Saudi press

....because all the wise people in the world who are experts on American policy and who analyze the images and the videos [of 9/11] agree unanimously that what happened in the [Twin] Towers was a purely American action, planned and carried out within the U.S. Proof of this is the sequence of continuous explosions that dramatically ripped through both buildings. … Expert structural engineers demolished them with explosives, while the planes crashing [into them] only gave the green light for the detonation...

Populist Influence on the 2016 Race for the White House



Populist Influence on the 2016 Race for the White House
James Borzillieri
                The Presidential elections are a characteristic tradition in the United States of America. While every bid for the presidency is worth tuning in to, this year’s fiasco has been the talk of the World Wide Web. The internet, however would be a barren place if it were not for the characters who inhabit it, and two particular candidates have taken the country by storm utilizing this new and exciting platform. I am, of course, talking about the democratic socialist Bernie Sanders and the illustrious Donald J. Trump.
                Such a contest has never before taken place on our soil. Anybody familiar with American politics is well aware that nominations are generally decided more so by the depth of pockets rather than depth of arguments. While money has certainly not been removed from the equation, additional variables, made possible by high-speed information transmission, have off-balanced the long standing equation of establishment politics.
                Thinking back to the beginning of the election cycle, the tone has certainly changed. The reason for which is the diminishing significance of so-called establishment rhetoric. This perceived impotence arguably first made itself known with the rise of the Tea Party, and the legitimization of the libertarian angle with Ron Paul’s commendable 2012 run for president, garnering an alarming 50% support from American military voters. While many consider supporting a third party nothing more than “throwing away your vote,” others possess a broader viewpoint.
                The thought of having a 3rd party running for office is unsettling for the many who can’t conceive anything outside of the hard-lined, big money, petro-politics that the pre-millennial generations have grown up knowing nothing other than. However, the changing tone of high-speed media has opened up the debate in a way that not only undercuts establishment rhetoric, but it has many growing up in a reality where the norm is completely non-existent. While concentrated efforts and enormous sums of money have worked hard to put televisions in every living room in America, the open format of the internet has nearly obliterated any semblance of political or scientific consensus within the national community. There is no establishment to the populist base of voters who have shocked the U.S. status quo and garnered the attention of the rest of the interconnected world. The turn from television and big newspapers as main propagators of news media, to the free and open internet has had an irrevocable effect on the way people go about getting their information, as well as the way candidates go about publicizing themselves.
                While the effect may have come off as a mere disturbance back at the beginning of the cycle, the legitimate possibility of a Sanders or Trump White House is very much being discussed among the grass root bases who support them. While mainstream media continues to downplay this reality with silly statistics such as “likability ratings,” there likewise exist polls that make one wonder why the media bothers expending so many resources on such poorly thought out propaganda. A new survey conducted by the Media Insight Project gauged the opinions of 2,014 U.S. adults across the country. What the surveyors concluded was that a mere 6% of adults expressed “a lot of confidence” in U.S. mainstream media sources.
                No matter your preference, Sanders and Trump have done irreparable damage to the corporate media apparatus, as well as the corrupted bi-fascist parties that have been dominating the playing field since before the civil war. Both have done so in a way that no established candidate could have. This warrants further explanation.
                On the blue side, one could go as far to say that Bernie Sanders didn’t have a hippie’s chance on Wall Street of garnering the support he would need to take on the Clinton crime syndicate. In spite of these odds, he has managed to raise more money from more supporters than any candidate who has come before him. His model will be critically studied and widely implemented in the years to come. This is something no candidate could have achieved in the age before smartphones. The effect of that success has been the gift of a podium that the mainstream cannot revoke. This puts Bernie in an interesting position: it gives him the ability to say whatever he wants, though the man has been restrained to say the least in regards to attacking his opponent, Hillary Clinton.
                While Clinton’s ties to Wall Street are not news to many (especially those who consider themselves part of the opposing party), many lifetime democrats are perking up to this long-standing reality in response to the impressively composed Sanders campaign. He has exposed the Clinton contradiction to the left in a way that no Republican candidate (including Donald Trump) could have ever dreamed of. The bi-polar nature of political opinions in the U.S.A. make it nearly impossible for candidates on either party to impose lasting damage to the opposing side. It isn’t until parties begin exposing the corruption within themselves that respective voter bases fully consider the critiques being put forth. Sanders’ composed, yet scathing comments towards Hillary Clinton have had this effect.
                The same truth is just as applicable to the red side. It would be unimaginable to believe that a Clinton could successfully convince the Republican voting base that corruption is visceral throughout its own ranks. However, insurgencies within the Republican party have invigorated voters, and had an effect similar to that which Sanders has brought down on the Democrats. The biggest difference is that the Republican insurgency has a greater momentum. After the disastrous eight-year Bush Jr. presidency, a rising Tea Party movement began mustering the support of financial conservatives and angry, intelligent rednecks all over the country. Initially led by voices like Ron Paul and Alex Jones, the Tea Party phenomenon didn’t take long to attract the scorn of the IRS as well as the injection of big money into the ranks, resulting in the likes of Ted Cruz (and many others) masquerading as agents of fiscal and social reform.
                While the Tea Party has lost most of its steam, it had a desirable effect in the sense that it displayed to the entire country how acceptable it really is to step outside of established party lines. It also helped articulate the effect that big money can have when allowed to permeate through a budding grass roots movement. Enter Donald Trump to capitalize on the residual discontent that the Tea Party movement helped to churn up.
                Both parties have been split as a result of the outspoken populists; variety has been injected into the mix of American politics for the first time since the end of the Second World War, and the rise of the Libertarians has a truly silent (and possibly completely new) voting base ready to pounce on the opportunity at hand.
                It is interesting to note, given the current political landscape, that establishment rhetoric seems to have hit an all-time low in regards to its ability to stimulate and invigorate American voters. Party leaders have even gone as far to say that “votes don’t matter” in preparation for the upcoming conventions that will decide who will don the title of “nominee.” A centrist such as myself can’t help but fathom (rather, fantasize over) the possibility of both Sanders and Trump getting politically worked over by unfair convention tactics and running in spite of who receives the nomination. The danger of splitting votes as once feared by any third party candidate is then nullified, as both parties would be split. Add Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson into the mix, and suddenly we have a five-party system as well as an undoubtedly much larger voter turnout. Things could get rather interesting following this line.
                The next president of the United States could potentially win the bid with only 21% of the popular vote. Not only that, but such a quantum-leap would open up the landscape for the new parties to stay established while illustrating the possibility and methods to which other populist movements can gain their own representation within the system. Successfully doing so would disorient the shadow government beyond its ability to effectively control the U.S. political system as it currently does.
                If there has ever been a time for change, 2016 has opened up the possibility. As illustrated by contemporary populist movements, change starts at home. Every day voters can make a difference, and this writer is personally fed up with hour-long political debates that all-too-often end with at least one participant concluding “well, there’s nothing we can do about it anyway.” Anybody who knows how to push the power button on a television set can debunk that self-defeating, un-American bullshit. Anybody with a history book can look back even further to take in the magnitude of change that has occurred, and anybody with a brain can get out and participate in the system that so many have laid their lives down trying to preserve. In this century, there is no establishment.

Prize Winning Journalist Chris Hedges Says USA Should Expect a Revolution

"If you’re a journalist, you manipulate facts,” says renegade reporter Chris Hedges at the start of this illuminating Vice interview. “I did it for a living.”
Hedges is an award-winning reporter who spent years in war zones as a foreign correspondent for the New York Times. He now writes political books in addition to a weekly column for Truthdig.com, and he continues to support the work of many activist groups (“I’m surrounded by all these people with piercings and tattoos,”Hedges grins. “That’s where I get my energy from. I think they’re great”).

Chris Hedges is known for his refreshingly honest and intelligent analysis of the world. He’s a self-proclaimed anti-Capitalist who was heavily involved in the 2011 Occupy movement. In this interview with Vice Canada, included below, Hedges claims the movement was “heavily infiltrated by the authorities,” as many activists suspected at the time. “That’s not even a question,” Hedges replies with a wave of the hand.He also discusses the corporate press and laments the death of mainstream investigative journalism of the kind that brought Watergate to the public’s knowledge. Those days are gone, Hedges says, pointing out that corporate shareholders and advertisers dictate news content and angles to such an extent that they have killed real news-gathering.
“The mainstream media doesn’t do journalism. The alternative media does far more real journalism than commercial media. News and the truth are not the same thing. If everybody in power doesn’t dislike you, you’re probably not doing your job properly.”
Hedges also talks about North America’s worrying slide into corporate oligarchy, saying:
“If we remain passive, we are accepting the death sentence being handed to us by these corporate forces. We need mass civil disobedience.”
He is hopeful that people are starting to wake up to the reality of how the world really works. “The game is fixed, and once people know the game is fixed, it gets very dangerous”.
This thought led Hedges to write a new book suggesting the USA is on the edge of a mass revolt, and he cites rising gun crime as just one symptom of this growing unease and frustration. In the video below, Hedges outlines the ‘recipe’ for revolution, and suggests that if it ended with us overthrowing the banking elite, “It wouldn’t be such a bad thing.”

Chris Hedges on What It Takes To Be a Rebel in Modern Times


From Wall Street corruption to why the elites in corporate media have eviscerated traditional investigative journalism, Chris Hedges tries to make sense of the world we live in…

Did Hillary help create isis ?

"The US created and funded a terrorist regime in Syria that would be used to destabilize the region and create a specific advantage for American interests over China and Russia."
Now remember, the reporter said this all happened, according to the paper work from the dod, in 2012. Hillary Clinton left the Secretary of State office in 2013. So, did Hillary know about this? Why is she not being questioned about this? Something to think about during this election year.

Mexicans are leaving

"More Mexican immigrants have returned to Mexico from the US than have migrated to the country since the end of the Great Recession, according to a new analysis."


How to hack isis

The war between the hackers and terrorists is escalating quickly in the wake of the recent Paris attacks. In the short time frame of past two days, Anonymous hacktivist group has declared an open war on ISIS. In response, ISIS was quick to retaliate and called Anonymous ‘idiots’ who just know how to ‘hack email and Twitter accounts’.

All EU

http://thinkprogress.org/world/2015/11/16/3722838/all-paris-attackers-identified-so-far-are-european-nationals-according-to-top-eu-official/

All of the attackers from Friday’s massacre in Paris so far have been identified as European Union nationals, according to a top EU official. The announcement further casts doubt on the validity of a Syrian passport found near the bodies of a slain attacker.

“Let me underline, the profile of the terrorists so far identified tells us this is an internal threat,” Federica Mogherini, the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/Vice-President of the European Commission, said after a meeting with EU foreign ministers. “It is all EU citizens so far. This can change with the hours, but so far it is quite clear it is an issue of internal domestic security.”

The majority of attackers were identified as French or Belgian nationals. An Egyptian passport was also found, but the Egyptian Ambassador to France said it belonged to a critically wounded victim and not a perpetrator. The Syrian passport caused a ruckus, with some politicians in Europe and the U.S. calling for a halt to Syrian refugee resettlement. An increasing number of state governors are trying todefund the settlement program. American officialstold CBS News that the passport might be fake, while British-daily the Independent reported that a man was arrested in Serbia while carrying a Syrian passport with matching details to the one found in Paris.

The beginning of WW3

http://superstation95.com/index.php/world/532

The attacks against multiple civilian targets in Paris Friday night by the ISIS Terrorist Group have turned into actual WAR!  France will invoke Article 5 of the NATO mutual defense Treaty Monday, compelling all NATO members to fight along side France against ISIS.

This is not some "authorization for the use of military force"  this is a Declaration of War.  The trouble is, ISIS is in Syria.  Russia is defending Syria to assist Syrian President Bashar Assad.  When NATO goes to get ISIS, they will necessarily have to go into Syria . . . . where Russia is defending.

Will Russia relent and let NATO attack?  Or will Russia decide this NATO action is a thinly disguised effort to unseat Bashar Assad, and cause Russia to battle NATO?

This is "it" ladies and gentlemen; this is the actual physical beginning of World War 3.

 UPDATE 1:49 PM EDT --   Discussions are taking place in Congress as to whether it will be necessary to intern Muslims in the USA, the way Japanese were Interned after the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941. 

According to well-placed sources in the Defense Department, inquiries have been made by staff from the Congressional leadership, asking if the camps created under the REX-84 program in the mid-1980's are available for use?  When told "Yes" the congressional staff revealed that discussions are taking place among the highest levels of US Congressional leadership about possibly Interning ALL Muslims in the United States. 

"REX-84" is a plan which would accommodate the detention of large numbers of American citizens during times of emergency.

The plan is called REX 84, short for Readiness Exercise 1984. Through Rex-84 an undisclosed number of concentration camps were set in operation throughout the United States, for internment of dissidents and others potentially harmful to the state.

The Rex 84 Program was originally established on the reasoning that if a “mass exodus” of illegal aliens crossed the Mexican/US border, they would be quickly rounded up and detained in detention centers by FEMA.

Existence of the Rex 84 plan was first revealed during the Iran-Contra Hearings in 1987, and subsequently  reported by the Miami Herald on July 5, 1987

” These camps are to be operated by FEMA should martial law need to be implemented in the United States and all it would take is a presidential signature on a proclamation and the attorney general’s signature on a warrant to which a list of names is attached.”

The prevailing thinking today in Congress is that Muslims of today represent a much more dangerous threat than the Japanese during World War 2 and if the US is going to declare war upon ISIS, it may be necessary to control the Muslim population within the USA.

 

 

The internment of Japanese Americans in the United States was the forced relocation and incarceration during World War II of between 110,000 and 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry who lived on the Pacific coast in camps in the interior of the country. Sixty-two percent of the internees were United States citizens. President Roosevelt ordered the Incarceration of Japanese Americans During World War II, shortly after Imperial Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.

In the event of a national "emergency" in our present time, there are now over 800 prison camps in the United States, all fully operational and ready to receive prisoners. They are all staffed and even surrounded by full-time guards, but they are all empty. Under the Rex 84 program many military bases were closed down and turned into prisons.

"Operation Cable Splicer" and "Operation Garden Plot" are the two sub programs which will be implemented once the Rex 84 program is initiated. Garden Plot is the program to control the population. Cable Splicer is the program for an orderly takeover of the state and local governments by the federal government.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is the executive arm of the Rex-84 operations. The Presidential Executive Orders already listed on the Federal Register also are part of the legal framework for this operation.

The camps all have railroad facilities as well as roads leading to and from the detention facilities. Many also have an airport nearby. The majority of the camps can house a population of 20,000 prisoners.

Currently, the largest of these facilities is just outside of Fairbanks, Alaska. The Alaskan facility is a massive mental health facility and can hold thousands of people.

40 counties funding ISIS

http://thefreethoughtproject.com/putin-shares-intel-g20-exposing-isis-financed-40-countries/

Antalya, Turkey – Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced that he has shared intelligence with the other G20 member states, which reveals the 40 countries from which ISIS finances the majority of their terrorist activities. The list reportedly included a number of G20 countries.

“I provided examples based on our data on the financing of different Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) units by private individuals. This money, as we have established, comes from 40 countries and, there are some of the G20 members among them,” Putin told reporters.

In addition to discussing the need to stop the flow of donor money to ISIS, Putin also reiterated the need to stop the illegal oil trade by ISIS.

“I’ve shown our colleagues photos taken from space and from aircraft which clearly demonstrate the scale of the illegal trade in oil and petroleum products,” he said.“The motorcade of refueling vehicles stretched for dozens of kilometers, so that from a height of 4,000 to 5,000 meters they stretch beyond the horizon,” Putin said.

The Islamic State makes an estimated $50 million a month from selling crude from captured oilfields in Iraq and Syria, according to Iraqi intelligence and U.S. officials.

According to a report by Business Insider:

Oil sales — the extremists’ largest single source of continual income — are a key reason they have been able to maintain their rule over their self-declared “caliphate” stretching across large parts of Syria and Iraq. With the funds to rebuild infrastructure and provide the largesse that shore up its fighters’ loyalty, it has been able to withstand ground fighting against its opponents and more than a year of bombardment in the U.S.-led air campaign.

It’s worth noting that within the past 24 hours the U.S. has launched its first strike against an ISIS oil convoy. Prior to Monday, the United States had refused to strike the over 1,000 ISIS controlled tanker trucks out of a stated concern about causing civilian casualties, a dubious assertion at best.

The NY Times reported:

Intensifying pressure on the Islamic State, United States warplanes for the first time attacked hundreds of trucks on Monday that the extremist group has been using to smuggle the crude oil it has been producing in Syria, American officials said.

According to an initial assessment, 116 trucks were destroyed in the attack, which took place near Deir al-Zour, an area in eastern Syria that is controlled by the Islamic State.

The airstrikes were carried out by four A-10 attack planes and two AC-130 gunships based in Turkey.

While the U.S. claims these new operations were planned well in advance of the terrorist attacks in Paris, one can’t help but be suspicious of the timing of the U.S. change in tactics. It seems that the U.S. is being forced closer to the Russian position in the wake of the attacks in France.

During the press conference, Putin went on to stress that an international coalition is needed to more effectively counter the terrorist group, noting Russia’s readiness to support the fight against ISIS.

“Some armed opposition groups consider it possible to begin active operations against IS with Russia’s support. And we are ready to provide such support from the air. If it happens it could become a good basis for the subsequent work on a political settlement,” Putin said.“We really need support from the US, European nations, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Iran,” the Russian president added.

In the wake of the claimed ISIS attacks in Paris, perhaps the NATO contingent involved in Syria will now realize that removing Assad is not the primary goal, and that fighting ISIS is the actual mission.
