Puppet Masters
We are certainly living in unique times when it comes to propaganda, or as it is more recently termed, "fake news". Since the end of the Cold War nearly three decades ago, I'm not aware of a period of time when the Western media has done what it can to propagate the narrative that all things Russian are bad and, by extension, all things American must, therefore, be good. In other words, whatever Russia says about any given issue must be propaganda and whatever the West says must be the truth. In fact, we don't have to look to far to see how the "Russian threat" has been swallowed hook, line and sinker by politicians from many Western nations, Hollywood and the television networks and the print media.
There is one organization and individual that has put "pen to paper" and outlined exactly why we should be so afraid of Russia and its leader, Vladimir Putin, the very embodiment of evil and how their influence on our core beliefs should be reined in.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has attacked him and vowed to challenge his "America First" trade agenda while also confronting him about his climate stance - something that might be difficult to do, since Trump left this morning after he said he would skip discussions about climate change Saturday night.
Trump also showed up late to a gender-focused breakfast meeting, billed by the event's Canadian organizers as a chance for leaders to "draft concrete actions for the G-7 to advance gender equality," according to CBC. Isabelle Hudon, Canada's ambassador to France, was making opening remarks when Trump and a flood of press pool members arrived and interrupted her.
Comment: Times are changing, and so while G7 may not achieve any obvious goals, the dynamics of what happens there is revealing the shifts in the balance of power around the world:
- Trump's Outrageous New Trade Policies - Is There a Method to His Madness?
- Globalist conference season
- Rambouillet ruse? Why Trump could be setting up his North Korea talks to fail
- Trump late for G7 breakfast meeting, Trudeau says start without 'stragglers'

Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel talks with US President Donald Trump at the G7 summit in Charlevoix, Quebec, Canada, on June 8, 2018
Merkel described Trump's decision to withdraw his approval of the joint communique following the G7 summit in Canada as a "sobering experience." She also praised the joint statement itself as a "laboriously negotiated" document. "The withdrawal by tweet is, of course, sobering and a bit depressing as well," she told Germany's Anne Will talk show on Sunday evening.
"I don't think that inflammatory language makes things better. Sometimes it seems that the American president thinks that only one side wins and everyone else loses," Merkel said, apparently speaking about Trump's verbal attacks against Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. She also praised Trudeau by saying that she is glad that he is "on the EU's side."
Trade dominated the two-day summit that began on Friday with leaders of Germany, France, Japan, Canada, Britain and Italy returning to the topic repeatedly in meetings, at a lavish dinner and by a fireside pit late into the evening.
A photo tweeted by the German government spokesman, @RegSprecher, captured the mood, showing a seated Trump, arms crossed, surrounded by other leaders standing over him.

Gender Equality Advisory Council meeting as part of a G7 summit in the Charlevoix city of La Malbaie
On the second day of the 44th G7 summit in Quebec, world leaders from the Group of Seven including the UK, France, Canada, Germany and Japan sat down for breakfast to discuss gender equality issues.
However, with the political heavyweights preparing to tuck into a continental breakfast complete with freshly poured orange juice there was one noticeable absentee - Donald Trump. According to Voice of America reporter Steve Herman, the US president failed to show for the 8am meeting until nearly 17 minutes past the hour.
The world's ruling elite will meet in secret this week. No press will be allowed in, no one will be interviewed about it, and Bilderberg will barely register as a blip within the mainstream media's radar. As the media hypes the mostly symbolic meeting between Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un, bankers, politicians, military leaders, and information controllers will be discussing their plans for the world behind closed doors and with zero transparency.
The 66th annual Bilderberg Meeting, which has been held in locations around the world throughout the years, kicks off on Thursday in in Turin, Italy and is set to end on Sunday. Despite a prestigious guest list of around 130 attendees - who will arguably have more of a global influence than any elected officials - the meeting will escape any scrutiny in the mainstream media.
Comment: And as Truthstream Media notes...
Aaron Dykes has been covering the Bilderberg meetings for the last 12 years and has researched the many decades of its existence. Never before has there been a convergence quite like this one taking place in Turin, Italy right now.See also: Globalist conference season
As Aaron and Melissa discuss, there appear to be 3 distinct areas of discussion this year, but it's also the other events and meetings taking place at the same time as Bilderberg that might herald something very big in the works.
Although benignly dubbed "rebels" by corporate media, the Salafist terrorist group Jaysh al-Islam are not fighting for freedom or human rights in Syria, nor are the other terrorist groups who formerly ruled in eastern Ghouta.
It was Jaysh al-Islam which imprisoned Syrian civilians in cages, using them as human shields against potential bombing, and Jaysh al-Islam was among the terrorist groups firing missiles and mortars onto civilians in Damascus, killing over 10,000.
They, Faylaq al-Rahman, and the other terrorist factions occupying the region reigned with terror, beheading men and women and starving the people.
Hellish rule of Jaysh al-Islam: Starvation and executions by sword
When I visited eastern Ghouta and the Horjilleh center for displaced people just south of Damascus-people mostly from Ghouta now-I asked about their lives under the rule of Jaysh al-Islam and others, including why they had been starving in the first place. The reply was, as I and others heard in eastern Aleppo, Madaya, and al-Waer, the terrorists stole aid and controlled all food, only selling food at extortionist prices which ordinary people could not afford.
Why? Well, because globalist conference season is in full swing and there are going to be plenty of air miles racked up in the coming days by the top global super-gophers. There's Bilderberg in Italy, the G7 in Canada, the SCO Summit in China and, of course, the much-ballyhooed North Korea summit in Singapore.
Lost yet? Well, don't worry. Here's the handy-dandy Corbett Report guide to globalist conference season and what we can expect to see in the coming days.
The SPLC is so effective because it exercises power through multiple levels, each building on the other. Because of "hate crimes" legislation, the political ideology or affiliations of a criminal become highly relevant to any investigation. Though the FBI no longer lists the SPLC on its "resources" page, it continues to work with the organization to investigate hate crimes. It also trains local law enforcement in how to deal with "extremists" and "hate groups." This begs the question of who constitutes these groups. This is where the SPLC's "Intelligence Project" comes in, which, as the name implies, serves as a kind of domestic intelligence agency.
Comment: SPLC was founded in 1971 as a small civil rights law firm that fought the Ku Klux Klan for financial damages for the victims of Klan violence. But despite its laudable origins, the SPLC has over time fashioned itself into a political referee while simultaneously engaging in progressive activism, using smear tactics, intimidation, and a knack for fundraising to silence its political opponents. As of October 2017, the SPLC boasts 291 employees, 640 contractors, six national offices, and an endowment fund of more than $319 million.
