Facebook hires NATO press officer Ben Nimmo as intelligence chief

It is now difficult to distinguish where the deep state ends and the fourth estate begins and Ben Nimmo’s move from NATO to NATO-aligned think tank to Facebook is just another example of this phenomenon.

Part 1

Ben Nimmo, a former NATO press officer and current senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, has announced Facebook has hired him to “lead global threat intelligence strategy against influence operations” and “emerging threats.” Nimmo specifically named Russia, Iran and China as potential dangers to the platform.

His announcement was greeted with joy by several NATO officials but was not met with such enthusiasm by others. “More censorship on the way as the former NATO press officer turned Pentagon-funded ‘researcher’ who labeled real people as Russian bots and peddled disinformation to link Jeremy Corbyn to Russian active measures moves to big tech,” responded investigative journalist Max Blumenthal.

Nimmo’s questionable past certainly raises questions over whether such an official having a substantial say in what 2.8 billion Facebook users worldwide see in their feeds is such a positive step for the free and open exchange of information.

Yemen VAPORIZES Saudi ARAMCO HQ & Obliterates Every Saudi Airport

Jackson Hinkle Official Saudi Arabia's Civil Aviation Authority now confirms that 12 people were killed and 309 injured in Yemen's strike on King Khalid International Airport. Then the strikes kept coming: Terminal 4 in Riyadh, two hits on Dammam's King Fahd airport in 24 hours, Abha, and reports of eight Saudi airports closing. Saudi Airlines is now racing to move billions of dollars' worth of planes out of harm's way, the Misk Global Forum has been cancelled, and the EU–GCC summit has been postponed. After Saudi Arabia struck Yemeni oil fields, Ansarallah issued evacuation warnings for Aramco's Dhahran headquarters, its main Riyadh refinery and King Khalid airport, and footage then showed the Aramco HQ on fire. Now Riyadh is asking for talks in Oman, Trump says nothing happens until after the midterms, and Hinkle shares what the Yemeni delegation went through to reach Iran for the funeral of Sayyed Ali Khamenei.

Iran & Yemen’s Maritime Trap: How They Control Global Trade

BreakThrough News Saudi Arabia has $142 billion in American weapons. Yemen is the poorest country in the Arab world. So why can't Riyadh win? Last month, Ansar Allah seized Mokha and Perim Island, and with them the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, cutting off Saudi Arabia's alternative oil route around the closed Strait of Hormuz. Mohammed bin Salman begged Trump for US airstrikes, then backed "Dawn of Yemen," a 100-warplane offensive aimed at Sanaa, as crude oil again tops $100 a barrel. Veteran war correspondent and analyst Elijah Magnier joins Rania Khalek and Zoe Alexandra on the Red Sea front, as nearly 1,000 Yemenis have been killed and 184,000 displaced since fighting resumed. But Magnier argues Ansar Allah – often referred to in US media as the Houthis – hasn't lost much ground. He explains why Saudi warplanes are largely powerless in Yemen's mountainous terrain, and why he sees the movement advancing on Taiz and Marib. And Magnier breaks down how Hormuz and Bab ...

Trump & AI Companies Blatantly Meddled in Brazil’s Election to Help the Fascist

The Humanist Report Fascist Flavio Bolsonaro, the son of disgraced insurrectionist ex-president Jair Bolsonaro, came out ahead of leftist President Lula da Silva in Brazil’s election by 2-points. Both candidates will face off in a runoff election in three weeks. Flavio Bolsonaro prevailed, in part, because he enticed Trump to get involved by promising to give American corporations access to Brazil’s natural resources. In other words, Flavio Bolsonaro is willing to sell out his own country for power. Big tech companies also got involved and waged a disinformation campaign to help Bolsonaro. In this video we’ll talk about how Trump and AI companies blatantly meddled with Brazil’s election and talk about why the far right did so well more broadly speaking.

WE LOST”: Lowkey DROPS BOMBSHELL on Trump, Israel & UK’s FAILED War in Yemen

Double Down News The Pentagon’s worst nightmare has just become a reality. For a decade, the US, UK, and their Gulf proxies spent billions dropping state-of-the-art bombs on Yemen to break them into submission. Instead, the poorest nation on earth just paralysed the Western war machine, shut down 12% of global maritime trade, and bankrupted Israel’s strategic southern port. In this exclusive Double Down News documentary, Lowkey exposes the staggering £15 Billion BAE Systems blood scandal, the dark history of Western intervention, and how a starving, besieged nation weaponised its geography to stand in total solidarity with Gaza—and won. The global military-industrial complex is terrified. This is the story the establishment media refuses to tell you.

Οι Αμερικανοί έτοιμοι να εγκαταλείψουν τους Ευρωπαίους συμμάχους τους!

του system failure   Ένα άρθρο που δημοσιεύτηκε στο Foreign Affairs  (ένα από τα σημαντικότερα Αμερικανικά think tank) στις 30 Οκτωβρίου, είναι ιδιαίτερα αποκαλυπτικό όσον αφορά το μέλλον της ΝΑΤΟικής συμμαχίας και ειδικότερα, το μέλλον των Ευρωπαίων συμμάχων των ΗΠΑ. Το άρθρο έχει τίτλο «Μπορεί το Σκανδιναβικό μοντέλο να σώσει το ΝΑΤΟ;» και υπότιτλο «Ένας νέος τρόπος αποτροπής της Ρωσίας» και περιγράφει ένα νέο σχεδιασμό για την συμμαχία υπό την ταμπέλα ΝΑΤΟ 3.0. Ο κεντρικός πυρήνας του άρθρου εκθειάζει ουσιαστικά το Σκανδιναβικό ΝΑΤΟικό παρακλάδι, το οποίο παρουσιάζεται ενισχυμένο μετά την πρόσφατη ένταξη της Φινλανδίας και της Σουηδίας, υποστηρίζοντας λίγο-πολύ, ότι η επιχειρησιακή του ικανότητα έχει βελτιωθεί σε τέτοιο βαθμό, που θα μπορούσε στο άμεσο μέλλον να λειτουργήσει χωρίς την Αμερικανική συνεισφορά, εποπτεία και καθοδήγηση. Άρα, σύμφωνα πάντα με το συγκεκριμένο άρθρο, το Σκανδιναβικό παρακλάδι θα μπορούσε να χρησιμοποιηθεί ως πρότυπο και για άλλα ΝΑΤΟικά παρακλάδι...

Confirmed: US imperialists wanted to drag Russia into a war with Ukraine since at least 2019

globinfo freexchange   As we wrote in our previous article, after almost eight years, the US imperialists and the NATO criminals got what they wanted. They finally managed to drag Russia into a war with Ukraine.     We now have indisputable evidence for that, through a document by the top US think tank, RAND Corporation. In the preface of a 2019 report under the title Extending Russia, Competing from Advantageous Ground we read: [emphasis added]                            The purpose of the project was to examine a range of possible means to extend Russia. By this, we mean nonviolent measures that could stress Russia’s military or economy or the regime’s political standing at home and abroad. The steps we posit would not have either defense or deterrence as their prime purpose, although they might contribute to both. Rather, these steps ar...

How normal human behavior became a false mental disorder epidemic

globinfo freexchange In the early nineties, an epidemic of mental disorder was sweeping America and Britain. It had been uncovered by a new system for identifying disorders. Psychiatry had been attacked for relying on the personal and fallible judgement of psychiatrists. But instead, a new objective method based on checklists had been invented. These listed only the objective symptoms, and deliberately did not enquire into why the individuals felt an anxiety. In the late 80s, nationwide surveys had revealed an incredible picture: more than 50% of Americans suffered from mental disorders. But at the very same, the drug companies had announced that they had created a new type of drug, called an SSRI, which they claimed, targeted the circuits inside the brain that were causing these malfunctions. The SSRIs were marketed under names like "Prozac". What they did was alter the amounts of serotonin that flowed across the circuit connections within the brain, and they...
