The Decade-Long U.S. Campaign To Foment Syria’s “Revolution” And Unseat Assad

by Sarah Abed, Mint Press News

The fingerprints of U.S. imperialism can be found all over the manufactured insurrection in Syria, in keeping with the ultimate goal of destabilization and eventual “regime change”  through fomenting a sectarian civil war.  Former NATO commander Wesley Clark has gone on record as stating that Syria was on a list of targeted nations to be toppled by the U.S. as early as 2001. In 2002, former Secretary of State John Bolton gave a speech titled “Beyond the Axis of Evil” that listed Syria as a handful of nations that could expect to be targeted.

Fast forward to 2011, when an uprising was manufactured in the Syrian city of Dara’a, and Syrians desperate for economic change joined the calls for “freedom.” Mainstream media outlets have largely described the uprisings as being part of a “protest movement” made up of demonstrators who demand the ouster of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. But in reality, the main organizers and leaders of this so-called protest movement have been revealed to be U.S.-backed insurgents and foreign militants who have been armed, trained and funded by U.S. and NATO proxies for the purpose of destabilizing Syria though sectarianism.

CIA-backed Muslim Brotherhood assets were already in place to snipe at both police and protesters the day the first demonstrations broke out. Since then, the CIA has funneled hundreds of billions of dollars, as well as staggering amounts of arms, to jihadist recruits, many of whom have poured into Syria from surrounding countries.

The narrative most commonly put forth in mainstream media portrays the Syrian conflict as a popular uprising. However, a closer examination of the events that occurred in Dara’a in March 2011 – commonly described as the beginning of the conflict – reveals substantial and compelling evidence that not only contradicts the mainstream media’s portrayal but also strongly suggests the involvement, both financially and militarily, of outside influences and actuators.
The evidence of such involvement has piled up in the years since the conflict started. In 2012, Saudi General Anwar Al-Eshki admitted in a BBC interview that his government had financed Salafist Muslim Brotherhood elements and had sent weapons to the Al-Omari Mosque, some of which were later discovered and seized by Syrian security forces. These Salafist elements went on to form the backbone of the “Free Syrian Army,” a guerrilla force that has the stated goal of bringing down Assad and his government.
The Salafists have done much to terrorize the civilian population of Syria. In Karak, a village near Dara’a, villagers were forced to join anti-government protests and remove photos of Assad from their homes. Those who refused were killed.

“People want to go out and peacefully ask for certain changes, but Muslim Salafi groups are sneaking in with their goal, which is not to make changes for the betterment of Syria but to take over the country with their agenda,” one Syrian Christian leader told the International Christian Concern.

The following timeline portrays Syria’s descent into “civil war” as part of U.S.- and NATO-backed efforts to destabilize the country and achieve their ultimate goal of regime change...

US ‘slowing things down’ on troop withdrawal from Syria – top senator (on behalf of the Glorious Kurds... and ISRAEL)

from RT (I added something to the title for clarity)

The US troop withdrawal from Syria needs a “pause” in order to protect the Kurds, the potential interests of Israel, and to prevent Iran from scoring a big win in Syria, a top GOP senator has said.

The withdrawal of the US military from the country is currently in a “pause situation,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R- SC) told reporters on Monday after having lunch with President Trump at the White House.

“We talked about Syria. He told me some things I didn’t know that made me feel a lot better about where we’re headed in Syria,” said Graham, who is an outspoken critic of Trump's decision to pull troops out of Syria.

Earlier this month, Trump announced his decision to withdraw the US contingent – believed to be some 2,000-strong – from Syria, yet again claiming victory over the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) terrorist group in the country. Graham believes the group was not actually defeated and the president promised to destroy it again.

“He promised to destroy ISIS. He’s going to keep that promise. We’re not there yet,” said the senator.

Apart from that, Trump is “worried” about the potential dangers to Israel,” and will work with Ankara to ensure that “we don’t have a war between the Turks and our allies the Kurds,” Graham revealed...

"The President Is Reconsidering": Syria Pullout On Thin Ice After Lunch With Lindsey Graham (according to the liar, Lindsey Graham)

from Zero Hedge (I added to the title to make it more accurate)

President Trump is "reconsidering" his strategy to pull US forces out of Syria following an "eye-opening trip to Iraq" the day after Christmas, Bloomberg reports.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) who sits on the Senate Armed Forces Committee - a harsh critic of Trump's announced pullout, said earlier Sunday that he would try to change Trump's mind during a private lunch since the Islamic state isn't quite defeated in the region as the President had previously stated.

"I feel better about Syria than I felt before I had lunch," said Graham after he left the White House. "I think the president is taking this really seriously, and the trip to Iraq was well timed." Trump has apparently devised a strategy with his generals in the field that "makes sense" according to the Senator.

On Sunday morning, Graham told CNN's "State of the Union" that Trump had spoken with General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

"I got a call from General Dunford," said Graham. "The president is reconsidering how we do this."
The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on whether Trump is considering reversing the decision, announced by tweet earlier this month, to pull U.S. troops from Syria. That move, which came against the advice of the president’s top national security advisers, triggered the resignation of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis.
Trump has already has backed away from the notion of an immediate withdrawal, saying a week ago that the pullout of U.S. troops from the area would be “slow & highly coordinated.” -Bloomberg
Sort of like how Trump's "immediate" and full declassification of the Justice Department's Russiagate documents turned into a "slow & highly coordinated" handoff to the DOJ Inspector General.

When asked whether President Trump would be to blame if ISIS became more powerful after US troops leave Syria, Graham responded that the blame belongs to former President Barack Obama due to his decision to withdraw from Iraq in 2011...

David Tafuri Pushes Regime Change and Kurdistan on Tucker's Show

Mattis is out, and Blackwater is back: ‘We are coming’

from Military Times

Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis is out. 

Mattis' resignation comes amid news that President Donald Trump has directed the drawdown of 2,000 U.S. forces in Syria, and 7,000 U.S. forces from Afghanistan, a U.S. official confirmed to Military Times, a story first reported by the Wall Street Journal.

This month, in the January/February print issue of the gun and hunting magazine “Recoil," the former contractor security firm Blackwater USA published a full-page ad, in all black with a simple message: “We are coming.”

Is the war in Afghanistan — and possibly elsewhere ― about to be privatized?

If Blackwater returns, it would be the return of a private security contractor that was banned from Iraq, but re-branded and never really went away. By 2016 Blackwater had been re-named and restructured several times, and was known at the time as Constellis Group, when it was purchased by the Apollo Holdings Group. Reuters reported earlier this year that Apollo had put Constellis up for sale, but in June the sale was put on hold.

A representative for Constellis told Military Times late Friday that while it had acquired the former Blackwater training center in the 2016 purchase, it has no affiliation with the former security firm. It did not retain Blackwater’s founder and former CEO Erik Prince and has no current connection to him, or the firm’s former management structure.

The Recoil ad suggests Blackwater is making a resurgence on its own, but it was not clear in what form. The public affairs firm that handles Prince’s media engagements told Military Times Friday that he would not be able to speak beyond what was in the media “at this stage.”

Prince has courted President Donald Trump’s administration since he took office with the idea that the now 17-year Afghan War will never be won by a traditional military campaign. Prince has also argued that the logistical footprint required to support that now multi-trillion dollar endeavor has become too burdensome. Over the summer and into this fall Prince has engaged heavily with the media to promote the privatization; particularly as the Trump administration’s new South Asia Strategy, which was crafted with Mattis, passed the one-year mark.

Constellis, which had maintained a footprint at Camp Integrity by the Kabul Airport through its previous iteration as “Academi." The firm no longer trains there, the Constellis spokesman said...

SAA to Retake Manbij from Kurds Thanks to Turks


Erdogan's Samson Option in Manbij has paid off. His threat to take it from the Contras... oops, I mean the Kurds... was believed 100% by their Western handlers so the Kurds have started leaving the city (after occupying it for two years) as the SAA is starting to move in.

DOW Dropped 653 Points on Monday: Is Wall St Blackmailing Trump?


They have done this many times in the past. When the financial oligarchs don't get what they want, they don't have to hold a gun to a president's head anymore to make him change course. Now they have so much power and wealth and control of the market itself (with high speed trading computers) they can actually hold a gun to ours instead. They did it before with TARP. Are they doing it with Syria today?

While We Celebrate Family and Christmas, Israel Attacks Damascus


This is a developing story. From what I can gather, the IDF has launched a series of rockets targeting the capital city of Syria. They have cynically launched this attack knowing full well most Americans are not going to be paying attention to their crime of aggression on Christmas night.

UN Presentation Reveals US, UK-backed White Helmets as ‘Organ Traders, Terrorists & Looters’

from 21st Century Wire

The following UN presentation details many of the groups exploits, including staged rescues which were tailor-made for the group’s various propaganda films disseminated across western mainstream media. Testimonies included 21WIRE reporter Vanessa Beeley, along with witness statements taken from former White Helmet members who admit to carrying out various frauds and crimes perpetrated since the group’s inception in 2013, as well as admissions of their direct links to Jabat al-Nusra (al Qaeda in Syria) and other known terrorist groups.

Far from being the tailors, bakers, teachers and other ordinary Syrians” which they regularly portray themselves, the White Helmets have instead been exposed as frauds, thieves, kidnappers and organ traffickers.

RT International reports…

The ‘White Helmets’ are not a rescue group but an extension of jihadist militants, and should be designated a terrorist organization, Russia’s envoy to the UN argued at the presentation of evidence into the group’s wrongdoing.

Praised in the West as humanitarian rescue volunteers, in reality the ‘White Helmets’ work with Islamist militants in Syria, harvest organs from the victims they pretend to be “rescuing,” stage false chemical weapons and other attacks for cameras, and loot the bodies and homes of Syrians killed and injured in the war, according to Maxim Grigoriev, director of the Russia-based Foundation for the Study of Democracy...

Why the Real Left Should Defend Tucker Carlson Against Censorship

Tucker Carlson is being censored. His opinions on weaponized migration cause concern for those who seek to profit from it so the left is attacking him and Big Business are pulling their ads from his show in an effort to let everyone know certain opinions will NOT be tolerated in America. The real left should oppose this action 100%.



Sec. Defense "Mad Dog" of Fallujah Resigns and the Fake Left Hyperventilates

James Mattis has tendered his resignation letter to President Trump, citing differences of opinion regarding foreign policy objectives as his reasoning.

The fake left are beside themselves clutching their pearls and bemoaning the "chaos" of the Trump administration as he tries to pull troops out of Syria and supposedly Afghanistan.

Not too long ago they couldn't praise Obama enough for simply living up to the deal "W" made with the Iraqis and withdrawing our troops from that quagmire in 2011. Now Trumpster tries something similar and the press want him tried for treason and shot.

Trump Claims to Order Troops Out of Syria: Is it Real or a Set up?


We've been here before. When Obama and Kerry agreed to give up ISIS to the Russians, the glorious generals put an end to that deal right quick. This past April, same thing is announced, the desire to pull troops out of Syria and then our assets staged a phony chemical weapons attack to put an end to that.

Even if Trump believes it, unfortunately, there are forces at work within the Deep State and the MIC that will probably orchestrate yet another event to change his mind.

Sanders' Yemen Bill Allows IDF to Continue Attacks on Yemen Civilians

The loophole allowing US troops to stay in Yemen to "fight al Qaeda" wasn't enough for the good senator from Vermont, so he voted for an amendment to his BS bill which makes sure we allow Israel to take Saudi Arabia's place heading up the regime change operation in Yemen.




A Texas Elementary School Speech Pathologist Refused to Sign a Pro-Israel Oath, Now Mandatory in Many States — so She Lost Her Job

by Glenn Greenwald, The Intercept

A children's speech pathologist who has worked for the last nine years with developmentally disabled, autistic, and speech-impaired elementary school students in Austin, Texas, has been told that she can no longer work with the public school district, after she refused to sign an oath vowing that she “does not” and “will not” engage in a boycott of Israel or “otherwise tak[e] any action that is intended to inflict economic harm” on that foreign nation. A lawsuit on her behalf was filed early Monday morning in a federal court in the Western District of Texas, alleging a violation of her First Amendment right of free speech.

The child language specialist, Bahia Amawi, is a U.S. citizen who received a master’s degree in speech pathology in 1999 and, since then, has specialized in evaluations for young children with language difficulties (see video below). Amawi was born in Austria and has lived in the U.S. for the last 30 years, fluently speaks three languages (English, German, and Arabic), and has four U.S.-born American children of her own.

...Whatever one’s own views are, boycotting Israel to stop its occupation is a global political movement modeled on the 1980s boycott aimed at South Africa that helped end that country’s system of racial apartheid. It has become so mainstream that two newly elected members of the U.S. Congress explicitly support it, while boycotting Israeli companies in the occupied territories has long been advocated in mainstream venues by Jewish Zionist groups such as Peace Now and the Jewish-American Zionist writer Peter Beinart.

This required certification about Israel was the only one in the contract sent to Amawi that pertained to political opinions and activism. There were no similar clauses relating to children (such as a vow not to advocate for pedophiles or child abusers), nor were there any required political oaths that pertained to the country of which she is a citizen and where she lives and works: the United States...

Corporations See a Different Kind of “Green” in Ocasio-Cortez’s “Green New Deal”

by Whitney Webb, Mint Press News
 
There is nothing “progressive” about the Ocasio-Cortez-promoted “New Green Deal,” which is little more than an industry-driven, neoliberal solution that will not solve issues like climate change and poverty but instead empower their underlying cause: U.S. oligarchy.

In recent weeks, support from progressives and establishment liberals has been pouring in for the “Green New Deal,” a plan largely promoted by U.S. Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York. The plan claims that it seeks to “transform the U.S. economy in an effort to fight climate change” that would ostensibly push the U.S. from fossil fuels to 100 percent renewable energy in a little over a decade.
 
Though Ocasio-Cortez and others have claimed that the measure is “anti-establishment” and has been mocked by the corporate media, it has recently gained the support of over 30 House Democrats and won endorsements from mainstream media pundits such as Van Jones of CNN. 

Jones — who is a senior fellow at the Clinton-connected, John Podesta-led think tank the Center for American Progress, and a former Obama adviser — recently called the Ocasio-Cortez-promoted plan “the smartest, most practical idea in U.S. politics to address two urgent problems: climate change and poverty.”...

Anti-Trump dossier author was hired to help Hillary challenge 2016 election results

from the Washington Times

British ex-spy Christopher Steele, who wrote the Democrat-financed anti-Trump dossier, said in a court case that he was hired by a Democratic law firm in preparation for Hillary Clinton challenging the results of the 2016 presidential election.

He said the law firm Perkins Coie wanted to be in a position to contest the results based on evidence he unearthed on the Trump campaign conspiring with Moscow on election interference.

His scenario is contained in a sealed Aug. 2 declaration in a defamation law suit brought by three Russian bankers in London. The trio’s American attorneys filed his answers Tuesday in a libel lawsuit in Washington against the investigative firm Fusion GPS, which handled the former British intelligence officer.

In an answer to interrogatories, Mr. Steele wrote: “Fusion’s immediate client was law firm Perkins Coie. It engaged Fusion to obtain information necessary for Perkins Coie LLP to provide legal advice on the potential impact of Russian involvement on the legal validity of the outcome of the 2016 US Presidential election.

“Based on that advice, parties such as the Democratic National Committee and HFACC Inc. (also known as ‘Hillary for America’) could consider steps they would be legally entitled to take to challenge the validity of the outcome of that election.”...

Every Single Member of US Congress Approved Crushing Sanctions on Nicaragua

by Ben Norton from Mint Press

Every single member in both chambers of the US Congress approved legislation that will impose sanctions and financial restrictions on Nicaragua in an explicit effort to weaken its government.

Known as the NICA Act, the bill is now on its way to the desk of President Donald Trump, who will almost certainly sign it into law. Its passage was spearheaded by neoconservative lawmakers centered around the Miami lobby of right-wing Latin American exiles dedicated to eradicating any iteration of socialism in the Western hemisphere.

The United States has spent decades trying to topple Nicaragua’s government, now led by the left-wing Sandinista movement. In April, US-backed opposition figures launched an unsuccessful and exceedingly violent coup attempt in the Central American country — one of the last bastions of leftist politics in an increasingly right-leaning Latin America.

The newly approved Nicaraguan Investment and Conditionality Act(NICA) will give the US president the authority to impose targeted sanctions on Nicaraguan government officials, former officials, or people purportedly “acting on behalf of” Managua.

The bill also seeks to prevent international financial institutions from providing “any loan or financial or technical assistance” to Nicaragua’s government.

The NICA Act enjoyed bipartisan support, but the campaign behind it was largely led by neoconservative Florida Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, with help from Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz. Ros-Lehtinen and Cruz met for a Facebook live this December 13 to celebrate the bill’s passage.

In June, these three right-wing Cuban-American lawmakers gathered with young leaders of the Nicaraguan opposition in Washington, DC...

Newly Released 'Integrity Intitiative' Papers Include Proposal For Large Disinformation Campaigns

from Moon of Alabama

The person(s) who first published documents of the shady UK organization Integrity Initiative decided that the discussion is about the Initiative is not yet sufficient and published more documents.

The first dump on the Cyberguerilla site happened on November 5. We discussed it here. A smaller dump on November 29 revealed more about the UK government paid Integrity Initiatives influence work in Germany, Spain and Greece. A third dump followed today.

The leaker, who uses the widely abused Anonymous label, promises to publish more...

The most interesting paper I found so far is:

COMBATTING RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION
LAUNCHING AN ONLINE COMMUNICATIONS CAMPAIGN TO INFORM, DEBUNK, AND COMBAT STATE-SPONSORED PROPAGANDA
Comprehensive action proposal
(pdf)...


... But as we saw in the information revealed yesterday there is more to it. The Initiative, which has lots of 'former' military and intelligence people among its staff, is targeting the political left in Britain as well as in other countries. It is there where it becomes a danger to the democratic societies of Europe.

Judge Agrees with Me that ObamaCare MANDATE is Unconstitutional

by Scott Creighton

Even before it was made into law I wrote that the mandate in the Affordable Care Act was unconstitutional. It was a giveaway to Big Insurance making sure young, healthy people who didn't want health insurance HAD to buy it so that Big Insurance could take their money FOR NOTHING.

I called it the Fascist Healthcare Bill because it was. It was written by republicans, centrist Dems and insurance industry insiders. I have opposed it since before it was even voted on.

Yesterday a judge in Texas ruled with 18 states that the mandate is unconstitutional in spite of the fact that the Supreme Court has already ruled it is constitutional based on the flimsy excuse that the payments count as a "tax" on the people of the nation.

Paying a "tax" directly to Big Business is just fine with the Supreme Court. Why not, right?
"In a ruling released Friday evening, a federal judge in Texas sided with states arguing that key provisions of the Affordable Care Act or "Obamacare" are unconstitutional. The decision is almost certain to be appealed, but creates new uncertainty for the country's healthcare system. 

Texas led 19 states arguing that the individual mandate — the requirement that everyone must have health insurance — is unconstitutional, after Congress gutted the key portion of the mandate, the tax penalty for not buying coverage. 

U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor in the Northern District of Texas agreed with those states and ruled the individual mandate unconstitutional. Because the mandate is an essential part of the ACA in the judge's view, that led him to rule that the entire health law should be struck down..." Business Insider

The expansion of Medicare and Medicaid was optional, up to the individual states to allow it. The provision requiring Big Insurance to provide coverage to folks with per-existing conditions was flawed due to the fact that they could still charge a lot more to those folks who have the conditions.

And in the end, I know a lot of people from my time writing American Everyman blog who told us horror stories about friends and relatives who were CRUSHED by the expense of the coverage, WHICH THEY STILL COULDN'T USE DUE TO EXTENSIVE COSTS.

If this kills fascist, ultra-right ObamaCare, so be it.

Like Dennis Kucinich said the day before taking a ride with ObamaGod and getting his mind right:

"This is WORSE than doing nothing"

‘Bolton is preparing plan for my assassination, with help from Bogota’ – Venezuela’s Maduro

from RT International

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has accused US National Security Advisor John Bolton of preparing a plot to murder him, and also has called out Colombian leader Ivan Duque as Bolton’s accomplice. 
 
“John Bolton is leading the plan to unleash violence and conduct a coup to introduce a transitional government” in Venezuela, Maduro said at a press-conference, which was broadcast live on his Facebook page.Bolton is preparing a plan for my assassination.”

 Trump’s national security adviser has organized the training of mercenaries and paramilitary units “in various places” to be used against Venezuela, he said.

Maduro claimed that more than 730 armed thugs are ready to launch provocations and to attack military bases in Venezuela.

According to the Venezuelan leader, Bolton’s plot is being carried out with the heavy involvement of Colombia, with its president Ivan Duque being “his accomplice.” Maduro then slammed Duque as Washington’s puppet, who “can’t even go to the toilet without permission from the US ambassador in Bogota.”...

Offical Charter - 25 Demands of Yellow Vest Movement (NE video)

This is the English translation of the official charter and 25 demands of the Yellow Vests movement in France.




St. Dept Spox Disgusted by Question About Israeli Raid of WAFA

The worse Israel behaves toward the Palestinians, the more our officials openly despise anyone who dares ask about it. Imagine if Rouhani, Putin, Maduro, Ortega, Assad or Raul Castro had done this. Imagine if their snipers had just killed a 4-year-old boy and then raided a news agency to silence reports about it. Not only would the State Department already be condemning the acts, but they would be calling for a humanitarian intervention and a NATO "no fly zone"

But Israel does it and we see only contempt for those who dare mention it in public.

"Green New Deal" is a Neoliberal Nightmare and Must Be Exposed


As many have speculated about the global warming campaign, AOC's "Green New Deal" panel proposal appears to be geared toward setting up another TARP bailout or ObamaCare fraud written by business insiders and neoliberal technocrats. And according to even it's supporters, the proposal she has on her website seems to suggest a remake of our entire society from the ground up, written by Big Business, of Big Business and for Big Business.

Ocasio-Cortez' Neoliberal "Green New Deal" is a New TARP Bailout and ObamaCare Rolled into One

by Scott Creighton

Like ObamaGod before her, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a neoliberal and she is being groomed for higher office, of that you can be sure.

She was trained in the art of neoliberal economic ideology and international relations at Boston University, one of the most expensive schools in the country (est. $300,000 for her degree) and one that exclusively teaches neoliberal economic ideology in it's economics department. She graduated with honors. Apparently the neoliberal staff (4 of the most highly respected neoliberal economists of the world teach there) thought very highly of her and have high hopes for her future.

Then she started pretending she was just a socialist "girl from the Bronx" because let's face it, claiming to be a silver-spooner centrist neoliberal wont get anyone elected to anything these days. And that's just a fact.

As we come to learn that Big Oil actually helped write the Paris Climate Accord in an effort (successful) to ensure the accord was a "market based" approach, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has submitted for congressional approval her own (somewhat plagiarized) version of the Green Party's so-called "Green New Deal" and guess what? It's almost entirely "market based" as well.

When you bring "industry insiders" into any political process these days, what you end up with is the repeal of Glass-Steagall or TARP or ObamaCare the endless Global War OF Terror because industry insiders want to make sure, they are there to make sure, their industry's top institutions will profit from said process to the fullest extent possible.

Mussolini had a name for that type of governance but we can't mention anymore kinda like an addict can't look in the mirror... but it starts with an "f" if that helps.

Ammon Bundy Stands with Macron Against Trump, Nationalism and Borders

Betcha didn't see this comin. And you know who stands with both these guys? Mint Press News' Emma! Yep. The fake progressive herself.


Footage from Yellow Vest Protest in Paris

The protests are getting larger. After a week of videos showing cops beating young protesters and subjecting school kids to ridiculous levels of repression, seems like more and more Parisians are turning out on the streets to protest Macron and his "centrist" (read as "right of Reagan") neoliberal economic policies.




Trump Tweet Instigating Bomb Scare at CNN is MORE FAKE NEWS


Folks like Don Lemon saying the Trump tweet came before the bomb threat was called in are conveying FAKE NEWS to you. Literally putting the cart before the horse.

Isn't it odd that every time Trump mentions the MSM's propensity to mislead their audiences, CNN has to evacuate their building?

The police said the bomb scare was "not substantiated" but that doesn't mean there were no bombs... that means the claim of the threat itself seems to be unsubstantiated.

Almost seems like someone is using terrorist threats against their own employees in order to get Trump to stop telling folks... what they already know about the MSM (do they think we have forgotten the lead-up to the Iraq invasion?)

More on Colin Kaepernick and Blacklists in America

What has happened to Colin Kaepernick goes way beyond the NFL. We see a steady rise in blacklists here in the states. Prop or Not. The Atlantic Council working with Facebook. Twitter banning folks left and right. PayPal, Patreon, Youtube, Google, WordPress... more and more we see corporate America feeling empowered to dis-empower and even disappear numbers of us at will simply because they don't like what we say or stand for. If you like Trump or think "Blue Lives Matter" doesn't matter. You should be concerned about the long term ramifications of Kap's blacklisting and the normalization of this kind of action is our society.

Youtube Monitizing my Videos Without My Consent

by Scott Creighton



Well that's a fine how do you do ain't it? Youtube wipes out my American Everyman channel on trumped up charges of violating some guidelines or something and then when my new backup channel reaches 1,000 subscribers, the pricks decide they are going to cash in on my new work.

I have NOT set up monitization on my channel and I have not authorized Youtube to do it for me, yet here we are... with an ad on my latest video. I wonder if they did that to all my previous videos as well.

Shouldn't be shocked. WordPress made money putting ads on my American Everyman website til I paid to have my own site (americaneveryman.com) and THEN they decided to shut me down. For no reason.

A Nation Mourns a Monster: Remembering the Real George H. W. Bush

It should come as no shock that our national oligarchs and the servants they own are beside themselves today mourning a monster, George H. W. Bush.




Tribute to George H.W. Bush: DRUG CARTEL GAVE CONTRAS $10 MILLION, COURT TOLD

by Michael Isikoff, Washington Post 1991

The Medellin cartel, once branded by U.S. officials as the world's most violent and powerful drug-trafficking organization, made a $10 million contribution to the U.S.-backed contra guerrillas fighting during the 1980s to overthrow Nicaragua's Sandinista government, a former cartel leader testified today.

In startling new testimony at the trial of deposed Panamanian leader Manuel Antonio Noriega, convicted smuggler Carlos Lehder, one of the founding members of the Colombian cartel, also implicated top political figures in the Bahamas and Colombia -- major U.S. allies in the war on drugs -- in cartel activities.

The testimony creates a problem for federal prosecutors who have vouched for his credibility and used him as a key witness in their drug-trafficking and racketeering case against Noriega.

Once described by U.S. government officials as the most notorious cocaine trafficker ever apprehended, Lehder was sentenced in 1988 to life plus 135 years. He acknowledged yesterday that he was testifying for the government in hopes of winning a reduced sentence that will allow him to return to Colombia. "As a foreigner, I believe eventually I will be deported back to my country before I die," he said.

Lehder's comments about the cartel's links to the contras could prove invaluable to Noriega's lawyers, who are expected to argue that the Central Intelligence Agency deliberately overlooked and even condoned close connections between the contras and drug traffickers allegedly affiliated with Noriega.

Lehder provided no details about the cartel's alleged financial contributions to the contras and appeared to give the testimony reluctantly under relentless cross-examination by Frank Rubino, Noriega's lead attorney.

Asked whether the cartel had shipped cocaine to the United States using the Costa Rican ranch of American John Hull, a principal figure in the secret contra resupply network organized by then-White House aide Oliver L. North, Lehder said that "could have been" true but that he had no direct knowledge of it.

Then Rubino asked whether the cartel had contributed directly to the contras. "To the best of my recollection, there was some contribution to the contra anti-communist movement," Lehder replied. "It could be around $10 million."

Asked if he personally participated in the contribution, Lehder responded, "Apparently, I did."...

The Bush Family Dynasty

by Steven Lendman

World headlines announced the passing of GHW Bush at age-94, eulogizing him, ignoring the disturbing Bush family legacy.

It’s not pretty. It goes back over four generations – during and after WW I, closely connected to Wall Street and America’s military, industrial, security complex.

George H. Walker and Samuel Prescott were dual founding fathers. Walker was a St. Louis financier, later working for Averell Harriman, a core member of US foreign policy elders known as “The Wise Men,” along with Dean Acheson, George Kennan and others.

They were lawyers, bankers and diplomats, together when Truman became president in 1945, involved in creating the Truman Doctrine to counter Soviet Russia, the Marshall Plan to keep European countries from going communist post-WW II, and Cold War containment, Kennan the chief architect of containing the Soviet Union after Nazi Germany and imperial Japan were defeated...

George H.W. Bush, the CIA and a Case of State-Sponsored Terrorism

by Robert Parry from Consortium News (back when they were actually good in Sept of 2000)

 In early fall of 1976, after a Chilean government assassin had killed a Chilean dissident and an American woman with a car bomb in Washington, D.C., George H.W. Bush’s CIA leaked a false report clearing Chile’s military dictatorship and pointing the FBI in the wrong direction. 

The bogus CIA assessment, spread through Newsweek magazine and other U.S. media outlets, was planted despite CIA’s now admitted awareness at the time that Chile was participating in Operation Condor, a cross-border campaign targeting political dissidents, and the CIA’s own suspicions that the Chilean junta was behind the terrorist bombing in Washington. 

In a 21-page report to Congress on Sept. 18, 2000, the CIA officially acknowledged for the first time that the mastermind of the terrorist attack, Chilean intelligence chief Manuel Contreras, was a paid asset of the CIA. 

The CIA report was issued almost 24 years to the day after the murders of former Chilean diplomat Orlando Letelier and American co-worker Ronni Moffitt, who died on Sept. 21, 1976, when a remote-controlled bomb ripped apart Letelier’s car as they drove down Massachusetts Avenue, a stately section of Washington known as Embassy Row...

George H.W. Bush, the 41st U.S. president and father of the 43rd, has died at age 94

from USA Today

George Herbert Walker Bush, the president who managed the end of the Cold War and forged a global coalition to oust Iraqi forces from Kuwait, has died at age 94. In a political career that spanned three decades, he lost his bid for re-election and lived to see his son win the Oval Office.

The death of Bush — nicknamed "41" to distinguish himself from son George W. Bush, "43" — was announced in a statement released late Friday.

"Jeb, Neil, Marvin, Doro and I are saddened to announce that after 94 remarkable years, our dear Dad has died," his son, former President George W. Bush, said in a statement released by family spokesman Jim McGrath. "George H.W. Bush was a man of the highest character and the best dad a son or daughter could ask for. The entire Bush family is deeply grateful for 41's life and love, for the compassion of those who have cared and prayed for Dad, and for the condolences of our friends and fellow citizens."...

Marc Lamont Hill Fired by CNN for Expressing Some REAL NEWS


 Marc Lamont Hill Learns the Helen Thomas Lesson: "You cannot criticize Israel in this country and survive."



Let's see if ZioCuck Trump has the balls to call CNN "fake news" over this.

Marc Lamont Hill has been fired by CNN for exposing some  REAL NEWS from Palestine and beyond. He called for a return to June 1967 borders, global solidarity movement and support for BDS. For that, he was demonized by various groups online and with calls to CNN to fire him, which they did.


Pentagon says Riyadh is too important to whip, rolls out $15bn THAAD arms deal instead

from RT   (H/T Whitney)

The US rarely has 'unblemished' partners so it will pour more defensive weapons into Saudi Arabia despite outrage over Khashoggi and Yemen, Pentagon chief James Mattis admitted as the nation handed the kingdom a big new deal.

The most-recent major US-Saudi arms deal was rolled out on Wednesday. Riyadh is seeking to get THAAD air defense missile systems, and the terms of the purchase were quietly formalized this week, the State Department announced. Under the $15 billion contract, Riyadh will receive 44 THAAD launchers, missiles and related equipment.

The news of a yet another lucrative contract came the very same day Secretary of Defense James Mattis and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo rushed to defend the kingdom against the mounting anger in the Senate over the murder of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi and the bloody war in Yemen. Speaking at a closed-door briefing, they explained that Saudi Arabia is simply too important to scrap existing bonds.

The Pentagon's chief called Riyadh "fundamental" to regional and Israeli security, as well as crucial for the US' own interests.

"We are seldom free to work with unblemished partners," Mattis bluntly admitted. He went on to argue that the ties with the kingdom "cannot be dismissed" even as Washington condemned Khashoggi's death...

Marc Lamont Hill UN Speech That Got Him Fired From CNN

"Marc Lamont Hill UN United Nations Speech That Got Him Fired From. CNN severed ties with contributor Marc Lamont Hill on Thursday, following comments the university professor made about I and Pal in a speech at the United Nations. “Marc Lamont Hill is no longer under contract with CNN,” a CNN spokesperson said Hill urged countries to boycott Israel in a speech on Wednesday, calling for a “free P from the river to the sea.” His comments sparked an immediate backlash, with many noting “from the river to the sea” is a phrase used by H and other groups. The phrase implies the replacement of Israel by a Pal. stretching from the Jordan River to the MedSea — though Hill disputes this characterization of his comments. “We have an opportunity to not just offer solidarity in words but to commit to political action, grass-roots action, local action and international action that will give us what justice requires and that is a free Pal from the river to the sea,” Hill said in his speech."

Sanders, Lee, Murphy Resolution is Not What It Appears - Attacks Will Continue

The new resolution being hailed by folks on the left as a victory is not what it seems. It allows for more U.S. bombing of "al Qaeda" in Yemen like what Barack Obama did on Dec. 17 2009 which killed 23 children.

'Yellow Vests' Movement Has Led to Major Rallies, Unacceptable Violence - Macron

from Sputnik International

More than 287,000 people have taken part in protests over the rise in fuel prices. The demonstrations have been harshly condemned by French President Emmanuel Macron.

The yellow vests movement has stirred major demonstrations and unacceptable violence, according to Macron.

The AFP reported, citing the French president, that he hears the protesters, but won't scrap fuel taxes.

"What I've taken from these last few days is that we shouldn't change course because it is the right one and necessary. But we need to change how we work because a number of our citizens feel this policy course is imposed on them from above," he said....

Ukrainian parliament votes to impose martial law

from Politico

Ukraine’s parliament voted to impose martial law for 30 days in the wake of Russia seizing three Ukrainian vessels.

The vote was taken after President Petro Poroshenko made a personal appeal to lawmakers. They voted for martial law to be brought in for 30 days, starting on Wednesday.

It will allow authorities to restrict public rallies and regulate the media.

The move came after Russia on Sunday opened fire on two Ukrainian armored artillery vessels and a tug boat off the coast of Crimea, which Russia’s FSB security service claimed had illegally entered its territorial waters. Russian authorities then seized the three naval ships and blocked the Kerch Strait. It was reopened on Monday. Poroshenko denied the vessels had done anything wrong.

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg urged Moscow to release the 24 Ukrainian servicemen whom they had taken captive, adding that “all allies” had expressed “full support” for Ukraine’s territorial sovereignty.

Psyops oops? UK-funded 'anti-Russian' programme outed in leak

Isn't this interesting? A UK program to propagandize US and European audiences is set up to demonize Russia around the same time GCHQ and MI6 are busy spying on US presidential candidates and then ultimately doing their best to throw an election over here... while trying to frame Russia... for trying to throw an election over here. Cute right?

Sibel Edmonds Releases New Info on Khashoggi Psyop

Yes, I know... but Sibel Edmonds has joined a small group of writers exposing the Jamal Khashoggi disappearance as psyop designed to put pressure on MbS on behalf of the globalist financial interests looking to profit from the neoliberalization of Saudi Arabia. It's good work and worth reading.

Thank you all for getting me to 1,000 subscriber mark. It means a lot to me.




Khashoggi Case: A Massive PsyOp Concocted by CIA-MI6-Mossad -- SIBEL EDMONDS

by Sibel Edmonds from 12160



*This is an Urgent Summary Report on the Khashoggi Case. I will be following this up with a detailed article series and video reports at Newsbud. Also, at the bottom this report I have a brief status report for my amazing Newsbud Community Members, explaining my three-month absence.
 
After 55 days covering the Jamal Khashoggi Case, 24 X 7, on the ground, in Turkey, with over 600 reports and analyses, via my pinned thread @sibeledmonds on Twitter (due to not having access to my computers and being equipped only with one cell phone), I am ready to conclude and publicize my investigative report.

The Khashoggi Case is a massive PsyOp concocted by MI6, CIA and Mossad, with the cooperation and participation of certain high-level Saudi Government intelligence officers.
For the first 53 days of my investigation of this case, while posting reports and analyses via Twitter posts on an almost hourly-basis, I had refrained from a definitive conclusion, partly to protect my sources, but also due to fulfilling the requirement of having documents and at least two direct named (and vetted/legitimate sources).

Yesterday I broke the news on the bombshell revelations by Former Director of the Turkish Military Intelligence Services, General Ismail Hakki Pekin, via Oda TV Live Coverage on Nov 21. See the 6-min video clip below

http://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=5&v=ftTx1saPF2I

General Pekin, an insider with a long career in Intelligence who has high-level contacts and sources within MI6, CIA and Mossad, made the following statements (Summary Translation) while risking severe backlash from the government here in Turkey:

Tear gas & water cannon hit Paris during massive fuel protests in France (WATCH LIVE)

from RT

Tear gas and a water cannon were deployed in Paris as protesters again flooded the streets against fuel prices hikes. Thousands have been protesting across France against the measure, which resulted in massive blockades. 
 
Saturday marks the second week in a row that protests have been held in the French capital and across the country. Some 3,000 security personnel have been deployed to deal with the rally in the city alone. (as of Sat. morning 11/24/2018 the video below is a live look at what is happening in Paris right now)




Anonymous blows lid off huge psyop in Europe and it's funded by UK & US

from RT

Anonymous has published documents which it claims have unearthed a massive UK-led psyop to create a "large-scale information secret service" in Europe – all under the guise of countering "Russian propaganda." 
 
In a document dump on November 5, the group exposed the UK-based 'Integrity Initiative', said to have been established by the ominously titled Institute for Statecraft in 2015.

The main objective is "to provide a coordinated Western response to Russian disinformation and other elements of hybrid warfare." The Institute for Statecraft is affiliated with the NATO HQ Public Diplomacy Division and the Home Office-funded 'Prevent' program, so objectivity is, of course, at the forefront of their work.
Operating on a budget of £1.9 million (US$2.4 million), the secretive Integrity Initiative consists of "clusters" of local politicians, journalists, military personnel, scientists and academics. The team is dedicated to searching for and publishing "evidence" of Russian interference in European affairs, while themselves influencing leadership behind the scenes, the documents claim.

The UK establishment appears to be conducting the very activities of which it and its allies have long-accused the Kremlin, with little or no corroborating evidence. The program also aims to "change attitudes in Russia itself" as well as influencing Russian speakers in the EU and North America, one of the leaked documents states.

At present, the vast network allegedly has clusters for Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Greece, the Netherlands, Lithuania, Norway, Serbia, and Montenegro... but there's more!

According to the Anonymous leak, major plans to expand the sphere of influence throughout eastern Europe, the US, and Canada, as well as the MENA region, are allegedly underway...

How Caitlin Johnstone is Just Plain Wrong about "Conspiracy Theories"

by Scott Creighton

What do you do when there is an outbreak of a deadly virus wreaking havoc in your society, infecting and killing scores of the population and it's reaching epidemic proportions? You seek out and find patient zero for it is there and only there where you will find the cure in that unadulterated, pure, original strain of the threat.

You find that, you isolate it, you expose it and eventually you use it to inoculate the remaining population against the virus' offspring.

You do that not to avenge those who are already gone... but to save and protect those who remain.

The United States suffers from a sickness. A virus of sorts. And the only way to stop it's spread (as we all know it is spreading in many ways with many variants) is to find the source, the original source (patient zero) and from there start to heal.

We have heard for the better part of 16 years (though I personally only became aware of the true nature of the events of Sept. 11 2001 in late 2005) all the arguments Caitlin Johnstone recently cobbled together in an article she titled "Nothing In Any Conspiracy Theory Is As Bad As What’s Being Done Out In The Open"

The core of her now cliched argument can be summed up with this tweet she put out yesterday:
""I often get conspiracy buffs asking/telling me to write about this or that theory of 9/11 or the JFK assassination or whatever, and I’m just like, dude, have you seen the stuff they’re doing in broad daylight??" Caitlin Johnstone
It has been a long established cliche for so-called "alternative" writers and activists to distance themselves from the Truth Movement with this parroted talking point as it allows them to sit on the fence and not take a side one way or the other when it comes to any number of so-called "conspiracy theories" whether that be JFK or 9/11 or Amerithrax or the American Gladio campaign or election rigging or LIBOR or whatever.

I believe the first to employ this particularly vapid approach was Noam Chomsky when he used it to explain why he never delved his big brain into the murder of a seated president or the "New Pearl Harbor type event" of 2001.
