Ich traf Jason Lee zum ersten Mal, als er in seiner Heimatstadt Hongkong Jazzkonzerte organisierte. In letzter Zeit hat er mir Facebook-Nachrichten über die Proteste in Hongkong geschickt. Man sollte meinen, dass ein relativ wohlhabender, 43-jähriger Hong Konger die Demonstrationen unterstützen würde, die diese Stadt seit Juni erschüttern. Nun, Sie werden vielleicht von seinen Ansichten überrascht sein.

A large aircraft carrier strike force that the United States sent to the Middle East in May on an accelerated schedule to “deter” Iran has been “steering clear” of the country since arrival, staying as far away as the Arabian Sea for fear of Iranian military strikes in case of a potential conflict.

Saudi Arabia has failed to repel Yemen’s retaliatory drone strikes despite relying on the US Patriot air defense system, a matter which has caused a slump in Saudi troop morale, according to a UAE intelligence report. The UAE report revealed critical weaknesses in Saudi Arabia’s ability to thwart the retaliatory attacks, London-based Middle East Eye (MEE) news outlet reported.

Lebanon’s resistance movement Hezbollah says it has shot down two Israeli drones flying over areas near the capital Beirut.

The Syrian Arab Army’s air defenses repelled an Israeli rocket attack on the surroundings of Damascus before midnight, shooting down most of them before they could reach their targets.

Now, WE (the US) have walked away from the INF Treaty, an agreement that had been in place since the dark days of the Cold War. Its purpose was to prevent the deployment of land based intermediate range nuclear tipped missiles and it served that purpose well.

Little doubt the Romanian and Polish governments have been given bagfulls of money by the US military/security complex, which wants the multi-billion dollar contracts to produce the new missiles. Here we see the extreme irresponsibility of small countries. Without the corrupt and idiotic governments of Romania and Poland, Washington could not resurrect a threat that was buried 31 years ago by Reagan and Gorbachev. Even the American puppet state of occupied Germany has refused to host the missiles.

Zum medialen Spin gehört jetzt, dass Ibizagate wohl doch nichts verändere oder zumindest nicht wesentlich an den Mehrheiten im Parlament drehen wird. Das verkennt aber, dass eine Regierung aus dem Amt geputscht wurde, auch indem man sie mit einer Initialzündung gegeneinander ausspielte. Schon dass nun eine Übergangsregierung im Amt ist und es vorgezogene Neuwahlen gibt, kann man als Regime Change bezeichnen, zumal es sicher bis Jahresnde dauern wird, bis nach der Wahl eine neue Regierung gebildet ist. Es bleibt dann immer noch die Frage, mit welchen Miitteln 2016 Bundeskanzler Werner Faymann aus dem Amt gemobbt wurde und was es bedeutet hätte, wenn Nachfolger Christian Kern bei der Wahl 2017 erfolgreich gewesen wäre. Immer mehr Menschen verstehen aber, dass es auch bei uns einen Schattenstaat gibt und Regierungsmitglieder mit Dienstwagen, Mitarbeitern und Terminkalender vielleicht nicht den Spielraum haben, den sie von der Verfassung her haben müssen. Das gilt auch für eine Übergangsregierung, die tonnenweise Altlasten beseitigen könnte, je nachdem, um welches Ressort es sich handelt. Ibizagate sollte diese Regierung aus dem Amt jagen und eine Neuauflage der Koalition auf lange Sicht verunmöglichen, was nun zu scheitern droht.

Governments and the elitists behind them do not necessarily need to physically cage, drug and brutalize people in order to influence how they behave. All they need to do is manage their perceptions, expectation and assumptions. This can be accomplished with large portions of the public, rather than one person at a time.

«Aside from training militants, the U.S. structures in Syria are involved in plundering oil facilities and deposits in the area across the Euphrates that belongs to the legitimate Syrian government. Lately, U.S. private military companies have been observed to actively beef up their personnel. Today, the mercenaries of the private military companies in Syria exceed 3,500 people» Rudskoi claimed. According to the Russian general these groups of contractors had «organized the production and sale of Syrian oil from the Conaco, Al-Omar and Tanak oilfields located east of the Euphrates River in a criminal scheme to loot the national wealth of Syria». The Moscow official claims that the proceeds of these thefts were «spent on maintaining illegal armed groups, bribing the sheiks of Arab tribal unions and fomenting anti-government sentiments».

In late June 2019, Fox News Channel published a video material, taken in Al-Hol refugee camp in northwestern Syria. On the footage, we can see a group of children under five chanting ISIS slogans. “We will stand on the heads of the apostates and crush them one by one. By the will of Allah, Islamic State caliphate remains,” the kids screamed.

The mainstream media have completely dismissed the Brazilian president’s accusations, claiming that he has no evidence. Is there any plausibility to the claims? Yes, there is. For decades, powerful NGOs linked to high finance have attempted to internationalise the Amazon rainforest. Those attempts have been opposed by successive Brazilian governments.

In the aftermath of the second Democratic primary debate on July 31, Hawaii Rep.
