Prediction of new false-flag gas attack in Syria seems to fit US escalation plans

If a chemical weapons “attack” comes to pass in the place it has been predicted, it would be the first such provocation blamed on Assad to take place in territory occupied by a foreign power, likely triggering an intensified military response from the U.S. by Whitney Webb Part 3 - A step up in false-flag provocation? If a chemical weapons attack is again being planned, as reports suggest, this provocation would likely be more significant than previous such attacks and would likely result in a more drastic response from Western powers. This is because Jafra oil field, where the staged attack is allegedly being planned/staged, lies within the portion of the Deir Ez Zor governorate that is under the control of the United States and its armed proxy group, the SDF. Past chemical weapons attacks that have been blamed on the Syrian government, have all occurred in areas held by Syrian rebel groups, such as Idlib province and Eastern Ghouta. If such an attack comes to

Pro-Hillary type identity politics recruited in favor of CIA's chief torturer by the US neoliberal regime

globinfo freexchange The deeply irrational nature of the neoliberal priesthood shined again in the case of CIA's chief torturer Gina Haspel, widely known as 'bloody Gina'. Through another great campaign, the neoliberal apparatus attempts to smear anyone who opposes 'bloody Gina' as being, for example, misogynist. The method is known: the neoliberal tools highlight that the Central Intelligence Agency will have its first female Director, and, of course, this is something that everyone should welcome as a progressive step forward. Yet, at the same time, through a kind of trick, these tools make Gina's terrible record of tortures and war crimes magically disappear. Well, how about the women who have the courage to condemn Gina's awful record, like the woman in the following video? Are they misogynists too? Or, how about Kamala Harris, who clearly had 'bloody Gina' in the corner for that awful record? I

Ο πραγματικός λόγος που η Ευρώπη δεν θα ακολουθήσει τις ΗΠΑ σε ένα καταστροφικό πόλεμο με το Ιράν

globinfo freexchange Σε προχθεσινή ανάρτηση της ιστοσελίδας του Russia Today , αναφέρεται ότι η Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση σχεδιάζει να σταματήσει τη χρήση του δολαρίου για αγορά πετρελαίου από το Ιράν, μετατρέποντας όλες τις συναλλαγές σε ευρώ. Αναφέρεται επίσης ότι η αποκάλυψη έγινε από διπλωματική πηγή στο επίσης Ρωσικό RIA Novosti. Υπενθυμίζεται ότι, ήδη από τον Απρίλιο (δηλαδή πριν την ακύρωση της συμφωνίας για το πυρηνικό πρόγραμμα του Ιράν από τις ΗΠΑ), το Ιράν είχε ανακοινώσει ότι σταματάει τη χρήση του δολαρίου ως επίσημο νόμισμα αναφοράς ξένων νομισμάτων, αντικαθιστώντας το με το ευρώ. Η απόφαση είχε ως στόχο να ενθαρρύνει κυβερνητικούς οργανισμούς και εταιρίες που συναλλάσσονται με κράτος, να στραφούν προς το ευρώ σε βάρος του δολαρίου. Καθώς το Ιράν αποτελεί μόνιμο στόχο της Αμερικανικής αυτοκρατορίας, εδώ και δεκαετίες, φαίνεται ότι η ηγεσία της χώρας έχει αλλάξει στρατηγική προς μια πιο ευέλικτη εξωτερική πολιτική. Εκτός από τις προσπάθειες που

The real reason Europe will likely not follow Trump towards a devastating war with Iran

globinfo freexchange Recent developments show that Europe was expecting a possible sabotage of the deal for the Iran nuclear program by the US.

Ecuador’s ex-president Rafael Correa denounces treatment of Julian Assange as “torture”

Former Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa, in an exclusive interview with the Intercept on Wednesday morning, denounced his country’s current government’s for blocking Julian Assange from receiving visitors in its Embassy in London as a form of “torture” and a violation of Ecuador’s duties to protect Assange’s safety and well-being. Correa said this took place in the context of Ecuador no longer maintaining “ normal sovereign relations with the American government — just submission. ” Correa also responded to a widely discussed Guardian article yesterday which claimed that “ Ecuador bankrolled a multimillion-dollar spy operation to protect and support Julian Assange in its central London embassy. ” The former President mocked the story as highly “sensationalistic,” accusing the Guardian of seeking to depict routine and modest embassy security measures as something scandalous or unusual. On March 27, Assange’s internet access at the Ecuadorian embassy in London
