BC stands for NEO's Banned Classic. This article was originally published by our journal on 10.09.14. For some reason, this article is missing from Google search results. Since this article remains pretty relevant to those geopolitical events that are taking place on the geopolitical stage today, we deem it possible to present it to our readers once again. Should it go missing again, you may be confident that you will see it republished by NEO once more, should it still remain relevant by that time.
July 17, 2014. A Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200 on flight MH17 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur plunged out of the sky in eastern Ukraine. The crash resulted in the death of all 298 passengers and crew. Malaysian Premier Najib Razak lashed out at those behind the geopolitical chess game that led to the tragedy. An independent journalistic investigation was stonewalled with strategies ranging from ignoring calls and mails to an attempt to infect our PC with mal-ware via an e-mail sent from Ukraine. All of that, of course, in the interest of an international flying public who is expected to shut up and trust that they won't win in the lottery of death. The MH17 tragedy reeks of operation Northwoods.

The Plane, Malaysia Airlines, and Malaysian PM Najib Razak.

Malaysia Airlines (MAS) stated that the 19 year-old Boeing 777-200 had a perfect maintenance and safety record. There was, in other words, no apparent reason why the plane should suddenly disintegrate in flight and plummet out of the sky with 298 souls on board. The immediate response was an international positioning and blame-game that prompted a visibly shaken Malaysian Premier Najib Razak to lash out at "those behind the geopolitical chess game that led to the disaster", adding:

"As a leader, there has never been an occasion as heart-breaking as what I went through yesterday. Wives losing their husbands, fathers losing their children. Imagine their feelings from such a great loss. ... This is what happens when there is a conflict that cannot be resolved through negotiations, with peace. In the end, who becomes the victim? Najib Razak's words were ominous and reflected precisely the sentiment of millions of people worldwide. People who depend on air traffic for business, for holidays, for being reunited with loved ones, and the fact that all of them are being held in the dark about what happened on that fateful day.

Thousands defy mask ban in Hong Kong, sparking fresh violence

Hong Kong was rocked by fresh violence Sunday as tens of thousands hit the streets to defy a ban on face masks, sparking clashes with police, street fights and vandalism across the strife-torn city.

Large crowds marched through torrential rain in peaceful but unsanctioned rallies on both sides of Victoria Harbour, condemning the government for deploying emergency powers to ban face masks at public gatherings.

But violence erupted as police dispersed crowds with tear gas, and then battled hardcore protesters in multiple locations -- plunging the finance hub into chaos once more.

In one incident, a taxi driver was beaten bloody in the district of Sham Shui Po after he drove into a crowd that had surrounded his car.

Comment: The rioters were quick to turn on their own, should they hold a dissenting view:
A Hong Kong-born actress was filmed with blood dripping down her chin as she confronted a group of angry protesters. She said she was assaulted while trying to take pictures of them engaging in vandalism.

Footage of Celine Ma's confrontation with protesters show her with blood on her face and T-shirt. She was engaged in a loud shouting match with protesters while a man is struggled to keep them apart. At one point, somebody in the crowd tried to hit her with a tennis racket.


The actress, who has a pro-Beijing stance, later said she was beaten while trying to film the protesters as they were vandalizing the property of the Bank of China. The video doesn't show how the altercation started. Several companies viewed by the protesters as being pro-Beijing were targeted on Sunday throughout Hong Kong.

Radical protesters in the city have attacked civilians with whom they disagree politically, including a journalist working for a Chinese media outlet, and a bank worker who shouted "We are all Chinese" in front of them.
RT reports further:
Protesters continued to build barricades and block roads in pouring rain, forcing police to respond with tear gas. They also vandalized shops and restaurants again, including a Starbucks coffee shop. Branches of the chain have been destroyed in recent weeks after the daughter of the local franchisee's owner spoke out against the movement at the UN.


China slammed European countries, and France in particular for 'glorifying rioters'. Ironic, as France is attempting to put down its own authentic civil rebellion, the Gilets Jaunes, in a bloody manner:

China's embassy in France has slammed the country's reaction to protests in Hong Kong, calling it hypocritical and arguing France should show empathy as China did when Paris was trying to cope with Yellow Vests.

"We express our deep dissatisfaction and our profound contempt for the hypocrisy of the European statement and the darkness of the intentions of some vis-à-vis China," China's embassy said in a note on its website.

The EU urged Hong Kong authorities to show restraint and ensure the right of assembly for citizens, among other fundamental freedoms, as well as a proportionate response to protests.

Chinese diplomats accused the EU of "publicly glorifying the rioters and flouting police self-defence measures against their aggressors," and questioned whether EU members actually wanted Hong Kong to "plunge into irreversible chaos."

They raised the subject of the Yellow Vest protests in France, saying the country's police force has firsthand and recent experience in dealing with protesters and being under constant criticism from a "malicious fringe of people" for their actions. "In these circumstances, we showed empathy for France. We would like it to show the same spirit towards us today," the embassy said in its note.

Two Soviet-born businessmen whom U.S. Donald Trump's personal attorney has publicly identified as his clients sought to reshuffle management at Ukraine's state-owned oil and gas conglomerate in their favor as they pursued liquified natural-gas projects, AP reported.

The news agency, citing anonymous sources and a memo written to the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, said the two Florida-based entrepreneurs had also arranged meetings with Ukrainian officials for the president's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, as he investigated Trump's political and potential electoral rivals.

AP identified the two as Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, both of whom have contributed generously to Trump's as well as Republican campaigns, ensuring them meetings with the U.S. president, his son, Donald Trump Jr., as well as Republican lawmakers in recent years, according to a report by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP).

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said on Sunday he was the initiator to sign a non-aggression treaty with the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf.

"Recently, with the support of the United States, I have been promoting a political initiative to sign a non-aggression treaty with the Arab Gulf states. A historic step will put an end to the conflict and will promote civilian cooperation until peace agreements are signed", Katz wrote on Twitter.

The minister noted that he had already discussed the draft treaty with his colleagues from the Arab countries and presented the draft document to US President Donald Trump's special envoy for the Middle East peace process, Jason Greenblatt.

Comment: If Netanyahu's comments are anything to go by, what Israel has in mind is for Iran is far from peaceful: At Trump summit Netanyahu declares "common interest of war with Iran" sparking backlash from Tehran and we only need look at their recent actions for proof: Israel opens new front against Lebanon, with two drones hitting Hezbollah targets in Beirut - Zionist entity now bombing 4 ME countries UPDATES.

Is Trump 'The Dude' to break the woke?

"I like your style Dude ... but do you have to use so many cuss words?"
"The fuck you talkin' about?"
- The Big Lebowski

When Donald Trump won the 2016 election it was obvious to many, including myself, that he could be what Strauss & Howe called, 'The Grey Champion' in their seminal book The Fourth Turning.

The Grey Champion isn't perfect. In fact, he's a strongman. He can be a force for good or evil, depending on the times. At his essence, he is the right person in the right place at the right time to usher in a new era of human society for the next cycle of generations, usually four lasting around 85 years, or one human lifetime.

Past Grey Champions in the U.S have been FDR and Abraham Lincoln. Neither of these men would be people I would consider having been good for the country or, frankly, the world. But they were ideally placed to shepherd and, most importantly, put into effect the changes demanded by the people as the Prophet Generation (Baby Boomers) gives way to the Nomads (Gen X) who hold the fort until the Heroes (Millennials) decide what comes next, for good or ill.

They were strong enough figures to overcome the enormous forces arrayed against them and, in the end, win out, forcing a new regime into being.

Rebellion in Iraq: Is someone trying to destabilize Iraq?

The wave of protests that erupted across Iraq on October 1, according to a number of reports, resulted in dozens of civilian deaths and several hundred injured protesters. As it's been reported by Al Arabiya TV station, human rights activists claim that at least a hundred people lost their lives in the course of the protests, while some 3 thousand were injured.

The unrest that was sparked by the frustration that local residents share over the massive corruption, high unemployment rates, frequent power outages and water shortages, would soon lead to demands for the resignation of the sitting government, followed by all sorts of other political demands. In spite of the attempts that local authorities make to restore order by imposing a curfew, the intensity of the protests wouldn't die down. There are tires burning in the streets, demonstrators assaulting airports and government buildings.

Egypt's Sasa Post states that Iraq has not seen a mass movement as popular since the days Iraqis tried to repel the US attack on their country. Demonstrations have swept all the large cities of the country, except for those that remain in the hands of ISIS terrorists in the northern and western parts of the country.

Comment: This is possible, but as yet by no means 'clearly' what is happening.

What is clear is that the Iraqi authorities are killing protesters in large numbers.

'Let them talk!' Medvedev shoots down rumors of Russia installing a military base in Cuba

Setting up a Russian military base in Cuba was not discussed between Raul Castro and Moscow, PM Dmitry Medvedev has said. There are also no plans for Russian warships to escort oil tankers to the island nation amid a US crackdown.

When asked by Rossiya 1 channel about speculations that he and Castro discussed establishing a permanent military foothold in the Caribbean, just 180 km from the US shores, Medvedev was brief: "Let them talk. We discussed cooperation, remembered our past, how we met for the first time."

He mentioned that Castro called the US sanctions against Cuba an "incomprehensible childish solution." The military presence was not brought up, though.

While the Soviets never established a permanent base on Cuba, a so-called training brigade was stationed on the island in wake of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. The unit, consisting of Soviet military specialists, was a heavily-guarded secret until 1979, but played more or less symbolic role. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the contingent of 1,500 was withdrawn.

'Shifty Schiff' - an anti-semitic slur?! It's just the latest fabricated racism scandal targeting Trump

Democrats have called President Donald Trump every synonym for "racist" in the book. But if you assume Trump's insults - calling his rivals "shifty," and "savages" - are coded references to Jews, doesn't that make you the racist?

With Adam Schiff leading an impeachment drive against him, Trump has made no secret of his animosity towards the California Democrat, calling him "shifty," a "lowlife" who should be "questioned at the highest level for Fraud & Treason." The president has also turned his anger on fellow impeachment Democrat Jerry Nadler (D-New York) and socialist New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, calling them "savages."

According to certain media outlets, that means that Trump hates Jews. Really. Apparently by referring to Schiff as "a shifty, dishonest guy," Trump engaged in a "brazenly anti-Semitic attack," or so says veteran progressive journalist Mehdi Hasan, evidently trying to give CNN a run for its money.

"The stereotype of Jews as 'shifty,' the suggestion that they are sneaky and manipulative, has a long and ignominious history," Hasan continued, referring to the false story that Trump once called white supremacists "very fine people" to further his argument. Hasan also chose to believe a 1980s rumor that Trump kept a book of Adolf Hitler's pre-war speeches right by his bedside.

"He is in the evidentiary chain for what happened with this whistleblower and I hope the Republicans make him testify."


Gowdy also mocked Schiff for being awarded "Four Pinocchios" by the Washington Post on Friday, claiming he hadn't told the truth about his knowledge of the whistleblower.

Schiff has played a leading role in investigating the Trump-Ukraine scandal but hasn't been truthful in the process, according to Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler. "I think you got four [Pinocchios] only because you can't get five," Gowdy joked. "He got the maximum sentence you could get from the Washington Post fact checker -- and don't you know how hard that was for the Washington Post to give Adam Schiff four Pinocchios?"

The former congressman from South Carolina called Schiff a "career offender" when it came to the truth and asked how long House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would put up with Schiff.

Russia proposes setting up 'grain OPEC' to ensure stability, solve world hunger

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Aleksey Gordeyev has suggested creating an organization of grain exporters similar to the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).

The offer to create an OPEC-type organization for grain exporters aims to ensure "the stability of the grain market, coordinate grain prices, and solve the problem of world hunger," according to a statement from Gordeyev's press service.

The idea was raised during Gordeyev's meeting with German Minister of Food and Agriculture Julia Klockner and Minister-President of North Rhine-Westphalia Armin Laschet. They met on the sidelines of ANUGA-2019, the international trade fair for food and beverages, in Cologne. According to Gordeyev, the future organization could "include Russia, the European Union, the United States, Canada, Argentina, [and] other nations." He suggested discussing coordination among the world's biggest grain exporters during the Green Week exhibition in Berlin.

Kiev: Thousands protest Zelenskiy's plan for local elections in eastern Ukraine

Thousands of demonstrators have rallied in Kyiv against President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's plan to hold local elections in eastern Ukrainian territory that is under the control of Russia-backed separatists. Protesters at the rally denounced the plan as capitulation to Russia.

On October 1, Ukraine, Russia, and mediators Germany and France signed a tentative agreement with the separatists on guidelines for holding local elections in eastern Ukraine. Zelenskiy has described the deal as a necessary intermediate step ahead of organizing a summit with the leaders of Russia, France, and Germany to push for a peace deal.

In the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, which is under Kyiv's control, about 300 people gathered outside of the regional state administration headquarters on October 6 to protest the election plan. Participants of public organizations, activists, and representatives of political parties joined the all-Ukrainian protest rally in Kharkiv.

Their main demand is for an extraordinary session of the Kharkiv Regional Council in order to draw up a formal complaint against the plan -- in particular, the introduction of a special status for the Donbas region and the removal of Ukrainian government troops from the current front lines.

Comment: Good news. 'Thousands' may have protested against peace moves with the breakaway republics, but millions more voted Zelenskiy into office to deliver peace.
