Syria – Assad has gone and HTS has taken over – was it a ‘surprise’ or a deal brokered by ‘Art of the Deal’ Trump or others? Susan Lindauer, peace campaigner and ex CIA agent, how Assad’s father had a contract out on her, but she’s not pro the new government. Trump calls on ‘weakened’ Russia to enact ceasefire in Ukraine after Kremlin ally Assad is toppled in Syria President-elect Donald Trump urged Russia to negotiate a halt to the fighting in Ukraine following to fall of the Assad regime in Syria — saying the Kremlin was in a “weakened state” as a result of the war and the “bad economy.” “There should be an immediate ceasefire and negotiations should begin. Too many lives are being so needlessly wasted, too many families destroyed, and if it keeps going, it can turn into something much bigger, and far worse,” Trump, 78, posted on Truth Social early Sunday. The incoming president met with President Volodymyr Zelensky and French President Emmanuel Macron Saturday. POOL/AFP via Getty Images Moscow has been skeptical about a ceasefire — at least in the public eye, contending that it would give Kyiv time to regroup and strengthen its defense. The Kremlin has demanded Ukraine pull out of Russian-annexed territory in the besieged country despite not having full control over it. The incoming president, who has long signaled a strong desire to end the war, huddled with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and French President Emmanuel Macron during the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris on Saturday. Trump, who has at times expressed a fascination with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, remarked about how feeble Moscow appeared in Syria after the shocking and swift fall of Bashar al-Assad, whom Russia backed with troops, aircraft and navy ships. “Assad is gone. He has fled his country. His protector, Russia, Russia, Russia, led by Vladimir Putin, was not interested in protecting him any longer,” Trump mused. “They lost all interest in Syria because of Ukraine, where close to 600,000 Russian soldiers lay wounded or dead, in a war that should never have started, and could go on forever. “Russia and Iran are in a weakened state right now, one because of Ukraine and a bad economy, the other because of Israel and its fighting success.” Some analysts have speculated that Russia is scrambling to strengthen its hand at a possible future negotiating table ahead of Trump’s inauguration. Moscow has made significant territorial gains in Ukraine over recent weeks. Trump has long made clear his intent to end the brutal war unfolding between Kyiv and Moscow, though he has been light on specifics about how he’d end it. “Likewise, Zelenskyy and Ukraine would like to make a deal and stop the madness. They have ridiculously lost 400,000 soldiers, and many more civilians,” he added on Truth Social. “Too many lives are being so needlessly wasted, too many families destroyed, and if it keeps going, it can turn into something much bigger, and far worse.” Following his meeting with Trump, Zelensky, 46, underscored his desire for “a just and enduring peace” and blasted Putin for being “addicted to war.”
Douma and Goutha ‘chemical weapons’ attacks wrongly blamed on president Assad just Western ‘big lie’ propaganda. Syria’s Assad blamed for Chemical weapons attacks which NATO intelligence services carried out. Watchdog probe in Syria. Israelis bombed suspected chemical weapons in Golan Heights. Patrizia poem. Syrian forces discover UK, German-made chemical weapons depot in Douma Syria’s government forces have discovered a depot of German and UK-manufactured chemical weapons left by terrorists in the town of Douma, a Syrian official says. “In the depot with chemical weapons left by terrorists in Douma, we have found chemicals from Germany, the United Kingdom, from the Porton-Down laboratory in Salisbury,” Russia’s Sputnik news agency cited Syria’s Deputy Ambassador to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) Ghassan Obaid as saying after a briefing in The Hague on Thursday. Obaid called on OPCW inspectors to visit the site and expressed hope that the inspection will ultimately prove the allegations against Damascus to be wrong. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s had said earlier that containers with chlorine and smoke bombs made in the UK and Germany had been discovered in the territories freed from militants in Eastern Ghouta region in the suburb of the capital city of Damascus. The Fact-Finding Mission from the OPCW, which has been deployed to Syria since April 14 to probe the Douma incident, visited a second site in the town on Wednesday and collected samples from the location. The new samples, together with other samples, will be taken to the OPCW laboratory in The Netherlands for further examination. Also at the Thursday press conference in The Hague, the OPCW representatives of Syria and Russia presented witnesses who were used in staged videos of the recent suspected chemical attack in the Syrian town of Douma. Russia’s Permanent Representative to the OPCW Alexander Shulgin described the recent suspected chemical weapons attack in Douma as a “provocation” that Moscow had warned about in advance. He said the only evidence for the alleged gas attack was a “sloppily staged” video shot by a pseudo-humanitarian organization in a bid to “touch hearts,” adding that the same strategy had been used in previous false flag attacks in Syria. Russia says the recent suspected chemical weapons attack in the Syrian town of Douma was a “provocation” that Moscow had warned about in advance. Western states blamed the Syrian government for the suspected chemical weapons attack in the Damascus suburb town of Douma on April 7. One week after the incident, the US, Britain and France launched a coordinated missile attack against sites and research facilities near Damascus and Homs with the purported goal of paralyzing the Syrian government’s capability to produce chemicals. Shulgin said the representatives of the three countries that launched the Syria strikes were absent at Thursday’s briefing because they were afraid to look into the eyes of the witnesses of the Douma incident. Syria has rejected the accusations of possessing chemicals. It surrendered its chemical stockpile in 2013 to a mission led by the OPCW and the UN. During the conference at The Hague, Syria’s deputy representative to the OPCW said the witnesses revealed “the false of allegations and lies of Western countries about the allegations of chemical use in Douma city.” Obaid also noted that all the chemical allegations against the Syrian government were leveled by Western countries to “distort” the Syrian army’s image that is conducting a counter-terrorism operation. He further said that Syria had sent more than 100 letters to the OPCW on terrorist groups’ plan to use chemical weapons in order to blame the Syrian army.
1982 Oded Yinon plan continuing? US citizens freed from Assad’s prisons. ISIS released. PRE-PLANNED ATTACKS Though the attack by the ISIS is sudden and intense, it did not come out of the blue. There were indeed reports warning against such an attack. The events unfolding also point out to the months of preparation and planning that might have gone into the attacks. It would be really a surprise, if the US – a country that spies and snoops on a majority of world citizens – claims that it too was caught unawares by the attack. Moreover, one should not forget that Iraqi prime minister Nouri al-Maliki went to the US and requested the administration to help the Iraqi government fight the growing threat of the ISIS. The Obama administration not only ignored his appeal, but has virtually snubbed him for not completely toeing their line in governing Iraq. While the US government had refused to help the Iraqi government to strike at one of the most dangerous terrorist organisations in the world, it is doing the same in eight other countries, overriding the concerns of the respective governments, all under the guise of fighting terrorism. Working closely with the US is its lackey Israel. Both of them are one in trying to break the sovereign States in the region on ethnic and sectarian lines. In fact, the idea that all the Arab states should be broken down into small units, occurs again and again in Israeli strategic thinking. Ze’ev Schiff, the military correspondent of Ha’aretz writes: “The dissolution of Iraq into a Shi’ite state, a Sunni state and the separation of the Kurdish part” (Ha’aretz February 6, 1982) as something best that can happen for Israeli interests. This is in consonance with an Israeli policy document, which states: “The dissolution of Syria and Iraq later on into ethnically or religiously unique areas such as in Lebanon, is Israel’s primary target on the Eastern front in the long run…” Further, “Iraq, rich in oil on the one hand and internally torn on the other, is guaranteed as a candidate for Israel’s targets. Its dissolution is even more important for us than that of Syria…In Iraq, a division into provinces along ethnic/religious lines as in Syria during Ottoman times is possible. So, three (or more) states will exist around the three major cities: Basra, Baghdad and Mosul, and Shi’ite areas in the south will separate from the Sunni and Kurdish north. It is possible that the present Iranian-Iraqi confrontation will deepen this polarisation”. Though sounding contemporary, this is, in fact, written some thirty years ago by Oded Yinon in A Strategy for Israel in the Nineteen Eighties. This strategy was elaborated and put into practice by the US since the start of the new millennium. Leslie H. Gelb, president emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations, wrote in New York Times (November 25, 2003) what the US should do in Iraq: “The only viable strategy, then, may be to correct the historical defect and move in stages toward a three-state solution: Kurds in the north, Sunnis in the center and Shiites in the south”. This was further elaborated as a policy perspective by the then secretary of state Condoleezza Rice, who termed it as a project for ‘New Middle East’. This project consists in creating an arc of instability, chaos, and violence extending from Lebanon, Palestine, Syria to Iraq, the Persian Gulf, Iran, and Afghanistan. This was introduced during the Israeli aggression on Lebanon in 2006. Introducing the project ‘New Middle East’, Rice had pointed out that “Lebanon would be the pressure point for realigning the whole Middle East and thereby unleashing the forces of ‘constructive chaos’”. Addressing a press conference she continued, “what we’re seeing here (the destruction of Lebanon and the Israeli attacks on Lebanon), in a sense, is the growing – the ‘birth pangs’ – of a ‘New Middle East’ and whatever we do, we (the US) have to be certain that we’re pushing forward to the New Middle East and not going back to the old one”. It is according to this plan that they have unleashed ‘constructive chaos’ in the entire West Asian region, to subsequently divide the existing countries on sectarian lines and gain access to their rich natural resources. This project was supported by both the Republicans and the Democrats. The Washington Post, (September 26, 2007) approvingly reports about a debate in the US Senate: “Showing rare bipartisan consensus over war policy, the Senate overwhelmingly endorsed a political settlement for Iraq that would divide the country into three semi-autonomous regions. The plan, conceived by Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Joseph R. Biden…envisions a federal government system for Iraq, consisting of separate regions for Iraq’s Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish populations”. It is the same Biden who is now the vice president of the US. Peter Galbraith, senior diplomatic fellow at the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation, was more forthright in an interview (November 12, 2008): “Of course, it’s very encouraging to me that Joe Biden is the incoming vice president. He has been the prime proponent of a decentralised Iraq…it is in fact what the Bush administration has done in part. Advertisement Privacy Settings
Scott Bennett dies suddenly, age 54, from pancreatic cancer, after getting back from Ukraine where he had been collecting evidence of Ukrainian war crimes – was Scott bumped off? His book ‘Shell Game’ about funding for Jihadi networks from the 1980s through the Union Bank of Switzerland. Black Rock – disaster capitalism wars and then takes over. Steven Pigeon – saying goodbye to Scott Bennett. Scott Bennett on RT – strategic communications. June 24 final time he was on Tony’s show – Ukraine. Ex-US Army officer and Press TV analyst Scott Bennett dies at 53 Saturday, 23 November 2024 Scott Bennett, a former US Army officer and long-time analyst for Press TV, has died at the age of 53 after a battle with pancreatic cancer. Bennett was known for his political commentary across various media outlets and travelled to Donbas in 2023 to gain firsthand insight into the situation on the ground. In 2014, he authored the book Shell Game: A Military Whistleblowing Report to Congress, which examined the role of former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and then-Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner in facilitating an arms sale to Qatar. Weapons sold as part of that deal ended up in the hands of the terrorist cult Daesh, according to Bennett. In June 2024, Bennett visited the Russian border region of Belgorod, where he witnessed Ukrainian shelling in the village of Saltykovo. He condemned the attacks as assaults on civilians. The following month, he prepared a report for the US Congress, accusing Ukrainian forces and foreign fighters of “systematically” and “intentionally” targeting civilians in both Belgorod and Donbas. “Non-military targets are being attacked, irreparably damaged or destroyed, and civilians are being intentionally murdered as a result,” Bennett stated in his report, which criticized the Biden administration for making the US a “legally culpable party to international war crimes” through its support of Ukraine’s actions. Bennett also reported facing “death threats and threats of violence” from the Ukrainian government, military personnel, and media during his investigation. He also received similar threats from American and NATO “elements and agents” backing Kiev’s cause. He published his findings on Telegram, asserting that he was not “suicidal in any way.” “If anything happens to me, it will be in order to try and bury this report.”
EXCLUSIVE: Fatima gives a report from Gaza – food deliberately targeted by IDF. War on Gaza: Nearly one million Palestinians at risk during winter, Unrwa says UN agency warns that aid is urgently needed in the enclave amid a worsening crisis The UN agency for Palestinian refugee (Unrwa) has warned that 945,000 Palestinians in Gaza are at risk of exposure to harsh winter conditions, as the humanitarian crisis in the enclave deepens. Displaced families need protection from rain and cold, Unrwa said on X, adding that only 23 percent of this need has been met. “Unrwa continues to provide support, distributing plastic tarpaulins and installing tents to offer temporary shelter and protection from the harsh conditions. Aid is urgently required to address the overwhelming needs as the crisis deepens,” the agency added. According to the latest report published by Unrwa on Thursday, the Israeli war on Gaza has displaced at least 1.9 million people in the war-battered enclave, which makes up about 90 percent of the population. Some have been displaced 10 or more times. The agency indicated that there are several problems hindering humanitarian supplies from entering into Gaza, including “deteriorating law and order, war and insecurity, damaged infrastructure, fuel shortages and access restrictions”. Moreover, food security across Gaza is collapsing, leaving people in a “state of sheer desperation,” according to the report. In one case last month, two girls and a woman were tragically killed in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza due to overcrowding outisde one of the few bakeries still operational. Philippe Lazzarini, the general commissioner of Unrwa, raised concern over the worsening “humanitarian disaster” in the enclave. “We are running out of words. Hunger and disease are rampant,” he said in a post on X. “Humanitarians must be enabled to do their job. Hurdles to aid must be removed without further delay, otherwise more lives will be lost. This keeps testing our shared humanity”. ‘A crime against humanity’ Aid access to northern Gaza has been especially challenging, leaving between 65,000 and 75,000 people without access to necessities such as food, water, electricity or reliable healthcare, according to Unrwa’s report. “Intense military operations are ongoing amid a near total lack of humanitarian aid entering the area, in addition to severe communications and internet disruptions. Some parts of the North Gaza governorate have been under a tightened siege for 60 days,” the report says. Balakrishnan Rajagopal, a law professor at MIT and UN special rapporteur on the right to housing, told Middle East Eye that Israel bears responsibility as a state for “all of these grave breaches of international law”. “Imposing a siege, preventing all access to food, water, medicine and shelter, all with an intention to force a population to leave, is textbook ethnic cleansing and is a grave crime under international law. It is both a war crime and a crime against humanity,” Rajagopal said. “Forcible displacement in northern Gaza under conditions of siege with an intent to eliminate their presence is genocidal, as it aims at the destruction of a people,” he added. Israel has imposed a blackout on northern Gaza for over two months as part of a military plan that has severely hindered residents from contacting the outside world and sharing information about what they are enduring. Despite this, horrific reports of starvation, bombardment and displacement are still emerging. Israeli media, analysts and military officials – as well as Palestinians in Gaza – say that the current campaign corresponds to the so-called “Generals’ Plan”, also known as the Eiland Plan. The plan aims to effectively ethnically cleanse north Gaza of Palestinians before declaring the area a closed military zone.
The Queen wouldn’t let Israelis in the Palace as she thought they were all terrorists. The late Queen Elizabeth believed every Israeli was “either a terrorist or a son of a terrorist” and refused to allow Israeli officials into Buckingham Palace “apart from international occasions”, former Israeli president Reuven Rivlin has said. “The relationship between us [Israel] and Queen Elizabeth was a little bit difficult,” Rivlin told a gala event celebrating Haifa’s Technion Institute of Technology in London on Sunday night. Rivlin served as the 10th president of Israel between 2014 and 2021, while the queen died in 2022. After her death, Stuart Polak, the honorary president of the influential Conservative Friends of Israel group (CFoI), claimed that “the royal family were prohibited by the Foreign Office from visiting Israel”. Queen Elizabeth ‘refused to allow Israeli officials inside Buckingham Palace’ Former Israeli president Reuven Rivlin says late British monarch thought every Israeli was ‘either a terrorist or a son of a terrorist’ The late Queen Elizabeth believed every Israeli was “either a terrorist or a son of a terrorist” and refused to allow Israeli officials into Buckingham Palace, former Israeli president Reuven Rivlin has said. “The relationship between us [Israel] and Queen Elizabeth was a little bit difficult,” Rivlin told a gala event celebrating Haifa’s Technion Institute of Technology in London on Sunday night. Rivlin served as the 10th president of Israel between 2014 and 2021, while the queen died in 2022. The former president said the queen “believed that every one of us was either a terrorist or a son of a terrorist”. He added: “She refused to accept any Israeli official into [Buckingham] Palace, apart from international occasions”. Later asked about his comments, he doubled down on them: “These are my words, this is what I said.” History of strained relations The queen was often thought to have had a strained relationship with Israel. Despite her visiting more than 120 countries and travelling around a million miles during her 70 years on the throne, she never visited the country. In September 2022 after Elizabeth’s death, Stuart Polak, the honorary president of the influential Conservative Friends of Israel group (CFoI), claimed that “the royal family were prohibited by the Foreign Office from visiting Israel”. Others have given alternative interpretations. Writing in 2012 of the queen’s failure to visit Israel, the former Haaretz editor-in-chief David Landau said: “This marvellous, dedicated, 86-year-old sovereign is nobody’s puppet. “If she wanted to visit the Jewish state or have one of her close family visit it, she could insist on it, and get her way.” Some have speculated that Elizabeth had a negative attitude to Israel due to the violent insurgency waged against the British mandate in Palestine by Zionist armed groups in the 1940s, before Israel’s declaration of independence. Visiting Jordan in 1984, she reportedly said “How frightening” when Israeli fighter jets flew past in the sky in view of the occupied West Bank. Queen Nour, King Hussein of Jordan’s wife, was said to have replied: “It’s terrible.” Later, Queen Elizabeth was reportedly shown a map depicting the locations of illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank and said: “What a depressing map.” Former Israeli president Rivlin’s comments have sparked a flurry of humorous social media posts online depicting the late monarch wearing a keffiyeh, a Palestinian scarf.
Israeli war criminals won’t be arrested in UK? American Indian genocide. Israeli army chief given special immunity to visit Britain Exclusive: IDF chief of staff Herzi Halevi was given a “special mission” certificate for his trip to the UK last month, allowing him to visit without fear of arrest for war crimes. The UK government has confirmed that Israel’s top soldier, Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi, was given special diplomatic immunity to visit Britain last month. Halevi is the Chief of the General Staff of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), and has been directing the Israeli military’s operations throughout the Gaza genocide. He arrived in Britain in late November to discuss “the ongoing conflicts in Lebanon and Gaza” with senior UK officials from the Ministry of Defence and Foreign Office. A further meeting was held with Britain’s attorney general, Richard Hermer. The trip came just three days after the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant for “crimes against humanity and war crimes”. Halevi was initially reported to have been included in the ICC’s arrest applications for the crime of having “deliberately starved Palestinians in Gaza”. While Halevi was not ultimately named in those ICC warrants, it is possible to issue private arrest applications in Britain under universal jurisdiction legislation, which allows for the most serious crimes to be prosecuted regardless of where they are committed. However, the UK government blocked this avenue for redress by issuing Halevi with a “special mission certificate”, granting him temporary diplomatic immunity for the duration of the visit. In response to a parliamentary question from Labour MP Brian Leishman, the Foreign Office yesterday admitted it “gave consent for special mission status for the visit to the UK on 24-25 November of Lieutenant General Herzl Halevi… and [his] delegation”. The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) told Declassified: “It seems beyond belief that the UK attorney general could meet with the head of the IDF, mere days after arrest warrants were issued for Netanyahu and Gallant. “Halevi may not yet have an arrest warrant himself, but regardless, the International Criminal Court Act 2001 obliges the UK to investigate, arrest and prosecute suspected war criminals.” ICJP spokesman Jonathan Purcell said it was “utterly reckless” for the attorney general to have met Halevi, “not least as it will undermine the UK’s global position by associating so closely with a pariah state”.

America’s Syrian Gulag To those who know about the United States’ continued presence in Syria supporting the Kurdish separatists and their military known as the Syrian Democratic Force [SDF], it is commonly said that the American motive is to steal Syrian oil and grain. One would also wonder how much nine hundred soldiers could accomplish, but of course as usual they are actually there as hostages, to ensure that in Syria cannot try to retake this area without killing Americans and thus unleashing the wrath of the U.S. government. This prison network provides another important angle to the occupation. While the prisons in Syrian Kurdistan are not secret, they are also not well known. However, CNN (of all places) recently featured an excellent investigation exposing that more than 50,000 humans are kept in a network of twenty-seven facilities in Syria. CNN’s chief international correspondent Clarissa Ward was given rare access to the prisons and her reporting is illuminating. All of the inmates are denied access to any form of legal process and have no chance of release besides a vague hope that their home countries may repatriate them. Everything the United States has done in Syria, of course, it has been done in the name of human rights; but it seems to be the case that all of these individuals would have had a better chance of receiving some form of trial and definite sentencing under the government of the Syrian Arab Republic. At the very least, they could not be denied a legal process to a greater extent than they currently are. There are two primary categories of prisoners the U.S.-funded facilities are holding in Syria. The first are accused Islamic State terrorists—most of them probably are fighters captured by the SDF, but in the absence of a legal process it is impossible to know—and families of Islamic State militants. The largest prison is known as “Panorama” and holds 4,000 inmates. According to CNN, legal experts have called it, “A U.S.-funded legal black hole, worse than Guantanamo Bay.” Clarissa Ward was allowed to see two cells and speak to a handful of prisoners. The first thing one notices is that this is a “nice” facility. One would imagine the SDF would hold prisoners in some ancient Ottoman fortress, but this is clearly a modern and newly built prison for which the U.S. taxpayer has paid a fortune. It is overcrowded, but nothing like the images one commonly sees of third world prisons. Of course it was a managed tour, as Ward acknowledged in her report. The problem is that the inmates have been there for years and have no legal rights, though an SDF official claimed that they intend to reintegrate these people into society; it has just not been possible to make progress in that regard as no country will take them. While the men are mostly kept in conventional prisons, the women and children, who are not accused of any crime, are kept in what must be the world’s largest literal concentration camp, Al Hol. The camp holds 40,000 people. Five years after the fall of the caliphate there is no plan for what to do with the individuals stored at this desert camp. Many of the women remain ideologically committed, though Ward also spoke to one former American citizen who has fully turned against IS and even stopped covering in the camp, but she has had her U.S. citizenship stripped on grounds that there was an error in her naturalization process. At a certain age—supposedly eighteen, but according to inmates as early as fourteen—the boys are removed from the camp and sent to the prisons to stop the teens from marrying and producing a “new generation of Islamic extremists.” While the conditions appear to to be broadly humane, if bleak, it is indeed hard to imagine a better breeding ground for radical Islam than this desert city of IS wives denied human rights by a United States proxy. It is of course the case that IS arose from American managed prisons in Iraq in the first place. The biggest question is why CNN was given this access, with the SDF volunteering information about a prison system which has been criticized by basically every major human rights organization. Based on the interviews it seems to me that the SDF wants out of this obligation. The United States is functionally making them run a Gulag Archipelago and even if they are paid for it, running the prisons consumes an enormous amount of man hours by personnel who could be put to other uses. Further, there is the constant risk of breakouts (as happened in 2022) and of terrorist groups trying to liberate the camp. However, the United States clearly has no other plan for the ultimate fate of these humans, unless they intend to use them to unleash a new wave of terrorism. This is simply yet another policy where our ruling class has no exit strategy. It seems that the U.S. will occupy northeast Syria forever, if only to imprison some 50,000 people without trial. The irony, of course, is that they will continue to justify their presence by saying they need to bring human rights to Syria, just not for those trapped in this desert Guantanamo.
Corbyn character assassin Lyons new head of strategic communications for Starmer. Fatima’s report from Gaza. US military demoralised after many stupid wars. Starmer appoints ex-Murdoch hack as ‘strategic communications’ chief Plus a Conservative think-tanker for good measure Hot on the heels of promoting the hard-right saboteur of Jeremy Corbyn, Morgan McSweeney, to be his recycled chief of staff after the (induced?) resignation of the controversial Sue Gray, Keir Starmer has appointed former Murdoch hack James Lyons as his head of ‘strategic communications’. Lyons worked as political editor Murdoch’s Sunday Times and played a part in promulgating the ‘Labour antisemitism’ smear, which McSweeney was confirmed recently to have orchestrated, writing for the Sunday Times in 2016 that Jeremy Corbyn’s son Tommy was ‘at the centre of a row over anti-semitism at York University’ because he had organised a play about Israel’s bombing of Gaza. In early 2017, Lyons was also ‘caught plotting against Corbyn‘ in a conversation, on a crowded train, with one of the most notorious right-wing councillors (at that time) on Labour’s national executive. Starmer has been widely and rightly condemned for his cosiness with Rupert Murdoch, including allegedly killing part two of the Leveson Inquiry into press wrongdoing at his behest and writing repeatedly for the hated, anti-working-class S*n. For good measure in his back-office ‘reshuffle’, Starmer has also appointed Vidhya Alakeson as his deputy chief of staff. Alakeson previously worked on a project for Conservative think-tank ‘Onward’ with Claire Ainsley, briefly Starmer’s ‘executive director of policy’. The reshuffle seems to be an attempt to create an appearance of change and action, while ensuring that Starmer will continue on the same appalling, red-Tory policy route and complicity in genocide that have made him the least popular prime minister, after three months in office, in the last three decades. When Morgan McSweeney met special advisers on Tuesday evening, he is said to have made a “pitch perfect” speech that rallied the troops after a bruising few weeks. A source in a government department said the chatter after the meeting was all “about Morgan’s appearance”. “He acknowledged that being a spad has been more like a nightmare than a dream job. It seemed to go down well but of course they want action, not just words.” The unhappiness in Labour ranks among special advisers – political appointees who support ministers – over their pay was just one of the rows that culminated in the downfall of Sue Gray, the former partygate investigator whom Sir Keir invested so much personal stock in hiring. She now finds herself as Sir Keir’s special envoy for the nations and regions, where she is not only expected to lose the £170,000 pay packet she was on – and which was leaked to the media in a successful attempt to damage her politically – but the unparalleled access she enjoyed to the prime minister. For some, Mr McSweeney’s reappointment as chief of staff is the precise rescue remedy the party needed after its first 100 days in power were marred by the row over freebies and donations, sending Sir Keir’s personal ratings plummeting. “Morgan is a much more political person with a vision of where the country should go and what we should be doing,” said one government source. “It’s wrong when people say Keir isn’t like that – it just wasn’t being translated properly.” The source acknowledged that while not all the problems would be fixed “overnight”, with Mr McSweeney at the helm “there will be a lot more drive from the centre”. “Look at how he changed the Labour Party. Morgan is a total workaholic who will create a greater sense of direction.” Another supporter said simply: “He will undoubtedly be a force for good.” For other more sceptical observers, the public humiliation of Ms Gray has provided a convenient opportunity for Mr McSweeney to paint himself as the saviour of the Labour Party once more and fixer of all its problems – problems he allowed to fester in an apparent attempt to destroy a rival. “You could critique Sue’s management style, you could say she didn’t facilitate access to Keir, you could say she took on too many things which generated backlogs and you could say had enemies in the Civil Service – but all of those things you could have said about anyone in that job,” one senior Whitehall figure told Sky News. “Morgan would stoke things up subtly. He would let things go wrong so he could blame Sue and see her out.” Videos of complete show – Essentials: Michael Hudson | Blackrock/Vanguard | Netanyahu at the 7/7 London Bombings | Tony on Brexit & (4th Reich) Traitors of Arnhem | Evolution | War between God & Lucifer | Plan for three World Wars | Devil Worship: The Rise Of Satanism | Nuclear Armed IDF Doomsday Cult | Aanirfan | Armageddonists I have known: Nick Land (1975-8) | George Monbiot (1995-8) | Manna for the Revelation Generation: CONSPIRACY CLASSICS, longer interviews/lectures Part Two – International news review, Accelerationist, Armageddonist reports and investigations
Farmers protesting about chancellor Rachel Reeves’ new inheritance tax in London. Tractors descend on London in Budget protest, as Bradshaw highlights farming pain to MPs An estimated 600 tractors, at least, descended on Westminster on Wednesday in a hugely impressive protest against the Autumn Budget’s impact on farming. The organisers, including Save British Farming (SBF) and Kent Fairness for Farmers, want the government to ditch reforms to Agricultural Property Relief (APR) that will impose 20% inheritance tax on farm businesses valued over £1m from April 2026. Many farmers feel they would be unable tio afford this, even with other allowances taking the threshold up to £3m in some cases, and it will force them to sell or break up the farm. Other grievances include planned tax hikes on double-cab pickups and fertiliser, the accelerated withdrawal of Basic Payments in England, and trade policies they say are undermining high UK standards. The London protest began with farmers assembling on Whitehall at 10.30am, followed by speeches at 12.45pm from prominent agricultural figures including North Wales hill farmer Gareth Wyn Jones, Berkshire farmer Colin Rayner, SBF founder Liz Webster and Kent farmers Jeff Gibson and David Catt, Farmers Weekly reports. Choking back tears, Mrs Webster addressed the crowd, saying: “This government wants to destroy the countryside like they say Thatcher destroyed the coal mines. “I give you my absolute pledge that I will fight every step of the way to ensure that we’re still here when Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are gone.” Mr Gibson’s children laid a wreath outside No 10 Downing Street alongside a placard that read ‘RIP British farming’, while a two-minute silence was held to pay tribute to farmers who had taken their own lives over IHT worries. A Land Rover towing a coffin circled Parliament Square, representing the “death” of farming under current government plans, the Farmers Weekly report added. In contrast, some tractors adorned with Christmas lights, blared horns and music as they passed the Houses of Parliament in a bid to ‘wake up the government’. Yorkshire protest Farmers in Yorkshire and Wales organised their own protests, with more than 120 tractors filling the city centre in a rally headlined ‘Save Family Farms’. Pig farmer Anna Longthorp, who organised the tractor run for local supporters unable to travel to London, told the BBC the support for the protest has been ‘tremendous’. “It has made me quite emotional, seeing people waving and clapping at us as we go past. We’re asset rich, cash poor as we have big assets in land. It is very valuable in the tractors that we drive, the kit that we need in order to do food for the nation, so we’re quite alone in that we’re price takers instead of price makers. “We don’t receive a price for any of the products, so some years we make a profit and some years we make a loss. So we just don’t have the liquidity to pay this tax. “We won’t stop until there is a change, we are a resilient industry and we’re standing shoulder to shoulder, we’ve got a huge support and don’t want to do anything to jeopardise that, but we will keep going.” Advertisement Privacy Settings
Jeremy Moody, secretary and adviser at Central Association for Agricultural Valuers, added that the tax changes would not discourage companies from snapping-up farmland, adding: “It is only individuals who die.” Over half of farmers who gain from tax loophole have ‘no involvement in farming in any way’ Alistair Carmichael, Chair of Rural Affairs Select Committee, on why can’t farms bought just for tax relief be taxed? Farms Not Factories – interviews with farmers at the protest in London. Hundreds of farmers in tractors descended on Westminster to protest, while MPs heard less than half of estates claiming agricultural relief made any income from farming in five years Farmers in tractors staged another protest over the government’s inheritance tax changes – despite fresh claims large landowners are the big winners from current rules. Hundreds descended on London, with go-slow demonstrations on dual carriageways in a number of other places. It marked a second day of action in the wake of Rachel Reeves’s Budget announcement that farms worth more than £1million will pay 20% inheritance tax from 2026. Farmers called the change “another kick in the teeth”, while some backed cutting off food supplies in the new year as “wake up call”. It came as MPs scrutinising the shake-up heard more than half those claiming a lucrative tax break to avoid death duties have “no involvement in farming in any way”. The 20% inheritance tax rate – half that for everyone else – replaces two types of relief worth up to 100%. Dr Arun Advani, director of Centre for the Analysis of Taxation, told the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee: “Less than half of the estates who are claiming agricultural relief have any income from farming anywhere in the five years before death. “About 44% of the claims are from people you would think of as farmers.” The others, he said, are “a mix of people who own a house and some pony paddocks or who own land and let it out to a lot of people but are not involved in any farming in any way.” The Mirror revealed this month how a quarter of all England’s farmland belongs to just 2,500 owners. The highly respected Institute for Fiscal Studies says those paying more tax under the changes would be heavily concentrated among large wealthy landowners. But Dr Advani warned, at 20%, the inheritance tax rate still made it attractive for the wealthy to buy up agricultural land, pushing up prices for genuine smaller family farmers who want to work the land themselves. Jeremy Moody, secretary and adviser at Central Association for Agricultural Valuers, added that the tax changes would not discourage companies from snapping-up farmland, adding: “It is only individuals who die.” Tom Bradshaw, president of the National Farmers’ Union, claimed Ms Reeves had refused to meet. He told the committee: “We have written to the Prime Minister asking for a pause to consult.” Mr Bradshaw became emotional at one stage as he warned some ill or older farmers may take their own lives to avoid their estates being hit with inheritance tax. Country Land and Business Association claims 70,000 farms could be affected annually but the government puts it at just 500. Tractors hocking their horns drove around Westminster’s Parliament Square, many decorated with signs that read: “No farmers, no food” and “Save British Farming”. Will Elliott, 50, drove his tractor three hours from his farm near Grafham, near Guildford in Surrey, to attend the protest. He said: “The industry is already down on its knees and this is just another kick in the teeth.”
Supermarket equity owners controlling food prices Vertical integration from farm, to distribution, to supermarket shelf. Monopolising the food supply! Kier Starmer this week on farmers. PMQs farming. Food giants are strangling Britain’s farmers and consumers. What’s the solution? Break them up The UK has a huge problem with monopolies – yet taking conglomerates apart is not as hard as you might think When British farmers protested outside the Houses of Parliament earlier this year, they sent 49 scarecrows, after a survey had found that 49% of UK fruit and vegetable farmers said they expected to go bust within a year. The scarecrows stood in for real farmers, who are mostly too afraid to speak out. One farmer told campaigners they had grown 60 tonnes of salad potatoes for a large UK supermarket, only for the supermarket to suddenly cancel the order, leaving the farmer “financially screwed”. The arbitrary power that supermarkets wield instils fear, which the supermarkets leverage to impose take-it-or-leave-it fees and other unfair conditions on farmers. The problem is our monopolised food system. Think of it as a vast profit machine shaped like an hourglass, with many food producers at the top, millions of consumers at the bottom, and a few dominant firms – such as giant supermarkets or global food traders – clustered at its narrowing neck, siphoning a cut from the passing traffic. This power ripples through global supply chains. Between 70% and 90% of commercial grain trading, for example, is now controlled by five giants, known as ABCCD: ADM, Bunge, Cofco, Cargill and Louis Dreyfus Company. Together, they handle the bread, cereals, meat and other food that lands on our plates. Bunge now wants to merge with a rival firm, Viterra, to create a single company, giving farmers even less choice as to who they can sell their produce to, and giving the combined firm more power to pay farmers less. Research from the University of Saskatchewan estimates this merger would cut $770m from annual farm incomes in western Canada alone. These two firms, incorporated in the tax havens of Switzerland and Jersey respectively, each operate in about 40 countries. So the annual damage, including to British farmers, would probably be in the billions. This monopolistic power hurts consumers too. According to research by the economists Jan Eeckhout and Jan de Loecker, average global markups – the prices companies charge for goods above the cost of producing them – have risen from around 21% above costs in 1980, to 61% today. So a pizza that may have cost you £12 if markets had been as un-concentrated as they were 45 years ago, may now cost £16. Think of the £4 difference as a private monopoly tax that nobody voted for. Here, monopoly power is the connecting thread linking supersize corporate profits with consumer pain, in a phenomenon dubbed “greedflation”. The sums involved are vast. Forthcoming research by Somo, an NGO that studies multinationals, estimates that the top 1% of listed firms enjoyed total markups of nearly US$7tn last year: 15 times the estimated annual tax losses to tax havens. More than 60 new “food billionaires” were created in the pandemic years of 2020 to 2022, according to Oxfam. Beyond food, the scale of the monopoly problem becomes clear. Mergers and acquisitions now average $3.5tn annually, McKinsey reckons: so the market for mergers is worth three to four times the US defence budget. In market after market, the neck of the hourglass is narrowing. Advertisement Privacy Settings
Blackrock’s Varlay stated: “The senators…are f***ing cheap – you got 10 grand, you can buy a senator.” This unsettling remark paints a picture of possible manipulation of political figures, implying a level of control over political wallets, irrespective of the presiding power. Undercover reporter talking to Serge – war brings volatility to markets so more money can be made – Black Rock doesn’t want to be in the news. BlackRock ‘Recruiter’ Tells Undercover Reporter Big Finance Is Buying Politicians Varlay told the woman he believed he was on a date with, “I decide people’s fates. I literally decide how somebody’s life is going to be shaped….The whole thing, of like, domination, from a concept, it’s just…it’s so [expletive] interesting.” OMG caught Serge Varlay on camera saying BlackRock is buying off people and politicians. An apparent recruiter for asset management juggernaut BlackRock told an undercover journalist during a sting that components of Big Finance are in the business of buying off both people and politicians. The O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) published the video of a man reported to be named Serge Varlay, who says he works for BlackRock before telling a woman he believes he is on a date with at multiple locations sworn secrets of his business practices and operational ideology. “All of these financial institutions, they buy politicians,” Varlay said. “You can take this big [expletive] ton of money, and then you can start to buy people.” Varlay continued, “Let me tell you it’s not who the President is, it’s who is controlling the wallet of the President.” When the journalist asked Varlay who it is that would be controlling the wallet of a president, the recruiter responded, “The hedge funds, BlackRock, the banks, these guys run the world.” Varlay alleged that a U.S. Senator could be “bought” for as little as $10,000. He gave his date an example: “I could give you $500k right now, no questions asked.” “Are you going to do what needs to be done?” “It doesn’t matter who wins. They’re in my pocket at this point,” he added.
Open source software being targeted. Free Software Is Under Attack! (Will You Help Defend It?) Free software means that the users have the “FREEDOM” to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software…regardless of who they are or what their purpose for using the software might be. But their are those who want both “free software” and “open source software” to go away. But to do so, they must get rid of certain people, including Richard Stallman. China retires last Windows desktops for homegrown Linux distro To cut foreign dependencies, China pursues an open platform to accelerate the development of home-grown desktop computing. Google search ‘Microsoft in China’ and you will find news from as far back as 2003, revolving around the American giant’s endless tussle in the world’s most populous country. What started as piracy conundrum for Redmond eventually morphed into censorship debates and today, massive privacy concerns and international politics. Microsoft has never had it easy in the country – but frankly speaking, which foreign companies have? In February 2020, the Chinese government, in a major blow to Microsoft, announced that it will be replacing all PCs that run Windows by the end of this year alongside moves to replace Western hardware with Chinese native kit – Lenovo springs foremost to mind. For the OS, what alternatives is the government pursuing? A homegrown Linux distro has always been on the cards, primary candidates including Kylin Linux. The moves are part of the international trade games the country is playing with the West, but especially with the US, in moves that could be interpreted as retaliation for the country banning all China-made hardware imports. The phase out started with Chinese government services being ordered to replace 30% of Windows PCs by the end of 2020, a further 50% in 2021 and the final 20% by the end of this year. According to China Securities, as reported here [paywall], it will mean that around 20 to 30 million PCs will end up being replaced. Statistically speaking, even with some homegrown operating systems already available in the market, it appears that no Chinese OS is yet rivaling Microsoft Windows, which leads the market with an 85% share in mainland China.
Friday the 13th origin. Why that date is feared by Templar Masons. Knights Templar underground spawned the Freemasons. ‘The Brotherhood’ documentary by Martin Short about Freemasonry – P2 lodge in Italy and it’s power. Stephen Knight and Martin Short’s books about Freemasonry. ‘Jack the Ripper’ and ‘Inside the Brotherhood’. ‘Born in Blood’ good book about the Solomon’s Temple based medieval Knights Templar origins of Freemasonry. Important Freemason ritual is about rebuilding Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem. King Solomon’s Temple and Freemasonry: A Framework for Self Improvement When we commit to a life of Freemasonry, we are dedicated to self-improvement. In our Brotherhood, we Use the Tools to seek out light and reflect deeply on our ability to improve the world around us. While the tenants of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth ground our fraternity, the architecture of King Solomon’s Temple represents the path of development we all journey through as Masons. Biblical narratives and historical documentation of Lodge meetings provides insight into the history and symbolism of King Solomon’s Temple and the ways it relates to Freemasonry today. Let us learn of our history and valuable symbolism as we move forward in our craft. Temple Architecture and Freemasonry Beyond any religious context, the building of this great structure provides a symbolic foundation for the process of self-development in Freemasonry. Masonic tradition and ritual refers to the physical architectural processes of the temple’s creation, but as a way to emulate the possibilities of self-growth and enlightenment. This structure depicts the capabilities of men when they work collaboratively, using the right tools to diligently develop themselves in order to be better for the world. For instance, the process of building the temple provides inspiration and emulates the three degrees of the symbolic Lodge; Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft, and Master Mason. Apprentices and craftsmen worked to prepare stone that would be used for building and assembly. Master Masons outlined plans and architectural direction to guide their Brethren, harmonious collaboration taking place. Throughout a Mason’s journey, candidates emulate different phases of the development of the Temple where they ultimately represent the structure as a whole upon completion of various degrees. The Masonic Legend of Hiram Abiff Related to the construction of the Temple, Masonic tradition records the legend of Hiram Abiff in the Third Degree. The allegory describes Hiram Abiff as Chief Architect working alongside King Solomon and Hiram of Tyre. Construction of the temple lasted years, and members of the craft were frustrated with the longevity of the building process and the time required to advance in their titles and expertise. Three demanded Hiram divulge the knowledge of a Master Mason in order to accelerate their advancement in Masonry without the required years of experience. Upon Hiram’s refusal, the men struck him dead. In the night, the murderers moved his body outside the city to be buried, marking the site with a sprig of acacia. The grave, however, was soon discovered and those at fault were brought to justice. Freemasons throughout the world find meaning in the legend of Hiram as an example of faith, fidelity, courage, and justice.
A secret P2 Masonic fascist government of Italy was exposed in 1982: In January 1982, the P2 lodge was definitively disbanded by the Law 25 January 1982, no. 17. In July 1982, new documents were found hidden in the false bottom of a suitcase belonging to Gelli’s daughter at Fiumicino airport in Rome. The documents were entitled Memorandum sulla situazione italiana (“Memorandum on the Italian Situation”) and Piano di rinascita democratica (“Plan of Democratic Rebirth”), and are seen as the political programme of P2. According to these documents, the main enemies of Italy were the Italian Communist Party (PCI) and the trade unions, particularly the Communist Italian General Confederation of Labour (CGIL). These had to be isolated and cooperation with the PCI, the second biggest party in Italy and one of the largest in Europe, which was proposed in the Historic Compromise by Aldo Moro, needed to be disrupted. Gelli’s goal was to form a new political and economic elite to lead Italy away from the danger of Communist rule. More controversially, it sought to do this by means of an authoritarian form of democracy. P2 advocated a programme of extensive political corruption: “political parties, newspapers and trade unions can be the objects of possible solicitations which could take the form of economic-financial manoeuvres. The availability of sums not exceeding 30 to 40 billion lire would seem sufficient to allow carefully chosen men, acting in good faith, to conquer key positions necessary for overall control.” P2’s influence The P2 was implicated in numerous Italian scandals and mysteries. Opinions about the importance and reach of the P2 differ. Some see the P2 as a reactionary, shadow government ready to preempt a takeover of power in case of an electoral victory of the Italian Communist Party. Others think it was nothing more than a sordid association of people eager to improve their careers by making powerful and important connections. Corriere della Sera takeover In 1977, the P2 took control of the Corriere della Sera newspaper, a leading paper in Italy. At the time, the paper had encountered financial trouble and was unable to raise bank loans because its then editor, Piero Ottone, was considered hostile to the ruling Christian Democrats. Corriere’s owners, the publishing house Rizzoli, struck a deal with Gelli. He provided the money with funds from the Vatican Bank directed by archbishop Paul Marcinkus. Ottone was fired and the paper’s editorial line shifted to the right. The paper published a long interview with Gelli in 1980. The interview was carried out by the television talk show host Maurizio Costanzo, who would also be exposed as a member of P2. Gelli said he was in favour of rewriting the Italian constitution towards a Gaullist presidential system. When asked what he always wanted to be, he replied: “A puppet master”. Bologna massacre P2 members Gelli and the head of the secret service Pietro Musumeci were condemned for attempting to mislead the police investigation of the Bologna massacre on 2 August 1980, which killed 85 people and wounded more than 200. Banco Ambrosiano scandal P2 became the target of considerable attention in the wake of the collapse of Banco Ambrosiano (one of Milan’s principal banks, owned in part by the Vatican Bank), and the suspicious 1982 death of its president Roberto Calvi in London, initially ruled a suicide but later prosecuted as a murder. It was suspected by investigative journalists that some of the plundered funds went to P2 or to its members.[citation needed] Protezione account One of the documents found in 1981 was about a numbered bank account, the so-called “Protezione account”, at the Union Bank of Switzerland in Lugano (Switzerland). It detailed the payment of US$7 million by the president of ENI, Florio Fiorini, through Roberto Calvi to the Italian Socialist Party (PSI) leader Claudio Martelli on behalf of Bettino Craxi, the socialist Prime Minister from 1983 to 1987. The full extent of the payment became clear only twelve years later, in 1993, during the mani pulite (Italian for “clean hands”) investigations into political corruption. The money was allegedly a kickback on a loan which the Socialist leaders had organised to help bail out the ailing Banco Ambrosiano. Rumours that the Minister of Justice, Martelli, was connected with the account had been circulating since investigations began into the P2 plot. He always flatly denied them. Learning that formal investigations were opened, he resigned as minister.
Masonic initiation rituals are a combination of an obsession with the building and re-building of Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem and Witchcraft! Saul died in about 1010BC, David became the King of Judah and seven or eight years later he was anointed King over all Israel. After David had consolidated his power and built a permanent residence for himself, the lack of a shrine of Yahweh seemed invidious to him. He said: “I dwell in a house of cedar, but the Ark of God dwelleth within curtains”. Because his hands were stained with the blood of his enemies, David was precluded from building a temple to the Lord, but he collected materials, gathered treasure and purchased a site for the construction. The site chosen was the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite, within the area now called Haram esh-Sherif on Mount Moriah on the east side of the “Old City” of Jerusalem. Whilst the precise location of the first temple is not known it is believed that the highest part of the rock, now covered by the mosque known as the “Dome of the Rock”, almost certainly was the position of the Holy of Holies. Jewish tradition relates that a secret vault was constructed beneath the temple, in which confidential meetings could be held and all sacred treasures and documents could be stored. Such a vault also features in masonic tradition and is a key element in several of its ceremonies. The construction of such a vault under ecclesiastical and other buildings of importance was common in ancient times and virtually became an essential element in medieval times. Recent seismological surveys indicate that there probably is a cavern beneath the mosque, but excavations to confirm the existence of the traditional vault are precluded at present. King Solomon commenced construction of the temple in the fourth year of his reign and completed it seven years later, in about 950BC. To facilitate the work he entered into a treaty with Hiram, King of Tyre, whereby Hiram would permit Solomon to obtain cedar and cypress wood and blocks of stone from Lebanon. Furthermore, Solomon’s workmen would be permitted to fell the timber and to quarry and hew the stones under the direction of Hiram’s skilled workmen. In addition, Solomon was provided with the services of a skilful Tyrian artisan named Hiram Abiff, to take charge of the castings and of the fabrication of the more valuable furniture and furnishings of the temple. In return for all of the services to be provided by Hiram, Solomon agreed to send to him every year 4,400,000 litres of crushed wheat and 4,400,000 litres of barley, as well as 440,000 litres of wine and 440,000 litres of oil. Solomon raised a levy of forced labour out of all Israel, totalling 30,000 men, which he sent to Lebanon in relays of 10,000 a month. Adoniram, who had been an officer of King David in charge of labour gangs, continued under King Solomon and was placed in charge of the levy working in Lebanon. King Solomon also employed 70,000 burden bearers and 80,000 hewers of stone in the hill country, as well as 3,300 officers in charge of the men carrying out the work. Some thirty years after the completion of the temple, when Rehoboam sent Adoniram to enforce the collection of taxes, the exasperated populace rebelled and stoned Adoniram to death.
