American media headlines on the Horowitz report:
NBC News
“Internal Justice watchdog finds that Russia probe was justified, not biased against Trump”
Washington Examiner
“Inspector general finds deep-rooted irresponsibility in the FBI”
Yawnnnnnn – another day in America.
Mike you are wrong to yawn, IMHO.
High drama is about to intensify and the purpose of the Empire’s MSM is to lull you and many scores of millions of others (yawn) to sleep.
LPAC has more experience with this kind of thing….about a half century more:
“We continue to disagree with Senator Graham, Inspector Horowitz, and the Democratic Party and their intelligence community friends that the Russians hacked the DNC and produced the WikiLeaks documents. This myth, traced to British intelligence networks in London, Europe and the United States, is part of a drive to war by the treason and sedition faction here.”
That’s the (yawn) extent of what is at stake. This morning’s Lead continues:
“Nonetheless, Senator Graham provides a succinct and comprehensive overview of the horrors committed against the President and the American people by the FBI and DOJ from 2016 forward as found by Inspector General Horowitz.”
https://larouchepac.com/20191211/watch-never-thought-we-d-say-lindsay-graham-hot-and-you-should-be-too
contains the C-Span Video Coverage of Sen Graham…getting a little deeper (yawn) into what’s at stake.
Note the mortified US Senator seated just to the “left” of Lindsey: Diane Feinstein…..looking exactly like a (political) corpse…………
Later today I will have something more recent……….more corpses in the morgue, hopefully.
Xinjiang:
Two recent presentations about the terrorism and separatism in Xinjiang.
Never before release footage of some of the massive terrorist attacks.

‘Anti-Semitism according to Corbyn, Livingstone and their allies exists, but only when its victims are the tiny proportion of Jews who are both anti-Zionist and truly socialist. Then you deserve solidarity. If you have some kind of affinity to the “ethnocratic racist Zionist endeavor” or simply just prefer some version of capitalism, then you are fair game.’
‘If decent socialists are so eager to see a true socialist in power, and are prepared to overlook his new division of the Jews, then at the very least they should openly recognize his attitude for what it is’
‘And this is why Corbyn is a threat to Jews, not just in Britain, but throughout the West. He is popularizing within the left, that historical defender of minorities, the concept that only Jews who disavow both Zionism and capitalism are worthy not only of “comradeship”‘

So i’m watching the impeachment hearings today and boy is it rough, the two sides simply talk past one another almost as if they recognize their own irrelevance and treat the institution as just another reality show but its really closer to Russian roulette.
Its wall to wall ‘impeachment’ and IG report out there. I try to ignore it really.
But here is something – I picked it up on Sott.net, then followed it through on Zerohedge and eventually read it on the Washington Post (Oh dear).
Zerohedge is easiest to read so , here goes …
“Undeniable Evidence”: Explosive Classified Docs Reveal Afghan War Mass Deception
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/unearthed-pentagon-docs-reveal-afghan-war-deception-new-pentagon-papers-moment
So, I checked Fox – and it is wall to wall impeachment and talking heads and this little Afghan War Mass Deception is below the fold. Though this is the stuff that Americans should know.
Goodness, gracious…the Pentagon lying?… now, who would have guessed!
LOL
COL
The deception was that the war was going to end one day, but for some reason continues to go on indefinitely and so to destract from the worrys of a never ending war (ergo no stability in Afganistan), we turn our attention to the hearings and naturally give a big hoorah to our side.
I’m starting to prove that lawyers are nothing more than cheerleaders for the majority. And this aint no minor league squad we’re watching here.
‘Impeachment’ theatre might have another dark motive: https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/12/08/wow-oan-stunning-lutsenko-interview-outlines-marie-yovanovitch-perjury-george-kent-impeachment-motive-lindsey-graham-motive-to-bury-investigation/
“Senators from both parties participated in the influence process and part of those influence priorities was exploiting the financial opportunities within Ukraine while simultaneously protecting Joe Biden and his family. This is where Senator John McCain and Senator Lindsey Graham were working with Marie Yovanovitch.”
“U.S. senators write foreign aid policy, rules and regulations thereby creating the financing mechanisms to transmit U.S. funds. Those same senators then received a portion of the laundered funds back through their various “institutes” and business connections to the foreign government offices; in this example Ukraine. [ex. Burisma to Biden]”
One big laundry scheme, or call it grabbing illegally tax money. And they (both Dems and Reps involved) see
Trump as a danger to the flourishing fraud.
Afghanistan is not a war. Are the US troops ‘securing the oil’ in Syria fighting a war? Their aim is to secure a cash flow of close to a trillion dollars a year from opium production and trade, that the Taliban was weeding out, and then the City of London called.
Add to that, Afghanistan borders Iran in the West, and via a small land corridor tho China in the east (where the Uyghurs live). Why would the US military have transported thousands of ISIS fighters to Afghanistan?
My guess is, that the US military (and multiply those troops with roughly a factor 3 to assess the number of contractors) will stay there for many years to come.
Cheers, Rob
I’m sure that if you go far enough down the rabbit hole, there was illegal/immoral activities by people in both US parties in the Ukraine…no one in the deep state is clean.
Possibly good news.
Will Finland Get World’s Youngest Prime Minister?
https://sputniknews.com/europe/201912091077518956-will-finland-get-worlds-youngest-prime-minister/
“Marin is an MP from Tampere currently in her second term and has been Minister of Transport and Communications since June. She also led the Social Democratic party during Rinne’s extended sick leave last winter.
Marin’s campaign during this year’s general election focused on environmental sustainability and equality. Marin proposes to phase out fossil fuel vehicles and is a firm opponent of Finland joining NATO.
In a letter she sent to fellow party members on Sunday, Marin called the situation “exceptional”, stressing that the main focus for the Social Democrats is to work for a fairer and more egalitarian society.
Marin was raised by a single mother, who later entered a same-sex relationship, and has a working-class background. She stressed that she is the first member of her family to finish high school and obtain a university education, for which she credits the welfare state.
Marin holds a master’s degree in administrative studies and is married with a toddler.”
Hopefully, she isn’t doing a trump (simply engaging in zio-psywar to get elected to the position).
“and is married with a toddler.”
Dear colleagues of Sputnik, I think you mean “is married, and is mother of a toddler.” Worth changing? ;-)
Cheers, Rob
Here is a question that I’ve asked before, but never got a satisfactory answer :-) Perhaps there isn’t one. I see today that Mr Trump is highly upset about the whole impeachment and everything .. saying:
“They fabricated evidence and they lied to the courts,” “This was an attempted overthrow and a lot of people were in on it, and they got caught.”
Why is nobody in the US connecting the dots, that it is their own overthrows of many other countries that is now being used against them – internally? Just in this past year Mr Trump supported an attempted overthrow in Venezuela and we have continual meddling in other countries – I mean, I don’t have to list the list again – Iraq, Syria, Venezuela, Bolivia etc etc.
So, why should anyone pay one moment’s notice to the ‘attempted overthrow’ in the US? I mean I just cannot get excited about it whatsoever – and the false indignation. The US deserves about 60 overthrows to just even things up. Who came up with the words “goat rodeo” – they fit I think.
True observation. Sad! ;-)
It isn’t the first time. In 1933 a military coup was planned against FDR, orchestrated by filthy rich families that wanted to install sort of a fascist regime. Unfortunately the foreseen coup leader, General Smedley Butler (yes, the one from ‘War is a racket’) was more loyal than greedy.
The whole story was wiped under the carpet and is not in the history books: https://www.globalresearch.ca/fascist-coup-america/5693708
I still expect a ‘coup’ in the DNC next year, when division arises about the candidates (I mean, really, Joe Biden with brain defects from sniffing children hair?), and tadaaaa, Cankles is there again, prepared by her medical staff and puffing like Jabba the Hut.
She still seems to be popular: https://nypost.com/2019/12/09/democrats-pick-hillary-clinton-as-2020-frontrunner-in-new-party-poll/

There is a good comment from the Sirius Report today ..
“Truth is the only thing to set you free and until the west embraces it’s very ugly history it will never be free from the those who were responsible for utterly reprehensible conduct, undertaken in our name.”
https://twitter.com/thesiriusreport/status/1203960991559639040
The Sirius Report Podcast is a good service which I take into consideration every week, every episode….”5″ per week of about 20 minutes each…though grouped in 2 “Double” Podcasts and 1 Single Podcast.
Although nothing by any group of humans is Complete…………or ever could be….London Paul ……….and his wife Lisa (and their extensive high level sources and confidential contacts) are certainly worth checking with on a regular basis.
As to WHY anyone should care about the Disgusting Deplorable Drama around the US Impeachment Saga…that’s Elementary, Dear amarynth:
THE center of Empire in the last 300 years has been… and still IS London.….as the Corruption influence over their colonies and former(??) colonies “across the pond” ..originates in your homeland………as the work of London Paul and his wife certainly confirms with much more emotional balance (toward Trump) than you have been willing to consider so far.
Except (perhaps…silently??) on DJT’s Antipathy to The Paris Climate Accords Globaloney Scam………but amazingly, you would prefer not even “to go there”………..as it …..any such coincidental accord with “Orange Man Bad” rubs your emotions ….just far, far too much “the wrong way”…..evidently.
No doubt explaining your reluctance to deal with the plain fact that The Coup Against Trump originated with Steele’s handler in MI-6….and so forth.
But rejoice!
Emotional discomfort can be a wonderful thing if it leads to successfully resolving a number of connected but discordant and unresolved dissonances……..a wondrous technique even employed by the finest classical composers!
AND even better,,,when you realize that in the West…..(not ONLY Russia, China and Iran…) there are extraordinary minds working on all the related problems of Ending Empire Enslavement………..including, definitively…even in Merry Olde England….and Indeed…..London itself!
Standby for that, next post out of me……..
Cheerio!
If the centre of the empire was London, dear Liza, I mean bro, why d’you think the NHS was ever permitted to flourish?
Is it a case of the parasite requires a strong host, to exacerbate inequality (FOXCONN Style or gangnam whichever tickles your fancy) before annihilation, prior moving to a new host?
I guess you must look after your mini property empire and that, therfeore, that last question is “NO”.
If so, can you, simpy, admit that you are a parasite, please?
This is trump’s america, the maga he specifically wants.
Secret Service logs ‘disappeared’ because they showed collusion with right-wing mob, Blumenthal tells RT
https://www.rt.com/usa/475379-blumenthal-chargest-dropped-interview/
“Blumenthal was subjected to an early morning arrest in October on a five-month-old warrant, which stemmed from an accusation against him and fellow activist Ben Rubinstein. A Venezuelan opposition activist said they attacked her when they were delivering food to people who took cover in the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington DC trying to prevent supporters of US-backed self-proclaimed president Juan Guaido from taking over the place.
The journalist says the charge was bogus from the start, but his defense took a surprising turn when Blumenthal’s lawyer requested exculpatory evidence in the form of logs from the US Secret Service, whose agents were present at the scene. If agents failed to call an ambulance after a violent incident resulting in an injury, a lack of such call would indicate that the allegations were false, he reasoned.
However, the logs for the day were completely missing. Blumenthal believes the Secret Service obstructed the request because the logs would confirm that they were acting hand-in-glove with the crowd trying to take over the diplomatic mission, he told RT.
“What I think could be the case here is that they are concerned that their collusion with this right-wing band of hooligans, who were used to do what the Secret Service was legally forbidden from doing, which is prevent food and medicine from getting into the embassy,” would have been exposed, he said.
The Grayzone journalist said he was obviously targeted with a false accusation because he personally and his colleagues were vocal opponents of Guaido and his Washington-backed attempts to overthrow the Venezuelan government.
“It’s really scary that someone could be hauled out of his house by a team of cops, listed falsely as ‘armed and dangerous,’ and then jailed for two days and possibly put on trial because someone who doesn’t like their political views decides to level a false allegation against him,” he said. “There has to be some deterrence against this happening again.”

The Monroe Doctrine is alive and ‘well’.
Under the Trump Regime it has actually been blatantly reinvented and in fact, invigorated. It has a palpable new energy. Just as the intervention in the ME is running out of steam the South American situation is dramatically gaining momentum…although I am sure the timing of these two events is purely coincidental…LOL.
Drumpf is a major cheerleader in this process but he also appointed and encouraged bloodthirsty lunatics like Bolton, Pompeo, Pence, and Abrams to aid him in this dirty work. This is so far away from his election platform that it might as well be on another planet… it’s not though…it is in ‘his’ backyard…at least as he views it anyway.
Below is my personal interpretation of this phase in the evolution of this obscene doctrine:
#1 This is our [Warshington’s] personal playground…no one else in the world has the right to interfere
#2 Because we are so exceptional we will decide the political future of this entire region
#3 Along the way at our whim we will rape, pillage and regime change any sovereign country that is not completely subservient to our demands…especially if it is rich in national resources
#4 We will undertake all of this blatantly and totally at odds with common human decency or international law.
#5 Any politician, citizen, journalist, truth-teller, or come to think of it, indeed anyone at all that gets in the way, is highly likely to be thrown under the nearest large moving bus.
Caitlin Johnstone helps to explain how this sort of obscene neocolonialism is perpetuated in the below link…
it is entitled…“The Cost Of Sanity, In This Society, Is A Certain Level Of Alienation”…the title says it all!
It goes some way to explain how this phenomenon from the individual level right through to a societal epidemic of cognitive dissonance can develop, and how vile and disgraceful policy can come to be ignored, condoned, or even, dare I say it, loudly applauded by Mainstreet.
A quote from CJ’s link…
Jiddu Krishnamurti once said, “It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”

Cheers, Col, agree, israel’s trump regime is a continuation of what is worst about american foreign policy. All empire, all the time…by any means available.
Thanks for the Caitlin Johnson link. The woman does good work.
No worries vot
I spend roughly 1000hrs each year studying and reading up on the 3Ns.
CJ and The Saker in my view are head and shoulders above any other writers and commentators that I know of on the globe regarding this subject.
I think this latest article by Caitlin is particularly important because it addresses the aspects, from initial feelings of isolation and rejection to depression and even flat-out despair, that this grim subject can manifest in anyone who dares to delve.
Understanding how this all works could help us all keep these feelings in perspective and to aid us in continuing to ask the questions that so badly need to be asked. This fight is for humanity and could well help to ensure our very survival as a species.
In the next stage, it is no longer overwhelming. It can even become hugely rewarding, uplifting and enlightening.
Keep up the fight vot!
Best regards

On RT Lavrov giving press presentation after meeting Pompeo and updating him or filling him in with Rusdias standing and viewpoint….seems to me Russia hinting to Trump get back in control and sensible statesmanship and there can be agreements discussions for positive results on very many things…armaments Syria Iran Venezuela Ukraine etc etc……but hidden message is …enough is enough wake up you are only a couple of steps from very deep water or that cliff edge indeed?
Here are more of my Favorite Londoners (in oppositional consciousness to Steele, his handler Sir Richard Dearlove …those soft on Lizzie, Phil, Charles, Andrew and the rest of those inborn freaks…) connecting a lot of things that could even conceivably……………miraculously!!!

Scientists Reveal Possible Bigfoot Sighting During Hunt for ‘Apelike Creature’ in Oregon Forests
https://sputniknews.com/viral/201912111077538285-scientists-reveal-possible-bigfoot-sighting-hunt-oregon/
“A team of experts has been searching for Bigfoot in the forests of central Oregon as part of a documentary for the Travel Channel. More than 10,000 people have described eyewitness encounters with Bigfoot in the US over the past 50 years, with almost a third of all reports coming from Oregon.”
Not surprised to see such a high proportion from oregon. :-D
Oregon has some of the ‘highest’ population in NA, so frequent sightings of ape like creatures (ah, the missing link, Livingston) is to be expected, alas, once they come ‘down’, a bear, is a bear, is a bear.
Plenty of REAL issues on US-Russia agenda, seek truth about 2016 ‘election meddling’ in secret Obama cables – Lavrov
https://www.rt.com/usa/475539-lavrov-trump-elections-meddling/
“After meeting with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo at the State Department, Lavrov also sat down with President Donald Trump at the Oval Office. The White House readout of their meeting said that Trump had “warned against any Russian attempts to interfere in United States elections.”
“We did not discuss the election,” Lavrov told reporters later on Tuesday, adding that the talks focused on improving US-Russia relations going forward. When someone tried to frame that as an accusation that the White House had lied, the foreign minister clarified. “I did not read the White House readout,” Lavrov said.
Insofar as the subject came up, the top Russian diplomat mentioned that Moscow was perfectly willing to publish the correspondence conducted with the Obama administration between October 2016 and January 2017, using the since-shuttered cybersecurity cooperation channel.
Lavrov noted that he did not understand why the current administration is refusing to release the documents, which he said would show that Russia had offered to help and clarify any allegations of “meddling” in the 2016 vote, only to have the Obama administration “categorically refuse.”
Why would israel’s trump quislings refuse? Because they are in on the scam. The “Russia collusion” nonsense is to befuddle pindoland with nonsense, in order to open the way for zionazia (israel) to wield their pindo lapdogs at will in any which way they choose. The trump regime is part of the scam, not a victim of it.
Absolute power: How WADA became the judge, jury and executioner of world sports
https://www.rt.com/news/475529-wada-absolute-power-international-sport/
“Russia’s four-year sporting ban has demonstrated the extent of the World Anti-Doping Agency’s (WADA) ability to decide the fate of entire nations in the world of sport. How did a single bureaucracy gain such absolute power?
The ban covers next summer’s Olympics in Japan and the FIFA 2022 World Cup in Qatar. It will affect thousands of professional athletes who never took any banned substances and only dreamed to win in a jersey with the Russian flag while their national anthem plays.
Russians will still be able to compete at international sports events as neutrals, but only if they get WADA approval – meaning that they now have to prove their innocence. Moscow called the WADA decision politically motivated “collective punishment” and is now preparing to challenge it at the top sports court.
How was one single entity allowed to accumulate such power, defining the fate of entire nations in the world of sports, without an external system of checks and balances?
Yet as WADA powers grew, so did the concerns about its suspected lack of transparency and flawed methods. The agency has turned into a judge, jury and executioner rolled into one, as it was essentially responsible for both defining which substances should be considered illegal for athletes, as well as for testing and investigating the very same athletes and eventually imposing sanctions against them.
This fact did not escape the attention of some scientists, including Erik Boye, a renowned Norwegian cell biologist and professor emeritus at the Institute for Biosciences of the University of Oslo. He argued that the WADA doping control mechanism has turned into an opaque system, hesitant to admit its mistakes. Others questioned WADA’s list of banned substances, arguing that it lacks scientific justification.
Meanwhile, the only existing way for the affected athletes – and entire nations for that matter – to dispute WADA’s decisions has been the Court of Arbitration for Sport. However, the CAS does not control WADA in any way, but simply handles the disputes between the agency and those it considered to be in violation of its anti-doping rules.
Even then, the court is in WADA’s power to some extent, at least according to Boye and those that share his view.
“The lawyers residing in the panels of CAS hearings frequently meet with WADA-accredited scientists and develop a confidence in their expertise that may run counter to trusting opposing and unfamiliar expertise. This lack of power balance is not fair to the athlete,” the Norwegian scientist wrote in one of his opinion pieces on the matter.
By giving the agency a growing number of powers over the past few decades, the world of sports has unwittingly found itself entangled in its web. As WADA has arguably grown too powerful and unaccountable, neither the international sports bodies nor the national governments managed to create an effective oversight body.
The consequences were not long in coming.”
Wada needs to die, pure and simple. And the corrupt sods there who have ruined and damaged the lives of 1000s in their pursuit of israeloamerican full spectrum dominance, they need to be held accountable and at the very least, reimburse those 1000s for the damage they did to their lives.
Video: NASA Time-Lapse Footage Shows 48 Years of Earth’s Melting Glaciers, Ice Sheets
https://sputniknews.com/environment/201912111077536178-video-nasa-time-lapse-footage-shows-48-years-of-earths-melting-glaciers-ice-sheets/
“Decades of satellite images from the NASA-US Geological Survey Landsat program have been compiled and released by scientists who say the events seen in their time-lapse video are a clear indicator of a warming climate’s impact on ice masses around the Earth.”
What these commie luvin’ libberwalls fail to understand is that glacial retreat and polar ice thinning is due to global cooling not warming. They just don’t
understand that when the climate cools down, it melts glaciers and polar ice packs.
This is why the wise american leader trump asked denmark to sell Greenland to his business associates. He knows as the climate gets cooler, it will melt significant portions of the Greenland icecap and expose the wealth of mineral resources beneath.
Bad, bad denmark refused to sell, so regime change is likely down the line…
‘I Wish I Could Say More’: Norway’s Criticism of Multi-Billion-Dollar F-35 Blunder Top Secret
https://sputniknews.com/military/201912111077538774-i-wish-i-could-say-more-norways-criticism-of-multi-billion-dollar-f-35-blunder-top-secret/
“Defence Minister Frank Bakke-Jensen explained that both Defence Chief Haakon Bruun-Hanssen and the Auditor General’s office agreed to keep the report’s results top secret. Neither the seriousness of the criticism, nor the degree of confidentiality will be released.
“The audit of the fighter jets’ operating capabilities covers possible vulnerabilities in maintenance, logistics and refuelling functions, fighter jet bases and protection of our air space,” Defence Minister Frank Bakke-Jensen told the newspaper Klassekampen. According to Bakke-Jensen, such information is of “high value” for foreign intelligence-gathering operations, and that’s why the Auditor General’s report is classified and won’t be publicly shared.
According to Klassekampen, the secrecy was requested by Bakke-Jensen. The Auditor General’s office reportedly asked whether it could publicly issue a non-classified version of the report, but that was rejected by Bakke-Jensen on the grounds that no excerpts be taken out of the report.
Even the debate on the criticism will be confidential, as will the minutes of the meeting.”
Essentially the quisling norwegian regime telling the people of norway that their corruption in this scam not only will not be investigated, it won’t even be discussed publicly. Meanwhile, suckers, you get to pay the bill.

Re US government distortion and lies regarding war on terror (Afghanistan).
I heard a comment today on RT that just fell short of explaining it completely, although all the elements were there in plain view no conclusion was understood by the speaker. It went something like this: “USA invaded Afghanistan becuase of terrorism. The Taliban harboured Usama bin Laden! “.
Usama bin Laden and al Qaeda was placed in Afghanistan by Zbigniew Brzezinsky US national security advisor in the Carter administration in order to carry out jihad on their behalf. Initially the force was called by a common name of mujahedin , the work was later organised under al Qaeda and Usama bin Laden was the leader of that group, seen pictured in military uniform with Zbigniew Brzezinsky.
The plan was to eventually control the afghan government themselves in order to gain control over gas and oiltransport in the region with Caspian Sea oil and gas from the newly seperated republics of fmr. Soviet Union they also sought to control. Hamid Karzai former Unocal employee to become the president of Afghanistan.
If Usama bin Laden turned to terrorism against the USA, there was a pretext to invade Afghanistan. So that was what they did. There were plenty of CIA operatives within al Qaeda that could plan attacks against USA to put the plan into action even within USA. Whether Usama bin Laden was involved personally is not really that clear. Real evidence is lacking, and there may have been fake Usama bin Laden statements regarding his war on USA. CIA was secretly running al Qaeda.

Emotions are typically too simple….too “black and white”.
And their oversimplification leads to blind prejudices of belief……….. landing Mulga and Vot Tak in bed with the The Empire On Emotional Climate Manipulation (Yeah, giving THEM control to spite Orange Man Bad…that’s just GOT to be the right move! LOL)…….. meanwhile amarynth while not having the exact same problem on that issue (reason and strategic correlation of forces being more in control of her emotions on THAT front) gets carried away by the CABAL and their Cabal Ruined Coin BTC…..or its delinquent teenager BCH because of her passion for the Divine Anarchist Libertarian Right to buy illegal drugs..with her form of Anonymous Money……..and for defending FAKE (obviously Delphic Named )….”SILK ROAD” dark web denizen privileged class ne’er do well….Ross Ulbricht……….and the endearing cuteness of Inebriated elephants.
Which is why I have some interest (despite the prevalence of absolute fakery and phoniness in the “Progressive” movement …that is the US, Canada, AUS, NZ (Empire) part of it……. in a few examples of more nuanced MILDLY (not insanely, blindly) Trump-Critical Progressives Jimmy Dore and Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate of…………..

US drops false charge against journalist Max Blumenthal
Max was arrested at the Venezuelan Embassy in DC due to the provocations and false charges by an anti Maduro right wing Venezuelan emigre………..and then charged and jailed for nearly 2 days.
Max says ‘By the Trump Administration’
But we know the coup in DC might be a slightly higher priority for DJT than the one in Caracas…..and the failure down there tells me…..Trump just might not be on the same page…..anywhere.... with Debbie Wasserman Schultz….. who is shown agitating (in reality!) for BOTH coups in the above linked video.

Jeremy Corbyn faces Russiagate smear campaign before UK vote
It’s the weekly poesy of the archetypes, our heaven of Sun, Moon and planets, which ‘acts’ on
a hidden theater in the unconscious depths and heights of our psyche. It’s the rhythms that counts,
nothing else is as stable.
This week Venus in court and heart and brain in showers of invisible light. No earthly Golem will change that, and the demons might be squeaking.

Sounds good to me.
“The pen is mightier than the sword” is a metonymic adage, penned by English author Edward Bulwer-Lytton in 1839, indicating that communication (particularly written language), or in some interpretations, administrative power or advocacy of an independent press, is a more effective tool than direct violence.” (says Wikipedia)
And for wielder’s of the pen : Vasily Grossman, Ukrainian journalist and writer of Stalingrad.
Understanding of Russia and the fight to stop the empires war without reading the works of this author may be limited.
If, as one prolific poster on here has said, they do not read books, that is fine, but their words run the risk of being as a empty paper bags blown down the street by the wind.
The authorities said some of his books could not be published for 2 or 3 hundred years, yet they did not elaborate on the reasons for having to wait that long, perhaps it was his eye witness accounts of war that needed a lot of time to heal the wounds.
But having said that, hadn’t the best authors already published their works before this journalists turned author started writing his? Not that his works were any less relevant to their society than these “best” authors were to theirs. Which brings me full circle to the interpretation of peoples works and what they might be able to do with a pen, and a phone.
The empire’s war on peoples and governments around the world continues. Syria is still under attack after almost 9 years since the start of an engineered uprising supported by al Qaeda against the lawfully elected government and president. Destruction of Syria was the main objective.
Oil posessivenesis is among the most important aspect of this war, and IS became rich from export of illegal oil in the northeast through Turkey to the empires stores. The occupation became so important the forces were called Army of Conquest North and Army of Conquest South, and a fake legal basis was constructed through the Doha conference on Syria (Hillary Clinton, the Obama administration). The Golan Heights were occupied by IS and al Nusra and other mercenaries of USA and the rest of this empire. The Golan Heights oil was to be secured and exploited by Israel even though Golan is a part of Syria, it is not even a part of Palestine and certainly not a part of Israel. But Afek Oil and Gas controlled by Genie Energy USA found large reserves in the Golan Heights illegally occupied by Israel. And this is pretty much central in the empire’s war on Syria. Even the northern oil was controlled by the same conglomerate that then must be controlling US foreign policy, the politicians, and the president of the USA, part of a hidden british empire as well. Genel Energy had Nat Rothschild as co-founder, co-owner and board director. The kurdistan pipeline became the main IS’s export line since the oil convoys became targets . The export shifted to Iraqi Kurdistan.

The people of Syria has suffered immensly under the military attack and occupation by the corrupt western powers. So what is pres. Trump doing in the matter after Russia more or less singlehandedly defeated IS and al Qaeda and their recruited forces ? Furthering work from USA of course, trying to keep occupation of oil fields in the northeast, and illegally recognizing Golan Heights as Israeli territory.
In contrast to all this irrational behaviour of the empires using terrorism, the creation and use of IS and al Qaeda forces to occupy a sovereign nation to create mayhem and death and stealing her resources under a veil of lies and fake news propagated through there owned media, government media blockade against Syrian media through any international satellite or cable, here is an extensive interview with pres. Bashar al Assad of Syria made by RAI (Italy). There are no sensational statements, the Syrian defence against the enemies of peoples that invaded their country are explained in rational terms to a western audience.
The interview was shut down by RAI and never broadcasted.
It is however very much worth watching .

The Inspector General’s Report
A lot of people of very little actual fighting experience and much impatience in politics love to lament that “nothing will be done” about the Deep State crimes during the 2016 campaign and afterwards, apparently to insulate themselves and their feelings from the anticipated pain of disappointment……….(sigh and yawn)….yet again!
Last week, knowing the disorganizing impotence of such whining, Tracy Beanz, prior to the release of Horowitz’ report this week warned against going straight to the Conclusion….and not reading ALL of it.
Most people, of course, do exactly what Beanz cautioned against……….. and then tune in to MSM for even a shorter summary of that overcautious (because it is not Horowitz job to judge or prosecute…just to inspect what he could…with no subpoenas…) Conclusion and then get to hear from Rachel Maddow or someone similar running cover for the traitors reporting on James Comey’s tweeted review of the same Conclusion (as though there was Zero Damning Evidence in all the rest of the IG Report…..there IS!) to the effect of:
“Just a bunch of fine dedicated professionals trying to serve their country.” or some such garbage.
Here’s today’s Dark to LIght Podcast…….in which Beanz characterizes the IG Report as “just the table cloth underneath the carving up of the traitors, to come, by the prosecutors………” particularly drawing on Barr and Durham’s far more encouraging remarks…….for those thirsting for justice ……….and “Locking Them Up”:

Battling anti-Semitism or shielding Israel? Trump signs executive order targeting ‘discriminatory’ boycotts & activism on campuses
https://www.rt.com/usa/475640-trump-judaism-nationality-anti-semitism/
“US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that he claims will help combat anti-Semitic discrimination based on “race, color, or national origin,” as critics say it only shields the state of Israel from any criticism.
Some critics have posited a different purpose altogether, however: beating back criticism of Israel and silencing the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, which looks to bring international pressure on Israel to cease its occupation of Palestinian lands. The president singled out the initiative by name in his signing statement, insisting his administration has “taken a firm stand against the so-called divestment and sanctions movement.”
“It is designed to chill any kind of speech that is critical of Israel,” Joe Cohn, legislative and policy director at the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, told the Wall Street Journal. “This would be unconstitutional.”
The israeli’s boy toy trump continues to show that his loyalty to israel trumps his loyalty to americans and their Constitution. The man is a traitor and an embarrassment to the usa worse than any of the others that preceeded him (with the possible exception of the homosexual confederate buchanan).
VT, how is China supposed to protect it’s new BRI hub in Occupied Palestine? Without US taxpayer help? Huh? Who will help evict the Palestinians from thier ancestrial homelands on behalf of China to maintain security and protect said hub from Hezbollah’s long range precission rocketry. Big guess on my part; In the event of a war with the Apartheid Regime Hezbollah will be told by China not to target that port. The US taxpayer is the most useful tfool. Will the BRI free Gaza? Hahahahaha all the way to the piggly bank.
The very fact that China is building this port in Occupied Palestine speaks volumes as to why tRumpster is joining the anti BDS legislation movement to protect China’s investment there. They are not building an international airport in Gaza to lift the oppressed people there to some level of humanity above ‘dirt poor’. It’s ching ching bling bling and Palestinians won’t see one ‘Red cent’ other than in the form of bombs and bullets.
The famous ship is on fire at port, many injured, fire not under control yet.

Welcome to guardianistaville, folks.
Just excellent from Andre Vltchek
“My point is: the victims are divided. They know very little about each other. The struggles for true freedom, are fragmented. Those who fight, and bleed, but fight nevertheless, are often antagonized by their less daring fellow victims.
I have never seen the world so divided. Is the Empire succeeding, after all?
Yes and no.
Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela – they have already woken up. They stood up. They are learning about each other, from each other.
Without solidarity, there can be no victory. Without knowledge, there can be no solidarity.
Intellectual courage is now clearly coming from Asia, from the “East”. In order to change the world, Western mass media has to be marginalized, confronted. All Western concepts, including “democracy”, “peace”, and “human rights” have to be questioned, and redefined.
And definitely, knowledge.
We need a new world, not an improved one.
The world does not need London, New York and Paris to teach it about itself.
Fragmentation has to end. Nations have to learn about each other, directly. If they do, true revolutions would soon succeed, while subversions and fake color revolutions like those in Hong Kong, Bolivia and all over the Middle East, will be regionally confronted, and prevented from ruining millions of human lives.”

This is a truly astonishing article. It is based upon public records. It is intra-organizational discussion conducted by an American NGO. That NGO, however, regularly advises Congress and the Executive Branch. In it they basically discuss the illegal American occupation of Syria as if the US has some sort of right to be there. They go on to discuss option for advancing American interests despite current public opinion seeking to end such involvement -which they apparently consider to be an obstacle.

Here is what you do not do when you are being trolled ( do not feed the troll) but it is delicious to watch the faux outrage of a media hack who continues to lose viewers.

So Walmart just launched their new facial recognition program here in the states.
Not only have they about extincted the cashier, now as you scan and bag your items, you are being cam corded on the screen right in front of your eyes (future profiled and sterotyped). We aren’t even going to hide the fact.
Now if i’m the fbi doing this little trick, i’ll simply denigh that it exists and that will be the end of the story. And if i’m not the fbi, then just who in the heck fire am I?
Walmart, a buck twenty-five up from a dollar store. Why not patronize stores other than Wallyworld? Use cash, not credit, I know, who’s got cash never mind credit. Oh, and some hillbilly prostetic teeth, a few missin’ a few pointin’ straight out, including a unibrow with a Bolton cookie duster………..start a trend………until they ban hillbilly teeth, unibrows and The Bolton from public view. Hmmmm……….would the teeth, the brow and the stache fall under the ‘wearing a diguise thingy’ or does that only count when committing a crime…………which shopping at Walmart should xx…………………nevermind, I’m guilty too!
You have a strange imagination, you go right for the junk food as if wanting to target someone or something (missing my point about the future of survelience being right here in the present, that one doesnt bother you so much), but I get my kelloggs rice krispies there for half price of any high or low priced store, I’m a good consumer price wise and choose only quality items or fresh foods, and no, I dont get my veggies at wallyworld, they, like the guilty, dont stack up.
quality items like rice crispies?
Did you want to go a couple rounds of eugenics with me, or check what I have for breakfast?
Cease shopping at Walmart. It’s that simple.
Its not that simple, I get all of about 5 things at wally world, this is not a problem. What is a problem is your unreasonable request to direct me in a direction I both neither need to, or want to go in.
I’ll shop where I want to shop, and for what I want to shop for, reguardless of the discrimination.
Video survailance is everywhere, in public, in private,……….why does Walmart’s survailance bother you, and why would they discriminate against you? Maybe they want to target you with ads…………..but you’re too smart for that. I don’t like it anymore than you do but it’s everywhere……….so I just don’t see the issue. If you want aninomity, wear a disguise……….
Trump’s new trade deal to replace NAFTA is ‘mostly political theater’ – Prof. Wolff tells Boom Bust
https://www.rt.com/business/475696-trump-new-nafta-deal/
” The new trade pact signed by US, Mexico, and Canada this week to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) will make no significant difference, says Richard Wolff of the Economic Update.
“It’s mostly political theater,” he tells RT’s Boom Bust, explaining that what US President Donald Trump “needs and wants is the theater that he is tearing up all the agreements that weren’t good for us and substituting new better ones.”
The key thing is that “nothing matters unless it’s enforced,” Professor Wolff says, adding that nothing is going to change with the new deal. The “erosion of manufacturing jobs in America will continue because this is mostly theatre and not real,” he explains.”

Russian Military Says Terrorists Plotting Staged Chemical Attacks in Idlib Truce Zone
https://sputniknews.com/world/201912121077557638-russian-military-says-terrorists-plotting-staged-chemical-attacks-in-idlib-truce-zone/
“Terrorists are preparing to stage chemical attacks and the destruction of infrastructure in the south of the Idlib de-escalation zone, Maj. Gen. Yuri Borenkov, the head of the Russian Defence Ministry’s Center for Reconciliation in Syria, said on Thursday.
“The Russian center for the reconciliation of the warring parties received information that the leaders of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham terrorist group (formerly known as the Al-Nusra Front*), together with members of the pseudo-humanitarian organisation White Helmets, were plotting to stage the use of toxic substances and the destruction of civilian infrastructure in the settlements of the southern part of the Idlib de-escalation zone”, he said.
The purpose of these provocations is the preparation of photo and video materials for distribution on Internet resources, Middle Eastern and Western media publications with allegations that Syrian government forces were using chemical weapons against civilians and conducting indiscriminate attacks, he added.
He also said that the Russian military police is continuing to patrol routes in the provinces of Aleppo, al-Hasakah and Raqqa.”
No doubt that peacenik “man of the year” trump has ordered a new false flag against Syria. Why else would he have enthusiastically given this terrorist front additional funding recently?
The s.w.a.r.m. has been busy.
Award-Winning Journalist Vanessa Beeley Faces “Deplatforming” at Six Canadian Venues
https://www.globalresearch.ca/award-winning-journalist-vanessa-beeley-faces-deplatforming-at-six-canadian-venues/5697546
“Vanessa Beeley, the award-winning journalist who has gained notoriety for her on the ground reporting on the Syrian conflict has faced opposition in her efforts to speak to Canadian audiences at the invitation of local anti war activists.
According to Ken Stone of the Hamilton Coalition to Stop the War, a lead organizer of Beeley’s cross-Canada speaking tour, six venues have so far backed away from hosting the UK journalist’s talks. These include Palestine House in Mississauga, the Steelworkers Hall in Toronto, St. Paul’s University in Ottawa, the University of Montreal, the University of Winnipeg, and the Millenium Library, also in Winnipeg.
Stone explains that the withdrawal from agreements at each venue to host Beeley were preceded by the circulation of at least two hit pieces on the journalist upon her arrival in Canada – one by La Presse in Quebec and one by the Huffington Post. Stone explained that the decision to cancel in each case was precipitated by the circulation of these articles by unknown actors.
The proper name of the tour is ‘Canada’s Dirty War on Syria: The White Helmets and the Regime Change War billionaires.’ ( https://www.facebook.com/events/2723846821044437/?event_time_id=2723846854377767 ) Ms. Beeley was intent on presenting her research into Canada’s role in undermining the government of President Bachar Al Assad. Beeley’s message directly contradicts mainstream reporting on the conflict, particularly her research into the White Helmets, which she and other independent journalists classify as a propaganda construct providing public relations cover for regime change efforts and continued economic sanctions that are decimating the country.
According to Stone, however, there were two venues on the tour that allowed the Beeley presentation to take place in spite of this unexpected opposition. One was the New Vision Church in Hamilton. The other was the Knox Metropolitan United Church in Regina. Both Ministers highlighted concerns from a complainant about ‘hate speech’ being directed toward the White Helmets, and the prospect of traumatizing vulnerable Syrian refugees.
Stone added, “one of the people who spoke to both Ministers about the ‘traumatization’ turned out to be traced back to an address in the state of Washington USA. She was claiming that she was going to be traumatized by Vanessa speaking 4000 miles away!”
The “concerned letter” scam. This is a very common tactic by s.w.a.r.m., in fact it is basically their primary method to prevent their political opponents getting a say. They use it against publicly known professionals and everyone else. Even against people simply writing comments on the web.
