How to handle political unrest caused by IMF policies! (CIA Files)

Posted by: nmb | Jan 30 2017 17:53 utc | 3

YouTube is engaging in selective enforcement and I have been unfairly targeted. Youtube’s policy change claims they won’t monetize “Controversial or sensitive subjects and events, including subjects related to war, political conflicts, natural disasters and tragedies, even if graphic imagery is not shown” YET I have see others able to monetize their videos about Israel and Palestine (videos regurgitating the dominating narrative) yet I have had my videos on Israel demonetized which simply state facts. AND IT IS EVEN WORSE THAN THAT NOW because my channel is now on a list so that EVERY SINGLE NEW UPLOAD REGARDLESS OF TOPIC is automatically demonetized! For example, I have uploaded a video simply saying “Merry Christmas” and it gets demonetized and then I can dispute it and such a video will most likely get monetized BUT most of my videos on war, or political conflicts are refused monetization.
I have put an enormous amount of work for years into my channel to report accurately about the issues of the day yet some people at YouTube have decided to financially cripple MY channel when I talk about these topics. I just created a gofundme page yesterday and this comment is the first time I am publicizing the link: https://www.gofundme.com/RepresentativePress
I will be adding more info at that page to explain the situation and the plan to fight back this year. I need funds to do it. People with power are robbing me of ad revenue I should be earning for all the work I have put in.

@ George the Curious. Single payer health care is looking like the unicorn of American politics and policy. Colorado just defeated a ballot measure to institute it. Even state democrats were against it. Sanders publicly supported it. The only thing I can say is the propaganda works; remember the golden rule–he who has the gold rules.
But the article was interesting in the belief that at a 40% non-coverage rate, medical systems will collapse. Trump has suggested he might get rid of the penalty for not having some medical insurance–that should hasten the collapse in some areas.

American foreign policy is a disaster for the people of the United States and the rest of the world – that’s the bottom line. The bloated foreign military budget means basic issues like infrastructure, education and public health can’t be addressed until that budget is cut by about 50%. That would involve steep cuts in financing NATO, a reduced military presence in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, and cuts in weapons buying. The total military budget is $600 billion; about $200 billion goes to weapons procurement, propping up defense contractors like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, etc. This is the cash cow the Deep State is bent on protecting; that’s a main reason Clinton and her cohort were pushing so hard to restart the Cold War, to lock in the cash for decades to come. Trump has likewise promised to keep the military budget intact – all those generals on his team can thus look forward to cushy future jobs on the boards of various government contractors.
But the Deep State will need some kind of war, some kind of foreign military conflict to get involved in to help prop it up. Where will they turn to? Some think Iran, but that’s a route to World War III with Russia and China. Some think China, over Taiwan – same problem. Perhaps a bush fire war in Africa somewhere? But that’s the racket, as Smedley Butler called it. The architects of this are lurking in Wall Street investment banks, sitting on the boards of major defense contractors, all the sleazy law firms servicing the banks and arms dealers, revolving-door bureaucrats in the State Department and the Pentagon, Congressmembers like McCain and Feinstein, and their friends in the mass media, both liberal and conservative press, from the Guardian to the Wall Street Journal.
It’s worth keeping this in mind at all times, when surveying whatever propaganda is being dished out by the media outlets.

Suggested criteria for successful Safe-Zones for Syrians.
1. The Assad gov’t must sign off on and participate in both the general plan of building SZS and the specific plans for each zone.
2. Long-term international funding must be in place and guaranteed prior to implementing the plans.
3. The UN must have primary operational, coordination, and defense responsibility for the SZS.
4. There must be a UNSC resolution and a GA resolution guaranteeing international retaliation against any country or group, including Israel, that attacks or tries to attack a SZS.
5. The SZS must be encircled by a safe buffer of at least 1 km. The buffer and miles beyond the buffer must be constantly patrolled from the air. Sufficient defense troops must be located closely enough and on 24/7 alert in order to interdict any attacks on the SZS. Otherwise the SZS just become a way to concentrate civilians so Daesh can slaughter them with the toys of war they have rec’d from Turkey and US.
6. The SZS must have tight perimeters with limited, guarded points of entrance/exit to prevent Daesh vermin from infiltrating and causing havoc from within by poisoning water, CW, etc.
7. Participating countries must be prepared for large air-lifts of refugees into the safe zones since the isolated locations would preclude people arriving there on their own.
I think SZS w/in Syria could be invaluable post-Daesh/post-Civil War as long-term repatriation centers for refugees leaving Turkey, Jordan, EU, etc., giving refugees a place to hang out while their home districts are getting infrastructure rebuilt.
First draft, feel free to improve. Maybe DTDuck will think this one through so it doesn’t blow up in his face before he starts signing executive orders.

Only one of the two men arrested in the minutes after the terror attack at a mosque in Quebec City is a suspect, police revealed Monday, saying the other man they handcuffed was a witness.
The lone suspect was identified as Alexandre Bissonnette, a student at the nearby Laval University, a law enforcement source told Reuters.
Bissonnette likes the Facebook pages of U.S. President Donald Trump and French far-right leader Marine Le Pen … Other likes include the Israel Defense Forces, United With Israel and Parti Québécois of Université Laval.

Harrry 25 writes Russia openly blasted Assad for desire to reclaim all of Syria and said they’ll withdrew all its support if Syria tries to do it. Russia can easily divide Syria in zones of influence with US if they agree on terms.

@8, @26 Ben
The story there was garbage. We’re spose to believe that Trump’s presidency is merely an attempt to loot the public coffers? And that Flynn, who could have rode the gravy train should he not have gone against the grain of our foreign policy to get himself relieved from Obama’s DIA, is part of that silly, nefarious plan? And that Kushner is some diamond thief who is disabling all the laser – security system around Fort Knox?
Got news for ya: Knox has already done been looted. All we had to pay for it was thirty years of destabilization of the MENA, arming terrorists, and contributing to the death of millions, including our own vets. But I guess that was just the warm-up to the BIG sleight of hand under Trump, right?

@37 unfounded speculation galore. One false premise to the next.

Posted by: NemesisCalling | Jan 30 2017 21:36 utc | 37

@31 Au – I’m not so sure if the seven nation’s ban is a lead up to more 9/11 NeoCon style of foreign policy, but it does seem to point in that direction, even if it’s just a continuation of Obama’s policy (but on steriods). I did hear a blip of KelleyAnn Conway screeching on the Sunday shows about how the seven nation ban was put in place to keep us safe from a 9/11 repeat (not her words but essentially what she meant). Conway said it in a more emotive fashion – speaking about all the children who went to bed in America after 9/11 without parents and how Trump is ensuring that won’t happen again.
Of course, the seven nations ban was followed up by Trump’s odering the Pentagon to come up – fast! – with a plan to hit ISIS harder and allegedly wipe them out. For Trump followers in the “heartland” who are allegedly sick and tired of their kids being cannon fodder in senseless War, Inc… well, eh? Looks like Junior & his sister better get ready to lock ‘n load one more time…
Sure looks NeoCon to me, but I guess we’ll see how it pans out over time.

Mystery death of ex-KGB chief linked to MI6 spy’s dossier on Donald Trump

An ex-KGB chief suspected of helping the former MI6 spy Christopher Steele to compile his dossier on Donald Trump may have been murdered by the Kremlin and his death covered up. it has been claimed.

Does this mean that linking the death of Seth Rich to the DNC leaks is fair game?

Re: Safe Zones – I think everyone is missing the point of what is ultimately desired here. The humanitarian guise is to accomplish Turkish and Israeli border-buffer goals. They don’t care how much manpower it takes to secure them because that’s what the UN is for. Even if the UN can’t provide a force large enough, the U.S. and crony coalition will step in and volunteer (demand) to monitor the areas with aircraft/drones. This gives the U.S. plenty of spying capability and provides a ready casus belli for accusing Syria and Hezbollah of ‘violating’ the zones and periodically attacking them.
The U.S. is in no hurry for the safe zones because they need to herd ISIS to the Euphrates first. After al Bab is liberated (by whomever) the head-choppers will all be sent to Raqqa or further downstream. I really don’t think the U.S. cares about ar Raqqa – they just want the Tabqa Dam.
Turkey seeks to simultaneously close and empty all refugee camps on the Turkish-Syrian border and ethnically cleanse as many Kurdish villages near the Turkish-Syrian border as possible. Head-choppers in Idlib will get the green bus offer once again, but this time unarmed and only to a refugee camp. Erdogan hopes the Kurdish-Arab Sunni mix of the new Syrian refugee camps can serve as a kind of no-man’s-land between Syria and Turkey. ‘Safe’ in Erdogan’s eyes means no PKK/YPG or SAA allowed, so essentially a demilitarized refugee zone. It’s a new twist on the useless UK peacekeeping zones, but with added refugee misery bonus.
Erdogan also seeks to re-establish the Turkmen presence north of Latakia next to Hatay (the Turkmen Mountain area) where the Russian fighter was shot down. That ‘safe’ zone will not be for Kurds or Syrian Arabs, but for Erdogan’s head-chopper Grey Wolf Turkmen nutjobs.
Israel, on the other hand, wants not only the re-creation of the failed land-theft-reserving UNDOF peacekeeping zone between the Golan Heights and Syria, but wants an additional demilitarized zone of several miles beyond that into Syria housing the current Jordan refugees. This is to keep the Syrian Army, Hezbollah and Israeli’s al Qaeda mercs as far away from Israel as possible. This will also deny Syria the string of low hills just inside the current UNDOF zone that Syria used for air defense and Israeli surveillance and signals intelligence. If Israel can push them back a few miles, they will not have line-of-sight into the Golan any longer. Israel doesn’t like anyone looking at them and will do whatever it takes to keep Syria from re-occupying and re-equipping that air defense line.
The whole idea is suppose to be eventual resettlement or emigration for the refugees, but this is nearly impossible. Many are not even Syrians and have no documentation. Syrian refugees are impoverished and most don’t have homes any more – they’re not going anywhere. The refugee camps will exist for years, ensuring a prolonged period of land-theft from Syria via the UN safe-zone scheme.
This is nothing but a continuation of the sore loser land-theft campaign. You wouldn’t think Syria would agree to such an outrageous plan, but they will either be enticed (lifting of sanctions/reconstruction loans) or strong-armed by the coalition into agreement. Russia doesn’t care as long as the fighting stops and the place is stable. I don’t think they’re worried about the appearance of land-theft – they’ll encourage Assad to take the deal.

How could you miss it? It was all over the news, it takes just two secs to find it:

In the end, Russia cares about its interests first and foremost, and it will be too bad for Syria if whats the best for it doesnt align with Russia’s. Syria/Iran/Hezb many times expressed dissatisfaction over Russia’s “games”, but its how the World works, powerful do whats good for them, weaker follows or gets crushed. US isnt alone in these “games.”

PWIV @44–
Such Safe Zones as you describe are a destabilizing factor for the Syrian state and will be seen as such by Russia, for which the long term stability of Syria’s paramount. As for reconstruction loans, China and Syria have already discussed them, with Xi exclaiming the importance of Syria’s participation in its OBOR project.
One outcome of Trump’s re-emphasizing Obama’s exclusion order while adding some to it is its having lit a fire under the Sadrists and allies in Iraq, and their further actions will be worth watching.

The shooter in Quebec has been identified as Alexandre Bissonette, who is a fan of Trump, the Israeli Army and other far right groups.

Social media postings by the suspect in the shooting attack that killed six persons and injured 19 at a Quebec City mosque on Sunday evening indicate he was a fan of US President Donald Trump, French far-right leader Marine Le Pen, the Israeli army and other far-right groups.

“He has political ideas on the right, pro-Israel, anti-immigration,” Allard-Prus said. “I had a number of debates with him about Trump. He was obviously pro-Trump.”
His “likes” include the official Facebook pages of Trump, Le Pen, the “Israel Defence Forces” and a group called “United with Israel.”
Bissonnette also “liked” the nationalist Parti Québécois which ran a losing general election campaign in 2014 on a “Charter of Values” that was widely seen as promoting intolerance of Muslims.
But the Quebec publication La Presse reported that Bissonnette was known as a troll to members of a Facebook group called Bienvenue aux réfugiés – Welcome to Refugees.

https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/quebec-mosque-attack-suspect-liked-trump-israeli-army-french-far-right
Trump and the Zio-state’s most moral army in the world were the role models that inspired this lunatic to shoot innocent people in the back during prayer, kill 6, with 5 more in critical condition and countless others injured.
Maybe Zionist settlers will build a shrine for him in Hebron, in the occupied West Bank alongside the shrine Israelis built for Baruch Goldstein who massacred 29 Palestinian worshippers in a mosque there.

@1 George the Curious and @14 Erelis
i was involved in the effort to adopt ColoradoCare in November and wanted to share additional perspective on how the Democrats and Planned Parenthood sabotaged the effort.
Not surprising, the CC effort which raised less than $1 M was outspent by millions and millions from state and national health care industry.
Of course, the Dem hierarchy were immediately opposed even though the State platform called for a universal health care system – but we know that a party platform means nothing as the local rank and file opposed and undermined CC.
A Denver based Dem. progressive think tank opposed CC early on which set the stage for the Dem party electeds to follow suit.
NARAL and then Planned Parenthood, both Dem front orgs, then announced their opposition and actively lobbied against with letters to the editor, etc. if adopted, CC would have provided abortion and women’s health reproductive services and therefore cost PP/naral customers and possibly challenged their existence.
While the State League of Women Voters supported CC; many of the local LWV’s, which are also Dem front organization, stayed silent and did not lobby or publicize their statewide support.
To be fair, the CC Amendment language was confusing to the public and its staff were largely inexperienced in political organizing and did not take advantage of what few opptys they had. Bernie made one brief visit and was largely ineffective.
Nevertheless, It was a disheartening and eye-opening experience re how The Dem party and Dem-related organizations cared more about party politics than it did about public health.
The bottom line here is that the Dem opposition was committed to maintaining Obamacare apparently under the impression that HRC would win the November election and she would ‘fix’ it.

Trump is a political newcomer trickster, bearing insight and misconception in various proportions, juggling many considerations, and inflicting political-cultural shock therapy to our unprecedented contemporary context. Trump likes and appreciates and empowers Bannon, he who mass-BS-media are variously apoplectic about, dismissive of, fearful of, and heaping vilification on. This is a good sign.
Big question: Is Trump’s seventy year old brain going to refresh itself, learn and process new stuff, requiring re-orientation or abrupt alteration, or will he get stuck on autopilot or as puppet?

And why the uninformative and slanted/manipulative link @ post 8 and similar are likely created ?
A rough translation from the original, in French:

Donald Trump dissolves the organization of US imperialism (voltairenet.org)
By Thierry Meyssan
Donald Trump has just completed the largest reform of administrative structures in the United States for 69 years. He has just put an end to the Imperial project and rebuilt his country, a state like the others.
Changing the system of government established in 1947, President Trump issued a memorandum on the organization of the National Security Council and the Homeland Security Council(Full English text).
The principle adopted in the past was to manage “National Security” under the joint authority of the White House, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the CIA that was created on that occasion.
From 1947 to 2001, the National Security Council became the center of the Executive. The president shared power with the director of the CIA he appointed and with the joint chief of staff selected by his peers. Since September 11, 2001, the Council was de facto placed under the supervision of the “Continuity Government” of Raven Rock Mountain.
Henceforth the Joint Chiefs of Staff will not be systematically represented at meetings, but only when the subject matter will require his presence. In addition, the CIA loses its place on the Council where it will eventually be represented by the National Director of Intelligence.
The CIA, which until now has been the president’s weapon for conducting secret actions, has finally become an intelligence agency in the true sense of the word, that is, responsible for studying international actors, anticipating their actions and advising the President.
According to an annual activity report, the Council had ordered political assassinations in 2015 in 135 countries.
During the transition period, President Trump solemnly asserted that the United States would no longer organize regime change as it has or has been attempting since 1989 using Gene Sharp techniques.
President Trump has also assigned a permanent seat to his chief strategist on an equal footing with his chief of staff.

Chairman of Joint Chiefs and DNI treated as after thoughts in Cabinet level principals meetings. And where is CIA??
Cut out of everything?
10:16 AM – 29 Jan 2017

The former National Security Advisor, Susan Rice, reacted strongly to her Twitter account. Most of the former CIA directors have already gone to the media to protest.

Think back to the speech to the Analysts/Admin staff on Trumps first official visit, to CIA …
The Military-Industrial-(&Corporate Media)-Complex (MICC) just got excluded from the National Security Council (NSC) for the first time in ~70 years … and virtually nothing in any detail, context, without major omissions, in the #Fake MSM ‘Free Press’… think on that …

Yes. And in fact there have been numerous declarations by all countries saying that Syria should remain whole. Now, that doesn’t mean that federation isn’t a possibility…

How long did he troll these sites? What is his background? How far does Facebook go back?
Awww…c’mon! You’re not the least bit curious to wonder why these gifts of bloodshed keep landing in the PTB’S lap?
Circe…where is your sense of adventure? Don’t worry, I’m on the case.

One organization (ADL) slapped his wrist a few times, big deal. Mostly it was because the ADL has to pretend to equally protect all minorities from hate, and they slammed him on some of those occasions you identified for his comments against Mexicans bringing in drugs…blah-blah and his wanting to ban all Muslims and his appointment of Bannon to a WH post, who BTW ZOA defended. These slaps on the wrist don’t measure up to his widespread popularity with Zionists. As a matter of fact I just witnessed that Zionist Neocon idiot Dershowitz defending him on CNN right now!
Zionists of America love him; AIPAC loves him; Douch Dersh defends his indefensible policies; I’ve seen that other Zio-neo clown, Ari Fleischer supporting him; Israel loves him and put up billboards supporting him; Adelson gives him $125 million; Netanyahu loves him. Oh-please, they can’t get enough of him.
I rest my case.

@81 or, ‘The CIA, which until now has been the president’s weapon for conducting secret actions, has finally become an intelligence agency in the true sense of the word, that is, responsible for studying international actors, anticipating their actions and advising the President.’
i don’t see anything that leads me to believe that’s the case. ‘intelligence’ has always been a potemkin front for operations, as far as i can see, and remains so today.
the whole memorandum does lead me to believe that tee-rump has just transferred the operation of ‘his’ government to the army of operatives named within.

When the President is absent from a meeting of either Council [The National Security Council, the Homeland Security Council, and Supporting Staff], the Vice President may preside at the President’s direction.
The President and the Vice President may attend any and all meetings of any entity established by or under this memorandum.

… then again mike pence may and tee-rump may not. which one of the two wrote the memorandum? or did K.T. McFarland write it? for some reason the announcement posted at the white house itself includes the ‘THE Deputy Assistant to the President and National Security Advisor to the Vice President’ as shown, in mixed case, while all the others are uniformly in upper case. reading the tea leaves … that’s still what we’re reduced to.

@85 james, @88 jr
make that three of us. he often lays out some solid sounding stuff to begin with, even documents it, then sails off into soaring assertions, with no documentation at all.

Not tin foil at all, Circe. The FBI frequently recruits loners and losers to set up terror attack stings; the Mounties could easily do the same. Whereas the law usually stops the nefarious plot “just in time” they don’t necessarily have to do so. For example, why have the Feds been so eager to silence the Boston Bombers and all their co-conspirators?

Since the creation of the CIA in 1947, and the creation of the JCS in ’47 also, and the modern beginnings of the MICC, the Director CIA, until creation of ODNI, and even routinely after that, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff have sat on the highest Executive council of the US of A, the National Security Council Principals Committee, with the US President and civilian appointments/advisors as the Cabinet-level interagency policy body. That had been the case for ~70 years.

Passage of the National Security Act of 1947 which formally established the Joint Chiefs of Staff and laid the foundation for the series of legislative and executive changes that produced today’s defense organization.
The National Security Act of 1947, as amended, established the National Security Council (NSC) to advise the President with respect to the integration of domestic, foreign, and military policies relating to the national security. There is also a Homeland Security Council (HSC) — established through Executive Order 13228 of October 8, 2001, and subsequently codified in the Homeland Security Act of 2002 — that has the purpose of advising the President on matters pertaining to homeland security. Each Council is also responsible for the effective coordination of the security-related activities and functions of the executive departments and agencies.

From the EO:

The Principals Committee shall have as its regular attendees the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Defense, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff, the Assistant to the President and Chief Strategist, the National Security Advisor, and the Homeland Security Advisor. The Director of National Intelligence and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff shall attend where issues pertaining to their responsibilities and expertise are to be discussed. The Counsel to the President, the Deputy Counsel to the President for National Security Affairs, and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget may attend all PC meetings.
The Assistant to the President and Deputy National Security Advisor (Deputy National Security Advisor), the Deputy Assistant to the President and National Security Advisor to the Vice President, and the Executive Secretary (who shall serve as the Executive Secretary of the PC) shall attend all of the meetings of the PC.

The Director CIA no longer gets a de facto seat. The Director of National Intelligence and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff no longer get automatic seats. The only other occasion where this was the case, IIRC, was the start of Bush Jrs Administration, where it was briefly, as required, until 9/11, then it promptly changed back to permanent seats again and ever since … this EO changes the practices of the last 16 years since 9/11 …
Obama merged the Homeland Security Council(HSC) into the NSC in 2009(?), which Bush Jr created post 9/11, Trump has now de-merged it back into a separate body.
Further ‘slanted’ coverage, focusing on Political Strategist, ‘Bannon’:

FACT CHECK: Spin Aside, Trump’s National Security Council Has A Very Big Change
What Trump’s Reshuffling of the National Security Council Means

It is only an ‘Indicator’, yet possibly a significant indicator re change regarding the last 16 years of the Global War on Terra.

Trump goes right ahead and says it about these two anti-Russia, anti-Syria, anti-Iran, pro-ISIS warmongers:
‘Focus on ISIS, not starting WWIII’: Trump blasts Senators McCain & Graham
Just a note that Trump as President and the world’s number one internet hits generator is uniquely situated to get exposure for obvious but anti-deep-state and therefore unreported truths like the above. The media of the deep state, though deadset against him, hangs itself and hands Trump the megaphone if the profit motive so dictates.

With regards to Balkanization, I’m referring to how the larger population is breaking down into tribes that essentially hate and cannot tolerate the other. Each side just digs in and then unleashed acts they accuse the other side of doing while unable to acknowledge they do the same. “Evil cannot see its reflection in a mirror.”
With regards to Tudjman, the former goon running Croatia was a glaring example of how the West was two-faced when it came to its position in the former Yugoslavia.
