US spent $585mn on 'promoting democracy' worldwide in past year and proud of it

RT
Fri, 18 Nov 2016 21:57 UTC

Washington invested $585 million in promoting democracy across the globe in the past year, the US Department of State's financial report for fiscal year 2016 revealed.

According to the paper, the State Department's total assets equaled $93.8 billion in the last fiscal year, which concluded on September 30, increasing by $3.2 billion compared to 2015.

Of this amount, $585 million was spent by the State Department under the article 'Democracy, human rights and governance' - $70 million down on the 2015 figure.

The report didn't specify the projects funded by the agency abroad, but Secretary of State John Kerry wrote in the preface that "we have supported important democratic gains in Sri Lanka, Nigeria, and Burma."

No surprise: US and Ukraine vote against anti-Nazi glorification resolution

RT
Fri, 18 Nov 2016 21:49 UTC

Ukraine, United States, and the Pacific island of Palau were the only three UN members to reject a Russian-authored resolution against rehabilitating and promoting Nazi beliefs.

The resolution to "Combat glorification of Nazism, Neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fueling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance," which has been submitted by Russia annually since 2006, was approved by the UN human rights committee with 131 members voting for, 3 against, and 48, mostly European nations, abstaining.

Washington and Kiev have been resolute opponents of the resolution, which is symbolic and has no legal power, over the years.

"We condemn without reservation all forms of religious and ethnic intolerance or hatred at home and around the world," said Deputy U.S. Representative Stefanie Amadeo. "However, due to this resolution's overly narrow scope and politicized nature, and because it calls for unacceptable limits on the fundamental freedom of expression, the United States cannot support it."

"This resolution's recommendations to limit freedom of expression, freedom of association, and the right to peaceful assembly contravene the principles enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and must be opposed."

Turkey in negotiations to buy Russian S-400 anti-missile system after snubbing China deal

RT
Fri, 18 Nov 2016 21:44 UTC

NATO member Turkey says it is in talks with Russia to purchase advanced S-400 long-range air defense missile systems. Earlier, Ankara backed out of a similar deal with China, citing Beijing's reluctance to transfer technology.

The negotiations were confirmed Friday by Turkish Defense Minister Fikri Isik, who said Russia's attitude toward the potential deal was positive.

Undersecretary of Defense Industries Ismail Demir had earlier said Turkey was prepared to work with "any interested party," including Russia and China, on developing its long-range air defense capabilities.

"We have already made clear that we will be in cooperation with countries and companies that would lend support to us throughout this process. We have said our doors are open and that we are willing to cooperate," he said, as cited by Hurriyet Daily

Britain's 1984: New surveillance law, 'most extreme ever passed in a democracy'

It's 2016 going on 1984.

The UK has just passed a massive expansion in surveillance powers, which critics have called "terrifying" and "dangerous". The new law, dubbed the "snoopers' charter", was introduced by then-home secretary Theresa May in 2012, and took two attempts to get passed into law following breakdowns in the previous coalition government. Four years and a general election later -- May is now prime minister -- the bill was finalized and passed on Wednesday by both parliamentary houses.

But civil liberties groups have long criticized the bill, with some arguing that the law will let the UK government "document everything we do online". It's no wonder, because it basically does. The law will force internet providers to record every internet customer's top-level web history in real-time for up to a year, which can be accessed by numerous government departments; force companies to decrypt data on demand -- though the government has never been that clear on exactly how it forces foreign firms to do that that; and even disclose any new security features in products before they launch.

Not only that, the law also gives the intelligence agencies the power to hack into computers and devices of citizens (known as equipment interference), although some protected professions -- such as journalists and medical staff -- are layered with marginally better protections. In other words, it's the "most extreme surveillance law ever passed in a democracy," according to Jim Killock, director of the Open Rights Group.

Comment: The UK, no longer an open-society democracy, has become an Authoritarian State.

Duterte may withdraw Philippines from 'useless' ICC, as did Russia

RT
Thu, 17 Nov 2016 09:14 UTC

Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte says he might follow Russia's lead and withdraw his country from the International Criminal Court (ICC). He went on to slam Western countries which have criticized his controversial 'war on drugs'.

Speaking on Thursday ahead of his departure to Lima to attend the Asia-Pacific summit, Duterte slammed the ICC as "useless," following criticism by an ICC prosecutor last month that the Hague-based tribunal may have jurisdiction to prosecute those responsible for deaths related to the leader's crackdown on drugs.

Duterte said he is annoyed about the criticism he has received, and stressed that "nobody was listening" to his reasons for cracking down - which has led to the deaths of between 2,300 and 4,700 people, according to conflicting estimates.

"They are useless, those in the international criminal [court]. They [Russia] withdrew. I might follow. Why? Only the small ones like us are battered," Duterte said, referencing Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision to sign an executive order removing Moscow's signature from the founding treaty of the ICC on Wednesday. Duterte is seeking a meeting with Putin in Lima this weekend, as he aims to pursue a foreign policy aimed at weaning his country's dependence on the US.

Comment: Who else is in the 'not-club' of the ICC?

The United States is not a participant in the International Criminal Court (ICC). The ICC is a permanent international criminal court, founded in 2002 by the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (Rome Statute) to "bring to justice the perpetrators of the worst crimes known to humankind - war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide", especially when national courts are unable or unwilling to do so.

As of November 2016, 124 states are members of the Court. Countries that have not signed or ratified the Rome Statute include India, Indonesia, and China. On May 6, 2002, the United States, in a position shared with Israel and Sudan, having previously signed the Rome Statute, formally withdrew its intent of ratification.

Positions in the United States concerning the ICC vary widely. The Clinton Administration signed the Rome Statute in 2000, but did not submit it for Senate ratification. The Bush Administration, the US administration at the time of the ICC's founding, stated that it would not join the ICC. The Obama Administration has subsequently re-established a working relationship with the Court.

A latent intent to cooperate with no formal policy decision, stalled out for 18 years, has given the US the liberty to en masse a global criminal record without answerability.

Lavrov: Russian jets prevent IS entering Syria, criticized Obama's farewell message as negative, sideline talks

RT
Fri, 18 Nov 2016 00:15 UTC

Russian bombers are striking terrorist targets in Syria's Idlib and Homs provinces so that Islamic State militants retreating from Iraq's Mosul do not cross into Syria, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said after "constructive" talks with his US counterpart, John Kerry.

"Our aviation and the aviation of Syria work only in the provinces of Idlib and Homs in order to prevent the IS from crossing into Syria from Mosul," Lavrov explained after meeting Secretary of State Kerry on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders week in Peru's Lima.

While both diplomats regarded the talks, which touched on Syria, Yemen and Ukraine, as "productive" and "constructive," Lavrov also alluded to the allegations made by US State Department that Russian jets were behind the reported bombings of 5 hospitals in Aleppo and Idlib. The Russian Defense Ministry repeatedly said that Russian jets have not been flying sorties in Aleppo during the last 30 days, while targets in Idlib and Homs, said to be terrorist arms factories and warehouses, are carefully selected.

Lavrov also commented on the incident at Wednesday's State Department briefing, in which spokesman John Kirby dismissed RT's Gayane Chichakyan request to provide details on the allegedly bombed hospitals on the grounds that RT was a "state-owned outlet," saying it was "unacceptable." However, Lavrov said he did not want to discuss the conduct of Kirby, who was not in Lima.

Candidate Le Pen: Joining forces with Putin & Trump would be good for world peace

RT
Thu, 17 Nov 2016 04:57 UTC

Marine Le Pen, leader of France's far-right National Front, says that if she wins the presidential elections, the world will become a safer place, as France will cooperate with both US President-elect Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Le Pen, who saw in a largely unpredicted triumph of Donald Trump an encouraging sign in the run-up to the French presidential elections, said Wednesday that anti-establishment sentiment has been gaining ground all over the world. She believes it also enabled Brexit and may propel her to the presidential office in France come May.

"The forces at work in these various elections are ideas, forces which could bring about my election as the president of France next May," Le Pen said at the opening of her presidential campaign headquarters in Paris on Wednesday, speaking of a "worldwide movement" which stands up to "unchecked globalization, destructive ultra-liberalism, the elimination of nation states, the disappearance of borders. I'm convinced the French people will follow in British and American footsteps," she told ITV News.

Outlining the first steps she would take as the president, Le Pen said she would stage a referendum on France's membership in the EU, paving the way for repeat of the British scenario, as well as reintroduce border checks. Reflecting on what impact her victory could have on a global scale, Le Pen said that a possible alliance between Russia, US and France "would be good for world peace."

Say the words, Donald - You're fired!

It is good that Hillary lost - obviously.

But it may prove to be the worst thing that could have happened.

Depending on what Trump does as president.

If he governs as a Republican, it is time to pack bags. Because the clock is ticking. We will have - at best - four years before something far worse than Hillary returns, with a vengeance.

Bernie Sanders, for instance. Or Michelle Obama.

Or - probably - something far worse than either.

If Trump screws it up, the blowback will be epic. An outright socialist will be the next president. Or perhaps something even more outright. Remember: We got Obama (and Obamacare) both of which had been inconceivable before George W. Bush because of the disaster that was George W. Bush. He did to the Republican brand what the diesel "cheating" debacle has done to VW.

Without him, Obama would have been impossible.

In the same way, Bernie (or Michelle or much worse) will be made inevitable by a failed Trump presidency.

Even those who supported Trump will be hardpressed to do so four years hence if he proves to be another Republican. Keep in mind the 90-plus percent approval enjoyed (briefly) by our "war president" and Great Decider. And what happened later. A war does distract the boobs for a time - makes it easier to pick their pockets and take away their freedoms in the name of protecting them. Wave the flag, talk about how "great" America is.

But they eventually notice that their pockets are empty and that they have become more like feudal serfs than citizens of a free republic.

Hillary lost not because Trump was a great candidate. She lost because she was transparently the tool of the War and Wall Street interests that own the country. She could not enthuse her own side. Trump won as the backlash candidate; a vote for him was a vote against the system - which Hillary embodied.

Not a vote for him.

Even Bill acknowledges this.

If Trump proves to be what Hillary certainly would have been - it's over. And this time, it'll be for good. There will not be another chance. The Free Shit Army will have its day. And a long night will descend.

Hillary attack dog David Brock scheming to "kick Trump's ass" with Soros, Steyer, Sussman

Tyler Durden

Fri, 18 Nov 2016 19:23 UTC

David Brock founded Media Matters for America, and is also chairman of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW)

The last time we encountered David Brock, Hillary Clinton's so called media "attack dog", was two months ago when we exposed a money laundering scheme involving over a dozen of his Pro-Clinton SuperPACs. Now, it appears that unable to concede defeat, the man who aligned his career with Hillary Clinton, is going for blood, and is soliciting the help, but mostly money, of Clinton's top donors.

According to Politico, Brock is launching his own Koch-brothers-like donor network to finance attacks on President-elect Donald Trump and to rebuild the political left after Trump's stunning victory over Clinton last week. In an email sent out on Thursday night, Brock emailed more than 200 of the biggest donors on the left, including finance titans George Soros, Tom Steyer and Donald Sussman all of whom invested millions of dollars in Clinton's campaign with nothing to show for it, inviting them to a private retreat in Palm Beach during inauguration weekend to assess what Democrats did wrong in 2016, figure out how to correct it and raise cash for those initiatives.

"This will be THE gathering for Democratic donors from across the country to hear from a broad and diverse group of leaders about the next steps for progressives under a Trump Administration," Brock wrote to the donors in an email. "What better way to spend inaugural weekend than talking about how to kick Donald Trump's ass?" Brock said.

Comment: Right... "Progressives". For people like Brock, that word means something different than you think it means: Progressive liberal values: Tony Podesta's creepy taste in art, the creepy people he hangs out with, and Pizzagate

ISIS suspects arrested for terror plot against Israeli soccer players in Albania

Fri, 18 Nov 2016 20:14 UTC

Counter-terrorism police in Kosovo arrested 19 people associated with Islamic State who are believed to have been preparing synchronized attacks in the Balkans region, including an assault during a football match between Israel and Albania.

Police acted in coordination and cooperation with the Kosovo Intelligence Agency (KIA), and said attacks were planned to have taken place not only in Kosovo and neighboring Albania, but across the Balkans, local daily Zeri.info reported.

Security police were closely monitoring a group of people who received orders from Lavdrim Muhaxheri, an Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) member, said to be the self-declared "commander of Albanians in Syria and Iraq."

Law enforcers discovered that the suspects were divided into different groups and coordinated by Muhaxheri. Of the 19 suspects they arrested, 18 were Kosovo citizens and one was a citizen of the Republic of Macedonia, police said. Following a thorough covert investigation, sufficient evidence was gathered showing that "certain persons were planning to commit terrorist acts in Kosovo and [an attack against] the Israeli football team and fans during the Albania-Israel match."

Police said they seized "281 grams of explosives of the type TATP, considered to be one of the most dangerous explosives, as well as about 2.5 kg of substance mixed with explosives; a semi-automatic rifle caliber 7.62mm; a hunting rifle; ammunition; 719 bullets of different calibers; a drone; a radio; cordless phones; some materials and religious literature from authors notorious for their extremist ideology."
