The Secret Logistics of America’s Global Deep State

Why is America’s Baghdad Embassy the world’s largest embassy — and the largest by far?

“It’s as if the US Embassy is there not only to protect American interests, but to manage the entire world from the heart of the capital, Baghdad.”

— Iraqi Sheikh Qassim Al Ta’ee, as quoted on 27 December 2011 in Al Iraq News and translated by Ibrahim Zaidan from the original Arabic by Nicholas Dagher

Zaidan’s article went on to say:

The world’s largest embassy is situated in the Green Zone and fortified by three walls, another barrier of concrete slabs, followed by barbed wire fences and a wall of sandbags. It covers an area of 104 acres, six times larger than UN headquarters in New York and ten times larger than the new embassy Washington is building in Beijing – which is just 10 acres.

[Editor’s’ Note: The ten-acre US Embassy in Beijing is the second largest overseas construction project in the history of the Department of State — and the 104-acre US Embassy in Iraq is the largest.]

So, America’s largest diplomatic mission is surrounded by high concrete walls, is painted in black, brown and grey and is completely isolated from its environment. … The United States announced several months ago that between diplomats and employees, its embassy would include 16,000 people after the pullout of US forces.

On January 1st, Will Sillitoe headlined at the Helsinki Times, “What does the US embassy in Baghdad export to Finland and dozens of other countries?” and he reported that:

More than a million kilograms of cargo were shipped from Baghdad to different parts of the world, reveals US embassies procurement documents.

Mysterious cargo shipments from the US Embassy in Baghdad to other American embassies and consulates around the world have been revealed on a Wikileaks’ database. Procurement orders of US embassies are public documents, but Wikileaks put them in a searchable database making it easier to analyse.

The database displaying worldwide US embassy orders of goods and services reveals Baghdad as a postal and shipping centre for tonnes of freight.

Like the United States, Saudi Arabia has provided support to various factions in the Syrian conflict, including through the supply of weapons. Working with the Bulgarian authorities, CAR has traced numerous items deployed by IS forces to initial exports from Bulgaria to Saudi Arabia. These transfers were uniformly subject to non-retransfer clauses concluded between Saudi Arabia and the Government of Bulgaria prior to export. In this respect, onward retransfers by Saudi Arabia of these weapons contravene its commitments to the Government of Bulgaria not to re-export the materiel in question without Bulgaria’s prior consent.

Just like in the case of the Baghdad Embassy’s agreements with contractors, the powerful party in any contract will be the party whose side is paying (the buyer), and not the party whose side is supplying the service or goods (the seller). Money always rules.

FDA issues warning that some chocolate candies may be contaminated with hepatitis A

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently issued a warning to consumers about certain candies made in Kentucky that could be contaminated with hepatitis A, a highly contagious liver disease, the New York Post reported.

The FDA's warning affects Bauer's Candies Chocolate or Caramel Modjeskas. Consumers and retailers have been advised to throw away and not to eat the affected candies purchased after Nov. 14.

Chocolate and Caramel Modjeskas were sold on QVC, through various retailers, and on the company's website.

The FDA has been working with the 130-year-old candymaker on a voluntary recall after a worker at the Bauer's facility in Kentucky tested positive for hepatitis A.

Has anyone gotten sick from the candy?

The FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention agencies are not aware of any hepatitis A cases related to the consumption of these candies, according to the release.

Risk of infection from consuming the candies is considered low, but anyone who may have eaten the affected candies is advised to see their doctor, especially those who haven't been vaccinated against hepatitis A.

What is hepatitis A?

It is a virus that causes liver inflammation. It can be spread through contaminated food or water.

"Hepatitis A is usually spread when a person ingests fecal matter — even in microscopic amounts — from an infected person; this can happen when an infected person prepares food without appropriate hand hygiene, even before that person shows symptoms of illness," the FDA said.

Symptoms may include fever, headache, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, and pale stool.

What did Bauer's do about it?

"Bauer's voluntarily closed the facility, discarded all candy in house, sanitized per protocol, and began working with Federal and State agencies," the company said in a statement.

"An investigation by our local health department and the FDA found that the risk of contamination to the candy made during this time is extremely low. These agencies have cleared us to continue operation. No candy products manufactured after November 25 are affected in any way."

Punisher Creator Blasts Cops for Using Logo, Says It Represents ‘Failure’ of Law Enforcement

t’s disturbing whenever I see authority figures embracing Punisher iconography because the Punisher represents a failure of the Justice system.

The man behind the comic book anti-hero, The Punisher, recently gave an interview to SyFy.com in which he put police on blast for continuing to use his skull logo. Gerry Conway, who has been writing for both Marvel and DC for decades did not mince words when he called out law enforcement for ridiculously using his symbol of violence and self-righteousness to represent themselves.

According to Conway, the Punisher’s character, Frank Castle represents a failure of the system not a symbol of it. He explained that seeing police and military wearing his logo is disconcerting and disturbing.

“I’ve talked about this in other interviews. To me, it’s disturbing whenever I see authority figures embracing Punisher iconography because the Punisher represents a failure of the Justice system. He’s supposed to indict the collapse of social moral authority and the reality some people can’t depend on institutions like the police or the military to act in a just and capable way.”

Castle exists in the comic book because of bad cops and because of a failed system. For police to embrace this character is as irresponsible as it is insanely ironic. If Castle were a real life character, when citizens march against police brutality and killings, he’d likely be on their side, not the cops.

The actor from the Netflix series of The Punisher, Jon Bernthal agrees. In an interview with Collider.com, Bernthal laid it out clearly.

“As far as I’m concerned, I think for so long now we’ve really gone through this thing in this country where a certain element has a stronghold and a monopoly on what it means to be strong or tough or masculine or patriotic, for that matter. For me, the great joy that I have in playing this role and other roles is where I got to pick soldiers and combat vets, and the guys that share their stories with me. To me, the mark of somebody who is strong, patriotic, tough is someone who has an open mind. Someone who is open to listening to all sides and not be steadfast and not be completely clinging to their own sense of, ‘This is what is right and this is what is wrong.’”

Watch: CNN’s Navarro Files Nails During Border Wall Debate

During a heated debate about illegal immigration with former Donald Trump adviser Steve Cortes Wednesday on CNN’s “Cuomo Primetime,” network commentator Ana Navarro took to filing her nails.

The segment began with Cortes and Navarro, a staunch critic of the president, reacting to Donald Trump, Jr.’s now-deleted tweet that said zoos work because they have walls.

“At the end of the day, Donald Trump, Jr., and whatever he says, can I just file my nails? This is an entitled, rich, spoiled little brat whose only call to fame is being his daddy’s son,” Navarro said.

“Good prop,” Cuomo said, praising Navarro for pulling out a nail file.

Cortes went on to defend President Donald Trump’s stance on illegal immigration, saying that “the illegal alien crime rate should be zero.”

Navarro sighed and pulled her nail file back out.

“You can do your nails,” Cortes told her. “You know who can’t do their nails are people who have been killed, Ana, by dangerous known illegal aliens who have been allowed to stay in this country because of the leftist policies that people like you promote in so-called sanctuary cities.”

Here’s What That Top Sanders Adviser Is Accused Of Doing

A top adviser for Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’s 2016 presidential campaign has been accused of sexual misconduct against a female staffer.

The staffer, Robert Becker, who helped lead Sanders’s campaign in Michigan, New York, California and Iowa as a deputy national field director, has been accused of grabbing a female campaign staffer by her wrists and grabbing her head while kissing and putting his tongue in her mouth, Politico reported Wednesday.

Becker, 50, reportedly did this to the 20-something campaign staffer at a bar in Philadelphia in July 2016.

The woman warned about sexual misconduct on campaigns in a statement to Politico, saying no one should be allowed to run for president until they can guarantee a safe work place.

“Candidates who allow people like Robert Becker to lead their organizations shouldn’t earn the highest office in our government,” she said.

“It just really sucks because no one ever held him accountable and he kept pushing and pushing and seeing how much he could get away with. This can’t happen in 2020. You can’t run for president of the United States unless you acknowledge that every campaign demands a safe work environment for every employee and volunteer,” the woman continued.

This comes after two dozen staffers from Sanders’s presidential campaign wrote a letter, which says there was a “dangerous dynamic” within the campaign in regards to “sexual violence and harassment.” Sanders told reporters on Jan. 3 that he was too busy running his campaign to know about the alleged sexual harassment that took place.

Sanders’s office did not immediately respond to The Daily Caller News Foundation when asked about the allegations.

Donald Trump Rages at ‘Fake News’ After Reporters Leak Details from Off-the-Record Lunch

President Donald Trump expressed frustration Wednesday night after top television news anchors selectively leaked damaging details of comments he made during an off-the-record lunch.

“Gave an OFF THE RECORD luncheon, somewhat of a White House tradition or custom, to network anchors yesterday – and they quickly leaked the contents of the meeting,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “Who would believe how bad it has gotten with the mainstream media, which has gone totally bonkers!”

The New York Times, who was not invited to the lunch held at the White House on Tuesday afternoon, published details of the meeting shortly after the president concluded his Oval Office address.

Two people “briefed on the meeting” revealed that Trump was cynical about whether his planned trip to the border would help shift Democrats towards making a deal.

“It’s not going to change a damn thing, but I’m still doing it,” he said frankly, according to sources.

Wednesday night, Trump was infuriated by the off-the-record betrayal and the ongoing effort by the mainstream media to blame him for the shutdown, despite multiple compromises.

“The Mainstream Media has NEVER been more dishonest than it is now,” he said.

The president referred to the establishment media as the “opposition party,” who was working with Democrats to hurt his presidency.

“NBC and MSNBC are going Crazy. They report stories, purposely, the exact opposite of the facts,” he said. “They are truly the Opposition Party working with the Dems. May even be worse than Fake News CNN, if that is possible!”

Cher Rips Chuck and Nancy over Shutdown: ‘You’re Putting Lives in Danger’

Left-wing pop icon Cher went after Democratic Congressional leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, accusing them of “putting lives in danger” by failing to end the ongoing government shutdown.

In a now-deleted tweet, Cher warned that Democrats are vulnerable to the political fall out over the shutdown, and that their current refusal to negotiate makes them look like “obstructionist swamp scum.”

“DEMS,STOP SHUTDOWN B4 TRUMP DOES,” she wrote. “HELL B HERO & MAKE U LOOK LIKE OBSTRUCTIONIST SWAMP SCUM‼️ “HE HAS NO SCRUPLES.HES PLAYING IT RIIGHT,& UR PLAYING RIGHT IN2 HIS HANDS.HE’LL EAT UR LUNCH & STEAL UR LUNCH ‼️YOU’LL B FKD 6 WAYS 2 SUNDAY.DONT DIE ON THIS HILL.HE STOPS AT NOTHING.”

Cher later said, “FOR trump THIS IS POLITICAL..BUT REAL PPL ARE REALLY SUFFERING ‼️WHERE WAS THE FKNG CRISIS 1 MONTH AGO,1YR AGO⁉️WHERE HAS IT BEEN FOR THE LAST 2 YRS. HAVING SAID THATNANCY YOU ARE A HERO LET HIM HAVE HIS FKNG MONEY‼️PPL WILL STARVELOSE THEIR HOMES, B UNABLE 2 C DRS.”

Cher’s comments come a day after Pelosi and Schumer delivered a rebuttal to President Trump’s address to the nation on the importance of stopping illegal immigration by constructing a border wall, with the pair accusing Trump of “manufacturing a crisis” for political ends.

“President Trump must stop holding the American people hostage, must stop manufacturing a crisis and must reopen the government,” Pelosi said.

Democrat’s refusal to agree a deal with Trump on border security is the reason behind the government shutdown, meaning around 800,000 federal workers are not getting paid, while many essential government departments are not receiving the necessary funding to carry out their activities.

Cher, meanwhile, continues to provide regular Twitter commentary on current political events. On Wednesday, the 72-year-old singer denounced Trump’s address as “bullshit political propaganda,” and claimed she was instead waiting for FBI Special Counsel Robert Mueller to make him “grovel in the dirt.”

“Didn’t Watch trump’s Bullshit Political Propaganda,” she wrote. “I WILL Watch When MUELLER Makes Him Grovel In Dirt Of [Rose] Garden,When He Is Proven 2 Be PAWN Of PUTIN,When GOP Are Shown 2 Be ass Kissing Castrati They Are,When Ppl See Pence 4 Who He Is. A Pitch Man 4 Big TOBACCO,& dark force.”

UK Supreme Court: no obligation to bake cake with pro-sodomy-propaganda

The UK Supreme Court has unanimously decided that the refusal to bake a cake with the message “Support Gay Marriage” on it cannot be qualified as “discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation”.

The judges emphasized the importance of the right to freedom from forced speech, pointing out that “the rights to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, and to freedom of expression … include the right not to be obliged to manifest beliefs one does not hold…”.

This is a spectacular defeat for the sodomy lobby, which has consistently tried to use so-called “anti-discrimination” laws to seek out and harass opponents of their perverse ideology. In the case at hand, the plaintiff, a well-known pro-sodomy activist, made a point of having a cake with his pro-sodomy message baked by a bakery whose owners are known to be devout Christians. But the bakers refused his order not because of who he was, but because of what he ordered.

It is hoped that today’s ruling will set an end to the uncivil and harassing misuse of anti-discrimination laws by LGBT activists.

It is noteworthy, however, that the plaintiffs had all their legal expenses covered by a state-run quango, the UK’s Equality Commission for Northern Ireland, which spent more than £ 250.000 of taxpayers’ money on the case. The defendants, by contrast, had to spend their own money and rely on the support of a donation-funded Christian charity group. It is time now to examine and set an end to this gross misuse of public funds, which is also a clear violation of the Right to a Fair Trial as set out in Article 6 of the European Convention of Human Rights. If Sodo-Activism had to foot its own legal bills, it would probably not be taking place.

Merkel and Macron Pool Defence, Foreign Policy in Prototype ‘Sovereign Europe’

Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron are set to deepen Franco-German ties by signing a “twinning” treaty which has been criticised as an “erosion” of national sovereignty.

The pro-open borders German chancellor and globalist French president are set to formalise their already close co-operation with shared defence, foreign and economic policy, and business regulations in what is seen as a prototype for a “more sovereign, united” Europe, The Times reports.

As European Union member states, the countries have already abandoned many of their sovereign rights by ditching their national currencies for the euro, agreeing to open borders within the bloc, and submitting to European courts as their highest legal arbiter.

The new treaty, styled on the 1963 Élysée Treaty of post-war reconciliation, will also encourage the formation of border town “Eurodistricts” where French and German towns will merge public transport networks and utilities.

The countries also plan to coordinate their positions in Brussels and lobby the United Nations to give Germany its own seat on the Security Council — France holding one of five permanent positions in the influential group.

Late last year, Germany called on France to give up its seat to the EU so the bloc could “speak with one voice” — a request France rejected. Germany began her two-year stint in the Security Council as one of ten non-permanent members in January, with Mrs Merkel telling her country in her New Year’s address that she would keep pushing for “global solutions” to the world’s problems, including mass migration and climate change.

SAUDISRAELIA

made in the UK for (((their))) banking masters

Pelosi to Trump “NO” On $5 Bil. to Keep US Safe, YES on $38 Bil. to Keep Israel Safe!

There you have it Americans, right out of the horses mouth! The safety of the American isn’t a priority, and the walls that US citizens paid for that are almost all the way around Israel are needed for security? Pelosi and Schumer agents for Israel and not politicians for Americans? Their actions in the Senate have to have every American questioning the motive of denying the people safety. If I wasn’t witnessing it myself along with the rest of the world, I would think that I’m watching an extended show of Saturday Night Live!

Can the Senate really understand the mean of them saying “NO” to Americans for $5 billion, and yes for Israel for$38 billion for security. Sounds to me like politicians are selling out the safety of U.S. citizens, putting them 2nd to Israel who with $38 billion for security is 1st when it comes to who gets American tax dollars?

Did Israel buy the USA, or just the Senate?

Who are the politicians that hate the thought of Americans having the same thing as Israel?

Macron Govt: Yellow Vests Have Destroyed 60 Percent of France’s Speed Cameras

Emmanuel Macron’s interior minister has revealed that Yellow Vest protesters have destroyed 60 per cent of France’s speed cameras.

“Nearly 60 per cent of the radars today have been neutralised, attacked, destroyed” by the anti-globalist movement Christophe Castaner railed, disparaging the anti-globalist movement as “imbeciles”.

“I saw on social networks some idiots appear next to burned radars… I do not wish them to face tomorrow the reality of a death on the road,” he seethed, vowing “resolute action” by the Gendarmes — France’s paramilitary police force.

Many Yellow Vests, whose protests grew from an objection to a “green” tax on fuel — now abandoned — which was seen as falling disproportionately on the non-metropolitan working class, see the country’s thousands of speed cameras as part of a “racket” designed to generate extra revenue for the state rather than preserving life, especially since the speed limit was dropped to 50 miles per hour on many roads in 2018.

They did indeed raise over a billion euros in fines in 2017, according to the Court of Auditors, and were expected to raise significantly more in 2019.

Most are disabled with paint, tape, or other coverings rather than by burning, but Castaner is adamant that they are “fools, unconscious, inconsequential, when they think that a trophy, a victory, would be to burn a radar”.

The Macron government is expecting another round of large-scale protests by the Yellow Vests over the coming weekend, with Prime Minister Edouard Philippe confirming 80,000 police and gendarmes will be deployed on Saturday, including 5,000 in the capital of Paris.

“This daily violence which is carried out by these extremists… we fear, we anticipate and we will punish,” Castaner vowed.

Prosecutors Investigate Legality of Dutch Christians Affirming Traditional Marriage

Prosecutors in the Netherlands have opened an investigation to determine whether Christians have violated Dutch law by signing the “Nashville Statement” affirming traditional marriage.

Last week, some 250 Dutch Christian leaders, including the leader of the SGP Christian party, signed the statement after it was translated into Dutch and posted on the internet.

As Breitbart News reported, leading Evangelical Christians published the Nashville Statement in August 2017. The manifesto reaffirmed Christian teaching on God’s creation of human beings as male and female, rejecting attempts to normalize “gender fluidity” based on “autonomous preferences.”

The authors asserted traditional sexual morality based on biblical norms, declaring that the path to full and lasting joy is found by embracing God’s good design for his creatures rather than “the path of shortsighted alternatives that, sooner or later, ruin human life and dishonor God.”

Although the Nashville Statement went no further than to restate what Christians have always believed about marriage and sexual morality, it immediately came under fire from LGBT activists as well as the mainstream media, who portrayed the document as bigoted, prejudiced, and antiquated.

15 Quotes by Silk Road’s Dread Pirate Roberts that Show Why Ideas are So Dangerous to the State

1.) On the Libertarian principles on which Silk Road was founded:

“Silk Road was founded on libertarian principles and continues to be operated on them. It is a great idea and a great practical system…It is not a utopia. It is regulated by market forces, not a central power (even I am subject to market forces by my competition. No one is forced to be here). The same principles that have allowed Silk Road to flourish can and do work anywhere human beings come together. The only difference is that the State is unable to get its thieving murderous mitts on it.” [10/1/2012]

2.) On the War on Drugs and agorism:

“Silk Road has already made an impact on the war on drugs. The effect of the war is to limit people’s access to controlled substances. Silk Road has expanded people’s access. The great thing about agorism is that it is a victory from a thousand battles. Every single transaction that takes place outside the nexus of state control is a victory for those individuals taking part in the transaction. So there are thousands of victories here each week and each one makes a difference, strengthens the agora, and weakens the state.” [9/23/2012]

3.) On fighting state power with ingenuity:

As a community, if we are going to survive, we need to adopt a LONG TERM vision. Getting the most out of this thing before it gets taken down is NOT going to bring us success. In that world, Silk Road will be a shooting star that burns out quickly and dies as little more than a dream, swallowed by the nightmare reality of an ever-expanding, all-powerful global oligarchy. Planning ahead and doing everything we can NOW to prepare for the war to come is the only way we are going to have a shot at this. We are still mostly ignored by our true enemies, but this incubation WILL NOT last forever.

I don’t like writing this kind of stuff publicly because it taunts our enemies and might spur them into action, but I risk it because the context for what we are doing is too often lost in the day to day stuff that happens here and it needs to be put in from time to time. Silk Road NEEDS our support. It needs everything we have. The return on what we put into it will be immeasurable if we can get through the months and years ahead and gain a real foothold on the global stage. HELP ME GET US THERE!!! Do it for me, do it for yourself, do it for your families and friends, and do it for mankind.” [1/11/2012]

4.) On the potential for a state ban on Tor or Bitcoin:

“The state may try to ban our tools, but if we never use them for fear of them being banned, then we have already lost, no? Personally, I don’t think they can be effectively banned at this point. Iran and China, for example, are actively trying and failing.” [9/23/2012]

5.) On the right to self defense:

“We at Silk Road have no moral objection to the sale of small-arm weaponry. We believe that an individual’s ability to defend themselves is a cornerstone of a civil society. Without this, those with weapons with eventually walk all over defenseless individuals. It could be criminals who prey on others, knowing they are helpless. It could be police brutalizing people with no fear of immediate reprisal. And as was seen too many times in the last century, it could be an organized government body committing genocide on an entire unarmed populace. Without the ability to defend them, the rest of your human rights will be eroded and stripped away as well.

That being said, there is no reason we have to force everyone into a one-size-fits-all market where one group has to compromise their beliefs for the benefit of another. That’s the kind of narrow thinking currently used by governments around the world. It’s why we are in this mess in the first place. The majority in many countries feel that drugs and guns should be illegal or heavily regulated, so the minority suffers.” [2/26/2012]

U.S. Water Fluoridation – A Forced Experiment that Needs to End

The United States stands almost entirely alone among developed nations in adding industrial silicofluorides to its drinking water—imposing the community-wide measure without informed consent. Globally, roughly 5% of the population consumes chemically fluoridated water, but more people in the U.S. drink fluoride-adulterated water than in all other countries combined. Within the U.S., just under a third (30%) of local water supplies are not fluoridated; these municipalities have either held the practice at bay since fluoridation’s inception or have won hard-fought battles to halt water fluoridation.

Dozens of studies and reviews—including in top-tier journals such as The Lancet—have shown that fluoride is neurotoxic and lowers children’s IQ.

The fluoride chemicals added to drinking water are unprocessed toxic waste products—captured pollutants from Florida’s phosphate fertilizer industry or unregulated chemical imports from China. The chemicals undergo no purification before being dumped into drinking water and often harbor significant levels of arsenic and other heavy metal contamination; one researcher describes this unavoidable contamination as a “regulatory blind spot that jeopardizes any safe use of fluoride additives.”

Dozens of studies and reviews—including in top-tier journals such as The Lancet—have shown that fluoride is neurotoxic and lowers children’s IQ. Fluoride is also associated with a variety of other health risks in both children and adults. However, U.S. officialdom persists in making hollow claims that water fluoridation is safe and beneficial, choosing to ignore even its own research! A multimillion-dollar longitudinal study published in Environmental Health Perspectivesin September, 2017, for example, was largely funded by the National Institutes of Health and National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences—and the seminal study revealed a strong relationship between fluoride exposure in pregnant women and lowered cognitive function in offspring. Considered in the context of other research, the study’s implications are, according to the nonprofit Fluoride Action Network, “enormous”—“a cannon shot across the bow of the 80 year old practice of artificial fluoridation.”

According to declassified government documents summarized by Project Censored, Manhattan Project scientists discovered early on that fluoride was a leading health hazard to bomb program workers and surrounding communities.

Too much weight for just that being moved I'd say this is how they are also moving kids

The shameful insubordination of John Bolton’

"Don't upstage the boss" is a powerful maxim in Washington, and usually it applies to President Trump's White House. But National Security Adviser John Bolton doesn't seem to have gotten the memo.

"Bolton puts conditions on plan for withdrawal from Syria," reads one recent headline. "Contradicting Trump, Bolton says no withdrawal from Syria until ISIS destroyed, Kurds' safety guaranteed," blares another. "John Bolton says certain conditions must be met before U.S. withdraws from Syria," states a third.

Trump has been talking about U.S. troops leaving Syria for months. "We're coming out of Syria very soon," he said in March. "Let the other people take care of it now — very soon, very soon, we're coming out." By December, he'd lost his patience with those inside the government resistant to the move and abruptly announced a change in policy.

While there are certainly good reasons to proceed more methodically — and with less deference to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan — than Trump's Twitter speed, the exhaustive conditions laid out by Bolton, and perennial hawks like Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), would likely mean no Syria withdrawal at all for the duration of Trump's presidency. On top of that, by slow-walking the withdrawal from Syria, which the president publicly ordered, Bolton appears to be overruling his boss.

If that's the case, Trump may well come to regret his failure to heed another Washington maxim: personnel is policy. Much of his national security team is made up of the same kind of people who made many of the foreign policy decisions he campaigned against in 2016. Putting someone like Bolton in charge of winding down a war is like appointing an open-borders advocate to oversee building the wall.

Russia denies plans to interfere in Israel elections

Russia yesterday categorically denied reports that it plans to intervene and influence the election of any foreign country including the upcoming Israeli general elections.

Russian presidential spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said: “Russia did not intervene, does not interfere, and does not intend to interfere in the elections of any country in the world.”

On Monday, the head of Israel’s Shin Bet security service, Nadav Argaman, warned that a foreign state plans to intervene in the Knesset elections using cyber-technology.

The Shin Bet said Israel has the tools to identify and thwart foreign attempts to influence its elections should they happen.

Human rights defenders to Israel: Stop spraying dangerous herbicides over Gaza Strip

On Monday, human rights organizations Al Mezan Center for Human Rights in Gaza, Gisha – Legal Center for Freedom of Movement, and Adalah - The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel, wrote to Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in his role as Minister of Defense, Military Advocate General Adv. Sharon Afek, and Attorney General Dr. Avichai Mandelblit, with an urgent demand to refrain from conducting further aerial spraying of herbicides inside and near the Gaza Strip, due to the severe damage to crops and the risk to the health of Gaza residents caused by the spraying.

ISTANBUL, Turkey - US diplomats and military officials failed to present any specific details to their Turkish counterparts about Washington's plans to withdraw its forces from northern Syria during National Security Adviser John Bolton's visit to Ankara on Tuesday, Middle East Eye has learned.

Turkish officials had been expecting Bolton and his entourage to bring with them draft plans for the withdrawal of about 2,000 soldiers deployed as part of the US-led campaign against Islamic State (IS) militants following US President Donald Trump's announcement last month of his intention to pull them out of Syria.

But the US delegation instead delivered what Turkish officials described as a "non-paper", an unofficial diplomatic note listing a country's position on certain matters which is open for discussion.

The five-point document proposed a negotiated solution addressing Turkish security concerns about the YPG, the Syrian Kurdish militia which Ankara accuses of links to the banned Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) but which has played a leading role as a US ally in the ground campaign against IS.

It also reiterated that the US withdrawal would be "deliberate and orderly", but US officials did not present any operational information or discuss a timetable or post-pullout planning, a Turkish official told MEE, speaking on condition of anonymity due to government protocol.

Those in attendance with Bolton during the two-hour meeting at the presidential palace included General Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the highest-ranking officer in the US military and the principal military adviser to Trump and senior officials, and James Jeffrey, the US special envoy to the anti-IS coalition.

Turkish officials attending the talks were led by Ibrahim Kalin, the spokesperson for the Turkish presidency.
