U.S. "journalist" Lindsey Snell
On August 9 we reported here on a U.S. spy, Lindsey Snell, who worked with Jabhat al-Nusra in Syria and was arrested when crossing the border from Syria into Turkey:
The Turkish military recently "rescued" a CIA spy who was wounded in the north Latakia region of Syria. The U.S. send helicopters to help its asset. The spy turned out to be journalist Lindsey Snell working on a report with Nusra for the intelligence outfit Vocativ. She was put into Turkish jail for illegally crossing the border.
There is no doubt from the available information that Snell was a spy. The Turkish media call her such. She was with Nusra, not for the first time, had some trouble and needed to get out. The U.S. military launched a huge operation to help her. That is not the treatment a real journalist would get.

Comment: Check out this tweet from Snell, August 5:


Just what exactly was Snell up to, embedded with the CIA's moderate jihadis? And what led to her apparent change in fortune?

Washington has deployed mobile rocket artillery in the south of Turkey in order to target Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) militants in Syria, a special US envoy said on Saturday. This is the first reported rocket strikes delivered by US into Syria.

The US forces hit IS positions close to the Syrian border with Turkey last night, having launched the attack on terrorists with a "newly deployed" High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), the US-led anti-IS coalition's special presidential envoy, Brett McGurk said on Twitter.

The American embassy in Turkey confirmed the HIMARS deployment, calling it "the latest step in US-Turkey cooperation" in fighting the terror group in the region.

Big surprise: Media silent regarding George Soros' hidden hand in U.S. internal affairs

Soros
When the hacktivist group calling themselves DCLeaks released "restricted" documents it obtained from the Internet servers of the Open Society Foundation of George Soros, none of the major so-called watchdog media mentioned it. And yet, those documents revealed more than 50 regional and global initiatives and well-funded programs designed to influence major policy decisions around the world, as well as in the United States.

DCLeaks describes itself as
a new level project aimed to analyze and publish a large amount of emails from top-ranking officials and their influence agents all over the world.

The project was launched by the American hacktivists who respect and appreciate freedom of speech, human rights and government of the people....

We believe U.S. citizens have the right to know how domestic and foreign policies of the United States are shaped and who the real policy maker is.
In many cases that "real policy maker" is George Soros, the billionaire progressive activist with a sordid background of aiding all manner of radical and extremist elements around the globe. AS DCLeaks noted:
The selection [of Soros' servers' documents] shed[s] light on one of the most influential networks operating worldwide. [It] counts more than 50 global and regional programs and foundations. Soros is named as the architect and sponsor of almost every revolution and coup around the world for the last 25 years.
And yet, not a single member of the fourth estate has picked up the story.

Comment: Soros' machinations dovetail nicely with the Empire's agenda of fomenting global chaos to obtain world hegemony, therefore the elites and their lapdog media would have nothing to gain by exposing his subversive activities, no matter what political party he represents.

The Washington Post establishes itself, once again, as an establishment mouthpiece in its caricature of Jill Stein

Jill Stein

Dr. Jill Stein, presumptive Green Party presidential nominee, waves at a rally in Philadelphia, Wednesday, July 27, 2016, during the third day of the Democratic National Convention.
The Washington Post editorial board held a meeting with Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein on August 25. For a Republican or Democratic presidential nominee, this is standard. For a third-party candidate like Stein, the fact that the Post met with her is quite an accomplishment. However, the editorial board crassly attacked her immediately after the meeting.

Like the town hall broadcast on CNN, the meeting offered Stein an all-too-rare opportunity to reach Americans, who may not know she is running for president.

Stein has consistently emphasized the fact that lack of "free primetime media" has a lot to do with why she is only polling three percent. Donald Trump received around $2 billion worth of "free primetime media" during the primary. Hillary Clinton received close to a billion dollars. Bernie Sanders received nearly half of what Clinton received. This kind of media is how citizens get to know who is out there for them to support.

Serbia and IMF meeting
Serbia's growth could pick up further next year after strong performance in the first half pointed to a faster-than-expected recovery, the International Monetary Fund said on Friday, but warned the government against the temptation to overspend.

In its quarterly review, the IMF said it was crucial the country press on with public sector structural reforms as part of its 1.2 billion euro loan agreement in order not to derail a strong recovery.

"Potential growth could be doubled by the end of the programme period," country representative Sebastian Sosa told reporters, adding that public sector companies and utilities needed further streamlining.

Comment: Serbia has been inching closer toward China lately. Don't worry, the IMF plans on keeping them in chains.

A participant of the European Meeting of Antiracist Leaders places a picture in front of a pig farm, situated at the site of a former Roma concentration camp, to commemorate victims of the Holocaust during World War Two in the village of Lety
Czech Finance Minister Andrej Babis had to offer his apologies after he said that a Roma Nazi concentration camp was a labor camp, provoking a wave of public criticism.

"There were times when all Roma worked. What these morons write in newspapers, that Lety was a concentration camp, is a lie, it was a work camp. Whoever did not work, whoosh and he was there," Babis said on Wednesday , speaking to the residents of the northern Czech town of Varnsdorf on a campaign stop for regional elections scheduled for October. Babis is also the country's Deputy prime minister and the founder and leader of the centrist and populist ANO political party.

Desperate aggressor: Killary needs war in Ukraine to stop Trump

Image of Clinton, Putin and Trump
As became known today, September 3rd, US Republican Party candidate Donald Trump has jumped one percentage point ahead of his opponent from the Democratic Party, Hillary Clinton. This is evidenced by the results of a public opinion poll conducted by Reuters and the research company Ipsos. One can safely conclude that this survey has caused panic not only at the Democratic Party headquarters, but also in Ukraine.

It is well known that Ukrainian business and political structures are full of sympathy for the Democratic candidate. Viktor Pinchuk, a former Ukrainiano oligarch and the ex-leader of the Jewish Congress of Ukraine, participated in financing Clinton's electoral campaign. Meanwhile, some members of Donald Trump's team are being "accused" of cooperating with President Viktor Yanukovych's entourage before the coup d'etat in Ukraine.

The Ukrainian issue is thus invisibly present in the US presidential election. Donald Trump recently generated yet another controversy by stating that Crimea's reunification with Russia was legal and that there is even the possibility that the US will recognize the peninsula as Russian territory.

Comment: The Empire wants Killary the conqueror!

Vladimir Nosferatuvich Putin

Putin is winning the U.S. election

Hillary Clinton says "We know that Russian intelligence services, which is part of the Russian government which is under the firm control of Vladimir Putin, hacked into the DNC. And we know that he arranged for a lot of those e-mails to be released." (Director of National Intelligence James Clapper would call this "hyperventilating" but what's he know?).

Anne Applebaum informs us : "This time the goal is to disrupt the American election, discredit the process and, if possible, elect Donald Trump as President of the United States.All available evidence now points to Russian involvement in a thorough hack of the Democratic National Committee."

Speaking of "all available evidence", the WaPo tells us the lack of "fingerprints" is the evidence; CBS says the presence of "fingerprints" is the evidence. One or the other, I guess: but it's all "evidence", isn't it?

A "scholar of Russian espionage and political subversion" informs us" "For the first time since the 1950s, Russian subversion of the American political process has become a presidential campaign issue.

Jill Stein of the Green Party has been contaminated by Putin.

They're everywhere: "Putin's Pawns: Beware the Hillary Clinton-Loathing, Donald Trump-Loving Useful Idiots of the Left ."

Comment: When collected together, the orchestrated smearing of Russia and its leader in the media is pretty obvious.

Killary accuses Putin of 'endorsing foreign interference' in the presidential election

Hillary Clinton and Vladimir Putin
U.S. Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of endorsing "foreign interference" in the presidential election after he said recent leaks of Democratic e-mails were a "public service."

Putin in an interview with Bloomberg news published on September 2 denied accusations that Russia's government was behind the cyber intrusions, but said: "Listen, does it even matter who hacked this data? The important thing is the content that was given to the public."

Clinton spokesman Jesse Lehrich responded in an e-mail to Bloomberg, saying, "Unsurprisingly, Putin has joined [Republican presidential candidate Donald] Trump in cheering foreign interference in the U.S. election that is clearly designed to inflict political damage on Hillary Clinton and Democrats."

Comment: Truth is, there is no collusion between Trump and the Kremlin but there is a social and political smear campaign being waged against Putin and Russia.
