UK-funded psyop, war-torn Yemen & Bush’s criminal legacy: John Pilger looks back at 2018

 

Journalist John Pilger has recapped major events and crises that unfolded across the globe this year in an interview to RT.

 

The recent emerging scandal around the shadowy UK government-funded Integrity Initiative (II) leaked by Anonymous hacktivists has been hitting the headlines over the past month. Commenting on the II motto which is ‘Defending Democracy against Disinformation’ Pilger said: “I would say ‘satire’ but it isn't satire.”

 

“It's been dug from a hole marked Cold War. It sounds like 1950,” the investigative journalist told RT's Going Underground, apparently referring to the notorious CIA-led Operation Mockingbird which pursued similar aims.

 

“But it's sort of more serious now because it does tell us where so much journalism has gone,” he added.

 

Posed as a charity fighting disinformation, the Integrity Initiative has been revealed to be conducting secret influence campaigns across Europe and working hand-in-glove with selected journalists to maintain high levels of anti-Russian sentiment within the mainstream media.

 

“This is what I call Vichy journalism. This is journalism of those who are going along with the state.”

 

Pilger told RT's Afshin Rattansi that he finds it “difficult to believe” how some journalists “should allow themselves to be indulged” by the British government “at a time when there is a litany of lies about Russia, about China — about so many issues that endanger us.”

 

According to Pilger, the Cold War doesn't exist in the most of the world. “Most of the world doesn't know what it is about. It exists in the enlightened centers of London and Washington, and perhaps in Berlin or Brussels,” the legendary journalist said.

Turkish Foreign Minister: Netanyahu Is “Cold-Blooded Killer Of Modern Times”

 

Public relations between Israel and Turkey have not been very friendly over the past few months.

 

On December 23, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu took to Twitter to accuse Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of being responsible for the killing of thousands of Palestinians. He described Netanyahu as “a cold-blooded killer of modern times, responsible for massacres of thousands of innocent Palestinians, bombing children on beaches.” Cavusoglu added that Ankara “will never stop exposing the truth.”

 

On December 22, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused the Israeli state of opressing Palestinians.

 

“The Jews in Israel kick people laying on the ground. In fact, Jews don’t kick men but also women and children when they fall in the ground. But as Muslims, we will confront these people if they have courage to deal with us and we’ll teach them a lesson”, Erdogan stressed.

 

The Israeli Prime Minister came up with own response.

 

Earlier, the Turkish president described Israel as “thuggery, violence and state terror” amid the Palestinians’ Great March of Return and compared Israel’s actions to the Nazi persecution of Jews.

Miller 'Has No Orders’ On Troop Reduction In Afghanistan

 

The US and NATO Forces Commander in Afghanistan Gen. Scott Miller in a meeting with Nangarhar governor on Sunday assured that they will continue to support the Afghan forces even if they get an order about troop withdrawal – an issue which Miller says is rumors by “newspapers”.

 

“I have seen the same rumors I have from the newspapers but all I would assure you is first of all I have no orders, so nothing changed,” he said in the meeting.

 

Miller said their support to Afghan forces will continue in the same level.

 

“But if I do get orders, I think it is important for you to know that we are still with the security forces. Even if I have get a little bit smaller, we will be okay,” he said.

 

Meanwhile, Miller insisted on a political solution for Afghanistan and said that “political settlement will only happen through Afghans talking to Afghans".

 

The US general said much has been said about Afghan forces casualties but "Taliban casualties have been very dire as well".

 

“What I think is important is – I have talked often about – a political solution, not a military solution to this conflict. It is time for the hostilities to end and it will only happen through Afghans talking to Afghans,” Miller said. “It is the time to end those hostilities to start talking to one another.”

 

This comes as Miller visited Farah province on Thursday, where he said they are here in Afghanistan to support peace and stability and ensure a continued support to the Afghan people.

 

Miller said the foreign forces are in Afghanistan to help maintain peace and safeguard the country’s national interests.

 

“We are here in Afghanistan to first and foremost to see peace, at some point, unity across Afghanistan and protect the national interests,” miller said.

 

The Ministry of Interior Affairs meanwhile said Washington so far has not made an official comment about troop reduction in Afghanistan, adding that in case there is such a plan under discussion, those forces will be withdrawn from the country who have advisory role, but not those forces who have the fighting role such as US air force.

 

“Afghan forces are handling the operations for several years now. We are having only the logistical and air cooperation by our international colleagues,” said MoI spokesman Najib Danish.

 

This comes a day after Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi welcomed US President Donald Trump’s decision on withdrawal of forces from Afghanistan and said it will help move forward the ongoing efforts for peace talks in Afghanistan.

Israel

 

>>4393047(pb) This is an update to below

Russia setting up the defensive systems in Syria have left IDF fuming as they can no longer do fly by mass killings of innocents in Syria. Instantly after Syria was shut down the Palestinians started firing rockets to which Israel attacked; there have been ongoing border killings in Gaza since but such attacks do not provide significant amounts of death. To overcome this the new narrative of Lebanese tunnels has been engaged to try and create a new war so the death of innocents can be increased to cover the lack of death being attained from Syria.

The new rules of engagement put forth by Russia and Syria have sent a clear message to Israel to stop probing the Syrian defense systems and attacking the Damascus airport, which the Syrian government have repeatedly denied the occurrence of but the twitter feeds out of Syria always contradict the later official version denying an Israeli attack. Israel believes Trump is in their pocket and will turn on Russia to advance the Israeli goal of world domination with the antichrist ruling from the CHAIR in the third temple as written in prophesy of religious texts. If true why would Trump be part of the Q team? Why give us the tools to dismantle the cabal and power of knowledge if his plan was to slaughter us? We were ready for the kill when Trump took power.

Funny how we are told "antisemitism' is on the rise again right on queue as the truth starts to come out! People are inherently good and I believe their are Jews who do not support the Talmudic teachings just as there are Muslims who do not approve of the dark teachings of the Wahhabi version of Islam.
