War of words: Iraqi PM slams Erdogan over Mosul statement

“We have come to the belief that Turkey is not keen on resolving any issues or withdrawing its troops from Iraqi territory," the Iraqi PM's Spokesperson, Saad Al-Hadithi, stated on Wednesday.

“Turkey does not respect the mutual interests of their country and Iraq, and this could lead to a security threat in Kurdistan, Iraq and the wider region in general,” Hadithi explained on Wednesday.

Kurdish leader: “Time has come to liberate Mosul” from ISIS

"All preparations for the battle to liberate Mosul have been completed," said Barzani in a statement posted on the Kurdish regional presidency's website on Saturday.

"The time has come to begin the liberation of Mosul," Barzani said on his twitter account

I wonder if the Kurds and Turks will cooperate in the destruction of Mosul?

The Rosenburg Files: Germany’s justice ministry was a stronghold of former Nazis

Manfred Görtemaker ascribes the employment of old Nazis in the Federal Ministry of Justice to the “incredible communist baiting” of the post-war Adenauer government. “Anti-communism was the glue” between the judiciary of the Federal Republic and the Nazi dictatorship. “In recruitment, one could be a Nazi, the main thing was to be anti-communist.”

Not only in Germany under the BMJ, of course, but in the United States, under the CIA. The old bad guys became the new good guys fighting the new bad guys, who were the old good guys. Puts the lie to 'ideology'. The only ideology in the West is Hurray for me! To hell with you!

Things are heating up, the Brutish Empire of Crown Corporation headqartered in the City of London has become more and more cornered thus forced to show its true face, without that fake "English phlegm and humor", but that true rabid, brutal, violent, primitive, blood-thirsty muzzle. Closing all of the Russia Today ban accounts in the UK is evidence of how scared The Empire has become of the Truth, how desperate its minions are to keep the populace in the dark, in the Matrix of lies. It seems they are planning some thing "big", that requires monopoly on the narrative, total blockade on dissident voices, on alternative views, another "Big Lie".

I've watched recently 2 Hollyweird productions that may be harbingers of the false flags that are coming: "Transformes part III" (from 2011, starring among other Shia LeBeouf known for his MKUltra/Monarch appearances in some music videos and creepy publicity stunts - see "Vigilant Citizen" for analyses) and "Jack Ryan" (with her Majesty loyal subjects Keira Knightly, Kenneth Brannagh - also directing, and sadly Kevin Costner, who seemed before to be on humanity's side).

It's been widely known that Hollyweird productions are recruiting tools for the MIC and the rest fo the global cabal, using Tavistock programing methods to etch, especially in the young minds, that the military, CIA, PMCs are "cool" and heroes fighting for "freedom and democracy" all over the world and any young man should dream of becoming one of them, also to be close to the newest technological toys from the weaponry arsenal.

I know it's been 5 years since the release of the "Transformers 3" but the ominous signs in the move are so compelling that I feel obliged to share my concerns, especially that some movie's ideas take on some astounding new meaning in the current geopolitical context. We know from the past that the criminal elite has been including some clues about its future moves in some big Hollyweird productions, the best example would be "The Dark Knight" Batman movie and the proceeding Sandy Hook,Newton elementary false flag hoax. It's not certain why they put the clues (see e.g. many episodes of 'The Simpsons") there - a cruel joke, a show of dominance, a rule from the playbook?

I also know that I've already warned here about the coming nuclear event in Chicago but exactly that event could be "prophesied" in the "Transformers". I'm not going to dwell into the details of the plot because it's stupid, and there are many glaring logical mistakes in the movie, suffice to say is tat Chicago is portrayed as the battleground with the invading aliens, as almost completely destroyed, desolated city, closed off, quarantined, where a military operation by the aliens is taking place.

Funny thing that not knowing the plot, I asked myself when the move started - "would Chicago be the center of destruction in the movie?" - bearing in mind previous warning based on any signals from the blogosphere. And fast forward to the last part of the movie - yes, it was.

But the key phrase that gave e chills is the once cried out: "CHICAGO IS THE GROUND ZERO!". You must know that many people believe that Sears Tower was to be nuked on 9-11 but the plan went wrong and it was spared. Until now?

Then to my astonishment the command and control center of the alien invasion is ... wait for it ... Trump Tower in Chicago! In 2011 it did not matter much, but today...? So the good guys have to destroy the Trump Tower in Chicago at all costs to save the Earth. Clearly, Trump is a target specified by the movie.

Chicago looks increasingly like a very suspicious place - neo-liberal plague started from here, it's Obama'a home ground, it's where that zionist filth Rahm Emanuel and his criminal family reign (he even behaves like a mob boss in an episode of the "Chicago Fire" tv series), it's financial hub where world class speculations take place, a Police dungeon for dissidents is there, and recent news about police pension fund huge fraud.

Of course the movie is full of declarations about fighting "for freedom" that makes you vomit and the "saviors" seem to be brave military, intelligence, PMC men, a role models for many young people forced to make fast decisions about their future surrounded by crumbling economy and society. The Empire needs more cannon fodder for its world wars! (especially the forward air controllers , it seems)

There is also a tower clock featured in the movie that eerily resembles the one from the "Illuminati Tarot" card. and another big analog clock is prominent in the background of the final scenes with the hands in different positions in consecutive takes - clues for time ad dates of the coming false flag?

It also has some disgusting anti-Iranian war propaganda: autobots allied with the USA destroy an Iranian nuclear facility, because it was "threat to humanity", an autobot orders Iranians like dogs to "lay down" in a very humiliating matter. Russians are portrayed as usually - stupid alcoholics, who because of their stupidity brought the alien threat from the Moon to Earth, tried to use alien tech without much thinking in Chernobil with known consequences, and subsequently caused all the ensuing mess that the heroes from the US must fix in the movie to save us all.

Remember - "Chicago is the Ground Zero" shouts John Torturro.

"Jack Ryan" is much worse. At least the "Transformers" have some good visual effects, although it's tiring in the end.

But the Brannagh's movie is a repulsive war propaganda, a (Russian) character assassination (attempt), that's been always a preparation by the subservient Western media whores for the actual physical assassination of the target. Russians are subhumans, crude, primitive brutes who want to build empire and destroy the USA as a revenge for Afghanistan and other historical wounds. The main character looks and behaves like a stupid teenager high on "saving the US" steroid, you just want to punch him in that idiotic face with that semi-retarded smirk. Happy to be a hero for the world ruling criminal royal oligarchy!

In the move Russians are accused a number of times of crimes and mentality that is exactly the US characteristic. Typically - blame the victims of your crimes.

And those English actors, of couse serving the royal cabal to pay their dues when ordered. They obviously wouldn't have gotten to the top without the special permit from the controllers, and without pertinent "dirt" on them, prepared for occasions like this, where the whole control scheme is falling apart and the subjects are required to show absolute obedience.

The Tavistock mass-media programming (Bernays, Freud's nephew, the father of propaganda worked there I think, and the bus was blown up on 7/7 next to their building...)

The movie it like the worst Nazi or Bolshevik propaganda, it's ok to kill the subhumans with all means necessary, that's what you do to save your country from the economical and terrorist attack by the Russians. And you do not have to confess about the horrific things you've done if the president does not ask.

If the US economy collapses, and there is a terrorist attack on Wall Street - you'll know who is to blame.

Cuba Students March Against US Blockade, Gain Global Support

Last year the U.N. General Assembly voted 191-2 to condemn the U.S. blockade of Cuba, with only the U.S. and Israel opposed to the move.

Cuban students who marched Monday demanding an end to the United States' blockade against the island have received support from social organizations and political parties from across the globe.

I hope that's true about 'global support'. I hope the Cubans note the only support the USA has for its 50+ years of commercial warfare against them : the same, shameful apartheid state that's waged warfare on all levels against Palestine and the Palestinians for 68 years.

Too, I hope that black Americans in the USA - against whom the USA has waged war for 300+ years - make common cause with Cubans and Palestinians.

Turkish military push into Idlib, prepare to assault Kurdish Afrin province

According to reports by Al-Dorar, Turkish forces with bulldozers and diggers penetrated as much as 500m into Idlib province near Aqrabat.

These forces began to dig up farmland and olive trees, in which some trees can take up to ten years before they bear fruit with the minimum at three years using modern methods.

Every day in every way the Turks are coming more and more closely to resemble the colonial settler Israelis.

Isn't Idlib the place where all the al-CIAduh fighters from Damascus and wherever have been 'deported'? Won't they team up with their Turkish patrons there? Just as they have teamed with their Israeli patrons in the Golan? And, of course, with their CIA patrons worldwide?

1964, after indon prez sukarno survived a murkkan/brit regime change,
he told uncle scam to 'go to hell with your aid' ! [1]

barely one yr later, he was toppled by a bloody coup, so brutal it ranks as one of the greatest genocide of the 20 century.

current ph prez duterte says he's taking a leave from sukarno,
no doubt he knew about the possible consequences.

murkka's road to world domination is littered with the corps of former puppets who ran out their use by dates....

That was then and this is now. Duterte has run into the arms of China who will not let the US pull the same trick again, IMO

duterte himself has broadcasted to all and sundry that cia is going after him, he even tells his right hand man to carry on with the task if he is taken out.
logically, cia would not touch him when the heat is on.

but we can never overstimate cia's ruthlessness and chutzpah !
see the brazen way it murdered chavaz soon after he called bush'the man from hell'. !

'in your face' has always been washington's way.
uncle scam couldnt care less cuz it has been getting away with daylight murder for decades.
cia might just go ahead to kill d, then blame the drug lords for the crime.

empire watch rule 1
we can never be too cynical about uncle scam !

In a Guardian thread on the Chinese built Ethiopian first modern rail way,

Someone made a snide remark,
*its cheap for a reason, we shall see*

I said,
*No doubt somebody is already hatching plan to sabotage it*

Looks like i'm behind the curve, the usual suspects are already hard at work
in Ethiopia,

*The US’ chief geostrategic imperative in the 21st century is to stop China’s One Belt One Road (OBOR) vision of global infrastructure connectivity via the New Silk Roads.
..................................
.....................................
This New Silk Road is of prime importance because it finally allows the Chinese-Ethiopian Strategic Partnership to flourish to its fullest multipolar potential, moving past the political realm and into the tangible one of real-sector commercial engagement. Ethiopia’s advantageous location also makes it a convenient midway node in linking the EU and China through OBOR, which also reinforces the strategic significance of the Red Sea and hints at the ulterior motives that the US and GCC have for waging their War on Yemen around the Bab el Mandeb chokepoint.
China is aware of all of this and foresaw it in advance, which is why its first-ever overseas military base will be in Djibouti. This isn’t just to oversee the Red Sea maritime trade routes on which most of its current bilateral trade with the EU depends, but to also protect its crucial game-changing continental investment in the Djibouti-Addis Ababa railway.
Curiously, the spike in terrorist activity and the riotous destruction of foreign businesses which preceded the Ethiopian state of emergency uncannily coincides with the recent opening of this route, so it can’t be ruled out that the same Great Power which had an interest in undermining the Eurasian Land Bridge in Ukraine and the Friendship Pipeline in Syria also has a related strategic stake in sabotaging the Ethiopian Silk Road in the Horn of Africa through yet another of its many Hybrid War schemes.-*

Major Cyber Attacks Shutdown Top US Websites

Dyn said attacks were coming from tens of millions of internet-connected devices—such as web cams, printers and thermostats—infected with malicious software that turns them into "bots" that can be used in massive distributed denial of service attacks.

My first guess would be the NSA, trying out it's newest weapons.

Might be a bug. All this stuff is programmed to call home automatically and regularly, and all this stuff uses the same code ... something like programmers not taking into account limits of existing infrastructure. Might even be semi intentional as the next obvious step is to upgrade infrastructure.

The Wikileaks stuff is getting pretty good in exposing what does not work for the American people in corporate politics

This here is the Clinton foundation arguing against generic aids medication and suggesting to fund expensive US pharma medication for patients

Of course pharma has a reason in arguing that they have to cover their research, the simple solution would be to fund the research not the product, and governments already do that

March-in proposes that taxpayers should not have to pay twice for publicly funded research - once through taxes, and once through monopoly prices or restricted access to drugs.

And yes, Big Pharma spent most for Hillary Clinton.

So the Clinton Foundation's sponsors give charity to patch the consequences of capitalisst extortion and fund a political class invested in defending their interests.

Of course everybody involved feels very good and nice doing this.

The US rank 37 in the WHO health service performance in the same league as Cuba and Slovenia.

They got international funding by UNITAID.

Unitaid is funded by an air ticket tax

Globalization is fun. Of course this is win win. Pharma gets a market they would not have otherwise, and everybody feels good

Well, here’s a great surprise, given that most of his “comedy” has been threats of assaults and insurrections. Trump Bombed At Charity Dinner Because His Staff Are Incompetent.

Donald Trump's comedy is evidently as bad as his political campaigning, and he would have been better off staying at home given how badly he's been thrashed by Clinton whenever they are in the same room, and last night was no different.

“Take my campaign – please! I just flew in from Mar-A-Lago and boy are my arms tired!”

The Daily Banter returns to the event and notes that "he somehow managed to turn himself into the only guy who's ever been booed by a bunch of priests at the traditional Al Smith Dinner."

They were particular distressed by Trump's line about Mrs. Clinton being there "tonight, in public, pretending not to hate Catholics."

Trump is constitutionally incapable of stifling his impulse to boast about himself and attack his enemies.... And we saw it last night, where what was supposed to be a lighthearted roast between candidates turned into the usual bitter and self-pitying airing of various Trump grievances against Clinton and the world.

It goes without saying that Trump isn't funny, because truly good comedy comes from a willingness to be a butt of your own jokes on occasion. And Donald Trump is incapable of self-deprecation. All he knows is braggadocio and dominance rituals. This is why his ugly, laconically delivered attacks on Clinton got him roundly mocked -- and by some of New York City's most distinguished elite.

Mrs. Clinton got another jab in. When Trump tweeted about an "almost unanimous" acclaim for his debate "victory," she replied, "Where was this kind of comedy last night>"

Oh, and I nearly forgot to hightlight a serious element of confusion in the Trump camp on Syria. The Promoter-in-Chief is differing with his Chief Operating Officer. Pence is far more hardline.

"Provocations by Russia need to be met with American strength.” If Russia “continues to be involved” in airstrikes along with the Syrian government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, he said, “the United States of America should be prepared to use military force to strike the military forces of the Assad regime” and “prevent this crisis in Aleppo.”

They were able to get it all together, however, and now there are said to be no differences. Trump has indicated Pence would actually be in charge, so I presume he was told "Don't contradict the boss in public. You'll get to do as you wish once we're in office, it's only for the rubes 'til Election Day."

"Order up, Orange Kool-Aid Jello shot with a bile chaser."

ROTFLMAO!

I only just noticed the "dump Pence before he gets The Donald killed" fantasy room at the start of this thread.

And of course, the obvious solution for the siloviki would be just to bump off the VP as well, and then Speaker of the House Ryan gets the job. Or if the new Speaker is a Democrat and you have to go down the Cabinet list 'til you find someone you like, well hey, shit happens, right?

Now that's comedy.
