Vladimir Putin recently made comments on the seriousness of global conflicts that can lead to nuclear conflict. Patriots worldwide should pay close attention as the globalists build their dangerous nuclear arsenal.

A prominent Swedish lawmaker asserts that Hungarian billionaire George Soros's influence on European politics and policies make him "one of the most dangerous men,"
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – A Finnish political economist and
author highlighted predicaments of nations that refused to adopt
strategies of resistance against US unilateralism, saying Ukraine, for
instance, became “the poorest” country in Europe after succumbing to
Washington’s bullying.
“Look
at Ukraine; they succumbed to USA bullying and propaganda and now their
country has become the poorest in Europe although it used to be the
industrial powerhouse of the Soviet Union,” Jon Hellevig said in an
interview with the Tasnim News Agency.
“And look at Germany,
France, and the whole European Union. Subjugated to the USA, they are
being ruined with a stagnant economy for more than a decade and deep
social and cultural crises,” he added.
Jon Krister Hellevig is
a Finnish lawyer and businessman who has worked in Russia since the
early 1990s. Hellevig was a candidate in the European parliament
election in 2014. He is the managing partner of the Moscow-based law
company Hellevig, Klein & Usov. Hellevig has written several books,
including Avenir Guide to Russian Taxes (2002, 2003, 2006 English and
Russian editions); Avenir Guide to Labor Laws (2002, 2003, 2006 English
and Russian editions). Expressions and Interpretations, a book on the
philosophy of law and the development of Russian legal practices;
Hellevig takes actively part in public discussion of current affairs and
social structure contributing with articles and commentary in the
media. He regularly lectures at international seminars on various
topics.
Following is the full text of the interview:
Tasnim:
International developments are full of examples of how regional and
trans-regional countries have successfully adopted strategies of
resistance against oppression and unilateralism that have borne good
results. As you know, countries like Iran, Syria, Yemen, Venezuela, and
Palestine have protected their national sovereignty against foreign
threats and achieved many gains through this strategy. In contrast, some
countries have adopted a strategy of appeasement or reconciliation when
being hectored and bullied by world powers. Given the experiences of
these resistance countries, what do you think about their approach and
the concept of resistance?
Hellevig:
Naturally, resistance is the only choice, come what comes. At the same
time, the resistance strategy must be smart and strive to build bridges
to other countries outside the enemy. Tasnim: Do you think
countries that currently toe the line of major powers like the US ought
to emulate these experiences of resistance countries to protect their
independence and stand against unilateralism?
Hellevig:
Obviously they should. It’s a question of both the material and moral
well-being of the people and their very existence in the long-term. Look
at Ukraine; they succumbed to USA bullying and propaganda and now their
country has become the poorest in Europe although it used to be the
industrial powerhouse of the Soviet Union. And look at Germany, France,
and the whole European Union. Subjugated to the USA, they are being
ruined with a stagnant economy for more than a decade and deep social
and cultural crises. The traditional way of life of those European
countries is rapidly being destroyed with their social structures torn
apart. In fact, the very existence of those nations is now at risk.
Tasnim:
In an op-ed article written for Tasnim, the Secretary of Iran’s Supreme
National Security Council, Ali Shamkhani, warned the European countries
of the risks of inaction regarding the US administration’s unilateral
policies, saying the current EU leaders will be held accountable for
Europe’s future challenges. Shamkhani criticized Europe for becoming an
unimportant and passive actor that accepts humiliation at the hands of
the US and has to live with the destructive effects of Washington’s
unilateralism that have affected several international treaties. What is
your take on that? Isn’t it better for the EU to stand up to US
bullying and unilateralism?
Hellevig:
The European Union and its main constituent countries are not
independent nations as they have been taken over by US-led globalists.
Their armies belong to the US umbrella organization NATO, their
intelligence services are CIA branches, their media is owned by the
globalists, their capitalists are totally at the mercy of the US market
and its bullying terms, etc. Given these circumstances,
independent-minded politicians do not have a chance to come to power,
not in the individual states nor the totally undemocratic European
Union.
The problems are fortunately building up in the European
Union and with President Trump’s erratic policies the relationship is
becoming increasingly fraught. But things must get much worse before the
European people will mature to free themselves from the globalist yoke.
I am afraid, it will take an enormous financial and economic crisis to
bring that about. But this crisis will come for sure, sooner or later.
Paradoxically, an attack on Iran might be the final trigger for that.
And this is what holds the Americans at bay from Iran, at least for the
time being. On the other hand, the US economy is so bad with enormous
asset bubbles in every field of the economy, stock markets, housing
etc., massive budget and trade deficits and skyrocketing debt.
Therefore, there might be some people in the USA who could possibly
consider war and ensuing financial crisis as a means to extract the
country from those problems, to let everything crash and start the
global economy anew from ground zero.
I
had today a stopover at a small provincial town in Northern Finland.
They were having their annual fair. After having enjoyed a fantastic
street stall portion of crispy fried vendace, I strolled around. I then
spotted the official Finnish protestant state church (yep, no separation
of state and church here) had their stall there, too. That prompted me
to ask a question, I long had in mind.
I approached the
representatives of the church and asked why the Finnish state church had
engaged in a propaganda campaign to support the jihadist terrorists of
Aleppo. From 12th to 24th of October 2016 the Finnish churches were
every day ringing their church bells “in support of the victims of
Aleppo bombings” by the Russian and Syrian forces. I asked those people
whether they knew that it was all the other way around and that the
Russians and Syrian government forces were liberating the people of
Aleppo from the brutal rule of the US sponsored terrorists. – They did
not know it.
“The church is engaged in various campaigns from
time to time,” I was told. – That I know, I said, and added that the
most recent campaign was that of being the official sponsor of the
Helsinki Pride sodomite pervert parade. ‘The church wants to live with
the times,” the young church official replied, and continued “that’s why
the church went in there as a business partner of the pride march.” –
BUSINESS PARTNER, I exclaimed. How can the church possibly be a business
partner of anything. What kind of business is this church engaged in?!?
“The church changes with the times,” my interlocutor said as three fat
women colleagues looked on. I was mighty surprised to hear that. I said,
how can the church which supposedly bases its faith in God’s immutable
words change. Are you then saying that the bible isn’t for real? And do
you mean the church was lying 100 years ago, or 50 years ago, when it
professed another opinion on sodomy? Or are you lying today? Which way
do you want to have it, I inquired?
I continued that line of
discussion and then eventually left with the note that I was happy that
so many people are leaving that fake politicized church. Membership used
to be some 90% of the population when I was young, and now it is down
to 60% and sinking.
I am not against sex in any consensual form
between willing adults performed in privacy, but I am against this NWO
globalist campaign of public perversion aimed at breaking down the
fabric of society by means of this devilish campaign.
This
perversion and its sister gender hoax is right up there with the climate
hoax as key means of the globalists to destroy family and national
values in order to break down society and make people more malleable for
one world government rule. Naturally, the population replacement
program by means of mass migration serves the same cause.
The Trump-Putin meeting in Japan is crucial for both leaders—and for the world.
Despite determined attempts in Washington to sabotage such a “summit,” as I reported previously,
President Trump and Russian President Putin are still scheduled to meet
at the G-20 gathering in Japan this week. Iran will be at the top of
their agenda. The Trump administration seems determined to wage cold,
possibly even hot, war against the Islamic Republic, while for Moscow,
as emphasized by the Kremlin’s national security adviser, Nikolai Patrushev, on June 25, “Iran has been and will be an ally and partner of ours.”
Indeed, the importance of Iran (along with China) to Russia can
hardly be overstated. Among other reasons, as the West’s military
alliance encroaches ever more along Russia’s western borders, Iran is a
large, vital non-NATO neighbor. Still more, Teheran has done nothing to
incite Russia’s own millions of Muslim citizens against Moscow. Well
before Trump, powerful forces in Washington have long sought to project
Iran as America’s primary enemy in the Middle East, but for Moscow it is
a necessary “ally and partner.”
In normal political circumstances, Trump and Putin could
probably diminish any potential US-Russian conflict over Iran—and the
one still brewing in Syria as well. But both leaders come to the summit
with related political problems at home. For Trump, they are the
unproven but persistent allegations of “Russiagate.” For Putin, they are
economic.
As I have also previously explained,
while there was fairly traditional “meddling,” there was no “Russian
attack” on the 2016 American presidential election. But for many
mainstream American commentators, including the editorial page editor of The Washington Post,
it is an “obvious truth” and likely to happen again in 2020, adding
ominously that Trump is still “cozying up to the chief perpetrator,
Russian President Vladimir Putin.” A New York Times columnist goes further,
insisting that Russia “helped to throw the election” to Trump. Again,
there is no evidence whatsoever for these allegations. Also consider the
ongoing assault on Attorney General William Barr,
whose current investigation into the origins of “Russiagate” threatens
to conclude that the scandal originated not with Russia but with US
intelligence agencies under President Obama, in particular with the CIA
under John Brennan.
We should therefore not be surprised, despite possible
positive national security results of the Trump-Putin summit in Japan,
if the US president is again widely accused of “treason,” as he so
shamefully was following his meeting with Putin in Helsinki in July
2018, and as I protested at that time. Even the Times’
once-dignified columnist pages thundered, “Trump, Treasonous Traitor”
and “Putin’s Lackey,” while senior US senators, Democrat and Republican
alike, did much the same.
Putin’s domestic problem, on the other hand, is economic and
social. Russia’s annual growth rate is barely 2 percent, real wages are
declining, popular protests against officialdom’s historically endemic
corruption are on the rise, and Putin’s approval rating, while still
high, is declining. A public dispute between two of Putin’s advisers has
broken out over what to do. On the one side is Alexei Kudrin, the
leading monetarist who has long warned against using billions of dollars
in Russia’s “rainy day” funds to spur investment and economic growth.
On the other is Sergei Glaziev, a kind of Keynesian, FDR New Dealer who
has no less persistently urged investing these funds in new domestic
infrastructure that would, he argues, result in rapid economic growth.
During his nearly 20 years as Kremlin leader, Putin has generally sided with the “rainy day” monetarists. But on June 20, during his annual television call-in event,
he suddenly, and elliptically, remarked that even Kudrin “has been
drifting towards” Glaziev. Not surprisingly, many Russian commentators
think this means that Putin himself is now “leaning toward Glaziev.” If
so, it is another reason why Putin has no interest in waging cold war
with the United States—why he wants instead, indeed even needs, a
historic, long-term détente.
It seems unlikely that President Trump or any of the
advisers currently around him understand this important struggle—and it
is a struggle—unfolding in the Russian policy elite. But if Trump wants a
major détente (or “cooperation,” as he has termed it) with Russia,
anyone who cares about international security and about the well-being
of the Russian people should support him in this pursuit. Especially at
this moment, when we are told by the director of the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research that “the risks of the use of nuclear weapons…are higher now than at any time since World War Two.”

Footage released by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) shows the moment a projectile hit Syrian positions and exploded during an air raid involving jets and helicopters on Sunday night.
A suicide bombing in Manbij, Syria has reportedly killed 19 people including four Americans, two of whom were US soldiers and two of whom worked with the US military. ISIS, which has an extensive history of falsely claiming responsibility for attacks it had nothing to do with, has claimed responsibility for the attack. Despite the fact that ISIS would claim responsibility for a housewife stepping on a Lego block, and despite the complete absence of evidence that it had anything to do with the deadly explosion, all the usual cheerleaders of endless war are pointing to the Manbij suicide bombing and shrieking “See?? Trump said ISIS is defeated and it’s not!”
“ISIS is still a very real threat here,” CNN international corespondent Clarissa Ward told Jake Tapper from northern Syria. “And the real concern that we are hearing over and over again on the ground, Jake, is that when US troops withdraw, a power vacuum is created, and that only gives them more strength.”
Virulent Syria war pundit Charles Lister, who is notorious for praising Al Qaeda and is a senior fellowat the Gulf state-funded neoconservative think tank Middle East Institute, told AFP that this attack invalidates Donald Trump’s order last month to withdraw troops from Syria.
“Trump’s order was reckless and driven far more by domestic political concerns than it was by facts on the ground,” Lister said, adding, “To suggest ISIS is ‘defeated’ because it no longer controls territory is to fundamentally misunderstand how ISIS and similar organizations seek to operate.”
Former John McCain ventriloquism dummy Lindsey Graham pounced like a rat on a cheese doodle on the opportunity to call for continued US troop presence within hours of the attack, interrupting the confirmation hearing of Attorney General nominee William Barr with an ejaculation about Trump’s Syria withdrawal.
“I would hope the President would look long and hard at where he’s headed in Syria,” Graham said after repeating the baseless claim that the attack was perpetrated by ISIS. “I know people are frustrated, but we’re never going to be safe here unless we’re willing to help people over there who will stand up against this radical ideology.”
Not to be left out when there are moronic war agendas to be sold, Fox News leapt into the fray with a quote from an anonymous foreign diplomat saying “This attack today is a direct result of the announcement made by President Trump that U.S. forces are pulling out. These troops had a bullseye on them when the president telegraphed that he was ordering a pullout.”
“ISIS has already claimed responsibility for today’s suicide attack, a reminder that the group is not defeated,” added Fox’s Jennifer Griffin.
MSNBC’s deranged intelligence analyst Malcolm Nance topped everyone as usual with a babbling nonsensical post about how US troops were killed in Manbij because there were no US troops in Manbij, proving that Assad and Putin may have allowed the attack to happen, which proves Trump is a Russian asset.
“The moment Russia and Assad took over patrolling Manbij on Trumps go ahead we get hit with suicide bombers for the first time. It’s possible Russia/Assad let the attack happen. Trump’s treachery on this matter now kills our special operators. #RussianAsset,” Nance tweeted between huffs of paint thinner.

Other voices are treating the reports about the bombing with a little more skepticism.
“If ISIS were smart it would hold its fire especially against Americans,” tweeted professor and author Max Abrahms. “The main justification for leaving Syria is the (contested) assessment ISIS is defeated. ISIS attacks convey the opposite, weakening the strategic rationale of withdrawal while making it politically harder.”
“Ok, so Trump announces that the U.S. will begin a phased withdrawal from Syria, which according to his critics, would only benefit ISIS who they say is still operational and would welcome a U.S. pull out. But not waiting for pull out ISIS then targets U.S. troops! Yeah right,” tweeted former Green Party vice presidential nominee Ajamu Baraka.
These are interesting points. If ISIS is indeed responsible for the bombing, as war pundits are unquestioningly asserting is the case, then they’re either really, really stupid or they really want US troops to remain in Syria. Or perhaps the attack was engineered by someone else who has a vested interest in keeping a US military presence in Syria, either using ISIS as a patsy or completely separate from ISIS. Wouldn’t be the first time a suspicious attack took place in Syria while the Trump administration was working to withdraw troops.
Of course, this whole debate ignores the most obvious point of all: that if there was no US military presence in Syria, there would be no US military personnel being killed in Syria. The fight against the terrorist forces who nearly overtook the nation with the help of the western power alliance’s imperialist support have been beaten to the brink of total defeat not by the US, but by the Syrian government and its allies. If US troops were removed Damascus would quickly restore stability to the region and continue rebuilding the war-ravaged nation. But this is precisely what these war whores do not want.
Syria is a strategically crucial geopolitical nation for reasons having to do with natural resources and the power dynamics of Israel, Iran, and the empire-aligned Gulf states. It is not a coincidence that so much energy gets poured into this small stretch of land and its surrounding nations by the western military alliance and its propaganda machine, and it’s unlikely that the global dominators will lose interest in Syria any time soon. Stay skeptical.
The Moscow-Damascus Intergovernmental panel has reached a series of agreements, including switching to national currencies in mutual settlements and commercial energy exploration in Syria.
“Mutual settlements, transport and logistics - as far as I’m concerned these issues have been settled,” Vladimir Padalko, Vice-President of the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry told journalists on the sidelines of an annual meeting of the Russian-Syrian commission for trade, economic, scientific and technical cooperation, taking place in Damascus.
The Russian official added that the countries have picked 200 Russian and Syrian companies to take part in joint projects for rebuilding the war-torn country. The parties are set to sign an agreement that includes 10 extensive focus areas for recovering the Syrian post-war economy.
The parties have also clinched a number of commercial agreements on exploration and production of energy commodities in Syria, according to the Russian office. Russia’s Ministry of Industry and Trade and Syrian Ministry of Industry has reportedly approved and signed a road map for bilateral industry cooperation.
The countries have reached 30 agreements on investment projects. Syria and Russia have come to material consent in the area of transport and higher education, according to the Head of the Syrian Planning and International Cooperation Commission Imad Sabuni.
The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says it has hit the
ringleaders responsible for a terrorist attack on a military parade in
Ahvaz on September 22, which killed 30 people and injured over 60. READ

system in Kubinka, Russia, August 21, 2018. (Photo by Bloomberg)
A senior Israeli official
has admitted that Russia's delivery of S-300 anti-aircraft missile
defense systems to Damascus will pose a serious "challenge" to the
regime.
Tensions have been rising between Moscow and Tel Aviv following the downing of a Russian warplane in Syria this month.
The official, whose name was not released in the Sunday report by the
Times of Israel, said Tel Aviv was working on "different ways" to deal
with Russia's recent move.
“The S-300 is a complex challenge for ... Israel. We are dealing with
the [decision] in different ways, not necessarily by preventing
shipment [of the anti-aircraft systems],” he said.
The official said Israel enjoyed the US support and reserved the right to protect itself, without elaboration.
"[Russian President Vladimir] Putin made a move, but it's a big playing field and he understands that," the official said.
Moscow vowed to bolster Syria’s air defense capabilities by sending
modern S-300 surface-to-air missile systems to the Arab country within
two weeks after the recent accidental downing of a Russian Il-20
reconnaissance aircraft.
Netanyahu told Putin in a phone conversation that Israel "will continue to do what it has to do to defend itself."
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Friday Russia has already
started delivering the S-300 system to Syria as part of efforts to
ensure the safety of Russian forces in the Arab country.
The Russian plane with 15 servicemen on board disappeared from radars
on September 17 as four Israeli F-16 warplanes were attacking state
institutions in Syria’s Latakia Province, which is home to Russia-run
Hmeimim airbase.
Russia’s Defense Ministry held Israel responsible for the incident,
saying the regime’s warplanes “created a dangerous situation” that led
to the downing of the Russian aircraft by Syria’s S-200 missile defense
system.
Israel frequently attacks military targets in Syria in what is
considered as an attempt to prop up militant groups that have been
suffering heavy defeats against Syrian government forces.
If the US cares as much about the concept of sovereignty as
President Donald Trump claims, it should stop interfering in the affairs
of other countries, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov says.
Statements by top US
officials clearly show which country is actually interfering in the
affairs of other nations, Lavrov said during a press conference on the
sidelines of the UN General Assembly on Friday.
The foreign minister cited Kurt Volker, the US special representative for Ukraine, as an example. “It
would be fine if Volker talked about reconciliation in Ukraine. All he
talks about is how Russia is to blame for everything,” Lavrov said.
“And
then he takes the liberty of saying things like ‘Russian people deserve
freedom’ – that’s the US special representative for Ukraine speaking –
‘And the Ukrainian experience should inspire Russian people.’”
"You can probably figure out from this who is calling for meddling and who isn’t."
If
the US actually took seriously its own statements about countries
worldwide being sovereign, it would be a very welcome development, the
Russian foreign minister stated, reflecting on Trump’s speech at the UN
General Assembly.
“Trump, among other things, stated that he firmly backs the sovereignty of each nation in the world; I strongly support this,” Lavrov said.
Previously,
Moscow stated that terrorists in the rebel-held Syrian city of Idlib
attempted to carry out provocations with the use of chemical weapons in
order to create a pretext for international strikes against Syrian
government forces.
Russian
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has warned Western countries against new
strikes on Syria. He also mentioned possible provocations with the use
of biological weapons, noting that constructive dialogue between Moscow
and Washington is needed in order to strengthen the non-proliferation
regime.
"There's an alarming situation regarding the
issue of chemical disarmament. First of all, this is in connection
with the actions of a number of Western states accusing the Syrian
authorities with more and more unsubstantiated allegations of using
banned chemical agents. We warn [the West] against new strikes on the
territory of the Syrian Arab Republic under another staged pretext,"
Lavrov said at a UN Security Council meeting.
Previously, US President Donald Trump stated that the US would respond
if chemical weapons are deployed by the Syrian government.
Earlier this year, a coalition, led by Washington, carried out a
series of airstrikes against Syrian forces following an alleged chemical
weapons attack by the government in the city of Douma. Damascus denied
the accusations, while Moscow stated that the whole attack was a false
flag operation, staged by anti-government militants.
The Israeli media is in a total frenzy over the forthcoming transfer to Syria of the Russian anti-aircraft missile system S-300. They recognize that these measures will lead to serious consequences for the Israeli Air Force.
However, as FRN notes, there is a less than even chance that Russia will not make good on the delivery, given its history with this question in the past, combined with patterns it has exhibited in the use of such announcements to win a concession from a third party.
But as the Jerusalem Post states , the appearance of the Syrian military S-300 will make it possible to modernize the air defense of the country profoundly and create a “threat to Israeli aircraft.”
Speaking about the shipments of the antiaircraft missile system, the Ninth Channel published an article with this headline: “In two weeks, Israel is in for a nightmare?”
In turn, the news daily Yediot Aharonot also admits that the deployment of the S-300 in Syria is really bad news for Israel, since it will require the Israeli Air Force “more effort, more planning and more caution when using force in the skies of Syria and Lebanon.”
According to Haaretz , the Russian S-300 in Syrian hands can jeopardize Israel’s activities in the region, so from now on it “will have to think twice before the next attack.”
The decision to supply the S-300 systems to Syria was made against the background of the incident with the crash of the Russian Il-20 plane on September 17. It was shot down by Syrian air defense systems through the fault of Israel, resulting in the death of 15 Russian soldiers.
As Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu expects, the S-300 in Syria will help cool the “hotheads” and deter against rash actions that threaten Russian servicemen.
S-300 “Favorit” anti-aircraft missile systems are designed for the defense of large industrial, administrative facilities and military bases. The first multichannel system, which is capable of accompanying each complex to six targets and aiming for them to twelve missiles.
America has been at war to transfer control of Syria over to the Saud
family, who own Saudi Arabia; and America has been trying to do this
ever since the first of the CIA’s coups against Syria failed in 1949. But only during the U.S. Presidency of Barack Obama did the United Nations become a tool in this American enterprise.
Obama entered the White House in 2009
secretly hoping to be able to overthrow Syria’s Government; and when
the CIA-assisted “Arab Spring” uprisings in the Arab world started
flowering in 2011, the U.S. Government had the important U.N. operatives
fully on-board assisting the U.S. Government to assist this overthrow —
to hand Syria to the Sauds (the Sauds being America’s most important international ally, and the world’s richest family) to control.
By the time of June 2011, the Obama State Department, under Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, was already deep into planning the overthrow
not only of Syria’s Government (planning the international recruitment
of jihadists to do that), but of Ukraine’s Government (planning
international recruitment of nazis to do that).
Although the common view is that America’s main allies are European, that viewpoint is no longer true. Today’s America is allied mainly with the Sauds,
and with Israel, which latter is the Sauds’ chief lobbying arm both in
North America and in Europe, because Christian-majority populations are
far more sympathetic to Jews than to Moslems. For a politician to be
publicly sympathetic to Jews is much better for a politician than for
him/her to be publicly sympathetic to Muslims. So, Israel carries the
Sauds’ lobbying water, not only their own.
Follow Up — The Continued Blackout on West’s Secret Training & Support Camp in Turkey for War on Syria
12 days ago, on November 21, here at Boiling Frogs Post, I reported
on the ongoing joint US-NATO secret training camp in the US air force
base in Incirlik, Turkey, which began operations in April-May 2011 to
organize and expand the dissident base in Syria. I had received the
information for that story from multiple sources including highly
credible insiders in Turkey and government insiders here in the US…
I immediately started checking our infamous US mainstream media sites
— still nothing on this significant information. I then contacted one
of my high-level sources and asked why he had come to me with his
documented report instead of going directly to the big guys. With
several credible insiders as his corroborators and a high-level official
in Turkey, he would have no problem getting their attention. And his
response? Well here it is minus a few expletives:
Who said we didn’t go to MSM [Main Stream Media] first?
We got them the info back in October. First they were interested and
drooling. At least the reporters. Then, they disappeared.”
I was the last resort. … This goes down as one more example of very
many cases of intentional, willful censorship by the US mainstream media
and their so-many-times-proven role as distorters of reality and
gravediggers of the truth.
Keeping the “MSM” on-board was likewise something that went back as far as the CIA’s “Operation Mockingbird”
had started in 1948 with the cooperation of all of the United States’
mainstream ‘news’-media, and of virtually all of the ‘alternative’
news-media.
The case against the latter, the ‘alternative’ media, was documented by Stuart Jeanne Bramhall here and here; and by me here;
with both of us relying heavily upon the encyclopedic researches from
Bob Feldman, who is the major historian of the corruptness of almost all
of America’s ‘progressive’ ‘news’ media — the present medium being
obviously among the few exceptions that actually is progressive, and
this article is simultaneously distributed to all media, so all media
have been invited to publish it.
The corruptness of self-declared conservative ‘news’-media is
virtually automatic, since their chief function is to aggrandize the
aristocracy — doing that is what defines them; they are clearly doing
what they are paid to do, whereas the non-conservative media need to use
subterfuges to do it, in order for them to seem to be supportive of the
poor, which conservative media don’t even pretend to support.
Trump to U.N.: "We Reject the Ideology of Globalism"
Right and left, America’s ‘news’-media are loaded with rot —
especially regarding foreign countries, including Syria. Here are a few CIA documents from 2012 showing how obsequiously American ‘journalists’ respect and adhere to their CIA minders.
Aristocrats everywhere do business internationally and have much more
of a personal interest in foreign relations than does the average
person; so, lying about international relations is especially important
to them, in order to control the masses on these matters, matters which
aristocrats are especially determined to control. The aristocracy are
the people who determine which nations are “allies” and which nations
are “enemies.” The public don’t control that.
This is why the CIA, which is an agency of the U.S. aristocracy, has at least all of the mainstream ‘news’-media trumpeting their lies
on foreign affairs. Aristocrats control their country’s foreign
policies. Their international corporations demand this control, and tell
the politicians what to do in foreign matters. The ‘news’-media provide
the back-up for the politicians’ lies.
They’re all on the same team, the aristocracy’s team.
They all are agents for the aristocracy, against the public — and not
only against whichever foreign aristocracies are labeled “enemy”
nations (i.e., as being suitable targets for the given aristocracy’s
military — places where the U.S. aristocracy’s weapons-manufacturing
corporations such as Lockheed Martin don’t sell their wares but instead
upon which those wares are to be used, as targets, the opposite end of
the international weapons-trade from the “allies,” which are the
markets-side, instead of the targets-side).
International relations is relations between aristocracies. The publics are ignored.
So, if democracy exists anywhere or at all, then it exists only in
regards to domestic issues. However, studies have shown that even on
domestic issues, the U.S. Government ignores the U.S. public — the U.S.
is totally an aristocracy; it’s no democracy at all, not even on domestic issues, such as Medicare-for-all.
That’s the reason why Sibel Edmonds found herself to be a “last
resort.” That was a euphemism referring actually to a dead-end for the
important news — for the type of news that would have contradicted the
Obama Administration’s infamous joyous lie-based “We came, we saw, he died!” (the Libya case), and now the follow-on invasion and destruction of Syria.
Trump continues Obama’s aggressions; he doesn’t end them. It doesn’t
make much difference whom the occupant of the White House is, at least
not regarding foreign relations, because the same aristocracy remains in
control of U.S. foreign relations, even though that might be a
different faction of this aristocracy — Obama representing the liberal
billionaires, and Trump representing some of the conservative ones, but
they are different segments of the same aristocracy; nobody in such a
Government represents the public.
Here’s how psychopathic the U.S.-and allied aristocracies are:
Both were there using their being heads-of-state so as to assist not
only their own wealth but America’s and Europe’s aristocracies to steal
and sell oil and oil-well equipment from the Syrian public — from
Syrians’ Government — for the benefits not only of those aristocrats but
also of Al Qaeda and of ISIS (two jihadist groups trying to overthrow
Syria’s Government).
As Syrian News reported this, on 28 November 2012, “Emir of Qatar & Muslim Brotherhood Prime Minister of Turkey send their Al Qaeda FSA
terrorists to Syria to destroy the country, kill the people and destroy
whatever they can of its infrastructure so their companies would have
jobs in the future to rebuild as they think they will win the war
against Syria.”
Syrians stood by each oppressed nation in the planet, all liberation
movements from the colonial powers had their main offices in Syria,
including South African anti-apartheid party…this is how the colonial
powers revenge.
It is beyond kafkaesque to
realize that virtually the entire world chants its enmity against the
Syrian people, and their country, and that the rest have not even
noticed.
On 2 September, “greatest psy op of the last century,” al Jazeera,
degraded a photo of a drowned Syrian boy, into an emoticon, to use for a
new round of imperial malfeasance against the SAR [that being an
acronym for Syria’s Government]. It seems to be of no importance, that
al Jazeera (renamed “al Khanzeera,” “the pigsty,” by Libyan patriots,
during the destruction of their country), is owned by the absolute
monarchy Qatar — “pronounced ‘gutter’”), the little Gulfie gas station
that has spent over 3 billion dollars in looting and bombing Syria.
Twenty-four hours later, a Google search of “drowned Syrian boy”
yielded over 10 million ‘hits’ (a number which has jumped to over 14
million, 48 hours later), reports which neglect to mention there was no
Syrian refugee crisis before the mass-murderers of the colonial powers,
and their Levant and Gulfie rabid dogs decided to “arab spring” Syria…
On Sunday, 23 August, the city of Damascus came under massive mortar and missile attacks
by the Obama-Cameron moderate death squads. Seven days later, the
Syrian Arab Army [Syrian Government’s Army] Facebook page posted the
following:
“The city of Damascus had 4.5 to 5 million inhabitants in 2011. Today
and due to the war there are over 8.5 million inhabitants in the city;
most of which were forced outside of their homes by the “moderate
rebels” backed by NATO in general specifically the U.S. Turkey and
France; also backedand financed by the terrorist nations of the Gulf…
The cacaphony of murderous silence
among the Vichy [nazi] media and sham activists and NGOs [charities
that are funded by U.S.-and-allied aristocracies] has increased,
exponentially, in perverse rhyme, with the increase in the bombings of
the villages of Kafraya and al Foua,
in Idlib countryside. In mid-August, the Syrians of these villages had
been the beneficiaries of more than 1,500 missile attacks — from moderate rebel mass murderers — that have destroyed 60% of their houses… The punishment of the Syrian people for refusing the Obama plan of
regime change cannot be missed in this organized ongoing assault by NATO
and stooges for the past 4.5 years…
The globalist deep state hyenas have reached a new low in delirious
frenzy against Syria. While screaming international law! they flaunt
[flout] it, and flaunt their insatiable lust for Syrian blood. The mania
of the terrorists in suits is so out of control that they appear to
have abandoned their chemical conspiracy planned for Idlib. Instead, they scream in unison for the preservation of serial killers occupying eastern Ghouta.
Savages they would call by rightful names in western countries are
converted to innocent women and children [in Western media]. These
hyenas ignore more than 1,000 terrorist mortars and missiles fired by
Ghouta terrorists into Damascus. They hold the Goebbels Big Lie proudly
over their heads, knowing their elite club is one of destruction, that
none of its members will speak the truth… The deep state hyenas introduced the foreign-armed, foreign-paid, and
foreign takfiri [jihadists] of al Ghouta onto the world stage in August
2013. The stupid, inbred, savages accidentally slaughtered many of
their own, and thus ratted out having been given chemical weapons by Prince Bandar, because he neglected to give them proper instruction on their use.
The admission was of no matter to the perpetual warriors, including Nobel Peace Laureate cum war criminal, POTUS Obama. Nor was concern voiced by the humanitarian bastards
that several of the dead Syrians were recognized as having been
kidnapped in Latakia countryside (similarly, the hyenas were too sedated
to report on the moment long awaited, when 58 Syrian women and their children abductees were released in exchange for imprisoned terrorists of al Qaeda)…
On 21 February, UN High Commissioner on Human Rights [sic] Zeid Ra’ad
al Husseini frothed at the mouth over the “monstrous annihilation” in
Eastern Ghouta. He tossed words like international humanitarian law,
and war crimes about [against the Government].
That article has a lengthy section which opens:
THE UN: HYENAS LEADERSHIP
Animals running in packs require leadership. Who is better qualified
to lead beasts known to take advantage of other animals’ kills for easy
prey, devouring every part including bones, than the well-manicured and
polished diplomats of the United Nations?
All of that is true, and it even understates the reality. For
example, though the article documents that Jordan, next door to Syria,
is a key part of America’s effort to overthrow Assad, it fails to note
that Zeid Ra’ad al Husseini, that cited high U.N. official on Syria, is a
Jordanian Prince.
He’s doing what the royal family of Jordan do. Otherwise, that article
is an excellent description of the U.N.
Administration’s extreme
prejudices in favor of the U.S. game-plans for conquest, especially for
their conquest of Syria.
In possession of a diplomatic telegram [TD], Pan Arabic al Akhbar gave a detailed report 24 February on the nefarious, colonialist plot:
In a somewhat familiar but precise English, Benjamin Norman – a
diplomat in charge of the Middle East at the British Embassy in
Washington – reports in a confidential diplomatic telegram of the first
meeting of the “Small American Group on Syria” (United States, Great
Britain, France, Saudi Arabia and Jordan), held in Washington on January
11, 2018.
In this five-page TD, he reveals the details of the “Western
strategy” in Syria: partition of the country, sabotage of Sochi, framing
of Turkey and instructions to the UN Special Representative Staffan de
Mistura who leads the negotiations of Geneva. A Non Paper (8 pages)
accompanies this TD in anticipation of the second meeting of the “Small
Group”. It was held in Paris on January 23, mainly devoted to the use of
chemical weapons and the “instructions” sent by the “Small American
Group” to Staffan de Mistura.
The U.N. envoy for Syria warned Friday that all the
ingredients exist for a “perfect storm” of a humanitarian catastrophe if
the Syrian government, backed by Russia, carries out a large-scale
military offensive on the northwestern province of Idlib.
“The dangers are profound that any battle for Idlib could be — would
be — a horrific and bloody battle,” Staffan de Mistura told U.N.
Security Council members via videoconference. “Civilians are its
potential victims.”
Idlib has consistently been showing as being, by far, the
most-pro-jihadist of all of Syria’s Governates, in the annual polls that
the British polling organization, Orb International, has taken since
2014, throughout Syria. Idlib has been showing there as being over 90%
in favor of jihadists and of jihadism — and specifically in favor of
organizations such as Al Qaeda and ISIS.
Staffan de Mistura and Prince Husseini refer to this matter as
instead a “humanitarian catastrophe” if Syria, Russia, and Hezbollah, do
what they will need to do in order to end the invasion of Syria by
U.S., Saudi Arabia, Turkey, UAE, Kuwait, and Israel (and the jihadists
they hire).
The U.N. officials are treating this matter not as a thoroughly
illegal invasion and military occupation of the sovereign nation of
Syria, but instead as what will be a “humanitarian catastrophe” if Syria
and its allies attack the area of Syria whose current residents are
over 90% jihadists and supporters of jihadists. Syria and its allies are
to be blamed for invading that jihadist cauldron, while U.S. and its
allies are to be held immune from prosecution for their having used
those jihadists, during the past 7 years — used them to invade and
occupy not only Idlib but other parts of Syria.
Thus, the U.N. is not only holding U.S. Presidents and other
international invaders above international law, but it is now positively
assisting them under the fake rubric of “humanitarian” concerns, so as
to support the U.S. alliance’s invasions and military occupations. The
U.N., which was supposed to have been opposing international aggression
is now assisting it when ‘the right leaders’ do it.
This is no organization supporting democracy — it is the opposite: an
international scheme to back the U.S. alliance’s invasions and military
occupations. War is ugly. Apparently, the U.N. has become even uglier
than that — supporting the invaders and military occupiers of a
sovereign nation.
This is the reason why Syria and its allies have placed on-hold
their planned elimination of the jihadists in Idlib and will create a
DMZ between Idlib and the adjoining areas of Syria. Further details and
context on that can be seen here. Perhaps now, the high U.N. officials who have been claiming that the elimination of those jihadists would produce a “humanitarian catastrophe” will change their tunes and publicly acknowledge that it would instead be a practical necessity.
On September 17, I posted my column, “Evidence is no longer a Western
value.” I used as an example the blame that has been put on Russia for
the shot down Malaysian airliner. No evidence whatsoever exists for
the accusation, and massive evidence has been presented that the
airliner was shot down by the neonazis that seized power as a result of
the Washington-organized coup in Ukraine.
Blame was fixed on Russia not by any evidence but by continuous
evidence-free accusations that began the moment the airliner was shot
down. Anyone who asked for evidence was treated as a “Putin apologist.”
This took evidence out of the picture.
Wherever we look in these times, we see evidence-free accusations
established as absolute facts: Saddam Hussein’s “weapons of mass
destruction,” “Iranian nukes,” “Russian invasion of Ukraine,” the
Trump/Putin conspiracy that stole the 2016 US presidential election,
Syrian use of poison gas. Not a scrap of evidence exists for any of
these accusations, but the truth of the accusations is established in
many minds worldwide.
Science gave the world the principle of evidence-based fact, which
did away with the burning of witches and political decisions based in
superstitution. Truth became a force.
But truth can get in the way of agendas, and as elites recovered
their power from the social, political, and economic reforms of a
previous era, truth was divided into categories and cut so fine that it
disappeared. For the elite truth became identical to their economic
interests, and Identity Politics stripped truth of its universal
meaning and reduced truth to self-pleading race and gender truth.
The result is that today truth is established not by evidence but by repetition of accusations and falsehoods.
This made it easy to destroy people and countries by lies alone. Who
remembers Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the head of the International
Monetary Fund and at the time the likely future president of France?
Strauss-Kahn was out of step with Washington which wanted its puppet
Sarkozy reelected. Strauss-Kahn came to New York and was accused by a
hotel maid of sexual assault. He was arrested and jailed. The New York
district attorney and media whores pronounced him guillty.
Roger Stone: Deep State Prepared To Remove Trump By Any Means Necessary
Simultaneously, on cue, a French woman made the same claim. Case
closed. No evidence. Just claims. Then it emerged that the hotel maid
had just had very large sums of money far above her income level
deposited to her bank account. Even more damning, it was revealed that
Sarkozy knew of Strauss-Kahn’s arrest before the police announced it.
The case fell apart, and the New York district attorney publicly
apologized. But Strauss-Kahn had been forced to resign as Director of
the IMF and was out of the French presidential election. So Washington
won.
Today it is a common, routine tactic for both US political parties to
produce a woman to bring accusations of sexual harassment, abuse, or
assault against any heterosexual male appointee or nominee that either
party regards to be out of step with its agenda. It happens so
regularly that no sentinent person can possibly believe the woman.
Sexual assault has been reduced to one of the dirty tricks of politics.
As hard as false accusations can be on individuals, they destroy
entire countries. Just consider the destruction of Afghanistan, Iraq,
Libya, currently Yemen, and Washington has not given up on the same fate
for Syria and Iran. Based on nothing but Washington’s endlessly
repeated false accusations, millions of peoples have been murdered,
maimed, orphened, widowed, displaced, and sent as refugees overrunning
Europe.
There is not a scrap of evidence anywhere that justifies Washington’s
enormous crimes against humanity. Yet, these crimes that in a
truth-conscious world would have resulted in several entire governments
of the United States standing accused in the International Criminal
Court, or the War Crimes Court, or whichever court, and perhaps in all
of them, are ignored, because accusation alone against the destroyed
countries and peoples sufficed to justify Washington’s war crimes
against humanity.
What I have described is a truth-free world. There is no place for
truth in the world that the West has created. The Western hostility to
truth is overwhelming. As I write truth-tellers are being banned from
Facebook, Twitter, and PayPal. Google makes their sites almost
impossible to find. Throughout the Western World truth has been
redefined as “Conspiracy Theory.”
Elites such as George Soros and innumerable tax-financed government
agencies, such as the National Endowment for Democracy, spend taxpayers’
money discrediting those who tell the truth. Many in governments want
truth-tellers locked up as enemies of the state, by which they mean
“enemies of the self-interests of the ruling elites.”
You don’t need to believe me. Here are four books written by
honorable persons, meticulously documented, full of evidence that make
it clear that American elites have no respect whatsoever for truth.
Truth is something that is in their way.
One of the books is Charlie Savage’s Takeover. Savage shows
how Dick Cheney used the George W. Bush regime and 9/11 to destroy the
separation of powers and the civil liberties in the US Constitution.
When you read Savage’s book you will discover that the America that you
think is here is not here. In its place is a dictatorship available to
any president clever enough to use it. Savage’s book is one of the best
pieces of investigative reporting that I have read.
The Roman system of government never recovered from Caesar crossing
the Rubicon. I doubt that the US Constitution will ever recover from
Dick Cheney.
Two of the books are by David Ray Griffin, one of the last and most determined of American protagonists for truth. In his book, Bush and Cheney: How They Ruined America and the World,
Griffin makes, a decade after Savage, the same case against Dick
Cheney. When two independently minded researchers reach the same
conclusion, you can bet it is on the money. If the world survives
Washington’s orchestrated conflict with Russia, Cheney will go down in
history as the person who destroyed American constitutional government.
In this same book, Griffin also examines the official 9/11 story and
exposes it as a total fabrication with no connection to any truth
whatsoever. He takes up this case in his current, just released book
with Elizabeth Woodworth, 9/11 Unmasked: An International Review Panel Investigation.
Anyone who is still brainwashed by the official 9/11 story can
immediately free themselves from their deception by reading this book.
There is no longer any doubt that 9/11 was an inside orchestrated event
for the purpose of unleashing two decades, with more to come, of
American aggression in the Middle East.
Griffin does not leave a single official statement about 9/11
standing as not a single official claim is based on any factual evidence
whatsoever.
For seventeen years the world has been fed a pack of total lies based
on nothing but accusations and in the face of massive evidence produced
not by some collection of political hacks sitting as a 9/11 Commission,
but by thousands of experts. Yet for seventeen years false accusations
prevailed over heavily documented facts presented by disinterested
experts called “conspiracy theorists” by those intent on covering up
their crimes.
The fourth book is Mary Mapes’ Truth and Duty. Mary Mapes
is the CBS producer whose team carefully prepared for Dan Rather the 60
Minutes report on George W. Bush’s failure to perform his Texas Air
National Guard duty. Her story was absolutely correct, but she and
Rather were destroyed by accusation alone. The Republicans set in
attack mode the right-wing bloggers, and soon the official media joined
in for the purpose of elevating their ratings at CBS’s expense.
CBS was vulnerable, because it was no longer independent but a part
of Viacom’s empire. Mapes was already in trouble, because she had broken
the Abu Ghraib torture story just at the moment that Bush and Cheney
declared: “America doesn’t torture.” As the Cheney/Bush regime put
pressure on Viacom, a corporate executive told Mapes: “You don’t have
any idea how many millions of dollars Viacom is spending on lobbying in
Wasington, and nothing you’ve done in the past year has helped.”
There you have it. The Viacom executives had no interest whatsoever
in the truth, only in what advanced their lobbying interests in
Washington. Mapes, a truth-teller had to go, and she did. And so did
Dan Rather.
Today in America no member of the print and TV media or NPR dares to
get within a hundred miles of the truth. It would be a career-ending
event.
Without a media dedicated to truth, there can be no control over government.
Ask yourselves where you can read articles like this. If you do not
support the remaining portals of truth, you will find yourselves bound,
like the Elven-kings, Dwarf-lords and Mortal Men in J.R.R. Tolkien’s
Lord of the Rings, “in the darkness” by the elites’ ability to control
the explanations that comprise your reality.
Identity Politics has destroyed the very conception of truth
independent of race and gender. Science itself becomes discredited as
does civilization:
