COMMENT

That was my challenge for the day: trying to focus on the tangled web of influence in the Clinton camp.

Not sure that this summary has helped me enormously, as I'm just an average, not too bright, person.

What struck me about this is that taxpayer money (in my view) should not be going back to any religious (ie POLITICAL) groups, particularly in what is supposed to be secular society.

It doesn't matter to me that like kickbacks go to other religious (ie POLITICAL) groups.

I don't think host societies should be funding political (or personal) ambitions of groups that represent interests of outsiders to the host nation.

Found myself wondering why the Clinton deputy chief of staff isn't Anglo-American or European (ie Huma Abedin, Islamic Indian-Pakistani), and why there seems to be so few Anglo-Americans in American politics.

If I were the purported 62%, I would want to know why (a) my demographic has dramatically dwindled and (b) why my institutions are dominated by those that are not Anglo-Americans or those of European origin.

I'm sure that if the demographic of the Turks in Turkey had dwindled to 62% and if the country and its institutions were dominated by those that are not Turks, the Turks would have cause for concern. However, the Turks aren't fools, and whatever you might think of Erdogan, at least Erdogan promotes Turkish interests.

I don't know what kind of scam the Clinton Foundation is, but it sounds like some kind of scam to me. The sums of money being put through that are obscene, and the network of interconnecting shifty NGOs is mind-boggling. The average person would have a hard time getting a handle on all these NGOs, the influence, and the money moving through them. The average news reader who doesn't follow this very closely, would have no hope of seeing the bigger picture when it comes to American political figures and their various connections.

I'm with the Saudis on stopping the sue-the-government law when terrorists strike. I think that's bullsh*t, and so is suing banks. The responsibility lies with terrorist groups, and this is just another American ambulance-chaser money-making scam.

Israel Shamir: Turkey Coup Attempt & White House Coup



TURKEY

http://www.unz.com/ishamir/the-people-will-decide-in-turkey/

The People Will Decide in Turkey
Israel Shamir • July 19, 2016


The most striking feature of the failed Turkish coup has been the people’s response. The plotters did their routine right: they seized the broadcasting station, they sent a sortie to kill the president, they stationed troops in the vital points, they rolled out the tanks. They calculated everything but the people’s response. As the president survived the attempt on his life, he had made the mobile phone streaming call to the nation urging people to get out and decide their future for themselves.

At first, thousands, then tens of thousands, and even hundreds of thousands of ordinary men and women dared the army and took to the streets and the squares in response to the call of their almost deposed president. They elected him just a few months ago, and they weren’t going to let the army steal their vote. This massive popular uprising-for-the-government broke the will of the plotters. Thus history has been made in Turkey, by direct action of the people.

Amazed by the epic fail of the putsch, Erdogan’s enemies concocted a “hoax coup” conspiracy story. In the pro-Zionist Al-Monitor, a Turkish expert asked accusingly: “Why did the putschists — knowing that Erdogan was neither in Ankara nor Istanbul but instead spending his vacation in the Mediterranean seaside town of Marmarisnot move to detain him?” However, now we have this video of the armed soldiers dropping by ropes from their helicopters and storming the hotel where the president stayed – some thirty minutes after he left. The plotters moved but not fast enough.  [COMMENT:  al-Monitor, based Washington DC, launched 2012 by Jamal Daniel, Pres. Texas Investment Co. (managing energy  & other interest) / Marmaris = south-eastern Turkey ]

Anyway people had no reason to think the coup was a hoax in real time. They had a rough choice: they could get out to the streets supporting the president, or sulk at home. They went out to support Erdogan. This was the best kind of election, immediate democracy, and Erdogan won that election. [comment:  LOL ... Turkey is far from democratic.  But there's no democracy anywhere.  It's either capitalist dictatorship with phoney elections or it's an overt and brutal dictatorship like Turkey's a dictatorship.  Wonder if the Turkey election was faked?    ]

Despite State Secretary Kerry’s denials, the pointers are to Washington and Tel Aviv, and perhaps to Brussels as well. Turkish top brass has long been known for its pro-NATO, pro-USA and pro-Israel sympathies. The coup leader, the Air Force commander General Akin Öztürk served as the military attaché in Tel Aviv. Bekir Ercan Van, the commander of the Incirlik air base has been arrested after his request for political asylum in the US had been refused. If they had won, they would have been applauded and feted in the West. Yes, Virginia, there was a coup, and it failed.   [comment:  wow, really?  I was leaning towards the fake coup option.  Turkey was prepared to commit false flag activities in Syria, so why not a false coup to ensure no challenge to power of the Ottoman wannabes?   ]

The man behind the coup is allegedly Fethullah Gülen, once an ally of Erdogan but now his bitter enemy. It is claimed Gülen’s organisation Hizmet (Service) forms a “deep state” or a “parallel state” in Turkey and beyond, with millions of followers in all walks of life, something similar to free masons of old. The ex-FBI whistle-blower Sibel Edmonds described Gülen’s network as a CIA asset.

The Russians run afoul of Gülen by banning Hizmet’s activities in Russia in 2008. The Turkish F-16 pilot who almost changed the history of the Middle East by shooting down the Russian SU-24 bomber over Syria on November 24, 2015 (his name was Mustafa Hajruoglu, it was claimed by his Bosnian countrymen) turned out to be a Gülen follower and a putschist, said Ankara Mayor Melih Gökçek. His helicopter was shot down in Ankara. This is not an example of fast thinking: in March 2016, the pro-government newspaper Sabah suggested that the pilot of the F-16 was a Gülen supporter and acted upon his instructions. Whether Gülen had been hostile to Russia for his own reasons or followed CIA orders, he succeeded in causing enmity between Putin and Erdogan.

Apparently, the courageous Erdogan’s decision to apologise and make up with Russia had triggered the military coup. There were rumours in Moscow that the Russian Secret Service tipped Erdogan off some minutes before the plotters’ attack thus allowing him to escape to Istanbul. This is perhaps wishful thinking.

Russians were not very consistent in the Turkish affair. After SU-24 downing, Putin spoke of being “stabbed in the back”, and Russian state media with its numerous Armenians and Jews went into hysterical overdrive producing gigabytes of hatred-for-Turkey day after day, until ordinary Russians considered Erdogan their personal and vicious enemy. Russian nationalists dreamed the old Russian pipedream of seizing Istanbul, or Constantinople, as it was called five hundred years ago, and restoring it to Christendom, a dream as futile as that of restoring Cordoba to Islam. [comment:  lol ... Erdogan *is* the enemy of Russia.  While seizing Istanbul may be a pipe dream, Islam seizing Cordoba is not.  Stand by for the European Caliphate.   European capitalists are morons that should be overthrown at once.   ]

I wrote a few pieces in Russian calling for speedy reconciliation with Turkey and Erdogan; but my usual outlets refused to publish them. So they had to be published in rather marginal media. For freedom of speech, I am afraid, Russia is not better than the US[comment:  Sounds like a patriotic Russian press then?  Russia is the target of American capitalist thieves, who have already raped Russia in the early 1990s.  Anything Russia does to secure Russian interests is OK by me.   ]

When Putin agreed to reconcile, the Russian state media made an about turn pretty fast, and the ordinary Russians were happy and booked all seats on all flights to Turkey. They forgot their hatred on the spot. Just the grumpy old men in the social networks complained, baying for Turkish blood.  [comment:  got to be kidding, Russia.  I would never reconcile.  Do not holiday there.  Go to China.   ]

Israel was among the last of the states to call for constitutional order to prevail in Turkey, and even then, Netanyahu’s very brief message mainly concerned the ongoing normalisation of relations. His friend General Sisi, the military dictator of Egypt, went as far as to block a Security Council resolution condemning the coup. Quite natural, too, as he had come to power by overthrowing the elected president. 

However, what worked in Egypt did not work in Turkey. The Turks did not surrender their freedom and their right to decide. Now, after the putsch they are free to proceed with their choice. I was particularly impressed by their sacking of the judges, in their hundreds (755, to be exact). It appears that the Deep State, the subterranean societal structures built by security services and by Gülen’s Hizmet, invested a lot of effort in judges and in the mainstream media, in the two least democratic government powers, not only in Turkey.  [comment:  I don't know what side the judges are on, but it doesn't look really good if the government must purge 755 judges.  It's a dictatorship ... & the bearded head-chopping that took over the streets doesn't impress me as 'democratic'.  It was frightening. ]

Turkey’s Lesson

This brings the US elections to mind. Perhaps the people of America may take a lesson or two from the Turks, while Mr Donald Trump may take a lesson or two from the Turkish president. The Turks could teach you, my American readers: do not surrender to plotters. The power rightfully belongs to you; do not allow them to usurp the power.

The Turkish would-be usurpers were generals who moved their tanks, the American would-be usurpers are more sophisticated; they move banks, politicians, parties, media, justice; but they are usurpers all the same as they reject and subvert democracy.

Democracy means letting people decide; but there is a new class that usurps this right to decide. They place themselves above democracy. They are patronising and condescending to ordinary citizen. They speak to and about the people as the Turkish officers to Erdogan voters. They think they know better. They delegitimise another view. Rather, they do not consider the majority view as being legitimate at all. They think they are superior.  
[comment:  what they call 'democracy' is just one great lie, especially in America where the capitalist oligarchy controls politics.  Aside from the capitalist dictatorship factor, even if democracy were possible, why would you want a bunch of uninformed people (or ideologically duped voters) decide the fate of a nation.  The entire 'democracy' philosophy is an unworkable fraud, however you look at 'democracy'.  ]

This new class is not in the US only, they are everywhere. But for all their snotty arrogance, they can be beaten.

In the UK, the superior people pooh-poohed the suggestion to leave the EU. They said that only illiterate homophobe racist rednecks could vote for parting with the blessed rule of Brussels and with the right to receive millions of migrants from Poland and Turkey. Every opinion poll pointed to their victory for respondents were shy to admit they were sick of the EU and of Polish plumbers. But the English people weren’t shy to vote the way they wanted. And the would-be-usurpers were beaten.

They were beaten a second time when they tried to remove Jeremy Corbyn from his position at the helm of the Labour. Their attempted coup failed as miserably as the Turkish one. The mixture of heavily Jewish neocons, Blairites, upwardly-mobile-migrants attacked Corbyn daily in the Guardian, but the voters said: hands off.

In Russia there are superior people, too. They wanted to get rid of Putin; they hated the church he attended; they wanted to open Russian resources to the foreign interests. The Russian superior class is more candid; they can’t keep their mouth shut. They said that majority has no legitimacy, because they are not sufficiently educated, not wealthy enough, too parochial. Still, the Russian voters supported Putin in the booth and they supported him on the streets.

And now it is America’s turn.
Your superior class decided Hillary Clinton should rule, for they do not trust a white man. Men are too independent. And they plotted, instead of honestly seeking your support.

We saw recently how the plotters got rid of Bernie Sanders. The votes of California weren’t counted yet, but the plotters already announced Crooked Hillary the winner. In every state, the rolls were changed in such a way as to preclude Bernie’s win. The old election machines allowed hackers to subtly alter the results. Perhaps good old Bernie himself was the Joker in the hands of plotters, the bent boxer who was paid to lose. Or perhaps he was a weak guy who could not withstand the pressure. Anyway the American plotters stole your vote as sure as the Turkish generals tried to steal the Turkish vote.

Now they are on their way to steal your vote by destroying Trump. The newspapers are at him like dogs besetting the bear at a royal hunt. No fair play for them; they are out to kill. In The New York Times, every piece on Trump is a poisoned arrow aimed at your mind. By going out against the basic rules of democracy, didn’t the owners and editors of Forbes, WSJ, NY Times et al prove to be latent putschists?

If they will fail to defeat Trump at the booth, they still have the judges. They are anything but impartial: they are the basis of the DeepState in the US as well as in Turkey.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, an unelected (Clinton-appointed) old hag dared to say: “I can’t imagine what this place would be — I can’t imagine what the country would be — with Donald Trump as our president”. This is a herem, a fatwa, a ban. This is a call to putsch in case of Trump’s victory. Do you think she will stop at anything to prevent Trump from gaining the White House? She and her cronies believe they are above democracy of hoi polloi.

She is not the only judge who deserves Erdogan treatment. Trump objected to a Judge Gonzalo Curiel for he is a member of La Raza (The Race), a body as exclusive as KKK or as B’nei Brith; still the Wall Street Journal would claim he objects to the judge’s ethnicity.
Forbes invented a long hair-splitting explanation i.e. ‘La Raza’ is a ‘nod to our common heritage’ or that it refers to “Latinos carrying forward the culture of Rome, based in beauty and harmony, in opposition to the Saxon – barbarian – culture based on violence and domination”, which is, in my view as racist as it gets.   [comment:  The entire thing is demented.  Why do Europeans subject themselves to this?  The only way to live is to live in a monoculture, or something very close to it.  America is my idea of a horror movie about mutants.   Japan is more my thing.   ]

It’s not that I mind racism or find it an unbearable fault. After all, racism is a middle name of every second Jew I ever met. But the duplicity is annoying: why the Forbes thinks that “Latinos are beautiful and harmonious, while Anglo-Saxon culture is based on violence and domination” is less racist than vice versa?  [comment:  LOL ... Forbes is a joke of a publication, spinning nothing but anti-European pro-destruction of European societies crap.  Ummm ... I was thinking Huffington Post.  Oops.  But Forbes is probably more of the same crap.  It looks like they're anti Trump.  Anti Trump is anti European. 


COMMENT / INSERT

Forbes published shameless propaganda, using not our opinion disclaimer shield to push this shite:

Roger Valdez:

"Today, there seems to be a similar and growing interest in studying Weimar Germany. The obvious reason is the popular conception of Donald Trump as a kind of nascent Hitler taking advantage of divisions for personal power. ... "

"... a perfect vacuum for a strong man with a clear, concise and simply ideology to step in whether from the right or the left. The extremes always have more certainty to offer people especially in times of foment. And Donald Trump has brilliantly called out differences between “us and them.” Like Hitler, he has talked about how trade deals have betrayed the American worker just the way Hitler blamed the establishment for stabbing ordinary Germans in the back at Versailles."

Funded By Seattle Real Estate Developers, Forbes Writer Attacks Amazon Critic
Posted on March 3, 2015 by Jeff Reifman


...  Roger Valdez’s column in Forbes today (How Jobs and Awkward White Men Are Destroying a City) in which he likens my criticism of Amazon’s overwhelming impacts on Seattle to racism against Chinese immigrants in the late 19th century. 


http://jeffreifman.com/2015/03/03/funded-seattle-real-estate-developers-forbes-writer-attacks-amazon-critic/


Amazon's a slave driver's organisation, so I'm cool with Amazon coming under criticism.  But the Reifman guy goes on to challenge Amazon re "Amazon’s white male-dominated culture", which sounds like the only positive thing going for Amazon.

Amazon being the slave-driving organisation that it is, I expect this culture is not by design but by default.

I'm pretty sure if some other group served the purposes of Amazon, they'd be in.


Why do Europeans allow themselves to be the subject of 'White Men' press assaults in their own societies?  Wake up.



If you insist, yes, ethnicity can influence a judge’s decision. In Israeli-Palestinian conflict, thousands of Palestinians were killed including American citizens, and no one received any compensation. But it is relatives of American Jews who collected $600 million of damages from the Palestinian authority. Is it a coincidence that the judge was Jewish?

Now everything depends on you. You can vote for Trump – but be prepared to go out to the streets in support of the legitimacy. Do not give in to usurpers. The Brits did it a few weeks ago by voting for Brexit. The Turks did it. You can do it, too!  [comment:  Americans are idiots if they don't vote Trump over the Clinton witch.  Unfortunately, Americans inclined to vote for a Republican are also probably now a minority in America, and are up against the ideologically brainwashed Democrat cucks and a large demographic with competing interests that has been granted political rights in the nation of the aforementioned.  Urging voters to hit the streets?  Ummm, I don't know about that.  Somewhere as f*cked up as the US seems to be, you'd have WWIII breaking out.   ]

COMMENT


I find this guy's articles interesting.

The failed Turkey coup is still an unknown to me.  I was thinking it was maybe a staged coup, so Erdogan can secure his position.

As I said above, what they call 'democracy' is ridiculous.

Turkey is far from democratic.  I wasn't impressed with the Islamists that hit the streets in Turkey.  I was terrified.

While voting for Trump might be better than voting for the vile Clinton woman, and while those that voted for BREXIT did well, the system remains sh*t and the ruling capitalists win no matter who is elected.

WikiLeaks: AKP E-mails Released (Erdogan Ruling Party, Turkey)




WikiLeaks


Turkey ruling party AKP e-mails released


If you go into a translation site like Google translate, you can key in a search term and translate it to Turkish:

CIA casus gözetim
CIA spy surveillance

Then you can pull up the e-mails that contain the search term & do translations of the e-mails.

I've found reference to the CIA's Gladio operation, where it refers to Turkish gunmen shedding more blood to lend legitimacy to some coup (I think); some of those involved were imprisoned and some sent abroad for new tasks.

That was about the second e-mail I looked at.  Sounds like a background sketch, filling someone in on history, or something like that.  Related to Ruzi Nazar, American-Turkestani scumbag who worked for the CIA against the Soviet Union.

Ruzi, with some fellow Central Asians, joined the newly formed CIA when the former chief of the Nazi military intelligence department, Reinhard Gehlen, changed sides [edit: betrayed his nation] - along with his network in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, the Caucasus and Central Asia.

Nazar took an active part in establishing two radio stations sponsored by the CIA near Munich: Radio Free Europe, which targeted Eastern Europeans and Russians, and Radio Liberty, which targeted the Muslim Central Asia and the Caucasus.

Hell Hath No Fury Like a Teflon Sultan
Military Coup Attempt in Turkey



Pepe Escobar


EXTRACT


Ankara’s official version is that the coup was perpetrated by a small military faction remote-controlled by exiled-in-Pennsylvania cleric Fethullah Gulen, himself a CIA asset. As much as responsibility remains debatable, what’s clear is the coup was a Turk remix of The Three Stooges; the actual stooges in fact may have been the already detained 2nd Army Commander Gen. Adem Huduti; 3rd Army Commander Erdal Ozturk; and former Chief of Air Staff Akin Ozturk.

As over-excited former CIA ops were blaring on US networks – and they do know a thing or two about regime change — rule number one in a coup is to aim at, and isolate, the head of the snake. Yet the wily Turkish snake, in this case, was nowhere to be seen. Not to mention that no top generals sounding convincingly patriotic went on the TRT state network to fully explain the reasons for the coup. 


[...]
 
The head of the snake must have been 100% sure that to board his plane and stay on Turkish airspace was as safe as eating a baklava. What’s even more startling is that the Gulfstream managed to land in Istanbul in absolute safety in the early hours of Saturday morning – despite the prevailing notion that the airport was occupied by the “rebels”.

Brief History - Illegal Iraq War 2003



ILLEGAL IRAQ WAR 2003
Jean B Lynch
Book:  "France in Focus:  Immigration Policies, Foreign Policy & US Relations"



Summary
[all info contained is from above book online preview]

Jean B Lynch
Book:  France in Focus:  Immigration Policies, Foreign Policy & US Relations



Info is from above source, but some of my own words in here (rather than direct extracts).
 

Lynch informs us that in the 1990s French govt began distancing from US policy in Iraq, when US & British capitalist serving governments began using military force on Iraq state (Saddam Hussein govt) to force compliance with 1991 Gulf War settlement.



France and other governments sought to lift international sanctions on Iraq, due to the 'deterioration of living conditions' imposed on the Iraqi inhabitants.  

Comment:  judging from the above interview of Madeleine Albright in 60 Minutes (an insert / not from book), the US-led economic sanctions were more than a 'deterioration' in conditions:  the sanctions were lethal.

Jean B Lynch reports that the Clinton administration and the Bush administration were strongly opposed to lifting of international sanctions.

2002 France eventual backed US goal to reinstate UN weapons inspections and UN Resolution 1441 mandated Iraqi compliance with weapons inspections.

By early 2003, the Bush administration was making allegations of Iraq concealing weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in 'material breach' of UN Resolution 1441, Lynch reports, giving the US (and their British capitalist allies) the 'justification' to use military force.

Meanwhile, the French government and the Germans argued that Iraq was not in 'material breach' of UN Resolution 1441.

French preferred an inspections regime, which they saw as sufficient to 'constrain' the Saddam Hussein government.  But, privately, some French officials were backing the US-Anglo capitalist pretext that Iraq was concealing WMD, Lynch indicates (minus the bit about US-Anglo capitalists).

US-French discord re Iraq early 2003.  US admin called for regime change in Iraq, going beyond the UN Resolution 1441.

Judging by the Lynch reference to democracy etc:  the US administration used the 'spreading democracy' pretext, which the Americans used in a series of hostile attacks on Middle Eastern states.

France and other governments, Lynch indicates, objected to these added regime change objectives, on the basis that 'sustainable reforms' could not be imposed by the west on Iraq and in other states.

US admin then had NATO provide Turkey with what it referred to as 'defensive systems' (but, I'm guessing these are really offensive equipment of war) and pulled US Balkan forces, replacing them with NATO member forces, freeing the US forces for conflict with Iraq.

The following objected in NAC (North Atlantic Council), which is described by Lynch as NATO's supreme political body:

  • France
  • Germany
  • Belgium
on the basis that granting the request (to militarise Turkey?) would:
  • de facto acknowledge Iraq had impeded UN weapons inspections (which was not proven)
  • AND THAT IT WOULD BE PRETEXT FOR WAR
according to Lynch.

Outcome:  German and Belgian governments relent; France defers the aid to Turkey decision to another NATO body in which France is not a member, which results (late Feb 2003) in a decision to provide 'defensive assistance' (comment:  ie military capabilities) to Turkey, according to Lynch.

The consequence was US criticism of France (and several other allies), who deemed (comment:  what is ostensibly) the anti-war France and Germany as the 'old Europe' and the pro-war Europe as 'new' Europe (Sec. of Defence Donald Rumsfeld), according to Lynch.

Germany & France refuse to back US admin draft UN resolution authorising military force against Iraq.  France and Russia each hold a veto and threaten to use same if draft resolution submitted, Lynch reports.

March 2003, Bush admin (comment:  backed by its British capitalist illegal Iraq war co-conspirators, under Labour PM Tony Blair), decide to go to war in Iraq without passing of the proposed UN resolution.  Opposed to this were:  France, Germany, Turkey (indirectly).

The war hawks were:  Britain, Italy, Poland, Spain.

April 2003 Iraq was [comment:  illegally] invaded by US and British forces.

US, who illegally invaded and pillaged Iraq, sought almost complete forgiveness of Iraq foreign debt.  Two principal governments to whom Iraq was indebted to were:  France and Germany.

Germany wrote off 80% of Iraq foreign debt, in excess of the 50% write-off that France had backed, due to Iraq's enormous potential for wealth from petroleum resources (and that other, poorer, nations would have benefited more from debt reduction), Lynch reports.

As at the publication of the John B. Lynch book, the following was owed to capitalist Western states by Iraq:

  • - USA, $2 billion
  • - Germany, $2.4 billion
  • - France, $3 billion
French refused to take part in the US-led multinational occupation forces in Iraq as France did not approve of the basis on which the US launched war on Iraq from and did not wish to be associated with the occupation of Iraq; however, it France offered to train Iraqi police in France, according to Jean B. Lynch.

COMMENT

Anyone who believes that the capitalists of (occupied) Germany and of France were seriously opposed to illegal invasion and war on Iraq is a moron.

The bet is that this was just for show, so as not to alienate their large Muslim populations and their various Arab trading partners and weapons customers or their strong unions and leftist 'peacenik' voters (but the Gulf Arab Wahhabi pals would have been good for an Iraqi invasion, so it certainly wouldn't have upset them).

French, German and US capitalists were owed billions by Iraq (in that order).  So French and German capitalists would have more interest in Iraq and more reason to want control of Iraq, or at the very least, interests in common with the US.

Turkey would have also been protesting for show. Turkey is going fundamentalist/Wahhabi and it would have been opposed to the secular socialist Iraq government, is my guess. Plus, it's in the Gulf Oil Wahhabi camp that wants to bring down Syria and would be therefore opposed to Iran (and associated), so an attack on Iraq would have probably been fine with Turkey (must do some more reading ... I'm really slack).

" ... Iraq was a resource grab targeting Iraq’s oil, as well as a money making exercise for mercenary companies, arms manufacturers, mega-corporations like Halliburton and its subsidiaries, and the banking cartels, Syria is different. Syria produces oil, yes, but nowhere near the scale that Iraq does.


Syria’s closeness with Iran and Lebanon’s Hezbollah will obviously stand out as a reason why the US, Israel, the EU, and the GCC want Assad’s government gone. But factoring in the Ba’ath Party’s three objectives of secularism, socialism, and pan-Arab unification, we see more ideological reasons, as well as the motivation for the militias operating under the Al Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood umbrellas."

Jason Langley

The forgiveness of national debt is something I don't fully understand, but I expect it is for an interest in the resources in the country, which they will exploit in future.

Why were the Italy, Spain and Poland capitalist representing governments so keen on an Iraq invasion?  The Italian and Spanish capitalist are imperialists from way back, but how does cucked Poland fit into this, I wonder?  Poland's been a poodle from way back in history, so maybe it's just more of the same poodling for capitalism?

Why are the Belgians backing the US?  Whatever happened to 'neutral' little Belgium?   Belgium needs some street rioting ... LOL
"Belgian Congo is often cited as one of the most brutal and exploitative colonial regimes in modern history" (Study.com).  Belgum maintained x3 colonies:  Belgian Congo (DR Congo), Ruanda-Urundi & some portion of China.  Of the Belgian empire, about 98% was just one colony:  the Congo.  Considered as personal property of King Leopold II.  Belgian colonisation supported by Western countries as Belgium was seen as a 'useful buffer' between colonial powers in Africa [wikipedia].  Congo yielded:  ivory, rubber.  Belgium appears to have had extensive attempts to colonise (or uninitiated plans to colonise) various locations across Africa, South America, Central America, Caribbbean, North America, Asia, Oceania and even in Europe.

All this colonialism and capitalism primarily benefits the capitalist elites, while the European masses get ripped off ... and flooded with invaders from capitalist colonial outposts.  Not much of a deal for the European working class.

Clinton's call is just PR propaganda.  There's no need for her to be making any calls.  She hasn't a government position.

"Leaving office after Obama's first term, she wrote her fifth book and undertook speaking engagements before announcing her second presidential run in the 2016 election." [wikipedia]

So she's unemployed.

The Stratfor Shadow CIA are full of sh*t:

"In this view, the ruling Justice and Development Party, or AKP, headed by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a reformist group credited with defanging a prickly military that mounted three coups between 1960 and 1980, delivering to the country a vibrant democracy."
