Confirmed: Alex Jones' popularity rises after Infowars banning from social media

globinfo freexchange We wouldn't expect to be confirmed so fast on this. A few days ago in the article IT and social media supergiants have just made Alex Jones a hero in the eyes of the ultra-conservative audience , we wrote that Alex Jones' wet dream has just become reality thanks to the combined move by Facebook, Apple, YouTube and Spotify to ban Infowars. These private IT and social media companies couldn't give a better gift to him right now. At a time where Infowars was going through a saturated period according to the best scenario, the corporate giants actually saved it with that stupid(?) strategy. Suddenly, a corporate branch of the liberal establishment gave real value to Alex Jones' awful performance, pretending to be the 'anti-establishment' hero - just like Donald Trump - and made him a real hero in the eyes of the ultra-conservative audience that has been brainwashed by his absurd conspiracy theories. Only a couple of days later

Haaretz reports Israel targeting civilians in Gaza as “collective punishment”

A newspaper article published in the Hebrew-language version of Israeli newspaper Haaretz has stated that the Israeli military (IDF) is intentionally targeting civilians in Gaza as a form of collective punishment aimed at placing Hamas — which Israel continues to regard as a resistance group, though it has governed Gaza since winning elections there in 2007 — “ in a problematic situation. ” The article states that, after a rocket launched by Hamas’ armed wing landed in Beersheva, “ the IDF began to attack civilian targets, including population centers, with the goal of causing the residents to understand the price of escalation and placing Hamas in a problematic situation. ” In other words, the article acknowledges that the IDF is deliberately targeting civilians in Gaza to collectively punish all those living in Gaza for the primitive rockets allegedly launched by Hamas into Israeli territory. The article goes on to claim that the IDF’s deliberate targeting of civilian

Meet the mystery fixer who negotiated Syria out of seven years of war

How a nearly unknown businessman named Khaled al Ahmad became Damascus’ secret liaison to the West and quietly dealt Syria’s grinding war to a close by Rania Khalek Part 4 - Obscure origins It remains unclear clear how al Ahmad rose from relative obscurity to become the devil’s advocate. I was told by multiple sources that his ascent was a symptom of Assad’s frustration with the inefficiency of his own system and with the dishonesty of his own advisors. The Syrian leader began to circumvent the official chain of command and appoint informal advisors who reported directly to him. While it was unusual for Assad to select a 30-year-old man who was not part of the security apparatus to be his secret representative abroad, it appears that al Ahmad was elevated into the system by an influential father. There is much confusion about his sect, but his name and the fact that he is described as originally from Homs suggest he is a Sunni Muslim, which surely helped him build bridges

Jo Cox, her assassination, the White Helmets, “humanitarianism,” and regime change

It is no coincidence that some of the world’s most ardent imperialists are behind the cynical exploitation of one heinous murder — of British MP Jo Cox — to enable global mass-murder as well as human trafficking under the pretext of “ethical” and “humanitarian” intervention. by Vanessa Beeley and Whitney Webb Part 6 - Nick Grono and the Clintons Van Oranje is hardly the only Jo Cox Fund co-founder with a well-heeled foothold in the elite camp. Nick Grono, another co-founder of the fund, had worked with Jo Cox at an anti-slavery NGO, the Freedom Fund. Grono, who was appointed the group’s CEO in January of 2014, had also previously served in key posts at the NGO Walk Free, also aimed at ending modern-day slavery. Grono had also been Deputy President and Chief Operating Officer at the cutting edge “conflict resolution and prevention” cartel commonly known as the International Crisis Group (ICG). The ICG board is comprised of a cadre of well-known elites such as

Did Saudi Arabia threatened Canada with a 9/11-type operation?

globinfo freexchange Canada - Saudi Arabia relations have been heavily deteriorated recently due to Canada's decision to condemn clearly and openly the severe violation of human rights in the Arab kingdom. Aaron Mate of the Real News revealed that a kingdom-linked Twitter account has even threatened Canada with a 9/11-type attack through a tweet that had been removed later. As he said: The spat has gotten so heated that a pro-government Twitter account posted a tweet appearing to threaten Canada with a 9/11-style attack. The Saudi account shows a plane flying towards Toronto and it's famed CN Tower with the words " he who interferes with what doesn't concern him finds what doesn't please him ". The tweet also suggests Canada is " sticking one's nose where it doesn't belong ". The tweet was soon deleted. Mate spoke with Saudi analyst Ali Al-Ahmed who claimed that the Twitter account is actually a Saudi government a

Neocons concoct threat of “Iranian hackers” to justify preemptive “counterattack” against Iran

Several reports in both American and Israeli media have recently been circulating the claim that Iran is increasingly likely to respond to draconian U.S.-imposed sanctions by conducting “cyberattacks” against the United States. According to this narrative, “Iranian hackers have laid the groundwork to carry out extensive cyberattacks on U.S. and European infrastructure and on private companies,” prompting the U.S. to consider launching a preemptive “counterattack” in response. Quoting anonymous U.S. government officials, think tanks and “experts,” these articles assert that the sanctions the U.S. re-imposed on Iran this Tuesday are “likely to push that country to intensify state-sponsored cyber-threat activities,” activities that one expert called “the most consequential, costly and aggressive in the history of the internet, more so than Russia.” However, upon closer examination, it is clear that these warnings of an imminent Iranian cyberattack are dubious at best — aim

In a week of deadly airstrikes and civilian deaths, Saudi Arabia adds school bus and 50 Yemeni children to the list

The late morning sun conspired with a cloudless blue sky to picturesquely frame the city of Dhahian in southern Saada province. Suddenly the serenity was broken by the loud piercing shriek of fighter jets over the quiet village, followed by a deafening explosion. When the thick black smoke finally began to dissipate, more than 20 mothers discovered a school bus carrying their children had been transformed into a hellish scene: choking dust, smoldering shops, and the charred corpses of children buried under the mangled school bus. Anguished moans and screams of grief and pain filled the air. At a bed in the Jomhouri Hospital in Saada, four-year-old Mohammed was receiving first aid when he came to the realization that he was still alive but that more than 35 of his classmates, older and younger, lay dead in beds near him as if they were asleep. Others were lying in torn, blood-stained clothing along with school bags, fighting death in the same room. Mohammed was one of the

BBC changes Gaza headline after criticism from Israel

The BBC has been facing a backlash by the Israeli Foreign Ministry on Thursday morning over a story headline that was interpreted as “anti-Israel" and biased. The British changed the title following threats by Israeli officials to take a legal action against them. The headline that read: “Israeli airstrikes kill a woman and a baby,” reported the continuous Israeli airstrikes on Gaza during Wednesday night in which a pregnant woman was killed with her one year old daughter. Several injuries were reported in several parts across the Strip. What outraged the Israeli side is the BBC’s “deliberate lying,” while not mentioning the fact that the Israeli bombing was triggered by the rockets fired from Gaza toward southern Israel as the Israeli media reported, despite Hamas’ denial. One of the very first to criticize the BBC’s choice of title on Twitter was Israel’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Emmanuel Nahshon, who replied on the BBC story’s tweet urging them to chang

Η Σ.Αραβία βομβάρδισε σχολικό λεωφορείο με ανήλικα παιδιά στην Υεμένη

Γεμάτο παιδιά που δεν είχαν κλείσει τα δέκα τους χρόνια ήταν το λεωφορείο που βομβάρδισε η Σαουδική Αραβία στην Υεμένη, στο πλαίσιο των επιχειρήσεων που πραγματοποιεί με την στήριξη και καθοδήγηση του αμερικανικού Πενταγώνου. Το λεωφορείο κινούνταν στα βόρεια της χώρας, σε περιοχή που ελέγχεται από αντάρτες. Σύμφωνα με εκπροσώπους του Ερυθρού Σταυρού, που εργάζονται στην περιοχή, τα νοσοκομεία δέχθηκαν δεκάδες θύματα ενώ τοπικοί αξιωματούχοι κάνουν λόγο για τουλάχιστον 43 νεκρούς και περισσότερους από 60 τραυματίες – σε μεγάλο ποσοστό ανήλικα παιδιά. Οι βομβαρδισμοί που πραγματοποιεί η Σαουδική Αραβία στην Υεμένη από το 2015 έχουν οδηγήσει στο θάνατο τουλάχιστον πέντε χιλιάδες παιδιά και ευθύνονται για μια από τις μεγαλύτερες επιδημίες χολέρας που έχει γνωρίσει η ανθρωπότητα τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες. Σύμφωνα με την ανθρωπιστική οργάνωση Save the Children κάθε ημέρα πεθαίνουν 130 παιδιά στην Υεμένη. Παρόλα αυτά χάρη σε μια επικοινωνιακή εκστρατεία που ξεκίνησε το Ρ

Ε.Ε: Αγνοήστε τον Τραμπ ή θα τιμωρηθείτε

Σε τροχιά εμπορικής και διπλωματικής σύγκρουσης εισέρχονται ΗΠΑ και ΕΕ ύστερα από την έκκληση της Φεντερίκα Μογκερίνι προς τις ευρωπαϊκές εταιρείες να αψηφήσουν τις απειλές του Ντόναλντ Τραμπ και να αυξήσουν τις επιχειρηματικές τους δραστηριότητες στο Ιράν παρά τις αμερικανικές κυρώσεις. Η Ύπατη Εκπρόσωπος της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης για θέματα Εξωτερικής Πολιτικής και Πολιτικής Ασφαλείας σημείωσε ότι η ΕΕ δεν θα αφήσει τη συμφωνία του 2015 για το πυρηνικό πρόγραμμα του Ιράν να πεθάνει και κάλεσε τις ευρωπαϊκές εταιρείες να λάβουν τις δικές τους αποφάσεις. Κλιμακώνοντας μάλιστα την πολιτική της, η ΕΕ αφήνει να εννοηθεί ότι οι εταιρείες που θα σταματήσουν να συνεργάζονται με το Ιράν ενδέχεται να υποστούν κυρώσεις από την Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση. Αυτό δήλωσε η βοηθός της Μονγκερίνι Ματαλι Τόκι μιλώντας στο BBC Radio 4. Με τον τρόπο αυτό « προστατεύουμε τις ευρωπαϊκές επιχειρήσεις » και στέλνουμε « διπλωματικό σήμα στους Ιρανούς ότι οι Ευρωπαίοι είναι σοβαροί στις συμφωνίες τους »
