veteranstoday--2020-09-24--How Trump ‘Got to’ Mitt: VT Publishes FBI/CIA Leak on Romney, Cuba and the Cartels

VT : Below is the story of Mitt Romney as given us by sources within the FBI , Mexican intelligence and others .
He is now a US senator .
God help us .
It started with a photograph .
Mitt Romney in Cuba with a woman named “ Maria XXXXX , ” ( also known as…Maria Perez , Jane Maria Perez , Jane Mary Swift , Maria Andropolun or Maria Anapolov ) _ Cuban mother , Russian father .
The year , 1999 , a flight to Vera Cruz , then on to Havana .
Listen to a former @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : The source , a top level FBI official managing counter-narcotics in Mexico , along with L3 Communications , gained access to the Romney file held by Mexican intelligence .
INTERVIEW SAMPLE , VOICE ALTERED , ON ROMNEY CUBA TIES ( US OFFICIAL ) The information below is the result of years of investigation including two years undercover , inside of one of Mexico ’ s biggest drug cartels .
Files include wire taps , documents , photographs , including documents from Cuban intelligence which include photos and recordings , secured at extreme @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Russia , Romney running terrorism in Africa , this is what the FBI , CIA and the files state .
Documents outline several meetings between Romney and Castro .
FBI officials now indicate that Romney ’ s travels were done under diplomatic passport supplied by the KGB .
Notes in the “ Romney File ” indicate the following : Based on the number of trips to Cuba and reports from our intelligence sources there , Romney was considered a top intelligence asset for Cuban and Soviet/Russian intelligence .
His psychopathic and narcissistic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ obsession with physical security ( physical cowardice ) made him , not only easy to manage but highly motivated to use his strong ties in Washington to access whatever intelligence his handlers desired .
Romney ’ s “ world view ” is that he sees himself as a molder of world history , above “ ordinary people ” and obsessed with power and personal safety .
Nothing here is new to anyone but the public .
The media had been approached to run this story .
ABC has it and is sitting on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the documents , only the public has been kept in the dark , kept from one of the larger coverups in the past couple of years .
We have so many , one can ’ t use the term “ major ” without risk of overstatement .
The story begins at Harvard and ends in South Africa , drug money , blood diamonds , spying for Cuba and Russia , a story offered to ABC News , a story documented to Sheldon Adelson , the Koch Brothers and Harold Simmons , warning them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They were told they were supporting an organized crime figure , told by unimpeachable sources .
What I was told began at Harvard , Romney was a couple of years behind Carlos Salinas , former president of Mexico , now in exile , whose father established the drug cartels .
While at Harvard , I am told , the two established a “ clandestine relationship ” to build a money laundering empire , using Panama , Cuba , banks around the world , servicing the network of cartels the Salinas family controlled @ @ @ @ @ @ @ occur in Miami , Guatemala and Honduras that we know of , others , we haven ’ t documented .
This is the official biography of Carlos Salinas , the “ sugar coated ” version of Romney ’ s long time associate , one of many of this ilk Bain Capital is the financial arm of all crime “ south of the border.
” Carlos Salinas was a Harvard-educated neo-liberal technocrat who became the youngest president in Mexican history .
He won the first contested election in years for the notoriously corrupt Institutional @ @ @ @ @ @ @ electoral fraud against his rival Cuauhtemoc Cardenas .
He is best known in Mexico as a disgraced politician , and throughout North America for being the Mexican signatory to NAFTA .
As President of Mexico , Salinas worked to open up Mexico to foreign investment , including the privatization of Mexico ’ s national banking system ( which was sold at below market rate to his political allies ) .
Salinas ’ s continued work to repeal the social contract resulted in the rebellion of peasants of Chiapas under the Zapatista Army , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
After his term as president , Mexico sank into an enormous fiscal crisis due to Salinas ’ economic programs , ultimately resulting in a devaluation of the peso by 200 % .
Salinas attempted to blame the subsequent administration of Ernesto Zedillo for this recession and was so vilified by the Mexican press and people that he was forced to leave the country .
While Salinas was exiled , he wrote a thousand page book explaining exactly why all of Mexico was wrong and he was right which was released to universal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his brothers was murdered , probably by federal police , and another of his brothers was jailed for murdering a rival politician .
His entire family has since been the target of numerous international money laundering investigations .
From the PBS show , “ Frontline , ” the family tree of the Salinas cartel Our FBI source says that Bain Capital was established to protect the former front company , Bain & Company .
Operations would be managed from Panama , banking from Switzerland and the Caymans but client meetings would be held @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cuban intelligence set Romney up with a mistress , “ Maria , ” who was also his “ handler.
” We are told Romney has been in and out of Cuba constantly .
Thus , nobody should know Latin America and its value than Romney .
He sure knows China well .
Now we know he also knows Russia , not just well but “ very well.
” Romney has had repeated personal audiences with Castro , we are told .
From his profile : “ Romney is a compulsive gambler… ” According @ @ @ @ @ @ @ counter-narcotics , Romney helped run narcotics trafficking through Mexico into the United States .
He also continued to work directly with Cuban and Russian intelligence , a relationship they say is “ ongoing.
” With this short briefing is a stack of files , communications intercepts , surveillance reports , statements by undercover informants , one of which , an FBI agent , I spoke with for two hours .
When no US Attorney agreed to prosecute , the files and this information were leaked , initially to ABC .
They said they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” on this “ as soon as the election was over.
” That was 18 months ago they have had files and met with the agents involved , under full secrecy .
There is an African end of this story .
A CIA agent named “ Tony , ” working South Africa , part of a team of agents there , all Mormons , contacted a professional associates of mine .
( an intelligence agency director ) South Africa is my “ turf ” also .
“ Tony ” as he called himself @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and was tasked with investing $ 120 billion in drug profits , maybe from Afghanistan , in South Africa .
He told our representatives he was looking for mining properties worth more than $ 200 million each .
“ Tony ” met , not just with us , but with dozens of other groups in South Africa .
Tony is , what we call in the spy business , “ burned.
” Tony ’ s group works with UNITA , a terrorist organization , sometimes supported by North Korea , Israel , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ revolutionary organization is now “ for hire , ” and “ terrorism on demand ” with a reach that covers a dozen nations .
Their method of operation is to finance themselves with blood diamonds , sent through agents to Tel Aviv , money to be handled by Bain Capital/Romney , then to China where arms are purchased and shipped to terrorists in Africa , “ Al Qaeda , Boko Harum and UNITA .
The details of the deal were set up a month ago .
Currently , UNITA is having difficulty coming @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1.2 billion a year in diamonds they promised .
The photo of Romney in Cuba is not as clear as it could be , a copy of a copy was sent .
Other documents are in both English and Spanish , volumes .
The “ Romney files ” came out as a result of current operations through FBI contractors acting in Mexico .
L-3 MPRI , a division of a major U.S. defense contractor , is hunting in the mercenary community to hire “ site leads ” who can help oversee the company @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coordinate “ with Mexican Army officials ” at a dozen training sites , called “ VMTCs , ” located in Mexico .
Those VMTCs , or Virtual Military Training Centers , provide “ high quality training and simulation support , ” and the site leads being sought will report directly to the L-3 MPRI ’ s project manager ( or PM ) in Mexico City , a job advertisement posted on a L-3 MPRI Web page states .
Critics of U.S. drug war policy have long maintained that the militarism it encourages is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the $ 1.5 billion Mérida Initiative being held out as evidence of the mercenary nature of the policy .
Under the initiative , the U.S. has agreed to provide the Mexican government with sophisticated military equipment and training to help advance its “ fight ” against “ organized crime and associated violence , ” according to the U.S. State Department .
Although it is not clear , at this point , who is funding L-3 MPRI ’ s training centers in Mexico , whether they are being supported by Mérida money or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other program .
What is clear is that the help-wanted advertisement represents important evidence that U.S. private-sector companies have mercenary operations inside Mexico that appear to be providing high-level training to the Mexican military in support , at least in part , of that nation ’ s prosecution of the drug war .
Some 35,000 Mexicans have been murdered since President Felipe Calderón took office in late 2006 and launched his so-called war on the “ drug cartels.
” What is particularly good news for the Romney camp is that this information has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , major news agencies , several US Attorney ’ s and the intelligence agencies of over a dozen countries for just under two years .
Most top GOP donors were sent copies .
None , when questioned as to why they still donated money seemed to care .
One from Montana was quoted as saying , “ As long as he is a Republican , we don ’ t care if he is a drug dealer or damned ‘ Ruskie ’ spy.
” Documents contain names of undercover agents , witnesses , those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ keep drugs out of the US .
Redaction is going on and we will publish what we can .
NAFTA makes much more sense to me now , why the border has been kept open through several presidencies , how we lost much of the nation and our government to drug cash .
Similarly , our policies in Africa now make sense , the terrorism spreading across the continent , and even Webster Tarpley ’ s statements about the Mormon Mafia that runs the CIA and FBI .
Our associates in South Africa @ @ @ @ @ @ @ diamonds , those buying everything in sight , are all Mormon , with support of the Heritage Foundation and key Washington law firms .
We have all the names .
What we have stumbled on is a systematic effort to destabilize all of Africa and return it to colonialism .
It is good to see America doing their part , along with China , Israel and North Korea .
Let ’ s not forget the Saudis also .
This is the second consecutive GOP candidate with a dossier that accuses them of working @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to tell us ?
Subject : George W. Romney , former Governor of Michigan , Secretary of Health and Human Services , candidate for President of the United States .
FBI sources indicate that an investigation of the background of the Romney family indicates they maintained relationships with criminal elements within Mexico after the family returned just prior to World War I. FBI records indicate that Bain and Company and later Bain Capital received the bulk of its money from inside the Romney family , from George Romney in particular who had direct @ @ @ @ @ @ @ family fortune and the career of George W. Romney was financed with funds from Mexico involving criminal enterprises including drug smuggling and human trafficking dating to the 1930s when the official family history lists George Romney as “ poverty stricken.
” In fact , George Romney , flush with Mexican cash , went from “ jobless ” to a top executive position in the auto industry to their chief spokesman during World War II , an amazing turn around .
The Most Lied About Election in American History It began when the Republican @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a landslide .
Thus far , 25 grand juries have been seated to deal with felony charges tied to crimes in rigging both the GOP primaries and convention .
Legal groups across the US are , finally , challenging overt the overt corruption of America ’ s “ two party dictatorship.
“ Even with a flawed constitution , there is nothing that supports this system , nothing that supports how congress is run and certainly , what constitution we have should have protected us from rule by foreign corporations , more specifically @ @ @ @ @ @ @ corporations ” that the Supreme Court ’ s “ Citizens United ” blasphemy has saddled us with .
The volume of information held , the types of information , the mass of it , is mind boggling , even for me .
We ’ re going to touch on a few “ pre-publishing ” issues simply because time is running out with the election .
What I can say , early on , is that I get sick of finding fault with America .
Unlike many , I am not bitter , don @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but I also no longer believe in the American people .
I find that “ patriotic Americans ” are a brave few , embattled , many inside the government and military still , many were eliminated during the Bush era , some returning under Obama but not enough .
The story we are going to look at today has to be painted with broad strokes .
It starts with the Reagan administration but not with Reagan himself .
Those of us who worked for Reagan , and I have a group of friends @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or who worked in military and intelligence positions , saw the change .
There were a series of scandals , all “ erased by the sands of time , ” such as “ Iran/Contra ” or “ BCCI.
” All are forgotten .
What wasn ’ t seen was how the CIA was subverted by members of the Executive Branch , we are talking the Vice President , along with key members of the Pentagon and Congress .
America had long been saddled with foreign rule .
It began well before 1913 when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Act , written on Jekyll Island by a banking cabal , a law meant to enslave America through manufactured economic disasters , war and debt .
Without the Federal Reserve , there would have been no World Wars , the truth goes that far .
This is why we have Mitt Romney instead of Ron Paul .
Romney represents the European banking consortium and organized crime .
His purpose is to unravel the roadblocks put in place by Obama , few and weak as they are due to our flawed system of “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back into historical perspective .
This means a world war , more prisons , looted banks , all wealth shipped overseas and the eventual descent of America into third world status , depopulated , deindustrialized and enslaved .
This is what I have been told , what sits in his files , FBI , intelligence agencies , what can be proven , can be shown , what has been presented to every agency chief , every court , the leaders of congress , all have seen the files .
Romney and friends , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ – but how , really ?
?
The story began , “ Romney left Bain Capital in 1999 when Cartel head , Raul Salinas , his partner , was sentenced to 50 years in prison .
Salinas said , ‘ If my story gets out , the governments of the world will tremble.
’ Romney was terrified , walked away from Bain ’ s secret overseas holdings , well over $ 1 trillion dollars , not the $ 66 billion claimed , and flew to Cuba to meet his mistress , Maria Perez @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for an audience with Castro .
We have records of his flight , photographs from Cuba , we have recordings of conversations there….
” I have hours of these debriefings , in “ cloud ” storage , now sitting with several intelligence agencies where I have good friends .
The story first broke here , proof to a number of agencies that I could be trusted , then the deluge of even more information began .
Let ’ s get back to this in a bit .
We need more background .
Vietnam @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” and its lessons .
We aren ’ t talking about real learning , that war is useless , that humans deserve decency and a chance for life and freedom .
What Vietnam taught Washington was that “ waste is profit ” and that the real business of government is narcotics .
What had , since the 1940 ’ s , been the dalliance of a few powerful banking and shipping families , those who later grew fat on the civil war , the “ Robber Barons ” who became the war profiteers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the beginning .
There were others , this is where the Romney family comes in .
Mormon history is largely secret , two wars against the United States , wars over polygamy , over the “ Kingdom of Deseret ” and its withdrawal from the United States .
The Romney family were citizens of that “ kingdom ” and had their US citizenship formally withdrawn in 1872 by the Edmunds Act .
They became federal fugitives , fled America and stayed out of the country for 26 years , citizens of Mexico .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ was repatriated as an American citizen , all remained Mexican citizens , some returning to Mexico .
During their time there , they formed alliances with ruling families , with bandits , with forces opposed to the United States and its seizure of American land .
Mormons who fled to Mexico had become a “ 5th column ” when they returned and remained tied to Mexico .
Thus , when the briefing continued , it didn ’ t run immediately to Carlos Salinas , the former Mexican President who ran their drug cartels @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Romney , according to “ surveillance records , ” but to the father .
It was George Romney , the “ poor kid ” who claims to have nearly starved during the depression who went from “ rags to riches ” in months during the 1930s , from grocery clerk to running an auto company to eventually , during World War II , managing the entire auto industry .
The tapes say that it was dad , along with drug dealers , gangsters , El Salvador , Mexico , Panama , Columbia , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , George Romney , former President of American Motors , former Governor of Michigan , former Secretary of Health and Human Services that had been running a vast multi-national criminal empire .
I had no idea and I had met him .
Then came the warning : “ When we tried to explain this , the web of hedge funds , of ‘ limited partnerships , ’ of railroads , shipping companies , even the largest retail chain in the world , how they were involved , how Mitt Romney is the largest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ done through layers of partnerships , no one wanted to take on anything this powerful.
” “ One of the keys is the Texas Pacific Group , funding 254 companies .
Another is GE Capital , originating as a Mexican bank that laundered drug profits , grown into one of the largest companies in America by ‘ Jack Welch ’ and then destroyed through a ‘ pump and dump ’ costing American investors billions , crushing many pension funds and impoverishing tens of thousands or more.
” The list of major American corporations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
No wonder prosecutors , press and , of course , elected officials were overwhelmed .
Those listed as representing organized crime make up groups responsible for 50 % of political donations in the US and this doesn ’ t count the estimated $ 4 billion in drug profits brought in through phony front corporation or the money collected during overseas campaign funding drives , trips to Israel and Britain .
Of course , collecting campaign funds overseas is a felony .
In 1997 , Norman Grigg produced a prophetic article on NAFTA @ @ @ @ @ @ @ former DEA agent Phil Jordan , the tidal wave of narcotics flooding the southwest border is an ineluctable product of the NAFTA agreement , which — as the agency predicted in a 1993 intelligence report — has proven to be “ a deal made in narco heaven.
” The report , which had been completed before Congress voted on the agreement , described how Mexican-based narcotics cartels had bought up business fronts along the border to exploit the upsurge in uninspected cross-border commerce .
In an interview on the May 5th edition of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jordan said that the Clinton Administration told the DEA that the impact of NAFTA “ was a subject we could not discuss ” prior to the vote in Congress .
The July 30 , 1995 New York Times declared that “ Mexican traffickers seem to have embraced a vision of North American integration not unlike that with which NAFTA … was sold to skeptics in Washington.
” A former U.S. official explained to the Times that “ once Bush and Salinas decided to go with NAFTA as the No .
1 goal , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” John P. Walters , who inherited the post of “ Drug Czar ” from William Bennett , made the point even more clearly in a subsequent interview with the Times .
“ People desperately wanted drugs not to become a complicating factor for NAFTA , ” explained Walters .
“ There was a degree of illicit activity that was just accepted.
” This trade-off has not met with the approval of U.S. law enforcement personnel .
Writing in the July/August 1996 issue of Freedom Review , Douglas Payne observed that “ U.S @ @ @ @ @ @ @ refer to NAFTA as the ‘ North American Drug Trade Agreement , ’ while Texas law enforcement officials prefer , ‘ North American Free Trafficking Agreement . '
” Fifteen years later , drug enforcement officials , fearful of having their names in print , fearful of not only the cartel but of their own employers , the US government , not only back up Grigg but indicate how much further things have gone : “ NAFTA wasn ’ t just negotiated by Bush ( 41 ) and Salinas and had nothing to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Romney/Salinas document that was intended only to support drug and human trafficking , money laundering and the deindustrialization of the United States.
” It is expected that anyone criticizing the United States is obligated to point to Fidel Castro as a “ godlike figure , ” standing for international justice and to see Cuba as a bastion of individual freedom .
Thus , finding that America ’ s criminal “ monied class ” moves in and out of Cuba , using it as a “ safe haven ” for meetings that could be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , how “ clean ” is Cuba ?
“ We don ’ t know when Romney began visiting Cuba but our first encounter with him there was 1999 , one of two trips that year , one through Vera Cruz , the second through Toronto .
There he met with Maria Perez/Andropov , a Cuban intelligence officer who is his mistress .
We know Romney used diplomatic passports for travel and that Perez has traveled in the US under a very unique identity.
” Intercepts of highly classified intelligence from Cuba , confirmed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cuban intelligence agent , Maria Perez Andropov , while in the US , used the name of former Massachusetts governor Jane Marie Swift .
The terms “ cloned ” and “ stolen identity ” were used .
The same intelligence sources confirm that Perez/Andropov , traveling as Jane Marie Smith , accompanied Mitt Romney on more than one occasion , a Cuban intelligence agent , inside the US under false identity .
The other “ Swift ” became governor when Bush appointed Paul Celluci , then governor , as Ambassador to Canada , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unusual political move to which we choose to attribute no significance .
Swift though not serving in public office , is at the highest decision making levels of the GOP .
My questions as to why this identity would be chosen and how it may have been used ended with a refusal to follow up based on a need to protect sources .
Thus , we have so many questions , how many meetings with Castro , we know of more than one , what role does Cuba play other than that of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ money is out there , all those numbered accounts , thousands of them , estimated at well over $ 1 trillion , all taxable somewhere ?
“ If any of you are wondering why we would print this article when no one else would , it is because of who we are , and why we do what we do .
We are particular about who we work for , and why .
Veterans Today is brought to you by the men and women of the clandestine and special operations services…those who have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and those who will follow them , because we look after our people , even when others won ’ t. “

VT: Below is the story of Mitt Romney as given us by sources within the FBI, Mexican intelligence and others.
He is now a US senator. God help us.
It started with a photograph. Mitt Romney in Cuba with a woman named “Maria XXXXX,” (also known as…Maria Perez, Jane Maria Perez, Jane Mary Swift, Maria Andropolun or Maria Anapolov)_ Cuban mother, Russian father. The year, 1999, a flight to Vera Cruz, then on to Havana.
Listen to a former FBI official talk about Romney and Bain:

INTERVIEW SAMPLE, VOICE ALTERED, ON ROMNEY CUBA TIES (US OFFICIAL)
“PHOTOS AND RECORDINGS”
[youtube yqlEs0_Njoo]
The information below is the result of years of investigation including two years undercover, inside of one of Mexico’s biggest drug cartels. Files include wire taps, documents, photographs, including documents from Cuban intelligence which include photos and recordings, secured at extreme risk.
Romney, spying for Cuba and Russia, Romney running terrorism in Africa, this is what the FBI, CIA and the files state. Documents outline several meetings between Romney and Castro. FBI officials now indicate that Romney’s travels were done under diplomatic passport supplied by the KGB.
Notes in the “Romney File” indicate the following: Based on the number of trips to Cuba and reports from our intelligence sources there, Romney was considered a top intelligence asset for Cuban and Soviet/Russian intelligence.
His psychopathic and narcissistic personality disorders tied to gambling addiction and obsession with physical security (physical cowardice) made him, not only easy to manage but highly motivated to use his strong ties in Washington to access whatever intelligence his handlers desired. Romney’s “world view” is that he sees himself as a molder of world history, above “ordinary people” and obsessed with power and personal safety.
Nothing here is new to anyone but the public. The media had been approached to run this story.
ABC has it and is sitting on it, the US government has all the documents, only the public has been kept in the dark, kept from one of the larger coverups in the past couple of years.
We have so many, one can’t use the term “major” without risk of overstatement.
The story begins at Harvard and ends in South Africa, drug money, blood diamonds, spying for Cuba and Russia, a story offered to ABC News, a story documented to Sheldon Adelson, the Koch Brothers and Harold Simmons, warning them, a warning they chose to ignore. They were told they were supporting an organized crime figure, told by unimpeachable sources.
Video Largely Confirmed by FBI and CIA
[youtube s9QA5B6U86s]
What I was told began at Harvard, Romney was a couple of years behind Carlos Salinas, former president of Mexico, now in exile, whose father established the drug cartels.
While at Harvard, I am told, the two established a “clandestine relationship” to build a money laundering empire, using Panama, Cuba, banks around the world, servicing the network of cartels the Salinas family controlled. Over the years, meetings would occur in Miami, Guatemala and Honduras that we know of, others, we haven’t documented.
This is the official biography of Carlos Salinas, the “sugar coated” version of Romney’s long time associate, one of many of this ilk Bain Capital is the financial arm of all crime “south of the border.”
Carlos Salinas was a Harvard-educated neo-liberal technocrat who became the youngest president in Mexican history.
He won the first contested election in years for the notoriously corrupt Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) through massive electoral fraud against his rival Cuauhtemoc Cardenas.
He is best known in Mexico as a disgraced politician, and throughout North America for being the Mexican signatory to NAFTA.
As President of Mexico, Salinas worked to open up Mexico to foreign investment, including the privatization of Mexico’s national banking system (which was sold at below market rate to his political allies). Salinas’s continued work to repeal the social contract resulted in the rebellion of peasants of Chiapas under the Zapatista Army, with whom he later brokered a ceasefire.
After his term as president, Mexico sank into an enormous fiscal crisis due to Salinas’ economic programs, ultimately resulting in a devaluation of the peso by 200%. Salinas attempted to blame the subsequent administration of Ernesto Zedillo for this recession and was so vilified by the Mexican press and people that he was forced to leave the country.
While Salinas was exiled, he wrote a thousand page book explaining exactly why all of Mexico was wrong and he was right which was released to universal horror in his homeland.
One of his brothers was murdered, probably by federal police, and another of his brothers was jailed for murdering a rival politician. His entire family has since been the target of numerous international money laundering investigations.
From the PBS show, “Frontline,” the family tree of the Salinas cartel
_____________________
Our FBI source says that Bain Capital was established to protect the former front company, Bain & Company.
Operations would be managed from Panama, banking from Switzerland and the Caymans but client meetings would be held in Cuba.
Here, Russian and Cuban intelligence set Romney up with a mistress, “Maria,” who was also his “handler.”
We are told Romney has been in and out of Cuba constantly. Thus, nobody should know Latin America and its value than Romney. He sure knows China well. Now we know he also knows Russia, not just well but “very well.”
Romney has had repeated personal audiences with Castro, we are told. From his profile: “Romney is a compulsive gambler…”
According to our FBI source, top level counter-narcotics, Romney helped run narcotics trafficking through Mexico into the United States. He also continued to work directly with Cuban and Russian intelligence, a relationship they say is “ongoing.”
With this short briefing is a stack of files, communications intercepts, surveillance reports, statements by undercover informants, one of which, an FBI agent, I spoke with for two hours.
When no US Attorney agreed to prosecute, the files and this information were leaked, initially to ABC. They said they were prepared to do a “special” on this “as soon as the election was over.” That was 18 months ago they have had files and met with the agents involved, under full secrecy.

BAIN and AFRICAN TERROR
There is an African end of this story. A CIA agent named “Tony,” working South Africa, part of a team of agents there, all Mormons, contacted a professional associates of mine. (an intelligence agency director)
South Africa is my “turf” also.
“Tony” as he called himself was working with a US law firm and was tasked with investing $120 billion in drug profits, maybe from Afghanistan, in South Africa. He told our representatives he was looking for mining properties worth more than $200 million each.
“Tony” met, not just with us, but with dozens of other groups in South Africa. Tony is, what we call in the spy business, “burned.” Tony’s group works with UNITA, a terrorist organization, sometimes supported by North Korea, Israel, the US and China. The former Angolan revolutionary organization is now “for hire,” and “terrorism on demand” with a reach that covers a dozen nations.
Their task, as South African intelligence indicates, is to buy up South Africa and take over the rest of Southern Africa through running terrorist groups out of the DRC or Democratic Republic of the Congo. On their list is Kenya and other nations.
Their method of operation is to finance themselves with blood diamonds, sent through agents to Tel Aviv, money to be handled by Bain Capital/Romney, then to China where arms are purchased and shipped to terrorists in Africa, “Al Qaeda, Boko Harum and UNITA.
The details of the deal were set up a month ago. Currently, UNITA is having difficulty coming up with their end, the $1.2 billion a year in diamonds they promised.
On the Israeli end, Romney, while traveling there with Las Vegas casino boss, Sheldon Adelson, met with diamond traders at what was supposed to be a/an (illegal) fundraiser. It was something else, putting together one link in the diamonds, terrorism, money, narcotics trade which, working with Bain, the Bush family, Mormon groups in the CIA and the Mossad, meant to take over all of Africa.

DOCUMENTS
The photo of Romney in Cuba is not as clear as it could be, a copy of a copy was sent. Other documents are in both English and Spanish, volumes.
The “Romney files” came out as a result of current operations through FBI contractors acting in Mexico.
Job Posting Seeks Former Soldiers to Provide Urban Warfare, Counterinsurgency Training
L-3 MPRI, a division of a major U.S. defense contractor, is hunting in the mercenary community to hire “site leads” who can help oversee the company’s personnel in Mexico and also coordinate “with Mexican Army officials” at a dozen training sites, called “VMTCs,” located in Mexico.
Those VMTCs, or Virtual Military Training Centers, provide “high quality training and simulation support,” and the site leads being sought will report directly to the L-3 MPRI’s project manager (or PM) in Mexico City, a job advertisement posted on a L-3 MPRI Web page states.
Critics of U.S. drug war policy have long maintained that the militarism it encourages is, in large part, profit-motivated, with the $1.5 billion Mérida Initiative being held out as evidence of the mercenary nature of the policy.
Under the initiative, the U.S. has agreed to provide the Mexican government with sophisticated military equipment and training to help advance its “fight” against “organized crime and associated violence,” according to the U.S. State Department.
Although it is not clear, at this point, who is funding L-3 MPRI’s training centers in Mexico, whether they are being supported by Mérida money or the Mexican government, or via some other program. What is clear is that the help-wanted advertisement represents important evidence that U.S. private-sector companies have mercenary operations inside Mexico that appear to be providing high-level training to the Mexican military in support, at least in part, of that nation’s prosecution of the drug war.
Some 35,000 Mexicans have been murdered since President Felipe Calderón took office in late 2006 and launched his so-called war on the “drug cartels.”

Good News for Romney
What is particularly good news for the Romney camp is that this information has been in the hands of GOP officials, major news agencies, several US Attorney’s and the intelligence agencies of over a dozen countries for just under two years.
Most top GOP donors were sent copies. None, when questioned as to why they still donated money seemed to care. One from Montana was quoted as saying, “As long as he is a Republican, we don’t care if he is a drug dealer or damned ‘Ruskie’ spy.”
Documents contain names of undercover agents, witnesses, those who put their lives at risk to keep drugs out of the US. Redaction is going on and we will publish what we can.
NAFTA makes much more sense to me now, why the border has been kept open through several presidencies, how we lost much of the nation and our government to drug cash.
Similarly, our policies in Africa now make sense, the terrorism spreading across the continent, and even Webster Tarpley’s statements about the Mormon Mafia that runs the CIA and FBI.
Our associates in South Africa said that those financing terrorism with blood diamonds, those buying everything in sight, are all Mormon, with support of the Heritage Foundation and key Washington law firms.
We have all the names. What we have stumbled on is a systematic effort to destabilize all of Africa and return it to colonialism. It is good to see America doing their part, along with China, Israel and North Korea. Let’s not forget the Saudis also.

This is the second consecutive GOP candidate with a dossier that accuses them of working for Russia. What are they trying to tell us?
*
Addendum
Based on Interview with FBI sources, November 2, 2012
Subject: George W. Romney, former Governor of Michigan, Secretary of Health and Human Services, candidate for President of the United States.
FBI sources indicate that an investigation of the background of the Romney family indicates they maintained relationships with criminal elements within Mexico after the family returned just prior to World War I.
FBI records indicate that Bain and Company and later Bain Capital received the bulk of its money from inside the Romney family, from George Romney in particular who had direct ties to organized crime.
The Romney family fortune and the career of George W. Romney was financed with funds from Mexico involving criminal enterprises including drug smuggling and human trafficking dating to the 1930s when the official family history lists George Romney as “poverty stricken.”
In fact, George Romney, flush with Mexican cash, went from “jobless” to a top executive position in the auto industry to their chief spokesman during World War II, an amazing turn around.
The Most Lied About Election in American History
It began when the Republican nomination was stolen. Ron Paul won in a landslide. Thus far, 25 grand juries have been seated to deal with felony charges tied to crimes in rigging both the GOP primaries and convention.
Legal groups across the US are, finally, challenging overt the overt corruption of America’s “two party dictatorship.”
Even with a flawed constitution, there is nothing that supports this system, nothing that supports how congress is run and certainly, what constitution we have should have protected us from rule by foreign corporations, more specifically, organized crime packaged as “foreign corporations” that the Supreme Court’s “Citizens United” blasphemy has saddled us with.
Over the past few days, with my delightfully tapped phone (all calls say “US Government” on them), those still working for what is legitimate of that government have been calling. I am told I am the only journalist that isn’t either “brain dead” or “bought” or “scared to death.”
The volume of information held, the types of information, the mass of it, is mind boggling, even for me.
We’re going to touch on a few “pre-publishing” issues simply because time is running out with the election.
What I can say, early on, is that I get sick of finding fault with America. Unlike many, I am not bitter, don’t hate my own country, but I also no longer believe in the American people.
I find that “patriotic Americans” are a brave few, embattled, many inside the government and military still, many were eliminated during the Bush era, some returning under Obama but not enough.
The story we are going to look at today has to be painted with broad strokes. It starts with the Reagan administration but not with Reagan himself.
Those of us who worked for Reagan, and I have a group of friends and coworkers who were his direct advisors or who worked in military and intelligence positions, saw the change.
There were a series of scandals, all “erased by the sands of time,” such as “Iran/Contra” or “BCCI.” All are forgotten. What wasn’t seen was how the CIA was subverted by members of the Executive Branch, we are talking the Vice President, along with key members of the Pentagon and Congress.
America had long been saddled with foreign rule. It began well before 1913 when Woodrow Wilson pushed through the Federal Reserve Act, written on Jekyll Island by a banking cabal, a law meant to enslave America through manufactured economic disasters, war and debt.
Without the Federal Reserve, there would have been no World Wars, the truth goes that far.
This is why we have Mitt Romney instead of Ron Paul. Romney represents the European banking consortium and organized crime. His purpose is to unravel the roadblocks put in place by Obama, few and weak as they are due to our flawed system of “bought” government, and put us back into historical perspective.
This means a world war, more prisons, looted banks, all wealth shipped overseas and the eventual descent of America into third world status, depopulated, deindustrialized and enslaved.

This is what I have been told, what sits in his files, FBI, intelligence agencies, what can be proven, can be shown, what has been presented to every agency chief, every court, the leaders of congress, all have seen the files.

Over the past 24 hours there has been a serious deterioration in the mental condition of Donald Trump. This is simply a fact. Over weeks now, we suspect either the onset of a condition or, as we had been warned by (real) sources, Trump may be being poisoned slowly.
Russian intelligence believes this and told VT in Damascus. If poisoning can be proven, one set of actions needs to be taken, but Trump still needs to step aside.
If he is not being poisoned, he has to be removed from office and Pence needs to be allowed to take over the campaign and seek a vice presidential candidate.
There is a secondary issue behind this. We learned that Trump hasn’t been performing the duties of president for months now. He does photo ops, tweets, but is living the life of what he knows, a reality TV star. Behind the scenes, both the DHS under its Israeli controller, Chad Wolfe and the DOJ under its Opus Dei/Illuminati head, William Barr, are coordinating with sheriff and police departments in key regions to foment violence at the polls in order to justify sending the election to the court. Remember, 4 justices thought Al Gore won the 2000 election but 5 justices, all of them beholding to Kosher Nostra masters, the worst of the worst, put Bush in office and brought on stage one of the planned collapse of the United States. Trump and COVID 19 are “Stage Two.” This election is to be “Stage Three.” Wolfe is openly working with factions in Russia against the US and has withheld intelligence on Russian operations in the US from law enforcement. What is needed to survive is for remaining institutions, the Kosher Nostra controls: The US media and the internet, Google, Twitter, Facebook, CNN, Fox, Al Jazeera
The US Supreme Court, now by 5/3
The US Senate under the GOP
The US Department of Justice under William Barr
The US Department of Homeland Security under Chad Wolfe
The Joint Special Operations Command, seized by Neocons in 2005 and now under the control of a “star chamber” under St. Hubertus.

If violence begets violence, alliance produces a counter-alliance. The UAE-Bahrain-Israel agreements, called Abraham Accords, marks the beginning of an unholy alliance that aims to bring a decisive shift in the geo-political chessboard of the Middle East, allowing the UAE to increasingly project itself as the new ‘ring leader’ of the Gulf and making Israel the new security overlord, replacing the US.
Whereas the UAE’s move comes against the backdrop of its own search for regional dominance in the wake of declining Saudi clout, there is no gainsaying that the real locus of regional rivalry in the Middle East lies in Iran’s and Turkey’s own ambitions, pitting both the non-Arab states against their powerful Arab allies and their common enemy, Israel.
Since the Abraham Accords aim significantly to cut directly at the increasing influence of both Iran (in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen) and Turkey (in Syria, Iraq, Libya, the Mediterranean), a potential counter-alliance involving Iran, Turkey and even Qatar becomes a logical off-shoot.
This counter-alliance will not only be the new champion of the Palestinian cause, but also configure its relations in ways that would allow them to resist Israel’s stronger foothold in the region as well Gul-Arab hegemony.
As it stands, the Palestinians are already actively encouraging such an alliance. In a recent interview with Tehran Times, Khaled Al-Qaddoumi, the Hamas representative in Tehran said that the three countries, who are already benefiting from trade agreements need to establish a common political vision to counter the common enemy.
If the Abraham Accords have brought forth new forces and changed regional landscape, there is no to little denying that Turkey and Iran, already vying for power vis-à-vis the UAE and Saudia, will see merit in forming an alliances to prevent the UAE-Israel alignment from gaining game-changing strategic momentum in the years ahead.
Raw material for such an alliance already exists. Turkey and Iran have deep economic ties. Whereas Tehran already supplies Turkey with energy—oil & gas—leaders of the countries recently met in a virtual event of High-Level Cooperation Council and vowed to increase their bi-lateral trade, taking it up to an ambitious volume of US $30 billion. The joint declaration issued at the end of the event outlined the areas of cooperation, including Syria, Kurds and the Abraham Accords.
Not only did the statement call out the Accords an effort to “undermine the Palestinian question”, but also called for a two-state solution to the decades long conflict.
Their mutual interests tend to converge when it comes to tackling Kurds. The joint statement fully emphasized that “PKK/PJAK and all terrorist organizations in the region pose a common threat against the security of both Turkey and Iran” and “that it is incumbent upon both countries to fully utilize the existing cooperation mechanisms against the activities of PKK/PJAK elements and the other terrorist organizations along the common borders.”
The joint statement received Erdogan’s endorsement in a separate statement when he said that “Turkey and Iran dialogue has a decisive role in the solution of many regional problems.”

There was hostility and vindictiveness towards both countries. It also exists today. There is no way to be successful against such conspiracies other than by reinforcing friendly relations between the two countries.”
While there is no doubt that both Iran and Turkey have competed each for centuries, both of them have, in recent years, come across a number of reasons to compartmentalize their rivalry and make the most out of tactical convergence over a range of issues that the new regional realities offer.
This is particularly so when it comes to challenging the hegemony of Gulf-Arab states. They were able to come together when Arab states, led by Saudia and the UAE, had decided to impose a blockade on Qatar in 2017.
Both Iran and Turkey took significant steps to neutralize the impact of this blockade; hence, the high possibility of Qatar’s inclusion in the Turkey-Iran counter-alliance.

“We don’t think that normalisation was the core of this conflict and hence it can’t be the answer,” Lolwah al-Khater, Qatar’s foreign ministry spokesperson said on Monday in an interview with Bloomberg.
While it may be too early to predict what this counter-alliance will actually look like and whether it will become official or not, there is no gainsaying that strong reasons for this alliance do exist and all of these countries are already leaving traces to be picked up by their rivals.
As such, while Iran is already involved in a long-drawn power struggle vis-à-vis Gulf-Arab states and Israel, Turkey, too, is incensed, as it is already embroiled in a proxy war with the UAE in Libya and Syria. Turkish officials have accused the UAE of financial and logistical support for the Kurdistan Workers’ Party in northeastern Syria. Ankara and Abu Dhabi have also clashed over Qatar.

veteranstoday--2020-09-24--The Fake Afghanistan Talks: Qatar Hosting Drug Lords and Corrupt Officials of their Choosing

Rep. Stephen F. Lynch , the Chairman of the Subcommittee on National Security , RE : “ Intra -Afghan Talks ” in Qatar Are “ Intra-war lords/war profiteers intelligence agents and the aforementioned groups ’ offspring Talks ” .
Pursuant to the agreement executed on February 29 , 2020 by the United States and the Taliban , a key requisite was an “ Intra -Afghan ” meeting for peace .
However , the meeting presently being held in Qatar is not an “ Intra-Afghan ” meeting .
Conversely , it appears that these talks are dominated by documented war criminals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ aforementioned group ’ s offspring .
Once again , absent from both sides of the table are Afghan intellectuals , Afghan villagers including women and others from the Afghan majority , who have not profited from the past 40 years of war .
Foreign intelligence , such as Pakistan ’ s ISI , India ’ s RAW , the United States ’ CIA , Great Britain ’ s MI-6 and Israel ’ s Mossad have controlled who is invited to participate in these talks .
Unfortunately , it appears that these talks are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a U.S. election year .
By having the talks solely dominated by those participants , some who caused and many who profited from the decades of war , it appears that there is not a genuine intent for peace but only the continued greed and ethnic divide and conquer policy at play .
The past forty years have shown that the ethnic divide and conquer policy does not work as Afghans will not accept foreign or proxy rule .
As evidenced by the composition of the Qatar talks , it is apparent that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ethnic divide and conquer policy , as foreign interests and neighbors use Afghans for their own proxy wars .
The U.S. and international community is repeating the same mistake from the 2001 Bonn conference , by promoting war criminals , warlords , war profiteers and drug barons .
For example , notorious , communist warlord and documented human rights violator Rashid Dostum is represented at the talks by his son , Batur Dostum ( See Footnote 1 ) .
Warlord/war criminal/drug trafficker , Atta Noor , also is represented by his son , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fawzia Koofi , who comes from a family of documented drug traffickers and have also allegedly been involved in the sex trafficking of Afghan children , has been invited to represent her family .
Habiba Sarabi , an Afghan woman , who is a war profiteer , was invited .
She is a gatekeeper for the Hazara warlord Karim Khalili , who in the 1990s committed war crimes against the Afghan women such as pounding nails in their heads .
Ahmad Nader Naderi , who is a CIA agent associated with Karim Agha @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has been alleged to be laundering money .
This is a small sample set of current participants , who clearly have their own personal and foreign interests at the forefront vis-à-vis Afghan peace .
These participants do not represent “ an inclusive negotiating team of Afghans ” as Zalmay Khalizad referenced at a recent U.S. Congressional hearing .
Afghan villagers , the majority , especially Afghan women , are not represented at these Qatar talks .
These talks are once again “ exclusive ” of the Afghan villagers .
There can be no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leave Afghanistan .
There can be no peace and freedom in Afghanistan as long as foreigners and neighbors are interfering in the sovereignty of Afghanistan .
These participants and their families at the Qatar talks can not bring the desired peace ; these participants are the cause of the war and suffering of the Afghan people over the past four decades .
The solution for peace in Afghanistan and the region is straightforward .
Independent , educated Afghans both within and outside of Afghanistan whom have not benefited from the 40 years of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as they are well positioned to act on the behalf of the common Afghan and act as a bridge between the various factions for peace in order to jump start the rehabilitation of the country .
I have worked for peace for four decades .
I want true peace .
But I do not see these Qatar talks , with the present participants , as a way to peace .
It is just a farcical puppet show with the same performers .
1 .
Abdul Rashid Dostum is a documented war criminal .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Time magazine and Newsweek .
As reported in the Time on November 19 , 2001 , and in Newsweek , on November 5 , 2001 , Dostum and his group raped many Afghan women and children , “ …Dostum ’ s marauders chopped off breasts and tied the toes of women behind their heads.. ” Instead of prosecuting this criminal , my U.S. government ignores his war crimes , supports and keeps him on the payroll .
The United States government needs to follow the rule of law and international law .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ crimes and helping him commit new war crimes against the Afghan/Pashtun like recently in Faryab Province .
In addition , the Afghan majority have not forgotten about the war crimes committed by Dostum against the Pashtun tribesmen in November 2001 at Dasht-e-Leili .
Physicians for Human Rights and the New York Times have also extensively covered Abdul Rashid Dostum ’ s crimes :

RE: “Intra -Afghan Talks” in Qatar Are “Intra-war lords/war profiteers intelligence agents and the aforementioned groups’ offspring Talks”.
Dear Representative Lynch:
Pursuant to the agreement executed on February 29, 2020 by the United States and the Taliban, a key requisite was an “Intra -Afghan” meeting for peace. However, the meeting presently being held in Qatar is not an “Intra-Afghan” meeting. Conversely, it appears that these talks are dominated by documented war criminals, war profiteer intelligence agents and the aforementioned group’s offspring.
Once again, absent from both sides of the table are Afghan intellectuals, Afghan villagers including women and others from the Afghan majority, who have not profited from the past 40 years of war.
Foreign intelligence, such as Pakistan’s ISI, India’s RAW, the United States’ CIA, Great Britain’s MI-6 and Israel’s Mossad have controlled who is invited to participate in these talks. Unfortunately, it appears that these talks are just a farcical show put on during a U.S. election year.
By having the talks solely dominated by those participants, some who caused and many who profited from the decades of war, it appears that there is not a genuine intent for peace but only the continued greed and ethnic divide and conquer policy at play.
The past forty years have shown that the ethnic divide and conquer policy does not work as Afghans will not accept foreign or proxy rule.
As evidenced by the composition of the Qatar talks, it is apparent that war profiteers are pushing for the continued ethnic divide and conquer policy, as foreign interests and neighbors use Afghans for their own proxy wars.
The U.S. and international community is repeating the same mistake from the 2001 Bonn conference, by promoting war criminals, warlords, war profiteers and drug barons. For example, notorious, communist warlord and documented human rights violator Rashid Dostum is represented at the talks by his son, Batur Dostum (See Footnote 1). Warlord/war criminal/drug trafficker, Atta Noor, also is represented by his son, Khalid Noor,
At these talks. Fawzia Koofi, who comes from a family of documented drug traffickers and have also allegedly been involved in the sex trafficking of Afghan children, has been invited to represent her family.
Habiba Sarabi, an Afghan woman, who is a war profiteer, was invited. She is a gatekeeper for the Hazara warlord Karim Khalili, who in the 1990s committed war crimes against the Afghan women such as pounding nails in their heads.
Ahmad Nader Naderi, who is a CIA agent associated with Karim Agha Khan, is a participant. He has been alleged to be laundering money.
This is a small sample set of current participants, who clearly have their own personal and foreign interests at the forefront vis-à-vis Afghan peace.
These participants do not represent “an inclusive negotiating team of Afghans” as Zalmay Khalizad referenced at a recent U.S. Congressional hearing. Afghan villagers, the majority, especially Afghan women, are not represented at these Qatar talks. These talks are once again “exclusive” of the Afghan villagers.
The participants at the Qatar talks are not yearning for peace and unity; rather they yearn for a continued war and ethic division where they corruptly reap the power and excessive profits of war. They are representing the interests of themselves and their families, which interests are not aligned with those of the Afghan majority, the villagers.
There can be no peace in Afghanistan until the foreign troops leave Afghanistan. There can be no peace and freedom in Afghanistan as long as foreigners and neighbors are interfering in the sovereignty of Afghanistan. These participants and their families at the Qatar talks cannot bring the desired peace; these participants are the cause of the war and suffering of the Afghan people over the past four decades. The solution for peace in Afghanistan and the region is straightforward. Independent, educated Afghans both within and outside of Afghanistan whom have not benefited from the 40 years of violence must be included in Intra-Afghan talks as they are well positioned to act on the behalf of the common Afghan and act as a bridge between the various factions for peace in order to jump start the rehabilitation of the country.
I have worked for peace for four decades. I want true peace. But I do not see these Qatar talks, with the present participants, as a way to peace. It is just a farcical puppet show with the same performers.
Sincerely,
Kadir A. Mohmand
1. Abdul Rashid Dostum is a documented war criminal. He was the subject of articles in the Time magazine and Newsweek. As reported in the Time on November 19, 2001, and in Newsweek, on November 5, 2001, Dostum and his group raped many Afghan women and children, “…Dostum’s marauders chopped off breasts and tied the toes of women behind their heads..” Instead of prosecuting this criminal, my U.S. government ignores his war crimes, supports and keeps him on the payroll. The United States government needs to follow the rule of law and international law. Instead it is covering up these war crimes and helping him commit new war crimes against the Afghan/Pashtun like recently in Faryab Province. In addition, the Afghan majority have not forgotten about the war crimes committed by Dostum against the Pashtun tribesmen in November 2001 at Dasht-e-Leili. Physicians for Human Rights and the New York Times have also extensively covered Abdul Rashid Dostum’s crimes:

veteranstoday--2020-09-24--NEO: US’s anti-China/Russia Propaganda Campaigns

After the current political elite in the United States made waging and preparation for conflicts on various continents the focus of their foreign policy , they are continuously searching for , in an increasingly paranoid manner , new enemies of the United States who they could declare yet another war against and not necessarily a “ cold ” one .

After the current political elite in the United States made waging and preparation for conflicts on various continents the focus of their foreign policy, they are continuously searching for, in an increasingly paranoid manner, new enemies of the United States who they could declare yet another war against and not necessarily a “cold” one.
In order to further such aims, more and more money out of the state budget are allocated not only towards the US military industrial complex but also towards domestic propaganda campaigns. It is easy to understand why this is so.
After all, any war incited by those in power invariably starts with hysteria induced by propaganda campaigns aimed at deceiving their target audience at home and abroad, and manipulating them into saying “Yes!” to an upcoming war. This is how these elite circles gain public support for their militant policies.
Even in pre-historic times such tactics were used, and more recently, they were employed in Nazi Germany. And nowadays, the current US leadership has again decided to resort to this approach.
By employing various tools of influence, at present, Washington is actively spreading its pre-war propaganda among its allies, particularly within the European Union (currently, many of the EU member states are also part of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), led by the United States).
In fact, it has become increasingly difficult to mask the hatred and animosity felt by the US elite circles nowadays towards Russia, China, Iran, North Korea and Venezuela (and previously, towards the entire Socialist Bloc). The feelings run so deep that these politicians are willing to resolve their issues on the domestic front by militant means and by inciting anti-Russia and anti-China sentiments.
According to USA Today, a new survey, published by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center in 2020, “found a sharp uptick in the number of Americans who see China unfavorably”. “In 2018, just 47% of Americans held unfavorable views of China, but that figure” jumped 26% since then – to 73%. A Pew research associate has said that “China’s standing among the US public began to dip significantly in 2018 when trade rhetoric and the trade war was kind of taking off between the two countries and the downward spiral has continued with the Coronavirus pandemic”.
Interestingly, the poll also showed that “64% of Americans said China had done a bad job handling the pandemic, compared with 31% who said Beijing” had done a good job. It is hard to believe that such viewpoints are objective. After all, they are not based on official data.
The PRC managed to stop the spread of the novel Coronavirus in the end, unlike the United States. In addition, China is currently carrying out phase III trials of its locally developed vaccines, which could be ready for use as early as November. The United Sates is falling behind in the vaccine race in comparison.
The anti-China propaganda campaign, initiated by the White House, is preventing the US populace from accessing objective and reliable information. In fact, according to the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center (and not the anti-PRC smear campaign), the number of individuals testing positive for COVID-19 on a daily basis is on the rise in several US states.

The US leadership has not taken into account the fact that on the international political arena, recently, support for China and its foreign policy projects, such as the Belt and Road Initiative (which encompasses the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road) is growing unlike in the United States.
Not long ago, in the face of a growing race-related domestic crisis stemming in part from a failed response by the US leadership, the White House, in order to shift blame onto an external enemy, initiated, with support from the Department of State, the National Security Council and the US Department of Defense, yet another anti-China campaign accusing the PRC government of cultural genocide of Uyghurs.
The current developments are similar to the plot of George Orwell’s dystopian novel “Nineteen Eighty-Four”,according to Tony Kevin, an Australian career diplomat. In his article, he says that “Western propaganda that seems aimed at Moscow and Beijing is really intended for the citizens of the so-called Free World”. He also quotes journalist Caitlin Johnstone in his opinion piece:
“There is a slow-motion Third World War underway between the US-centralized power alliance and the nations like China which have resisted being absorbed into it, and that war is being largely facilitated by propaganda. If one doesn’t wish to become a propagandist themselves, one ought to withhold belief from the stories they are told about the terrible, awful things the unabsorbed nations are doing which require extensive sanctions, subversion and interventionism in response.”
Nowadays, such wars are often initially waged with the aid of bellicose rhetoric, sanctions and subversion. And US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and his obedient “minions”: US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper; British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab; leader of Britain’s Lab-our Party Keir Starmer, and numerous editors of Western media outlets toing his line are all actively involved in the aforementioned wars.
The fertile ground laid by the White House is actively used nowadays to start preparations for a conflict with Russia and China. General Gustave F.

According to Charles Brown Jr., who became the Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force on August 6, 2020, the United States has to be “prepared to fight through combat attrition rates and risks to the Nation that are more akin to the World War II era.”
Washington has been using its pre-war propaganda campaigns to focus on USA’s “external enemies”.
Unfortunately, at present (unlike the days of the Caribbean Crisis), there are few highly respected politicians in the United States capable of taking on the burden of responsibility and stopping the ongoing preparations for war by freeing the minds of ordinary Americans (and other people) of unnecessary worries about possible misfortunes, which could befall them as a result of efforts made by a number of political players to portray themselves in a certain light and to earn additional income from waging wars in the process.

What we do know is this, the group the FBI told congress is a right wing threat to the US isn’t the Three Percenters or some backwoods militia.
