Tag: NEO: New Eastern Outlook

America’s 15-year occupation of Afghanistan has, in the end, hurt America almost as much as the land devastated by carpet bombings and drone attacks.

Jim W. Dean - Obama admitted the obvious last month, that he should have given more thought to the aftermath of a post Gaddafi Libya. But that was some symbolic play-acting going on. It was also a failure of the Pentagon planners, the State Department and our European allies.

Jim W. Dean - At the end of the day Westerners are getting extorted by their own banksters in cahoots with the international crime cable with its PR whores planning to pin the tail on the donkey Mr. Putin as the pasty.

Jim W. Dean - What has the corrupt international crime syndicate that is running so much of the West worried is that Putin and his emerging "geopolitical alternative" is a direct threat against their power over our democracies-in-name-only.

Jim W. Dean - The replacement for the Iranian nuclear weapons hoax is rolling out as I had predicted. Russia won that prize, with NATO moving up to its borders with forces on hand, knowing that Russia would have to counter, and that being claimed as "aggression".

Jim W. Dean - Sadly Ziggy is behind the geopolitical curve in not being able to give up his old ways, and yet wanting to play the wise old man passing his wisdom on to the rest us, who frankly are tired of his endless machinations.

Jim W. Dean - NATO is obviously going to do whatever it wants, as there is no mechanism for stopping it via six-figure massive protests in the respective countries where forces are being deployed.

Jim W. Dean - Phil Butler brings us a sleeper story from the Russian news in early May and was ignored by Western media - how Russian can move the water needed to develop western China along the New Silk Road route.

Jim W. Dean - Mr. Engdahl brings us a good review of the oil wars, from the Texas boardrooms, to the Washington think tank conference rooms, to the Saudi Royal places.

Jim W. Dean - Yes, Gordon was a bit angry when he wrote this, which has always contributed to some of his best work. We really don't know who to blame the most for rolling over on all of these phony terror wars. Most of them are run by Intelligence agencies .

Jim W. Dean - Socrates nailed it when he said, "No man undertakes a trade he has not learned, even the meanest; yet everyone thinks himself sufficiently qualified for the hardest of all trades, that of government."

Jim W. Dean - Seth Ferris takes us into the Byzantine geopolitics of Turkey's current situation with backdrop on the Iraqi Kurds shooting down the Turkish Cobra helicopter.

Jim W. Dean - A lot of nasty things were done as the Cold War lasted a long time, but don't see many people concerned anymore about what the Soviets and the East European Communist states were doing during that time.

Jim W. Dean - The US had a major contender for the biggest loon of all, JSC General Lyman Lemnitzer, who on July 20th, 1961, at a NSC meeting, presented President Kennedy with an official plan for a surprise nuclear attack on the Soviet Union.

Jim W. Dean - We have come a long way from the old Davy Crockett mini-nukes, but we still have idiots that say they are just a conspiracy theory when mini-nukes have been the triggers for big nukes, like almost forever. You can't make this stuff up.

Jim W. Dean - China understands that a world in a deep financial recession will be forced to print money to pay its bills with soaring inflation like is happening in Venezuela and Brazil. This wipes out the value of any debt held in those currencies.

Jim W. Dean - Erdogan has a lot of showdowns in play. The EU interior minister has said "no deal" on the visa regime unless Turkey complies with all the requirements, of which it has been well aware for a number of years and never objected to, until now.

Jim W. Dean - German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier saying last week that despite the problems with the ceasefire, it had accomplished more in the last few weeks than had been done in the past five years.

Americans know their email and phone calls are listened to but not how social scientists at a dozen universities, working for agencies like the DHS, Department of Defense, NSA and DARPA have learned to handle “big data" to measure your threat level.

Have the rules changed? The new “nuke” seems to be the malleable human, the religious believer, the refugee bereft of hope, the fearful European, or 100 million young Muslims who will never hope to enjoy a life with meaningful employment and a family, creating a mercenary army “on the cheap”.

Seth Ferris -- Different departments of every Western government want funding, regardless of what it is for, so bombing hospitals changes the game and the balance of power between competing agencies -- It is individual parts of governments, acting unofficially to pursue their own agendas.

Jim W. Dean - This was written when we had the ceasefire go into place, which has turned out to not be much of one, but of the kind where no major offensives have been made by Azerbaijan. That provides an opportunity to cool things down.

Russia provided a forum for Muslim journalists to work on combating extremist Muslims using state media platforms to spread their ideology.

Jim W. Dean - The Dutch vote, you can be sure, will be undermined to the best of the EU elites' ability to do so. That said, the president had mentioned he would work to have "adjustments" made to what the association would entail.

Jim W. Dean - Salman Sheikh has a nice condensed review of the struggling US-Saudi relationship, which is not an easy task with all of its layers and Byzantine complications.

Gordon Duff - Presidential politics in the US are leading to a potentially dark future, not just for the US, but to a collapse of NATO and the EU as well. Moves are afoot by the ultra-powerful lobbying machine of the new anti-US alliance of Israel.

Jim W. Dean - Seth Ferris hits a grand slam home run with this piece, about how the dynamics of modern warfare still follow the "use it or lose it" mentality and subterfuge of the past.

By Konrad Stachnio for New Eastern Outlook, Moscow After bringing Ukraine to the stage of complete disintegration, the country has fallen into mired corruption, ruled by...

Jim W. Dean - The Syrian people want their homes back and the terrorists dead, so let’s get on with what needs to be done, or more will die who did not need to.

Jim W. Dean - Konrad Stachnio lays out how Poland is becoming a terrorist weapons transit country for the growing marriage of ISIL and the Ukie Neo-Nazis and their boardroom buddies to destabilize the EU, like Turkey is doing.

The angels have brought us another Wikileaks document scandal to have fun slicing to pieces. This one advertised from the start that it was a lynch-mob deal, since the publishers had sat on the documents for a year.

Jim W. Dean - Seth Ferris has discovered that, with the US finally pulling out of Yemen, the very large weapons stockpile for the CIA, $500-million worth, seems to have gone missing. Imagine that.

Jim W. Dean - We enter into the theater of the bizarre in the evolution of Turkish-Iranian relations. Iran now is playing the game of not letting terrorism issues trump doing economic deals it wants to do, like it has condemned the West for doing.

Jim W. Dean - Our prayers have been answered. The Panama Papers scam is being burned down as I type, along with what little reputation that corporate media and the think tank subverts thought they might still have.

Jim W. Dean - International criminal attorney digs down into the shorts of who is behind the funding of the so-called independent media exposé on the Panama Papers and finds a motherload of hard-wired Washington insiders running the game.

Jim W. Dean - Just when Azerbaijan seemed ready for an all out assault on Nagorno-Karabakh, the war train came to a screeching halt. Putin had gotten both leaders to Moscow to stop the fighting before passions were inflamed even more.

Gordon Duff outs the Panama Papers as another Intel psyop to throw some sacrificial lambs to the wolves while targeting some key opponents, and making sure none of the international criminal network is touched. So far it is "mission successful".

Jim W. Dean - Phil Butler gives us a good recap on the geopolitical shifts in play with Turkey and the EU, where the natives are restless. Russo-phobia is backfiring on the Neo-Cold War crowd who planned to exploit it.

Jim W. Dean - The Russians were right all along — that the Western game of “good terrorists and bad” was a fool’s game, for which their citizens will pay a heavy price and yet deny any responsibility.

Jim W. Dean - We are upping our game here on the Georgian arms smuggling, with this interview with a major source. It is just the tip of the iceberg, with the chemical weapons and bioweapons nasty dealing that has been going on there.
