  • This Post As Tangentially Related to Leveymg's Most Excellent Recent Diary
    This post as tangentially related to leveymg's most excellent recent diary "Larger CIA and DoD Privatization Scandal Emerging from Walter Reed Story, US Attorneys Firing" which centers around hedge fund giant Cerberus. If you haven't had a chance to check that diary out, be sure to do so because it is a very worthwhile read. In this diary, we're going to delve into the intertwined, and quite convoluted scandals involving, among st other things: - Alleged bribes to Ariel Sharon by Martin Schlaff, an Austrian industrialist, that were used to pay back illegal campaign contributions Sharon used in 1999. - The scandalous collapse of Refco, the commodity futures giant, and the related collapse of BAWAG, one of Austria's largest banks (Cerberus recently bought BAWAG, BTW). - Martin Schlaff's investment in Yasser Arafat's "Oasis Casino", and that casino was tied into by the BAWAG/Refco scandals AND Ariel Sharon's right-hand-man Dov Weissman. - Martin Schlaff's and George "Macaca" Allen's involvement with the "Xybernaut" pump-and-dump stock fraud. - Martin Schlaff's apparent financier of far-Right Israeli politician Avigdor Lieberman - and finally, the potential for a crisis in Israel's democracy due to endemic corruption, and the chilling figures that could take advantage of such a crisis. Get to know your BAWAG So, let's get started with a look at the BAWAG scandal that rocked Austria's politics: Austrian Bank Scandal: When Socialists Play With Money From the desk of Chris Gillibrand on Tue, 2006-04-04 22:53 A major banking scandal is rocking the Austrian political elites – left and right.

It turns out the British government may have been over- T reporting deaths from Covid19. Who knew, right? is follows the “news” that Public Health England (PHE) have been recording Covid19 as the cause of death for anyone who has ever tested positive for the virus. PHE released a statement admitting as much: is potentially includes people who were asymptomatic, people who had the disease and then recovered and people who never had the disease https://off-guardian.org/2020/07/17/uk-govt-finally-admits-covid-statistics-are-inaccurate/ 2/111 11/30/2020 UK gov’t (finally) admits Covid statistics are inaccurate – OffGuardian at all but received a false positive from the incredibly unreliable PCR tests. In short, as one government insider is quoted in the Evening Standard: It turns out you could have been tested positive in “ February, recovered, then hit by a bus in July and you’d be recorded as a covid death.” Of course, none of this is news for people who have been paying attention – OfG and many others have been reporting this could be happening for months.

  • The CIA Used Feminism to Destabilize Society
    Feminism AKA Mind Control The CIA Used Feminism To Destabilize Society In the 1960´s, the elite media invented second-wave feminism as part of the elite agenda to dismantle civilization and create a New World Order." Since writing these words last week, I have discovered that before she became a feminist leader, Gloria Steinem worked for the CIA spying on Marxist students in Europe and disrupting their meetings. She became a media darling due to her CIA connections. MS Magazine, which she edited for many years was indirectly funded by the CIA. Steinem has tried to suppress this information, unearthed in the 1970´s by a radical feminist group called "Red Stockings." In 1979, Steinem and her powerful CIA- connected friends, Katharine Graham of the Washington Post and Ford Foundation President Franklin Thomas prevented Random House from publishing it in "Feminist Revolution." Nevertheless the story appeared in the "Village Voice" on May 21, 1979. Steinem has always pretended that she had been a student radical. "When I was in college, it was the McCarthy era," she told Susan Mitchell in 1997, "and that made me a Marxist." (Icons, Saints and Divas: Intimate Conversations with Women who Changed the World 1997. p 130) Her bio-blurb in June 1973 MS. Magazine states: "Gloria Steinem has been a freelance writer all her professional life. Ms magazine is her first full-time salaried job." Not true. Raised in an impoverished, dysfunctional family in Toledo Ohio, Steinem somehow managed to attend elite Smith College, Betty Friedan´s alma mater. After graduating in 1955, Steinem received a "Chester Bowles Student Fellowship" to study in India.

  • Noam Chomsky and the Compatible Left, Part I Posted on March 4, 2019
    Noam Chomsky and the Compatible Left, Part I Posted on March 4, 2019 https://lorenzoae.wordpress.com/ Noam Chomsky recently took to the pages of The Intercept to give his blessing to the US military’s occupation of Syria, solidifying his support for the Pentagon after years of having done so in slightly more anguished terms. As far as the occupation, the only concession to what might once have been considered “Leftist” values is the MIT professor’s acknowledgement that the US is motivated by “power considerations” rather than “humanitarian objectives.” Today, the brief nod to realpolitik is what’s supposed to pass for a progressive anti-war stance. The Intercept is really a natural fit for Chomsky to deliver this message. The nonagenarian professor has limited years left on earth, and when he passes, Glenn Greenwald and Pierre Omidyar’s website will probably become the new face of the permissible Left. That Chomsky lends his radical imprimatur to a US military occupation in its pages is a testament to what kind of a “Left” Chomsky has helped to create and is bequeathing to Greenwald and Omidyar. To get an idea of the before-and-after picture, consider two recent pieces from Alfred McCoy, a historian who, like Chomsky, has produced radical scholarship for almost half a century. McCoy has done some of the best work on the CIA’s role in the global heroin trade, the relationship between foreign counterinsurgency and domestic policing, and the United States’ peerless role in developing and exporting new forms of torture. McCoy claims that while researching his landmark book The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia, he came under attack by CIA mercenaries; after its publication, McCoy was monitored by the CIA and audited by the IRS, and ultimately had to move to Australia for 11 years in order to keep working.
