Sibel Edmonds' Boiling Frogs

In the thirty-ninth edition of the Russian Newspapers Monitor, Professor Filip Kovacevic discusses the articles from four Russian newspapers: Nezavisimaya Gazeta, Izvestia, Vedomosti, and Kommersant. He discusses the weapons and energy deals currently being made between Russia and Turkey, the efforts by the Russian government to combat the falsification of the World War II history now rampant in the anti-Russian regimes in Eastern Europe, and the recent high-level negotiations of the U.S. and Russian diplomats in Washington, DC that seem to have led nowhere.

Did a series of banks not-so-randomly failing across Europe present a negative bellwether for another imminent 2008 Global Financial Crisis?  How would any average citizen know?  In this inaugural episode of Money and Fear, we’ll review a sampling of bank failures, weigh whether more institutions can and/or will fail, and what it all means for “systemic risks”, “contagion”, and other fun technical words used to nonchalantly summarize global economic mayhem.  We’ll also ask if there is any sense of a wider – or deeper – design to such wealth destruction which would seek financial asset consolid

This week on Newsbud’s China Watch: Bumrushing China Containment in India and Australia.  What’s really going on between the Indian Army and the PLA in Bhutan?  Spoiler: it’s not a threat south to the Siliguri Corridor.  It’s competition between China and India east west along the Himalayan tier.  We’ll also take a look at Australia’s 50 billion dollar submarine screw-up, and find out who’s blocking Australia’s promotion to a full-fledged member of the China containment quadrilateral…and why.  And Is Liu Xiaobo’s death a case of medical murder?

Legally owning a gun in America could get you killed by a government agent. While it still technically remains legal to own a firearm in America, possessing one can now get you pulled over, searched, arrested, subjected to all sorts of surveillance, treated as a suspect without ever having committed a crime, shot at and killed. This same rule does not apply to government agents, however, who are armed to the hilt and rarely given more than a slap on the wrists for using their weapons to shoot and kill American citizens.

In the thirty-eighth edition of the Russian Newspapers Monitor, Professor Filip Kovacevic discusses the articles from four Russian newspapers: Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Nezavisimaya Gazeta, Izvestia, and Komsomolskaya Pravda.

What we are now experiencing is a civil war, devised and instigated in part by the U.S. government. The outcome for this particular conflict is already foregone: the police state wins. The objective: compliance and control. The strategy: destabilize the economy through endless wars, escalate racial tensions, polarize the populace, heighten tensions through a show of force, intensify the use of violence, and then, when all hell breaks loose, clamp down on the nation for the good of the people and the security of the nation.

The temperature is rising all across the nation. The “winter of our discontent” has given way to an overheated, sweltering summer in which shouting matches are skating dangerously close to becoming physical altercations. What most Americans don’t realize however is that the government has been anticipating and preparing for civil unrest for years now, as evidenced by the build-up of guns and tanks and militarized police and military training drills and threat assessments and extremism reports and surveillance systems and private prisons.

The ISIS campaign of murder in Asia continued last week.  But the rise of ISIS, the jihadi threat the West loves to hate, but can’t seem to stamp out, masked an equally important phenomenon: the return of the US military to a leading role in the business of security, chaos, and bodycounts as Trump turns to the Pentagon to roll back the gains China made in Asia during the Obama years.  That means new policies and new dangers for Thailand, Burma, the South China Sea, and the Philippines.

President Donald Trump is rolling back the thaw in relations with Cuba put into place by the Obama administration. Trump said the Cuban people deserve freedom. On this episode of The Geopolitical Report, we look at the installation of a brutal dictator by the United States on the island nation. Fulgencio Batista overthrew the Cuban government in 1952. His military regime ruled with an iron fist. Batista tortured and killed his own citizens for daring to challenge his authoritarian rule.

When our own government no longer sees us as human beings with dignity and worth but as things to be manipulated, maneuvered, mined for data, manhandled by police, conned into believing it has our best interests at heart, mistreated, jailed if we dare step out of line, and then punished unjustly without remorse—all the while refusing to own up to its failings—we are no longer operating under a constitutional republic.

In the thirty-seventh edition of the Russian Newspapers Monitor, Professor Filip Kovacevic discusses the articles from four Russian newspapers: Izvestia, Nezavisimaya Gazeta, Kommersant, and Komsomolskaya Pravda. He discusses the new generation of the Russian ballistic missiles, the recent summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in Astana, Kazakhstan, the dispute between the U.S. and Russia regarding the seized Russian real estate in the U.S., and the changing health habits of the Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov.

The stakes got higher for China this week as ISIS exploded in China’s two core strategic zones--the South China Sea and Central Asia--with an insurrection in the Philippines and the murder of two Chinese nationals in Pakistan.  Funny coincidence?  Maybe.  Maybe not.  Maybe ISIS is using a niche strategy to pursue its resurrection in Asia through operations designed not to directly antagonize—or perhaps even please--the United States.  For whatever reason, ISIS has become a key headache for the PRC overnight, just as China’s geopolitical rise in Asia bumps up against the United States and India

Sarah Leigh Winner, also known as Reality Winner, the NSA contractor busted for leaking a document to The Intercept, is a patsy framed by the Deep State. On this edition of The Geopolitical Report, we delve into suspicious circumstances in the case, including Winner's alliance with the alt-left and failed presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, her violent comments about President Donald Trump, the ongoing bogus charge Russia hijacked the election, the war on whistleblowers, and the connections between The Intercept and the National Security Administration.

DOD Spent $48,984,468,000+ on 225 Individual Contracts in May 2017 The Pentagon issues a jumbled list of contracts every business day around 5:00PM local time. Our project distills an entire month of these contracts into an accessible form.

The U.S. government isn’t protecting us from terrorism. The U.S. government is creating the terror. It is, in fact, the source of the terror. Just think about it for a minute: almost every tyranny being perpetrated against the citizenry—purportedly to keep us safe and the nation secure—has come about as a result of some threat manufactured in one way or another by the U.S. government. Cyberwarfare. Terrorism. Bio-chemical attacks. The nuclear arms race. Surveillance. The drug wars. In almost every instance, the U.S.

In this week’s edition of Mind Hack, Jeff DeRiso discusses how one of the new services offered by Facebook seeks to monopolize internet speech in the developing world.  He also looks at the recruitment tactics of religious cults, and how these tactics often lead to tragic endings.  We’ll also explore the roots of fictional narratives, and why people prefer narratives over raw information. *Follow us here at Newsbud Twitter

This week on Newsbud’s China Watch with Peter Lee:  the OBOR Forum was China’s claim to global leadership; but there’s plenty of people out there, powerful people, who don’t want to see that happen.  And they’re doing something about it. *Follow us here at Newsbud Twitter
