Inside the “humanitarian” regime-change network exploiting Jo Cox’s death

From the Kosovo Protection Corps in the Balkans to the White Helmets of Syria, a group of well-connected people with the fundings of governments and elite billionaires have sought to wage a war on public opinion and have recently exploited Jo Cox’s death to do so. by Vanessa Beeley and Whitney Webb Part 9 - Conclusion From the Kosovo Protection Corps in the Balkans to the White Helmets of Syria, a group of well- connected people with the fundings of governments and elite billionaires have sought to wage a war on public opinion and to maintain a monopoly on the prevailing narrative. By using time-tested strategies to mobilize public outrage within the very countries whose governments fund and promote these emissaries of false “humanitarian” narratives, these individuals and those behind them seek to pull at our heart strings in order to manufacture public consent for destructive regime-change operations that leave a trail of bloodshed and failed states in t

Από τον Πινοσέτ στον Ομπάμα, μια ΔΕΘ δρόμος

Το "άνοιγμα" του Κυριάκου Μητσοτάκη στην "κεντροαριστερά", ενδεχομένως και σε αμοραλιστική βάση, προκάλεσε σε πολλούς μειδίαμα. Ο Πρόεδρος της ΝΔ, μετά από μια μακρά περίοδο ακροδεξιάς στροφής του κόμματος, κατά την επίσκεψή του στη ΔΕΘ επιχείρησε να αποτινάξει την ταμπέλα του "ακροδεξιού". "Είμαστε μια φιλελεύθερη, λαϊκή, μετριοπαθής, ενωτική κεντροδεξιά παράταξη. Η ΝΔ δεν έχει ακροδεξιούς", δήλωσε, ενώ στην πρώτη γραμμή καθόταν ο Άδωνις Γεωργιάδης, τον οποίο ο ίδιος τοποθέτησε στην αντιπροεδρία του κόμματος, που έχει ως κοινοβουλευτικό εκπρόσωπο τον Μάκη Βορίδη. Και πριν "χαθεί" το μειδίαμα, στέλεχος της ΝΔ στην Πάτρα δικαιολογούσε τους χρυσαυγίτες που ξυλοκόπησαν μέλος της Νεολαίας ΣΥΡΙΖΑ με το επιχείρημα ότι είναι αντιφασίστας. Εξάλλου, η θέση "καταδικάζουμε τη βία από όπου κι αν προέρχεται" έχει παρέλθει. Πως αλλιώς να εξηγηθεί πως δεν έχει υπάρξει η παραμικρή καταδίκη της βίας των "μακεδονομάχων&q

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - neoliberal establishment 0-3 ... so far

globinfo freexchange More than a month ago, we identified an immediate mobilization of the establishment machine to push progressives into the establishment lines after the 'shocking' victory of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Under the fierce pressure of the corporate media, Cortez was essentially forced to declare loyalty to Nancy Pelosi. That was a first, significant victory of the establishment against Cortez and the progressive movement. After that, we saw an unexplained and bizarre contribution of both Bernie Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez to the establishment pro-McCain 'litanies'. In this totally unnecessary self-recruitment for the McCain's legacy whitewash operation, Cortez retreated unconditionally and the establishment marked a second victory against her. Now, the establishment 'scored' one more time, as Cortez was forced to endorse establishment's agent, Andrew Cuomo. We mentioned already that c orporate me

Free Press advocates alarmed by US government's "terrifying" secret rules for spying on journalists

Journalists and free press advocates are responding with alarm to newly released documents revealing the U.S. government's secret rules for using Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court orders to spy on reporters, calling the revelations "important" and "terrifying." The documents—obtained and released by the Freedom of the Press Foundation and the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University through an ongoing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed last November—confirm long held suspicions that federal officials can target journalists with FISA orders. The two 2015 memos from former Attorney General Eric Holder to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) lay out procedures to ensure that the attorney general or deputy attorney general signs off on any FISA applications " targeting known media entities or known members of the media. " These secret rules, as Cora Currier reported for The Intercept, &

Saudi airstrike kills four at Yemen radio station

Saudi warplanes carried out an airstrike against the vital Yemeni aid port of Hodeidah on Sunday, hitting a radio station and killing four people. According to the Houthi movement, the slain were employees at the station. Saudi officials have been escalating airstrikes against Hodeidah in recent days, but they declined comment to the press on why a radio station was attacked. Previous airstrikes have hit the fishing port and a bus depot in the city. Hodeidah is the main aid port in Yemen, and is estimated to supply 70% of the nation’s food. It is the only port under Houthi control, and subsequently the lone source of aid for the entire north of the country. Its accessibility is in doubt, with Saudi-backed forces having seized the roads on the outskirts. The UN has been trying to prevent the fighting from reaching the city itself, where hundreds of thousands in the city could be in mortal danger, and millions of lives could hang in the balance across Yemen. So far,

The Troika’s Policy in Greece: Rob the Greek people and give the money to private banks, the ECB, the IMF and the dominant States of the Eurozone

On 20 August 2018, the Greek government of Alexis Tsipras, the IMF and the European leaders celebrated the end of the Third Memorandum. On this occasion, the major media and those in power spread the following message: Greece has regained its freedom, its economy is improving, unemployment is on the decline, Europe has lent Greece 300 billion and the Greeks will have to start repaying that debt in 2022 or in 2032. The main claims are completely unfounded as Greece remains under the control of its creditors. In compliance with the accords that the Alexis Tsipras government signed, the country must imperatively achieve a primary budgetary surplus of 3.5% which will force it to continue brutal policies of reduction of public spending in the social sector and in investment. Contrary to the dominant message that Greece will not begin to repay its debt until some time in the future, it should be clearly understood that Greece has been repaying considerable amounts constantly all al

China to impose new tariffs on US goods worth $60 billion effective September 24

The Chinese Ministry of Commerce announced on Tuesday that the country will retaliate against Trump’s new tariffs with its own 5-10 percent levies on $60 billion of US goods. The tariffs will be kick in on September 24. The announcement came shortly after the US President Donald Trump revealed additional tariffs on around $200 billion in Chinese goods. The US tariffs will come into effect on September 24, set at a level of 10 percent until the end of the year. From January 1, 2019, the tariffs will be reportedly raised to 25 percent. “ The US insists on increasing tariffs, which brings new uncertainty to the consultations between the two sides. It is hoped that the US will recognize the possible negative consequences of such actions and take convincing means to correct them in a timely manner, ” the ministry said in a statement.

Μητσοτάκης όπως Μάκρι: οι νεοφιλελεύθεροι ταλιμπάν της δεξιάς ετοιμάζουν την επιστροφή της συμμορίας του ΔΝΤ

globinfo freexchange Η συμμορία του ΔΝΤ είναι έτοιμη να επιστρέψει στην Ελλάδα με κυβέρνηση Μητσοτάκη. Η νεοφιλελεύθερη δεξιά είναι αδύνατον να κρύψει την τυφλή της προσήλωση στο νεοφιλελεύθερο δόγμα και τα στελέχη της ΝΔ φροντίζουν να το επιβεβαιώνουν όπου σταθούν και όπου βρεθούν. Αποκορύφωμα επιβεβαίωσης αυτής της τυφλής πίστης υπήρξε το νεοφιλελεύθερο πρελούδιο Μητσοτάκη από τη φετινή ΔΕΘ που μας προϊδεάζει για το τι μας περιμένει στη συνέχεια με μια αυτοδύναμη κυβέρνηση ΝΔ. Το έργο το έχουμε ξαναδεί στην Αργεντινή. Όπως πολύ εύστοχα αναλύει ο Άρης Χατζηστεφάνου: Σύμφωνα με την επικρατούσα αφήγηση, όταν κυβερνούν αντιδραστικές, νεοφιλελεύθερες κυβερνήσεις, οι οικονομικές κρίσεις που ξεσπούν οφείλονται στην θητεία προηγούμενων πολιτικών, οι οποίοι έλαβαν φιλολαϊκά μέτρα. Αντίθετα όταν η χώρα γνωρίζει τρομακτικούς ρυθμούς ανάπτυξης και εκατομμύρια άνθρωποι ανασύρονται από την απόλυτη φτώχεια (ακριβώς γιατί ορισμένοι αγνόησαν την οικονομική ορθοδοξία), τα
