Where’s the Anti Empire Media? US Still Plundering Syria w Their Kurdish Ally/Proxy Forces

pennyforyourthoughts2 - Sun, 07/04/2021 - 09:58

 

  It’s interesting to observe the so called alt media and their silence as the US continues it's years long theft of Syrian resources with their PKK pals.  

Why so quiet anti empire media?  Has anyone noticed any continuing coverage of the US plunder/occupation/annexation of Syria? Anyone? Anywhere?  If you have direct me towards it, please? 

The so called alt media is continuing on with their dis/misinfo on Turkey. Which serves the remake the region agenda really well. As does keeping quiet on what's really continuing in Syria.

"Oddly enough the focus continues to be on Turkey's alleged control of Syria's oil fields.  While America's very major role flies under the radar. Such an Israeli/Empire friendly point of view."

The trend holds.

US Military Moves Dozens More Wheat- and Oil-Laden Trucks Out of Energy-Starved Syria
 The theft of these resources has forced Syria’s Russian and Iranian allies to provide the country with emergency fuel and food aid.
                   
The US’s pillaging of eastern Syria appears to be continuing unabated, with the Syrian Arab News Agency reporting Sunday that over 45 vehicles loaded with wheat and oil have left the Rmelan area in northeastern Hasakah province heading for the unofficial al-Waleed border crossing with Iraq.

Heading right to the PKK in Northern Iraq.

    SANA says local sources from al-Swaidiyeh village told the news agency that the convoy of vehicles included 45 truck and tanker vehicles. At the same time, the sources said, a separate convoy of 27 vehicles loaded up with supplies and equipment came through the same crossing and made their way to Rmelan to support the US forces stationed there.The news comes less than 24 hours after a separate incident, during which 37 tankers carrying oil illegally pumped from the Syrian region of Jazira and several trucks and refrigerators carrying unknown cargoes made their way for the al-Waleed crossing. In that instance, SANA’s sources said multiple tankers were fitted with large covered boxes, and that the convoy was accompanied by machinegun-armed support vehicles said to belong to the Syrian Democratic Forces – the US-allied, predominantly Kurdish militia which enjoys de facto control over much of eastern Syria.

Washington has used its control of these areas in combination with crushing sanctions to keep Damascus crippled and to prevent the war-torn from rebuilding, and Syrian media report on a weekly and sometimes daily basis on the smuggling of dozens of trucks filled with oil and grains out of the country, as military equipment and supplies are brought back in. In March, Syrian oil minister Bassam Touma estimated that as much as 90 percent of Syria’s oil resources are under the control of the US and its allies
Before the Syrian conflict began in 2011, the Middle Eastern nation enjoyed both food and energy self-sufficiency. Today, amid the US pressure, Syria is forced to depend on emergency food and oil aid from its Russian and Iranian partners. On top of that, Iranian oil deliveries reportedly carry the extra burden of being constantly harried by Israeli sabotage attacks at sea.This has been a continually covered topic here. I'm at a loss to explain the silence elsewhere?

A smattering for a few reports:

Regional remake. Creating a weaponized refugee outflow. Creating an Israel 2.0 for the benefit of Israel 1.0. Accessing water and energy resources for purposes of  total control. And profit. All in plain site.

Kids Are Using Soft Drinks to Attain Actual Positive Results on COVID-19 Tests

pennyforyourthoughts2 - Sat, 07/03/2021 - 10:25

 I'm going to cut to the chase on how it is the Soft Drinks are Generating Positive Covid Test Results.

The author wrote a lengthy water muddying piece. That unnecessary information is not included below:

First, I thought it best to check the claims, so I cracked open bottles of cola and orange juice, then deposited a few drops directly onto LFTs. Sure enough, a few minutes later, two lines appeared on each test, supposedly (weasel wording) indicating the presence of the virus that causes COVID-19.

Covid Tests Read Positive From Juice and Cola

The tests are clearly indicating positives for Covid. By choosing to employ the word "supposedly" the author is also informing us these tests are useless.  Ah, they are supposedly indicating viral presence but it's Cola and Juice so....

So the tests are useless because they can't discern virus from Cola or Juice. And yet, like the "gold standard" PCR these tests are being deployed in the fear pandemic that's been induced about a virus with a nearly 100 percent survival rate (rounding up to the nearest ten)

Brief explainer on how these tests are supposed to detect the Covid virus

If you open up an LFT device, you'll find a strip of paper-like material, called nitrocellulose, and a small red pad, hidden under the plastic casing below the T-line.

Absorbed to the red pad are antibodies that bind to the COVID-19 virus. They are also attached to gold nanoparticles (tiny particles of gold actually appear red), which allow us to see where the antibodies are on the device.

When you do a test, you mix your sample with a liquid buffer solution, ensuring the sample stays at an optimum pH, before dripping it on the strip.

The fluid wicks up the nitrocellulose strip and picks up the gold and antibodies. The latter also bind to the virus, if present. Further up the strip, next to the T (for test), are more antibodies that bind the virus.

But these antibodies are not free to move – they are stuck to the nitrocellulose. As the red smear of gold-labeled antibodies passes this second set of antibodies, these also grab hold of the virus The virus is then bound to both sets of antibodies – leaving everything, including the gold, immobilized on a line next to the T on the device, indicating a positive test

Gold antibodies that haven't bound to the virus carry on up the strip where they meet a third set of antibodies, not designed to pick up COVID-19, stuck at the C (for control) line. These trap the remaining gold particles, without having to do so via the virus.

This final line is used to indicate the test has worked.

 How does the soft drink/juice cause the appearance of a red T line? And the positive test result?

The authors explanation/excuse:

One possibility is that the drinks contain something that the antibodies recognize and bind to, just as they do to the virusSome thing like being highly acidic?

A much more likely explanation is that something in the drinks is affecting the function of the antibodies. A range of fluids, from fruit juice to cola, have been used to fool the tests, but they all have one thing in common – they are highly acidic.

The citric acid in orange juice, phosphoric acid in cola and malic acid in apple juice give these beverages a pH between 2.5 and 4. These are pretty harsh conditions for antibodies, which have evolved to work largely within the bloodstream, with its almost neutral pH of about 7.4.

Maintaining an ideal pH for the antibodies is key to the correct function of the test, and that's the job of the liquid buffer solution that you mix your sample with, provided with the test.

In acidic conditions, the protein becomes increasingly positively charged. As a result, many of the interactions that hold the protein together are disrupted, the delicate structure of the protein is affected and it no longer functions correctly. In this case, the antibodies' sensitivity to the virus is lost.

Given this, you might expect that the acidic drinks would result in completely blank tests. But denatured proteins are sticky beasts. All of those perfectly evolved interactions that would normally hold the protein together are now orphaned and looking for something to bind to.

So a likely explanation is that the immobilized antibodies at the T-line stick directly to the gold particles

It's almost as if he debunks his own explanation?

What we know for sure?  Orange Juice/ Cola and other acidic fluids generate Covid positive test results.

Turkey Securing Kabul Airport After US Withdrawal? Nothing Confirmed. Negotiations Continue. US Withdrawing?

pennyforyourthoughts2 - Fri, 07/02/2021 - 08:44

 Funny how some of the usual suspects were claiming this was a done deal as much as a week ago? 

*Reality being, ah, real, the US is NOT withdrawing from Afghanistan.   

* Second there is no deal regarding the securing of Kabul airport only continuing discussions

Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said negotiations ongoing

There must be some political decisions at the United Nations and NATO, and an agreement must be reached with the Afghan government, Akar said, after stating that Turkey was discussing plans on the issue with several countries. 

"No final decision has yet been made on the post-September arrangement, although Turkey is continuing negotiations with the U.S.," he said. 

AP

  “There must be some political decisions at the United Nations and NATO, and an agreement must be reached with the Afghan government,” he said, adding that Turkey was seeking political, financial and logistical support from various countries. 

He emphasized that a final decision had not yet been reached, but negotiations with the United States were continuing and the plan would be executed after the Turkish president’s approval.

But, but, the Loon of Alabama said this was a done deal and it was all okayed by the President???

Troops withdrawing? Depends how one interprets 'withdrawal'

The US May have left the Bagram base, but operations will not cease. They will continue from other locations

US Soldier Bagram Air Base

Not leaving, just relocating:

NYT's

Air support for the Afghan forces will be flown in from outside the country, from bases in Qatar or the United Arab Emirates, or from an aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea, in missions known colloquially as “over the horizon.” 

"what is left of the American forces in the country remain in Kabul."

After General Miller leaves in the next several days, his authorities to carry out airstrikes against Al Qaeda and the Islamic State, and, in very limited circumstances, against the Taliban, will be assumed by Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr., the head of the military’s Central Command.

Rear Adm. Peter G. Vasely, a former member of SEAL Team 6, will be in charge of the security mission at the United States Embassy in Kabul, and will report to General McKenzie. Admiral Vasely, who is already in Kabul for the transition, will command the American troops that will be largely based at the embassy and remain there indefinitely.

 So the troops are moving to Kabul. Airstrikes will continue from different locations. And at least 300 additional troops will be placed in Kabul in the near future.

General McKenzie will also be authorized to keep about 300 additional troops in Afghanistan, if needed for security, Pentagon officials said.

Recall?

Could there be more to this then meets the eye? I’ll highlight why Italy was in the UAE.  And ask the question .. Are changes afoot? Or will this move actually enable the occupation of Afghanistan to continue?Were Italian troops asked to leave to make room for the Americans and enable their continued occupation of Afghanistan?

Health Canada Issues Yet Another Covid Vaccine Warning- Pfizer and Moderna: Inflamming Hearts Globally

pennyforyourthoughts2 - Wed, 06/30/2021 - 18:42

  


 

 Interesting that Health Canada chooses the evening before Canada Day and the extra long week end (most people will have) to issue yet another warning of yet another serious Covid Vaccine effect.

 One that is and has been much more common then the always spinning media has led you to believe. Same as the VITT's. Recall when the blood clots were like one in a million? Then they became one in 55,000. Rare became more common. 

So, here we are with the Covid vaccine damaging hearts globally- you've been told.  This effect from the vaccine has been written about here for some time. But will you be informed/ warned before you take the jab?   Informed Consent? Have you exercised it? Really? Bet you didn't!
CTV

Health Canada has updated the labels for the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines to include information on the very rare  (not so rare) reports of myocarditis and pericarditis following vaccination.

Myocarditis, or inflammation of the heart muscle, and pericarditis, which is inflammation of the tissue surrounding the heart, following vaccination have been reported in a small number of people in Canada and internationally, according to Health Canada.

Symptoms include chest pain, shortness of breath or the feeling of having a fast-beating, fluttering or pounding heart (palpitations). Health Canada recommends people seek immediate medical attention if they experience any of those symptoms within several days following vaccination.

Health Canada and other international regulators are “continuing to investigate the potential relationship between COVID-19 vaccines and these rare events. Most reported cases to date have followed vaccination with an mRNA vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna) and, based on an analysis of international cases, have occurred more often after the second dose and in younger male adults and adolescents,” according to the release.

The short-term data available has shown that the adverse effects were “typically (but not always) mild and treatable,” Health Canada said. The health agency added that Canadian data is expected to evolve as more people in these populations are vaccinated. Data on long-term outcomes is not available yet.

Long Covid may be 100 times less common than scientific studies suggest, according to GP records

pennyforyourthoughts2 - Wed, 06/30/2021 - 07:24

Earlier: 

Long Covid:

 We’ve all seen the term bandied about endlessly. If you don’t want “short” covid you sure as heck don’t want “long covid” It’s the covid that goes on and on and on. Terrifying. And the very idea of it's existence was meant to be terrifying. “Long covid” and claims of it’s abundance have always been a question in my mind. Seemed improbable, highly suspect and most probably just more fear porn.

Long Covid may be 100 times less common than scientific studies suggest, according to GP recordsGP records show 23,000 recorded cases of the illness, not 2 million, leading to questions over how the gap arose

Yes, how could such a gap have arose? A gap that is 100 times the size of the real data?

Long Covid may be much less common than previously feared, after an analysis of GP records found official cases of the condition were barely one hundredth the level suggested by scientific studies.

The most significant scientific study, known as REACT and published last week, indicated that about 2 million people in the UK currently have the condition and that 38 per cent of Covid patients have symptoms lasting at least 12 weeks.

 Science or spin? The question always has to be asked. Because science is in a sad, sad state of affairs.

By contrast, a “pseudonymised” analysis of 57.9 million GP records in England has found only 23,273 cases ever formally recorded between February 2020 and April 2021, in a sample covering 96 per cent of the population.
                       
“We were very surprised to see almost a hundred-fold difference in prevalence between population survey estimates and formally recorded diagnoses for the same condition,” said Ben Goldacre, of Oxford University.
“Good data on Long Covid will be crucial for research into the prevalence of Long Covid, its causes and consequences, and to plan services effectively,” he said.

If "Long Covid" doesn't exist, and that seems to be the case, then research for it can't exist either? And research dollars can't be garnered by universities from pharma corporations. Never mind the big pharma profits that can't be made. Oh the disgruntled shareholders. Woe is them..

Capillary leak syndrome potential side-effect of AstraZeneca vaccine: Heath Canada

pennyforyourthoughts2 - Wed, 06/30/2021 - 07:02

So the main stream media is finally catching up to the reports of this potentially deadly Covid vaccine effect.  

Reported here two weeks ago:

Canada’s Covid Vaccine Weekly Death and Injury Report- Data Lags, Vaccine Injury and Death Increase & Capillary Leak Syndrome

 One wonders when the news below will get more mainstream coverage?

*4  Guillain- Barre Syndrome is occurring in higher numbers then would normally be expected- 

GB Syndrome is occurring at ten times the anticipated rate.

Rare Neurological Disorder – Guillain-Barré Syndrome – Following COVID-19 Vaccination

The frequency of Guillain-Barré syndrome in these areas was estimated to be up to 10 times greater than expected.

There are 28 cases in Canada according to the latest, always lagging, data. See here

 CityTVNews

Health Canada is updating the label for the Oxford-AstraZeneca and COVISHIELD COVID-19 vaccines to add capillary leak syndrome as a potential side-effect.

The agency is also including a warning for patients with a history of the ailment to not get those vaccines.

Capillary leak syndrome is a very rare, serious condition that causes fluid leakage from small blood vessels (capillaries), which can result in the swelling of the arms and legs, sudden weight gain, low blood pressure, thickening of the blood and low levels of the albumin blood protein.

Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada have been monitoring the condition since it was raised as a potential safety concern by the European Medicines Agency in April.

Earlier this month, the EU drug regulator said it reviewed cases of six people who had capillary leak syndrome after they had received a shot of the AstraZeneca vaccine, out of 78 million doses of the AstraZeneca and COVISHIELD vaccines administered in Europe and the United Kingdom as of May 27, 2021.

There has been one case of capillary leak syndrome following vaccination with the AstraZeneca or COVISHIELD COVID-19 vaccine reported in Canada as of June 11th.

Nigeria Announces Arrest of Separatist Leader Who Fled to Israel and the UK. Curious

pennyforyourthoughts2 - Tue, 06/29/2021 - 14:10

 A curious tale. Or perhaps, not so curious? When one thinks of  balkanization/destabilization agendas and probable ties to certain intelligence apparatus....

Nigeria Announces Arrest of Separatist Leader Who Fled to Israel and the UK

 



                 ABUJA, Nigeria — A Nigerian separatist leader, Nnamdi Kanu, whose whereabouts were previously unknown, has been arrested to face trial, the country’s justice minister said Tuesday.

“Nnamdi Kanu has been intercepted… He has been brought back to Nigeria, in order to continue facing trial after disappearing,” Abubakar Malami, who is also attorney general, said in a statement.

Kanu was arrested in late 2015 after calling for a separate state for Biafra, in southeast Nigeria.

His detention sparked mass protests and clashes with security services.

The former London estate agent disappeared in 2017 after being released on bail, only to reemerge in Israel and then in Britain.

London Estate Agent? Real Estate? Or Lawyer/Barrister? Banker?

Kanu maintains the Igbo people, who are in the majority in southeast Nigeria, are a lost tribe of Israel and it is his mission to lead them to the promised land of Biafra.

The head of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) movement was detained again on Sunday, Malami added, without giving details on the location of his arrest.

He is facing trial for charges that include “terrorism, treasonable felony, managing an unlawful society, publication of defamatory matter, illegal possession of firearms and improper importation of goods, among others,” the statement said.

Southeast Nigeria has seen a recent surge in attacks, with around 130 police and security officials killed and around 20 police stations attacked this year, according to local media tallies.

Election offices have also been attacked.

IPOB, which agitates for a separate Igbo state, has denied being behind the violence, accusing the government of a smear campaign.

So, we've already got signs of a destabilization on the ground?

Calls for a separate state of Biafra are a sensitive subject in Nigeria, after a unilateral declaration of independence in 1967 sparked a brutal 30-month civil war.

More than one million people died, most of them Igbos, from the effects of conflict and disease.      

 For your information- In the Southeast- On the coast. There is also oil

Canada’s Weekly Covid Vaccine Death and Injury Update- 4 Safety Signals of Concern- More Dead

pennyforyourthoughts2 - Mon, 06/28/2021 - 17:37

VAERS (US) 6,136 deaths

Weekly Report up to June 18/21 which is, of course, not accurate
Because the data is as always incomplete as you will see below↓↓

           
 

 The data is "up to date" to May 28/21


*One potential new safety signal has been identified
(one continues to be monitored)

*31,400,466 Total doses administered

*7,926 Total adverse event following immunization reports
 (0.025% of all doses administered)

* 6,207 Total adverse event following immunization reports that were non-serious
 (0.020% of all doses administered)

*1,719 Total adverse event following immunization reports that were serious
 (0.005% of all doses administered)

* 312  New adverse event following immunization reports since last update
 (181 new non-serious and 131 new serious)

One new safety signal in the "what you need to know" chart  BUT, look a little further.


There are 4 safety signals of concern being monitored- 4

*1- Cases of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome following vaccination with AstraZeneca/COVISHIELD COVID-19 vaccine continue to be monitored.   
    
Up to and including June 18, 2021, there were 58 cases of TTS in Canada with reports submitted to PHAC or to Health Canada. Of the TTS cases:

    54 cases received COVISHIELD/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines, three received a Pfizer vaccine, and one received a Moderna vaccine.
That count is up!
*2- Inflammed Hearts: The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and Health Canada are also monitoring international reports (World Health Organization, United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, European Medicines Agency, Israel) of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the lining around the heart) following vaccination with COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. Cases experienced mild illness, responded well to conservative treatment and rest, and their symptoms improved quickly. Evidence is evolving and investigations into the association between myocarditis/pericarditis and mRNA vaccines continue. Health Canada is working closely with the manufacturers and international regulators to review information as it becomes available and will work with manufacturers to include information in the product labelling as needed.

Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle and pericarditis is inflammation of the lining around the heart.
Up to and including June 18, 2021( Inaccurate.incomplete data makes this number meaningless but it’s all we have)  there were 65 cases of myocarditis/pericarditis with reports submitted to PHAC or Health Canada. ( Expect the number to increase)

*3 Capillary Leak Syndrome - PHAC and Health Canada are aware of international reports and regulatory actions related to capillary leak syndrome and the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine. Health Canada is working with the manufacturers and international regulators to review information as it becomes available and work with manufacturers to include information in the product labelling as needed.*4  Guillain- Barre Syndrome is occuring in higher numbers then would normally be expected- PHAC and Health Canada have been actively monitoring reports of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) in Canada following AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccination and are now seeing a higher number of cases than would normally be expected in the general population. Health Canada is continuing its review and is working closely with the manufacturers and international regulators to review information as it becomes available and will take appropriate
  Up to and including June 18, 2021, there are a total of 28 reports of GBS in Canada. Of the GBS cases:

    16 cases received COVISHIELD/AstraZeneca vaccines (0.62 reports per 100,000 doses administered), 10 cases received Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine (0.04 reports per 100,000 doses administered), and 2 cases received Moderna vaccine (0.03 reports per 100,000 doses administered).

For those who may not know Guillain Barre is very often associated with vaccines

"(GBS) is a rare, autoimmune disorder in which a person’s own immune system damages the nerves, causing muscle weakness and sometimes paralysis. GBS can cause symptoms that last for a few weeks to several years. Most people recover fully, but some have permanent nerve damage. Some people have died of GBS"

 And it's occurring much more often  then you think..

Rare Neurological Disorder – Guillain-Barré Syndrome – Following COVID-19 Vaccination

The frequency of Guillain-Barré syndrome in these areas was estimated to be up to 10 times greater than expected.

“If the link is causal it could be due to a cross-reactive immune response to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and components of the peripheral immune system,” wrote the authors of the report from England.

Doncha love how everything is rare as it becomes more common?

That is 4 items of concern that are being monitored- One must always read beyond the opening presentation to get down to the real nitty gritty

Deaths are up:

Deaths:

    Up to and including June 18, 2021, a total of 119 deaths were reported after the administration of a vaccine.
Since this is a weekly update I’ve treated this as a weekly count. Feel free to agree or disagree.
Taking this as a weekly would bring Canada’s Covid Vaccine death count up to 938.   

819 previously  + 119 (latest)  = 938. 

You may feel that too high?  I find the 119 number too low knowing that early deaths were not counted AND these numbers are under reported. Always. One had to also bear in mind that the US numbers are well over 6,000 dead and they are under counted as well.
Long term one can only wonder what the real side effects will be. 

 Breakthrough cases keep occurring including the recent death of a woman in the Kitchener/ Waterloo region. Ontario, Canada.

US air strikes in Iraq, Syria target 'Iran-backed militia groups'

pennyforyourthoughts2 - Mon, 06/28/2021 - 07:32

Follows right along with this report from yesterday:

The Turkey Democracy Project includes several prominent members of United Against Nuclear Iran, a group whose members have called for the U.S.-led overthrow of the Iranian government, as well as the hawkish former White House national security adviser John Bolton.

France24

The United States said on Sunday it carried out another round of air strikes against Iran-backed militia in Iraq and Syria, this time in response to drone attacks by the militia against US personnel and facilities in Iraq. In a statement, the US military said it targeted operational and weapons storage facilities at two locations in Syria and one location in Iraq. It did not disclose whether it believed anyone was killed or injured but officials said assessments were ongoing.

Iraqi militia groups aligned with Iran in a statement named four members of the Kataib Sayyed al-Shuhada faction they said were killed in the attack on the Syria-Iraq border. They vowed to retaliate.

The strikes came at the direction of President Joe Biden, the second time he has ordered retaliatory strikes against Iran-backed militia since taking office five months ago. Biden last ordered limited strikes in Syria in February, that time in response to rocket attacks in Iraq.

"As demonstrated by this evening's strikes, President Biden has been clear that he will act to protect US personnel," the Pentagon said in a statement.

US Occupation Forces

At President Biden's direction, US military forces earlier this evening conducted defensive precision airstrikes against facilities used by Iran-backed militia groups in the Iraq-Syria border region. Our full statement here. https://t.co/6tRkh6zsLU

— John Kirby (@PentagonPresSec) June 28, 2021

Iraq's Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhemi on Monday condemned the air strikes.

 "We condemn the US air attack that targeted a site last night on the Iraqi-Syrian border, which represents a blatant and unacceptable violation of Iraqi sovereignty and Iraqi national security," his office said in a statement.

Compartmentalized strikes vs engaged diplomacy

The strikes came even as Biden's administration is looking to potentially revive a 2015 nuclear deal with Iran. The decision to retaliate appears to show how Biden aims to compartmentalize such defensive strikes, while simultaneously engaging Tehran in diplomacy.

Biden's critics say Iran cannot be trusted and point to the drone attacks as further evidence that Iran and its proxies will never accept a US military presence in Iraq or Syria.

Biden and the White House declined comment on the strikes on Sunday. But Biden will meet Israel's outgoing president, Reuven Rivlin, at the White House on Monday for a broad discussion that will include Iran and US efforts to re-enter the Iran nuclear deal. Those efforts have raised serious concerns in Israel, Iran's arch-foe.

US officials believe Iran is behind a ramp-up in increasingly sophisticated drone attacks and periodic rocket fire against US personnel and facilities in Iraq, where the US military has been helping Baghdad combat the remnants of Islamic State.

Two US officials, speaking to Reuters on condition of anonymity, said Iran-backed militias carried out at least five drone attacks against facilities used by US and coalition personnel in Iraq since April.

The Pentagon said the facilities targeted were used by Iran-backed militia including Kataib Hezbollah and Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada.

One of the facilities targeted was used to launch and recover the drones, a defense official said. The US military carried out strikes with F-15 and F-16 aircraft, officials said, adding the pilots made it back from the mission safely.

"We assess each strike hit the intended targets," one of the officials told Reuters.

Iraq's government is struggling to deal with militias ideologically aligned with Iran which are accused of rocket fire against US forces and of involvement in killing peaceful pro-democracy activists.

Earlier in June, Iraq released Iran-aligned militia commander Qasim Muslih, who was arrested in May on terrorism-related charges, after authorities ound insufficient evidence against him.


Further reading at alaraby 

"At least 5 Iran-backed Iraqi militia fighters were killed and several others were wounded in an attack by US warplanes" on the Syrian side of the frontier, said the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

Syria's state-run SANA news agency said one child had been killed, and that at least three other people were wounded. Joe Biden- The hero to the self identified warm and cuddly left, progressives... 2nd round of airstrikes launched since taking office- A man of peace?

Breakthrough Case Disinfo: 4115 Fully Vaccinated Against Covid Were Hospitalized Or Died. How Many Infected After Jab?

pennyforyourthoughts2 - Sun, 06/27/2021 - 16:14

 I would have expected better numbers then quoted from this claimed miraculous, pandemic ending vaccine.
  But, of course these numbers don't tell us the whole story, the real story about how ineffective these "vaccines" really are. If we all  knew the real number of breakthrough cases we would be aware of what an  absolutely ineffective vaccine this is for ending the so called pandemic, supposed benefit. While realizing the risk ( injury, sickness and death) is much greater then the benefit.

The question that needs to be answered..

 How many in total contracted Covid after vaccination? 

 What are those numbers?  What's the count?  Including those that didn't require hospitalization. Those that didn't die. Those that contracted the virus this alleged vaccine is supposed to protect from. That number that would better inform us about the effectiveness of this jab. And that's the reason the CDC isn't counting and you're prevented from knowing. Impeding you from being able to exercise real informed consent about this jab.

 Readers here learned last month the CDC wasn’t going to bother keeping track of all the breakthrough cases.That was stated very plainly by that agency. Why would the CDC ignore all the data? It seems sensible to me that the benefits don’t really outweigh the risk so it's best to keep the data hidden.

May 26/21: Pt2: Effective? Covid Jabs, Deadly Leaky Kill Shots Claimed as Safe & Effective

“The CDC noted that the actual number of vaccine breakthrough cases is likely to be substantially higher because most will result in asymptomatic or mild infections that won't be tested”That’s right! The number of breakthrough cases will be substantially higher.They aren't going to be tracked and you're not going to know.

The C.D.C. is a surveillance agency,” Dr. Mokdad said. “How can you do surveillance and pick one number and not look at the whole?”Answer: You can’t. Unless the intention is to cherry pick data!
   
As was stated in May by yours truly:
It will never be known how many breakthrough cases will actually occur. Admitted! So all the numbers they toss around are going to be meaningless

Forbes was one of the first out of the gate Lying by omission in a published oped, before we read that let's get on the same page by understanding the concept of: Lying by omission

Lying by omission, otherwise known as exclusionary detailing, is lying by either omitting certain facts or by failing to correct a misconceptionData can always be manipulated. Truths can always be obfuscated. Lying by omission is a very good way to manage perception. And the Forbes oped is a fine example of this type of manipulation Author of said spin piece wants you to know how awesome these vaccine are based on the CDC’s  cherry picked data.

" But consider the fact that over 150 million people in U.S. have already been fully vaccinated in U.S. Doing a quick calculation with your abacus and your fingers and toes will reveal that the 4,115 cases constitute less than 0.003% of all fully vaccinated people in the U.S. Compare that with the measured effectiveness of the Covid-19 vaccine, which has ranged from about 70 percent to 95 plus percent. That means that at least 5% of the time a vaccine won’t be able to prevent Covid-19 after exposure to the virus"

Except his quick calculation with abacus and fingers (charming as it is) is not the whole truth. It's not the reality. And his range of effectiveness numbers are also nonsense. 

How may of the 150 million fully vaccinated have contracted Covid after vaccination?

Even Mr Lee has to admit this is not known, but that doesn't stop him from shamelessly promoting the vaccines.

"Back in April, the CDC stopped keeping track of all reported breakthrough infections, choosing instead to focus going forward just on those in which hospitalizations or deaths were involved.

Therefore, the 4,115 is only the tip of the Kardashian so to speak, meaning that it’s only what’s been obvious and getting attention. The actual total number of breakthrough infections is higher although it isn’t really clear how much higher.


And it will never be clear because the CDC is not going to count them and persons like Mr Lee will dance around that reality by using colourful prose to mystify.  (Which you can read for yourself at the link provided) I could only hold my nose for so long while writing up this piece for the blog, since I had the misfortune of reading through the article once already. 

Clever? Yes. Misleading? Yes. There is some truth in the piece to be sure. But it's largely obscured

The Destabilization of Turkey Progresses: Neo Cons Sharpen Their Aim

The Destabilization of Turkey Progresses: Neo Cons Sharpen Their Aim

pennyforyourthoughts2 - Sun, 06/27/2021 - 09:09

A bit of an aside “progress” almost always has a positive connotation. Oh we’re making progress. Including the use of the nonsensical “progressives” to describe persons of a certain political leaning.   Often though, it shouldn’t be taken as a positive. Examples:
* “We’re making progress in the pandemic with vaccination” Are we? 
* The destabilization of Turkey is progressing; Which makes plain, or should make plain that, displacement, death and destruction will be the outcome.  *The  outcomes for many people worsened as the destabilization of Syria progressed. 

 Progress and progression should not be cast in a positive light nor seen as a positive at all times.  Much of the time the use of the word hides a great deal of dark.

The Neo Cons Take Aim At Turkey- Responsible Statecraft (hat tip brian)

I’ll feature the RS article below two previous reports. One from 2015. Another from 2016. You see the Neo Cons have been taking aim at Turkey for years now- And I’ve covered it all here for many years. This is not a first. It’s not new. It’s a progression of the remake agenda that’s been talked about endlessly. 

Michael Rubin

The Turkish government, its military, and Turkish diplomats may deny any implication that partition could be Turkey’s fate, and US officials will do so publicly, but behind the hot denials, it seems increasingly likely that some sort of division will be the second order effect of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s cynical drive toward autocracy.

So if the Turkish military moves to oust Erdogan and place his inner circle behind bars, could they get away with it?

In the realm of analysis rather than advocacy, the answer is yes. At this point in election season, it is doubtful that the Obama administration would do more than castigate any coup leaders, especially if they immediately laid out a clear path to the restoration of democracy. 
The Neo Cons were quieter under Trump, but quieter doesn't mean inactive.

Hawks pushing for war and regime change in Iran have formed a new group to challenge Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.- Responsible Statecraft link above

Prominent neoconservatives and other hawks have set their sights on Turkey, announcing a new Washington-based group “in response to Turkey’s recent turn away from democracy and toward authoritarianism” on Thursday.

The Turkey Democracy Project states that its mission is to “inform a policy towards Turkey that opposes its destabilizing behavior, supports genuine democratic reform, and holds the forces of corruption and oppression within Turkey to account.”

But they never oppose US or Israeli destabilizing behaviour.. This is transfer propaganda being deployed

“For the better part of the last century, Turkey was a reliable ally  (until they cooperated far too much with Russia, Iran, and China) and a model in the region of liberal ideals and cultural freedom,” the group says on its website. “But in recent years, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has dramatically altered Turkey’s position in the international community and its status as a free and liberal democracy.” (didn't follow NATO's edicts to a tee)

Turkey has been a U.S. ally since the end of World War II, but its democratic record is spotty. The Turkish military has overthrown several democratically-elected governments, and parts of the country have been under on-and-off martial law since the Kurdish uprising of the 1980s.- (fast and loose with facts)

The Turkey Democracy Project includes several prominent members of United Against Nuclear Iran, a group whose members have called for the U.S.-led overthrow of the Iranian government, as well as the hawkish former White House national security adviser John Bolton.

The new anti-Turkey group is headed by UANI chief executive Mark Wallace. Its members include UANI chairman Joe Lieberman, former Florida governor Jeb Bush, retired Bush administration counterterrorism official Frances Townsend, career U.S. diplomat Alejandro Wolff, retired CIA officer Robert Richer and former UANI intelligence chief Norman Roule.

UANI megadonor Thomas Kaplan helped co-found Justice for Kurds, another group dedicated to pushing back on Turkey’s influence. Kaplan is not listed as a member of the Turkey Democracy Project. (he's afilliated)

The creation of the Turkey Democracy Project is the latest sign that Ankara has shifted from a favored ally of U.S. hawks to one of their major bugbears. ( the latest sign of many signs that have flashed brightly for years now) It would not be the first time American hawks turned on a former U.S. sidekick; in the 1980s and 1990s, Republican administrations went from backing Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s war against Iran to pushing for a U.S.-led regime change campaign against him.

Turkey had long served as the eastern flank of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and a key outpost for U.S. operations in the Middle East. The Turkish military purchased $16.6 billion in American weapons from the end of the Cold War to 2021, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute arms trade database.

But the Erdoğan government has run afoul of Washington in recent years. It has picked fights with European allies over energy resources, bought Russian missiles, taken a hardline stance against Israel, and allowed U.S. rivals to evade economic sanctions.

Oh, dear taken a hardline stance against Israel- For all the bullsh*tter$ around that claim Turkey and Israel are buddied up- You have no clue what you are speaking of. Unless intentional disinfo is your motivation?

Here's a J-Post article that makes clear the targeting of Iran and Turkey: 

Turkey and Iran: Parallel Islam imperialist ambitions for the Middle East

"Neither Ankara nor Tehran want a strong Iraq, or a strong Syria. On the contrary, the fragmentation of these countries suits both."That's not true because Syria and Iraq, destabilized will create further instability in the region- And in fact already has- This is what the US and Israel want to redraw the borders

The most dramatic confrontation took place in October 2019. While the Trump administration had hoped to enlist Turkey as a partner in the Syrian civil war, Turkey instead attacked U.S.-backed Kurdish forces, creating a humanitarian crisis and embarrassing the United States.

Bolton, who left the White House shortly before the crisis unfolded, had taken an antagonistic stance towards both Turkey and the Kurds. In his memoirs, he compared Erdoğan to Italian fascist leader Benito “Mussolini speaking from his Rome balcony,but also called left-wing Kurdish fighters a “terrorist group.” (At least Bolton know who and what the US's Kurdish pals really are- he's got no clue on Mussolini though)

With his new Turkey-focused group, Bolton is softening his tone on the Turkish state’s opponents.

“In addition to persecuting those Kurds who live within Turkey’s borders, Erdogan has attacked Kurdish targets in Syria and Iraq,” the Turkey Democracy Project states. “Turkey is also targeting the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) — the United States’ most reliable partner in Syria and the coalition most responsible for the demise of ISIS.”

 The Kurds are ISIS. And they've always been. 

A handful of many previous reports on this topic:

Previously stated: Internet gatekeepers/dupes keep on pushing the 'fierce' Kurd meme!! It helps NATO/Israel so very much. It serves NATO/Israeli interests quite well.  Keep shoring up the artificially contrived good cop/bad cop routine. There is no difference between the Kurds/ISIS. They are one & the same in this situation. Each "cop" has their job to do. They are performing their assigned duties. Remaking the ME. Nation destroying. Killing civilians. Forcing the relocation of people who have homes, jobs, families etc. from their  own nation state. Driving these intentionally displaced persons onto cohesive societies in Europe in order to break down and destroy those long standing European societies. Enriching human, organ and drug traffickers. As for Kurdistan? It won't even benefit the Kurds. It will represent the expansion of Israel.

UAE expels Italian troops from its territory

pennyforyourthoughts2 - Sat, 06/26/2021 - 08:35

Italy = NATO occupied.  Could there be more to this then meets the eye? I’ll highlight why Italy was in the UAE.  And ask the question .. Are changes afoot? Or will this move actually enable the occupation of Afghanistan to continue?

Bearing in mind Italy is under a different government. Again. At this time it is lead by a known autocrat/technocrat EU/NATO Firster  Prime Minister Mario Draghi.

To be clear I do NOT believe that the US is 'withdrawing' from Afghanistan. They did not leave Iraq, Syria, Italy, Germany, Japan etc., and they aren't leaving Afghanistan.

"Matteo Perego Di Cremnago, an Italian member of parliament and member of the parliamentary defense commission, told Defense News that Italy had been given until July 2 to leave the Al Minhad airbase in the UAE.

“The pull-out has already started and while work is underway by Italy to secure a last-minute cancellation of the eviction, I doubt it will succeed,” he said.

He added that when relationships break down in the Persian Gulf it is very hard to resurrect them.

Former Italian air force chief Gen. Leonardo Tricarico told Defense News that the last Italian aircraft had left the base on Thursday, leaving only residual material to collect.

Tricarico, who is now chairman of the ICSA think tank in Rome, said the eviction was just part of the harsh treatment of Italy doled out by the UAE.

“The UAE has also denied the use of its airspace to Italian military aircraft,” he said.

The Italian ministry of defense did not respond to a request for comment by press time.

Al Minhad base in Dubai in the UAE, which hosts aircraft from various nations, has been crucial to Italy since it took space in 2015 there for mounting flights over Iraq and as a stop-off en route to Italian bases in Afghanistan. If confirmed, the eviction may now seriously complicate Italy’s ongoing pull-out from Afghanistan.

Might mean Italian troops would have to stay stationed in Afghanistan?


Italy has also used Al Minhad as a base for flights in support of multinational operations in the Horn of Africa and the Indian Ocean.

The UAE eviction has been linked to Italy’s decision in January to place an embargo on the sale of munitions and missiles to the UAE and Saudi Arabia due to concerns over the Persian Gulf states’ military campaign in Yemen.

The Italian embargo was implemented by a coalition government led by former prime minister Giuseppe Conte which was backed by the center-left Democratic Party and the anti-establishment Five Star Party"

New York Times: Salman Abedi Met with “ISIS™” Says Secret Sources Providing Zero Evidence

American Everyman - Sat, 06/03/2017 - 05:39

by Scott Creighton

Last year Hillary Clinton’s campaign crumbled largely because of her extreme dishonesty, criminality and the machinations of those around her, specifically the DNC, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and John Podesta. Much of it was brought to light by federal and congressional investigations into her use of an illegal private server while she was Secretary of State, a move she made deliberately (not a “mistake”) to shield herself from future prosecution. But still more of the evidence that she was unfit to serve as president came from leaks from various unknown sources via DCLeaks, Wikileaks and other publications. In those cases, yes, the leakers or “sources” were unknown, but the evidence was laid out for all too see and not one of the leaked emails or documents were ever proven to have been falsified. In fact, few if any were ever even question by those parties associated with them.

Though the sources were anonymous, the evidence was rock solid and the damage was clear: the “most qualified candidate for the office of all time” lost her race to a bloviating reality TV star who had once been recorded as saying he liked grabbing women by their genitalia when he met them.

Today, it seems, our complicit media plays by a different set of rules:

According to them – Trump is Putin’s puppet, according to secret sources and evidence even reporters haven’t seen and Russia hacked the election, according to more secret sources who again, provided no evidence to back up the claim. The story of the James Comey memo lived it’s life for two weeks with an unknown source and never once even examined by the writers who reported on it.

Secret sources, secret evidence none of it is actually true and yet that’s good enough for congresswomen to screech their demands for Trump’s impeachment daily.

Back in 2002 and early 2003, the complicit media drove the country to war with Iraq based on lies provided to them by an administration determined to regime change the country so their friends in Big Business could profit from the chaos to follow. They said there were connections to al Qaeda, WMDs and efforts to buy Yellow Cake from Niger and we couldn’t allow the final evidence to show up in the form of a “mushroom cloud”

The press went with it full steam ahead. And back then, these lies were at least supported by so-called “evidence” provided by various “intelligence” sources. Faked documents, satellite images that had been misinterpreted, testimony from supposed named insiders… the lies were backed by something at least and in the end it was the exposure of the faked intel that did them in. Just ask Colin Powell if you can find him under whatever rock he’s hiding under these days.

Faked documents, outright lies and a war for profit that killed a million civilians to start with and still kills more and more to this day… and no impeachment for the administration that did it.

Today, we don’t need no stinking evidence apparently.

Just take the case of the New York Times’ June 3rd article on Manchester bombing patsy Salman Abedi and his new alleged connection with … “ISIS™”

“The bomber who killed 22 people at a pop concert in Manchester, England, last month had met in Libya with members of an Islamic State unit linked to the 2015 Paris terrorist attack, according to current and retired intelligence officials…”

“The content of the communications between the attacker, Salman Abedi, and the terrorist cell remain unknown…”

“… according to a retired European intelligence chief, who spoke on the condition of anonymity…”

“…confirmed by a senior United States intelligence official, who also spoke on the condition of anonymity.” New York Times

Their secret sources (who apparently wont stand by their intel) offer no evidence of this claim but apparently that’s just fine with the New York Times and their intrepid staff of “journalists”

Let’s just think about this for a minute.

In Manchester, according to the official story, 22 people lost their lives and another 100 or so were injured with a couple thousand more being traumatized for life. You would think the Times would pay very close attention to the developing story of the man accused of the attack on these people in an effort to make sure justice is done for all of those effected by this tragedy if not for the purpose of making sure yet another terrorism suspect isn’t railroaded by authorities like so many have been in the past right here in the States.

But no.

Instead the Times regurgitates WITHOUT QUESTION anything the Deep State tells them… almost as if their publication is merely an appendage of the intelligence industrial complex… which we all know it is.

Trump is a Putchurian candidate while Abedi is “ISIS™”. No evidence offered. None needed. Just the accusation is required for quilt to be assigned.

Kinda like the kangaroo courts they try terror suspects in these days, right?

I guess they did learn something from the run-up to the invasion of Iraq. The people of this country will literally believe anything, just so long as it comes from the New York Times.

John Judge Interview Videos

American Everyman - Fri, 06/02/2017 - 07:25

by Scott Creighton

“I tell people you can call me a conspiracy theorist if you call everyone else a coincidence theorist,” John P. Judge

Johnnie Favorite recommended I take a look at the work of John P. Judge, an independent researcher and activist for decades. John resume of resistance, real resistance, is long. Dates back to his teens really. His entire life was dedicated to exposing the inner workings of the Deep State and countering their endless barrage of propaganda.

“John Judge was a co-founder of 911 CitizensWatch, a grassroots watchdog group demanding transparency and a thorough investigation by the National Commission on Terrorist Acts Upon the United States. John was also a co-founder of Committee for an Open Archives, Coalition on Political Assassinations (COPA), and the Committee for High School Options and Information on Careers, Education and Self-Improvement (CHOICES), a group countering military recruitment in the schools and providing civilian alternatives. John was on the board of the Washington Peace Center and was an activist opposing war, racism and militarism since the 1960s. John was an independent researcher and lecturer on political assassinations, covert operations, hidden history, and the rise of fascism in America, and made himself available as a speaker for presentations, forums, and media interviews” Radical (dot) org

John passed away in 2014 at the age of 66. Cynthia McKinney wrote this about John in 2012. It’s high praise coming from someone with as much character as she has:

“… John Judge is a researcher: inside John’s brain is a compendium of government policies, programs, and actions that have profoundly affected the way our government works. Ignorance of what John researches impedes the fullest exercise possible of citizenship in this country. Every U.S. citizen should be aware of what John researches. But because John is not a Member of the academy, and does not publish in academic journals, John Judge is perhaps one of the most important unknown historians of our generation…” Cynthia McKinney

Cynthia says in the video below:

“Assassination takes place all the time. Political assassination. Character assassination. And worse. And in just one reading of the Cointelpro papers, you can see all the different forms of political assassinations they use” Cynthia McKinney

How true is that? How relevant is it today as the red-baiting New McCarthyites scream new “Trump is owned by Russia!!!” propaganda daily?

You can find a record of some of John Judge’s writings, here.

“I agree with Ishmael Reed who says in Mumbo Jumbo, “The real history of the world is a history of competing conspiracies.” John J. Judge

Remarkably, he was so influential as a researcher and “conspiracy theorist”, John garnered a sort of obituary in the Washington Post when he passed away.

“Through years of investigation and activism, Mr. Judge developed a devoted following in the community of skeptics who question official or commonly accepted narratives of the past. He co-founded and directed the Coalition on Political Assassinations, an organization whose activities include investigating the deaths in the 1960s of John Kennedy, his brother Robert F. Kennedy, civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and black nationalist leader Malcolm X. News outlets, with some frequency, featured Mr. Judge and his work.

He turned his Washington home into a repository of thousands of volumes and documents on political assassinations and other matters, supporting himself over the decades through odd jobs and fundraising work. He was once described as a “professional conspiracist,” but he considered himself an “alternate historian,” according to his Web site, judgeforyourself.org.

“I tell people you can call me a conspiracy theorist if you call everyone else a coincidence theorist,” Mr. Judge quipped to the publication National Journal.” Washington Post

Unlike a lot of the so-called “alternative” researchers and activists out there today, John wasn’t former CIA or NSA or NASA or career military. In fact, he led a program to help young underprivileged kids find ways to plan their futures WITHOUT joining the army.

Why shoot Reagan? Because there are divisions within the class. Because the class is not monolithic. Because you ascend Bush into 6 terms.” John Judge

As far as I can tell, his life was dedicated to activism and research in pursuit of the better country and world so many of us envision.

“An avid public speaker, Judge never spoke about himself but rather, humbly retained a tireless devotion to the search for truth beyond the official government or mainstream media record. Until his final days, Judge was a seeker of truth and justice of the first order. He is irreplaceable in the annals of serious research and documentation.” Assassination of JFK

Below the fold there are 4 videos. The first three come from Assassination of JFK Youtube channel. The last is an open forum discussion with Cynthia McKinney.

Black-Hating Negroes and Their Uses: David Clarke at Homeland Security

American Everyman - Fri, 06/02/2017 - 06:35

by Glen Ford, BAR

David Clarke, the sheriff of Milwaukee County who appears slated for a top post at the Department of Homeland Security, has made himself valuable to the White Man’s Party through ostentatious display of hatred and contempt for his fellow Blacks. Clarke is the go-to Negro for denunciations of Black Lives Matter (“Black Lies Matter,” in his words) as Islamic State sympathizers who should be “scooped” up, charged with treason and detained “indefinitely at Gitmo.” Clarke shares his repugnant political specialty with a debased cast of domestic and international characters, including presidents Yoweri Museveni and Salva Kiir, of Uganda and South Sudan, respectively, and Roy Innis, the late former leader of CORE, the Congress of Racial Equality.

All three of the living professional Black-hating-Negroes make themselves readily identifiable as eager allies of American-style white supremacy by wearing huge black cowboy hats. Yoweri Museveni, Ronald Reagan’s favorite African since seizing power in Uganda in 1986, turned his country’s army into a central African military appendage of U.S. imperialism. Under Washington’s direction, Museveni incorporated minority Tutsis from neighboring Rwanda into his armed forces, then supported their 1990 invasion of Rwanda, which led to mass tribal slaughter and the overthrow of the majority Hutu government, followed by the invasion and occupation of the Democratic Republic of Congo by Rwandan Tutsi forces under Paul Kagame, resulting in the death of more than six million Congolese, and still counting. (Kagame should also wear a cowboy hat, but prefers the military beret.) As mercenaries of U.S. Empire, both Museveni and Kagame contribute troops to virtually every western-funded “peace keeping” operation on the continent…

The Significance of the Kathy Griffin Head-chopper Photo

American Everyman - Wed, 05/31/2017 - 07:31

by Scott Creighton

UPDATE: CNN has fired her. 

Not being an expert in such matters I can only imagine that when you run an unconventional warfare campaign like the one being conducted against the current president of the United States by the Deep State, various mileposts signify the relative success or failure of the tactics you are employing to demonize said target. You evaluate these achievements as they occur in real time and structure the direction of the project accordingly.

That is my guess as to how the manipulators of psychological warfare campaigns operate. It is only a guess but one based on years of research into the outward projections of their craft.

Such a milepost was reached yesterday when Kathy Griffin, a former mediocre comedian turned reality TV star and perpetual host of various D-list network events, published this photo:

Needless too say, the image stirred up controversy which is exactly what Ms. Griffin wanted.

For those of you who don’t know, she won some award a couple years ago and took advantage of the network face-time to make disparaging comments about Jesus and religion knowing full well how offensive it would be, but being the eternal self-promoter and as vain-glorious as they come, Kathy understood bad press is better than no press. So she did it for the attention.

And let’s just make this clear as well: Kathy Griffin released this photo of her holding the severed head of the seated president for the same reason.

Unfortunately for Kathy, it was the wrong kind of attention and she’s already been fired from one company that used her in their advertising and I am sure more will follow. CNN is apparently thinking of terminating her contract with them for the New Year’s Eve coverage she does with the CIA’s guy, Anderson Cooper. She had several more years on that contract certainly worth hundreds of thousands of dollars per.

True to form, the tireless self-promoter Griffin has come out with a video apologizing profusely for the image saying she went “way” over the line.

Ms. Griffin should be made aware that nothing says vapid Mammon worshiper like someone making a bold, offensive political statement and then retracting it because it hits you in the wallet.

It’s hard too tell what’s more pathetic about Kathy’s little publicity stunt. Is it the fact that she’s such a follower that she thought this picture was appropriate or how quickly she buckled to save herself a few fucking dollars?

I guess in the end she saw her contracts drying up and realized she was about to become an ex-celebrity and that was just too much for her soulless psyche to take. I suppose saving the republic from the evils of President Cheeto is a secondary consideration to Ms. Griffin. Remaining famous at any cost obviously comes first.

Watching this worm trying to wiggle herself out of this PR stunt’s predictable backlash, though amusing, isn’t the real significance of this short-lived act of self-promoting “defiance”.

What is significant is the fact that she (and apparently her photographer and publicist?) thought it was a reasonable move in the first place.

We are something like 140 days into the Trump presidency and already the Deep State has convinced about half of the country it might be a good idea to lop off the head of the current ruler of these United States.

Not because he’s taking from the poor and giving to the rich. Kathy Griffin is rich. She will benefit tremendously when Trump’s tax plan kicks in. And her stock portfolio is certainly benefiting from the salad days Wall Street is currently enjoying because they know they have a ruthless, pragmatic neoliberal ideologue and his Goldman Sachs crew running things in the White House on their behalf.

No, Kathy isn’t standing up for the poor and downtrodden with this “off with their heads” image of hers. She’s certainly not promoting the idea of a new French Revolution…or Russian Revolution… or even American Revolution.

Nothing like that.

Because if that were the case… she wouldn’t apologize.

Instead she is simply reacting to the endless barrage of Deep State propaganda that has infected the corporate media across the board since Inauguration Day 2017.

Oh, well, sorry. My fault.

Since Election Day 2016 to be more specific.

Oh, wait, my bad.

Since candidate Trump won the Republican Party nomination and Queen Hillary stole her party’s nomination.

There, that’s better.

Right now, thanks to a YouGov poll we know that well over half of the Democrats in this country think da ebil Roooskies “hacked” the election results and that is why Queen Hillary is not our current beloved leader in spite of the fact that her coronation was per-ordained by the Gods of the Deep State, whom she serves willingly.

Now notice: that question isn’t about them thinking the Russians “influenced” the election. That question is about them thinking the Russians hacked into our systems and changed vote totals, something that there is absolutely zero evidence of. None. Zip. Zilch. Nothing.

Not only that, but aside from RT putting 3rd party candidates on their network so they could get some face-time during the campaign season, there is also no evidence of Russia “influencing” our elections either. None. Zip. Zilch. Nothing.

Fascinating isn’t it? With absolutely no evidence what-so-ever, over half of the people polled who self-identify with the Democratic Party believe a complete and utter fabrication… and of course the main stream media knows full well about this poll and about this erroneous belief held by so many Americans… and yet they do nothing to correct it.

That’s probably because the Mockingbird press helped create the misinformation in the first place… just like they did so many years ago:

“In late 2003, half a year after US and coalition forces invaded Iraq, a poll by USA Today found that 70 percent of Americans still believed that Saddam Hussein was responsible for 9/11. They didn’t believe this because the mass media was directly saying “Saddam did 9/11”; they would have lost the public’s trust if they’d directly promulgated such an outrageous falsehood. The public subscribed to this false belief because corporate media reporters consistently mentioned the September 11 terrorist attacks in the same breath as they mentioned the falsified intelligence reports stating that the Iraqi government had weapons of mass destruction and intended to facilitate their use on American soil. This misperception successfully manufactured public support for a regime change invasion that claimed the lives of a million innocent Iraqis.” Medium

As this quote shows us, propaganda has consequences. That’s why the Deep State invests so much of your money in it’s practice.

In the case of Iraq we have a war that is still raging in a country that did nothing to us and never posed the slightest threat to our way of life in the first place. Billions if not trillions in profits have been collected by various Military Industrial Complex aligned companies as well as by various others in the oil, banking and infrastructure rebuilding industries. In fact, all kinds of corporations have profited from the illegal invasion of Iraq and that was all due, not “in part”, but wholly due to the propaganda that linked Saddam Hussian to 9/11 and WMDs he didn’t have.

A million people died as a result and millions more were displaced, made into refugees who are currently being bartered and traded by global interests as cheap labor like the old slave trading posts of days gone by. All of that generating still more profits for those who move the Deep State to action.

Propaganda has consequences. Just ask that young disabled man in Chicago who was tortured by those 4 African American kids who had been fed a daily diet of “whitey all voted for racist Trump” propaganda. Ask that young man what he thinks of the corporate media’s constant barrage of “Ebil Trump” campaigns.

And now you can ask Kathy Griffin right along with him. Better yet, ask her accountant and agent. They’ll tell you.

If you aren’t willing to learn from history, from the mistakes of the past, you are damn sure condemned to repeat them. And that’s more than a cliche… it’s a fact.

In 1933 then president Franklin D. Roosevelt kicked off the start of the New Deal. He started with banking reform since the banksters had been the ones who collapsed the economy causing the Great Depression. In that reform package (the Banking Act of 1933 was a four part piece of legislation) was the Glass-Steagall Act or a modification of the Glass-Steagall Act of 1932. This was tremendously unpopular with the super wealthy elite, even more so than the creation of Social Security. They also instituted the Securities Act of 1933 which put regulations on securities for the first time. Very unpopular with the rabid Wall Street types.

Needless too say, the corporate press at the time did all they could to demonize Roosevelt, but he was still immensely popular with a good part of the population because it had gotten so bad with the elites just ripping off everything they could in the country prior to his election, the people demanded real change and he represented that for them.

Kind of like Trump fans feel right now actually.

In the end, the Deep State, as it was back then, got together and came up with a plan to hire Smedley Butler to run an army of former soldiers to overthrow President Roosevelt and take charge in a bloody coup on their behalf, setting up what would have been a fascist dictatorship. It was called the Business Plot of 1933 for a reason.

Butler, being a true patriot, declined their offer by going along with it for a time and then turning them in. The corporate press denies to this day it ever happened, but it did… and it could again.

All they need is the right atmosphere created where it would be viewed as a necessity rather than a corporate power grab.

And what do we see today? What is today’s milestone?

Propaganda has consequences. Just ask Moammar Gadhafi or Bashar al-Assad.

Or better yet, ask the people of Libya and Syria who’s once beautiful independent nations have been reduced to rubble by our needless, profit-driven corporate Deep State greed.

I am not here too say Donald Trump should be compared to the likes of Roosevelt or Gadhafi or Assad in any way, shape or form. In fact it’s a disservice to mention his name among theirs in any given sentence. They at least stood for something. He doesn’t.

But we can make at least one comparison, like it or not: Trump is the target of the Deep State at the moment, just like they once were

And as such we should be very careful who’s side we choose to take.

The Deep State is not your friend. They do not represent your best interests nor do share your concerns about the world and how this country is run.

The Deep State manufactures grief and they do so with a malice of purpose unlike anything the world has ever seen.

Nothing is “off the table”, nothing is “out of bounds”

When you internalize their propaganda to the point that Ms. Griffin has, anything is possible. That’s how the Wahhabist head-choppers from Saudi Arabia were made. That’s how death squads have been fabricated by Deep State professionals all across the world for decades.

We have a choice before us. Oppose the neoliberal elements of the current administration with civility and respect for the institutions that we have sworn allegiance to since our first days in kindergarten, or embrace the viler angels of our nature like so many “freedom fighters” have in service to the Deep State.

That is where we are and that is the significance of this moment.

We have a choice to make, neither of them good. But it has to be made right now, right here.

Say you are being forced to chose between the lesser of two evils if it makes it any easier. Say you are simply being a responsible adult if you want.

Say whatever you have to but the bottom line is, to quote the Decider of all people, “You are either with us, or with the enemy”… the terrorists.

Unfortunately, we find ourselves at this dire milepost and as such, we must choose a path. Though painful, I suggest we choose wisely.

I for one want no part of the Business Plot of 2017 and I think deep down, you don’t either.

Syrian government had no role in Idlib chemical attack: Putin

American Everyman - Tue, 05/30/2017 - 14:38

from Press TV

Russian President Vladimir Putin has expressed confidence that the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s forces had no role in the April chemical attack in Idlib Province, describing the incident as the West’s pretext to continue its pressure against Damascus.

“According to our information, there is no proof that chemical weapons were used by Assad. We are convinced that he did not do it,” Putin said in a Tuesday interview with the French newspaper Le Figaro.

The allegation was a way of “explaining to the international community why it was necessary to continue to impose measures to pressure Assad, including militarily,” Putin added.

The remarks came a day after new French President Emmanuel Macron, whose country blames Assad for the attack, slammed the use of chemical weapons in Syria as a red line for Paris which would result in reprisals…
