Having failed to achieve any of its objectives in Syria, it inexplicably
“invaded” Iraq, affording the US military a means of “easing into” the
conflict by first confronting ISIS in Iraq, then following them back
across the border into Syria. When this scheme began to lose its impact
on public perception, ISIS first started executing Western hostages
including several Americans. When the US needed the French on board,
ISIS executed a Frenchman. When the US needed greater support in Asia,
two Japanese were beheaded. And just ahead of President Obama’s recent
attempt to formally authorize the use of military force against “ISIS,” a
Jordanian pilot was apparently burned to death in a cage in an
unprecedented act of barbarity that shocked even the most apathetic.
The theatrics of ISIS parallel those seen in a Hollywood production.
This doesn’t mean ISIS didn’t really burn to death a Jordanian pilot or
behead scores of hostages. But it does mean that a tremendous amount of
resources and planning were put into each murder; except, apparently,
the effect it would have of rallying the world behind the US and its
otherwise hopelessly stalled efforts to overturn the government of
Syria. ***Read full article here*** *More information here
Sen. Ron Wyden and Sen. Orrin Hatch are now in a stand-off over a bill that would put secretive trade deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership
(TPP) agreement on the Fast Track to passage through Congress. The
White House meanwhile, has intensified their propaganda campaign, going
so far as to mislead the public about how trade deals—like the TPP
and its counterpart, the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership
(TTIP)—will affect the Internet and users' rights. They are creating videos, writing several blog posts, and then this week, even sent out a letter from an "online small business owner" to everyone on the White House's massive email list, to further misinform the public about Fast Track. ***Read full article here***
Judging by what ISIS
actually does and whom its acts benefit, its clandestine associates, and
the testimony of some witnesses, ISIS is a complex intelligence
operation. Its complexity reflects at least in part the fact that it
serves the interests of several countries and that it has more than one
objective. Its complexity reflects also the large effort to reinforce a
false image with disinformation and staged events such as a video of a
beheading which could not have been a beheading unless they’ve
discovered a bloodless method until now unknown to science.
The subject of ISIS is not without brief glimmers of humor. The image of
bands of men, swathed in Arabic robes and bumping their way around the
desert in Japanese pick-up trucks with Kalashnikovs raised in the air
for every picture has elements of Monty Python. The idea of modern,
trained and well-armed military units turning and running from them
resembles a war scene in a Laurel and Hardy comedy such as the one with
Hardy stuck upside down in a WWI tank turret kicking his legs the whole
time Laurel drives towards the German positions managing accidentally to
round-up a whole trench-full of prisoners with some wire fencing that
becomes snagged on the tank. ***Read full article here***
The corporate media are flooding their broadcasts with
the videos of the horrific aftermath of the Boston bombing, none of
which is evidence of anyone's guilt, but intended to cement the official
story in the public mind. So ...
For me, the entire government case falls apart on this one piece of evidence.
At top is the remains of the bomb, which was hidden in a
BLACK backpack, with a square white label on it. Below that image, the
two men to the left are the Tsarnaev brothers photographed at the scene
prior to the bombing. Their backpacks are grey, with no square label.
The man on the right, part of a team all dressed identically, wears a
black backpack with the square white label. And more tellingly, this third man was photographed after the bombing WITHOUT his backpack.
It is also now apparent that the much cited video that supposedly
showed Dzhokhar Tsarnaev planting a bomb does not exist, but was
reported to support the official story and taint the jury pool.
The controversial jazz musician whose Royal Northern College of
Music gig was cancelled has hit back at the Jewish group behind the
protest – branding them 'enemies' of Manchester and the British public.
Gilad
Atzmon was scheduled to perform at the venue last night but had his gig
cancelled due to protests from the North West Friends of Israel.
The
group put pressure on the college by accusing him of being anti-Semitic
for what they claimed were his 'criticisms of Zionism, Jewish identity
and Judaism generally, as well as his controversial views on Holocaust
denial and Jewish history'.
