What would happen if the CIA staged a coup in America? The CIA wouldn’t be able to stage a coup
through a color revolution, kill or remove the elected leader and install a
more ameliorable leader. No, it would
have to be more like boiling frogs in America, gradually increasing the heat so
that by the time the people realize what has happened they are already being boiled
to death.
A recently declassified 1944 CIA manual called “Simple
Sabotage Field Manual” describes how to destabilize and overthrow foreign
governments through bureaucracy. The
article made me think about the state of America today.
In the CIA’s Field Manual they describe using operatives
which they call a “curious breed of citizen-saboteurs” to disrupt and
demoralize elected government and police eventually turning the government into
a dysfunctional mess. But what if instead of citizen saboteurs, the
CIA used political saboteurs and media saboteurs?
Pivotal to overthrowing the government is controlling the media. Looking back at the history of the
protections provided to ensure an independent fourth estate in America two
examples come to mind. First there was
the Communications Act of 1934
and the Fairness Doctrine of 1949.
The Fairness Doctrine was eliminated by the Federal
Communication Commission in 1987 and the Communications Act of 1934 was
replaced with the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Since 1987 the consolidation
of the media with a synchronized message has dumbed down Americans to such a
degree that 30% of Republicans want to bomb a fictional country called Agrabah.
In a Public Policy Poll of 532 likely Republican primary
voters, 30% would support bombing Agrabah, a fictional country in Disney’s Aladdin. The media monopoly along with the political
duopoly have birthed a government in America wherein the three branches not
only violate the constitution continually but commit treason with no
accountability.
For example since 2008 a Turkish religious movement funded200 trips to Turkey for congressional members and their staff, which is a
violation of House Rules and quite possibly Federal law. The religious movement is led by Fethullah Gülen,
who coincidentally operates charter schools across the United States.
Because of legislation like Bush’s No Child Left Behind and Obama’s
Race to the Top, public schools have been closed to fund charter schools. Gülen schools are the largest charter network
in the U.S. and receive about $150 million a year in taxpayer money. Not a bad return of their congressional investment.
And while American teachers lose their jobs the majority of
teachers in the 130 Gulen schools are from Turkey. Not only are the teachers from Turkey but the
contracts for construction and operations go to Turkish businesses.
Chicago’s Mayor Rahm Emanuel who served as Barack Obama’s
Chief of Staff was pivotal in passing the Race to the Top legislation. As Chicago’s Mayor, Emanuel closed 54 publicschools diverting funds to charters many affiliated with Gulen. The FBI is currently investigating the nearly
$1 million paid to contractors for work at three of the Gulen Concept Schools in
Chicago.
Fethullah Gulen who is on Turkey’s most wanted terrorist
list along with ISIS said in a sermon “You
must move in the arteries of the system without anyone noticing your existence
until you reach all the power centers … until the conditions are ripe.”
And ripe the conditions are.
So I wonder why the CIA has declassified the “Simple Sabotage Field
Manual” and why now? Is it because as
Fethullah Gulen says, the conditions are ripe, or is it because the frogs are
already boiling.
What if the American government were overthrown by the CIA on
behalf of the one percent? I was reading
an article at Mint Press about a recently
declassified CIA manual on how to destabilize governments and it occurred to
me, the CIA may have overthrown the American government in 2000 using that
manual.
Excerpt:
Declassified CIA Manual Shows How US Uses Bureaucracy To Destabilize
Governments
The CIA is proud of its Kafkaesque
field manual and evidently still views it as an unorthodox but effective form of destabilizing enemy operations
around the world.
(ANTIMEDIA) When most people think
of CIA sabotage, they think of coups, assassinations, proxy wars, armed rebel
groups, and even false flags — not strategic stupidity and purposeful
bureaucratic ineptitude. However, according to a declassified document from
1944, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), which later became the CIA, used and trained a curious breed of
“citizen-saboteurs” in occupied nations like Norway and France.
The World War II-era document,
called Simple Sabotage Field Manual, outlines
ways in which operatives can disrupt and demoralize enemy administrators and
police forces….
Is it possible America’s government was overthrown using the
CIA’s “Simple Sabotage Field Manual?”
For instance the “curious breed of citizen-saboteurs” are now a “curious
breed of politician and media-saboteurs?”
The media saboteurs have been so effective in flooding the airways with disinformation
that the 30% of the GOP wants to bomb Agrabah, a fictional land in Disney’s
Alladin. From The Guardian:
Excerpt:
Poll: 30% of GOP voters support bombing Agrabah, the city from Aladdin
Almost one-third of Republican
primary voters would support bombing the fictional kingdom of Agrabah, according
to a report released by Public Policy Polling on Friday.
More than 530 Republican primary
voters were polled this week on their support for Republican candidates and
foreign policy issues including banning Muslims from entering the US, Japanese
internment camps from the second world war and bombing Agrabah, the kingdom
from Disney’s animated classic, Aladdin….
In its poll, Public Policy Polling
asked the 532 Republicans: “Would you support or oppose bombing Agrabah?” While
57% of responders said they were not sure, 30% said they supported bombing it.
Only 13% opposed it.
Joe Scarborough is a classic example of a
politician-saboteur turned media-saboteur. From Time:
Excerpt:
Trump Brushes Off Putin’s Alleged Killing Of Journalists
Republican presidential
front-runner Donald Trump brushed off well-documented
allegationsthat
Russian President Vladimir Putin has had
political opponents and journalists killed, following praise from the
Russian leader for his presidential campaign.
In an interview with “Morning Joe”
Friday, Trump said he was pleased to be praised by Putin. “Sure, when people
call you brilliant it’s always good, especially when the person heads up
Russia,” he said.” Putin had called Trump “bright and talented” and
all-but-endorsed his campaign this week.
But when host Joe Scarborough
raised doubts about whether Putin’s support should be coveted, Trump brushed it
off.
“He also is a person that kills
journalists, political opponents and invades countries. Obviously that
would be a concern, would it not,” Scarborough asked.
“Our country does plenty of killing also Joe,” Trump replied. “He’s running his country and at least
he’s a leader, unlike what we have in this country.”
Scarborough replied incredulously, “Again he kills journalists who
don’t agree with him?”
“Well, our country does plenty of killing also Joe, so you know,”
Trump followed-up, before declaring that there’s “a lot of killing going on, a lot of stupidity” in the world.
The allegations of Putin killing journalists was repeated by
George Stephanopolis on This Week and
Chuck Todd on Meet the Press. Trump pointed out to the media-saboteurs that
they have no evidence to support those allegations. To which the Huffington Post wrote this piece dripping with sarcasm:
Excerpt:
After basking in the "great
honor" of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s praise, Republican
front-runner Donald Trump on Sunday
defended Putin against longstanding accusationsthat his regime has carried out murders of
journalists who oppose him.
During an appearance on ABC News’
“This Week,” Trump said there is no
evidence that Putin was behind any journalist murders in Russia.
“In all fairness to Putin, you're
saying he killed people -- I haven't seen that,” Trump told host George
Stephanopoulos. “I don't know that he
has. Have you been able to prove
that?Do you know the names of the
reporters that he's killed?”
Trump added that it would be “despicable”
if Putin indeed had killed journalists. “But
I haven't seen any evidence that he killed anybody, in terms of reporters,”
he said.
Then the Huffington Post goes on to provide their “proof”
that Putin killed journalists:
Since the early 1990s, between 56 and 300 journalists have been killed
in Russia, according to media watchdog groups…
Which media watchdog groups, they never say. Where’s the evidence Putin killed those
journalists?
Viewers were treated to a Sunday morning saboteur gabfest where
the “Putin killing journalists mantra” was all the outrage. Media-saboteurs along with
political-saboteurs discussed the various levels of outrage against Donald
Trump for not condemning Putin for “killing journalists.”
Since when have these saboteurs been concerned about the
killing of journalists? Where was all
the outrage by the media-saboteurs and politician-saboteurs six months ago when
the Pentagon announced they had legalized killing journalists? From Counter Current:
Excerpt:
Pentagon Just Legalized Killing ‘Belligerent’ Journalists As Part of
‘Law of War’
The Pentagon just changed the rules
of war to include legitimizing the killing
of any journalists they deem “belligerent.”
The new “laws of war”were
released as part of a book of instructions on legitimate warfare practices approved by the United States military.
This “rule book” of sorts details
what the US government deems the acceptable
ways of killing those they claim are the “enemy”… including journalists whose reporting they do not approve.
The manual explains that the
Pentagon considers such journalists “unprivileged belligerents,” even
though they are not “enemy combatants.”
This distinction is important for
the Pentagon, since the battles against
Muqtada as-Sadr’s “Jaysh al-Mahdi” militia
was a fight the US picked over a newsletter America did not approve of.
When the military tried to stop the presses, Sadr’s army took up arms against
the US forces.
We don’t hear a lot about that in
the media or government these days, because those battles didn’t exactly end in
the US’s favor…
Now, the American 1,176-page “Department of Defense Law of War Manual”
says THAT IT IS PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE TO SHOOT, EXPLODE, BOMB, STAB, OR CUT
JOURNALISTS THEY DEEM “BELLIGERENT.”
On Meet the Press
media-saboteur, Chuck Todd interviewed Trump:
Excerpt:
CHUCK TODD:
Why are you so comfortable praising
Vladimir Putin?
DONALD TRUMP:
I'm not, I didn't praise him, he
praised me. He called me brilliant. He said very nice things about me. I mean,
I accept it--
CHUCK TODD:
Well you've called him a strong
leader--
DONALD TRUMP:
He is a strong leader. What am I
gonna say, he's a weak leader? He's making mincemeat out of our President. He
is a strong leader. I mean, you would like me to call him a weak leader, he's a
strong leader. And I'm not going to be politically correct.
He's got an 80% of approval rating done by pollsters from, I
understand, this country, okay? So it's not even done by his pollsters. He's very popular within Russia. Now
that may change, but I didn't say anything one way or the other. He came out
with a very nice statement about me and I said, "That's very nice, I'm
honored by it."
And it would be very nice if we got along with Russia, Chuck, it's not
a bad thing, it's a good thing. He cannot stand our President. He doesn't
like President Obama. I think it would
be a positive thing if Russia and the United States actually got along and they
could work to the mutual good of getting rid of ISIS and clean things up. I
mean, right now, we don't get along with them at all.
CHUCK TODD:
Right, but right now, Vladimir Putin is the best ally Iran has around the
world and the best ally that Assad has
in Syria.
DONALD TRUMP:
No, by making the horrible deal, one of the worst deals I've ever
seen made in my entire life, giving them
$150 billion and 24-day check periods, which don't start for a long time
after that, 24-day check periods, self-inspection, we don't get our prisoners back, our four prisoners, we don't get them
back.
We gave them $150 billion. We happen to be in its own sick and
horrible way, we happen to have been
one of the great allies of Iran,
if you want to know the truth. And by the way, just to add to that?
CHUCK TODD:
Yeah.
DONALD TRUMP:
We also handed them Iraq on a silver platter. We gave them Iraq
with the second-largest oil reserves in the world. They're taking over Iraq as
you speak to me this morning. So we gave them one of the best deals ever made.
And by the way, they're taking that
money now and they're giving it to Russia and others where they're buying
armaments.
Ha, ha this is my favorite part of the interview:
CHUCK TODD:
Do you stick by the idea that the Middle East would be more stable
today with Saddam Hussein and Gadhafi in power?
DONALD TRUMP:
One hundred percent, 100 percent,
is there even a doubt in your mind?And you wouldn't have the
migration and you wouldn't have the people coming over to this country that we
have no idea who they are. And if I win, they're going to have to go back
because we have no idea who they are. One hundred percent..
CHUCK TODD:
Do you let Assad stay?
DONALD TRUMP:
You know what? Well, you can't fight Assad and ISIS at the same
time. You have to fight ISIS first. And I don't say Assad is good, but I--
CHUCK TODD:
That's exactly what Bernie Sanders believes, by the way. You and Bernie
Sanders are in line on this.
DONALD TRUMP:
Well that's okay. And I agree with him on that. It's okay to agree with
him. He's a guy, I don't agree with him on much, but if he says that, I'm okay
with it. Let me just tell you: You can't fight them both at the same time. And
I say Assad's a bad guy, but we don't
know who the rebels are that are fighting.
Every time we get involved with rebels, take a look at Libya, all
these rebels, look what they did to our ambassador and those young men, those
wonderful young men. Every time we get involved, in Benghazi I'm talking about,
every time we get involved with rebels, the rebels, they call them "the freedom rebels," always nice names, it ends up being far worse than the people
who were there in the first place.
So Assad is not a good guy, but the people that we're backing, a lot of
people think they're ISIS, that
we're actually backing ISIS. So what are we doing? We have to get rid of
ISIS first; Assad, we think about later on.
As if on cue the media and politician-saboteurs attacked
Trump in unison:
The mogul candidate, however, has faced broad criticism from both Republicans and Democrats for his
public genteel toward Putin, who has been widely condemned by U.S. leaders for his backing of embattled Syrian President
Bashar Assad, his annexation of Crimea last year and for his involvement in
Ukraine.
On Sunday, presidential candidate
Marco Rubio continued that attack line, saying that the Republican front-runner
"shouldn't be honored" by the Russian strongman's kind words.
"Vladimir Putin is a person who has killed. He's jailed and murdered
journalists, political opponents," the Florida senator said on
CBS' "Face the Nation." "He
bombed an apartment building as a pretext to attack the Chechens. He is responsible for the downing of the
Malaysian airliner over Ukraine, because
he provided the antiaircraft weaponry that was used for that. So
this is a person who's done some horrifying things on the global stage."
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush agreed, calling Putin "a
dictator" and "a bully."
"Putin is organized to
challenge the United States across the world now. He views his success by
pushing us back. We're losing influence around the world and Putin is gaining
influence," Bush said on the same program.
"You don't brag about what a
great guy he is. He's not. He kills
journalists. Anybody that opposes
him ultimately is pushed away," Bush added.
Media-saboteur Frank Luntz conducted a focus group of Muslim
Americans to discuss the Trump proposal to temporarily ban Muslims from entering
America. Unfortunately some of the panel
were critical of the American foreign policy, therefore those comments were
edited out. From The Intercept:
Excerpt:
CBS Edits Out Criticisms of U.S. Policy From Frank Luntz Focus Group
With Muslim Americans
When a CBS News segment featuring a
focus group of American Muslims aired Friday, it highlighted their relationship
to terrorism, with a particular fixation on how much responsibility they felt
to condemn terrorist attacks.
But in interviews with The
Intercept, two Muslim Americans who took part in the group complained that CBS edited out parts of the discussion
where they raised their own concerns — including
critiques of U.S. militarism, surveillance, and entrapment.
They also said that Frank Luntz, the right-wing pollster who
led the focus group, silenced members of the group when they criticized discriminatory
U.S. government policies.
When Luntz asked the group how they respond to attacks such as the
recent one in San Bernardino, New York City activist Amelia Noor-Oshiro
told The Intercept she asked Luntz, “Why
don’t you ask that to people who actually commit acts of terror? Why don’t you
ask that to White America who are responsible for a majority of domestic terror
attacks?”
That didn’t make it into the on-air
segment…
Sarah Harvard, a New York City
journalist….. wrote that after Luntz
asked the group whether they were Americans or Muslims first, she chose to demonstrate the offensive
nature of the question by asking, “Well, are you an American or Jewish first?”
That didn’t make it on the air
either.
The media and politician-saboteurs seem to have collaborated
on using the San Bernardino and Paris attacks to promote more rabidly rightwing
candidates across the world from France, to Venezuela to America. But what if those attacks were false flag
attacks that any journalist or politician could easily uncover with just a few
minutes of investigation, were it in their interest to do so. From Paul Craig Roberts:
Excerpt:
Weapon Used in November 13 Paris Attacks Came From CIA-linked Arms
Dealer
At least one of the guns used in
the November 13 terror attacks in Paris was purchased by Century International
Arms and then re-exported to Europe. One
of the largest arms dealers in the United States, Century Arms has close ties
to the CIA and has faced charges in America and Europe of involvement in illegal arms deals.
The weapon, an M92 semiautomatic
pistol, was produced at the Zastava arms factory in Kragujevac, Serbia. Last
week, factory manager Milojko Brzakovic told AP he had checked its records on seven weapons that it manufactured that
were used in the Paris attacks.
It delivered several of the weapons inside Yugoslavia before that
country dissolved amid capitalist restorationand civil war in the 1990s, but it delivered the pistol in May 2013
to Century Arms, based in Delray Beach, Florida.
Century Arms officials refused Palm
Beach Post reporters’ requests for comment, and it remains unclear how the M92
pistol was re-exported to Europe.
Century Arms required US government approval to legally import the firearm into
the United States, however, and whoever
re-exported it to Europewould have had
to submit a request to the US State Department in order to do so legally.
These reports further undermine the official presentation of the Paris
attacks by governments, media, and pro-imperialist “left” parties. They
insisted that the attacks were an act of Islamist terror in which the Islamic
State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) alone was involved and bore full responsibility.
This presentation was always a political fraud, insofar as the NATO
powers were undoubtedly politically implicated. The attacks were led by Islamist fighters trained in Syria—where the
CIA, European intelligence and Persian Gulf oil sheikdoms have given financial
and military backing to such Islamist forces to topple President Bashar
al-Assad. Though placed on watch lists and monitored by intelligence
services, these fighters were somehow allowed to prepare highly complex,
coordinated attacks in Paris.
Revelations of a concrete link between Century Arms and the Paris
attacks, however, raise specifically whether elements in the intelligence
services aided the attackers—either inadvertently, due to their reckless
war policy, or deliberately, to shift the political atmosphere far to the
right.
Indeed, the revelations that there’s a link between the CIA’s
arms dealer and the Paris attacks raise questions about whether the
intelligence services aided the attackers to shift the political atmosphere far
to the right. And did that work?
The ruling elite reacted to the November 13 attacks, predictably, by aligning policy on war and democratic
rights with the views of the most aggressive sections of the military-intelligence complex. France
is now preparing to impose a permanent state of emergency, effectively
abrogating key democratic rights and boosting
the political fortunes of the neo-fascist National Front (FN).
NATO is ramping
up support to its proxies in Syria, THOUGH THIS THREATENS TO TRIGGER AN
ALL-OUT MILITARY CLASH WITH NUCLEAR-ARMED RUSSIA.
Well so much for the hopes of electing a more sane government
in France, but what about the San Bernardino attacks? From Mint Press:
Excerpt:
FBI: ‘No Evidence’ San Bernardino Attackers ‘Were Part Of Terrorist
Cell’
The local and State law enforcement, in conjunction with the mainstream
media, has essentially been creating a “terror plot” revolving around this
couple and the attacks, based on what
seems to be getting them the most attention, ratings and praise from a fearful
public.
The FBI is coming clean about the
San Bernardino attackers, and it is not making local law enforcement and media
very happy.
For starters, the FBI head said that the media rumor about the “terror couple”
texting, tweeting or “Facebooking” support for ISIS or even “jihad” has
absolutely no basis in fact, whatsoever.
Reuters reported on Wednesday that this echoes “investigators’
views that the pair were inspired by,
rather than organized by Islamic State.”
But in reality, the FBI has not
even gone that far….
His (Comey’s) remarks came as Americans are jittery two weeks after
the San Bernardino attack. Islamic State is based in Iraq and Syria, where
it controls a large area of territory as it seeks to carve out a caliphate. It claimed responsibility for attacks in
Paris on Nov. 13 that killed 130 people.
Comey said the group has perfected
the use of social media, and Twitter in particular, to contact potential
followers in the United States and elsewhere.
“Twitter works as a way to sell
books, as a way to promote movies, and it works as a way to crowdsource
terrorism – to sell murder,” Comey added.
Given all that is it any wonder that Vladimir Putin has
praised Donald Trump for being brilliant enough to cut through all the bullshit
of the media and politician-saboteurs? FromNewYork Times:
Vladimir Putin Chides Turkey, Praises Trump and Backs Russia’s Economy
MOSCOW — Alternately pugnacious and
conciliatory, with his customary swagger and salty language, President Vladimir
V. Putin held forth on a broad array of topics in his traditional year-end news
conference on Thursday, even throwing in a glowing assessment of Donald J.
Trump.
Mr. Putin drew applause from the crowd of journalistswhen
he lashed out at Turkey for having shot down a Russian bomber, daring the Turks
to try it again with Russia’s advanced air defense system in place and
surmising that PERHAPS THE TURKS “WANTED
TO LICK THE AMERICANS IN ONE PLACE…”
And he even inserted himself into the Republican primary contest in the
United States, speaking highly of Mr. Trump in remarks after the news
conference ended. “There is no doubt
that he is a very bright and talented man,” the Russian leader said. “It is
not our business to assess his merits; that is up to the U.S. voters. But he is
an absolute leader of the presidential race.”
Peppered with dozens of questions, Mr. Putin lingered, as he did at last
year’s session, on those that allowed him to reassure Russians that their living standards were not imperiled…
Real incomes, he conceded, are
falling, but other indications of social
well-being, such as the birthrate, are up, he said…
Despite the recession, Mr. Putin’s popularity remains extraordinarily
high, with support above 80 percent in some polls. While the economy is
biting at home, even as Mr. Putin pursues a swaggering foreign policy, the
hardship has not yet translated into widespread political discontent…
Surveys and the answers to
questions posed to focus groups show that the pillars of Mr. Putin’s popularity
shifted in early 2014, just before the current downturn. Russians now say they admire Mr. Putin more for a role as a “protector”
from external threats than for the role of “provider,” a study by an
influential Russian sociologist, Mikhail E. Dmitriyev, concluded this year.
Vladimir Putin sounds like FDR working for the good of the
people of Russia instead of the one percent.
The one percent, using the CIA and NATO as enforcers has succeeded in
keeping the American people in fear, willing to give up their standard of
living, their privacy and their wealth just for false security.
So while election season is taking place across the world
the question that should be asked is “can Putin and Trump save the world from
CIA coups and election fraud?”
The people of America, France and Britain are told that we
have a coalition fighting with us against ISIS in Syria but the truth is
America, France and Britain are doing the bidding of Turkey and Saudi
Arabia. Turkey and Saudi Arabia call the
tunes and their Washington based dance partners, the follow their lead.
The goal of Turkey and Saudi Arabia is to have the West use
their blood, treasure and military to remove Assad which will bog the West down
in a war in Syria to draw in Iran and Russia.
The Washington based neocons, like fleas on a dogs back, believe they
own the dog. How dangerously wrong they
are.
Turkey and Saudi Arabia are more than happy to perpetuate
the ignorant fantasies the Western world has deluded their citizens into
believing, all the while waltzing the West into a thermonuclear death trap in
Syria.
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
George Santayana in The Life of Reason, 1905
The West would be wise to remember the past as they embark
on this fools’ mission in Syria. Sadly
it’s impossible to remember the past if they deny the past even occurred. From Syrian Free Press:
Excerpt:
To this very day the Armenian
Genocide, which began within the borders of the Ottoman Empire in 1915, has been
vehemently denied by the Republics of Turkey and Azerbaijan. Both Israel and
the United States of America have likewise refused to acknowledge the
historical reality of the Armenian Holocaust.
Why should these nations adamantly
persist in their denial of such a well documented crime against humanity? Because 100 years later in 2015 there is now
indisputable evidence that the very same countries are perpetrating a similar
genocide against the people of Syria, especially against the Christian
communities as occurred during the Armenian Genocide…
Only by understanding the true
origin of the Dönmeh of Turkey and the Wahhabi of Saudi Arabia will the Greater
Israel Project and the ongoing Syrian Holocaust be properly understood.
The entire Arab Spring — from start
to finish — was planned in the capitals
of the Zio-Anglo-American Axis just as each revolution was manufactured in
the various Middle Eastern capitals.
Every protest and riot throughout the Arab Spring was staged, just as
every revolution and civil war had been fabricated in those nations which the
Axis powers had targeted for a government overthrow.
In fact, not a single Arab Spring event has occurred without the
fastidious planning and precise coordination of the CIA and MI6, DGSE and
MOSSAD. The Western powers not only engineered every rebellion in the
Mideast, as they continue to do so, they have been very careful to execute each
coup d’état in such a way that the newly
installed leaders are always loyal to them, not to their respective
citizenries.
Only with this understanding can
the current Mideast wars and conflicts, genocides and holocausts, refugee
crises and exoduses be comprehended. Looking through the lens of history,
particularly the most cataclysmic events of the 20th century, will likewise
inform one’s understanding that history is once again repeating itself.
The Execution Plan for the Armenian
Genocide Duplicated in Syria
And as the West carries out the genocide in Syria on behalf
of their dance instructors in Saudi Arabia and Turkey they engage in a favorite
parlor trick of the right wing, accuse your adversary of perpetrating the crime
you are committing. From Voltairenet:
Excerpt:
The Russian Foreign Ministry has
denied Turkish accusations that Russia
is conducting ethnic cleansing in Syria, saying they are groundless and
demonstrate Ankara’s detachment from reality…
Turkish leaders, including President Recep Erdogan, have been accusing Russia of deliberately
targeting ethnic Turks in Syria after the downing of a Russian warplane on
the Turkish-Syrian border.
A Turkoman militant group killed the pilot of the downed bomber as
he was parachuting to the ground, an
act the US State Department claimed was self-defense, butwhich the Geneva Convention unambiguously
forbids. Russia launched retaliation attacks on militants in the area
after the incident.
Speaking at a weekly briefing,
Zakharova lashed out at the ongoing
Turkish incursion into Iraq. Last week, Ankara sent a tank battalion into western Iraq and refused to withdraw despite
protests from Baghdad.
“Judging by the reaction of some members of the UN Security Council,
the actions of the Turkish military were a surprise even for its closest allies.
Although thanks to the notorious block
solidarity they refrained from critical comments directed at Ankara over
those actions that blatantly violate international law,” she said.
She added: “It is becoming increasingly clear that if there is one thing they know
how to do collectively in NATO, it’s staying collectively silent.”
The spokesperson said the UN Security Council will soon discuss the
conflict over the Turkish incursion and that hopefully the scrutiny would restrain “hotheads in Ankara...”
So far Turkey has been bombing Kurdish forces more than those of IS,
seeing them as a threat to national security. This put Ankara at odds with the US, which is leading an international
coalition fighting IS in Iraq and Syria...
Yep, Washington’s coalition are being played for fools doing
Turkey’s bidding. And if you think
there’s anything resembling a free press in the U.S. or West, you are sorely
mistaken. The Western media whores aim
to please in any way, just to maintain access.
Fortunately the carefully choreographed press conferences are being
challenged by real journalists from Russia Today:
Excerpt:
Iraq is furious at Turkey’s military incursion, but the US State
Department doesn’t seem too concerned. Its spokesman stonewalled RT’s
questions about the Iraq-Turkey row, getting personal in the process.
Turkey has sent tanks and hundreds of soldiers to a base near the city
of Mosul this past weekend, and on Wednesday, TURKISH JETS BOMBED KURDS IN NORTHERN IRAQ. The government in
Baghdad has described the actions as a violation
of Iraqi sovereignty, has issued an ultimatum to Ankara to withdraw, and
has even asked NATO to rein in its errant member.
The dispute has compelled the Iraqi parliament’s Defense and Security
Committee to ask for a review of the security agreement with the US-led coalition, as committee
member Hamid Mutlaq told RT on Wednesday.
When asked about it by RT’s Gayane
Chichakyan, however, State Department
spokesman John Kirby first said he
was unaware of Iraq’s concerns.
The US wants “any action against ISIL
– inside Iraq, specifically – to be done with full cooperation and [in]
coordination with the Iraqi government, and their sovereign permission,” Kirby
insisted, noting that he had said the same thing months before, as the Pentagon
spokesman and uniformed admiral.
“Now there is this dispute between
Turkey and Iraq over the presence of a small number of troops,” the State Department spokesman added
dismissively. “And we want Turkey and Iraq to work this out. And they are.
You are trying to find a way to make this some kind of a divisive issue.”
Chichakyan asked a follow-up
question about whether Iraq has a
legitimate concern over “the situation where
the US invites forces to Iraq and the US is leading this coalition… but when
something goes wrong, the US says it’s none of our business – like what is
happening with the Turkish troops.”
“Ah, come on,” Kirby moaned, “again
another ridiculous question.” He then made personal comments about both the
journalist and the company, saying Chichakyan should be “embarrassed” to ask
such a question before claiming that “RT
very rarely asks any tough questions of their own government.”
Is it really “ridiculous” or “baseless” to ask a question about what
the Iraqis obviously consider an important issue, one that they are obviously
not “working out” bilaterally with Turkey,from a diplomatic spokesman representing the country so fond of
pointing out its leadership of the 65-nation coalition? You be the judge.
America spends billions arming and training Kurdish troops, then
Turkey kills the Kurdish troops we armed and trained. How do you suppose this will turn out? From Zero Hedge:
Excerpt:
Most Iraqis, be they civilians, military personnel, or government
officials, do not trust Americans.
At a base level, that makes all
kinds of sense. After all, the US did launch what amounted to a unilateral
invasion of the country just a little over a decade ago, and when it was all
said and done, a dictator was deposed but it’s not entirely clear that Iraqis
are better off for it.
ISIS controls key cities including the Mosul, the country’s second
largest, and security is a daily concern for the populace. The Americans are
still seen - rightly - as occupiers, and Washington’s unwillingness inability
to effectively counter ISIS has created a culture of suspicion in which most Iraqis believe the US is in cahoots
with the militants for what WaPo described as “a variety of pernicious reasons that have to do with asserting U.S.
control over Iraq, the wider Middle East and, perhaps, its oil.”
Some of the distrust, the US
contends, is fostered by Iran. Tehran wields considerable influence both within
the Iraqi military and in political circles in Baghdad. When Ash Carter announced that the US was set to send an “expeditionary
targeting force” to the country to assist in raids on Islamic State
targets, PM Haider al-Abadi flatly
rejected the proposal, saying that “Iraq does not need foreign ground
combat forces on Iraqi land." Abadi
rejected a similar Pentagon trial balloon involving Apaches helicopters last
month.
Meanwhile, Tehran’s Shiite militias threatened to attack any US soldiers operating
on Iraqi soil. “We will chase and fight any American force deployed in
Iraq. Any such American force will
become a primary target for our group. We fought them before and we are
ready to resume fighting,” a spokesman for Kata'ib Hezbollah said.
Similarly, influential Shiite lawmakers like the infamous Hakim
al-Zamili have called on Abadi to
seek direct military intervention from Moscow to expel foreign forces from
the country.
Now, in the latest example of just
how tenuous Washington’s grip on the region has become, the Iraqi parliament's Security and Defense Committee is calling for
the review and cancellation of Baghdad’s security agreement with the US.
“The government and parliament need to review the agreement signed
with the United States on security because the United States does not seriously
care about its fulfillment,” committee member Hamid al-Mutlaq, a senior
Sunni lawmaker told Sputnik on Wednesday. “We demand that it be annulled,” he
added.
Who will fill the void you ask? You
guessed it:
"Soon, a meeting [of the
committee] with Prime Minister Haider Abadi will be held, at which we will propose cooperating with Russia in
carrying out airstrikes against IS and in the fight against terrorism in
Iraq," another committee member said earlier this week.
Recall that this is precisely what
we said would happen once we learned in September that Russia, Iran, Iraq, and Syria had set up a joint intelligence
sharing cell in Baghdad.
And Iraq isn’t the only “democratic miracle” brought to you
by the stooges in Washington and their allies in Turkey and Saudi Arabia. Looks like their other “successful
liberation” in Libya is looking for Russia and Iran to provide protection. From Jafria News:

After Syria & Iraq Now Libya Wants Russian Support to Fight the
NATO & Saudi Backed Wahabi IS Terrrorists
In an interview with Sputnik, Libyan Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thani has
signaled his country’s readiness to coordinate efforts with Russia if it
decides to fight ISIS, also known as the ISIL, on Libyan territory.
He added that Libyan authorities
welcome initiatives from any country which provides support and helps restore
stability in Libya.
According to him, Libyan
authorities expect the arrival in their country of a large number of ISIS
Terrorists who fled the Russian air strikes in Syria, with many of them already
in Libya…
Libya is now undergoing through a political
gridlock that came after the overthrow,
public lynching and execution of Muammar Gaddafi during the armed conflict in
2011.
A standoff has emerged between the legally-elected parliament,
based in the eastern Libyan city of Tobruk, and the pro-Islamic General National Congress in the capital
Tripoli, Sputnik said.
On September 30, more than fifty
Russian aircraft, including Su-24M, Su-25 and Su-34 warplanes, commenced
precision airstrikes on ISIS targets in Syria at the behest of Syrian President
Bashar Assad; IRNA reported.
Do those stooges in Washington really think Turkey is
subservient to them? Do those stooges in
the State Department really think this coalition has a winning strategy? Looks like the some of the European Union
members fearing the day of reconing sure to come when it’s time to pay the
piper. From Mint Press:

‘Turkey Acts Like ISIS Ally, Should Not Be EU Member’ Says Czech
President
Turkey should not become an EU
member, said Czech President Milos Zeman, adding
that Ankara sometimes behaves like an Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL)
ally, even though Turkey is part of NATO…
“It removes oil from Syria which
finances Islamic State,” Zeman said, as quoted by Czech newspaper Parlamentni
Listy…
Zeman suggested Turkish policy
stems from the principle “the enemy of my enemy is my friend,” referring to Turkey’s suppression of the Kurds, “who are
the only ones who have fought effectively with IS,” the newspaper reported.
The president maintained this is the reason why Turkey should be approached
with caution and has no reason to be an EU member.
President Zeman also dismissed the EU’s intention to pay €3
billion (US$ 3.28 billion) to Ankara in order to better cater for the needs of
2.2 million Syrian refugees in the country…
Tsk, tsk. Lie down
with dogs and get up with fleas, so the Czech President doesn’t trust the
Washington supported NATO ally, Turkey. How
about Washington’s other major ally in their “war” against ISIS in Syria, Saudi
Arabia. Oh, oh, what’s this? From Mint Press:
Excerpt:
Saudi Arabia Bigger Threat To UK Than Russia, Says Former London Mayor
Russia is not as much a threat to
Britain and the West as Saudi Arabia, Ken Livingstone has claimed at a
conference in Moscow hosted by the pro-Kremlin television station Russia Today.
“The simple fact is, the West doesn’t face a threat from Russia,”
the former Mayor of London said. “We now face a threat from Muslim
fundamentalism. Most of which has been funded
by Saudi Arabia, our principal ally, which has funded the most intolerant
strand of Islam which bears no relation to the teaching of the Prophet
Mohammed.”
US funding of mujhadeen in
Afghanistan was responsible for 9/11 he claimed.
Russia was getting a bad press and
President Vladimir Putin was being demonised he also claimed. “In Britain no one is told about the
discrimination against Russian-speaking people in the Baltic States, no one
is told that it was actually pressure from the EU that insisted to the then Ukrainian president that they wouldn’t
sign a trade deal unless they stopped
negotiating a trade deal with Russia, and then when the president decided
that he wouldn’t do that, oddly enough
he was overthrown...”
Hmm, funny he’d bring up the paradise that the CIA run State
Department and NATO installed in Ukraine when they overthrew the elected government. Why just the other day, Veep Joe Biden was
issuing warnings to Ukrainians. “Accept
the illegitimate government of Poroshenko and Yatsenyuk and the horrors that
come with that or else.” From Financial Spots:
Excerpt:
Biden Warns Ukraine of Backsliding on Corruption
President Barack Obama sent Vice
President Joe Biden there Monday to underscore that, although the West is preoccupied with the implications of the Paris and
San Bernardino terrorist attacks, the climate change conference in Paris and continued fighting in Iraq and Syria,
it is still concerned about Ukraine's problems…
Biden also mentioned his frequent communication on a weekly basis, both
with the Ukrainian Prime Minister and President. Biden Makes Trip To
Ukraine In Sign Of US Support "As long as you continue to make progress in
fighting corruption and build a future of opportunity for all Ukraine, the US
will stand with you", US Vice President said….
A recent poll showed only 7% of Ukrainians believe the fight against
corruption has yielded any results…
US Vice President Joe Biden said
today Washington remained fully
determined to see Russian Federation adhere to a shaky Ukrainian peace
agreement and hand back Crimea to Kiev. He will reiterate the US' position
concerning Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea and its current involvement in
desabilizing eastern Ukraine.
"We do not know if there is any other historical precedent for a
foreign official giving a speech like this", said one senior United
States administration official in a teleconference with reporters. So Biden,
apparently does not want Ukraine to rock the boat. However, it is not clear if
Biden will touch upon possible additional military assistance to Ukraine during
his visit early next week.
The United Nations has warned of grave humanitarian problems and rights
abuses in eastern Ukraine, and highlighted the continued flow of Russian
weapons and fighters into a conflict that has now killed more than 9,000
people.
Yes that insignificant flea, Biden is shooting his mouth off
in Ukraine, blathering threats as if the stooges are in Washington control
anything. Washington is a pawn of Saudi
Arabia unable to make a move without permission. From RINF News:
Excerpt:
How the Richest Man in the World Rules the U.S. from Riyadh
Saudi Arabia Leads the Jihadist
Nations; U.S. Assists Them
Did you know that Saudi Arabia’s
Ambassador to the United States during 1983-2005, the Saudi Prince Bandar bin
Sultan Al Saud (affectionately known in
the U.S. as “Bandar Bush”), had donated millions to Al Qaeda before the
9/11 attacks, according to the sworn court testimony of the man who had served
as Al Qaeda’s bookkeeper and as the bagman who personally collected the
mega-donations to Al Qaeda, all in cash?
How come you didn’t read about that
in newspapers and magazines, and hear about it on TV ‘news’-reports; and why
was this stunning and crucially important testimony published only at small
independent news-sites, such as here? (Evaluate it for yourself there, and
figure out for yourself why the man there testifying is still kept hidden away
in a U.S. super-max prison, and why his testimony has been hushed up.
Even though American Presidents
have changed, America’s international policies haven’t. Barack Obama protects George W. Bush, who previously had protected
“Bandar Bush.” Obama, who publicly condemns torture, even privately
protects Bush’s agents who perpetrated tortures.)
Americans, like the citizens of
some other countries where elections are held, are told by the ‘news’ media
that it’s a ‘democracy,’ even if it’s actually not. Is the U.S., really a “democracy”?
The great investigative historian
F. William Engdahl headlined December 9th at sott, “Investigating Saudi Arabia’s sponsorship of Turkish politics,
terrorism, and the frenzied conflict in Syria,” and he put together the pieces of the type of
major news report about the Saudi-run
U.S. operation…
…the top priority of America’s foreign and military policies is to
serve King Salman al-Saud of Saudi Arabia (the world’s richest person), and to conquer his major oil-and-gas competitor
Russia, by removing heads-of-state who are allied with Russia…
…the U.S. is really just a ‘democratic’ front for the Saud family, in
the final analysis. And the Sauds were aristocrats even before the United
States existed…
“The Syrian regime is finished as far as we
and the majority of the Syrian people are concerned. [The Syrian people] will
not allow President Bashar al-Assad to remain at the helm.” That’s a bald lie,
a knowing falsehood from him...
Even Western polls show that in a free and fair, internationally
monitored election, the Syrian people
would overwhelmingly choose Bashar al-Assad over anyone else to lead Syria.
That’s why U.S. President Obama opposes
any such election in Syria, and why Russian President Putin insists that it
be held.
And speaking of elections, Donald Trump has upended the
entire corrupt Republican/Democratic Presidential primary. Donald Trump, as well as “liberals” like Bill
Mahr have called for America and the West to get out of the way and allow
President Putin of Russia eradicate ISIS in Syria.
Yes, that’s right, Donald Trump has come to the ball and has
cut in on Turkey and Saudi Arabia and is waltzing the West out of the certain
nuclear death trap in Syria and Saudi Arabia is not happy about it. From MSN:
Excerpt:
Trump 'a disgrace', Saudi billionaire says
Donald Trump is a disgrace and should pull out
of the United States presidential race, Saudi Arabian billionaire Prince
Alwaleed bin Talal tweeted late on Friday.
"@realDonaldTrump You are a
disgrace not only to the GOP but to all America," Alwaleed said on his
official Twitter account, @Alwaleed_Talal.
"Withdraw from the U.S presidential race as you will never
win."
Alwaleed is an unusually outspoken member of the Saudi royal
family, who chairs Kingdom Holding Co.
THE DIVERSIFIED FIRM'S
INTERESTS INCLUDE US-BANKING GIANT CITIGROUP.
A statement early Saturday from
Alwaleed's office said his tweet was in response to Trump's "anti-Islam
statement".
Alwaleed is a devout but moderate
Muslim.
Trump, the frontrunner for the
Republican nomination, has been lambasted both in the US and abroad for his
proposal made on Monday to temporarily bar Muslims from entering the US.
Trump's comments followed a
shooting rampage by a Muslim couple in San Bernardino, California, which left
14 dead.
So the question is, will America take Barbara Bush’s advice
and leave the dance with the one that brung ya?
Or, will America and the West turn to the new suitor at the ball and
waltz away from the nuclear death trap with Donald Trump?
