Imran Khan @ImranKhanPTI – 9:58 AM · Aug 11, 2019
The curfew, crackdown & impending genocide of Kashmiris in IOK is unfolding exactly acc to RSS ideology inspired by Nazi ideology. Attempt is to change demography of Kashmir through ethnic cleansing. Question is: Will the world watch & appease as they did Hitler at Munich?
I am afraid this RSS ideology of Hindu Supremacy, like the Nazi Aryan Supremacy, will not stop in IOK; instead it will lead to suppression of Muslims in India & eventually lead to targeting of Pakistan. The Hindu Supremacists version of Hitler's Lebensraum.

Daily Mail: >Jeffrey Epstein told prison guards and fellow inmates that he believed someone had tried to kill him in the weeks before his death, a source has revealed to DailyMail.com
The insider, who had seen the disgraced financier on several occasions during his incarceration at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, also claims that the normally reserved Epstein seemed to be in good spirits.<
Whitney Webb wrote a well researched series on Epstein for MintPress News:
NY Post: >Kasman said he heard US Attorney General William Barr personally made a hush-hush trip to the [Metropolitan Correctional Center] two weeks ago, about the time Epstein was found in his cell with bruises around his neck.
“When does that happen?” he asked. “The attorney general never visits jails. Something’s not right there.”<

Other issues:
Yemen:
The Saudi plan to occupy and steal their southern neighbors oil is not going well. The UAE pulled most of its troops out from Yemen after training ten thousands of southern separatists. The mercenaries from Sudan also left. Recently the separatists attacked the Saudi supported 'government' troops in Aden and kicked them out of the presidential palace. The Saudis then bombed the separatist. Meanwhile the Houthi are laughing their assess off as their enemies fight each other. They continue to attack Saudi airports by drones.
Use as open thread …

“You could try forming the movement and see how far you get without it being infiltrated by the police, the FBI or any other law enforcement agency in the area where you live, assuming that you live in the United States.”
Wow, a wee movement and from a poster i’ve admired, Australia i think? Your posts are direct and informative.
I could do as you suggest IF i knew it was occurring elsewherez too, otherwise it’d be a colossal waste of time.
“This could very well mean that you and your followers will have to communicate and do everything “off the grid” – that means no online contact, no email, maybe even no cellphone contacts at all. How far would you all be able to go with that? You could use old-fashioned snail mail but I understand the US Postal Service is now photographing and scanning all mail and may share information about senders and recipients with law enforcement agencies.”
Undoubtedly true, Jen, but that could be accomplished by enough concerned citizens to hoof it everywhere to collect the signatures needed to put a new party on each ballot in the various states, which would probably have to be filed everywhere at nearly the same time and as late as possible.
“How will The Movement be organised? Will it have a centralised leadership to control the agenda, aims and membership? Or will it be a network of decentralised cells with the problems that that arrangement might have (fragmentation, disagreement over goals, objectives and agenda and how to carry it out, whether you are prepared to use violence or not)?”
I suck at organization, Jen and i mean really, really bad. But hey i was the idea guy, right?=) I’m hoping if karlof1 somehow finds this a novel idea perhaps he could suggest organizational boundaries?
“I’m not saying your suggestion is a bad idea but to form a grassroots movement these days is not as easy as it might have been in the past (and that wasn’t easy for those who did form such organisations).”
If done organized and low key by door to door and word of mouth only, who knows. However, the work would be enormous, but think of the possible rewards?

“Good idea, but, totally impossible, because the real third party, the party of big organised $ owns the empire, lock, stock,
and barrel, and 98% of all media in the U$A, and most of our so-called “reps”.
Watch and see how ANY progressive candidates are undermined and marginalized by the REAL 3rd party, the party of $.”
This wouldn’t be run thru any present party. It’d have to be a brand new one that’s sprung on the regime, at the last moment, tho hopefully the electorate would be more aware of it. The single hardest thing would be trying to keep it a secret from the feds.
“Conditions would have to get much worse in the U$, for any “groundswell” by the peons. Bread & Circuses work….”
I believe we’re already there ben, just reading other posters here the slant against our ‘outlaw regime’ seems pretty real from folks around the world, not just here. Perhaps some of the coordination for some of the aspects of the campaign could be done outside the country to reduce visibility. Maybe avoid using Russia tho, eh?
However, thank you both for posting something, much appreciated.

Wow, that is an outstanding tour d’horizon from Magnier you linked. This is a keeper to show others who may be amenable to learning about today’s Middle East balance of forces, and how it has been arrived at.
Succinct yet very comprehensive, the piece not only catches up the histories of recent years, but provides an analysis of today and the near-to-mid-term future – both military and geopolitical. It speaks of the various lessons learned along the way, including the lessons being absorbed in real time today as the confrontation between Iran and the US has barely yet begun and yet racked up totally instructive scores.
The new war is essentially economic; it is a war of sanctions and limiting free movement of ship movements around the globe. It is a war of tankers and oil platforms. It is a starvation war where no one can threaten the enemy with a return to the “stone age” because the firepower is now universally available. Yemen is the best example: the threat of bombing Dubai forced the Emirates to seek Iranian mediation to prevent a missile attack against them. The Houthis, despite years of Saudi bombing of Yemen, have also managed to bomb Saudi airports, military bases and oil stations in the heart of Saudi Arabia, using cruise missiles and armed drones. [My emphasis]
And Hezbolllah has cemented its standing with nations in the region, expanded its skill from guerrilla and small-theater to nation-size theater, and this:
It has run intensive courses in the use of its drones, used its precision missiles with accuracy, produced thousands of highly trained Special Forces and it has fought an enemy (al-Qaeda) that is much more motivated to fight to the death than any Israeli Special Forces units. [My emphasis]
Israel is essentially paralyzed. Even to the extent, as Magnier relates, of being careful to warn Hezbollah drivers before bombing its supply trucks, because “Israel wanted to avoid human casualties among Hezbollah officers, fully aware of the price of retaliation.“ My emphasis again.
The bad guys have fallen behind – as we know, but as Magnier illustrates so clearly in this appraisal, with his review of the initial western strategies just a few years ago and how they have all been rendered null. Even the US now is an antique target for modern missile and drone technology – and the battle-hardened skill with these weapons definitely resides with the Levant axis rather than with the imperialists and their dogs.
The future? This:
Gaza, along with Beirut, Damascus and Baghdad, are all highly equipped by Tehran with sufficient missiles to inflict real damage on Israel and on US forces deployed in the Middle East. Israel is playing around by targeting various objectives tactically but with no real strategic purpose- only for Netanyahu to keep himself busy and train his Air Force, and to gain publicity in the media. Soon, when Syria recovers and Iraq is stronger, the Israeli promenade will have to cease. Hezbollah in Lebanon may also find a way in the near future to keep its irregular but organised army busy by firing anti-air missiles against Israeli jets and imposing new rules of engagement.
Here’s the link again:
From 2006 to 2019: after failures in Syria, Iraq, Palestine and Yemen, war is no longer an option for Israel
Great job, Elijah J. Magnier!
