NSA spying outrage: Berlin outraged by alleged US spying

The arrest of a German intelligence employee for allegedly spying for the US has caused an uproar among German politicians. The country's foreign minister has demanded an immediate clarification of the situation from Washington.

"If the reports are true, then we're not talking about trifles," Frank-Walter Steinmeier said on a visit to Mongolia, DPA reports. He added that prompt clarification of the details in the case were in the "US's own interest."

Earlier, US Ambassador to Germany John B. Emerson was summoned to the German Foreign Office to answer questions concerning the recent arrest of a 31-year-old German foreign intelligence agency (BND) employee, who confessed to having spied for the US.

Comment: As Sott.net editors made clear on last night's Sott Talk Radio show, there is growing evidence that the USA's days as the dominant world power are numbered, and indeed, that the 'Number 1' position that the USA has enjoyed for the last 100 years has been an aberration, an anomaly that has caused untold suffering on the planet and only came about through manipulation, threats, dirty tactics and aggression.

The reality of the situation is that the majority of the world's resources are found in Eurasia, and that the nations of the Eurasian landmass have been kept artificially divided and 'down' by the machinations of the US elite and their ideological kin in Western Europe. With the resurgence of Eurasian nations, primarily Russia and China, and the increasing exposure of the US economy being backed mainly by military force rather than tangible assets, the old status quo is being seen as no longer tenable, and the USA is increasingly being exposed as a failing and desperate Empire that is acting in increasingly erratic and irrational ways as it sees the writing on the wall.

IS, the Iraqi jihadist group claiming world muslim leadership

The Islamic State (IS) jihadist group which spearheaded a sweeping militant assault that overran swathes of Iraq is now claiming leadership of the world's Muslims.

Known for its ruthless tactics and suicide bombers, IS has carried out frequent bombings and shootings in Iraq, and is also arguably the most capable force fighting President Bashar al-Assad inside Syria.

But it truly gained international attention last month, when its fighters and those from other militant groups swept through the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, then overran swathes of five provinces north and west of Baghdad.

The group led by "caliph" Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and backed by thousands of fighters in Syria and Iraq, some of them Westerners, appears to be surpassing Al-Qaeda as the world's most dangerous and influential jihadist group.

Was kidnapping of 3 Settler teens an Israeli false-flag operation?

Evidence that came to light after Israel removed its gag order on information regarding the June 12 kidnapping and murder of three Jewish Israeli students suggests that it could have been an Israeli government operation that was intentionally used to punish Hamas and break up the new Palestinian unity government.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had immediately accused Hamas of the kidnapping - without presenting any evidence - and proceeded to "conduct a search" throughout the entirety of the West Bank until the bodies were reportedly found on June 30th.

The "search" entailed arresting and beating up about 600 Hamas members (including legislators) and trashing about 2100 homes; Israeli forces killed at least 7 Palestinians. Israel also heightened its daily air strikes on the Gaza Strip, which has been under the Israeli blockade since Sept. 2006. The Gaza government appealed to the UN for relief, which responded by condemning the kidnappings rather than the massive abuse of the Palestinian population. And then urging "all parties" to show restraint.

Comment: It wouldn't come as a big surprise if this was an Israeli "false flag" operation - it's one of their specialties and psychopaths don't care about 'their own people' anyway.

There are two possible scenarios, if this is true, LIHOP and MIHOP. "Let it happen on purpose" (LIHOP) lets events happen unfettered to exploit the situation for some political/ military gain; "Make it happen on purpose" (MIHOP) means that the events were staged from start to finish by the "injured" party. Whatever happened, it very much looks like at least LIHOP was involved.

Police investigating Westminster paedophile ring - 'more than 10' UK politicians implicated

Cyril Smith
© REX FEATURESCyril Smith: paedophile in power.
More than 10 current and former politicians are on a list of alleged child abusers held by police investigating claims of a Westminster paedophile ring.

MPs or peers from all three main political parties are on the list, which includes former ministers and household names.

Several, including Cyril Smith and Sir Peter Morrison, are no longer alive, but others are still active in Parliament.

The existence of the list was disclosed by Peter McKelvie, the whistleblower whose claims prompted Operation Fernbridge, the Scotland Yard investigation into allegations of a paedophile network with links to Downing Street.

Mr McKelvie, a retired child protection team manager who has spent more than 20 years compiling evidence of alleged abuse by authority figures, said he believed there was enough evidence to arrest at least one senior politician.

It comes as David Cameron ordered the most senior civil servant at the Home Office to conduct a fresh investigation into what happened to a missing dossier on alleged paedophiles in Westminster in the 1980s.

Fascist Kiev orders 'loyalty checks' of Slavyansk police after militia forced out

Mariupol

An internal investigation will be launched against all Ukrainian police officers who stayed in the city of Slavyansk and were reportedly detained after the militia of Donetsk People's Republic broke out of the besieged city and relocated their forces.

Ukraine's Ministry of Internal Affairs issued a statement on Saturday evening, announcing that soon a new head of Slavyansk police will be appointed, while in the meantime "an internal investigation of each member of the local police force will be launched."

The decision to investigate Slavyansk's law enforcement officers, was also announced by Deputy Interior Minister Sergei Yarovoy.

"During these official investigations we will determine if police officers in Slavyansk collaborated with the separatists or remained faithful to the oath to the Ukrainian people," Yarovoy said, adding that a new police force in the city will be formed. He also said that police officers from other Ukrainian regions have already voiced their wish to come serve in Slavyansk.

According to unconfirmed reports from the ground, many of those police officers, who did not leave the city along with self-defense forces or fled earlier, have already been arrested by Ukrainian forces, as was promised by Interior Minister Arsen Avakov.

Comment: A fascist government that demands an oath of loyalty deserves none.


Propaganda

U.S. State Dept., NY Times caught faking photos of Russian forces in Ukraine

Obama
Idiot president, idiot government, idiot media.
The State Department and the NY Times got caught red-handed with faked evidence of Russian aggression in East Ukraine. But the story is now one of a double and maybe a triple hoax.

One might become curious at the US repeatedly claiming that Russian troops and agents were the tip of the spear on the East Ukraine civic building takeovers. Why? Because day after day the charges went on and on without any proof being put on the table.

Now mind you, this is after we have had several big intercept releases, which we assume were from Russian intelligence, starting with Victoria Nuland and her potty mouth discussing who was going to be in the post-coup government in Kiev. This is the same Ms. Nudlemann that was shoehorned into a top level State Dept. job some years ago with only four years of college and no diplomatic experience. It is the kind of placement that would catch the eye of counter-intelligence people of someone being planted.

What made her position so strange is that she had started as an assistant to Dick Cheney, so her qualifications were family and Israel Lobby political connections. That she was kept over from the Bush thugs by Obama is still mind boggling, when all the NeoCons should have been cleaned out in the first day security sweep.

Oops! Palestinian teen brutally beaten by Israeli police turns out to be American -- U.S. 'profoundly troubled'

Image
The US has condemned the beating and detention of a 15-year-old Palestinian-American by Israeli police after a massive social media campaign exploded in cyber space decrying the actions and hypocrisy of Israeli authorities.


Comment: Israel can 'create its own reality' as much as it pleases; but as long as the truth is available, people around the world will continue to expose Israel for what it really is: a psychopathic monster.


"We can confirm that Tarek Khdeir, an American citizen, is being held by Israeli authorities in Jerusalem. [Tarek Abu Khdeir ] was visited by an official from the US Consulate General in Jerusalem today," US State Department spokeswoman, Jen Psaki, said in a press release.

The US is "profoundly troubled" by reports that the teenager was "severely beaten while in police custody" while visiting Israel on vacation from Tampa Florida, and strongly condemns "any excessive use of force."

"We are calling for a speedy, transparent and credible investigation and full accountability for any excessive use of force," Psaki said.

A shocking video of the brutal attack that was leaked on the internet, showing Israeli police officers savagely beating the 15-year-old cousin of Mohammad Abu Khdeir who was burnt alive in East Jerusalem, has prompted outrage in the Palestinian community.

Comment: The Israeli police really shot themselves in the foot on this one. As long as their victims are "just Palestinians", the Israelis get away with murder.

Pedophilia 'natural and normal'? Pedo-programming almost complete

Plummer O'Carroll
Prof Ken Plummer, left, and former PIE head Tom O'Carroll: apologists for child rapists.
"Paedophilic interest is natural and normal for human males," said the presentation. "At least a sizeable minority of normal males would like to have sex with children ... Normal males are aroused by children."

Some yellowing tract from the Seventies or early Eighties, era of abusive celebrities and the infamous PIE, the Paedophile Information Exchange? No. Anonymous commenters on some underground website? No again.

The statement that paedophilia is "natural and normal" was made not three decades ago but last July. It was made not in private but as one of the central claims of an academic presentation delivered, at the invitation of the organisers, to many of the key experts in the field at a conference held by the University of Cambridge.

Other presentations included "Liberating the paedophile: a discursive analysis," and "Danger and difference: the stakes of hebephilia."

Hebephilia is the sexual preference for children in early puberty, typically 11 to 14-year-olds.

Another attendee, and enthusiastic participant from the floor, was one Tom O'Carroll, a multiple child sex offender, long-time campaigner for the legalisation of sex with children and former head of the Paedophile Information Exchange. "Wonderful!" he wrote on his blog afterwards. "It was a rare few days when I could feel relatively popular!"

Last week, after the conviction of Rolf Harris, the report into Jimmy Savile and claims of an establishment cover-up to protect a sex-offending minister in Margaret Thatcher's Cabinet, Britain went into a convulsion of anxiety about child abuse in the Eighties. But unnoticed amid the furore is a much more current threat: attempts, right now, in parts of the academic establishment to push the boundaries on the acceptability of child sex.

Comment: There is a definite campaign to normalize pedophilia, and probably the biggest reason is a simple one: the people in power are often violent pedophiles. Savile et al. are essentially fall guys for a problem much more insidious and systemic.

Duh! Child Abuse cover-up by UK Government possible

Tebbit
Lord Tebbit
Former Conservative British cabinet minister Lord Tebbit says there "may well" have been a political cover-up over child abuse at Westminster in the 1980s.

Lord Tebbit, who served in a series of senior ministerial posts under Margaret Thatcher, says the instinct at the time was to protect "the system" and not delve too deeply into uncomfortable allegations.


Comment: Uncomfortable for whom, though? The perpetrators in public office!


His incendiary claim follows the admission by the Home Office that more than 100 files relating to historic organised child abuse over a period of 20 years have gone missing.

Appearing on BBC1's The Andrew Marr Show on Sunday, Lord Tebbit said: "At that time I think most people would have thought that the establishment, the system, was to be protected and if a few things had gone wrong here and there that it was more important to protect the system than to delve too far into it.


Comment: This is psychopathic double speak, meaning we politicians need to be protected from our evil actions, can't have the sheeple finding out what we are doing!

Talk of a North American Union

Image
© wikipedia
NEW YORK - In recent weeks, both General David Petraeus and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., have woven into public speeches the theme of combining the United States, Canada and Mexico into a single, North American Union.

"After America, there is North America," explained Petraeus, the former U.S. military commander and former head of the CIA, to a panel entitled "After America, What?" held at the Margaret Thatcher Conference on Liberty on June 18, 2014, hosted by the Center for Policy Studies in Great Britain.

In his presentation to the conference, Petraeus proclaimed the coming of the "North American decade," a vision he explained was founded on the idea of putting together the economies of the United States, Canada and Mexico, some 20 years after the creation of North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA.

"In each of these economies there are four revolutions going on," Petraeus continued, naming the following: an energy revolution, in which the United States is leading the world in the production of natural gas and shale oil, combined with Canada's enormous resources in the Alberta tar sands and Mexico opening up the state-owned Pemex to international oil companies; an information and technology revolution led by Silicon Valley; a manufacturing revolution; and a life sciences revolution.
