Media’s propaganda war on Syria in full flow

Jonathan Cook, journalist

My
latest: Since Seymour Hersh's Syria investigation was published last
Sunday, US officials and the supposedly free western media have gone
into crisis mode. They have run stories
to discredit his findings, even as they have all failed to mention his
investigation, let alone try to rebut his claims.

Nuclear Engineer Says Fukushima is “As Close to Hell as I Can Imagine,” Contamination Will Linger for Decades - Waking Times Media

Vicki Batts, Natural News
Waking Times Media

The devastation imparted by the Fukushima meltdown in 2011 is still
in effect, and it’s likely that the radiation from the nuclear power
plant will be in our environment for a very long time. Recent reports
have indicated that the level of radiation at the disaster site is still
unbelievably high, such that cleaning up the area is expected to take at least another forty years. Honestly, the word “disaster” hardly seems descriptive enough for the toll Fukushima has taken on the planet.

Former nuclear engineer Arnie Gundersen doesn’t beat around the bush
when discussing the enormous catastrophe that is the Fukushima nuclear
accident. In a late February interview with the BBC, Gundersen explained
how things could potentially get worse as workers try to get closer to
the nuclear reactors. (RELATED: Keep up with the latest news on

Chemtrail Source Material Finally Unveiled - Waking Times

Catherine J. Frompovich, Guest
Waking Times

For the last two decades the source material for
chemtrails has been a mystery. Finally, the apparent ‘perfect’ element
base material of chemtrails sprayed from airplanes—both government and
commercial—that causes blanket clouds and welsbach reflective materials
in the atmosphere, has been identified. It’s coal fly ash wastes from coal burning power plants!

In the almost 13 minute video posted below, the basic scientific
analysis of coal ash identifies fly ash, which is high in aluminum
oxide—about 30%. From the 9 minute mark on the timeline, important
information should be noted.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=F6r0GqbH9Os#t=7

Apparently, coal ash—both types—is difficult and extremely expensive
to dispose of, something like a billion dollar problem per plant,
according to the video. However, fly ash easily is transported away from
power plants by railcars—the very mode of transportation that brings
the coal to the power plant to be burned. Trucks and barges also are
used in transporting it to bases for spraying.

Facebook’s Secret Censorship Rules Protect White Men from Hate Speech But Not Black Children - ProPublica

TomDispatch

A ProPublica investigation looks at how Facebook's censorship rules favor white people, elites, and governments.
Erika

"In the wake of a terrorist attack in London
earlier this month, a U.S. congressman wrote a Facebook post in which
he called for the slaughter of 'radicalized' Muslims. 'Hunt them,
identify them, and kill them,' declared U.S. Rep. Clay Higgins, a
Louisiana Republican. 'Kill them all. For the sake of all that is good
and righteous. Kill them all.'

"Higgins’ plea for violent revenge went untouched by Facebook workers who scour the social network deleting offensive speech.

"But a May posting on Facebook by Boston poet and Black Lives Matter activist Didi Delgado drew a different response.

“'All white people are racist. Start from this reference point, or
you’ve already failed,' Delgado wrote. The post was removed and her
Facebook account was disabled for seven days.

"A trove of
internal documents reviewed by ProPublica sheds new light on the secret
guidelines that Facebook’s censors use to distinguish between hate
speech and legitimate political expression. The documents reveal the
rationale behind seemingly inconsistent decisions. For instance,
Higgins’ incitement to violence passed muster because it targeted a
specific sub-group of Muslims — those that are 'radicalized' — while
Delgado’s post was deleted for attacking whites in general.

"Over
the past decade, the company has developed hundreds of rules, drawing
elaborate distinctions between what should and shouldn’t be allowed, in
an effort to make the site a safe place for its nearly 2 billion users.
The issue of how Facebook monitors this content has become increasingly
prominent in recent months, with the rise of 'fake news' — fabricated
stories that circulated on Facebook like 'Pope Francis Shocks the World,
Endorses Donald Trump For President, Releases Statement' — and growing
concern that terrorists are using social media for recruitment.

"While Facebook was credited during the 2010-2011 “Arab Spring” with
facilitating uprisings against authoritarian regimes, the documents
suggest that, at least in some instances, the company’s hate-speech
rules tend to favor elites and governments over grassroots activists and
racial minorities. In so doing, they serve the business interests of
the global company, which relies on national governments not to block
its service to their citizens."

Trump’s chaos is covering for stealth escalation overseas - The Washington Post

TomDispatch

At
the Washington Post, the Nation's Katrina van den Heuvel has a superb
op-ed on the stealth wars of the Trump era, rolling out in distant lands
while we're barely looking. (Below are
the first paragraphs and the last one.) And she brings up a name I
haven't heard in quite a while: Senator J. William Fulbright, who
actually took on a Democratic president in major hearings over the
Vietnam War and wrote a book whose very title says it all (a book no one
in Washington could write today): "The Arrogance of Power." When it
comes to our wars, there's not a Fulbright in sight in Washington
anymore... Tom

"While
Washington is fixated on President Trump’s tweets, antics, lies and
Russiagate, the administration is ramping up a stealth escalation of our
military involvement across the Middle East. As Naomi Klein warns,
Trump’s “rolling shock of the chaos and spectacle” distracts from
radical actions both at home and abroad. Across the Middle East, the
administration drives the United States ever further into wars without
end, increasing the dangers of direct military confrontation with Russia
and Iran, with little awareness and no mandate from the American
people. This is a recipe for calamity.

"The deepening military
involvement has accelerated in recent weeks. The administration will
dispatch 4,000 more troops to Afghanistan, plus 400 to Syria. The
president fired 23 cruise missiles at a Syrian air base in retaliation
for alleged Syrian use of chemical weapons against civilians. In recent
weeks, U.S. forces have bombed Iranian-supported militia forces moving
forward in southern Syria and shot down a Syrian jet flying over Syrian
airspace. Russia has cut off coordination designed to avoid air
collisions and announced that U.S. planes flying west of the Euphrates
would be targeted. As the battle against the Islamic State reaches its
final stage, the Pentagon seems intent on sustaining a presence in
Syria, aimed at preventing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from
regaining control of the country.

"In Yemen, the United States is
escalating its direct and indirect support for the Saudi air assault
that is leveling that impoverished country. As fighting intensifies,
civilian casualties and refugees are rising, more and more are driven
from their homes, and hunger and deadly diseases such as cholera are
spreading as health systems break under the strain. Seventeen million
Yemenis suffer from lack of food, while a cholera epidemic infects
another child every 35 seconds.

"The escalation directly
contradicts Trump’s stances during the election campaign. Back then, he
indicated his skepticism of regime change, claiming — falsely — that he
had opposed the Iraq invasion and denouncing the intervention in Libya.
He indicated that he saw no reason to take sides in the Syrian civil
war, suggesting that perhaps the United States could join with Syria and
its ally Russia to take out the Islamic State. He promised he would
“bomb the s--- out of ISIS” but would not get bogged down in the Middle
East. This stance appealed strongly to voters weary of war and looking
for a leader who would focus on our challenges here at home. That
promise has now clearly been trashed....

"But the reality is that
we are headed into more war without public support, without a sensible
strategy or a clear purpose. Americans are tired of wars without end.
The response is to fight wars on the quiet: substituting technology for
troops to lower our casualties. What is needed now is not a blank check
but public hearings that will expose the increasingly dangerous reality
to the American people. We don’t need a rubber-stamp Congress. We need
someone with a backbone to stand up as Sen. J. William Fulbright
(D-Ark.) did in 1966, convening hearings that exposed the folly in
Vietnam and explored ways to bring the conflict to an end. Where is the
Republican Fulbright of today who will question our current course
before it is too late?"

The Storm of Political Change Is Upon Us - There Is No Going Back - TruePublica

By Graham Vanbergen: The former Conservative Party chairman Grant Shapps said this
week that the prime minister lost her majority because her policy ideas
“simply didn’t stack up”. “We didn’t need to be here. I think it’s
extremely frustrating. I think we had an unnecessary election and the
world’s worst manifesto from the world’s oldest political party,” he
said. “If we fail to learn the right lessons from the election then we
will find that we never win elections again.” Shapps also rejected the
suggestion the Tories lost their majority because voters had turned
against austerity. How wrong Shapps is on that one!

Grant Shapps is a typical right-wing politician of today’s Britain. A
few years ago Shapps was discovered to have had a second job as a
“multimillion-dollar web marketer” under the pseudonym Michael Green for
at least year after he first became an MP. In a Guardian article
his company “was dissolved after it marketed “scraping” software
TrafficPaymaster – the sale of which, the police said, may have been an
“offence of fraud”.

Karl Turner, Labour’s shadow solicitor general, said at the time:
“It beggars belief that the chairman of the Conservative party went on
live radio and stated three times that he was not doing business as
Michael Green while he was an MP, when new reports and audio show quite
clearly that he did.”

And this was the best the Tories could dig up as party chairman!
Shapps is the embodiment of just about everything wrong in government in
Britain today.

RELEASE: CIA 'ELSA' implant to geolocate laptops+desktops by intercepting the surrounding WiFi signals wikileaks.org/vault7/#Elsa

Elsa

28 June, 2017

Today, June 28th 2017, WikiLeaks publishes documents from the ELSA project of the CIA. ELSA
is a geo-location malware for WiFi-enabled devices like laptops running
the Micorosoft Windows operating system. Once persistently installed on
a target machine using separate CIA exploits, the malware scans visible
WiFi access points and records the ESS identifier, MAC address and
signal strength at regular intervals. To perform the data collection the
target machine does not have to be online or connected to an access
point; it only needs to be running with an enabled WiFi device. If it is
connected to the internet, the malware automatically tries to use
public geo-location databases from Google or Microsoft to resolve the
position of the device and stores the longitude and latitude data along
with the timestamp. The collected access point/geo-location information
is stored in encrypted form on the device for later exfiltration. The
malware itself does not beacon this data to a CIA back-end; instead the
operator must actively retrieve the log file from the device - again
using separate CIA exploits and backdoors.

CIA can hack & track Windows devices via their wifi connections — RT Viral

WikiLeaks has released the latest Vault 7 batch of CIA hacking
exploits. ‘ELSA’ is malware used to track WiFi-enabled devices running
Microsoft Windows, allowing the CIA to gather location data on a
target’s device and monitor their patterns and habits.

**ELSA tracks the geolocation of wifi-enabled devices, providing the CIA with a target’s “pattern of life,” by recording details about wifi access points near the target machine.**

The
malware allows the CIA to track a target’s location even when they’re
not connected to the internet. All that’s needed is for the device to be
wifi-enabled and in an area where wifi access points are in range.
Using wifi for geolocation means GPS isn’t required.

ELSA was initially created in 2012, according to a 2013 user manual obtained by WikiLeaks. The manual is marked as ‘secret, noforn’ - meaning it’s not to be shared with other countries.

German parliament agrees to massive expansion of digital surveillance - TruePublica

By Sven Heymann – wsws.org: Last
week, by a large majority, the Bundestag (federal parliament) agreed to
a massive expansion of digital surveillance. The state will be given
the power to deploy “trojans,” computer code that can bypass a user’s
security and implement remote online searches of a person’s devices. The
decision effectively eliminates the possibility of secure digital
communications in Germany.

At the end of the state interior ministers conference last week,
federal Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière (CDU) had announced that
the government would create the legal basis for these powers during this
legislative period, and thus before the parliamentary summer break.

The Economic Fallacy of Austerity - Project for Democratic Union (PDU)

Austerity measures were in fact counterproductive to reaching the goal
of reducing government debt. European policies in the aftermath of the
"great recession" of 08/09 have been
actively harmful for the Greek economy. They have induced economic
effects directly opposing those intended by those policies. Instead of
reducing debt to GDP ratio to a healthy level, they have actually done
the opposite. The IMF is exactly right to demand debt relief before
contributing to more loans. To oppose this position is an economic
absurdity. To oppose it on grounds of pre-election political maneuvering
also is dishonest to voters. The European project will never succeed
without fiscal transfers from richer to poorer regions of the Union.

How Clueless is the West about What has Happened to Libya | New Eastern Outlook

Libya is now central to Manchester bombing that killed 22 people and

that Libya is in today and how it became such a mess. In one of my
previous articles published by NEO, I had pointed out the British
parliament’s foreign affairs committee’s report that acknowledged what a
drastic failure Libya was; how NATO intervention was based upon flawed
intelligence, and how it led to the mushrooming of jihadi groups in the
country, groups which are now directly attacking the West. Still, the
Western media continues to present a picture of Libya that says nothing
about the hegemonic pursuits of the West itself, which included control
over Libya’s oil and use the country as the base for facilitating
Western overreach in Africa.
