PR War for Hearts and Minds in Ukrainian Color Revolution Takes Page from Our Invasion of Iraq (archive)

(archived from December 8, 2013 12 years ago)

Back during the days of the illegal invasion of Iraq, the old “Shock and Awe” era which predated the “humanitarian intervention” spell we live in now, a spin doctor (glorified toothpaste salesmen who think they rule the world with they can lie and tell half-truths like a developmentally challenged 12 year old) was passing a statue of Saddam when he suddenly saw it as a target of opportunity to spin up some “hearts and minds” propaganda for the folks back home who were wincing at the images of bombs exploding in civilian neighborhoods while talking heads for the MSM gushed verbal ejaculations about how wonderful and impressive it all was.

The result was the staged event where the propagandists got their “curve-ball” Iraqi sympathizers to run around pretending to cheer as the statue was pulled to the ground. Flags were waved, U.S. flags that is, and “Iraqis” chanted their lines about how “freedom” had been brought to their country.

No-confidence Vote Fails in Ukraine’s Newest Neo-liberal Color Revolution as Cartalucci Praises Fake “Revolution” in Thailand (archive)

(An interesting aspect of this latest Color Revolution supporting shift by Tony Cartalucci… he used to sign all of his work at Land Destroyer “(LD)” but now, after he supposedly left the website, handing it over to two “humanitarian intervention” supporters, Eric Draitser and Nile Bowie, Tony is supposedly back and signing his work “(Tony Cartalucci)” . I wonder if it’s really him or if Eric and Nile needed Tony’s “brand” to help them pump up this latest regime change story)

The AP accidentally makes it clear that this latest attempt at neo-liberal regime change in Ukraine is failing as the far-right thugs attack the police outside in the streets. Violence is always the first and last resort of the fascist mind, from Pinochet to al Sisi and everyone in between.

Ukraine’s opposition has failed in its attempt to force out the government with a no-confidence vote in parliament.

The failure leaves Ukraine’s political tensions unresolved, with opposition demonstrators still angered by the president’s shelving of an agreement with the European Union and by police violence against protesters denouncing that decision.

The dispute has brought crowds as big as 300,000 to the streets of Kiev, the largest outpouring of public anger since the 2004 Orange Revolution. AP

Violence is always the way for the thugs who are paid to back up the “transition” of the targeted country. In Egypt they attacked the protesters who were demanding the removal of our puppet dictator Hosni Mubarak. Here, they openly attack the police stationed outside the presidential administration building, pelting them with cobblestones and spraying them with teargas.

Yes, that’s the fake “protesters” trying to incite violence from the police by pelting them with cobblestones and spraying them with teargas. Kinda like when Israel bombs a Hamas site looking for the retaliation they can hold up to the world as justification for Operation Cast Lead. Same thing. pictures after break:

Destabilizing Russia – Clinton State Department Dusts off Color Revolution Model and Threatens Us All (archve)

(archived from December 8, 2011 fourteen years ago)

by Scott Creighton

The accusations of election fraud in Russia are simply a retaliatory destabilization campaign being waged by Hillary Clinton and her minions of pro-democracy NGOs against the ruling party of Vladamir Putin. The people of Russia don’t buy it, the NGO employees who are being forced to go out into the streets and “protest” are starting to refuse to show up (would you commit treason against a leader like Putin for a pathetic little paycheck?), Putin himself has exposed Hillary’s little pathetic game to the world, and the “pro-democracy” opposition players are ex-Yeltsin era globalist cronies who sold off the state assets of the people of Russia to multinational financial institutions in exchange for millions and millions of dollars.

In short, it’s not going to work but that won’t stop the globalist media PR networks from helping Hillary spread a little destabilization to one of the few remaining super-powers, a country that has enough nuclear firepower to wipe the U.S. off the map several times over and a conventional military that if teamed with Iran, Pakistan, and Syria, could crush our forces in the region in a matter of weeks. That’s to say nothing of throwing China into the mix.

But none of that will stop Hillary Clinton. She’s bound and determined to flex her NGO and psyop media muscle to show Russia she can do to them what she did to Libya. Remember her little giggly gloating interview she gave after her rebels tortured and murdered Moammar Gadhafi (“we came, we saw, he died“)? The question might need to be asked in light of her recent behavior, borderline psychotic behavior, is it time to force Washington to deClintonize itself before their Hitlereque behavior lights a fuse we can’t put out.

IDF Executes Two Unarmed Palestinians for No Reason

by Scott Creighton

This video went viral this weekend. It shows two Palestinian men in Jenin with their hands up, unarmed, being executed by IDF soldiers for no reason at all.

 

Of course there will be no charges brought against the soldiers, they wont be held accountable and if things in Israel are as sick as they were, they might get a medal or some kind of praise from Israeli media, like the ones who raped that Palestinian a couple months back. 

Israel is a sick nation full of sick people. 

Pope Leo insists on two-state solution to resolve Israel-Palestine conflict

from al Jazeera

Pope Leo XIV has reiterated the Vatican’s insistence on a two-state resolution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, saying it’s the “only solution” that can guarantee justice for both sides.

Leo made the comments as he flew from Turkiye to Lebanon on Sunday for the second and final leg of his maiden international voyage as pope.

On the flight, the pontiff was asked by reporters about his private talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan upon his arrival in Ankara, and whether they discussed the wars in Gaza and Ukraine.

Leo confirmed they had and said Turkiye has an “important role to play” to end both conflicts...

SAS accused of planting weapons, executing detainees in Afghanistan

(Don't forget... Afghanistan had nothing to do with 9/11 and the Taliban agreed to catch bin Laden themselves and hand him over if the Bush administration showed them evidence he had anything to do with it and 'W' and Cheney ignored those offers and invaded anyway because they wanted the Trans Afghan Pipeline to go thru the country. And they wanted the poppy field replanted and back producing heroin.) 

from al Mayadeen English

The former director of UK special forces, along with other senior military officials, attempted to suppress warnings that SAS units in Afghanistan were carrying out unlawful killings, an inquiry has heard, as reported by The Guardian.

A senior special forces whistleblower said the chain of command neglected to halt extrajudicial shootings, including the killing of two young children, after concerns were first raised in early 2011, allowing such incidents to continue until 2013.

The cover-up allegations are among the most serious raised at the inquiry into claims that British SAS units summarily killed 80 people in Afghanistan, with the investigation led by Lord Justice Haddon-Cave after being launched in 2023...

Malnutrition persists as winter sets in, threatening children’s lives and wellbeing in Gaza

from UNICEF

High levels of malnutrition continue to endanger the lives and wellbeing of children in the Gaza Strip, compounded by the onset of winter weather accelerating the spread of disease and increasing the risk of death among the most vulnerable children.

Nutrition screenings conducted by UNICEF and partners identified almost 9,300 children under 5 years of age with acute malnutrition in October, down from 11,746 children in September and 14,363 children in August. While this downward trend demonstrates progress in treating and preventing acute malnutrition among children in Gaza, October still marks one of the highest monthly admissions rates on record, and is nearly five times higher than in February 2025, during the previous ceasefire.

“Despite progress, thousands of children under the age of five remain acutely malnourished in Gaza, while many more lack proper shelter, sanitation and protection against winter,” said UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell.  “Too many children in Gaza are still facing hunger, illness and exposure to cold temperatures, conditions that are putting their lives at risk. Every minute counts to protect these children.”

More food supplies have entered Gaza in recent weeks, driving down market prices and improving families’ access to food. However, many essential items, particularly animal-source foods, remain unavailable or unaffordable for most. A UNICEF survey of families conducted in October found that 2 in 3 children under 5 years of age ate two or less food groups out of the recommended eight food groups the week prior, mostly grains, bread or flour.

As winter weather sets in, thousands of displaced families remain in makeshift shelters without warm clothes, blankets or protection from the elements, while heavy rains have washed waste and sewage through floodwaters and into populated areas.

With poor sanitation, overcrowding and limited access to safe water, disease spreads rapidly and disproportionately affects young children. The combination of malnutrition and disease is especially lethal: each condition accelerates and worsens the other. Further, cold temperatures dramatically increase the body’s energy needs, putting malnourished children, who lack fat and muscle reserves, at severe risk of hypothermia...

from Daily Sabah

Nearly 9,300 children under 5 in Gaza were diagnosed with severe acute malnutrition in October, UNICEF warned Saturday, saying winter conditions and the rapid spread of disease are further endangering the lives of the territory's most vulnerable children.

"High levels of malnutrition continue to endanger the lives and wellbeing of children in the Gaza Strip, compounded by the onset of winter weather accelerating the spread of disease and increasing the risk of death among the most vulnerable children," the U.N. agency said in a statement on its website.

According to UNICEF, nutrition screenings carried out by the agency and its partners last month "identified almost 9,300 children under 5 years of age with acute malnutrition in October."

The agency said large quantities of winter supplies remain stuck at Gaza's borders and called for the safe, rapid and unobstructed delivery of humanitarian aid into the territory.

"As winter weather sets in, thousands of displaced families remain in makeshift shelters without warm clothes, blankets or protection from the elements, while heavy rains have washed waste and sewage through floodwaters and into populated areas," it added...

American mercenaries eye Gaza 'aid' contracts: Report

from al Mayadeen English

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) officially ceased operations this week, just six months after its launch, amid widespread criticism of its privatized, militarized approach to aid distribution, which contributed to the deaths of approximately 2,000 Palestinian aid seekers.

With GHF now closed, humanitarian assistance in Gaza is being managed by the United Nations and other non-governmental organizations, in coordination with the US-led Civil-Military Coordination Center, which monitors the ceasefire agreement. However, private contractors appear poised to maintain a role in the territory.

One company, UG Solutions (UGS), previously responsible for "armed security" at GHF aid sites, is reportedly preparing to staff up for operations at up to 15 new aid distribution points in Gaza starting in December, according to Drop Site.

UGS has faced intense scrutiny for its past activities, including allegations from former Green Beret and UGS contractor Anthony Aguilar, who witnessed war crimes during his deployment. The company also came under fire for employing at least ten members of an anti-Muslim biker gang in its "security operations."...

DC National Guard Shooter Worked for CIA-Backed Kandahar Strike Force in Afghanistan

(I have written and said many times that these 'translators' we were told we can't leave behind in Afghanistan were in fact our terrorist proxy fighters, awful human beings who we trained and paid to do horrible things and as part of their pay, at the end of their contracts they were promised a trip to America and a job. And here we are. I mean, they just made another propaganda film about these guys being heroes and shit. They are terrorists, thugs, mercs who would do anything to their own for money and the approval of a foreign power. Terrorists and traitors and we bent over backwards to bring them here. Unbelievable.) 

from AntiWar

The suspect in the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, DC, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, worked for a CIA-backed “Zero Unit” known as the Kandahar Strike Force (KSF) or the “03” unit, which has been implicated in war crimes against Afghan civilians.

Lakanwal, 29, arrived in the US in September 2021 as part of a program called “Operation Allies Welcome,” which brought tens of thousands of Afghan nationals into the US during and after the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, mainly people who worked with the US against the Taliban.

Lakanwal was granted asylum by the Trump administration earlier this year. His cooperation with the CIA has been confirmed by the spy agency’s director, John Ratcliffe, who said Lakanwal worked “with the US Government, including CIA, as a member of a partner force in Kandahar.”
