Saudis & Ukraine losing wars, EU broke, NATO confused, No Nobel Prize 4 Trump

• Language discrimination in Ukraine: In Kiev a group of Nazis patrolled the book market and seized books in Russian, humiliating and threatening the booksellers for speaking and reading on the "wrong" language. 

• Kharkov, Ukraine: No clothes, no worries. Zelensky’s meat hunters tear the ‘Ukrainian patriot’s’ clothes off and then ship him off to die for Zelensky. Such western values are strong in ‘free’ and ‘democratic’ Ukraine. 

• 'If attacked, we are ready to fight tonight': General Alexus Grynkewich, NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe, is trying to find a justification for the 'alliance' to exist. Fight against who? Well, the Russians of course - the same Russians Trump says he is buying diesel fuel from!

• The Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant continues to face difficulties in restoring external power supply. The head of Rosatom, Alexei Likhachev, stated that ongoing attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces are hindering the repair of equipment on the "Ferrosplavnaya" and "Dnepro" power lines. 

• Oh boy .. the man wants his Nobel – any prize will do. 'My diesel deal with Russia is not really a deal for me. It’s a deal FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD’ claims Trump'. 

• Kit Klarenberg: Absolute clown shit. Israel and Saudi Arabia have openly been conjoined at the hip for a decade.  But the CIA-riddled Pakistani military that coups anyone the West doesn’t like [including Imran Kahn] was shocked I tell you! No serious person could possibly believe this rubbish. Pakistani military officers were shocked when they traveled to Saudi Arabia to find Israeli advisors taking part in intelligence meetings under CENTCOM.

• Simplicius: For a sign of just how extraordinary oil shipping costs have become, consider this: It’s now more expensive to hire a tanker from the US to China than to launch a rocket into space. That journey costs about $80 million, compared with $74 million for a standard SpaceX Falcon 9 launch, shipbroker Gibson said this week. The same amount of money could have bought a near-identical tanker outright earlier this year. The eye-watering prices are the result of a global tanker shortage that is getting worse with every additional barrel of oil flowing through the Strait of Hormuz.

• Yves Engler: According to a recent official lobbying report, B’nai Brith is pressing Public Safety Canada to “conduct a national security review of organizations, networks, and entities that promote, finance, facilitate, or legitimize extremist ideologies.” They’ve held formal meetings with government officials to promote their authoritarian position. In fact, hundreds of Jewish entities and organizations “promote, finance, facilitate, or legitimize” the extremist ideology of genocidal Jewish supremacist colonialism.
• Fotros Resistance: Days ago the Baku government announced it is not allowing female teachers to wear hijab at school. The Azerbaijani government is now demanding girls to also remove their hijabs. All hijabi women and girls have been kicked out from school, both students and teachers. Many men and women have already been arrested. The Baku government is oppressing Muslims even though the majority are Muslim. 

• Crowds flood Bangkok’s streets to protest World Bank and IMF: The rally drew over a thousand people. It coincides with the Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank Group, being held in the Thailand capital from October 12-18. The demonstrators accuse the international financial institutions of deepening the country’s debt dependence, widening social inequality, and backing environmentally harmful projects. “Stop capital that is destroying the world! The people determine their own future! No to the World Bank and the IMF!” reads the demonstrators’ slogans. Police have blocked the demonstrators’ route to the meeting venue, yet organizers vow that the protests will continue. 

• Saudi Arabia called literally every country in the world (this is not an overstatement) to try and find support of any kind for their 12-year war against Yemen and Ansarallah. They even begged the Iranians to intervene with Ansarallah and parley for a one month ceasefire. Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi said absolutely not. The Yemenis are only interested in Saudi stopping their war on Yemen and the blockade lifted and a lasting peace agreement. (Does this make you think that they may have taken some advice from Russia? Yemen sourced comments say they are carrying out a SMO in Saudi Arabia). 

• Politico reports that Zelensky is now fighting to regain attention from a Europe that has become fatigued with pulling the stiffening corpse of the Ukrainian state along the muddy road of its own future. Zelensky says to EU "The war will cost €155 billion next year. And we need at least another €70 billion from you for defense, weapons and our resilience. This is a realistic amount. And I ask you to find this support. It will help us deter Russia."  

The Alaska Fishing Crisis Will Shock You

Regular people are losing the right to fish in Alaska. 

Corporations discard millions of pounds of fish every year while people lose access to rivers, and the media is sleeping on the story. 

Now the working class is fighting back, and their rage could flip the US Senate. 

The Truth about Christianity in Africa

Abir Ibrahim makes brilliant statement about Africa: What’s Africa’s role in Christian history? 

From Nubian royalty to the Coptic Church and Axumite coins. 

Was Africa writing the script before Europe ever picked up the pen?

Stop Endless War$

This is the all-time most popular post on my blog that ran on June 19, 2017. I thought I'd share it again with an updated graphic.

I began to seriously question the government's lies while in the Air Force during the Vietnam War.  I went to the base exchange one day while stationed at Wheeler AFB, Hawaii and picked a copy of the Pentagon Papers off the book rack.  I started reading the book at my job site and would now and then read aloud one of the more egregious lies uncovered by the governments own 'secret history' of how the war in Vietnam came about.

Years before I had come to appreciate the phrase 'modus operandi' (MO) while taking a pre-FBI agent correspondence course through the mail.  Every criminal has an MO - a way of repeating their crimes over and over again.  That is the perfect description of how the corporate criminal syndicate, that runs the US, acts at home and around the world - they keep doing the same bad shit and selling it to the public in the same way.

As a teenager I dreamed of fighting organized crime as my career.  Reading the Pentagon Papers helped me see one prime example of Washington's MO happening right before my eyes.  So I feel like I achieved my goal of being a fighter of the mob but thankfully learned that the FBI was part of the problem.

When Washington started attacks (verbal and physical) on Panama, Granada, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Ukraine, Yemen, Iran, Russia, Congo, Sudan, Somalia, China, North Korea, Palestine, Venezuela, Cuba & Iran I saw the MO in action.

It is hard for many people to admit we are being played like a fiddle - they want to believe in the system because if they move to rejecting it then they have to act - and most folks don't want to act. They want someone else to do the heavy lifting for them. Oh they say, let's just put the Democrats back in charge and everything will be fine again. Oops, forget that one.

So it gets real interesting that in recent days the 'RussiaGate' story is losing oxygen - like a balloon deflating in your hand.  CNN and now the New York Times are slowly creeping toward back tracking on their earlier claims about Russian interference in US elections.

Award winning reporter Robert Parry at Consortium News [in 2017] wrote:

The New York Times has finally admitted that one of the favorite Russia-gate canards – that all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies concurred on the assessment of Russian hacking of Democratic emails – is false.

The reality of a more narrowly based Russia-gate assessment was admitted in May by President Obama’s Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and Obama’s CIA Director John Brennan in sworn congressional testimony.

.... as any intelligence expert will tell you, if you “hand-pick” the analysts, you are really hand-picking the conclusion. For instance, if the analysts were known to be hard-liners on Russia or supporters of Hillary Clinton, they could be expected to deliver the one-sided report that they did.

In the history of U.S. intelligence, we have seen how this selective approach has worked, such as the phony determination of the Reagan administration pinning the attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II and other acts of terror on the Soviet Union.

CIA Director William Casey and Deputy Director Robert Gates shepherded the desired findings through the process by putting the assessment under the control of pliable analysts and sidelining those who objected to this politicization of intelligence.

Since Clapper’s and Brennan’s testimony in May, the Times and other mainstream news outlets have avoided a direct contradiction of their earlier acceptance of the 17-intelligence-agencies canard by simply referring to a judgment by “the intelligence community.”

Most of us have learned to smell a rat and this cycle we are in of 'endless wars' is stinking up a storm.  Trusting the ruling elites is a foolhardy thing to do.  Trusting their media is even more foolhardy.  Sadly it is simply amazing how many 'progressives' still read and believe the New York Times and the Washington Post along with CNN and MSNBC.

The puzzle pieces are falling into place on the wall and a clearer picture has emerged for us to see if we are willing to look.  Democracy is gone - corporate oligarchic control is here and neo-feudalism is backed up with a militarized police.

They must lie to us about everything.  It's the only way Mr. Big can keep us distracted and under control.  We win the day we stop falling for their MO and begin to act against it.

Yeah, send Pistol Pete to war!

Hegseth is out recruiting for more US troops to die in Trump's 'wars of choice'.

He quotes Isaiah from the bible saying 'Send me Lord'. 

So Pistol Pete is now channeling Isaiah, the very one who said 'beat your swords into ploughshares'.

Confused yet?

The US does not appear to be relenting in their failed multiple wars in West Asia.

At this rate the American people should be chanting 'Send Hegseth to hell - along with Trump, Rubio, and the rest of the quacks running things in Washington'!
