Submitted by Tyler Durden:Last month, US Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard went on CNN and laid bare Washington’s Syria strategy.
In a remarkably candid interview with Wolf Blitzer, Gabbard calls Washington’s effort to oust Assad “counterproductive”and“illegal” before taking it a step further and accusing the CIA of arming the very same terrorists who The White House insists are"sworn enemies.” In short, Gabbard all but tells the American public that the government is lying to them and may end up inadvertently starting“World War III.” For those who missed it, here’s the clip:
By Paul Craig Roberts:Washington has learned that threats and coercion do not work against Russia. All the threats have done is to build Putin’s public support to astronomical levels and to unify Russia against the West’s assault. This is a failed policy that Washington is abandoning as Washington sees a new opportunity in Russia’s desire for Western cooperation, not only against ISIL but also on a wide range of other issues. Realizing that guile can be more effective than the stick, the West is moving toward drawing Russia into the Western system by offering a coalition against ISIL. Once Russia is in a coalition against ISIL, Russia will lose control. This is Washington’s strategy for counteracting the initiative that Russia seized in Syria. Once Russia is in a coalition against ISIL, Russia will have to make compromises. Putin will be told that Russia can have ISIL, but Russia has to turn Assad’s fate over to the West. If Putin balks, the Western media will blame Putin for topedoing the war against ISIL.
Anti-Media Staff: Coca-Cola is increasingly criticized for its use of unhealthy ingredients and poor business practices. In spite of its increasingly bad reputation, some details of its operations remain little-known. Here are five of Coke’s darkest secrets:
5. Cocaine
Coca-Cola was originally called Pemberton’s French Wine Coca and contained a mixture of Peruvian coca leaves, kola nut, damiana, and cocaethylene (cocaine mixed with alcohol). Druggist John Stith Pemberton invented his French Wine Coca in Atlanta, Georgia and it became very popular across the southeastern United States. Once Atlanta introduced prohibition in 1886, Pemberton responded by creating a non-alcoholic version of his already popular beverage. The wine ingredient was replaced with sugar syrup and the new concoction was called Coca-Cola. The soda was marketed for its medicinal effects and became very popular among high-class white society. It was referred to by many as an “intellectual beverage.”
Many members of the Hollywood community are very liberal and they value their civil liberties more than they value life. I disagree with that. You want to be free and dead? I’d rather be not free and alive. The reality is that certain things that are unacceptable in times of peace — such as profiling, listening in on anyone and everybody who looks suspicious, or interviewing Muslims in a more intense way than interviewing Christian refugees — is all acceptable [during war]. – Haim Saban, Israeli-American billionaire who has donated $2 million to Hillary Clinton SuperPAC Just in case you’re wondering what the people bankrolling Hillary Clinton’s Presidential campaign think about civil liberties, you now have your answer. Here’s what billionaire Haim Saban had to say about civil liberties during an interview with The Wrap:
Mike Buchanan: Three weeks ago John Barry, a psychologist, gave the first lecture of the Gender Equity Network. Extracts totalling 13. The introduction is made by Belinda Brown, a social anthropologist.
People in the occupied West Bank have held separate funerals for two Palestinians shot dead by Jewish Israeli green shirt death squads. Hundreds of people in al-Khalil joined the funeral of a young man who was shot by Israeli forces on Thursday. 24-year-old Shadi Arafeh was shot dead by Israeli troops following a car ramming attack in the West Bank. Also in Anata village, hundreds of Palestinians joined a funeral procession held for Mahmoud Eleyn. The 22-year-old succumbed to his wounds a week after Israeli forces shot him in the head with a live bullet in Ramallah. Tensions on occupied Palestinian lands have been on the rise over Tel Aviv’s restrictions on the al-Aqsa Mosque as well as its illegal settlement expansions. 92 Palestinians including children, have been killed in the spate of violence that started in October.
In time of actual war, great discretionary powers are constantly given to the Executive Magistrate. Constant apprehension of War, has the same tendency to render the head too large for the body. A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The means of defence against foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at home. Among the Romans it was a standing maxim to excite a war, whenever a revolt was apprehended. Throughout all Europe, the armies kept up under the pretext of defending, have enslaved the people. – James Madison, Founding Father and 4th President of the United States
By Michael Krieger: Politicians and intelligence agencies throughout the Western world are currently engaged in an all out, shameless propaganda campaign to exploit the recent terror attacks in Paris to convince the citizenry that it should relinquish privacy for absolutely no reason. The primary targets of the post-attack push have been encryption generally, and Bitcoin specifically. Of course, you don’t need me to tell you that these are two sides of the same coin. Both strong encryption for communication, and Bitcoin for transferring value, provide a level of freedom and dynamism outside of the oligarch-controlled, centrally planned, feudal global economic system. As such, these two tools must be demonized and eradicated to the extent possible.
By Peter Lloyd: If there’s one person who epitomises the University of York’s notable alumni, it’s Harriet Harman. The Labour MP studied politics there in the early 1970s before becoming a lawyer and, subsequently, a politician who — not long ago — believed that touring Britain in a pink van might dismantle the ‘patriarchy’ (otherwise known as civilisation, to you and I; something men created, but women have long enhanced, benefited from and now co-own). Needless to say, she was wrong. On paper her approach may have had all the hallmarks of a PR success story, but in today’s climate it simply smacked of tired tactics. Still, by the University of York’s standards, it was probably A-grade stuff. After all, stale with esoteric feminist professors and their wacky take on reality, they too remain locked in Harman’s time-warped mindset. Earlier this week, the college u-turned plans for a modest International Men’s Day (IMD) meeting — even though it coincided with a parliamentary discussion on the 19 November event. The reason? Melodramatic ‘outrage’ from the sisterhood. Yep, rent-a-gob gender warriors — who, I often find, are some of the most privileged people in the world — decided that men responsibly discussing their collective issues (suicide, schools failing boys, fathers’ rights, violent partners, MGM, the life expectancy gap, etc) without feminist supervision was too risky of inducing a riot — or, at the very least, a hashtag.
By David Duke: Jonathan Pollard, the man that prosecutors and Defense Secretary Casper Weinberger said was “the most damaging spy in U.S. history,” will be released today after intense Jewish lobby pressure. The move is an apparent quid pro quo for the Iran nuclear deal, which, despite the protests of hardline war hawks like Netanyahu, was itself done for Israel. Here is the quotes from a Los Angeles Times from November 20 ,2015.
Even though the focus has been on Pollard he was sent by Israel to spy on America and the greatest damage to America came from Israel’s giving the information to the Soviet Union which caused the wiping out of much of America’s Communist spy network and the murder of hundreds of American operatives.
Westminster Hall - Thursday 19 November 2015 - [Mike Gapes in the Chair] - Backbench Business - Male Suicide and International Men’s Day - 1.30 pm
