133
Russian people, with over 120 more wounded. Within
the first 24-hours after this egregious violence, Russian authorities arrested
and detained eleven potential suspects that included the four alleged terrorist
gunmen. In his address to the nation, President Vladimir Putin said that the
terrorists were captured in Bryansk, Russia near the Ukraine border attempting
to escape through “a window” provided by Ukrainian collaborators. In Putin’s words:
They [terrorist] tried to hide and moved towards Ukraine, where,
according to preliminary data, a window was prepared for them on the Ukrainian
side to cross the state border.
Thus, within hours the Russian leader was linking this act of terrorism
to the Kiev government and by implication, Washington. Additionally, too many
US fingerprints, unable to be covered up, are now rapidly emerging from this
crime scene.
Back on March 7th, more than two weeks prior to this tragedy, US
intelligence already knew of a potential attack in Moscow, enough for the US
State Department to issue a public advisory to Americans in Russia, warning
personnel at both the US and UK embassies of a probable terrorist attack in
Moscow at “large public gatherings including concerts.” A day later on March 8th,
Reuters reported:
The U.S. embassy in Russia warned that ‘extremists’ had imminent plans
for an attack in Moscow, hours after Russian security services said they had
foiled a planned shooting at a synagogue by a cell from the Afghan arm of
Islamic State.
Apparently, the March 7th US intelligence details warning of
an imminent potential attack at a Moscow concert were never passed on or shared
with Russian security services, which according to former CIA operative Larry
Johnson is standard international protocol. Shortly after the attack, Russian
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova responded:
If Washington had information, it should be shared and
that if Washington had no
information, it should not be talking in such a way.
So apparently in this exceptional case, the US elected to break
international spook practice by allowing political issues [once again] to
interfere with the CIA decision to withhold such vital information of an
imminent terror attack that would have saved 133 Russian lives. This in and of
itself is both morally reprehensible and potentially criminal as an accomplice
to international terrorism, aka the Gladio operations
of the 1970s through the 1980s. Within a couple hours after the attack, both
the US government reported and ISIS via an alleged Telegram disclosure claimed
responsibility for terrorism at the Moscow concert. The ISIS statement posted
on Telegram late last Friday night:
Islamic State fighters attacked a large gathering of Christians in the
city of Krasnogorsk on the outskirts of the Russian
capital, Moscow, killing and wounding hundreds and causing great destruction to
the place before they withdrew to their bases safely.
And like clockwork also late on Friday night of March 22nd from
Reuters:
The United States has intelligence confirming Islamic State’s claim of
responsibility for a deadly shooting at a concert near Moscow, two U.S.
officials said on Friday.
White House National Security Council (NSC) spokeswoman Adrienne Wilson stated:
Earlier this month, the U.S. government had information about a planned
terrorist attack in Moscow – potentially targeting large gatherings, to include
concerts – which prompted the State Department to issue a public advisory to
Americans in Russia… [Washington] has forwarded this
information to the Russian authorities.

“ISIS-K: the
ultimate can of worms”
https://informationclearinghouse.blog/2024/03/26/isis-k-the-ultimate-can-of-worms/17/
by Pepe Escobar
Let’s start
with the possible chain of events that may have led to the Crocus terror
attack. This is as explosive as it gets. Intel sources in Moscow discreetly
confirm this is one of the FSB’s prime lines of investigation.
December 4,
2023. Former chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, Gen Mark Milley, only 3 months after his
retirement, tells CIA mouthpiece The Washington Post: “There should be no
Russian who goes to sleep without wondering if they’re going to get their
throat slit in the middle of the night (…) You gotta
get back there and create a campaign behind the lines.”
January 4,
2024: In an
interview with ABC News, “spy chief” Kyrylo Budanov lays down the road map: strikes “deeper
and deeper” into Russia.
January 31: Victoria Nuland
travels to Kiev and meets Budanov. Then, in a dodgy
press conference at night in the middle of an empty street, she promises “nasty
surprises” to Putin: code for asymmetric war.
February 22: Nuland
shows up at a Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) event and
doubles down on the “nasty surprises” and asymmetric war. That may be
interpreted as the definitive signal for Budanov to
start deploying dirty ops.
February 25: The New York Times publishes
a story about CIA cells in Ukraine: nothing that Russian intel does not already know.
Then, a lull until March 5 – when crucial shadow play may have been in
effect. Privileged scenario: Nuland was
a key dirty ops plotter alongside the CIA and the Ukrainian GUR (Budanov). Rival Deep State factions got hold of it and
maneuvered to “terminate” her one way or another – because Russian intel would have inevitably
connected the dots.
Yet Nuland, in fact, is not “retired” yet; she’s still
presented as Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs and showed up
recently in Rome for a G7-related meeting, although her new job, in theory,
seems to be at Columbia University (a Hillary Clinton maneuver).
Meanwhile,
the assets for a major “nasty surprise” are already in place, in the dark, and
totally off radar. The op cannot be called off.
March 5: Little Blinken
formally announces Nuland’s “retirement”.
March 7: At least one Tajik among the
four-member terror commando visits the Crocus venue and has his photo taken.
March 7-8 at night: U.S. and British embassies simultaneously
announce a possible terror attack on Moscow, telling their nationals to avoid
“concerts” and gatherings within the next two days.
March 9: Massively popular Russian patriotic
singer Shaman performs at Crocus. That may have been the carefully chosen
occasion targeted for the “nasty surprise” – as it falls only a few days before
the presidential elections, from March 15 to 17. But security at Crocus was
massive, so the op is postponed.
March 22: The Crocus City Hall terror attack.
ISIS-K: the
ultimate can of worms
The Budanov connection is betrayed by the modus operandi –
similar to previous Ukraine intel terror attacks
against Daria Dugina and
Vladimir Tatarsky: close reconnaissance for days,
even weeks; the hit; and then a dash for the border.
And that
brings us to the Tajik connection.
There seem to
be holes aplenty in the narrative concocted by the ragged bunch turned mass
killers: following an Islamist preacher on Telegram; offered what was
later established as a puny 500 thousand rubles (roughly $4,500) for the four
of them to shoot random people in a concert hall; sent half of the funds via
Telegram; directed to a weapons cache where they find AK-12s and hand grenades.
The videos
show that they used the machine guns like pros; shots were accurate, short
bursts or single fire; no panic whatsoever; effective use of hand grenades;
fleeing the scene in a flash, just melting away, almost in time to catch the
“window” that would take them across the border to Ukraine.
All that takes training. And that also applies to facing
nasty counter-interrogation. Still, the FSB seems to have broken them all –
quite literally.
A potential
handler has surfaced, named Abdullo Buriyev. Turkish intel
had earlier identified him as a handler for ISIS-K, or Wilayat
Khorasan in Afghanistan. One of the members of the
Crocus commando told the FSB their “acquaintance” Abdullo
helped them to buy the car for the op.
And that
leads us to the massive can of worms to end them all: ISIS-K.
The alleged
emir of ISIS-K, since 2020, is an Afghan Tajik, Sanaullah
Ghafari. He was not killed in Afghanistan in June
2023, as the Americans were spinning: he may be currently holed up in Balochistan in Pakistan.
Yet the real
person of interest here is not Tajik Ghafari but
Chechen Abdul Hakim al-Shishani, the former leader of
the jihadi outfit Ajnad al-Kavkaz (“Soldiers of the Caucasus”), who was fighting
against the government in Damascus in Idlib and then
escaped to Ukraine because of a crackdown by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) – in another one of those classic
inter-jihadi squabbles.
Shishani was spotted on the border near Belgorod during the recent
attack concocted by Ukrainian intel
inside Russia. Call it another vector of the “nasty surprises”.
Shishani had been in Ukraine for over two years and has acquired
citizenship. He is in fact the sterling connection between the nasty motley crue Idlib gangs in Syria and GUR
in Kiev – as his Chechens worked closely with Jabhat
al-Nusra, which was virtually indistinguishable from
ISIS.
Shishani, fiercely anti-Assad, anti-Putin and anti-Kadyrov, is the classic “moderate rebel” advertised for
years as a “freedom fighter” by the CIA and the Pentagon.
Some of the
four hapless Tajiks seem to have followed
ideological/religious indoctrination on the internet dispensed by Wilayat Khorasan, or ISIS-K, in a
chat room called Rahnamo ba
Khuroson.
The
indoctrination game happened to be supervised by a Tajik, Salmon Khurosoni. He’s the guy who made the first move to recruit
the commando. Khurosoni is arguably a messenger
between ISIS-K and the CIA.
The problem
is the ISIS-K modus operandi for any attack never features a fistful of
dollars: the promise is Paradise via martyrdom. Yet in this case it seems it’s Khurosoni himself who has
approved the 500 thousand ruble reward.
After handler
Buriyev relayed the instructions, the commando sent
the bayat
– the ISIS pledge of allegiance – to Khurosoni.
Ukraine may not have been their final destination. Another foreign intel connection – not identified
by FSB sources – would have sent them to Turkey, and then Afghanistan.
That’s
exactly where Khurosoni is to be found. Khurosoni may have been the ideological mastermind of
Crocus. But, crucially, he’s not the client.

“The Role of Turkey and Idlib in the Moscow Attack”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/role-turkey-idlib-moscow-attack/5853108
by Steven Sahiounie
The road to
the Crocus Center in Moscow began in Turkey, as one of
the attackers confessed who killed 143 concert goers and injured more than 150
on Friday night. Russia has said the all the attackers have been captured on
their way to Ukraine in an effort to escape.
A message on the social media,
Telegram, claims responsibility for the attack by the Islamic State Khorasan (IS-K).
The US media reports that the US
government had warned Russia of a possible attack being planned by the IS-K.
The deadly attack is just days old, and a thorough investigation is needed, but
what is clear: the road to the attack began in Turkey, and was part of a
Radical Islamic revival sponsored by Turkish President Recep
Tayyip Erdogan.
One of the attackers has confessed
that he arrived in Russia from Turkey, and was radicalized there by an Islamic
cleric. The confessor is a citizen of Tajikistan in central Asia. Turkey had
been a secular government following the political ideology championed by the
father of Turkey, Ataturk, who asked his nation in the aftermath of WWI to look
to the west and become modern, while turning away from the east and old
traditions which Ataturk saw as an obstacle to cultural and economic progress.
But, Erdogan
was a follower of a political form of Islam, which is termed Radical Islam.
Under the decades of Erdogan rule in Turkey, the
society has turned backwards to the east, and embraced a non-secular trend. Erdogan claimed that the Turkish people are the descendants
of ancient ethnic groups in central Asia. Places, like Tajikistan
became recognized as ‘brothers’ to the Erdogan
regime.
Members of IS-K
and Al Qaeda from the Central Asian republics
can legally reside and work in Turkey, successfully infiltrating the local
society. They patiently await commands from their clerics to carry out
terrorist attacks, adeptly navigating security measures. Istanbul’s
Basaksehir, is a favorite haven for Uzbek, Tajik, and
Turkmen migrants.
The US-NATO
attack on Syria began in 2011 for the purpose of regime change.

“Who Is
Behind the Crocus City Hall Terrorist Attack?”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/who-behind-crocus-city-hall-terrorist-attack/5853113
by Drago Bosnic
On March 22,
at around 20:00 Moscow Time, a horrendous terrorist attack occurred at the Crocus
City Hall in Krasnogorsk, a small
city in the Moscow oblast (region), just west/northwest outside of the city
limits of Russia’s capital.
Four terrorists directly carried out the mass
shooting, while some were filmed cutting the throats of
unarmed civilians.
As of this
writing, the death toll was 137 killed and over 180 wounded. The total tally
could be worse, as dozens of people are critically injured and may not survive
in the following days.
The attack
left Russia and the world in shock. Despite the ongoing NATO-orchestrated
conflict in Ukraine, the country has been largely safe from such attacks.
The FSB and
other relevant services have prevented hundreds of similar attempts over the
years, meaning that the latest terrorist attack certainly has elements that are
not consistent with the usual pattern.
Some in the
political West, as well as the
foreign-backed opposition in Russia, are
accusing the FSB of supposed “incompetence”, obviously trying to use the
tragedy for political purposes.
However, Russian services promptly
arrested the attackers and detained at least 11 other suspects, preventing some
of them from reaching the border with Ukraine.
It’s rather peculiar that the
terrorists chose to leave Russia in such a way, especially considering that
it’s effectively impossible to cross the border between the two countries due
to the ongoing conflict.
Thus, the involvement of the Neo-Nazi
junta is already implied due to this alone.
And yet, that isn’t where the
evidence for this hypothesis stops. The monstrous
glee over the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack shown by the
top-ranking Kiev regime officials is not only disturbing, but makes them the prime
suspects in the ongoing investigation as to who organized it.
One such
individual (because calling them “people” would be too much of a stretch) is
the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Oleksiy
Danilov. One of Zelensky’s
closest associates, Danilov has been extremely hawkish
since day one and has openly insisted on launching as
many sabotage and terrorist attacks as possible, regardless
of whether it was against the Russian military or civilians, including in
former Ukrainian territories that joined Russia, meaning
that Danilov doesn’t care if the victims are Russians
or people his government officially considers its own citizens.
In a video
recently published by Zvezda News, Danilov demonstrated the full abomination of his already
deranged personality. . . . .

“Terrorist Attack in Russia: Kiev and Western
Intelligence Involved? Generate Sabotage and Domestic Instability”
by Lucas Leiroz de Almeida
The recent
terrorist attack at the Crocus
City Hall, in the suburbs of Moscow, was
undoubtedly one of the greatest tragedies in the recent history of the Russian
Federation. More than 130 civilians, including several children, were brutally
murdered by gunmen on the night of March 22. The death toll is expected to rise
further, considering that there are several people hospitalized.
The criminals who
participated in the attack have already been captured by Russian security
forces. In total, 11 people were arrested, including the four shooters.
The killers were Tajik immigrants, apparently linked to radical Islamic groups.
They were
arrested on the border of Bryansk oblast while trying to escape into Ukrainian
territory. After interrogation, they said
they were hired via Telegram. The hirers allegedly gave them the weapons used
in the crime and promised a reward of half a million Russian rubles.
Interestingly,
immediately after the attack rumors began to circulate in the Western media
about alleged ISIS responsibility. American newspapers not only accused the
Islamic extremist group, but also emphasized on several occasions that there
was no Ukrainian responsibility for the attack. This
hypothesis, however, seems untrue given the facts so far elucidated during the
investigations.
The killers
clearly worked as mercenaries in the attack. Despite being Islamic radicals, there is no evidence that their work in
the specific case of Crocus City Hall has any connection with this extremist
ideology.
The killers’
modus operandi did not appear to be related to ISIS (a group with which they do
not appear to have any ties). In addition to killing for money, they tried to
escape the place and cross the border into Ukraine, which is not expected from
ISIS’ militants, who almost always carry out suicide attacks in search of
“martyrdom”.

***
Point to
point navigation describes the long-lost art of celestial navigation, the
ability to use the stars to chart a course across the open seas in the age
before compasses. The key to successfully executing point to point navigation
lay in fixing one’s position vis-à-vis the North Star. Failure to do so meant
risking sailing aimlessly about a sea with no fixed reference points, an act
that leads to death or, perhaps worse, becoming a castaway on some unchartered
point on earth.
After a
storm, a ship’s captain and his navigator would scan the skies for the North
Star, from which they could establish not only what direction true north was,
but also where they were in reference to the position of the North Star in the
sky, so that they might navigate to safety.
When special
operations forces are compromised behind enemy lines, they conduct what they
call “escape and evasion,” the act of avoiding detection and probable death or
capture, while making their way to a pre-designated haven from which they can
regroup or be extracted. The CIA trains its operations officers in similar
skill sets. Both colloquially refer to such actions as “finding their true
north.”
The perpetrators
of the horrific attack on the Crocus City Hall and Concert Center in Krasnogorsk, a metropolitan community located to the
northwest of Moscow, were no different than any other terrorist/militant before
them; after their act of mass murder, they sought out their “true north” to
make good their escape.
Western
governments, analysts, and pundits have loudly proclaimed that the men who
carried out the attack on the Crocus City Hall had nothing whatsoever to do
with Ukraine, and instead have collectively embraced a narrative that paints
the men as members of the Islamic State-Khorasan
(ISIS-K). ISIS is an off-shoot of Al-Qaeda-Iraq (AQI) which emerged in 2013
when core AQI members relocated to Syria. In 2014 ISIS declared itself to be a
caliphate and began a series of operations which saw it take control on a third
of Syria and a quarter of Iraq before being driven back and ultimately defeated
by a coalition which included Iraq, the United States and Iran.
In 2014
Central Asian fighters affiliated with Al Qaeda in Afghanistan formed a branch
of ISIS in Afghanistan known as ISIS-K, where they stood for Khorasan (ISIS-K). Khorasan is an
ancient term for the territory encompassed by modern day Iran, Turkmenistan,
and Afghanistan. ISIS-K continues to operate today in Afghanistan and
Iran, as well as inside the former Soviet Central Asian republics, including
Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.

“How CIA and
MI6 Created ISIS”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/how-cia-mi6-created-isis/5853669
by Kit Klarenberg
Contrary to
their mainstream portrayal, as inspired purely by religious fundamentalism, Daesh are primarily guns for hire.
Within just
24 hours of the horrific mass shooting in
Moscow’s Crocus City Hall on March 22nd, which left at least 137 innocent
people dead and 60 more critically wounded, US officials blamed the slaughter
on ISIS-K, Daesh’s South-Central Asian branch.
For many, the
attribution’s celerity raised suspicions Washington was seeking to decisively
shift Western public and Russian government focus away from the actual culprits
– be that Ukraine, and/or Britain, Kiev’s foremost proxy sponsor.
Full details
of how the four shooters were recruited, directed, armed, and financed, and who
by, are yet to emerge. The savage interrogation
methods to which they have been, and no doubt continue to be subjected are
concerned with prising this and other vital
information from them. The killers may end up making false
confessions as a result. In any event, they
themselves likely have no clue who or what truly sponsored their monstrous
actions.
Contrary to
their mainstream portrayal, as inspired purely by religious fundamentalism, Daesh are primarily guns for hire. At any given time, they
act at the behest of an array of international donors, bound by common
interests. Funding, weapons, and orders reach its fighters circuitously, and
opaquely. There is almost invariably layer upon layer of cutouts between the
perpetrators of an attack claimed by the group, and its ultimate orchestrators
and financiers.
Given ISIS-K
is currently
arrayed against China, Iran, and Russia – in other
words, the US Empire’s primary adversaries – it is incumbent to revisit Daesh’s origins. Emerging seemingly out of nowhere just
over a decade ago, before dominating mainstream media headlines and Western
public consciousness for several years before vanishing, at one stage the group
occupied vast swaths of Iraqi and Syrian territory, declaring an “Islamic
State”, which issued its own
currency, passports, and vehicle registration plates.
Devastating
military interventions independently
launched by the US and Russia wiped out that
demonic construct in 2017. The CIA and MI6 were no doubt immensely relieved.
After all, extremely awkward questions about how Daesh
were comprehensively extinguished. As we shall see, the terror group and its
caliphate did not emerge in the manner of lightning on a dark night, but due to
dedicated, determined policy hatched in London and Washington, implemented by
their spying agencies.
‘Continuingly
Hostile’
RAND is a
highly influential, Washington DC-headquartered “think tank”. Bankrolled to
the tune of almost $100 million annually
by the Pentagon and other US government entities, it regularly disseminates
recommendations on national security, foreign affairs, military strategy, and covert
and overt actions overseas. These pronouncements are more often than not
subsequently adopted as policy.
For
example, a July 2016 RAND paper
on the prospect of “war with China” forecast a need to fill Eastern Europe with
US soldiers in advance of a “hot” conflict with Beijing, as Russia would
undoubtedly side with its neighbour and ally in such
a dispute. It was therefore necessary to tie down Moscow’s forces at its
borders. Six months later, scores of NATO troops duly arrived in
the region, ostensibly to counter “Russian
aggression”.
Similarly,
in April 2019 RAND published
Extending Russia. It set out “a range of possible
means” to “bait Russia into overextending itself,” so as to “undermine the
regime’s stability.” These methods included; providing lethal aid to Ukraine;
increasing US support for the Syrian rebels; promoting “regime change in
Belarus”; exploiting “tensions” in the Caucasus; neutralising
“Russian influence in Central Asia” and Moldova. Most of that came to pass
thereafter.
In this
context, RAND’s November
2008 Unfolding The Long War
makes for disquieting reading. It explored ways the US Global War on Terror
could be prosecuted once coalition forces formally left Iraq, under the terms
of a withdrawal
agreement inked by Baghdad and Washington that same
month. This development by definition threatened Anglo dominion over Persian
Gulf oil and gas resources, which would remain “a strategic priority” when the
occupation was officially over.
“This
priority will interact strongly with that of prosecuting the long war,” RAND
declared. The think tank went on to propose a “divide and rule” strategy to
maintain US hegemony in Iraq, despite the power vacuum created by withdrawal.
Under its auspices, Washington would exploit “fault lines between [Iraq’s]
various Salafi-jihadist groups to turn them against
each other and dissipate their energy on internal conflicts”, while “supporting
authoritative Sunni governments against a continuingly hostile Iran”:
“This
strategy relies heavily on covert action, information operations,
unconventional warfare, and support to indigenous security forces…The US and
its local allies could use nationalist jihadists to launch proxy campaigns to
discredit transnational jihadists in the eyes of the local populace…This would
be an inexpensive way of buying time…until the US can return its full attention
to the [region]. US leaders could also choose to capitalize on the sustained Shia-Sunni Conflict…by taking the side of conservative
Sunni regimes against Shiite empowerment movements in the Muslim world.”
‘Great
Danger’
So it was
that the CIA and MI6 began supporting “nationalist jihadists” throughout West
Asia. The next year, Bashar Assad rejected a
Qatari proposal to
route Doha’s vast gas reserves directly to
Europe, via a $10 billion, 1,500 kilometre-long
pipeline spanning Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria and Turkey. As extensively
documented by WikiLeaks-released
diplomatic cables, US, Israeli and Saudi intelligence immediately decided to
overthrow Assad by fomenting a local rebellion, and started
financing opposition groups for the purpose.
This effort
became turbocharged in October 2011, with MI6 redirecting
weapons and extremist fighters from Libya to Syria, in the wake of Muammar
Gaddafi’s televised murder. The CIA oversaw that operation, using the British
as an arm’s length cutout to avoid notifying
Congress of its machinations. Only in June 2013, with
then-President Barack Obama’s official authorisation,
did the Agency’s cloak-and-dagger connivances in Damascus become formalised – and
later admitted – under the title “Timber Sycamore”.
At this time,
Western officials universally
referred to their Syrian proxies as “moderate rebels”.
Yet, Washington was well-aware its surrogates were dangerous extremists,
seeking to carve a fundamentalist caliphate out of the territory they occupied.
An August 2012 US
Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) report released
under Freedom of Information laws observes that events in Baghdad were “taking
a clear sectarian direction,” with radical Salafist
groups “the major forces driving the insurgency in Syria.”
These
factions included Al Qaeda’s Iraqi wing (AQI), and its umbrella offshoot,
Islamic State of Iraq (ISI). The pair went on to form Daesh,
a prospect the DIA report not only predicted, but seemingly endorsed:
“If the
situation unravels, there is the possibility of establishing a declared or
undeclared Salafist principality in eastern
Syria…This is exactly what the supporting powers to the opposition want in
order to isolate the Syrian regime…ISI could also declare an Islamic state
through its union with other terrorist organizations in Iraq and Syria, which
will create great danger.”
Despite such
grave concerns, the CIA inexorably dispatched unaccountably vast shipments of
weapons and money to Syria’s “moderate rebels”, well-knowing this “aid”
would almost
inevitably end up in Daesh’s
hands. Moreover, Britain concurrently ran secret programs costing
millions to train opposition paramilitaries in the art of killing, while
providing medical
assistance to wounded jihadists. London
also donated multiple ambulances, purchased from Qatar, to armed groups in the
country.
Leaked
documents indicate the risk of equipment and trained personnel from these
efforts being lost to Al-Nusra, Daesh,
and other extremist groups in West Asia was judged unavoidably “high” by
British intelligence. Yet, there was no concomitant strategy for countering
this hazard at all, and the illicit programs continued apace. Almost as if
training and arming Daesh was precisely the desired
outcome.

Looks like the USA has more terrorist attacks in the pipeline.
US media is
now preparing the global public that more terror will emerge under the US cover
of “ISIS-K”.
Moscow
rampage reveals ambition, deadly reach of ISIS successor groups
“The Islamic
State quickly claimed responsibility for Friday’s rampage through the Crocus
City Hall concert venue in Krasnogorsk, a few miles
west of central Moscow. U.S. counterterrorism officials believe it was ISIS-K,
specifically, that recruited the four gunmen who fired automatic weapons at
concertgoers before setting fire to the building, killing at least 139 in one
of the deadliest terrorist attacks in the history of modern Russia.
More attacks
may be coming, counterterrorism officials warn. In a development that has been
largely overshadowed by the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, ISIS-K and other
regional groups have been expanding in size and ambition in recent years.” (Joby Warrick, Robyn Dixon and Souad Mekhennet, The Washington Post, March 25,
2024)
This is
typical of US-Western security services. If their cover story and
front-organizations are being revealed, they don’t fold but double down on them
to keep them running.
As doubt
rises in Russia and the world about the “ISIS-K” as the real perpetrator behind
the heinous attack on Crocus City Hall in Moscow, the CIA will organize new
terror inside and outside of Russia to “prove” that “ISIS-K” is a real thing
outside US control. At the same time, the CIA has unleashed the biggest US
mainstream media like Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal to ridicule
Russia and Putin that they couldn’t prevent the attacks and for pointing to the
real western perpetrators behind “ISIS-K”.
US-Ukraine Relations with Islamic Terrorists and the
Crocus Attack.
Read how US
media enjoy Russia being attacked:
Former UK
security insider Alastair Crooke has revealed that “ISIS-K” is an American
creation. Listen to Alastair Crooke explaining that “ISIS-K” is not real but
just a US cover organization:
“The US
‘fighting terror’ is a lie”
(36:29)
Like the US created Taliban, Al Qaeda, Al Nusra, and other
extremist groups, the US created “ISIS-K” to attack US enemies. For the US,
terror is really good, as long as hits US enemies and doesn’t come back to the
USA itself.
At first, it seemed overwhelming to understand that
the US really engages such violent extremism and terrorism – but the trail of
the US on the terror path is overwhelming.

“Twenty-six Things About the
Islamic State (ISIS-ISIL-Daesh) that the U.S.
Government Does Not Want You to Know About”
by Prof Michel Chossudovsky
In recent
developments– barely a few days following the reelection of
Vladimir Putin (October 17, 2024) five Islamic State gunmen
(ISIL) waged a brutal terror attack on Moscow’s Crocus City
Concert Hall attached to a shopping mall, at the outskirts of Moscow. The
attack has resulted in more than 130 deaths.
The Islamic
State (IS) or the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) which happens to
be a creation of the CIA claimed responsibility for the attack.
On March 7,
2024, 10 the days before Russia’s presidential elections, the US
Embassy in Moscow had warned the Kremlin that a terror attack may take
place in a shopping mall, within the next few weeks… It also “warned
US citizens in Moscow not to visit shopping malls.”
What is the
Islamic State (ISIL, ISIS-Daesh)?
Ask former President
Barack Obama who in 2014 ordered a major counter-terrorism operation
directed against the Islamic State under the doctrine of Responsibility
to Protect (R2P)
The
counter-terrorism mandate is a fiction. America is the Number One “State
Sponsor of Terrorism”.
The US has
supported Al Qaeda and its affiliated organizations including ISIL for almost
half a century since the heyday of the Soviet Afghan war.
In 2014
President Obama launched a “counter-terrorism
campaign” allegedly directed against The Islamic State (ISIL, ISIS-Daesh).
It was an
outright act of war disguised as a fake counter-terrorism operation.
It consisted in providing a justification for the
extensive bombing of Iraq and Syria, largely targeting residential areas
and civilians.
In turn,
ISIS-Daesh was covertly supported and funded by the
U.S. and its allies including Israel.
Israel was
directly involved in President Obama’s “counter-terrorism” bombing raids
directed against Syria, while also supporting Al Qaeda and
ISIS mercenaries out of the Golan Heights.
Since 9/11,
“America’s The Islamic State has gone Global”.
The Islamic
State is not limited to the the Middle East and
Central Asia.
West Africa,
Central Africa, Southeast Asia, Western Europe, Russia, Turkey, India,
Indonesia, Malaysia, The Philippines, and many more.
There are
Islamic State related jihadist networks supported covertly by Western
intelligence in all major regions of the World with the exception of Latin
America. . . . .

“Twelve Years
Ago: The US-NATO-Israel Sponsored Al Qaeda Insurgency in Syria. Who Was Behind
the 2011 ‘Protest Movement’?”
by Prof Michel Chossudovsky
Today, March
22, 2024, our thoughts are with the people of Syria.
Thirteen
years ago:
At the outset
of the US-NATO war on Syria in March 2011, so-called “progressives” have
supported the so-called “opposition”, which is largely made up of Al Qaeda
affiliated mercenaries.
A US-NATO led
war of aggression was portrayed as a “civil war”.
President Bashar Al Assad was casually described as a dictator who is killing his own people.
The millions of deaths resulting from US-NATO led wars are not an object of
concern.
The anti-war
movement died in the wake of the Iraq war (April 2003). Responsibility to
Protect (R2P) and counterterrorism prevail.
The war on
Syria started twelve years ago in Daraa on the 17th of March 2011.
I was in
Syria in early 2011. I left the country in early March barely two weeks before
the outbreak in Daraa.
The following
article first published in May 2011 examines the inception of the jihadist
terrorist insurgency.
It recounts
the events of March 17-18, 2011 in Daraa, a small
border town with Jordan.
Media reports
have finally acknowledged that the so-called “protest movement” in Syria was
instigated by Washington. This was known and documented from the very
inception of the Syrian crisis in March 2011.
It was not a
protest movement, it was an armed insurgency integrated by US-Israeli
and allied supported “jihadist” death squads?
From Day One,
the Islamist “freedom fighters” were supported, trained and equipped by NATO
and Turkey’s High Command. According to Israeli intelligence sources (Debka, August 14, 2011):
NATO
headquarters in Brussels and the Turkish high command are meanwhile drawing up
plans for their first military step in Syria, which is to arm the rebels with weapons for combating the tanks and
helicopters spearheading the Assad regime’s crackdown on dissent. … NATO
strategists are thinking more in terms of pouring large quantities of anti-tank
and anti-air rockets, mortars and heavy machine guns into the protest centers
for beating back the government armored forces. ((DEBKAfile, NATO to give rebels anti-tank
weapons, August 14, 2011)
This
initiative, which was also supported by Saudi Arabia the UAE and Qatar,
involved a process of organized recruitment of thousands of
jihadist “freedom fighters”, reminiscent of the enlistment of Mujahideen to wage the CIA’s jihad (holy war) in the heyday
of the Soviet-Afghan war:
Also
discussed in Brussels and Ankara, our sources report, is a campaign to
enlist thousands of Muslim volunteers in Middle East countries and the Muslim
world to fight alongside the Syrian rebels. The Turkish army would house
these volunteers, train them and secure their passage into Syria. (Ibid,
emphasis added)
These
mercenaries were subsequently integrated into US and allied sponsored terrorist
organizations including Al Nusrah and ISIS.
The Daraa “protest movement” on March 17-18 had all the
appearances of a staged event involving covert support to Islamic terrorists by
Mossad and/or Western intelligence.
Government
sources pointed to the role of radical Salafist
groups (supported by Israel).
In chorus,
the Western media described the events in Daraa as a
protest movement against Bashar Al Assad.
In a bitter
irony, the deaths of policemen were higher than those of “demonstrators”.
In Daraa, roof top snipers were targeting both police and demonstrators.
Reading
between the lines of Israeli and Lebanese news reports (which acknowledge the
police deaths) a clearer picture of what happened in Daraa
on March 17-18 had emerged. The Israel National News Report (which can not be accused of being biased in favor of Bashar al Assad) confirmed that:
“Seven police
officers and at least four demonstrators in Syria have been killed in continuing violent clashes that
erupted in the southern town of Daraa last Thursday.
… and the Baath Party Headquarters and courthouse were
torched, in renewed violence on Sunday. (Gavriel Queenann, Syria: Seven Police Killed, Buildings Torched in
Protests,Israel National News, Arutz Sheva,
March 21, 2011, emphasis added)
The Lebanese
news report also acknowledged the killings of seven policemen in Daraa.
[They were
killed] “during clashes between the security forces
and protesters… They got killed trying to drive away protesters during
demonstration in Dara’a”
The Lebanese Ya Libnan report quoting Al Jazeera also acknowledged that protesters had “burned
the headquarters of the Baath Party and the court house in Dara’a”
(emphasis added)
These news
reports of the events in Daraa confirmed that from
the very outset this was not a “peaceful protest” as claimed by the Western
media.
Moreover,
from an assessment of the initial casualty figures (Israel News), there were
more policemen than “demonstrators” who were killed.
This is
significant because it suggests that the police force may have initially been
outnumbered by a well organized armed gang of professional killers.
What was
clear from these initial reports is that many of the demonstrators were not
demonstrators but terrorists involved in premeditated acts of killing and
arson.
The title of
the Israeli news report summarized what happened: Syria: Seven Police
Killed, Buildings Torched in Protest
The
US-NATO-Israel agenda consisted in supporting an Al Qaeda affiliated insurgency
integrated by death squads and professional snipers. President Bashar al Assad was then blamed for killing his own
people.
It is worth
noting, that three years later, a similar “false
flag” strategy of killing innocent civilians was used during the Ukraine Maidan “protest movement”. On February 20th, 2014,
professional snipers were shooting at both demonstrators and policemen with a
view to accusing president Viktor Yanukovych of “mass murder.” This was a coup d’Etat sponsored by the U.S.
The
“humanitarian mandate” of the US and its allies is sustained by diabolical
“false flag” attacks which consist in killing civilians with a view to breaking
the legitimacy of governments which refuse to abide by the diktats of
Washington and its allies.

“The Empire
Doesn’t Hide Its Worst Deeds, It Just Manipulates How People Think About Them”
by Caitlin Johnstone
Global
Research Fundraising: Stop the Pentagon’s Ides of March
***
The worst
actions of your government happen not in secrecy, but right out in the open
under the narrative cover of mass media propaganda. The western empire doesn’t
hide its worst deeds, it just manipulates the way
people think about them.
READ MORE: Australia’s Naval Base in Papua New Guinea: Power
Play in the South Pacific against China
Tomorrow we
could unearth rock-solid proof that the US government knowingly orchestrated
9/11, and that crime in and of itself still wouldn’t be as bad as what the US
government is facilitating in Gaza right now, in plain view of the entire
world. And even if such a revelation did occur, the imperial media would
probably either ignore it or spin it so that its impact is dulled into impotence.
The empire’s
worst atrocities happen in the open because the empire’s worst atrocities
involve butchering and starving huge numbers of people, which is impossible to
do in secret. They can assassinate a government official here and sign a
malignant secret agreement there without needing to do it openly, but murder at
mass scale isn’t something you can conceal in the information age.
The
US-centralized globe-spanning power structure therefore relies heavily on its
historically unprecedented ability to psychologically manipulate global
populations when carrying out such atrocities. The empire has invested more
heavily in soft power than any empire or government in human history, and the
science of modern propaganda has been advancing under this investment at least
as rapidly as military technology has been.
That’s why
you can have the most damning information imaginable about the people who rule
over us sitting right out in the open, and you won’t see anywhere remotely
close to the public outrage and backlash you ought to see. The US government
can literally back a genocide without hiding any part of it, and the
political-media class will simply manipulate public psychology into getting
lost in a bunch of hogwash about self-defense and human shields and difficulties
delivering food and medical supplies and hey Biden is working hard to do the
right thing here and it’s all very complicated and everything bad that happens
in Gaza can be blamed on Hamas anyway.
It’s a truly
astonishing power that would inspire awe if it wasn’t so evil. Power is
controlling what happens, but real power is controlling what people think
about what happens.
Whistleblowers
and investigative journalists provide an invaluable service to humanity for
which we should all be grateful, but what this civilization needs more than
anything right now is not so much new information about what the powerful are
doing, but rather the ability to lucidly perceive the information that’s
already been made public. We need people clearly seeing what’s already right in
front of them, without the lens of distortion and obfuscation that the powerful
have placed over their eyes.

“Israeli source of 'executed
children' lie admits story was untrue”
by Asa Winstanley
(6:19)
The Jewish
extremist responsible for concocting some of Israel’s worst atrocity propaganda
about 7 October has admitted that one of his stories about Hamas executing
children was untrue.
Yossi Landau of the
group ZAKA concedes
in a new interview with Al Jazeera’s Investigative
Unit that dead bodies he previously claimed to have seen in Kibbutz Be’eri were “not children.”
In the
interview he admits: “When you look at them and they’re burned you don’t know
exactly the ages. So you’re talking about 18-year-old, 20 years old … you just
don’t look on the spot … to see the ages or something like that.”
The interview
is part of Al Jazeera’s new documentary, October 7, which confirms that Israel
itself killed a number of the Israeli dead that day – as The Electronic
Intifada has reported all along.
In the
documentary, Landau is pressed by producer Richard Sanders to explain a story
he repeatedly spread to journalists last year.
“You’re
talking children,” Landau claimed to Sky News in October. “Piles of 10 children
each were tied to the back, [then] burned [in] the bed. Something behind this
is next level … it’s indescribable.”
It’s a story
that Landau repeated again and again in the wake of the 7 October Palestinian
military assault. His lurid allegations successfully demonized Palestinians and
helped pave the way for Israel’s ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip, which has
so far claimed the lives of more than 32,000 people.
You can watch
the Al Jazeera interview with Landau in the video
above, which is a clip from the full Al Jazeera documentary that you can watch on their website.
Beheaded babies lies
Landau also seems to have been responsible for the
definitively debunked Israeli lie that
40 babies had been executed by Hamas.

into Israel's bombardment of Gaza, the atrocities the IDF has committed against
Palestinians are too numerous to name. Israel is staging a prolonged assault on
the Palestinian people's very means of existence—destroying homes, hospitals,
sanitation infrastructure, food and water sources, schools, and more. To understand
the genocidal campaign unfolding before our eyes, we must examine the roots of
Israeli society. Israel is a settler colonial state whose existence depends on
the elimination of Palestinians. Accordingly, Israel is a deeply militarized
society whose citizens are raised in an environment of historical revisionism
and indoctrination that whitewashes Israel's crimes while cultivating a
deep-seated racism against Palestinians. Miko Peled, former IDF Special Forces and author of The General's Son: Journey of an Israeli in Palestine, joins

There, a reservist who served in the military assault on Gaza confesses to an

“Netanyahu’s Colonial Project”. Appropriation of All Palestinian Lands. Israel’s Plan to
Expand into A “Greater State”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/israel-quest-palestinian-free-palestine-continues/5853557
by Dr. Philip Giraldi
US support
enables Netanyahu to ignore international pressure.
Israel’s plan
to expand into an Eretz or “Greater” state
incorporating large chunks of its neighbors’ land starts with eliminating the
pre-1948 inhabitants of a place once known as Palestine.
That nearly
all of those who think of themselves as Palestinians must be killed or
otherwise removed is perhaps reduced to an aphorism, like “Israel has a right
to defend itself,” to absolve the Israeli state and its rampaging army of any
guilt in the process. Indeed, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ability to
avoid any serious consequences for his behavior is remarkable, and it generates
further atrocities that might have been unimaginable when the fighting in Gaza
started back in October.
Al Jazeera has reported how Netanyahu is now pushing ahead to formalize what has
been referred to as the “colonial project,” whereby “the appropriation of all
Palestinian Lands will follow on… the outright exclusion of the Palestinian
people from their homeland.” Bibi said in a speech to
supporters that
“These are
the basic lines of the national government headed by me: The Jewish people have
an exclusive and unquestionable right to all areas of the Land of Israel. The
government will promote and develop settlement in all parts of the Land of
Israel — in the Galilee, the Negev, the Golan, Judea and Samaria.”
Journalist
Patrick Lawrence, writing at Consortium News, recently
described how “Israel’s savagery in its determination to exterminate the
Palestinians of Gaza — and we had better brace for what is next on the West
Bank of the Jordan — marks a turn for all of humanity. In its descent into
depravity the Zionist state drags the West altogether down with it.” Indeed,
and the United States of America is the foremost great power to be reduced to
the status of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Jewish state, unable to advance
its own interests when confronted by the juggernaut of the so-called Israel
Lobby and associated Jewish and Zionist-Christian organizations that have
corrupted and controlled American foreign as well as select domestic policies.
Witness what
has occurred in the last several weeks when the international community has
rallied to end the slaughter and deliberate starvation of largely defenseless Gazan civilians. First came a
United Nations Security Council move by the United States, which introduced a
resolution calling for, but not demanding, an
immediate though possibly temporary cease fire in Gaza. When the resolution
came up for a vote it was vetoed by Russia and China. There were several
problems with the text as it inevitably sought to give Israel considerable
flexibility in managing the situation. It included an admonition that the
effort to secure a ceasefire must be “in connection with the release of all remaining
hostages,” which is an Israeli demand with the willingness of Israel to
participate at all very much dependent on the hostage issue. The resolution
allowed the fighting to continue and it put control of the entry and
distribution of urgently needed relief supplies under the ”security”
management of the Israeli army.
Then came a Russian and Chinese resolution, approved by all
members of the council but the US which “abstained.” The US immediately
declared the resolution to be “non-binding” and while the document was meant to
permit a ceasefire through the end of Ramadan, it has yet to be enacted by
Israel which continues to block food and medicine relief shipments and has
focused its latest attacks on the few remaining hospitals, killing hundreds more
Gazans. Even though the resolution demanded action on
the ceasefire and access to relief supplies Israel has ignored it and so has
Washington. As only the United States can compel Israel to change course the
fact that it continues to fund Israel and provide it with secret shipments of
planeloads weapons, without which Netanyahu would be unable to continue his
war, speaks for itself in terms of who is controlling whom.
And don’t be
fooled by President Joe Biden’s alleged pressure on Netanyahu to “protect civilians”
even as Bibi draws up plans with his war cabinet to
invade Gaza’s southernmost Rafah Region, where 1.5
million Palestinians have sought refuge and are now confronted by imminent
death with no way out. Biden is responding to opinion polls in the US that
indicate that more than half of Americans are opposed to what
Israel is doing in Gaza and the percentage is steadily
growing, so he is pretending to have humanitarian impulses and a conscience,
neither of which is true, in a cynical effort to support his possible
reelection.

“Hypothetical
‘Disease X’: The WHO Pandemic Treaty is A Fraud. Demands Compliance for ‘Next
Pandemic’”
by Prof Michel Chossudovsky and
Steve Watson
WHO Director
General Tedros Adhanom
Ghebreyesus, continues to mislead public opinion Worldwide.
There is no
such thing as “Disease X”. It’s a
hypothetical construct by a WHO expert committee (2017-2018) of virologists and
disease analysts. It was then envisaged in the Clade
X Simulation (May 2018) and Event 201 Simulation of a Pandemic (October
2019). Both events were held under the auspices of the John Hopkins Center for
Heath Security with the support of the Gates Foundation.
It was then
announced by Bill Gates at the Munich
Security Conference in February 2022:
“The risks of
severe disease from Covid-19 have “dramatically reduced” but another pandemic is all but certain”. says Bill Gates.
“A potential
new pandemic would likely stem from a different pathogen to that of the coronavirus family” (CNBC).
“We’ll have
another pandemic. It will be a different pathogen next
time,” Gates said.

“When the Lie

Destabilizing
the social, political and economic structure of 190 sovereign
countries cannot constitute a “solution” to
combating a novel coronavirus which
mysteriously emerged in Wuhan, Hubei province (PRC) in late December 2019.
That was the imposed “solution” —implemented in several stages from the
very outset–, leading to The March 2020 Lockdown and the Rollout of a so-called
Covid 19 “Vaccine” in December 2020, which since its
inception has resulted in an upward trend in excess mortality.
It’s the
destruction of people’s lives Worldwide. It is the destabilization of civil
society.
Fake science
was supportive of this devastating agenda. The lies were sustained by a
massive media disinformation campaign. 24/7, Incessant
and Repetitive “Covid alerts” in the course of
more than three years. In turn, the ongoing fear campaign had
devastating impacts on people’s health.
The historic March 11, 2020 lockdown triggered economic and
social chaos Worldwide. It was an act of “economic warfare”: a war against
humanity.
The New
Virus: 2019-nCoV
This article focussing on the alleged novel coronavirus
is among the most important articles I have written.
There is an
element of simplicity and common sense in the text. My objective is that the
article will be extensively read and debated at the grassroots of society,
not only by scientists and medical doctors. The complexity of this crisis is
overwhelming. This is not solely a “Public Health Crisis”.
The implications
are far-reaching because the article refutes and invalidates ‘everything”
pertaining to the Covid pandemic. These
include the policies related to The Lockdown
and the Covid-19 “Vaccine”, not to mention the infamous Pandemic Treaty
and The World Economic Forum’s “Great Reset”.
The official
“corona narrative” is predicated on a “Big Lie” endorsed by corrupt
politicians.
That
“official consensus” is exceedingly fragile. Our intent is to precipitate its
collapse “like a house of cards”.
What is ultimately at stake is the value of human life and the
future of humanity.
Our objective
is to save lives including those of newly born babieswho are the
victims of the Covid-19 “Vaccine”.
At this
juncture in our history, the priority is to “Disable the Fear Campaign”
and “Cancel the Vaccine” (including the repeal of the
so-called “Pandemic Treaty”).
Hopefully
this will set the stage for the development of a Worldwide
movement of solidarity, which questions the legitimacy of the powerful “Big
Money” financial elites which are behind this infamous project.

“Did the Covid Psyop Fail?”
https://off-guardian.org/2024/03/30/did-the-covid-psyop-fail/
by Tod Hayden
As you all
know, I have not been one to believe that the tides are turning. But lots of
people think they are. They cite many victories, in court, in the streets, with
family and friends.
The fact that
the agenda has not sent out a second wave of horror and fear propaganda is also
rather telling to these folks. Where is the next pandemic? What happened to Covid’s diabolic never-ending run of mutations, what
happened to Monkey Pox? What happened to Disease X?
Yes, all this
could still happen, but it seems there have been more false starts—starts that
didn’t go anywhere. But if so, you would think they wouldn’t have put them out
there just to not have them continue. It’s been rather weird, like an
electrical storm you see on the horizon with its threatening lightning strikes,
but it never gets close enough to warrant closing the cellar door.
How about
CBDCs? And the Digital IDs? You hear a lot about
these, but nothing that is concretely happening to implement them. Is it
happening in other places? Australia? Germany? The UK?
Of course, a lot is said about it, on YouTube, and in alt media. Lots of
talking heads, but how imminent is it? Actually, I won’t dwell on this, I have
no doubt all of this is coming, but has the dragon been wounded? Even a little
bit? Has this march into oblivion been slowed down?
Maybe there
is no wounding of the general juggernaut of world rule by the schmucks who are
claiming power. Although even that sacrosanct organization
may have suffered from shell damage. Wasn’t DAVOS not
all that they expected this past year? Hasn’t there been some pretty
obvious whiplash from some leaders in their little club? How about the UN and
the “sustainable development” circus? How is that going?
Anyway, I
digress. Although the health of the world agenda, including all of these
projects I mention, are all part of it, Covid, and
pandemics in general, are the specific topics of this article.

“History of
World War II: German Plans to Defeat Western Allied Landing”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/german-plans-defeat-western-allied-landing/5853230
by Shane Quinn
The Third
Reich’s manpower reserves was reaching its end as 1944
began which is now eight decades ago. The average age of a soldier in the
German Wehrmacht through 1943 was 31.5 years, which
was four years older than the average age in the German Army in 1917.
At the start
of 1944 Nazi Germany on paper had 304 divisions in operation, 179 of which were
in eastern and central Europe, 53 were in France, 26 in the Balkans, 24 in
Scandinavia and 22 in Italy. Growing numbers of German divisions fighting
against the Soviet Army had been “fought out”. They were no longer of division
size due to the heavy casualties they had suffered. Through 1944 German forces
stationed in western and northern Europe were increasingly sent eastwards in a
vain attempt to offset their losses.
The great
majority of the damage inflicted against the Wehrmacht
in World War II was caused by the Soviet military.
It can be
stressed that Russia possessed more than enough capabilities, manpower and
military resources to defeat the Nazis, and without the need for a Western
Allied amphibious landing in France.
In May 1944
the number of Germans fighting against the Russians had sunk to its lowest
total since Adolf Hitler’s invasion of Russia had begun on 22 June 1941, while
the number of Soviet troops in May 1944 had reached its highest point, and
altogether they outnumbered the Germans by almost three-to-one.
Yet according
to author Samuel W. Mitcham, in May 1944 the Germans
at their closest point were 290 miles from Moscow, whereas the Soviet soldiers
that month were still 550 miles from Berlin at their closest point. This would
change dramatically in coming months with large-scale advances made by the
Russians, such as during Operation Bagration, which
was launched exactly three years after the Nazis had attacked Russia.
German units
seriously depleted by Russian troops were often transferred to France, where some of them underwent reorganisation to prepare for a Western Allied landing.
While it is normal for top level commanders to be of an experienced age, often
over 60-years-old, one of the Germans’ main issues in the war’s latter stages
was in shortages of frontline soldiers of an appreciably younger age. Some of
the newly recruited men in the German gun-crews in France were 55-years-old or
more.
With an
American-led landing in western Europe becoming an
inevitability, in early November 1943 Hitler had appointed Field Marshal
Erwin Rommel as inspector of German coastal fortifications in the west
which stretched from Norway southward to France. Rommel was not impressed by
Germany’s defences, called the Atlantic Wall, and the
many hundreds of miles of coastline meant the Nazis could merely erect a system
of strongpoints and not a continuous line of concrete
structures and minefields. By January 1944 even the strongpoint system was far
from finished.
To strengthen
the defensive lines, Rommel requested vast amounts of mines of different types,
such as anti-tank mines, anti-landing craft mines, anti-personnel mines and
nonferrous mines, the latter of which would be unidentifiable on enemy mine
detectors, the Germans hoped. They also wanted mines detonated by trip wires
and remote-controlled mines.
If the
Anglo-Americans could be delayed on the French beaches, and if high casualties
could be inflicted on them before they were allowed to reinforce, the Germans
might decisively defeat their landing and force them back into the sea. Admiral
Friedrich Ruge, a German naval officer stationed
in France for most of the war and who was advising Rommel in 1943 and 1944, wrote
how the field marshal “knew that there was no hope of winning, but hoped that
the war could be brought to a tolerable end… So he looked for a way to defeat
the landing on the beach, and to win a respite which
could be exploited politically”.

“The
Hiroshima Nagasaki ‘Dress Rehearsal’: Oppenheimer and the U.S. War Department's
Secret September 15, 1945 ‘Doomsday Blueprint’ to ‘Wipe
the Soviet Union off the Map’”
by Prof Michel Chossudovsky
My long-standing commitment is to “the value of human life”,
“the criminalization of war” , “peaceful co-existence” between
nation states and “the future of humanity” which is
currently threatened by nuclear war.
I have been
researching nuclear war for more than 20 years focussing
on its historical, strategic and geopolitical dimensions as well as
its criminal features as a means to implementing what is best described as
“genocide on a massive scale”.
What is presented
below is a brief history of nuclear war: a succession of U.S. nuclear war
plans going back to the Manhattan Project (1939-1945) leading up to
the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945.
Unknown to
the broader public, the first U.S. Doomsday Blueprint of a nuclear attack
directed against the Soviet Union was formulated by the US
War Department at the height of World War II, confirmed by “Top
Secret” documents on September 15, 1945 when the US and the
Soviet Union were allies.
There is an
element of political delusion and paranoia in the formulation of US foreign
policy. The Doomsday Scenario against the Soviet Union has
been on the drawing board of the Pentagon for almost 80 years.
Had it not
been for the September 1945 plan to “wipe the Soviet
Union off the map” (66 urban areas and more than 200 atomic bombs),
neither Russia nor China would have developed nuclear weapons.
There wouldn’t have been a Nuclear Arms Race.
Numerous US
nuclear war plans have been formulated from the outset, leading up to “The
1956 Strategic Air Command SAC Atomic Weapons Requirements Study” (Declassified
in December 2015) which consisted in targeting 1200 urban areas in the
Soviet Union, Eastern Europe and China.
The World is
at a dangerous crossroads: it
should be understood that the use of nuclear weapons in relation to the
confrontation between US-NATO and Russia would inevitably lead
to escalation and the end of humanity as we know it.
What
is required is a Worldwide peace movement coupled
with the banning of nuclear weapons.
In recent
developments, several EU-NATO proxy heads of state and heads of
government including President Macron (acting on behalf of
powerful financial interests) have candidly intimated the need for NATO to
wage war against Russia on behalf of a Neo-Nazi government, which indelibly
would lead us into a World War III scenario.
What is
unfolding is not only “the criminalization of “La Classe politique”,
the judicial system is also criminalized with a view to
upholding the legitimacy of the war criminals in high office.
And the
corporate media through omission, half truths and outright lies upholds war as
a peace-making endeavor. In the words of the Washington Post, “war makes us
safer and richer”

dramatically stripped away the murderous hypocrisy and deadly intransigence of
U.S. and Western imperialism’s commitment to maintaining global hegemony by
“any means necessary,” including using the weapon of genocide. For the Black
Alliance for Peace, we have not been surprised by the barbarism of the U.S. and
Israeli settler states.
In fact,
everything that has transpired since our founding in 2017 was predicted,
including the jettisoning of all pretense to any commitment to so-called
liberal values by the White West as it pursued its military-first
strategies. We were not confused because we have consistently grounded our
analysis and political work in our best understanding of the objective material
realities that we are forced to operate in. We have rejected as irrelevant any analysis
based on the psychology of any individual from Biden to Trump or Netanyahu. For
BAP, the analysis of objective class and social forces is the only element that
guides our social and political practices.
That is why
we were ready when the South African state filed its case against the Israeli
apartheid state at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). We understood that
the Genocide Convention was going to be invoked and that it would provide
another significant weapon for further exposing the true nature of the Western
colonial project in general and in Palestine specifically.
When the case
was filed at the ICJ, BAP was instrumental in launching a new coalition, the International Coalition to Stop Genocide
in Gaza . BAP has always been clear that
persuading the criminals running the various Western states to change their
minds is a naive strategy. Instead, taking advantage of the inevitable mistakes
of the oppressors to build alternative People(s)-Centered power must always be
the real objective. Therefore, we understood that the South African legal
challenge could help facilitate the development of the real material force –
the organized global peoples – the only force that could compel the Israeli
fascists to end the colonial oppression of the Palestinian people.
It is this understanding of the challenges that the historical moment
presents that has informed our work, from our opposition to the invasion of
Haiti to organizing against the intensifying efforts to militarize the domestic
police forces occupying our communities in the U.S., imposing and preparing
themselves for even more draconian control over the population- cop-cities! The
crazed response to the declining power of the U.S. and the West is to engage in
the politics of death with their commitment to violence operationalized
through the U.S. and its military-first policies from Atlanta to Ukraine. We
must be prepared for this intensifying war on the people.

“Who Must Go? Permanent Government vs. the People.
‘Electoral Politics’ and ‘The Deep State’”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/who-must-go-permanent-government-vs-people/5852994
by Dr. T. P. Wilkinson
President
Kennedy was furious at the CIA for having misled him. Waiting several months
before he compelled CIA Director Allen
Dulles to resign, Kennedy told him,
“Under a
parliamentary system of government it is I who would be leaving. But under our
system it is you who must go.”
Thus John F. Kennedy defended the illusion
that the Anglophile dominated US government had transcended its British
aristocratic-monarchical roots.
Allen Dulles
resigned from his office as Director of Central Intelligence to preside over
the committee that would disprove Kennedy‘s naive belief in an American system
of responsible government in the hands of popularly elected
representatives.
A Conservative
friend of the Thatcher regime in Great Britain created a series called “Yes Minister”
(with a sequel “Yes Prime Minister”)
in which the power of the permanent civil service over elected parliamentary
government was lampooned.
Yet behind
the sarcasm with which Sir Humphrey exhibits his scarcely concealed contempt
for the “barbarians” – meaning His Majesty’s ordinary subjects- lies the admission of simplicity in what has been recently
called the “Deep State”.
Denied by
most in the West, the existence of what Prouty called
“the secret team” is so obvious to the scriptwriters of the
aristocratic-monarchist British Broadcasting Corporation that it could be
advertised in prime time. The history of the current regime in the Federal Republic
of Germany, ignored by most of occupied Germany’s licensed “free media”, was so
obvious that GDR prime time TV broadcast a series in the 1970s which dramatized the US-Nazi cooperation in the
remilitarization of Germany (west) to fight the war now actually impending
against Russia.

“Degenerate
Art in New Normal Germany”
https://off-guardian.org/2024/03/26/degenerate-art-in-new-normal-germany/
by CJ Hopkins
One of the
first things totalitarians do when they set about transforming a democratic
society into whatever type of strictly-regulated, utterly soul-deadening
totalitarian dystopia they are trying to transform it into is radically
overhaul and remake its culture.
You can’t
impose your new official ideology on a formerly democratic society with a bunch
of artists running around loose, making fun of you and your propaganda. No, you
need to get the culture business under control, and dictate what is and isn’t
“art,” and what types of art are “harmful to society,” and demonize them, and
the artists who created them, and censor them, or otherwise erase them.
The Nazis
went about this process in their characteristically ham-fisted fashion…

Julius Robert Oppenheimer wasn’t just
the father of the weapon that ended WWII and shifted the course of humanity.
The super scientist hid love affairs, secrets, and scandals until his enemies
publicly exposed and humiliated him. This is the story of a man who gave his
country the power to destroy the world—only for them to destroy him.

New Book:
“Empire of Lies”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/new-book-empire-of-lies-by-dr-paul-craig-roberts/5852785
by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts
Reviews
“Dr. Roberts
is one of few remaining voices of truth in the West. His essays expose the
systematic lies of Western mainstream media, which now provide propaganda
rather than news. He explains these false narratives are designed to create a
public lost in a Matrix of misinformation, which conditions people to hate and
fear; the hatred of internal ‘enemies’ prevents social cohesion that could
effectively challenge governmental authority, while external enemies are
demonized to make people accept endless war.
“Most
importantly, Roberts warns of the imminent danger of a nuclear holocaust, which
now places us ‘one nanosecond’ away from nuclear Armageddon. If you want to
better understand why all the things we once held sacred — family, freedom,
justice and peace — are now under relentless attack by the government, media,
and academia, then read this book, it will open your eyes.”
— Professor Steven Starr, former Director at the University of
Missouri’s Clinical Laboratory Sciences Program

“THE
IRON-CLAD PIÑATA”
by Seymour Hersh
Putin is an
enemy the West cannot topple—so why does Biden keep swinging?
President
Biden’s foreign policy problems in the Middle East and Ukraine are daunting,
especially in an election year, but the war between Russia and Ukraine could be
nearing a military endgame, and not via negotiations. Vladimir Putin’s military
is more entrenched inside Ukraine than ever, and the
undermanned and under-equipped Ukraine military is facing a stalemate at best
and the permanent loss of four oblasts. In essence, it is a defeat.
The Russian
president’s unchallenged re-election over the weekend was a farce by democratic
standards, especially coming after the death last month of the imprisoned
dissident Alexei Navalny. The 77 percent turnout was
the largest since the fall of the Soviet Union, and Putin won 87 percent of the
vote. “It was the same process” as in earlier Russian elections, a
knowledgeable American official caustically told me. “The Russians
voted that way because it was in their interest to do so. The people had
to vote.”
Even amid a
difficult and costly war that he initiated, Putin remains firmly in control of
Russia, despite a series of Western sanctions and wishful thinking in
Washington that its military expertise, weapons, and enthusiasm for the war
would loosen his grip on power. Blindfolded by ideology, Biden wants the candy
of regime change, but Putin has proven to be an iron-clad piñata.
The American
president keeps taking his swings. It was not surprising that Biden chose to
turn to Putin and the Ukraine war at the start of his State of the Union speech
on March 7. He and his foreign policy staff have put Putin’s diminishment at
the top of their to-do list since taking office. He told the Congress that
Russia “is on the march” and Putin’s intent is “to sow chaos throughout Europe
and beyond. If anybody in this room thinks Putin will stop at Ukraine, I assure
you, he will not. . . . History is watching . . . Europe is at risk.”
