Why Did #Hitler #Invade #Greece & #Yugoslavia?

WITH HIS HANDS FULL FIGHTING BRITAIN, AND WITH SOVIET FORCES MASSING NEAR GERMAN BORDERS, WHY DID HITLER INVADE GREECE & YUGOSLAVIA?

By Mike King

Germany controls Northern Europe, but is still vulnerable from the South and East.

Some Background Information:

In the Spring of 1940, the British had been chased out of Europe at Dunkirk (allowed to escape by Hitler) and France soon signed an armistice with Germany. For wartime defensive purposes, Germany continues to occupy Northern France, Holland and Belgium. Bases have also been established in Norway and Denmark (in response to British maneuvers aimed at establishing bases in those nations).

Germany has a peace offer on the table; an offer to end the war and withdraw its troops from all occupied territories (except the Prussian territory reclaimed from Poland). Churchill will hear none of it! Britain continues to bomb Germany while urging the Soviet Union to get involved. The cunning

The Great #British #Brexit #Farce

Matthew JAMISON

With the shock High Court Ruling on Thursday November 3rd that the British Government of Theresa May cannot trigger Article 50 without the consent and hence a vote in both the elected House of Commons and the unelected House of Lords, the Great British Brexit Farce has taken an even more surreal turn than I ever could have imagined. At this rate, the British people, the rest of Europe and the world are never going to hear the end of that truly ghastly non-word Brexit.

How typical of the British, they cannot even organise an efficient and orderly exit which they themselves voted for. Even Nigel Farage, the arch English nationalist and scourge of all things EU, has conceded with untypical understatement: «We (the UK) are in a bit of a pickle». Quite. Never mind the damage this has done to the pound sterling. The UK’s international reputation as a serious, grown up, rational player is taking tremendous hits day after day. Perhaps this is what Mrs. May wanted with regards to the High Court Ruling. There was no reason why Article 50 could not have been triggered immediately after the referendum result became clear on June 24th or the repeal of the 1972 European Communities Act.

There is nothing to prepare for with regards to triggering Article 50. Article 50 is merely a notification, which begins the process of exiting. Until Article 50 is triggered there can be no negotiation with regards to the formal process of the UK exiting the EU. Triggering Article 50 is merely the formal inter-governmental mechanism for registering that the UK intends to leave the EU and with it would like to enter into the two-year negotiation process. Until Article 50 is triggered the UK remains a part of the EU and a full member, with all the rights, privileges and obligations that membership entails.

LONDON (Reuters) - Buckingham Palace scolded Rupert Murdoch's top-selling Sun tabloid on Saturday for publishing a previously unknown film from 1933 that appears to show Britain's Queen Elizabeth performing a Nazi salute as a young girl.

The black-and-white film from the year Adolf Hitler came to power purports to show future British king Edward VIII instructing his nieces, the current monarch Elizabeth, aged about six or seven at the time, and her three-year-old sister, Princess Margaret, how to perform the Nazi salute.

What should be expected from another five years with David Cameron's Conservatives in power in the United Kingdom?  Colin Todhunter summerises: "What the UK now has in store is five years of an ideologically driven administration that will push through its welfare-cutting, pro-privatisation policies wrapped up in talk of a need for austerity and presided over by a millionaire-dominated cabinet which represents the interests of the richest echelons of global capital." In addition to austerity, more attacks on privacy are envisaged with the "snooper's charter", otherwise known as the Draft Communications Data Bill, which Binoy Kampmark describes as "the usual spawn of a misguided security establishment."

Ganó el Primo de la Reina

Porque nos imaginamos que si están tan pendientes del nacimiento de la princesa británica, deben también estar interesados en sus elecciones.

David William Donald Cameron ganó las elecciones. Cameron es Primer Ministro desde 2010 (para los “demócratas” latinoamericanos pro-EE.UU. esto sería una dictadura).

El resultado de las elecciones fue sorprendente, incluso provocó la renuncia de los tres líderes de los partidos perdedores entre ellos el de Nigel Farage de UKIP.

Cameron líder del partido conservador desde 2005, es primo de la reina Elizabeth II al ser descendiente directo de William IV. También es onceavo primo por segunda generación de su esposa Samantha Cameron por descender los dos de James I.

Su tatarabuelo fue la cabeza del banco HSBC (ya sabemos que hace este banco) a finales del siglo 19 y trabajó junto al imperio de los Rothschilds para financiar la guerra ruso-japonesa.

Con esto vemos que todo queda en familia y seguimos siendo gobernados por la misma elite de siempre.

“It Doesn’t Quite Feel Right”: The British Election Result

By Binoy Kampmark - Global Research

So fell spin doctor par excellence Alastair Campbell on the BBC’s commentary regarding the exit poll from the broadcaster.  The temperature in various party rooms wasn’t quite right either. According to the Beeb’s prediction, the Tories would be increasing their numbers to 316 seats, with Labour getting a reduced 239 when all the results would be in.  Another prediction then followed: the conservatives would be able to govern in their own right, heaving past the majority line.  Others suggested that the exit poll was “incredible” and “unbelievable”, a sort of forecast from distant Narnia.  Treat it with “caution”, claimed the First Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon.

The attempt to “splinter” the conservative bloc from the UK Independence Party side did not materialise.  Having ridden a wave of anti-European and anti-immigration protest, the conservative attempt to chew some of that fat from the reactionary side of politics may have neutralised what seemed to be an ominous threat. Poundland Powellism may not have yielded Nigel Farage the numbers he wants, but UKIP has left a large, and very persistent stain of suspicion on the landscape.[1]

The splintering did take place, though it assumed the form of a withering devastation for Labour in Scotland at the hands of the lady deemed the “Tartan Terror”.  Shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander was butchered in the vote, as was Jim Murphy, the Scottish Labour leader.  Sturgeon will be thrilled, with the Scottish nationalists posed to become the third largest power bloc at Westminster.

The Liberal Democrats, the ill-fated coalition partners of the Tory party, were given a predictable mauling by an unforgiving electorate, with an outcome that will probably yield it eight seats.  It had held 57.  Its former leader, Charles Kennedy, lost his seat to the SNP in Ross, Skye and Lochaber.  Business secretary Vince

From opening paragraph:

"....Arthur Greenwood member without portfolio in the British War Cabinet, assured the Jews of the United States that when victory was achieved an effort would be made to found a New World Order..."

THE SETTING:

Germany is in total control of the European war situation. The French have signed an armistice with Germany and are out of the war. The British army has been forced to evacuate the continent at Dunkirk (Hitler had graciously allowed them to escape). The Soviets and Americans are not in the war, and Hitler has a very generous peace offer on the table for Britain.

As they had during their losing days of World War I, British politicians reach out to international Jewry for

I wrote to Helen in South Africa asking if the movie "Chappie" was an accurate portrayal, and got a surprising response: 

"Sorry for late response, loadshedding is a b..ch. 

SA is falling apart. It always has been though, the PTB are taking whatever they like, always did, that is why they started the Boer War; with Cecil Rhodes filling his pockets, the locals were rounded up and put into camps by the invading British; since then settlers have been used to point fingers at.

An alleged victim of a high level sex ring claims that a Conservative MP killed a young boy during a depraved sex party that was attended by the rich and powerful of England in the 1980’s.

The site of the former Elm House Guest House in Barnes, where abuse is alleged to have taken place

The recent scandals emanating from Great Britain involving high level politicians, businessmen and celebrities (see Jimmy Savile) provide us a glimpse of the dark, twisted world of the occult elite. One of their favorite kinks : Preying innocent children, violating them in horrific ways and feeding on their youth as if it was a source of life force. These crimes are not the product of a few deviant individuals, they are the result of a high level and highly institutionalized group that was dubbed by the Westminster paedophile ring.

An alleged victim of the Westminster ring, who is now over 40 years old, has recently came forward claiming to have been one of 15 boys who were abused at the hands of the powerful network. According to The Telegraph:

A Conservative MP murdered a young boy during a depraved sex party in the 1980s, an alleged victim of the Westminster paedophile scandal has claimed.

The 12-year-old boy, who was being abused by a group of men, was strangled by the politician at a luxury townhouse in front of other victims, it has been alleged.

On another occasion, the victim claims a young boy, who was around ten-years-old, was deliberately run down and killed by a car being driven by one of his abusers.

The alleged murders are among three that are now being investigated by the Metropolitan Police as part of a major probe into claims that a powerful ring with links to Westminster was operating in Britain in the 1970s and 1980s.

(…)

He claims after being handed to the group by his father, he was regularly picked up in cars and taken to hotels and apartments, where he was physically and sexually abused by “senior military and political” figures.

Some of the abuse allegedly took place at flats in the Dolphin Square development in Pimlico, where a number of politicians have London homes.

The man, who has spoken at length to Scotland Yard detectives, said he had witnessed two murders of abuse victims by members of the group.

He told the Sunday People that he had been in the same room as a 12-year-old boy, when a Tory MP throttled him to death.

The murder was allegedly witnessed by another abuse victim who was in the room at the same time.

He said: “I watched while that happened. I am not sure how I got out of that. Whether I will ever know why I survived, I am not sure.”

On another occasion he claims a member of the gang deliberately ran over one of the victims, in what he described as an effort to demonstrate their power.

A third boy was murdered during a depraved orgy at which another Tory MP was present, the man has told detectives.-

The Telegraph, Tory MP ‘murdered’ boy at orgy, abuse victim claims

The situation lived by these young victims is akin to mind control slaves. According to the accuser :

“They were very powerful people and they controlled my life for the next nine years. They created fear that penetrated every part of me, day in day out. You didn’t question what they wanted, you did as they asked without question and the punishments were very severe.”

“They had no hesitation in doing what they wanted to do,” Nick said. “Some of them were quite open about who they were. They had no fear at all of being caught, it didn’t cross their mind.”

– The Telegraph, Westminster ring investigated over murder links

As you can see, these claims bear all of the hallmarks of the occult elite. Young children given up by their parents to high powered circles; Repeated and ritualistic abuse; Gratuitous murders that could be blood sacrifices. And this is only the tip of the iceberg.

Will Scotland Yard arrest and punish these criminals? Considering the fact that the authorities are basically “in on it” (they covered up these stories for decades), I wouldn’t count on it.

Clegg vs. Farage LBC European Union Debate Highlights

Watch some of the key moments from the clash between the leaders of the Liberal Democrats and UKIP as they debate over membership of the European Union.

Nigel Paul Farage

British politician and leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) since 2010, a position he also held from September 2006 to November 2009. Since 1999, he has been a Member of the European Parliament for South East England and co-chairs the Europe of Freedom and Democracy group.

Nicholas William Peter "Nick" Clegg

British politician who since 2010 has been Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Lord President of the Council (with special responsibility for political and constitutional reform), as part of the coalition government headed by Prime Minister David Cameron. Clegg has been the leader of the Liberal Democrats since 2007, and a member of parliament (MP) representing Sheffield Hallam since 2005.

Should David Cameron be Prosecuted?

Should David Cameron be Prosecuted for Recruiting Brits to Fight in Al Qaeda Ranks in Syria?

By Prof Michel Chossudovsky

According to the London Evening Standard, a top British prosecutor has “warned that Britons who travel to join the Syrian conflict will face prosecution and potential life sentences on their return.” 

Sue Hemming said it was a crime to fight in another country even if it was to topple a “loathsome” dictator such as president Bashar Assad.

The head of counter-terrorism at the Crown Prosecution Service said Britons could also face charges for attending rebel training camps.

Her comments, in an interview with the Evening Standard, come as seven British residents including two London women await trial over charges connected to the Syrian conflict.

They follow a recent surge in arrests by police and a warning by the Met’s counter-terrorism chief about the growing number of young Britons either traveling to Syria or attempting to go.” (Brits who fight in Syria face life in jail, London Evening Standard, February 3, 2014)

What the British prosecutor fails to address is that the British “freedom fighters” are being recruited with the full support of the British government of Prime Minister David Cameron in defiance of UK laws.

Does this mean that those who finance and recruit terrorists at the highest levels of the British government also “potentially face life sentences” as suggested by Crown Prosecutor Hemming? Or is Her Majesty’s Government immune from prosecution?

Are we dealing with double standards in the application of British law?

There is ample evidence that the training camps are set up by the Western military alliance.

The important question for the British Crown  prosecutor: who should be sent to jail? The British mercenaries or the British government?

Amply documented, the Ministry of Defense and MI6 in liaison with US-NATO-Israel are behind the recruitment and training of terrorists.

The report points to the fact that  “Some observers have expressed surprise” that British “freedom fighters” ” seeking to oust Assad” should be subject to prosecution. After all its all for a “good cause”, namely “regime change” and “democracy”.

But Ms Hemming is categorical: participation in an overseas conflict is illegal.

“It is a crime for people from this country to go  out and get into a conflict or go out for terrorist training,” she said, adding: “We will look at the facts in each case, but ultimately it is potentially an offence and if it’s right to prosecute then we will.

Ms Hemming refers to Section 5 of the UK Terrorism Act 2006, which “outlaws acts preparatory to terrorism and assisting another person in such activities. The maximum penalty is life.” “Sections 6 and 8 of the legislation also make it illegal to train as a terrorist or to attend a training camp. Both offences carry up to 10 years in prison.”

What this interpretation of the 2006 Act (which was adopted during the Tony Blair government) indelibly suggests is that the British “state entities” including the MoD and the British Secret Service which are directly or indirectly behind the recruitment, training and financing of the British terrorists should also be prosecuted under sections 5 which outlaws ” acts preparatory to terrorism and assisting another person in such activities.”

While Prosecutor Hemming does not address the broader issue of government responsibility, she nonetheless intimates that participation in attempts to implement regime change in Syria are  illegal under the Terrorism Act of 2006.

Ms Hemming said that terrorism was defined in law as any action driven by political, ideological, religious or racial motive which seeks to influence a government or intimidate a section of the public. This meant that attempting to topple Assad was covered. She added: “Potentially it’s an offence to go out and get involved in a conflict, however loathsome you think the people on the other side are. (emphasis added)

The London Evening Standard confirms that the al-Nusra Front has been outlawed by the British Government “for its links to  al Qaeda”. Yet a the same time, US-NATO-Israel (namely the Western military alliance) has been covertly financing and supporting Al Nusra.

The recruitment of Brits would not be possible without the covert support of the British Military and Secret Service, often operating through private military contractors which are put in charge with the recruitment of British jihadists.

The role of the Western military alliance in the recruitment of terrorists has been confirmed by several sources including Israeli intelligence. NATO in liaison with the Turkish High command established in 2011 a recruitment program reminiscent of  the enlistment of  Mujahideen in the CIA’s jihad (holy war) in the heyday of the Soviet-Afghan war:

Also discussed in Brussels [NATO headquarters] and Ankara, our sources report, is a campaign to enlist thousands of Muslim volunteers in Middle East countries and the Muslim world to fight alongside the Syrian rebels. The Turkish army would house these volunteers, train them and secure their passage into Syria. (http://www.debka.com/article/21255/  Debkafile, August 31, 2011, emphasis added).

British War Crimes

Iraq: “Devastating” Dossier Alleging British War Crimes Lodged with the International Criminal Court

By Felicity Arbuthnot

A “devastating” two hundred and fifty page document: “The Responsibility of UK Officials for War Crimes Involving Systematic Detainee Abuse in Iraq from 2003-2008″, has been “presented to the International Criminal Court, and could result in some of Britain’s leading defence figures facing prosecution for “systematic” war crimes” the (London) Independent on Sunday has revealed.(i)

The dossier charges that: ‘ “those who bear the greatest responsibility” for alleged war crimes “include individuals at the highest levels” of the British Army and political system.’

Among those named, states the Independent, are two former Defence Ministry supremos, Geoff Hoon and Adam Ingram, Defence Secretary and Minister of State for the Armed Forces, respectively, under Tony Blair’s premiership, during the planning and invasion of Iraq and for most of the UK’s occupation. General Sir Peter Wall, head of the British Army is also named.

Shocking allegations have been compiled from the testimonies of four hundred Iraqis: ‘representing “thousands of allegations of mistreatment amounting to war crimes of torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment.” ‘

The document, lodged with the International Criminal Court at the Hague on Saturday (11th January 2013) “calls for an investigation into the alleged war crimes, under Article 15 of the Rome Statute” and is the result of some years of work by Birmingham based Public Interest Lawyers and the European Centre for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR.). The submission: “is the most detailed ever submitted to the ICC’s Office of the Prosecutor on war crimes allegedly committed by British forces in Iraq.”

In 2006 the ICC opined that: “There was a reasonable basis to believe that crimes within the jurisdiction of the court had been committed, namely willful killing and inhuman treatment.” However, since the claims were less than twenty cases, prosecutors declined to mount an investigation.

Subsequently: “hundreds of other claims have come to light, prompting consideration of the complaint now. It is the start of a process which could result in British politicians and generals being put in the dock on war-crimes charges.” The: “pattern of abusive treatment by UK services personnel in Iraq continued over almost six years of military operations.” When is a crime not a crime, one wonders, when it is “only” in double figures?

Evidence is presented of: “systematic use of brutal violence, that at times resulted in the death of detainees, while in the custody of UK Services Personnel.” The two law bodies claim: “there is evidence of brutality combined with cruelty and forms of sadism, including sexual abuse, and sexual and religious humiliation”, with widespread use of “hooding”, prisoners forced in to excrutiating: “stress positions, sleep deprivation, noise bombardment and deprivation of food and water.”

Secret Meeting to Plan Renewed Rebel Offensive against Syria

Secret Meeting to Plan Renewed Rebel Offensive against Syria: 

Senior Intelligence Officials Meet at British Embassy in Ankara

Turkish, Qatari, Saudi, British, US, French, Jordanian Intelligence Meet Behind Closed Doors

By Prof Michel Chossudovsky

According to a Fars News Agency report, senior intelligence officials from US-NATO and allied countries including the US, Britain, France, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Qatar met on June 7, behind closed door at the residence of the British Ambassador in Ankara.

The topic for discussion was the defeat of the US-NATO sponsored Al Nusrah rebels following the battle of Al Qusseir which led to the victory of Syrian forces. The planning of a renewed rebel offensive was envisaged:

“Top intelligence officials of the US, Britain, France, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Jordan convened in an urgent meeting at the British ambassador’s residence in Ankara on June 7 to discuss an immediate rebel attack on the Syrian government and army positions in reprisal for the Syrian army’s recent victory in Al-Qusseir,” a liaison officer coordinating the meeting told FNA.

According to the report, the participants of this Ankara secret meeting included (with the exception of Jordan) the regional intelligence directors of the seven countries directly involved in supporting the insurrection.

 The source, who asked to remain anonymous due to the sensitivity of his information and for fear of his life, said, “All the aforesaid countries sent their regional directors to the meeting, except for Jordan which was represented at a lower level.”

The meeting acknowledged the lack of morale among rebel forces and the need “to assess the psychological impacts of the Syrian army’s victory in Al-Qusseir on rebel groups and work out a morale-boost response to Damascus.”

The formulation of a renewed and coordinated rebel offensive was outlined, including the channeling of additional sources of financing, the delivery of weapons to the Al Qaeda affiliated “opposition” rebels (in defiance of international law and US anti-terrorist legislation):

“Given the defeat and withdrawal of the rebel groups from Al-Qusseir, the meeting studied possible geopolitical replacements for delivering arms shipments to the rebels,” the source added and continued, “Also participants discussed the focal points and methods that need to be dealt with by the western and Arab media to boost the morale of the rebels.”

 The source said participants also “decided to increase financial aids to the rebels through Saudi Arabia and Qatar”.

 ”They also discussed several plans to retaliate the rebels’ crushing defeat in Al-Qusseir,” he concluded.

 (Fars News, July 6, 2013)

Two weeks following the Ankara intelligence meeting on June 7,  The Friends of Syria gathered in Qatar (June 22, 2013). France’s President Francois Hollande and US Secretary of State John Kerry were present.

The representatives  from the “11 core members” of the Friends of Syria group agreed in a final statement “to provide urgently all the necessary materiel and equipment to the opposition on the ground”.  The aid to the rebels was to be channeled through the Syrian opposition’s Supreme Military Council.

In addition to the funds channeled by the 11 core member states of the Friends of Syria,  large and undisclosed amounts of financial aid are being channeled through private foundations based in the Gulf States.

In recent developments, the Syrian opposition has chosen a new Saudi backed leader, Ahmad al-Jarba:

“Jarba belongs to the large al-Shammar tribe, whose members extend into Iraq and Saudi Arabia, and he is related by marriage to one of Saudi King Abdullah’s wives.”

 

 

May 1945: “Operation Sunrise”, Nazi Germany Surrenders, But… on May 7, 8, or 9?

By Dr. Jacques R. Pauwels

After the Casablanca Conference of January 1943, the Americans, British, and Soviets had agreed that there would be no separate negotiations with Nazi Germany with respect to its capitulation, and that the Germander surrender would have to be unconditional. In the early spring of 1945, Germany was as good as defeated and the Allies were getting ready to receive its capitulation. The expected unconditional German capitulation vis-à-vis all three Allies would have to be concluded somewhere, but where – on the Eastern Front, or on the Western Front?

If only for reasons of prestige, the Western Allies preferred that this would happen on the Western Front. Secret talks with the Germans, which the British and Americans were holding at that time (i.e. in March 1945) in neutral Switzerland, code-named Operation Sunrise, were useful in that context, not only with an eye on a German surrender in Italy, which had actually led to the talks, but also in view of the coming general and supposedly unconditional German capitulation, of which intriguing details – such as the venue of the ceremony – might possibly be determined in advance and without input from the the Soviets. There were many possibilities in this respect, because the Germans themselves kept approaching the Americans and the British in the hope of concluding a separate armistice with the Western powers or, if that would prove impossible, of steering as many Wehrmacht units as possible into American or British captivity by means of “individual” or “local” surrenders, i.e. surrenders of larger or smaller units of the German army in restricted areas of the front.

The Great War of 1914-1918 had ended with a clear and unequivocal armistice, namely in the form of an unconditional German surrender, which everybody knows went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918. The Second World War, on the other hand, was to grind to a halt, in Europe at least, amidst intrigue and confusion, so that even today there are many misconceptions regarding the time and place of the German capitulation. The Second World War was to end in the European theatre not with one, but with an entire string of German capitulations, with a veritable orgy of surrenders.

It started in Italy on April 29, 1945, with the capitulation of the combined German armies in southwestern Europe to the Allied forces led by Alexander, the British field marshal. Signatories on the German side included SS General Karl Wolff, who had conducted the negotiations with American secret agents in Switzerland about sensitive issues such as the neutralization of the kind of Italian anti-fascists for whom there was no room in the American-British post-war plans for their country. Stalin had expressed misgivings about the arrangement that was being worked out between the Western Allies and the Germans in Italy, but in the end he gave his blessing to this capitulation after all.
