Uprooted Palestinians are at the heart of the conflict in the M.E Palestinians uprooted by force of arms. Yet faced immense difficulties have survived, kept alive their history and culture, passed keys of family homes in occupied Palestine from one generation to the next.
Hezbollah Secretary General, His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, issued a statement mourning the martyrdom of IRGC Quds Force Commander Martyr Leader Qassem Soleimani
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
{Among the believers are men true to their pledge before God. Some of them have fulfilled their vows, and some are still waiting, and never wavering.}
Allah the Almighty has spoken the truth
Given that the beloved brother and great leader Hajj Qassem Soleimani has fulfilled his ultimate hope by achieving noble martyrdom, he truly became the master of the martyrs in the resistance axis.
We offer our condolences to our master and Imam, master of the time, may God Almighty hasten his relief; to His Eminence the Leader, Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Khamenei, to our great religious references and dear brothers and officials of the Islamic Republic in Iran, especially the leadership of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard and the great and resisting Iranian people, to each and every member in Hajj Qassem’s noble and resisting family in particular.
I extend the warmest condolences to them all on the loss of this brave and ingenious role model and compassionate father of all resistance fighters and Mujahideen in our region.
I congratulate and exult him on this great martyrdom and for arriving to the high status in the school of (Imam) Hussein and Zainab, peace be upon them. This is what the scene is like for us.
This is how we perceive the scene and the situation.
Concerning us who remained after him, we will pursue his path and work night and day to achieve his goals. We’ll carry his flag in all arenas, fields and fronts. The victories of the resistance axis will increase with the blessing of his sacred blood, just like these victories grew with his perseverence and tireless struggle. It will be the responsibility, duty, and action of all resistance fighters and Mujahideen throughout the world to take harsh revenge from his criminal killers who are the worst villains of this world.
The US killers, God willing, will not be able to achieve any of their goals with this huge crime. Rather, all of Hajj Qassem’s goals will be accomplished owing to the greatness of his soul and blood. (The goals) will be accomplished by his brothers, children, and students of the resistance from all the peoples of our nations that reject humiliation and submission to the imperialists and tyrants.
Glory, honor, and high ranks be to the great martyr leader Hajj Qassem Soleimani, and to all the dear Mujahideen who were martyred with him, especially the great martyr leader Abu Mahdi, may Allah be pleased with them.

تغطية خاصة | 2020-01-03 | إغتيال القادة “قاسم سليماني وأبو مهدي المهندس”
By Mansoureh Tajik – Translation of the full message by the Leader, Ayatullah Khamenei, regarding the martyrdom of Shahid Sardar Qasem Suleimani and his companions, on January 3, 2020. Original in Farsi from: http://farsi.khamenei.ir/
“In the Name of God the Most Graceful and the Most Merciful,
Dear Iranian Nation!
The great and honorable commander of Islam became heavenly. Last night, the pure spirits of martyrs collectively embraced the purified soul of Qasem Suleimani. Years of sincere and brave struggles and fights in battlefields with evils and nefarious forces of the world, and years of yearning to get killed in the path of God finally elevated beloved Suleimani to this prominent status: His purified blood was spilt in the hands of the most wretched and the most pathetic among humanity.
I congratulate this magnificent martyrdom to “The Everlasting Proof of God” [Imam Mahdi (pbuh)] and to the pure soul of the martyr himself. And to the nation of Iran, I offer my condolences.
He was an excellent example of those educated in Islam and Imam Khomeini’s school of thought. He spent his entire life fighting in the cause of God.
Martyrdom was his reward for all these years of struggle. With his departure, with God’s Will and Help, his path will neither be stopped nor closed. However, a severe retaliation awaits the criminals who painted their corrupt hands with his and his martyred companions’ blood last night.
Martyr Suleimani is an international face to the Resistance and all lovers of the Resistance share a demand in retaliation for his blood. All friends – as well as all enemies – must know the path of Fighting and Resistance will continue with double the will and the final victory is decidedly waiting for those who fight in this path. The loss of our selfless and beloved commander is bitter but the continuation of the fight and the achievement of the final victory will leave a more bitter taste for the culprits and the criminals.
Iranian nation will commemorate the name and memory of the high status martyr, Commander Lieutenant General Qasem Suleimani and his martyred companions, especially the great warrior of Islam, His Excellency Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis. I announce 3 days of mourning in the country and to the beloved wife, children, and family, I offer my congratulations and condolences. Seyyed Ali Khamenei13 Dey, 1398”

سفارة المؤامرات .. وصلت الرسالة ! – حديث الساعة
تغطية خاصة – استشهاد اللواء الحاج قاسم سليماني و الحاج ابو مهدي المهندس بالقرب من مطار بغداد
بالفيديو.. كيف تمت العملية الامريكية الغادرة ؟ شاهد التفاصيل
لم يكن الحاج قاسم سليماني، وأبو مهدي المهندس، يتخذان اجراءات امنية غير اعتيادية. على العكس من ذلك، حركتهما كانت شبه طبيعية، وشبه علنية. في بغداد، كان يُعرف موعد قدوم «الحجّي» من طهران أو من غيرها، إلى العاصمة العراقية، من قِبل غالبية العاملين في الشأن العام. وكان يٌعرف من التقى، ومن سيلتقي. كان الرجلان قريبين من الموت مرات كثيرة. عند محاور القتال، في لبنان والعراق وسوريا، أو على مهداف قتلة الموساد الإسرائيلي ووكالة الاستخبارات المركزية الاميركية غير مرة. لكن قرار عدم اغتيالهما سابقاً كان نتيجة لقوة الردع في محور المقاومة. واغتيالهما فجر اليوم، لم يكن عملية أمنية معقدة؛ لكنه، في الميزان السياسي والعسكري، العملية الأقسى التي يتعرّض لها المحور، منذ استشهاد الحاج عماد مغنية، على أقل تقدير، وعلى مستوى أوسع. ضربة لئيمة، تفتح باب الجنون في الإقليم. من اتخذ القرار، هو إما غبيّ لا يدري ما أقدم عليه، أو، والأرجح، انه يفتح باباً لحرب اعدّ لها مسبقاً. هو قرار تريد منه الولايات المتحدة الأميركية القول لمحور المقاومة إن «قوة ردعك تتآكل، ولن يثنينا شيء عن منعك من طردنا من الاقليم، وسنستهدف كل قادتك ونقاط قوتك». هي معادلة «صفرية»، سيكون على محور المقاومة ألا يتعامل معها إلا بما يوجب الثأر، لا طلباً للثأر وحسب، بل لإعادة الاعتبار إلى قوة ردعه، وترسيخ ما انجزه على مدى عقود. اغتيال قائد قوة القدس في الحرس الثوري الإيراني، الحاج قاسم سليماني، ونائب رئيس هيئة الحشد الشعبي، أبو مهدي المهندس، في بغداد، قبيل منتصف ليل الخميس – الجمعة (2-3 كانون الثاني 2020)، لا يمكن أن يمر كغيره من الاحداث في الإقليم.
سليماني هو الجنرال الإيراني الأشهر، شريك الحاج عماد مغنية في الدفاع عن لبنان في حرب تموز – آب 2006، والداعم الاول للمقاومة العراقية ضد الاحتلال الأميركي – البريطاني للعراق، ومهندس خطوط الدفاع عن دمشق، والشريك الميداني للرئيس السوري بشار الأسد في المعارك السورية الكبرى (كمعركة استعادة حلب، على سبيل المثال لا الحصر)، والرجل الذي فاوض الرئيس الروسي فلاديمير بوتين لإقناعه بالتدخل في سوريا، وشريك مدير الاستخبارات التركية حقان فيدان في تسويات الشمال السوري وغيرها، وصلة الوصل الأولى بين إيران وفصائل المقاومة الفلسطينية. في عهده تحوّلت قوة القدس في الحرس الثوري إلى قوة عسكرية إقليمية عظمى، تعمل كقوة إسناد حربي و«لوجستي» في المناطق الممتدة من اليمن جنوباً، إلى ما بعد العراق شمالاً، مروراً بلبنان وسوريا وفلسطين، وخاصة في قطاع غزة حيث له نصيب كبير في تطوير قدرات المقاومة. في سوريا والعراق، تلاحقه اسرائيل ملاحقة استعلامية حثيثة، وعملياتية، لمنعه من نقل أسلحة كاسرة للتوازن إلى البلدين، و«استنساخ» تجربة المقاومة اللبنانية فيهما، وهو ما ترى فيه تل أبيب خطراً وجودياً.
الحاج قاسم سليماني قضى على الطريق من مطار بغداد إلى العاصمة العراقية. هو نفسه، في نظر محور المقاومة، طريق القدس. كان آتياً من دمشق، فخرج المهندس لاستقباله في المطار. غادرا في «موكب» بسيط، مؤلف من سيارتين لا اكثر. استهدفتهما طائرات اميركية، بعيد انطلاقهما من المطار، ليقضي كل من كان في السيارتين، وبينهم، إلى سليماني والمهندس، مسؤول التشريفات في الحشد الشعبي، محمد رضا الجابري، وعدد من أعضاء الحشد.
اما المهندس، (اسمه الحقيقي جمال محمد جعفر) فهو، عملياً، قائد أركان «هيئة الحشد الشعبي». النائب السابق في البرلمان، عاد إلى بغداد عام 2003، آتياً من طهران بعد تهجيرٍ دام أكثر من عشرين عاماً. معارضته لحكم «البعث» والرئيس صدّام حسين أوصلته الى نهاية المطاف أن يكون قائداً لـ«فيلق بدر»، منتصف الثمانينيات. اكتسب في تلك الفترة خبرة عسكرية واسعة، ما لبث أن طورها في مقاومة الاحتلال الأميركي، وقتال «داعش». الرجل الستيني، ابن مدينة البصرة، متّهمٌ بجملة قضايا «إرهابية»، كتفجيرات الكويت التي استهدفت السفارتين الأميركية والفرنسية عام 1983.
سارعت واشنطن إلى تبني عملية اغتيالهما، على لسان مسؤول تحدّث إلى «رويترز». اغتيالهما أتى في سياق سياسي وعسكري عراقي شديد التعقيد. انتفاضة شعبية تسعى واشنطن إلى استثمار نتائجها لصالحها، والتأسيس عليها لتقليص نفوذ طهران في بلاد الرافدين، وتنفيذ انقلاب ضد الحشد الشعبي وفصائل المقاومة العراقية. اما عسكرياً، فلجأت قوات الاحتلال الأميركي، يوم الاحد الماضي، إلى الاعتداء على مقار للحشد الشعبي عند الحدود العراقية – السورية، قرب مدينة القائم، ما أدى إلى استشهاد أكثر من 25 مقاتلاً، وجرح العشرات. لم يكن ذلك رداً على استهداف موضعي لقاعدة عسكرية أميركية في بغداد، بل سعياً من قوات الاحتلال إلى تثبيت قواعد سياسية جديدة، عنوانها الفصل بين سوريا والعراق، وتحجيم «الحشد» وباقي قوى محور المقاومة في بلاد الرافدين. كان الجميع في انتظار الرد على الاحتلال الأميركي، فإذا به يذهب بعيدا، فجر اليوم، باغتيال الحاج قاسم والمهندس، في عملية عنوانها هذه المرة الفصل بين ايران والعراق، ومن خلفه باقي قوى المحور.
ماكينة الشائعات الأميركية – الخليجية انطلقت فور تنفيذ الجريمة. جرى التداول بأسماء قادة من حزب الله اللبناني للقول بأنهم استشهدوا مع سليماني والمهندس، إلا أن مصادر عراقية ولبنانية نفت وجود أي شهيد من الحزب في العملية. بعد ذلك، نشرت قناة «العربية» السعودية خبراً مفاده أن قوات المارينز اعتقلت قائد «عصائب اهل الحق» الشيخ قيس الخزعلي، وقائد منظمة بدر هادي العامري. الخبر ليس صحيحاً، لكنه مؤشر إلى لائحة الأهداف الاميركية في «أرض السواد». الخزعلي والعامري كانا إلى جانب المهندس وغيره من قادة الحشد الشعبي وفصائل المقاومة العراقية، يقودون الجماهير التي اقتحمت مجمع السفارة الأميركية في بغداد الثلاثاء الماضي، تعبيراً عن الغضب لعدوان القائم.
اغتيال سليماني والمهندس، ليس حدثاً عابراً. هو قرار اتخذته الإدارة الأميركية بإشعال الإقليم، وفي أقل تقدير، محاولة لإعادة الزمن إلى الوراء، ومحو النتائج التي أفرزها صمود محور المقاومة في لبنان وسوريا واليمن والعراق وفلسطين، وسعي إلى المزيد من العدوان الذي يُراد منه تدمير كل المنجزات التراكمية لهذا المحور. ومن دون أي «معلومة» من أي «مصدر موثوق» في المحور، يمكن توقّع رد فعله. ثمة خطوط حمراء أسقطها اغتيال سليماني تحديداً… وبناءً على ذلك، ستدفع الولايات المتحدة الثمن باهظاً. فالخطوط الحمر لا تسقط من جانب واحد.
I just got home and saw the news that General Qasem Soleimani has been murdered along with another 5-8 people by what was initially reported as a MRL strike (Russian sources say it was a drone attack).
This was bad enough. Then this:
The Telegram channel of RIA News reports that the US has claimed that it was responsible for that attack.
So far, PressTV has NOT confirmed the death of Soleimani but other media outlets have.
IF he is really dead, then the likely scenario is the following one:
BEGIN 100% SPECULATION Trump threatened Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declared that there is nothing the US could do, and just to prove him wrong, the US murdered Soleimani. Of course, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei meant that there is nothing *effective* which the US could do. He clearly did not have a cowardly assassination in mind. As for Uncle Shmuel, he now can see that he “showed the Ayatollahs” how invincible the Empire is. And to hell with the consequences (already started). END 100% SPECULATION.
Now back to the attack itself.
Frankly, I was hoping that Trump and/or Netanyahu had enough brains NOT to claim the attack, whether they did it or not. And, sure enough, it now appears that the US did make that claim.
Now there is only one question left: can the Iranians let this murder go unpunished?
Maybe. But I can’t imagine that they will.
Next, no matter HOW the Iranians retaliate, the US will use that as a pretext to attack Iran.
Right now, it is 01:46 GMT and it is much too early to call this as many of the key facts are missing.
Still, considering the little we know I see no other option that the warn you all that we might have a war in the Middle-East literally any minute now.
I will try to scout the news for any info.
If you see anything interesting please post the info in the comments section (including the source). I ESPECIALLY need to see if the US OFFICIALLY confirms that it is behind the attack.
General Qasem Soleimani was a true hero, and he was my “Saker Man of the Year” in 2015. This is truly a major loss for all freedom loving people. May God rest his soul!
UPDATE6: according to this source, this is an email from the Pentagon “At the direction of the President, the U.S. military has taken decisive defensive action to protect U.S. personnel abroad by killing Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force, a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization,” the Department of Defense said in an emailed statement.“
Okay, we now know that Soleimani has indeed been murdered and that the US did it. So the key facts are all in. Now all we can do is to way for the political fallout from this assassination (both inside and outside the USA and both inside and outside Iran).
Let me state here that I do NOT believe that Russia will be involved in any way. Neither will China. Why? Because now everything hinges on the Iranian reaction. I will try to produce an analysis in the course of the day tomorrow.
If you have any relevant/interesting info, please post it in the comments section below. I will read it before I write my analysis. Right now, I would say that war is about 80% certain, with 20% left for two reasons: first, the Iranians are extremely sophisticated actors who will do nothing without first making an in-depth analysis of the situation and, second, because we still don’t have all the facts (we only have the core, key, facts).
At this point it makes not sense for me to remain on standby. I better get some sleep before tomorrow’s analysis.
Until then, I wish you all a good night/morning/day or evening.
Crucially – don’t lose hope!! I will explain tomorrow why we should not over-react to this tragic and evil event.
It’s New Year’s Eve again, which means it’s time for our annual wrap-up, looking at some of the most important and unusual, and dare we say conspiratorial events of 2019. This past year was built on the back of a highly polarizing 2018, which saw the post-World War II world order coming apart at the seams, and the 20th century religions of neoliberalism and globalization being relegated to the ideological depths in the face of an evolving nationalist and mercantilist Anglo-American-dominated transatlantic order. Following on from 2018, this year saw the collapse of the seemingly sacrosanct ‘official conspiracy theory’ narratives of improbable ‘chemical attacks’ like Skripal in the UK, and Douma in Syria, both of which had profound geopolitical ramifications at the time. These are just a few stories which helped to shape the zeitgeist this past year. If 2019 taught us anything, it’s that conspiracies are real…
There were a number of honorable mentions this past year which would have normally been good enough to break into the top ten in previous years, but not this time…
Honorable Mentioned Highlights – One event which would’ve normally made it into the top ten, but didn’t, was President Trump’s grand decree in October that he would be “pulling US troops out of Syria” – only this was the third time he made such an announcement in the past 24 months, and just like the previous ones, this one was another bait and switch. To compensate for leaving US forces to illegally occupy Syria’s own oil fields, Trump was able to ‘close the file’ on alleged ISIS leader Abu Bakar Al-Baghdadi. We’re told that the illusive Caliph was supposedly chased-down, “whimpering and crying,” by a US military German Shepherd in a dead-end underground tunnel in Idlib. Of course, we’ll never know what actually happened because the US military proceeded to level the compound with an airstrike, thus destroying any evidence. Other official conspiracy theories of note included the untimely death of British mercenary entrepreneur, James Le Mesurier, who was founder of the controversial White Helmets ‘search and rescue’ group. After his death, ruled a likely suicide under the influence of medication (falling from his balcony while his wife was sleeping in the adjacent room) by Istanbul police, Le Mesurier’s defenders in mainstream media and intelligence agencies began blaming his death on members of public, journalists and academics who had either questioned or criticized Le Mesurier and the nature of US and UK-backed White Helmets operations alongside listed terrorist organizations in Syria. On a related geopolitical front, Iran featured heavily in what some dubbed as the Tanker Wars in 2019, which included a series of unidentified attacks on western and Gulf flagged oil tankers traveling in the Persian Gulf. Naturally, these were blamed on Iran by the US, and were followed by the British military hijacking and seizing an Iranian tanker off Gibraltar and preventing it from delivering fuel to the sanctions-hit economy of Syria. It seemed the West was testing various mechanisms to trigger a war with Iran, maybe hoping for an irrational response which never came. The US also baited the Iranians by flying in its airspace with their $150 million Globalhawk drone, which Iran shot down with their $12,000 anti-aircraft unit. Tensions remain high. 2018’s “Antisemitism in the Labour Party” canard was ramped-up and weaponized in 2019 to form part of an all-out establishment propaganda effort to reduce electoral support for Britain’s Labour Party in the run-up to the General Election. Sadly, it worked, but the political assassination of Jeremy Corbyn will go down in history as one of the darkest political acts ever, perpetrated by a shrewd coalition that included the Israeli Lobby, the Conservative Party, the Tony Blair wing of the Labour Party, and the mainstream media. Other honorable mentions for 2019 may include Brussels moving ever-closer to finalizing its new “EU Army”, aka EU Defense Union, something which Tories happily avoided talking about before the last election, possibly because they have quietly committed to opt-in to the new defense arrangement – even if there’s a Brexit. In Asia, the western press began ramping-up the human rights rhetoric in order to condemn China for its treatment of Muslim ethnic minority Uyghurs in the western Chinese province of Xinjiang, claiming China has interned millions of Uyghurs in cruel concentration camps. But the US seems to be taking a leaf from China’s authoritarian book, as Silicon Valley’s Kafkaesque political censorship and de-platforming program reach new highs in 2019, and looks set to continue in 2020 with the US elections. Twitter was also exposed as employing Saudi spies to dig up dirt on critics of the regime, as well as British spooks from Brigade 77 information warfare unit embedded at the tech firm too. Late in the year, the US also saw a bizarre mass shooting by a ‘rogue’ Saudi pilot training at the US base there, which was quietly swept under the rug by US officials. Around the same time, we saw yet another alleged ‘ISIS inspired’ terror attack on London Bridge – a quintessential Daily Shooter event if there ever was one, featuring another known wolf, on the radar of intelligence, wearing a tag, and even attending a ‘prisoner reform’ conference next door. Unfortunately the perp won’t be interrogated because he was executed on the city pavement before anyone could get to the bottom of what happened, and more importantly, why. Shades of Jean Charles de Menezes, and so many others by now.
One important thing to consider about 2019 is the slow motion break-down of all the western establishment’s official Russian conspiracy theories, all of which have featured so heavily in American and European politics since 2014. In other words, this worn-out framework has all but collapsed, but that won’t stop the usual media maven and political opportunists from still flogging that old horse.
With that in mind, here are some of the absolute blockbuster top real conspiracies of 2018…
10.Hong Kong’s ‘Democracy’ Protests – Hong Kong ends 2019 with more ‘democracy’ protests, supposedly disrupting normal festivities and shopping in China’s unique financial hub. Both US Democrats and Republicans gushed over protest leader Joshua Wong, flying him to Washington for photo-ops with Nancy Pelosi and Marco Rubio. However, it soon became known that the US government was actually directing and funding this supposed ‘grass roots uprising’ in China’s troubled territory. The US mainstream media then spun a propaganda campaign to try and paint the Chinese police in Hong Kong as ‘brutal’ and ‘repressive’, when in fact they were the opposite. Then evidence began to emerge showing extreme violence being used by the US-backed protest mobs, where Wong’s masked foot soldiers could be seen beating innocent passers-by, and even attacking elderly residents as well. ‘Pro-Democracy’ violence featured one particularly grisly attempted murder of multiple Hong Kong residents, including State Department-backed ‘freedom demonstrators’ who set a man on fire, attempting to burn him alive on the street. This push to demonize China can be viewed as part of the new US focus to disrupt and damage China’s reputation internationally as it attempts to forge ahead with its world-beating Belt and Road Initiative. Of course, the US is not taking China’s ascendancy lying down, but by the same token, fielding street thugs on the streets of Hong Kong may not net any long-term dividends, other than anger China and re-polarize the Pacific Rim. Maybe, that’s the plan.
9. Reconquista: Washington’s Take-down of South America – In 2019, Washington began turning back the clock to CIA’s golden years of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, where democratically Latin American governments were toppled one by one, and replaced by US-installed fascists and military juntas. The year started off with a bang, as the US State Department and its various operatives, over the span of three months, attempted no less than three failed coups in Venezuela. They even wheeled-out Jurassic neocon Elliot Abrams from the basement of Foggy Bottom to see if he had any of his 1980’s dark clandestine magic left in him. But the public support of the government of Nicholas Maduro was much stronger than the policy maven and spooks in Washington had anticipated. Comically, Neocons even went so far as to appoint their own President for Venezuela, a marionette named Juan Guaidó, which half of Venezuela hadn’t even heard of. A year on, the entire escapade has become a joke. Not surprisingly, a humiliated Trump Administration has quietly backed off of Venezuela, opting instead to continue sanctioning its economy, shorting its currency, stealing its foreign assets – all in all, punishing its citizens for rejecting a hostile US takeover. But Washington had better luck in Bolivia where a US-backed ultra rightwing fascist column was used in violent street protests demanding the removal of democratically elected President Evo Morales. To pull off the final move, the US had effectively bought off the country’s military and police forces who were used to depose Evo – in classic 1960’s CIA style. Evo was forced to flee his own country to Mexico, as US-backed mobs ransacked his home, and began hunting down and intimidating his political allies. That’s freedom and democracy, American style.
8. Yemeni Drones & Saudi Aramco – In September, an incredible underdog event took place. After nearly five years of a relentless war being waged against Yemen by its neighbor Saudi Arabia along with accomplices the United States, UK and the UAE – Yemen struck back, with its Houthi Resistance fighters launching a makeshift drone attack hitting two major Saudi Aramco oil installations across the border. Even though the Houthi Rebels immediately claimed responsibility for the assault on Abqaiq, the world’s largest oil processing plant, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo immediately rejected the claim, and instead the US and Saudi invented a new official conspiracy theory which blamed Iran, accusing the regional rival of having “now launched an unprecedented attack on the world’s energy supply.” Saudi put on an legendary TV press performance to show the world the ‘evidence’ it had of drone fragments, supposedly implicating Iran. They hoped this could raise tensions enough to justify military action against Iran. “There is no evidence the attacks came from Yemen,” said Pompeo on Twitter. In the end, this intricate conspiracy theory spun by Washington simply fizzled out due to a lack of evidence to support their tenuous claim. As with its embarrassing failure in Venezuela, Washington just backed off quietly, and hoped no one would talk about it any more. What this incident really showed was that under-equipped, under-funded, and fully embargoed Yemen – could deliver a fatal blow inside of Saudi Arabia, and influence world energy markets by doing so. Make no mistake about it: Saudi and the US have been put on notice in Yemen.
7. Mueller and the Collapse of RussiaGate – Remember the official conspiracy theory pushed by the US establishment – that Russia somehow intervened in the 2016 US Presidential Election on behalf of Donald Trump, thus catapulting him into the White House? This past spring, the hysteria and excitement reached such a fever pitch, that Robert Mueller was canonized as the new patron saint of the Resistance movement. But it was a house of cards. Well after three long and torturous years, in an big top circus featuring 40 FBI agents, intelligence analysts, forensic accountants and staff assigned to investigate, more than 2,800 subpoenas issued by the Special Counsel Mueller’s office, some 500 search warrants executed, more than 230 orders for communication records, 50 authorized orders (lets the government know who someone is communicating with and when, but not what they said), 13 evidence requests to foreign governments, 500 witnesses interviewed, well over $30 million taxpayer costs… the much-anticipated Mueller Report and investigation found no evidence that Trump had conspired with Russia. No collusion, and no election ‘interference’ by Russia. Nothing. RussiaGate R.I.P.
It should go down in history as one of the biggest phony official conspiracy theories of all-time. During his own testimony, the vaunted former FBI director Mueller came off as an incompetent old crank. The entire affair was a disaster for Democrats and their loyal mainstream media networks, all of whom had relentlessly hyped this conspiracy for years. In the end, this epic dud can only help Trump in his 2020 re-election bid. Let that sink in for a minute…
6. UkraineGate and Trump’s Impeachment – Alas, the death of RussiaGate gave way to a brand new gate… UkraineGate, and with it came that impeachment hammer which Democrats had been promising from before Trump was even sworn in office. Suddenly, Trump was facing the most perilous threat to a tenure of POTUS since Bill Clinton, Richard Nixon and Andrew Johnson before that – all because of a telephone call on July 25th (the day after Robert Mueller tanked with his disastrous congressional testimony) with Ukraine’s newly elected president, Volodymyr Zelenksy. According to House Democrats, during the call, Trump threatened Zelensky with withholding a free donation of US weapons to Ukraine unless the Ukrainian president re-opened a corruption investigation into 2016 US election meddling under the previous President Poroshenko, and more importantly the activities former vice-president Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden. According to lead inquisitor Adam Schiff (CA-D), someone told someone about the call, who then told a “whistleblower” (a CIA analyst and friend of Obama and the Bidens) about it, who then then filed a complaint. In the end, Ukraine got its free stash of US missiles as ordered, but Democrats claimed Trump abused his power by asking for a “Quid Pro Quo” that somehow placed the national security of the US in grave danger, and that Trump tried to railroad a political opponent (Joe Biden is supposedly the DNC’s pre-determined selection for presidential nominee) by asking a foreign power to investigate him and his son, all of which they say rises to the level of “high crimes” by Trump. When asked, even Zelensky said there was no quid pro quo. This hardly mattered, as the verdict was already written before the hearings. Another grand official conspiracy theory cooked up by the establishment? Seems so. So shaky are Democrats about their case, that House leader Nancy Pelosi has failed to send her Articles of Impeachment before Christmas to the US Senate for the next step which is an Impeachment trial. This kicks the whole affair into the new year, and with poll numbers steadily rising against Democrat’s impeachment misadventure, it does not look good at all for Democrats heading into the 2020 election.
5. Greta – On paper, it sounded like the stuff of Hollywood: a 15-year-old Swedish student started a school strike for ‘the climate’ outside the Swedish Parliament, and her campaign went viral around the globe, and a new youth climate change movement was born. Incredible. Inspiring. Al Gore and associates were over the moon; their Joan of Arc had finally arrived to help save the planet. Time Magazine even named her “Person of the Year” in 2019. But on closer examination, the rise of Greta Thunberg was anything but grassroots. From the very first day, her campaign was driven by a multi-million dollar public relations machine that includes dozens of NGOs and media outlets, foundations and trusts, as part of an environmental astroturf extravaganza, the likes of which we’ve never seen. The practice is known as greenwashing – and in this case, Wall Street and City hedge funds, as well as a gaggle of foundations and NGOs – all hoping to capitalize on the new green bubble, and all determined to use this young child as their political battering ram to drive home an international ‘climate’ agenda. Greta gained headlines after scolding the public with her angry prose, “How dare you!” scowled the angry Swede at the infamous UN panel. “You have stolen my dreams!” railed the youngster to a room full of jovial stakeholders (while putting on an injured voice, reading off the script provided to her by a team of handlers). Their ‘climate emergency’ narrative is based on the theory that man-made CO2 is heating up the Earth’s atmosphere which will cause seas levels to rise and cause the “sixth mass extinction.” However, real data actually indicates that the Earth is heading into a cooling phase and that any changes in climate have nothing to do with man-made activity, but rather from the sun’s activity. Both sides of the debate do not appear to be budging, but the cooling camp seems to have real data in its favor, while the warmists seem to be relying heavily theory and computer-modeled climate predictions – programmed by scientists eager to show that man-made global warming is a real phenomenon. In the end, this unsuspecting child is being used by a cynical class of millionaires and billionaires, clearly stoking-up a generational culture war, with angry middle class youth demanding that western governments ‘unlock’, or rather rob trillions from existing pension funds in order to finance the bold dream of a ‘Green New Deal’ and the promise of a green utopia – they just need you to give them some $51 trillion to fund various and sundry “green tech,” which activists are convinced can lower the earth’s temperature and stave off the inevitable extinction of the human race by 2030, or maybe 2050, or is it 2100? We’re actually not sure, but we promise it’s totally real. What could possibly go wrong?
4. Epstein – As horrendous as revelations of Jimmy Saville were for western high society, the chronicles of billionaire VIP sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein were more devastating by orders of magnitude. His exploits ensnared US President Bill Clinton, and high-flying lawyer Alan Dershowitz, along with a long list of high-ranking VIPs. The fallout didn’t spare the British Royal Family either, with Prince Andrew being cast out into social oblivion for his own role in the scandal. The more the story marinated, the more seedy it became. His was a story of one locked door after another, concealing the adjoining halls of a castle dark which can only be acquired by navigating the circles of extreme wealth and influence. Many believe this was part of a high level blackmail operation designed to create leverage over top decision makers in politics and industry. There are also indications that Epstein “belonged to intelligence,” although it’s not certain which agencies he may have been supplying information to. For his own part, Epstein’s story ended abruptly after he was reportedly unconscious in a federal jail cell at New York’s Metropolitan Correctional Center on Saturday August 10, 2019. The death was quickly ruled a “suicide by hanging.” Somehow, the CCTV camera footage appears to have gone missing. The guards, we’re told, were not on duty. “It was a horrible series of coincidences,” so says the official conspiracy theory of the highly unlikely death of Jeff Epstein in federal custody. He was awaiting a federal trial for charges of conspiracy and sex trafficking of underage girls dating back to the early 2000s. After his death, the trial was shelved. So it goes without saying that many ‘important’ and powerful people benefited from this outcome. His main accomplice is still at large, Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of the late media tycoon and Israeli super spy, Robert Maxwell. Many of the female victims are now speaking out publicly. Will there be any justice? Certainly, the mainstream media appear disinterested in pursuing the criminal segues of this story. Or will it become another grand conspiracy for the ages, alongside JFK, RFK and MLK?
3. A Global Uprising? – In 2019, we saw major uprisings and popular mobilzations on the streets in France, in the Spanish province of Catalan, Chile, Colombia, Argentina, India, Lebanon, Iraq, Haiti, Sudan, Hong Kong, as well as protests building in Netherlands, Italy, and Germany. Many of experts are scratching their heads, asking ‘what does it all mean’? Are these event interconnected, or are they being driven by the same underlying social or economic forces? Many of these events appear to be genuine grassroots events. However, others quite clearly were being co-opted and fueled by foreign powers seeking to capitalize on any succession of power that might be occurring, as was the case with protests in Hong Kong, Iraq, Russia and certainly there was evidence of this in Lebanon, although not as blatant as in other locations. Regardless, this trend is real and potentially world-changing and cannot be ignored, as billions of people (many of them younger) around the globe begin to realize that 20th century stalwarts like neoliberal vudoo economics, savage capitalism, US dollar and IMF debt-based control of the developing world, along with US-led neocolonial foreign policy and endless ‘regime change’ wars – are simply no longer going to cut it going forward. It seems that this new generation won’t settle for business as usual any more. Look out…
2. The OPCW Leaks – Never has there been such a profound story which was being categorically denied and ignored by the entire mainstream press. This past year saw a series of leaks coming out of the UN appointed watchdog, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), which reveal that the alleged ‘chemical attack’ which the West and MSM said took place in Douma, Syria on April 2018 – never actually happened. Which means that the US, UK and France launched a retaliatory strike against Syria on the basis of a well-orchestrated ‘false flag’ hoax. Worst yet, there is proof the OPCW perpetrated an internal cover-up of evidence which would’ve exonerated Damascus. Consider this as Iraq WMD 2.0, because the very same fraudulent practices and heavy-handed US tactics, along with total media acquiescence to the official conspiracy theory narrative – has happened again. Like with the Integrity Initiative leaks which broke in late 2018, the OPCW leaks have been dripping out, some via WikiLeaks, and it’s been death by a thousand cuts for the US, UK and NATO establishment, who’ve been caught not only tampering with an investigation of what was meant to be a neutral international watchdog group, but have summarily closed ranks in an information blackout, even though the scandal is there for the world to see (for those willing to look). The reason for their evasive action is now clear: when the Douma ‘chemical attack’ happened, it was the mainstream media who colluded with western governments, and who relied on US and Saudi-backed terrorists Jayash al-Islam and the White Helmets – all working hand-in-hand to spin-up the West’s official narrative that somehow “Assad had gassed his own people.” And the leaks are still ongoing. Will the media and bamboozled politicians ever address this scandal, or will they play the ostrich until it’s too late? Either way, their credibility is now shot.
1. The Capture of Julian Assange – In April, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was arrested and bundled out of his safe haven in the Ecuadorian embassy after his asylum and citizenship were suddenly revoked by the host country – very clearly part of a coordinated conspiracy waged by the governments of the US, UK, Sweden and Ecuador – to prepare Assange for extradition to the US to face espionage charges by disingenuously re-framing Assange and WikiLeaks, a journalist and a publication – now as a “cyber terrorist” and a “hostile foreign intelligence service.” His removal from the embassy by British police was an act of extraordinary rendition. Despite interventions and rulings by multiple UN representatives, determined British authorities continue to hold Assange without charge in solitary confinement, and heavily sedated (by his own admission), inside of London’s Belmarsh super max prison. The UN’s has ruled that his detention constitutes torture. He is also unable to prepare for his US extradition hearing in February – one of the most important precedent cases, maybe in history, for the future of the freedom of the press. His legal team even requested for more time to submit evidence and postpone of the extradition hearing, but the fix was already in, and the judge flatly refuse to entertain any argument or admit Assange should no longer be held on remand without charge in high security confinement. With his physical and mental health deteriorating rapidly, there is a real risk now that Assange could even die in custody. How long can the supposed guardians of freedom and democracy in the West stand idle while this incredible injustice continues to unfold? Whatever your preferred outcome, the answers to these questions may come soon in the new year. Needless to say, many are hoping that the plutocracy in Washington and London come to their senses, and realize what a historic mistake they are making – and reverse course on this unprecedented judicial disaster..
What a wild year. Expect more of the same in 2020.
