Serbia: The New Cold War’s Lynchpin in the Balkans
(a cautionary tale of an autocrat running a kleptocracy)
“The US Ambassador to Serbia, Christopher Hill, said that choices must be made in life and that this is such a moment, adding that there is only one path for Serbia, which is the West and the European Union (EU) […] “Serbs should decide that, and I think they have decided that their future is in the West, and not in some undefined East. I’m saying all of this based on what I hear every day from people but also based on the statements by President of (Serbia Aleksandar) Vucic,” said Hill” [1]
[Serbia’s President Aleksandar] “Vučić stated that the latest research showed that for the first time we have a clear majority of citizens who are against joining the EU – 44 percent, while 35 percent support EU accession
“”As the President of the Republic of Serbia, it is our job to hear and understand public opinion, but it is also our job to do what is best for Serbia. My message to everyone is that Serbia is on the road to Europe [he means EU accession] and will continue down that road more strongly”, he said” [2]
A common sense interpretation of the preceding statements would be; USA Ambassador Hill’s “I’m saying all of this based on what I hear every day from people” actually means ‘the people who count’ (i.e. the American controlled personalities in Serbia’s power structure) and President Vucic’s “it is our job to hear and understand public opinion, but it is also our job to do what is best for Serbia” means ‘the will of the Serbian people is in my opinion infantile’ (i.e. ‘Serbia’s father figure’ Vucic knows what’s best for Serbia, more so than most Serbs.)
Insofar as Hill’s ‘people who count’ (excludes the will of the greater Serb population) the CIA’s USAID front [3] presents another character in this geopolitical muppet show:
[Serbia’s] “Minister for EU Integration Jadranka Joksimovic said: “I am convinced that Serbia will progress more and more towards its goal, which is EU membership. In support of this commitment of our country, the development assistance of the United States is extremely important to us. It is concrete, implies more opportunities for employment, learning and following modern trends in the economy, health, social policy, and democratization of society, and is the more important given today’s political and economic environment in Europe and the world”” [4]
Insofar as ‘Father Vucic’ knowing what’s better for his Serbian ‘children’, maybe the kids aren’t so dumb as he thinks:
“The poll showed that 82.1 percent of Serbians do not support sanctions against Russia over the war in Ukraine while just 6.9 percent support sanctions and 11 percent are undecided. According to NSPM, 49 percent said that Russia is in the right, 6.1 percent said Uraine [sic] is right, 24 percent said they have no opinion and 21 percent said no one is to blame. “We asked who was to blame for the conflict in Ukraine and 68.7 percent said NATO, 7.4 percent blamed Ukraine, 5.6 percent blamed Russia and 18 percent have no opinion”” [5]
Serbs know sanctions mean saying ‘adios’ to the exports of cheeses, fruits, and other commodities to Russia.
Do Serbians own and drive Ladas? The Lada Niva is the most popular four wheel drive in Serbia. Other Lada models are used by car rental agencies, the Russian made Lada is everywhere in Serbia and has been for decades. Sanctions will say say bye-bye to Lada spare parts when the junkyard supplies are exhausted. [6]
Lada Niva [Motor1.com]
That’s just the tip of the Serbian domestic nightmare imposing sanctions on Russia would bring. Putin promised Serbia very cheap natural gas and ‘I know best’ father-figure Vucic assured Serbians that these supplies would be secure via pipeline through Bulgaria but the EU (the EU’s Siamese twin NATO, actually) promptly sent Vucic a ‘not so fast’ message; when it pressured Bulgaria (together with other states surrounding Serbia) to close its’ airspace to Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov, preventing his visit to Serbia’s capital, Belgrade. If Bulgaria is not allowed to open its airspace to a Russian diplomat’s travel to Serbia, what are the chances Serbia’s Russian natural gas supplies via Bulgaria are secure? Slim to none. [7], [8]
Then one further wonders what 80%+ opposing sanctions on Russia, and 44% opposed versus 35% in favor of joining the European Union (with the other 25% too beaten down to care) has to do with “Serbia will progress more and more towards its goal, which is EU membership” except for the USA, NATO, & EU ‘kompromat’ (blackmail) demands made of the Serbian kleptocracy; a kleptocracy that is so low it steals the lion’s share of money intended to socially advance disadvantaged women…
“…none of the organizations that received millions from the Ministry of Family Care competition has an official website, nor can anyone find information about the projects they had implemented that relate to the competition’s objectives […] The Ministry of Family Care and Demographics has allocated more than 630,000 euros to these organizations following the competition. In contrast, much less money, about 150,000 euros, has been allocated to associations that are transparent, have an official website and have been dealing with the advancement of women’s position in society for years” [9]
…in circumstance where the USA insists these (in the case of Serbia) anti-democratic demands (pressured to join the EU) must be met, never mind the will of the Serbian people. Clearly it all comes down to ‘kompromat’ and what, how and when the Serbian players in the Russia vs the West tug-of-war (rapidly progressing towards beaten into conformity between NATO’s hammer & the EU anvil) might be exposed.
A general principle of this kleptocracy is for Vucic’s mid-level cadres to be awarded a second job that is salaried by the state but you never have to show up for work:
“Prisic discovered that more than one hundred EPS employees have been receiving salaries [for years] despite never showing up for work” [10]
Other scintillating examples of ‘kompromat’ (blackmail potential) include but are not limited to, Serbian Finance Minister Sinsa Mali, the EU intelligence agencies’ top (upcoming, August 2022) choice for Serbian Prime Minister:
“The paper [intelligence assessment] states that the future prime minister will come from the ranks of the SNS party. Sinisa Mali, the current finance minister and former mayor of Belgrade, is mentioned first as a possible candidate. He is one of Aleksandar Vučić’s closest associates and has been involved in several scandals – from the destruction of the Savamala quarter in Belgrade to allegedly owning 24 apartments in Bulgaria. The University of Belgrade stripped him of his doctorate after it was confirmed that he had plagiarized his thesis” [11]
About the EU intelligence agencies’ favorite pick Sinsa Mali’s role in the illegal destruction of a neighborhood whilst handing off ‘urban renewal’ contracts:
“…a group of about 30 masked men armed with baseball bats knocked down multiple buildings in Belgrade’s riverbank neighborhood, Savamala, using heavy equipment. The brutality of the operation, which allegedly involved residents being tied up and otherwise mistreated, shocked Serbia…” [12]
In short other words, in order to keep onto one’s ill-gotten gains and stay at the top in Serbia, while keeping this sort of story out of ‘mainstream’ news, there is an unwritten EU demand of ‘play ball our way or we will show you the door to some very unpleasant consequence.’
Organized crime ‘playing for keeps’, whether it is the ‘transcendent corruption’ (legalized) organized crime of the European Union, or the more local mob scene, is certainly nothing new when it comes exploiting geopolitical blackmail potential in Serbia, here’s a short profile of Serbia’s Health Minister:
“According to the 2004 testimony of the cooperative witness Dejan Milenković Bagzi (who was an important member of the Zemun Clan) in the Zoran Đinđić trial, in Serbian Special Court for Organised Crime: on 5 September 2002, Belgrade-based Rakovica Clan tried to eliminate the Montenegrin criminal Veselin Božović Vesko, but he survived the assassination and was transferred to the Clinical Centre of Serbia in which at that time worked Lončar. Allegedly, he had good chances to survive and his condition was stable. According to Milenković, head of the criminal group Dušan Spasojević who also had interest of Božović’s death, asked one of his insider doctors Risović to finish him in the hospital, but he was having second thoughts. Later, allegedly, another Spasojević’s insider doctor, Lončar confessed to Spasojević that he gave him lethal injection and Božović died shortly after, on 7 September 2002. For the reward, Spasojević gave him apartment in New Belgrade. Officially, ten days after Božović’s death, Lončar bought the apartment from the wife of Zemun Clan hitman Sretko Kalinić for 30,000 euros only to re-sell it months later. Miladin Suvajdžić, another cooperative witness and former important member of the Zemun Clan, in his 2006 testimony confirmed the story of Milenković; one of the main roles of Suvajdžić was to buy properties, vehicles for various of reasons” [13]
Serbia’s Vucic is easy to expose as a two-faced hypocrite for the simple matter the Serbian people and institutions have not (yet) been entirely cowed, suborned, propagandized or otherwise rendered socially impotent ignoramuses (via social engineering, e.g., World Bank ‘child education’ programs.) Honest Serbs still speak out and know what and who they are talking about.
The other side of that coin is, in the (majority) conservative Serbian nature there is a strong subliminal desire for a wise king, a 1,000 years old yearning in the Serb DNA predating the Ottoman occupation. Today, this yearning is a social-psychological foible milked by Vucic and his minions.
If we survive World War Three, and the USA, NATO & EU ‘democratic principles’ are close to bringing this on, perhaps we’ll be so fortunate as to see this yearning morph into a positive social phenomenon devoid of snake-oil salesmen like Vucic and his associated politics of giving lip service to empire.
Meanwhile, what does Serbia’s President, the ‘father-figure’ Vucic, have to say on the subject of morality?
“Today, perhaps more than ever, the whole world longs for truth and justice. The same justice that is woven into the words of our beautiful national anthem and which still stands as an imperative without which there is no progress for a dignified man or the whole world. I will always fight for such truth and justice, because there is nothing harder, neither more honorable than that” -Aleksandar Vucic [14]
“…there is nothing harder…” for criminals, this is true. Let Vucic’s words come back to haunt him.

Further reading on geopolitical intrigues in Serbia:
“We hold that it is substantially likely that social media companies — even the biggest ones — are private actors whose rights the First Amendment protects” –11th Circuit Court of Appeals: NetChoice, LLC v. Attorney General [1]
This will be succinct. The USA Constitution’s preamble’s first words are “We the People”
“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America”
There is no ‘we the people & the oligarchs, shareholders, one percent’ and whatever future what-have-you entities such as the propaganda arm of USAID underwriting color revolution.
In the governing of political lies, are ‘private’ corporate parties allowed to decide whose & which lies they’ll feed you, and what truths ‘the people’ must be protected from, under the ‘protected’ rubric of free speech? According to the democratic principles of modern empire, given example of failed attempt to penalize political lies, the clear answer is yes:
“The notion that the government, rather than the people, may be the final arbiter of truth in political debate is fundamentally at odds with the [free speech protecting] First Amendment” -Rickert vs the State of Washington [2]
In the aforementioned case, the hypocritical (equal to Huxley’s ‘war is peace’) legalese translated into common sense speech would read: ‘Because it would be too dangerous for the government to motivate truth (allow prosecutions or lawsuits concerning false statements), the voter base should purchase crystal balls to determine whether, how and when they’re being lied to.’
It follows, our judiciary hands this ‘right to lie to the people’ to the non-living-legal-entity called the corporation:
“A corporation is simply a form of organization used by human beings to achieve desired ends. An established body of law specifies the rights and obligations of the people (including shareholders, officers, and employees) who are associated with a corporation in one way or another. When rights, whether constitutional or statutory, are extended to corporations, the purpose is to protect the rights of these people” -Citizens United [3]
Or, in short other words, democracy ‘protects’ the ‘rights’ of, example given, war mongering corporate profiteers to purchase and shape reality via mass media.
We will come back to ‘free speech’, but meanwhile, when & how did this ‘legalized corruption’ usurping our constitution’s ‘the people’ begin? This following, directly related, ‘color of law’ (pretense of constitutional authority) matter of government immunity from suit, has consumed the American constitution from our republic’s inception.
To understand the American founding era argument between the Federalists (lobby for empowered central government) and the anti-Federalists (lobby for dis-empowered central government) was never resolved, rather the Federalists (essentially today’s corporate America) have played dirty ever since, one only need examine the history of the 11th Amendment and the associated, patently fraudulent, idea the USA has rightfully asserted the doctrine of Sovereign Immunity:
“The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State” -11th Amendment to the United States Constitution
In short other words, no person shall be empowered to, for reasons of upcoming example given, sue the state of Georgia via a Federal court in South Carolina. There is nothing more than this in the language of the 11th Amendment. You need to sue Georgia? Initiate the lawsuit against Georgia in Georgia’s state courts. The federal option is taken away. There is nothing else there. Nada. Zip. Zero.
What had happened, is a contractor from South Carolina was owed a Revolutionary War debt by the State of Georgia, which didn’t want to pay up. The Supreme Court had ruled there was no such thing as state sovereign immunity, in the case of Chisholm v Georgia.
“Chisholm v. Georgia, 2 U.S. (2 Dall.) 419 (1793), is considered the first United States Supreme Court case of significance and impact. Since the case was argued prior to the establishment of judicial review by Marbury v. Madison (1803), there was little available legal precedent (particularly in U.S. law). The Court, in a 4-1 decision, ruled in favor of Alexander Chisholm, a citizen of South Carolina, stating that states did not enjoy sovereign immunity from suits made by citizens of other states in federal court” (bold RTW) [4]
Nearly all of the states freaked out at the prospect of having to pay up on their war debts in courts they had no control over (likely motivated from an underlying corrupted jurisdictional issue or matter of ability to influence outcomes) and the 11th Amendment was passed, posthaste, with consequence that should defy belief:
“To this day, Chisholm stands as one of only a handful of Supreme Court rulings that have been overturned by constitutional amendment. Even more important, the Supreme Court has built on the repudiation of Chisholm to hold that the Eleventh Amendment exemplifies a sovereign-immunity principle that sweeps well beyond the amendment’s text” (bold RTW) [5]
No matter the 11th Amendment is narrow & specific to jurisdiction (limits initiating suits against states to the state court system of the state being sued), and doesn’t so much as mention Sovereign Immunity, the legendary English Common Law expert William Blackstone’s Sovereign Immunity doctrine is reinstated in the former colonies:
“The King moreover is not only incapable of doing wrong, but even of thinking wrong; he can never mean to do an improper thing: in him is no folly or weakness.” [6]
Only now, it is no longer the ‘King’ can act with impunity, but the institutions of government in the United States:
“we have understood the Eleventh Amendment to stand not so much for what it says, but for the presupposition of our constitutional structure which it confirms: that the States entered the federal system with their sovereignty intact…” –Blatchford v. Native Village of Noatak (1991), Antonin Scalia writing for the Supreme Court of the United States (bold RTW) [7]
And there you have it, from the early days of the Supreme Court saying sovereignty of the state over citizens (i.e. citizens cannot sue the state, or what became known as sovereign immunity) is a non existent thing in USA constitutional law, to the several states’ legislatures passing the 11th Amendment which doesn’t so much as mention Sovereign Immunity, to escape war debt cases being decided in courts outside the jurisdiction of the state being sued, to the modern Supreme Court stating the language of our constitution’s 11th Amendment absolutely does not mean what it actually says, but instead means what they want it to say, with states (and the USA federal government) consequently able to decide when, how, and even whether they can be sued in matters of manipulating information, political speech, and a plethora of other things; essentially deciding ‘we will extend ‘the King’s prerogative‘ as far as we please, and we will use the 11th Amendment to absurdly assert what amounts to a claim the King’s Sovereign Immunity (impunity) was never a point of the American Revolution.’
This, my friends, is the short of it; the history of ‘legally principled behaviors’ (that’s irony) ultimately leading to ‘color of law’ (a pretense of lawful authority) run amok, supplanting the constitution and now so far removed from the actual ‘original intent’ that, example given, in matters of ‘free speech’, so called ‘equally privileged’ citizens (oligarchs, actually) like Elon Musk (twitter shares acquisition), Bill Gates (foundation) George Soros (foundation) and Mark Zuckerberg (meta) can ‘regulate speech’ (read: buy, produce, reject and/or otherwise disseminate false or undermine true information) as ‘protected’ private corporate entities no matter:
Twitter is a publicly traded, but ‘protected private’ entity (whether Musk takes it private or not), when disseminating and/or deciding which political lies passed off as ‘truths’ should shape entire cultures’ perceptions. Soros ‘Open Society’ foundation can do the same, ditto Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, all empowered to manipulate or shape reality, simply due to the power of their ‘incorporated’ wealth possessing a citizen’s so-called ‘protected constitutional rights’ when it comes to the employ of political lies via mass media. Toss in the military-industrial complex & corporate owned press, add fascist corporate lobbies along the lines of ‘The Federalist Society’, include government social engineering projects (e.g. CIA via USAID) and you see the result; propaganda serving a world-wide havoc threatening World War Three.
‘All men are created equal’ methinks is just another political lie of empire. It is a lie, and can only be a lie, that, or the very idea should expose the lie of American ‘exceptionalism.’ You can’t have it both ways. Moreover, any American with a current passport can read these ‘exceptional’ lies in the visa pages like counting sheep going to sleep.

Had an interesting conversation with Richard Silverstein the other day concerning legitimate comparisons of the Israeli treatment of the Palestinians to the behaviors of the Nazis and relevant censorship. His article “Jerusalem Day = Nuremberg Day” is well worth a read (as well as follow-up article of recent days.) It was 2012 I was banned by the UK’s Guardian for daring to point out Israeli (especially ‘settler’) behavior towards Palestinians resembles a decades ongoing “kristallnacht” or the 1938 German pogrom terrorizing Jews with murders, arson, looting and so on. My admiration is extended to Richard for daring to make a similar comparison. We did NOT discuss this following piece I had written over ten years ago taken down (censored) by Scribd, and Richard cannot be held accountable for anything having to do with my work. But our conversation recalled [to myself] this piece and in my view this work is as relevant today as when first written:
The Enemy of my Enemy
Cognitive Dissonance/Grotesque Reflex: How the philosophy ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend’ makes for ludicrous bedfellows & twisted agenda:
About this absurd religious right ‘the Jews murdered Jesus’ thing .. if that were the case, shouldn’t they rather be grateful for being “Covered in the blood” of Jesus [St Paul quote] as they make money hand over fist covering the planet in blood with war profiteering, all the while in swoon over misogynist hate monger Mel Gibson’s ‘The Passion of the Christ”, the church made myth of a man they love to pretend is ‘God’ incarnate so they can engage in cannibalism every ‘Sabbath’ with a ‘Communion’ of eating Jesus flesh and drinking Jesus blood? Y’know, if people really knew how to think for themselves, there would be no such necrotic fantasies and resultant criminal civilization .. just a thought, but meanwhile:
The paranoid Jewish Zionists embrace rabid anti-Semitic Christian Zionists who fully intend the Jewish Zionists will become extinct one they’ve finished the dirty work of retaking the West Bank for the Christian Zionists necrotic vision of a road to Armageddon, meanwhile the Jewish Zionists label the non-Jewish anti-Zionist as anti-Semitic when in fact most of the non-Jewish anti-Zionists are the bitter foes of the rabid anti-Semitic Christian Zionists momentarily embraced by the Jewish Zionists
Now, in the mix of all of this, the anti-Zionist Jewish personalities are in an impossible state of being forced to play a game of ‘shut the fuck up’ or get blasted by all Zionists, Jewish and Christian, while the non-Jewish anti- Zionist is attacked by the paranoid Ashkenazi, who became paranoid and Zionist, on account of the pogroms of anti- Semitic Christian Zionists. These people bite the hand of people who’re actually doing them a favor by taking on the rabidly anti-Semitic Christian Zionists, personalities who intend as soon as the partnership of convenience is over, all those clinging to Judaism will be tossed into a lake of what will almost certainly amount to man-made nuclear fire
Meanwhile, the Sephardic Jews who’d lived for nearly one and a half thousand years in peace and tranquility in the world of Islam (notably excepting that period when they’d fought on the side of the Muslims during the Crusades) have become an extinct species in the Arab countries, not in the least because of both Jewish and Christian Zionism via policy and settlement in the West Bank and the incredibly nasty treatment of the Arabs there. Israeli Zionists have enabled this social injustice together with American Zionists, including countless conservative Christians, have bankrolled these policies abusing the Palestinians. All this came about because of Jewish Zionist paranoia of living in countries with a majority Christian Zionists and history of pogroms, yet are (for reasons of the social psychology phenomena of inter-generational violence) behaving towards the Arabs like the Christian Zionists had treated them, in turn setting up the present cycle of anti-Palestinian pogroms, based on behaviors Jews learned from Christians, now approaching a scale of nukes & nations
It only gets more ridiculous:
The Sephardic Jews who’d relocated to Israel as a result of fallout in the Arab world from Zionist policies are absolutely 2nd class citizens- pointing to the anti-Semitic tendencies of the conservative Ashkenazi Jews, a race based oxymoron of Jewish anti-Semitism. This is obviously as clear as it is ludicrous and self destructive, when a Jewish person in Israel cannot be equal, because this Jew has the appearance, language and customs of an Arab
I think a moral to this story could be: Any Zionism that is literal Zionism (unlike the benign Zionism of Bob Marley) is a loser. Perhaps this could be the idea behind the UN Resolution equating Zionism with Racism?
Inter-generational hate and violence is a known and understood phenomena of social psychology. Many people have not risen above this malevolent infection of the psyche that is imbued in a very literal sense of the Torah or Pentateuch: ‘the child inherits the sin of the father’ (or the sins of a xenophobic & nationalist stepfather)
In the larger picture of nations, relating to this inter- generational violence, should it not be the responsibility of several national leaders to stand up and state to the Israelis, whether the leaders of Russia, Spain, or (especially) Germany, examples given, ‘do not treat the Palestinian as our Christian has treated the Jew’
If only because it is the responsibility of leadership to demonstrate responsible attitudes in relation to the acts of nations. And crucial, is that nation which had transgressed most egregiously in historic times should demonstrate this courage to again confront the worst of these infantile and irrational behaviors, if only to remind the USA, not only Israel, do not dare to go down this road, do not dare to become the Nazis…
The Israeli ‘nationalist step-father’ (based on the principle of “inter-generational violence”)
“Following the transition from foraging to farming, hierarchical societies and, eventually, tax-levying states have emerged. These states played a crucial role in economic development by providing protection, law and order, which eventually enabled industrialization and the unprecedented welfare enjoyed today in many countries”
Yep. In short other words, rich nations versus poor nations.
“Only where the climate and geography favored cereals, was hierarchy likely to develop. Our data shows that the greater the productivity advantage of cereals over tubers, the greater the likelihood of hierarchy emerging”
The lowly sweet potato, turnip, beet, carrot -these stayed in the ground until time for preparation and consumption- none of which led to the ‘hierarchy’ crucial to the rise of civilization where people like Elon Musk dream of leaving a ‘hierarchical development’ called a trashed Earth behind (with all of its’ poor, doomed schmucks abandoned by the elites once enough stupid people have been sacrificed to sort the technical aspect.) They ‘hope’ for ‘escape’ before the war-mongers weapons sales propping up billionaires bring on World War III (noting if weapons sales were halted tomorrow, the Western economies would collapse.)
“We challenge the conventional productivity theory, contending that it was not an increase in food production that led to complex hierarchies and states, but rather the transition to reliance on appropriable cereal grains that facilitate taxation by the emerging elite. When it became possible to appropriate crops, a taxing elite emerged, and this led to the state”
Yep again. In short other words (again) when the theft of foodstuffs became an option, this enabled the sociopath rise to rule.
“Suitability of highly productive roots and tubers is in fact a curse of plenty, which prevented the emergence of states and impeded economic development”
Right. In effect, this “curse of plenty” amounted to a ‘pre-civilized’ clean environment without means of mass destruction, no oligarchs, no 1%, no world wars, and no need to escape a trashed planet (an escape that is little more than a fantasy in any case.)
“The extension of the empire has meant the growth of private fortunes. This is nothing new, indeed it is in keeping with the most ancient history” -Gaius Asinius Gallus (from Tacitus, The Annals of Imperial Rome)
This open source analysis begins with Italian investigative journalist Gian Micalessin’s interview of the snipers who were present at the 2014 massacre of protestors & police in Kiev’s Maidan square. They were Georgians sent to Ukraine by security services people aligned with American allied-educated Mikhail Saakashvili. American Brian Christopher Boyenger ran the sniper operation on location. CIA owned (via google) youtube makes you sign in (registers your identity) to watch parts one & two. Here is the English translation of the interview with the snipers. The NATO history of septic infection by Nazis begins below that.
After four years from the beginning at November 2013 of Maidan demonstrations, we are able to tell another truth, completely different from the official story. Our story begins towards the end of summer 2017, in Skopye, the capital of Macedonia. There, after long and complex negotiations, we met with Koba Nergadze and Kvarateskelia Zalogy, two Georgian participants and witnesses in the tragic shootings and massacre.
Both Nergadze and Zalogy are linked to former Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili , who started, in August 2008, a short but bloody war with Russia’s Vladimir Putin. Nergadze, as proved by an identification card he holds, was a member of a security service at President Saakashvili’s order. Zalogy is a former Saakashvili party activist.
“I decided to come to Skopije to tell you everything we know, about what happened … and I and my friend have decided together, we need to shed some light on those facts,” Nergadze says.
Nargadze also says Alexander Revazishvilli, [we met] a few months later, a former sniper of the Georgian army, participated in the Maidan shootout. [We] met in another Eastern European country.
All three of our participants say that they were recruited at the end of 2013 by Mamuka Mamulashvili, a Saakashvili military advisor who, after the Maidan action, will move to the Donbass, to lead the so-called Georgian Legion in clashes with ethnic Russian insurgents.
“The first meeting was with Mamulashvili [was] at the office of the National Movement,” Zalogy said. “The Ukrainian uprising in 2013 was similar to the” Pink Revolution “that took place in Georgia years before. We had to direct and guide it using the same pattern used for the “Pink Revolution”
Alexander’s version is no different. “Mamuka first asked me if I was really a trained sniper, Alexander recalls, [then] he immediately told me he needed me in Kiev to pick some places.”
Our informants integrated to various groups of volunteers between November 2013 and January 2014, [after] receiving passports with false names, and money advances.
“We left on January 15, and on the plane, Zalogy remembers, I received my passport and another [passport] with my photo but with different name and surname. Then they gave us each a thousand dollars to begin, promising to give another five thousand more“
Once in Kiev, our three participants begin to understand better why they were recruited. “Our task, Alexander explains, was to arrange provocations to push the police to charge the crowd. Until the middle of February, however, there were not many weapons around. The Molotovs, the shields and the sticks were used to the maximum.”
But in mid-February, clashes around Maidan begin to get worse. “About 15 and 16 February,” Nergadze remembers, “the situation has begun to become more serious every day. It was out of control now. And in the meantime, the first shots were heard. “With the rising of tensions, new players [would] come into play”
“One day around February 15, remembers Alexander, Mamualashvili personally visited our tent. There was another guy in his uniform with him. He introduced him and told us he was an instructor, an American soldier.” The US military veteran Brian Christopher Boyenger, is a former officer and sniper for the 101st Airborne Division. After Maidan, [Boyenger] moves on to the Donbass front, where he will fight in the ranks of the Georgian Legion alongside Mamulashvili.
“We were always in touch with this Bryan, Nergadze explains, he was a Mamulashvili man. It was he who gave us the orders. I had to follow all his instructions“
The first suspects in the possession of firearms among the ranks of demonstrators, involve Serghey Pashinsky, a leader of Maidan Square, who became, after the fall of Yanukovych, chairman of the Kiev parliament.
On February 18, in a video made that day, a rifle locked in a car was recorded with video taken by a demonstrator, showing an automatic rifle. A few seconds after, Pashinsky approaches and orders the car be allowed to go. The next day, weapons were distributed to groups of Georgian and Lithuanian mercenaries residing in Hotel Ukraine, the hotel overlooking the square used as a headquarters by opposition.
“In those days, Pashinsky and three other people, including Parasyuk, had taken the weapons handbags to the hotel. They were going to get them into my room,” Nergadze says.
Volodymyr Parasyuk is one of the leaders of the Maidan Square protest. After the massacre of demonstrators, he will become famous for an ultimatum in which he will threaten to use weapons to hunt President Viktor Yanukovych.
“On February 18, recalls Zalogy, someone took some weapons to my room. In the room with me there were two Lithuanians, the weapons were unpacked by them.”
“In each bag, recalls Nergadze, there were Makarov’s pistols, Akm automatics, carbines. And there were packages of cartridges. When I first saw them I did not understand …. When Mamulashvili arrived, I also asked him. “What’s going on,” I told him, “what are these weapons? Is everything all right?
“Koba, things are getting complicated, we have to start shooting,” he replied, “we can not go to the pre-election presidential elections …” “But who should we shoot? And where? “I asked him.” He replied that where he did not care, we had to shoot somewhere … to sow some chaos.“
“While Nergadze and Zalogy assisted in arms distribution at the hotel, Alexander Revazishvilli and other volunteers went to the Conservatory, another building overlooking the square. “It was February 16th … Pashinsky ordered us to collect our belongings and bring them in … Other people arrived, they were almost all masked.
“From their cases I understood … they carried weapons …. They pulled them out and handed them over to the various groups. Only Pashinsky was talking … “He was giving orders. He asked me where we were supposed to shoot. ” “In the meantime, explained Nergadze, even at the Ukraine hotel, the leaders of the revolt underlined the purpose of using the weapons.
“They explained to us to shoot to create chaos and confusion. We did not have to stop. It did not matter if we fired at a tree, a barricade, or a molotov. The important thing was to sow chaos. ”
On the 20th, in the morning, the plan came into action. “It was supposed to be dawn,” Zalogy remembers, “when I heard the sound of the shots … they were not bursts, they were single strokes … came from the next room. At that same time, the Lithuanians opened the window. One of them fired one shot while the other closed the window. They have fired three or four times everywhere.”
Alexander, admitting he was involved in the shootout from the Conservatory building, claims to have understood very little. “Everyone started shooting two or three shots at a time. We did not have much choice. We were ordered to shoot both the Berkut, the police, and the demonstrators, no matter what. I was totally outraged. It went on for fifteen minutes … maybe twenty. I was out of my mind, agitated, under stress, I did not understand anything. Then suddenly, after 15, 20 minutes the shooting ceased and everyone has put down the weapons. ”
As wounded and dead arrived in the Ukrainian Hotel’s reception, the snipers fled from the rooms. And so the victims found themselves next to their assassins.
“Inside, recalls Nergadze, “there was chaos, you did not understand who was who. People ran back and forth. Someone was hurt … someone was armed. Outside was even worse. There were so many injured in the streets. And the many dead.”
Alexander says he left in a hurry. “Someone was shouting that there were snipers, I knew what they were talking about,” he said, “my only thought was to disappear before they knew about me. Otherwise, they had me. At that time, however, I did not realize, but now I understand. I do understand. We’ve been used. Used and discarded.”
Note: Polish European Member of Parliament, Janusz Korwin-Mikke, independently confirms CIA trained snipers presence at Maidan:
Tidings Article Headline: Korwin-Mikke: snajperzy z Majdanu byli szkoleni w Polsce [translates Korwin-Mikke: snipers at Maidan were trained in Poland]

Tidings Magazine: “Pan jest zwolennikiem tezy, że to była operacja CIA?” [Your thesis is this was a CIA Operation?]
Korwin-Mikke: “Majdan to była również nasza operacja. Snajperzy byli szkoleni także w Polsce” [Maidan was also our operation. The snipers were trained in Poland.]
Where It All Begins
Who are the nazi-American shadow government players? We begin with looking into what Mark Gorton calls “The Enterprise”…
“The tools of the cabal include domestic [and foreign] death squads, political prisoners, Orwellian control of the media, domestic spying and domestic (and international) terrorist attacks. The cabal has partnered with some of the worst people on earth including, Nazis, drug dealers, terrorists, the mafia, cults, mass murderers, child molesters and pedophiles”
…and comparing it to what Jeff Sharlet describes as ongoing in “The Family”…
“One needn’t be a Marxist to find fault with the Family’s mash-up of New Testament and unfettered capitalism — Adam Smith himself would have recognized that theology as a disingenuous form of self-interest by proxy. Such interests have led the Family into some strange alliances over the years. Seduced by the Indonesian dictator Suharto’s militant anti-communism, they described the murder of hundreds of thousands that brought him to power as a “spiritual revolution,” and sent delegations of congressmen and oil executives to pray to Jesus with the Muslim leader. In Africa, they anointed the Somali killer Siad Barre as God’s man and sent Sen. Grassley and a defense contractor as emissaries. Barre described himself as a “Koranic Marxist,” but he agreed to pray to Grassley’s American Christ in return for American military aid, which he then used to wreak a biblical terror on his nation. It has not yet recovered”
…followed on with with a comparison to Wayne Madsen’s research…
“By 1957, ICL [International Christian Leadership, a ‘Family’ corporate euphemism or front] had established 125 groups in 100 cities, with 16 groups in Washington, DC alone. Around the world, it had set up another 125 groups in Canada, Britain, Germany, France, Northern Ireland, Netherlands, Belgium, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Switzerland, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, Ethiopia (where Emperor Haile Selassie gave ICL property in Addis Ababa to build its African headquarters), India, South Vietnam, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, Guatemala, Cuba, Costa Rica, Mexico, and Bermuda. ICL’s international activities coincided with activities in countries where the CIA was particularly active – an obvious by-product of the close cooperation between [founder Abraham] Vereide and the CIA’s Allen Dulles and James Jesus Angleton. Angleton and his close associate, Miles Copeland, favored using private businessmen to conduct operations that the CIA was barred from conducting statutorily [lawfully.] The ICL fit the bill very nicely”
…these preceding are clearly the same organization. Whether you call them affiliates or fronts, the ‘Enterprise’, The International Christian Leadership (ICL), The Navigators (farther on, keep reading) and The Family amount to a single talent pool from which cells (‘Enterprise/Secret Team’) are built, along the line of intelligence agency organizations. Former CIA Director GHW Bush, although it did not originate with him, was at the nexus of welding this pseudo religious crime organization into the USA government over decades, where it has consequently spread throughout the NATO hierarchy (and elsewhere) via the USA military. This is what former Pentagon liaison to the CIA, L Fletcher Prouty, was writing about 50 years ago with his description of ‘The Secret Team’
“For all its fabrication and apparent unreality, especially in this open society, the ST [Secret Team] machine does have a central soul or brain… or perhaps… holy spirit. It is the evidence of a form of new religion. It has its secrets. It has its divine and unquestioned rights and obligations. It has self-righteous power over life and death. It does not believe in anything. It does not value anything. It is utterly ruthless”
When George H.W. Bush had become the ‘clandestine operations’ executive officer (replaced Allen Dulles), it was Vereide’s heir, Doug Coe, had become the ‘theocracy’ co-captain (with Richard Halverson) who delegated authority and ‘blessed’ GHW Bush into the driver seat not long after the death of Abraham Vereide (d.1969.) Preceding Bush having consolidated control over the ‘executive action’ arm in 1970 (with Coe’s ‘blessing’, like a mafia godfather) Allen Dulles (d.1969) had been the previous undisputed clandestine operations ‘executive officer’ of this ‘Christian mafia.’ Dulles had been a WWI military intelligence officer, a Nazi sympathizing traitor throughout WWII, ran the CIA over the majority of the Opus Dei (Vatican) ‘rat line’ years (cooperating with Opus Dei rescuing Nazi war criminals from justice) and was ultimately responsible for subverting the CIA, the operations sector particularly, into a tool of ‘The Family’ which had itself been organized into cells on intelligence agency model.
“A lot of their key men in a country would be the intelligence officers in the American embassy. Throughout their correspondence, that’s the kind of guy they would like to have involved. They always had a lot of Army intelligence guys involved, Pentagon guys”
Via the Department of State, and its Siamese twin the Central Intelligence Agency, and Pentagon officers in NATO and military attache assignments to embassies, over 70+ years, this septic infection has spread throughout the Western world and beyond.
On The American Domestic Front
[Trump mentor Roy] “Cohn’s job was to run the little boys. Say you had an admiral, a general, a congressman, who did not want to go along with the program. Cohn’s job was to set them up, then they would go along”
Now, to the Epstein issue. Almost no one knows the intelligence agencies have a designer drug that both; breaks down the will and super-enhances sexual acts via a distorted sense of time (not only heightened sensuality.) Most blackmail targets who’d been unwittingly drugged wouldn’t care in the moment of sex with underage kids provided to them, even if they knew they were being recorded. Think Homer’s Odyssey and the sirens where Odysseus was tied to the mast of his ship and his crews’ ears plugged with beeswax. Only the USA’s ship of state (and ultimately, the NATO nations and more) had no captain the equal of Odysseus and no beeswax for its crew. The only question (in my thinking) is who has recordings of who.
“he asked a young man who’d put himself, body and soul, under the Family’s authority, “Let’s say I hear you raped three little girls. What would I think of you?” The man guessed that Coe would probably think that he was a monster. “No,” answered Coe, “I wouldn’t.” Why? Because, as a member of the Family, he’s among what Family leaders refer to as the “new chosen.” If you’re chosen, the normal rules don’t apply”
Just suppose ‘the family’ were an embedded phenomena in the several NATO nations’ intelligence agencies, this next (former spook) may have come close but didn’t win a cigar (it’s not only Mossad, his own CIA has the longer history and a track record of illegally compromising Americans; not to mention its complicity in GLADIO)
“Selective inquiries into wrongdoing to include intense finger pointing are the name of the game in Washington, and the affaire Epstein also has all the hallmarks of a major espionage case, possibly tied to Israel. Unless Epstein is an extremely sick pedophile who enjoys watching films of other men screwing twelve-year-old girls the whole filming procedure smacks of a sophisticated intelligence service compiling material to blackmail prominent politicians and other public figures. Those blackmailed would undoubtedly in most cases cooperate with the foreign government involved to avoid a major scandal. It is called recruiting “agents of influence.” That is how intelligence agencies work and it is what they do”
Meanwhile, over at the Pentagon…
“Due to DCIS [Defense Criminal Investigative Service] headquarters’ direction and other DCIS investigative priorities, this investigation is cancelled”
The upshot? After A FURTHER DECADE of inaction, it is LITERALLY taking a proposed Act of Congress to attempt shutting the Department of Defense child porn network down:
“The END Network Abuse Act would require the Pentagon to enter into agreements with groups including law enforcement, child protection services, social services, and trauma-informed healthcare providers in order to cut down or halt the spread and impact of these images on DOD networks. The bill would also upgrade the training and technical expertise of the military organizations involved in investigating these types of crimes.
“The National Criminal Justice Training Center, one of the groups that has thrown its weight behind the bill, reported in 2018 that DOD’s network was ranked 19th out of almost 3,000 nationwide networks on the amount of peer-to-peer child pornography sharing”
So, another big question: How is it our “Christian Taliban” coordinating with a suddenly ‘out of the closet’ (CIA paramilitary operations) dominionist cast at CIA…
“Weinstein told TYT his group has received complaints from CIA personnel about Pompeo’s introduction of overtly religious behavior into the workplace, including Rapture references. “He is intolerant of anyone who isn’t a fundamentalist Christian,” Weinstein said. “The people that worked under him at the CIA that came to us were never confused—they never had time to be confused. They were shocked and then they were scared shitless””
…are rubbing shoulders with a bunch of little kid f**kers at the Pentagon in their special operations joint efforts, you know, all of that super Christian (Gott Mit Uns) culture represented in the USA military forces “Officers Christian Fellowship” and their Pentagon prayer groups in an organization professing…
“… create a spiritually transformed U.S. military with Ambassadors for Christ in uniform empowered by the Holy Spirit …”
…and multiple coordinated intelligence agencies (Defense Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, Central Intelligence Agency) with all of their professional ‘penetration’ capacities can’t clean this shit up?
Huh. Maybe there’s something to the adage “Nothing fails like prayer.” Certainly the balls to stand up this seem to be altogether AWOL or the ethics & morality at the Pentagon (especially) is in a state of DESERTION and praying ‘Oh Jesus, save us’ is not going to cut the evil out.
The NSA is run by the Department of Defense, as well the Pentagon owning the Defense Intelligence Agency, together with any idea the Department of Defense cannot solve this problem with exposure of the criminal element, is patently absurd. Nothing short of complicity at the top could keep the little kid f**k circus in business. Who is compromised at the top? Well, it goes to the top on both ‘parties’ part.
“Doug Coe is a unique presence in Washington: a genuinely loving spiritual mentor and guide to anyone, regardless of party or faith, who wants to deepen his or her relationship with God” –Hillary Clinton
“You know Jesus said ‘You got to put Him before mother-father-brother sister? Hitler, Lenin, Mao, that’s what they taught the kids. Mao [“Gang of Four” actually] even had the kids killing their own mother and father. But it wasn’t murder. It was for building the new nation. The new kingdom” –Doug Coe
Who was Doug Coe? (d. February 2017.) The spiritual guru of not only Hillary but also MIKE PENCE. It was Mike Pence attended the meeting where Donald Trump was introduced to Doug Coe
“Every president since Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1953 has spoken at the breakfast, a point made at the meeting to Trump by the evangelical lay minister Douglas Coe, a leader in The Fellowship religious organization, according to Coons. Also attending the meeting with Trump was Boozman, Vice President-elect Mike Pence, and several of Trump’s faith advisers”
Here is Doug Coe in his own words, the spitting cobra speaks for himself:
Beginning at minute 5:30 of the above video:
“Jesus said you have to put me before other people. And you have to put me before yourself. Hitler, that was a demand to be in the Nazi Party. You have to put the Nazi Party and its objectives ahead of your own life, and ahead of other people”
Coe goes on to say:
“I’ve seen pictures of the young men in the Red Guard… They would bring in this young man’s mother. He would take an axe and cut her head off. They have to put the purposes of the Red Guard ahead of their father, mother, brother, sister, and their own life. That was a covenant. A pledge. That’s what Jesus said”
And then:
“If you’re going to have any movement that moves men and nations, you have to have that kind of commitment”
Yep. Pence and Hillary’s guru stated you need make a commitment to following the principles, and emulating the behaviors of, some of history’s more infamous mass murderers, to move their ‘Christian’ agenda forward. If you keep listening, it doesn’t get any better.
Who are the ‘Navigators’ Pence’s long time spiritual guru had been addressing? An elite right-wing (actually Nazi) international Christian proselytizing organization with a 100 million dollar (+) annual budget. Probably it should come as no surprise the Navigator organization Coe preached to has for its registered symbol a neo-Nazi cross that also features in the Klu Klux Klan decor kit:
“Each part of The Wheel® Illustration represents a crucially important component of a vibrant Christian life”
Compared to the contemporary neo-nazi decor at duck-duck-go:
Is Zelensky a case of the ‘Anti-Semites Who Loved Jews…And the Jews Who (Sometimes) Loved Them Back’ ?
Maybe. Historically speaking, there’s nothing unique in Zelensky’s relationship to Ukraine’s fascists and in this case the bad marriage is just another cell of an exclusive ‘serial-killers only’ swingers’ club where everybody is tired of the limited opportunity at couplings, yet their sex (murder) addiction requires everyone screwing everyone out of habit and everyone hates everyone’s guts. At some point, this ever-expanding (NATO) crew will resort to new mass murders, such as the ongoing false-flag massacre in Ukraine’s Mariupol, consistent with an American ‘Monroe Doctrine’ past:
“These cells operated, as many of the Family’s projects do, through God – “the Catholic generals and colonels who rotated coup by coup through the leadership of Brazil, Guatemala, El Salvador … consented to the Protestant ministrations of the Fellowship in return for access to American congressmen”
Now, to the present day Catholic Church Nazis the theologian David Berger had blown the whistle on:
“Hitler was praised for having interned and murdered homosexuals in concentration camps
“the Vatican is .. relying increasingly on reactionary troops. It is closing ranks with evangelists, bible fundamentals and extremely reactionary forces”
This last, preceding quote, bring us to Mario Bergoglio’s meeting with Doug Coe:
At the end of the day, Nazi-pedophilia enabled blackmail seems evident in every direction; ‘The Family’ (in association with the Church at Rome) will have opportunity through the Catholic church, particularly via the ‘Eastern Rite’ Catholics of Western Ukraine’s Galicia.
Dominionism’s Fingers in Kiev
There is a very interesting blurb from the official White House website:
“our office launched the first-ever Interagency Working Group on Religion and Global Affairs (RGA), co-chaired by the [White House] Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships and the White House National Security Staff. This groundbreaking working developed a comprehensive map of how our government currently engages religious actors in foreign affairs through USAID Missions, Embassies, and Departments across government from the Department of Defense to the Department of Health and Human Services”
This is a pretty blanket admission religion plays a role throughout the USA government, despite the American foundational law erecting ‘a wall of separation between church and state.’ It is no news to me the White House (and American government generally) trashes this principle of law, and that is not the particular focus of today’s ‘revelation.’ Let’s narrow the preceding quote:
“co-chaired by the [White House] Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships and the White House National Security Staff”
Ok, so now we’ve reduced this to a White House endeavor or effort on behalf of ‘religion’ and ‘national security.’ Never mind just how creepy that sounds, when contrasted to religion in history from ancient to modern time, the associated role of empires, and the countless dead in too many wars to count. Rather lets look at another aspect of the quote in relation to modern USA foreign policy:
“a comprehensive map of how our government currently engages religious actors in foreign affairs through USAID Missions, Embassies, and Departments across government”
Particularly noting ‘engages religious actors’ & ‘USAID’ & ‘Embassies’, and noting the ’embassies’ recalls the fact of Department of State is a CIA Siamese twin, and USAID is a CIA cover program, one need not wonder for long how it came to be Voice of America (CIA radio) notes Ukrainian Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk of the Greek Catholic Church was in attendance at a so-called ‘National Prayer Breakfast’…
“It was a great possibility, not only to represent Ukraine, but also make connections, meet people and transmit truth about Ukraine and the situation in Ukraine”
As previously noted in my article ‘Victoria Nuland’s Wedding with Christian al-Qaida‘, the Voice of America (CIA) states the so-called ‘National Prayer Breakfast’ attended by the Arch Bishop Major of Kiev is sponsored by ‘The Family’ or that is the ‘Christian Dominion’ element which has penetrated every aspect of American government. The three pillars of the Christian Dominion movement in the USA are:
Dominionists celebrate Christian nationalism, in that they believe the United States once was, and should again be, a Christian nation. In this way, they deny the Enlightenment roots of American democracy.
Dominionists promote religious supremacy, insofar as they generally do not respect the equality of other religions, or even other versions of Christianity.
Dominionists endorse theocratic visions, believing that the Ten Commandments, or “biblical law,” should be the foundation of American law, and that the U.S. Constitution should be seen as a vehicle for implementing Biblical principles.
And again to Ukraine and Ukrainian Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk of the GREEK CATHOLIC CHURCH at Kiev:
2 June 2014“The head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Patriarch Sviatoslav Shevchuk and head of the [schismatic, unrecognized by larger Orthodoxy] Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Kyiv Patriarchate) as well as government representatives and opposition leaders will attend today the [Family] National Prayer Breakfast, a traditional event held in Washington”
Answers to Rome
The Pope at Rome considers all Christians, regardless of denomination, to be in communion with the Catholic church, no matter how ‘imperfect.’ The Orthodox church does not, however, recognize the Pope’s authority. Roman Catholicism is dominionist by deed and history to present time, example of present day dominionism in Spain, similar to ‘The Family’ is given:
“As an organization of Catholics – half-monks, half-soldiers – they seek to sanctify themselves through political struggle and their goal is to gain power. It’s a hierarchical structure governed by the motto “He who obeys does not go astray.” They overlap with the Church, invoking the bishops and the pope with an ethical, Christian discourse and with right-wing political and media organizations”
And:
“the Anvil is made up of airtight cells, to make effective the following rule: “Know no more than what is strictly necessary.” He claims to have no clue how many members there are, but says there are national and international leaders. “Our enemies were masonry, the gay movement, feminism, de facto unions, abortion, Marxism, and of course, Zionism””
What does the Roman church authority have to say about this?
“Cardinal Antonio Cañizares, the former archbishop of Toledo and current prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, based in the Vatican [stated] “They’re not called the Anvil any more; now they go by the Association for the Common Good and I think they are offering great services to society””
The major differences between the Catholic and Orthodox are more than cosmetic, the church at Rome is a strict hierarchy with a dominionist theology founded in neo-Platonic thought. The Orthodox church theology is, by contrast, rooted in mystic asceticism. Catholicism is aggressive in comparison to the Orthodox, and particularly aggressive towards the Russian Orthodox Church:
“After the breakdown of the Soviet Union” [a spokesman for the Russian Patriarch said] “a great number of people in the Roman Catholic Church decided that was the moment when it was possible to conquer these big territories and huge populations of the countries of the former Soviet Union”
Ukrainian Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk of the Greek Catholic Church, it must be noted, is a stealth Roman Catholic, having trained at Rome in the Roman doctrine of Thomas Aquinas’ neo-Platonic theology, anathema to the Orthodox Rite he purportedly represents as an Eastern Rite or so-called ‘Greek Catholic’ (with allegiance to the Pope.)
The Church at Rome aligned Greek Catholic minority (6%) he represents in Ukraine, makes his elevation into American foreign policy circles (under the guise of a ‘religious’ event) all out of proportion to the Ukrainian mainstream Orthodox (Moscow Patriarchate), but this begins to make sense when one looks at the larger picture coming into focus with the USA dominionist agenda in concert with recent USA policy promoted in Ukraine. In fact the USA putsch installed ‘interim’ prime minister, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, is a right wing Greek Catholic, in league with the neo-nazi Svoboda party which held five ministries in his new [2014] putsch regime.
So, who is using who here? Is the Roman Catholic church using the dominionists in the USA or are the USA ‘Family’ dominionists using the Roman Catholic church? The plain answer is both. It is a joint effort in Ukraine.
This analysis points to church-state intrigue of a sort you’d expect in medieval Europe. It would appear some habits never die…
Germany’s Role
3rd Reich monument at Lindau (Bodensee)
denazification |dēˌnätsəfiˈkāSHən| noun: the process of bringing the leaders of the National Socialist regime in Germany to justice and of purging all elements of Nazism from public life.
Denazification didn’t actually happen in Germany folks, I took the photo of the Third Reich eagle (NAZI monument) at Lindau myself, in 2008. Germany still harbors deep NAZI sentiment widely, particularly in the south. Many Nazi criminals were quietly reintegrated to German society and lived out life unpunished with rationale such as:
“the West German Supreme Court overturned the judgment .. saying Rehse and other judges of the [NAZI] People’s Court had only been abiding by the laws of the time”
“The Americans and the British turned over the denazification program to the Germans, who made a mockery of it by electing or appointing some Nazis back into power”
It is only recently, with the most serious offenders dead of old age, a few lowly camp guards have been prosecuted in what amounts to a token expression of social responsibility. Insofar as Angela Merkel’s government had been years in coalition with (Scholz’s) Social Democrats, together with her Christian Democrats and their ideologically aligned Christian Social Union, this points to a wider tolerance of the German past than could even be imagined only a short time ago. But first:
On 24 March 2014, in Ukraine, Oleksandr Muzychko, neo-nazi leader of the ‘Right Sector’, was assassinated by interior ministry elite special operations police of the new regime in Kiev. He was without doubt a nasty man, a killer, criminal and terrorist. And because he was incredibly stupid, he also died a ‘patsy’ or that is a used and discarded stooge.
Oleksandr Muzychko
This man led the skinheads who provided the ‘muscle’ behind the violence that brought the new regime to power in Kiev. Now, his CIA supported putsch having been accomplished, he became an embarrassment. Can’t have people running around openly proclaiming a NAZI agenda. Muzychko, having been used to provide a service, was then shot dead in a demonstration of the new regime asserting ‘law and order.’ The Western media spin will be all about tamping down on the criminal NAZI element in the Kiev uprising and all the USA’s sheep will sleep better at night, knowing NATO & ‘friends’ aren’t doing business with NAZIs (and couldn’t be more misled.)
It is beyond question the USA’s intelligence (CIA, primarily), having utilized Muzychko to optimal putsch effect prior to demanded he be eliminated (the more likely story) for appearance sake. In today’s game, you cannot be openly Nazi, you have to conceal the fact in order to qualify for support from the western democracies leaders. But in fact a neo-nazi party, Svoboda, held five ministries in the putsch regime at Kiev, putting down the ‘Right Sector’ was a smokescreen. Check this out:
“One of the “Big Three” political parties behind the protests is the ultra-nationalist Svoboda, whose leader, Oleh Tyahnybok, has called for the liberation of his country from the “Muscovite-Jewish mafia.” After the 2010 conviction of the Nazi death camp guard John Demjanjuk for his supporting role in the death of nearly 30,000 people at the Sobibor camp, Tyahnybok rushed to Germany to declare him a hero who was “fighting for truth.” In the Ukrainian parliament, where Svoboda holds an unprecedented 37 seats, Tyahnybok’s [Svoboda’s] deputy [member of parliament] Yuriy Mykhalchyshyn is fond of quoting Joseph Goebbels – he has even founded a think tank originally called “the Joseph Goebbels Political Research Center””
Kind of puts this next photo in perspective:
Far-fetched? Perhaps not
Can anyone explain how Merkel (and Scholz) would not have known this following?
“The European Parliament in 2012 condemned Svoboda’s racism, anti-Semitism and xenophobia as “against the EU’s fundamental values and principles”
Especially considering
“In [the 2011] commemoration of the 1918 Battle of Kruty, Svoboda, accompanied by a substantial number of so-called autonomous nationalists, organized a huge torchlight parade, rife with Nazi symbolism.
“On April 28, 2011, Svoboda celebrated the 68th anniversary of the establishment of the Waffen-SS Galizien. Octogenarian Waffen-SS veterans were treated as heroes in a mass rally, organized by Svoboda and the “autonomous nationalists”” -quoting ‘The Return of the Ukrainian Far Right’ by Swedish academic Per Anders Rudling (2013)
I hold Germany responsible for the Nazis put in power in Kiev, not the USA. Why? Historic responsibility, plain and simple. Scholz has a historic responsibility to call out the the facts of a Nazi regime in Kiev and refuse on principle to do business with killers laundered into power by the CIA (and their lackey BND.) If a German leader had the personal courage to do this, it would stop the nonsense in its tracks and we’d have a whole new geo-political game. But in fact German politicians are cowards (or worse.)
“the Ukrainian right wing has also received instruction financed by German taxpayers. [Svoboda] Party members appeared at events hosted by the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, the German political foundation affiliated with Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservatives. Examples include the conference entitled “Lessons from the 2012 Parliamentary Elections,” the seminar series called “The Higher School of Politics” and a discussion on the 2012 elections”
Svoboda party leader Oleh Tyahnybok
Without a doubt, despite CIA media laundering, German intelligence certainly knows the facts about Svoboda, and nothing is done. I wonder what that has to with the preceding noted article going on to mention…
“[Svoboda] Party members appeared at events hosted by the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, the German political foundation affiliated with Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservatives”
… considering who have been the German interior ministers of the past decade, responsible for domestic intelligence. All have been appointments from the German right. You think these Merkel Christian Democrat, and their affiliated Christian Social Union political appointments, didn’t know the Merkel aligned Adenauer foundation is associating with and sponsoring NAZIs? Recall today’s Chancellor Scholz had been in a ‘Grand Coalition’ partnership with these people, for years.
“Adenauer’s determination to integrate the right-wing nationalists who supported the Nazis into the CDU and thus into an acceptance of democracy explains much of the apparent paradox between his dislike of National Socialism and his willingess to accept men who had been very active in supporting the National Socialist dictatorship”
What’s more is, Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) or Federal Intelligence Service (Germany) reports directly to Germany’s chancellor. This German counterpart to the CIA had been midwifed into existence by the USA’s rescue of the Nazi regime’s intelligence at the end of World War Two. Initially organized by the OSS and subsequently CIA as the ‘Gehlen Organization’ under Hitler’s veteran Eastern front spymaster (Nazi war criminal) Reinhard Gehlen, the BND came into existence when the “Gehlen Organization”, staffed with Nazi intelligence & SS veterans, as well as more than 100 former Gestapo officers, was transferred by the USA to the Federal Republic of Germany (then so-called ‘West Germany’) to be under the authority of Chancellor Konrad Adenauer. And so it was Hitler’s top anti-Russian intelligence talent became Germany’s post-war CIA. One can only imagine Reinhard Gehlen’s smirk when he’d stated his organization employed a lower percentage of former SS & Gestapo than most ministries in Adenauer’s Federal Republic of Germany government
Following on this historical political fantasy of a leopard shedding its spots in post-war Germany, of these recent interior ministers, Hans-Peter Friedrich & Horst Seehofer are from the Christian Social Union’s ‘unreconstructed south’ of Germany, de Maizière & Schäuble are from Adenauer’s Nazi integrated Christian Democrats (Merkel’s CDU.)
Wolfgang Schäuble, 22 November 2005 to 28 October 2009
Thomas de Maizière, 28 October 2009 to 3 March 2011
Hans-Peter Friedrich, 3 March 2011 to 17 December 2013 (boss when files likely incriminating the German police relationship to neo-nazis were shredded)
Thomas de Maizière, 17 December 2013 to 14 March 2018
“Arrested by the Canadian Army in 1945 Alfried Krupp was tried as a war criminal at Nuremberg. He was accused of plundering occupied territories and being responsible for the barbaric treatment of prisoners of war and concentration camp inmates. Documents showed that Krupp initiated the request for slave labour and signed detailed contracts with the SS, giving them responsibility for inflicting punishment on the workers.
“Krupp was eventually found guilty of being a major war criminal and sentenced to twelve years in prison and had all his wealth and property confiscated.
“On 5th December, 1950, Adenauer wrote .. a letter urging clemency for Krupp.
“In January, 1951, [it was] announced that Alfried Krupp and eight members of his board of directors who had been convicted with him, were to be released. His property, valued at around 45 million, and his numerous companies were also restored to him” (45 million in 1951 is 410 million 2014, adjusted for inflation)
Denial aside, Adenauer’s Nazis reintegrated to the politics post-war Germany, could explain a lot about Germany’s strongly supportive relationship with the Nazi regime in Kiev, you think?
Meanwhile, In Nazi Germany’s ‘Neu Ostland’
Lithuania:
“Vilnius: Lithuania on Thursday accused Russia of a military [2014] “invasion” of conflict-torn Ukraine and called for a United Nations Security Council meeting over the issue.
“Lithuania strongly condemns the obvious invasion of the territory of Ukraine by the armed forces of the Russian Federation,” the foreign ministry said, adding that the Security Council should address the matter “immediately””
Never mind the CIA, with the complicity of Germany, overthrew an elected government in Ukraine and has supported a post-coup neo-nazi regime in Kiev.
Neo-Nazis march in Lithuania, February 16, 2013 (Dovid Katz photo, Times of Israel)
^ “one of the “heroes” of the marchers whose portrait appeared on a large banner was Juozas Ambrazevicius, the Prime Minister of the Provisional Lithuanian government of June 1941, which fully supported the Third Reich […] in May 2012, his remains were brought back to Lithuania and buried in Kaunas with full national honors, despite his despicable role in Holocaust crimes”
Latvia:
“Four Latvian MPs (E. Cilinskis, J. Dombrava, R. Dzintars, I. Parādnieks) attended the Waffen SS fest giving it, in 2014, a flavor of state approval taken in tandem with the gifting of the city center and Liberty Monument area”
Screenshot of the Latvian National-Socialist Party glorifying this annual festival taken down at youtube:
(^ fine print: notice Baltic Nazi sympathies are in line with the Ukrainian Svoboda Party & Right Sector the Russians are taking issue with, Nazis having taken power in Kiev with ample assistance from an ever more aggressive & expanding NATO.)
Estonia:
“Russia has been destabilising Ukraine for too long. By now, terrorists acting in Eastern Ukraine have received added reinforcements in the form of Russian military forces that can clearly be recognised. This is undeclared war”
Sure, it actually is undeclared war, a war began by NATO and the EU undermining Ukraine, empowering neo-nazis, while crapping on its promise to Russia not to expand NATO when the Russians agreed to dismantle the Soviet Union. And speaking of terrorists in Eastern Ukraine, what do you suppose that might have to do with the coup supporters murdering people en mass on multiple occasions? One of those occasions, the Maidan massacre, is spoken to by the Estonian foreign minister, captured in a leaked phone call:
“So that there is now stronger and stronger understanding that behind the snipers it was not Yanukovich, but it was somebody from the new coalition”
Now, why do you suppose the Estonian didn’t go public with this? Because the Estonian government also harbors Nazi sentiment?
”It is really surprising that Estonia has so hysterical reactions in their need [to] support the SS-Waffen celebration. I wrote a RT-column about two weeks ago about these celebrations. And now SS-Waffen celebrations are carried out again in Estonia, but Estonia’s security service wrote the prohibition against me to enter the country. Estonia limits the freedom of journalists to report about the political phenomena, if these journalists don’t work under the service of Estonian security service and their ideology.
”I had a plan to enter to Estonia and write a RT-column about these SS-Waffen celebrations, feelings, symbols, etc. I haven’t ever done any crimes in Estonia (or in other country), I am an EU-citizen. Fortunately, I had planned to travel separately from Finnish friends of mine. If did I travel with them on board, now I would sit in a prison cell, together with Dr. Johan Bäckman.
”Johan Bäckman, an adjunct professor at the Helsinki university, was arrested during last night 30th July although his name was not on any “blacklist”. Bäckman has never done any crime in Estonia. He would have written critically about these Nazi celebrations.
”Petri Krohn, the president of the association Finland without Nazism has also an entry ban for the days of SS-celebrations” …
Finally
The English sub-titled version of the film ‘Ukraine: The Masks of the Revolution’ by French Journalist Paul Moreira was almost immediately taken down by youtube following its release by Canal+ TV in France. This film had Kiev’s apologists squealing like electrocuted pigs, so it must have hit a nerve. Read Moreria’s defense of his documentary HERE.
This film’s interviews of the Odessa massacre survivors & perpetrators goes far towards setting the record straight on who was behind the 2014 events in Ukraine.
Where does it end? War with Russia on account of the West’s Nazis?
From December 2021 into January 2022, the propaganda prigs have been busy on all surfaces of the geopolitical dodecahedron. There’s no chance getting through the whole of it (not even close) but we can peek at the psyops, manipulation of otherwise intelligent people and the artificially created, deceptive incentives to infighting and destabilizing one’s enemies in a few ways almost no one else will look at.
One would like to see through the whole of it but the picture is so mixed, it defies short description. What in fact seems to be emerging is, when the forces of evil battle each other, it is not something a positive spin can be put on for the simple fact the collateral damage is immense; but we can begin with Russia and the Russian propaganda prigs employing ignorant Americans to propagandize ignorant Americans, that is Ted Rall whose understanding of the USA’s constitutional history is only matched by the ugliness of Rall’s cartoon characters:
“From the electoral college to gun rights to the hilariously archaic right to refuse to quarter troops in your home and the $20 threshold for a civil jury trial, the US Constitution contains many head-scratching relics of an America we wouldn’t recognize. Living in the age of the musket, James Madison might not be so quick to argue for legalizing the AR-15, assuming that a well-regulated state militia was still a thing.
“A work of genius the US Constitution is not. It is almost impossible to amend—it is in fact the hardest to amend in the world. The immutability of the document is highlighted by the inability of the world’s most powerful democracy to enshrine a right as basic as gender equality, a principle that the vast majority of other countries, even dictatorships and authoritarian regimes, have managed to include (at least in theory) in their founding charters” [1]
Going to Rall’s mangled context of the word “state” in Rall’s 1st paragraph, the 2nd Amendment’s “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state” is used (as it was meant to be used), at the time of it’s writing, in a singular, greater sense of ‘nation’ as the term ‘state’ is commonly known and used in international relations to this day. This has little to do with any state militia except to put a check on those as well, when the constitutional provision was made to arm the American people. [2]
The 2nd amendment plays big in the propaganda wars, as even sane American conservatives think it is a ‘god given right’ as opposed to the anti-federalists intending it as a check on the very sort of people manipulating today’s outcomes, that is Trump & his religious fanatic allies on the one side and the ‘liberal’ opposition on the other as “American Gladio” falsely convinces liberals all ‘gun rights nuts’ are murderous sociopaths. [3]
If the anti-federalists’ 2nd Amendment had been employed honestly (original intent), we’d be a decentralized nation of stable communities where only permanent community residents in good standing (upright citizens used to be the term) owned the military grade small arms and controlled the keys to the armory where the tanks are parked. There’d be no way we’d be bleeding the common taxpayer into an impossible to solve national debt problem for purpose of supplying truly lethal arms to the world and fanning the aggression demanding immense munitions expenditures (our ‘liberals’ are co-equal or worse offenders) enriching the military industrial complex. Mom & pop businesses would still flourish and a tap you bought for home installation, either in the 1930s or today, would still be working after 100 years.
CORRUPTION is the big alienating factor that in the end frightens people when it is the corrupt spinning the news (corporate owned press, journalism these days is more concerned with job security than deeply delving into reporting on the hand that feeds them, includes ‘journalists’ like Rall working for state owned propaganda machines.) Then there’s the liberal element in power trying to jam their values down everyone’s throat, that radicalizes even the conservatives who aren’t religious nuts, which plays into a feedback loop generating more extreme hype on both sides.
This corruption consumed the American constitution from our republic’s inception; to understand the argument between the Federalists and anti-Federalists was never solved, but the Federalists (essentially today’s corporate America) have played dirty ever since, one only need examine the history of the 11th Amendment and the associated, suspect, idea the USA has rightfully asserted the doctrine of Sovereign Immunity:
The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State. -11th Amendment
What had happened here, is a contractor from South Carolina was owed a Revolutionary War debt by the State of Georgia, which didn’t want to pay up. The Supreme Court had ruled there was no such thing as state sovereign immunity, in the case of Chisholm v Georgia.
“Chisholm v. Georgia, 2 U.S. (2 Dall.) 419 (1793), is considered the first United States Supreme Court case of significance and impact. Since the case was argued prior to the establishment of judicial review by Marbury v. Madison (1803), there was little available legal precedent (particularly in U.S. law). The Court, in a 4-1 decision, ruled in favor of Alexander Chisholm, a citizen of South Carolina, stating that states did not enjoy sovereign immunity from suits made by citizens of other states in federal court” [4]
Nearly all of the states freaked out at the prospect of having to pay up on their war debts and the 11th Amendment was passed, posthaste:
“To this day, Chisholm stands as one of only a handful of Supreme Court rulings that have been overturned by constitutional amendment. Even more important, the Supreme Court has built on the repudiation of Chisholm to hold that the Eleventh Amendment exemplifies a sovereign-immunity principle that sweeps well beyond the amendment’s text” [5]
And just like that, two immediate and a third, remarkable things happened;
1) Although the 11th Amendment is specific and narrow, and doesn’t so much as mention Sovereign Immunity, the legendary English Common Law expert William Blackstone’s Sovereign Immunity doctrine is reinstated in the former colonies: “The King moreover is not only incapable of doing wrong, but even of thinking wrong; he can never mean to do an improper thing: in him is no folly or weakness.” Only now, suddenly it is no longer the ‘King’ can act with impunity, but the institutions of government in the newly formed United States.
2) With the passing of the 11th Amendment by the several states’ legislators, all of the lawsuits pending in federal court per state war debts had been erased, and half the language of Article One, Section Nine, of the Constitution had been tossed into the ash bin: “No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.” Thomas Jefferson indicated this language had been meant to cover both criminal and civil circumstance of law, and the constitutional language supports this assertion by Jefferson; ‘Bill of Attainder’ should refer to criminal, and ‘ex post facto’ should refer to civil liabilities. In other words, the USA should not have been allowed to make law, criminalizing or creating liability, or excusing crime and liability, after the fact, to get the outcome it wants. The 11th Amendment neither mentions nor lifts this other constitutional provision. But now, civil ex post facto law happens frequently, such as Congress ‘forgiving’ the telecom companies illegally spying on Americans, erasing liability and robbing citizens of their day in court.
3) The third thing to happen was, as late as 1991, in Blatchford v. Native Village of Noatak, the Supreme Court wrote:
“we have understood the Eleventh Amendment to stand not so much for what it says, but for the presupposition of our constitutional structure which it confirms: that the States entered the federalfeudal system with their sovereignty intact, that the judicial authority in Article III is limited by this sovereignty, and that a State will therefore not be subject to suit in federal court unless it has consented to suit, either expressly or in the “plan of the convention” [my correction of SCOTUS language in bold]
And there you have it, from the early days of the Supreme Court saying Sovereign Immunity is a non existent thing in immediate post colonial USA law, to the several states’ legislatures passing the 11th Amendment which doesn’t so much as mention Sovereign Immunity, to escape war debt, to the modern Supreme Court stating the language of our constitution’s 11th Amendment doesn’t mean what it actually says, but instead means what they want it to say, essentially stating ‘we’ll extend ‘the King’s prerogative‘ as far as we please, and we’ll use the 11th Amendment to absurdly assert what amounts to a claim the King’s Sovereign Immunity (impunity) was never a point of the American Revolution.’
Here’s the simple math: From King George III was our ‘sovereign’ entitled to immunity (amounting to impunity), to ‘the people’ are sovereign, to politicians claiming they hold the people’s sovereignty (amounting to impunity), to judges appointed by those very politicians upholding this political theft of our freedoms, to the oath to uphold our constitution becoming patently meaningless, even especially when cases come before the courts. [6]
It is in the light of this preceding we can examine (shortly) Rall’s “hilariously” ignorant idea (his second paragraph quoted at the beginning of this article) there is no existing means of enforcing gender equality in our constitution as written. In fact, with the enfranchisement of women (right to vote) via the 19th Amendment, the constitution’s “Equal Protection” of the law should have served as basis for enforcing gender equality. But what is it Rall (and liberals generally) don’t want to be honest about? If THERE WERE gender equality, in a context of ‘equal protection of the law’, women would be subject to military conscription, not only men. People like Rall will never pull that argument (together with their heads) out of where the sun never shines in their small understanding of the difficulties attending social evolution, probably because they fear losing it.
Insofar as Rall asserting the USA constitution “a work of genius it is not” should recall the same people (the anti-federalists which, as a popular movement, ratified the ‘Bill of Rights’ from New Hampshire to Georgia) who wrote the 2nd Amendment also wrote the 4th amendment concerning privacy in one’s papers, a given example of motivation in the anti-federalists’ actual intentions. As well, other rights, for instance prohibition of a bill of attainder, prevention of (warrantless) unreasonable searches & seizures and the right to confront your accuser. To name but a few provisions of the first through eighth amendments authored by the anti-federalists.
If our “Bill of Rights” had been insisted upon by anti-federalists (James Madison was the compromise proxy author), and it most certainly was, the entire world is indebted to our ‘hilariously archaic’ constitution for the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights inspired by the American Bill of Rights and certain of its provisions. The 2nd Amendment’s original intent had been to secure these rights against the state. Well, it didn’t work out as planned because of the Federalist heirs’ dirty play, related dirty propaganda, that, and a self-righteous, arrogant ignorance coupled with moral turpitude & ethical cowardice across all sectors of society. To be honest, humankind is not yet evolved to point of functioning within a democracy. Rall actually seems to believe the other Western democracies, such as Germany, have functioning constitutions because they can be easily amended. Square that with the reality of German politics and its role in imperialism within today’s European Union; the best joke (cartoon in reality) a cynic could dream up: 1) Merkel goes out with a torch-lit parade featuring military sporting Nazi era helmets and music by the lover of an SS criminal executed for war crimes and gets a standing ovation at the Reichstag a day or so later, all a good match for certain NATO aggressive states’ political behaviors embedded in the European Union. [7], [8], [9]
So, going to the history of judicial corruption in the dirty play of the modern Federalists (today’s corporate America, spanning the political spectrum from Chevron’s Condoleezza Rice to Microsoft’s Bill Gates), we can wrap up this ‘Rall Constitutional Vivisection’ with the doctrine of “Strict Scrutiny” which was the WWII era invention of the USA Supreme Court that crucified the anti-federalist personal freedom protections when the new doctrine was employed to over-ride fundamental rights to secure a Federalist ‘compelling state interest’ (includes ‘sovereign immunity’ from suit and suspension of habeas corpus) with the internment of the USA’s Japanese-American population across the board. That was more than a simple prescience constituting a precedent, it was the judicial power grab that prepared the USA for the so-called ‘National Security Act of 1947’, authorizing creation of the CIA, led to the secret FISA court, unaccountable instigation of color revolutions, creation of al Qaida et al, leading ultimately to the so-called ‘Patriot Act’ (and too many more constitutional vulgarities to mention here), and the only thing ‘secured’ was extra-constitutional color of law authorizing empire and the resultant corporate state bringing the USA to ruin. [10]
Meanwhile, let’s do a bit of asymmetrical percentages; you leave both sides responsibility out of your studies and only point the finger at the one side, the left is going to get the right about 50% correct in its complicity and the right is going to get the left about 50% correct in its complicity. The two missing portions equaling 50% each is the 100% complicity both sides share in sending our small world ‘to hell in a hand basket.’
This academic clown correctly points to the USA sliding towards a 2nd civil war and fascist dictatorship but places disproportionate blame on a dead clown:
“But one can’t blame only Mr. Limbaugh, who died in early 2021, and his ilk for America’s dysfunction. These people and their actions are as much symptoms of that dysfunction as its root causes, and those causes are many. Some can be traced to the country’s founding – to an abiding distrust in government baked into the country’s political culture during the Revolution, to slavery, to the political compromise of the Electoral College that slavery spawned, to the over-representation of rural voting power in the Senate, and to the failure of Reconstruction after the Civil War. But successful polities around the world have overcome flaws just as fundamental” [11], [12]
Furthermore, in the article, if Tucker Carlson is also to blame for the right’s misinformation, how is it the left’s constitutional attorney Glenn Greenwald frequents his show to discuss these matters of our vanishing personal liberties under the Biden administration, and Trump & Obama before that?
A mini rewrite of what seems basically the same material predicting a 2nd civil war in the USA is hosted at the Guardian and this snippet is not far off the mark:
[Fundamentalist Christian leadership of] “The right has recognized that the system is in collapse, and it has a plan: violence and solidarity with treasonous far-right factions” [13]
Both ignore the perfectly plausible ‘sane’ conservative assessment that, were it ‘antifa’ had ‘stormed’ the capitol on 6 January 2021, you wouldn’t see the intact historical decor in the photos of that event, you’d see the flames that had burned that building out. How is it the Capitol rioters are ‘insurrectionists’ & ‘domestic terrorists’ and the antifa rioters who burned Portland for 100 straight days are not? And both authors are ignorant of the corrupt process in the USA’s constitutional history; leading not only to GW Bush and Dick Cheney, but their co-equal criminal actors Barack Obama and Joe Biden, color revolution perpetrators, war mongers and corporate empire prostitutes, the lot of them.
Let’s (just briefly) back up to “But successful polities around the world have overcome flaws just as fundamental” and ask, ‘Oh yeah, and what’s with those covid lock-down riots across the European Union?’ Oh, that’s right, the Federalist empire’s corporate media doesn’t have an easy spin for that. Must be some imperfection having to do with protecting allies in the West’s empire projects and “Liberal Democracy in Europe.” [14], [15]
At the end of the day, the common sense right invites the left to talk our problems out but nowhere in leadership on the left is there anyone to communicate with…
“Trump supporters were led down some rabbit holes. But they are absolutely right that the institutions and power centers of this country have been monopolized by a Regime that believes they are beneath representation, and will observe no limits to prevent them getting it. I encourage people on the Left to recognize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in front of them. You’re not going to agree with the conservatives on everything. But if in 2004 I had told you that the majority of the GOP voter base would soon be seeing the folly of the Iraq War, becoming skeptical of state surveillance, and beginning to see the need for action to help the poor and working classes, you’d have told me such a thing would transform the country. Take the opportunity. These people are not demons, and they are ready to listen in a way they haven’t in a long, long time” [16]
…no differently were the sinking, working class right to cross the boundaries created by history exploited in the propaganda hype, there is no one in the right’s leadership to talk the tensions down and pursue some common sense communications:
“Maybe, just maybe, whitey, y’all should look at setting some history aside and begin negotiating some détente and political alliances with black people in the lower middle class communities you should be grateful hadn’t adopted the attitude of ‘the only good cracker is a dead cracker.’ From there alliances might be bridged deeper into those ghettos with a seething anger at what had happened to them and what is now happening to you. Nobody has to be in love, only reasoned, civil and fair” [17]

Question for Russian intelligence: Has anyone informed Putin ivermectin crushes covid? Or is the Russian estate determined Putin will join the roll call of prostitutes history will be unforgiving towards as Russia squeezes down on its populace with mandatory, “gene therapy” vaccination and the related erasure of personal liberties? So, does Big Pharma own you too? Our ‘Dr Mengele’s’ name is Fauci. Who is yours? [18]
Factoid: The covid virus is 1,000 times smaller than the pores in the masks you breathe through. Do ‘mask mandates’ say anything to anyone concerning psychological operations pointing people away from securing so-called ‘personal liberties?’ [19]
Nazi party membership in Germany was about 10% and yet not only were the German people controlled by and motivated to supporting fascism, this 10% led an aggressive imperialism to point of imposing will on their neighbors. With the European Union dominated by today’s Germany, there is a rather shocking comparison when we examine the ‘grand coalition’ of Angela Merkel’s expired political deal:
Rough party membership math:
Social Democrats 420,000
Christian Democrats 406,000
Christian Social Union 140,000
Total ‘grand coalition’ party members had been about 966,000, which applied as a percentage of approximately 60,000,000 (sixty million) eligible voters in Germany equals 1.6% (one point six percent) party members or less than 2% of Germans were making and driving policy for 60,000,000 (sixty million) German voters.
The new ‘traffic light’ coalition using the 2019 statistics (they won’t have changed radically)
Party membership:
Social Democrats 420,000
Greens 97,000
Free Democrats 66,000
Total party membership 583,000
Total voters 60,000,000
Or in the 21st Century ‘liberal democracy’ Germany, in its dominate position within the EU, the new coalition determines about 1% of Germans will enforce the ideology, policies and direction that not only Germany, but all of the European Union (and more) will be subjected to.
400,000,000 (four hundred million) European Union voters having policy made for them by the new German ‘traffic light’ coalition = 0.145% (not even two tenths of one percent), deciding the direction and fate of approximately one half of Europe. But it is more than that. It is as well about the European Union expansion, a de facto German imperialism imposing its will much more effectively that the Nazis had, with so-called soft power, normally enhanced-enforced on the dark side (blackmail, assassinations) by the relevant intelligence agencies:
Soft power in politics (particularly in international politics), is the manipulation or operation of a reward and punishment system in the absence of (obvious) physical violence. Soft power involves shaping the preferences of others through appeal, attraction and (covert) threats or unpleasant consequences. The currency of soft power includes culture, political values, attraction and rewards
The new boss of the German soft power imperial project:
Since his attendance at the 2010 Bilderberg as mayor in Hamburg, Scholz’ career has experienced a Bilderberg boost, advancing to the Social Democrats’ 2020 candidate for German Chancellor at the 2021 German parliamentary election
✓ supports a ‘sovereign’ European Union
In the new German ‘traffic light’ coalition it is the ‘green light’ will run the foreign policy. New foreign minister Annalena Baerbock (a naif ripe for manipulation by Bundesnachrichtendienst intelligence briefings) brings an Atlanticist orientation that is second to none when it comes to an Anglo-American trained German imperialist:
Annalena Baerbock was selected as the Green Party candidate for Chancellor in the 2021 German parliamentary election, when the Alliance 90/The Greens achieved their best ever result at 14.8% of the votes, winning 118 seats, and coming third behind the SPD (206 seats) and the CDU/CSU (196 seats)…
✓ supports the eastward expansion of NATO
✓ supports a more aggressive European Union foreign policy
Then, we have a ‘green’ nobody novelist-provincial politician becomes vice-chancellor, basically he is assigned a role of lobby for the green party line in formulating policy at the chancellery:
Robert Habeck is a German writer and politician. He has served as co-leader of Alliance ’90/The Greens since 2018 alongside Annalena Baerbock. Habeck passed his final secondary-school examinations in 1989 at the Heinrich …
✓ supports the neonazi regime in Kiev
But it is this guy holding the Ministry of Agriculture that people had better watch out for, because his behind closed doors role & influence will certainly be out-sized in the ongoing 21st Century’s German imperialism project when it comes the Greens holding the foreign ministry:
Cem Özdemir is a German politician of the German political party Alliance 90/The Greens. He is of part of the carefully nurtured party fraction that brought The Greens from a pacifist party to a strongly militaristic (‘olive green’) stance, stating that “we Greens have lost our fear of departments that deal with security issues”
✓ founding member, European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR)
Recalling the present ‘liberal democracy’ iteration of German imperialism arrives on the scene at Strasbourg & Brussels with less than two tenths of one percent of the European electorate (Germany’s policy making front or the traffic light coalition determining future EU policy) the ‘green light’ also holds the right to appoint Germany’s next member (when von der Leyen’s term is expired) to the European Commission and it should be a no-brainer to assume this would be the European Union’s ‘green’ Special Rapporteur to the Western Balkans, the impeccably German imperialist who is on record stating “The Western Balkans is not our neighborhood, it is our inner-yard” … with a résumé which profiles as having Bundesnachrichtendienst asset (German CIA) written all over it:
In August 2018, von Cramon announced that she would run for a parliamentary seat in the 2019 European elections. Since becoming a Member of the European Parliament, she has been serving on the Committee on Foreign Affairs. In this capacity, she is the Parliament’s rapporteur on relations to the Western Balkans. In 2020, she also joined the Special Committee on Foreign Interference in all Democratic Processes in the European Union
✓ opposes the right of self determination of peoples
✓ sleeps with Zelensky’s warmongers in Kiev
✓ furthers the ongoing NATO encirclement of Russia
In circumstance of ‘liberal democracy’ where in the European Union, less than two tenths of one percent make and drive policy, there must be factored in the additional structural phenomenon; the 583,000 Germans having captured the 400,000,000 voting EU citizens doesn’t change the nature of the hierarchy wherein it will be a handful of the 583,000 at the top, with lateral associations (intelligence agencies, corporate lobbies), will determine direction. Just one more unfortunate equation.
21st Century Imperial Germany’s Bundesnachrichtendienst ‘soft power’ project not only has played the Kremlin a fool in the ‘chancellor to president’ presumably peer-to-peer relationship, but moreover, in the trans-Atlantic dealings, Germany makes today’s USA look like the handicapped IQ, thug-enforcer-bodyguard it actually has become; a thick-skulled goon basking in a self important delusion of grandeur when manipulated on a world stage play strategized & energized by a thinly concealed central European imperial meme laundering its’ agenda.
People should stop a misdirected obsessing with the Americans and start examining the Germans.
A postscript would be, in this case where a short research determines the ‘pacifist’ aspirations are contradicted by the militarist associations and actions, I really would prefer there were some intelligent, ecosystem preserving policies and relevant laws with teeth. But I certainly wouldn’t welcome the 21st Century German imperialism into my parlor; to go about discussion in regards to arriving at positive outcomes in the case where an imperial German ‘liberal democracy’ determines the reality of ‘green’ refers to a case of gangrene as much as anything.

I recently received the following email under the title – Media Request – comment for upcoming article
Russell, hello,
I’m a journalist for BuzzFeed News. I reported extensively in the Donbass during the war, although I’m not sure our paths crossed. But I believe we know each other. I’m writing to ask if you’d like to comment on a piece of information I’ll be including in an upcoming story. The story is not focused on you. However, in the course of my reporting I learned that you are one of the 250 people the Ukrainian Prosecutor General’s Office is investigating for alleged terrorism-related offenses for fighting on the Russia-backed side of the war. Because I’ll be mentioning this in the article, I wanted to contact you to give you a chance to respond. Please let me know today if you’d like to comment on this matter. In describing you in the article, I’ll also mention your past drug conviction, as well as your time fighting in Donetsk.
Thank you, Chris Miller
There’s no need to include here my insolent, insulting and profanity-laced reply, (perhaps Miller will be so kind as to publish it elsewhere, though he failed to do so, or even mention me at all in his article) but suffice to say, I compared the Ukraine Prosecutor General’s Office to a cesspool, and specifically called Miller a “presstitute”. That neo-nazi terrorists in the Prosecutor General’s Office are investigating me for “terrorism” because I have defended the citizens and civilians of Donbass from Kiev’s own genocide and ethnic cleansing programs is the the apex of hypocrisy and cynicism, a real life example of the comic book “Bizarro World” where everything is the exact opposite of what it is supposed to be. Equally as “bizarro” and hypocritical is Miller’s calling himself a “journalist”. He is a US government paid professional propagandist and disinformation specialist , an enemy of the truth and an inveterate liar. As for my “past drug conviction”, well, there is some truth to that, and I’ll address it, since Miller didn’t, but let’s take each in their turn. First, the Ukrainian Prosecutor General, and the abject ukrop quisling government as a whole. [1]
A quick Google search for “Ukraine corruption” brings up almost 46 million results. It has been ranked the ninth most corrupt country in the world, the most corrupt in Europe, and Ukraine’s corruption rank by country has averaged 117th over the past 22 years, which is, in fact, exactly where it is today, according to tradingeconomics.com, an international business and investment news service with no political ax to grind. So, despite occasional fluctuations and purely cosmetic rhetoric, for more than two decades, including the past eight years under direct and complete US/NATO/IMF suzerainty, the word “Ukraine”, as well as the nation itself, remains synonymous with “corruption”. Same as it ever was. And how could it be otherwise? [2], [3]
Since the Maidan “Revolution of Dignity” instigated by the political treachery of the EU reneging on a last minute treaty with then President Yanukovich, and cemented with the mass murder of over 100 police and protesters by “unknown assailants”, (crimes which remain unsolved by the brilliant sleuths of the General Prosecutors Office, in spite of compelling forensic, video, and eyewitness evidence, and even outright confessions by some of the snipers themselves) Ukraine has been run by a collection of neo-nazis and mafia billionaires, under the command of Gauleiter Joe Biden. [4], [5], [6], [7]
Biden assumed control of Ukraine, soon after the Maidan coup, with his State Department flunkies Geoffery Pyatt and Victoria “Nuland” Nudelman hand-picking the next president , Prime Minister and their entire administrations, right down to appointing Vitali Klitchko as Mayor of Kiev (which he still is to this day). This parade of kleptocrats and clowns included Petro Poroshenko, an alcoholic billionaire and ruthless gangster as the new President of Ukraine, and Mikael Sakashvili, the fugitive ex-President of Georgia, who was appointed Governor of the Odessa region, in spite of being wanted at the time in his former country for corruption charges involving assault and murder in Georgia (charges for which he was subsequently convicted and sentenced to six years in prison, a sentence which he is currently serving in Georgia.) This motley crew is hardly the type to inspire trust and confidence that justice will be served, and distrust for the justice system in Ukraine is widespread. In fact, Ukraine ranked 101 out of 109 countries in the 2017 Index of Public Integrity. Opinion polls taken in 2016, two years after the new puppet regime was installed, recorded that only 3 to 5 percent of the population had any trust in the country’s justice system. And small wonder… Is this a face you would trust? [8], [9], [10], [11]
Ukrainian Prosecutor General Irina Venediktova She has ways of making you talk…
As for the Ukrainian Prosecutor General’s Office in particular, headed by the hatchet-faced Inquisitor Irina Venediktova, which is according to Miller, busy “investigating” 250 members of the Donbass Defense Forces (including myself) it has so far failed to identify, investigate, indict, prosecute or convict anyone in the Kiev sniper mass murders, the Odessa Trade Union mass murders, the MH-17 false flag mass murders, the theft of at least $4 billion of US and IMF aid, or the Burisma Oil scandal involving Hunter Biden, nor for the war crimes committed by at least seven US neo-nazis who served in Ukrainian military units that are currently being investigated by the FBI.
Those war crimes, committed by pro-Kiev US neo-nazis, involving multiple cases of kidnapping, rape, torture and murder of Ukrainian civilians, have been investigated since at least 2018, not by Ukrainian authorities, but by the US FBI. In fact, the main suspect in the case, Craig Lang, who is also wanted for a a double murder of an elderly couple in Florida, USA in April, 2018, has so far been protected from justice and harbored in Kiev by the Ukrainian government itself, including specifically the Prosecutor General’s Office. It is a fact that the SBU, the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ukrainian military are themselves all well known for kidnapping, torture and murder, so it is not far fetched to consider the possibility that Prosecutor Venediktova (who is also a sitting member of the National Security and Defense Council, which controls all the above organizations) is dragging her feet on bringing Lang and other war criminals to justice because she doesn’t consider kidnapping, torture and murder to be “crimes”, when applied by her colleagues and minions to the kind of people she thinks “deserve” it. And I guarantee, in her opinion, and Lang’s, I’d be exactly that kind of person.
A photo that neo-nazi Craig Lang once sent to me personally, on Facebook.
In their eyes, and apparently in Chris Miller’s, I and all who have defended the Russian people of Donbass from genocide and ethnic cleansing operations are “terrorists”. I did serve for about a year total in the DPR military and police, but I never went on a single offensive combat operation. I was, once, on a recon mission behind enemy lines, but we did not make contact, and no shots were fired. Every single shot I have ever fired in this war has been in self-defense, in a defensive position, shooting at soldiers, mercenaries and neo-nazi volunteers like Lang, who were attacking our position and shooting directly at me and my comrades. The German nazis called Russian Partizans and European Resistance fighters “terrorists” too, and these torturers, killers and war criminals of the current Kiev regime are no different or better than their nazi forebearers. It is an honor for me that these blood-thirsty beasts know I am their enemy and are terrified of it. As well they should be. Ukraine will soon be liberated, and then it will be scum like Venediktova who will be prosecuted and punished for their crimes, and I hope I live long enough to see it. I don’t want to see them tortured or killed, I just want justice done. I want to see them brought to Donbass in work battalions to repair and rebuild every single thing broken or destroyed by their attacks on the peaceful people of Donbass, ordered by the likes Venediktova, and carried out by mad dogs like Lang. There are two kinds of people in this world, those who build, and those who destroy. By bringing those who destroyed Donbass here to rebuild it, perhaps we can rehabilitate them. One thing is certain – by the time they finish re-building every single thing they have destroyed here, they will be very different people than the vermin they are today.
CHRIS MILLER – PSEUDO-JOURNALIST, PROFESSIONAL PROPAGANDIST AND NEO-NAZI FANBOY
Chris Miller introduced himself to me with a lie. “I’m a journalist for Buzzfeed News.” This is exactly the kind of lie he and his ilk of highly trained disinfo specialists are expert at – using what appears to be the truth to tell a lie. Yes, Miller’s articles do appear on the Buzzfeed News page, and he probably does get a check from them every month, but if you know his backstory, like I do, you know that his fealty is to whatever the owners of the US government tell him it is.
Chris Miller, jive-ass hipster bullshit artist, posing as a “journalist”.
Buzzfeed passes itself off to young, ignorant and impressionable naifs as a cool, progressive, alternative media “news” source, while being in fact a gossip rag and soap opera digest which is the draw and the cover for the occasional political disinfo story that is their real raison d’etre. Buzzfeed is a product of the Democratic Party Deep State, having been the first and main publisher of the “Steele Dossier”, a bogus hitpiece against Trump, later debunked by myriad sources, including most of the US mainstream media itself. With their penchance for plaigarism, fake news and stupid stunts, it is small wonder that in a 2017 survey among US readers by The Guardian (UK), BuzzFeed was voted the second least trustworthy source among American readers, with only “Occupy Democrats” being lower-ranked. “Yes,” you might say, “but Buzzfeed won the Pulitzer Prize for international reporting in 2021.” Indeed, which is every bit as appropriate as war criminals Henry Kissinger and Barrack Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize. In other words, a tragic joke and a disgrace, and the apex of hypocrisy. [12]
Buzzfeed is also a pioneer of “advertorial” advertising, an insidious mixing of advertising and “information/news” content that is almost subliminal, and is primarily of interest to major corporations as opposed to smaller or local businesses. The potential for the political abuse of such type of “advertising” is obvious. Which brings us to Miller’s previous, most interesting and most important employer – the CIA. Well, Radio Free Europe, (RFE) which was founded by the National Committee for a Free Europe, an anti-communist CIA front organization that was formed by Allen Dulles in 1949. Dulles later became the first civilian Director of the CIA, The Committee directed operations of RFE, and from 1951 to 1971, RFE was directly financed by the CIA, as an “anti-Communist propaganda” organization. There is an old saying in the CIA – “Once CIA, always CIA”. RFE was and is CIA, and Miller spent 10 years working for them in Eastern Europe. He is an expert propagandist and disinfo warrior, a professional bullshit artist, and his “new” job at Buzzfeed only continues that work. And the article Miller mentioned in his email to me is a perfect example of exactly how it works. [13], [14], [15], [16], [17]
A LIMITED HANGOUT
A limited hangout is a well known and often used disinfo technique where a limited amount of negative info about one’s own side is published in order to create a facade of openness and honesty, when in fact, it is a damage control and misdirection technique. As CIA agent and later whistleblower Victor Marchetti explained, a limited hangout is “a favorite and frequently used gimmick of the clandestine professionals. When their veil of secrecy is shredded and they can no longer rely on a phony cover story to misinform the public, they resort to admitting—sometimes even volunteering—some of the truth while still managing to withhold the key and most damaging facts in the case. The public, however, is usually so intrigued by the new information that it never thinks to pursue the matter further.” [18], [19]
It turns out that the article Miller was writing was about the seven US citizens who had fought on the Ukrainian side of the Donbass War who were being investigated by the FBI for war crimes, one of whom, Craig Lang, is also wanted for a double murder in the USA. The fact that the FBI was in Ukraine investigating war crimes, and the fact that the basis for these investigations includes compelling and irrefutable physical, video and eyewitness evidence of horrific crimes, including kidnapping, rape, torture and multiple murders, and would have become public sooner or later, forced Western propagandists like Miller and Buzzfeed into conducting a limited hangout disinfo operation of the “We got the few bad apples, justice is served, nothing more to see, move on” variety. And in fact in the final published version of Miller’s article, there was no mention of me or of my “previous drug conviction”. Here’s why [20], [21]
“Drug Dealer” Bentley, back in the day…
In 1996, I was arrested, along with seven other co-defendants, for being a part of a marijuana smuggling operation that moved hundreds of kilos of cannabis from Mexico to multiple destinations in the USA and Canada between 1991 and 1996. In 1996, I plead guilty to the fact that in 1992, I had indeed been in possession of 500 kilos of cannabis, and was sentenced to 63 months in prison for it. Unlike all my other co-defendants, I was the only one of the group who refused to “cooperate” with the cops or agree to testify. The others, equally or more guilty than I was, cooperated, and got reduced sentences of 18 months or a year and a day. Even the “kingpin” leader of the operation, who made multi-millions of dollars, only got three years compared to more than five years for me. So at least half of my sentence was for refusing to cooperate, not for cannabis possession. I did my five years in prison, plus four more years of “supervised release”, and my debt to society is paid in full, for a crime I committed 30 years ago.
It should also be noted, as it was in the official investigation, that our smuggling crew had two ironclad rules – no violence for any reason, and no hard drugs bought, sold or used. We only moved cannabis. My primary job was driving 100 pound loads from Mexico to Minnesota, wholesaling to distributors, and bringing the money back to the kingpin in South Texas. I was very good at my job. I made $25,000 per trip, which is pretty good pay for a couple of weeks’ work. But if I had instead moved 100 pounds of hard drugs like cocaine, heroin or meth, I could have made about a quarter million dollars per trip instead of $25,000. And, in fact, I had the opportunity and many offers to do so, and easily could have done so, had I wanted to. But I always refused. For moral reasons.
Cannabis is now legal in thirty three US states, and soon will be, nationwide, as it is in ten other countries, including Canada, Belgium and Holland. In fact, during the time I was smuggling weed, I was also a major player in the Marijuana Legalization Movement on the national and international levels, and I am one of the people who actually helped change the laws. But yes, it was illegal when I was a smuggler, and I did break the law, and I paid a hefty price for it too. But while I was admittedly an outlaw, I was never a criminal. I never hurt anybody. In fact, I am not the least bit ashamed or sorry for it, and make no apologies to anyone at all for it. The law I broke was stupid and unjust, and the fact that it is now changed only proves that there was no real crime, and I was simply punished for being a bit too far ahead of my time.
And here’s the point of all this, not one single ukrop propagandist, who brings up the subject of my conviction, including Miller, has ever called me a “marijuana smuggler” or said I was convicted of “marijuana possession”. It is always, every single fucking time, “drug dealer”. Which is semi-technically true, but still a lie. Because alcohol and tobacco are also, technically, and in reality, “drugs”. And in fact, both alcohol and tobacco are far more damaging to the individual, and to society in general than cannabis, and anyone who disputes that fact is either an idiot or a liar, or both. So, by this criterion, every corporation and every corner store that sells alcohol or tobacco is also a “drug dealer”, and dealing much more dangerous drugs than I ever did.
In the USA, alcohol directly kills 95,000 people every year, from overdose and illness. Add to that over 10,000 deaths and 290,000 serious injuries from DWI, not to mention addiction, domestic abuse, etc, and you begin to get an idea of the dangers of alcohol as a “drug”. But the damage caused by alcohol to individuals and society is eclipsed by the destruction that tobacco wreaks – 480,000 annual deaths directly related to tobacco use, ten years less average life expectancy, and an annual cost to society for medical care directly related to tobacco use in the USA of more than $300 Billion per year. In Russia, according to official studies, more than a million Russians die from alcohol and drugs every year, more than 500,000 directly from alcohol, and 300,000 from tobacco use. But for cannabis use, the statistics are clear, world-wide, and absolutely beyond dispute – not one single person, anywhere, has ever died from cannabis overdose or medical complications directly related to cannabis use. Not one, ever. To quote the US DEA report, “No deaths from marijuana overdose have (ever) been reported.” This fact is so well known and widely accepted by all medical surveys and government statistics that anyone who disputes it is an idiot and a liar, and an asshole. Period. [22], [23], [24], [25]
So, there IS a distinction between “drugs”, and anyone who calls me a “drug dealer” without mentioning the specific drug, is a liar and a hypocrite, unless they usually call convenience store clerks who sell cigarettes and bartenders who sell beer “drug dealers” too. And the ukrop trolls and presstitutes like Miller who call me a “drug dealer” instead of a weed smuggler, do so on purpose, with perjorative intent, trying to equate my breaking an unjust and stupid and now repealed law almost 30 years ago with contemporary mass murderers, rapists, torturers and war criminals. Don’t fall for their bullshit. Respect for the truth is the basis of all morality, and these liars are absolutely bereft of it.
This essay goes to the subject of rule-of-law dispensed with like a used condom in an encounter with a familiar prostitute. In this case, the ‘johns’ are the ruling politicians, several media outlets (pornography distributors) of differing persuasions are the pimps, the European Union is an obsessed voyeur of x-rated film, Council of Europe is the whorehouse, and the Venice Commission is the prostitute-pornography star.
So, it’s more than about political leadership, it’s the media they control, and sometimes, it’s the color-revolution media they must sleep with as well as the political fellatio they perform to survive as a mafia entity. Prepare for a bit of insanity that resembles nothing so much as a corrupted neighborhood’s orgy habits where dysfunctional couples in wife-swapping arrangements never break free of the blackmail potential.
First we’ll break down the color-revolution platform reporting; courtesy of a favorite EU and NATO states intelligence agencies’ pimp, N1, a subsidiary of CNN (also known as Counterfeit News Network.)
^ “The Venice Commission welcome the initiative by the Serbian authorities to adopt a draft law on referendum and people’s initiative but said that it has more recommendations
“The Venice Commission said that the revised draft law has followed, totally or partially, most of the substantive recommendations of the previous urgent opinion, aimed at ensuring its conformity with international standards. This is a positive development which is welcomed,” a press release said adding that some issues still need to be addressed
“The new recommendations include abolishing or significantly reducing signature authentication fees, extend the right to appeal to all voters, giving election commissions the authority to check signatures, address the decision-making power of the bodies dealing with proposed referendums, complaints and appeals in a more precise way, provide more detailed rules applicable in the case of emergency, consider reasonably extending the deadlines for lodging and deciding on complaints and appeals” [1]
Just, exactly, what did ‘The Venice Commission’ ACTUALLY “welcome”? Well, it won’t really enter the minds of most people, because the core of the subject isn’t dealt with. Everyone, the ruling party at the parliament, the ‘liberal democracies’ backed opposition, The Venice Commission itself, and certainly not least, media on both sides of the fight over a nation’s future are overlooking (or didn’t bother to read) what is supposedly being implemented, in its reform of so-called referendum law; with the Venice Commission (faux rule-of-law enforcer for the EU & NATO states) saying (in effect) ‘Great job! Now, we just need a bit of tidying up around the issue.’
Meanwhile, over at former color-revolution collaborator turned the regime’s lover, B92 (English translation courtesy of Serbian Monitor)
“At yesterday’s session, the Government of Serbia adopted the draft Law on Referendum and Popular Initiative. This proposal abolishes the mandatory threshold of the required number of voters as a condition for a referendum to be valid” [2], [3]
And then, over at the ‘regime friendly’, Serbian oligarch owned, Telegraf:
“in order to the change the Constitution, that is, for the success of a referendum, it is no longer required for 50 percent of registered voters to turn out” [4], [5]
Ok, to now, summed up, we have: the Council of Europe’s Venice Commission patting Serbia on the back for bringing Serbian law into compliance with the commissions updated (2020) “Revised Guidelines on the Holding of Referendums” and we find the heart of the matter under the subheading III “specific rules” where there are very non-specific rules that are not binding (rules that actually are not rules) in subsection 7:
“7. Quorum and special majorities
“a. It is advisable not to provide for:
“i. a turn-out quorum (threshold, minimum percentage)
“ii. an approval quorum (approval by a minimum percentage of registered voters),
“b. An approval quorum or a specific majority requirement is acceptable for referendums on matters of fundamental constitutional significance.
“c. The requirement of a multiple majority (the majority of voters taking part in the referendum plus the majority in a specified number of entities) is acceptable in federal and regional states, in particular for constitutional revisions” [6]
In other words, if your law calls for 100% citizen-voter registration (a level of participatory democracy that is practically unknown) and it requires more than half of the electorate to approve a change in this model of what would have been a true participatory democracy, this is NOT recommended according to point a. i. & ii.
BUT, according to points b. & c. if this level of participatory democracy is required in existing law to decide any matter of fundamental constitutional significance or to revise the constitution itself, the Venice Commission can’t argue with that but they certainly won’t require it.
Restated in the most simple logic: when a kleptocracy has so alienated its core electorate you can’t get 50% of the eligible voting public to turn out to support changes that will be fundamentally lied about (the alienated electorate know this), the ‘rule of law’ enforcing Council of Europe offers loopholes in the rules enabling the kleptocracy to pursue future changes in law greatly enabling/empowering the kleptocrats.
Never mind this is ostensibly about changing the constitution in regards to ‘reforming’ Serbia’s judiciary to reflect the Council of Europe’s ‘best practices’, the precedent set here points to easier thefts in the future. It is what is on the horizon is why the Western color-revolution propaganda arms like N1 avoid the core issue and assist regime media in concealing the facts; whereas without this ‘rule change’ it would be nearly impossible to change Serbia’s constitution to, example given, surrender sovereignty over Kosovo (an irritation in the Western empire’s plans for the future of Serbia), but now with the rule change, following the next Western intelligence agencies’ color-revolution in Serbia, there should be no problem, if the new regime gets 16% approval determining the national direction (surrendering the entirety of Kosovo), in a vote where 30% of the people turned out to vote, the problem is solved! (for empire.)
Furthermore, if only one half of the eligible people are registered to vote, in a case where this one half of the populace being registered constitutes the whole of the electorate and 30% of this registered electorate turned out to vote in referendum, it is actually 8% of the nation’s people can determine the future of any nation in this ‘liberal democracy’ model (not to mention how this model smooths the way for multinational corporations future consolidating their grip on nations like Serbia.)
This arrangement with the European Union aligned institution, Council of Europe, enforces a ‘democracy’ model that is worse than some so-called ‘banana republics’ and resembles nothing so much as the corrupt tribal politics imposed on certain indigenous nations by the USA. [7]
Now, ask yourselves, are these people you could trust to make law & policy in a multinational, corporate, big pharma enriching pandemic? [8]
“The idea of becoming “NSA-proof” is just silly. If they want it, they can get it” –Joseph Lorenzo Hall
“I’m going to slip up and they’re going to hack me. It’s going to happen” –Edward Snowden
All the encryption in the world isn’t going to protect, example given, a computer with a NSA, GCHQ, Unit 8200 or other intelligence agency’s undetectable keylog trojan, trust me. But first, a bit of my story and then onto how (not, actually) to leak:
When I’d exited the U.S. Army in April, 1976, I held a top secret clearance. The only documents I had taken with me were a complete record of my military 201 file. I also had (since) acquired copies of my veterans and social security files. How I’d managed copies of these are a secret, along the lines of Benjamin Franklin’s ‘three people can keep a secret if two of them are dead.’ In this regard, it is worth mentioning I have held information between my ears that has never been spoken of in presence of mobile device, let alone entered into a computer or sent via any email.
Ok, so I can tell how I acquired the social security file, the social security administration fucked up and mailed me my own file. Yes, the original, which I went through with what certain people might have assumed would be great satisfaction, as supposedly I realized I was the censor who’d decide what I could see in my file. Of course I redacted or with-held nothing in my self exam, prior to sending the file on to my attorney who notified the social security administration we were (supposedly) inadvertently in possession of the file and to who should we send it to? A lady at the administration, in subsequent conversation, commented to myself something along the lines of ‘NO ONE has had the access to their file that you have had…’
But in fact this social security business was patent bs. Almost certainly the file had been deliberately sent my way, stripped of certain records (they missed pulling one critical document pointing to this), to throw me off the trail of then senators Max Baucus and Conrad Burns who both were complicit in covering up crimes at United States Forest Service offices in Montana on environmental issues, and suspects in regards to my file having been sequestered for months at the Social Security offices in Maryland while it was investigated whether I could be charged with fraud. Why? The USA appears to have left no stone unturned in efforts to take myself out of the public circulation due to my anti-corruption work of that era (1990s.) Apart from this, it was about this time I’d produced copies of records from my VA (military veteran) file after certain originals had gone missing following an ‘expert’ sent from Washington to Helena (Montana, where my VA file was kept) to ‘review’ files, kept me from charges of fraud relating to my veteran’s disability pension.
This (failed) ‘deep state’ caper in regards to attempt at trumping up felony charges intended to send me to jail and end my work, follows typical false flag spy-craft model. The people hearing the case, had it been successfully pursued, would have been innocents looking at a record they could not know (or believe) had been tampered with, to secure a conviction. My having copies of my VA file documents, saved my butt. I produced the necessary copy of a critical document at the initial hearing and the case was dismissed on the spot.
It wasn’t until I’d dug into the USA’s funding of charter schools as cover for intelligence embeds, the agencies had begun playing hardball or, that is to say, devoted resources to taking me out physically (assassination.)
Prior to this, during my stint with Special Forces, I’d the best possible education in operations and intelligence because it was not school, but OJT (on-the-job-training) with veterans of operations coordinated with CIA in Indochina and Central America. This was the best (or worst, depending on one’s perspective) avenue to knowledge in the ‘game’ of international intrigue; it was unrestricted, first hand knowledge of the dirty aspect of the business on the ground, where the intrigues hatched by criminal minds at Langley, Virginia, are played out. Suffice it to say, I departed Special Forces with a remarkable understanding of how underhanded the game of spies is played, the paramount importance of employing psychology to one’s advantage (in often devious ways), and the imperative necessity of the death of one’s conscience to be successful and survive. Having only learned about, not employed these nefarious skills, I took my conscience and ethics, intact, with me on departure, together with the remarkable tool kit I’d developed through this experience, in subsequent work as investigator. My favorite of these skills had been open source analysis, in fact in light of the avalanche of criticisms since the Snowden revelations, it has been pointed out CIA open source analysis has been more effective, by far, than any NSA program, in relation to spy-craft.
Now, applying old school spy-craft, to the point of this essay; how NOT to leak-
Since WikiLeaks had been locked out of its own leak platform we’ve had ‘OpenLeaks‘ (a flop) and since we’ve had the deceptive & falsely named, pandering to fools, so-called ‘SecureDrop‘ (remember Reality Winner?)
However ‘SecureDrop’ might have been well intended, I wouldn’t touch it with the proverbial ten-foot pole. What’s more is, I doubt you’d even need it, if you wished to leak. I’ll go into the why you wouldn’t need it first, and then why I wouldn’t touch it.
If you wished to have a secure platform to leak documented criminal activities from, as opposed to a supposedly ‘secure’ online platform to leak to, you should be able to build one yourself. And you shouldn’t need to be a computer guru to do it. The recipe is exceedingly simple:
Acquire a laptop that cannot be traced to you, from a yard sale in an unfamiliar neighborhood, example given. Park your car away from where you make the purchase. I don’t advise stealing a machine, but that’d work if you’re a competent thief and don’t leave a trail. We know the NSA has arranged to implant computers with bugged software, actual hardware in some cases, and we want a computer that it doesn’t matter if it ‘calls home’ (NSA) when certain red flags might be triggered by materials you might be handling, so onto the next paragraph.
Now, before you even fire the machine up for the first time, you kill the web-cam, a piece of paper taped over it will do just fine. And you disable the microphone and speaker with dummy jacks cut from discarded actual microphones and speakers and epoxy them in place, just to make certain they stay there. Carefully cut them off where the plug extends from the jack, so they are not obvious. Now your ‘leak platform’ is externally blind, deaf and dumb. Shut off bluetooth and search the machine for any GPS integrated software programs and disable them prior to logging on to the internet. DO NOT log into internet from your home.
Now, as to what you might be leaking, consider whether it will be tracked to you on the back-end (source.) Be assured in some environments there will be efforts to do certain things, like identify a computer that had items downloaded onto a memory stick. How will you get these materials safely into the machine you intend to leak from? Old fashioned spy-craft is something to consider, if you do not feel secure in the environment whose security you are breaching. Digital photos of actual documents can be loaded into the computer or paper documents can be scanned into your ‘leak platform’ (in which case you will want an older, untraceable scanner as well.) Use a digital camera that cannot be traced to you. You NEVER want to mail by post any documents, because certain addresses will be flagged by intelligence agencies and your package could be intercepted and might give up fingerprints and/or DNA and other information, such as a the postmark information needed to review security footage at specific locations on certain dates. Also, you’ll want clean paper documents for a scanner (particularly) or digital camera, on account of the possibility you might inadvertently scan your own or your colleagues fingerprints (use gloves when working with any paper documents.)
Ask yourself, is the material you are considering making public, of a demonstrable criminal nature? Or, does it shock the conscience in a sense of egregious violating principles of ethics? COVER YOUR ASS, BECAUSE NO MATTER THE PRECAUTIONS TAKEN, YOU MIGHT GET CAUGHT. Public opinion might save your butt, but don’t count on it, it hasn’t worked for many (if any in recent times.)
Remind yourself, there has been a dearth of leakers that have gone undetected. Has it ever crossed your mind why there has been no ‘deep throat‘ in our present era, and why it seems nearly everyone gets busted? As well, our Federalist Society majority on the USA’s ‘deep state’ owned (corporate board controlled) Supreme Court refused first amendment free press protection to journalism in the case of James Risen in a leaks case. They’ll be after you with everything at the system’s disposal and your chances are not good if you are detected at any level.
Now, you’ve decided, as a patriot, your leak is worth your liberty and/or life and you’ve convinced yourself you’ve stolen the material you wish to leak without getting caught (let’s hope you’re right) and it’s time to deliver to the journalists, undetected. Perhaps you’d wish to wait three or six months, after you’ve gotten away with the initial theft, it’d be nice if the trail grows cold. Now, your documents are loaded into file that is easy to access, for instance located on the desktop. The email addresses you wish to send the information to are handy. Now, your platform, ‘Dr Leakey’ (named for the archaeologist), is ready. You are in familiar turf (if you are confident), or you have traveled to unfamiliar territory (if you have nerves of steel.) What you need is an open wireless signal you can log onto. When you’ve found this at a cafe or a truckstop or simply a careless person in any neighborhood with unlocked wireless where you can log in from, sitting in your car parked close by (beware of cctv), log on. Create a faked email account (that you will never use again.) Send a first mail (BCC to recipients) to yourself, explaining there is a second mail following with attachments and stating if the recipient does not see the second mail, to look in their spam folder. This mail should pop up and you see it with no failed addresses (from the BCC to the people you are mailing.) Seeing you have a working address on both ends (i.e. functioning mail accounts) and are you still determined to do this, ask yourself, for real? Deep breath, new mail addressed, attached file(s), hit send, have coffee, read the paper, look at ease, normal, belonging in your environment while the what might seem like ages in time pass as the file uploads from the computer and finally the mail goes ‘whoosh’ (in your mind) and the leak is done.
Calmly go on about your day and know how you will be disposing of Dr Leakey. You used him for this one project and will never use him again. Example given, pull out the ram, hard drive goes to the incinerator (an all night campfire will do), break the screen as though Dr Leakey had been accidentally dropped & parts salvaged, and the carcass destination ends in a dumpster (leave no fingerprints.) Same fate for either the digital camera or scanner, if you used these. Be patient for results in the news. You’ve just dropped a bomb from the unseen world and any journalist worth your while, will take time to try and authenticate the information you’ve provided. If they blow it off and never pursue the lead, maybe the gods actually love you. If you’ve gotten away with it, resist temptation to ever do it again. There might be such thing as a charmed life, but it’s probably not yours.
By now, the NSA with its billions of mails to look through, will come up with (at most) someone sent a mail from an account used ONCE, from an computer they never see log in again, over some unsecured random wireless signal in the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area, example given. Maybe you live in this area of 13 million people or maybe you don’t. This is because you left little in the way of digital fingerprints by finding a way around taking your leak out on a memory stick. Enjoy a quiet laugh and hope you were good enough getting the material out the back-end, with a cold or faint trail, because if you did it right, they can’t track you from that end. And then erase your personal memory, the one between your ears, because you never wish to tell ANYONE, who you are, in relation to what you’ve done. Meanwhile, study technique along the lines set out by a former FBI agent in the article ‘Spy Craft for Hacks‘ but even there the deck is stacked against you with an ‘agency friendly’, very serious lie by omission; don’t ever have your cell phone (or any mobile device) along on what would then become a misadventure. You’ll need cold nerves, excellent understanding of the environment and good luck, to pull it off. Nothing suffices for this like training and even then, there is no absolute way of doing these things undetected. Luck and competence on your own part and that of your adversaries play into this as well.
Now, to why you probably don’t actually want or need to leak. Firstly, we know it is no longer a conspiracy ‘theory’ (rather conspiracy fact) the USA’s security state is behaving like nazis in relation to surveillance of its own people. We know it’s likely the corporate ‘deep state’ co-opted congress, president and courts are doing little and will do little or nothing to actually change this behavior of the MILITARY elements in control of the runaway NSA, other than at most, wring their hands for public consumption. You don’t need much more knowledge to effect change, if change is going to happen. And if change isn’t happening, what’s the point? If our society’s leading lights are merely content (at most) to shout and stamp their feet like spoiled children at what is going on, rather than shut down ‘business as usual’ along the lines of refusing this criminal hydra legitimacy and attending power, and you don’t see the tectonic plate shift in public outrage necessary to force the issue, there really is no point, people have been cowed into obedience along the lines predicted by both Orwell & Huxley. On the one hand you have Orwell’s conservative sheep bleating on behalf of the ‘security’ state over the terror propaganda all of our western world has been fed. On the other hand you have Huxley’s ‘it’s all about me’ MTV generation could care less about civil liberties beyond freedom to consume, extreme sport, sex, fashion and media ego. With corporate media feeding a public with an education one mile wide and one quarter inch deep (1.6 kilometers wide & 1/2 centimeter deep), the Billy Grahams and Hollywood (our two primary oracles of ‘god’) rule a society which has cannot be saved from itself, because you cannot get the majority’s attention long enough to explain a few sensible things that might change their focus, if not their beliefs, whether puritan or hedonistic. This reflects social engineering via media information operations.
Stepping into/out of this world in relation to spies and leaking is a very dangerous proposition for the untrained. Now is time to work with what we know, not obsess with pursing endless soap operas concerning information on criminals you exercise no real control over. And there is a reason intelligence will want you obsessing (keep reading.)
What can be clearly inferred from open source analysis is, our civil structures have become criminal, out of control, one could go so far as to simply state ‘insane.’ And this is what is distracted from, when obsessed with being outraged at the western democracies ‘voyeurism’ in relation to ‘the people’ who supposedly are in control of our future direction via the principle of ‘consent of the governed.’ The propagandists at the several corporate board controlled intelligence agencies, via co-opted western media, will work to guide and exploit this national tantrum to a (hopefully) calmed down child at the end of the day.
As to the ongoing criminal agendas, one only need look at Chevron (example given) as a corporate gangster poster child and how they’ve managed to buy congress and the courts via Federalist Society owned justices at the top, along the lines of ‘citizens united.’ As for the out of control, one only need look at how ineffective congressional oversight has been, and is presently, in regards to NSA, example given, and there is no change in sight. As for the insane, one only need look at the USA, and it’s lapdog western democracies, pushing Russia to the brink with geo-political capers recently best illustrated in Ukraine, and how western media lies to the public about what is actually going on. Left unchecked, this insanity will certainly lead to VERY BAD subsequent events.
Now, to alternative media and the so-called ‘progressive’ movement, here’s why I wouldn’t touch any online platform, despite examples such as the ‘indomitable’ Guardian subscribe to ‘SecureDrop.’
To begin with, directing leaks to electronics communications platforms is playing to the NSA’s strong point, this area of expertise is SIGINT (signals intelligence), the NSA forte. No matter the encryption expertise involved in any platform’s construction, it is an invitation to play in the lion’s den. Be assured, the NSA (not to mention GCHQ and other intelligence agencies) will assign crack teams to SecureDrop (if ‘securedrop’ were not actually designed by these.)
The Guardian (newspaper) is an organization that would be very deliberately targeted by HUMINT (human intelligence) as a matter of fact. Organizations wishing to penetrate, spy, shape dialogue & policy within the Guardian would include MOSSAD, CIA, DGSE (France) and the British intelligence agencies. Each of these agencies will have a vested interest in covert penetration of the Guardian on account of that paper not having been (yet) entirely monopolized by any one of the Western intelligence agencies (which squabble & compete among themselves.) Anything, were it sent through the pretense of a so-called secure system, is at risk of exposure to clandestine a rabbit warren designed by spies within the Guardian organization. Trust me, they’re there. MOSSAD particularly, would be interested in any information it could potentially acquire, as ‘chits’ to trade to the USA (and other nations) for political favors, as its political currency continues in steady decline over West Bank issues. Just because you possibly managed a ‘secure’ leak (in your dreams) over the SecureDrop system, does not mean you are secure, not by a long shot, because you cannot know how the material might be compromised after it has been put through, let alone whether the system itself is penetrated/designed to identify the source point of the upload and MOSSAD trades YOU in a quid pro quo with another agency.
And now to the odious (closing) aspect of this essay.
“You can imagine my surprise when I read the June 13, 1971, issue of the Sunday New York Times and saw there among the “Pentagon Papers” a number of basic information papers that had been in my own files in the Joint Chiefs of Staff area of the Pentagon. Most of the papers of that period had been source documents from which I had prepared dozens — even hundreds — of briefings, for all kinds of projects, to be given to top Pentagon officers. Not only had many of those papers been in my files, but I had either written many of them myself or had written certain of the source documents used by the men who did.
“Many people have been so concerned about what has been happening to our Government that they have dedicated themselves to investigating and exposing its evils. Unfortunately, a number of these writers have been dupes of those cleverer than they or with sinister reasons for concealing knowledge. They have written what they thought was the truth, only to find out (if they ever did find out) that they had been fed a lot of contrived cover stories and just plain hogwash
“In the hands of Allen Dulles, “secrecy” was simply a chameleon device to be used as he saw fit and to be applied to lesser men according to his schemes. It is quite fantastic to find people like Daniel Ellsberg being charged with leaking official secrets simply because the label on the piece of paper said “TOP SECRET,” when the substance of many of the words written on those same papers was patently untrue and no more than a cover story. Except for the fact that they were official “lies”, these papers had no basis in fact, and therefore no basis to be graded TOP SECRET or any other degree of classification
“Any reader of the “Pentagon Papers” should be warned that although they were commissioned on June 17, 1967, by the Secretary of Defense as “the history of United States involvement in Vietnam from World War II [Sept 2, 1945] to the present” [1968], they are unreliable, inaccurate and marred by serious omissions. They are a contrived history, at best, even though they were written by a selected Task Force under Pentagon leadership” -Pentagon liaison to the CIA, L. Fletcher Prouty
In fact the so-called ‘Pentagon Papers’ were intended to deflect attention from the CIA and onto the military, concerning policy failures in Vietnam.
Open source analysis profiles (STRONGLY) Daniel Ellsberg as an intelligence agency officer, almost certainly CIA. What the CIA edits at wikipedia doesn’t inform of, when the public is fed…
“Ellsberg served in the Pentagon from August 1964 under Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara (and, in fact, was on duty on the evening of the Gulf of Tonkin incident, reporting the incident to McNamara). He then served for two years in Vietnam working for General Edward Lansdale as a civilian in the State Department”
…is Ellsberg’s work for Edward Lansdale at Department of State has CIA information operations written all over it. One of CIA’s big tasks is information operations or social engineering via psychological manipulation of entire populations. And Ellsberg was working with one of the CIA’s true big shots in this area of intelligence expertise. The ultimate purpose of the ‘Pentagon Papers’ leak was information operations (social engineering) to shield the CIA from public accountability for the massive intelligence & related policy failures in Vietnam; by shifting public focus onto the Pentagon. The CIA was expendable and could have been disbanded. The Pentagon could not be done away with.
“That I had written parts of some of them proves that they were not genuine Pentagon papers, because my work at that time was devoted to support of the CIA” -L Fletcher Prouty
Colonel Prouty blew the whistle on the CIA & Ellsberg over 40 years ago. Colonel Prouty’s work, which has borne the test of time, is buried, meanwhile, whistle-blower ‘legend’ Ellsberg invites leakers into the SecureDrop cobra’s lair… as you actually believe the initial SecureDrop developer, Aaron Schwartz, hanged himself (and his co-developer’ ‘died’ after that.) Probably, it’s a case of, examples given, Gary Webb shot himself in the headTWICE (Superman could do that.) It’s an old model, for instance when Eli Black had stepped into longtime CIA turf at United Fruit, he was framed with an SEC investigation and a subsequently ‘depressed’ Eli broke an industrial strength skyscraper window with his briefcase and ‘jumped’ 44 floors from his office building. No-no, the CIA liaised generals at NSA won’t be allowing certain activities to move forward unimpeded. The only question with ‘SecureDrop’ is, how it has been compromised (since inception or when the source code was stolen, likely about the time Schwartz ‘hanged’ himself.)
Daniel Ellsberg has been a champion of WikiLeaks which has employed SecureDrop via tor (tor is a USA military intelligence tool.)
Ellsberg has promoted SecureDrop for Exposefacts.org.
Has it ever occurred to anyone, as to why, no one has ever outed a ‘Kim Philby‘ type character embedded in the progressive and peace movements, as though intelligence operatives would never caper within that playground? I’ll name you one. Daniel Ellsberg.
“From the beginning, the Pentagon Papers were a compilation of documents designed to paint President John F. Kennedy as the villain of the story, and to shield the role of the CIA” –L Fletcher Prouty
Meanwhile, so-called ‘SecureDrop’ has been leaking the leakers identities for years.
