The UK military has a team of high-ranking soldiers embedded in the Saudi Arabian armed forces who are believed to be taking their orders from Saudi commanders. The British program, details of which have long been kept secret from the British parliament and public, involves training the Saudis in "internal security".

Paid for by the Saudi regime - including the salaries and living costs of the British soldiers - the team's role is controversial given the kingdom's repressive political system, Daily Maverick reported. The report also raises questions because British soldiers are embedded in a branch of the Saudi military which is involved in the devastating war in Yemen.

The British Military Mission to the Saudi Arabian National Guard (BMM SANG) trains the de facto protection force of the ruling House of Saud and was established in 1964. An elite, 130,000-strong force with soldiers drawn from tribes loyal to the ruling dynasty, the Saudi Arabian National Guard (SANG) is separate from the regular Saudi army. Its central role is to defend the regime from a coup.

Netanyahu's attack on Gaza really meant to target political foes, Gantz and Joint List of Israeli parties

Benjamin Netanyahu's motivation in killing a Palestinian commander in Gaza was partly political, a former Israeli negotiator said today: Netanyahu aims to show that his chief rival to be prime minister, Benny Gantz, cannot be counted on to provide security to the country. In the wake of the attack, a "convoy" of Netanyahu's political allies in the Likud party have issued statements that Gantz is not trustworthy because he will depend on the Joint List of Palestinian parties in order to become prime minister, the negotiator said.

Moty Cristal, a former peace negotiator and lt. colonel in the Israeli army, spoke on i24 News today and said that the timing of the attack was not "purely taking advantage of the window of opportunity" to kill Baha Abu al-Ata, the leader of Islamic Jihad in Gaza. In fact, Cristal said, Avigdor Lieberman has said that when he was Defense Minister (2016-2018), Netanyahu rejected his recommendation that Israel kill Abu al-Ata. Islamic Jihad reportedly attacked Israel in September — when Netanyahu was forced off a stage in Ashkelon out of concern that he was within range.

Comment: Leaving the politics aside, Israel's recent attacks have left Palestinians in further pain which spurred this request for help:
Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh called on Israel to stop strikes at the Gaza Strip, appealing to the United Nations for help.
"Israel must immediately stop its ongoing aggression against our people in Gaza. We call upon the United Nations to provide international protection to our people who continue to be subjected to Israeli violations and crimes both in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip", Shtayyeh said on Twitter.
At the same time, Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) said continued to strike Islamic Jihad terror targets in the Gaza Strip. According to the military, several rocket launchers, as well as an underground terror infrastructure and operations rooms were hit by the strikes, in response to the rockets launched earlier in the day from the northern Gaza Strip.


The confrontation between Israel and Hamas escalated early on Tuesday after Israeli airstrikes killed Baha Abu Al-Atta, a top commander from the Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad in the Gaza Strip, triggering a fierce response. The 42-year-old leader was said to have been responsible for hundreds of terror attacks and IDF suspected him of preparing a new attack against Israel.

SOTT Focus: Bolivia Coup Led by Christian Fascist Paramilitary Leader And Millionaire - With Foreign Support

Union Juvenil Fascists Bolivia coup
Bolivian coup leader Luis Fernando Camacho is a far-right multi-millionaire and an ultra-conservative Christian fundamentalist groomed by a fascist paramilitary notorious for its racist violence
Bolivian coup leader Luis Fernando Camacho is a far-right multi-millionaire who arose from fascist movements in the Santa Cruz region, where the US has encouraged separatism. He has courted support from Colombia, Brazil, and the Venezuelan opposition.

When Luis Fernando Camacho stormed into Bolivia's abandoned presidential palace in the hours after President Evo Morales's sudden November 10 resignation, he revealed to the world a side of the country that stood at stark odds with the plurinational spirit its deposed socialist and Indigenous leader had put forward.

With a Bible in one hand and a national flag in the other, Camacho bowed his head in prayer above the presidential seal, fulfilling his vow to purge his country's Native heritage from government and "return God to the burned palace."

"Pachamama will never return to the palace," he said, referring to the Andean Mother Earth spirit. "Bolivia belongs to Christ."

Shocking proof how Google censors health news

June 3, 2019, Google implemented a broad "core update"1 that in one fell swoop eliminated most Mercola.com pages from its search results. Virtually overnight, Google traffic to my site dropped by approximately 99.9%.

Considering Mercola.com has been the most visited natural health site for the last 16 years, it's no great surprise that we were listed as one of the biggest losers in Google's June algorithm update.2

I wrote about the ramifications of Google's core update in two articles at the end of June 2019. In Part 1, I discussed the effects that the new search algorithm and updated quality rater guidelines is having on traffic to this site.

Comment: The censorship of alternative health information is getting out of hand. The elite are pushing more and more to bury truthful information in multiple subjects to attempt to steer public perception and derive benefits for themselves. Its become so blatantly obvious that anyone giving even the most cursory of investigations can't help but see the information is being controlled. Unfortunately, most people aren't inclined to question where their information is coming from and whose interests are benefited.

SOTT Focus: Pathologizing Conspiracy Theories is The Psychopathic Government's Way of Suppressing Dissent

Conspiracy theory definition
© Department of Politics and International Relations
The term 'conspiracy theory' has long been used to discredit anyone pointing out collusion between powerful people, but efforts to pathologize dissent as 'conspiracism' are doomed to collapse under the weight of reality.

Conspiracy theories are divisive, dangerous, even evil, according to the mainstream media. They cause "violence, including terrorism," former Obama administration official Cass Sunstein notoriously declared, and the FBI's Phoenix field office recently reiterated. They're a way for ignorant people to make sense of the world, academics cry, or a holdover from the caveman era, when primitive man had to suspect enemies around every corner. More recently, they've been described as a way for white people to deal with demographic changes.

But conspiracies are everywhere in American politics today in a way that is nearly impossible to ignore. Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's sweetheart deal, given an open-door 13-month sentence despite evidence of abusing and trafficking scores of girls ("he belongs to intelligence," the prosecutor later claimed he was told), the machinations of the so-called Deep State ("thank God for the Deep State!" ex CIA director John McLaughlin chuckled, live on CSPAN), and the CIA's fomenting of coups around the world are just the tip of a massive iceberg we are told does not exist except in the minds of crazy or backward people - one on which the ship of state has wrecked itself again and again.

SOTT Focus: Peak Hubris

Paul Edwards

Capitol Hill
"Hubris" is defined as rash and foolish pride, a dangerous overconfidence, manifested with arrogance. The Deep State vaunts our "exceptionalism", and since Reagan's "City on a HIll" trope Americans have been assured by all succeeding Presidents that ours is the "indispensible nation". The word describes the way America sells itself to the world, and has for generations.

The yawning cognitive gap between our nomenklatura's relentless self-promotion and its pathetic history of botched, humiliating failures in every single act of Imperial overreach, demands examination. Are we at Peak Hubris? When exactly should the hubris of a vicious, lying, sloganeering criminal state be identified as what it is, a cover for unhinged stupidity?

Comment: Chances are, the end of 'pax Americana' will be marked by major global chaos and destruction of several different kinds.

Peter Schiff: People should ditch dollar, fiat currencies in general and buy gold which is 'a real safe haven'

The real driver behind the rise of gold prices is the world's central banks' buying spree, says Peter Schiff of Euro Pacific Capital.

The veteran broker tells RT's Boom Bust, false optimism based on expectations of a US-China trade deal which is "not going to happen" was also driving the price.

He explains that last week's sharp rise of interest rates was due to growing inflation pressures in the economy and because there's not enough demand for all of the bonds being sold.

"All of this is very bullish for gold and so rather than simply selling bonds people should be buying gold because they need to get out of the dollar," says Schiff. "In fact they need to get out of the fiat currencies in general and seek a real safe haven - and that's gold," he adds.

The Mexican foreign minister will demand an emergency meeting of the Organization of American States which he accused to remain silent after the "military pronouncement and police operations".

The Mexican government said Monday it recognizes Evo Morales as the "legitimate" president of Bolivia, denouncing that his resignation was due to a "coup" carried out by the army, which it described as a serious setback for the region.

Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard also said the administration of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador would not recognize a military government in the Andean country.

Turkey has repatriated one Daesh (also known as ISIL or ISIS) terrorist from the United States and this week will deport several more terrorists back to Germany, Turkey's Interior Ministry said on Monday.

"A US citizen Daesh terrorist has been repatriated after the completion of legal procedures," Ismail Catakli, the interior ministry spokesman, told Anadolu news agency.

The deportation of a German Daesh terrorist is in progress, Catakli said, adding that a Danish Daesh terrorist would also be repatriated on Monday.

"So, a total of three foreign national terrorists will be deported from our country today," he stated, noting that seven more German Daesh terrorists will also be deported on November 14.

The legal proceedings for the two Irish terrorists caught in Syria were about to end and they would also be repatriated soon, he added.

"Two more German terrorists who had been captured in Syria will be deported [...] this week. In addition, the legal proceedings for the 11 French terrorists who had been captured on the Syrian territories are in progress," Catakli said.

"Turkey will extradite them no matter what," he stressed.

Russian MPs allow use of swastika - but only to condemn Nazi ideology


RT
Tue, 12 Nov 2019 18:46 UTC
soviet nazi poster
© SputnikA Soviet patriotic poster from 1945, stating: “The enemy is insidious – don’t lose your guard.”
The swastika and other symbols of the Third Reich can be used, but only if it's done to condemn Nazism, the State Duma ruled. The previous legislation was too harsh, even making addressing classic WWII movies a problem.

There was an outright ban on Nazi symbols in Russia due to them offending the memory of the grave losses suffered by the country during the Great Patriotic War against the German invaders in 1941-45.

But the amendments to the relevant law, which MPs passed in the second reading on Tuesday, allow for the restrictions to be lifted in cases when those symbols are used "to form a negative attitude towards the ideology of Nazism and when signs of propaganda or justification of Nazism are absent." This includes art, science, education and all other areas.

The changes were needed to correct "an absurd situation," one of the deputies behind the initiative, Elena Yampolskaya, explained.
Our people want to honor the memory of their ancestors and uphold the legacy of the Great Patriotic War, but doing this through visual means, while avoiding any Nazi symbols, is almost impossible.
Yampolskaya wondered how the authors of the previous legislation could forget about the World War II movies from the "golden portfolio" of Soviet cinema; patriotic posters from that period, which may, for example, show "a Soviet soldier smashing the swastika - a Nazi symbol - with his foot," historic photos, videos and other materials.

A total ban on Nazi symbols is also wrong as "one should never forget, what his enemies look like," she added.


Comment: That's one reason. Total bans like this are ridiculous on almost every level. But it's nice to see Russian legislators at least moving in the direction of common sense. Meanwhile, in Western culture, the move is increasingly towards total bans of just this sort. For instance: Black conservative removed from meeting over Justin Trudeau blackface
