This news was buried under the "curiously coincidental" Antifa - Black Lives Matter riots

We have real news for you here. Hillary Clinton is to face a deposition in September. Another article on The Duran discusses the involvement of George Soros and Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation in the Antifa-spurred Black Lives Matter riots. This news piece is about one week old, yet, it was almost completely buried in the furor of demonstrations and riots being covered all across the United States and even internationally.

Hillary Clinton, for the first time, may be in real trouble. The website Where is the Buzz picked up a CNBC on June 3rd which noted that Hillary Clinton lost her legal challenge to the order for her to be deposed in regards to the now all-but-forgotten unsecured private e-mail server she used to send State-level e-mails.

It is about time for this criminal to face the music.

Comment: Kudos to Judicial Watch for not letting go of such a momentous scandal. They are exposing the rot that pervaded the Executive, DOJ and FBI.

The US and Israel are scaring the International Criminal Court away from helping Palestine

ICC Israel
The International Criminal Court has never done much for Palestinians, but it will do even less under intimidation

In the near-two decades since the International Criminal Court was set up to try the worst violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law, it has faced harsh criticism for its highly selective approach to the question of who should be put on trial.

Created in 2002, the court, it was imagined, would act as a deterrent against the erosion of an international order and help to prevent a repetition of the atrocities of the Second World War.

Such hopes did not survive long.

The court, which sits in The Hague in the Netherlands, almost immediately faced a difficult test: whether it dared to confront the world's leading superpower, the United States, as it launched a "war on terror".

The ICC's prosecutors refused to grasp the nettle posed by the US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. Instead, they chose the easiest targets; for too long, it looked as though war crimes were only ever committed by Africans.

MH17 court cartoon: Dutch judge presents bombshell, US delivers dud - no satellite evidence of Russian shootdown

bugs bunny
The foundation stone of the Dutch prosecution of the Russian state, three Russian soldiers and a Ukrainian from Donbass for shooting down Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 is the US satellite imagery of the missile launch, trajectory, and detonation. The US Government publicly laid this foundation within hours of the incident, on July 17, 2014, following the destruction of the 298 people on board.

If the satellite images are not presented in the trial, which began hearings again this week, the prosecution case fails, either because the US refuses to declassify and release the images, or because they don't exist. If it can be proved that the US has lied about the satellite evidence, and that Dutch prosecutors are repeating this lie in court, then the defence will have the foundation for summary dismissal of the charges.

On March 23, the presiding judge Hendrik Steenhuis issued an order for the prosecution to produce in court the US satellite images. This week, on June 8, Steenhuis announced the prosecution had responded with a memorandum prepared by another Dutch prosecutor interpreting the satellite images but without revealing them. "The American authorities informed us that they cannot provide any additional information regarding the launch of the missile... and the court understands from this that no further information is to be added to the file as a result."

The judge did not say this is a violation of his disclosure order. The defence lawyers have not announced the evidence is hearsay, unverifiable, and inadmissible in a court of law. Neither the defence lawyers nor Steenhuis himself have charged the prosecution with contempt of court. The prosecution lawyers, who are continuing this week with an outline of their case, are preparing to repeat the US lie.

Skripals' doctor admits he isn't sure novichok was their poison

James Haslam
Dr James Haslam (lead image) was the doctor in charge at Radnor Ward, the intensive care unit of Salisbury District Hospital, when Dawn Sturgess was admitted on June 30, 2018, and died on July 8. She is the woman whom the British Prime Minister, Metropolian Police, Crown Prosecution Service, and Wiltshire county coroner David Ridley, have all declared to have died from poisoning by a Russian-made nerve agent called Novichok. This, they all say, was brought to the UK by Russian soldiers who have been named and officially charged, not with killing Sturgess, but with trying to kill Sergei and Yulia Skripal, and leaving behind their weapon, a counterfeit bottle of perfume, where Sturgess and her companion found it several weeks later.

Haslam is so important to the story of this Russian weapon, which hadn't existed until Sturgess used it on her herself and then died from it, that the state British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) assigned Haslam a part in each of the three episodes of the film called "The Salisbury Posionings". Haslam is the only doctor from the intensive care unit treating the Skripals and Sturgess who is depicted in the BBC drama. The film will be broadcast next week.

Haslam himself claims he "led the team who cared for the critically ill patients during the Salisbury Nerve Agent Incident." A committed Christian, Haslam also gives public lectures on "how his faith and interests in challenging medicine and ethics played a role at the centre of this major incident."

Before the make-believe Haslam does what the BBC scripted him to do in the movie, Haslam prepared a research report for his medical colleagues entitled "Organophosphorus nerve agent poisoning: managing the poisoned patient." It was published in the British Journal of Anaesthesia, on April 5, 2019, with three co-authors. These three are military agents - one from the Royal Navy working on a Defence Ministry grant; one from the Ministry's Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, the chemical warfare establishment at Porton Down; and one from the Royal Centre for Defence Medicine, an armed forces hospital in Birmingham. Discovered by Liane Theuer, the report can be read here.

The United States and Russia have agreed on a time and place for nuclear arms negotiations this month and invited China, President Donald Trump's arms negotiator says.

"Today agreed with the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister [Sergei] Ryabkov on time and place for nuclear arms negotiations in June," U.S. Special Envoy for Arms Control Marshall Billingslea wrote on Twitter on June 8. "China also invited. Will China show and negotiate in good faith?" he added, without providing further details.

There were no immediate comments from Russian officials.

Earlier, Bloomberg quoted an unidentified U.S. State Department official as saying that Ryabkov and Billingslea would meet in Vienna on June 22.

The official didn't rule out that the United States may be willing to extend the New Start nuclear-weapons treaty, if Russia "commits to three-way arms control with China and helps to bring a resistant Beijing to the table," according to Bloomberg.

CEO writes to US Congress calling for 'national dialogue' about use in law enforcement

IBM is pulling out of the facial recognition market and is calling for "a national dialogue" on the technology's use in law enforcement.

The abrupt about-face comes as technology companies are facing increased scrutiny over their contracts with police amid violent crackdowns on peaceful protest across America.

In a public letter to Congress, IBM chief executive, Arvind Krishna, explained the company's decision to back out of the business, and declared an intention "to work with Congress in pursuit of justice and racial equity, focused initially in three key policy areas: police reform, responsible use of technology, and broadening skills and educational opportunities."


Comment: Note that this is a private firm attempting to influence key policy areas within Congress.


The company, Krishna said, "no longer offers general purpose IBM facial recognition or analysis software.

House Dems kneel, unveil police reform bill

Congressional Democrats introduced a large police reform bill on Monday after kneeling for eight minutes and 46 seconds in memory of George Floyd, whose death sparked nationwide protests.

The "Justice in Policing Act of 2020" aims to increase transparency and limit abuses after unrest over Floyd's May 25 death when Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck until he died.

"The martyrdom of George Floyd gave the American experience a moment of national anguish as we grieve for the black Americans killed by police brutality," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said at a press conference.

"In the Senate, Democrats are going to fight like hell to make this a reality," said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).

Pelosi said in response to a reporter's question that she does not support abolishing police, a position that's gained momentum among many Democratic politicians following protests, but said she could support "rebalancing some of our funding" so that issues such as mental health would be handled "more directly" rather than by police.

Comment: Some were not impressed:

Iran: Spy convicted of helping US kill Qassem Soleimani to be executed

An Iranian national convicted of spying for the US and Israel by helping target top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani will be executed, Iran's judiciary said on Tuesday.

Mahmoud Mousavi Majd was convicted of spying on Iran's armed forces, which led to the killing of Soleimani, the head of Iran's elite Quds Force, in a US drone strike in Iraq.

Mahmoud Mousavi Majd was convicted of spying on "especially the Quds Force and on the whereabouts and movements of martyr General Qassem Soleimani" for large sums of money from both Israel's Mossad and the CIA, judiciary spokesman Gholamhossein Esmaili told a televised news conference.

Esmaili offered little information about the convicted man.

The decision immediately raised questions about how Majd would have had access to Soleimani's travel information. The Iranian judiciary spokesman did not say when Majd would be executed, other than that it would be "soon". He also stopped short of directly linking the information allegedly offered by Majd to Soleimani's death.

Comment: Hmmm, is this the Iranian leadership 'tying up loose ends'? Did he know something he shouldn't about US-Iranian collusion against Soleimani?

Incidentally, this comes just hours after Iran returned an American spy to US soil.
