Best of the Web: Media's Deafening Silence On Latest WikiLeaks Drops Is Its Own Scandal

opcw
This is getting really, really, really weird.

WikiLeaks has published yet another set of leaked internal documents from within the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) adding even more material to the mountain of evidence that we've been lied to about an alleged chemical weapons attack in Douma, Syria last year which resulted in airstrikes upon that nation from the US, UK and France.

This new WikiLeaks drop includes an email from the OPCW Chief of Cabinet Sebastien Braha (who is reportedly so detested by organisation inspectors that they code named him "Voldemort") throwing a fit over the Ian Henderson Engineering Assessment which found that the Douma incident was likely a staged event. Braha is seen ordering OPCW staff to "remove all traces, if any, of its delivery/storage/whatever" from the organisation's secure registry.

Paul Craig Roberts reviews 'JFK-9/11, 50 Years of Deep State' by Laurent Guyenot

JFK-911 - 50 Years of the Deep State

In 2014 Progressive Press published a book by a French author, Laurent Guyenot, titled JFK-9/11: 50 Years of Deep State. The book contains much interesting reporting that shows that the official explanations we are given about even major events, such as the assassination of a President and 9/11, are transparently false. Yet, these transparently false explanations are hard to challenge despite all available evidence being against the explanations.

Reviewing such a book is a challenge that I avoided by securing permission to reprint two chapters from the book. One chapter, "Ghost planes," deals with the mystery of the four allegedly hijacked airliners. No trace of the one that allegedly hit the Pentagon has ever been found, and the many videos of the event remain under lock and key. No trace of the one that allegedly crashed in Pennsylvania has ever been found. Neither has any trace of the two that allegedly hit the two World Trade Center towers ever been found, although an unburnt passport was allegedly found in the ruins of two massive buildings.

Readers might remember that I raised the question why we did not hear demands for explanations from the families of the victims of the four destroyed airliners like we did from the families whose relatives were in the twin towers. Guyenot reports that of the alleged casualties of AA77 "only five of these have relatives who received the 9-11 Compensation Fund offered by the State. . . . no family of the victims of Flight UA93 requested compensation."

How can this be?

The other chapter, "The Art of the Patsy," shows that the key to the ability of the authorities to control the explanation is to have an explanation of the event ready at hand. No one expected President Kennedy's assassination or he wouldn't have been riding in a convertible. Yet it was instantly known that Oswald was the assassin. The explanation for 9/11 was also instantaneous. It was CIA-asset Osama bin Laden, who was dying from renal failure and no longer useful to the CIA.

If you find Guyenot interesting, you might want to read his book. What Guyenot shows us is that what the CIA has schooled the dumbshit presstitute media to ridicule as "conspiracy theory" is indeed a conspiracy, a real one usually involving the CIA.

Sorry. The images didn't transfer.

SOTT Focus: De-Bunking the Myth of the Jewish Conspiracy

trump Jews
Recently, I've noticed a strong resurgence of a lazy tendency to blame all the world's problems on "the Jews". At least 20% of my published articles over the past year have resulted in readers condemning me for not saying that Jews are the causal hand running the world. Here, I'd like very much to say something about this. I think this is especially important since a growing number of influential alt-media platforms such as Russia Insider have moved not only towards an absolutely anti-Jewish, but also a dangerously pro-Hitler narrative that I believe must be nipped in the bud and put into some rational perspective.

Just to state clearly off the bat: I am not a fan of the ADL, the Rothschild banking dynasty, the younger Warburg dynasty, Mossad-affiliated pedophiles or George Soros. I do not condone the B'nai Brith's Freemasonic intrigues, nor do I approve of the "Greater Israel" logic of Jabotinzky-ite loving Zionists, who tend to believe that the entire Middle East from Palestine, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Iran belongs rightfully to them.

I do however believe that there is something profoundly beautiful in the Jewish cultural matrix that stems from Platonic humanist thinkers as Rabbi Philo of Alexandria (20 B.C.-50 A.D.) to Moses Maimonides (1138-1204) to the great scholar Moses Mendelssohn (1729-1786), whose amazing contributions to human knowledge birthed Germany's incredible renaissance movement of the 18-19th century. The rise of such modern Jewish artists who led the Yiddish Renaissance as I.L. Peretz and Shalom Aleichem nourished their souls on such ecumenical inspiration at the turn of the 20th century. The rise of modern Zionism, as we shall see, was designed explicitly to destroy this positive spiritual tradition within Judaism, reducing it to a 'blood and soil' cult.

Comment: As always with this topic, it's complicated. But the author is essentially correct in that 'world rulership', to the extent that that is even a thing, doesn't start and end with 'the Jews', just as it doesn't with the British. No one country, ethnicity, religion or network is 'driving this thing'. The 'powers and principalities' behind the thrones are way too cunning to 'put all their eggs in one basket' by operating in this realm via just one source.

Best of the Web: What does deploying Russia's hypersonic warheads mean for arms race? Avangard changes everything!

Moscow's deployment of 'Avangard' hypersonic warheads means the US missile defense installations in Europe are now obsolete - and that Washington would have to spend a lot of money it doesn't have in order to catch up.

Video released by the Russian defense ministry on Friday shows the hypersonic glider warheads being loaded onto silo-based missiles. For now, the Avangards will be mounted on the UR-100N (or SS-19 Stiletto, as NATO calls them) ballistic missiles, until the RS-28 Sarmat is ready to enter service.

Hypersonic weapons fly far faster than the speed of sound. Avangard is capable of reaching Mach 27 without losing control or disintegrating under heat and pressure. This means that the weapon can outmaneuver any defenses on its approach phase, rendering it "absolutely invulnerable to any air or missile defense system," in the words of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"We don't have any defense that could deny the employment of such a weapon against us," is how General John Hyten, then head of the US Strategic Command, put it to the Senate Armed Services Committee in March 2018, shortly after Putin confirmed the existence of Avangard and several other weapons.

If FBI's contempt for the law goes unchallenged, its abuses will get worse

The former CIA and FBI director's article is a symptom of how the establishment media has become the propaganda arm of an increasingly robust U.S. authoritarian movement.

In 2018, the U.S. government filed 1,117 final applications to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court for authority for the FBI to conduct electronic surveillance and physical searches. One application was withdrawn. One other was denied. The remaining 1,115 were granted.

Hours before the FISA court issued a December 17 order openly declaring that it could no longer trust any of the sworn statements the FBI had submitted to justify spying on Americans, The New York Times published an opinion article by William Webster, a former director of both the FBI and the CIA. Webster wrote,
"Today, the integrity of the institutions that protect our civil order is, tragically, under assault from too many people whose job it should be to protect them."
Gone are the days The New York Times worked to expose government abuse of power. The New York Times now defends power from truth.

Interview with William Binney: Russiagate, impeachment and British meddling in US elections

Going into 2020, Donald Trump continues to face one political crisis after another, and now becoming only the fourth US president behind Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton - to face Impeachment. But how much of what is being reported in the mainstream media is fact, or fiction?

This week, UK Column's Mike Robinson spoke with former NSA Technical Director, William Binney, about new forensic findings which strongly indicate that the DNC emails from 2016 were leaked to WikiLeaks and not hacked, as well as evidence of likely CIA or clandestine involvement with the online cut-out 'Guccifer 2.0', and evidence of British interference in the 2016 election, as well as perspectives on UkraineGate and the hysterical Impeachment circus on Capital Hill, Russiagate and UK, not Russian, interference in the US election process.

Newsweek gags journalist who commented on MSM silence of OPCW Douma scandal

The refusal of almost every Western media outlet to cover the leaks implicating the chemical weapons watchdog of doctoring its Syria report has become ridiculous, says a journalist who was barred from reporting it by Newsweek.

"These documents are very conclusive in what they show," Tareq Haddad told RT after the latest release of internal emails from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) on Friday. The latest batch indicated an effort by the OPCW management to silence dissenting voices and cover up the very fact that there was evidence contradicting the West-favored narrative about the April 2018 incident in Douma, Syria.

The OPCW report stopped short of accusing the government of President Bashar Assad of dropping chemical weapons on the Damascus neighborhood, which was held by jihadists at the time, and killing scores of civilians. It gave a post-factum rationale for airstrikes conducted by the US, the UK and France in the wake of the incident.

Comment: "I don't want the mainstream media to be dismissed as 'fake news'. I want it to be respected." Propaganda is manufactured and packaged to assure a desired outcome. The truth 'is what is' and leads where it leads. Only one of these deserves respect.

Rocket attack on Iraqi base kills US civilian contractor, multiple servicemen injured

An American civilian contractor was killed and several service members lightly wounded when several rockets struck an Iraqi military base near Kirkuk, US officials confirmed on condition of anonymity.

The Iraqi military confirmed earlier that multiple service members, including a US contractor and an Iraqi federal police officer, were wounded when "a number of missiles" struck a munitions storage facility in K1 military base on Friday evening.

According to one official, the rockets hit as a "major" mission was getting underway. K1 is located just northwest of Kirkuk, in northern Iraq.

No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack. However, while Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) terrorist are actively operating in the area using insurgency-style tactics - all recent rocket attacks on bases housing American troops have been pinned, absent any evidence, on "Iranian proxies."

Comment: Who would attack US service members and not claim the attack? Could it be a country wanting to escalate tensions by elevating US reactions against Iran? War by deception comes to mind.

According to Times of India, 28/12/2019: Rocket attacks kill US contractor
In Friday's attack, a Kirkuk provincial security official told AFP, 'the shots were very accurate. The attack was aimed precisely at the area where the Americans are located, near the meeting room." The rockets could also have been much more deadly, had it not been for recent poor weather that has led to delays in anti-IS operations and the postponement of a meeting scheduled for Friday on these missions, according to Iraqi police.

A US source has said that pro-Iran factions in Iraq are now considered a more significant threat to American soldiers than the IS.

Russia, Ukraine to drop reciprocal claims, lift asset seizures in new gas transit agreement

Transit of Russian gas by Ukraine will be carried out on mutually beneficial and acceptable conditions for both parties, according to Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak.

Novak said in an interview with Russia 24 TV that "A contract will be signed between Gazprom and Naftogaz for providing services as an entity that will act as the organizer of transit. These are commercial agreements which are mutually beneficial."

He added that starting from January 1, Russia and Ukraine will cancel mutual claims while asset seizures will be lifted.

Comment: It would seem unlikely the US is pleased with this cooperative arrangement between Russia and Ukraine. However, on the upside, it may relieve the need to subsidize Kiev against billions in financial losses.

Sweden's DM Peter Hultqvist blames massive military buildup on Russia

Despite committing billions of kronor to defence in the coming years, to revamp the military back to its Cold War-era status, a recent report presented by Supreme Commander Micael Bydén says Swedish defence will still fall short of $4.3 billion if the will of politicians' is fully implemented.

Non-aligned Sweden is revamping its military with billions of dollars in a beef-up unseen since the Cold War era.

Swedish politicians have pledged to spend an additional SEK 5 billion ($510 million) annually on top of the adopted military budget each year from 2021 to 2025. Overall, Sweden plans to spend SEK 60 billion ($6.4 billion) annually on defence starting from 2025, and this amount is expected to increase further by 2030.

Social Democrat Defence Minister, Peter Hultqvist, stressed that the major hike is about "being able to defend itself" and made it crystal clear from whom.

Comment: Amazing how fear trumps logic and how fast it spreads just like a disease!
