My point in bringing up General Bernardis and Italy’s role in Arab Spring is to connect my “follow the money” efforts with the crises born out of militarism on the Great Game’s chessboard. Libya was a continuation of the profitable war that ended with Iraq in shambles and was about to end in Afghanistan. As Obama’s PR team prepared to benefit from that latter pullout, the Pentagon and Washington think tanks were pleased to see the convenient villain Muammar Gaddafi being overthrown. As we see now, the destruction of the Libyan chess piece led directly to Syria moves. Bernardis is but one of many high-ranking military officers who have admitted the military industrial complex role in all the killing.
The warmongers among the military and political elite of the deep state are even more evil. If the reader can recall sound bites and memes from 2011 until now, frames of Hillary Clinton laughing about killing Gaddafi mix with the Twitter tweets of four-star General Wesley Clark proclaiming, “We’re going to take out 7 countries in 5 years: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan & Iran” to drive home the dire circumstances in Syria.
The public statements of these elite politicians and militarists, along with those of their elite industrialist cronies, outline in no uncertain terms the aspiring global empire’s plans for world domination.
Fast forward past the 2016 election fiasco, and more recent news from the head of the United States Central Command, General Joseph L. Votel, tells of the top command structure under President Donald Trump selling war and American boots on the ground in Syria.[33] So, the extenuation of US wars that materialized with the no-fly zone over Libya has not disappeared with the change of presidents.
To find out the truth, the world has looked to people like Vanessa Beeley on the ground in Syria. An honest, brave and determined witness, Vanessa unmasked the terrorist liars and infiltrators that had been evangelized and used as sources by BBC, the New York Times, and the rest of the West’s mainstream media.
Why I do what I do
by Vanessa Beeley
We are all being lied to on a daily if not hourly basis. The power of the apparatus producing those lies from the State aligned media, NGOs, Think Tanks and associated institutions is immense and has now infiltrated social media on a massive scale. For decades now we have been undergoing an insidious and destructive Gaslighting process, a known CIA torture procedure, designed to erode our trust in our own ability to judge situations and to determine fact from mass produced fiction.
My desire to break out of this paradigm of lies and manipulation was perhaps my primary driving factor. This is combined with a personal journey through the confidential papers and diaries of my father, Arabist, Sir Harold Beeley, middle east advisor to Ernest Bevin and British Ambassador to Cairo among other postings in the ME. The level of injustice being levied against nations that stand in the way of neocolonialism and US coalition hegemony in the ME and globally is profoundly disturbing and once witnessed or experienced, cannot be ignored and must be shouted from the rooftops, for all our sakes.
It is our duty as human beings to defend the rights of human beings worldwide to determine their own future and to protect their history, culture, and civilization from hostile, external forces that depend upon the vulnerability of these proud, honorable nations to ensure their own invulnerability worldwide.
“You cannot play with the animal in you without becoming wholly animal, play with falsehood without forfeiting your right to truth, play with cruelty without losing your sensitivity of mind. He who wants to keep his garden tidy does not reserve a plot for weeds.”
Our own conscience must dictate to us, the extent to which we devote our lives to combatting what threatens to ensnare us all into complicity with ethnic cleansing and mass murder being conducted by our governments against prey nations across the world.
Chapter XI: The Clandestine Network
“The Kremlin Trolls were never motivated by Putin or Russia, but by the West’s stupidity, and the evil that flows from it.”
Looking back from the viewpoint of people like Vanessa Beeley, I am amazed at just how smoothly the anti-Russia narrative congealed into a global strategy and an expanded confrontation. In 2010 the “plan”, if I may, began to take shape with Arab Spring spawning a series of large scale conflicts. Then the “west’s” intentions for creating what amounted to a “Ukrainian Spring” became evident about the time the puppets Yulia Tymoshenko and Yuriy Lutsenko were imprisoned back in 2011 and 2012. I mention this to help the reader understand the scope and nature of our efforts to counteract the false narrative. You see, no matter how broad the view any of us has had, all the pro-Russia activism has been regional at one time or another. My own perspective is from the widest possible point of observation simply because I attempt to take it all in on a daily basis. My investigating, analysis, and reporting tends to be about “hot spots”, or breaking news. But Vanessa, Graham Phillips, and most of the others are immersed in the localized conflicts, whereas The Saker, Bausman, Dr.Michel Chossudovsky at Global Research, along with me and other independents tend to bounce back and forth in efforts to contravene the globalist narrative and media/policy strategies on the broader field.
Some readers will recall the allegations that Vladimir Putin’s government built a network to include all of us “trolls” and many more. I’ll admit right here that part of my reason for writing this book is to show how ludicrous this assertion is. The way the “Kremlin Troll” network works is so disorganized and fluid that if Putin did create it, then he’s otherworldly in his intellect and power. By way of a simple explanation, the way the journalists “source” investigators like Beeley, Phillips, and others mirrors the disconnected way in which social media works overall. In short, the dissemination of fact and opinion is far too random and situational to be orchestrated. What most people fail to understand is that social media is almost completely unpredictable. The only aspect that can be predicted at this stage, is the probability somebody will react to a given instance. As an example, if Turkey shoots down a Russian fighter plane over Syria, it’s a safe bet Beeley will have some role in commenting on the fate of the pilots and that an analyst like me may “tweet” or otherwise share that comment. Among the so-called Kremlin Trolls, no one has more experience than me in either operating in, or understanding how to manipulate social media. Being an early adaptor[34] to virtually every social media platform that ever existed, I have a special understanding of how these communities operate, but more importantly how corporations, businesses, and even governments can make use of them (or even fail to). Our public relations business revolves around social media marketing, and from a professional standpoint I can tell you, corporate and governmental understanding and utilization of this communicative medium are infantile. There’s no need to dive off into a digital media study here. The reader just needs to understand that traditional communicators are walking like pigeons in a realm they are ill equipped to control. Neither the east nor west has a good grip on the pulse of society in this regard. The method western operators use to “boost” their messages, is to throw some funding into influencer efforts. As for Russia? There is no recognizably cohesive effort, just to be honest. While there are highly skilled social media professionals working at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation or at a network like RT for instance, they are completely disconnected from one another. Furthermore, Russian media agencies may exert an overall Russia positive voice, but connectedness within these agencies is as scatterbrained as any western counterpart. This is a function of human nature and of the nature of large competitive organizations worldwide. I have numerous communiques at the highest levels that indicate this competition and even an envy in Russian media that rivals Hollywood. Any suggestion counter wise is obtuseness or an outright lie. Let me explain why.
