Whose money instigated religious conflict in Ukraine - and who tried to steal it?

Former President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko

Was $25 million in American tax dollars allocated for a payoff to stir up religious turmoil and violence in Ukraine? Did Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko (unsuccessfully) attempt to divert most of it into his own pocket?

Last month the worldwide Orthodox Christian communion was plunged into crisis by the decision of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I in Constantinople to recognize as legitimate schismatic pseudo-bishops anathematized by the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which is an autonomous part of the Russian Orthodox Church. In so doing not only has Patriarch Bartholomew besmirched the global witness of Orthodoxy's two-millennia old Apostolic faith, he has set the stage for religious strife in Ukraine and fratricidal violence - which has already begun.

Starting in July, when few were paying attention, this analyst warned about the impending dispute and how it facilitated the anti-Christian moral agenda of certain marginal "Orthodox" voices like "Orthodoxy in Dialogue," Fordham University's "Orthodox Christian Studies Center," and The Wheel. These "self-professed teachers presume to challenge the moral teachings of the faith" (in the words of Fr. John Parker) and "prowl around, wolves in sheep's clothing, forming and shaping false ideas about the reality of our life in Christ." Unsurprisingly such groups have embraced Constantinople's neopapal self-aggrandizement and support for the Ukrainian schismatics.

Comment: Yet another reminder that the western-led and pathological war against Russia is also - among many other things - cultural.

Prosecution of Assange bodes grave threats to freedom of the press - Obama DOJ consensus

Glenn Greenwald
The Intercept
Fri, 16 Nov 2018 08:26 UTC

The Trump Justice Department inadvertently revealed in a court filing that it has charged Julian Assange in a sealed indictment. The disclosure occurred through a remarkably amateurish cutting-and-pasting error in which prosecutors unintentionally used secret language from Assange's sealed charges in a document filed in an unrelated case. Although the document does not specify which charges have been filed against Assange, the Wall Street Journal reported that "they may involve the Espionage Act, which criminalizes the disclosure of national defense-related information."

Over the last two years, journalists and others have melodramatically claimed that press freedoms were being assaulted by the Trump administration due to trivial acts such as the President spouting adolescent insults on Twitter at Chuck Todd and Wolf Blitzer or banning Jim Acosta from White House press conferences due to his refusal to stop preening for a few minutes so as to allow other journalists to ask questions. Meanwhile, actual and real threats to press freedoms that began with the Obama DOJ and have escalated with the Trump DOJ - such as aggressive attempts to unearth and prosecute sources - have gone largely ignored if not applauded.

But prosecuting Assange and/or WikiLeaks for publishing classified documents would be in an entirely different universe of press freedom threats. Reporting on the secret acts of government officials or powerful financial actors - including by publishing documents taken without authorization - is at the core of investigative journalism. From the Pentagon Papers to the Panama Papers to the Snowden disclosures to publication of Trump's tax returns to the Iraq and Afghanistan war logs, some of the most important journalism over the last several decades has occurred because it is legal and constitutional to publish secret documents even if the sources of those documents obtained them through illicit or even illegal means.

Comment: There is a gross difference between a media source that fairly seeks and reports actual events in a truth-abiding rendition, versus those whose dictates shape and contort the facts to match a narrative, a protocol or a propaganda agenda. Trump has repeatedly called out MSM for their contortions, subversions, remakes of the news. Obama supported and protected the reporting corruption networks because they served his purposes - especially after he left office. At the end of the day, there is not a standard 'truth meter' that defines what reporting is to be allowed or not allowed. This is the freedom of the press - with honor and integrity or not. Greenwald has laid out the fallacy in criminalizing Assange and Wikileaks as both are well within the parameters of Freedom of the Press and common constitutional legalities.

Ghana's support brings Israel one step closer to African Union seat

Azad Essa
Middle East Eye
Thu, 15 Nov 2018 15:13 UTC

On a recent visit to Israel, Ghana's foreign minister confirmed that her government would be assisting Israel to gain observer status at the African Union (AU).

Accra [Ghana] becomes the latest African nation to publicly back Israel for a spot at the continental body. Kenya and Ethiopia have already endorsed Israel's bid to join as an an observer member when the vote takes place in February.

Members with observer status at the AU have the opportunity to access all member states as well as address them as a bloc. This serves as an opportunity to strengthen political ties with the continent. One of the reasons why Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been pushing for observer status is to counter Palestine's influence to the AU which has consistently taken a more pro-Palestine stance.

Palestine was granted observer status in 2013, while Turkey was granted the same in 2005.

Comment: Insidious persuasion. The Israeli standard template in motion.

Trump 'awaits full report' as CIA pins Khashoggi murder on MBS

RT
Sun, 18 Nov 2018 00:02 UTC

The US government has yet to reach a "final conclusion" on the murder of Jamal Khashoggi and until then won't undermine the strategic relationship with Riyadh, amid reports the CIA has linked the murder to the Saudi Crown Prince.

"We'll be having a very full report over the next two days," Trump said, acknowledging having discussed Khashoggi's murder with CIA Director Gina Haspel. Calling media reports about the CIA's conclusions "very premature," Trump stressed that "they haven't assessed anything yet." But at the same time, Trump stopped short of explicitly rejecting the idea that the Crown Prince might have been linked to the murder, saying anything was "possible."

"We're going to come up with a report as to what we think the overall impact was and who caused it. And who did it. We're talking about the killing. We are not talking about anything else. "

Trump did not touch the question of who was preparing the report or whether it would assess who might have ordered the assassination. Earlier, State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert also avoided directly rejecting reports that the CIA had somehow implicated Mohammed bin Salman: "There remain numerous unanswered questions with respect to the murder of Mr. Khashoggi."

Comment: MbS' authority and control have taken a severe hit - instant vulnerability on the world stage. Whether he was involved, or (unlikely) not, he has been damaged. Does the CIA have a stake in the outcome of the investigation? Trump does.

Trump won't listen to Khashoggi 'suffering tape'

Sputnik
Sun, 18 Nov 2018 21:27 UTC

Riyadh has denied claims that the Saudi crown prince or any other member of the royal family was involved in Khashoggi's murder amid media reports that the CIA suspects otherwise. The White House insists that a thorough investigation needs to be concluded before making any claims as to who is responsible.

President Donald Trump has confirmed that the US has an audio recording that allegedly sheds light on the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi journalist, in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul on October 2. At the same time, Trump said in an interview with Fox News on Sunday that he hadn't heard the recording himself, but had been briefed on its contents.

"I don't want to hear the tape. No reason for me to hear the tape, because it's a suffering tape. I've been fully briefed on it. There's no reason for me to hear it," he said. He described the tape's contents as "very violent, very vicious and terrible," judging by what he had been told in the briefing.

Bellingcat claims FSB tried to influence UK visa process - another 'fantasy gone wild'

RT
Sat, 17 Nov 2018 18:29 UTC

Claims by "investigative" website Bellingcat that the FSB pressured a UK visa center to facilitate the issuance of travel permits to the alleged Skripal poisoners is a self-exposing joke, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.

"Great! There are certainly no limits to the imagination of our partners," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova wrote on Facebook, commenting on another report by the controversial Bellingcat group claiming that Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) had tried to infiltrate the British visa center system in Moscow to organize entry papers for "a couple of guys who need to visit the UK."

The authors hint that the "guys" were Aleksandr Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov, who London accuses of being Russian Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) agents, responsible for the chemical poisoning of double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in Salisbury in March. The two men denied the accusations and said they only visited the UK as tourists. The GRU stated that they have never employed them as agents.

Comment: That Bellingcat is still in business and putting out fake information, via MSM, reveals the level to which the public has been indoctrinated to not question disqualified 'information sources.' This is how the 'absurd' gains qualification to support a grand distortion.

Rouhani on Iran-Iraq plan: Create free trade zone, boost trade to $20B

Sputnik
Sat, 17 Nov 2018 14:29 UTC

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani told reporters on Saturday that he and his Iraqi counterpart Barham Salih had agreed to create a free trade zone.

"We have agreed to create a free trade zone between the two countries, which will enable us to launch joint ventures," Rouhani said at a press conference held after the meeting, as broadcast by Press TV.

Rouhani added that while the Iranian-Iraqi trade currently amounted to around $12 billion, it could be raised to $20 billion in near future if both sides made an effort.

Earlier in the day, Rouhani and Salih held a meeting in the Iranian capital of Tehran, during which they discussed bilateral cooperation and regional development.

Turkish DM Akar: Khashoggi's body parts may have been removed from Turkey in suitcases

Sputnik
Sun, 18 Nov 2018 18:01 UTC

The dismembered body of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi could have been taken out of Turkey, where he was murdered, in suitcases, with those transferring the body taking advantage of their diplomatic immunity, Turkish Defence Minister Hulusi Akar said.

"They [Saudi nationals suspected of having murdered Khashoggi] left Turkey in three or four hours after the murder. Perhaps, they have secretly taken out Khashoggi's dissected body in suitcases, facing no problems because of their diplomatic immunity," Akar said at the Halifax International Security Forum on November 17, as quoted by Turkish newspaper Yeni Safak.

Earlier this day, US President Donald Trump announced that he would receive a full report on the murder of Khashoggi on November 19 or 20.

The statement comes days after, the Saudi Prosecutor General's Office stated that the journalist had been killed with a drug injection, and his body had been dismembered and taken out of the consulate, adding that a total of 21 people had been detained in relation to the case.

Comment: There are many theories spinning this story, especially on this 'disappeared' aspect of the murder.

Netanyahu thanks the US for opposition to UN resolution on Golan Heights

Sputnik
Sun, 18 Nov 2018 18:56 UTC

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked the United States on Sunday for voting against the UN resolution condemning Israel for occupying the Golan Heights area located at the Israeli-Syrian border.

"On Thursday, US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman informed me on the US decision to vote against the regular resolution slamming us for our presence in the Golan Heights. And this really happened... I would like to thank [US] President [Donald Trump] and [US] Ambassador [to the United Nations, Nikki] Haley for this important and fair decision that fully complies with my policy. Israel will forever remain in the Golan Heights. The Golan Heights will forever remain in our hands," Netanyahu said during his weekly cabinet meeting.

On Friday, the United States voted at the UN General Assembly committee against the resolution for the first time ever after constantly abstaining from voting before. However, the resolution, which the UN General Assembly renews annually, was easily passed, with 151 countries supporting it, 14 others abstaining, and only the United States and Israel voting against it.

Comment: Some loyalties lie face down in the sand, oblivious to the encroaching tide.

Mostly women and children among the 40 murdered by another US-led airstrike in Syria's Deir Ez-Zor

Sputnik
Sun, 18 Nov 2018 19:51 UTC

On November 16, the US-led coalition confirmed that it had carried out strikes in Syria's Deir ez-Zor province but insisted that no civilian casualties resulted from the operations, according to US military spokesman Col. Sean Ryan.

The US-led coalition killed some 40 people, mainly women and children, in airstrikes in Syria's Deir ez-Zor province, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported.

The reports come after Col. Sean Ryan, spokesman for Combined Joint Task Force Operation Inherent Resolve, confirmed on Friday that coalition strikes had taken place in the area on Thursday, insisting that no civilian casualties have been recorded.

Prior to the spokesman's statement, SANA reported on Thursday that 17 civilians had been killed in Bu-Badran. However, later in the day, it said the civilian death toll from the US-led coalition airstrikes in Deir ez-Zor province had reached 23. According to the news agency, the strikes targeted the residential areas of the villages of Bu-Badran and al-Sousa.
