“Bobby, 10,000 Palestinian children DEAD. You silent. I worked for your uncle; you are no JFK”: my intervention at RFKJr Raleigh rally. As I was led out many of his supporters enthusiastically thanked me. He will be asked same question TODAY IN ATLANTA!
Sorry for the interruption in tweeting, but I had major open heart surgery on October 15th. It went quite well, and I am recovering at home. I expect to be back up and running in several weeks.
Rape is most effective poison arrow in quiver of Deep State & legacy media. Used against Assange, and now Hamas. No evidence? No problem! NYT major culprit; Friedman cites "the rape of Israeli women” in his latest. The deceit exposed/debunked at Grayzone:
NY Times' Hamas rape hoax exposed
@MaxBlumenthal
and
@aaronjmate
methodically debunk the Times' bogus report alleging Palestinian militants systematically raped Israelis on October 7, and respond to their own critics' sloppy attacks
Into the valley of death sailed the 10,000, aboard aircraft carriers Ford and Eisenhower – sitting ducks for swarming drones & other weaponry not dreamed of by those who made short work of the Charge of the Light Brigade. Perhaps Blinken/Nuland/Austin want that? Or are just dumb?
Bobby Jr. wants Secret Service to protect him. What about protection for Palestinian civilians suffering undisguised genocide in Gaza. Your dad & uncle would be blocking NY Penn Station. I know; I worked for them. You fall short on Justice for ALL. Repent!
On June 8, 1967 Israel learned it could get away with murder - literally. Tried to sink USS Liberty; killed 34, wounded 174. Shame on US Navy for helping LBJ cover it up!
My colleague at the time, Mel Goodman, adds to the story:
On June 8, 1967 Israel learned it could get away with murder. ATTEMPT TO SINK USS LIBERTY LEFT 34 KILLED, 170+ WOUNDED. Adm. Thomas Moorer: “Cmdrs of carriers America & Saratoga were ordered not to rescue. It was the most disgraceful act I witnessed in my entire military career.”
SPEAKER JOHNSON: You refer in error to “the Biblical admonition to stand with Israel.” Genesis supersedes the mistaken notion of divinely authorized violence. The blood of Abel in Gaza cries out to God. We are called to be our brother's keeper, not killer.
Do we now have ISRAELI FALSE FLAG ATTACK killing US troops? It’s “Iran-backed” MSM says. Biden: we already “know” that; “while we are still gathering the facts.” Neocons/Israel lust to get US atk on Iran. CENTCOM lied threw its teeth under then Gen. Austin
Memo to Biden/Blinken/Sullivan/Nuland/Austin: Have you left no sense of decency, at long last no shame? Enabling Israeli genocide in Gaza is bad enough. Denial is still worse. Need some names of dead Palestinians? Turn off MSNBC long enough to read this:
How could publisher Julian Assange possibly get a fair trial in a country (the US) that has trashed the 1st and 4th amendments in its rabid attack on him. US government is bent on using Julian to show what happens when you reveal government misconduct See:
Victoria Nuland is “running amok” on Ukraine, acc to Sy Hersh. As ‘counteroffensive’ fails, will she authorize attack on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant to blame it on Russia? Is that why Kyiv spy chief today accused Russia of “mining” cooling pond there?
Scott Ritter doesn’t brag; otherwise, more folks would know he took a very courageous step in 2003 to head off Iraq war & how the MSN opted for war. Small wonder the “State Dept” didn’t want him spreading truth around at an important conference in Russia
Self-proclaimed Zionist, Joe Biden, with no wits about him, is assuring the destruction of Zionist/Apartheid Israel. As corrupt US Intel leaders help unleash the dogs of war, we cannot be bystanders. “Indifference to evil is more insidious than evil itself”: Rabbi Abraham Heschel
When FDR died my father cried. So did I when JFK died. Bobby seemed not worth a tear after he gave his conscience to the Lobby. But he was good on other major issues, so I made one last try; wrote to new campaign mgr. Read my unanswered email to Amaryllis.
Tucker Carlson showed courageous journalism in interviewing President Putin. Those interested in Putin’s views now can know them and decide for themselves (Psst! Hopefully the media will not put Putin in "McGovern's pocket"). No wonder the crazies don’t want to let Tucker back
FALSE FLAG ALERT: strategic Ukrainian city, Chasiv Yar, in Donetsk is about to fall to Russians. How so? GAS ATTACKS “almost daily”, according to Ukrainian troops, reports the pitiable Guardian. Recall: “gas atks” have sordid history of use as false flag.
Caitlin Johnstone nails it for those willing to consider the reality that Moscow feels as threatened as JFK did in 1962 She puts cogent English to what I tried to show last April in a briefing I titled “If the Missile Fits, Beware”
Whoa! GET THIS! CIA’s broadsheet (aka NYTimes): “BREAKING: “Intelligence Suggests Pro-Ukrainian Group Sabotaged Pipelines U.S. Officials Say”
OK. Ludicrous. But is this new straw in the wind that "U.S. Officials" preparing to throw Zelensky under the bus?
Newly released documents show CIA head Haspel directly supervised waterboarding at “Black Site” in Thailand. Sen. Intelligence Committee Chair Burr and Vice Chair Warner hid that, demonstrating once again that today's Senate "oversight" means "overlook."
Who had DNC employee Seth Rich murdered, and why? We may soon find out. US Judge Amos Mazzant has ordered FBI to stop hiding Rich's laptops. If they are handed over intact we may learn who gave the DNC emails to WikiLeaks (Spoiler: it wasn’t the Russians.)
IT’S ON US: We are called to be "winter soldiers." If we cannot stop genocide, what good are we?
Rise, like lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you
Ye [we] are many - they are few
Percy Bysshe Shelley
RFK Jr telling fish stories (literally) in Raleigh: at min 15:55 I ask re 10,000 Palestinian children already killed in genocide. "Q&A later." I add "I worked for your uncle; you are no JFK”. His reaction suggests we need to keep speaking for the children.
Iran leaders too smart to take Netanyahu’s bait & do major reprisal for Jan 3 terrorist atk in Iran killing 100, wounding 200. Israel is hyper-eager to get US military involved in fighting. Look for an Israeli false flag atk on US troops blaming it on Iran
Gil Doctorow reports that Donetsk forces have defeated neo-Nazis in Mariupol who holding civilians hostage; have opened humanitarian corridors to east; are evacuating civilians in several hundred buses that were waiting outside city. Also brought in 450 tons of medicines and food
Crocodile tears flood The Swamp in Washington. Biden bypasses Congress again; first giving Israel tank shells, now fuses, charges. Blinken giving lip service to need to “minimize civilian casualties.” Shame on us if we do not stop this. Poet Shelley has it right; see my next ‘X’.
Worse than the BIG LIE about Iraqi WMD. The whopper Biden told – “Putin Won’t Stop at Ukraine” – disproven by Ukraine negotiators publicly admitting Putin DID STOP (in March 2022) in return for Kyiv agreeing not to join NATO, & that US/UK quickly nixed it.
Note to Amy
@democracynow
: There you go again, uncritically parroting NYT anti-Russian drivel re bombing hospitals in Syria & the White Helmets, no less! You took the NYT story hook, line & sinker. For once drop your line in RT waters; you'll catch this:
Scott Ritter doesn’t quit; that is precisely why he is so feared and harassed by those who start and escalate wars based on lies; first 20 min: The Real Scott Ritter. Then detailed comments on top issues – with NIMA (and, thankfully, enabled by Paxlovid).
Almost certain U.S. Intel knows how the Russian IL-76 carrying 65 Ukrainian POWs went down today. Will Blinken lie and blame Russia or "pro-Russian separatists", aping John Kerry on MH17 shoot-down in 2014? Kerry claimed then he had imagery and trajectory info, but his dog ate it
Scott Ritter: Trying to prevent war – this one worse than Iraq. Just as he was headed to Iraq shortly before US/UK attacked in 2003, on Monday he was pulled off a flight ultimately headed to Russia to spread some truth around. Scott drafted this VIPS Memo:
Venezuela could be Trump’s Bay of Pigs, with Bolton playing CIA's Alan Dulles and Pompeo John Foster Dulles. They and the US military brass tried to mousetrap JFK with deceitful assurances that there would be no need for US military action. Will Trump face them down, as JFK did?
I thought Iraqis “throwing babies out of incubators” was bad. Blinken tops it: “The Israeli father’s eye gouged out before his kids; the mother’s breast cut off, the girl’s foot amputated, boy’s fingers cut off before they were executed.” Whence the info?
Do today's bombings at Kabul airport have signs of a false flag attack? If prior intelligence was so accurate, why was attack not nipped in bud? Key question as always: CUI BONO -who profits from killing Americans at this point? Biden better ask it, before he gets sucked back in.
FALSE FLAG ALERT: Iran is now in crosshairs not only of Netanyahu but also former NYTimes scribe Judy Miller, who promoted the lie about Iraq having WMD. Will Mossad sacrifice John Bolton; blame Iran; and help provide another pretext to attack Iran?
Yesterday’s confession of lying by primary witness for the latest indictment against Julian Assange should free Julian. We are back to 2018 when senior NYT lawyer warned “the law would have a very hard time drawing a distinction between the NYT &WikiLeaks”
Note to Glenn Greenwald: Bravo for doing away with the trees, but you missed the forest. We in VIPS still can’t find “substantial” evidence of Russia “hacking the DNC & Podesta emails.” Mueller using discredited CrowdStrike for forensics. We did our own:
Netanyahu & Biden know if they lose the American people they can't continue the genocide. I urged a large, youthful rally in Raleigh to expose utter cynicism of a “humanitarian pause in genocide for Thanksgiving". Now 3 days to "SHUT IT DOWN". IMG_2903.mov
Brainwashed Bobby Jr, here's the truth: “Palestinians today live under apartheid rule occupied by a far-right state whose ruling coalition openly celebrates their killing and displacement” Ryan Grim/The Intercept. “There is no good Zionism” Miko Peled
Biden NOT IMMUNE to prosecution/prison here (or abroad for enabling genocide). The stakes are sky-high. Future ICC arrest warrants may include Biden & buddies. Powerful incentive to double down on Ukraine war AND on genocide to remain in White House. READ:
Tavis Smiley canceled me re. addressing JFK anniversary today. Yesterday evening he had offered me an hour from 9:00 AM Pacific. I made silly mistake of telling his producer what I was likely to say. CANCELED, he said this morning, too much breaking news. No offer to reschedule.
Is Israeli president waving a disingenuous ‘False Flag’? Does finding on dead Hamas fighter “instructions on how to produce chemical weapons” seem credible? Or might it harbinger future use by Israeli troops trying to flush out fighters from Gaza tunnels?
As Presidential Briefer, I was afraid the president might shoot the messenger on the spot, as he learned for the first time that North Korea had gotten such a highly sophisticated ICBM from Russia. Will he call Teflon-clad Jake Sullivan on the carpet?
“IF THE FACTS COME OUT, IT COULD SPELL THE END FOR JOE BIDEN” is what I wrote 4 yrs ago. Corporate and also FBI/CIA-infiltrated social media, plus former Intelligence gurus, suppressed those facts. Can they do it again? I on yesterday's "The Critical Hour"
... ALL HANDS ON DECK!
Mass On-Line Meeting tonight to protect Julian Assange:
The Deep State is closing in on Julian, and the captive Fourth Estate is mostly mum/mired in money. Please make your friends aware of this Fifth Estate event.
Shame on you, Biden, for the shame you bring on all Americans. Exceptions include former FBI legal counsel Coleen Rowley, who about to risk boarding the “Gaza Flotilla to Break Israel’s Siege”. Read about it, and Coleen's experience with other shyster lawyers atop the FBI
I will be on The Jimmy Dore Show this evening at 7 Eastern/4 Pacific. If any of you can forward to me something humorous to say on situation in and around Ukraine, please do.
CAN YOU BELEVE? 6 YRS AGO today, the cyber firm examining DNC emails testified there was NO TECHNICAL EVIDENCE OF RUSSIAN HACKING. Media has buried this testimony for 6 years. VIPS called hacking allegations ‘baseless’ 7 years ago.
No More Mr. Nice Guy: The Critical Hour gave me as much time as CNN gave ethnic cleanser con-man Netanyahu to quote him when he thought mic was off. Also cite example of AIPAC’s power to oust Jewish politician not considered sufficiently Zionist. See this:
Dept. of “Justice” got gun lobbyist Mariia Butina to cop plea for what Israeli lobbyists do every day. WashPost straining desperately to connect with Russia-gate: “'Russian agent' Mariia spoke with Don Jr.!" Wow! Will others descend to this level of drivel? Joe McCarthy is back.
Wow. What a way to end the first half of 2023! Please read the 49 comments beneath my June 30 interview with Robert Scheer, who not playing devil's advocate, but rather says he depending on the corporate media for his information – on Ukraine, for example.
The recent joint statement by Russia and China is an unambiguous sign that Putin and Xi have formed an enduring alliance, largely in reaction to what they see as US behavior threatening both countries. It’s the age-old “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” — on steroids.
Full ep:
"A voice is heard in Rama (today in Rafa), weeping and great mourning; Rachel weeping for her children; she cannot be comforted because the children are no more.” (Matthew 2:18 after the slaughter of the innocents)
The Freedom Flotilla ready to push off for Gaza, “the people of Gaza the wind in our sails; freedom for Palestine our North Star; food, medicine, solidarity, and love our gifts.” 'Fair winds and following seas!' to break the siege. Medea, on deck, reports.
62 years ago today, East Germany & Russia began building the BERLIN WALL. It crumbled amid great rejoicing on Nov. 9, 1989. USSR fell apart 2 yrs later. The hoped-for ‘Peace Dividend’ was stolen by US 'exceptionalism' and the avarice of the MICIMATT.
HO! HO! SLEEPY JOE, GENOCIDE HAS GOT TO GO! Remember: “Hey! Hey! LBJ, How Many Kids D'You Kill Today?” helped stop genocide in Vietnam? Can we do the same for children in Gaza & the West Bank, where I watched in awe the bravery of youth resisting occupiers
Taking nothing away from the brave men & women at Normandy 6/6/1944, including my Pastor Gordon Cosby w/the 101st glider force, Russia, with essential help from Lend-Lease, had already turned back German forces –Honest historical perspective a must today:
Blinken admits he has no idea why Russia would invade Ukraine; suggests asking Putin! On ‘Morning Joe’: Blinken is asked (min. 1:35) “What would be the upside for Putin by invading Ukraine”? Blinken has no answer: “That’s an excellent question: ask Putin."
Israel learned it could, literally, get away with murder – including deliberate killing 34 US sailors and wounding 174 more - on June 8, 1967. Intercepts show aircraft, torpedo boats ordered to sink the USS Liberty. LBJ covered it up. (Starts at min 51:00)
You’ve been had, Americans! The carnage in Ukraine, possible use of nuclear weapons are demonstrably OUR OWN FAULT. What do we do? Wean your friends off Establishment media; show them the documents. I made 9-min comment after Matt Hoh's talk on JFK July 10
Starving Gaza, as deliberate as The Great Hunger in Ireland, is Biden’s legacy. The US Boat to Gaza in 2011.
Recalling Israel’s bulldozing of 23 yr-old Rachel Corrie as she tried to prevent destruction of a Palestinian home in Rafa.
Why does Biden want Zelensky here tomorrow? Will Biden’s geniuses broach a deus-ex-machina plan to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Is a false-flag operation in the works? (The fat lady does not seem ready yet to sing.) Or will Zelensky finally be told, "Sorry, it's over".
Blinken 2015: “Any military support for Ukraine is likely to be matched and then doubled and tripled and quadrupled by Russia.” Obama: “Arming Ukraine would encourage them to think they could defeat far more powerful Russians” Was Biden asleep at the time?
Note to AmyGoodman_DN: DemocracyNow is excellent on Standing Rock & indignities at home. But parroting the NYTimes on Russia "invading" Ukraine - not so good. You did it again today. Pls try to find someone knowledgeable not wedded to DN's miserable record on Ukraine & R-gate.
Not all German officials are cowards. Three wise men – honest men – stand out, presenting FACTS on US responsibility for Ukraine carnage. FACTS, not opinions. If you honest/brave enough to risk having illusions dispelled, DON’T STAY STUCK IN THEM; pls read
About my friend Julian: his selflessness shown in one key example. The charges of “rape” that ensnared him now disproven. If UK Court dispatches him to American “Justice” we already have glimpse (last 5 min) of the kind of 'Treatment Plan’ readied for him.
“Can we be deceived to this extent?!” asks Robert Scheer, interrogating me on Ukraine. Yeah, says I, & spend hour weaning him off corporate media & its claims of Russian “military disaster”. For me, one of the most poignant interviews I have done recently.
Oddly, Biden’s charge that Putin “will not stop at Ukraine” finds no support in this year’s “Intel Threat Assessment”. Remind Biden that exactly 2 years ago Putin DID STOP as Ukr negotiators agreed to neutrality. They now admit West torpedoed the agreement
Learned a whole lot from Francis Boyle, Craig Murray, Alexander Mercouris, Joe Lauria re International Court of Justice ruling on Israel & genocide. Legalities, and possibilities at UN now clear – and SLOW. But when will ‘no one kill the children anymore’?
Amy Goodman is good on ICE fascists, but naive on CIA's John Brennan. Why dose her headline today parrot the frivolous lede in Washington Post? Fact that Brennan did all he could, legally & illegally to elect Mrs. Clinton should subject him to close scrutiny, not give him a pass.
Pandas do not usually hug bear visitors. Nevertheless, Xi and Putin have made it abundantly clear that the close relationship between China and Russia marks a tectonic shift in the blance of power. Escalation is in store if US doesn’t awake from its torpor.
Did Lloyd Austin warn Israel against a FALSE-FLAG ATTACK on US warships. In 1967, Israel deliberately attacked USS Liberty (34 KIA, 171 WIA) & learned it can get away with murder. Fmr JCS Chmn Mike Mullen is the only top official to warn Israel, Never Again! But that was in 2008.
Biden is now saying, acc to NYT: It just a matter of time before a US soldier in Iraq or Syria is killed. Times says that then a direct US attack on Iran likely. When 241 troops were killed at Marine barracks in Beirut in 1983, Reagan had sense to pull out
CIA director Burns has been promoted to cabinet for telling Biden Russia has already lost in Ukraine. Really! Judge Napolitano & I try to deal with this madness jocularly. Earlier I had hoped Burns would play an adult role
Forget it
US disguises real intent of Israel’s attack on hospitals; it's to clean out “human animals” (aka Palestinians) - ethnic cleansing. Different frm Holocaust in that concentration camp includes all of Gaza. If we silent, it will be on us, and on our children.
I was a player 56 years ago when Pres. Johnson found Pentagon/CIA had lied thru their teeth on Vietnam. He nixed plans for a wider war and decided not to run again. Since Biden can't grasp that he has been lied to on Ukraine, increased danger of wider war.
SecDef: “If Ukraine falls, I really believe that NATO will be in a fight with Russia." So Mike Johnson/GOP will be to blame. Newsweek dutifully adds, more arms could potentially avoid this. Otherwise, it’s war with Russia & mutual assured destruction. MAD.
Did Putin order Prigozhin killed or is Putin the adult in the room? (Memo to Establishment media “Putin did it: he’s a thug, remember?”) Doesn’t seem likely to Ritter, Johnson, me. At Friday Roundtable w/Judge Napolitano, we also talk Ukraine (29 minutes).
You're with the goats, Joe Biden (Matt 25). “For I was hungry and you did not feed me; thirsty, but you did not give me drink.” At your invocation we prayed you would “govern knowing the difference between right & wrong.” You blew it. AIPAC $ won’t buy you a spot with the sheep.
Russian Intel chief Naryshkin warned on March 19 that if Macron sends troops into Ukraine, they will be “priority target” for destruction. Putin, March 13: “Biden knows that US troops in Ukraine would be ‘invaders’.” Putin likely to conclude that Macron’s invaders have Biden's OK
Blinken dons mantel of legendary ‘invulnerable’ warrior BERSERK, binding US to Israelis' offensive plans for Gaza. To Face the Nation: No ceasefire; No bombing pause. US “is focused on how best to achieve the results that they seek in military operations”.
Why Joe Biden & son, Blinken, & Sullivan may resort to "mini-nukes", rather than concede Ukraine defeat & NATO "power failure". Short answer: only 14 months before election AND they have personal stake. If they lose, there is enough evidence for jail time.
The “Russian-hack-of-DNC-emails” canard was shot quite dead on Dec 5, 2017 in sworn House testimony by 'CrowdStrike' head Adam Schiff hid it for 29 months, then was forced to make public on May 7, 2020, SIXTEEN MONTHS AGO. Please, someone tell the NY Times
Princeton Prof Emeritus/former UN Rapporteur for Human Rights Falk reminds: In 2010-2014 Hamas pushed publicly and privately for 50-yr cease-fire w Israel on condition Israel obey unanimous UNSC Res 242 of 1967. Falk was part of the back-channel exchange.
Amy Goodman and her Russiagate go-to "expert" Marcy Wheeler take cue from NYT, MSNBC, WashPost, and Lanny Davis on “stunning” Manafort and Cohen convictions, which throw NO light on “Trump-Russia collusion.” But NYT editors call you a "complete fantasist," if you can't see it.
Surprise! Russia has given advanced ICBM to North Korea. White House flummoxed; not yet able to craft Memo to Media as to how to handle. I just briefed the judge on this
based largely on work of Ted Postol, Prof Emeritus, MIT.
SHAME ON THE CHURCH'S SILENCE ... and other indignities. With the familiar lack of moral leadership, it is UP TO US. Let's not limit ourselves to rhetorical empathy/platitudes or -- like the Germans -- acquiesce with sheepish submissiveness. Ray with Nima:
From the sublime to the ridiculous: From Camus, Socrates, Aquinas, Chrysostom, Medea Benjamin & Ann Wright to Blinken, Austin, and Armed Services Committee Senators arrogantly misguided, completely corrupt, or both. Ray includes them all on Dialogue Works.
Tanks but No Tank: $10k throwaway Russian drone destroys $10-million US Abrams tank arriving late to the party, as VIPS predicted.
BUT NOT TO WORRY: The money for producing still more tanks good for WWII “stays here, creates jobs”.
To a Australian MP of conscience, Andrew Wilkie
@wilkieMP
: You spoke out and quit Aussie Intel over the fraudulent intelligence BEFORE the attack on Iraq. Once again, THANKS for standing on principle. A politician with the guts to support countryman Assange. Your old friend, Ray
MUST WATCH Assange persecution by UK vassal of US explained in 4 min by Glenn Greenwald; suggests that Trump summon the guts to “pardon” both Julian and Snowden, and show that the President is in charge — not the "Deep State"
