Hiding Epstein’s ties to Israel; new nuclear danger as New START ends; Palestine Action acquitted in London, poised to protest Herzog in Sydney, The World This Week. Watch the replay.
Host: Joe Lauria. Guest: Patrick Lawrence. Producer: Cathy Vogan.
In Epstein files recently released there is an email from Epstein to Melanie Spinella dated 10 December 2014 which reads as follows:
“grats, charity, herzog, ehud coming to island this weekend. come …”.
There is little doubt that “ehud” is Ehud Barak, whose close relationship with Epstein is well known, and has sparked wide speculation that Epstein was a Mossad asset who worked closely with Barak in that capacity.
The question which demands an answer for Australia is whether “herzog” is the current president of Israel, Isaac Herzog, given that Herzog is now in Australia on a state-sponsored visit.
The reason is obvious, and must be answered.
A great discussion about authoritarian government responses in Australia concerning Herzog’s imminent visit. Australians, indeed, are not afraid of making their displeasure known, albeit to the extent that pervasive mainstream media propaganda allows. Of interest is a University of Sussex (England) study into projects in Tasmania, which is described as ‘elite cartel corruption’, whereby political groups (from both major parties), business leaders, and media collude to promote showcase projects despite community opposition or adverse expert advice. The same corruption applies to information about Israeli genocide of Palestinians or American complicity in the Ukraine/Russia conflict.
I wonder if herzog will be questioned about this on his visit:

Excerpt:
“Professor Peter Stanley, a military historian at the University of NSW Canberra, emphasised the significance of the destruction. “The Gaza cemetery is as valued and as cared for as any cemetery in the world: an enormous amount of sentiment and emotion has been invested in maintaining these cemeteries as sacred places,” he stated.
“For Australians, a serious consequence of this conflict is the desecration of the graves of Australian soldiers. That might not be major in the global scheme of things, but it is definitely something Australians should be concerned about,” Professor Stanley added.”
“Abolishing juries”. That’s getting into the realms of fascism.
The Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty was and is meaningless – a fig leaf of pretense of the US. As you metnioned, ‘saint’ Obama requested and was able to ‘modernize’ our already obscene arsinal. The existing NPT should be renewed, whether or not the US signs. It is long past time for other countries to coalesce and sanction the US … while insisting on and monitoring disarmament. De-militarization. It has and is the threat of the US coupled with its history that has kept others from taking these steps. This may be the moment for couragous and moral actions by other countries. the US will certainly not lead in any such endeavor.
George W. Bush announced that he had given India secrets of manufacturing nuclear weapons.
What about that? Has India made nuclear weapons?
A general intelligence brotherhood with an intentional loyalty complicity as the glue due to intentional devised risk as initiation rite.
As a long-time seasoned grass-roots political person my experience is – one does not need piles of money, one needs people who trust you and are prepared to work with you to bring about change. And, if successful you must keep the people working with you and not abandon them for your own new-found power, as almost all politicians do. One has to prove to the community that you are fighting for their rights . If you keep involving the people in organising with you always for the benefit of all in your community. then you will enjoy their trust.
It is people power that is your power. If you all work hard together, you can win against all odds. “United we stand divided we fall”. Get to it! Lots of people and hard work! So many people are so capable of doing all sorts of things it will amaze you. We can do it! Throw out those pretentious governments and pretentious Oppositions we can no longer afford to tolerate!
Without any meaningful campaign finance reform or limits to the money spent on the BOOB TUBE, we will never get a functional government. It’s the VOTERS who put Mr. Dump in office! Voters don’t elect politicians they select an entertainment option.
The voting public was not given a reasonable candidate in any of the last 3 elections. That’s why we have Trump.
Of course money plays a major role in our election choices and access to real information about the candidates.
