Another “take the oil” moment for the Trump Administration, one of the more regrettable aspects of his presidency, but one which has been consistently championed by hawks like John Bolton and Mike Pompeo.

The US confirmed on Friday that it seized 1.116 million barrels of Iranian fuel that was bound for Venezuela. President Trump said the four oil tankers that are carrying the fuel are headed to Houston.
“We have four tankers. They are going to Houston, and they’re there … Iran is not supposed to be doing that. And so we did — we seized the tankers, and we’re moving them, and moved, to Houston,” President Trump said at a press conference on Friday.
It is not clear how exactly the shipment was seized. With US sanctions on Venezuela targeting the maritime industry, it is possible the shipowners were threatened with the loss of registration or insurance, which could have been enough for them to comply and sail to a US port.
The Department of Justice said in a statement on the matter that the US filed a complaint “seeking to forfeit all petroleum-product cargo aboard four foreign-flagged oil tankers.” The DOJ statement said with “the assistance of foreign powers,” the seized fuel is now in “US custody.”
With both countries under heavy US sanctions, Venezuela and Iran are natural trading partners. Venezuela is facing a gasoline shortage, with US sanctions making it impossible for the oil-rich country to process oil into gasoline. Iranian tankers carrying gas made it to Venezuela in May, drawing the ire of Washington.

21stcenturywire--2020-08-19--RFK Jr. Sues Facebook, Zuckerberg and So-Called ‘Fact-Checkers’ for Vaccine Censorship

Washington , DC – Children ’ s Health Defense ( CHD ) filed a lawsuit on Monday in San Francisco Federal Court charging Facebook , Mark Zuckerberg , and three fact-checking outfits with censoring truthful public health posts and for fraudulently misrepresenting and defaming CHD .
According to CHD ’ s Complaint , Facebook has insidious conflicts with the Pharmaceutical industry and its captive health agencies and has economic stakes in telecom and 5G .
Facebook currently censors CHD ’ s page , targeting its purge against factual information about vaccines , 5G and public health agencies .
Facebook acknowledges @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the WHO and the CDC .
While earlier court decisions have upheld Facebook ’ s right to censor its pages , CHD argues that Facebook ’ s pervasive government collaborations make its censorship of CHD a First Amendment violation .
The government ’ s role in Facebook ’ s censorship goes deeper than its close coordination with CDC and WHO .
The Facebook censorship began at the suggestion of powerful Democratic Congressman and Intelligence Committee Chairman Representative Adam Schiff , who in March 2019 asked Facebook to suppress and purge internet content critical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Schiff use the term “ misinformation ” as a euphemism for any statement , whether truthful or not , that contradicts official government pronouncements .
The WHO issued a press release commending Facebook for coordinating its ongoing censorship campaign with public health officials .
That same day , Facebook published a “ warning label ” on CHD ’ s page , which implies that CHD ’ s content is inaccurate , and directs CHD followers to turn to the CDC for “ reliable , up to date information.
” This is an important @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of government authority to openly censor unwanted critique of government Attorneys Robert F. Kennedy , Jr. , Roger Teich , and Mary Holland represent Children ’ s Health Defense in the litigation .
The lawsuit also challenges Facebook ’ s use of so-called “ independent fact-checkers ” – which , in truth , are neither independent nor fact-based – to create oppositional content on CHD ’ s page , literally superimposed over CHD ’ s original content , about open matters of scientific controversy .
To further silence CHD ’ s dissent against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pharmaceutical products , Facebook deactivated CHD ’ s donate button , and uses a variety of deceptive technology ( i.e .
shadow banning ) to minimize the reach and visibility of CHD ’ s content .
In short , Facebook and the government colluded to silence CHD and its followers .
Such tactics are fundamentally at odds with the First Amendment , which guarantees the American public the benefits to democracy from free flow of information in the marketplace of ideas .
It forbids the government from censoring private speech—particularly speech that criticizes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Holmes famously said , “ the best test of truth is the power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the market.

” This case exposes Zuckerberg for working with the government to suppress and purge unwanted critiques of government officials and policies .
The court will decide whether Facebook @ @ @ @ @ @ @ false and misleading “ warning labels , ” deceptive “ fact-checks , ” and disabling a non-profit ’ s donate button , passes muster under the First and Fifth Amendments , the Lanham Act , and RICO .

With news of vaccines reaching their final stages and our government signing a deal to buy 25 million doses of a potential COVID-19 vaccine from AstraZeneca, many of us are thinking with relief that it is all over. Unfortunately, it is not even close to halfway.
To achieve “herd immunity” and completely eradicate the transmission of COVID-19, Australia would need about 80 to 95 per cent of its population vaccinated, which in reality may take up until late next year. And a key element to achieving this is to convince everyone to get vaccinated – even those people who are the curse of the scientific community, anti-vaxxers. That means 20 million Australians is the vaccination target. Since January, Australia has conducted 5,380,613 COVID-19 tests. To achieve our target, we would need to double that number, twice, in half the amount of time. It will be a landmark test of our country, and it will be a chapter in our history textbooks.
Once a vaccine is approved for general use, it will take a minimum of three to six months for it to be made available to the entire population of Australia. During this time, it could be difficult for authorities to determine who is an anti-vaxxer versus somebody who is yet to be offered the vaccine.
The government should consider updating the current “yellow fever vaccination passport” issued to Australians who receive vaccinations before visiting high risk countries. These could easily be turned into electronic vaccine cards and offered to each Australian.
At least 2 to 5 per cent of the Australian population cannot be vaccinated due to health reasons, especially those with serious allergies. It’s important to protect those who can’t be vaccinated by having everyone around them vaccinated – so it cannot spread.

EU bureaucrats , along with Washington ’ s change agent in the region , the notorious German Marshall Fund , are attempting to push the situation in Belarus deeper into the familiar ‘ Color Revolution ’ impasse , towards street violence and evenual ‘ regime change , ’ with the ultimate aim of installing a pro-US and pro-EU leader .
Following its recent Presidential elections , western leaders have called on Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko to step down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who lost the recent election , Svetlana Tsikhanovskaya , claiming that the election was ‘ unfair ’ and that Belarussian authorities must ‘ stop the repression against the Belarus people ’ and ‘ open a dialogue with civil society.
’ his follows the familiar “ humanitarian intervention ” template which the US has laid out for targeted countries like Libya , Syria and Venezuela .
While this western-driven campaign to remove what Washington believes is a “ pro-Russian ” leader in Lukashenko , the reality of the subterfuge is much deeper and more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
No , this is much more than your typical western-backed color revolution .
Upon closer examination of Tsikhanovskaya ’ s own manifesto , it ’ s clear that this latest regime change effort is not merely to pull Belarus away from close and friendly relations with its neighbor Russian – but rather it ’ s about forcing the country towards binding partnerships with both NATO and the EU .
In her manifesto , Tsikhanovskaya also calls for the complete dismantling of the Belarusian government , its military , and economic structures – @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its new western political , financial and corporate partners .
In terms of antagonizing Russia , Washington and Brussels are now playing one of their boldest hands yet .
Before being taken down , the election campaign website of Belarus Presidential candidate Svetlana Tsikhanovskaya had an entire program for the future development of Belarus as a country .
In a relatively hidden section , it has a section named “ National Policy ” which reveals the opposition ’ s plan for Belarus eventual entry into NATO and the EU .
The website has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it can still be found on web archive .
“ I am a presidential candidate Svetlana Tsikhanovskaya and this is my letter to all citizens of Belarus .
I am 37 years old .
She was born in Polesie .

A year ago , my husband Sergei Tikhanovsky created his own project “ Country for Life ” and went to Belarus .
Sergey gave people the opportunity to speak up .
They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they feel , what they think about Belarus .
People talked about their difficult life and dreamed of living in a free and rich country .
I was amazed at how scared the authorities were .
People began to be threatened , fired from their jobs , and thrown into prisons .
It turned out that the opportunity to speak out can wake up society .
When Sergei was deprived of the opportunity to participate in the elections , having unjustly accused and arrested him , I decided to replace him and go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my husband , for all of us , for our children .
As a wife , as a mother , I understand that in a family one for all and all for one .
I want it to be the same in our country.
” That ’ s how it begins , then moves on to what she would like for Belarus to become in the future .

I want us to feel love and respect for ourselves , have the right to choose and be proud @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I want Belarus to be respected in the world , so that we look for friends , not enemies .
I want to see the vile tradition of persecuting people for the truth become a thing of the past.
” Then she looks into the National Policy which was constructed with the assistance of Victor Babariko and Valery Tsepkalo , as well as “ the best experts , parties and public organizations.
” Babariko and Tsepkalo had a website , which contained the National Policy , but it appears to be gone now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Web Archive .
Tsikhanovskaya linked the website in her campaign website – essentially the National Policy wasn ’ t even part of her own campaign , but a link to an outside , third party website , as it was likely made by individuals outside of her campaign party .

Tsikhanovskaya is already forming her own western-backed ‘government in exile’ which will eventually be recognized by Washington and its allies as the “legitimate leader and government” of Belarus. This follows the familiar ‘humanitarian intervention’ template which the US has laid out for targeted countries like Libya, Syria, Ukraine, and most recently for Venezuela.

While this western-driven campaign to remove what Washington believes is a “pro-Russian” leader in Lukashenko, the reality of the subterfuge is much deeper and more profound in terms of its geopolitical significance. No, this is much more than your typical western-backed color revolution. Upon closer examination of Tsikhanovskaya’s own manifesto, it’s clear that this latest regime change effort is not merely to pull Belarus away from close and friendly relations with its neighbor Russian – but rather it’s about forcing the country towards binding partnerships with both NATO and the EU.
In her new coalition’s policy manifesto drafted together with two other former candidates assistance of Victor Babariko and Valery Tsepkalo, Tsikhanovskaya is effectively calling for the complete dismantling of the Belarusian government, its military, and economic structures – in order to realign the country with its new western political, financial and corporate partners.
In terms of antagonizing Russia, Washington and Brussels are now playing one of their boldest hands yet.
South Front reports…
Before being taken down, the election campaign website of Belarus Presidential candidate Svetlana Tsikhanovskaya had an entire program for the future development of Belarus as a country.
In a relatively hidden section, it has a section named “National Policy” which reveals the opposition’s plan for Belarus eventual entry into NATO and the EU.
The website has since been taken down; however, it can still be found on web archive.
“I am a presidential candidate Svetlana Tsikhanovskaya and this is my letter to all citizens of Belarus.
I am 37 years old. She was born in Polesie. Graduated from the philological faculty of the Mozyr Pedagogical University. I am fluent in Belarusian, Russian and English.

I want to see the vile tradition of persecuting people for the truth become a thing of the past.”
Then she looks into the National Policy which was constructed with the assistance of Victor Babariko and Valery Tsepkalo, as well as “the best experts, parties and public organizations.”
Babariko and Tsepkalo had a website, which contained the National Policy, but it appears to be gone now – reformby.com, it is available on Web Archive. Tsikhanovskaya linked the website in her campaign website – essentially the National Policy wasn’t even part of her own campaign, but a link to an outside, third party website, as it was likely made by individuals outside of her campaign party.
The main directions of reforming the existing state policy are: withdrawal from integration associations with the participation of Russia; preservation and development of the national cultural heritage, the Belarusian language; sustainable economic growth; high level and quality of life of citizens; democratic system of government.
Below are the issues that the improved national security needs to deal with:
Aggressive foreign policy of the Kremlin.
To implement its revisionist, imperial plans, the Kremlin is actively using:
economic and energy blackmail,
information pressure,
spreading fake news and misinformation,
toxic effects on the elite and society,
falsification of history in order to manipulate the public consciousness,
artificial provocation and incitement of internal conflicts.
The Russian leadership is using the concept of “Russian peace” to strengthen Moscow’s control over Belarus. The basis for this is often the Russian language and the Russian Orthodox Church.
The Kremlin is actively using soft power methods: NGOs, thought factories, the media, bloggers, social networks, exchanges and internships in Russia.
Lack of democracy, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and other basic freedoms.
Independent media is under severe pressure. Civil society and the political opposition face severe restrictions on their activities and persecution. There have been no free and fair elections in the country for more than two decades.
Low level of national consciousness and dominance of the Russian language.
The complete inability of state ideologues and state media to compete with the propaganda of the Russian media: Russian television and radio actually dominate the information field of Belarus.
The problematic state of the Belarusian economy.
The Belarusian economy is facing significant depreciation of fixed assets and technological backwardness not only from world leaders but also from its neighbors – the EU.
Membership of Belarus in integration supranational entities, dominated by Russia – the Union State, the CSTO, the EurAsEC, the CIS.
As part of the CSTO, Belarusians are threatened with involvement in armed conflicts in Central Asia and around the world. Through participation in the CSTO, there is a threat of the use of Asian or Russian troops in our territory. Belonging to the CSTO also hinders the modernization of the army.
Changing priorities and emphases in the foreign policy of the European Union.
The EU is facing unprecedented migration challenges and the consequences of Brexit. Many EU countries are looking for compromises with the Kremlin.
The United States is not a real guarantor of Belarus ‘independence, despite progress in bilateral relations and Washington’s firm commitment to Belarus’ independence and sovereignty.
Following are the main goals and objectives of the reform:
The main goal of reforming the national security sector is the immediate mobilization and consolidation of society in order to protect independence and sovereignty.
Tasks:
strengthening national identity, increasing patriotism and national dignity;
unification of society on the basis of democratic values and the idea of building an independent Belarus;
reduction of the Kremlin’s influence on Belarus through informational, economic, integration and humanitarian factors;
withdrawal from post-Soviet integration associations dominated by Russia;
integration into Western political, economic and military structures (EU, NATO).
This will all be implemented with the following steps:
In the political sphere:
withdrawal from the “Union State”, the Eurasian Union, the Customs Union and other integration entities dominated by Russia;
banning pro-Russian organizations whose activities run counter to national interests, as well as Russian foundations and organizations that fund such structures;
criminalization of public statements challenging the existence of a separate Belarusian nation and / or its historical right to its own state. Introduction of criminal liability for public insults to the Belarusian language;
monitoring by civil society forces of pro-Kremlin initiatives in Belarus;
border and customs control on the border with Russia.
Prohibition on sale of Belarusian infrastructure facilities to Russian companies. In the information sphere:
liberation of independent media from state pressure and control, ensuring media freedom and freedom of speech in Belarus;
ban on broadcasting journalistic socio-political and news programs created by Russian TV channels in Belarus;
inclusion in the standard TV package of mandatory public TV channels of Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine;
resumption of permanent activities of the Public Coordinating Council in the field of mass media.
In the military sphere:
withdrawal from the CSTO, return of full control of Belarus over its own air and missile defense systems;
withdrawal from the territory of Belarus of Russian military facilities – a communication center in Vileyka and a radar station near Baranovichi;
expansion of patriotic education in the Belarusian army;
translation of educational work in the army into Belarusian;
development of border infrastructure at the borders with EU countries, increasing the capacity of border crossings.
In the environmental sphere:
ban on commissioning and closure of new harmful industries in Brest, Mogilev, Svetlogorsk;
publication of comprehensive truthful information on the construction, safety and operation of the Astravets NPP;
holding a broad public discussion on the fate of the Astravets NPP.
In the social sphere:
raising wages and improving the working conditions of health and education workers.
In the cultural sphere:
popularization of national heroes with a bias in the XIX and XX centuries; popularization of Kastus Kalinouski as a political founder of the modern Belarusian nation, as a symbol of the struggle of Belarusians for freedom and independence and as a figure that should consolidate around all those committed to the values of national revival and independence.
These steps generally need to be fulfilled by 2025 and 2030 respectively, when the plan is for Belarus to finally enter NATO and the EU.
The plan by 2030 also includes strengthening cooperation and formation of strategic partnership within the Baltic-Black Sea community, formation and organizational design of the relevant regional intergovernmental bloc.
Additionally, diversifying energy supplies by 2030 is also important: a limit on the share of suppliers in any of the countries to a maximum of 30% of total energy imports. This is specifically aimed against Russia, but is obviously not achievable in the very-short term, that is why it is not mentioned in the immediate steps to be taken.
Naturally, Tsikhanovskaya would also need outside help, and she issued an appeal to the European Council for assistance.
Summing up the plans and actions of the Belarusian ‘opposition’, it becomes evident that its main goal is to seize power with the support of Western backers by any means and then just turn Belarus into Ukraine 2.0. The Belarus sovereignty, economy and interests of Belarusian citizens will be sacrificed for the interests of a small group of Western-funded ‘activists’ and ‘politicians’ and the country will be sold off to Euro-Atlantic structures.

Following its reactionary move to lockdown the territory of Victoria based on what can only be described as a nomimal number of COVID cases and deaths , it seems that the country of Australia has now become ground zero for expediting the New Normal agenda .

ABC Australia reports…
Australians who reject coronavirus vaccination could lose access to some welfare payments, Health Minister Greg Hunt has said, after the Prime Minister conceded vaccination would not be mandatory.
While the prospect of a coronavirus vaccine is not yet certain, the Government has taken steps to secure supply of a leading candidate developed at Oxford University.
Health Minister Greg Hunt said if a vaccine was discovered, the Government would consider applying measures like “no jab, no pay” to ensure a high uptake.
“It won’t be mandatory, but it will be widely encouraged,” he said.
The government will aim for a 95 per cent vaccination rate, which it said would exclude those who cannot take the shot on medical grounds.
“We are keeping on the table the existing mechanisms we have such as no jab, no pay [and] no jab, no play,” he said.
“We are one of the world’s great vaccination nations and I expect very widespread uptake.”
Mr Hunt said the existing no jab, no pay policy, which was introduced in 2015, had helped lift child immunisation rates for other diseases.
Under the policy, to be eligible for the full Family Tax Benefit A payment and the Child Care Subsidy, children need to be immunised.
Asked whether vaccination status could be linked to welfare payments, school attendance or travel, Mr Hunt said the Government reserved the right to make such moves.
“I’m confident that a very, very large numbers of Australians will take it up,” he said.
“We reserve the right, subject to medical advice, to take steps that might assist.”
Similarly, state governments in NSW, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and West Australia have no jab, no play laws, which require children to be fully vaccinated to be enrolled in childcare or kindergarten — unless they have a medical exemption.
The Federal Government yesterday announced that it had signed a letter of intent with drug company AstraZeneca, which is working with Oxford University on one of the world’s most promising vaccines.
The agreement puts Australia on track to locally manufacture doses of the vaccine, if trials in the UK are successful.
A formal agreement with AstraZeneca is expected within days, once a local manufacturer had been finalised…
