theduran--2020-12-19--How U.S. Government Paid-Off Its Super-Rich

On December 14th , two excellent news-reports were belatedly published about some of the massive corruption that was behind the initial U.S. federal coronavirus-relief law , the CARES Act , and about U.S .
Senators of both Parties now intending to include such corruption in the next one .
( NOTE : This present news-report may be viewed as a confirmation , and a further explanation , of what I was predicting in my article on April 22nd , “ Why Post-Coronavirus America Will Have Massive Poverty ” .
What that was predicting is being confirmed in the two recent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Regarding the CARES Act , J. Robert Downen headlined in the Houston Chronicle on December 14th , “ Joel Osteen ’ s Lakewood Church got $ 4.4 million in federal PPP loans ” , and he reported that “ Lakewood received a $ 4.4 million loan through the Paycheck Protection Program , a part of the federal CARES Act that provided loans to pay employee wages or for other basic operational costs such as utilities .
The program marked the first time federal lawmakers allowed for direct financial assistance to houses of worship @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Texas received hundreds of millions of dollars to retain a combined 59,000 jobs , the Chronicle reported in July.
” At around the start of the coronavirus-epidemic , the Texas state government had announced , on 24 January 2020 , that “ Our workforce continues to grow and is now 14,188,100 Texans strong ” , and this means that the CARES Act ’ s breaking-of-precedent ( “ the first time federal lawmakers allowed for direct financial assistance to houses of worship ” ) was helping to retain employment for one two-hundred-and-fortieth of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t even possibly have produced any significant impact upon the rate of unemployment in Texas , but only improved the re-election chances of public officials in Texas , by its purchasing from Texas ’ s preachers ( who have lots of political clout in that state ) a more favorable attitude toward those incumbent governmental office-holders , who had provided this largesse , upon their special interest .
Downen ’ s article also listed 16 Texas corporations ( such as “ Percheron Holdings LLC ” ) which had been given federal loans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and , so , the federal Government ’ s largesse wasn ’ t only to ‘ non-profits ’ , nor to religious organizations .
However , if the actual intention of the CARES Act had been to help workers instead of to help their bosses , then nothing would have been funneled through the corporation down to its workers , but everything would instead have been paid directly to each individual worker , and any corporation that was suffering losses during the epidemic could separately have applied to the U.S. Small Business Administration @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for that corporation ( or church , or etc . )
to be able to stay in business , if they otherwise would have gone bust .
In other words : all CARES-Act monies that went to corporations were funneling their benefits to workers by way of and through their employers , and thus were really political pay-offs to the richest , in order for political incumbents to be able to retain their seats as governmental officials .
A ‘ democracy ’ like this is actually a kleptocracy .
And that news-report in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2020 ‘ election ’ , not before it .
So : it was no help to voters in preparation for the November ‘ elections ’ .
Also on December 14th , the great investigative journalist David Sirota ’ s blog headlined “ SCOOP : Stimulus Bill Bails Out Defense Contractors , Denies Direct Payments to Families ” and reported that , “ Buried in the new 525-page stimulus bill is a provision granting military contractors benefits that are being denied to workers and small businesses across the country.
” He and his reporter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Earlier this year , Republican senators slammed the idea of spending money to pay Americans not to work during the pandemic .
Only a few months later , a group of GOP senators has signed onto stimulus legislation that would authorize the government to pay idle defense contractors to not work , even as those contractors rack up big profits during the pandemic .
Meanwhile , the same bill excludes bipartisan provisions authorizing direct payments to millions of Americans struggling to survive.
” They reported that Democratic Party leaders in Congress ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Senator Joe Manchin ) were quietly working in the background in order to be able to pass this new corruption into law , and were no less corrupt than their bolder Republican colleagues were in in whoring themselves to ‘ defense ’ contractors — the “ Military-Industrial Complex ” or “ MIC , ” which basically writes America ’ s international sanctions , and other U.S. foreign policies , so as to maximize the global sales of U.S.-made military weaponry .
All of this news is “ belated , ” however , unless @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , such as the Washington Post and the New York Times and CNN and Fox and ABC and CBS and NBC and The Atlantic — all of which are owned and controlled by America ’ s fewer than 1,000 billionaires — will decide ( which they never yet have done ) to make a public issue out of the real issue here , which is the question of whether or not funneling public benefits through employers constitutes anything else than the corruption of any democracy and the installation of an aristocracy of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by a dictatorship of the aristocrats .
This is a fundamental issue , and it is always being simply avoided , banned to publish .
( In fact , a recent law-review article , which was titled “ The ‘ Small Business ’ Myth of the Paycheck Protection Program ” , actually defended what had happened by saying that that program , which is commonly acronymed “ PPP , ” had been sold to the public as being intended to protect workers in small businesses , but never was intended to do that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ misinformed condemnation of large companies obscured the fact that Congress had designed a flawed program with limited ability to help small businesses.
” But it wasn ’ t ‘ misinformed ’ , and these weren ’ t merely ‘ flaws ’ .
In fact , lobbyists for huge corporations had heavily lobbied and paid Representatives and Senators to lard the entire CARES Act with huge give-aways to large corporations and to the investors in those corporations ; and , as a result , Wall Street boomed even while unemployment soared .
“ Congress @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they were being paid to produce those “ flaws ” in it .
Academia is , itself , often either grossly incompetent , or else part of the corruption , and therefore it should be viewed as being part of the ‘ news ’ -media , itself — in other words : propaganda . )

On December 14th, two excellent news-reports were belatedly published about some of the massive corruption that was behind the initial U.S. federal coronavirus-relief law, the CARES Act, and about U.S. Senators of both Parties now intending to include such corruption in the next one. (NOTE: This present news-report may be viewed as a confirmation, and a further explanation, of what I was predicting in my article on April 22nd, “Why Post-Coronavirus America Will Have Massive Poverty”. What that was predicting is being confirmed in the two recent news-reports that are cited here.)
Regarding the CARES Act, J. Robert Downen headlined in the Houston Chronicle on December 14th, “Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church got $4.4 million in federal PPP loans”, and he reported that “Lakewood received a $4.4 million loan through the Paycheck Protection Program, a part of the federal CARES Act that provided loans to pay employee wages or for other basic operational costs such as utilities. The program marked the first time federal lawmakers allowed for direct financial assistance to houses of worship. … More than 1,000 religious groups in Texas received hundreds of millions of dollars to retain a combined 59,000 jobs, the Chronicle reported in July.”
At around the start of the coronavirus-epidemic, the Texas state government had announced, on 24 January 2020, that “Our workforce continues to grow and is now 14,188,100 Texans strong”, and this means that the CARES Act’s breaking-of-precedent (“the first time federal lawmakers allowed for direct financial assistance to houses of worship”) was helping to retain employment for one two-hundred-and-fortieth of employed Texans, and therefore it couldn’t even possibly have produced any significant impact upon the rate of unemployment in Texas, but only improved the re-election chances of public officials in Texas, by its purchasing from Texas’s preachers (who have lots of political clout in that state) a more favorable attitude toward those incumbent governmental office-holders, who had provided this largesse, upon their special interest.
Downen’s article also listed 16 Texas corporations (such as “Percheron Holdings LLC”) which had been given federal loans of at least $10,000,000 each; and, so, the federal Government’s largesse wasn’t only to ‘non-profits’, nor to religious organizations.
However, if the actual intention of the CARES Act had been to help workers instead of to help their bosses, then nothing would have been funneled through the corporation down to its workers, but everything would instead have been paid directly to each individual worker, and any corporation that was suffering losses during the epidemic could separately have applied to the U.S. Small Business Administration after-the-fact, for loan-assistance, in order for that corporation (or church, or etc.) to be able to stay in business, if they otherwise would have gone bust.
In other words: all CARES-Act monies that went to corporations were funneling their benefits to workers by way of and through their employers, and thus were really political pay-offs to the richest, in order for political incumbents to be able to retain their seats as governmental officials. A ‘democracy’ like this is actually a kleptocracy. And that news-report in the Houston Chronicle appeared only after the 2020 ‘election’, not before it. So: it was no help to voters in preparation for the November ‘elections’.
Also on December 14th, the great investigative journalist David Sirota’s blog headlined “SCOOP: Stimulus Bill Bails Out Defense Contractors, Denies Direct Payments to Families” and reported that, “Buried in the new 525-page stimulus bill is a provision granting military contractors benefits that are being denied to workers and small businesses across the country.” He and his reporter Julia Rock opened by noting that, “Earlier this year, Republican senators slammed the idea of spending money to pay Americans not to work during the pandemic. Only a few months later, a group of GOP senators has signed onto stimulus legislation that would authorize the government to pay idle defense contractors to not work, even as those contractors rack up big profits during the pandemic. Meanwhile, the same bill excludes bipartisan provisions authorizing direct payments to millions of Americans struggling to survive.” They reported that Democratic Party leaders in Congress (especially West Virginia’s U.S. Senator Joe Manchin) were quietly working in the background in order to be able to pass this new corruption into law, and were no less corrupt than their bolder Republican colleagues were in in whoring themselves to ‘defense’ contractors — the “Military-Industrial Complex” or “MIC,” which basically writes America’s international sanctions, and other U.S. foreign policies, so as to maximize the global sales of U.S.-made military weaponry.
All of this news is “belated,” however, unless the major American ‘news’-media, such as the Washington Post and the New York Times and CNN and Fox and ABC and CBS and NBC and The Atlantic — all of which are owned and controlled by America’s fewer than 1,000 billionaires — will decide (which they never yet have done) to make a public issue out of the real issue here, which is the question of whether or not funneling public benefits through employers constitutes anything else than the corruption of any democracy and the installation of an aristocracy of the super-rich replacing that democracy of the people by a dictatorship of the aristocrats. This is a fundamental issue, and it is always being simply avoided, banned to publish. (In fact, a recent law-review article, which was titled “The ‘Small Business’ Myth of the Paycheck Protection Program”, actually defended what had happened by saying that that program, which is commonly acronymed “PPP,” had been sold to the public as being intended to protect workers in small businesses, but never was intended to do that. This article claimed that “The misinformed condemnation of large companies obscured the fact that Congress had designed a flawed program with limited ability to help small businesses.” But it wasn’t ‘misinformed’, and these weren’t merely ‘flaws’. In fact, lobbyists for huge corporations had heavily lobbied and paid Representatives and Senators to lard the entire CARES Act with huge give-aways to large corporations and to the investors in those corporations; and, as a result, Wall Street boomed even while unemployment soared. “Congress had designed a flawed program” because they were being paid to produce those “flaws” in it. Academia is, itself, often either grossly incompetent, or else part of the corruption, and therefore it should be viewed as being part of the ‘news’-media, itself — in other words: propaganda.)
Perhaps all of America’s ‘news’-media ought to be nationalized and donated to a public trust which is headed by a board of directors which consists of 100 certifiably low-income Americans who are otherwise (than their being in the lowest-wealth category) selected randomly from the general population, and who will, then, in turn, select and fire the top officials of all of the nation’s largest twenty media corporations, so as to make the news-media accurately inform the general public, instead of to continue deceiving the public in the ways that the super-rich — both liberal and conservative — collectively want the public to be deceived. Maybe that would do it. Maybe that would restore democracy, to the United States of America. Democracy is impossible without there being an accurately informed public. And, in the U.S., the public is instead systematically deceived, so as to hide from them what the billionaires of both of the nation’s political Parties want the public not to know, or not to understand. That can’t be a democracy.
In an aristocracy, everything is just a racket. Even a covid-19 relief bill is.

Replacing other payments and contracts for civilians … a new form of “trade” for sending Syrian militants to Libya

The leaders of the pro-Ankara Syrian armed factions began to adopt a new method in the transfer of their members to Libya , indicating that this process has clearly turned into a “ trade ” based on the leaders ’ exploitation of the salaries provided by Turkey .
Although the ceasefire agreement in Libya provides for the withdrawal of foreign militants from the country , Turkey started in the first days of implementing the agreement only , to return the Syrian militants , after which this matter stopped , and followed the method of replacing the batches of the militants @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Syria , i.e .
That the presence of these fighters is still the same .
Sources indicated that as a result of this Turkish method based on switching between the militants without returning everyone to Syria , the leaders of the armed factions began to exploit this matter , with the fact that the hostilities in Libya ended , to turn the militants ’ dispatches into a trade based on patronage and whoever pays the most in return .
His name was put on the lists of those heading to Libya .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of transferring militants to Libya is no longer limited to those who fight and carry weapons .
Rather , it includes some civilians , who are lured by some leaders with monthly salaries of $ 2000 / US dollars , and they are required to pay sums of money in exchange for putting their name on the lists .
Moving to Libya .
” The sources added that “ some leaders of the factions promise these civilians that their work in Libya will be limited to guarding only , without any hostilities , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the ceasefire agreement , so that these leaders turn to their business dealers more like the work of foreign job-insurance offices.
” The sources also noted that “ this matter also includes relatives of the leaders of the factions , whose names are placed on the lists of those moving to Libya with the aim of material benefit from Turkish salaries , since there are no longer any hostilities there.
” The sources emphasized that this new trade is monopolized by leaders from the “ Hamzat ” , “ Suleiman Shah ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Legion of Sham ” factions , noting that those wishing to travel to Libya from the rest of the factions in the aforementioned way , they can not do so before bribing certain people .

During his last year in office, American President Dwight Eisenhower’s primary goal was called a “Crusade for Peace.” He was the former Allied military commander during World War II and developed a friendship with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, who also played a key role in the Allied victory. They had several friendly meetings and planned for a détente resulting deep cuts in military spending. A meeting was scheduled for May 14, 1960 in Paris where a major disarmament agreement would be signed. Many powerful men in Washington DC opposed peace and four conspired to sabotage this agreement. Two weeks before this meeting, they ordered an unauthorized U-2 spy flight over key bases in the center of the Soviet Union. Its pilot was captured after crash landing his aircraft because its fuel was sabotaged.

theduran--2020-12-20--Today’s China Espionage Scandals Revive the Gouzenko Hoax That Unleashed the Cold War

Today , a new coordinated psychological operation has been sprung to convince every living patriot across the Five Eyes sphere of influence that the enemy of the free world who lurks behind every conspiracy to overthrow governments , and western values is…China .
Over the past weeks , a surge in slanderous , and often conjectural stories of Chinese subversion has repeatedly been fed to a gullible western audience desperate for an enemy image to attach to their realization that an obvious long-term conspiracy has been unleashed to destroy their lives .
While the left has been fed with propaganda @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has taken the form of the Kremlin , the conservative consumers of media have been fed with the narrative that the enemy is China .
The reality is that both Russia and China together have a bond of principled survival upon which the entire multipolar order is based .
It is this alliance which the actual controllers of today ’ s empire wish to both destroy and ensure no western nation joins… especially not the USA .
Every day we read that secret lists of millions of Chinese communist party members have infiltrated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pots have targeted anti-Trump politicans in California , or that Chinese military are conducting operations in Canada , or that China intentionally created COVID-19 and deployed it around the world to subvert the western liberal order .
In all cases , the stories pumped out by mainstream media rags reek of 1 ) Five Eyes propaganda psy-op techniques , and often unverified accusations , while 2 ) deflecting from the actually verifiable British Intelligence tentacles caught repeatedly shaping world events , regime change , infiltration , assassination and conspiracies for over a century @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a color revolution .
Among the most destructive of these conspiracies orchestrated by British Intelligence during the past century was the artificial creation of the Cold War which destroyed the hopes for a multipolar world of win-win collaboration guided by a U.S.-China-Russia alliance as envisioned by FDR and Henry Wallace .
When reviewing how this perversion of history was manufactured , it is important to hold firmly in mind the parallels to the current anti-China/anti-Russian operations now underway .
Historians widely acknowledge that the actual catalyst for the Cold War occurred not on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on September 5 , 1945 .
It was at this moment that a 26-year-old cipher clerk left the Soviet Embassy in Ottawa with a list of code names for supposed spies planted within the British , Canadian and American governments controlled by the Kremlin .
In total this young defector took telegram notes attributed to his boss Colonel Zabotin and 108 other strategic documents that supposedly proved the existence of this Soviet conspiracy to the world for the first time .
The young clerk ’ s name was Igor Gouzenko , and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only created one of the greatest abuses of civil liberties in Canadian history , but a sham trial based on little more than hearsay and conjecture .
In fact , when the six microfilms of evidence were finally declassified in 1985 , not a single document turned out be worthy of the name ( more to be said on that below ) .
The outcome of the Gouzenko Affair resulted in the collapse of all U.S.-Canada-Russia alliances that had been fostered during fires of anti-fascist combat of WWII .
Voices like Henry Wallace @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the collapse of potential amidst the anti-Communist hysteria and sounded the alarm loudly saying : “ Fascism in the postwar inevitably will push steadily for Anglo-Saxon imperialism and eventually for war with Russia .
Already American fascists are talking and writing about this conflict and using it as an excuse for their internal hatreds and intolerances toward certain races , creeds and classes.
” In “ Soviet Mission Asia , ” Wallace revealed the true agenda for the conspiracy that would infiltrate nation states of the west and orchestrate the next 75 years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blood of our boys is scarcely dry on the field of battle , these enemies of peace try to lay the foundation for World War III .
These people must not succeed in their foul enterprise .
We must offset their poison by following the policies of Roosevelt in cultivating the friendship of Russia in peace as well as in war.
” This fight against those actual top-down controllers of fascism whom Wallace had bravely put into the spotlight would sadly not prove successful .
Between 1945 and the collapse of Wallace ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1948 , those strongest anti-Cold War voices both in the USA and in Canada were promptly labelled “ Russian agents ” and saw their reputations , careers and freedoms destroyed under the CIA-FBI managed spectre of the Red Scare and later McCarthyism .
In Canada , Wallace ’ s Progressive Party co-thinkers took the form of the Labor Progressive Party ( LPP ) then led by Member of Parliament Fred Rose , LPP leader Tim Buck and LPP National Organizer Sam Carr- all three would represent the anti-Cold War fight to save FDR @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of whom would figure prominently in the story of Igor Gouzenko .
When Prime Minister King heard those claims made by Gouzenko , he knew that it threatened the post war hopes for global reconstruction and for this reason was very hesitant to make the unverifiable claims public for many months or even offer the defector sanctuary for that matter .
After the story was eventually strategically leaked to American media , anti-communist hysteria skyrocketed forcing King to establish the Gouzenko Espionage Royal Commission on February 5 , 1946 under Privy Council Order @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had already been passed extending the War Measures Act beyond the end of the war and permitting for detention incommunicado , psychological torture and removing Habeus Corpus of all those who would be accused of espionage .
By February 15 , 1946 the first 15 targets were arrested and held for weeks in isolation in Ottawa ’ s Rockliffe Military Barracks without access to family or legal counsel .
All those arrested without charge suffered weeks of psychological torture , sleep deprivation and were put on suicide watch with no communication with anyone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Both Judges who presided over the show trial were rewarded with Orders of Canada and were made Supreme Court Justices in the wake of the affair .
With a complete disregard for any notion of civil liberties ( Canada still had no Bill of Rights ) , lead counsel E.K .
Williams blatantly argued for the creation of the Royal Commission “ because it need not be bound by the ordinary rules of evidence if it considers it desirable to disregard them .
It need not permit counsel to appear for those to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
During the show trial , none of the defendants were allowed to see any evidence being used against them and everyone involved including RCMP officers were threatened with 5 years imprisonment for speaking about the trial publicly .
The only person who could speak and write boundlessly to the media was the figure of Igor Gouzenko himself .
Whenever appearing on TV or in court , Gouzenko who was to charge over $ 1000 for some interviews and received generous book deals , and government pensions for life , always appeared masked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Even though this cipher clerk never actually met any of the figures standing trial , his testimony against them was treated like gold .
By June 27 , 1946 the Royal Commission released its final 733 page report which , along with Gouzenko ’ s own books , became the sole unquestionable gospel used and re-used by journalists , politicians and historians for the next decades as proof of the vast Russian plot to undermine western values and steal atomic secrets .
There was in fact nowhere else to go for a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to figure out what actually occurred .
As it so happened , all trial records were either destroyed or “ lost ” in the days after the commission disbanded , and if people wanted to look at the actual evidence they would have to wait 40 years when it was finally declassified .
The result of the trials ?
By the end of the whole sordid affair , 10 of the 26 arrested were convicted and imprisoned for anywhere from 3-7 years .
While these convictions are themselves often cited as “ proof @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been valid , on closer inspection we find that this is merely the effect of a game of smoke and mirrors .
It must first be noted that of the 10 found guilty , not one indictment or conviction of espionage was found .
Instead , five defendants were found guilty of assisting in the acquisition of fake passports during the 1930s which were used by Canadian volunteers to fight with the MacKenzie-Papineau Battalions in the Spanish Civil War against Franco ’ s fascist coup while the other five were convicted of violating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ WWII entirely on Gouzenko ’ s testimony .
The other 16 targets were released without ever having been charged of a crime .
The two leaders of the supposed spy ring that received the longest sentences were Labor Progressive Party leaders Fred Rose and Sam Carr who had been the loudest advocates of FDR ’ s international New Deal and the exposure of the financial sponsors of fascism that aimed at world empire ( more to be said on this in an upcoming report ) .
When the Gouzenko evidence was finally declassified @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wrote a fascinating analysis called “ The Documents that Weren ’ t There ” where he noted the absence of anything one could reasonably call “ evidence ” among the thousands of items .
After spending weeks investigating the six reels of declassified microfilm , Reuben found only what could be described as “ a hodgepodge , reminiscent of one of Professor Irwin Corey ’ s double talk monologues ” .
Listing the vast array of telephone directories from 1943 , RCMP profiles , lists of travel expense vouchers and passport applications , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a single piece of actual evidence could be found .
Additionally when reviewing the 8 handwritten telegrams of Russian notes outlining the spy code names and instructions from the Kremlin which Gouzenko originally took from his embassy in 1945 , no forensic evidence was ever attempted to match the handwriting with Colonel Zubatov to whom it was attributed and who always denied the accusation .
Reuben goes further to ask where are the 108 secret documents that Gouzenko famously stole and upon which the entire case against the accused spies was based ?

Originally published on the Strategic Culture Foundation
Today, a new coordinated psychological operation has been sprung to convince every living patriot across the Five Eyes sphere of influence that the enemy of the free world who lurks behind every conspiracy to overthrow governments, and western values is…China.
Over the past weeks, a surge in slanderous, and often conjectural stories of Chinese subversion has repeatedly been fed to a gullible western audience desperate for an enemy image to attach to their realization that an obvious long-term conspiracy has been unleashed to destroy their lives. While the left has been fed with propaganda designed to convince them that this enemy has taken the form of the Kremlin, the conservative consumers of media have been fed with the narrative that the enemy is China.
The reality is that both Russia and China together have a bond of principled survival upon which the entire multipolar order is based. It is this alliance which the actual controllers of today’s empire wish to both destroy and ensure no western nation joins… especially not the USA.
Every day we read that secret lists of millions of Chinese communist party members have infiltrated western national governments or that espionage honey pots have targeted anti-Trump politicans in California, or that Chinese military are conducting operations in Canada, or that China intentionally created COVID-19 and deployed it around the world to subvert the western liberal order.
In all cases, the stories pumped out by mainstream media rags reek of 1) Five Eyes propaganda psy-op techniques, and often unverified accusations, while 2) deflecting from the actually verifiable British Intelligence tentacles caught repeatedly shaping world events, regime change, infiltration, assassination and conspiracies for over a century including the push to overthrow Trump under a color revolution.
Among the most destructive of these conspiracies orchestrated by British Intelligence during the past century was the artificial creation of the Cold War which destroyed the hopes for a multipolar world of win-win collaboration guided by a U.S.-China-Russia alliance as envisioned by FDR and Henry Wallace.
When reviewing how this perversion of history was manufactured, it is important to hold firmly in mind the parallels to the current anti-China/anti-Russian operations now underway.
Cold War Battle Lines are Drawn
Historians widely acknowledge that the actual catalyst for the Cold War occurred not on March 5, 1946, but rather on September 5, 1945. It was at this moment that a 26-year-old cipher clerk left the Soviet Embassy in Ottawa with a list of code names for supposed spies planted within the British, Canadian and American governments controlled by the Kremlin. In total this young defector took telegram notes attributed to his boss Colonel Zabotin and 108 other strategic documents that supposedly proved the existence of this Soviet conspiracy to the world for the first time.
The young clerk’s name was Igor Gouzenko, and the scandal that emerged from his defection not only created one of the greatest abuses of civil liberties in Canadian history, but a sham trial based on little more than hearsay and conjecture. In fact, when the six microfilms of evidence were finally declassified in 1985, not a single document turned out be worthy of the name (more to be said on that below).
The outcome of the Gouzenko Affair resulted in the collapse of all U.S.-Canada-Russia alliances that had been fostered during fires of anti-fascist combat of WWII.
Voices like Henry Wallace (former Vice-President under FDR) watched the collapse of potential amidst the anti-Communist hysteria and sounded the alarm loudly saying: “Fascism in the postwar inevitably will push steadily for Anglo-Saxon imperialism and eventually for war with Russia. Already American fascists are talking and writing about this conflict and using it as an excuse for their internal hatreds and intolerances toward certain races, creeds and classes.”
In “Soviet Mission Asia,” Wallace revealed the true agenda for the conspiracy that would infiltrate nation states of the west and orchestrate the next 75 years of history saying: “Before the blood of our boys is scarcely dry on the field of battle, these enemies of peace try to lay the foundation for World War III. These people must not succeed in their foul enterprise. We must offset their poison by following the policies of Roosevelt in cultivating the friendship of Russia in peace as well as in war.”
This fight against those actual top-down controllers of fascism whom Wallace had bravely put into the spotlight would sadly not prove successful. Between 1945 and the collapse of Wallace’s Progressive Party USA presidential bid in 1948, those strongest anti-Cold War voices both in the USA and in Canada were promptly labelled “Russian agents” and saw their reputations, careers and freedoms destroyed under the CIA-FBI managed spectre of the Red Scare and later McCarthyism. In Canada, Wallace’s Progressive Party co-thinkers took the form of the Labor Progressive Party (LPP) then led by Member of Parliament Fred Rose, LPP leader Tim Buck and LPP National Organizer Sam Carr- all three would represent the anti-Cold War fight to save FDR’s vision in Canada and all of whom would figure prominently in the story of Igor Gouzenko.
The Gouzenko Hoax Kicks Off
When Prime Minister King heard those claims made by Gouzenko, he knew that it threatened the post war hopes for global reconstruction and for this reason was very hesitant to make the unverifiable claims public for many months or even offer the defector sanctuary for that matter.
After the story was eventually strategically leaked to American media, anti-communist hysteria skyrocketed forcing King to establish the Gouzenko Espionage Royal Commission on February 5, 1946 under Privy Council Order 411. Earlier Privy Council Order 6444 had already been passed extending the War Measures Act beyond the end of the war and permitting for detention incommunicado, psychological torture and removing Habeus Corpus of all those who would be accused of espionage.
By February 15, 1946 the first 15 targets were arrested and held for weeks in isolation in Ottawa’s Rockliffe Military Barracks without access to family or legal counsel. All those arrested without charge suffered weeks of psychological torture, sleep deprivation and were put on suicide watch with no communication with anyone but inquisitors from the Royal Commission. Both Judges who presided over the show trial were rewarded with Orders of Canada and were made Supreme Court Justices in the wake of the affair.
With a complete disregard for any notion of civil liberties (Canada still had no Bill of Rights), lead counsel E.K. Williams blatantly argued for the creation of the Royal Commission “because it need not be bound by the ordinary rules of evidence if it considers it desirable to disregard them. It need not permit counsel to appear for those to be interrogated by or before it”.
During the show trial, none of the defendants were allowed to see any evidence being used against them and everyone involved including RCMP officers were threatened with 5 years imprisonment for speaking about the trial publicly. The only person who could speak and write boundlessly to the media was the figure of Igor Gouzenko himself. Whenever appearing on TV or in court, Gouzenko who was to charge over $1000 for some interviews and received generous book deals, and government pensions for life, always appeared masked in a paper bag on his head. Even though this cipher clerk never actually met any of the figures standing trial, his testimony against them was treated like gold.
By June 27, 1946 the Royal Commission released its final 733 page report which, along with Gouzenko’s own books, became the sole unquestionable gospel used and re-used by journalists, politicians and historians for the next decades as proof of the vast Russian plot to undermine western values and steal atomic secrets. There was in fact nowhere else to go for a very long time if a researcher wished to figure out what actually occurred.
As it so happened, all trial records were either destroyed or “lost” in the days after the commission disbanded, and if people wanted to look at the actual evidence they would have to wait 40 years when it was finally declassified.
The result of the trials?
By the end of the whole sordid affair, 10 of the 26 arrested were convicted and imprisoned for anywhere from 3-7 years. While these convictions are themselves often cited as “proof” that the Gouzenko evidence must have been valid, on closer inspection we find that this is merely the effect of a game of smoke and mirrors.
It must first be noted that of the 10 found guilty, not one indictment or conviction of espionage was found. Instead, five defendants were found guilty of assisting in the acquisition of fake passports during the 1930s which were used by Canadian volunteers to fight with the MacKenzie-Papineau Battalions in the Spanish Civil War against Franco’s fascist coup while the other five were convicted of violating Canada’s Official Secrets Act during WWII entirely on Gouzenko’s testimony. The other 16 targets were released without ever having been charged of a crime. The two leaders of the supposed spy ring that received the longest sentences were Labor Progressive Party leaders Fred Rose and Sam Carr who had been the loudest advocates of FDR’s international New Deal and the exposure of the financial sponsors of fascism that aimed at world empire (more to be said on this in an upcoming report).
When the Gouzenko evidence was finally declassified in 1985, Canadian journalist William Reuben wrote a fascinating analysis called “The Documents that Weren’t There” where he noted the absence of anything one could reasonably call “evidence” among the thousands of items.
After spending weeks investigating the six reels of declassified microfilm, Reuben found only what could be described as “a hodgepodge, reminiscent of one of Professor Irwin Corey’s double talk monologues”.
Listing the vast array of telephone directories from 1943, RCMP profiles, lists of travel expense vouchers and passport applications, Reuben asked:
“What is one to make of this jumble? With no indication as to when any of the exhibits were obtained by the RCMP, how they related to espionage or any wrongdoing and for the most part, no indication of when they were placed in evidence at the hearings it is impossible to determine their significance, authenticity or relationship to other evidence.”
In short, not a single piece of actual evidence could be found.
Additionally when reviewing the 8 handwritten telegrams of Russian notes outlining the spy code names and instructions from the Kremlin which Gouzenko originally took from his embassy in 1945, no forensic evidence was ever attempted to match the handwriting with Colonel Zubatov to whom it was attributed and who always denied the accusation.
Reuben goes further to ask where are the 108 secret documents that Gouzenko famously stole and upon which the entire case against the accused spies was based? These documents were not part of the declassified microfilms, and so he noted: “as with the eight telegrams, there is no physical evidence to prove that the originals existed or came from the Soviet Embassy”.
He also asked the valid question why it was only on March 2, 1946 (six months after Gouzenko’s defection) that any mention was made of the 108 documents?
Could the lack of evidence and the long gap in time be related to Gouzenko’s five and a half month stay at Ottawa’s Camp X spy compound under the control of Sir William Stephenson before his defection was made public? Could those apparent 108 documents used by Gouzenko’s dodgy dossier have anything to do with the Camp X Laboratory which specialized in forging letters and other official documents?
If you find yourself thinking about the parallels of this story to the more recent case of the Brookings Institute’s Igor Danchenko who was found to be the “source” of the dodgy dossiers used to create RussiaGate by MI6’s Christopher Steele, Richard Dearlove and Rhodes Scholar Strobe Talbott, then don’t be shocked. It means you are using your brain.
What was Camp X?
Camp X was the name given to the clandestine operations training center in the outskirts of Ottawa Canada on December 6, 1941.
It was created by the British Security Cooperation (BSC) headed by Sir William Stephenson- a spymaster who worked closely with Winston Churchill. BSC was created in New York in 1940 as a covert operation set up by the British Secret Service and MI6 to interface with American intelligence. Since the USA was still neutral in the war, Camp X was used to train the Special Operations Executive, as well as agents from FBI’s Division 5 and OSS in the arts of psychological warfare, assassination, espionage, counter-intelligence, forgeries and other forms of covert action.
The leadership cadre that was to survive the purge of OSS in October 1945 and go on to lead the new CIA when it was formed in 1947 were all trained in Camp X.
In his book Camp X: OSS, Intrepid and the Allies’ North American Training Camp for Secret Agents, historian David Stafford notes that Gouzenko’s attempts to contact media and government offices on the night of September 5, 1945 were met with cold shoulders and even Prime Minister William Lyon MacKenzie King himself wanted nothing to do with the man, writing in his diary: “if suicide took place let the city police take charge and secure whatever there was in the way of documents, but on no account for us to take the initiative.”
It was only due to the combined direct intervention of Stephenson and Norman Robertson (head of External Affairs and leading Rhodes Scholar) after an emergency meeting, that King was persuaded to give Gouzenko sanctuary. King had not even known about Camp X’s purpose at the time.
While King wished to defend FDR’s vision for a post-war world of cooperation with Russia, Stafford notes: “Stephenson vigorously opposed King’s view. Like SIS headquarters in London, BSC (British Security Cooperation) for most of the war had operated a counter espionage section to keep an eye on Communist subversion… he was convinced, even before the Gouzenko affair, that BSC could provide the nucleus of a post-war intelligence organization in the Western Hemisphere. The cipher clerk’s defection provided him a golden opportunity”. (1)
Canadian Journalist Ian Adams had reported that Gouzenko’s “defection came at a wonderful time when there was tremendous resistance from the scientists involved in developing the atomic bomb. They wanted to see an open book on the development of nuclear power with everybody collaborating so that it wouldn’t become the ungodly arms race that it did become and is today. So if Gouzenko hadn’t fallen into the western intelligence services’ lap, they would have had to invent somebody like him.”
A Final Word on the Real Infiltration of Western Governments
As Henry Wallace and FDR understood all too well, the real subversive threat to world peace was not the Soviet Union, or China… but rather the supranational financial-intelligence-military architecture that represented the globally extended British Empire that had orchestrated the dismemberment of Russia during the Crimean War, the USA during the Civil War and China during two Opium Wars. This was and is the enemy of the Labour Progressive Party of Canada that took the form of the Fabian Society CCF run by 6 Rhodes Scholars and it was this Rhodes Scholar/Round Table agency that was resisted by Canadian nationalists O.D. Skelton and Ernest Lapointe, and which fully took over Canada’s foreign ministry with their deaths in 1941.

This is the structure whose hands have shown themselves time and again behind the dodgy dossiers that started the Iraq War, to the false intelligence used to justify wars in Libya, and Syria. It is the same structure which has been caught managing the regime change in the USA since 2016 with its assets cooking up dodgy dossiers accusing Russia of putting their puppet into the White House, to orchestrating mass vote fraud in the elections of 2020.
This is the same operation which has always aimed at dismembering the USA, Russia, China and every other nation state who may at any time utilize the power of their sovereignty to declare political and economic independence from this supranational parasite and choose to work together to establish a world of win-win cooperation rather than tolerate a new technocratic feudal dark age.

The Rise Of Snitch Culture

Snitch culture is an Americanism .
It can have several different meanings , but arguably its most toxic form is that of manufacturing confessions against men suspected of serious crimes , up to and including murder .
Usually , they involve what are called cell confessions ; a man held on remand facing a murder charge to which he is pleading not guilty makes a sudden and inexplicable confession to another inmate .
In such cases there is no corroboration , but juries can be and are swayed by such tactics .
In England and Wales , cell confessions were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Criminal Evidence Act , 1984 .

Snitch culture is an Americanism. It can have several different meanings, but arguably its most toxic form is that of manufacturing confessions against men suspected of serious crimes, up to and including murder. Usually, they involve what are called cell confessions; a man held on remand facing a murder charge to which he is pleading not guilty makes a sudden and inexplicable confession to another inmate. In such cases there is no corroboration, but juries can be and are swayed by such tactics.
In England and Wales, cell confessions were not the norm until the Police And Criminal Evidence Act, 1984. Before PACE, police officers would “verbal up” suspects; the classic was “It’s a fair cop, guv” in the back of a police car. With the introduction of tape recording, verballing disappeared literally overnight, but not cell confessions.
In 1989, the boxing promoter Frank Warren was gunned down on an East London street. Thankfully, he survived, but sensational though that assassination attempt was, the arrest of Terry Marsh and his following trial was even more so.
Marsh is one of a select handful of world champions to walk away from the sport undefeated; he had also served in the Royal Marines, which of itself negates the attempted murder charge, because if he had been the gunman, Warren wouldn’t have survived.
Realising how weak was their case, the police readily accepted a prison confession in evidence. Normally, a defendant in an English courtroom will take the stand in a murder trial, but there had been bad blood between Marsh and Warren; had he done so, the prosecution would have taken selected quotes and torn them out of context. In his summing up, the judge made clear his disdain for the professional criminal who testified against him, and Marsh was acquitted.
Terry Marsh was a man of exemplary character; Michael Stone was entirely the opposite, and when he stood trial, twice, for the 1996 Chillenden Murders, the only so-called evidence against him was prison confessions allegedly made to snitches.
Stone was back in the news recently, and will be again soon, although no more can be said at this stage. The kind of snitching that puts innocent men in prison, sometimes for life, is reprehensible beyond belief, but the evolving “low level” snitch culture we are currently witnessing is in its own way every bit as reprehensible, and often life-changing.
Closely allied to cancel culture, it consists of telling tales out of school to destroy people’s reputations and their careers. And it works.
In May, a police officer with 22 years service was sacked for sending an explicit photograph of himself to a woman while on duty. This wasn’t something that happened out of the blue; she appears to have made the first move. Gross misconduct or not, did that lapse of judgment really warrant instant dismissal?
This month, an unnamed police officer in Northern Ireland was sacked for starting a relationship with a “vulnerable” woman. There have been so many of these cases, and often it isn’t the police officer who makes the first move. Some women are attracted to the uniform and the aura of power that goes with it. Time and time again police officers on both sides of the Atlantic and the world over fall for this. Oftentimes these women aren’t simply vulnerable but toxic, and once displeased over anything, be it ever so trivial, Hell hath no fury.
If deranged or simply spiteful women can be avoided by police officers, their toxic colleagues can’t. Last month, Metropolitan Police Officer Jack Greenaway was hauled before a disciplinary board for – get this – making “a comment which was a derogatory reference towards his colleague’s ethnicity” while drunk at a Christmas party in December 2018. This was said to have “caused upset to his colleague.” Boo hoo.
So his “upset colleague” tried to have him sacked? That’s right. No one should be too surprised if that colleague asks for a transfer to another station, or another force in future.
The current COVID situation has also led to increased snitching on neighbours and increased calls for it, including from the Governor of Oregon. This should surprise no one, in view of the outrages in Portland, there is clearly not a world of difference between Oregonian and Orwellian.

Trevor Bolder died in 2013, too young at 62, so this tribute album was a long time coming. Although best known as a bass player, Bolder was also both a songwriter and a record producer. He began his musical career with Mick Ronson, and like Ronson played with Bowie. He had a short tenure with the legendary Wishbone Ash which included their classic 1983 concert at the Marquee, but he is best known for two long stints with Uriah Heep – 1976-81 and 1983 until his death; two members of the band have died this year.
Sail The Rivers is currently shipping as an audio CD, which means it is too late for Christmas, but you can find snatches of it on YouTube including this 2015 interview with Laurie Wisefield.
