The story of the murder of Seth Rich, for those who may have forgotten. This is a most significant case where US-Russia relations are concerned, because this is where the false accusation against Russia of having interfered in the 2016 presidential election originated. This prevented Trump from improving relations with Russia as he intended to do. He wound up putting a lot of sanctions on Russia just to prove he was not a "Putin puppet". But in his second term, he has broken free of such deep state propaganda and is free to radically change US policy toward Russia. I'm not so sure about Seymour Hersh. I certainly agree with him that it was Rich that turned over the information to Wikileaks. But I really don't think Seth's murder was a "botched robbery" as he and the FBI apparently agree. I think it was personally ordered by Hillary Clinton. We will find out more if Kash Patel succeeds in getting the FBI documents released today.

THE COMING ATTACK ON IRAN - RECALLING THE 2011 ATTACK ON LIBYA

The gathering of enormous US military forces in the seas and territories around Iran, and the relentless rhetoric from the neocons and their media allies as they press for another regime change war, this time against Iran, inevitably recall regime change wars past.

This made me revisit an article I wrote back in 2011 in the aftermath of the successful regime change war in Libya. I reproduce it complete below.

What struck me on re-reading my 2011 Libya piece is how neocon propaganda barely changes.

There was the same rhetoric in 2011 about ‘heroic protesters’ that there is today. At the time I wrote my piece it had not yet been revealed that the anti-Gaddafi protests in Libya had been engineered by the foreign powers - essentially the US and its friends - who sought and eventually succeeded in overthrowing him. That fact is mostly undisputed today. Today, in the case of Iran, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent openly boasts that it was the US that caused the financial crisis that was the purported ...

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad !

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
