Words enable thought. So if you corrupt words, you can alter and
corrupt people’s thoughts. Words are the parents of thought. And thought is the
father to action. There’s a reason the Bible speaks of “the word” with such
respect.
If you don’t have a word for something, it makes it hard to think about
it. And it’s worse if you have the wrong word. They’re trying to corrupt the
language to limit what people think and do. ~ Doug Casey
How did America get to be over $43 trillion dollars in debt
to the Federal Reserve Bank? Well, one
reason is that we are funding two separate governments. There is the Main Government, the one that controls
the Treasury, Homeland Security, National Security and Foreign and Domestic
Policy and life and death decisions like war.
Then there is the “elected” government who do nothing but divert
attention from the Main Government through constant appearances on the ultimate
reality show hosted on TV.
The deeply entrenched, unpunished and unaccountable
criminals who compose the Main Government are actually traitors to America
dragging the US into unending wars to benefit foreign nations and destroy the American
way of life. The ugly dark recesses of
the Swamp have birthed the most vile, disgusting, putrid forms of deathlike-life
imaginable. These Swamp denizens
converged with the Bush’s CIA Crime Family that is now on a global rampage.
The gauntlet was cast September 11, 2001 with the false flag
attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, followed by a false flag weapons-grade
anthrax attack on congressional Democrats.
These false flag attacks opened the door for an all-out attack on the
American Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Hence forth, torture, rendition and preemptive wars using banned
chemical weapons, mass spying on American citizens were foisted upon the
American people.
No vile, illegal, Dark Ages form of human torture and
debasement was off the table. A new day
had dawned. The permanent state of the
“elected government” is obfuscation and necrosis. Powers of the purse and all
powers that are derived therein had been ceded to the “Main Government” to be
meted out to the various Think Tanks who craft ALL American policy on behalf of
foreign interests.
The takeover of the American government goes way back to
Christmas Eve 1913, with the illegal formation of the Federal Reserve Bank
under President Woodrow Wilson. America
has been at war and in debt to the Central Bank ever since. According to History.com:
Excerpt:
The CIA, or Central Intelligence
Agency, is the U.S. government agency tasked primarily with gathering
intelligence and international security information from foreign countries. The controversial spy agency’s history
dates back to World War II, and it played a key role in U.S. efforts to
combat the Axis powers during that conflict, and in the Cold War that followed.
Though shrouded in secrecy, some CIA
activities—such as covert military and cybersecurity operations—have drawn
public scrutiny and criticism…
But our government’s first large-scale institutional foray into spycraft
started during World War II, after the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor on
December 7, 1941. Declassified government documents suggest that our
military should have been better prepared for the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Indeed, Naval Intelligence—an
espionage division of the U.S. Navy—had reportedly cracked Japanese military
and diplomatic codes, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had
observed Japanese diplomats stationed in Hawaii engaged in suspicious
activities in the weeks leading up to the attack.
However, WHAT WAS SORELY LACKING
WAS A CENTRALIZED AGENCY WITHIN THE GOVERNMENT THAT COULD SORT THROUGH
INFORMATION GATHERED FROM SPIES working on behalf of the country, analyze it
and report it to relevant officials.
With that in mind, President Franklin D. Roosevelt established
the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the forerunner to today’s CIA, and
appointed New York lawyer and World War I hero General William J. Donovan to
head the fledgling agency. The original mandate of the OSS was to collect
and analyze “strategic information” for use in war.
Hmm, isn’t that odd?
The CIA was established after “Naval Intelligence—an espionage division
of the U.S. Navy—had reportedly cracked Japanese military and diplomatic codes,
and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had observed Japanese diplomats
stationed in Hawaii engaged in suspicious activities in the weeks leading up to
the attack” but that information failed to reach the President.
Just like 9-11 the FBI and foreign intelligence as well as
interpreters were screaming “something is” coming, RED ALERT and they were
ignored by the Bush Administration.
After Pearl Harbor the intelligence agency (OSS) found that “WHAT WAS
SORELY LACKING WAS A CENTRALIZED AGENCY WITHIN THE GOVERNMENT THAT COULD SORT
THROUGH INFORMATION GATHERED FROM SPIES working on behalf of the country,
analyze it and report it to relevant officials.
After 9-11 the same findings led to the creation of the
Orwellian “Department of Homeland Security” to gather the intelligence from all
the other agencies and “report it to relevant” officials. Those “relevant” officials being the Deep
State. President Roosevelt was believed
to be assassinated by the OSS. From
Criminal Element:
Excerpt:
In April 1945, the end of World War II was finally in sight.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, recently elected to an unprecedented fourth term as
president, was at his Warm Springs, Georgia, retreat, sitting for a
painting. He reminded the artist that she only had 15 more minutes to work, then
complained of a sudden, blinding headache, lost consciousness, and died…
The suspects are fascinating as
well. Bill Hanson, in his book Closely Guarded Secrets, lays blame on the
Nazis. Colonel Prouty says that Stalin
advised presidential son Elliott Roosevelt that the “Churchill gang” had his
father murdered, because they were afraid FDR’s postwar plans would destroy
British influence around the globe.
This was accomplished by a program of poisoning begun at the famous
Yalta Conference and perhaps continued at Warm Springs. Emanuel Josephson,
author of The Strange Death of Franklin D. Roosevelt, points out that one of
Roosevelt’s closest aides, General Edwin Watson, became suddenly ill and died
on the return from Yalta, the implication being that he had been poisoned
as well.
FDR had just been re-elected for his fourth term and his new
Vice President, Truman was chosen by the Democratic Party. After FDR’s death, President Truman then
abolished the OSS and created the CIA. By
the 1960’s the CIA had become an extremely powerful, unaccountable force. From Geopolitics:
Excerpt:
The CIA Takeover of America in the 1960s is the Story of Our Times
“We’re all puppets,” the
suspect [Sirhan Sirhan] replied, with more truth than he could have understood
at that moment.” – Lisa Pease, quoting from the LAPD questioning of Sirhan
When Senator Robert Kennedy was assassinated on June 5, 1968, the
American public fell into an hypnotic trance in which they have remained ever
since. The overwhelming majority accepted what was presented by government
authorities as an open and shut case that a young Palestinian American, Sirhan
Sirhan, had murdered RFK because of his support for Israel, a false accusation
whose ramifications echo down the years. That this was patently untrue and
was contradicted by overwhelming evidence made no difference.
Sirhan did not kill Robert Kennedy, yet he remains in jail to this very
day. Robert Kennedy, Jr., who was 14
years old at the time of his father’s death, has visited Sirhan in prison,
claims he is innocent, and believes there was another gunman. Paul Schrade, an aide to the senator and the
first person shot that night, also says Sirhan didn’t do it. Both have plenty of evidence. And they are not alone.
There is a vast body of documented
evidence to prove this, an indisputably logical case marshaled by serious
writers and researchers. Lisa Pease is the latest. It is a reason why a group of 60 prominent
Americans has recently called for a reopening of, not just this case, but those
of JFK, MLK, and Malcom X. The blood of these men cries out for the
revelation of the truth that the United States national security state and its
media accomplices have fought so mightily to keep hidden for so many years.
That they have worked so hard at
this reveals how dangerous the truth about these assassinations still is to
this secret government that wages propaganda war against the American people
and real wars around the world.
It is a government of
Democrats, Republicans, and their intelligence allies working together today to
confuse the American people and provoke Russia in a most dangerous game that
could lead to nuclear war, a possibility that so frightened JFK and RFK
after the Cuban Missile Crisis that they devoted themselves to ending the Cold
War, reconciling with the Soviet Union, abolishing nuclear weapons, reining in
of the power of the CIA, and withdrawing from Vietnam. THAT
IS WHY THEY WERE KILLED.
The web of deceit surrounding the
now officially debunked Democratic led Russia-gate propaganda operation that
has strengthened Trump to double-down on his anti-Russia operations (a
Democratic goal) is an example of
the perfidious and sophisticated mutuality of this game of mass mind-control.
The killing of the Kennedys and today’s new Cold War and war against
terror are two ends of a linked intelligence operation. Moreover, more than any other
assassination of the 1960s, it is the
killing of Bobby Kennedy that has remained shrouded in the most ignorance. It is one of the greatest propaganda
success stories of American history…
The assassination of the top four leaders of the political left in the
five year period – President John Kennedy in 1963, Malcolm X in 1965, and
Martin Luther King, Jr. and Senator Robert Kennedy in 1968 – represented nothing less than a slow-motion
coup on the political scene.
If anyone wishes to understand
what has happened to the United States since this coup, and thus to its
countless victims at home and throughout the world, one must understand these
assassinations and how the alleged assassins were manipulated by the coup organizers and how the public was
hoodwinked in a mind-control operation on a vast scale.
It is not ancient history, for the forces that killed these leaders
rule the U.S. today, and their ruthlessness has subsequently informed the
actions of almost all political leaders in the years since. A bullet to the head when you seriously talk
about peace and justice is a not so gentle reminder to toe the line or else.
“But the way the CIA took over
America in the 1960s is the story of our time,” writes Pease, “and too few
recognize this. We can’t fix a problem we can’t even acknowledge exists.”
So the “killing of the Kennedys and today’s new Cold War and
war against terror are two ends of a linked intelligence operation.” This intelligence “operation” or more aptly
CIA takeover of our government has been waging covert wars since their
inception. From Wayne Madsen at LewRockwell:
Excerpt:
Sen. John Tower Murder Conspiracy: How Poppy Bush, Brent Sowcroft &
John Brennan fit in
Although they were both Republican politicians from Texas, Senator John
Tower and President George H. W. Bush became bitter rivals. Documents
discovered in the Central Intelligence Agency’s archives point to Bush and his
allies within the CIA being upset with Tower over his findings as the chairman
of the Tower Commission, named to investigate the culprits behind the
Iran-contra scandal. The information
gleaned by Tower may have also resulted in his and his daughter’s 1991 death in
an airplane crash in Georgia.
In November 1986, President Reagan named Tower, who had
declined to run for re-election in 1986, to chair the “President’s Special
Review Board” on the actions of
the National Security Council and its staff during the Iran-contra affair. The
Tower Commission, as it was known, discovered, as did Special Prosecutor
Lawrence Walsh, that Vice President George Bush was a central
figure in the scandal.
Bush ensured he had his own plant installed on the Tower Commission,
former National Security Adviser Brent Scowcroft, who would hold
the same office in the George H. W. Bush presidency. The third
commission member was former Secretary of State Edmund Muskie.
In 1989, Bush nominated Tower to be
his Secretary of Defense. However, the Senate rejected their former colleague
in a 47-53 vote. The last Senate rejection of a Cabinet nominee was in 1959. It
later became known that it was Bush,
who, via articles and statements by the vitriolic conservative rabble
rouser Paul Weyrich, leaked rumors of Tower’s “womanizing” and problems with
alcohol in order to publicly humiliate Tower.
The bad press resulted in Tower’s
embarrassing rejection by the Senate. In other words, Bush set Tower up for a very
public fall. It was retaliation
for Tower’s probing of Bush’s central involvement in Iran-contra. And
Tower’s rejection opened the door for Dick Cheney to become Secretary of
Defense.
On April 5, 1991, Tower and his
daughter Marian, along with 21 others, died in the crash of Atlantic Southeast
Airlines flight 2311 while it approached the Brunswick, Georgia airport. The crash was blamed on aircraft
equipment failure. Tower and his
daughter, who had just cooperated in the publishing of Tower’s memoir, were
collaborating on a second “tell-all” book about Iran-contra that was reportedly
going to “name names” and Bush’s name would have been prominently
mentioned.
Any further investigations of Bush and Iran-contra went down in
flames on April 5, 1991 with Atlantic Southeast 2311 [left] and the
plane that crashed the day before in Lower Merion Township, Pennsylvania
[right].
CIA archival documents show that Tower cited as one of the major
Iran-contra co-conspirators in the Tower Report, Graham Fuller, who was CIA
director William Casey’s top advisers and a friend of Tower Commission member
Scowcroft. Fuller was a major architect of the CIA’s training and
arming Islamic jihadists to not only fight the Soviets in Afghanistan but in
the USSR itself, especially in central Asia and the Caucasus, the latter called
the “Second Afghanistan.”
It was this policy of encouraging Islamist radicalization that
ultimately led to the creation of Al Qaeda and the Islamic State. Fuller’s
daughter was married to Ruslan Tsarnaev, the uncle of accused Boston Marathon
bombers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. As previously reported by WMR,
Fuller, throughout the 1980s,
Fuller was front and center during
many of the acts of violence in the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia, from Lebanon and Syria to Iran, Libya,
and Algeria, as well as Iraq, Afghanistan, and South Yemen. Among
Fuller’s fellow CIA provocateurs trying to stir up Muslims against the Russians
was John Brennan, the current CIA director who continues the policy
with CIA support of jihadist groups in Syria.
As a result of the Tower report,
one of the first heads to roll at the CIA was Fuller, who resigned after the
report’s release in 1987. Bush and his
sycophants at the CIA were livid over not only what Tower released in
the report but also what he failed to include but knew about: that Bush was the central kingpin in the
arms-for-hostages deal with Iran and the use of the profits to aid the contras.
Bush swore out a vendetta
against Tower, one that would culminate with a fiery plane crash in Georgia in
1991. Bush tried to escape blame by prodding a dementia-afflicted
Reagan to fire White House chief of staff Donald Regan. Bush saw to it that Regan was blamed for the Iran-contra debacle.
However, unlike Tower and his daughter, Regan did escape Bush’s wrath with
his life.
Not so lucky was Pennsylvania Senator John Heinz III, a member of
the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence that investigated Iran-contra and one of Tower’s supporters in the
confirmation vote for Secretary of Defense. On April 4, 1991, the day before
Tower died in the plane crash in Georgia, Heinz
was killed in a freakish mid-air crash of his plane with a helicopter outside
of Philadelphia.
When criminals go unpunished they become emboldened much
like mass murderers. Each kill just
whets the appetite for more. So what
happened to the above mentioned criminal cabal?
Did they hang their heads in shame for the “many of the acts of violence
in the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia, from Lebanon and Syria to Iran, Libya, and Algeria, as well as
Iraq, Afghanistan, and South Yemen?”
No, many went on to serve in the George W. Bush
Administration where they continued to cover up their mass murder rampages
across North Africa, South Asia and the Middle East as well as Latin America. Many like John Brennan also served in the
Barack Obama Administration. Like the
great philosopher Yogi Berra said it’s like "Déjà vu all over again."
The American government was overthrown on December 12, 2000
when five of the most corrupt members of the U.S. Supreme Court in our history,
overruled the American people and installed George W. Bush as President of the
United States. Hundreds of millions of voters
were disenfranchised to accommodate the CIA cover-up of the crimes committed during
the Reagan/Bush years. The Reagan
Presidential Papers were due to be released in 2000 and the CIA criminal cabal
couldn’t allow that to happen. From NewYork Times:
Excerpt:
Bush Keeps a Grip on Presidential Papers
President Bush signed an
executive order today to allow a sitting president to keep secret the papers of
a previous president, even if a previous president wants his papers made
public.
Administration officials said the order would provide an ''orderly
process'' to help archivists handle requests for presidential papers. Ari
Fleischer, the White House press secretary, said today that ''more information
will be forthcoming'' because of the order.
Some historians and public interest lawyers disagreed.
''Those claims are absurd,'' said Hugh Davis Graham, a presidential
historian at Vanderbilt University who has seen the order. Mr. Graham said he
viewed the executive order as the latest
effort by the Bush White House to clamp down on the flow of information to the
public.
The five-page executive order,
drafted by the White House counsel Alberto R. Gonzales, would give either an incumbent
president or a former president the right to withhold the former president's
papers from the public.
''We thought it would be more appropriate to really give the primary
responsibility regarding presidential records to THE FORMER PRESIDENT WHOSE
RECORDS THEY BELONG TO,'' Mr. Gonzales said in a briefing for reporters,
''and to have the incumbent president sort of be the backstop in making
decisions about whether or not those documents should in fact be released.''
At issue are 68,000 pages of records from the Reagan administration, which
by law were due to be made public in January of this year. But
the current White House blocked the release of those documents, which contain confidential communications
between President Reagan and his advisers, including Mr. Bush's father, George
Bush, who was Mr. Reagan's vice president…
Historians say the documents most
likely include memorandums of policy decisions, briefing papers and
correspondence among White House advisers. Until 1977, American presidents controlled the
release of their own papers. But after
Watergate and President Richard M. Nixon's attempt to retain his records and
tape recordings, Congress passed the 1978 Presidential Records Act, which
called for the release of presidential papers 12 years after an administration.
That law took effect in 1981. The
Reagan documents would be the first presidential papers released under the act. The White House delayed that release three
times, saying it needed time to review the papers. Mr.
Graham, the presidential historian, said the current administration was also
concerned about protecting its own secrets during the war with Afghanistan.
The media and the whistleblowers who trust them with their
lives have always been enemies of the Deep State for shedding light on the
heinous acts committed by those in the employ of the CIA. While Julian Assange and Chelsey Manning are
locked up in Guantanamo-like conditions, they have no idea of what lies ahead
for them. They do know what happened to
those who came before them. From SputnikNews:
Excerpt:
5 Whistleblowers Who Died Mysteriously
In the wake of the death on
Wednesday of Iraq War veteran and computer security expert James Dolan, Sputnik
decided to recall other whistleblowers that have passed away under rather vague
circumstances.
1. James Dolan was a co-creator of the whistleblower submission
system SecureDrop along with Aaron Swartz, who killed himself in 2013 following prosecution for an alleged
criminal hacking incident. 36-year-old Dolan, who reportedly also took his
own life, joined the Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) after Swartz’s
death. The circumstances of Dolan’s death are yet unknown, however the FPF
reported that he had been suffering from PTSD since the Iraq War.
2. Serena Shim, a promising journalist working for Iran’s Press TV
media outlet, was killed in a “suspicious” car crash in Turkey just days after
she gathered information on Turkish support for Daesh (ISIS), claiming they
were helping the terrorists commit heinous crimes. In 2014, Shim reported that
she received explicit threats from Turkish intelligence services, and died a
few days after confessing on camera that she was afraid of being arrested for
“espionage.” Press TV has refused to
consider her death an accident.
3. Michael Ruppert, former Los Angeles police officer, went public
as a whistleblower when he exposed corruption within the police department and
the CIA. He was found dead in 2014, reportedly dying from a gunshot wound,
and was deemed a suicide. While he left a recorded suicide message, saying that
he took his life so that the CIA couldn’t murder him, some still believe that
he was actually killed.
4. In 2017, the German news
journalist Dr. Udo Ulfkotte was found dead, ten months after he exposed
collusion between the CIA and German Intelligence. Ulfkotte alleged that the
intelligence agencies bribe journalists into writing pro-NATO articles. In
his book, entitled “Bought Journalists,” Ulfkotte reveals the details
of the US and NATO propaganda machine, claiming that those who refused to work
for them could consider their careers ruined.
He said most media journalists in the US and Europe were “so-called
non-official cover,” implying that they worked for an intelligence agency.
Among the fake news stories Ulfkotte claims the CIA ordered him to publish
was one claiming that the late Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi was building
poison gas factories in 2011. The
56-year-old journalist reportedly died of heart failure, however many believe
that his bestselling book cost him his life.
5. David Kelly worked for the British Ministry of Defense as a
biological weapons expert back in 2003, when the Iraq war started under a
pretext that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction. When Kelly reported that no WMDs were found in
Iraq, he was labeled a traitor by his colleagues, as well as by major
politicians.
Later in 2003, he was found dead with the initial report saying
that he had overdosed on painkillers and cut his wrist. While some believe that
he would not commit suicide, the government rejected any calls for an
inquest into Kelly’s death.
There was a time when there were honorable men in our
government like Senator John Tower and Senator John Heinz III, when the Senate
Select Committee on Intelligence performed oversight. That is no longer the case as our “elected
government” is useless. Those in
government have enriched themselves on the status quo and will provide no safe
harbor for the whistleblowers and journalists who endanger that. From Ray McGovern:

Requiem for the Fourth Estate
It is a very sad day for the rule
of law.
Yesterday's broad-daylight
manhandling and kidnapping of Julian Assange from political asylum in the
Ecuadorian embassy in London demonstrates in bas-relief that in today's Anglo-America,
the Magna Carta and the Bill of Rights
are now "quaint and obsolete," to use the words of pseudo-lawyer,
Alberto Gonzales.
White House attorney Gonzales was referring in January 2002 to other
basic principles of international law, the Geneva Conventions, from which
he decided he could grant Bush an exemption so he could authorize torture, which he did on February 7, 2002. (We
have that memo.)
This no secret; we also have the
Gonzales's memo to Bush. For services performed, Gonzales was nominated and
confirmed as Attorney General, the chief U.S. law enforcer.
When WikiLeaks revealed U.S. war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan, the
Sam Adams Associates for Integrity chose Julian Assange for its annual
integrity award. The award's "Oscar," a corner-brightener
candlestick holder for shining light into dark places, was presented to Mr.
Assange by UK Ambassador Craig Murray and Daniel Ellsberg after a major press
conference in London on October 23, 2010. Julian Assange became the eighth
in what has become an distinguished line of 16 truth-tellers awardees of the
Sam Adams Associates.
It seems altogether fitting and
proper that this year's award be presented in London, where Edmund Burke coined
the expression "Fourth Estate." Comparing the function of the press
to that of the three Houses then in Parliament, Burke said: "...but in the
Reporters Gallery yonder, there sits a Fourth Estate more important far then
they all."
The year was 1787 -- the year the U.S. Constitution was adopted. The First Amendment, approved four years later, aimed at ensuring
that the press would be free of government interference. That was then.
With the Fourth Estate now on life
support, there is a high premium on the
fledgling Fifth Estate, which uses the ether and is not susceptible of
government or corporation control. Small wonder that governments with lots
to hide feel very threatened. It has
been said: "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you
free." WikiLeaks is helping make that possible by publishing documents
that do not lie…
We do not know if Pvt. Bradley Manning gave WikiLeaks the gun-barrel
video of July 12, 2007 called "Collateral Murder." Whoever did
provide that graphic footage, showing the brutality of the celebrated
"surge" in Iraq, was certainly far more a patriot than the
"mainstream" journalist embedded in that same Army unit. He
suppressed what happened in Baghdad that day, dismissed it as simply "one
bad day in a surge that was filled with such days," and then had the
temerity to lavish praise on the unit in a book he called "The Good
Soldiers."
Julian is right to emphasize that the world is deeply indebted to
patriotic truth-tellers like the sources who provided the gun-barrel
footage and the many documents on Afghanistan and Iraq to WikiLeaks. We hope to
have a chance to honor them in person in the future.
Today we honor WikiLeaks, and one
of its leaders, Julian Assange, for
their ingenuity in creating a new highway by which important documentary
evidence can make its way, quickly and confidentially, through the ether and
into our in-boxes. Long live the Fifth
Estate!
The same criminal cabal that was complicit in the formation
of the CIA run Deep State is now in charge of American foreign policy. Trump’s entire National Security Team is
under the control of the CIA. They are a
danger to America and a danger to the world.
After Pearl Harbor and after 9-11 we were told “what was
sorely lacking was a centralized agency within the government that could sort
through information gathered from spies working on behalf of the country,
analyze it and report it to relevant officials.” So how’s that working? From Lew Rockwell:
Excerpt:
CIA Director Used Fake Skripal Incident Photos To Manipulate Trump
An ass kissing portrait of Gina Haspel, torture queen and director of
the CIA, reveals that she lied to Trump to push for more aggression against
Russia.
In March 2018 the British
government asserted, without providing any evidence, that the alleged
‘Novichok’ poisoning of Sergej and Yulia Skripal was the fault of Russia. It
urged its allies to expel Russian officials from their countries. The
U.S. alone expelled 60 Russian officials. Trump was furious when he learned
that EU countries expelled less than 60 in total. A year ago the Washington
Post described the scene:
President Trump seemed distracted
in March as his aides briefed him at his
Mar-a-Lago resort on the administration’s plan to expel 60 Russian diplomats
and suspected spies. The United
States, they explained, would be ousting roughly the same number of Russians as
its European allies — part of a coordinated move to punish Moscow for the
poisoning of a former Russian spy and his daughter on British soil.
“We’ll match their numbers,” Trump
instructed, according to a senior administration official. “We’re not taking the lead. We’re matching.” The next day, when the expulsions were
announced publicly, Trump erupted, officials said. To his shock and dismay,
France and Germany were each expelling only four Russian officials — far fewer
than the 60 his administration had decided on.
The president, who seemed to
believe that other individual countries would largely equal the United States, was furious that his administration was
being portrayed in the media as taking by far the toughest stance on Russia. The expulsion marked a turn in the
Trump administration’s relation with Russia:
The incident reflects a tension at
the core of the Trump administration’s increasingly hard-nosed stance on
Russia: The president instinctually
opposes many of the punitive measures pushed by his Cabinet that have crippled
his ability to forge a close relationship with Russian President Vladimir
Putin…
Today the New York Times portraits
Gina Haspel’s relation with Trump. The writers seem sympathetic to her and the
CIA’s position. They include an anecdote of the Skripal expulsion decision that
is supposed to let her shine in a good light. But it only proves that the CIA manipulated the president for its own
purpose:
Last March, top national security
officials gathered inside the White House to discuss with Mr. Trump how to
respond to the nerve agent attack in Britain on Sergei V. Skripal, the former
Russian intelligence agent. London was
pushing for the White House to expel dozens of suspected Russian operatives,
but Mr. Trump was skeptical…
Ms. Haspel showed pictures the British government had supplied her of
young children hospitalized after being sickened by the Novichok nerve
agent that poisoned the Skripals. She then showed a photograph of ducks
that British officials said were inadvertently killed by the sloppy work of the
Russian operatives.
Ms Haspel was not the first to use
emotional images to appeal to the president, but pairing it with her hard-nosed
realism proved effective: Mr. Trump
fixated on the pictures of the sickened children and the dead ducks. At the
end of the briefing, he embraced the strong option…
There were no reports of any
children affected by ‘Novichok’ nor were their any reports of dead ducks. In
the official storyline the
Skripals, before visiting a restaurant, fed bread to ducks at a pond in the
Queen Elizabeth Gardens in Salisbury. They also gave duck-bread to three
children to do the same.
The children were examined and their blood was tested. No poison was
found and none of them fell ill. No duck died. (The duck feeding episode
also disproves the claim that the Skripals were poisoned by touching a door
handle.)
If the NYT piece is correct, the CIA director, in cooperation with the
British government, lied to Trump about the incident. Their aim was to
sabotage Trump’s announced policy of better relations with Russia. THE RUSE WORKED.
The NYT piece does not mention that the pictures Gina Haspel showed
Trump were fake. It pretends that her lies were “new information” and that
she was not out to manipulate him…
The outcome was an example,
officials said, of how Ms. Haspel is one of the few people who can get Mr.
Trump to shift position based on new information. Co-workers and friends of Ms.
Haspel push back on any notion that she is manipulating the president. She is instead trying to get him to
listen and to protect the agency, according to former intelligence
officials who know her.
The job of the CIA director is to serve the president, not to protect
the agencies own policies. Hopefully Trump will hear about the anecdote, recognize
how he was had, and fire Haspel. He should not stop there but also get rid of
her protector who likely had a role in the game:
Ms. Haspel won the trust of Mr. Pompeo, however, and has stayed loyal
to him. As a result, Mr. Trump sees Ms. Haspel as an extension of Mr.
Pompeo, a view that has helped protect her, current and former intelligence
officials said.
Where was the media outrage?
The CIA controlled media continue to cover for the unindicted war
criminals infesting our government. The
latest comedic horror show has been the thus-far failed coup in Venezuela. It seems the “Troika of Tyranny”, that is
Pence/Bolton/Pompeo has set its sights on Latin America. Lots of unfinished CIA business there.
But it seems that Russia and China have formed strong
relationships and trade agreements there and aren’t willing to allow America to
overthrow elected governments in order to steal their resources. Mike Pompeo made the usual ass of himself in
Chile. From RT:
Excerpt:
‘Pompeo lost his mind’: Chinese diplomat hits back at US attacks on
Beijing’s investments in Chile
The Chinese ambassador to Santiago called US Secretary of State Mike
Pompeo “a hypocrite” after he tried to dissuade the South American nation
from dealing with Beijing, as the US and China remain locked in a trade war. “Pompeo has lost his mind and gone too far,”
Beijing’s envoy to Chile, Xu Bu, said, slamming the attacks against Chinese
economic activities in the region as “malicious” and “absurd.”
Mike Pompeo earlier called Chinese investment projects in the South
America “debt deal traps” during a visit to Santiago. Beijing “often
injects corrosive capital into the economic bloodstream, giving life to
corruption, and eroding good governance,” he said.
Firing back, Ambassador Xu said that economic ties between Chile and
China “brought tangible benefits to the development of the Chilean economy,”
and the cooperation remains mutually beneficial. He pointed out that Chile’s
trade with Beijing exceeded US$42.8 billion, which is nearly twice the size of
the trade it has with Washington (US$24 billion).
“Mr. Pompeo is a hypocrite,” he said, adding that it is the US that “has
not made substantial contributions” to the economy of South American states. Historically, the United States has
treated Latin America as its ‘backyard,’ imposing frequent military
interventions or sanctions.
The US and China have been locked
in a trade war since President Donald Trump slapped import tariffs on Chinese
goods. In retaliation, Beijing did the same with a number of US-made products.
Relations between the two nations were further strained as senior US
officials accused Beijing of potentially using telecom giant Huawei to spy
on Western states and ordinary citizens. Mike Pompeo has attempted to
discourage American allies in Europe from using Huawei equipment, warning that
reliance on Chinese technology will hamper their cooperation with Washington.
The company denied the allegations.
Meanwhile, Belgium’s Center for
Cybersecurity investigated Huawei and found no evidence that its
equipment presents “a spying threat.”
Sheesh, who you gonna believe, Belgium’s “Center for
Cybersecurity” or Mike Pompeo? For a
businessman like Trump, he must cringe when he’s sees the Chinese Diplomat,
slamming America’s top Diplomat’s attacks against the Chinese as “malicious”
and “absurd.” How embarrassing.
Trump has a good relationship with China’s President Xi,
what’s he to say? “I stand with the
Secretary of State 100%?” China isn’t the only country to give a blunt
assessment of the Trump National Security team.

Excerpt:
Putin Now Thinks Western Elites Are 'Swine'
An article I published close to
five years ago, “Putin to Western elites: Play-time is over”, turned out to be
the most popular thing I’ve written so far, having garnered over 200,000 reads
over the intervening years. In it I wrote about Putin’s speech at the 2014
Valdai Club conference. In that speech
he defined the new rules by which Russia conducts its foreign policy: out in
the open, in full public view, as a sovereign nation among other sovereign
nations, asserting its national interests and demanding to be treated as an
equal. Yet again, Western elites failed to listen to him.
Instead of mutually beneficial
cooperation they continued to speak the language of empty accusations and
counterproductive yet toothless sanctions. And so, in yesterday’s address
to Russia’s National Assembly Putin sounded note of complete and utter disdain
and contempt for his “Western partners,” as he has usually called them. This time he called them “swine.”
The president’s annual address to
the National Assembly is a rather big deal. Russia’s National Assembly is quite unlike that of, say, Venezuela,
which really just consists of some obscure nonentity named Juan recording
Youtube videos in his apartment.
In Russia, the gathering is a
who’s-who of Russian politics, including cabinet ministers, Kremlin staffers,
the parliament (State Duma), regional governors, business leaders and political
experts, along with a huge crowd of
journalists. One thing that stood out at this year’s address was the
very high level of tension in the hall: the atmosphere seemed charged with
electricity.
It quickly became obvious why the
upper echelon of Russia’s state bureaucracy was nervous: Putin’s speech was part marching orders part harangue. His plans for
the next couple of years are extremely ambitious, as he himself admitted.
The plank is set very high, he said, and those who are not up to the challenge
have no business going near it.
Very hard work lies ahead for
almost everyone who was gathered in that hall, and those of them who fail at their tasks are unlikely to be in attendance
the next time around because their careers will have ended in disgrace.
The address contained almost no bad news and quite a lot of very
good news. Russia’s financial
reserves are more than sufficient to cover its entire external debt, both
public and private. Non-energy-resource
exports are booming to such an extent that Russia no longer needs oil
and gas exports to maintain a positive balance of trade. It has become largely immune to Western
sanctions. Eurasian integration projects are going extremely well. Russian
government’s investments in industry are paying dividends.
The government has amassed vast amounts of capital which it will now
spend on domestic programs designed to benefit the people, to help Russians
live longer, healthier lives and have more children. “More children—lower
taxes” was one of the catchier slogans.
This was what most of the address
was about: eradication of remaining
poverty; low, subsidized mortgage rates for families with two or more children;
pensions indexed to inflation above and beyond the official minimal income
levels (corrected and paid out retroactively); high-speed internet for each
and every school; universal access to health care through a network of rural
clinics; several new world-class oncology clinics; support for tech
start-ups; a “social contract” program that helps people start small
businesses; another program called
“ticket to the future” that allows sixth-graders to choose a career path that
includes directed study programs, mentorships and apprenticeships; lots of new
infrastructure projects such as the soon-to-be-opened Autobahn between
Moscow and St. Petersburg, revamped
trash collection and recycling and major air pollution reductions in a dozen
major cities; the list goes on and on…
Perhaps the most ambitious goal set
by Putin was to redo the entire system of Russia’s government regulations, both
federal and regional, in every sphere of public life and commerce. Over the next two years every bit of
regulation will be examined in order to determine whether it is necessary and
whether it responds to contemporary needs and if it isn’t or doesn’t it will be
eliminated.
This will significantly ease the
burden of regulatory compliance, lowering the cost of doing business. Another
goal was to continue growing the already booming agricultural export sector. Last year Russia achieved self-sufficiency
in wheat seed stock, but the overall goal is to achieve complete
self-sufficiency in food and to become
the world’s provider of ecologically clean foodstuffs.
(As Putin pointed out, Russia
remains the only major agricultural producer in the world that hasn’t been
contaminated by American-made GMO poisons.) Yet another goal is to
further grow Russia’s tourism industry, which is already booming, by
introducing electronic tourist visas that will be much easier to obtain.
Last year’s addressed surprised the
world with its second part, in which Putin
unveiled a whole set of new Russian weapons systems that effectively negate
every last bit of US military superiority. This year, he added just one new
system: a supersonic cruise missile called “Zirkon” with a 1000 km range that
flies at Mach 9.
He spoke in favor of normalized relations with the EU, but accused the
US of “hostility,” adding that Russia does not threaten anyone and is not
interested in confrontation.
Putin’s sharpest words were
reserved for the US decision to abandon the IMF treaty. He said that the US acted in bad faith, accusing Russia
of violating the treaty while they themselves violated it, specifically
articles 5 and 6, by deploying dual-use launch systems in Romania and Poland
which can be used for both air defense and for offensive nuclear weapons which
the treaty specifically prohibits.
Nuclear-tipped Tomahawk cruise
missiles, which the US could deploy in Poland and Romania, would of course pose a risk, but
would not provide the US with anything like a first-strike advantage, since
these cruise missiles are obsolete to the point where even Syria’s Soviet-era
air defenses were able to shoot down most of the ones the US lobbed at
them as punishment for the fake chemical weapons attack in Douma.
Speaking of the American dream of a
global air defense system, Putin called
on the US to “abandon these illusions.” The Americans can think whatever they
want, he said, but the question is, “can they do math?” This needs
unfolding…
In this case, if Americans could
“do math,” they would quickly figure out that there is no conceivable defensive system that would be effective
against the new Russian weapons, that there are no conceivable
offensive weapons that would prevent Russia from launching an unstoppable
retaliatory strike, and that therefore
the “new arms race” (which some Americans have been daft enough to announce) is
effectively over and Russia has won…
Russia has already announced that
in the next war, should there be one, will
not be fought on Russian soil. Russia plans to take the fight to the enemy
immediately. Of course, there won’t be a war—provided the Americans are sane
enough to realize that attacking Russia is functionally equivalent to blowing
themselves up with nuclear weapons. Are they sane enough? That is the
question that is holding the world hostage.
It is in speaking of them that
Putin used the most withering word in his entire address. Speaking of
Americans’ dishonesty and bad faith in accusing Russia of violating the ABM
treaty while it was they themselves who were violating it, he added: “...and
the American satellites oink along with them.”
It is rather difficult to come up
with an adequate translation for the Russian verb “подхрюкивать”; “oink along
with” is as close as I am able to get. The mental image is of a chorus of
little pigs accompanying a big swine.
The implication is obvious: Putin thinks that the Americans are swine,
and that their NATO satellites are swine too. Therefore, they shouldn’t expect
Putin to scatter any pearls before them and, in any case, he’ll be too busy
helping Russians live better lives to pay any attention to them.
What Putin is doing in Russia, strength through peace is
what Trump promised to do in America.
However the insane war-mongering lunatics around him seem to have
scuttled Trump’s agenda, for the time being that is. I can’t imagine what Trump must be thinking,
who can he talk to when everyone on his National Security team is nuts. From Geopolitics:

Trump Seek Carter’s Advice Regarding China’s Rise Amidst US Bankruptcy
Donald Trump has tried everything he can, even colluding lately with
the Deep State in its regime change strategies, without achieving the
intended results, just to keep his campaign promise of Making America Great
Again. Quite the contrary, in fact,
as the targets overtly defy every move the US makes, whether in the Middle East
or in Latin America.
Just recently, the emerging leader of a Unified Libya is inching his way to Tripoli,
in defiance to his former friends at Langley, Virginia. Venezuela
has withdrawn from the US rubber stamp known as the Organization of American
States.
Everyone, who’s got the balls, is leaving the US orbit and have
joined the China-led OBOR project to connect the entire Eurasian landmass to
other continents. So dire is the situation in the West that the Deep State needed a
strong diversion by rearresting Wikileaks’ Julian Assange, and burning down
Notre Dame?
Might be the case because the New
Zealand white supremacist attack on the Muslim community died down too quickly. Domestically,
more retail companies are closing their outlets across the nation, while
the banking system wants to impose regulation on cryptocurrencies for the final
phase of the AI-based control grid automation.
As online shopping continues to grow, another 75,000 stores could close
by 2026, says investment bank UBS. When everyone is buying their goods
online, it’s always a two-way street between the peoples’ convenience and the
state’s fully automated surveillance. What are they going to do with all that
data?
Already, we have seen how Google’s AI algorithm classified the Notre
Dame fire as conspiratorial.
Going back, Pompous Pompeo and his ilk are the new celebrity geopolitical
laughingstocks of the world that Trump must have revolted on their every
presence in the White House.
So, he decided to grab his phone
one lonely night, and consulted the man who “normalized diplomatic relations
with China in 1979.” President Donald Trump called former
President Jimmy Carter for the first time this weekend. Carter revealed
that news during his regular Sunday school lesson at his home church, Maranatha
Baptist Church in Plains, Georgia, on Sunday morning.
Earlier this year former President
Carter sent President Trump a letter with some advice about managing the
U.S.-China relationship. Carter oversaw the normalization of diplomatic
relations between the countries 40 years ago.
And on Saturday evening, Trump called Carter to talk about it. It was
the first time they’d spoken, Carter said. He
said Trump said he is particularly concerned about how China is “getting
ahead of us.” Carter agreed
that’s true.
“And do you know why? I normalized
diplomatic relations with China in 1979. Since 1979 do you know how many times
China has been at war with anybody? None. And we have stayed at
war,” he said. The U.S., Carter said,
has been at war for all but 16 years of its 242-year history. (China and
Vietnam actually fought a brief border war in early 1979, weeks after
normalization of U.S.-China relations.)
He called the United States “the
most warlike nation in the history of the world,” because of a tendency to try to force others to “adopt our
American principles.” Carter suggested that instead of war, China has been investing in
its own infrastructure, mentioning that China has 18,000 miles of high-speed
railroad.
“How many miles of high-speed
railroad do we have in this country?” Zero,
the congregation answered. “We have wasted I think $3 trillion,”
Carter said of American military spending. “… It’s more than you can
imagine. China has not wasted a single
penny on war and that’s why they’re ahead of us. In almost every way.
“And I think the difference is if you take $3 trillion and put it in
American infrastructure you’d probably have $2 trillion leftover. We’d have
high-speed railroad. We’d have bridges that aren’t collapsing, we’d have
roads that are maintained properly. Our education system would be as good as
that of say South Korea or Hong Kong.
“I wasn’t comparing my country
adversely to China,” Carter qualified. “I was just pointing that out because I
happened to get a phone call last night.”
He said he understood that Trump
is worried about China surpassing the U.S. as the world’s top economic
superpower. “I don’t really fear
that time, but it bothers President Trump and I don’t know why. I’m not
criticizing him — this morning,” Carter said to laughs from the audience.
While Putin promises to continue to conduct Russia’s foreign
policy: out in the open, in full public view, as a sovereign nation, America’s
unelected government continues to conduct covert campaigns of torture, assassinations,
war, death and destruction unchecked.
The American people and the American way of life is are
being threatened by these unelected frauds.
What Donald Trump has managed to do is turn the klieg lights on and
flood the illegal workings of government with light. Julian Assange and Chelsey Manning are
sacrificial lambs to cover up the CIA Crime Family rampage across Latin
America. Hopefully America as a force
for good will rise from the dead this Easter and drive the money changers from
the temple.
