Puppet Masters
The top-secret Nuclear Command and Control Facility at Offutt Air Force Base will be named after the late Gen. Curtis LeMay and is one of the most secure buildings in the world, hardened against electromagnetic pulse attacks and wired with high-technology fiber optic communications lines.
The 900,000 square-foot facility is in the final stages of construction and will replace an aging 1950s-era command center 250 yards down the road.
"The presence of America and England in this region means insecurity," Alireza Tangsiri cautioned on Sunday, according to Iranian media. He also suggested that Iran could form a coalition with neighboring states to guarantee security in the Gulf.
Tangsiri's remarks coincide with Gibraltar's decision to release 'Grace 1,' an Iranian oil tanker that was boarded and seized by British Royal Marines there last month. Washington has ordered that the vessel -now renamed to 'Adrian Darya'- be recaptured once it leaves Gibraltar, accusing the ship of transporting oil to Syria to support the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Ghafoor further said that the Pakistani armed forces are fully prepared to repulse any form of Indian aggression. "Kashmir dispute is a fight to be fought for long," he said. Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi termed Rajnath Singh's statement on "No First Use" nuclear policy as a "damning reminder of India's unbridled thirst for violence".
RT America's Sara Montes de Oca spoke with Williamson after traveling to the telecommunication giant's headquarters in Shenzhen, China.
The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this week that governments in Uganda and Zambia had allegedly enlisted Huawei's help to spy on dissenting voices, including tapping into opposition politicians' conversations, cracking encrypted communications, and conducting surveillance.
Comment: It's clear from Huawei's continuing growth on the world stage that US attempts to smear the company just aren't working:
- Say hello to the Russia-China operating system
- How's that blockade working Trump? Not a single European country has banned Huawei
- Engdahl: Is Canada's Huawei arrest an attempt to sabotage Trump-Xi talks?
- Why Washington wants to ban Huawei: US wants to spy and China won't cooperate

Ships from nine NATO countries sail during BALTOPS 2019 exercise in the Baltic Sea, June 2019
Though the Adriatic Sea is a "NATO lake" and the alliance's expansion in the Baltics and the Black Sea has brought it to Russia's doorstep, the navies acquired along the way are pretty much useless, argued Thomas-Durell Young, a lecturer at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California.
Young's article, titled 'NATO's selective naval blindness' and published in the most recent issue of the Naval War College Review, makes the case that the situation is "both serious and desperate," and that the navies of Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, Albania and Montenegro all suffer from not just old ships but "legacy concepts" when it comes to sea power.
Comment: That's a lot of countries the lecturer is hoping to use in NATO's demented aggression towards Russia.

U.S. military officials in Iraq will now seek out Iraqi approval before launching any air operations, a move made a day after that nation's prime minister announced a ban of unauthorized flights, including those involving coalition forces fighting ISIS.
Comment: Israel is taking increasingly desperate measures to get the US-Iran war going.
On Aug 6, Hong Kong media reported two meetings between a US political counselor and separatist leaders. Julie Eadeh, who works at the US Consulate General in Hong Kong, was caught on camera meeting with opposition figures Martin Lee and Anson Chan.
When I say "accidentally," what I mean is that he likely didn't know he was being secretly recorded and that his remarks would be made public.
He also admitted the Times' staff is loaded with left-wingers "who cheer us when we take on Donald Trump, but they jeer at us when we take on Joe Biden."
Yeah, there's a real shocker.
Greg Bean likens the revolutionary work of Julian Assange to that of Johannes Gutenberg who invented the printing press. Government reaction, 580 years later, is similarly savage.
Five hundred and eighty years ago, Johannes Gutenberg introduced the printing press to the world. That single act created a free press which gave birth to the concept of freedom of speech. The two are inextricably linked; printing is a form of speech.
Gutenberg's invention started the Printing Revolution, a milestone of the 2nd millennium that initiated the modern period of human history including the Renaissance, the Reformation, the Age of Enlightenment, and the Scientific Revolution, and began the knowledge-based economy that spread learning to the masses.
Such mass communication permanently altered the structure of society. Removing control of information from the hands of the powerful and delivering it into the hands of the disempowered.

But not content with that, [in phase three] the propaganda was extended to China's economic development, its international trade, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, its Silk and Belt Road Initiative, its development bank, and other facilities and trade initiatives, through which China is accused of trying to control the world; an accusation made by the very nation that threatens economic embargo or worse, nuclear annihilation, to anyone, friend or foe, who resists its attempt to control the world.
The fourth phase is the US attempt to degrade the Chinese economy with punitive "tariffs," essentially an embargo on Chinese goods. That the objective is not better trade deals but to bring China to its knees is the fact that the negative effect of these tariffs on American consumers, farmers and manufacturers is considered secondary to the principal objective.
