           ➜⇢➤How the Trudeau Government White-Washes Saudi Crimes In late, April 2019, the stunned friends and relatives of Abdullah Salman Al Asreeh held a prayer ceremony for the 24-year old man in Toronto. Without a warning by phone-call, they had learned on the evening news that he had been executed by the Saudi government.
He was among 37 men, most belonging to the country’s persecuted Shia minority, killed in one of the biggest executions in recent Saudi history. Al Asreeh, just 20 at the time of his arrest, was a human rights activist and worked on his father’s farm near the town of Awamiyah in Saudi Arabia’s eastern province. “He was a normal person,” his cousin said. “He wanted to build his life, but the government didn’t give him a chance.”  https://ahtribune.com/world/americas/canada/3677-trudeau-government-white-washes-saudi-crimes.html

by John Pilger  I set out at dawn. Her Majesty’s Prison Belmarsh is in the flat hinterland of south east London, a ribbon of walls and wire with no horizon. At what is called the visitors centre, I surrendered my passport, wallet, credit cards, medical cards, money, phone, keys, comb, pen, paper.
I need two pairs of glasses. I had to choose which pair stayed behind. I left my reading glasses. From here on, I couldn’t read, just as Julian couldn’t read for the first few weeks of his incarceration. His glasses were sent to him, but inexplicably took months to arrive.  https://www.counterpunch.org/2019/12/02/visiting-assange-britains-political-prisoner/

           ➜⇢➤WikiLeaks Proved the OPCW Cannot Be Trusted In Syria The “Syrian regime” and chemical weapons has become a constant mantra in the Western World and has become synonymous with the Syrian War since it began in 2011. One of the most famous cases was the April 2018 chemical weapon attack in the Damascene satellite city of Douma that led to the U.S., UK and France conducting airstrikes against Syrian Army positions, despite the lack of evidence that the Syrian government was responsible for the incident.  https://www.fort-russ.com/2019/11/wikileaks-proved-the-opcw-cannot-be-trusted-in-syria/

           ➜⇢➤Libra: Facebook Wants to Control Your Money
Facebook - backed by some of the largest banks and corporations on Earth - seek to create a global digital currency and reassert Western dominion over the global economy.

November 30, 2019
(
Tony Cartalucci - NEO) - Many are probably already familiar with US-based social media giants like Facebook and Twitter carrying out sweeping campaigns of censorship executed in line with US foreign policy objectives.  http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/ New Eastern Outlook itself was deleted off of both networks - just one among many thousands of accounts wiped out in a virtual information war.

Many are also probably aware of how Facebook in particular has trampled the privacy of its users, manipulated users unwittingly through involuntary experiments and controls what many people around the globe see while online - most of the time without users even realizing it.

But imagine instead of just silencing and marginalizing opponents or controlling the information the public has access to and thus manipulating the public itself, Facebook was also able to control the very currency people use in their day to day lives.  Its control over the public, both within the US and beyond, would be unprecedented.

The ability to control both information and money would be a potent tool, enhancing Facebook's already deeply disruptive and abusive behavior as well as the much larger corporate-financier interests Facebook works with and for.

Enter Libra 
Earlier this year Facebook announced its own currency called Libra. It is based on blockchain technology, billed as a "cryptocurrency," and aims at dominating banking and commerce in much the same way Facebook already dominates social media, messaging and in general,
the flow of information.

There is no doubt that the same cooperation Facebook has provided the US government and the interests that dominate its domestic and foreign policy in controlling and manipulating public opinion around the globe, stifling alternative news, and even overthrowing governments will translate directly into a similar pattern of abuse through its desired control over a global currency.

Unlike hard currency which does not know in whose hands it resides and thus is unable to discriminate against its holder - Libra not only allows Facebook to know whose hands its currency is in, but how much of it is there, what it is being used for - in addition to all other personal information Facebook has access to. This not only allows for an obvious extension of Facebook's already well-known politically-motivated abuses - but also gives Facebook the ability to target users who may pose as competition to Facebook or one of the many larger corporations Facebook works with or for.

Imagine Facebook carrying out a similar campaign to their current one of political censorship, but with an added monetary component - not only removing the West's political opponents from their social media network and effectively silencing them, but crippling them financially by freezing their accounts and denying them access to the massive digital global economy they hope to create and control through Libra.

While US politicians and regulators appear to be obstructing Libra's rollout, the truth is that many of the very interests these politicians and regulators work for are directly involved in Libra's creation.

While Lebanon’s protests remain focused on the economy and widespread corruption, Washington is increasingly determined to exploit the movement as a geopolitical weapon in the region. By Rania Khalek

This is part one of a two-part report. Lebanon erupted in massive protests this October. The demonstrations transcended sect and class, and quickly spread across the country. The movement was spurred by the levying of regressive taxes and the persistence of a corrupt neoliberal order that has mismanaged the economy and hollowed out the public sector while enriching a handful of elites amid a looming economic collapse


           ➜⇢➤It Is True That Corruption Caused The 737 MAX Accidents. But It Was Not Foreign. The New York Times blamed the foreign pilots for the crashes of two 737 MAX airplanes. It now takes a shot at the foreign airlines:
The lead investigator of Lion Air’s first fatal accident, in which 25 people died in 2004 after a pilot overshot the runway, was Ertata Lananggalih. Four years after releasing a report that critics said underplayed Lion Air’s culpability in the crash, he joined the company, working his way up to managing director. He left Lion Air in 2012 and returned to government work as a senior air safety investigator.
“Indonesia is a corrupt country, but the corruption at Lion is the biggest of all,” said Wicaksono Budiarto, a former pilot for the airline who joined 17 others, including Mr. Eki and Mr. Kalebos, in a lawsuit against the company for dismissing them after they refused to fly in what they considered unsafe flying conditions.

           ➜⇢➤"Seventeen charges concocted against Julian Assange by the United States are based on the 1917 Espionage Act, which was and remains a political law enacted to chase up conscientious objectors during the First World War. That’s not in dispute. It is an explicitly political law and it’s here used against a journalist and a publisher, not only to silence him but to intimidate the media and all truth tellers right across the world.
The indictment against Julian refers to co-conspirators. Well, the Guardian is a co-conspirator. The Daily Telegraph is a co-conspirator, the New York Times is a co-conspirator, El País in Spain is a co-conspirator, Der Spiegel in Germany is a co-conspirator, The Sydney Morning Herald in Australia is a co-conspirator. All of them—and many others—published the leaked evidence of US war crimes of which WikiLeaks was the source. The US may have come for only one of them, Julian Assange, but the warning could not be clearer. They can come for the rest if free journalists, free people, and I dare say, free governments allow this outrage to continue against justice and democracy.
If Labour should win the election, or form a coalition based on a hung parliament, the new government can act decisively. When the extradition trial is over, Diane Abbott, if she is to be home secretary, will have the power to grant asylum to Julian Assange, and this she must do, or whoever is the Labour home secretary, and this Jeremy Corbyn must do in the name of justice, of free speech, of free journalism and freedom itself."

           ➜⇢➤Many Evangelicals Excuse Anything Trump Does — Because He’s the “Chosen One” Energy Secretary Rick Perry is the latest Trump official or acolyte to prostrate himself, using cult-like terms, before the president. Trump is, in Perry’s worldview, a man tagged by God to occupy his leadership role. In this, the energy secretary is echoing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo – who has averred Trump may have been chosen by God to defend Israel against Iran – and Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Trump’s erstwhile press secretary, who also argued that God had played a role in Trump’s election. Perry is also mimicking ex-Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, who has argued that Trump is the most “godly, Biblical president” in her lifetime. He is following in the footsteps of Jerry Falwell Jr.’s Liberty University, which produced a movie in 2018 titled The Trump Prophecy that likewise argued President Trump had been chosen by God. https://truthout.org/articles/many-evangelicals-excuse-anything-trump-does-because-hes-the-chosen-one/

           ➜⇢➤Syria is not the Only Country where the US is Occupying Oil Fields
Since occupying Syria in 2013, the US has been pumping out the bowels of the earth in Syria in violation of all international laws
The US has had a military presence in the Middle East for years now. However, the fight against global terrorism is only a smokescreen, veiling what the US truly aims to achieve with its military presence in the region. What the Americans have always really been interested in is oil, and not only the profit they can make from selling it; oil can also be used to control politics in a regional military dictatorship. http://tiis.org/index.php/2019/12/01/syria-is-not-the-only-country-where-the-us-is-occupying-oil-fields/

           ➜⇢➤It’s Our Choice: Medicare for All, or Endless War?
If you’re following the presidential race, you’ve heard plenty of sniping about Medicare for All and whether we can afford it. But when it comes to endless war or endless profits for Pentagon contractors, we’re told we simply must afford it — no questions asked.
According to one study, even if universal health insurance didn’t bring health care prices down — an unlikely worst-case scenario — we’d need an extra $300 billion a year beyond our current spending to provide full insurance for everyone.
Where can we find it? In a giant pot of money that’s already rampant with waste and abuse: the Pentagon. https://truthout.org/articles/its-our-choice-medicare-for-all-or-endless-war/

           ➜⇢➤Land of the free? Voter suppression in the US
With next year’s presidential election drawing ever closer, and impeachment proceedings going forward against current leader Donald Trump, American citizens are facing existential questions about the nature of their democracy.
The United States was founded on the promise of revolution – a war was fought and won on the rejection of the Old World’s hierarchical societies, and the glass ceilings that inhibited the freedom and progression of the non-ruling classes. America’s demonstrative patriotism is, in fact, often startling to outsiders. The pledge of allegiance, national anthem, and ubiquity of the flag build up a sense of American exceptionalism at the heart of public culture, fundamentally woven into daily life, and rooted in the belief that the nation offers a unique promise unmatched in other countries. Yet, the very ideals of democratic inclusion on which the United States celebrates itself is increasingly at risk. Despite the promise that all men are created equal – affirmed in the Declaration of Independence as the nation wrote itself into being – political maneuverings over the past few years reflect the sustained challenges of transforming that equality from an aspiration into a reality.  http://tiis.org/index.php/2019/11/28/land-of-the-free-voter-surpression-in-the-us/

           ➜⇢➤Andrew Yang: You should get a check in the mail from Facebook, Amazon, Google for your data  Andrew Yang, the Democratic presidential candidate best known for his $1,000-per-month universal basic income platform, says tech giants should pay people for use of their data.
“Right now, our data is worth more than oil,” Yang said during Tuesday’s Democratic debate in Ohio. “How many of you remember getting your data check in the mail? It got lost. It went to FacebookAmazonGoogle.”
Yang offered the idea as a way to handle such tech megaliths instead of just breaking them up (which some, like Democratic candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren, have advocated). https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/17/andrew-yang-facebook-amazon-google-should-pay-for-users-data.html?__source=facebook%7Cmain&fbclid=IwAR02SIJ0-sbxggoCw9Xdm685LtGltDVb1WKd4J4AZ2G7nE3CvSWEIeaHEFw

           ➜⇢➤I talked to everybody I could in Syria, That's how you find out the truth
By Robert Fisk
December 01, 2019 "Information Clearing House" -   I’ve spent months these past eight years in Syria’s amputated cities. They are a scar on all our lives – the Russians, the Syrians, the armed Islamists, the western powers that spent more time trying to destroy Syria than the Syrian regime.
The bodies buried deep within these heaps of concrete, the survivors, and those invisibly but forever mentally wounded have paid the price of our military cruelty and indifference. Many of those who fled these gaunt cities are now in Europe – or at the bottom of the Mediterranean. And we don’t even know – or care? – about the statistics. Did 350,000 die here? Or 450,000? Or 500,000? These figures have all been used, a careless 150,000 separating the first from the last.
Beirut, Mostar, Sarajevo, Aleppo, Homs, and now Mosul and Raqqa – we are forced to ask ourselves if these sepulchral ruins are something we have come to regard as natural, something we accept or have accepted for hundreds of years: that destruction is a natural part of history.   http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/52642.htm





Henry Kissinger Gets It… US ‘Exceptionalism’ Is Over Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger made prudent remarks recently when he said the United States is no longer a uni-power and that it must recognize the reality of China as an equal rival.
The furor over a new law passed by the US this week regarding Hong Kong and undermining Beijing’s authority underlines Kissinger’s warning.
If the US cannot find some modus vivendi with China, then the outcome could be a catastrophic conflict worst than any previous world war, he admonished.
Speaking publicly in New York on November 14, the veteran diplomat urged the US and China to resolve their ongoing economic tensions cooperatively and mutually, adding: “It is no longer possible to think that one side can dominate the other.”
A key remark made by Kissinger was the following: “So those countries that used to be exceptional and used to be unique, have to get used to the fact that they have a rival.” https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2019/11/29/henry-kissinger-gets-it-us-exceptionalism-is-over/?fbclid=IwAR2AHa-alEtuE5gnVoNDxeDrQDJ207lLnjEiNf84HeVtl4Fs4RGkghcWXvw

It is no accident that inconvenient facts like this are glossed over by the corporate media cartel, as they leverage these opportunities to push their political agendas.
"Kitchen porter Mohammed risked his life to bring down the London Bridge attacker during his lunch break and returned to wash dishes at the restaurant nearby not telling anyone.
Mohammed's boss told Sun Online: "He was there. He held the guy down. "He was on his break He came back afterwards to work "He didn't say anything. He went back to work. He was washing dishes"
Another one who dived in to help was Polish-born chef, Luckasz, who ripped a 5ft whale tusk off a wall and charged at the knifeman. He was being treated at the hospital for stab wounds after the attack.




           ➜⇢➤Allan McDigger‎ to Free Julian Assange
New interview with Prof. Nils Melzer (United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment) hits the nail on the head. And I have to agree that 12 months ago we wouldn't not have thought it possible for a British government to act in this manner.
Julian Assange has never been charged with any crime, yet he is held in a maximum security prison, he is held in solitary confinement for 23 hours / day, there is no personal association allowed in his 1 hour recreation period, he is not allowed to have a TV / newspaper / books / computer / incoming letters.
Obstructions are placed in the way of his access to his legal team and personal visitors who book appointments and when they turn up are told there is no record of the booking and they are turned away.
Although his health is now known to be suffering he has no access to an outside independent doctor or health care visitor.
The head judge is now know to have links to the British MOD and government via her husbands business interests.
As I said before - the Stasi would be proud of these actions.

When Europe was in the "Dark Ages", Islam was at the forefront of science.
Regrettably, military might and colonialism prevailed and Islam was introduced as an enemy, 'backward'. Undoubtedly, some Moslems have been instrumental in promoting the inaccurate narrative but reality is otherwise.
These Muslim scholars wrote about evolution 900 years before Darwin was born
The theory goes back centuries.

When you hear about the theory of evolution, English scientist Charles Darwin is probably the first person who comes to mind. 'Muslim scholar', on the other hand, is the last thing to be associated with the theory. 
But, Muslim scholars beg to differ. 
While Darwin is greatly credited for putting forth the theory of evolution in the 18th century, Muslim scholars had suggested similar theories centuries before Darwin was born. 
The famous theory discusses the process through which new species arise and are perpetuated by natural selection. Originally, the theory is said to date back to ancient cultures, as it was discussed by Greek philosophers, who are believed to have borrowed their evolutionary ideas from the Hindus.

Attorneys for former Jeffrey Epstein partner, friend, and alleged madam Ghislaine Maxwell on Monday asked a federal judge in Manhattan to grant them a one-month extension as they prepare to argue that the court should not unseal the identities of non-party persons whose names appear in documents ordered released by the court.
U.S. District Judge Loretta A. Preska in August ordered the release of more than 2,000 previously sealed documents from alleged Epstein victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s now-settled 2015 defamation lawsuit against Maxwell. Attorneys for Giuffre have fought to have the court unseal significantly more pages, while Maxwell’s lawyers have tried to stymie the release of new information, arguing that documents do not fall under the definition of “judicial documents,” and therefore are not subject to the presumption of access by the public. https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/ghislaine-maxwell-requests-extension-to-argue-against-unsealing-of-names-identified-in-epstein-docs/?fbclid=IwAR20QlmKbD-nGXbea3y0yFdcEEUqFEJ-PhxBTAagl7Fl0lmtXczvqNeTeZM

In interview with UK’s Sunday Times, outgoing army commander Gadi Eisenkot says Israel gave opposition groups light arms ‘for self-defense’  Outgoing IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot this weekend acknowledged for the first time that Israel had indeed provided weaponry to Syrian rebel groups in the Golan Heights during the country’s seven-year civil war.
Until Sunday, Israel would say officially only that it had given humanitarian aid to Syrian opposition groups across the border, while denying or refusing to comment on reports that it had supplied them with arms as well.
In an interview in the British Sunday Times, before ending his tenure as chief of staff this week, Eisenkot said that Israel had indeed provided light weapons to the rebel groups along the border, saying it was “for self-defense.” https://www.timesofisrael.com/idf-chief-acknowledges-long-claimed-weapons-supply-to-syrian-rebels/?fbclid=IwAR2JlIrc0-gHEJ7HOr_o0IxMarkFWRjHgO0ITSoXRTc5pBVPFKYQkK2_y4c
