➜⇢ ➽ ➤ Saudi Arabia’s Brave Women Pull Back the Curtain on Crown Prince MBS
The case of Al-Hathloul and the other women’s rights activists on trial in Saudi Arabia is a tremendous embarrassment for MBS, who has been putting an enormous effort into convincing his Western allies that he is a reformer and that the Kingdom is becoming more liberal. by Medea Benjamin and Ariel Gold
This week, Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman (MBS), Saudi Arabia’s 34-year-old de facto ruler, was on a tear. He arrested members of his own royal family and initiated an oil price war with Russia that has sent the price of oil—and the world’s stock markets—plummeting. Behind the headlines, however, another critical event will take place in Saudi Arabia starting March 18: women’s rights activist Loujain al-Hathloul, who was arrested almost two years ago for advocating the right to drive, is due in court. The diabolical MBS wants the world to believe he is the Arab world’s liberal reformer and took credit for eventually granting women the right to drive, but he is also the one who had al-Hathloul and nine other women thrown in prison, charging them as foreign agents and spies. The imprisonment of these peaceful women activists exposes the brutal nature of MBS’s regime and the duplicity of the Western democracies that continue to support him. mintpressnews.com/loujan-al-ha

➜⇢ ➽ ➤ How the New US-Afghanistan Peace Deal Rekindled a “Business Friendly Taliban”
America’s relationship with the Taliban has always been determined by how useful they are at advancing US interests in the region and the Trump administration’s recent efforts to make “peace” with the group are no exception. President Trump, who is up for re-election this year, has added another “peace” deal to his credentials, a deal that the president, his re-election campaign and his supporters have promoted as proof that Trump is willing and able to resist the U.S. foreign policy establishment and its ceaseless push to keep the U.S. embroiled in “forever wars.” Yet, not unlike the much-criticized Israel-Palestine “peace” deal that was recently released by the Trump administration, there is more to the U.S.-Taliban “peace” deal than meets the eye. Indeed, while the deal will reduce and perhaps eventually even end the U.S.’ official military presence in Afghanistan, there is little indication that it will end the bloodshed or the country’s “shadow” economy that is awash in profits from the illegal drug trade and illegal mining. mintpressnews.com/us-afghanist
➜⇢ ➽ ➤Who Made Coronavirus? Was It the U.S., Israel or China Itself? Who Made Coronavirus? Was It the U.S., Israel or China Itself? The most commonly reported mainstream media account of the creation of the Coronavirus suggests that it was derived from an animal borne microorganism found in a wild bat that was consumed by an ethnic Chinese resident of Wuhan. But there appears to be some evidence to dispute that in that adjacent provinces in China, where wild bats are more numerous, have not experienced major outbreaks of the disease. Because of that and other factors, there has also been considerable speculation that the Coronavirus did not occur naturally through mutation but rather was produced in a laboratory, possibly as a biological warfare agent. Several reports suggest that there are components of the virus that are related to HIV that could not have occurred naturally. If it is correct that the virus had either been developed or even produced to be weaponized it would further suggest that its escape from the Wuhan Institute of Virology Lab and into the animal and human population could have been accidental. Technicians who work in such environments are aware that “leaks” from laboratories occur frequently. strategic-culture.org/news/202

BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian wrote on his Twitter account on Thursday that the U.S. military might have brought the coronavirus to the Chinese city of Wuhan, which has been hardest hit by the outbreak. “When did patient zero begin in US? How many people are infected? What are the names of the hospitals? It might be US army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan. Be transparent! Make public your data!

European leaders strongly denounced President Donald Trump’s decision to ban most travel from European countries in response to the coronavirus pandemic, describing the announcement as “unilateral” and made “without consultation.”
“The coronavirus is a global crisis, not limited to any continent and it requires cooperation rather than unilateral action,” EU Council President Charles Michel and Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in a joint statement Thursday morning. motherjones.com/politics/2020/

➜⇢ ➽ ➤ Warning: Big Brother may disrupt your PC when you click on rollingstone.com Unable to Deport the Coronavirus, Trump Tries a Ban
The president’s national address about the pandemic substituted nativism for leadership, culminating in his pointless ban on European travel

US President Donald Trump addresses the nation from the Oval Office about the widening Coronavirus crisis on March 11, 2020 in Washington, DC. President Trump said the US will suspend all travel from Europe - except the UK - for the next 30 days. Since December 2019, Coronavirus (COVID-19) has infected more than 109,000 people and killed more than 3,800 people in 105 countries.

When President Trump authorized his first travel ban only weeks after his inauguration, he was selective with its targets. The purported goal was to mitigate foreign terrorism, but even if such an action were to work, Trump excluded the nations that produced the 9/11 hijackers. Instead, he targeted seven predominantly Muslim nations that had zero connections to his business interests. Same for the subsequent expansions of the ban, one later that year and another just last month.
Trump’s travel ban remains a nativist placebo, something to assuage those looking to blame someone who isn’t white, Christian, or American for their problems. It has the added benefit, for the president, of distracting from the kind of white supremacist violence that engenders the hatred that his politics require. A travel ban remains among Trump’s Pavlovian responses to crisis because it angers liberals, pleases his rabid base, and accomplishes very little beyond hurting people he couldn’t care less about. rollingstone.com/politics/poli

➜⇢ ➽ ➤ Fake News Starts in Washington: Perception Management and Influence Operations Manipulate Public Opinion It is perhaps unusual to have a government that has as much disregard for what most would consider to be the truth as does the current group of rascals running the United States of America. To be sure, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is as shameless a liar as has ever been seen on any public platform while the president himself appears to make things up as he goes along, particularly if a certain embellishment makes him look good. Nevertheless, it is important to recognize that lying and government have a long history, possibly going back to when the first cave dwellers elected a leader to guide the tribe on a mastodon hunt.

Lying is a traditional role for intelligence services. The Romans had a spy service run out of the imperial palace that provided military and political intelligence all across their vast empire. It included what might be called deception operations carried out to confuse enemies about intentions and capabilities. In more recent centuries, the British became masters of both spying and deception. Major influencing intelligence operations run against the United States can be credited with having led to American involvement in both world wars. ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/

➜⇢ ➽ ➤ US now openly admits its goal in Syria is to make it 'difficult' for Moscow and Damascus to defeat terrorists The State Department’s special envoy for Syria has just admitted that the US aims to defend jihadist militants in Idlib against ‘Russian aggression,’ proving once again that the swamp in Foggy Bottom is alive and well. Russia and the Syrian government “are out to get a military victory in all of Syria,” Ambassador James Jeffrey told reporters on a conference call out of Brussels on Tuesday.
Our goal is to make it very difficult for them to do that by a variety of diplomatic, military, and other actions.
To illustrate these methods, Jeffrey cited the US threat to respond “in a very savage military way” against any chemical attacks, which he described as “a favorite tactic of the Syrian regime in making advances.”This is factually untrue, since the alleged attacks always happen after Syrian Army victories, as a pretext for US intervention.

Jeffrey also noted that there are US and coalition troops in parts of Syria – officially there to fight Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS), but in actuality “guarding” the oil fields. He tellingly described their presence as “a complication” for the Syrian government.

Jeffrey and US ambassador to Turkey David Satterfield were in Brussels after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s visit, to discuss ways the US and NATO can help Ankara protect its pet militants in their last remaining redoubt – Syria’s Idlib province.

But while Satterfield described Idlib as containing “three million-plus innocent civilians, the majority of whom are women and children,” and accused “Russian aggression” of seeking to displace them, listen to how Jeffrey chose to describe the situation, when asked by a CNN reporter if NATO was considering sending in ground troops:
I think you can forget ground troops. Turkey has demonstrated ably that it and its opposition forces are more than capable of holding ground on their own.
This is either appallingly ignorant or downright delusional, as the Syrian army had successfully rolled up the Turkish-backed militants and the ceasefire Ankara agreed to in Moscow last week confirmed that. ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/

➜⇢ ➽ ➤ Paying for Syrian Mercenaries and the Turkish Army with Libyan Money are a Key GNA Priority
Posted by INTERNATIONALIST 360° on MARCH 11, 2020
The American video journalist Lindsey Snell revealed in a TV interview new details of links between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and terrorist groups, and his motives for sending mercenaries to Libya.
[Libya, 11 March 2020] – In an interview with al-Bilad TV show on News218 satellite channel, Lindsey Snell, who specialises in conflict and humanitarian crises, said that Erdogan supported the terrorist group al-Qaeda in Syria since its establishment, and has consistently provided the so-called Free Syrian Army with weapons.
“I spoke with a number of militants belonging to the Free Syrian Army factions who had received arms after crossing the Turkish borders into Syria. They were supposed to transfer those weapons to a certain city where they were to leave them, along with ammunition, in preparation for handing them over to al-Nusra Front,” disclosed Snell.
She noted that by adopting such a plan Turkey was supporting militant organizations, adding that the situation had become clearer recently, although al-Nusra Front changed its name twice and claimed that it separated from Al Qaeda in 2016. Al-Nusra Front is still classified as a terrorist organization in many countries, including Turkey.

➜⇢ ➽ ➤ Russia: Israel’s Strikes in Syria Undermine Regional Security
Posted by INTERNATIONALIST 360° on MARCH 12, 2020
TEHRAN (FNA)- Israel’s airstrikes in Syria only add to the tensions and destabilize the situation in the region, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Thursday.
“We are concerned over Israel’s continued practice of delivering unilateral airstrikes on the Syrian territory in violation of the sovereignty of neighboring Arab nations,” she stated, according to TASS.
“The latest such attack was staged by Israeli warplanes on March 5 from Lebanon’s airspace. As a result, one Syrian soldier was killed and more than ten were wounded,” Zakharova added.
“We are convinced that such arbitrary military actions undermine regional stability and heighten tensions,” she stressed.
On March 5, Israeli warplanes delivered missile strikes at military facilities in Syria’s Central Homs and Southern Quneitra provinces. According to Sham FM radio station, at least 12 missiles fired from the Israeli fighter jets were intercepted by Syria’s air defense forces. syria360.wordpress.com/2020/03
