The MoA Week In Review – OT 2019-12
Last week's posts on Moon of Alabama:
The coup attempt failed and the Random Guyaido and his U.S. minder are traveling around various south American capitals to find support. But all members of the Lima Group rejected a military attack on Venezuela. The U.S. is isolated on the issue and therefore likely to use its old trick of paying local mercenaries to destroy the country.
John Bolton @AmbJohnBolton – 22:27 utc – 2 Mar 2019
In less than one week, over 600 military members have acknowledged their sworn duty to defend the Venezuela Constitution and the legitimate President, Juan Guaido.
No pictures or report about this mysterious defector force appeared. The number Bolton mentions is probably the count of the hirelings the CIA is currently training.
This tweet also got a lot of attention and its protagonists received some mockery:
Dan Cohen @dancohen3000 – 6:21 utc – 2 Mar 2019
Juan Guaidó’s fellow Popular Will party member Freddy Superlano is hospitalized and his assistant Carlos José Salinas is dead after they took drugs with prostitutes following the #VenezuelaAidLive concert in Cúcuta, Colombia.
Diputado Freddy Superlano grave por intoxicación en Cúcuta, su asistente murió
It is unlikely that those persons voluntarily took the scopolamine (aka hyoscine) that the report says affected them. A 2012 U.S. government travel advisory for Colombia notes:
One common and particularly dangerous method that criminals use in order to rob a victim is through the use of drugs. The most common has been scopolamine. Unofficial estimates put the number of annual scopolamine incidents in Colombia at approximately 50,000. Scopolamine can render a victim unconscious for 24 hours or more. In large doses, it can cause respiratory failure and death. It is most often administered in liquid or powder form in foods and beverages. The majority of these incidents occur in night clubs and bars, and usually men, perceived to be wealthy, are targeted by young, attractive women. To avoid becoming a victim of scopolamine, one should never accept food or beverages offered by strangers or new acquaintances or leave food or beverages unattended. Victims of scopolamine or other drugs should seek immediate medical attention.
India had claimed that it bombed a Jihadist camp in Pakistan and killed some 300 Jihadists. In fact only a crow was killed. Satellite pictures show that all the expensive Israeli glide bombs India used missed their targets by some 200 meters and damaged some trees. Pakistan used that fact to troll the Indian government: Pakistan to lodge U.N. complaint against India for 'eco-terrorism' forest bombing
Two Reuters reporters who visited the site of the bombings, where four large craters could be seen, said up to 15 pine trees had been brought down by the blasts. Villagers dismissed Indian claims that hundreds of militants were killed.
Pakistan released the Indian pilot who was shot down over the Pakistan controlled area of Kashmir. That thankfully defused the situation. Both sides are back at their usual games of lobbing artillery against each others position.
Once a while I agree with the Arms Control Wonk, aka Jeffrey Lewis, who summarizes:
The U.S. position — that North Korea must unilaterally abandon its nuclear capabilities in exchange for promises of some different future — is a kind of American fantasy about power that is more suited to an action movie than the reality of international negotiations.
…
Each time the United States walked, a lot of people in Washington promised that patience and pressure would produce a better deal than the one squandered. And each time they were wrong. Like a gambler racking up debt, the U.S. foreign policy community has consistently taken its chances at the roulette table rather than cutting its losses and admitting the obvious: North Korea has the bomb.
…
We can't admit failure because it requires not merely changing our policy but admitting that we've been wrong. It's far easier to pretend that a better deal is just around the corner. It isn't.
Other comments paint a more optimistic picture.
Thank you all for the lively comments to the piece that give otherwise rare insights into Canadian politics.
Banning Hizbullah might be part of the current campaign to remove Corbyn and others from the Labour party by claiming they are supporting terrorists and are antisemites. Here is a handy list of all the great Jewish scholars and writers that were claimed to be antisemites because the oppose the racist ideology of Zionism.

Other issues:
Novichok:
Tomorrow is the anniversary of the Novichok hoax the British government used to vanish Sergej and Yulia Skripal. Just in time the government announced that it had finished removing the roof from the house of Sergej Skripal. Why the roof of the house was allegedly contaminated with Novichok when the government claimed that Novichok was applied to the outer door handle is left unexplained.
The Russian embassy in London produced an excellent timeline of the incident and has a number of Unanswered Questions.
Syria:
A video shows the illegal use of White Phosphorus against the remaining ISIS elements in Baghuz, Syria. French artillery in the area, under U.S. command, uses such ammunition.
The OPCW released its report on the alleged use of chemical weapons in Douma, Syria, in March 2018. No nerve agents were found. Some Chlorine substance may have been present but the obviously staged scene does not allow to attribute its source. Peter Ford, a former UK ambassador to Syria, notes other weak points.
Various propagandists claim that Syria is breaking the reconciliation deal with the rebels in Daraa, south of Damascus. It is not. Some ISIS or al-Qaeda cells are again active in Daraa and kill people on both sides: Mysterious assassinations mire Daraa’s fragile peace. On wonder who finances these people.
Use as open thread …
Global Warming , 5G , Eugenics, Vaccines , GM Foods and Round Up are all seemingly interlocked by elites with a common agenda regarding population and resource control vis “sustainability” as steps toward a Totalitarian Technocracy.
Big Oil, Big Pharma, Big Telecom, Big Agra, Big Brother, Big Academia and Big Media working together with these Big Finance and cognitive elites who operate via Think Tanks, Foundations and Super Pacs.
To help figure out where the truth lies, look for MSM support, censorship, hysterical attacks supporters calling those in opposition pdenialist, dangerous, etc.
Claims like the science is settled or consensus science are also to be questioned since science has never been settled and consensus has often been wrong.
As non scientists its not possible to actually refute science directly. However we can read scientific papers (those not behind a paywall) and abstracts. We can see the lack of adequate safety studies with a bit of research. Basically they say if nobody found otherwise then its safe, while they mercilessly attacking any scientist who finds something or cuts off their funding.
CDC manipulates data to hide evidence (Dr Thompson), Merck scientists call out fraud by Merck in MMR licensing (lawsuit pending) Climate Scientists caught in Climate Gate (covered up), etc
Many accept this faulty and unethical science much like religious faithful accept their priests and pastors explanations without evidence. Its about faith. For those who move away from monotheistic religions, they do so to embrace a new religion based on reason and science. Man must have something to believe so instead of priests its government financed/industry scientists.
Of course some of the same people worshipping at the alter of the scientific technocratic elite that Eisenhower and Brzezinski gave us notice about 50-60 years ago, seem very aware about the evils for corporate government elite in matters of imperialism and economics. Who do you think most scientists work for or receive their grant money from?
Some will point out Big Oils financing of AGW denial. Frankly this was not very substantial relative to funding for the other side, and Exxon stopped years ago. The Rockefeller Foundation financed the other side in far greater amounts (over 100 million over the last decade) .The reason is as follows:
Oil is a finite resource and Big Oil would like to sell whats left at the highest possible price. Alternative energy will be more expensive than oil based energy, and reduce the rate in which money must be spent to seek out and develop more wells. This will allow them to sell at higher margins, albeit in lesser amounts and reduce annual CAPEX.
Furthermore, with deep pockets and being interlocked with Big Finance /Banking they can get in on the alternative energy businesses and exploit the carbon credit scam. Beyond that Big Brother who is behind the CAGW scheme keeps them supplied with the oil resources of other countries (Iraq, Libya) with more on the way (Iran, Yemen, Venezuela), so that offsets any costs of going along with CAGW.
Lastly, increased carbon emission regulations will help eliminate smaller competitors and increase market share, and they will pass the added cost on to end users since they have monopoly price making powers.
Some may know of Crown Castle International, it is the largest provider of wireless infrastructure in the United States. It was established in 1992 with funding from Warren Buffet, who as mentioned above is also a leading global health player touting vaccines. 5G is assisted by WHO in its reluctance to investigate and call out the health effects of RF exposure . WHO was spawned from the Rockefeller founded International Health Commission that it replaced and was advised by the Rockefeller Foundation for decades.
Limits on RF exposure in the United States, most Western European countries, and many countries in other parts of the world follow the ICNIRP recommended limits. They are higher than in the Russia, China, Switzerland, and a few other countries which are much lower. The difference is the latter group base standards on the biological effects and not just thermal effects.
Then there is food. As Kissinger said in 1971, “control the oil and you control nations, control the food and you control people. The Rockefellers founded the CGIAR which operates under the umbrella of the UN World Bank, and its primary focus today is the spread of GMO crops. CGIAR was created by the Rockefellers and the Ford Foundation, along with the UN World Bank in 1971.
The Rockefeller Brothers Fund created the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISSAAA) and the Rockefeller Foundation is a major donor. The ISAAA is involved in promoting proprietary GMO seeds to developing countries. Its sponsors include Monsanto (USA), and Bayer CropScience (Germany) who recently merged.
The USDA is supposed to be responsible for assessing the impacts of GMO crops, but a study of over 8,000 GMO field test applications showed the USDA didn’t require a single environmental assessment.
Alongside the Rockefeller Foundation, Monsanto is largely responsible for spreading the use of GM crops around the world.
In the 1980s, the EPA concluded that glyphosate was a carcinogen. Monsanto responded by engaging in a series of contacts with the EPA designed to intimidate the agency to withdraw those findings.
WHO’s JMPR’s risk assessment found out that based on the weight-of-evidence approach these compounds are unlikely to cause cancer in people via dietary exposure, despite the IARC finding it was a probable carcinogen. Of course JPMR did not test the adjuvants.
Lots of reasons to be skeptical

But, have you read Evola´s views on women, on whom they promote raping as the adequate treatment of women and that they should be kept only as mothers and lovers ( but, well, ready to be raped as soon as the macho in charge of them would feel in the need…)
I fear that starting from those premises, of dehumanizing half the world population to the condition of object to be used for men pleasure or as factory of children, any “school-of-thought” leaded by him get quite invalidated, thus, I am astonished that you are willing to find something of value in his “thoughts”…
As you seem to declare yourself a “traditional conservative”, if I am not getting you wrong, this comes to reinforce, if more was needed, my strong opposition to any, traditional or not, conservative project for the world, the more one which intends remitting us to the darkest of middle ages, where the noble men in the elite not only enjoyed “pernada right”, but also kept their subdits in the more abject poverty by plundering almost all the product of their sweating, leaving them with the minimum to survive so as they could continue working as beasts…and procreating to easily sustitute those dying at the flower of life from the various diseases they were exposed to by life conditions lacking the least of medical atention or sanitary conditions in their homes/villages, which they, anyway, hardly could afford themselves, being left as they were with the minimal to purchase any care/medical remedy. All this, so as their “masters” could go on over there wasting the product of their sweating from battle to battle so as they could satiate their a really bad understood alleged manhood.
People who promote that women must be systematically raped, it seems to me only could be plain psychopaths, and so,that supposedly intelligent, and well intentioned towards the rest of humanity, people use them as reference, and not only, but consider they could add something of use for a change to another system for any betterment of humanity, leaves me with the impression that, not only I am wasting my time discussing with any “traditional conservative”, the more civil it could present itself in public, but that we, the people of the world, must organize even better to counter this organized offensive on confussion ( through disguising themselves as civilized and tolerant, and even progressives, through the myriad of blogs created by them to that end…) against the majority of us.
“Traditional conservatism” is what ruled and mantained the majority of the population of former Russian Empire, and more recently the majority of LatinAmerica, into abject poverty and illiteracy for centuries and decades… Sorry to say, but I very doubt of the good intentions of anybody holding such ideas, be them denouncing currently the neocons´ behavior, which is scandalous at all lights of any human measure, or not. Watching who are their “philosophers of headbed”, one only is left with thinking that we would go from Guatemala to Guatepeor with them in charge. ( Remember that Trump also lied about his intentions during the election campaign ).
As a curious note, or as a sample, I will point out that the Basque Government in Spain, which could be considered “traditional conservative”, shown recently their true colors/intentions/leanings, in the way they run the first of all, in the first hours, to recognize Guaidó as “president in charge”, recently degraded to “interim president”….
