Canada Goes Warmonger

Stephen Harper, Canada's PM is another cookie cutter corporatist who will go to war for Iranian oil using trumped up Weapons of Mass Destruction lies like Bush did in Iraq. The Cookie cutter corporatists include Harper, Australia's Julia Gillard, UK's David Cameron and France's Francois Hollande and of course unghinged Hillary and her buddy nutty Netenyahu. 

Their agenda is globalist. It comes from places like the Council on Foreign Relations, The Brookings Institute, The Trilateral Commission and pseudo 'bombing for peace' groups like The International Crisis Group. Be on guard for their lies in the coming weeks.

I reject their greedy and corporate global agenda. 

It's against humanity and is for elites. 

Wise up.

Hillary For President - No Not That One, This One

Hillary Mann Leverett talks optimistically about the new U.N. peace broker in Syria Lakhdar Brahimi. If our corporate media weren't so reliant on war machine sales this woman would be on the TV screen 24/7. She's great.

Iran - Contra - The Ground Zero Of America Corruption

Robert Parry is the journalist who broke the Iran Contra scandal. The corporate media prefer to lionize Naval Intelligence insider Bob Woodward over the far more trivial Watergate because the last thing the elites need is people taking a closer look at the ground zero of American corruption Guns for drugs for cash for more guns, more drugs and more cash and the cycle continued. If there's any chunk of history that has given me an A-Ha moment it's hanging around the Iran Contra evidence because it links to everything. Particularly the Bush crime dynasty.

You just can't go wrong researching it. The names you need to know pop up like mushrooms on meth.

Blood On The Tracks

I love the way crowds of activists ripped the railway track to pieces after the Pentagon ordered a train carrying arms to Nicaragua and El Salvador to run over S. Brian Willson. People like George Bush Sr and Oliver North and Ronald Reagan talked a good game about heroism but they got nothing on S. Brian Willson.

S. Brian Willson discusses how his life changed while he was serving in Vietnam. Initially in full support of U.S. intervention there, he had a life changin ephinany while on assignment to do "damage assessment."

Leaving behind his role in the U.S.A.F., Brian went on to devote his life to activism which led him to many nations. Among his experiences, he witnessed the site of Ameryya bomb shelter and, on another trip, he was imprisoned in Ramallah by the IDF.

Brian was run over by a U.S. munitions train and lost his legs while attempting to non-violently protest the shipment of weapons to be used against the people of Nicaragua and El Salvador in the late 1980s.

Bill Clinton - His Iran Contra Firewall

A good little documentary general refresher on Bill Clinton's crimes while Governor of Arkansas. Update: Original video censored.

At 24.45 we learn how Bill's media advisor Larry Nichols was fired by Bill Clinton for Nicaraguan Contra fundraising. We know from testimony that Bill Clinton used Mena Airport in Arkansas to ship cocaine in for the Bush run CIA outfit involved in the Iran Contra scandal. Here we learn that even though he has a like minded crook on his team Bill Clinton was shrewd enough to keep him well away from the larger crime activity connected to the smaller crime activity.

Presidential Conspiracy Filmed On Camera In Court

I keep going on how Nixon is a smokescreen for the real Presidential criminal (Bob Woodward was Naval Intelligence and never busted another story after Nixon). The controlled media hardly ever focus on Iran Contra but Iran Contra is a festering gangrenous leg ulcer compared to a Nixonian teen pimple. It's that fucking basic folks. Anyhow don't take my word for it because you can watch Ollie North telling us straight that he dealt in guns for cash for drugs for more guns for more cash and you get the picture right?  There's loads of very telling moments in this. Just following orders sir. Just following orders.

But what you have to do your homework on to appreciate is that he's admitting to the stuff he can get away with. The real crimes were interrogated by the Iran-Contra hearings sub rosa and experience tells me that if I give it to you straight you wont be able to process it, so do the work and figure out how the world really spins if reality interests you. I'm helping you by pointing you to the meat the corporate media are silent over while jumping up and down at the latest narrative to distract the people.

To be fair it's Bush who was the mastermind. Reagan was an actor. Chosen for the role.

Will The United States Ignore Hans Blix On Nukes Again?

If I was American and undecided about Iranian nuclear weapons and waging war on them this interview is a highly intelligent and sympathetic to the United States world view of the matter. Hans Blix is a diplomat of the highest quality. I'm much more aggressive when addressing the US and this is softer, kinder and ultimately more effective analysis. It's the latest thinking on the matter at an international diplomatic level. Essential listening for those who don't follow these important matters.

MEK Terrorists Being Trained On US Soil

Iranian terror group MEK are lobbying US politicians with tens of thousands of dollars and persuading Americans with Israeli funded advertising to take MEK off the terrorist list as they are against the current Iranian leadership. This is a really bad, short term thinking idea.

Have Iran, US & Israel Ever Been Allies

It's true that in the mid eighties (and according to Michael Ruppert from the mid 70's) the US was selling arms to Iran through Israel in the Iran Contra scandal so the answer is yes but from time to time I come across information that says the Iranian theocracy is Western intelligence assets because they keep the facade going. I'm going to tag this under conspiracy theory because unlike straight forward conspiracy/corruption I just don't know what level the game is here. It's worth watching and there's even an appearance from an ONI intelligence officer called Jonathan Pollard who is in solitary after giving information to Israel. What caught my eye is that even Netenyahu can't spring him from prison which tells me he's not as powerful as we all think.

As ever, thoughts and feedback on this one appreciated.

U.S. Training of MEK Terrorists At Site 12 In Nevada Desert

The Mujahideen e-Khalq (MEK) are the terrorists murdering Iranian scientists. How do you feel about that? Is it more important than the VP pick obsessing the United States of Triviality?

Journalist Seymour Hersh has revealed that the Bush administration secretly trained an Iranian opposition group on the State Department's list of foreign terrorists. Hersh reports the U.S. Joint Special Operations Command trained operatives from Mujahideen-e-Khalq, or MEK, at a secret site in Nevada beginning in 2005. According to Hersh, MEK members were trained in intercepting communications, cryptography, weaponry and small unit tactics at the Nevada site up until President Obama took office. The MEK has been listed as a foreign terrorist groups since 1997 and is linked to a number of attacks, spanning from the murders of six U.S. citizens in the 1970s to the recent wave of assassinations targeting Iranian nuclear scientists. Hersh also discusses the role of Israeli intelligence and notes the Obama administration knew about the training, "because they have access to what was going on in the previous administration in this area, in terms of the MEK, in terms of operations inside Iran." His new report for The New Yorker blog, "Our Men in Iran?," comes as nuclear talks are set to resume this week between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Why Is The United States Funding & Training MEK Terrorists To Destabilize Iran?

This is a rip roaring heated discussion between three people about the MEK or Mujahedin-e Khalq. Glen Greenwald and the former State Dept guy make the guy from the Washington Institute look like the terror revisionist he is but in the end I say the easiest way to know if they're good or not is to see who supports MEK: Tom Ridge, Rudy Giuliani and John Bolton. These are the most venal money grubbing political snakes in the United States. It's not hard.

Since its creation in 1997 the US list of terrorist organisations has included the Iranian group, Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK).

"It is a criminal offence, a felony to have any transactions with this group, let alone to provide material support… if you coordinate advocacy on behalf of that group. There are lots of Muslims sitting in prison…for doing far less..." - Glenn Greenwald, a journalist and former civil rights lawyer

The group's supporters say they are Iran's democratic opposition, working for a nuclear-free Iran. But critics argue they have a violent history that dates back to the overthrow of Shah Reza Pahlavi.

Most members of the group now live in an Iraqi refugee camp.

Unlike other designated terrorist organisations, the MEK enjoys the support of many high-profile US officials, including Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor; John Bolton, the former US envoy to the UN; James Woolsey, the former CIA director; and Tom Ridge, the former secretary of Homeland Security.

They have travelled around the US and the world, giving speeches advocating the MEK's removal from the US terrorist list.

Below are excerpts from some of the speeches:

Tom Ridge: "They do not belong on the list. They're not a terrorist organisation. Take them off the list".

John Bolton: "I don't think that organisations should be put on that list for political purposes as the MEK was in 1997. I don't think organisations should be kept on that list as the MEK was in 2008 for political purposes. I think the facts should be allowed to fall where they may."

Rudy Giuliani: "We will stand up for them, we are with them as if we are in that camp with them today. Whatever they do to them, they do to us."

"The treasury should get to the bottom of finding out where the money is coming from. If this is being done in coordination with the MEK, a crime has been committed then somebody ought to be convicted...but I don't know if that's the case [here]." - Patrick Clawson, Iran analyst at the Washington Institute

Now the US Treasury Department has launched an inquiry into whether these officials are being paid by the MEK to speak, which would be a violation of US laws.

So why are so many high-ranking US politicians and former officials openly backing the MEK despite their designation as a terrorist group?

Is it even legal? And why has it taken so long for the US government to ask the same question?

Joining Inside Story Americas with Lisa Fletcher to discuss this are: Glenn Greenwald, a journalist and former civil rights lawyer; Reza Marashi, the research director at the National Iranian American Council; and Patrick Clawson, the research director and Iran analyst at the Washington Institute.

"When the MEK was put on the terrorist list in 1997 by Martin Indyk he said in his book 'we decided to put the MEK as a designated terrorist organisation not because they were pro- or anti-American but because they were [one] without a shadow of a doubt...'" Reza Marashi, research director at the National Iranian American Council

Who is MEK?

• Founded in 1965 by Islamic-Marxist students, the group helped to overthrow the Iranian government in 1979, prompting a clampdown following the revolution.
• Many members are refugees in both Iraq and France.
• Saddam Hussein, the former Iraqi leader, used them for attacks against Iran and the Kurds.
• The US disarmed them following the 2003 invasion of Iraq, which the MEK agreed to in exchange for protection.
• The US turned over MEK refugees to the Iraqi government in 2011.
• The group's leaders continue to live and operate in France.

The Finest Drugs & Arms Dealer of the 20th Century [Part One]

It's quite tedious trawling through the trash videos of Youtube researching the Bush families drug and arms dealing (while in office too) but this latest is exceptional and corroborates a lot of the information that Russ Baker has separately concluded in Family of Secrets. 

I'd never heard of Emile de Antonio before but he's a heavyweight and in this TV series which I've forgotten the name of. I must name check the interviewers at some point for their incredible contribution to exposing the unreported story of the United States. It's clear that Iran Contra was not about the hostages but simply a sideline business that was being conducted long before the Iranians (conveniently) took the hostages through operations such as the Bush run Black Eagles.

When the history of the 20th century is rearranged to look loosely like how it actually happened, George Bush senior will be recognised for what he is. One of the finest criminal minds and the greatest deceivers we have ever known. I was coming to this conclusion when I watched his video denial testimony of the Iran Contra scandal below. There's no question of George Bush seniors criminal calibre. See for yourself. No one comes close.

Most Of Planet Meet For Peace Alternative To Hillary Clinton's Warmongering - Corporate Media Silent

30 nations including China, Indonesia and Russia are meeting in Tehran to find peaceful alternatives to the NATO warmongering and terrorist sponsoring in Syria. The Western corporate media is silent as ever because there's a lot of military industrial complex money riding on destabilizing Syria (like Libya was brought down) and the corporate for-profit media have no incentive in telling the full story.

It's important and valuable to the pluralist thinker in these twilight days of Western materialist fetishism to seek alternative and contrarrian points of view from places like Press TV, Tehran Times and Russia Today. 

Libya, Syria & Iran Are All Preplanned Pentagon Wars

It's important to point out that General Wesley Clark is just as much a self serving weasel as all Pentagon Generals now seeking political office. He nearly dragged us into an unnecessary world war three with Russia over Kosovo but for the purposes of this post we can exploit elite Pentagon division and listen to him confirm that the wars on Libya, Syria and Iran are preplanned and thus the Free Syrian Army or whatever bullshit the mainstream media are spewing is just that. Don't be a fool. Wise up and be in the know.

Bahrain - Home To The U.S. Fifth Fleet & Gulf Torture

Excellent discussion on the topic with some welcome strong opinions put forward by Hillary Mann Leverett. Some nine stone weakling called Michael Posner has made some noises back in Washington but let's face it, if the US meant business they'd have the most senior person in the Fifth fleet banging his fist on a Bahrain table. That's not going to happen because the 5th fleet is hungry for a lot of oil.

How Does The US Navy Get On With The Iranian Navy In The Straits Of Hormuz.

Admiral William J.Fallon, Former Commander of U.S. Central Command, speaking at the joint conference of AIC and ACMCU titled: The Changing Middle East, New Challenges, Players and US-Iran Relations. 

Fallon, discusses "The Changing Middle East and Implications for US-Iran Relations. He's kind of a straight up player who pushed back when the Bush administration wanted to start war with Iran but the bottom line is he doesn't understand that the US naval base in Bahrain is to do with US stability and not the region. He should also know the basics on Bahraini doctors and nurses being arrested and persecuted for treating injured protesters. He might choose to ignore those kind of issues but if I can learn up on his world he can learn up the world of the people where he parks his boats.

Interesting presentation though on naval etiquette and procedure. Far more grown up than Congress.

The Journalist Who Broke The Iran-Contra Scandal

Russia Today seem to be joining in my Iran-Contra obsession by interviewing the journalist who broke the story in 1984. His name is Robert Parry and as he points out, Ronald Reagan was chosen to give the Republicans their JFK heroic figure, irrespective of what he actually achieved which if we include Iran-Contra is as I've mentioned before, the ground zero of the decline of the United States of America. I see this time in the U.S.as the point of no return. An era when the economy became more important than telling the truth.

Al Qaeda Created by @CIA

Seymour Hersh of The New Yorker laid it all out nice and straight for us back in 2007. You just can't go wrong using Iran-Contra as a research term. It throws up gems like this all the time.

Ollie North - American Poster Boy

I'm half repulsed and half fascinated that Ollie North actually works on TV for FOX as if some sort of pseudo-hero which of course in American culture means you can drop the pseudo. I was a little less interested (and still fairly young) in these matters at the time they were headline news. Nicaragua's connection to Iran was also too difficult to figure out but these days I'm finding that the Iran-Contra scandal is both the epicentre and the ground zero of American decay. Like Ollie North it's disgusting and fascinating at the same time. The video explaining it above is very funny so don't be coy because there are so many threads from this business that I'll be referring to it many times.

5 1/2 Hours of U.S. International Drug & Arms Dealing Testimony

In 1986 the United States of America's government and military were privately falling over themselves to sell arms to Iran despite publicly portraying Iranians as terrorists. The profits from this very typical, concealed American business transaction were fed into Nicaraguan rebels/terrorists called the Contras because the US has never tolerated democratically elected socialism in any country it can usurp. However the profits from arms to Iran wasn't quite sufficient so the Nicaraguan rebels/terrorists also supplied Cocaine to in exchange for arms using the CIA. Publicly, Ronald Reagan looked gravely into the TV cameras and declared a war on drugs.

The entire business between the US, Iran and Nicaraguan Rebels/Terrorists was overseen by the Government, the CIA and the the Military but most importantly, because the average American  can't digest the scale of corruption in the U.S, it involved George Bush Sr. who ran the CIA and was later Vice President, and a young governor of Arkansas called William Clinton who protected a small airport in his state called Mena, be used to smuggle the drugs. In one incident two young men out hunting saw a drug drop and the local police killed them and put their bodies across a train track to be run over. They blamed it on the marijuana the boys had been smoking.


It takes a willful block headedness to refuse to accept that at a certain level in politics, they're all in it together. They know how to skirmish on trivial issues to keep the attention diverted from the profits they make. That's how divide and rule works. Anyone divided on political issues or party politics is a chump. Me too once upon a time but not any longer.
