Though intelligence documents from the 1973 coup period have been declassified since 1999, the CIA continues to censor them. The CIA continues to withhold information on its involvement in the Sept. 11, 1973 coup that led to the death of President Salvador Allende in Chile, followed by a deadly dictatorship, according to documents posted Friday by the National Security Archive.

In the list of published documents, the section regarding Chile is censored. The President's Daily Briefs, the intelligence reports given daily to the U.S. president, in particular former President Richard Nixon days before Allende's death, were among those censored.

According to Peter Kornbluh, director of the Archive's Chile Documentation Project, censorship on this issue makes no sense since the intelligence agency has officially acknowledged its ties to those who plotted the coup from inside the Chilean military, and declassified several intelligence reports since. "The CIA is trying—but failing—to hold history hostage," Kornbluh said. "The CIA is attempting to cover up what Nixon knew about coup plotting in Chile and when he knew it, as well as hiding the CIA's own contacts and connections to the coup plotters."

Comment: We may never know the true extent of manipulation, destruction and evil perpetrated by the CIA and other such absolutes. They create their own necessity and protect it with self-appointed impunity. Untouchable.

CNN's Russophobia problem

CNN just absolutely exploded with Russophobia this week after Donald Trump's comments about Vladimir Putin in his Commander-in-Chief Forum interview with Matt Lauer. You had CNN prime time hosts like Erin Burnett and Anderson Cooper falling all over themselves to analyze the whole Donald Trump-Vladimir Putin bromance angle, with Burnett even calling Putin "Trump's obsession."

And it wasn't just Burnett and Cooper — you had normally level-headed political analysts like Gloria Borger and John King suggesting that Trump's comments about Russia and Putin were traitorous, unpatriotic and treasonous. And you had the very diligent Manu Raju trying to track down just about every Republican he could find in Washington, in order to ask them what they thought about Trump's Putin comments at the Commander-in-Chief Forum — a segment that included Senator John McCain escaping into an elevator while calling Putin "a murderer and a thug."

There's just one problem with this. It's not unpatriotic or treasonous if you support better U.S.-Russian relations. It's not unpatriotic or treasonous to suggest that the U.S. president needs to talk with his Russian counterpart. And it's not unpatriotic or treasonous to suggest that Russia might become an equal partner of the United States in helping to defeat ISIS. This isn't the Cold War era all over again, even if that's the narrative that the mainstream media crowd wants to run with these days. Maybe the folks at CNN and NBC have been watching too many episodes of "The Americans."

Russian troops take up positions in Aleppo, Jihadis given ultimatum

Russian troops take positions along Castello road - the key road leading into Aleppo from the north - as Russian officials speak of Jihadi forces in eastern Aleppo evacuating the city.

Russia's official news agency TASS has confirmed that Russian troops are taking positions along the Aleppo road - the main road leading into Aleppo from the north, which was captured by the Syrian army in July.

At the news conference in Geneva on Sunday US Secretary of State Kerry confirmed that part of the agreement between the US and Russia for a ceasefire in Syria involved the 'demilitarisation' of the Castello road, to allow for humanitarian access into Aleppo. This is what Kerry said
".....this arrangement (the US-Russian agreement - AM) also requires forces from both sides to pull back from Castello Road - and we have agreed on that pullback. Castello Road is a major artery into Aleppo, and what this pullback will do is create a demilitarized zone around it, permitting as quickly as possible the resumption of humanitarian and civilian traffic along that road. And that will be achieved over a period of time by some monitoring, which is essential to the compliance."

Lawmakers approved a June congressional ethics committee recommendation in favor of impeaching Cunha.

Former president of the chamber of deputies and mastermind of President Dilma Rousseff's impeachment, Eduardo Cunha, lost his seat in the lower house Monday night that had so far given him immunity against judicial proceedings over corruption charges.

Representatives voted overwhelmingly in favor of his removal with 450 votes for impeachment, nine abstentions and 10 votes against, when the approval required only 257 deputies, with a minimum of 420 attending the vote.

At the end of the vote, Cunha left the assembly surrounded with guards while opposition representatives chanted "Cunha Out!"

Cunha has been investigated for lying about hiding over US$5 million in laundered money in secret Swiss bank accounts. He denied having money offshore, but accounts tied to him were repeatedly confirmed by Swiss officials.

Russia sends tough warning to IMF on Ukraine

The IMF is due to meet tomorrow Wednesday 14th September 2016 to discuss Ukraine. In advance of that meeting Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov has fired a warning shot across the IMF's bows.

Here is what Russia's official news agency TASS reports Siluanov as having said:
"The International Monetary Fund has made changes to its policy on the provision of funds to a country, which is in arrears to an official creditor.

The fund set the indicators for reduction of Ukraine's debt without taking into account the interests of Russia, and our $3 billion of debt was included in the list of liabilities which are to be restructured. Until 2018, the program was made in such a way that Russia will receive no single penny of that debt from Ukraine.

We were going to meet halfway with our neighbors and partner even amid such tensions. As the result of zero export duties Russia's contribution to the stabilization of the Ukrainian economy amounted to more than $1 billion, while the total international assistance to Ukraine amounted to $3.6 billion.

Today, we will give the necessary orders to our representative in the International Monetary Fund - during the consideration of the International Monetary Fund's loan to Ukraine we will vote against this decision, because we believe that it was made in non-compliance with the regulations. It is possible that the fund did not have the full information on negotiations, though, it would seem strange - our negotiating position was entirely open."

Airlines in China will spend more than $1 trillion on new airplanes over the next two decades to meet the country's booming demand for air travel, Boeing said in its annual China market outlook.

It estimates 6,810 new aircraft purchases by China in the next twenty years, up 7.6 percent from its previous demand prediction until 2034.

"As China transitions to a more consumer-based economy, aviation will play a key role in its economic development," said Randy Tinseth, Vice President of Marketing, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "Because travel and transportation are key services, we expect to see passenger traffic grow 6.4 percent annually in China over the next 20 years," he added.

According to Tinseth, the country's growing middle class and new visa policies "gives every reason to expect a very bright future for China's long-haul market."

SOTT Focus: Cooperation between US and Russia in Syria finally a reality?

After 14 hours of marathon talks in Geneva, Russia and the USA agreed on a new ceasefire deal in Syria. A key difference to the February cessation of hostilities deal is that the US and Russia have agreed to coordinate airstrikes on Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (JFS, formerly known as Jabhat al-Nusra). There is a catch — and here is where we get the first signs of the agreement unravelling: pre-conditions of a seven-day cease fire need to be met before strikes can commence.

Under the deal an initial 48-hour ceasefire commences as of yesterday, 12 September. This ceasefire then extends to at least 7 days. Should the ceasefire hold, a Russian-US Joint Implementation Centre (JIG) will be set up to delineate territories controlled by JFS and opposition groups in areas of active hostilities. This amounts to separating terrorists and "moderate" or "sane" opposition.

Russia and the US will share targeting data and coordinate air strikes against JFS and ISIS. To ensure the effectiveness of airstrikes, the US is to persuade opposition groups it supports to separate themselves from JFS forces. Up to this point this has been an exercise in futility, or perhaps intransigence, and is another potential pitfall to unravel the agreement in its embryonic stage.

DNC holding emergency meeting to discuss replacing deteriorating Killary as presidential nominee

Killary
In a stunning turn of events, the Democratic National Committee is set to hold an emergency meeting to discuss replacing Hillary Clinton as the Democratic presidential nominee after she was caught on camera collapsing during a 9/11 memorial in New York yesterday.

Emmy award-winning journalist David Shuster noted in a social media post that Democratic Party operatives are in the process of planning a crisis summit to discuss alternatives to Clinton. The ongoing media speculation, about potentially serious health issues, was confirmed with this latest incident.

In an effort to cover up her heath problems, the Clinton campaign initially denied any health related issues and blamed the collapse on heat exhaustion only to later come forward and admit that Hillary has been suffering from a case of pneumonia for the past three days. This admission raises the distinct possibility of a larger cover-up related to her health problems.

A Democratic operative reportedly told Shuster that the combination of the shocking footage of Clinton collapsing at the 9/11 memorial, along with her campaign hiding the fact that she had been suffering from pneumonia for the past three days - represented "uncharted political territory."

Luxembourg FM says Hungary should be kicked out of EU for ill treatment of refugees

Hungary wall refugees
Hungary should be suspended or even expelled from the EU for its approach to refugees, Luxembourg's foreign minister announced. Just days before leaders meet to discuss the future of the bloc, he stressed migrants are treated "nearly as bad as animals."

Speaking to the German daily Die Welt, Jean Asselborn criticized Hungary for the way it has dealt with the refugee crisis, saying that such behavior should come with consequences.

"Anyone who, like Hungary, builds fences against refugees from war or who violates press freedom and judicial independence should be excluded temporarily, or if necessary for ever, from the EU," Asselborn said as quoted by AP, adding that it's the only way to "preserve the cohesion and values of the European Union."

He went on to claim that refugees are being treated "nearly as bad as animals" in Hungary.

The Hungarian government has been vehemently opposed to taking in refugees from conflict areas such as Syria since Europe's refugee crisis began. It constructed a fence along its border with Serbia in September 2015 and blocked a passage from Croatia one month later.

Budapest also introduced new legislation punishing illegal entry and vandalism of the border fences. The laws have led to almost 3,000 convictions in fast-track trials, most of which resulted in expulsion orders, according to Deutsche Welle.

Comment: Hungary, along with Greece and other, lesser EU members, is bearing the brunt of policies they had no part in creating.

Three Syrian nationals suspected of having ties with Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) have been arrested after federal police raided refugee camps in northern Germany early on Tuesday, according to prosecutors.

They suspect that the three men, aged between 17 and 26, had been dispatched to Germany in November 2015 "to carry out a mission that they had been informed about or to wait for further instructions" from the terror group, Reuters reported.

"Based on the information that the Federal Crime Office has so far been able to obtain, the three are strongly suspected of coming to Germany in November 2015 on orders from Islamic State," the Federal Prosecutors' Office was cited as saying.

"Concrete missions or orders have not so far been found in the course of investigations carried out so far," the news agency reported, citing prosecutors.
