WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange has rejected claims by The Intercept that he backed Donald Trump's presidential campaign. He accused the outlet of furthering one of the authors' personal obsession.

"The editorial propriety of letting Micah F Lee, of all people, instrumentalize the Intercept to further his obsessive, obscenity laden campaign against WikiLeaks must be questioned," Assange said on Thursday.

Assange added that Lee was "formally behind cutting off WikiLeaks' US tax deductible donations," referring to the Freedom of the Press Foundation cutting off WikiLeaks' access to funding.

Comment: The accusations levied at Wikileaks/Assange in the Intercept's hit-piece range from 'blatant transmisogyny,' 'sexism and misogyny,' all the way to 'hints of anti-Semitism'. In other words, it's 'Women's Studies' levels of desperate, with a dash of the ADL for good measure.

Here are a few more reasons to read the Intercept with caution:

Afghanistan: UN report reveals shocking civilian death toll and terrorists gaining territory

Afghan security forces take positions while responding to blasts and gunfire. January 24, 2018.

The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) has released a damning report on civilian casualties in the ongoing war, pointing to air strikes and improvised explosives as the cause of most deaths and injuries.

The 2017 annual report, titled "Protection of Civilians in Armed Conflict," gives a chilling assessment on the number of civilians killed by the ongoing conflict between the NATO-backed Afghan security forces and anti-government factions, such as Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) and the Taliban, emphasizing they were the primary causes of non-combatant deaths.

"Civilian casualties caused during ground engagements against Anti-Government Elements accounted for the majority - 53 per cent - of all civilian casualties attributed to Pro-Government Forces," the report states.

Comment: Without the US and its allies, ISIS/the Taliban wouldn't exist:

'Productive and open talk': Tillerson, Erdogan meet amid heightened strain over Operation Olive Branch

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan have had a meeting as relations between the two North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) partners have frayed in the wake of Ankara's ongoing cross-border offensive in Syria's northwestern region of Afrin against the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG).

A Turkish presidential source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the top US diplomat and the Turkish leader sought ways to improve strained ties during their Thursday meeting in Ankara, which lasted for more than three hours behind closed doors.

The source noted that Erdogan conveyed his priorities and expectations on Syria, and also discussed Iraq, regional developments and the fight against terror with the US secretary of state.

Moreover, a US State Department spokesman travelling with Tillerson said the top US diplomat and Turkey had a "productive and open" talk.

Desperate Fuzzy Alliance: Damascus to deploy forces in Afrin - Reports

Sputnik
Fri, 16 Feb 2018 02:00 UTC

The Kurdish militias and the Syrian government have reached an agreement on the deployment of the Syrian Armed Forces in Syria's district of Afrin, Lebanese media reported on Thursday.

The decision was made in order to protect the district and counter the attacks of Turkey or its allies in Afrin, Mayadeen broadcaster reported, citing a source with a knowledge of the situation.

A source familiar with the situation told Sputnik on Thursday that the Syrian Armed Forces would enter the territory near the border with Turkey in the district of Afrin in the next few days.

"The agreement has been reached on the deployment of the Syrian Armed Forces at the Syrian-Turkish border in Afrin in the north of Aleppo in the next few days. The agreement was reached between the Syrian government and the Kurds," the source said.

Comment: United States attempted to create a 30,000 Kurdish border security force that evoked Turkish anger and invasion. United State's failure to support Kurds against Turks forced them to take Assad's help. At the same time, Assad is fighting with US-backed Kurds in Dier ez-Zor region and he is also fighting with Turkish backed HTS in Idlib. Putin is standing for a reelection in March. More Russian casualties will have negative impact on his election campaign. More Turkish casualties in this war will have negative impact on Erdogan at home. American Syria policy is in disarray due to deep-state, Trump infighting. With no major party interested in serious casualties at this point in time (except Assad), we have a interesting fuzzy alliances.

Economist: Fed triggered the big stock sell-off - and the almighty dollar's next, 'this kind of thing eventually gives you hyperinflation'

In his latest report, economist John Williams asks the question, "Did the Fed trigger the stock sell-off?" Williams answer, "It sure looks that way. With all the heave selling, the bond yields were rising and investors didn't like that. Risings bond yields means someone is selling bonds. The Fed was not selling bonds, they were not rolling over the bonds they normally wood. . . . There was a big drop in the amount of bonds the Fed was holding in the last week by about $10 billion. That was the biggest weekly decline since August of 2012. . . It was enough to put some upside pressure on the interest rates . . . and that was a trigger (for the stock market sell-off). Normally, you don't crash from an all-time high, not that it crashed, but you did have pretty heavy selling. You didn't see much movement in the dollar. You didn't see much movement in gold, and when this market really goes, I think you are going to see the dollar selling off very rapidly and gold being a flight to safe haven."

Unhinged Schiff claims there's more 'non-public evidence' of Trump-Russia collusion and obstruction

Ranking member of the House Intel Committee and suspected leaker, Adam Schiff (D-CA) continued to spread the big lie that he has 'more evidence' of Trump-Russia collusion and obstruction.

The DNC servers have yet to be inspected by federal investigators and the FBI has not questioned WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Let that sink in.

At a breakfast sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor on Wednesday, Rep Schiff told reporters the panel has "non-public" evidence of Trump-Russia collusion and obstruction.

After rattling off his usual talking points of Russian collusion 'evidence' which is already public knowledge, Schiff pivoted to the issue of 'obstruction'.

President Macron vows to reform Islam in France

French President Emmanuel Macron, in a declared effort to "fight fundamentalism" and "preserve national cohesion," has promised to "lay the groundwork for the entire reorganization of Islam in France."

According to Macron, the plan, similar in ambition to Austria's Islam Law, is aimed at seeking to "better integrate" Islam in France in order to "place it in a more peaceful relationship with the state."

A key priority is to reduce outside interference by restricting foreign funding for mosques, imams and Muslim organizations in France. The plan's overall objective is to ensure that French law takes precedence over Islamic law for Muslims living in the country.

Comment: A minority of French imams agree with Macron. It's important they exercise the influence they have and find a workable solution. France is becoming one of several European powder kegs. Austria provides an example:

Hailemariam Desalegn says he has submitted his resignation as both Ethiopia's prime minister and chairman of the country's ruling coalition.

Hailemariam's announcement comes amid a political crisis and lingering unrest in the Horn of Africa country, which has been releasing thousands of political prisoners to ease tensions.

"Unrest and a political crisis have led to the loss of lives and displacement of many," Hailemariam said in a televised address on Thursday.

"I see my resignation as vital in the bid to carry out reforms that would lead to sustainable peace and democracy," he said.
