SOTT Focus: The Truth Perspective: What are Constructive Revolutions made of?

Broadcasting from deep in the heart of the American Empire, join your host Elan Martin, and fellow Sott.net editors, as they discuss everything from current events and the latest machinations and manipulations of the global elite to history, science, and religion, and how it all fits together.

On the lips and in the articles of many observers and activists these days is the call for Revolution in the US. With the Federal government's propensity towards war and more war, with a highly dysfunctional Congress meeting the goals of high-powered money interests and with a population of millions that has been increasingly disenfranchised, abused and terrorized the collective state of affairs in the US has become near intolerable for all but the very few.

But what to do about it - and how to do it? Though we see the desperate need for profound change in how things are being run, how can this change be implemented? Who will do the implementing, and what could take its place? As the saying goes, 'LIgnotas nulla curatio morbid' -- do not attempt to cure what you do not understand -- brings us to the question: What would a constructive Revolution consist of? And is one even possible now when it is needed most?

SOTT Focus: Closing the BUK on MH17? Dutch final report is clearly biased

Like so much other propaganda that issues from the official Western channels in recent years, the 'official' story about what happened to MH17 has been presented to the public upside down, inside out and backwards.

Within a day of the crash, Western governments and their subservient press were screaming "Putin's missile!", without a shred of hard evidence to back up their hysterical claims. Yet with the recent release of the final report by Dutch authorities that pointed the finger at a "9N314M warhead as carried on a 9M38-series missile and launched by a Buk surface-to-air missile system" as the cause of the destruction of the plane, the response from the same Western powers and press has been shockingly muted.

The reason for this should be clear to all: the real goal behind the shoot-down of MH17 was achieved in the immediate days and weeks after the crash.

Soon after Putin's immediate "trial by Western media", sanctions were imposed on Russia and the South Stream pipeline agreement between Russia and the EU was cancelled. These and other punitive anti-Russian measures benefited the USA in its long, ultimately futile, war aimed at preventing the emergence of a strong Russia onto the international stage. So, as some suggest about the 9/11 attacks, was the shooting down of MH17 by Ukrainian rebels a stupendously lucky break for Western warmongers in that it came at just the right time to add fuel to its ongoing anti-Russian propaganda campaign? Or is it possible that Western warmongers themselves were responsible for the shooting down of MH17?

Before you decide, there are a few things you should consider.

This week on Behind the Headlines, we're discussing the 'final report' by Dutch investigators on the causes of the MH17 plane crash in eastern Ukraine in July 2014, the threat to Western civilization posed by hipsters, and signs that the northern hemisphere is in for a severely cold winter.

As the US Empire does more 'stupid stuff' in Syria, we'll also be introducing the 'New Syrian Democratic Forces', casting an eye on the Canadian elections, and sussing out what the Chinese leader's upcoming visit to the UK means for the transition to a post-American world.

Broadcasting from deep in the heart of the American Empire, join your host Elan Martin, and fellow Sott.net editors, as they discuss everything from current events and the latest machinations and manipulations of the global elite to history, science, and religion, and how it all fits together.

We can hardly read, watch or hear the news without learning about some new grotesque violence inflicted among family members, a new mass shooting, a lethal bout of abuse perpetrated by police, or Western proxy forces acting like scourges upon whole nations. How much of what we're seeing is a manufactured and 'synthetic terror,' and how much of what we're seeing is the result of other factors that are largely unknown or unacknowledged. Whatever the case, the results are all around us staring us in the face, and looming larger everyday. We ignore the rising tide of irrationality and violence, which has become the 'new normal,' at our own peril.

SOTT Focus: Canadian Election 2015: Telling the truth costs political candidates their nomination

Canadian leaders
© Ottawa CitizenWhat difference does it make?
On October 19th, voters head to the polls to decide who will be Canada's next Prime Minister. Unlike the United States, which is dominated by two parties, Canadians have a whopping three main political parties to choose from: the right-wing Conservative Party, the centre-right Liberal Party and the centre-left New Democratic party.

Canada's political system is based on the British model of a parliamentary democracy, where the leader of the party that wins the most seats becomes the acting head of state. Under this model, elected members of parliament are not allowed to speak freely on matters of personal opinion or even to give voice to the needs of their local constituents, but must vote along party lines as outlined by the leader and dictated by the party 'whip' who 'whips' party members into line and prevents them from telling the truth, if possible.

Regardless of which of the three main political parties in Canada a person belongs to, any prospective political candidate that chooses to tell the truth about controversial subjects like Israel or 9/11 may quickly find themselves out of a job.

SOTT Focus: Whose side are we on? The collapsing narratives in the 'War on Terror'

US bombing Syria

It's somewhat understandable that many in the West are confused by statements and rhetoric coming from certain Western quarters since Russian airstrikes commenced in Syria on September 30th, leaving them wondering: 'whose side are we on anyway?'. Given that the Western media has spent the last two years portraying ISIS as the epitome of evil, shouldn't the Russians' intervention, at the invitation of the Syrian government, be seen as a good thing? The results so far are impressive. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the following ISIS assets have been destroyed in the first week of bombing:
  • 71 armored vehicles
  • 30 other vehicles
  • 19 command facilities
  • 2 communication centers
  • 23 depots with fuel and ammunition
  • 6 plants used to make IEDs, including car bombs
  • several artillery pieces
  • several training camps
World leaders, if they really believe what they claim about ISIS being the number-one threat to global security, should be ecstatic. But they're not. Instead, we hear NATO Sec.-Gen. Jens Stoltenberg screaming about Russian 'aggression', and calling once more for more NATO troops all along Russia's European border and in Turkey.

America's 'coalition of 60+ countries' have allegedly been bombing ISIS inside Syria for just over a year. Given the contrast with Russian results in just one week, US-led airstrikes have been dismal (to say the least), with 'Islamic State' increasing, not decreasing its control of territory in Syria. What else can we conclude from this but that the US-led airstrikes have helped, not hindered, ISIS?

In retrospect, you really have to wonder about those reports of weapons air-drops 'accidentally' falling into the hands of ISIS terrorists. If we put that down to 'bad luck', then the US-led operation has been a complete failure, something acknowledged by top US military commanders testifying before the US Senate in recent months.

But it's one thing to be 'less than ecstatic', another to be so furious as to attack Russia's efforts to rout ISIS from the moment it got involved. 36 civilian casualties on the first day, they told us, citing the dubious, UK-based 'Syrian Observatory for Human Rights', an outfit run by one man from his 3 bedroom house in Kent, England.

Russian destroyers in the Caspian Sea launch cruise missiles at terrorist targets in Syria, 7th October 2015
On our weekly radio show last Sunday, I commented that the response from the U.S. and its Western allies to Russia's launch of an actual war on terrorism in Syria has been largely silence, deafening silence, a bit like Netanyahu's 'silence spectacle' at the UN recently, only even more deafening. So deafening in fact, that it came full circle and I began to hear something.

At first it was just a mealy-mouthed American-accented, 'Russia is making things worse'. But it quickly grew in strength to announce in a Queen's English accent, "we're bombing ISIS too you know!" And before long it had become a cacophonous coprocopia about Russia "killing innocent civilians in Syria" and, most recently, "dangerously invading the airspace" of our NATO ally Turkey.

Still, it was, and is, all 'sound and fury', because the bottom line is that U.S. has had its 'war on terror' bluff called in spectacular fashion by Russia and there is nothing, and I mean nothing, that the terror masterminds in Washington and Langley can do about it, short of declaring war on Russia.

The only more or less honest statements about Russia's move into Syria from the West have come from the same person, U.S. Air Force Gen. Philip Breedlove, head of U.S. European Command. Speaking on Sept. 28th at a meeting in Berlin of the 'German Marshall Fund' - a US think tank that commemorates the Marshall Plan, an initiative through which the USA gained economic control over most of Western Europe after WW2 - Breedlove said that Russia had installed "very sophisticated air defense capabilities/anti-access area denial" that were not aimed at the Islamic State but "about something else". Of course, "something else" here means "NATO bombs".

SOTT Focus: Behind the Headlines: Russia eclipses the American Empire: A radically different world awaits

Sott Talk Radio logo
99% of the people on this planet have an entirely false understanding of how the world really works and, therefore, they totally misunderstand the true meaning and significance of major events that transpire on the political, social and environmental stages. This misunderstanding is the result of the deliberate dissemination of lies and propaganda by people in positions of power and the mainstream media that propagates these lies and propaganda.

In the two weeks since Russia began bombing ISIS positions in Syria from its airbase in Latakia, the mainstream media, both in the West and in Russia, has crafted a narrative about why this is happening. The Western narrative is that Russia is attempting to support the Assad government. The Russian perspective is that the West has not been effective in defeating the terror group and therefore the Russian military was required to get the job done. While both of these narratives describe basic truths of the situation, the true implications of, and background to Russia's moves in Syria are completely edited out and hidden from the global public record.

Suffice to say that the actions of the Russian government and military over the past few years have massive ramifications for the current world order. It is not an exaggeration to say that the world as we have all know it for 100+ years is on the brink of a profound change. Want to know what that change will involve, and how?
