Netanyahu corruption investigation circles in: Seven more of PM's cronies brought up on charges

Less than one week after Israeli police recommended that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu be indicted on several corruption charges, a new legal minefield has opened up beneath his feet.

Seven Israelis were arrested on Sunday in what the police call "Case 4000," a new investigation in which members of Netanyahu's innermost circle are suspected of intervening with regulators to help the Bezeq group, an Israeli communications giant then run by a close friend of the prime minister, in exchange for favorable coverage of Netanyahu and his wife, Sara, on a news portal owned by the company.

Though Netanayhu has not been named as a suspect in the case, numerous Israeli news outlets reported on Sunday that he is expected to be questioned "under caution," a term used for suspects in criminal cases.

Comment: Looks like Netanyahu's arrogance and duplicity may actually undo him. Couldn't happen to a better guy.

Soros and David Miliband's pro-migration NGO has funds frozen due to sexual harassment and fraud accusations

The International Rescue Committee (IRC), an open borders-backing NGO fronted by former Labour Foreign Secretary David Miliband has been accused of "hushing up" allegations of more than 30 crimes.

UK government ministers froze funds to the NGO, which is a major partner of globalist billionaire George Soros, "based on direct reporting of sexual harassment and fraud", it was reported this week.

With nearly five and a half million pounds of taxpayer cash at stake, a team from the IRC was sent to look into claims made over the body's behaviour in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

But according to The Sun, when an IRC team was sent to Africa to look into 24 cases where the scandal was first reported, it found a further 13 ethics breaches.

Comment: Oxfam also recently found itself in hot water for similar accusations:

Ex-Development Secretary says government officials 'at the highest levels' knew of Oxfam sex abuse, attempted to cover-up the scandal

Regarding Soros's efforts to stimulate migration, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán commented:
"Migration is not the goal but the instrument of the Soros plan. Millions of people who ended up in unfortunate circumstances from Africa and the Middle East are lured to Europe, moreover are directly transported there, to weaken the nations and provide the final blow to Christian culture. Let's speak honestly: in that way, the Soros plan seriously endangers the safety of our everyday life, too."

The result of Robert Mueller's Russiagate investigation: Nothing

Russiagate
Robert Mueller discredited himself and his orchestrated Russiagate investigation today (Friday, February 16, 2018) with his charges that 13 Russians and 3 Russian companies plotted to use social media to influence the 2016 election. Their intent, Mueller says, was to "sow discord in the US political system." [Link]

What pathetic results to come from a 9 month investigation!

Note that the hyped Russian hacking of Hillary's emails that we have heard about every day is nowhere to be found in Mueller's charges. In its place there is "use of social media to sow discord." I mean, really! Even if the charge were correct, considering the massive discord present in the last presidential election, with the Democrats calling Trump voters racist, sexist, homophobic white trash deplorables, how much discord could a measly 13 Russians add via social media?

Comment: In the long run, Mueller's ridiculous indictments will do the Russiagate narrative more harm than good.

Fake News: Czech spy claims Corbyn was 'paid informant' of Cold War communist network

Jeremy Corbyn was a paid informant of the Czech secret police at the height of the Cold War, a former Communist secret agent claims.

Former spy Jan Sarkocy said he recruited the MP, codenamed Cob, in the 1980s.

Mr Corbyn was an 'asset' who knew he was working with the Soviet puppet state, Mr Sarkocy claimed.

Comment: The Fake News is strong with this one. Czech security services have since debunked all of these crazy allegations - Corbyn was never a collaborator and didn't even know the 'diplomat' he met with was a spy. Politico reports:
The Sun's account was further disputed in Czech press on Friday. New agency ČTK quoted Svetlana Ptáčníková, who heads the Czech Security Forces Archive, which keeps documents from the now defunct Czechoslovak communist secret service (known as the StB). She said although Corbyn did meet an StB officer - referred to as Jan Dymic in the archives - the Labour leader considered him a diplomat.

"Mr. Corbyn was neither registered [by the StB] as a collaborator, nor does this [his alleged collaboration] stem from archive documents," Ptacnikova said.

The Czech archive keepers have found signs that the StB tried to prevent Corbyn from discovering the real identity of the Czechoslovak official he was meeting, Ptacnikova said.

Poroshenko wants the entire world to ban the Russian flag

President of Ukraine Pyotr Poroshenko accused Russia of trying to "destroy democracy" and stated that the Russian flag "should not be flying anywhere".

Speaking at the 54th Munich Security Conference, Poroshenko spoke out against holding a presidential election in the Crimea and restoring Russia's powers in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. Ukrainian president called Northern Stream-2 the "political and energy expansion" of Moscow and the project that "has nothing to do with economic interests."

Comment: Poroshenko's just angry that the Nord Stream 2 and the Turk Stream promise to sideline Ukraine from Europe's energy market. Sputnik reports:
The Atlantic Council's fellow noted that attempts to pressure Russia into delivering its gas to Europe through Ukraine undermine the EU energy security. On the other hand, "the expansion of the Nord Stream pipeline would indeed mean that the far more stable Germany would replace Ukraine as a transit state for some of Russia's exports," she wrote.

Additionally, US decision makers need to keep in mind that Nord Stream "doesn't only have strong support in Moscow, but also in Berlin," the American scholar underscored and recommended Washington "carefully choose its battles with its allies in Europe." [...]

However strong Berlin's support for Ukraine is, it is clear that once the Turkish Stream gas pipeline becomes operational, Ukraine's role as a transit state will fade into oblivion, the journalist noted.

Under these circumstances it is up to the German leadership to decide who will become Europe's major energy hub - Germany or Turkey. According to Lekukh, Berlin is unlikely to miss this opportunity.

Copy-Paste investigation: Mueller patched together much of his indictment from 2015 Radio Free Europe article

cnn russia nothing burger
After sixteen months of investigations and over a year-and-a-half of the FBI and Obama administration spying on Donald Trump, his family, his business, his campaign, his transition team and his administration - Special Counsel Robert Mueller dropped an absolute nothing-burger on Friday in announcing charges against Russian operatives who sullied the US election process during the 2016 election and following Donald Trump's victory.

Comment: Indeed, this is recyled news presented as the 'shocking' conclusion of the investigation. See:

Western world leaders caught up in web of lies and war crimes

accusations against Russia made by the US and its NATO
US Defense Secretary James Mattis
The torrent of reckless false accusations against Russia made by the US and its NATO allies is hitting warp speed.

This week saw more baseless allegations of Russian cyber attacks on American elections and British industries.

There were also crass claims by US officials that Russia was behind so-called sonic attacks on American diplomats in Cuba.


Then a Dutch foreign minister was forced to resign after he finally admitted telling lies for the past two years over alleged Russian plans for regional aggression.

The United States is executing a Global War Plan

aircraft carrier
Washington is moving inevitably on a global war plan. That's the grim conclusion one has to draw from three unfolding war scenarios.

Ultimately, it's about American imperialism trying to assert hegemony over the international order for the benefit of US capitalism. Russia and China are prime targets for this global assault.

The three unfolding war scenarios are seen in Syria, North Korea and Ukraine. These are not disparate, disassociated conflicts. They are inter-related expressions of the American war plans. War plans which involve the moving of strategic military power into position.

Last week's massacre of over 100 Syrian government forces by American warplanes near Deir ez-Zor was an audacious overt assault by the US on the Syrian state. The US, along with other NATO allies, have been up to now waging a seven-year proxy war for regime change against Russia's ally, President Assad. The massacre last week was certainly not the first time that US forces, illegally present in Syria, have attacked the Syrian army. But it seems clearer than ever now that American forces are operating on the overt agenda for regime change. US troops are transparently acting like an occupation army, challenging Russia and its legally mandated support for the Syrian state.

Comment: As a general rule, you don't wage wars in more than one front at a time. Thus, the American strategy of global reach may collapse under its own weight. In the end, this is a game the US cannot win. Unfortunately, the Empire can still knock over the board in fury. It holds the 'big red button' and it can cause a catastrophe where we all lose. We live in dangerous times!

The obnoxious Mike Pence shows why Korea must end United States occupation

Mike Pence's boorish and disgraceful behavior at the Pyeongchang Olympics illustrates why the United States can play no constructive role in the easing of tensions on the Korean Peninsula. In just 48 hours, the overbearing Vice President managed to insult or embarrass everyone he encountered including South Korean President Moon Jae-in and his honored guest from the north, Kim Yo-jong. Pence flaunted his contempt for the Korean people by humiliating their leaders, shrugging off their hospitality, and scoffing at their joint efforts for peace. He acted like an arrogant proconsul who only deigns to visit his subjects in order to treat them with condescension and scorn. His behavior proved to the world that he is a blustery, egotistical bonehead who doesn't have the slightest regard for the feelings of others.

Before he'd even set foot on Korean soil, Pence had already started stirring up trouble by announcing "the toughest and most aggressive round of economic sanctions on North Korea ever". The announcement, that was made a day earlier in Tokyo, was clearly designed to exacerbate already strained relations and put a damper on any negotiations currently underway between North and South. The belligerent VP wanted to make sure that any attempts at rapprochement between Pyongyang and Soule would be swiftly thwarted by the Washington overlords. Far from an isolated incident, Pence's preemptive announcement follows a familiar pattern of heavy-handed intervention into Korea's domestic affairs that stretches back more than 6 decades with the aim of derailing any promising move towards national reconciliation or détente. The western media has done an impressive job in concealing Washington's malignant role in Korea's politics. By focusing on imaginary threats from the North, they have obfuscated the real source of the divisions, the distrust, and the hostility. Washington.

Comment: Mike Pence forgot his manners because he was upset at the possibility of peace breaking out in the Korean Peninsula. See:

'Sad and upsetting': EU pushes Balkans to choose either West or Russia, says Lavrov

Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov

EU's demands for the Balkan states to choose between the West or Russia are counterproductive and only increase tensions on the European continent, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told Serbia's Beta news agency.

Ukraine was presented with same dilemma, Lavrov said, which "eventually led to a fracture in the Ukrainian society and state; caused an unconstitutional coup (in 2014) and the rise of radicals, including Neo-Nazis, in the internal political affairs of the country."

"Now they want to drag the Balkans into this same game, making them choose whether they are with the West or with Russia," he warned.

The EU's Balkan expansion plan foresees the inclusion of both Serbia and Montenegro into the bloc by 2025 if the countries meet certain conditions. Among other things, Belgrade is required to normalize relations with Kosovo, which unilaterally declared independence from Serbia in 2008, and bring its foreign policy into line with those of the EU.
