Russia’s security services have uncovered 38 cells of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS), whose members were recruiting militants, in 2018, Director of Russia’s Federal Security Service Aleksandr Bortnikov said. In cooperation with foreign law enforcement agencies, “ 70 cells of international terrorist organizations, including 38 IS cells, which recruited young people from Russia and CIS countries and transported them to militant training camps, have been uncovered in 24 regions of our country in 2018, ” he said on Wednesday. The official was speaking at the 17th meeting of chiefs of special services, security and law enforcement agencies of the partner nations, TASS reports. “ A total of 777 active members and abettors of international terrorist organizations, including 36 leaders, have been detained, ” the FSB director added. Bortnikov has also warned that the IS and Al-Qaeda terrorist groups could merge, “ which may result in numerous negative consequences. ”

To get unprecedented access to the Israel lobby’s inner workings, undercover reporter “Tony” posed as a pro-Israel volunteer in Washington. The resulting film exposes the efforts of Israel and its lobbyists to spy on, smear and intimidate US citizens who support Palestinian human rights, especially BDS– the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement. It shows that Israel’s semi-covert black-ops government agency, the Ministry of Strategic Affairs, is operating this effort in collusion with an extensive network of US-based organizations. These include the Israel on Campus Coalition, The Israel Project and the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. The film was suppressed after the government of Qatar came under intense pressure not to release it – ironically from the very same lobby whose influence and antics the film exposes. https://electronicintifada.net/content/watch-film-israel-lobby-didnt-want-you-see/25876 https://electronicintifada.

On 20 August 2018, the Greek government of Alexis Tsipras, the IMF and the European leaders celebrated the end of the Third Memorandum. On this occasion, the major media and those in power spread the following message: Greece has regained its freedom, its economy is improving, unemployment is on the decline, Europe has lent Greece 300 billion and the Greeks will have to start repaying that debt in 2022 or in 2032. The main claims are completely unfounded as Greece remains under the control of its creditors. In compliance with the accords that the Alexis Tsipras government signed, the country must imperatively achieve a primary budgetary surplus of 3.5% which will force it to continue brutal policies of reduction of public spending in the social sector and in investment. Contrary to the dominant message that Greece will not begin to repay its debt until some time in the future, it should be clearly understood that Greece has been repaying considerable amounts constantly

Donald Trump’s economic advisers released a bizarre report attacking socialism yesterday. Socialists can only take one lesson from it: we’re winning. by Miles Kampf-Lassin Part 2 - The Ghost of Thatcher The report frames its critique of socialism by quoting former UK prime minister Margaret Thatcher’s oft-cited claim that “ Socialist governments … always run out of other people’s money, ” and thus the way to prosperity is for the state to give “ the people more choice to spend their own money in their own way. ” It’s appropriate that the authors take the Iron Lady’s words as gospel, since she was similarly distressed by “creeping socialism” and used her time in power to push neoliberal economic policies of deregulation, privatization, and austerity coupled with attacks on voting rights and organized labor. The ruthless ideology grounding Thatcher’s market-centric economic philosophy, “monetarism,” was revealed by Alan Budd, one of her economic advisers, in 1992 w

In the six weeks before Khashoggi’s disappearance, MBS not only managed to anger the U.S. military-industrial complex but the world’s most powerful bankers. by Whitney Webb Part 4 - Trouble in neoliberal paradise While it is impossible to know MBS’ exact reason for getting cold feet in his once-ambitious plans to privatize the kingdom, we can guess. Indeed, there is a reason that MBS’ elders in the Saudi Royal family have long rejected neoliberal reforms and the mass privatization of their economy. A 2016 report from Foreign Policy succinctly states why past Saudi Royals have avoided “free-market reforms” as the older generations of the House of Saud “ understand the fragility of a monarchy whose brittle pillars rest on the quiescence of conservative clerics and a merchant class hostile to the free-market reforms that will undercut their privileges. ” However, far more Saudis than just the “merchant class” have grown accustomed to the largesse of the Saudi state, as

Only by masking their otherwise unpopular policies in the cloak of Jo Cox’s tragedy, and humanity’s natural empathy for good samaritans and the downtrodden, has this small group of powerful individuals been able to launder disastrous wars and military adventurism as “the right thing to do.” by Vanessa Beeley and Whitney Webb Part 5 - The many hats of Pierre Omidyar Undeniably a formidable force in the promotion of the “Jo Cox Four” and the White Helmets, Jeffrey Skoll is not the only eBay billionaire involved in manufacturing consent for Syria regime change or in promoting the activities of the founding members of the Jo Cox Foundation. Indeed, Pierre Omidyar — the founder of eBay who was responsible for hiring Skoll and allowing him to amass his fortune — also shares many of the same connections to these individuals and the “humanitarian” regime change network currently exploiting the death of Jo Cox. Like Skoll, Omidyar is also increasingly well-connected to the U.

Μαρτυρία διασώστη στο Tvxs Φωτεινή Λαμπρίδη Το λιμενικό της Λιβύης πυροβολούσε τα διασωστικά καράβια «Δίνουν τα χρήματα λοιπόν και ξεκινάει το λιμενικό τον Φλεβάρη του 2017 να βγαίνει επιθετικά στη θάλασσα . Αισθανόντουσαν τόσο ενισχυμένοι από την εξουσία που τους έδωσε η ΕΕ, που παρενοχλούσαν συστηματικά τα καράβια. Δεν δίσταζαν να μας απειλούν ευθέως. Είχαμε περιστατικά που πυροβολούσαν απευθείας οι λιμενικοί τα διασωστικά καράβια. Σφαίρες ευθείες στη γέφυρα. Άλλο καράβι δέχτηκε ρεσάλτο, μπήκαν μέσα με τα όπλα. Σε εμάς επιτέθηκαν με όπλα να πάρουν τους ανθρώπους που διασώσαμε. Όταν κατάλαβαν οι πρόσφυγες ότι τους επιστρέφουν πίσω στη Λιβύη, έπεσαν στο νερό να πνιγούν. Οι λιμενικοί τους έβλεπαν να κρέμονται από τα σχοινιά μας και τους έσπρωχναν να πνιγούν. Αυτή τη "διάσωση" χρηματοδοτεί η ΕΕ». https://tvxs.gr/news/eyropi-eop/martyria-diasosti-sto-tvxsgr-i-ee-xrimatodotei-symmories-gia-na-katastelloyn-prosfyg [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [

Γιώργος Στάμκος Μέρος 3ο - “Σχέδιο Κ”: Τα αεροσκάφη δεν πέταξαν, τα υποβρύχια δεν απέπλευσαν... Ανάμεσα στα άλλα το “Σχέδιο Κ” προέβλεπε επιθετική συνδρομή στην άμυνα της Κύπρου και μιας Μοίρας 20 πολεμικών αεροσκαφών F-84 Φάντομ, η οποία από της 18 Ιουλίου βρισκόταν σε ετοιμότητα στο αεροδρόμιο Καστελίου Κρήτης για να βρίσκεται πιο κοντά (απόσταση 600 χλμ.). Αυτή η Μοίρα προβλεπόταν να προσβάλει “εφ’ άπαξ” την αποβατική δύναμη των Τούρκων με βόμβες, ρουκέτες και πολυβόλα, σε συνδυασμό με την προώθηση τουλάχιστον ενός ελληνικού υποβρυχίου στην Κύπρο, προς ενίσχυση και συμβολή στην καταστροφή της αμφίβιας εχθρικής δύναμης. Επειδή τα καύσιμα δεν θα επαρκούσαν για την επιστροφή των αεροσκαφών στη βάση τους, θα έπρεπε αναγκαστικά να προσγειωθούν σε αεροδρόμια της νότιας Κύπρου ή της Ρόδου και, σε απόλυτη ανάγκη, στο αεροδρόμιο της Βηρυτού ή του Τελ Αβίβ! Επίσης για την άμυνα της Κύπρου προβλεπόταν από το “Σχέδιο Κ” η στρατιωτική δράση τουλάχιστον ενός υποβρυχίου τύπου 209, γε

globinfo freexchange Another suspicious poll came out to promote various establishment options against Bernie Sanders. As the H ill reports: President Trump trails Michelle Obama, Oprah and Sen.

globinfo freexchange Μια εφ'όλης της ύλης αποκαλυπτική συνέντευξη έδωσε ο γραμματέας της Λαϊκής Ενότητας, Παναγιώτης Λαφαζάνης, στο Κρήτη TV και τον δημοσιογράφο Γιώργο Σαχίνη. Ειδικότερα για τις σχέσεις με τη Ρωσία, ο Λαφαζάνης τόνισε: Η Ρωσία ατύπως και υπογείως έχει βοηθήσει πάρα πολύ την Ελλάδα στα ελληνοτουρκικά. Σε όλα τα θέματα που αφορούν τα θαλάσσια δικαιώματα, ή, τις αντιπαραθέσεις που γίνονται, η Ρωσία ποτέ δεν έχει πάρει το μέρος της Τουρκίας – και τώρα ακόμα. Και επίσης, η Ρωσία ήταν το βασικό στήριγμα - και παραμένει παρά τις δυσκολίες - της Κύπρου. Η Κύπρος αν δεν έχει γίνει Τουρκική σατραπεία, οφείλεται στη Ρωσία. Η Ρωσία εμπόδισε να περάσει, με βέτο που έβαλε – τρία, τέσσερα βέτο έχει βάλει στη μετασοβιετική περίοδο η Ρωσία, τα δύο είναι για την Κύπρο. Ένα για να μη φύγουν τα ειρηνευτικά στρατεύματα του ΟΗΕ και το δεύτερο, για να μην περάσει από το Συμβούλιο Ασφαλείας το Σχέδιο Ανάν. Αν είχε περάσει από το Συμβούλιο Ασφαλείας το Σχέδιο Ανάν τό
