International Public Notice: Arrest the Criminals

By Anna Von Reitz

The answer to the world’s problems is simple. Arrest and punish the criminals. Don’t go to war and let them profit themselves from it — again. Finally deal with the problem.

The world has been made miserable by these cretins for the past 300 years ever since the English Civil War, the War of the Spanish Succession, Queen Anne, the Treaty of Utrecht, and the fraudulent cobbling together of “Great Britain”.

We understand that the U.S. Military is loath to arrest their own criminals, as they have been in bed with the Federal Reserve since Day One, but the facts are facts.

The next “run up” that the Federal Reserve has in store for everyone is mammoth inflation (devaluation of their legal tender) while extracting more and more actual goods and services out of the economy.

This is a crime and it has been planned with malice aforethought.

The fact that it was planned over a hundred years ago on Jekyll Island doesn’t change the fact that it is a crime and a fraud scheme; in many ways, the long term and predetermined nature of the crime makes it worse.

These banks and bankers cold-bloodedly planned to defraud their customers and neighbors and country; their sons and grandsons have carried out their plan to the letter.

The plan in essence was to float (as in kiting a check) a credit system on bonding future performances of labor and services to be provided by U.S. Citizens used — unknowingly — as Mercenaries.

The bankers knew before they printed the first FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE that this form of currency always and predictably self-destructs and becomes worthless.  

This fiat debt-credit system was imposed on purpose, with malice aforethought, to trade on the Good Names of the Americans and to silently embezzle the value of this country’s assets and its people’s labor.  

This was done despite labor laws and other prohibitions in place at the time it started. 

By 1946, the Perps simply kicked it up a notch with a crooked Government Accounting System known as “double accrual accounting” also known as “keeping a double set of books” —and hunkered down to profit from the unlawful, illegal, and immoral conscription of millions of American “volunteers” who didn’t actually, knowingly, or willingly volunteer to participate in any of this. 

Going to war over this would be completely inappropriate.  This requires hand-cuffs, not bombs. 

As stated earlier, and repeatedly, this is a matter of banking fraud, securities fraud, counterfeiting, unjust enrichment, false registrations, unconscionable contracts and additional crimes including inland piracy, unlawful conversion of nationality, racketeering, and conspiracy against the Constitutions — and these are all crimes.  

Some of these charges are very serious crimes of state, but they are still crimes and need to be handled as such. 

As suggested to Mr. Putin yesterday, Russia doesn’t need to rattle any sabers or give the rats any opportunity to start the war they need to make money — war is the primary way they make money, so they want war — especially when they are secretly primed to open a three-front war against Russia through Germany, Ukraine, and China. 

What’s required is the assistance of the U.S. Military to arrest the bankers, politicians, and erring military officers responsible for these crimes, and the assistance of the militaries and police forces and agencies worldwide to enforce our Arrest Orders. 

The ultimate game plan that the Federal Reserve plotters established was simply to force everyone to inequitably exchange their gold and silver and other actual physical assets in exchange for future promises to pay — that is, the notes — albeit, with no date for repayment, and no specific form of repayment. 

Federal Reserve Notes are not negotiable instruments and have no value — beyond being a partial evidence of the debts we are owed by these Swindlers.  

Meanwhile, the Perps collected up all the gold, silver, land, patents, copyrights, labor contracts, trademarks and whatever else they could gather, knowing that when the fiat currency they floated failed, these hard assets would increase in value by hundreds if not thousands of times their original value.  

Gold that sold for $28 an ounce in 1928 would be worth $2,800 per ounce, or, in their dreams, $28,000 per ounce, and guess who would be holding all the gold and other actual physical assets they purloined — not only from the Americans, but through their European buddies, the Brits, the Aussies, the Germans, the French…. 

So the Federal Reserve is playing out their final vicious throw — extracting the last gasp of “value” out of their worthless promises to pay, via deliberately increasing the rate of inflation to Weimar Republic heights.  They are counting on this to drive the price and demand for gold and silver to astronomical heights, and to be sitting in the catbird seat, controlling all the gold, silver, land, labor, and other assets they purloined and swindled and embezzled from the rest of us, worldwide. 

Let your investigations and arrest orders extend as appropriate to the members of the European Common Market, the International Monetary Fund and IBRD, the World Bank, the UN CORPORATION, NYSE, NYC, and the executives and board members of other corporations operating as governments worldwide. 

This entire Swindle involving impersonation of living people and imposition of the improperly operated debt-credit financial system is both fraud and theft carried out under color of law, and the correct answer for it, is to arrest the bankers involved, and lawfully convert all the Maritime Commercial Banks that they have used to accomplish their crimes into Merchant Banks — as a first step, and start returning the purloined assets to the people they actually belong to. 

We have a competent and clean, new, and independent bilateral banking system ready to directly connect people and businesses worldwide. There is no need to panic, but there is a need to take action. 

The Unjust Enrichment these banks are waiting for with bated breath must never reach their hands and must instead be returned to the living people to whom the assets actually belong.  

The members of the British Territorial U.S. Congress and the Municipal CONGRESS are protected only insofar as the good faith performance of their job duties are concerned; as the Board of Directors and/or Board of Trustees for incorporated entities, they have absolutely no state immunity.  

Please arrest those members prior and sitting who approved and sought to legalize any domestic bioterrorism program in The United States or any other country under occupation by “United States” military operations.  

Please also arrest any members of these foreign Congressional Bodies who exempted themselves and their families from taking Covid-19 injections while mandating it for the General Public and members of the military. 

Please also arrest any members of these foreign Congressional Bodies who have promoted and created any unauthorized “independent, international city-state” operating in the District of Columbia. 

Please also arrest any members of the Executive Branch of these Corporations who have participated in or profited by the deployment of the Covid-19 injections deceptively promoted as vaccines. 

Please also arrest any remaining living members of the prior Congressional Bodies who offered to underwrite the liability for the pharmaceutical vaccine producers, knowing that the corporations they represented were already in bankruptcy and could not be sued for the damages. 

Please arrest all members and officers of the former and present Federal Reserve operations worldwide; these men have been the puppet masters of one of the most virulent property and identity theft schemes in human history.  

Please arrest the Lord Mayor of the Inner City of London and leaders of the British Crown Corporation as beneficiaries of these scandalous crimes. Similarly arrest Jorge Bergoglio in his private capacity, and Charles Windsor, also in his private capacity; these two men were the titular Principals in addition to the Lord Mayor referenced, and may be presumed to know what their left hands were doing.    

Please arrest the CEO’s and scientists involved in the preparation and deployment of the mRNA vaccines and all those presently engaged in attempting to deploy additional mRNA “Replicon” viruses via injection, including members of DARPA, the NIH, and FDA. 

Please arrest the Directors and Board Members of the World Economic Forum and any “Future Leaders” that they placed in positions of power under false and undisclosed pretenses. 

Please arrest Donald John Trump, if he has been foolish enough to accept being “King” of Israel, while operating as the Commander-in-Chief of what is supposed to be our military;  he should also be questioned very closely about Operation Warp Speed and his part in it. 

Please arrest anyone involved in setting up a new corporation calling itself “the American Government, Incorporated” or any similarly named entities designed to impersonate our lawful government.

Please arrest Joe Biden who has been operating as “President” of the White House Office, Inc., long after any pretense of legitimate office connected to the former UNITED STATES, INC. was gone.  He is to be prosecuted for election fraud, profiteering, abuse of office, criminal commercial activities, and other crimes. 

Please arrest Benjamin Netanyahu for his part in these criminal banking fraud operations and both prior and present genocides, stock market manipulation, money laundering, and crimes of state.  

Please arrest the executives and board members of Pfizer, Moderna, Astrazeneca, Johnson and Johnson, Monsanto, Bayer, and any other pharmaceutical corporation having any part in poisoning anyone or else altering the natural genome of anyone without their fully informed consent. 

Please inform the President of the Philippines that the American Government never went anywhere; the good decent people of this country still exist. We are not absent; we have been misrepresented and impersonated, lied to and lied about, but we are still here.

International Public Notice: Arrest the Criminals

Declassified: BBC and MI6 Kosovo War Propaganda Blitz

By Kit Klarenberg

On March 24th, this journalist exposed how London was at the forefront of efforts to launch a ground invasion of Yugoslavia, during NATO’s illegal March-May 1999 bombing campaign.

Mercifully, this noxious project never came to pass, but declassified files show there was a further, secret component to Britain’s war effort in Kosovo. MI6 covertly sought to manipulate public opinion at home and within Belgrade via wide-ranging propaganda campaigns, manufacturing consent for President Slobodan Milosevic’s indictment for war crimes, removal from office, and more.

NATO’s criminal bombing of Yugoslavia was launched, and sustained, upon atrocity propaganda. Claims Belgrade’s forces were perpetrating a modern-day Holocaust abounded throughout, despite the alliance’s air assault ostensibly being launched to prevent such carnage.

Western officials’ calculations of civilians slaughtered by the Yugoslav army grew ever-wilder. At one stage, a NATO spokesperson asserted 100,000 were dead. When Yugoslav officials were prosecuted over the conflict by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), the total was revised down to a vague “hundreds.”

At every step though, Western media reported as gospel whatever nonsense NATO and Western government officials asserted, while framing the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA)—a sadistic, civilian-targeting CIA and MI6-backed jihadist militia with whom the Yugoslav army was truly at war—as courageous freedom fighters.

As we shall see, the BBC, working in close collaboration with British intelligence, was an eager belligerent in this information war.

This blitz included a completely bogus Panorama “documentary,” featuring false eyewitness testimony of heinous atrocities, purportedly committed by Belgrade’s forces. Its effects were devastating, by design. The sordid episode’s relevance to future U.S. and British proxy conflicts, in Libya, Syria, Ukraine and elsewhere, could not be clearer, or graver.

“Editorial Control”

Among the declassified British government papers reviewed for this article is an April 29, 1999, memo dispatched from Michael Pakenham, then-head of London’s Joint Intelligence Committee, to John Sawers, Prime Minister Tony Blair’s “foreign policy adviser,” who in 2009 was appointed MI6 chief. It discussed clandestine “work with the media” since NATO’s aerial assault on Belgrade had already begun five weeks earlier, beginning with a section on “broadcasting to the Serb people.”

The BBC and MI6 were said to have “put substantial effort into increasing news broadcasting” to Yugoslavia, and neighboring Albania and Macedonia, since the bombing began. Due to government restrictions on foreign media during the war, the pair were investigating methods of ensuring broadcasts into Belgrade were not interrupted. U.S. propaganda outlets Radio Free Europe and Voice of America had already identified methods of doing so, and “offered to share their facilities with the BBC.”

Yet, the pair’s “heavy output” meant whatever remaining airtime was made available to the British state broadcaster—such as “the middle of the night”—“would be unattractive.” The BBC “would thus prefer to set up their own arrangements.” One option was to bombard Yugoslav audiences with propaganda via CNN and Sky News. The memo lamented that, “relatively few Yugoslavs have satellite dishes,” therefore denting the reach of British Satellite News, branded London’s “global fake news network” by academic propaganda expert David Miller.

Still, Pakenham wrote, “in times of crisis, word spreads fast,” meaning that even a small initial impact could have a resultant multiplier effect locally, due to a “thirst for news.” In any event, British Satellite News was still managing to broadcast regular news packages, over which the Foreign Office—read: British intelligence—had “editorial control,” into Belgrade via Montenegro. The Yugoslav republic was at that time led by corrupt autocrat Milo Djukanovic, who covertly coordinated his political activities with MI6.

Earlier that month, a memo authored by MI6 officer Julian Braithwaite observed that Montenegrin media were ideal to “broadcast criticism of Milosevic,” as “its powerful transmitters reach deep into Kosovo and Serbia.” He urged Downing Street to express “visible and immediate support to Djukanovic,” as “we need to demonstrate that reform pays, and we look after our friends.” This could take the form of Blair giving an interview to local news outlets, explaining “why we do not hold Montenegro responsible,” while announcing “assistance” for Djukanovic.

Elsewhere in Pakenham’s memo, he noted the U.S. was broadcasting propaganda into Yugoslavia from a plane, flying low above the region. Embarrassingly, “personal contacts” in Belgrade suggested to him “it has not gone down well.”

Derisively dubbed “NATO TV” locally, it was “regarded as a joke” by viewers, “partly because the Serbian accent of the presenter is poor.” By contrast, internet-based propaganda campaigns were considered “a success story.”

The War on Yugoslavia 25 Years Later: NATO’s Blueprint For the Conflicts of the Twenty First Century

Official Foreign Office and Ministry of Defence webpages publishing information on the Kosovo War, translated into Serbian, were attracting “at least 1,000 hits a day from Yugoslavia.” Pakenham suggested there would be “other hits from Yugoslavs on which we cannot put even an imprecise figure.” At the start of April, British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook authored “a special internet message to the people of Serbia,” and a second was being considered.

“Clobba Slobba”

More sinisterly, a dedicated Cabinet Office “Coordination Group” was compiling a “long list” of Yugoslav internet users, and “some agencies” were “developing ways of exploiting it effectively without any British hand showing.” The Group more widely was concerned with disseminating word of “Serb brutalities” in Kosovo, and “abuse of power of the Milosevic family and his cronies,” into Belgrade, “in a way which does not show British fingerprints.”

As such, the Coordination Group tasked British embassies in Yugoslavia’s neighboring countries “to feed material into local media for unattributable publication, [which] would be read by some Serbs.” Two articles on the Group’s core propaganda themes had already been disseminated in this manner; Pakenham promised “there will be more.” The same material was furthermore “made available to NATO.” Meanwhile, the Group was “trying to arrange for an Interpol investigation to be started into Marko Milosevic.”

In addition to the Yugoslav president’s son, the Group “compiled a list of Serbs outside the Milosevic family who are regime members or supporters important to Milosevic personally, on which it is now looking for usable information on corruption and other publishable behaviour.” This hunt was foreshadowed in Julian Braithwaite’s memo, which stated that Blair’s notorious spin doctor, Alistair Campbell, wanted to brief the British press “that Interpol is about to publish an arrest warrant” for Marko.

Meanwhile, The Sun was “ready to send the paparazzi after him.” Then the crown jewel of Rupert Murdoch’s global media empire, it boasted a daily circulation in the tens of millions. British newspaper front pages, and reporting more generally, throughout NATO’s bombing of Yugoslavia, almost unequivocally cheered the illegal campaign’s success, jingoistically tubthumping for ever-greater aggression. Yet, the declassified files show that the BBC and MI6 propaganda outburst was necessary precisely because the airstrikes were an abject failure.

In Braithwaite’s missive, he complained that Britain’s efforts to “convince military commanders and public opinion to turn against Milosevic” were entirely counterproductive. Serbs were “rallying round the flag” and “a blitz mentality” had set in locally. “Anger, bitterness and betrayal” were “common emotions” among his personal contacts in Belgrade. “Many staunch opponents of Milosevic” resolved to support the President, “while their country is under attack.”

Furthermore, the destruction of a prominent bridge in Novi Sad, “Serbia’s most liberal city,” had alienated local inhabitants and “Belgrade’s pro-Western intelligentsia,” making “pro-Western policies and connections unfashionable” in Yugoslavia. “This is a problem for us,” Braithwaite lamented.

A destroyed bridge in the city of Novi Sad, April 26, 1999. More than 1,500 settlements, 60 bridges, 30% of all schools, and about 100 monuments were destroyed in the criminal NATO bombing of Serbia. MI6 agent Julian Braithwaite worried that the destruction of the bridge created a public relations problem. [Source: felix-edmond.livejournal.com]

Deadly Web of Deceit Weaved

British intelligence got the opportunity to turn Yugoslav citizens, in particular pro-Western liberals, against Milosevic—or try to—by portraying Belgrade’s forces as engaged in genocide against Kosovo Albanian civilians, at his direct order. This was provided by retransmitting an April 28, 1999, BBC Panorama “documentary” into the country, via “local television stations” in neighboring states, “whose programmes can be received in Serbia.”

The Killing of Kosovo was never repeated, and cannot be viewed online today. All that remains is an official transcript from the time. In the program, multiple interviewees, including U.S. General Wesley Clark, who oversaw NATO’s bombing as Supreme Allied Commander Europe, and Kosovo Albanian refugees, accused Milosevic of personally orchestrating the violent, “wholesale expulsion” of innocent civilians from the province, deploying rampaging Yugoslav security and paramilitary forces for the purpose, who left a vast trail of massacred innocents, razed villages, and gang rape everywhere they went.

The tales of alleged atrocities reported by refugee talking heads in the program were almost invariably as lurid as they were ludicrous. One told the BBC she “heard” that Yugoslav forces “caught 20 young women and girls,” then executed “most of their husbands…in front of their eyes.” The surviving women were reportedly forced to “serve” Belgrade’s troops “as if they were their wives”—“they had to serve them during the day and sleep with them at night.”

Meanwhile, several interviewees said they personally saw “Serbs” commit rape and mass murder of their friends, relatives and neighbors. Unbelievably though, they were not only allowed to live to tell the tale, but sent safely over the border to Albania. There, as Yugoslav forces would have known, NATO, Western journalists, and rights groups waited in profusion, ready to amplify their stories to the world. Other talking heads spoke of roads soaked with blood, and littered with dozens of corpses.

Kosovo was at that time subject to intensive, daily NATO reconnaissance flights. Nothing resembling any of the scenes described has ever emerged. Strikingly, Panorama elsewhere cited grainy, barely discernible “satellite imagery” of “what appears to be” mass graves in the province, provided by the military alliance. Why the program producers did not think to ask if those satellites had detected anything to corroborate any of their interviewees’ tales is not clear.

Relevantly, while the bombing was ongoing, British journalist Audrey Gillan interviewed many Kosovo Albanians in a refugee camp in Macedonia, in search of “real evidence” for the monstrous claims of mass rape and murder in the province emanating from Western officials. She found none. An unnamed OSCE source told her they suspected the KLA “had been persuading people to talk in bigger numbers, to crank up the horror so that NATO might be persuaded to send ground troops in faster.”

Nevertheless, BBC host Jane Corbin did ask some tough questions, namely, “will Mr. Milosevic ever be brought to justice?” and “how can NATO negotiate a settlement with a man they have openly called a war criminal?” She firmly informed ICTY chief prosecutor Louise Arbour, “your credibility is on the line…people must stand trial, those at the very top, to make your job worthwhile at all.” Elsewhere, she demanded assurances from Robin Cook that the Yugoslav President would not be granted amnesty in exchange for peace.

“Patriotic Duty”

The ICTY answered the BBC’s call on May 24, 1999, indicting Milosevic for war crimes, and crimes against humanity, in Kosovo. Mysteriously, not a single “eyewitness” featured in the Panorama program appeared at his resultant trial, and the “documentary” was not entered into evidence. No wonder—proceedings would have been an even bigger disaster for NATO then. As it was, the tribunal incinerated Western narratives of what transpired in the province, and why the alliance had to “intervene.”

Multiple Yugoslav officials testified that not only was there no plan to displace, let alone carry out a genocide againt Kosovo’s Albanian population, but the army had strict instructions to prevent refugee flows, while protecting civilians from KLA attacks and conscription. In some cases, the separatist militia forcibly recruited children.

One army colonel, suffering severe health issues due to NATO’s concealed, illegal use of depleted uranium, told the ICTY he had urged citizens to stay after the bombing began, but assisted those who wished to flee.

“There is nothing sadder than watching a column of poor people who are moving from their homes on someone’s instructions,” he contemporaneously lamented in his field diary. “Soldiers are the way they are; they give juice and cookies to children in passing.”

Those “instructions” were given by the Kosovo Liberation Army itself. One of the group’s operatives, who “[filmed] the plight of displaced Albanian civilians with a video camera” for Western consumption, admitted to The Guardian in June 1999 that “KLA advice, rather than Serbian deportations” prompted the exodus.

His account is corroborated by ICTY testimony of Eve-Ann Prentice, a mainstream British journalist almost killed in a May 1999 NATO airstrike, while traveling through Kosovo:

“Ordinary civilian ethnic Albanians…had been told it was their patriotic duty to leave because the world was watching. This was their one big opportunity to make Kosovo part of Albania…NATO was there, ready to come in, and anybody who failed to join this exodus was somehow not supporting the Albanian cause…They were frightened of the bombing, they were frightened of the KLA, they didn’t really want to leave their homes.”

Fear of “being killed or injured” by NATO bombing was, per Prentice, “justified.” While in Kosovo, she “saw many civilians dead and injured, many ordinary homes that were bombed by NATO.” These anxieties were greatly amplified, she explained, by the military alliance’s illegal assault intensifying over time, its aircraft terrorizingly flying ever-lower overhead. School facilities, apartment blocks, and other civilian infrastructure were reduced to total rubble in targeted, repeat strikes along the way.

NATO member states were the ICTY’s key funders and facilitators. There was no question of the alliance being held accountable for war crimes it committed in Yugoslavia. “You’re more likely to see the UN building dismantled brick-by-brick and thrown into the Atlantic than to see NATO pilots go before a UN tribunal,” a Spokesman for the Foreign Affairs Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives boasted in May 1999. The total number of civilians killed by military alliance bombing that year will likely never be known.

The ICTY did investigate whether NATO’s April 23, 1999, strike on the headquarters of Belgrade’s RTS TV, which killed 16 staff and trapped 16 more in rubble for days afterward, constituted a war crime.

The Tribunal concluded that, while the site was not a military target, the action aimed to disrupt the state’s communications network, so it was still legitimate. It moreover found NATO warned Yugoslav authorities weeks prior that RTS may be caught in the crossfire, unless six hours of uncensored Western news reports were broadcast daily.

This would, the alliance argued, make RTS an “acceptable instrument of public information,” thus averting its destruction. The ultimatum is rendered considerably more perverse, and duplicitous, given the declassified files reviewed here. All along, NATO and its member states—in particular Britain, leading proponent of Yugoslavia’s all-out invasion—had numerous cloak-and-dagger means to transmit whatever they wished into the country they were criminally destroying.

Instigation of Rebellions in Tibet

By Shane Quinn

The land area called Tibet, in south-western China, is a vast and strategically important part of the Chinese nation, resting on the borders of India, Nepal, Bhutan and Myanmar. The size of Tibet, if including most of the sparsely inhabited Tibetan Plateau as part of its territory, amounts to 970,000 square miles which is almost 4 times bigger than France.

The Chinese authorities, however, recognise the part of Tibet located on the western side of the plateau, and in 1965 the area was formally established as the Tibet Autonomous Region by Beijing. The Tibet Autonomous Region consists of 472,000 square miles which is still much larger than nearly every European country.

Tibet is the highest region on earth with an average altitude above sea level of nearly 4,400 metres. The overall temperature in winter remains below freezing. In the winter of 2018/2019, the coldest in Tibet for two decades, the average temperature was minus 4.3 degrees Celsius which was almost half a degree lower than in usual years.

Many Tibetans live outside of cities and towns. Sixty-nine percent of inhabitants in the central part of the Tibet Autonomous Region were living in rural areas by 2017. There they have farmed yaks and sheep on the high altitude, semi-arid grasslands and valleys, while they grow crops such as barley.

\With the introduction by Beijing of healthcare programmes in Tibet since 1951, the average life expectancy of Tibetan residents has grown significantly. At the start of 2020 the typical life expectancy in Tibet was 70.6 years, whereas in 1950 it had only been 35.5 years. Because of its elevation and challenging land, the population of the Tibet Autonomous Region in 2022 consisted of a still modest 3.64 million people; but this is a population increase of around 15 percent since 2012.

Asia’s biggest rivers can be traced to Tibet such as the Yangtze, the Mekong, and the Yellow, which are a vital water source for many people living in nations like China, India, Pakistan and Thailand.

In modern history Tibet was reintegrated to China just over 300 years ago.

The Qing dynasty of China assumed control over the region in 1720, when Chinese soldiers that year defeated and expelled the Mongol forces of the Dzungar Khanate from Tibet. Yet the history of Tibet as being part of China dates much further back, to the mid-13th century, when the region was incorporated to China under the Yuan dynasty. China’s authorities have strongly argued that Tibet continued to be a Chinese territory during the Ming dynasty which lasted until 1644.

Over elapsing centuries one of the greatest challenges to China’s control over Tibet occurred during the 1950s and 1960s, in the immediate years after the successful culmination of the Chinese revolution in 1949. The revolution re-established China’s independence after many years of meddling in the country by the Western powers, such as from the United States.

After 1948 the US had “lost China to communism” and policies were undertaken in Washington to reinstate their authority over China, with territories like Tibet identified as target areas. The CIA and to a lesser extent the US military helped to instigate anti-Chinese insurrections in Tibet, such as occurred from 1956 in the Kham and Amdo areas in the eastern part of the Tibetan Plateau.

The CIA directly intervened in Tibet and following 1956 went so far as to fly hundreds of Tibetan militants to the US, where they underwent training by CIA personnel at a facility in the state of Colorado. This military training centre, called Camp Hale, was built for US mountain troops in 1942 and was positioned high up the Rocky Mountains. In the latter stages of World War II, some Wehrmacht troops captured by the US Army in North Africa were sent to Camp Hale where they were kept prisoner.

After completion of training at Camp Hale the “Tibetan freedom fighters” were flown in planes belonging to a CIA airline, called the Intermountain Aviation and Intermountain Airways, and also by the US Air Force, to a secret base for operations against China constructed in the town of Aspen, a Colorado skiing hotspot.

The failed 1959 rebellion in Tibet against Beijing’s authority was most heavily encouraged by Washington. As early as May 1957 armed Tibetan groups were created with CIA support. The following year (June 1958) an anti-Chinese guerrilla army, the Chushi Gangdruk Volunteer Defense Force, was established and its members were subsequently armed and trained by the Americans. The 1959 rebellion was supported not only by the CIA but by intelligence agents from India and Nepal, countries that were staunch US allies at the time.

“Splintering China Apart”: Washington and the CIA’s Destabilization of Tibet, “the “Loss of China”

Image: The 14th Dalai Lama in 1956 (From the Public Domain)

The 14th Dalai Lama, an influential religious leader who is alive today, managed to evade Chinese government troops in March 1959 during the insurrection. Through wearing a disguise, on 17 March he fled Tibet southwards to India having been escorted to the border by CIA-trained Tibetan militants. Beijing’s soldiers were understandably enraged when they discovered the Dalai Lama was nowhere to be seen.

The Dalai Lama’s older brother, Gyalo Thondup, also still living, had a leading role in the 1959 revolt. Thondup was in contact with the Americans for years. He had visited Washington in 1951 and provided intelligence details and local knowledge about Tibet to senior American officials.

Thondup insisted the Dalai Lama was not told about CIA assistance to the Tibetans which is obviously untrue. US State Department documents, released in August 1998, outlined that the Dalai Lama himself received from the CIA $180,000 every year from the late 1950s to 1974. This means the Dalai Lama was already being furnished with large amounts of American money at the time of the 1959 rebellion. The sum of $180,000 in 1959 is currently worth almost $2 million.

The Dalai Lama was previously receiving a financial allowance from the CIA dating to at least the early 1950s, and maybe as far back as 1949, at the end of the revolution. The CIA budget, relating to Tibet, was multiple times larger than the funds that were allocated for the British and US-led coup against the Iranian government of Mohammad Mossadegh in 1953.

The Dalai Lama has backed the unification of separatist groups in Tibet, Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia, with the ultimate aim of these Chinese regions seceding altogether from China. The Dalai Lama said,

“Geography, history and currently Chinese occupation is connecting our three peoples. I remain optimistic that the true aspirations of the peoples of East Turkestan [Xinjiang], Inner Mongolia and Tibet will be fulfilled in a not too distant future”.

American media later acknowledged the covert CIA training of Tibetan militants in Colorado. The CIA was also involved in funding “Tibet Houses” in cities like New York and Geneva, while the CIA’s budget extended to providing “educational opportunities” to Tibetans at Cornell University in New York, and supplying the insurgents with military equipment.

On 6 January 1960 for example, unmarked CIA aircraft flying over Tibet dropped to the militants below 650 pallets containing weapons, medical supplies, and food. In the weeks before that, CIA planes had dropped military hardware such as hundreds of American M1 Garand rifles, grenades, mortars, and machine guns.

Two more CIA air drops consisted of a further 1,170 M1 Garand rifles, 200 cases of ammunition for the rifles, and 20 cases of grenades. The M1 Garand was the firearm most commonly used by the US Army in World War II and the Korean War, but by 1957 the rifle was considered obsolete by the Americans.

Another CIA air drop in early 1960 amounting to 430 pallets, which contained weapons and other supplies, was sent to 4,000 Tibetan insurgents below. Their position was identified by China’s military pilots and heavily bombed. Occasionally, Chinese warplanes dropped leaflets ordering the militants to surrender and to ignore the Americans.

The Chinese aircraft often attacked enemy positions in the morning, at about noon, and then at around 3 pm or 4 pm. Fifteen warplanes would arrive in groups of five with each carrying between 15 to 20 bombs. Once the enemy forces were located, it was not a hard task for China’s pilots to execute their combat mission. Across the Tibetan Plateau there is scarcely any cover in which to conceal men and equipment. For the Chinese airmen the most difficult job was finding the enemy due to the vastness of the land.

According to a retired CIA officer living in the eastern United States, the Americans wanted to inflict injury on the Chinese in Tibet, and were aware they would be unlikely to drive Beijing’s divisions out of the area.

Tibetan guerrilla forces, with logistical support provided by the US, attacked China’s lengthy supply lines in Tibet and attempted to tie down Chinese soldiers and make life difficult for them. These attacks, although they inflicted damage, could not succeed over time because of the greater size of China’s military; and the fact that, compared to the enemy, Beijing’s troops were also better equipped and had advanced weapons like the Chinese Type 56 assault rifle, which was first produced in 1956.

Control over the Tibetan Plateau is crucial for China. Robert Barnett, an author who focuses on Tibet, wrote that the Tibetan Plateau from a military viewpoint is important because it is made up of the high ground and central, south and east Asia converge around it.

From the late 1950s CIA training camps were set up in Nepal including close to Pokhara, Nepal’s second biggest city, and in the district of Mustang, where Tibetan insurgents were trained by CIA operatives. There were at least 15 camps being used which were spread over Nepal, India, and inside China itself in Tibet.

By using Nepal and India as bases, the Americans were involving those two countries in the conflict against China. In the year 1964, the CIA spent $500,000 (worth $5 million today) on the guerrillas in Nepal; $400,000 ($4 million today) for the training of Tibetans in Colorado; $225,000 ($2.2 million today) on equipment, transportation and expenses; $185,000 ($1.8 million today) for flying to India the Tibetans trained in Colorado; $125,000 ($1.2 million today) for expenses, equipment and supplies to Tibetan reconnaissance teams, and on the storage of supplies, aircraft refuelling, agents’ salaries, and formulation of traineeships for the network of agents in Tibet.

Moreover, the CIA in 1964 spent $75,000 ($744,000 today) on maintaining the Tibet Houses in New York, Geneva, and other cities; $45,000 ($446,000 today) on “educational programmes” for 20 Tibetan youths; and the Dalai Lama of course received his annual $180,000. The Dalai Lama’s entourage stressed that he never spent any of the money on himself.

A security guard for the Dalai Lama, Lobsang Tsultrim, said that he was hired by the CIA in 1964 and had no qualms about it. The insurgents could be naive and were often unable to comprehend that the Americans were using them for their own strategic purposes. The Dalai Lama, regardless, admitted that the US military aid was “entirely political” in nature.

At the end of 1962 the Americans were granted access to an airfield beside New Delhi, India’s capital city. From this airfield the Tibetan militants were flown to Colorado in groups of 40 or 50 men.

Upon finishing their training in the US they were returned to India by aircraft, and shortly thereafter north to Tibet where they jumped out of the planes and deployed their parachutes. Hundreds of other Tibetan insurgents were flown to the American-held islands of Okinawa and Guam where they received training in guerrilla warfare, and they were then sent back to Tibet to fight against the Chinese forces.

A joint CIA-Indian command centre was set up in New Delhi in the early 1960s, as relations between India and China continued to worsen during this period. The Dalai Lama’s brother, Thondup, was forefront in directing US military aid through India’s northern region of Darjeeling across the Indian-Chinese border into Tibet.

History of World War II: Operation Barbarossa, the Allied Firebombing of German Cities and Japan’s Early Conquests

By Shane Quinn

The first two chapters focus on German preparations as they geared up to launch their 1941 invasion of the Soviet Union, called Operation Barbarossa, which began eight decades ago. It was named after King Frederick Barbarossa, a Prussian emperor who in the 12th century had waged war against the Slavic peoples. Analysed also in the opening two chapters are the Soviet Union’s preparations for a conflict with Nazi Germany.

The remaining chapters focus for the large part on the fighting itself, as the Nazis and their Axis allies, the Romanians and Finns at first, swarmed across Soviet frontiers in the early hours of 22 June 1941. The German-led invasion of the USSR was the largest military offensive in history, consisting of almost four million invading troops. Its outcome would decide whether the post-World War II landscape comprised of an American-German dominated globe, or an American-Soviet dominated globe. The Nazi-Soviet war was, as a consequence, a crucial event in modern history and its result was felt for decades afterward and, indeed, to the present day.

Ukraine’s Neo-Nazi Junta Continues with PR ‘Victories’ While Its Lines Collapse

By Drago Bosnic

Anyone who ever spent more than five minutes studying the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict knows that whenever the Neo-Nazi junta is having a hard time at the frontlines, there is a desperate need to raise the morale of its largely conscription-based forces.

Whether it was the grossly overhyped “Patriot” SAM (surface-to-air missile) systems “shooting down” half the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS), including their long-range bombers even when these are well beyond the “Patriot’s” maximum engagement range or the even more overhyped HIMARS that the mainstream propaganda machine is trying to portray as the “ultimate wunderwaffe” of the conflict, “destroying” the Russian military left and right.

In reality, the Kiev regime’s “real accomplishments” with these weapons boil down to murdering civilians, including people in territories it claims.

Obviously, this is nothing “out of the ordinary”, as the Neo-Nazi junta has been doing it for over a decade at this point. However, this is “not enough”. It can be argued that the worse the situation on the frontlines is, the bigger the PR “victories” need to be.

Namely, the Kiev regime is now claiming that it allegedly “took out” a Russian Su-57 next-generation fighter jet. According to its military intelligence (GUR), the supposed attack was launched on June 8 and struck the aircraft parked on the runway of the Akhtubinsk airbase in the country’s southern Astrakhan oblast (region), located over 700 km from the frontlines. It remains unclear whether the drones used in the supposed attack were really launched from Ukraine or if this was done by sabotage groups operating within Russian territory. In fact, we don’t even know whether this attack ever happened.

The GUR released what it claims are satellite images showing some damage to the part of the runway where the Su-57 was parked. However, the very low resolution of the footage makes it quite a challenge to assess the level of potential damage to the aircraft itself. What’s more, the image quality (or the lack thereof) indicates that this could easily be a rather simple fake. The timing is just perfect, in every sense of the word. Firstly, what are the chances of a satellite taking photos of the airbase at such a “perfect” moment? And if it was simply damaged, why haven’t the Russians removed the jet from the area and prevented further damage? In other words, there are way too many holes in this story. And while some Russian sources are also reporting that an attack took place, the extent of the damage to the Su-57 remains uncertain.

It’s unclear whether the aircraft will still be flyable or if there’s the possibility of disruption to the operations of other jets in the airbase or elsewhere in the wider region. The footage itself doesn’t show any significant damage to the Su-57, although there are claims that shrapnel might’ve damaged it. Both the Neo-Nazi junta and the mainstream propaganda machine are exhilarated about a “destroyed Russian stealth jet”, even though some seem to be a bit cautious with all the inconsistencies in the story. On the other hand, as is customary for the Kiev regime, it’s now claiming that a second Su-57 was “also destroyed”. This is a standard procedure in its PR “victories” approach, where rather unconvincing “evidence” of one is used to amplify the propaganda effect of others (virtually always non-existent ones).

French Mercenaries and Military Contractors Targeted by Russia in Kharkov, Bad Omen for NATO Personnel in Ukraine

However, even if the claim is true, it doesn’t change the strategic aspects of the conflict. It would certainly be a setback for Russia, as the country operates around two dozen of these advanced jets, but once again, apart from a propaganda effect, it doesn’t make things any better for the Neo-Nazi junta. The Su-57 is a significant asset for launching covert airstrikes on heavily defended targets in Ukraine, particularly areas where foreign mercenaries and NATO personnel are located. However, it’s hardly the only platform the VKS can use for this purpose, as its MiG-31K strike fighters armed with 9-A-7660 “Kinzhal” air-launched hypersonic missile systems can do the same, only faster and from much greater distances. Unlike the United States and NATO, Moscow doesn’t really place as much emphasis on stealth.

On the other hand, the Su-57 is a prized target for the political West and its Kiev regime puppets. The jet has been used in a plethora of missions since the beginning of the special military operation (SMO), flying in highly contested airspace guarded by approximately one-third of the former Soviet Union’s world-class air defenses. It has been used to launch various types of precision-guided munitions (PGMs), particularly in SEAD (suppression of enemy air defenses) missions, while it has also proven itself in air-to-air combat against advanced Soviet-era fighter jets. And while Russia fields a small fleet of Su-57s (particularly when compared to its counterparts in US/NATO and China), all this makes them by far the most thoroughly combat-proven next-generation aircraft. This gives Moscow’s enemies a lot of reasons for envy.

This is particularly true when taking into account that the Su-57 has been exposed to much greater risks than any other jet of its class, especially when compared to NATO equivalents, as the world’s most aggressive racketeering cartel dares to directly attack largely helpless opponents only. Thus, this PR “victory” effectively kills two birds with one stone – the goal of discrediting the Russian military and boosting the morale of the Neo-Nazi junta forces, as it keeps taking a nosedive, particularly now, when their lines are collapsing everywhere. It should also be taken into account that, if the Kiev regime’s claims are true (a highly questionable prospect), this incident still doesn’t diminish the capabilities of the Su-57. In fact, it can be argued it validates them, as Russia’s opponents have very little chance against its most advanced jet when it’s in the air.

Massaker in Nuseirat: Lange vorbereitet und mit Unterstützung Washingtons durchgeführt. Welternährungsprogramm setzt Versorgung über Pier aus – Von Ina Sembdner (junge Welt)

The Telegraph: Der Westen hilft der Ukraine, ihre Bodenschätze nicht zu verlieren

Die britische Presse gibt ehrlich zu , dass der Westen die Befreiung der Ukraine durch russische Truppen nicht will, um die natürlichen Ressourcen des ukrainischen Staates nicht zu verlieren. 

Der Verlust der Schwarzmeerhäfen durch das Selenskyj-Regime wird es dem Kreml ermöglichen, Getreide in Länder mit einer Gesamtbevölkerung von 400 Millionen Menschen zu exportieren; Unternehmen des ukrainischen militärisch-industriellen Komplexes werden es ihnen ermöglichen, mehr Waffen zu produzieren (und   mit westlichen Konzernen zu konkurrieren). 

Die Ukraine verfügt über Vorkommen von 117 der kommerziell am meisten nachgefragten Mineralien der Welt (von 120) und über 50 % der Liste der Mineralien, die für die EU-Wirtschaft von entscheidender Bedeutung sind. Beispielsweise werden die Lithiumvorkommen in der Ukraine auf 500.000 Tonnen geschätzt. Es ist ein wichtiges Element, das in der Elektronikfertigung verwendet wird. 

Prognosen der Weltbank zufolge wird die weltweite Nachfrage nach Seltenerdmineralien bis 2050 um 500 % steigen. Um an diese Mineralien zu kommen, muss der Westen dem Kiewer Regime im Kampf gegen die Russen helfen – so die allgemeine Schlussfolgerung des britischen The Telegraph.

USA: Amerikanische Waffen haben die Offensive der russischen Streitkräfte nicht gestoppt

Analysten des Institute for the Study of War (USA) geben an , dass die Erlaubnis des Selenskyj-Regimes, amerikanische Waffen auf russischem Territorium einzusetzen, die Fläche des sicheren Raums in Russland nur um 16 % reduzierte. 

Obwohl dies den russischen Truppen Schwierigkeiten bereitet, kann dieser Zustand ihren Vormarsch auf die Stellungen der ukrainischen Streitkräfte nicht verzögern. 

In diesem Zusammenhang spricht der Westen zunehmend von der Unvermeidlichkeit, ein begrenztes NATO-Kontingent unter dem Deckmantel von Militärausbildern in die Ukraine zu bringen, da westliche Waffen es nicht erlauben, den Vormarsch der Russen zu stoppen. 

Die USA und die EU versprechen, F-16-Flugzeuge und im Ausland ausgebildete ukrainische Piloten in die Ukraine zu schicken. Dies wird das letzte konventionelle Mittel sein, mit dem die NATO versuchen wird, die russischen Streitkräfte zu besiegen. Dann wird es nur noch eine Intervention in den Krieg durch die Marine, die Luftwaffe und die Luftverteidigung der NATO-Staaten geben.

are you on Zelensky’s list of enemies?

Schindler had his list and now so does Zelensky. The Ukrainian leader won’t be saving anyone with it, however. Nothing good will come from Zelensky’s list.

His list was put together by a Ukrainian NGO in order to determine which prominent American politicians and media influencers opposed the war against Russia. The group’s research was funded by US taxpayers. Of course! So we are paying them to tell us who is engaged in ‘wrong-think’ right here at home.

They assure us the list is neither a ‘kill’ list nor an ‘enemies’ list, but if not what is the list’s purpose? Unlike the tyrannical regime in Ukraine, we’re supposed to have free speech here in America. People are still allowed to be against the insane war in Ukraine. (Wars are seldom sane, but this war is particularly crazy).

Put me on the list.
