Any DNC server leak in 2016 could have been a patriotic act to counter Ukrainian Intel operators access inside the DNC and US Government servers at the State Department. After reviewing what we know happened, let's look at who is funding this.

The big take away from the part 1 article is Ukrainian Intelligence was hired as opposition research by Alexandra Chalupa and they hacked the DNC. And they hacked the RNC. They were probably given the passwords to US Dept of State Top Secret information just as a matter of course to do their jobs. Clinton kept six State Department password slots from 2013 to 2016 for her researchers. Ukrainian Intel hackers included Russian traitors Shaltai Boltai. And they hacked.

If Chalupa didn't give the hackers access, getting it was as simple as doing your job using someone else's login. This means someone with the password physically typed it in and the hacker/ researcher took over.

Israel evacuated Islamist commanders from Syria along with White Helmets

A new report gets dirty on the details of Israeli funding and weapons shipments to 12 anti-government extremist groups in Syria. Buried in the end of the piece is the revelation that Israel helped evacuate so-called "rebel commanders" as they also flew out members of the self-proclaimed "impartial" White Helmets organization.

On August 22, Israel evacuated some 800 members of the White Helmets, a group funded by the United States, United Kingdom, Germany and other Western countries, that claims to be an impartial civil defense organization but has been accused by Syria and Russia of terrorism. Its members have been caught on video grinning wildly as a child nearby was being beheaded in addition to other atrocities, while a high-budget film about the group won the 2017 Academy Award for best documentary.

But as the White Helmets and members of their immediate families were evacuated from southern Syria as the government was liberating it from jihadists, so too were "rebel commanders" and their families, according to Foreign Policy.

Those commanders' whereabouts are unknown. For the article, Foreign Policy spoke with "more than two dozen commanders and rank-and-file" members of the groups funded and evacuated by Tel Aviv. Some people in Syria say the evacuees are in Israel, and others say they are in Jordan. "One former commander informed his subordinates that he had arrived in Turkey," the outlet reported.

Comment: So what will the suspected 'revelations', now validated, mean going forward? Israel has been exposed. Time for distracting false flags?

Paul Craig Roberts: I know who wrote the NYT Op-Ed

Trump I am part...

I know who wrote the anonymous "senior Trump official" op-ed in the New York Times. The New York Times wrote it.

The op-ed (http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/50194.htm) is an obvious forgery. As a former senior official in a presidential administration, I can state with certainty that no senior official would express disagreement anonymously. Anonymous dissent has no credibility. Moreover, the dishonor of it undermines the character of the writer. A real dissenter would use his reputation and the status of his high position to lend weight to his dissent.

The New York Times' claim to have vetted the writer also lacks credibility, as the New York Times has consistently printed extreme accusations against Trump and against Vladimir Putin without supplying a bit of evidence. The New York Times has consistently misrepresented unsubstantiated allegations as proven fact. There is no reason whatsoever to believe the New York Times about anything.

Consider also whether a member of a conspiracy working "diligently" inside the administration with "many of the senior officials" to "preserve our democratic institutions while thwarting" Trump's "worst inclinations" would thwart his and his fellow co-conspirators' plot by revealing it!

This forgery is an attempt to break up the Trump administration by creating suspicion throughout the senior level. If Trump falls for the New York Times' deception, a house cleaning is likely to take place wherever suspicion falls. A government full of mutual suspicion cannot function.

Comment: Whether it was someone within Trump's administration or the NYT itself, we should also consider the timing of this editorial piece of the plot against Trump within the confluence, disruption and critical junctures of current events. What better timing to rattle the president than in the midst of ultra-tense global circumstances, political persecution, critical negotiations and world-changing decisions. It takes a strong and resilient leader to navigate this kind of chaos and effect positive results. Is this Trump? We shall find out.

US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he did not discuss the possibility of assassinating Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

"That was never discussed," Trump told reporters when asked to comment on the matter.

The statement by US President Donald Trump comes after a Washington Post journalist, Bob Woodward, said in his book that Trump was outraged and wanted to assassinate Syrian President Bashar Assad after he learned of a suspected chemical attack on Khan Shaykhun in April 4, 2017.

Trump dubbed Woodward's book "total fiction," saying that "this was never considered, nor would it be considered."

A pair of F-22 jets - scrambled by North American Aerospace Defense Command - shadowed Russia's Tu-95 long-range bombers over neutral waters in the Arctic, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has confirmed.

"The Russian Air Force's Tu-95MS strategic bomber aircraft have carried out scheduled flights over neutral waters in Arctic Ocean as well as the Bering and Okhotsk Seas," the ministry said in a statement on Friday. "The aircraft were escorted by two US Air Force F-22 fighter jets on certain legs of their route," it added.

Long-range bombers frequently carry out routine patrols over the Arctic and the Atlantic, as well as the Baltic Sea and the Pacific Ocean, the Defense Ministry said. Such sorties are flown "in strict compliance with international regulations without violating foreign borders."

Deputy speaker of the Russian State Duma, Pyotr Tolstoy, says that both Instagram and Facebook have deleted his posts on the recent killing of the head of the self-proclaimed Donetsk Republic, Aleksandr Zakharchenko.

"Instagram has deleted my post about Aleksandr Zakharchenko's death together with his photo. This is "freedom of speech" according to [Facebook founder and CEO Mark] Zuckerberg," Tolstoy said in a Facebook post about the removal. He attached a screenshot in which moderators claim he violated "community guidelines" that recommend users abstain from 'propagating violence'.

The moderators did not go into details but warned that if Tolstoy makes similar posts again his account could be suspended, either for some time or completely.

A year after calling Idlib 'Al Qaeda's largest safe haven since 9/11', the US is trying to save its terrorists

Since last year, Al Qaeda's presence in Idlib has only grown, as Al Qaeda affiliates in other parts of Syria were evacuated to Idlib province as part of several deals negotiated with the Syrian Arab Army that resulted in the surrender of then-rebel-held territories to the Syrian government.

As the Syrian government and its allies prepare to begin a military offensive against the last rebel-held province in the country, top U.S. government officials and even U.S. President Donald Trump have recently urged Syria to refrain from "recklessly" attacking the Idlib province, warning that it could result in a high civilian death toll. These recent statements of U.S. government officials have sought to portray Idlib as chiefly populated by civilians and benign opposition "rebels."

Yet, just last year, one of the U.S. government's top counterterrorism officials involved in the country's Syria and Iraq policy stated on video that, in contrast to current government statements, Idlib is dominated by none other than the Al Qaeda terrorist group and that the province should be a major focus of U.S. counterterrorism policy given the threat that Idlib represents to global efforts to fight terrorism.

Speaking last July at a conference organized by the Middle East Institute, Brett McGurk - the U.S. government's Special Presidential Envoy for the Global Coalition to Counter ISIL (Daesh, ISIS) - called Syria's Idlib province "the largest Al Qaeda safe haven since 9/11 tied directly to Ayman al-Zawahiri [current leader of Al Qaeda]." He then immediately added that the Al Qaeda presence in Idlib was a "huge problem" and had been so "for some time."

Palestine is waiting for Russia to play a bigger role in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and to host a second Middle East summit in Moscow, Palestinian politicians told Sputnik.

More Activity From Russia

After the visit of the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to Moscow in July, Palestine said it would only accept US participation in peace talks with Israel if Russia plays the role of an intermediary.

"The Russian Federation was authorized in the UNSC resolution 1850 that the Second International Conference after Annapolis [2007 Middle East Summit in Annapolis, Maryland] to be held in Moscow. So they have the authorization to convene an international conference in Moscow, and once the Russian Federation extends an invitation to us to participate in this international conference we will attend," Riyad Mansour, the head of the Permanent Observer Mission of the State of Palestine to the United Nations, said.

SOTT Focus: All Watched Over by The Anglosphere of Loving Grace: Big Brother is keeping 'Five Eyes' on you

The Five Eyes countries are the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
Just last week, the world's leading snooping powers quietly and without notice issued a disturbing warning to tech giants, telling them to surrender unprecedented backdoor access to their citizens' data.

Not many people know this, but the United Kingdom has some of the most extreme spying powers in the developed world. At the end of 2016, passing what some people called the "Snooper's Charter," the UK put into law some of the most draconian anti-privacy laws that we have ever known, allowing its government to compel companies to break their own encryption.

The UK plays a pivotal part in the so-called Five Eyes alliance, which also includes the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Nobody knew it at the time, but the American military base which my family and I grew up next to has played a crucial role in delivering US drone strikes across the Middle East and beyond. America's drone-strike regime, largely considered illegal for numerous reasons, is not something that countries should willingly participate in lightly and without public scrutiny.

Why am I mentioning this? Because it goes to the very heart of my point: the extent to which we know or do not know what our governments are doing behind closed doors is quite literally a matter of life and death.

Comment: 'All watched over by machines of loving grace' was a Californian hippy's poem from the 1960s, envisioning a computing/digital utopia. British docu-maker Adam Curtis named his 2011 series after it, in which he explored how the computing/internet age enslaved rather than liberated people. The original techie innovators and gurus predicted that politics-as-usual would disappear. Instead, everything has become intensely political, and the predominantly anglophone structure of world power is arguably more entrenched and brutal than ever before.

Fox News does US and Israel's bidding, accusing Iranian civil aviation company of smuggling arms into Lebanon

Fox News has accused an Iranian civil aviation company of smuggling arms into Lebanon, destined for the Hezbollah militant group, using "clandestine routes" said to have been uncovered by Western intelligence. Iran makes no secret of its political support for the Shia group but has vehemently denied supplying them with weapons.

In a recent report, Fox claimed, citing unnamed intelligence sources, that two "rare and unusual" flights by Qeshm Fars Air, a cargo hauler, were made from Tehran to Beirut recently, one of them making a short layover in Damascus. As possible evidence of wrongdoing, Fox cited the planes' trajectories, with the flight paths allegedly avoiding parts of western Syria.


Comment: There should be no doubt that the unnamed intelligence sources originate in Israel. They don't provide any proof, just unsubstantiated claims which Fox News just accepts unquestioningly.


Overlooking the idea that Qeshm Fars Air may have routed its planes this way out of security concerns, given that Syria is a war zone, Fox claimed, citing a "regional intelligence source," that Iran was "testing and defying the West's abilities" to track its alleged weapons smuggling.
