Turkish artillery increasingly violates the ceasefire in the provinces of Idlib and Aleppo, established on March 6 according to the agreements of Russia and Turkey. Since early April, the Turkish military has several times fired at positions of government troops on the territory of the base of the 46th regiment of the Syrian Armed Forces west of Aleppo. This strategic facility is adjacent to the stronghold of the militants - the city of Atareb. Therefore, Ankara and the militants of the "National Liberation Front" NFO), which it supports, conduct almost daily shelling in this direction, the Military Observer portal reports today, April 6.

On the eve of a group of militants tried to penetrate the territory of the base and was fired upon by the Syrian military from heavy machine guns and automatic weapons. In response, the Turkish multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) opened fire on them. Several rockets exploded at the base. According to the Syrian command, there were no losses. The Islamists themselves report that the shelling was from the firing position of the Turkish military.

Comment: Sputnik reports that the Turkish Defense Military has ordered a minimization of movement of its military in Syria due COVID-19 fears.

Kissinger says 'even US' can't defeat Covid-19 alone. His solution? Global NWO government, of course

Henry Kissinger, eminence grise of imperial US foreign policy, has warned in an op-ed that no government - even his beloved hegemon - can defeat Covid-19 alone, implying that the New World Order he's always preached must follow.

If the US doesn't couple its efforts to rebuild its own economy with the first steps toward creating a global government, humanity is doomed, Kissinger wrote in a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed.

"No country, not even the US, can in a purely national effort overcome the virus," Kissinger warned. "Addressing the necessities of the moment must ultimately be coupled with a global collaborative vision and program."
If we cannot do both in tandem, we will face the worst of each.

MH17 trial - False fronts and real conflicts of interest

The Dutch lawyers leading the defence against the charge of premeditated murder in the destruction of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 on July 17, 2014, have no experience of litigation in cases involving aircraft crashes, war crimes, military crimes, or homicide - except for cases when they have defended Dutch police accused of shooting people on the streets of Rotterdam.

The first of the defence lawyers, Sabine ten Doesschate, has never conducted a defence in a murder trial; in her short career so far, she has specialized in white collar fraud. Her leader, Boudewijn van Eijck, has a career record of defending Rotterdam police in collaboration with Rotterdam police commanders and prosecutors; at the time they included Fred Westerbeke, lead prosecutor of the MH17 investigation, and Dedy Woei-A-Tsoi, one of the three prosecutors now in court.

Asked if his relationships with them create a conflict for him to defend in this trial, van Eijck refuses to answer. "Our focus is the MH17 case," he said through a spokesman on Friday, "not the professional careers of the lawyers."

The Trump Administration has designated a white supremacist group a terror organization, marking the first time the U.S. has ever made such a move, according to the Associated Press.

The Russian Imperial Movement was classified a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist" group Monday, and is the first white supremacist group to receive the designation, which will make it illegal for Americans to engage with the organization and freezes any assets it may have in U.S. jurisdictions, the Associated Press reported.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and his counterterrorism coordinator Nathan Sales announced the step.

Wisconsin joins litany of states to suspend in-person voting for upcoming primary elections - UPDATE: State Supreme Court BLOCKS governor's order

Tony Evers
Democratic Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers issued an executive order halting in-person voting set to take place Tuesday due to the coronavirus pandemic, The Hill reported Monday.

Evers suspended the statewide and local elections until June 9, heeding the calls from several Wisconsin mayors to postpone the primary election amid coronavirus concerns. The move also directs the Wisconsin state legislature to convene a special session Tuesday to address the new election date, The Hill reported.

Comment: Wisconsin's Supreme Court blocked the governor's unlawful attempt to block the election primary, as they voted 4-2 that the Evers had the authority to move the election on his own.

With economic crisis looming EU overlords legalize food made from worms & baby crickets to satiate the masses

Brussels plans to drop rules preventing some countries from serving up insects and worms for human consumption. I know that getting a food delivery is tough at the moment, but are we really desperate to swap crisps for crickets?

Probably best not to read this while you're eating but, with the news being wall-to-wall Covid-19 at the moment, a little story may have passed you by. While most of the world is consumed by the fight against the pandemic, the European Union is quietly set to authorise the sale of insects for human consumption. At some point over the next few weeks, its Food Safety Authority is expected to allow mealworms, locusts, and adult crickets onto our plates.

The timing of this may seem a little odd, given that unusual eating practices involving animals in Wuhan are the most likely origin of the virus wreaking havoc on the globe, but apparently these bugs are perfectly safe. Companies won't just be doling out bags of freshly fried crickets, either: burgers, granola and even pasta have all been made out of such creepy crawlies. This is presumably because they think it will be easier for us to wolf down worms provided that they look more like normal food. And not wriggly things that just came out of the earth.

In my recent paper Why Assume There Will Be a 2020 Election?, I took the opportunity of today's multifaceted crisis in order to revisit an important Wall Street funded coup d'état effort of 1933-34. As I explained in that location, this bankers' coup was luckily exposed by a patriotic general named Smedley Darlington Butler during one of the darkest moments of America and profoundly changed the course of history.

The Deep State Plot Against JFK

The danger of World War and a military coup arose again during the short lived administration of John F. Kennedy who found himself locked in a life or death struggle not with Russia, but with the Military Industrial Complex that had become dominated by the many Dr. Strangeloves of the Joint Chief of Staff and CIA who fanatically believed that America could win a nuclear war with Russia. Kennedy's valiant efforts to achieve dialogue with his Soviet counterparts, move towards peace in Vietnam, support of colonial liberation, promotion of space exploration and advocacy of a Nuclear Test Ban treaty made him a target of the Deep State of his time. During this period, this effort was led from the top by JFK's two most powerful American opponents: Allan Dulles (director of the CIA) and General Lyman Lemnitzer (head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff), both of whom were proponents of pre-emptive nuclear war, architects of the Bay of Pigs regime change trap and advocates of Operation Northwoods (an ultimate "inside job" precursor to 9/11 which JFK subverted).

Boris Johnson is continuing his self-isolation inside Downing Street after the initial seven-day period because he is still showing symptoms of coronavirus. The UK prime minister has a temperature, and in a video clip released on his Twitter account said he would continue to stay inside his flat at No 11 until it disappears.

The health secretary, Matt Hancock, who announced last Friday that he also had the illness, is now out of isolation. Johnson said:
"Although I'm feeling better and I've done my seven days of isolation alas I still have one of the minor symptoms, I still have a temperature. So in accordance with government advice I must continue my isolation until that symptom itself goes. But we're working clearly the whole time on our programme to defeat the virus."

Comment: Update 6 April 2020

From the BBC:
He "continues to have persistent symptoms of coronavirus", a spokeswoman said - including a high temperature.

It was described as a "precautionary step" taken on the advice of his doctor.
Specifically, he's been moved to an ICU.

Soros-backed orgs behind Democrat push for 'vote-by-mail' system in upcoming presidential election

Progressive organizations, many backed by billionaire activist George Soros, are at the front lines of a campaign advocating for a "vote by mail" system in the upcoming presidential election, citing fears that the Chinese coronavirus pandemic makes it too dangerous to vote in person.

President Donald Trump warned that voting by mail would hurt the Republican Party, lambasting Democrat proposals for more money in the coronavirus stimulus bill to fund absentee and vote-by-mail options.

"The things they had in there were crazy," Trump said. "They had things - levels of voting that, if you ever agreed to it, you'd never have a Republican elected in this country again."

The pandemic and politics of survival: Horizons of a new kind of dictatorship

The breakdown of the global liberal world order and its foundations

What is happening now is a global breakdown of the world order. It does not matter at all whether the nature of the coronavirus is artificial or not, nor is it even of principal importance whether, if it is artificial, it was deliberately released by the "world government" or not. The epidemic has begun - it is a fact. Now the main thing is to trace how the "world government" has reacted to it.

To clarify, the "world government" is the totality of global political and economic elites and the intellectuals and media (mediacrats) that serve them. Such a "world government" necessarily exists, because on a global scale there are strictly-defined, fundamental norms that determine the basic parameters of politics, economics and ideology.
  • In the economy, the only recognized norm is capitalism, the market economy (which is disputed only by North Korea - not, and this is very important, by China, which presents its own version of national state capitalism under the management of the Communist Party).
  • In politics the only recognized norm is parliamentary liberal democracy, based on civil society being the subject and source of legality and legitimacy (besides North Korea, almost everyone is in agreement with this, although China interprets "civil society" in a special socialist and partly national-cultural optic and carries out mediacratic screening by means other than direct parliamentary elections; and some Islamic states - for example, Iran and the Gulf monarchies - have a number of special features.)
  • In ideology, everyone agrees with the arrangement that any individual has a number of inalienable rights (to life, freedom of conscience, freedom of movement, etc.) which all states and societies are obliged to guarantee.
