veteranstoday--2020-10-28--How governments and media deliberately lied to you about Syria

Western government-funded intelligence cutouts trained Syrian opposition leaders , planted stories in media outlets from BBC to Al Jazeera , and ran a cadre of journalists .

Western government-funded intelligence cutouts trained Syrian opposition leaders, planted stories in media outlets from BBC to Al Jazeera, and ran a cadre of journalists. A trove of leaked documents exposes the propaganda network.
Originally published on The Grayzone, September 23rd, 2020
Update (September 29, 2020): A few days after this article was published, the authenticity of these leaked materials was indirectly confirmed by the British government, which reported that hundreds of Foreign Office documents detailing its Syria propaganda operations were hacked in an alleged cyber attack.
Leaked documents show how UK government contractors developed an advanced infrastructure of propaganda to stimulate support in the West for Syria’s political and armed opposition.
Virtually every aspect of the Syrian opposition was cultivated and marketed by Western government-backed public relations firms, from their political narratives to their branding, from what they said to where they said it.
The leaked files reveal how Western intelligence cutouts played the media like a fiddle, carefully crafting English- and Arabic-language media coverage of the war on Syria to churn out a constant stream of pro-opposition coverage.
US and European contractors trained and advised Syrian opposition leaders at all levels, from young media activists to the heads of the parallel government-in-exile. These firms also organized interviews for Syrian opposition leaders on mainstream outlets such as BBC and the UK’s Channel 4.
More than half of the stringers used by Al Jazeera in Syria were trained in a joint US-UK government program called Basma, which produced hundreds of Syrian opposition media activists.
Western government PR firms not only influenced the way the media covered Syria, but as the leaked documents reveal, they produced their own propagandistic pseudo-news for broadcast on major TV networks in the Middle East, including BBC Arabic, Al Jazeera, Al Arabiya, and Orient TV.
These UK-funded firms functioned as full-time PR flacks for the extremist-dominated Syrian armed opposition. One contractor, called InCoStrat, said it was in constant contact with a network of more than 1,600 international journalists and “influencers,” and used them to push pro-opposition talking points.
Another Western government contractor, ARK, crafted a strategy to “re-brand” Syria’s Salafi-jihadist armed opposition by “softening its image.” ARK boasted that it provided opposition propaganda that “aired almost every day on” major Arabic-language TV networks.
Virtually every major Western corporate media outlet was influenced by the UK government-funded disinformation campaign exposed in the trove of leaked documents, from the New York Times to the Washington Post, CNN to The Guardian, the BBC to Buzzfeed.
The files confirm reporting by journalists including The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal on the role of ARK, the US-UK government contractor, in popularizing the White Helmets in Western media. ARK ran the social media accounts of the White Helmets, and helped turn the Western-funded group into a key propaganda weapon of the Syrian opposition.
The leaked documents consist mainly of material produced under the auspices of the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office. All of the firms named in the files were contracted by the British government, but many also were running “multi-donor projects” that received funding from the governments of the United States and other Western European countries.
In addition to demonstrating the role these Western intelligence cutouts played in shaping media coverage, the documents shine light on the British government program to train and arm rebel groups in Syria.
Other materials show how London and Western governments worked together to build a new police force in opposition-controlled areas.
Many of these Western-backed opposition groups in Syria were extremist Salafi-jihadists. Some of the UK government contractors whose activities are exposed in these leaked documents were in effect supporting Syrian al-Qaeda affiliate Jabhat al-Nusra and its fanatical offshoots.
The documents were obtained by a group calling itself Anonymous, and were published under a series of files entitled, “Op. HMG [Her Majesty’s Government] Trojan Horse: From Integrity Initiative To Covert Ops Around The Globe. Part 1: Taming Syria.” The unidentified leakers said they aim to “expose criminal activity of the UK’s FCO and secret services,” stating, “We declare war on the British neocolonialism!”
The Grayzone was not able to independently verify the authenticity of the documents. However, the contents tracked closely with reporting on Western destabilization and propaganda operations in Syria by this outlet and many others. (Update: After this article was published, the UK government told Middle East Eye that Foreign Office documents concerning the work of its contractors in Syria had been hacked and published online.)
UK Foreign Office and military wage media war on Syria
Aleaked UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office report from 2014 reveals a joint operation with the Ministry of Defence and the Department for International Development to support “strategic communications, research, monitoring and evaluation and operational support to Syrian opposition entities.”
The UK FOC stated clearly that this campaign consisted of “creating network linkages between political movements and media outlets,” by the “building of local independent media platforms.”
The British government planned “Mentoring, training and coaching for enhanced delivery of media services, including digital and social media.”
Its goal was “to provide PR and media handling trainers, as well as technical staff, such as cameramen, webmasters and interpreters,” along with the “production of speeches, press releases and other media communications.”
An additional 2017 government document explains clearly how Britain funded the “selection, training, support and communications mentoring of Syrian activists who share the UK’s vision for a future Syria… and who will abide by a set of values that are consistent with UK policy.”
This initiative entailed British government funding “to support Syrian grassroots media activism within both the civilian and armed opposition spheres,” and was targeted at Syrians living in both “extremist and moderate” opposition-held territory.
In other words, the UK Foreign Office and military crafted plans to wage a comprehensive media war on Syria. To establish an infrastructure capable of managing the propaganda blitz, Britain paid a series of government contractors, including ARK, The Global Strategy Network (TGSN), Innovative Communication & Strategies (InCoStrat), and Albany.
The work of these firms overlapped, and some collaborated in their projects to cultivate the Syrian opposition.
Western government contractor ARK plays the media like the fiddle
One of the main British government contractors behind the Syria regime-change scheme was called ARK (Analysis Research Knowledge).
ARK FZC is based in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. It brands itself as a humanitarian NGO, claiming it “was created in order to assist the most vulnerable,” by establishing a “social enterprise, empowering local communities through the provision of agile and sustainable interventions to create greater stability, opportunity and hope for the future.”
In reality ARK is an intelligence cutout that functions as an arm of Western interventionism.
In a leaked document it filed with the British government, ARK said its “focus since 2012 has been delivering highly effective, politically-and conflict-sensitive Syria programming for the governments of the United Kingdom, United States, Denmark, Canada, Japan and the European Union.”
ARK boasted of overseeing $66 million worth of contracts to support pro-opposition efforts in Syria.
On its website, ARK lists all of these governments as clients, as well as the United Nations.

Below, we’ve tracked 10 indicators to show how the economy evolved under each president from Ronald Reagan to Trump. Keep in mind, each presidency started under different circumstances. George W. Bush’s first year in office was plagued by the dot-com bust and the September 11th attacks. Barack Obama’s started with the Great Recession, following a devastating housing crash and a global financial crisis.
Despite these crises, however, most recent presidents have presided over a growing economy during their time in office. The Trump presidency will be characterized by the country’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic, which is still playing out both as a health crisis and an economic one.

veteranstoday--2020-10-28--Heroes and Honor:  United States of America is About To Tell Us Who It Really Is

Great News Everyone !
This 2020 election will tell us who we really are and what we really stand for !
And that message will be sent around the world for everyone to see I just finished watching a movie from 1959 called “ John Paul Jones ” ; an epic story about a real man in U.S. history who became the Father of the United States Navy ; a respected Commander who , when asked to surrender , said “ I have not yet begun to fight !
” .
His story is told to everyone in our U.S. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ uniform a rock-solid foundation to which they can proudly stand and aspire to be .
During this movie , it clearly occurred to me what is missing in our current political discourse and why we are so lost .
It ’ s just one simple word ; HONOR !
HONOR is the word that is missing .
The reason the movie was so great , so poignant is that , at its core , is the virtue of HONOR .
It ’ s what the basis of our United States Navy is all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what it means to be a soldier in the United States Military .
And it ’ s HONOR that we expect from our leaders .
Without it , we are lost and our belief in country has NO meaning .
If we don ’ t fight for HONOR then what do we fight for ?
Donald Trump , while many believe in the policies he peddles , is a man of NO HONOR .
He is a five-time draft dodger , a true coward , who when his country called , lied about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of vanity , self-aggrandizement , and gluttony .
John Paul Jones was a man of HONOR .
He fought valiantly and became a true American Hero .
This is what we value .
This is why we tell his story .
Trump is and has always been a man of NO HONOR .
What story are we to tell of this poor excuse of a man ?
That he shagged a porn star in a room as his wife was entertaining in the next ?
That he lies daily in front of our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our country , he blamed it on the Chinese and decided it did NOT exist running away from it ?
Is that the story of a new American Hero ?
But I will go further… We all know the Christian Evangelical Right were wooed to support Donald Trump , not because he was a man of HONOR , but because he would get them what they were seeking in political power .
They used him .
In fact , they used one another .
Trump has never been a man of God .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Everyone knows this truth .
His sister Judge Mary has told us that !
But more , his actions throughout his life have demonstrated cowardice and pure greed ; never anything honorable .
And yet , the Christian Evangelicals stood with this man of No HONOR to get something for themselves .
This one action may have given them a Supreme Court sympathetic to their agenda but it was done without HONOR .
This is what rings so hollow .
The achievement is worthless .
They sacrificed their HONOR and dignity and instead @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now has no meaning at all .
If achieved with dignity and respect , it would be honorable .
But it was not .
And that ’ s what is missing ; HONOR .
You know , the stories of the United States of America and why it stands have always been about HONOR .
We tell the story of a young George Washington who chopped the cherry tree down and when asked if he did it , said “ I can not tell a lie… ” .
He admitted to the crime @ @ @ @ @ @ @ truth .
We tell the stories of Honest Abe Lincoln .
Why ?
Just using the word “ Honest ” before his name says it all .
In the rough world of politics where political snakes slither and amoral wolves feed , we admire honesty and HONOR as virtues .
Thus we tell the stories and give it weight in our culture .
But why is HONOR so important ?
Today , we have the most dis-HONORable man as President of the United States of America .
Everyone knows he is disHONORable .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ usually answer with , we know and we don ’ t care .
And that ’ s the problem .
His supporters don ’ t care about HONOR .
Greed has replaced HONOR in this group .
This what confuses the rest of us and the world .
It goes against the stories we tell about ourselves .
The world does NOT know who we are anymore and neither do we .
In our leaders , we have always chosen men and women of HONOR .
Yes , we may disagree with their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ engage in stern firm political discourse , but HONOR has always been a cornerstone for American leadership .
Whether it ’ s General Dwight D. Eisenhower who led our forces in World War II or Ensign John F. Kennedy who saved his crew on PT-109 , HONOR has always been something we valued .
And when we found out that a leader has disHONORed his office , for example ; Richard Nixon , we expect and got his resignation .
He was disHONORable and paid the price living out the rest of his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ values .
American values : What are they now ?
Well , in 6 more days we will find out .
The citizens of the United States of America will be voting to either retain a disHONORable man and reconfirm the loss of HONOR as a national virtue or they will choose to reclaim honor and vote for Joseph Biden , a true family man of the Christian faith who has served his country for over 47 years .
A man who presides over a military family HONORably .
Of course , we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ decisions , but there is no doubt that he is a man of character ; a family man who , in the face of adversity , has overcome the loss of his first wife and children to rise , in HONOR , to be available to the citizens of the United States as its next Commander-In-Chief .
Finally , let ’ s remember that many voters said , in 2016 , they did NOT know Trump .
They said they found Hillary so objectionable that they gave Donald Trump a chance .
He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he must know something .
So they voted for him .
Good intentions indeed .
But now , in 2020 , everyone knows Donald Trump .
We have seen him every day in our lives .
Everyone knows he is NOT an HONORable man .
If we choose him , then we will be collectively confirming our virtues of greed and gluttony before honor .
If we reject him , it will be because we reject his complete absence of character and lack of HONOR .
In short , it will be because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of greed and gluttony .
It is my view that we must choose HONOR .
Because with it , we can change the world .
Without it , we are lost and have NOTHING to offer except meaningless greed and gluttony that we can flush down a worthless Trump-branded golden toilet .
But I am only one vote .
Let ’ s see what you , the people of the United States of America say .
Who are you ?
Who are we ?
We are about to find out !

I just finished watching a movie from 1959 called “John Paul Jones”; an epic story about a real man in U.S. history who became the Father of the United States Navy; a respected Commander who, when asked to surrender, said “I have not yet begun to fight!”. His story is told to everyone in our U.S. Navy giving our men and women in uniform a rock-solid foundation to which they can proudly stand and aspire to be.
During this movie, it clearly occurred to me what is missing in our current political discourse and why we are so lost. It’s just one simple word; HONOR!
HONOR is the word that is missing.
The reason the movie was so great, so poignant is that, at its core, is the virtue of HONOR. It’s what the basis of our United States Navy is all about. HONOR is the basis of what it means to be a soldier in the United States Military. And it’s HONOR that we expect from our leaders. Without it, we are lost and our belief in country has NO meaning. If we don’t fight for HONOR then what do we fight for?
Donald Trump, while many believe in the policies he peddles, is a man of NO HONOR. He is a five-time draft dodger, a true coward, who when his country called, lied about having bone-spurs and ran into the arms of vanity, self-aggrandizement, and gluttony.
John Paul Jones was a man of HONOR. He fought valiantly and became a true American Hero. This is what we value. This is why we tell his story. Trump is and has always been a man of NO HONOR. What story are we to tell of this poor excuse of a man? That he shagged a porn star in a room as his wife was entertaining in the next? That he lies daily in front of our faces and, when a Pandemic hit our country, he blamed it on the Chinese and decided it did NOT exist running away from it? Is that the story of a new American Hero?
But I will go further…
We all know the Christian Evangelical Right were wooed to support Donald Trump, not because he was a man of HONOR, but because he would get them what they were seeking in political power. They used him. In fact, they used one another. Trump has never been a man of God. He has no virtues or beliefs. Everyone knows this truth. His sister Judge Mary has told us that!
But more, his actions throughout his life have demonstrated cowardice and pure greed; never anything honorable. And yet, the Christian Evangelicals stood with this man of No HONOR to get something for themselves. This one action may have given them a Supreme Court sympathetic to their agenda but it was done without HONOR. This is what rings so hollow. The achievement is worthless. They sacrificed their HONOR and dignity and instead, choose gluttony and greed. It now has no meaning at all. If achieved with dignity and respect, it would be honorable. But it was not. And that’s what is missing; HONOR.
You know, the stories of the United States of America and why it stands have always been about HONOR.
We tell the story of a young George Washington who chopped the cherry tree down and when asked if he did it, said “I cannot tell a lie…”. He admitted to the crime giving us the value of telling the truth. We tell the stories of Honest Abe Lincoln. Why? Just using the word “Honest” before his name says it all. In the rough world of politics where political snakes slither and amoral wolves feed, we admire honesty and HONOR as virtues. Thus we tell the stories and give it weight in our culture.
But why is HONOR so important?
Today, we have the most dis-HONORable man as President of the United States of America. Everyone knows he is disHONORable. Even his supporters admit it. They usually answer with, we know and we don’t care. And that’s the problem. His supporters don’t care about HONOR. Greed has replaced HONOR in this group. This what confuses the rest of us and the world. It goes against the stories we tell about ourselves. The world does NOT know who we are anymore and neither do we.
In our leaders, we have always chosen men and women of HONOR. Yes, we may disagree with their policies, question their decisions, and engage in stern firm political discourse, but HONOR has always been a cornerstone for American leadership.
Whether it’s General Dwight D. Eisenhower who led our forces in World War II or Ensign John F. Kennedy who saved his crew on PT-109, HONOR has always been something we valued. And when we found out that a leader has disHONORed his office, for example; Richard Nixon, we expect and got his resignation. He was disHONORable and paid the price living out the rest of his days in shame. These were our values.
American values: What are they now?

The citizens of the United States of America will be voting to either retain a disHONORable man and reconfirm the loss of HONOR as a national virtue or they will choose to reclaim honor and vote for Joseph Biden, a true family man of the Christian faith who has served his country for over 47 years. A man who presides over a military family HONORably.
Of course, we may disagree with Biden policies and his decisions, but there is no doubt that he is a man of character; a family man who, in the face of adversity, has overcome the loss of his first wife and children to rise, in HONOR, to be available to the citizens of the United States as its next Commander-In-Chief.
Finally, let’s remember that many voters said, in 2016, they did NOT know Trump. They said they found Hillary so objectionable that they gave Donald Trump a chance. He seemed like a successful businessman and so he must know something. So they voted for him. Good intentions indeed.
But now, in 2020, everyone knows Donald Trump. We have seen him every day in our lives. Everyone knows he is NOT an HONORable man. If we choose him, then we will be collectively confirming our virtues of greed and gluttony before honor. If we reject him, it will be because we reject his complete absence of character and lack of HONOR. In short, it will be because we choose HONOR and NOT the sins of greed and gluttony.
It is my view that we must choose HONOR. Because with it, we can change the world. Without it, we are lost and have NOTHING to offer except meaningless greed and gluttony that we can flush down a worthless Trump-branded golden toilet. But I am only one vote. Let’s see what you, the people of the United States of America say. Who are you? Who are we? We are about to find out!
Godspeed America!

veteranstoday--2020-10-28--Fink’s Bar: The Shocking Truth About Bibi, Trump and Why COVID will Kill 6 Million Americans

VT : We are now told that between 2 and 6 million Americans will die of COVID .
We also know , from our many months of tracking real statistics on COVID that it is bio-engineered in the US ( UNC with USAID funds ) and kills based on preprogrammed social engineering criteria .
COVID is eugenics , based on Frankist principles from 19th century Poland , where the Netanyahu ( Benjamin Mileikowsky ) and Trump ( Drumpf ) ancestors formed a Luciferian pact to replace Christ with the orange buffoon .
We have been reminded that this piece from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at Israel for the current state of affairs in the US , near civil war , armed gangs of fake prison guards waiting to be deployed to block an election and a suicidal civil insurrection by MKUltra zombie Trumptards .
Read why… Why the U.S. did not remove Saddam Hussein from Iraq during the First Gulf War has affected all U.S.-Mideast policy since 1990 .
U.S. President GHW Bush brought a broad coalition of Muslim/Mideast , European and other militaries to Iraq – the largest in history assembled for a single purpose – @ @ @ @ @ @ @ U.S. succeed ?
Syria ’ s Assad supported President Bush , as per Bush ’ s request .
Syrian head of state Hafez al-Assad , father of 2014-elected Syrian president Bashar al-Assad , supported the U.S. by sending armored divisions to Iraq to oust Saddam Hussein .
However , after the largest bombing campaign since Vietnam , Saddam Hussein survived in Iraq .
Why ?
Who wanted Saddam in Iraq ?
The answers are complex ; but for now , we can say this : Saddam in Iraq was vital to Bibi Netanyahu @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Iran .
In U.S. President Bill Clinton ’ s later years ( 1997+ ) , ‘ Clean Break ’ project experts at Project for a New American Century revisited the Saddam/Iraq issue and sought amends .
After U.S. and others destroyed Iraq with Gulf War 1 and US/UN-Iraq sanctions ( while leaving Saddam in place ) , Bibi and his loyalists ( NeoCons+ ) needed a reason for U.S. to remain in Mideast , since Iraq was no longer a threat to Iran .
ISIS/ISIL ( IS/Daesh ) to the rescue… Recently @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Obama , Hillary , Trump and Putin need Russia and U.S. to remain in Iraq and/or Syria .
If not , then ‘ raison d ’ être ’ … Since 1997+ , the U.S. has needed permanent war to justify its existence in the Mideast .
Prior to and after October 2015 , both Russia and the U.S. needed IS/Daesh .
Otherwise , their presence in Mideast would be unnecessary .
Other Mideast terrorists were a bonus .
As constitutional and national security crises loom in U.S. and around the world , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their ugly heads .
To know “ What ’ s Next ?
” and to avoid World War 3 , President Donald Trump and others may need to know how the U.S. arrived at today .
Otherwise , Trump and others will repeat the history that they do not know .
In two Gulf wars and otherwise , current Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin ( “ Bibi ” ) Netanyahu and others played a significant role in this history .
Let us return now to Bibi and the thrilling days of yesteryear… In 1990 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being Israel ’ s UN ambassador in New York , and before the First Gulf War , Bibi Netanyahu was in Jerusalem at Fink ’ s Bar – dining and drinking with high level U.S. Embassy staff and others .
Bibi and his loyalist group at a Fink ’ s Bar private table in Jerusalem had just stolen five ( 5 ) NSA-developed KG-84A cryptographic devices in Golan Heights ( with help from Canadians serving with the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization ) , giving Bibi , his loyalists and others real-time access @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and NATO communications .
This is what Bibi Netanyahu said while sitting at the head of that private table in Fink ’ s Bar ( transcribed from a secretly recorded audio of Netanyahu at that meeting – words that few Americans , Israelis or others have seen or heard until today ) : “ If we get caught , they will just replace us with persons of the same cloth .
So , it does not matter what you do .
America is a golden calf ; and we will suck it dry @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it off piece by piece until there is nothing left but the world ’ s biggest welfare state that we will create and control .
Why ?
Because it is the will of God , and America is big enough to take the hit ; so , we can do it again and again and again .
This is what we do to countries that we hate .
We destroy them very slowly and make them suffer for refusing to be our slaves.
” [ Confirmed by an “ attendee ” during a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pre-1988 time in the U.S. as Israel ’ s UN ambassador , Bibi was also Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard ’ s “ handler ” for others in Israel , as per VT staff who worked closely with President GHW Bush and his National Security Council .
Then and afterwards , Bibi was also a spy for USSR and Russia , as per VT sources .
Thanks to Bibi , U.S. intel stolen by Pollard also went to Russia .
That ’ s what U.S. intel has not yet said ( i.e.
, TS+ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Iran/Iraq War , Israel bombed Iraq ’ s nuclear facilities at Osirak – supposedly to protect Israel from a nuclear attack by Iraq .
However , during the war , if Saddam had a nuclear weapon , Iraq ’ s first target would have been Iran – not Israel .
So , Israel may have protected Iran ( for which some Iranians are begrudgingly grateful ) .
During the Iran/Iraq War ( 1980-88 ) , some/many Israelis , Americans and others were saying , ‘ Let the Muslims kill each other.
’ But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Bibi ’ s loyalists needed a strong Saddam in Iraq as a continuing enemy of Iran , which was and is Israel ’ s most powerful economic and geopolitical rival in the Mideast .
So , Bibi and his ‘ visionary ’ loyalists did not want Saddam to be removed during the 1991 First Gulf War .
President George H.W .
Bush learned of the Israeli espionage and theft of NSA KG-84A encryption devices during the First Gulf War , noting that America would be defenseless against Russia in a nuclear war @ @ @ @ @ @ @ loyalists wished , the U.S. then pulled out of Iraq earlier than planned — leaving Saddam in place ( 1991+ ) .
During the First Gulf War ( +/-96 hours ) , an implicit/explicit risk was this : Had Saddam been removed , with subsequent U.S. occupation of Iraq , the occupation would be a foundation for orchestrating geopolitical confrontations that would escalate into WW3 ( nuclear+ ) – with careful ‘ guidance ’ in Washington and Moscow to ensure the result .
Above is the little-known history of why the U.S. did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ War .
The above events influenced all subsequent history in the Mideast .
President Donald J. Trump , former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and Trump ’ s continuing military and foreign policy advisers may or may not know this history .
The above vulnerabilities , combined with spying by Hansen and Pollard ( both working for Israel+ ) and by others more successfully protected by AIPAC , made 9/11 possible – by ensuring that America ’ s enemies had daily access to decryption keys and intel .
You and a few others @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nuke weapon launch codes openly conveyed to White House switchboard operators on September 11 , 2001 .
By 2001 , one of the above espionage suspects would assume a U.S. cabinet post ; one would become the president ’ s chief counter-terrorism advisor ; and another would be special envoy to Afghanistan during the initial stages of the US-Afghan War .
Their close cohorts continue to control the New York field office of the FBI until this very day ( including 2016 U.S. elections ) ; and others continue to control the National @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
We call them “ the usual suspects.
” Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin ( “ Bibi ” ) Netanyahu will visit President Donald J. Trump and the White House on February 15 ( today ) .
Trump ’ s son-in-law and special advisor Jared Kushner has played and will play a role in Trump ’ s relations with Bibi and Israel – as will Trump ’ s Chief Strategist Steve Bannon , who has an office near Bibi in Israel .
In VT ’ s recent Intel Drop , VT authors disparaged Bannon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are going to take things on with a rough attempt at stating their importance , the biggest disaster is Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner ; Kushner is a pig-skinned little toad with an Israeli passport who served in the IDF .

Too harsh by half ?
After 9/11 , Netanyahu told Israeli media outlets that the events of 9/11 had helped Israel to get U.S. President George W. Bush , the U.S. military and others to ‘ wake up to what Israelis face every day.
’ As usual , mainstream media ignored Bibi ’ s 9/11 cheerleading .
As per firsthand knowledge and investigations by VT authors , staff and sources , Bibi and Bibi ’ s Israeli/U.S./other loyalists were involved in the planning and execution of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ boys and girls were also present in New York and New Jersey on 9/11/01 – openly filming and celebrating 9/11 events .

VT: We are now told that between 2 and 6 million Americans will die of COVID. We also know, from our many months of tracking real statistics on COVID that it is bio-engineered in the US (UNC with USAID funds) and kills based on preprogrammed social engineering criteria. COVID is eugenics, based on Frankist principles from 19th century Poland, where the Netanyahu (Benjamin Mileikowsky) and Trump (Drumpf) ancestors formed a Luciferian pact to replace Christ with the orange buffoon.
We have been reminded that this piece from now deceased Thomas Mattingly points the finger at Israel for the current state of affairs in the US, near civil war, armed gangs of fake prison guards waiting to be deployed to block an election and a suicidal civil insurrection by MKUltra zombie Trumptards. Read why…
By Thomas J. Mattingly – 15 February 2017
Why the U.S. did not remove Saddam Hussein from Iraq during the First Gulf War has affected all U.S.-Mideast policy since 1990. U.S. President GHW Bush brought a broad coalition of Muslim/Mideast, European and other militaries to Iraq – the largest in history assembled for a single purpose – to oust Saddam. Why did the U.S. not succeed?
Syria’s Assad supported President Bush, as per Bush’s request. Syrian head of state Hafez al-Assad, father of 2014-elected Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, supported the U.S. by sending armored divisions to Iraq to oust Saddam Hussein. However, after the largest bombing campaign since Vietnam, Saddam Hussein survived in Iraq. Why?
Who wanted Saddam in Iraq? The answers are complex; but for now, we can say this: Saddam in Iraq was vital to Bibi Netanyahu and his loyalists – as a balance to Iran.
In U.S. President Bill Clinton’s later years (1997+), ‘Clean Break’ project experts at Project for a New American Century revisited the Saddam/Iraq issue and sought amends.
After U.S. and others destroyed Iraq with Gulf War 1 and US/UN-Iraq sanctions (while leaving Saddam in place), Bibi and his loyalists (NeoCons+) needed a reason for U.S. to remain in Mideast, since Iraq was no longer a threat to Iran. ISIS/ISIL (IS/Daesh) to the rescue… Recently and now, Bibi/Israel, GW Bush, Obama, Hillary, Trump and Putin all need Russia and U.S. to remain in Iraq and/or Syria. If not, then NO ‘raison d’être’ …
Since 1997+, the U.S. has needed permanent war to justify its existence in the Mideast.
Prior to and after October 2015, both Russia and the U.S. needed IS/Daesh. Otherwise, their presence in Mideast would be unnecessary. Other Mideast terrorists were a bonus.
As constitutional and national security crises loom in U.S. and around the world, 9/11 history and Mideast+ conflicts again rear their ugly heads.
To know “What’s Next?” and to avoid World War 3, President Donald Trump and others may need to know how the U.S. arrived at today. Otherwise, Trump and others will repeat the history that they do not know. In two Gulf wars and otherwise, current Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin (“Bibi”) Netanyahu and others played a significant role in this history. Let us return now to Bibi and the thrilling days of yesteryear…

Bibi and Fink’s Bar (1990)
In 1990, after returning to Israel and after being Israel’s UN ambassador in New York, and before the First Gulf War, Bibi Netanyahu was in Jerusalem at Fink’s Bar – dining and drinking with high level U.S. Embassy staff and others.
Bibi and his loyalist group at a Fink’s Bar private table in Jerusalem had just stolen five (5) NSA-developed KG-84A cryptographic devices in Golan Heights (with help from Canadians serving with the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization), giving Bibi, his loyalists and others real-time access to all U.S. State Department, U.S. Navy and NATO communications.
This is what Bibi Netanyahu said while sitting at the head of that private table in Fink’s Bar (transcribed from a secretly recorded audio of Netanyahu at that meeting – words that few Americans, Israelis or others have seen or heard until today):
“If we get caught, they will just replace us with persons of the same cloth. So, it does not matter what you do. America is a golden calf; and we will suck it dry, chop it up, and sell it off piece by piece until there is nothing left but the world’s biggest welfare state that we will create and control. Why? Because it is the will of God, and America is big enough to take the hit; so, we can do it again and again and again. This is what we do to countries that we hate. We destroy them very slowly and make them suffer for refusing to be our slaves.” [Confirmed by an “attendee” during a debriefing.]

Bibi Netanyahu Is a Russian Spy
During Bibi’s pre-1988 time in the U.S. as Israel’s UN ambassador, Bibi was also Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard’s “handler” for others in Israel, as per VT staff who worked closely with President GHW Bush and his National Security Council. Then and afterwards, Bibi was also a spy for USSR and Russia, as per VT sources. Thanks to Bibi, U.S. intel stolen by Pollard also went to Russia. That’s what U.S. intel has not yet said (i.e., TS+).
In 1984, during the Iran/Iraq War, Israel bombed Iraq’s nuclear facilities at Osirak – supposedly to protect Israel from a nuclear attack by Iraq. However, during the war, if Saddam had a nuclear weapon, Iraq’s first target would have been Iran – not Israel. So, Israel may have protected Iran (for which some Iranians are begrudgingly grateful).
During the Iran/Iraq War (1980-88), some/many Israelis, Americans and others were saying, ‘Let the Muslims kill each other.’ But before, during and after the war, Bibi’s loyalists needed a strong Saddam in Iraq as a continuing enemy of Iran, which was and is Israel’s most powerful economic and geopolitical rival in the Mideast. So, Bibi and his ‘visionary’ loyalists did not want Saddam to be removed during the 1991 First Gulf War.
President George H.W. Bush learned of the Israeli espionage and theft of NSA KG-84A encryption devices during the First Gulf War, noting that America would be defenseless against Russia in a nuclear war.
As Bibi and his Israeli/Russian/U.S. loyalists wished, the U.S. then pulled out of Iraq earlier than planned — leaving Saddam in place (1991+).
During the First Gulf War (+/-96 hours), an implicit/explicit risk was this: Had Saddam been removed, with subsequent U.S. occupation of Iraq, the occupation would be a foundation for orchestrating geopolitical confrontations that would escalate into WW3 (nuclear+) – with careful ‘guidance’ in Washington and Moscow to ensure the result.

We call them “the usual suspects.”

Bibi ‘Trumps’ America!
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin (“Bibi”) Netanyahu will visit President Donald J. Trump and the White House on February 15 (today). Trump’s son-in-law and special advisor Jared Kushner has played and will play a role in Trump’s relations with Bibi and Israel – as will Trump’s Chief Strategist Steve Bannon, who has an office near Bibi in Israel.
In VT’s recent Intel Drop, VT authors disparaged Bannon and Kushner as follows:
“We are going to take things on with a rough attempt at stating their importance, the biggest disaster is Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner; Kushner is a pig-skinned little toad with an Israeli passport who served in the IDF. He is one of the most unremarkable people on earth, the talent and intellect Uber missed his pickup spot. He is the primary advisor to the President of the United States in areas of national security, behind him is Benjamin Netanyahu and anyone who doesn’t know that Netanyahu both despises the United States and is utterly insane is not paying attention.
“Then we have Steve Bannon, a failed blogger and a real Jew hater who sees himself as the ultimate American tough guy; no military experience, a potty mouth and a long history of screaming at people in line at Starbucks. Like Kushner, Bannon has spent his life as a toad and ass kisser.”
On Trump’s National Security Council, Bannon displaced Trump’s Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair and Trump’s Director of National Intelligence, who are now “optional.” Bannon and Kushner were two of a small number involved in decision-making processes on Trump’s failed Yemen raid (which killed one or more U.S. special forces soldiers and an indeterminate number of Yemeni women and children) – with questionable results, at best.
A slightly more sane National Security Adviser to Trump (retired Marine Corps General Michael Flynn) will no longer be present as Trump’s counter-insanity adviser.
Given the truth of the above claims about Bibi, Bannon and Kushner, VT’s “Intel Drop” may have sardonically engaged in significant understatement. Too harsh by half?
Postscript
After 9/11, Netanyahu told Israeli media outlets that the events of 9/11 had helped Israel to get U.S. President George W. Bush, the U.S. military and others to ‘wake up to what Israelis face every day.’ As usual, mainstream media ignored Bibi’s 9/11 cheerleading.
As per firsthand knowledge and investigations by VT authors, staff and sources, Bibi and Bibi’s Israeli/U.S./other loyalists were involved in the planning and execution of 9/11. Bibi’s Israeli intel boys and girls were also present in New York and New Jersey on 9/11/01 – openly filming and celebrating 9/11 events. Bibi now returns to celebrate…
9/11 was intended to lead to the U.S. bombing, invasion and occupation of Iraq, Syria and Iran — and the takeovers of several other countries, as per U.S. General and NATO commander Wesley Clark (retired).
Bibi, U.S. and others installed Morsi as Egyptian president to order the Egyptian military to join the invasion of Syria to oust Bashar al-Assad. Not! When the Egyptian people and military ousted Morsi, then Russia, China & Mideast nations rushed to fill the void.
Such conflicts were designed to escalate into a nuclear World War 3 with Russia and others – in which the U.S. would lose . This is what Trump, others and we confront today – with Flynn no longer present and Netanyahu in town to persuade Trump & Co.
During the presidency of George W. Bush, I was involved in activities related to Iran. See my VT article, “Beavis & Butt-head ‘Do’ Iran – and World War 3.”
In the 2000s, Bibi & GW Bush ‘Did’ Iran. In 2017+, will Bibi & Trump reprise the roles?
Former directors of Israeli military and intelligence groups know the above and that Bibi is not good for Israel or Israelis (or for America). So, they openly opposed Bibi during the last Knesset elections. Regardless, Bibi is Israeli PM; and Bibi controls Israel. In the fairly near future, Israel will probably hold new elections, which Bibi will probably lose.
VT’s recent “Intel Drop” and other VT articles on U.S. elections indicate that U.S. election skewing and rigging were done by Bibi, Bibi loyalists, an international criminal cabal, and U.S. intel and law enforcement agencies in which Bibi and loyalists have much influence. Democrats say ‘Putin and Russians did it!’ Such BS. However: …
If or since a small group of Israeli/Russian/U.S. oligarchs and mafia types may now control Bibi, Putin and Trump (before and after elections), both assertions may be true.

She married for money, posed for some porn, lied about her education and how many languages she speaks. Oh. She tore apart Jackie’s rose garden. That’s unforgivable. pic.twitter.com/zDCnjuACxx — Mir.I.am (@celiacgirl) October 23, 2020

#FakeMelania A stripper named Melania married Trump & got pregnant with his son. While she was pregnant, Trump cheats on her with a porn star. Can’t make this shit up. The current residents in the WH aren’t very presidential 😝 #Vote Blue pic.twitter.com/ygFlgK19S2 — DaNice D. Marshall (@TechnyGal) October 25, 2020
.@FLOTUS, the daughter of a communist leader who came to the U.S. as a “model,” broke laws, defrauded the immigration system, married a Russian asset, spread birther conspiracies about a U.S. President, and gaslit Americans while her hubby works for Putin & locked kids in cages. https://t.co/otY7xZL26F — Alexandra Chalupa (@AlexandraChalup) October 28, 2020
Traditional Donald Trump values like grabbing pussy, raping women, having unprotected sex w porn stars while you Melania are at home with a new baby. Values like lying, cheating, bullying, demeaning, insulting people & mocking the disabled OH & kissing up to thuggish dictators. https://t.co/Dz7qEH2aPR — Mary Kay (@MKay54) October 28, 2020
Melania has been conspicuously absent from the campaign trail. If she doesn't go to swing states & read robotically from a teleprompter, Republicans will lose the "Slovenian trophy wife who flunked out of college" vote.#FakeMelania pic.twitter.com/cMQoDwefP5 — Fifty Shades of Whey (@davenewworld_2) October 25, 2020
I believe that Melania is sick and has been for a while. Listen to those tapes-she’s sick in the head. Who goes to the border to visit kids in cages & wear a jacket to make it about her. She talked about coyotes…She’s as sick as her husband. Does she have Covid – I don’t care pic.twitter.com/bEnfU9Kcg0 — Alison Greene (@GrassrootsSpeak) October 25, 2020

Meanwhile his supporters are literally dying and the economy is in shambles… When will the people wake up and realize they were the victims of another one of Trump's cons…??#OutInTheCold #TrumpAbandonedOmaha #TrumpFailedAmerica https://t.co/KXGnf7hTgo — Bladdyblah (@bladdyblahblahb) October 28, 2020
Woman stranded at MAGA rally in Omaha says Trump wanted to teach them a lesson pic.twitter.com/SvqYw5MnOZ — blaire erskine (@blaireerskine) October 28, 2020
Last night, Trump left thousands of his supporters out in the freezing cold for three hours in Omaha, Nebraska. Many of them got hypothermia. He has been holding rallies at airports that can only be reached by bus or plane, so the Trump campaign is in charge of bussing people. https://t.co/Fh76AxzaoR — Jakhari (@goldenpanther21) October 28, 2020
Trump stiffed the bus company he promised to pay and they left. If this is the first time this criminal has refused to pay a just debt in NEBRASKA count yourselves lucky. https://t.co/bMCWjLiRPM — kimshurtleff (@kimshurtleff) October 28, 2020
