INVERSION OF ROLES: After taking control of America, Marxists are using the power of the White House to spread Marxism around the World. Biden is using Ukraine as an excuse to remove Putin and return Marxism to Russia

"Night falls in America: STALINISM in Biden's America. Persecution of Kulaks (white middle class small businesses), brainwashing in schools, Political repressions through widespread intimidation, arrests, and imprisonment"

"Instead of stopping the Iranian nuclear program the Biden regime is using the power of the White House to promote socialist dictatorships and subvert democracy in Brazil, Venezuela and Israel"

Biden is also using Ukraine as an excuse to remove Putin and return Marxism to Russia.

There is an INVERSION OF ROLES: After taking control of America, Marxists are using the power of the White House to spread Marxism around the World.

The Russian takeover of the Donbass does not threaten the rest of the World, but Iranian nuclear weapons would threaten Israel's existence (and also the existence of other countries in the region). The Biden regime proudly finances Ukranian attacks against Russia, why is bombing Iranian nuclear installation "war mongering" but war against Russia is not?

Here are 5 posts from the last few days that give some context about the situation in Ukraine:

1. On October 5, 2022 Jim Hoft reported in the Gateway Pundit "On Monday Elon Musk posted a tweet urging a de-escalation in the Russian War on Ukraine. Musk fears any escalation would cause great harm to not only Ukraine but the world...In response to Musk’s question Ukrainian Prime Minister Zelensky posted his own poll suggesting Elon Musk is pro-Russia because he wants peace in the region."

2. On October 8, 2022 the Gateway Pundit reported "Ukraine poked the Russian bear today by blowing up the Kerch Bridge from Russia to Crimea. According to Russian news agency Tass, an explosion occurred in early Saturday morning on one of Putin’s prestige projects and Europe’s longest bridge, which connects Russia and Crimea."

3. On October 4, 2022 the NY Post reported "A Columbia University professor has accused the US of sabotaging the Nord Stream pipeline in the Baltic Sea, prompting television hosts to pull the plug on his TV interview. Speaking with Bloomberg, Professor Jeffrey Sachs floated the idea the pipeline, which has been at the center of a global “whodunit” saga in recent weeks, was struck by the US — not Vladimir Putin’s forces — as a means of doing damage to Russia beyond economic sanctions. The Nord Stream pipelines deliver natural gas directly from Russia to Germany and are essential to keeping the lights on across swaths of Europe."

4. On October 2, 2022 the Gateway Pundit reported "Former adviser to the Defense secretary Doug MacGregor weighed in on what will happen if Ukraine joins NATO, as well as who was behind the destruction of the pipelines in Europe. After sharing that what Senator Graham and Joe Biden shared on Russia and the pipelines that were sabotaged, Col. Douglas MacGregor shared the following: The destruction of the pipeline was clearly not executed by Russia. No one believes that. In fact the Germam population is being polled and overwhelmingly is opposed to the notion of any war with Russia and dismisses out of hand the notion that the Russians are responsible for the pipeline. MacGregor mentioned three things that appear clear: Putin has decided that no one in Washington will negotiate with him and he knows that Washington is ultimately in control. As a result, Putin will escalate actions in Ukraine. MacGregor mentioned that Russia has always been outnumbered in Ukraine since the war began and this may soon change. He may settle this dispute in Ukraine on terms that we may not like. But other than Poland no one is interested in going to war with Russia. If we persist on this design, we will see NATO dissolve and fragment… …No one wants to go to war with Russia, other than the Poles and a few people in Washington D.C."

7. On March 21, 2022 the Gateway Pundit reported "Joe Biden on Monday joined the Business Roundtable’s CEO quarterly meeting to discuss the United States’ response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine...Then Joey said the quiet part out loud and blurted out Klaus Schwab’s plan. “There’s going to be a new world order out there and we have to lead it,” Biden said disclosing information he received from a top military official in a “secure meeting.”

The Globalists do not want to let the conflict in Ukraine end quickly, it is part of their strategy to "drag this on" as much as possible despite the destruction of Ukraine and suffering of the Ukrainian people.

The war in Ukraine is just another step towards Klaus Schwab's "New Word Order". Zelensky is defending the interests of the Globalists, not the Ukrainians'.

It seems the war in Ukraine is just another step towards Klaus Schwab's "New Word Order". The video below shows an interview in fox News in which retired US Colonel Douglas Macgregor affirms that Zelensky" is not a hero but a puppet" who "is putting huge chunks of his population at unnecessary risk" and who "is being told to hang on and to drag this out which is tragic for the people who have to live through this". (PLEASE SEE THE VIDEO BELOW).

"Appearing on Fox Business with Stuart Varney (Friday, 3/4/22), retired Colonel Douglas Macgregor provides a different take on the current situation in Ukraine; a perspective that takes a more pragmatic and realistic view of the situation. Putin appears to be successfully working through a methodical plan and strategy, despite western media trying to frame the great Ukrainian resistance effort. As noted by Macgregor, there’s nothing heroic about Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sticking to the pro-NATO position within the Ukraine Russia conflict. A more pragmatic approach would be for Ukraine to declare itself neutral in the geopolitical contest between NATO and Russia thereby diffusing the issue that motivates the conflict. WATCH..."

J.D. Rucker wrote "Volodymyr Zelensky has been documented as a puppet of George Soros. He has worked closely over the years with Klaus Schwab, a graduate of his school of thought with the likes of Emmanuel Macron and Justin Trudeau. Those two blaring klaxons alone should make you question the mainstream narrative that this charismatic and defiant leader is operating from an agenda that benefits his people or the world. He is a pawn who has been set up as a messiah. There's only one Messiah, and Zelenksy isn't Him."

Colonel Mcgregor says Zelensky is a puppet who is being told "to hang on and to drag this out". Why?

1. The Ukrainian war is being exploited to promote the World Economic Forum “Build Back Better”. On March 13, 2022 the Conservative Tree House reported "We could all see this coming. The Ukraine-Russia conflict creates the opportunity for the Build Back Better initiatives to get triggered. None of this is happening organically. All of this is opportunism based on a series of dominos purposefully triggered. Three government solutions to rising oil prices surface simultaneously in an effort to exploit the crisis they created. Keep in mind, this economic roadmap was strategically outlined in the World Economic Forum “Build Back Better” initiative, and that was built upon the economic ‘climate change‘ opportunity that COVID-19 created. The U.S. version of BBB was called the Green New Deal. First, Biden proposes to trigger a useful “Climate Change Emergency” (LINK). Second, the International Energy Agency proposes a “Ten Point Plan” to change energy use in the modern society (LINK). Third, comes AOC and Bernie Sanders with the “Executive Action Agenda” (LINK)."

2. For the globalists the main goal is not to end the war but to remove Putin from power. The plan of the globalists was to lure Russia into Ukraine to weaken Putin.

3. The longer the war lasts, the more also American centrality in global financial system is undermined because the economic war being created when America and the EU impose sanctions on Russia is instrumental to the globalists whose main goal is to end the centrality of the US Dollar in the Global Financial System and transfer power to the IMF. Russia is being forced out of the American led global financial system towards the orbit of China creating an alternative financial system and weakening American dominance.

The globalists knew that pushing Ukraine to join NATO would cause a war, they were looking for ways to destroy the centrality of the US dollar in the Global Financial System.

The globalists behind Biden's regime are working not to let the war in Ukraine end to weaken both Putin and the American economy, two important objectives in their strategy to implement the "Great Reset".

The globalists knew that pushing Ukraine to join NATO would cause a Russian reaction and lead to a war, they were looking for ways to destroy the centrality of the US dollar in the Global Financial System to give more power to the IMF, now the IMF is confirming that the war is causing just that.

On April 1st, 2022 the Epoch Times reported " IMF Warns That Sanctions Against Russia Threaten to Weaken the Dominance of the Dollar...The recent financial sanctions imposed on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine are threatening to weaken the dominance of the U.S. petrodollar as the world currency, said First Deputy Managing Director Gita Gopinath of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to The Financial Times. The sanctions may result in a more fragmented international monetary system, warned Gopinath."

Part 2 - For the globalists the main goal is not to end the war but to remove Putin from power. The plan of the globalists was to lure Russia into Ukraine to weaken Putin.

On March 13, 2022 Alexander Maistrovoy wrote in Arutz 7 "It's hard to grasp, but the weak and clumsy Biden administration has completely outplayed Putin - until recently a brilliant grandmaster of geopolitical games. The White House dragged Russia into the "Ukrainian swamp", putting it on the brink of self-destruction. For a long time, Putin has urged the West to distance itself from primordial Russian "spheres of influence." The republics of the former USSR, and especially Ukraine, according to Kremlin, had to maintain "positive neutrality" exactly as Finland had done. Up until now, the status quo persisted... The current administration has chosen a completely different path - openly teasing and provoking the bear...the hints to a possible membership of Ukraine in NATO, the massive shipment of heavy weapons to Kiev, and promises to stand up for the Ukrainians have led to the most dramatic consequences... The Russian invasion became inevitable. Russia entered its own "Afghan bog". It is a war that is easy to go into and extremely difficult to get out of. The Kremlin believed that its intervention in Afghanistan would be limited to a few months and to the swift actions of special forces. The reality turned out to be much more ominous. The war in Ukraine is likely to be a much harder test for Russia than the Afghan campaign was for the USSR...If the US ever wanted to destroy Russia as a state, they are now closer to it more than ever, and this is a brilliant tactical success...However, this tactical success can also have extremely negative consequences...there is the moral side of the issue. Like a pawn in a chess game, Washington, in fact, has sacrificed a large and friendly European country. Ukraine is turning into Libya: it will be destroyed and torn to pieces, and millions of people will become refugees or die. Such a terrible human tragedy does not pay off any geopolitical goals, and the cynicism with which it was done, completely undermines the authority and trust in America, which is already greatly undermined..." https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/323829

On March 1, 2022 MSNBC published an interview with Hilary Clinton in which she called for Putin to be removed from power "Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton...calls upon Putin's aides to put a stop to him before he brings any more harm to the Russian people." (watch the video below) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05YXmRXNDIk

On March 11, 2022 George Soros wrote in Project Syndicate "...We can only hope that Putin and Xi will be removed from power before they can destroy our civilization." https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/putin-ukraine-world-war-3-risk-by-george-soros-2022-03

Globalists want Putin removed from power, that is why Zelensky according to Colonel Douglas Macgregor "is being told to hang on and to drag this out". Zelensky is being told do drag the war as much as possible (while thousands of Ukranians are being killed) to destabilize Putin and lead to his destruction. Those who call others "warmongers" when they suggest attacking Iranian nuclear installations are the most fervent advocates against asking Zelensky to accept Putin's conditions and end the Ukranian war.

To origins of the current war can be traced back to the Maidan Revolution in 2013. On February 20, 2022 Euronews reported about the Maidan Revolution "Thousands of people in Ukraine turned out on Sunday to mark the date on which, eight years ago, over 100 people were killed during mass protests that ousted the country's Russia-friendly president...The unrest began in November 2013 following the Ukrainian government's decision to suspend preparations for an association treaty with the European Union and to seek closer economic relations with Russia. After the fall of the Yanukovych government, Russia annexed Crimea and and supported rebels in Ukraine's east..."

On February 4, 2022 Olga Tanas and Dina Khrennikova wrote in Bloomberg "Russia forged new long-term supply deals with China as the Kremlin aims to strengthen ties with the Asian nation amid souring relations with the West. Energy giants Gazprom PJSC and Rosneft PJSC signed agreements with the world’s largest energy consumer as President Vladimir Putin met his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in Beijing ahead of the Winter Olympics. The two leaders are drawing their nations closer together, united by political, military and economic frictions with Europe and the U.S.

"...Russia’s relationships with western nations have deteriorated significantly in the past year over concerns Moscow may attack neighboring Ukraine, something the Kremlin insists it isn’t planning to do. The U.S. and Europe are considering sanctioning Russian energy and metals projects, as well as banks and sovereign debt, if there’s a military invasion... The standoff over Ukraine has amplified concerns that Russian gas deliveries could be cut off, either intentionally or as a result of military attacks. While the Kremlin has repeatedly said it will remain a reliable energy supplier, tensions with the West are motivating an acceleration of the country’s so-called “Pivot to Asia” that began last decade with multi-billion oil and gas supply deals.

On March 3, 2022 Legal Insurrection reported "The top Chinese banking regulator announced on Wednesday that China won’t recognize the sanctions imposed on Russia by U.S. President Joe Biden and other Western countries. Despite sweeping trade and financial sanctions imposed in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine by the U.S., European Union, Britain, and Japan, “China won’t join such sanctions” and “will continue to maintain normal economic, trade and financial exchanges with” Russia, declared Guo Shuqing, head of the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission."

On March 1, 2022 David Brancaccio, Erika Soderstrom, and Alex Schroeder wrote in the Marketplace "The U.S. and Europe moved to cut many Russian banks out of the SWIFT global payments system. These sanctions make it harder for Russia to participate in and profit from the global economy. But they also could push Russia away from transactions made in U.S. dollars and toward alternative payment systems, including China’s. This is something the U.S. and its allies are worried about. For more on this, “Marketplace Morning Report’s” David Brancaccio spoke with China correspondent Jennifer Pak. Below is an edited transcript of their conversation..."

On March 2, 2022 Larry Johnson explained in the Gateway Pundit that SWIFT sanctions could be circumvented using China's CIPS "CIPS in particular represents a direct threat to SWIFT dominance. A recent discussion at MarketPlace between David Brancaccio and Jennifer Pak is illuminating:

David Brancaccio: So, an alternative for Russia could be China’s cross-border interbank payment system, acronym CIPS. How’s it work?

Jennifer Pak: China’s CIPS connects participants inside China and out to do trade or investment and then settle those transactions using Chinese yuan.

Brancaccio: Well, How’s it different from the SWIFT global payment system based in Belgium?

Pak: Right. So let’s say I sell you shoes. Normally, you’d reach for PayPal to settle it in U.S. dollars, right? But instead, you could use CIPS and pay me in Chinese yuan. And it actually relies heavily on SWIFT’s financial messaging services. So you can think of CIPS as being enhanced by SWIFT rather than working against it.

Brancaccio: But in the Chinese currency, that’s key. What kinds of institutions currently use the CIPS system? Pak: Well, CIPS says they have roughly 1,100 financial institutions from 100 countries, but they’re mostly from China, and also ones from Russia."

Many analysts believe CIPS is still a pipe dream. I do not. I think the West has underestimated the seriousness of this threat. Consider this fact–of the top ten banks in the world, the top four are all based in China..."

Putin learned sanctions could be circumvented by working with Iran and China. A Russia-Iran-China alliance was forged during the Obama years. When Obama decided to withdraw US troops from Iraq, Russia and Iran saw a golden opportunity to extend their influence over the region. On May 9,2020 the National Interest reported "...The current Russian-Iranian alliance in Syria owes its existence to General Qassem Soleimani, the chief of the Revolutionary Guards’ specialized Qods Force and the regime’s strategic mastermind who was recently killed by U.S. forces. Soleimani’s clandestine visit to Moscow in July 2015 initiated the military partnership to save Assad. Soleimani’s proxy army of foreign Shi’a militias were able to defeat the Syrian insurgents only with the help of the Russian air force..." https://nationalinterest.org/blog/middle-east-watch/putin-betting-losing-horse-iran-152811

On May 8, 2020 Arthur Cyr reported in the Chicago Tribune "...The decision by Vladimir Putin in 2015 to intervene with military forces in the brutal combat in Syria has led to sustained expansion of Russia’s influence in the region. Along with other benefits, Moscow has greatly increased the staying power of the regime of Syria President Bashar al-Assad.Historically, Moscow has been preoccupied with secure national borders, especially in Eastern Europe, and generally abstained from sending military forces long distances. This traditional approach has now been abandoned by Putin, who has become a daring military gambler in the Mideast..." https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/lake-county-news-sun/opinion/ct-lns-cyr-russia-mideast-st-0509-20200508-2fmpic4fdvcv7h4yjseoyh3kzm-story.html

When President Trump withdrew from the nuclear deal with Iran, Russia and China moved to invest in Iran to fill the void left by the fleeing European companies. When America increased sanctions on Iran, Russia and China understood the importance of weakening the US dollar to protect their investments. In April 2020 United Against Nuclear Iran reported "In 2018, the Trump administration withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal and initiated a “maximum pressure” campaign against the Iranian regime, re-imposing and expanding sanctions targeting Iran’s energy, shipping, insurance, and banking sectors. Major European businesses responded by fleeing Iran. However, the Trump administration’s efforts to isolate Iran still face a major hurdle as China and Russia move to fill the void and capitalize on the business opportunities emerging in the wake of European withdrawals...

...In the immediate aftermath of the U.S. withdrawal from the JCPOA, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif embarked on a diplomatic tour to mitigate against the impact of the coming re-imposition of sanctions. His first two stops were Beijing and Moscow. In the months that followed, China and Russia have sought to expand their trade and investment with Iran and assess the feasibility of taking over outright European deals that had collapsed. While the re-imposition of sanctions has created an opportunity for both countries, it has complicated matters as well. Ultimately, the extent to which China and Russia can benefit from the current state of play comes down to their ability to limit sanctions exposure and create workarounds such as mechanisms to conduct transactions in local, non-dollar currencies. In September 2018, Foreign Minister Zarif outlined Iran’s plan to avoid using the U.S. dollar: “You can use your own currency. Sell stuff in your own currency, buy stuff in the other country’s currency, and at the end of a specific period, balance it out in a non-dollar currency.

...In spite of all the obstacles posed by the Trump administration’s maximum pressure campaign, China and Russia remain committed to seeing through their business dealings with Iran. The halting progress in execution indicates that the sanctions are working as intended. In Beijing’s and Moscow’s view, however, the economic and geopolitical benefits outweigh the potential risks of sanctions exposure and they continue to seek ways to move forward and find alternative approaches that would undermine America and the dollar’s centrality to the global economic system..." https://www.unitedagainstnucleariran.com/russia-iran-china-axis

The centrality of the US dollar in the global financial system is also a challenge to revive Obama's Nuclear Deal with Iran. Although Obama tried to lift sanctions on Iran many are still in place due to the centrality of the US dollar in the Global Financial System. On November 10, 2021 David Rosenberg reported in Haaretz "Tehran is counting on China as a counterbalance to the U.S. and Europe. "China is a major factor in why Iran feels it can overcome the sanctions campaign," says Alex Vatanka, director of the Iran program at the Middle East Institute in Washington. "A report by Kevjn Lim of the business-intelligence firm IHS Markit on Iran-China relations, published by Tel Aviv University's Institute for National Security Studies, estimates that in 2019 China took half of Iranian oil exports directly, and probably even more via third countries. Yet China is buying Iranian oil at huge discounts, since the Iranians are so desperate to sell it. "Even after sanctions were lifted following the 2015 nuclear agreement, Chinese companies were having trouble doing business in Iran. One reason is because Tehran has yet to sign the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) conventions on money laundering and terror finance, which effectively blocks doing business in dollars or using U.S. clearinghouses. Unless Iran does so, Chinese banks can't provide the finance and transaction services needed for long-term business agreements." https://www.haaretz.com/middle-east-news/iran/.premium-iran-wants-to-closer-ties-to-china-here-s-why-beijing-isn-t-so-enthusiastic-1.10368695

The Biden (Obama) administration wants to end the centrality of the US dollar to enable the revival of the nuclear deal with Iran and to follow the globalist's agenda that want to transfer power to an international organization like the IMF. On March 2, 2022 the Gateway Pundit published the video below "Fed Chief Powell Says It’s Possible to Have More than One Reserve Currency in the World – Diminishing America’s Financial Dominance" https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/03/fed-chief-powell-says-possible-one-reserve-currency-world-diminishing-uss-dominance-world/

The centrality of the US Dollar in the Global Financial System is an obstacle for Iranian access to the Global Financial System "Even after sanctions were lifted following the 2015 nuclear agreement" and that is why the US during the Obama administration did not use its influence over the IMF board of directors to prevent China and the IMF to start replacing the US Dollar by including the Chinese Renminbi to Special Drawing Rights (SDR) Basket.

The IMF's SDRs replacement of the centrality of the USD will undermine America's sovereignty and democracy. Because of the Great Reset's deficit the IMF's board of directors now has more power and influence in America.

In the last decades the IMF imposed "structural reform" programs in over 90 countries. In the 1990s the IMF's intervention led to the economic meltdown of, for example, Mexico, Brazil and Russia. It seems that now because of Obama and Biden America will become more vulnerable to its policies.

On September 30, 2016, during the Obama administration, the IMF News reported it added the Chinese Renminbi to Special Drawing Rights Basket. At the time the US had the most voting power and influence in the IMF board of directors and could have prevented this.

"Renminbi joins U.S. dollar, euro, yen, and British pound in SDR basket. Change represents important milestone for IMF, SDR, and China....

Effective October 1, the IMF is adding the Chinese renminbi (RMB) to the basket of currencies that make up the Special Drawing Right, or SDR.

The SDR is an international reserve asset created by the IMF in 1969 to supplement its member countries’ official reserves.

The IMF’s Executive Board agreed to change the SDR’s basket currency composition in November 2015, and the decision now enters into force after a period of transition.

The RMB joins the SDR basket in addition to the previously included four currencies—the U.S. dollar, the euro, the Japanese yen, and the British pound (see chart).

In an interview, Siddharth Tiwari (Director of the IMF’s Strategy, Policy, and Review Department) and Andrew Tweedie (Director of the IMF’s Finance Department) explain why this change took place and its significance for the IMF, the SDR, China, and the international monetary system as a whole.

IMF News: What does the renminbi’s inclusion in the SDR basket mean for China?

Tiwari : The RMB’s inclusion is an important milestone in the integration of the Chinese economy into the global financial system. The IMF’s determination that the RMB is freely usable reflects China’s expanding role in global trade and the substantial increase in the international use and trading of the renminbi..."

By including the Chinese renminbi in the SDR the IMF crowned it a reserve currency at the same level that the dollar, euro, yen, and British pound. China's push to expand this "New World Money Order" threatens the centrality of the US Dollar. A currency controlled by an international institution like the IMF is key for the globalists.

On June 1, 2021 the Guardian reported Obama said "Biden ‘finishing the job’ my administration started"

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jun/01/biden-obama-finishing-the-job-president

On July 13, 2021 Biden supported a controversial plan to strengthen the International Monetary Fund and replace the centrality of the US Dollar. Alex Newman wrote in the Epoch Times "...The Biden administration-backed International Monetary Fund (IMF) proposal to issue an unprecedented $650 billion U.S. dollars’ worth of new “Special Drawing Rights” (SDRs) this year alone will also help re-shape the international financial system. That is more than twice the total amount of SDRs created by the IMF throughout its entire history...The unprecedented new issuance, which has the support of both Beijing and Washington, will contribute to sidelining the U.S. dollar’s role as the global reserve currency, analysts warned. The Chinese Communist Party is expected to be a leading beneficiary...if the dollar were to lose its status to the SDR, the demand for dollars around the world would plummet. The resulting collapse in purchasing power would create an enormous crisis as Americans’ ability to purchase goods and services from abroad was decimated..."

Jim Rickards in his book "The Death of Money" warned about a plot to replace the USD. Please see in the video below an interview with Jim Rickards made in 2014 where he clearly explains what is being implemented today:

Excerpts "When people talk about deficits, my first question is, ‘Okay, tell me what the deficit is, but also tell me what the growth rate is?’ And if you're growing faster than you're borrowing then the debt is sustainable. But if the debt is going up faster than the economy is growing, then the debt is not sustainable. So, where are we today? We are at a point where even today those debts are still going up faster than growth, and that's a recipe for disaster." "Sovereign banks bailed out the private sector, but now who's going to bail out the sovereign banks because they are all—all the major ones anyway—are insolvent now on a mark-to-market basis. Well, who's bigger than a sovereign? The answer is the IMF.” “This is not well-known, but they have a printing press also. They can print special drawing rights, so-called SDRs... Just to be clear: you and I are not going to have SDRs in our pockets. We're still going to have US dollars. It's just that the dollar will cease to function as the global reserve currency. It will be a local currency...but it won't be used for the big things [like]…the price of oil, settlement and balance of payments between countries, rescue packages, and probably the financial statements of the hundred largest corporations, [which]…in the not too distant future they'll actually publish their financial results in SDRs, not in dollars.” "People use the phrase, 'kick the can down the road'...it's more like kicking the can upstairs. So, going from private debt to a sovereign debt bailout was kicking the can upstairs… And the reason is that the central banks used up their balance sheets—used up their capacity—to deal with the last crisis. So they've got nothing left to deal with in the next crisis. So it's going to have to go to the IMF because they have the only clean balance sheet left in the world. Just to give you a concrete example...the Fed is leveraged 80:1. The IMF is only leveraged 3:1, which means the IMF has a lot of headroom to issue new money and they will. I've had private conversations with senior people and they say they will do it." "What the elites are trying to do is they're trying to engineer higher inflation to make the debt worth less, keep a lid on interest rates so they don't get even more debt on top of it, rob the savers—do it through the banking the system—and print the money at the IMF. So it's all kind of one big thing that they're working on...again this is not speculation, there are academic papers on financial repression, there are official IMF papers on SDRs. This is all out there and I've researched it and put it all in The Death of Money." (Please see the full video below)

This weakens the US Dollar in addition to the deficit created by the "Great Reset" as explained below...

Biden also claims he cannot lift restrictions on domestic energy production including the Keystone pipeline because of the need to fight Climate Change. The Biden Regime claims they embraced the "Great Reset" to fight Climate Change but it will have little actual environmental benefit. On January 21, 2021 the Epoch Times reported "Rejoining the Paris climate agreement as it stands now will have devastating economic consequences for the United States, with little actual environmental benefit, according to experts...

“Because there is really no teeth to the Paris climate accord, developing countries are getting a free pass in terms of their emissions...It’s likely that the Paris climate accord is not going to reach its intended goal.”

"...Anthony Watts, senior research fellow of environment and climate at The Heartland Institute, said according to their analysis, the agreement would cost the United States “about 2.7 million jobs by 2025 due to scaling back parts of industries. Now that would have been about 440,000 manufacturing jobs that we would have lost.”

Colonel Mcgregor says Zelensky is a puppet who is being told "to hang on and to drag this out". Why?

1. The Ukrainian war is being exploited to promote the World Economic Forum “Build Back Better”.

2. For the globalists the main goal is not to end the war but to remove Putin from power.

3. The longer the war lasts, the more also American centrality in global financial system is undermined

Ukrainians are being sacrificed to implement the globalist's agenda. The war in Ukraine is just another step towards Klaus Schwab's "New Word Order".

Biden's nuclear deal with Iran will provide billions to Iranian repopulation of Syria with Shia Muslims. While Biden opposes the Russian occupation of parts of Ukraine it finances the Iranian takeover of Lebanon, Syria and Iraq to help implement Obama's vision that "Iran Will Be And Should Be A Regional Power” by Ezequiel Doiny

On December 12, 2018 Tom Rogan wrote in the Washington Examiner "Seven more Islamic State mass graves have been found in Syria...the vast majority would also have been moderate Sunni Muslims, belonging to the Sunni Arab tribes of Deir ez-Zor province. So if these victims were Sunni Muslims, just like the ISIS fighters, why did the latter so brutally kill them?"

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/isis-spends-most-of-its-time-and-energy-killing-muslims-and-its-mass-graves-tell-the-tale

"So if these victims were Sunni Muslims, just like the ISIS fighters, why did the latter so brutally kill them?" On July 2016 Brad Macdonald explained in the Trumpet “Like most national, tribal, ethical and religious relationships in the Middle East, the relationship between the Islamic State and Iran is not nearly as simple as many Westerners believe. Evidence proves that Iran and the Islamic State are not archenemies. In fact, Iran is at least partly responsible for the Islamic State’s creation!

In his article “Iran Is More Deeply Tied to isis Than You Think,” Benjamin Decker provides a detailed explanation of Iran’s involvement in the creation of various Sunni terrorist organizations, including al Qaeda. He writes, “As the West continues to partner with Iran to ‘degrade and ultimately destroy’ the Islamic State, it is worth remembering that one of Iran’s highest-ranking terrorists was instrumental in founding al Qaeda, and that the split between Shia and Sunni jihadis is murky at best” (Tower, December 2015).

The Islamic State emerged from al Qaeda in Iraq. Decker continues: “Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and the rise of al Qaeda in Iraq (aqi), the predecessor to the Islamic State, has been well documented; comparably little attention has been given to the group’s global reach. While the Islamic State was born out of Osama bin Laden’s global jihad against the West, many overlook the importance of another player in the equation—Iran.

“This may seem surprising given that Iran, the stalwart of the Shia Crescent, is currently embroiled in a regional war against the Islamic State in both Syria and Iraq. However, Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security, described as one of the ‘largest and most dynamic intelligence agencies in the Middle East’ by the Pentagon’s Irregular Warfare Support Program, has, over the past 20 years, provided financial, material, technological and other support services to aqi.” This article explains in detail Iran’s history with grooming and training key Sunni terrorist leaders, and financing and supplying weapons and tactical assistance to various Sunni terrorist groups.

An article from the Tower’s website, “The Different Stages of Iranian Support for isis,” said, “Recent reports that Iran is supporting isis through its funding of Hamas are a reminder that the Islamic Republic has long backed the powerful jihadist group and its predecessors in a variety of ways.

“In 2012, the United States Treasury Department exposed the extensive financial ties between Iran and al Qaeda in Iraq” (Dec. 16, 2015). Again, this is the terrorist organization that evolved into the Islamic State!

Iran wasn’t alone in supporting and exploiting the rise of al Qaeda in Iraq. For example, a Pentagon report from August 2012 revealed that the U.S. and the West once supported the “major forces driving the insurgency in Syria” in an effort to dislodge the regime of President Bashar Assad. That opposition movement comprised of “the Salafist [movement], the Muslim Brotherhood and aqi.” But that support was brief and much less than Iran’s.

Another fact that has been exaggerated in the West is the belief that Iran and Syria are sincerely trying to destroy the Islamic State. TheTower.org explained: “As aqi metastasized across Iraq and eventually became isis, Iran sought to position itself at the vanguard of the global effort against the terrorist group, claiming that it was dedicated to beating back its advances. However, Iran and its clients, particularly Syrian President Bashar Assad, have notably failed to dislodge isis from any significant territory” (ibid).

The article quotes Michael Pregent, a former U.S. military intelligence officer, warning in May 2015 that Iran and its allies were not actively engaged in sustained battles with the Islamic State. In fact, he stated, “Iran needs the threat of isis and Sunni jihadist groups to stay in Syria and Iraq in order to become further entrenched in Damascus and Baghdad.” In June 2015, U.S. officials “charged Syria with bombing non-Islamist rebels ‘in support of [the Islamic State’s] advance on Aleppo,’ which helped the terror group push back Syrian opposition factions that were fighting Assad’s regime.”

The April 2016 issue of Tablet contains an interesting interview with Abdul Halim Khaddam, former vice president and foreign minster of Syria. This man understands the way the Middle East works, and he understands Iran. In the interview, Khaddam revealed that Syrian strongman Assad—who is an Iranian proxy—and the Islamic State are partners. “It is a fact that Daesh [an Arabic name for the Islamic State] does not fight the government in Damascus any more than the government in Damascus bombs Daesh,” he explained. “Although it is Sunni, Daesh’s roots are in Iran—in a group of ex-officers of the Iraqi Presidential Guard that went to train in Iran and that Iran accepted because they thought they could use them later—and their calculation proved right. Daesh worked with Iran and with the Syrian regime to get the Americans away from Iraq. The idea was to then share the territory between Sunnis and Shiites, an arrangement which the Iranians refused once the U.S. were gone.”

It is dangerous to assume that Iran thinks the same way about the Islamic State as the West does. The truth is, the Islamic State’s rise has proven enormously beneficial to Iran, the world’s top state sponsor of terrorism.

First, the Islamic State has distracted America and the West from Iran’s terrorist activities. Thanks to isis, Iran is no longer on the West’s radar as a terrorist threat.

Second, the presence of the Islamic State gives Iran an opportunity to refashion its reputation in the region and globally. Iran’s leaders regularly deliver statements promising to defend the persecuted from the Islamic State and bring stability to Iraq and the broader region. Tehran is exploiting the violence and instability created by isis to cast itself as the region’s savior. Iran’s leaders have promised to rescue Iraq, as well as Christians and other isis victims. Compared to the Islamic State, Iran seems like a picture of moderation.

Third, the rise of the Islamic State has provided Iran with the opportunity to bolster its military presence in Iraq and Syria. Iranian officials, soldiers and intelligence personnel are setting up offices all over Iraq and Syria, all under the guise of fighting the Islamic State. If isis’s presence in Iraq and Syria diminishes, keep an eye on who fills the power vacuum. It will be Iran!

When you consider all the facts, it is obvious that the rise of the Islamic State has actually made Iran stronger. The isis threat has boosted Iran’s reputation in the international community. It has enabled Iran to extract concessions from America and the West. It has improved Iran’s strategic position in Iraq and throughout the Middle East. And it is undermining, both directly and indirectly, Iran’s primary opponents in the region, most notably Saudi Arabia...” https://www.thetrumpet.com/13883-the-islamic-state-and-iran-on-the-same-team

The article above documents that for a period of time "Iran and its clients, particularly Syrian President Bashar Assad, have notably failed to dislodge isis from any significant territory”. For a period of time Iran and Assad did not attack ISIS to give them time to mass murder all the Sunni Muslims that opposed the Assad regime, after they had done Assad's dirty work ISIS had fulfilled its role and could disappear. When the press found the mass graves ISIS could be conveniently blamed and Iran and Assad could avoid war crime charges.

Iran used ISIS to ethnically cleanse the Sunni Muslim population from parts of Siria and then replaced it with Shia Muslims. On January 13, 2017 the Guardian reported "...For the first time since the conflict broke out, people are starting to return. But the people settling in are not the same as those who fled during the past six years. The new arrivals have a different allegiance and faith to the predominantly Sunni Muslim families who once lived there. They are, according to those who have sent them, the vanguard of a move to repopulate the area with Shia Muslims not just from elsewhere in Syria, but also from Lebanon and Iraq. The population swaps are central to a plan to make demographic changes to parts of Syria, realigning the country into zones of influence that backers of Bashar al-Assad, led by Iran, can directly control and use to advance broader interests..." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jan/13/irans-syria-project-pushing-population-shifts-to-increase-influence

On November 1, 2017 Robert Windrem wrote in NBC news "A document seized the night Navy SEALs killed Osama Bin Laden suggests that Al Qaeda and Iran had a relationship more complicated and intimate than previously known — one that included threats and kidnappings, but also occasional cooperation.

The document was among a massive trove of material released Wednesday by the CIA following a request by the Long War Journal, a website that has chronicled the U.S. war on terrorism..." https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/newly-released-bin-laden-document-describes-iran-al-qaeda-link-n816681

Obama had access to this information while he embraced Iran as an ally in the war against ISIS but admitting it would have prevented him from withdrawing US troops from Irak, signing the nuclear deal with Iran, embracing the view that Iran "should be a regional power". In an interview recorded in the video below on Jul 14, 2015 Obama said : “Iran Will Be And Should Be A Regional Power” (see video below) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR2qhNvdT1Q

Biden's nuclear deal with Iran will provide billions to Iranian repopulation of Syria with Shia Muslims.

International Revolution

The contradiction between the revolutionary peoples of Asia, Africa and
Latin America and the imperialists headed by the United States is the
principal contradiction in the contemporary world.

The development of this contradiction is promoting the struggle of the people of the whole
world against US imperialism and its lackeys.

Lin Piao, Long Live the Victory of People’s War!

People ask, what is the nature of the revolution that we talk about-Who will it be made by, and for, and what are its goals and strategy-The overriding consideration in answering these questions is that the main struggle going on in the world today is between US imperialism and the national liberation struggles against it.

This is essential in defining political matters in the whole world: because it is by far the most powerful, every other empire and petty dictator is in the long run dependent on US imperialism, which has unified, allied with, and defended all of the reactionary forces of the whole world. Thus, in considering every other force or phenomenon, from Soviet imperialism or Israeli imperialism to “workers struggle” in France or Czechoslovakia, we determine who are our friends and who are our enemies according to whether they help US imperialism or fight to defeat it.

So the very first question people in this country must ask in considering the question of revolution is where they stand in relation to the United States as an oppressor nation, and where they stand in relation to the masses of people throughout the world whom US imperialism is oppressing. The primary task of revolutionary struggle is to solve this principal contradiction on the side of the people of the world. It is the oppressed peoples of the world who have created the wealth of this empire and it is to them that it belongs; the goal of the revolutionary struggle must be the control and use of this wealth in the interests of the oppressed peoples of the world.

It is in this context that we must examine the revolutionary struggles in the United States. We are within the heartland of a worldwide monster, a country so rich from its worldwide plunder that even the crumbs doled out to the enslaved masses within its borders provide for material existence very much above the conditions of the masses of people of the world.

The US empire, as a worldwide system, channels wealth, based upon the labor and resources of the rest of the world, into the United States. The relative affluence existing in the United States is directly dependent upon the labor and natural resources of the Vietnamese, the Angolans, the Bolivians and the rest of the peoples of the Third World.

All of the United Airlines Astrojets, all of the Holiday Inns, all of Hertz’s automobiles, your television set, car and wardrobe already belong, to a large degree to the people of the rest of the world. Therefore, any conception of “socialist revolution” simply in terms of the working people of the United States, failing to recognize the full scope of interests of the most oppressed peoples of the world, is a conception of a fight for a particular privileged interest, and is a very dangerous ideology.

Common Core ‘architect’ David Coleman’s history with Bill Ayers and Barack Obama
BY DANETTE CLARK
NOVEMBER 27, 2013

CHICAGO – Referred to as ‘Common Core lead standards authors’ by the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), David Coleman and Jason Zimba are just two in a long list of Common Core creators whose academic roots are with the education-for-a-revolution machine borne by Annenberg Institute, Carnegie Corporation, Bill Gates, et al.

Today, Coleman and Zimba are head of Student Achievement Partners, an organization that played a leading role in developing the standards and actively supports districts and states in implementing them.

Prior to Student Achievement Partners, Coleman and Zimba were co-founders of the Grow Network (now owned by McGraw-Hill Company). Grow Network began as a pilot program in New York in 2000. Less than a year later, the Chicago Public Education Fund began negotiating a contract with Grow Network on behalf of Chicago Public Schools.

The Chicago Public Education Fund (‘The Fund’) was created in 1998 by the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) board of directors, which included Barack Obama as board chairman and communist Bill Ayers, as co-chair.

President Obama’s recently appointed Commerce Secretary, Penny Pritzker, was one of twelve founding board members appointed to The Fund.

Obama himself worked with The Fund for the next several years as a leadership council member, alongside Bill Ayers’ father, Thomas Ayers, and brother, John Ayers.

From Catalyst Chicago, March 2000:
“The Chicago Annenberg Challenge will close up shop in June 2001, but its efforts to improve public education will live on through a new community foundation…the Chicago Public Education Fund…”

The Fund existed and still exists to carry on the work of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge — that work being the expansion of Theodore Sizer’s Coalition of Essential Schools, the reform movement that now (even absent Common Core) indoctrinates students in several states and districts nationwide with a Marxist-Communist political, moral and social ideology.

In 2001, shortly after Arne Duncan began his stint as CEO of Chicago Public Schools (CPS), David Coleman’s newly formed Grow Network solidified its $2.2 million contract with CPS to provide the district with data driven student performance reports for the 2002-2003 school year.

In CPS’s 2002 Education Plan, which introduced Grow Network as a new initiative, President Obama is listed as a member of the district’s planning and development advisory committee. The report also names John Ayers and Communist-Maoist Mike Klonsky of Bill Ayers’ Small Schools Workshop as participants in CPS’s education plan discussion groups.

In 2004, Coleman and Zimba sold Grow Network to McGraw Hill, which continues its lucrative partnership with CPS today. In fact, two former Grow Network members now work for the Chicago Public Education Fund — one of them as its managing director.

The fact that Grow Network has history with the Ayers/Obama/Annenberg led Chicago school system, and was recruited by the Ayers/Obama/Annenberg created Chicago Public Education Fund, doesn’t necessarily implicate David Coleman and Jason Zimba as supporters of Chicago’s radically progressive style of education. However, given Coleman’s progressive upbringing and the fact that CPS paid more than $2 million to bring his untested and unproven program to the district, it does seem likely that Coleman and Zimba had prior connections to the Chicago ed machine.

Fast forward to today and we see each of these players still working to expand the Annenberg/Coalition of Essential Schools (CES) reform model, a model whose teaching strategies, lesson plans, and curriculum resources are identical to those now being used with Common Core.

Communist, domestic terrorist, and creator of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, Bill Ayers, continues to speak on behalf of the Annenberg/CES reform effort and provides professional development to teachers and principals from CES schools and districts.

From the White House, Obama and Duncan promote, by name, Bill Ayers’ Small Schools Workshop and the Coalition of Essential Schools while funneling billions to states that have adopted Common Core.

Carnegie Corporation, which has continued to support Annenberg/CES reform over the years, now also provides heavy funding to the Council of Chief State School Officers for the creation and implementation of Common Core.

The Alliance of Youth Movement in 2008
There is a government document from 2008 that outlines how the U.S. trained the youth throughout the world how to revolt using social media. They teamed with the radical news media of the Middle East and in our country.

Special Briefing To Announce the Alliance of Youth Movement
James K. Glassman, Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs
Jared Cohen, Policy Planning Staff
Washington, DC
November 24, 2008

MR. MCCORMACK: See, Jim, they heard that you were out here, so they decided to come into the briefing. (Laughter.)

I want to turn the briefing over for a bit to Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, and then Jared Cohen, who’s from our Policy Planning Staff, to talk a little bit about a really exciting and innovative program that the State Department is working on with various partners out in the private sector. It’s called the Alliance of Youth Movement. It’s a meeting that’s going to be held in New York City from December 3rd to the 5th, and it’s working with youth to help combat extremism and to use new trends in social networking, as well as the technical aspects of social networking, to help various groups come together to combat extremism.

And it’s really part of – this is, I would say, part of an overall effort here at the State Department to really better use technology, better use various applications of those technology, including social networking and social media to better communicate with the rest of the world and to do our job.

You’re well aware of what we’re doing in terms of the briefing room here, Briefing 2.0, Facebook, our blog, and a lot of other efforts that we’ll talk about after this. I won’t bore you with all those right now.

I’d like to turn it over to Jim and Jared. They’re going to be able to take your questions. And once they’ve completed and you have finished up your questions, I’ll come back to answer any other questions about news of the day.

So let me turn it over to Jim and Jared.

UNDER SECRETARY GLASSMAN: Thanks, Sean. About six weeks ago, I traveled to Colombia at the suggestion of my colleague Jared Cohen, to meet with some young people who last year started a movement on Facebook. And it was actually started by a 33-year-old unemployed computer technician named Oscar Morales who was, just like so many other Colombians, fed up with what the FARC, the violent extremist organization that’s been around since 1964, was doing to his country.

He had no help from the government or no knowledge by the Colombian Government that he was going to do this, certainly no involvement by the U.S. Government either. He started a group on Facebook which mushroomed into a membership of over 400,000 people. And at the same time, some of the members suggested let’s have a march, let’s build a global movement, and that’s what happened.

In February, this movement, the No Mas FARC, No More FARC Movement, which transformed itself into the Million Voices Against the FARC movement, put a million people into the streets in Bogotá, another 11 million into the streets in 190 cities around the world.

So I wanted to talk to Oscar and really get an idea of how this happened and see whether there were applications in other parts of the world. And as a result of those conversations and the work that Jared has done, between December 3rd and December 5th, that is to say next week, a conference is being held in New York City at the Columbia University Law School that will bring together 17 organizations around the world that currently have an online presence similar to the Million Voices Against the FARC Movement, but usually at a much lower level – 17 of these organizations, bringing them together with private sector partners, including Facebook, Google, MTV, AT&T, Howcast, Access 360 Media – and I may be forgetting some, and Jared will remind me. Columbia University is also – the Columbia University Law School is also a partner.

And the idea is put all these people together, share best practices, produce a manual that will be accessible online and in print to any group that wants to build a youth empowerment organization to push back against violence and oppression around the world.

Also, a foundation will be created called the Alliance of Youth Movements. And a hub, an electronic hub, again, anyone will have access to it around the world. Now, this conference – the entire conference will be streamed by MTV and by Howcast. We are – we at the State Department are one partner. In fact, we take a back seat to what the private sector is doing, which is just fabulous. But we’re happy to have gotten this thing started, at any rate.

Some of these groups are anti-violence, in the sense of anti-crime. Some of them have a more direct anti-violent extremist cast to what they do. They’re from South Africa, from the UK, from the Middle East. We’re also bringing in seven groups of observers from countries – organizations that do not have a major online presence, from Iraq, Afghanistan. There will be participation from Cuba by — not personal attendants, correct?

Hillary Clinton Sponsored Secretive Arab Spring Program with Google

Hillary Clinton Sponsored Secretive Arab Spring Program with Google, In-Q-Tel and New America Foundation to Destabilize Middle East 51
by Patrick Howley

A Big Government Brietbart Investigation Google’s Commotion and Serval software along with Google backdoors were given out to Middle East refugees but they were used, not to help, but to hinder. Eric Schmidt Co-manages and funds In-Q-Tel and New America Foundation. All these efforts were directed by Hillary Clinton in the State Department. This created ISIS.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. State Department under the leadership of Secretary Hillary Clinton continued a program to embolden foreign, revolutionary, social media activists to agitate for regime change in various parts of the world. The program arguably had major, detrimental consequences for the trajectory of the Middle East. Recent leaks show a memo that top Clinton aide Huma Abedin sent to her boss stating, “I’m giving you credit for inspiring the ‘peaceful’ protests,” with regard to Egypt, with quotation marks around the word “peaceful.”

The United States government is believed to have utilized a program called the Alliance of Youth Movements Summit, co-founded by a close Hillary Clinton adviser, to provide networking opportunities for an activist plotting to overthrow Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak several years before the “Arab Spring” protests that led to widespread regime change in the Middle East. Through the Alliance of Youth Movements Summit, the U.S. learned that the Muslim Brotherhood was supportive of a plan to overthrow Mubarak. The U.S.-supported Muslim Brotherhood later briefly ruled Egypt after Mubarak’s ouster.

PRE-CLINTON
On November 18, 2008, two weeks after Barack Obama was elected U.S. president, the U.S. State Department announced the first Alliance of Youth Movements Summit at Columbia Law School in New York City. A permanent group called the Alliance of Youth Movements (AYM) was developed by Summit leaders after the first Summit convened.

Bush State Department official Jared Cohen, listed as the “international press contact” for the Summit, described some goals of the conference before it convened in December. Dr. Oz Hassan of the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom describes the Summit as the “brainchild” of Mr. Cohen. He was reportedly a co-founder of the Alliance of Youth Movements, the organization that grew out of the Summit.

Cohen, who advised former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and then served as a close adviser to Hillary Clinton, is perhaps indicative of the overlap between the Bush and Clinton foreign policy establishment. He serves as an adjunct senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, one of the key institutions that sustains globalism and neoconservatism in both the Democrat and Republican parties.

Cohen said of the 2008 Summit: We are seeing movements across the world use a diverse set of technologies. The simplest is Television, where we are seeing groups that have the means put their videos and images on screen in the form of commercials. But we are seeing a lot of activities using mobile phones and the Internet.

With mobile phones, there is a tactic called “smart mobbing,” where mobile phones are used to assemble young people around a cause. On the Internet, we are seeing online social networks like Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, and Orkut serve as important forums for young people to assemble together, build a cause, a mission, and organize events.

According to confidential dispatches from the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, the U.S. government enabled an anti-Mubarak, Egyptian activist to attend the Summit, introduced him to U.S. government officials, and kept in contact with him after he returned to Egypt. The activist stressed to the U.S. that the Muslim Brotherhood was interested in removing Mubarak from power.

Leaked John Kerry audio: White House wanted ISIS to rise in Syria
Investigations into Obama era crimes have been stifled by the Mueller Investigation,,, We have catching up to do...

South Front reports:
On Wednesday, Wikileaks released new evidence of US President-elect Donald Trump’s assertion that Barack Obama was the founder of ISIS – a leaked audio of US Secretary of State John Kerry’s meeting with members of the Syrian opposition at the Dutch Mission of the UN on September 22. The audio also is an evidence of the fact that mainstream media colluded with the Obama’s administration in order to push the narrative for regime change in Syria, hiding the truth about arming and funding ISIS by the US, as it exposed a 35 minute conversation that was omitted by CNN.

Kerry admits that the primary goal of the Obama’s administration in Syria was regime change and the removal of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, as well as that Washington didn’t calculate that Assad would turn to Russia for help.

In order to achieve this goal, the White House allowed the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group to rise. The Obama’s administration hoped that growing power of the IS in Syria would force Assad to search for a diplomatic solution on US terms, forcing him to cede power. In its turn, in order to achieve these two goals, Washington intentionally armed members of the terrorist group and even attacked a Syrian government military convoy, trying to stop a strategic attack on the IS, killing 80 Syrian soldiers.

“And we know that this was growing, we were watching, we saw that DAESH [the IS] was growing in strength, and we thought Assad was threatened,” Kerry said during the meeting.

“(We) thought, however,” he continued to say, “We could probably manage that Assad might then negotiate, but instead of negotiating he got Putin to support him.”

“I lost the argument for use of force in Syria,” Kerry concluded.

According to Wikileaks, “the audio gives a glimpse into what goes on outside official meetings. Note that it represents the US narrative and not necessarily the entire true narrative.”

Earlier the audio was published by the New York Times and CNN, however, the both outlets chose only some its part, reporting on certain aspects, and omitted the most damning comments made by Kerry. In fact, they tried to hide the statements that would allow public to understand what has actually taken place in Syria.

The full audio has never been published by the New York Times; the outlet released only selected snippets. CNN deleted the audio at all, explaining this with the request of some of the participants out of concern for their personal safety.

March 5, 1965

http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,839291,00.html
Malcolm X had been a pimp, a cocaine addict and a thief. He was an unashamed demagogue. His gospel was hatred: “Your little babies will get polio!” he cried to the “white devils.” His creed was violence: “If ballots won’t work, bullets will.”

Yet even before his bullet-ripped body went to its grave, Malcolm X was being sanctified. Negro leaders called him “brilliant,” said he had recently “moderated” his views, blamed his assassination on “the white power structure” or, in the case of Martin Luther King, on a “society sick enough to express dissent with murder.” Malcolm’s death, they agreed, was a setback to the civil rights movement.

Alias John Doe. In fact, Malcolm X —in life and in death—was a disaster to the civil rights movement.

Malcolm’s murder, almost certainly at the hands of the Black Muslims from whom he had defected, came on a bright Sunday afternoon in full view of 400 Negroes in the Audubon Ballroom, a seedy two-story building on Manhattan’s upper Broadway. Characteristically, he had kept his followers waiting for nearly an hour while he lingered over tea and a banana split at a nearby Harlem restaurant.

Entering the auditorium at last, Malcolm cried “As-salaam alaikum [Peace be unto you].” The audience replied in unison: “Wa-alaikum salaam [And unto you be peace].” Suddenly a disturbance broke out several rows back. “Get your hand off my pockets!” a man shouted. “Don’t be messing with my pockets!” At the distraction, Malcolm raised his hands. “Now brothers!” he cried, “Be cool, don’t get excited . . .”

As he spoke, three men rushed down the aisle toward him. Eight feet away, they opened fire. One Negro with a double-barreled sawed-off shotgun blasted Malcolm at point-blank range. “There was what sounded like an explosion,” said a dazed woman. “I looked at Malcolm, and there was blood running out of his goatee.” Men and women threw themselves to the floor as the gunmen squeezed off at least a score of shots. Thirteen shotgun pellets tore into Malcolm’s chest and heart; several slugs from .45-and .38-cal. pistols shattered his thighs and legs. A woman screamed: “Oh, black folks, black folks, why you got to kill each other?”

The man with the shotgun was hit in the left leg by a bullet from the pistol of a Malcolm X bodyguard. Crippled, he was caught by Malcolm X’s furious followers, knocked down, kicked and stomped on. Cops rescued him, took him to a hospital, and charged him with homicide. He was Thomas Hagan, alias Talmadge Hayer, a New Jersey thug with a dreary police record.

Minutes after the shooting, Malcolm’s body was lifted from the stage, placed on a rolling bed that had been wheeled over from the nearby Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, and rushed to an emergency operating room. A team of doctors laid open his chest, tried to revive him via open-heart massage. But Malcolm X was dead. Because he had not yet been formally identified, he was at first entered on hospital records as John Doe.

“That White Rapist.” The man who lived as Malcolm X and died as John Doe was born Malcolm Little, in Omaha on May 19, 1925. His father was a Baptist preacher and an enthusiast for Black Nationalist Marcus Garvey’s “Back to Africa” movement. The family moved to Lansing, Mich., where, Malcolm claimed, white racists set fire to his parents’ home in 1929. Two years later, when Malcolm was six, his father was run over by a streetcar, his body cut almost in half. Police called it an accident, but Malcolm insisted that his father had been bludgeoned by whites and placed across the tracks. Soon afterward his mother was committed to a mental asylum in Michigan.

In his youth, Malcolm prided himself on his reddish hair and light skin, an inheritance from his maternal grandfather, a white man. Years later he wrote in his autobiography: “I was for years insane enough to feel that it was some kind of status symbol to be light-complexioned. Now I hate every drop of that white rapist’s blood that is in me.”

He quit school after the eighth grade, eventually made his way to New York. Nicknamed “Big Red,” he was a gangling zoot-suiter who fancied yellow-toed shoes and straightened his hair with lye in a scalp-searing process called “conking.” He worked briefly as a waiter at Small’s Paradise, still one of Harlem’s top nightspots. But an honest dollar was not for Malcolm Little. He was caught pimping on the side and fired. He thereupon turned himself into a full-time hustler whose specialties were fixing up white men with Negro whores and Negro men with white whores. He peddled marijuana, became a cocaine addict and, to satisfy his $20-a-day craving, took to burglary. In 1946 he wound up with a ten-year prison sentence in Boston.

Bleached-Out. At the gloomy state prison in Charlestown, Malcolm copied a dictionary from A to Z. He wanted to improve his vocabulary, and he did. He was to become a spellbinding speaker.

More important, he learned in prison about the Black Muslims, an extremist sect founded in Detroit in 1930 by a shadowy peddler named W. D. Fard, and ruled since Fard’s mysterious disappearance in 1934 by Elijah Muhammad. The Muslims offered Malcolm what Marcus Garvey had offered his father—and then some. They had caparisoned their movement with the trappings of religion, along with a mythology holding that the first human beings were Negroes. Other races—red, yellow and white—resulted only after a wicked and long-lived scientist named Yacub succeeded over many generations of genetic experiments in achieving a “bleached-out white race of people.”

Paroled in 1952 after serving six years, Malcolm Little became Malcolm X,* loudly acclaimed the Muslims’ professed prohibitions against tobacco, alcohol and pre-or extra-marital sex. He shrugged off his sordid past on the ground that “it was all done when I was part of the white man’s Christian world.” In 1958, he married a Muslim Sister named Betty Shabazz before a justice of the peace in Michigan. “An old hunchbacked white devil performed the wedding,” Malcolm said later, “and all of the witnesses were devils.” At the time of Malcolm’s death, Betty was pregnant and the mother of four children: Daughter Attilah, named after the Hun; Daughter Quiblah, after Kublai Khan; Daughter Ilyasah, Arabic for Elijah; and Daughter Lamum-bah, named after the Congo’s wild-eyed Patrice Lumumba.

Savage Speaker. Malcolm soon proved one of Elijah Muhammad’s best recruiters—in an organization that, then and now, desperately needed recruits. The Black Muslims had received little public notice until the civil rights movement and its street demonstrations catapulted them into the news. Today, Black Muslims claim up to 250,000 members. A much more accurate estimate would accord the group 2,000 in New York, 500 in Chicago, 350 in Los Angeles, 230 in Detroit, 220 in Washington, 150 in both St. Louis and San Francisco, 100 in Kansas City, under 100 in each of 70 other cities, including Atlanta, New Orleans, Memphis and Jacksonville. Still, it is a nice racket for Elijah, son of a Georgia sharecropper. He socks each member for $8.30 in dues a week, requires each to sell (or pay for) as many as 200 copies of the 200 Muslim newspaper every two weeks, saddles everybody with an additional $125 assessment for Savior’s Day, Feb. 26.

Malcolm was also a savage speaker. After the 1962 plane crash in France that killed 121 whites from Georgia, he rose before a Los Angeles audience and said: “I would like to announce a very beautiful thing that has happened. I got a wire from God today. He really answered our prayers over in France. He dropped an airplane out of the sky with over 120 white people on it because the Muslims believe in an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. We will continue to pray and we hope that every day another plane falls out of the sky.”

The Comeuppance. In demand as a speaker, not just among Negroes but before white civic groups and on college campuses, Malcolm gained in popularity and became a threat to Elijah Muhammad’s leadership of the Black Muslims.

All Elijah wanted was a chance to give Malcolm his comeuppance—and in 1963 Malcolm offered him the opportunity. After President Kennedy’s assassination, Malcolm publicly called the murder a case of “the chickens coming home to roost.” Cried he: “Being an old farm boy myself, chickens coming home to roost never did make me sad; they’ve always made me glad.”

This was outrageous enough for Elijah to suspend Malcolm from the Black Muslim movement. Malcolm quit for keeps, soon had formed his own white-hating Organization of Afro-American Unity, and urged Negroes to form rifle clubs.

Malcolm, who made a point of getting along well with the press, also began leaking stories of immorality among the Muslims. In an open letter, he accused Elijah of having fathered eight illegitimate babies by six teen-age secretaries at Black Muslim headquarters in Chicago. Other defectors—including two of Elijah’s sons—began following Malcolm out of the sect. Naturally, this did not sit well with Elijah. “Only those who wish to be led to hell, or to their doom, will follow Malcolm,” said his biweekly newspaper, Muhammad Speaks. “The die is set, and Malcolm shall not escape.”

Premonitions & Bombs. From the moment he left the Black Muslims, Malcolm had premonitions of mortality. “No one can get out without trouble,” he said. “This thing with me will be resolved by death and violence.” For once he was right. Two weeks ago, in the dead of night, fire bombs gutted Malcolm’s home in East Elmhurst, N.Y., forcing him to flee with his family in nightclothes. Malcolm blamed it on the Muslims; they, in turn, accused Malcolm of planting the bombs in the house himself, partly for publicity purposes, partly because they had lent him the house in the first place and were now about to evict him.

For a few days the Malcolm X family stayed with friends. On the eve of his death, Malcolm checked into an $18-a-day room at the New York Hilton. Within a few hours, three Negroes turned up in the lobby, began questioning a bellhop about his room number. They left when hotel detectives started taking an interest in their interest. Next day Malcolm X left the hotel for a speaking engagement—at the Audubon Ballroom.

Good as Their Word. At the time of his death, Malcolm X had a hard-core following of no more than 100—but he was more or less admired by thousands who, deep in their hearts, were pleased by his denunciations of the white devil. “He will be avenged,” said his half sister Mrs. Ella Mae Collins. “We are going to repay them for what they did to Malcolm,” said Leon 4X Ameer, another turncoat Black Muslim who had a score of his own to settle—a Christmas beating in Boston by karate-skilled bullyboys of the Fruit of Islam, the Black Muslim enforcement “elite.” Added Leon 4X: “I don’t know if Elijah will live out the month.”

In their vows of revenge, the Malcolm X followers were as good as their word. In Harlem, less than 36 hours after the murder, a fire bomb tossed from an adjacent rooftop through an upper window of the Black Muslims’ Mosque No. 7 sent flames shooting 30 feet into the night sky, gutted the building. Six firemen were hurt when a wall caved in, and 320 cops rushed to Harlem from three boroughs under a “rapid mobilization” order after the alarm was sounded. In San Francisco, another mosque was set ablaze, but firemen quickly doused it.

In Chicago, Elijah, a pint-sized (120 Ibs.), asthmatic man of 67, professed unconcern, despite rumors that six pro-Malcolm triggermen were after him. “We are innocent of Malcolm’s death,” he said. “Malcolm died of his own preaching. He preached violence, and violence took him away.” Despite Elijah’s protestations of Black Muslim innocence, New York police arrested and charged with Malcolm’s murder a Negro named Norman 3X Butler, described as a Black Muslim enforcer. When arrested, Norman 3X was free on $10,000 bail in the nonfatal January shooting in New York of another Black Muslim defector.

Human Shield. Chicago police ringed Elijah Muhammad’s 19-room, $50,000 red brick mansion on the South Side, reconnoitered nearby Muslim buildings. When a delivery truck pulled up to Elijah’s house with what the driver said was a grandfather clock, the police bomb squad rushed to the scene. They found that it was indeed a grandfather clock, a gift from Muslim women in Philadelphia.

What worried the police the most, though, was how to protect Elijah at the Muslims’ annual convention in the Chicago Coliseum last weekend. An anonymous caller warned, “We have arrived. Muhammad will have a lively convention.” Police combed the convention hall for bombs, quintupled their security detail to 45 men, ordered 50 more to stand by. Elijah, said one cop, will have “as much security as if he were President Johnson.”

When the convention opened, Elijah drove the four miles in the midst of an eleven-car motorcade, was surrounded by a phalanx of Fruit of Islam members inside the hall. Newsmen were frisked head to toe before entering, even had their shoes checked for hollowed-out heels. Lining the fern-decorated stage and directly below it was a human shield of 55 Fruit of Islam guards, and scores more patrolled the aisles.

The convention itself was a dud. The hall, with a seating capacity of some 7,500, was less than half filled. Elijah Muhammad could hardly be seen behind the ranks of his bodyguards as he delivered a wheezy, two-hour harangue highlighted by a warning to would-be assassins that “to seek to snuff out the life of Elijah Muhammad is to invite doom.” On the convention’s second day, Elijah failed to appear. The explanation: his asthma had kicked up again.

As for Malcolm Little-Malcolm X-John Doe, he was buried as Al Hajj Malik Shabazz, the name he earned in 1964 by making his pilgrimage to Mecca and being received as a true believer. He wore the white robe that signified his faith. In the four days before his burial, more than 20,000 persons, almost all Negroes, filed past his body as it lay on view in a glass-topped, wrought-copper casket. Following Muslim custom, when Malcolm was buried in suburban Westchester’s Ferncliff Cemetery, his head was to the east, toward Mecca.

*As Malcolm explained, the X replaces “the white slave-master name which had been imposed upon my paternal forebears by some blue-eyed devil.” With only a letter of the alphabet to serve as a surname, Muslims with the same given name add numbers before the X to keep one another sorted out. There is, for example, a James 67X. There are, however, Muslims with such surnames as Ali or Shabazz.
