Updates for a possible coup against Jeremy Corbyn

 globinfo freexchange In this episode of RT's Going Underground , former MP and author of A Very British Coup and The Friends of Harry Perkins , Chris Mullin, spoke about the history of MI5 and MI6 meddling in UK politics against Labour Party leaders. He also estimated whether a British coup is underway against Jeremy Corbyn. The story of A Very British Coup was set in the 1980s when there was speculation about the possibility of a government led by someone like Tony Benn and the establishment conspired to bring it down. The establishment in this case being a sort of mixture of the security and intelligence services, the media barons, with a little help from the Americans.  Tony Benn looked likely to become deputy leader of the Labour Party which at the time was strongly challenging the government of Margaret Thatcher in the opinion polls. Persistent rumours circulated over the years about attempts by members of the British security services, and other wings of the B

Healthcare industry lobbyists number one candidate for pushing their DNC puppets to sabotage Bernie Sanders ... again

globinfo freexchange As we pointed out recently, it is certain that various corporate lobbyists consider Bernie Sanders a major threat against their interests. Only one example is the revelation by The Intercept in November, 2018, according to which health care industry lobbyists were seeking to kill one of Bernie's central pursued policies: Medicare For All. The Intercept presented updated evidence about the persistence of the lobby to kill Medicare For All:  At a luxury resort just outside of the nation’s capital last month, around four dozen senior congressional staffers decamped for a weekend of relaxation and discussion at Salamander Resort & Spa. It was an opportunity for Democrats and Republicans to come together and listen to live music from the Trailer Grass Orchestra, sip surprisingly impressive glasses of Virginia wine — and hear from health care lobbyists focused on defeating Medicare for All. The event was hosted by a group called Center Forward an

Strong evidence that the US empire already orchestrates false flag operations to provoke a war with Iran

globinfo freexchange Contrary to initial statements by the government of Fujairah, the UAE foreign ministry said in a statement that four commercial vessels were targeted by “sabotage operations” near the territorial waters of the United Arab Emirates, adding that there were no victims. The ministry statement was tweeted by the official news agency WAM. The government of Fujairah, a member of the United Arab Emirates federation, denied on Sunday media reports about blasts at the port of Fujairah, according to a statement tweeted by its media office. Fujairah, just outside the Strait of Hormuz, is one of the largest bunkering hubs in the world. The strait is vital oil and natural gas corridor for the global energy market. https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20190512-uae-denies-media-reports-about-blasts-at-port-outside-strait-of-hormuz/ Saudi Arabia said Monday two of its oil tankers were damaged in "sabotage attacks" in the Gulf as tensions soared in a region alrea

Another Whistleblower bites the dust as The Intercept adds a third notch to its burn belt

Early Thursday morning, the Department of Justice unsealed an indictment against Daniel Everette Hale — a former intelligence analyst for the U.S. Air Force and National Security Agency (NSA) and later a defense contractor working for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) — for providing a reporter with classified government information. The reporter in question, although unnamed in the indictment, is Jeremy Scahill, co-founder of and journalist for the online publication The Intercept . The indictment against Hale makes him the third Intercept source to be charged with leaking classified information to the outlet in less than two years. Notably, both of the government whistleblowers that have already been prosecuted and convicted by the Trump administration – Reality Winner and Terry Albury – were Intercept sources who were outed as whistleblowers by reporters working for the online publication. The publication, which has long been associated with the documents shar

While reaping $21 billion windfall from Trump tax cuts, report shows, AT&T slashed 23,000 jobs

AT&T promised to create thousands of new jobs as President Donald Trump's tax legislation moved through Congress in 2017—but the telecom giant has done precisely the opposite since the bill became law, while raking in over $20 billion in extra profits. That's according to an analysis published Monday by the Communications Workers of America (CWA), which found that AT&T has slashed 23,328 jobs since Congress passed Trump's tax bill in 2017, including nearly 6,000 in the first quarter of 2019 alone. Meanwhile, according to CWA, AT&T has reaped $21 billion in tax cuts thanks to the Republican law, with $3 billion in annual savings expected in the future. " What AT&T is doing to hardworking people across America is disgraceful, " CWA president Chris Shelton said in a statement. " Taxpayers aren't going to let AT&T get away with receiving over $21 billion in tax cuts and then destroying the livelihoods of tens of thousands of people. "

When the term antisemitism is cheapened by false usage on the right, it gives cover to the real antisemites

Hatred of Jews terrifies me. So do false accusations of antisemitism.   by Aaron Freedman On 27 June 1941, the Nazis marched into the Polish city of Bialystok. In this once vibrant, cosmopolitan city where Jews had made up two-thirds of the residents, German troops went door to door, pulling Jews into the streets. The lucky ones were shot. Much of the rest – including my great-great-grandparents, their children and their grandchildren – were packed into the Great Synagogue. The doors were locked. Grenades were tossed into the building. And then, my family was burnt alive. For years I had almost forgotten this story. But last fall it came violently into my mind, as I read the reports of a shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. It has haunted me ever since, though most intensely since the synagogue shooting in Poway, California, last month. And all of a sudden, I am feeling something that I never could have imagined before: the same antisemitism that so horrifically

Η ΕΡΤ δεν ξανάνοιξε για να στηρίζει εγκλήματα πολέμου

του Άρη Χατζηστεφάνου Αυτές τις ημέρες η κρατική τηλεόραση θα μεταδώσει σε χιλιάδες τηλεθεατές τη Eurovision 2019, ουσιαστικά δηλαδή έναν διαγωνισμό που μετατράπηκε από την κυβέρνηση του Ισραήλ σε τεράστιο μηχανισμό προπαγάνδας – αρχικά για να παρουσιαστεί η Ιερουσαλήμ σαν πρωτεύουσα του κράτους του Ισραήλ και στη συνέχεια για να συγκαλυφθούν τα σχεδόν καθημερινά εγκλήματα πολέμου και εγκλήματα κατά της ανθρωπότητας. Για όσο διάστημα η διοίκηση της ΕΡΤ, σε συνεργασία με την κυβέρνηση και την EBU, προετοίμαζαν την κάλυψη της Eurovision, ο ισραηλινός στρατός σκότωσε περίπου 200 Παλαιστίνιους. Στις περισσότερες περιπτώσεις πρόκειται για εν ψυχρώ εκτελέσεις από ελεύθερους σκοπευτές, οι οποίοι αφού εντοπίσουν το θύμα τους λαμβάνουν σχετική άδεια από τον τοπικό διοικητή για να το δολοφονήσουν. Πολλά από τα θύματα ήταν παιδιά, γυναίκες και νοσηλευτικό προσωπικό, που έδινε μάχη με το χρόνο για να σώσει άλλους τραυματίες. Χιλιάδες ακόμη Παλαιστίνιοι κινδυνεύουν να ακρωτηριαστουν, καθ

Και την έβδομη ημέρα, ο Κυριάκος δημιούργησε τον εργασιακό μεσαίωνα

How GMO seeds and Monsanto/Bayer’s “RoundUp” are driving US policy in Venezuela

With Juan Guaidó’s parallel government attempting to take power with the backing of the U.S., it is telling that the top political donors of those in the U.S. most fervently pushing regime change in Venezuela have close ties to Monsanto and major financial stakes in Bayer. by Whitney Webb Part 3 - The AEI axis Some of the key figures and loudest voices supporting the efforts of the Trump administration to overthrow the Venezuelan government in the United States are well-connected to one particular think-tank, the American Enterprise Institute (AEI). For instance, John Bolton — now Trump’s national security advisor and a major player in the administration’s aggressive Venezuela policy — was a senior fellow at AEI until he became Trump’s top national security official. As national security adviser, Bolton advises the president on foreign policy and issues of national security while also advising both the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense. As of late, he has

The propaganda multiplier - how global news agencies and Western media report on geopolitics

This study by Swiss Propaganda Research was first published in 2016, it is presented by off-guardian.org in English for the first time. Translated by Terje Maloy. It is one of the most important aspects of our media system – and yet hardly known to the public: most of the international news coverage in Western media is provided by only three global news agencies based in New York, London and Paris. The key role played by these agencies means that Western media often report on the same topics, even using the same wording. In addition, governments, military and intelligence services use these global news agencies as multipliers to spread their messages around the world. A study of the Syria war coverage by nine leading European newspapers clearly illustrates these issues: 78% of all articles were based in whole or in part on agency reports, yet 0% on investigative research . Moreover, 82% of all opinion pieces and interviews were in favor of the US and NATO intervention ,
