"If only we had half a Putin" - divesting power - grounding peace - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 22 Jan '20

22 Jan '20

Peace and politics - they don't usually go together. But you don't usually have a putin at the helm of your state. We could be so lucky in Australia to have half a Putin. Alas we have pocket lining dunderheads, morons and some genuinely sociopathic compromateds. As the Western media scrambles to paint every cough and pause by Putin in the maximum possible nefariousness, at least we can look afield on occasion and get a betterer backstory: Russian political earthquake: Putin sets out plan for Kremlin departure & Medvedev resigns https://www.rt.com/op-ed/478381-russian-government-resignation-mishustin/ ... Today, the president set out the roadmap for his exit from the Kremlin, more-or-less kicking off the build-up to the transition of power. He will step down in 2024, or perhaps even earlier, and he intends to dismantle the “hyper-Presidential” system which allowed him to wield so much control in office. ... Make no mistake, Putin’s goal is to preserve the system which he inherited from Yeltsin, and then tweaked. For all its faults, after a difficult birth it has given Russians the greatest freedom and prosperity they have ever known. Even if much work remains to be done on distributing economic gains more fairly. ... One notable suggestion is that future presidents must have lived in Russia for 25 continuous years before taking office, and have never held a foreign passport or residency permit. This would bar a lot of the Western-leaning Moscow opposition from running. Not to mention a large swathe of Russian liberals, a great many of whom have lived abroad at some point. Interestingly, if this rule had existed in 2000 Vladimir Putin himself wouldn't have been able to become Russia's president. He lived in Germany from 1985-1990 (albeit on state duty). ... Thank you, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.

CIA agents sell 20 tonnes of plastic explosive to Libya, nearly decade before discotheque bombing
by Ryan Carboni 22 Jan '20

22 Jan '20

https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Arms_for_Libya The Arms for Libya case ensued when a gang of CIA deep state operatives were caught shipping a huge amount of weapons and explosives to Libya. Edwin Wilson was hung out to dry by Ted Shackley and the rest of the cabal. After a FOIA request revealed the CIA knew perfectly well what he was doing, he was released after about 17 years in jail. He was never given compensation and those responsible for the cover up were never brought to justice. Before his 1980 retirement, the CIA Inspector General John H. Waller produced an internal investigation which exonerated Theodore Shackley and his "career-long deputy and sidekick" Thomas Clines. This was the CIA's official story for about 20 years, endorsed by Waller's successor, the #3 man in the CIA, Charles A. Briggs who was called on to testify in Edwin Wilson's court case. The CIA had blocked the defense from gaining access to any contradictory paperwork, so the jury apparently believed the (perjured) 'Briggs Declaration' which said that Edwin Wilson has independently collected almost the entire US stockpile of C-4 (plastic explosive) and arranged to fly it to Libya, all without CIA knowledge, following up by sending US troops to train of Muammar Gaddafi's military in bomb making, and sold them a bunch of other weapons. This official narrative fell apart about 20 years later when an internal document surfaced which proved that the CIA Inspector Generals had been lying. Frank Terpil was tried and found guilty in absentia. Douglas Schlachter plead guilty to two charges in a plea deal, after providing testimony directly linking Wilson to "senior Central Intelligence officials" (presumably Ted Shackley and his sidekick Thomas Clines, who in 1981 both admitted that they had kept in touch with Wilson, though they denied knowing anything about the arms deals). Edwin Wilson was hung out to dry and charged as the main culprit. CIA officer, Edwin Wilson, brokered a number of weapons deals to Libya. Michael Ruppert wrote that Wilson lived in Libya "for extended periods between 1977 and 1981". The most extraordinary of these deals was in 1977, when a 42,000 pound load of C-4 plastic explosive (an amount which represented almost the entire US domestic supply) was flown out of Houston International Airport to Muammar Gaddafi's Libya, followed by training in bomb making by US Green Berets. Subsequent deals involved handguns and other weapons. A scheme to ship more than a thousand M16 rifles to Gaddafi put the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms onto Edwin Wilson back in late 1977. After about 17 years in jail, FOIA requests by Edwin Wilson came across some internal paperwork which proved that those involved in the case knew that the "Briggs Affidavit" was a lie. These sufficed to allow Wilson to successfully appeal his conviction. In October 2003, his conviction on the explosives charge was overturned and Wilson was released from prison on September 14, 2004. He launched a legal claim for compensation against those who perjured evidence against him, and those who knowingly stayed silent on the matter, but they were granted legal immunity and he never received compensation.

The CIA did a lot of dirty things. All the Russians have to do is expose them. What the CIA did would bring down the American government ten times over.

https://nitter.net/bronzeagemantis/status/1219492244933226504 Mercy is an act of power! Morality is a luxury! Beauty and status are the inevitable goals of the worthiest highest ranking members of society! Hopefully the leading members of the international Satanic sex cult will be fairly prosecuted. Unfortunately despite the Nuremberg principles being advanced by American prosecutors, it has not entered American common law. Maybe at least the authorization of military force against the Hague will be repealed. International slavery or pedophilia does count as a crime against humanity, and various treaty violations are in a sense crimes of some sort, even if those may never be prosecuted.

Oligarchical collectivism and understanding the Fabian window. For those who missed the memo, a half hour comparo of Orwell and Huxley, their relationship, and the Fabian Society and its Oligarchical Collectivism. Understanding The Fabian Window https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/understanding-fabian-window http://www.alt-market.com/index.php/articles/4066-understanding-the-fabian-… In the video below, Truthstream Media discusses one of the most dangerous and ideologically insane root organizations of modern globalism and the "new world order - The Fabian Society. The Fabians are notorious for their obsession with incremental tyranny and the erasure of individual and national sovereignty. Though other organizations like the Council On Foreign Relations have now taken over at the forefront of the globalist effort, the Fabians were the foundation, the beginning of the modern push towards an everlasting totalitarian empire ruled by the elites. Understanding their history and tactics helps us to understand exactly what is taking place today. ...
