MintCast co-host Whitney Webb interviews author, investigative journalist and poet Douglas Valentine about his extensive work on exposing the dark underbelly of the CIA and some of the agency’s most notorious covert programs.
Webb and Valentine begin the interview discussing how Valentine’s journalistic work on the CIA led him to be spied on and even threatened by the agency and how being a dissident journalist in the 1990s compares to being one now. Valentine argues that, in the present, efforts to outlaw criticism of the state of Israel are like a gateway that will soon lead to the prohibition of criticism of the U.S. government and its intelligence agencies, the CIA among them.

Despite his “sweetheart” deal and having seemingly evaded justice, billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was arrested earlier this month on federal charges for sex trafficking minors. Epstein’s arrest has again brought increased media attention to many of his famous friends, the current president among them.

Israel comes up often in Jeffrey Epstein case
The charges against financier Jeffrey Epstein for sex trafficking are of course one of the biggest stories in the country these days, and Israel and its friends have been an ongoing theme in the case.
Epstein, a 66-year-old former hedge fund manager, supported many Jewish causes and Zionist organizations, and was on the board of the Wexner Foundation, which is devoted to Israel. He had friendships with many Israel supporters, from Alan Dershowitz to Howard Rubenstein to Ehud Barak to Larry Summers. And there is speculation that Epstein, a mysterious international figure, had links to Israeli intelligence.

Sur Baher home demolitions illustrate a vicious spiral of oppression in Palestine
28 July 2019
The more the West represses criticism, the more Israel luxuriates in its impunity
The National – 28 July 2019
Recent events have shone a spotlight not only on how Israel is intensifying its abuse of Palestinians under its rule, but the utterly depraved complicity of western governments in its actions.
The arrival of Donald Trump in the White House two-and-a-half years ago has emboldened Israel as never before, leaving it free to unleash new waves of brutality in the occupied territories.

The issue of War Crimes emerged after World War I at the Versailles Conference, but it was not until the end of World War II that a more comprehensive definition of what constitutes war crimes was developed. First among new international conventions addressing war crimes was the 1950 Charter of the Nuremberg Tribunal. Its fundamental premise was that the conduct of war in violation of international treaties was a crime against peace. Ill treatment of prisoners of war, killing hostages, plunder of public or private property, wanton destruction of cities, towns, or villages was a war crime. Crimes against humanity include murder, extermination, deportation, and prosecution based on political, racial or religious grounds. https://www.globalresearch.ca/united-states-war-crimes/5561468 FULL NEWS ROOM 224 https://wordpress.com/block-editor/post/news830982462.events/224

“Nothing appears more surprising to those who consider human affairs with a philosophical eye, than the easiness with which the many are governed by the few; and the implicit submission, with which men resign their own sentiments and passions to those of their rulers.” — David Hume, “Of the First Principles of Government”, 1768. https://dandelionsalad.wordpress.com/2019/07/28/inside-the-submissive-void-propaganda-censorship-power-and-control-by-greg-maybury/?fbclid=IwAR3cYhlMobJnej3fCIgqtph1ShKOjVfWmhhdQA2bBWcWd9NjQI4iv-9lT_g FULL NEWS ROOM 224 https://wordpress.com/block-editor/post/news830982462.events/224

The September 11, 2001 attack in the United States was the “mother of all false flag” operations, according to Stephen Lendman, an American writer, journalist and political analyst.
In a recent interview, US President Donald Trump said he knows who was behind 9/11 that left thousands of Americans dead.
Trump said that “Iraq did not knock down the World Trade Center.”
“It was not Iraq,” he told the American broadcaster. “It were other people. And I think I know who the other people were. And you might also.”

MAJOR: China Just TELEPORTED An Electron From EARTH TO SPACE, A Giant Step Towards THE INTERNET OF THINGS
BEIJING, China – The Internet of Things just took another gigantic step. Chinese scientists have now successfully teleported an electron from the ground to a satellite 500 kilometers up in space.
Before we start imagining The Enterprise or the 23rd century, we shouldn’t overlook the real technological quantum leap taking place. The implications of a “Quantum Internet” are all based on the principles of entanglement and non-locality.
