Gilad Atzmon Needs Your Immediate Support!

By Gilad Atzmon: I am being sued for libel in the High Court in England by Campaign Against Antisemitsm’s chairman Gideon Falter. I have made the decision to fight this crucial battle for freedom of expression even though this fight poses a real risk of bankrupting me and my family.
I choose to fight their suit because I believe that the CAA and its chairman and its use of libel laws pose a danger to freedom of speech and the future of this country as an open society. Enough is enough!
Mr. Falter has sued me for comments I made on my own website. 
My comments were made in the context of expressing my opinion about the situation where, last July, The British Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) attested that there had been no increase in anti-Semitism in Britain, and Gideon Falter and the CAA refused to accept the CPS’s verdict. Falter and the CAA insisted that anti Semitism was on the rise. Sky news reported on the discrepancies between the findings of CPS and the CAA.
My article focused on the choice examined by Sky News between two accounts, one maintained by Falter and the CAA, an NGO that is dedicated to prosecuting antisemitism with “zero tolerance”, and the judicial approach of the CPS: a public body, subject to scrutiny and committed to impartiality. 
My comments about the CAA are the basis of their lawsuit.

Chief Of Russian General Staff Says Will Target US Aircraft If Strikes On Syrian Army Endanger His Men

'Any strikes in and around Damascus would almost certainly endanger Russian military personnel.'
By : Lately the US has been talking up a possible attack on the Syrian army in response to its very successful offensive against the rebel Islamist enclave of Ghouta near Damascus.
General Gerasimov - the overall commander of Russia’s armed forces
The United States on Monday warned it was ready to act in Syria if needed to end chemical attacks and “inhuman suffering” as it pushed for a new 30-day ceasefire in Eastern Ghouta at the United Nations Security Council
The US ambassador [Nikki Haley] recalled that President Donald Trump had ordered missile strikes on a Syrian air base in April last year in retaliation for a sarin gas attack blamed on President Bashar al-Assad’s forces.
“We also warn any nation that is determined to impose its will through chemical attacks and inhuman suffering, most especially the outlaw Syrian regime: the United States remains prepared to act if we must,” Haley said.
The Russian military at least is taking the threat seriously. The chief of Russia’s armed forces has issued a warning of his own:

The Pentagon & Hollywood's Successful & Deadly Propaganda Alliance

'America is now stuck in a perpetual pro-war propaganda cycle'
By Michael McCaffrey: The Pentagon helps Hollywood to make money and, in turn, Hollywood churns out effective propaganda for the brutal American war machine.
The US has the largest military budget in the world, spending over $611 billion – far larger than any other nation on Earth. The US military also has at their disposal the most successful propaganda apparatus the world has ever known… Hollywood.
Since their collaboration on the first Best Picture winner ‘Wings’ in 1927, the US military has used Hollywood to manufacture and shape its public image in over 1,800 films and TV shows. Hollywood has, in turn, used military hardware in their films and TV shows to make gobs and gobs of money. A plethora of movies like ‘Lone Survivor,’ ‘Captain Philips,’ and even blockbuster franchises like ‘Transformers’ and Marvel, DC and X-Men superhero movies have agreed to cede creative control in exchange for use of US military hardware over the years.
In order to obtain cooperation from the Department of Defense (DoD), producers must sign contracts that guarantee a military approved version of the script makes it to the big screen.

Is THIS Japan?!?

"Think about the ways your understanding of what's happening in Syria, or Ukraine, or anywhere else is shaped by what they [the lame stream media] show you and what they do not show you. ...It's literally framing your perception of the world" Points out James Corbett.
The eye of the camera is determining what you see and what you do not see, whether you know it or not. Don't let the lame stream media frame your understanding of the world...or at least be conscious of the fact that they are framing the world for you.

Are 'Novichok' Poisons Real? - May's Claims Fall Apart

'The most troubling issue is the behavior of
the lame stream media who fail to point out that
May's claims are bluster and that there is
no evidence at all that supports her claims. '
By Moon of Alabama: The British government claims that 'Novichok' poisons, developed 30 years ago in the Soviet Union, affected a British double agent. But such substances may not exist at all. The British government further says that the Russian government is responsible for the incident and has announced penalties against the country.
A comparable incidents happened in 2001 in the United States. Envelopes with Anthrax spores were sent to various politicians. Some people died. The White House told the FBI to blame al-Qaeda but the Anthrax turned out to be from a U.S. chemical-biological weapon laboratory.  The case is still unsolved.
The 'whistle-blower' Vil Mirzanyanov who 'revealed' the 'Novichok' program and its poisons published chemical formulas that should enable any decent laboratory to reproduce them. But neither the existence of the claimed program nor the existence of the alleged substances were ever accepted by the scientific community. The Russian government says it does not know the program nor the alleged poisons.
The highly constructed drama around the alleged poisoning of a British double agent Skripal and his daughter has thus turned into a surreal play.
