Rest in Peace: Moammar Al Ghadafi, great leader of Libya and Africa, assassinated 6 years ago today

Khaddafi Libië
On the anniversary of the brutal assassination of Moammar Al Ghadafi, we express our great sadness and regret to the people of Libya and Africa. This man, Moammar Al Ghadafi, a visionary who cared greatly about his country and his people, was such a threat to the New World Order evil Zionist (Khazarian mafia) that they not only assassinated him brutally (and his son Mutasim) but they also destroyed his beautiful Libya. Libya being an example of how the wealth of a country could be shared among it's people could not be tolerated. Even worse than that, these criminal Zionist banksters had no control over Libya as it was debt free and not part of the IMF or World bank. Ghadafi fully understood the nasty fiat currency game and started the African bank with a gold backed currency for Africa. This one act would have destroyed the fiat banksters. The destruction of Libya, the theft of all Libyan assets, the invasion of radical Islamic mercenaries (250,000) and the death of close to 1 million innocent Libyans was and is considered by the evil NWO Zionists as "acceptable collateral damage".

As for the rest of the world, waking up to the evil that controls this world is not an option, wake up or be destroyed.

Comment: Ruling the country for 41 years until his demise in October 2011, Gaddafi transformed Libya from the poorest nation on Earth into Africa's richest while attempting to unite and empower the whole of Africa. Despite the Western media's vilification, Gaddafi's efforts to improve life for his people were hardly those of a vicious dictator:

The US must step up support for French troops fighting Islamic State in West Africa, the French defense minister said during a visit to Washington, even as US officials sparred over the ambush in Niger that left four US service members dead.

"Much more needs to be done," Defense Minister Florence Parly said after a meeting Friday with her US counterpart James Mattis and National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster, according to Reuters. "We can't be and don't want to be, the praetorian (guards) of sovereign African countries. They must be made able to defeat terror on their own."

Without US support, Parly said, the mission is likely to fail.

Something to hide? Trump-dossier firm Fusion GPS asks court to stop House from seeing bank records

On the same day, Oct. 4, that the House Intelligence Committee subpoenaed three employees of the opposition research firm Fusion GPS to testify in the Trump dossier investigation, the committee also subpoenaed TD Bank for Fusion's bank records.

Now, according to a source familiar with the situation, Fusion has asked a U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., judge to prevent the bank from complying with the subpoena.

The move comes just days after two of those three Fusion employees asserted their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination rather than answer questions about the dossier. A third subpoenaed Fusion employee, founder Glenn Simpson, has not yet appeared before the House.

The committee's intention in sending the subpoena to TD Bank is to see if Fusion's bank records shed light on who financed the Trump dossier. That is one of the two most important questions in the dossier investigation -- the other being whether any U.S. intelligence or law enforcement agencies used the unverified dossier as a basis for surveillance applications to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.

Russians, Turks visit Kurdish-held air base in northern Syria for talks

menagh syria
Three Russian helicopters have reportedly landed at the Menagh Air Base, located in the northern countryside of Aleppo province.

The air base, which used to belong to the Syrian Army, is now under control of the US-backed and Kurdish-led so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) who captured the base from the so-called "moderate rebels" last year, while receiving support from the Russian Air Force.

According to the sources close to the Russian military, members of the Russian and Turkish delegations were on board the helicopters.

The two delegations are said to have met with the Kurdish military leaders at the base.

This comes days after the Syrian Democratic Forces announced full liberation of the northern Syrian city of Raqqah, the former de-facto capital of ISIS.

Comment: The Americans are clearly banking on the SDF to hold territory and act as a thorn in the side of the Syrian government. But it remains to be seen what future actions the SDF will actually take. They may be more willing to work with the Russians and Assad's government than the Americans hope.

Putin says Americans should stop disrespecting Trump and his supporters - he doesn't need any advice

Russian President Vladimir Putin has called on U.S. citizens to stop disrespecting President Donald Trump, a trend that the Russian leader called a symptom of a poor political system in the U.S.

Putin, who U.S. officials have accused of swaying the 2016 U.S. presidential race in Trump's favor, broke a streak of hostile diplomatic exchanges between the two leading powers during a speech Thursday in order to defend his former political ally from what he considers unfair criticism at home. Speaking at the Valdai Discussion Club in Sochi, Putin again denied any claims of Russian interference in last year's U.S. elections, asserting that Trump "won honestly" and that he and his supporters have behaved legitimately in response to the current U.S. political climate.

"Inside the country, disrespect is shown for him. This is a regrettable negative component of the U.S. political system," Putin said, according to the state-run Tass Russian News Agency.

"One can argue but one can't show disrespect, even not for him personally but for those people who voted for him," he added.

Trump defies CIA request for delay, will use executive powers to release full JFK files

jfk oswald
Donald Trump has just Tweeted that he will use his executive powers to release the previously secretive JFK files to the public for the first time.


Trump's move is made in apparent defence of CIA wises not to have the files opened and released to the general public.

Comment: Earlier in the week, Stone reportedly spoke to Trump about the files:
"Yesterday, I had the opportunity to make the case directly to the president of the United States by phone as to why I believe it is essential that he release the balance of the currently redacted and classified JFK assassination documents," Stone said. "A very good White House source - not the President - told me that the Central Intelligence Agency, specifically CIA director Mike Pompeo, has been lobbying the President furiously not to release these documents. Why? Because I believe they show that Oswald was trained, nurtured and put in place by the Central Intelligence Agency."

Stone said it wasn't clear what Trump will do. "He did not tip off his current decision," Stone said. "We're going to have to wait . . . but he was all ears. He took it all in . . . I think he's going to do the right thing." This morning it appears that Trump has decided to side with Stone over the arguments from the NSC and various other "covert" U.S. agencies.

The Russian economy has overcome the recession and returned to moderate growth this year, according to the latest report from the World Bank.

"The countries of Central Europe and the western part of the Balkan Peninsula continue to record steady GDP growth, while Russia and Belarus have emerged from the recession," said the bank in its report on European and Central Asian economies.

It explained the Russian economy was supported by higher oil prices and macro stabilization.

The World Bank forecasts the economy will grow by 1.7 percent this year and next, and by 1.8 percent in 2019.

Is the Left in its last spasm?

Antifa
As far as anybody knows, the November 4th revolution/tantrum/jamboree planned by Antifa and its associate organizations remains on schedule. The "Opposition" - Antifa, the John Brown Clubs, Refuse Fascism, and assorted other scraps have announced that on that date the revolution will begin with a mass nationwide uprising that will continue until the Trump/Pence regime is overcome. Dozens of hundreds of the people's vanguard will hit the streets, squatting at intersections and holding their breaths until the fascists are exorcised and the new epoch of light is fully underway. (Further details can be found here.)

Conservatives, as is all too often the case, have overreacted. Numerous sites, publications, and radio shows have featured rhetoric such as "Antifa Planning Communist Revolution for America on November 4," "Patriots beware! ANTIFA plans armed uprising on November 4!," and "The Leftist Chaos Will Be Coming On November 4th." (Links withheld to protect the guilty.)

But the truth, if anything, is exactly the opposite. What we are experiencing, far from a deadly revolutionary upsurge threatening everything of value, is a historically unique situation where, for the first time on record, a leftist movement is in complete and accelerating collapse within a democratic polity. The upcoming people's revolt is simply another symptom of this.

Retired Russian general Vladimir Shamanov who heads the State Duma Defense Committee said that after the end of the current Russian military operations in Syria, there will be a need for series of special operations that may last a longer period of time, in order to permanently cleanse Syria of all the remnants of the terrorists.

"I would be happy if all military operations were completed before the end of the current year, but it seems that after the completion of the general military operations, a period of special operations will be needed", Shamanov was heard saying.

According to a report by the Israeli newspaper Maariv, the country is secretly preparing to purchase three Dolphin-class submarines from Germany at a total cost of $1.3 billion. This purchase will come in addition to its existing contract for six German submarines, the last of which is due for delivery in 2017.

"The new submarines are said to be more advanced, longer and equipped with better accessories," the newspaper report said.

The Israeli Defense Ministry refused to provide an immediate response.

While Israel pursues a policy of neither acknowledging nor denying its nuclear weapons capabilities, the Dolphin submarines are reportedly able to carry and launch missiles equipped with nuclear warheads.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been under increasing pressure amid his decision to tie up an expensive arms deal with German defense enterprises without consent of the Israeli Ministry of Defense, German newspaper Handelsblatt reported.

In particular, Netanyahu is being accused of pushing the expensive submarine deal despite the opposition of the Israeli Ministry of Defense.

"I was strictly against the purchase of three more submarines," Defense Minister Mosche Jaalon wrote on his Facebook page.

Meanwhile, Israel has already received five German submarines, "partly financed by German taxpayers," the newspaper wrote.

The purchase price for Dolphin-class submarines is about 600 million euro.
Update (Oct. 21): German Chancellor Angela Merkel's government approved a deal to sell the Israeli Navy three submarines costing up to $1 billion each, overcoming reservations about dealing with Israeli officials closely connected to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is facing corruption charges.
"The Germans have given their approval to the deal," an Israeli official told Agence France-Presse Friday.

Multiple clauses within the final contract sweetened the deal for Germany. Notably, they allow Germany to back out of the deal in the event that Israel's attorney general charges the prime minister or his closest aides for criminal wrongdoing, Jerusalem Online reports, citing local media.
