THE COLD WAR isn't over for Anatoly Golitsyn. Since last summer's failed coup in Moscow, he has been churning out memos for the CIA, warning them of what he regards as the true import of the tumultuous events taking place in the former Soviet Union. It is all "pretense," he says -- an elaborate exercise in strategic deception, designed to gull the West into embracing what is still an evil empire, still run behind the scenes by communist ideologues. Mikhail Gorbachev is in on the scheme. And so, too, says Golitsyn, is Boris Yeltsin. "At the end, when they win," Golitsyn declares, "they {will} get rid of capitalists forever." Golitsyn, you may ...
‘Dystopia’ in Chinese Surveillance Looks a Lot Like US Surveillance

(FAIR) — There’s a category of story we call “Them Not Us”—US media reporting on problems abroad, and seemingly not noticing that they have the same problems at home. There’s a great example of that in the New York Times (7/8/18), headlined “Inside China’s Dystopian Dreams: AI, Shame and Lots of Cameras.” In China, the New York Times (7/8/18) sees facial recognition as a sign of dystopia; in the West, the Times (7/9/18) reports on Amazon‘s promotion of the same technology as a “reputational risk.” Reporter Paul Mozur writes: “Beijing is embracing technologies like facial recognition and artificial ...
Trump says Germany 'is captive to Russia' in fiery opening salvo against NATO

BRUSSELS — President Trump unleashed a blistering attack Wednesday on Germany and other NATO allies, wasting no time to take the offensive before a week of high-stakes diplomacy on both sides of the former Cold War divide. The series of meetings — beginning with NATO and capped by a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin — has been largely framed around Trump’s claims that Washington bears an unfair burden to help protect its allies. “Germany, as far as I’m concerned, is captive to Russia because it’s getting so much of its energy from Russia,” Trump told NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, in a fiery on-camera exchange that was ...

A group of Canadians is fighting back against years of abuse under a secret experimental U.S. program, and it’s not the first time. A Canadian judge compensated 77 former victims of MK-Ultra in 1992. The U.S., whose CIA oversaw the mind-control program, has yet to see a similar suit successfully brought to trial.By S.T. Patrick Over 40 Canadians are striking back at one of the most notorious covert operations of the 20th century. Calling themselves Survivors Allied Against Government Abuse (SAAGA), the survivors recently gathered in Montreal to publicly share stories of the MK-Ultra abuse that destroyed their lives and their families. Their next step is to bring a class-action lawsuit ...
Abiy Ahmed Ali's political, economic reforms in first 100 days revive Ethiopia

It’s a first 100 days in office that might have made Franklin D. Roosevelt’s head spin. Abiy Ahmed Ali, the 41-year-old former intelligence officer who was elected prime minister in early April, has hit the ground sprinting, African analysts say, bringing vitality and movement to one of the continent’s biggest countries. A short list of his moves to date includes the release of thousands of political prisoners and the lifting of other political restrictions, ending a state of emergency imposed by his predecessor, initiating a historic diplomatic outreach to neighboring Eritrea, and announcing plans to privatize key state industries such as aviation and energy. Since he ...

Top Trump administration officials are working to stop Germany from allowing Iran to fly more than $350 million in cash out of the country and back to Tehran as part of a bid by the Iranian regime to restock its coffers ahead of a major financial crackdown by America, according to conversations with senior U.S. diplomats and officials on Capital Hill. The Trump administration is already working to stop the German government from allowing this transfer following weekend reports that Iran is poised to fly around 300 million Euros out of the country as part of an ongoing scheme to skirt tough new U.S. economic sanctions, which were put back into effect after President Donald Trump decided to ...

Port-au-Prince (AFP) - Scenes of anarchy alternated with tentative signs of a return to normal life in Haiti's capital, with calls for a general strike Monday after two days of deadly looting and arson triggered by a quickly-aborted government attempt to raise fuel prices. With the death toll rising to four, protesters in the impoverished Caribbean country called for a two-day general strike, despite the government's climbdown over the price increases. Many Haitians are now demanding the immediate departure of President Jovenel Moise. "If the president stays one more day, the game will take on a new appearance: we will cut off the roads and burn everything, because we have ...

Aides struggle to talk Trump out of launching invasion In August of 2017, President Trump surprised many by openly talking about the idea of launching a military attack on Venezuela. The public talk of this didn’t last long, and it has been all but forgotten. But not forgotten by President Trump. Aides say that since August President Trump has repeatedly pushed aides on the matter, and that a number of different cabinet members have had to take turns trying to talk Trump out of the idea. They have succeeded so far, but Trump hasn’t dropped the idea. Of course, there is no Congressional authorization, or anything resembling it, on the books authorizing a US invasion of Venezuela. ...

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, who has previously expressed disdain for President Trump, has agreed a request to fly a blimp made up to look like a baby Trump in a diaper during the President’s state visit next week. The 20-foot-tall blimp has been made by a protester in Britain who intends to fly it over parliament simply to ridicule the President during the visit because in his own words, “Trump has a tremendously fragile ego.” “We want to make sure he knows that all of Britain is looking down on him and laughing at him,” the man Leo Murray told NBC News last month. Now, after originally saying that the ‘Trump Baby’ was not legitimate protest, ...

Posted satirical image on private Facebook group, fined for hate speech A 64-year-old Swedish man was convicted of hate speech after posting a cartoon to a private Facebook group that made fun of Islam. The man added a comment under the image in which he asserted that Muslims were “pedophiles” and “must be stopped and (have) no access to Europe.” The satirical image was drawn by cartoonist Jan-Erik Ander. It shows two Muslim men including one holding a pram with a child. “Grandchild?” asks one of the men, to which the other responds, “No, this is my new wife!” The joke is based on the factual premise that child marriage is routine in many ...

A giant balloon dubbed the "Trump Baby" will be allowed to fly near London's Parliament during President Trump's visit on July 13, the activist group behind it says. The balloon's flight was approved by Mayor Sadiq Khan after more than 10,000 people signed a petition and more than 1,000 people raised over $20,000 through a crowdfunding campaign.That's a reversal from last week, when city officials denied the group permission to fly the "Trump Baby" blimp over Parliament Square."We didn't get off to the best start with the Mayor's office over this, who originally told us that they didn't recognize Trump Baby as legitimate ...

The real danger isn't that Mexico elected a left-wing populist as president, it’s that the new president won’t be able to govern his country Andrés Manuel López Obrador won the Mexican presidency in a landslide election on Sunday. Obrador—or Amlo, as he’s commonly called—is a left-wing populist of the sort common to Latin America. A former mayor of Mexico City who twice ran for president and lost, in 2006 and 2012, the 64-year-old Obrador, who spent decades as a radical outsider in Mexican politics, now finds himself in the seat of power in a country that’s falling apart. During his populist campaign, the silver-haired Obrador railed ...

U.S. assessing cost of keeping troops in Germany as Trump battles with Europe
Post Date: 2018-06-30 10:55:59 by Tooconservative

The Pentagon is analyzing the cost and impact of a large-scale withdrawal or transfer of American troops stationed in Germany, amid growing tensions between President Trump and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, according to people familiar with the work. The effort follows Trump’s expression of interest in removing the troops, made during a meeting earlier this year with White House and military aides, U.S. officials said. Trump was said to have been taken aback by the size of the U.S. presence, which includes about 35,000 active-duty troops, and complained that other countries were not contributing fairly to joint security or paying enough to NATO. Word of the assessment has alarmed ...
Sebastian Kurz looks to be the driving force in Europe

After helping to organize the “Axis of the Willing” and putting Angela Merkel in a very precarious position in Germany, Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz is poised to reshape the direction of the European Union. Or so he hopes, anyway. Working with Germany’s Foreign Minister along with the leaders of Italy, Hungary, Poland and others, Kurz is poised to essentially seal off Europe from African migrants and restore normal border security between nations. And all of this is happening at a time when Austria is set to take their turn in the rotating leadership of the European Union. At only 31 years of age, the “rock star of the European right” has come a long way. ...
Why No Outrage Over U.S. Killing of Children?
Post Date: 2018-06-28 13:09:35 by Deckard

National outrage over President Trump’s policy of separating immigrant children from their parents as a way to deter illegal immigration into the United States has forced the president to abandon the policy. The outrage came from all sides of the political spectrum, especially from the left, and from the mainstream media. Trump’s policy is obviously cruel and brutal, given that it uses children as pawns to achieve a political end. No matter how much psychological damage is inflicted on children owing to the fear that comes with forced separation, the idea is that such emotional damage is worth it given the aim of preventing or discouraging illegal immigration to the United States. ...

The simple fact is that the U.S. is not winning the war.The ceasefire in Afghanistan came to an unmistakable end Wednesday when 30 Afghan government soldiers were killed in a Taliban attack in a western province. You may not have noticed the end of the ceasefire because you may not have noticed the start of the ceasefire, just a few days earlier. You should not feel guilty. Seventeen years after the U.S. invaded, there is still not much reason to pay attention to Afghanistan, because nothing ever changes much. Yet we remain there in the obstinate hope that something will. We stay because we don't know what else to do. The simple fact is that we are not winning the war—and if you ...

(Bloomberg) -- To arrive at the El Paraiso water-filling station in Caracas by sunrise, Rigoberto Sanchez wakes before 4 a.m. Hours later, his tanker is in a slow-moving line with a dozen others. Only two of the 10 pumps work and Sanchez will have time for a couple of deliveries if he’s lucky. If he’s luckier, the military won’t intercept him. “They hijack our trucks, just like that,” said Sanchez, leaning on a rusty railing. “Once that happens, you’re in their hands, you have to drive the truck wherever they want you to.”’ Venezuela’s military has come to oversee the desperate and lucrative water trade as reservoirs empty, broken pipes ...
Mad Dog Mattis, the destroyer of Raqqa, frets about losing moral authority

RT It’s parallel universe time when US Pentagon chief James ‘Mad Dog’ Mattis complains that America’s “moral authority” is being undermined by others – specifically Russian leader Vladimir Putin. This is the ex-Marine general who gained his ruthless reputation from when illegally occupying US troops razed the Iraqi city of Fallujah in the 2004-2005 using “shake and bake” bombardment of inhabitants with banned white phosphorus incendiaries. A repeat of those war crimes happened again last year under Mattis’ watch as Pentagon chief when US warplanes obliterated the Syrian city of Raqqa, killing thousands of civilians. ...
A mystery: Italy seizing migrant rescue ships, but who owns them? [Soros]

After Italy turned away one ship carrying migrants from northern Africa this month, they’re now upping the ante, saying that they plan to seize two additional ships which have been ferrying migrants back and forth on the Mediterranean. The two ships, the Lifeline and the Seefuchs, claim to be picking up refugees stranded at sea and say that they are Dutch ships on a mission of mercy. But the Italians say that they are illegally flying the Dutch flag and may, in fact, be engaged in human smuggling operations. (BBC) Italy says it will seize two migrant rescue ships in the Mediterranean, citing doubts over their legal status. Italian authorities said the Lifeline and Seefuchs, operated ...
Bannon, Salvini, And A Powerful Catholic Cardinal Are Gunning For Pope Francis

As the populist wave continues to rise throughout Europe - most recently in Italy where refugees are now being turned away, prominent conservative Catholics are coming together to take on Pope Francis. At the center of the intra-faith efforts are Steve Bannon, along with Italy's new interior minister Matteo Salvini and American Cardinal Raymond Burke - all of whom are staunchly opposed to liberal open-border policies advocated by the Pope. Francis is a harsh critic of secure borders, and an advocate of unchecked migration - calling President Trump "un-Christian" for wanting to build his wall (which would be around 30-feet, the same height as the wall surrounding the ...

Watch the video. Look at the passenger’s arrogance, belligerence, and sense of entitlement. “She should have respected me and my religion.” We see these demands for respect again and again from Muslims who have actually done nothing to deserve respect. The demands for respect come from Islam’s inculcation of a supremacist mentality in the believers. They believe that they’re entitled to submission and obeisance from non-Muslims, particularly since the Quran tells Muslims that they are “the best of peoples” (3:110). “British Muslim passenger rants at air stewardess and calls her a ‘fucking slut’ and a ‘bitch’ for serving him a ...
