    Thanks Sam, for getting the thread back to this line of thinking...

    I've run across this James Comey connection to HSBC bank - by far the most corrupt bunch of people in that world. Patrick Henningsen is one of my favorite journalists - a former Info-warrior - made a good move in going on his own.

    Wow - that last link to the video... it should belong on this thread as well... a good follow-up to Paul Joseph Watson's video (on the previous page).

    I find it ironic that so many Americans are into naked Donald and yet are highly offended by the below image of Hillary (from a now painted over mural in Australia). And it is also interesting that so many find joy in the below image yet are offended by the naked Donald sculptor. It is amazing how our partisan political mindsets have warped our ability to be fair and equitable in our judgement.

    Metaphysically speaking...

    Every human being consists of both the good, the evil, & all shades of gray in-between. The reality of the situation is that most people are unwilling to accept the fact that they consist of both good & evil. Rather, most want to identify only with those qualities / aspects that are deemed to be good. As a consequence of developing this type of psychological mentality is that if one accepts themselves only as in identifying with those aspects that are on the good side of the good/evil spectrum, where will the bad go? Where will the bad parts of oneself find a harbor?

    On an unconscious level, with the bad parts of one's own self being rejected, the unaccepted bad stuff will end up being projected onto others. The bad will be seen in others... The rejected bad will not be seen in oneself, but will be seen in others, it will be perceived to manifest outwardly in the world outside of oneself. Like wearing a pair of tinted colored glasses, one will be seeing the bad stuff that others think & do - not looking at one's own self, but at others.

    This is normal human psychology. The bad is seen in others - a man or woman that walks down the street, in a particular race, in a color of the skin, of a particular nationality, of a particular gender, of a particular social class, on a level of one's accumulated wealth, etc.

    So in effect, if one is going to vote for any individual, any politician, any human being, one will be voting for the good & the evil that is contained in that person that closely displays those similar attributes that you identify with, or would like to identify with.

    Try, as you can, to find an individual that is wholly good, and that search will be in vain, because there is no such person that exists. Because, when an individual has attained that peak in their evolution of consciousness - they end up altogether leaving this physical plane of existence.

    So, take your best shot, as nobody is perfect - neither perfectly good, nor perfectly evil.

    EXCLUSIVE – Bernie Sanders Blasts Billionaires,
    Has Unreported Ties to George Soros

    By Aaron Klein
    26 Jan 2016
    Self-proclaimed socialist and presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders presents himself as a warrior battling the wealthiest one percent, especially investment bankers and billionaires.

    Breitbart News has found, however, that Sanders’ economic policies have been molded in part by experts with deep ties to top one-percenter and billionaire George Soros.

    In 2011, Sanders convened what he referred to as an “expert advisory panel” to help draft legislation for Federal Reserve reform in the wake of a damning top-to-bottom Congressional audit of the U.S. central banking system.

    Sanders’ panel of experts was stacked with economists tied to Soros. One prominent member advocates a “new economic order” no longer dominated by the U.S., while another is the leading proponent of the “shock therapy” economic doctrine of radical economic transformation deployed at times to detriment in Eastern Europe.

    Last July, Sanders convened another panel of economists to advise the Senate on the Greek and international debt crises. The panel consisted of many of the same Soros-tied experts.

    New Global Economic Order

    Sanders’ 2011 panel on Federal Reserve reform included Nobel Prize-winning Columbia University economics professor Joseph Stiglitz, a proponent of substantial government regulation of the economy.

    Stiglitz has been involved in numerous projects with Soros and serves on the boards of numerous Soros organizations, including the billionaire’s signature Open Society Foundation.

    Stiglitz conducted teach-ins at Occupy Wall Street, which was reportedly launched by the Soros-funded Adbusters magazine.

    It is instructive to note that Sanders is backed by a coalition calling itself “People for Bernie,” which states it consists of “veteran grassroots organizers of Occupy Wall Street, and are joined by many energized brothers and sisters we have met along the way.”

    Stiglitz, meanwhile, also served in President Bill Clinton’s administration as a member of the presidential cabinet of advisers and chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers. He was credited with helping to define an economic philosophy referred to as the “third way,” which holds that business and government should be “partners,” while recognizing that government intervention cannot always correct the limitations of financial markets.

    Discover the Networks criticized the theory thusly: “In short, Big Business would own the economy (as under capitalism), while Big Government would run it (as under socialism). Corporations would be persuaded to comply with government directives through subsidies, tax breaks, customized legislation, and other special privileges.”

    On Sept. 17, 2010, Stiglitz delivered a lecture to the Swiss and Global Asset Management group accompanied by a Power Point presentation – reviewed in full by Breitbart News – calling for a “New Global Economic Order” in which the world is “no longer dominated by one ‘superpower.’”

    Stiglitz has criticized President Obama as being “too conservative” to assert a progressive economic vision, and “too afraid to take the bold kind of action that President Roosevelt took” during the Great Depression, MSNBC reported.

    ‘Shock treatment’

    Stiglitz is an active member on the board of the Institute for New Economic Thinking, or INET, an organization that seeks nothing less than to remake the global economy. INET was founded with a $25 million five-year donation from Soros.

    In April 2011, Stiglitz was featured at INET’s annual summit, which takes place at the same hotel that hosted the 1944 Bretton Woods economic conference, which sought to reconstruct the post-World War II international monetary system.

    Other INET members served on Sanders’ 2011 economic advisory panel, including the keynote speaker at the 2011 Bretton Woods conference, Columbia University economist Jeffrey Sachs.

    Sachs serves on the INET board and is associated with Soros and Stiglitz.

    Sachs famously coined the “shock therapy” economic doctrine, which he helped to deploy internationally in countries including Bolivia and Poland.

    Critics charge that Sachs’ doctrine led to economic turmoil in some countries where it was deployed.

    The Wilson Center argued:
    A side effect of shock therapy in Russia and in Latin America has been to weaken legal institutions by degrading the powers of the legislature and extending the use of executive decrees. This serves to de-legitimize state power, erode the democratic basis of state authority, undermine the fiscal capacities of the state, and, thus destabilize the political system over the long term.

    In every case since 1985, when it was first employed in Bolivia, shock therapy has caused either major constitutional changes or declarations of states of emergency that suspended normal democratic procedures, where it resembles more of a revolutionary than a legal process. It can fundamentally alter the nature of the political system in new democracies.
    Sachs was the narrator of a 2009 audio book entitled “George Soros and Joseph Stiglitz – America: How They See Us.”

    Stiglitz has other Soros ties that trace back to Sanders’ economic panel. Stiglitz served as the chair of the U.N.’s Commission of Experts on Reforms of the International Monetary and Financial System, a commission that included other Soros-tied economists, such as Robert Johnson.

    Johnson was on Sanders’ economic panel and served as the managing director of Soros Fund Management. Johnson sits on the boards of the Soros-funded Economic Policy Institute, or EPI, and the Institute for America’s Future.

    Also on the board of the Soros-financed EPI is former Boston University law professor Jane D’Arista, who served on Sanders’ economic panel.

    Aside from Stiglitz, Sachs, Johnson and D’Arista, other Soros-tied economists on Sanders’ 2011 panel of experts included:
    - Lawrence Mishel, president of the Economic Policy Institute.
    - Nomi Prins, a senior fellow at the Soros-funded Demos, a progressive think tank where President Obama’s controversial former “green” jobs czar, Van Jones, has served as a long-time fellow and is currently a board member.
    - Dean Baker, co-director of the Soros-funded Center for Economic and Policy Research and former senior economist at the Soros-financed Economic Policy Institute.
    Meanwhile, last July, Sanders convened a panel of three economists to discuss the Greek debt crisis. Stiglitz was on the panel, which assembled at the Hart Senate Office Building.

    War on billionaires

    The great irony of Soros’ ties to Sanders is that the presidential candidate’s stated economic policies would target the billionaire’s wealth. Sanders’ presidential campaign focuses on income inequality. He has set his sights on the likes of the uber-wealthy billionaire Koch brothers while failing to mention that what he calls the “billionaire class” also includes progressive funders like Soros and Bill Gates.

    Bernie’s recipe to fix “economic inequality” is to force multi-millionaires and multinational corporations to pay their “fair share” in taxes by removing tax loopholes and tax breaks that benefit only them, in addition to raising tax rates for the “rich.” These tax reforms, he claims, would allow for expansion of “social safety net programs.”

    Sanders explained his plan last April: A constitutional amendment to limit corporate campaign donations; legislation that would end off-shore tax havens where corporations “stash” their money and profits; do away with corporate tax breaks; break up Wall Street firms that are “too powerful to be reformed”; lift the cap on the amount of earnings subject to taxes for a retirement fund; and enact a progressive estate tax to increase estate tax rates on the top three-tenths of one percent of Americans who inherit more than $3.5 million” while “eliminating loopholes that have allowed the wealthiest Americans to avoid billions in taxes.”

    “We’ve had a conservative media in this country for a while,” says the email, sent Thursday and signed by deputy communications director Christina Reynolds. “I don’t always like what they have to say, but I respect their role and their right to exist Reynolds’ acknowledgment that the regular conservative media has a “right to exist,” though, is used to contrast it with Breitbart, which apparently has no such right. “Breitbart is something different,” she says. “They make Fox News look like a Democratic Party pamphlet. They’re a different breed altogether — not just conservative but radical, bigoted, anti-Muslim, anti-Semitic conspiracy peddlers who never have been and never should be anywhere near the levers of power in this country.”

    One of the goals of Clinton’s campaign, Reynolds says, is to ensure Breitbart is destroyed.

    Honestly, I see that image as a complement to H. Clinton.. Her legacy is so much darker. This member of the "top 10 power couples" has been a plauge on the US for over 3 decades now & is blatantly pulling every obvious string possible to swing the public into buying the fact that she will win (which I have nearly no doubt, so far)... as long as the masses think it was possible, it worked.

    At least, that's one way I could view it.

    Or, I can look around; observe where I currently live and wonder: how much does this actually mater?

    I dunno, my experience is RIGHT NOW. The rest is just kind of hard to worry about any more.

    Leaked Memo Shows Soros Pushed
    Greece To Support Ukraine Coup, Paint
    Russia As Enemy




    by Tyler Durden
    Aug 19, 2016 7:30 PM

    Last week we reported on the DC Leaks hack of what was over 2,500 documents detailing how George Soros and his NGOs influence world leaders, drive foreign policy, and help to create unrest in sovereign nations, that many times leads to chaos and civil war.

    One country of particular focus for George Soros and his NGOs is Ukraine.

    It is now accepted fact that Soros was deeply involved in the Maiden protests in 2014 and the violent coup, that saw a democratically elected government overthrown in the name of “EU values”.

    What is even more troubling, as revealed by the DC Leaks hack, is how Soros and his network of “non-profit organisations” worked to lobby EU member states into not only buying his Ukraine “Maidan” narrative, but to also disavow any ties and support for Russia.

    Leaked documents show that George Soros was active in mapping out the Greek media landscape with generous grants, so as to further his Ukraine project, while also using his deep pockets to get Greek media to turn against the Russian Federation…in what can only be described as a well-funded and orchestrated smear campaign.

    In one document entitled: “Open Society Initiative For Europe (OSIFE). Mapping the Ukrainian debate in Greece” (Ukraine and Europe-greece-tor ukraine debate mapping greece.docx), Soros offers a consultant a remuneration of $6,500 (gross) for “at least 15 full working days in carrying out this task” plus all expenses paid.

    The aim of this task:

    – 6 newspapers,

    – 6 internet sites,
    – About 50 opinion leaders and trends in social networks[1].

    Categorize the main strains of discussion and eventually identify different sides / camps of the discussion.

    Provide a brief account of how Russia has tried to influence the Greek debate on Ukraine through domestic actors and outlets

    Include a section with recommendations on
    – What are the spaces OSF should engage and would most likely to have impact?
    – What are the voices (of reason or doubt) that should be amplified?
    Open Society Initiative For Europe (OSIFE) selected Iannis Carras for the Greek media mapping grant. The justification why he was chosen…
    All contracts were for the same amount. We needed to find highly specialized researchers to map the debate on Ukraine in Europe, therefore we identified a shortlist of candidates in consultation with colleagues in the Think Tank Fund, OSEPI and in consultation with members of the OSIFE board and chose the most qualified who could produce the report in the time allowed. In the case of Greece we agreed that Iannis Carras, an economic and social historian of Balkan and Russian relations with expert knowledge of Greece’s NGOs and social movements, was the best suited to the task.
    What is even more interesting is not the grant from OSIFE, but a letter from grant winner Carras to a person named Mathew (another Greek speaker???), outlining his plan in detail for pushing Soros’ Ukraine agenda in Greece.

    Of significance is how Carras tells Mathew about Greek society’s overall suspicion of The Open Society after the roll in played in seeding unrest in Yugoslavia. Carras even tells Mathew to not mention The Open Society in Greece.
    “Do you want your name to appear alongside mine on the paper? Do make comments on all of the below.

    In general, and at your discretion, do not say you are doing this for Open Society because it is likely to close down doors. There’s a lot of suspicion about Open Society in Greece, mainly because of its positions vis-à-vis the former Yugoslavia. As I am simultaneously writing an article for Aspen Review Eastern Europe that can be used as the organisation for which research like this is taking place.”
    Carras then goes on to outline his approach in manipulating Greek society, covering topics such as:
    1. Media.
    2. Political parties and think tanks
    3. Opinion polls.
    4. Business relations.
    5. Religious and cultural ties.
    6. Migration and diaspora.
    7. Greece and Ukraine in the context of Greece’s economic crisis.
    8. Greece, Ukraine and the Cyprus issue.
    9. Names and brief description of significant actors: a ‘who is who?’ with information on at least 50 opinion leaders
    Carras notes how Russia has much goodwill in Greece, exercising “signifiant soft power”. Carras notes that Greece is, at this moment, a weak player in the Ukraine debate and the Greek Foreign Minister Kotzias realises this.
    Summary: I am working on the hypotheses largely born out by the interviews carried out so far that Russia has significant soft power in Greece though this does not easily convert into hard power (e.g. vetoing EU sanctions). Greeks are basically not very interested in Ukraine and the crisis there. They reflect and understand that conflict through their own economic crisis and their relations with Europe (nowadays primarily Europe and not US). To the extent that relations with Europe remain the focus and do not go off the rails, Greece will bark but will not bite. If they improve, Greece might not even bark (as can be seen with Greece’s policy on Israel, Kotzias can be very much a realist).
    Carras does warn that should Greece’s economic situation deteriorate further, than Greece may very well look to Russia for support, and this has implications on the Ukraine plan.
    If they deteriorate however, Greece will be looking to Russia for increased support and will alter its Ukraine policies accordingly. Do you agree with these hypotheses? Can you find confirmation for or against them in the media outlets examined?
    Carras places extra emphasis on influencing the media in Greece, citing various large news outlets that the Soros NGO can target, including approaching left wing and right wing blogs.
    This is the bulk of the work (we have to think about how to divide the work up). We have to provide a ‘who is who?’ with information about at least 6 newspapers, 10 audio-visual outlets (TV and radio) and 6 internet sites. Some of these will be obvious, but, even in these cases, change over time (at least eighteen months) is an important consideration. Here are some suggestions for newspapers: Kathimerini, Avgi, Ta Nea, Vima, Efymerida Syntakton, Eleutherotypia, Proto Thema, Rizospastis? etc. What else? Protagon? Athens Review of Books? (info on Kotzias). As for TV, we’ll just do the main ones. What about left wing blogs? What about commercial radio stations? I think we should cover Aristera sta FM. Sky. What else? Anything from the nationalist and far right? My choice would be Ardin (already looking at this) which at least tries to be serious. Patria is even more unsavoury. I’ll deal with the religious web sites in the culture and religion appendix. I think we should interview Kostas Nisenko (http://www.kathimerini.gr/757296/article/epikairothta/kosmos/viaih-epi8e...) and Kostas Geropoulos of New Europe to get into the issues involved… not at all sure though that it’s advisable to talk to the Russia correspondents Thanasis Avgerinos, Dimitris Liatsos, Achileas Patsoukas etc. (I know all of them). Also if we come across articles with interesting information on any one of the topics, we should mail them to one another.
    Attention is placed on influencing political parties. Carras sees this as a more difficult task, as parties in Greece would not be warm towards turning their back on Russia.
    Who if anyone deals with Russia / Ukraine within each of the political parties? How important are political parties in formulating policies? (my hunch is totally unimportant). I must admit I have little idea of how to proceed with this one, but I have written to the academic Vassilis Petsinis and I hope I’ll get to skype with him soon. Think-tanks are easier, and, I think, more important. I have already interviewed Thanos Dokos (director Greek foreign policy institute, ELIAMEP) in person.
    Carras notes how he has approached various religious leaders, academics and actors, to gauge a sense of how deep Russia’s influence and “soft power” runs in Greek society and culture.
    So far I have interviewed by telephone Metropolitan John of Pergamum (one of the top figures in the inner circle of the Istanbul based Ecumenical Patriarchate). I have read Metropolitan Nektarios of the Argolid’s recent book (2014), “Two bullets for Donetsk”. I have tried but so far not succeeded in contacting Metropolitan Nektarios himself, and have started work on two of the main religious news websites romfea.gr and amen.gr .

    With respect to culture I intend to contact Georgos Livathinos, leading director of Russian and other plays and Lydia Koniordou, actress. Also the management of the Onassis Centre, particularly Afroditi Panagiotakou, the executive vice-director who is quite knowledgeable in this field having travelled to both Ukraine and Russia.

    In 2016 Greece and Russia will be hosting each other as the focus of cultural events in the two respective countries. I will be looking to understand the extent to which Russia’s unparalleled cultural soft-power might translate into Greek policy making.
    Greek military is the final point of influence, with Carras interviewing Ambassadors and policy decision makers.
    Foreign policy and the Greek military. So far I have interviewed in person Ambassador Elias Klis (formerly ambassador of Greece to Moscow, advisor to the current Foreign Minister, advisor to the Greek Union of Industrialists. He is perhaps the single most important person for understanding Greek-Russian diplomatic relations at present). Ambassador Alexandros Philon (formerly ambassador of Greece to Washington, to whom I am related). Captain Panos Stamou (submarines, extensive contacts in Crimea, also secretary and leading light of the Greek-Russian historical association) who emphasised the non-political tradition of the Greek armed forces. Tempted to talk to Themos Stoforopoulos for a nationalist left wing view. I have also read foreign minister Kotzias’ latest book. All of this has provided me with useful insights for appendices 7 and 8, and particularly for the connection to the Cyprus issue (which at the moment Greece is very keen to downplay).
    Carras places an emphasis on Cyprus, perhaps recognising the islands affinity to support Russia and its large Russian diaspora community.
    The recommendations will be for the medium and the short term, cited here based on interviews carried out so far. Medium term recommendations will include a cultural event (to be specified later) and a one-day conference on Ukraine and international law, citing precedents for dealing with the situation in Ukraine (particularly Cyprus). Recommendations may include capacity building for local Ukrainian migrant spokesperson(s). Short term recommendations will include an action pack on what Greece has at stake in Ukraine, and ways to narrate parallels in interactions between nation and empire vis-à-vis Greece / Ukraine. Think about whether these work / what else we might recommend?

    Finally we note that the incredible furore being raised about Paul Manafort's 'exposure' to Ukraine is a joke when one considers it was George Soros (above) and Hillary Clinton (see chart below) that was really pulling all the strings behind the scenes...

    Soros Paid Al Gore MILLIONS To Push ‘Aggressive US Action’ On Global Warming
    by Michael Bastasch

    Liberal billionaire George Soros gave former Vice President Al Gore’s environmental group millions of dollars over three years to create a “political space for aggressive U.S. action” on global warming, according to leaked documents.

    A document published by DC Leaks shows Soros, a Hungarian-born liberal financier, wanted his nonprofit Open Society Institute (OSI) to do more to support global warming policies in the U.S. That included budgeting $10 million in annual support to Gore’s climate group over three years.

    “U.S. Programs Global Warming Grants U.S. Programs became engaged on the global warming issue about four years ago, at George Soros’s suggestion,” reads a leaked OSI memo.

    “There has been a budget of $11 million for global warming grants in the U.S. Programs budget for the last several years,” the memo reads. “This budget item captures George Soros’s commitment of $10 million per year for three years to Al Gore’s Alliance for Climate Protection, which conducts public education on the climate issue in pursuit of creating political space for aggressive U.S. action in line with what scientists say is necessary to put our nation on a path to reducing its outsize carbon dioxide emissions.”

    It’s unclear what year the memo was sent, but the Gore co-founded Alliance for Climate Protection (ACP) was established in 2006 and lasted until it became The Climate Reality Project in July 2011. In 2008, the Alliance launched a $300 million campaign to encourage “Americans to push for aggressive reductions in greenhouse gas emissions,” The Washington Post reported.

    ACP got $10 million from the Open Society Institute (OSI) in 2008, according to the nonprofit’s tax filings. OSI handed over another $5 million to ACP in 2009, according to tax filings. The investigative reporting group ProPublica keeps a database that has OSI tax returns from 2000 to 2013. The DCNF could not find other years where OSI gave money to ACP.

    OSI is primarily a grant-making nonprofit that hands out millions of dollars every year to mostly left-wing causes. Now called the Open Society Foundations, Soros’s nonprofit has handed out more than $13 billion over the last three decades.

    OSI didn’t only plan to fund Gore’s climate group to promote global warming policies in the U.S., OSI also planned on giving millions of dollars to spur the “youth climate movement.”

    Ahhh good ol' "global warming"... Some "expert Psychotherapist" is blaming "Global Warming" for the rising rapes in Sweden, too! (not soaring Muslim immigration), - see Post #60 on this thread:

    https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...over-the-world

    (The original zerohedge page reporting on that has already been removed .

    (Fulford has done an interesting few paragraphs about the origins & purpose of the Global Warming/Carbon Tax Scam in his latest post, extracted from here):

    http://operationdisclosure.blogspot....attle-for.html

    Quote The elite members of this group tried to stop the planned massacre of “useless eaters” by proposing a carbon tax to raise funds to pay poor countries to preserve and expand their forests. The top people behind the global warming faction were from members of European aristocratic and royal families who supported Christian as opposed to Satanic ideals. They lost the power struggle in 2000 when their man Al Gore had the Presidential election stolen from him. The main problem with this group was that they created a lie about carbon-caused global warming to promote their tax. Their carbon trading scheme was also riddled with fraud.
    -----
    However, the leadership group that put Francis in power is still pushing for world domination through a carbon tax controlled and collected in secret by them. They will not succeed with this scam because it is based on lies and remains fraudulent.
    Sad thing is, so many sheeple will fall for it, and it will become the new imaginary scapegoat for bad behaviour (Hillary's lies included?? ).

    (Hopefully, these new "insights" about Soros may change that. )
