Report Reveals 80% Of Retired US Generals Go To Work For Weapons Manufacturers

The revolving door between the Defense Department and the weapons industry spins - a new report offers ways to slow it down.

At a time when the Pentagon budget is soaring towards $1 trillion per year and debates about how to respond to the challenges posed by Russia and China are front and center, it is more important than ever to make an independent assessment of the best path forward.

Ideally, this would involve objective analysis by unbiased experts and policy makers grounded in a vigorous public conversation about how best to defend the country. But more often than not, special interests override the national interest in decisions on how much to spend on the Pentagon, and how those funds should be allocated.

A 2021 report by the Government Accountability Office found that 1,700 senior government officials had taken positions in the arms industry over a five year period, an average of well over 300 per year. And a new report from our organization, the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, found that this practice is particularly pronounced among top generals and admirals. In the past five years, over 80% of retired four-star generals and admirals (26 of 32) went on to work in the arms sector as board members, advisers, lobbyists, or consultants.

For example, Boeing recruited the former Chief of Naval Operations Admiral John Richardson following his retirement from government service. The admiral joined the company's board of directors within two months of his retirement ceremony. Boeing was the Pentagon's sixth largest contractor in Fiscal Year 2022, with total prime contracts awards amounting to $14.8 billion.

Another prominent example of a four-star officer going to work for a top contractor is retired Marine Corps General Joseph Dunford, who served as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff before he retired in September 2019. Five months later Dunford joined the board of directors of Lockheed Martin.

The most recent batch of retired four-stars are not only seeking employment with the big contractors, they are also branching out to work for small and mid-size companies that focus on cutting edge technology, like next-generation drones, artificial intelligence (AI), and cybersecurity.

For example, the former head of Africa Command, General Stephen Townsend (U.S. Army, Ret.), joined a company called Fortem Technologies, which is dedicated to airspace awareness and defense against drones. General Mike Murray, former head of the U.S. Army Futures Command, went onto the boards of three emerging defense tech firms - Capewell, Hypori, and Vita Inclinata. And both former Chief of the National Guard Bureau head Gen. Joseph L. Lengyel and former Vice Chief of Naval Operations Adm. William K. Lescher went to work for AI firms upon leaving government service.

Google's work in China benefiting China's military: U.S. general
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-china-google-idUSKCN1QV296
MARCH 14, 2019

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States' top general said on Thursday that the Chinese military was benefiting from the work Alphabet Inc's Google was doing in China, where the technology giant has long sought to have a bigger presence.

"The work that Google is doing in China is indirectly benefiting the Chinese military," Marine General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.

"We watch with great concern when industry partners work in China knowing that there is that indirect benefit," he said. "Frankly, 'indirect' may be not a full characterization of the way it really is, it is more of a direct benefit to the Chinese military."

Last year Google said it was no longer vying for a $10 billion cloud computing contract with the U.S. Defense Department, in part because the company's new ethical guidelines do not align with the project.

In June, Google said it would not renew a contract to help the U.S. military analyze aerial drone imagery when it expires, as the company sought to defuse an internal uproar over the deal.

At the same time, Google said it has "no plans" to relaunch a search engine in China, though it is continuing to study the idea.

During the hearing, Republican Senator Josh Hawley sharply criticized the tech company, referring to it as "a supposedly American company."

Technology companies have recently been a favorite target of many members of the U.S. Congress, who have criticized them over a wide range of issues such as privacy, work in China and allowing foreign meddling in U.S. elections.

Lawmakers and Google employees have raised concerns the company would comply with China's internet censorship and surveillance policies if it re-enters the Asian nation's search engine market.

Asked about Dunford's comments, Google referred to previous statements.

Google Chief Executive Sundar Pichai has previously said the company has invested in China for years and plans to continue to do so, but that the company also was continuing to work with the U.S. government on projects in healthcare, cybersecurity and other fields.

Trump Says Dunford Played a Role in His Decision to Run for President

1 Oct 2019
Military.com | By Richard Sisk
President Donald Trump said Monday that retiring Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford was an influence on his decision to run for the White House.
At the swearing-in ceremony for incoming chairman Army Gen. Mark Milley, Trump recalled a Marine Corps event in 2015 at which he was receiving an award and sat at a table with Dunford.
Trump was apparently referring to a 2015 dinner of the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation, which provides educational assistance to the children of fallen Marines and federal law enforcement officers, at which Trump and others received awards.
At the dinner, Trump said he was "asking Joe lots of questions about the military" and, during the course of that conversation, said he was mulling running for president.
Trump said he told Dunford: "I don't know. What do you think? Should I give it a shot?"
He didn't say whether Dunford encouraged him, but added that "he helped me form an opinion, he gave me lots of information" on the workings of the military and the duties of the commander-in-chief.
Trump went on to lavish praise on Dunford's career in service. "He's like central casting" in the role of a general, he said of Dunford.

https://www.military.com/daily-news/2019/10/01/trump-says-Dunford-played-role-his-decision-run-president.html

Just to recap this -
Trump and Dunford had a conversation.
During the change of command ceremony Trump also indicated he had a private dinner with Gen Dunford and his wife and Melania.

Trump Connects The Generals And The Military-Industrial Complex
Top brass are suspiciously cozy with contractors who profit from war.
Trump is the first president to point it out.

The examples are as endless as America's foreign occupations: former Director of Naval Intelligence Jack Dorsett joined the board of Northrop-Grumman; he was later followed by former Air Force Chief of Staff Mark Welsh; meanwhile, former Vice Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff James Cartwright went to Raytheon; former Chairs of the Joint Chiefs-the highest ranking position in the military-William J. Crowe, John Shalikashvili,, Richard Myers, and Joseph Dunford went on to work for General Dynamics, Boeing, Northrop-Grumman, and Lockheed-Martin, respectively.

General James "Mad Dog" Mattis, in between his forced retirement from the Marine Corps and appointment as Secretary of Defense, joined the board of General Dynamics where he was paid over a million dollars in salary and benefits. Returning to public life, Mattis then spent two years cajoling President Trump into keeping the U.S. military engaged in places as disparate as Afghanistan, Syria, and Africa. "Sir, we're doing it to prevent a bomb from going off in Times Square," Mattis told his commander-in-chief. Left unsaid was that a strategic withdrawal would also lead to a precipitous decline in Mattis' future stock options, which he regained after he rejoined General Dynamics following his December 2018 resignation.

Deputy AG Lisa Monaco - In on Obama's Secret Russia Meetings in 2016 in White House - Caught Using a Pseudonymous Email Likely Against the Law

The DOJ's Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco was caught using a pseudonymous email while in office. This comes as no surprise since Monaco was part of Obama's secret team that met in the White House basement in 2016 to discuss Trump-Russia collusion sham.

The Daily Caller reported today that Deputy AG Lisa Monaco has been using a pseudonymous email while in her current role. This is illegal.

Deputy Attorney General Lisa O. Monaco's alleged use of a "pseudonymous email account" may be breaking "clearly applicable laws," a lawyer responsible for uncovering Obama EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson's false identity told the Daily Caller on Monday.

Monaco, confirmed by the Senate in April 2021 with bipartisan support, holds the Justice Department's (DOJ) number two gig and in part focuses on the DOJ's Jan. 6 riot investigation.

Buried in an early-Monday morning New York Times article about Attorney General Merrick B. Garland was a revelation about how Monaco conducted business - and Washington, D.C., lawyer Chris Horner says it raises questions similar to those asked when he learned Jackson used "alias" email accounts.

Does this really come as any surprise? Monaco is involved in the Jan 6 indictments which are the most egregious actions taken by the DOJ against innocent Americans in decades, if not ever. Monaco is also famous for being a member of Obama's team in 2016 that met in the basement behind closed doors to talk about the Trump-Russia collusion scam.

We reported on the secret Obama meetings in June of 2018. These meetings were attended by various Obama lackeys per Yahoo.

For the usual interagency sessions, principals and deputies could bring staffers. Not this time. "There were no plus ones," an attendee recalled. When the subject of a principals or deputies meeting was a national security matter, the gathering was often held in the Situation Room of the White House. The in?house video feed of the Sit Room - without audio - would be available to national security officials at the White House and elsewhere, and these officials could at least see that a meeting was in progress and who was attending. For the meetings related to the Russian hack, Susan Rice, Obama's national security adviser, ordered the video feed turned off. She did not want others in the national security establishment to know what was under way, fearing leaks from within the bureaucracy.

Rice would chair the principals' meetings - which brought together Brennan; Comey; Kerry; Director of National Intelligence James Clapper; Defense Secretary Ash Carter; Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson; Treasury Secretary Jack Lew; Attorney General Loretta Lynch; and Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff - with only a few other White House officials present, including White House chief of staff Denis McDonough; homeland security adviser Lisa Monaco, and Colin Kahl, Vice President Joe Biden's national security adviser. (Kahl had to insist to Rice that he be allowed to attend so that Biden could be fully briefed.)

John Kerry and Tony Blinken from the State Department were also present but not the country's National Security Director at that time, General Mike Rogers, who could not be trusted to push the Trump Russia lie. See more on this below.

Why q no point out the shitbags in US mil ?

Indeed, a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Marine Corps was relieved of his command for posting a video accurately blaming military and civilian leadership for the Afghanistan nightmare.

Yet until Jan. 20, retired top brass had constantly smeared their elected commander in chief with impunity.

Recently retired Gen. Michael Hayden retweeted a horrific suggestion that unvaccinated Trump supporters should be put on planes back to Afghanistan, where they presumably would be left to die.

Other retired high-profile military officials variously called their president an emulator of Nazi tactics, a veritable Mussolini, a liar, and deserving of removal from office sooner than later. None of these retired four-stars faced the sort of repercussions that the Office of Naval Intelligence just warned about.

Hayden earlier had compared Trump's border facilities to Nazi death camps.

More than 50 former intelligence officials on the eve of the November election signed a letter suggesting that incriminating emails found on Hunter Biden's missing laptop might be "Russian disinformation." They used their stature for political purposes to convince the American people that the story was a lie.

Retired Gen. Joseph Dunford and retired Adm. Mike Mullen recently blasted retired brass who had questioned Biden's cognitive ability. OK. But they should have issued a similar warning earlier, when the violations of fellow retired officers were even more egregious in election year 2020.

Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, apologized for doing a photo op with Trump, erroneously buying into the narrative that Trump had ordered rioters cleared from Lafayette Square for the staged picture. Worse, he leaked to journalists that he was so angry with Trump that he "considered" resigning. Think of the irony. If Milley considered a politicized resignation to rebuke Trump over the false charge, then surely he could consider a real resignation after overseeing the worst military disaster of the last half-century in Kabul.

Milley had promised to root out white supremacy from the ranks while recommending that his soldiers read Ibram X. Kendi's racialist diatribes.

Something is terribly wrong in the ranks of America's top commanders that reflects something wrong with the country.

New fag here. First time poster longtime lurker. Need some help digging.

Watched a video of Robert David Steele interviewing "Golden Jackass" Jim Willie…(I know muh). Willie mentions that the group of former Gens backing Trump called themselves "America First". Also he mentioned the great work that Anna Von Reitz was doing. I never heard of either.

https://www.bitchute.com/video/7Xb0MsUX7Dil/

Started digging into Anna's website and found lots of info re the fraud committed on the American People through the incorporation of the Federal Government. In one of her documents "takenotice.pdf" she states:

"As of the first week of October 2017 the Municipal UNITED STATES ceased functioning"

http://annavonreitz.com/takenotice.pdf

She then goes onto say that the old process for reclaiming one's civilian status would not work after this time and a new process would needs to be negotiated under the current Military Government.

At this point I'm pretty much still muh another sovereign citizen site. After hours of reading her research, which appears to be very good I decided to move on.

Time to dig on America First. Didn't find much. Started poking around to see if any MSM stories written re: Trumps decision to run for Pres. Came across this military.com article stating:

"President Donald Trump said Monday that retiring Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford was an influence on his decision to run for the White House"

https://www.military.com/daily-news/2019/10/01/trump-says-Dunford-played-role-his-decision-run-president.html

Today I start digging more on Anna Von Reitz and saw this post from Feb 2016 at prepareforchange.net titled

"Breaking News: Judge Anna von Reitz Now Working with the New Republic and General Dunsford"

https://prepareforchange.net/2016/02/05/do-you-know-who-judge-anna-von-reitz-and-general-dunsford-are-pay-attention/

Her basic claim is that they have taken back the republic and saved the original Constitution from the cabal and it will take a mass education process to get the American public aware.

So to recap:
1.Trump meets General Dunford and credits him in the decision to run
2.Trump Inauguration speech -from this point forward we will be returning the power back to we the people
3.Anna and Gen Dunford save the republic from cabal in early 2016
4.American people need to be educated of the truth that we have the power again
5.May 2017 Trump trip to meet with SA, Israel, Pope, Queen, Nato ect
6.Anna claims that as of Oct 2017 muni US gov ceased and Military Government installed
7.Q starts posting in October 2017
8.Great Awakening begins

Anons is this something? Seems like it would explain a lot of things.

"Jon Bateman, a fellow in the Cyber Policy Initiative at the Carnegie Institute for International Peace, told C4ISRNET that the situation highlighted the limits of cybersecurity.

'You've got the leading entities in the world, the U.S government or … FireEye, and then you've got the leading hackers in the world, some of them are in Russia. And just given enough time and persistence and effort, the offense can win in huge ways,' said Bateman, who served as special assistant to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford. 'I think that shows us something about the limits of cybersecurity.' "

Q Research General #15804: Pre-planned Speech Crackdown On Patriots & POTUS Underway Edition

Ex-Pentagon Chief Mattis Says Trump Will 'Be Left a Man Without a Country' for Capitol Violence

James Mattis resigned from his post as secretary of defence in late 2018 after disagreeing with Trump's Syria withdrawal plans. In late 2020, the president called Mattis the "world's most overrated general" and said he "should have fired him sooner" after the former Marine Corps general urged Joe Biden to abandon Trump's "America First" strategy.

Former Pentagon chief James "Mad Dog" Mattis has issued a scathing attack against President Donald Trump, blaming him for Wednesday's violence at the US Capitol, which saw protesters storming the compound and seizing the Senate chamber as Congress moved to formally certify the Electoral College results confirming Biden's victory.

"Today's violent assault on our Capitol, an effort to subjugate American democracy by mob rule, was fomented by Mr. Trump. His use of the Presidency to destroy trust in our election and to poison our respect for fellow citizens has been enabled by pseudo political leaders whose names will live in infamy as profiles in cowardice," Mattis said in a press statement late on Wednesday.

"Our Constitution and our Republic will overcome this stain and We the People will come together again in our never-ending effort to form a more perfect Union, while Mr. Trump will deservedly be left a man without a country," the retired general suggested.

Mattis' remarks were echoed by former Trump Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Joseph Dunford, who blamed the president for "setting the conditions" for Wednesday's violence by "undermin[ing] a peaceful transition in accordance with our Constitution" and called the events at the Capitol "an outrageous assault on our democracy."

Mark Esper, another former Trump secretary of defence, who was fired in November amid disagreements on the president's Iraq and Afghanistan withdrawal plans, called Wednesday's events "appalling and un-American" and added that he hoped the US military would "stay out of politics, and remain true to its sworn oath to support and defend the Constitution and the American people."

Pence, Not Trump, Made Call to Deploy National Guard Against Mob Storming Capitol, Media Claims
On Sunday, Esper, Mattis, former Vice President Dick Cheney, and others penned an op-ed in the Washington Post urging acting Defence Secretary Christopher Miller and his subordinates to refrain from "any political actions that undermine the results of the election or hinder the success of the new team."

Trump gave Miller Esper's job after expressing frustration with the Pentagon's stonewalling of his attempts to reduce US troop numbers overseas. In November, then outgoing US special representative for Syria Jim Jeffrey openly boasted about lying to Trump about the real troop numbers in Syria.

As for Mattis, Trump had quarrelled with the former defence secretary in November over an op-ed in Foreign Affairs magazine in which the retired general expressed hope that Biden would bin Trump's "America First" policy, suggesting that "in practice, 'America first' has meant 'America alone'." Trump responded to the criticism by saying he should have fired Mattis long before he did.

Bolton: US won't attack Iran, but will green-light Israel to do it

He gives an extensive narrative of what is mostly viewed as Trump's botched response (or non-response) to Iran's shooting down of a RQ-4A Global Hawk drone in June 2019.

If former US national security adviser John Bolton's book is accurate, three major long-debated points essential to Israel's national security would be resolved.

The points are:
1) The US under President Donald Trump will not attack Iran's nuclear weapons program preemptively;
2) Trump has green-lighted and would continue to green-light Israel to do so; and
3) none of Trump's key advisers believe his "maximum pressure" policy will change Tehran's behavior absent of a regime change (which only Bolton actively sought to do).

The truth is that a number of top US and Israeli security officials have been theorizing about these three points for some time.
But no one has ever reported what Trump's mindset was on the issue behind closed doors, as Bolton has now done.
Bolton reports on a few key moments.
In a 2017 meeting in which he and Trump were discussing their critique of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, Trump told him, "You tell Bibi [Netanyahu] that if he uses force, I will back him. I told him that, but you tell him again."

The former national security adviser also recalls multiple instances where he was discussing the viability of America's deterrence of Iran with then-US military chief Joseph Dunford, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and other top Trump officials.

Finally, Bolton gives an extensive narrative of what is mostly viewed as Trump's botched response (or non-response) to Iran's shooting down of a RQ-4A Global Hawk drone in June 2019.

What is clear in all of these passages is that despite having confidence in public - away from the cameras - Bolton, Dunford and Pompeo do not believe Iran will change its behavior simply by virtue of Trump's "maximum pressure" campaign.

Another point that is clear is that they believed, in those behind the scenes talks, that Trump's actions sent a message to the Islamic Republic that he would not be willing to preemptively strike its nuclear program.

Further, there is also no question that one reading of the Dunford-Bolton and Pompeo-Bolton passages is that none of these top aides believed Trump was willing to preemptively strike Tehran's nuclear program.

They are concerned that Iran knew this and wanted to fool Iran into thinking that the president still might strike so as to deter the ayatollahs from deciding to break out to a nuclear weapon.

Together with Trump's comments to Bolton in the other passage about Israel striking first, this reading seems very likely to be the correct one.

>Hypothesis? Not enough to say DOUBT, without an explanation.

When Bannon was booted, Coates became ascendant.

In a major reversal, Donald Trump has stripped chief strategist Steve Bannon of his position on the National Security Council, resolving a long simmering source of tension in national security circles. Since his appointment to the N.S.C. in January, critics had raised concerns that Bannon, a political operative with no relevant experience, might push the Council to make military decisions with political considerations in mind. Now Bannon is out, according to a notice filed Wednesday in the Federal Register. Trump's reshuffling of the Council consolidates the power of his national security adviser, Gen. H.R. McMaster, by giving him control of the Homeland Security Council and effectively demoting Homeland Security Adviser Tom Bossert.

The White House sought to spin the shake-up as a minor change. Bloomberg cited an anonymous White House official as saying that Bannon had never attended an N.S.C. Principals meeting, and that his key function had been to monitor General Michael Flynn, Trump's first national security adviser. Bannon, who will retain his security clearance, was presumably no longer needed on the council after Flynn resigned in February over his conversations with the Russian ambassador. "It's not like this is a major shake-up," one administration official told Politico.

In a statement to The Wall Street Journal, Bannon said that his role on the committee was to "de-operationalize" the N.S.C. after former national security adviser Susan Rice, whom Trump recently accused of "unmasking" campaign officials in contact with the Russian government, had "operationalized" it during the Obama era. "General McMaster has returned the N.S.C. to its proper function," he said, without explaining what any of these terms meant. (As several reporters were quick to point out, Bannon's statement closely mirrored the quotes a "senior W.H. official" gave multiple publications.)

The announcement came as something of a shock to the political world, in which Bannon had increasingly come to be seen as a "shadow president" within the White House, and its ideological architect. But it appears that Bannon, who has no prior governmental experience, may have overreached. While the former Breitbart executive had always been an object of fascination, and repulsion, in the media, in recent weeks Bannon had also become an object of ridicule. He was blamed for much of the early chaos in the West Wing, such as the uproar over the president's so-called "Muslim ban," which now seems more incompetent than strategic. He was widely mocked for his ineffectual demand that recalcitrant G.O.P. lawmakers support the president's doomed health-care bill, and got caught in the crossfire when Breitbart took aim at the bill. And he appears to be losing key allies in the White House. While McMaster was said to have orchestrated Bannon's ouster, Politico reported later Wednesday that the move was encouraged by Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, who had in recent weeks asked "searching questions" about Bannon's performance. "Big fight is between nationalists and the 'West Wing Democrats," one senior administration official told the outlet, noting that Kushner sees Bannon as a greater problem for the administration than Chief of Staff Reince Priebus.

Bannon's outsized profile may have irked Trump, too. "We are also told though that maybe the president wasn't particularly happy with the way that Bannon had been grabbing the limelight and that may have played into all of this," Fox News's John Roberts reported.

The reshuffling restores national intelligence director Dan Coates and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Joseph Dunford to the status of "regular attendees" of the Principals Committee meetings. Their initial removal from the council stirred outcry during the beginning of the administration, and was widely seen as a power move by Flynn to consolidate his power by limiting the influence of active military personnel over his decision-making.

Flashback: During Obama Administration, John McCain Asked if Qassem Soleimani Would 'Pay a Price'

Soleimani is the one who has been exporting malign activities throughout the Middle East for some time now," Odierno said. "He's absolutely responsible for killing many Americans, in fact I would say the last two years I was there the majority of our casualties came from his surrogates, not Sunni or Al Qaeda

The report also quotes now retired Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford - who served in the position from after the publication of this August 2015 Fox News report until the end of September 2019 - as saying Soleimani has killed as many as 500 Americans.

"The number has been recently quoted as about 500. We weren't always able to attribute the casualties we had to Iranian activity, although many times we suspected it was Iranian activity even though we didn't necessarily have the forensics to support that," Dunford said under questioning from Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) during his U.S. Senate confirmation hearing that year when asked about how many Americans were killed by Soleimani.

In response to the Fox News report, Sen. McCain tweeted about whether Soleimani would ever "pay a price" for what he has done and for violating U.S. sanctions.

New US Pentagon Chief - Vested Interest in War & Conflict

Mark Esper is expected to be confirmed in coming days as the new US Secretary of Defense. His appointment is awaiting final Congressional approval after customary hearings this week before senators. The 55-year-old nominee put forward by President Trump was previously a decorated Lieutenant Colonel and has served in government office during the GW Bush administration.

But what stands out as his most conspicuous past occupation is working for seven years as a senior lobbyist for Raytheon, the US' third biggest military manufacturing company. The firm specializes in missile-defense systems, including the Patriot, Iron Dome and the Aegis Ashore system (the latter in partnership with Lockheed Martin).

As Defense Secretary, Esper will be the most senior civilian executive member of the US government, next to the president, on overseeing military policy, including decisions about declaring war and deployment of American armed forces around the globe. His military counterpart at the Pentagon is Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, currently held by Marine General Joseph Dunford who is expected to be replaced soon by General Mark Milley (also in the process of senate hearings).

Esper's confirmation hearings this week were pretty much a rubber-stamp procedure, receiving lame questioning from senators about his credentials and viewpoints. The only exception was Senator Elizabeth Warren, who slammed the potential "conflict of interest" due to his past lobbying service for Raytheon. She said it "smacks of corruption". Other than her solitary objection, Esper was treated with kid gloves by other senators and his appointment is expected to be whistled through by next week. During hearings, the former lobbyist even pointedly refused to recuse himself of any matters involving Raytheon if he becomes the defense boss.

As Rolling Stone magazine quipped on Esper's nomination, "it is as swampy as you'd expect".

"President Trump's Cabinet is already rife with corruption, stocked full of former lobbyists and other private industry power players who don't seem to mind leveraging their government positions to enrich themselves personally. Esper should fit right in," wrote Rolling Stone.

The linkage between officials in US government, the Pentagon and private manufacturers is a notorious example of "revolving door". It is not unusual, or even remarkable, that individuals go from one sector to another and vice versa. That crony relationship is fundamental to the functioning of the "military-industrial complex" which dominates the entire American economy and the fiscal budget ($730 billion annually - half the total discretionary public spend by federal government).

Nevertheless, Esper is a particularly brazen embodiment of the revolving-door's seamless connection.

US Naval Coalition in Gulf - a Provocation Too Far

America's top General Joseph Dunford this week announced plans for a US-led naval coalition to patrol the Persian Gulf in order to "protect shipping" from alleged Iranian sabotage.

The move is but the latest in a series of efforts by the Trump administration to mobilize Arab allies into a more aggressive military stance towards Iran. It follows recent visits to the region by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and National Security Adviser John Bolton, both of whom have been urging a more organized military front led by the US to confront Iran.

The latest naval coalition proposed by General Dunford will be charged with escorting oil tankers as they pass through the Strait of Hormuz exiting the Persian Gulf to the Indian Ocean, and also through the Bab al Mandab entrance to the Red Sea on the Western side of the Arabian Peninsula. The former conduit serves oil supply to Asia, while the latter position between Yemen and Eritrea leads shipping to the Suez Canal on the way to the Mediterranean and Europe. Both narrow sea passages are strategic chokepoints in global oil trade, with some 20-30 per cent of all daily shipped crude passing through them.

The apparently chivalrous motives of the US to "guarantee freedom of navigation" sounds suspiciously like a pretext for Washington to assert crucial military control over international oil trade. That is one paramount reason for objecting to this American proposal.

Secondly, the very idea of sending more military vessels to the Persian Gulf under Pentagon command at this time of incendiary tensions between the US and Iran is a reckless provocation too far.

In the same week that the Pentagon called for a naval coalition, the US and Britain were blaming Iranian forces for trying to block a British oil tanker near the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has dismissed the allegations that its naval vessels interfered in any way with the British tanker. Both London and Washington claimed that a British Royal Navy frigate had to intervene to ward off the Iranian vessels. Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif dismissed the accusations as "worthless".

The latest incident follows a string of sabotage attacks against oil tankers in the Persian Gulf by unidentified assailants. The US has blamed Iran. Iran has vehemently denied any involvement. Tehran has countered by saying that tensions are being inflamed by "malicious conspiracies".

One can easily foresee in this already supercharged geopolitical context in the Persian Gulf and the wider region how any additional military forces would be potentially disastrous, either from miscalculation, misunderstanding or more malign motive.

Furthermore, media reports indicate a heightened wariness among some Gulf Arab states about being pushed into confrontation with their neighbor Iran. US policy is recklessly fomenting regional tensions against the better judgement of proximate countries.

The Washington Post reported this week: "The escalating tensions in the Persian Gulf have exposed differences between the United States and its regional allies, in part over how aggressively the Trump administration should confront Iran... With these countries likely to find themselves on the front lines of any military conflict with Iran, some of the smaller states are hesitant to support the more combative stance of the United States and regional heavyweights Saudi Arabia and the UAE."

Iranian boats 'harass' British tanker in the Gulf: U.S. officials

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Five boats believed to belong to Iranian Revolutionary Guards approached a British oil tanker in the Gulf on Wednesday and asked it to stop in Iranian waters close by, but withdrew after a British warship warned them, U.S. officials said. Britain's Ministry of Defence had no immediate comment. The incident occurred almost a week after British Royal Marines boarded an Iranian tanker, Grace 1, off Gibraltar and seized it on suspicion that it was breaking sanctions by taking oil to Syria.

Earlier on Wednesday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Britain would face "consequences" over the seizure of the Iranian tanker. Tensions between Iran and the United States and its allies have risen sharply since Washington stepped up economic sanctions against Iran and moved to bring the country's oil exports to zero as part of a "maximum pressure" policy to make Iran halt actions that it said undermined regional security. Iran has responded to the sanctions by starting to breach limits put on its nuclear activities under a 2015 deal with world powers. Several oil tankers were attacked in waters near Iran's southern coast in May and June, for which the United States blamed Iran. Tehran denied any involvement.

Last month, Iran shot down a U.S. drone near the Strait of Hormuz, prompting President Donald Trump to order retaliatory air strikes, only to call them off. The U.S. officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said Wednesday's incident happened as British Heritage was at the northern entrance of the Strait of Hormuz. "The Royal Navy HMS Montrose, which was also there, pointed it guns at the boats and warned them over radio, at which point they dispersed," one of the officials said. "It was harassment and an attempt to interfere with the passage," the other official said.

The United States hopes to enlist allies over the next two weeks or so in a military coalition to safeguard strategic waters off Iran and Yemen, Marine General Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said on Tuesday.

US to form military coalition to protect key shipping lanes near Iran

The United States is moving forward with plans to form a military coalition to safeguard strategic shipping lanes off Iran and Yemen amid raised tensions with Iranian leaders.

Marine General Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, on July 9 told reporters that the Pentagon would provide command and surveillance assets for the coalition.

Allied nations joining the coalition would patrol waters near the U.S. command ships and escort commercial vessels with their nation's flags through the heavily traveled waters between the Arabian Peninsula and the Horn of Africa.

"We're engaging now with a number of countries to see if we can put together a coalition that would ensure freedom of navigation both in the Straits of Hormuz and the Bab al-Mandab," Dunford told reporters following a meeting with acting U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

News/Notes

Dunford: US Will Provide Intel, Not Escorts, In Strait Of Hormuz.

The Trump administration wants to put together an international coalition to prevent tanker attacks from Iran.

The United States will provide surveillance and organizational support to a proposed coalition to bolster maritime security against Iranian threats in the Strait of Hormuz, but U.S. ships will not escort other nations' ships through the passage, the nation's top uniformed officer said on Tuesday.

"Escorting in the normal course of events would be done by countries who have the same flag, so a ship that is flagged from a particular country would be escorted by that country," Joint Chiefs chairman Joseph Dunford told reporters at Fort Myer in Washington, D.C."The United States is uniquely capable of providing is some of the command and control, some of the intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; but the expectation is the actual [security] patrolling and escorts would be done by others."

Questions have swirled for weeks around the Trump administration's plan to rally other countries to help guard against potential attacks on oil tankers transiting through the strait. Since late June, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has sought to recruit allies to participate in a program called Sentinel that gives security cameras to ships transiting the strait - and was thought to include a military escort or patrol component - but details have remained sketchy.

Dunford said U.S. Central Command has only recently provided senior leaders with a plan in response to an order given "a couple weeks ago."

On Tuesday morning, Dunford, Pompeo, and Acting Defense Secretary Mark Esper met to discuss the particulars. He said they are "engaging now with a number of countries to see if we can put together a coalition that would ensure freedom of navigation both in the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab-el Mandeb."

"We have a pretty clear concept of what we want to do," Dunford said. "[Central Command] come back to us with a pretty good concept of operations and so now we're able to talk with some degree of specificity with our coalition partners."

He noted that he expected the effort to be "scalable," depending on how many partners sign up. But the U.S. portion of the effort is expected to be fusing information from various different surveillance streams, rather than participating in actual security patrolling or escorting ships.

Tensions with Iran have been on the rise since May, when the Trump administration began warning of what it described as an aggressive campaign by Iran designed to get the United States to back off its "maximum pressure" strategy. President Trump withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal in 2018, reimposing choking sanctions on Tehran.

In June, Trump ordered, then canceled strikes on Iran in response to Tehran's downing of a U.S. drone. The administration also blamed a pair of attacks on two oil tankers - neither of which were operated by the United States - on Iran.

In recent weeks, Iran has taken steps to reinstate elements of its nuclear weapons program previously limited by the deal.

It's not clear how many nations are expected to participate in the maritime security effort. European allies, distressed by the U.S. withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear agreement have reacted with some skepticism to the Trump administration's warnings of an increased threat from Iran. And while Gulf allies are concerned about Iranian aggression, experts question what kind of resources they will be able to devote to the effort.

"I think probably over the next couple weeks we'll identify which nations have the political will to support that initiative and then we'll work directly with their militaries to identify the specific capabilities that would support that," Dunford said. "We're getting ready to move out."

Trump's narcissism is perfectly suited to unilateralism since narcissists' obsession is to have complete freedom to act unconstrained as the impulse moves them.2 The malignant narcissist in particular craves that freedom so as to impose himself on others at will and to hurt them as he wishes.

This is a Hobbesian world. An all-against-all environment where the strongest will rule - and has a right to rule. Threat and coercion are the standard instruments used to get one's way. In practice, there is some inhibition about direct use of military force where and when it can lead to all-out war. Why? Big wars are not predictable; they can lose you votes; and - in this case - they demand the intestinal fortitude that Trump totally lacks. After all, his experience of combat is limited to the grey-zone real estate market and municipal corruption in NYC. The disposition arising from the last two often is mistaken for 'isolationism.'

An essential feature of this behavior pattern is that it is not formed or guided in accordance with some carefully conceived, thought-through strategic design. There is none. The closest approximation is the Wolfowitz Plan whose ideas gained remarkable currency by seeping into the minds of the policy community by osmosis rather than by deliberation. There, it has filled an intellectual void. If there were such a comprehensive strategy - clearly articulated, Trump himself would be incapable of understanding it or following the script. The same can be said for Kushner, for Pompeo, for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs-of-Staff Joseph Dunford, and their senior associates. The uniformed military do not yearn for wars. What they want are three things: expanding bureaucratic empires and budgets; getting as close as they can to the mirage of "full spectrum military dominance' in every region of the globe; and avoiding embarrassing failures. This last is accomplished by throwing dollars and lives into lost causes like Afghanistan along with a sophisticated propaganda apparatus that uses the managed media and pliable politicos to pass on fictional versions of what is happening in Yemen, in Saudi Arabia, in Syria, in Iraq, and in the Russian borderlands.

Hence, the coverage and analysis of Trump's doings internationally are distorted by the erroneous assumption that his acts form a rational pattern. That they are the resultant of some logical thought process. That is false. Trump is mentally deranged. We discuss that fact of life all the time - except when it comes to foreign policy. So, analysis of his meeting last week with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is treated like that of any other American president with the head of a major government. Trump's counterparts do not; they are acutely aware that they are dealing with somebody who is unhinged- somebody who could have a temper tantrum that seriously harms them, himself and bystanders. Abe prepared for his first encounter with Trump by forming a panel of six psychiatrists whose insight and advice he sought on how to deal with this madman. Likely, so have Xi and Putin. This aspect of Trump's tête-à-têtes with foreign leaders should figure in every report of these meetings.

Indeed, the most significant theme of journalistic coverage should be how a given foreign leader is using what psychological strategy to bring Trump more or less into line with what he wants to get across - even if it be just warding off some disaster or other. Otherwise, they fall into the trap that has ensnared American commentators/analysts: trying to figure out what Trump's scattershot ejaculations - verbal and electronic - are meant to convey. That futile exercise is like seeking the recondite theological message hidden in 'scat' singing. Also, they might employ their talents to illuminate the psychological stratagems used by Bibi Netanyahu, Mohammed bin-Zayed of the UAE, and Mohammed bin-Salman to put a ring through the loudmouth bully's nose to turn him into a docile water buffalo.3

Joe Biden's Spygate-Linked Top Aide Hoped for Resistance Within Trump's Cabinet, 'Purging' Nationalists

WASHINGTON - In social media remarks that got little attention, Colin Kahl, who served as Vice President Joe Biden's national security adviser, called for "purging or marginalizing the 'Axis of Ideologues' in the West Wing" in order to ensure what he described as "any hope of a sane foreign policy" during the Trump administration.

Kahl took to Twitter to make those little noticed remarks on March 11, 2017, two months after he departed the White House along with the rest of the Obama administration for the incoming Trump team.

He opined that the so-called "ideologues" have an agenda "on migration, 'radical Islam,' & trade appeal" that must be marginalized.

Kahl's call to arms against White House officials with whom he maintains policy differences gives a window into his mindset. It takes on renewed significance in light of a Breitbart News report from yesterday highlighting that the Biden senior White House adviser participated in the secretive and highly compartmentalized early principals' meetings that took place at the White House to discuss the controversial early stages of the Russia investigation, according to a book. Kahl attended the meetings to keep Biden informed of matters that transpired inside, the book related.

The matter is also newly relevant in light of renewed scrutiny over Biden's role during the Obama administration's initial operations related to the Russia probe.

Attorney General William Barr has over the past two weeks made a series of public comments that the U.S. administration's early handling of the Russia investigation may itself raise questions. He noted that it was first handled at a "very senior level" and then by a "small group." Barr recently appointed a U.S. attorney to investigate the origins of the Russia collusion claims.

Kahl served as Biden's national security adviser from October 2014 to January 2017.

Taking to Twitter in March 2017, Kahl unleashed a series of tweets explaining the need to "purge" officials who were inside the Trump administration at the time, singling out then-chief strategist Steve Bannon, senior Trump adviser Stephen Miller, then-senior national security official Michael Anton, then-deputy assistant to the president Sebastian Gorka and then-deputy national security adviser K. T. McFarland.

He called for foreign policy to be concentrated instead under "a working 'Axis of Adults'" led by then-National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster, then-Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford, then-Secretary of State Tillerson, Mike Pompeo, then-White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and Mike Pence.

Kek. Sharing is caring.

Former Google boss Eric Schmidt has defended the company's record on multiple controversies: its work in China, its treatment of women, and its tax affairs.

The 64-year-old executive, who sits on the board at Google's parent company, Alphabet, said the tech giant was right to pursue opportunities in China, despite heavy criticism from senior US officials.

"The world is a very interconnected place," Mr Schmidt told BBC Newsnight's Emily Maitlis.

"There are many, many benefits interacting, among other things, with China."

General Joseph Dunford, who as chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff is the highest ranking American in uniform, said Google's work "indirectly benefits the Chinese military and creates a challenge for us in maintaining a competitive advantage".

Mr Schmidt dismissed the concern.

"That's like saying America makes pencils and pencils are used by the Chinese."

Chinese ambition

Google has had a tumultuous history in China. It left the country in 2010 over concerns it was being by censored and cyber-attacked by Beijing, and instead set up an operation in Hong Kong.

Q Research General #8259: The Stage Must Be Set Edition

By ROSE L. THAYER | STARS AND STRIPES
Published: May 9, 2019

The Defense Department is working on a plan now with the Department of Homeland Security that could keep troops at the U.S.-Mexico border for the "next couple years," a top Pentagon official told Senate lawmakers Wednesday.

Based on Homeland Security's ability to manage the increasing number of migrants crossing the southern border, Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Senate Appropriations Committee's defense subpanel that the two departments want to create "a comprehensive plan for the next couple years."

"Although the commitment to the border hasn't impacted preparedness for other missions at this point, what we want to do is get into a more predictable mode of the requirements the Department of Homeland Security has and do better at integrating across the government," Dunford said during the Senate hearing.

Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., the committee's chairman, opened his questioning during the hearing on the Pentagon's proposed budget for fiscal year 2020 by asking Dunford and acting Defense Secretary Pat Shanahan for an update on border operations and how much support the Defense Department could provide "without negatively affecting" other missions.

Shanahan outlined the two main areas of DoD support at the border: the 4,364 servicemembers - made of active-duty troops and National Guard members - providing support to U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the building of a border wall overseen by the Army Corps of Engineers.

Shanahan told lawmakers that there's enough Pentagon contracts and funding from their budgets and other agencies in place to build more than 250 miles of new border fencing. That represents the construction of about 63 miles of border barriers during the next six months at a rate of about half a mile daily.

"We now have on contract sufficient funds to build about 256 miles of barrier," he said, adding the money comes from the Pentagon, Homeland Security and the Treasury Department.

Of the troops working along the border, Shanahan said the primary task is the monitor and detection mission, which is carried out by about 1,167 servicemembers. Other tasks include logistics support, food service and aviation assets.

Now, about a year since the first request from President Donald Trump for military support at the southern border, Shanahan said there's been no impact to readiness.

"In some cases, its enhanced readiness because troops get to perform certain functions," he said.

Hours later, officials from the Department of Homeland Security testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee's subpanel on border security and immigration describing the Pentagon's help as a short-term fix to a larger problem.

The more than 460,000 apprehensions in fiscal year 2019 at the southern border have already surpassed the totals of every year since 2009, said Border Patrol Chief Carla L. Provost. Of the people apprehended, 64% are families, which has forced Border Patrol agents to spend nearly half their time providing child care, medical care and food.

While calling on interagency support – such as the Defense Department has provided – can help relieve agents of these tasks and allow them to return to the border and ports of entry, it's providing "Band-Aid fixes to a worsening situation," said Manuel Padilla Jr., director of the Department of Homeland Security's Joint Task Force - West.

Similar to a hurricane, the situation at the border has created "significant humanitarian demands" and has a wide range of effects beyond the point of impact, he said.

"Hurricanes end and recovery can then begin. With a migration crisis, there is no end in sight," Padilla said. "[It] will continue on until there is fundamental change to our laws."

Trump Needs to Fire the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Before He Starts a War

The Russian Media Perspective. Thoughts ANONS! Sure look like Trump is finally done colluding!! DUCK & COVER, kek!!!

Trump needs to act quickly to get rid of the country's top general. He's Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Joseph Dunford. This general seems bent on pushing the frayed US-Russia relationship deep into the danger zone. That could lead to a globally devastating nuclear war. Some say millions could be killed in minutes.

Saner heads see clearly the catastrophe that could result from Dunford's foolishness. The New York Times, the Washington Post and countless other news outlets have cried out the danger. They just ran an AP story titled "US-Russia chill stirs worry about stumbling into conflict."

It brings a word of warning from NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe, General Curtis Scaparrotti. He asserts that "Washington and Moscow are in danger of stumbling into an armed confrontation that, by mistake or miscalculation, could lead to nuclear war."

He's rung an alarm bell that Dunford apparently hasn't heard.

The problem, according to Scaparrotti, is that there isn't the kind of safeguard communication between the two countries that is essential. "I personally think communication is a very important part of deterrence," he said, adding, "so I think we should have more communication with Russia. It would ensure that we understand each other and why we are doing what we're doing."

Dunford, on the other hand opposes that. He petulantly whines that "it's very difficult for us to have normal relationships with a country that has not behaved normally over the last few years." So because Dunford doesn't like Russia's actions vis-a-vis Ukraine and Syria he's thwarting opportunities to head off a problem of vastly greater magnitude and consequence. His hubris does not bode well for our safety in the world.

The problem is amplified by the personality volatilities of both countries' presidents. They're prone to precipitous reactions. While Trump brags how tough he's been on Russia, Putin looks ready for a fight. "Fifty years ago the streets of Leningrad taught me one rule: if a fight is inevitable you have to strike first," he told journalists in 2015 according to Newsweek.

Noted Russia scholar Stephen F. Cohen recently wrote that the Kremlin has "officially raised its perception of American intentions toward Russia from 'military dangers' to direct 'military threats'".

"In short, the Kremlin is preparing for war, however defensive its intention," Cohen warns.

It doesn't matter whether the Kremlin's perception of US intentions is correct or not. It is what it is. Opening channels of communication seems to be the only practical avenue toward clearer mutual understanding, and Dunford's standing in the way of that.

That's why Dunford's got to go. He's currently due to serve until October 1. But it's time for Trump to take decisive action now.

https://breakingdefense.com/2019/04/simulating-a-super-brain-artificial-intelligence-in-wargames/?

ARMY WAR COLLEGE: Theater commanders around the world want weapons they can see and use right now, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs told the Army War College. It's a lot harder, Gen. Joseph Dunford said, to sell experienced senior officers on an untested and intangible capability like Artificial Intelligence.
The immediate objective: come up with ways to mimic the effects of an AI so the school's in-house game designers could turn it into either a computer simulation or a table-top exercise within 10 months - without new money. The hope is that the 2020 game, in turn, will intrigue Army leadership enough that they'll support a larger, longer-term AI effort.
The most famous case is the Naval War College in the 1920s and 1930s, which ran more than 100 games exploring a possible war with Japan, often with officers moving miniature ships around a tiled floor used as a giant gameboard. Admiral Nimitz famously said that these games explored so many different technologies and strategies that "nothing that happened during the [actual] war was a surprise... except the kamikaze tactics."
If you can actually write or modify a computer wargame, instead of doing a pure tabletop exercise, your options get more sophisticated and fiendish. You can put each player at a different screen and manipulate how much information they get, how quickly, and how accurate it is. You can cut off in-game messaging between players to simulate radio jamming, or send false messages to simulate their network getting hacked. You can use crowdsourcing to simulate an AI's ability to generate a wider range of strategies. The non-AI players can only brainstorm among themselves, but the team simulating the AI can post the game board on the Internet and get hundreds of suggestions for its next move.

Who Is Killing Whom in the Middle East? Blaming Iran Might be an Excuse for War

Newsweek is reporting a story regarding how Iran "was responsible for the deaths of at least 608 American troops in Iraq between 2003 and 2011." The account is sourced to a newly revised estimate prepared by analysts at the Pentagon that was discussed by Special Representative for Iran Brian Hook at a State Department press briefing on April 2nd. According to Hook, Tehran is now being blamed for 17 per cent of all US military deaths because it supplied weapons to the several Shiite militias that were opposing the US invasion, occupation and subsequent presence in the country.

Hook also stated that the American casualties are in addition to the "thousands" of Iraqi troops and civilians that were killed in attacks initiated by what he referred to as the Iranian proxy forces. Hook noted that the new number is higher than the 2015 confirmed death total of 500 that was reported by then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Joseph Dunford, who qualified his estimate by saying

"We were not always able to attribute the casualties that we had to Iranian activity, although many times we suspected it was Iranian activity, even though we did not necessarily have the forensics to support that."

There is little doubt that Tehran provided weapons to Shiite militias in Iraq after the invasion of the country by American forces in April 2003 and the defeat and replacement of the Saddam Hussein regime. The US was occupying the country at the time and Shiites were a repressed majority of the population given the fact that Saddam ruled through his Sunni minority.

The most controversial and lethal weapons used by the Shiite and Sunni resistance to the United States were the Improvised Explosive Devices or IEDs, subsequently also referred to as Explosively Formed Penetrators or EFPs which were capable of penetrating the armor on US military vehicles. They first appeared in Iraq in the summer of 2004, but they were initially mostly used by Sunni insurgents, not by the Shiites.

Now that the US occupation has ended, Iran and Iraq enjoy a close relationship that is based on their common Shiite religion. The former militiamen are now referred to as Popular Mobilization Forces, which were key to the eventual defeat of ISIS. The United States, which retains a major military base inside Iraq, continues to rail against Iran. During the briefing, Hook said

"We are imposing costs on the [Iranian] regime for behaving as an outlaw expansionist regime. The regime is weaker today than when we took office two years ago. Its proxies are also weaker. Unless the regime demonstrates a change in policy and behavior, the financial challenges facing Tehran will mount."

There are several problems with the Hook analysis, if that is actually what it was. The United States government has been arguing since 2005 that Iran is "interfering" in neighboring Iraq, combined with allegations about "they are killing our soldiers" to make sure that Tehran continues to be everyone recognizable regional enemy. Specific claims by generals and US politicians were made between 2005 and 2007 regarding Iranian involvement in the production of the shaped charges, which were increasingly exacting a bloody toll of US and allied military personnel.

But the claims being made by the Bush Administration, by Congress, and by the media regarding Iranian support of militants in Iraq had a number of things in common: they were generic and lacking in specificity, they were based on possibly unwarranted assumptions about Iranian interactions with other players in the region, they played fast and loose with statistics, and they seldom provided actual verifiable evidence to back up the assertions being made. One might also point out that nearly all the reports were derivative in that they build on each other to develop credibility, much like the reports about Iraq in 2002.

It has also been noted that the arguments about Iranian involvement are logically inconsistent. The Iraqi insurgency in the period 2004-2006 was largely Sunni. That the Iranians would be supplying the Sunnis or that the Sunnis would even seek such assistance does not appear probable. In an April 2007 briefing Major General William Caldwell explained,

Pentagon defends space force amid skepticism

The Associated Press COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - Sharpening his argument for a space force, the acting Pentagon chief on Tuesday called it a "low cost, low bureaucracy" way to stay ahead of China, Russia and other nations seeking to erase American military advantages in space.
The Pentagon and Congress have discussed for years the possibility of establishing a military service for space, but some key lawmakers remain skeptical of the need and wary of the cost. The debate enters a new phase this week with the Senate Armed Services Committee holding its first hearing Thursday on the administration's proposal to phase in a space force over five years and establish a space war-fighting command this year.
Patrick Shanahan, whose own future as the acting secretary of defense may be tied to the success of his push for a space force, is trying to persuade lawmakers that it is urgently needed to preserve U.S. dominance in space. The proposal also is a favorite of U.S. President Donald Trump, who often touts the idea at political rallies and whose first defense secretary, Jim Mattis, was initially skeptical of the need for a separate military service for space.

Shanahan, a former Boeing executive who had been Mattis' top deputy and took over for him on Jan. 1, has yet to be nominated as his replacement.

In a speech at a space symposium crowded with industry officials hungry for Pentagon business, Shanahan cast China and Russia as threats, suggesting the United States has little choice but to match their efforts to weaponized space.

He repeated an assertion made in January by the Defense Intelligence Agency that by next year the Chinese military is likely to field a ground-based laser system aimed at low-orbit sensors in space. He said the Chinese also are prepared to use cyberattacks against U.S. space systems, and he said Russia is doing the same.

"Because of their actions, space is no longer a sanctuary," Shanahan said. "It is now a warfighting domain. This is not a future or theoretical threat. This is today's threat."

His speech kicked off what his staff has dubbed "space week" - a series of space-related events, including Shanahan's Senate testimony Thursday with Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Shanahan also taped an interview Monday with Fox News from the Colorado Springs luxury resort that is hosting a week-long space symposium. While in Colorado Springs, Shanahan also met with Air Force Gen. John Hyten, the U.S. Strategic Command leader whose responsibilities include overseeing military space operations.

In addition to establishing a space force, initially setting up just a headquarters in 2020 at a cost of $72 million, the administration is proposing to reestablish the U.S. Space Command, which would manage all military space forces, much like Hyten's Strategic Command manages all nuclear forces. The military had a space command for many years, but it was eliminated in 2002 when U.S. Northern Command was set up as a response to the 9/11 attacks.

Although many in Congress favor the administration's proposal, doubts persist, particularly about the space force, which requires congressional approval and would be the first new military service since the Air Force was established in 1947.

"Is an entirely new and separate military branch needed?" Sen. Jack Reed, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, asked last week.

Q Research General #7814: Or Are They? Edition

The head of U.S. Strategic Command, or STRATCOM, has been nominated as the next vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, according to Air Force's top civilian.

Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson told audiences at the Space Symposium in Colorado on Tuesday that STRATCOM commander Gen. John Hyten has been nominated for the position.

Hyten would take over from Air Force Gen. Paul Selva, who is retiring.

The move to elevate Hyten comes at a time when the Defense Department is focused heavily on expanding its space assets.

As STRATCOM chief, Hyten has emphasized the need for nuclear modernization and expanded communications, as well as the growing demand for improved defenses in space against near-peer adversaries such as Russia and China.

Since assuming the position in 2016, Hyten has said space is his "third priority," with "nuclear first, nuclear command-and-control second."

He has said he is grateful the Trump administration is creating a Space Force and associated components to deal with emerging threats from adversaries in space.

"The president said we need a structure inside the Pentagon focused on space all the time, and I support that structure," Hyten said during a March 28 House Armed Services Subcommittee on Strategic Forces hearing. "I think the most important thing we can do in the near term [is] to stand up a new unified command, moving space out from under my command, out from under U.S. Strategic Command, and creating a new U.S. Space Command focused 100 percent of the time on the space problem.

"Space will never be higher than my third priority. I get to spend so little time on space because I have to focus on the nuclear capability," he added.

Prior to his current post, Hyten was vice commander and then commander of Air Force Space Command at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, between 2012 and 2016, according to his official biography.

He has fought for other modernization programs, including the UH-1N Huey helicopter replacement program, which has been in the works for more than a decade. Last year, Hyten stressed the move is long overdue for STRATCOM, which uses the aging Huey helicopter for aerial protection of its missile sites.

"We are going to get a new helicopter in the missile fields," he said Aug. 1 during his opening remarks at the 2018 STRATCOM Deterrence Symposium in Omaha, Nebraska. "We are going to get a new helicopter if I have to die trying or if I have to kill somebody to do it. It is taking way too long."

In September, the Air Force chose Boeing Co. to build the Huey replacement at a cost of approximately $2.38 billion.

If confirmed, Hyten will serve with Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley. In December, Trump nominated Milley to succeed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Joseph Dunford.

China spying on us using gay app?

Gay dating app Grindr declared threat to military personnel by US government

A Chinese gaming company has decided to sell the popular LGBTQ dating app Grindr LLC after a U.S. national security panel declared the app to be a threat to service members, Reuters first reported.

Beijing Kunlun Tech Co Ltd, which has owned the California-based dating app since 2016, decided to sever ties at the behest of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, or CFIUS, which pointed to major concerns over personal data of app users - notably military and intelligence personnel - being made publicly available.

Grindr, which labels itself "the largest social networking app for gay, bi, trans, and queer people," came under intense heat last year when it was revealed that the app was releasing the HIV statuses of users without their permission.

The app had 27 million users as of 2017, Reuters reported.

Currently, the app's privacy policy allows for the data collection of a user's location, messages and HIV status, the report said.

The decision of CFIUS to intervene in Grindr's business operations signals increasing doubt on the part of U.S. officials in the ability of Chinese businesses to keep sensitive information of Americans secret.

In recent years, the panel also blocked the sale of the money transfer company MoneyGram to Chinese business owners, the report said.

The Trump administration has been at the forefront of scrutinizing Chinese cyber practices.

Earlier this month, President Trump accused Google in a tweet of "helping China and their military, but not the U.S."

Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Google's artificial intelligence venture in China and other U.S. companies' business in the country indirectly benefit the Chinese military and create a challenge for the United States as it seeks to maintain a competitive advantage.

"CFIUS made the right decision in unwinding Grindr's acquisition," U.S. Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Edward Markey commented in a statement acknowledging CFIUS' intervention of the app.

"It should continue to draw a line in the sand for future foreign acquisition of sensitive personal data."

A spokesman for CFIUS said the national security panel does not comment on public cases like Grindr, according to Reuters.

U.S. Must Put A Ban On Google Helping China Develop A Global Digital Dictatorship

Technocrats at Google love Technocrats in China much more than they love America or its Citizens. It's time to force Google to break with China on oppressing its citizens via Scientific Dictatorship, aka Technocracy. ? TN Editor

General Joseph Dunford, America's top military officer, has announced he will be meeting with Google representatives this week to talk about the company's assistance to China's People's Liberation Army.

Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, first stoked the controversy over Google on March 14 during his appearance before the Senate Armed Services Committee. "The work that Google is doing in China is indirectly benefiting the Chinese military," he said.

"We watch with great concern when industry partners work in China knowing that there is that indirect benefit," he added later. "Frankly, 'indirect' maybe not be a full characterization of the way it really is. It's more of a direct benefit to the Chinese military."

Google issued a firm denial in response to Dunford's comments. "We are not working with the Chinese military," a spokesperson said. "We are working with the U.S. government, including the Department of Defense, in many areas including cybersecurity, recruiting and healthcare."

But Dunford is correct. The denial, even if technically accurate, is nonetheless misleading. Google maintains arrangements that it either knows or should know directly benefit the Chinese military.

For instance, in December 2017 the company announced the formation of the Google AI China Center in Beijing.

Due to Chinese ruler Xi Jinping's announced policy of "civil-military fusion," there is no longer any meaningful distinction between civil and military research, especially in areas like AI that Xi has determined China must dominate. As Bob Work, once U.S. deputy defense secretary, said of the new facility in the Chinese capital, "Anything that's going on in that center is going to be used by the military."

Similarly, acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan sounded the alarm at that Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on March 14. "The fusion of commercial business with military is significant," he said. "The technology that is developed in the civil world transfers to the military world. It's a direct pipeline. Not only is there a transfer, there's also systematic theft of U.S. technology that facilitates even faster development of emerging technology.

Trump Says Google CEO "Totally Committed To The US Military"

Google CEO Sundar Pichai probably would have preferred to keep Wednesday's meeting with President Trump quiet, but the president had other plans.

In a series of tweets Wednesday afternoon, Trump said his meeting with Pichai had gone well, and that the Google CEO is "totally committed to the US Military, not the Chinese Military." He added in a second tweet that the two had discussed "political fairness and various things Google can do for our country" (presumably Google's practice of discriminating against conservative news organizations, part of the company's crusade against "fake news", as well as its active support for Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election)

Trump concluded by saying the meeting went "very well."

The claim about Google's commitment to the US military might seem puzzling, however, during a Senate hearing earlier this month, Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, accused the company of "indirectly benefiting" the Chinese military via Google's work in China (which may soon include a censored search engine).

"We watch with great concern when industry partners work in China knowing that there is that indirect benefit," Dunford told members of the Senate Armed Services Committee at a March 14 hearing. "The work that Google is doing in China is indirectly benefiting the Chinese military."

Pichai was also scheduled to meet with Dunford on Wednesday.

No word yet on whether Trump mistakenly referred to Pichai as "Mr. Google."

POTUS says Google CEO Sundar Pichai told him he is 'totally committed to the U.S. military'

US President Donald Trump tweeted that he met with Google CEO Sundar Pichai on Thursday.

"Just met with Sundar Pichai, President of Google, who is obviously doing quite well. He state strongly that he is totally committed to the U.S. military, not the Chinese Military…" Trump tweeted.

In a second tweet, Trump said that the two also "discussed political fairness and various things that Google can do for our Country. Meeting ended very well!"
News that Pichai would be speaking with the president had not been announced before the tweet.
According to a Bloomberg report on Tuesday, Pichai was set to meet with top military official, Gen. Joseph Dunford, whose comment about Google's artificial-intelligence work in China "indirectly benefit[ing] the Chinese military" initiated the discussion.
A Google spokesperson told Business Insider on Wednesday: "We were pleased to have productive conversations with the President about investing in the future of the American workforce, the growth of emerging technologies and our ongoing commitment to working with the U.S. government."

Last week Google denied working with the Chinese military after a tweet from Trump accused it of doing so.

"We are not working with the Chinese military," Google said.

Google - which opened an AI lab in Beijing in late 2017 - says on its website that its AI activities in China focus on "education, research on natural language understanding and market algorithms, and development of globally available tools."

Google requested a meeting with the U.S.'s top general, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, after he called the tech company out for conducting work that directly benefitted China's military, while refusing to work with the U.S. military.

"The general is tentatively scheduled to meet with a senior Google official in Washington DC at Google's request," said Dunford's spokesman, Air Force Col. Pat Ryder in an email on Thursday.

Dunford first revealed the meeting during a discussion on Thursday at the Atlantic Council, where he was speaking about great power competition with China and Russia.

When Google's boss sits down with a top U.S. military official on Wednesday, the conversation will likely center on Google's presence in China – particularly a lab that may be more trouble for the company than it's worth.

Sundar Pichai, chief executive officer of Alphabet Inc.'s Google, will meet in Washington D.C. with General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, according to a person familiar with the situation. The internet giant extended the invitation after criticism from Dunford about Google's artificial intelligence work in China, which he said "indirectly benefits the Chinese military."

As Smith warned that the Pentagon could lose its funding flexibility, specifically the department's reprogramming privileges, Shanahan said the risks have been weighed and the Department of Defense understands the potential consequences.

The top US general will meet with Google next week to discuss the 'second and third order of effects' for the company's business efforts in China
Associated Press
Mar. 22, 2019, 3:05 PM

The top US military officer will meet with Google representatives next week amid growing concerns that American companies doing business in China are helping its military gain ground on the US.
Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Wednesday that efforts like Google's artificial intelligence venture in China allow the Chinese military to access and take advantage of US-developed technology.
"This is not about me and Google," Dunford said, in part. "This is about us looking at the second and third order of effects of our business ventures in China."
In a statement last week Google said it is not working with the Chinese military, but that its AI activities in China are focused on "education, research on natural language understanding and market algorithms, and development of globally available tools."

The top US military officer will meet with Google representatives next week amid growing concerns that American companies doing business in China are helping its military gain ground on the US.

Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Wednesday that efforts like Google's artificial intelligence venture in China allow the Chinese military to access and take advantage of US-developed technology.

"This is not about me and Google," Dunford told an audience at the Atlantic Council. "This is about us looking at the second and third order of effects of our business ventures in China, Chinese form of government, and the impact it's going to have on the United States' ability to maintain a competitive military advantage."

Google says its AI activities in China are focused on "education, research on natural language understanding and market algorithms, and development of globally available tools."

In a statement last week Google said it is not working with the Chinese military. And the company said that it continues to work with the US government, including the Defense Department, in many areas, including cybersecurity, recruiting and healthcare.

Dunford's comments reflect widespread US government worries that any information or data an American company has or uses as it does business in China is automatically available to the Chinese government and its military.

US companies in China are required to have a cell of the communist party present, said Dunford, adding, "that will lead to that intellectual property from that company finding its way to the Chinese military."

Last week he and acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan expressed similar concerns during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.

"We watch with great concern when industry partners work in China knowing that there is that indirect benefit," Dunford said during the hearing. "And frankly, indirect may be not a full characterization of the way it really is. It's more of a direct benefit to the Chinese military."

Shanahan also noted that Google is stepping away from some Pentagon contracts.

Internal protests by workers at Google led the tech company to say last year that it is dropping out of Project Maven, which uses algorithms to interpret drone video images from conflict zones. Employees had complained that Google was helping with technology that could improve lethal targeting.

Shanahan told senators that $5 trillion of China's economy is state-owned enterprises, "so the technology that is developed in the civilian world transfers to the military world. It's a direct pipeline. Not only is there a transfer, there's also systemic theft of US technology that also facilitates even faster development of emerging technology."

As a result, Shanahan said the US military needs to continue to invest in artificial intelligence, adding that funding would double in the proposed 2020 budget.

The Joint Staff did not release details on the timing of Dunford's meeting next week or who would be attending from Google.

U.S. Marines are practicing seizing small islands using techniques learned in World War II as a possible conflict with China looms in the Pacific
US Marines recently led a simulated assault on a small island in the Pacific, honing skills that could be essential in a fight with China
The exercise involved the Army and Air Force, part of the Corps' efforts to refine the Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations concept
The mission simulated the process of securing advanced footholds for follow-on forces to conduct further military operations, with rapid redeployment
Gen. Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told Congress that the ability to seize advanced bases would be critical in a war with China
The U.S. military is practicing tactics that it last rehearsed more than 70 years ago in preparation for a possibly conflict with China.
It was during World War II that U.S. Marines moved quickly from island to island as they fought bloody battles again Japanese forces who were determined to dominate the Pacific.
The Marine Corps is now re-examining its island-hopping strategy for today's troops, as a possible conflict with China draws ever-closer.
The 31st MEU, supported by elements of the 3rd Marine Division, 3rd Marine Logistics Group, and 1st Marine Aircraft Wing; members of the Air Force 353rd Special Operations Group; and Army soldiers with 1st Battalion, 1st Special Forces Group, practiced seizing Ie Shima Island - a place where the Marine Corps often train.
After the Marines 'seized' the island's airfield, troops went on to established a Forward Arming and Refueling Point.
Aircraft including the Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighters and C-130J Super Hercules transport aircraft were also on hand to assist.
Rocket artillery units were brought in on board the C-130Js and there were simulated long-range precision-fire missions, Stealth fighters also conducted expeditionary strikes with precision-guided munitions according to Business Insider.

Government-Big Tech Collaboration Waging War Against the People

War By Other Means

On March 14, 2019, the Senate Armed Services Committee held a hearing on the budget for the Defense Department. Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan and General Joseph Dunford testified. When it was Senator Josh Hawley's turn to ask questions, he asked about Google. The following is a clip of the question and answer.

There was a technology plan that went along with Gibbon's testimony. The following is an excerpt from the report concerning the funding and requirement for the National Laboratories to work with the private sector in the development of technologies and to provide funding for the Universities and Extension Centers to do the same.

National Laboratories and Universities

GOAL: WORLD LEADERSHIP IN BASIC SCIENCE, MATHEMATICS, AND ENGINEERING

University Research
National Laboratories
Space Science and Exploration
Environmental Research

It is essential to recognize that technical advances depend on basic research in science, mathematics, and engineering. Scientific advances are the wellspring of the technical innovations whose benefits are seen in economic growth, improved health care, and many other areas. The federal government has invested heavily in basic research since the
Second World War and this support has paid enormous dividends. Our research universities are the best in the world; our national laboratories and-the research facilities they house attract scientists and engineers from around the globe. In almost every field, United States researchers lead their foreign colleagues in scientific citations, in Nobel prizes, and most other measures of scientific excellence.

University Research. The National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health provide the vast majority of Federal funding for university research. Since universities play dual roles of research and teaching, the long-term scientific and technological vitality of the U.S. depends upon adequate and sustained funding for university research grant programs at NSF, NIH, and other research agencies.

They've all had a lot of fun in Washington DC and they've all made a lot of money while the domestic economy was being bled out and the American workforce crushed but maybe just maybe the meaning of War in the Context of Everything Else is beginning to penetrate their armored skulls. The enemy isn't just out there, the enemy is also in here. They are in the National Laboratories, the Universities and they are in the halls of government. They've nearly killed the golden goose and now China is getting the golden eggs. We've been waiting for a return of serious adults (real Americans) to the beltway. Maybe this is the time? Maybe this year?

US denies report it is leaving up to 1,000 troops in Syria

The United States strongly denied Sunday a report that it intended to leave almost 1,000 troops in Syria, adding plans for a residual force of around 200 troops had not changed.

The Wall Street Journal had reported Sunday that as talks with Turkey, US-backed Kurdish forces and European allies have failed to produce a deal on a "safe zone" in northeastern Syria, the US now intended to keep working with Kurdish fighters in the country.

It quoted US officials as saying the plan could see up to 1,000 US forces spread across the country.

"A claim reported this evening by a major U.S. newspaper that the U.S. military is developing plans to keep nearly 1,000 U.S. troops in Syria is factually incorrect," General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in a statement.

"There has been no change to the plan announced in February and we continue to implement the President's direction to draw down U.S. forces to a residual presence."

But he added the US was continuing to "conduct detailed military planning with the Turkish General Staff to address Turkish security concerns along the Turkey-Syria border."

"Planning to date has been productive and we have an initial concept that will be refined in the coming days," he said.

"We are also conducting planning with other members of the Coalition who have indicated an intent to support the transition phase of operations into Syria."

President Donald Trump had abruptly announced in December the immediate and complete withdrawal of the 2,000 US troops deployed in northeastern Syria, declaring victory against the Islamic State group. The decision prompted his defense secretary Jim Mattis to quit.

Then, under pressure from Congress and the Pentagon, he agreed to leave a residual force of some 200 US troops, which he wants to be reinforced by allies in the anti-IS coalition.

An objective of the international force is to guarantee the security of its Syrian Kurd allies. Turkey, a NATO member, views the Kurdish combatants as terrorists, and the Europeans fear they would be vulnerable if Ankara launched an offensive.

Google denied that their work in China was aiding the country's military in response to recent comments made by President Donald Trump and other top U.S. military officials.

Trump said on March 16 that Google, an American company, was helping China but neglecting the United States. He also made reference to criticisms that the company helped promote Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election.

"Google is helping China and their military, but not the U.S. Terrible!" he wrote. "The good news is that they helped Crooked Hillary Clinton, and not Trump....and how did that turn out?"

Google is helping China and their military, but not the U.S. Terrible! The good news is that they helped Crooked Hillary Clinton, and not Trump....and how did that turn out?

- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 16, 2019

Days before the president's comments, the United States' top general, Marine General Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, detailed the link between Google and China.

"The work that Google is doing in China is indirectly benefiting the Chinese military," Dunford, said during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.

"We watch with great concern when industry partners work in China knowing that there is that indirect benefit," he said. "Frankly, 'indirect' may be not a full characterization of the way it really is, it is more of a direct benefit to the Chinese military."
A Google spokesperson denied such links to The Epoch Times, saying they were working in a number of other different areas with China.

"We are not working with the Chinese military. We are working with the U.S. government, including the Department of Defense, in many areas including cybersecurity, recruiting and healthcare," the spokesperson said via email on March 17.

During the hearing, Republican Senator Josh Hawley sharply criticized the tech company, referring to it as a "supposedly American company."

Last year, Google said it was no longer vying for a $10 billion cloud computing contract with the U.S. Defense Department, in part because the company's new ethical guidelines do not align with the project.

In June, Google said it would not renew a contract to help the U.S. military analyze aerial drone imagery when it expires, as the company sought to defuse an internal uproar over the deal.
Google has also faced bipartisan criticism since details leaked about them secretly developing a censored search app for the Chinese market named "Project Dragonfly." Google said it has "no plans" to relaunch a search engine in China, though it is continuing to study the idea.

Lawmakers, human rights advocates, and even some 1,400 of its own employees protested the project. In November last year, 11 Google engineers and managers published an open letter demanding that the company end the clandestine project.

Some of the concerns raised relate to whether Google will comply with the Chinese Communist Party's internet censorship and surveillance policies if it re-enters China's search engine market.

The Chinese regime runs the world's most sophisticated system of internet censorship, employing tens of thousands of people to manually delete or promote content according to the communist party line.

The regime requires foreign companies to censor topics it deems "sensitive," such as democracy, human rights, and the ongoing persecution in China of Falun Gong practitioners, underground Christians, human rights activists, and others. Companies are also forced to share with the regime any of their data stored in China.

Google Chief Executive Sundar Pichai has previously said that the company has invested in China for years and plans to continue to do so.

Bloomberg Says Boeing Should Be Thankful To China In Latest Example Of Globalist US Company Aiding Communist Regime

On the heels of Google being called out by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marine Corps Gen. Joseph Dunford, for aiding the communist regime in Beijing and helping the Chinese military while refusing to work with the U.S. Department of Defense, another globalist, #NeverTrump American company, Bloomberg, today declared America should thank China for grounding Boeing's number one product in terms of current profitability, the 737 Max 8.

This call to Chinese arms was done as China prepares to launch its competitor to the Max 8, the COMAC C919.

"Boeing, which at first resisted such a drastic step, owes China a debt of gratitude. Beijing's early action likely sped up the process and ensured that Boeing's reputation wasn't further damaged in the eyes of aviation regulators, airlines and - most crucially - the rapidly expanding flying public in China, one of the planemaker's biggest and most important markets," wrote Bloomberg.

Senate lawmakers hammer Pentagon officials on massive military budget

Democratic lawmakers hammered top military officials during a congressional hearing on Thursday, highlighting the uphill battle ahead for the Pentagon to push through its $718.3 billion budget for fiscal year 2020.

The lawmakers on the Senate Armed Services Committee grilled acting Defense Secretary Pat Shanahan and other Pentagon officials for "overloading" a war fund request, ongoing efforts to move defense money to construction of a U.S.-Mexico border wall, and sexual assaults in the military.

Overall, President Donald Trump's administration is requesting $750 billion for national security, which includes funding for the Pentagon and other agencies such as the Department of Energy. Of that, $174 billion is requested for a war fund also known as Overseas Contingency Operations, or OCO.

"We have been presented with a particularly egregious misuse of the OCO account," Rhode Island Sen. Jack Reed, the ranking Democrat on the Armed Services Committee, said during Thursday's hearing. "Overloading the OCO request... far exceeds any precedent and cannot be justified... and undercuts the integrity of the entire request."

Thursday's hearing, which included Shanahan, Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Deputy Defense Secretary David Norquist, comes on the heels of the Pentagon's release Monday of its service budget proposals.

US Military Doctrine: Nuclear Weapons, Cyber Attacks, Fifth Columns

On March 14, US Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan and Gen. Joseph Dunford, the Joint Chiefs of Staff chair, testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee on President Donald Trump's 2020 defense budget request.

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff came out with several important remarks regarding the current US military doctrine and its expected actions in the event of conflict with some "adversary".

Dunford warned against changing the current US military policy which allows the country to be the first to use nuclear weapons during a possible conflict. The general emphasized that he "absolutely" believes that "the current policy is the right policy".

"I wouldn't make any decisions to simplify an adversary's decision-making calculus. I can also imagine a few situations where we wouldn't want to remove that option from the president", he stressed.

Dunford added that cyber weapons will unlikely replace nuclear forces, but stressed that the US should be ready to carry out offensive cyber operations. Describing the need for cybyer operations, he mentioned China and Russia as well as cyber attacks allegedly conducted by these two states as the reason behind this need.

These remarks come in crouse of the newly appearing US miltiary doctrine, which actively employs nuclear threats, cyber attacks and 'fifth columns' in order to contain and defeat supposed US 'adversaries'. This doctrine was in details described by the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Russia General Valeriy Gerasimov earlier in March.

"Pentagon started to develop a qualitatively new strategy of military operations which has already been dubbed the "Trojan horse".

It amounts to active use of the "protest potential of a potential fifth column" in the interests of destabilizing situation while simultaneously precision-guided munition (PGM) strikes are launched at key targets," General Gerasimov sated describing a part of it.

Most likely, this new US doctrine is currently being employed in Venezuela. However, in the event of conflict with Russia the success of this strategy of agression will hardly be possible without the employment of nuclear forces, at least precision tactical nuclear strikes.

This is the real reason of Dunford's remarks in favor of the first-strike nuclear policy. The rest is mostly a formal justification for such an approach. Speculations that Russia may employ tactical nuclear weapons in some conflict in order to achieve a victory before the intervention of US or NATO forces are ridiculous. There are two main reasons:

The political and military doctrine of Russia does not include such provisions. The Russian leadership does not have levers to conduct such a step.
All possible local conflicts in which Russia may participate in the coming decades could appear in regions near Russian borders only. These are Ukraine, Belarus, the Caucasus and Central Asia. If one supposes that Russia is ready to use nuclear weapons in these regions, the same person should believe that Russia is ready to strike with nuclear weapons itself. This seems too much even for the "bloody Putin regime".

Top US general says Google 'is indirectly benefiting the Chinese military'

By Ryan Browne, CNN

Updated 5:04 PM ET, Thu March 14, 2019

(CNN)America's top general said Thursday that Google's work in China "is indirectly benefiting the Chinese military."
"The work that Google is doing in China is indirectly benefiting the Chinese military and I've been very public on this issue as well," Gen. Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said while testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee.
"We watch with great concern when industry partners work in China knowing that there is that indirect benefit and frankly indirect may be not a full characterization of the way it really is, it's more of a direct benefit to the Chinese military," Dunford added.
Dunford has long questioned why US-based tech firms have resisted working with the Department of Defense while simultaneously doing business with geopolitical competitors like China.

CNN previously reported that Google intended to end its cooperation with the Pentagon on several projects, including the Project Maven program which used artificial intelligence to enhance military drone operations following complaints from employees.
The company also recently dropped a bid for a Pentagon cloud storage contract, citing concerns that working with the Defense Department could conflict with its principles.
"The way I described it to our industry partners is: look we're the good guys and the values that we represent and the system we represent is the one that will allow and has allowed you to thrive," Dunford said Thursday.
Google has "a lack of willingness to support DoD programs," acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan also told the committee on Thursday.
He said that China often uses civilian technology to bolster its military forces.
"The technology that is developed in the civil world, transfers to the military world, it's a direct pipeline," Shanahan said.
A spokesperson for Google declined to address Dunford's comments that the company's work was benefiting the Chinese military but told CNN that despite its exiting several Pentagon projects, Google does continue to work with the Department of Defense in some areas.
"We deeply respect the US military and we are working with them to solve problems in areas like cybersecurity, logistics, transportation and planning," the spokesperson said.

"We are in a struggle with the Chinese government over whether or not they're going to become a regional and maybe global hegemon with values very different from ours, certainly values that do not favor freedom in the world," Hawley said.
"We have an American company that does not want to do work with our defense department which is one thing, but they're happy to help the Chinese, at least the Chinese government that is, the Chinese military, at least indirectly, I think that's just extraordinary," he added.

Dunford and acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan both criticized Google during the hearing for pulling out of its defense contracts while also doing work in China. The internet search giant decided not to move forward with Pentagon work after facing internal pressure from employees who were concerned about the prospect that their technology was being used for lethal purposes.

Google's Work in China Benefiting China's Military, Top US General Says

WASHINGTON-The United States' top general said on March 14 that the Chinese military was benefiting from the work Alphabet Inc's Google was doing in China, where the technology giant has long sought to have a bigger presence.

"The work that Google is doing in China is indirectly benefiting the Chinese military," Marine General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.

"We watch with great concern when industry partners work in China knowing that there is that indirect benefit," he said. "Frankly, 'indirect' may be not a full characterization of the way it really is, it is more of a direct benefit to the Chinese military."

Last year Google said it was no longer vying for a $10 billion cloud computing contract with the U.S. Defense Department, in part because the company's new ethical guidelines do not align with the project.

In June, Google said it would not renew a contract to help the U.S. military analyze aerial drone imagery when it expires, as the company sought to defuse an internal uproar over the deal.

At the same time, Google said it has "no plans" to relaunch a search engine in China, though it is continuing to study the idea.

During the hearing, Republican Senator Josh Hawley sharply criticized the tech company, referring to it as "a supposedly American company."

Technology companies have recently been a target of many members of the U.S. Congress, who have criticized them over a wide range of issues such as privacy, work in China and allowing foreign meddling in U.S. elections.

Lawmakers and Google employees have raised concerns that the company would comply with China's internet censorship and surveillance policies if it re-enters the Asian nation's search engine market.

Asked about Dunford's comments, Google referred to previous statements.

Google Chief Executive Sundar Pichai has previously said the company has invested in China for years and plans to continue to do so, but that the company also was continuing to work with the U.S. government on projects in healthcare, cybersecurity and other fields.

Concerned Citizen Contacts New Attorney General about Obama's "Usurpation" (Robert Laity)
"This Matter Is Now in Your Hands"
(Feb. 16, 2019) - On Friday, reader, Navy veteran and presidential eligibility activist Robert Laity informed us that he sent a letter to newly-installed U.S. Attorney General William P. Barr regarding his contention that Barack Hussein Obama II "usurped" the office of the presidency due to his constitutional ineligibility.

Barr, 68, was confirmed on Thursday in a 54-45 vote in the U.S. Senate.

In his February 15, 2019 communication to Barr, Laity enclosed a copy of a letter sent by certified mail to President Donald Trump, then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Joseph Dunford in April 2017 outlining his concerns.

"The matter is now in your hands," Laity wrote to Barr. "I trust that you will investigate this matter. I await your response."

It was Trump who in early 2011 openly aired his doubts as to Obama's eligibility based on the White House's failure to release a "long-form" birth certificate to prove that Obama was born in Hawaii, as he has claimed. In June 2008, a "short-form" Certification of Life Birth was released by an unconfirmed party, later said to have been Tommy Vietor, then a member of Obama's campaign. The image's authenticity was immediately questioned for several reasons, and the Hawaii Department of Health (HDOH) never confirmed that it produced the document represented by the image.

Lindsey Graham Pitches Syria Safe Zone to Prevent ISIS Reemergence

MUNICH, GERMANY - Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told Breitbart News that he is proposing a plan to keep a "small percentage" of U.S. troops in Syria, after the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria's (ISIS) caliphate is destroyed.

"The bottom line is we can reduce our presence, but there needs to be some U.S. forces - a small percentage compared to what we have today, making sure our gains are maintained," he said in an interview Friday at the Munich Security Conference.

Graham is hoping to get allies and partners onboard with creating a stabilizing force that could maintain a safe zone in northern Syria, along its border with Turkey.

He said the safe zone would help prevent ISIS's reemergence, as well as the prospect of a new war between Turkey and the Syrian Democratic Forces - a group of primarily Kurdish fighters who helped the U.S. defeat ISIS on the ground. He also said it would reduce Iranian influence.

"This stabilizing force, within a safe zone to prevent the reemergence of ISIS, would lessen the conflict between Turkey and people inside of Syria we actually work with, and make it almost impossible for Iran to be the biggest winner of any withdrawal," he said.

He said the U.S. could "substantially withdraw" its forces from the approximately 2,700 there now.

He declined to give an exact number of U.S. troops that would be needed for the stabilizing force but said he wanted to leave U.S. airpower and technology in Syria.

"There's certain capability we have that nobody [can] substitute. Airpower and technology," he said.

He said the U.S.'s top military officer, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, would be asking allies to contribute forces.

"So they do more, we do less, but there's still a unique role for America. But the post-caliphate footprint for America will be substantially smaller," he said.

Graham said he talked to President Trump on Friday, right before pitching his plan at the conference. The Munich Security Conference is the largest annual gathering of world leaders, military officials, and national security experts in Europe.

The proposal comes as the U.S.-led military coalition is getting closer to taking back all of the land that ISIS once controlled in Iraq and Syria. Graham said at the conference that the fight is down to a "couple [of] kilometers" in Baghouz, Syria.

"I want to congratulate President Trump for focusing on destroying the caliphate like a laser. After his visit to Iraq, he saw that we could destroy the caliphate and he's brought it about. We're down to a couple of kilometers inside of one city, so the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria is no more," he said.

Graham touted the U.S.-led military operation in Syria as a success. "It's probably the best military operation in history - 2,700 [troops], eight casualties. God bless the casualties, but it's been low casualties. Most of the fighting's been done by indigenous people," he said.

Graham said his hope is to not repeat the mistakes of the Iraq War, when President Obama withdrew all U.S. forces from Iraq in 2011, only to have to send troops back when the terrorist threat from Al Qaeda in Iraq morphed into ISIS.

"My hope is once the caliphate's destroyed, just within a day of it that we will not repeat the mistakes in Iraq," he said. "?Then you hopefully go to Geneva and get an agreement for the Syrian people."

Graham: The US is looking for allies to replace it in Syria

MUNICH - With the U.S. due to announce the Islamic State group is destroyed and its troops withdrawing from Syria, it is looking for allies to step in and help stabilize the region, Sen. Lindsey Graham said Friday.

Speaking at the 2019 Munich Security Conference, Graham told the assembly of world leaders that the U.S. chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Joseph Dunford, "would be coming to some of you in this room, and he will be asking for a contribution of forces to stabilize the region, post destruction of the caliphate."

Graham called for a lean, joint military presence to enforce a safe zone that would protect American-backed Kurdish forces in Syria from Turkey, watch for the reemergence of ISIS and buy time for a Syria peace process in Geneva.

He echoed President Donald Trump's recent announcements that ISIS - through the work of a multinational coalition - is all but defeated. The militant group holds only "a couple of kilometers and one town," Graham said.

During a White House event earlier in the day, Trump said: "We have a lot of great announcements having to do with Syria and our success with the eradication of the caliphate, and that will be announced over the next 24 hours."

Ahead of that announcement, Graham said in Munich: "The Islamic State in Syria and Iraq is dead. It has been destroyed." He congratulated Trump for "pouring on the gas in the last month or so. To every nation who's contributed to this effort, God bless you."

It's unclear whether Graham was speaking for him or not about follow-on forces. The South Carolina Republican and Senate Foreign Relations Committee member is a confidant of Trump and an influential voice on U.S. foreign policy.

"I am hoping that President Trump will be coming to you and you will say, 'yes,' and in return the capability we have that's unique to the United States will still be in the fight," he said.

Senator warns Syria could become 'Iraq on steroids' as Trump receives remains

Senator Lindsey Graham said on Saturday he hoped Donald Trump would slow the US withdrawal from Syria until Islamic State is destroyed, warning that if not thought through, the pullout can create an "Iraq on steroids".

A bomb attack in Manbij this week, claimed by the militant group, killed two US troops and two civilians working for the US military in northern Syria, along with other civilians.

Trump was due to attend the repatriation of the bodies at Dover air base in Delaware. On Twitter, the president wrote that he would "be with the families of 4 very special people who lost their lives in service to our Country!"

Graham, from South Carolina, is a friend and ally of the president who regularly claims to have his ear. Speaking in Ankara, he also said he believed the chair of the joint chiefs of staff, Joseph Dunford, was working on a plan with Turkey to move Kurdish fighters away from the Turkish border.

Trump announced last month that Isis had been defeated in Syria and he would pull US forces out of the country. The decision injected new uncertainty into the eight-year Syrian war and spurred a flurry of contacts over how a resulting security vacuum will be filled across northern and eastern Syria.

The withdrawal of US troops from Iraq by the end of 2011, nine years after the 2003 US-led invasion, left space for the rise of Isis militants, prompting the US to intervene again.

The attack in Manbij appeared to be the deadliest on US forces in Syria since they deployed on the ground there in 2015. The town is controlled by a militia allied to US-backed Kurdish forces.

It remains unclear when US forces will leave northern Syria, where both Turkey and the Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad are ready to fill the vacuum. The YPG militia allied to the fighters holding Manbij last month invited Assad into the area around the town to forestall a potential Turkish assault.

The Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdo?an, said last week he had discussed a safe zone with Trump, which Turkey would set up inside Syria along their border.

"Here's the good news," said Graham. "Gen Dunford, I think, has a plan that he's working on with the Turkish military that can accomplish these objectives and they are to move the YPG elements away from Turkey."

He also said heavy armaments should be taken from the Kurdish groups. Turkey says the YPG is a terrorist organisation and an extension of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers party (PKK). Graham also said the political arm of the YPG was interlinked and interconnected with the PKK, which has waged a decades-long insurgency on Turkish soil.

"A withdrawal that does not outline the points I have made will not end the war against Isis, it will start a new war," he said. "This war will be a necessity by Turkey, to go into Syria and clear out armed elements that Turkey believes poses a threat to its sovereignty."

A Turkish official told Reuters the US should consider Turkey's priorities, not those of the YPG.

"After [Graham's] meetings in Turkey, Erdo?an and other officials, we hope the US will understand more the situation," the official said.

Bolton Leaving Turkey After Erdogan Rejects Meeting Request

TEHRAN (FNA)- US President Donald Trump's National Security Adviser John Bolton is preparing to leave Ankara after Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan denied his requested meeting.

Erdogan earlier in the day slammed statements Bolton made that Washington's condition for a troop withdrawal from Syria is that Turkey protects the PKK's Syrian affiliate People's Protection Units (YPG), Daily Sabah reported.

Commenting on the development, Erdogan told reporters that Presidential Adviser Ibrahim Kalin is Bolton's Turkish counterpart. The two held a meeting on Syria at the Presidential Complex in Ankara earlier on Tuesday.

Erdogan said at the Justice and Development (AK Party) Party's parliamentary group meeting on Tuesday morning that Bolton's comments on the YPG were unacceptable, and that Turkey could not accept the US' stated condition.

Bolton stated on Sunday that the US military withdrawal from Northeastern Syria is conditioned on defeating the remnants of Daesh terrorist group, and on Turkey assuring the safety of fighters allied with the United States - the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which is dominated by the YPG terrorists.

Bolton and Kalin had a productive discussion regarding the United States' decision to withdraw from Syria, Spokesperson for the US National Security Council Garrett Marquis said after the meeting on Tuesday morning.

Marquis added in a statement that the two sides had identified further issues for dialogue and that the US looks forward to ongoing military-to-military consultations.

US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford and James Jeffrey, the US Special Representative for Syria and the Special Envoy for the Anti-Daesh Coalition, also attended the meeting that lasted a little over two hours.

The US five-point 'non-paper' for Syria delivered by Bolton to Turkey

ISTANBUL, Turkey - US diplomats and military officials failed to present any specific details to their Turkish counterparts about Washington's plans to withdraw its forces from northern Syria during National Security Adviser John Bolton's visit to Ankara on Tuesday, Middle East Eye has learned.

Turkish officials had been expecting Bolton and his entourage to bring with them draft plans for the withdrawal of about 2,000 soldiers deployed as part of the US-led campaign against Islamic State (IS) militants following US President Donald Trump's announcement last month of his intention to pull them out of Syria.

But the US delegation instead delivered what Turkish officials described as a "non-paper", an unofficial diplomatic note listing a country's position on certain matters which is open for discussion.

The five-point document proposed a negotiated solution addressing Turkish security concerns about the YPG, the Syrian Kurdish militia which Ankara accuses of links to the banned Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) but which has played a leading role as a US ally in the ground campaign against IS.

It also reiterated that the US withdrawal would be "deliberate and orderly", but US officials did not present any operational information or discuss a timetable or post-pullout planning, a Turkish official told MEE, speaking on condition of anonymity due to government protocol.

Those in attendance with Bolton during the two-hour meeting at the presidential palace included General Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the highest-ranking officer in the US military and the principal military adviser to Trump and senior officials, and James Jeffrey, the US special envoy to the anti-IS coalition.

Turkish officials attending the talks were led by Ibrahim Kalin, the spokesperson for the Turkish presidency.

Dunford on Mission to Protect Syrian Kurds from Threatened Attack by Turkey

Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford arrived in Ankara on Monday to join a delegation led by National Security Adviser John Bolton to warn NATO ally Turkey against attacking the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces.

Dunford has maintained contact with Gen. Yasar Guler, chief of the Turkish General Staff, and Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar and was expected to meet with both following what appeared to be a major shift on the withdrawal plan outlined over the weekend by Bolton.

Both Guler and Akar have echoed Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's intention to wipe out the Syrian Kurdish YPG (People's Protection Units), the main fighting force within the SDF, in the effort to eliminate the last remnants of the Islamic State in Syria

Immediately following U.S. President Donald Trump's surprise announcement Dec. 19 via Twitter that U.S. troops in Syria would be withdrawn, Akar said that the Turkish military was preparing "intensely for a counter-terrorism military operation" against the YPG in northeastern Syria.

"Whatever they dig, be it trenches or tunnels, when the time comes, they will be buried in the trenches that they dug," Akar said of the YPG, according to Turkey's state-run Anadolu news agency.

In his last contact with Guler a week before Trump's withdrawal announcement, Dunford defended the presence of observation posts set up by U.S. troops in northern Syria.

Dunford and Guler discussed "the U.S. observation posts in the northeast Syria border region, which were established to address Turkish security concerns," according to a Dec. 14 release from the Joint Chiefs.

Pentagon officials on Monday declined to discuss the current status of the observation posts.

In late November, at an informal session with Pentagon reporters, then-Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said he had ordered the observation posts be set up to "track any threat we can spot going up into Turkey." He also acknowledged that the posts served the dual purpose of protecting the YPG from the Turkish military.

The Army's top officer, Gen. Mark Milley, makes surprise stop in Kabul

KABUL, Afghanistan - The U.S. Army's chief of staff made a surprise visit to the capital Kabul where he met Afghan President Ashraf Ghani to discuss prospects for a peaceful end to the country's 17-year war, the United States' longest.

In a statement late Thursday, Ghani's office said Gen. Mark A. Milley supported Afghan-led talks with the Taliban, although the burden of getting the two sides to the table seems to have fallen to Washington's newly appointed peace envoy Zalmay Khalilzad.

Khalilzad has met several times with Taliban insurgents since his appointment in September. They have consistently refused direct talks with Ghani's representatives calling the Kabul government U.S. puppets.

Another round of U.S.-Taliban talks are reportedly scheduled for later this month in Doha, Qatar, where the insurgents maintain a political office.

President Donald Trump announced last month that Milley was his pick to succeed Marine Corps Gen. Joseph Dunford as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Dunford's term ends Oct. 1.

Trump adviser: U.S. to leave Syria once IS beaten, Kurds safe

JERUSALEM - U.S. troops will not leave northeastern Syria until Islamic State militants are defeated and American-allied Kurdish fighters are protected, a top White House aide said Sunday, signaling a pause to a withdrawal abruptly announced last month and initially expected to be completed within weeks.

While U.S. national security adviser John Bolton said there is now no timetable, President Donald Trump reaffirmed his commitment to withdrawing U.S. troops, though he said "we won't be finally pulled out until ISIS is gone."

Trump had said in his Dec. 19 withdrawal announcement that U.S. forces "have defeated ISIS in Syria, my only reason for being there during the Trump Presidency," and added in a video posted to Twitter, "Now it's time for our troops to come back home."

Bolton said in Israel that the U.S. would pull out only after its troops had rooted out what's left of IS in Syria and after the administration had reached an agreement with Turkey to protect Kurdish militias who have fought alongside Americans against the extremists.

In Washington, Trump told reporters at the White House that "we are pulling back in Syria. We're going to be removing our troops. I never said we're doing it that quickly." But in that Dec. 19 video, the president had said of the roughly 2,000 U.S. troops in Syria: "They're all coming back, and they're coming back now."

And officials said at the time that while many details were yet to be finalized, they expected American forces to be out by mid-January.

"I think this is the reality setting in that you got to plan this out," said U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. He told CBS' "Face the Nation" that "the bottom line here is we want to make sure we get this right, that ISIS doesn't come back. And I applaud the president for re-evaluating what he's doing. ... He has a goal in mind of reducing our presence. I share that goal. Let's just do it smartly."

Trump's decision last month drew widespread criticism from allies, led to the resignation of U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and raised fears over clearing the way for a Turkish assault on the Kurdish fighters. Turkey considers the Syrian Kurdish People's Protection Units, or YPG, a terrorist group linked to an insurgency within its own borders.

'There are objectives that we want to accomplish that condition the withdrawal," Bolton told reporters in Jerusalem. "The timetable flows from the policy decisions that we need to implement."

He was to be in Turkey on Monday, accompanied by the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford, for talks with government officials.

Bolton said the U.S. wants its Kurdish allies in Syria protected from any planned Turkish offensive - a warning to be delivered to Turkey's president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

"We don't think the Turks ought to undertake military action that's not fully coordinated with and agreed to by the United States," Bolton said. He said that in upcoming meetings with Turkish officials, he will seek "to find out what their objectives and capabilities are and that remains uncertain."

Bolton said Trump has made clear he would not allow Turkey to kill the Kurds. "That's what the president said, the ones that fought with us," Bolton said.

Bolton said the U.S. has asked the Kurds to "stand fast now" and refrain from seeking protection from Russia or Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government. "I think they know who their friends are," he added, speaking of the Kurds.
Jim Jeffrey, the special representative for Syrian engagement and the newly named American special envoy for the anti-Islamic State coalition, is to travel to Syria this coming week in an effort to reassure the Kurdish fighters that they are not being abandoned, Bolton said.

Turkey's presidential spokesman called allegations that his country planned to attack the U.S.-allied Kurds in Syria "irrational" and said Turkey was fighting terrorism for national security.

In comments carried by the official Anadolu news agency, Ibrahim Kalin said the Kurdish fighters oppressed Syrian Kurds and pursued a separatist agenda under the guise of fighting IS. "That a terror organization cannot be allied with the U.S. is self-evident," he said.

Bolton: U.S. 'Very Supportive' of Israeli Strikes Against Iranian Targets in Syria

President Donald Trump's national security adviser, John Bolton, said Sunday that the U.S. military withdrawal from northeastern Syria is conditioned on defeating the remnants of the Islamic State group, and on Turkey assuring the safety of Kurdish fighters allied with the United States.

Bolton, who traveled to Israel to reassure the U.S. ally of the Trump-ordered withdrawal, said there is no timetable for the pullout of American forces in northeastern Syria, but insisted it's not an unlimited commitment.

"There are objectives that we want to accomplish that condition the withdrawal," Bolton told reporters in Jerusalem. "The timetable flows from the policy decisions that we need to implement."

Those conditions, he said, included the defeat of remnants of IS in Syria, and protections for Kurdish militias who have fought alongside U.S. troops against the extremist group.

Bolton's comments mark the first public confirmation that the drawdown has been slowed, as Trump faced widespread criticism from allies and the resignation of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis for a policy that was to have been conducted within weeks.

Trump announced in mid-December that the U.S. will withdraw all of its 2,000 forces in Syria. Trump's move has raised fears over clearing the way for a Turkish assault on Kurdish fighters in Syria who fought alongside American troops against IS extremists. Turkey considers the Syrian Kurdish People's Protection Units, or YPG, a terrorist group linked to an insurgency within its own borders.

Bolton, who is to travel on to Turkey on Monday, said the U.S. is insisting that its Kurdish allies in the fight against the Islamic State group are protected from any planned Turkish offensive. He is to deliver a warning to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan this week.

"We don't think the Turks ought to undertake military action that's not fully coordinated with and agreed to by the United States," Bolton said. He said in meetings with Turkish counterparts, he will seek "to find out what their objectives and capabilities are and that remains uncertain."

Trump has stated that he would not allow Turkey to kill the Kurds, Bolton said. "That's what the president said, the ones that fought with us."

Bolton said the U.S. has asked its Kurdish allies to "stand fast now" and refrain from seeking protection from Russia or Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government. "I think they know who their friends are," he added, speaking of the Kurds.

He said Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford would continue negotiations with his Turkish counterparts this week to seek protection for America's Kurdish allies in Syria.

Moscow, Pentagon Discuss Syria, Counter-Terrorism Issues - Russian MoD

Chief of the Russian General Staff Valery Gerasimov and Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Joseph Dunford discussed the situation in Syria and the fight against terrorism during their telephone talks on Friday, the Russian Defense Ministry said.

"During their talks, the counterparts exchanged opinions on the situation in Syria and fight against terrorism, as well as other pressing issues of mutual interest," the ministry said in a statement. Gerasimov and Dunford also reaffirmed the importance of maintaining the existing channel of communication, according to the statement.

On December 5, Gerasimov said that Russia had suggested to the United States that it eliminate its military base located in the southeastern Syrian city of Al Tanf and establish joint Russian-US control over the zone instead. According to Gerasimov, Washington has not provided an answer to that proposal. The general also stressed that the United States justified its presence in Al Tanf by the necessity of countering Iran, which is allegedly transporting weapons and military equipment to Syria.

US President Donald Trump has announced the start of the US troop withdrawal from the war-torn country, claiming that the Daesh terrorist group has been defeated, and since US troops were present in Syria exclusively to fight, they now had no reason to remain there.

Gerasimov also said in December that the Daesh militants in Syria are present only east of the Euphrates, on US-controlled territory, stressing that the so-called Daesh "sleeping" cells have progressed to active operations and begun to expand their zones of influence.

Trump Scores, Breaks Generals' 50-Year War Record

His national security team had been trying to box him in like every other president. But he called their bluff.

The mainstream media has attacked President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria as impulsive, blindsiding his own national security team. But detailed, published accounts of the policy process over the course of the year tell a very different story. They show that senior national security officials and self-interested institutions have been playing a complicated political game for months aimed at keeping Trump from wavering on our indefinite presence on the ground in Syria.

The entire episode thus represents a new variant of a familiar pattern dating back to Vietnam in which national security advisors put pressure on reluctant presidents to go along with existing or proposed military deployments in a war zone. The difference here is that Trump, by publicly choosing a different policy, has blown up their transparent schemes and offered the country a new course, one that does not involve a permanent war state.

The relationship between Trump and his national security team has been tense since the beginning of his administration. By mid-summer 2017, Defense Secretary James Mattis and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Joseph Dunford had become so alarmed at Trump's negative responses to their briefings justifying global U.S. military deployments that they decided to do a formal briefing in "the tank," used by the Joint Chiefs for meetings at the Pentagon.

But when Mattis and Dunford sang the praises of the "rules-based, international democratic order" that has "kept the peace for 70 years," Trump simply shook his head in disbelief.

By the end of that year, however, Mattis, Dunford, and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo believed they'd succeeded in getting Trump to use U.S. troops not only to defeat Islamic State but to "stabilize" the entire northeast sector of Syria and balance Russian and Iranian-sponsored forces. Yet they ignored warning signs of Trump's continuing displeasure with their vision of a more or less permanent American military presence in Syria.

In a March rally in Ohio ostensibly about health care reform, Trump suddenly blurted out, "We're coming out of Syria, like, very soon. Let the other people take care of it now. Very soon-very soon we're coming out."

Then in early April 2018, Trump's impatience with his advisors on Syria boiled over into a major confrontation at a National Security Council meeting, where he ordered them unequivocally to accept a fundamentally different Syria deployment policy.

US preparing to sink Obama-signed nuke control treaty with complaints about Russian missile - Lavrov

The US may be preparing to torpedo the New START deal with Russia, which limits the number of nuclear weapons each country can have, in its latest escalation over a Russian missile "violating" the INF arms treaty, Moscow says.

The suspicion was voiced by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in response to remarks by US Joint Chief of Staff Chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford, who said the New START treaty may be affected by the current quarrel, between the two countries, over another key agreement, the INF Treaty.

New START was signed in 2010 by then-presidents Dmitry Medvedev and Barack Obama. It set limits on how many nuclear warheads, and means for their delivery, each country can possess. It replaced an earlier agreement signed by US and USSR and is due to expire in 2021, with an option of a five-year extension.

The INF in turn was agreed in late years of the Cold War and banned a certain class of weapons - land-based ballistic and cruise missiles if intermediate range - to reduce tension in Europe. The mass deployment of such missiles by NATO nations and the Warsaw Pact Organization on the continent was deemed too risky, since it made the possibility of a nuclear war by mistake too likely.

"I have seen the statement that if the INF no longer exists, then the New START will be put in question," Lavrov told journalists on Friday.

It seems that the ground is being laid to eventually scrap this document too.

The INF has had a bumpy road over the past decade as tension between the US and Russia escalated. Washington claims Russia has secretly developed a missile that violates the terms of the treaty. Moscow says the US has de facto made its Tomahawk missiles land-based with the creation of the AEGIS Ashore, the land-based version of the naval anti-missile system that uses launchers compatible with the iconic cruise missiles.

US not discussing military response to Kerch Strait incident - general

"Obviously my job in uniform is to make sure that the President has options available, should he decide to respond with military force," he added.

WASHINGTON, December 7. /TASS/. The United States has not been discussing the possibility of a military response to the recent incident in the Kerch Strait, in which Russia had to detain three Ukrainian warships for violating its border, the US highest-ranking military officer said on Thursday.

"There has been no military response… not has been a discussion about a military response," Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford told reporters at a conference organized by The Washington Post.

"There is not a discussion ongoing right now in the military dimension in response to Sea of Azov. Obviously my job in uniform is to make sure that the President has options available, should he decide to respond with military force," he added.

The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) reported on November 25 that the Ukrainian warships, the Berdyansk, the Nikopol and the Yany Kapu, had breached the Russian state border on Sunday morning and attempted to carry out illegal maneuvers in Russia's territorial waters later. The Ukrainian vessels ignored the legitimate demands of the Coast Guard of the FSB Border Service and the Black Sea Fleet to stop immediately and end their dangerous action. The Ukrainian warships carried on, blatantly disregarding these orders, which triggered a chase involving some gunfire to stop them. Consequently, the ships were detained in Russian territorial waters.

After the incident, the Kiev government accused Russia of blocking Azov Sea ports of Mariupol and Berdyansk. Russian authorities denied the reports, saying they never prohibited the navigation of ships via the Kerch Strait.

Pentagon Aims to Train Up to 40,000 Local Stabilization Troops in Syria

US and allied forces in eastern Syria need to complete training between 35,000 to 40,000 local troops to establish stability in eastern Syria following the defeat and expulsion of the Daesh terror group in those areas, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Joseph Dunford said.

"We estimate about 35,000 to 40,000 local forces have to be trained and equipped in order to provide stability," Dunford said at a Washington Post event on Thursday. "We are probably somewhere along the line of 20 percent through the training of those forces."

Dunford explained that the stabilization process would need to continue for an indefinite period of time in eastern Syria.

"With regard to stabilization we still have a long way to go. We can say our presence in Syria right now is sustainable and can be adjusted based on conditions," he said.

Dunford gave no details of the number of US Special Operations Command troops that were currently operating in eastern, Syria, but he did say there were no plans to evacuate them.

When asked if the US forces in eastern Syria would be maintained in the region for the foreseeable future, Dunford replied, "No. That's right... They're not leaving any time soon."

The training of local forces was necessary to re-establish effective local government and services in the region including sewage, law and order and electric power, Dunford said.

Ankara Slams US Plan To Establish Observation Posts Along Turkish-Syrian Border
On November 24, Turkey's Minister of Defense, Hulusi Akar, criticized a U.S. plan to establish observation posts along the Syrian-Turkish border and said that such measure would further complicate the situation in northeastern Syria.
"I am of the opinion that these measures will only complicate further an already complicated situation," Akar told the Turkish Anadolu Agency.
Akar also revealed that he conveyed Turkey's "discomfort" to the U.S. plan during a meeting with Gen. Joseph Dunford, the U.S. joint chiefs of staff chairman, last week on the sidelines of the Halifax International Security Forum in Canada.
"We have stated that the observation points to be established by the U.S. troops on the Syrian border will have a very negative impact [...] and in the course of our discussions we expressed that it could lead to a perception that 'U.S. soldiers are somehow protecting terrorist [Kurdish People's Protection Units] YPG members and shield them," said Akar. U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis revealed earlier this week that U.S. forces will establish several observation posts in the SDF-held part of the Syrian-Turkish border. Mattis claimed that the posts will address Turkey's "legitimate" concerns about "terror threats" in northeastern Syria.

U.S. Envoy: We Are Not Committed To Regime Change In Syria
U.S. special envoy to Syria, James Jeffrey, claimed that that Washington is not working anymore to change the regime in Syria. However, the diplomat stressed the need for a political process in the war torn country.
"We are committed to a political process that is with and by the Syrian people. The Syrian people get to decide who will lead them and what kind of a government they will have. We are not committed to any kind of regime change. We are committed to a change in the behavior of that regime," Jeffrey said during an interview with the Russian news agency RIA Novosti and the Kommersant newspaper, according to the news outlet, Sputnik.
Jeffery also denied that the U.S. has any plan to divide Syria and claimed that Washington has always supported the territorial integrity of the country.
"The United States has supported the territorial integrity of Syria at every point in this conflict and before, and we will continue to do so. The presence of American forces carrying out anti-terrorist operations does not indicate any desire to break apart a country," Jeffery said.
While the U.S. diplomat renewed his calls for an Iranian withdrawal from Syria, he openly admitted that Washington will not ease its sanctions on Tehran if it complies with this demand.
"The idea of a trade of Iranian withdrawal for American relief on sanctions on Iran to come up, that's something that under no circumstances would we accept," Jeffrey stressed.

US military chief says tech giants should work with Pentagon, not China

The top US military officer said on Saturday that it is problematic that American tech companies do no want to work with the Pentagon but are willing to engage with the Chinese.

US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Joseph Dunford told the Halifax International Security Forum in Nova Scotia that the US and its allies are the "good guys".

"I have a hard time with companies that are working very hard to engage in the market inside China, then don't want to work with the US military," he said. "I just have a simple expression: "We are the good guys."

Earlier this year, thousands signed a petition asking Google's chief executive to cancel Project Maven, which provides the Pentagon with the company's artificially intelligent algorithms to interpret video images and improve the targeting of drone strikes

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: There is no plan for border troops to deny entry to illegals

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford told reporters Monday that U.S. troops deployed to the southern border are there to assist the Department of Homeland Security, and not "the actual mission of denying people entry to the United States."
What are the details?

Last week, the Pentagon announced it would send 5,200 additional troops to the U.S.-Mexico border in "Operation Faithful Patriot," a mission aimed to "harden the points of entry" as a caravan of migrants approaches the U.S. border from the south.

That same day, President Donald Trump posted on Twitter that "many gang members and some very bad people are mixed into the caravan," and warned that the U.S. military would be "waiting for" those seeking to enter the country illegally.

What did Gen. Dunford say?

Speaking at Duke University on Monday, Gen. Dunford said, "There is no plan for U.S. military forces to be involved in the actual mission of denying people entry to the United States. There is no plan for soldiers to come in contact with immigrants or to reinforce Department of Homeland Security as they're conducting their mission.

"We are providing enabling capabilities," he continued.

According to CNN, Dunford said the troops would be providing logistical support to the DHS, explaining, "so you'll see some soldiers down there right now that are putting up concertina wire and reinforcing the points of entry."

Also, the military is providing "both trucks and helicopter support and then also some medical support," Durham said.

The Hill reported on Monday that President Trump could order as many as 15,000 troops to the U.S.-Mexico border, which a study from The Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments estimates could costs as much as $110 million.
Anything else?

On Friday, former President Barack Obama criticized Trump for sending troops to the border, calling the action "a political stunt." But Obama himself deployed 1,200 National Guard troops to secure the border with Mexico in 2010.

Former President George W. Bush ordered 6,000 National Guard troops to the border during his tenure as part of Operation Jump Start in 2006 and 2008.

'2010 Called, It Wants Its Talking Points Back:' Reporter Stuns Room In Confrontation With America's Highest Ranking General

Military Times reporter Geoff Ziezulewicz pushed back against the U.S. military's top general during a conference on Friday. When Gen. Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the military was making progress in Afghanistan, Ziezulewicz criticized him for reciting old talking points. The exchange comes amid frustration on the part of the Pentagon press corps over what it says is a lack of transparency about U.S. wars and military operations worldwide.

A veteran reporter lobbed a bit of journalistic skepticism at America's highest-ranking general on Friday, pushing back when he offered a rosy assessment of the Afghanistan war effort. The exchange came during Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford's appearance at the annual Military Reporters and Editors conference in Arlington, Virginia. In a Q & A session, Dunford said "security has not significantly deteriorated" in Afghanistan and the U.S.-led military coalition there is making "incremental progress over time." Those well-worn buzz phrases didn't sit well with Military Times reporter Geoff Ziezulewicz, who interjected, "2010 called, and it wants its talking points back." Ziezulewicz's response - an unusual bit of sarcasm from the defense press - was noted by many of the Pentagon reporters in the room.

Although Ziezulewicz himself did not comment on his exchange with Dunford, his frank retort likely stems from frustration among the Pentagon press corps about what it sees as a lack of transparency on Afghanistan and the military's activity in general. Among defense reporters, there is a sense that top Pentagon officials, including Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, are closing off access to information that used to be provided as a matter of routine. Since Mattis took over at the Pentagon, the military has stopped providing troop levels for Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria, something it had done regularly in the past. The Pentagon also no longer publishes casualty and force strength data for Afghan security forces, key metrics in evaluating how the war effort is progressing. Dunford says the information is being withheld at the behest of the U.S.-backed government in Kabul, but defense reporters suspect the Pentagon is using that excuse to obscure how the war is going. They have also complained about a lack of access to Mattis and other top Pentagon brass, who interact with the press far less frequently than in previous administrations.

Despite concerns about secrecy, reporters credited Dunford for his candor at the MRE conference, where he answered a wide range of questions about the military's activities around the world. "There is often frustrations of late between the Pentagon press corps and senior brass over a lack of access. They're real," Washington Post defense correspondent Dan Lamothe wrote on Twitter. "But I'll say this: Gen. Dunford is taking pointed questions today at #MRE2018 and answering both directly and passionately. Hope others take notice."

The military journalism conference occurs as the U.S. is directly fighting or supporting at least six wars on three continents, plus dozens of counterterrorism missions at any given time. Under Trump, the war in Afghanistan has stretched into its 18th year with no discernible end in sight, while Washington is preparing for a long-term military intervention in Syria. In Yemen, the U.S. is supporting a Saudi Arabia-led coalition in its campaign to oust Houthi rebels from power. Washington's involvement, which includes aerial refueling, surveillance and targeting assistance, is increasingly being questioned amid weekly reports of atrocities committed by coalition forces against Yemeni civilians.

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Cooperation between Ankara and Washington was discussed in a telephone call between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and US counterpart Donald Trump.

"President Erdogan and President Trump reaffirmed their determination for the normalization and development of the Turkey-US cooperation in every area, and discussed the cooperation in the fight against terror, including FETO," stated a readout of the call from Erdogan's office on Monday.

FETO is a term Turkey uses to describe followers of cleric Fethullah Gulen, a Turkish national living in the United States. Ankara blames Gulenists for the failed 2016 military coup.

The two strategic NATO allies have experienced strained diplomatic relations. Trump is yet to appoint an ambassador to Turkey. Both countries have imposed sanctions and tariffs amid a trade dispute as the lira has plummeted in value. And Ankara would like to see Washington stop supporting the mostly Kurdish Peoples' Protection Units in the fight against ISIS in Syria.

"The two leaders discussed the bilateral relations and exchanged views regarding the fight against terror, the Jamal Khashoggi case and the latest developments in Syria," added the statement.

Turkey has vowed to reveal the "naked truth" over the death of the Saudi journalist who disappeared after walking into the Istanbul consulate on October 2.

"The two leaders agreed on the need to clear up the Jamal Khashoggi incident with all aspects," added Erdogan.

The US-led anti-ISIS coalition and Turkish forces have agreed to conduct joint patrols around Manbij in Syria.

"The importance of the immediate implementation of the roadmap concerning Manbij was stressed and the importance of the Idlib agreement was highlighted during the phone call," added Erdogan.

The United States has said implementation of the joint patrols is moving at "a reasonable pace."

"We believe that we have now met the direction from President Erdogan and President Trump from the security perspective around Manbij. And we'll be ready soon to transition into the vetting of individuals and the - and the political piece of Manbij," US Gen. Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters during a media roundtable on October 18.

Erdogan and Trump also discussed the return of pastor Andrew Brunson to the United States after being detained on charges of supporting the Kurdistan Workers' Party and coup supporters.

The White House did not immediately release a statement on the telephone call.

Add Greece to the list of countries pressing for more US troops

STUTTGART, Germany - Greece has invited the U.S. to set up new bases in the country, offering up coastal northeastern cities that would place American forces at the gateway to the Black Sea and in close proximity to the Balkans.

Defense Minister Panos Kammenos, during a news briefing Wednesday with Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, said Athens wants the U.S. to establish a larger, more permanent presence in Greece.

While a base at Souda Bay on the island of Crete has long been a key location for the U.S. Navy, the Pentagon is welcome to build up in other Greek locales, Kammenos said.

"It is very important for Greece that the United States deploy military assets in Greece on a more permanent basis, not only in Souda Bay but also in Larissa, in Volos, in Alexandroupoli," he said.

Greece is pressing for more troops at a time when regional rival Turkey has become more unpredictable and Russia more active in Greece's neighborhood. In September, Greek officials made similar overtures during a visit by Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford.

US military's top enlisted leader is suspended amid investigation

September 28, 2018
The U.S. military's senior ranking enlisted servicemember has been suspended from his duties pending an inspector general's investigation into a complaint of alleged misconduct, the Pentagon announced Thursday.

Army Command Sgt. Maj. John Troxell has been temporarily removed from his position as the senior enlisted adviser to Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Air Force Col. Patrick Ryder, a spokesman for the Joint Staff.

What led to the misconduct complaint against Troxell was not immediately clear Thursday. Ryder said it would be "inappropriate to comment on the nature" of the allegations while the investigation was open. An Army official said he could not immediately comment on the Army Inspector General's investigation Thursday afternoon.

"We will wait for a full accounting of the facts and will not presuppose any findings or outcomes," Ryder said.

Troxell, 54, has served as the senior enlisted adviser to Dunford since December of 2015. In that role, Troxell serves as the principal military adviser to Dunford and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis on issues pertaining to the enlisted force, such as military standards, professional development, pay and promotion, quality of life and awards.

Troxell made headlines in January after delivering fiery speeches to troops downrange during a holiday tour alongside Dunford in which he vowed Islamic State fighters who did not surrender would be killed, perhaps shot in the face or beaten with shovels, known as entrenching tools.

"If they choose not to surrender, then we will kill them with extreme prejudice, whether that be through security force assistance, by dropping bombs on them, shooting them in the face, or beating them to death with our entrenching tools," Troxell wrote Jan. 9 in a Facebook post. "Regardless, they cannot win, so they need to choose how it's going to be."

The speeches and posts on social media went viral as servicemembers cheered Troxell's enthusiasm.

Before reporting to the Pentagon to advise Dunford, Troxell most recently served as the command senior enlisted leader of the United Nations Command, Combined Forces Command and United States Forces-Korea in South Korea.

He enlisted in the Army in 1982 as an armored reconnaissance specialist and served in several senior noncommissioned officer roles, including as the senior enlisted adviser for I Corps at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington and the senior NCO for the U.S.-led International Security Assistance Force-Joint Command in Afghanistan.

He's a veteran of five combat deployments including Operation Just Cause in Panama, Operation Desert Shield-Storm and three post-9/11 tours - two in Iraq and one in Afghanistan.

The Joint Chiefs Office had not determined as of Thursday afternoon whether an acting senior enlisted adviser to Dunford would be selected during Troxell's absence, said Navy Lt. Cmdr. Hayley Sims, a spokeswoman for the Joint Staff.

Troxell will perform duties as a special assistant to the vice director of the Joint Staff while the Army conducts its investigation, Ryder said.

US Starts Training Terrorists in Al-Tanf Base in Southern Syria

The US Army troops, including a hundred marines that have just arrived in the region, have started training terrorists in the US-run al-Tanf base in Southern Homs, an Arab media outlet reported on Tuesday.

The Arabic-language Qatar 21 news website quoted commander of Maqawir al-Thowrah terrorist group, affiliated to the Free Syrian Army (FSA), as disclosing that the US marines have launched training his forces in al-Tanf base at border with Iraq.

The website further said that a large volume of the US's military equipment has also arrived in al-Tanf.

News sources had announced last week that over a hundred US marines were dispatched to Syria to implement a drill using real ammo.

On Sunday, over 100 US Marines were sent as reinforcements to the military base in al-Tanf in Syria after Russia allegedly revealed intentions of launching precision strikes on an area under the US-led coalition's control.

While the official statement by the Pentagon did not mention that the reinforcements had been sent as a precautionary measure to the alleged threats, chief Central Command spokesman, Captain William Urban, said that the troops flown to the area would conduct multiday drills using live ammunition, Task & Purpose reported.

"Our forces will demonstrate the capability to deploy rapidly, assault a target with integrated air and ground forces and conduct rapid exfiltration," Task & Purpose cited him as saying.

According to the report, US officials tackling the Syria issue have recently claimed that "the administration is now resolved to stay in Syria longer than President Donald Trump previously indicated", purportedly referring to POTUS's March speech, when he suggested that the United States would leave the war-torn country "very soon".

The news came on the heels of a CNN report about Moscow' s alleged warnings of an impending attack on militants in the area protected by US troops.

The media outlet's report also claimed that US Defense Secretary James Mattis and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Joseph Dunford were aware of the latest intelligence, adding that US troops in Syria "have the right of self-defense if they are attacked and would not need to ask permission from higher levels of the government before acting".

"The United States does not seek to fight the Russians, the government of Syria or any groups that may be providing support to Syria in the Syrian civil war. However, the United States will not hesitate to use necessary and proportionate force to defend US, coalition or partner forces," CNN quoted an anonymous insider.

The Russian Ministry of Defense hasn't commented on the claims so far.

Slightly over a week ago, Syrian government forces captured two militants near Palmyra, claiming that they were members of the Lions of the East group, the Russian Defense Ministry announced. They also confessed that they had been trained and armed by American instructors in a camp near the al-Tanf military base.

Following the statement, Sputnik reached out to a spokesperson for Operation Inherent Resolve who dismissed the aforementioned allegations as "malign propaganda", adding that "there is no terrorist camp within the al-Tanf de-confliction zone, which runs in a 55k diameter around the Coalition's al-Tanf Garrison".

The US-led coalition has been carrying out airstrikes against what it referred to as Daesh targets in Syria without either a UN mandate or Damascus' authorization. Currently, some 2,000 US troops are said to be deployed in the war-ravaged country. The Syrian government considers their presence illegal. Syrian authorities, meanwhile, officially asked Russia to assist the country's forces in fighting terrorist groups operating on the territory of the Mideast country.

At Least 52 Afghan Personnel Killed In New Series Of Taliban Attacks

Taliban members launched separate attacks on Afghan security forces in Afghanistan's north, killing at least 52, according to provincial officials, cited by AP.

The fighting started late night September 9th and continued until the morning of September 10th. AP cited Mohammad Yusouf Ayubi, head of the provincial council in Kunduz province, who said that at least 13 security forces were killed, and 15 others wounded in an attack on a checkpoint they were manning in Dashti Archi district.

In the Jawzjani province, Provincial Police Chief Gen. Faqir Mohammad Jawzjani said the Taliban attacked Khamyab district from different sides, forcing Afghan forces to withdraw from the district headquarters to avoid civilian causalities. "There was intense fighting and we didn't want civilian houses destroyed, or any civilian casualties," said Jawzjani. He claimed that at least 8 policemen were killed, and three others were wounded. He also added that seven Taliban were killed and eight were wounded in the fighting.

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid announced that the group claims responsibility for the attacks in Kunduz and Jawzjan provinces.

The Taliban also killed another 14 local Afghan policemen and pro-government militia, they also wounded 6 in the Dara Suf district of Samangan province, provincial spokesman Sediq Azizi said. Three Taliban were killed and four were wounded, according to him. Nobody claimed responsibility for the attack, nevertheless Azizi accused Taliban members that are active in the province and often target Afghan forces.

Across the Sari Pul province, Taliban fighters killed at least 17 Afghan security forces and wounded 3 in attacks, according to the provincial governor, Zahir Wahdat. He claimed that 39 Taliban fighters were killed, and 14 others were wounded in the battles, adding that the death toll could rise. Gen. Abdul Qayum Baqizai, the provincial police chief, said at least two security forces were killed in the battles. "The Taliban's attack has been repelled, but sporadic gun battles are underway at the outskirts of the city," Baqizai added. There has been no comment about fighting in the Sari Pul province from the Taliban side.

On September 9th, Taliban fighters killed 40 members of the Afghan security forces at a military base in the northern province of Baghlan and another 19 police officers and soldiers in Wardak and Herat Provinces.

On the same day, seven people were killed in Kabul as a suicide bomber attacked a commemoration marking the 17th anniversary of the killing of Ahmad Shah Masoud, who led the resistance against the Taliban in the late 1990s, he was killed by a suicide bomber two days prior to the September 11th attacks in the US.

This all came after on September 7th, the US command in Afghanistan announced on September 7 that Defense Secretary James Mattis had arrived in Kabul. The New American cited AP which reported that Mattis was accompanied by General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. Afghan presidential spokesman Mohammad Haroon told the AP that Mattis was expected to meet President Ashraf Ghani, as well as Afghan, U.S., and NATO military commanders.

The AP report cited by the New American also noted that the US government appeared to be increasing efforts to negotiate an end to the war in Afghanistan.

Prior to that, National Public Radio reported that on September 4th, Zalmay Khalilzad, who served as U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan and Iraq and as U.N. ambassador during the administration of President George W. Bush, was named President Trump's special adviser to Afghanistan. "Ambassador Khalilzad is going to join the State Department team to assist us in the reconciliation effort, so he will come on and be the State Department's lead person for that purpose," Pompeo told reporters. Khalilzad will "be full-time focused on developing the opportunities to get the Afghans and the Taliban to come to a reconciliation."

The New American reported that Khalilzad "Khalilzad is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), an organization that has dominated U.S. foreign policy since the end of World War II, pushing for constant military intervention in other nations and entangling U.S. troops in a never-ending series of no-win wars," such as the 17-year-long war and still continuing war in Afghanistan.

Pentagon cancels $300m aid to Pakistan ahead of Mike Pompeo visit

America has cancelled £230m ($300m) of aid to Pakistan just days before a visit by Washington's top diplomat, amid US frustration Islamabad is still doing too little to rein in Afghan militants.

The Pentagon said it would spend the military aid elsewhere because of a lack of Pakistani action backing US troops in Afghanistan.

America has long accused Pakistan, and particularly its military spy agency, of providing a safe haven and support to Taliban militants fighting in Afghanistan.

The announcement to cancel the aid, which was already suspended, came only days before Mike Pompeo is due to arrive in Pakistan requesting help to bolster Ashraf Ghani's beleaguered Kabul government.

A year into Donald Trump's revamped South Asia strategy to end the Afghan conflict, US officials say Islamabad has not done enough to clamp down on the Taliban or its Haqqani network faction.
The Taliban continue to control or threaten swathes of the country and recently launched one of their most ambitious attacks, overrunning parts of the city of Ghazni.

The money was withheld "due to a lack of Pakistani decisive actions in support of the South Asia Strategy" Pentagon spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Kone Faulkner said.

America had already announced it was freezing military aid after Mr Trump earlier this year blasted Islamabad for "lies and deceit". Aid would resume if Pakistan was more cooperative, officials suggested.

Mr Pompeo will be accompanied by America's top military officer, Gen Joseph Dunford, for talks with Imran Khan that will be dominated by how to combat militants.
Any peaceful solution to America's 17-year-long Afghan conflict relies on Pakistan's help, and the White House believes a crackdown by Islamabad could be pivotal in securing a peace settlement. Islamabad meanwhile is likely to need US backing for an International Monetary Fund bailout to ease its dire economic woes. US aid has also until now helped fund a military that consumes a fifth of Pakistan's government budget.

Faraza Shaikh, a Pakistan expert at Chatham House, said: "[The visit] is important for both sides. As far as Pakistan is concerned, it is very closely tied to Pakistan's dire economic crisis. If the country is in the end forced to go to the IMF, I think it's going to need the United States and the Trump administration on side."

Mr Khan has often railed against US policy in the region and earned the moniker Taliban Khan among political opponents for his supposed soft stance on militancy. Since taking office as prime minister he has said he wants more equal relations with Washington.

" It's going to be very treacherous waters now to navigate," said Dr Shaikh, "but Pakistan does find itself in a very precarious economic situation".

Pakistan denies doing too little, saying tens of thousands of its troops and civilians have been killed or maimed as it has tried to wrestle with internal militancy. The country says it is being used as a scapegoat for the failures of western policy inside Afghanistan.

Moeed Yusuf, of the US Institute of Peace think tank, said there was little point of a visit if Islamabad and Washington only fell back to their entrenched positions.

He suggested that only by focusing on how to build on the US direct talks with the Taliban would progress be made.

The U.S. military says it has decided to cancel $300 million in aid to Pakistan that had been suspended due to Islamabad's perceived lack of action against militants, raising tensions ahead of a visit by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the top U.S. general.

President Donald Trump suspended the so-called Coalition Support Funds, along with other aid to Pakistan, at the start of the year.

The Trump administration accuses Islamabad of harboring insurgents who are waging a 17-year-old war in neighboring Afghanistan, a charge Pakistan denies.

"Due to a lack of Pakistani decisive actions in support of the South Asia Strategy the remaining $300 (million) was reprogrammed," Pentagon spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Kone Faulkner said on September 1.

Faulkner said the Pentagon aimed to spend the $300 million on "other urgent priorities" if approved by Congress.

He said another $500 million in CSF was stripped by Congress from Pakistan earlier this year, to bring the total withheld to $800 million.

The Pentagon's remarks come ahead of a planned visit on September 5 to Islamabad by Pompeo, who will be accompanied by the top U.S. military officer, General Joseph Dunford.

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis told reporters on August 28 that the fight against militants would be a "primary part of the discussion" when the U.S. officials meet with new Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Kahn and others.

State Department Says US Will Respond to Chemical Weapons Use in Idlib, Syria

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The United States and its international partners will respond swiftly to any verified chemical weapons use in Syria and urges Russia to make the point clear to the Syrian government, Department of State spokesperson Heather Nauert said in a press briefing on Tuesday.

National Security Adviser John "Bolton has spoken to his Russian counterparts, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Chairman [Joseph] Dunford, has as well spoken to his Russian counterparts to make it very clear that the United States government and its partners will respond to any verified chemical weapons use in Idlib or elsewhere in Syria for that matter in a swift and appropriate manner," Nauert said. "So we would encourage Russia to make this point very clear to Damascus that that will not be tolerated."

She added that the United States would hold also Russia or the Syrian government accountable for any offensive on Idlib or any kind of escalation in that area, especially if such efforts involve the use of chemical weapons.

Russia's Defense Ministry has warned that the leader of the Tahrir al-Sham terrorist group, which is affiliated with the Al-Qaeda-linked Jabhat Nusra terror organization (banned in Russia), is planning a chemical attack against civilians in the Syrian province of Idlib in order to provoke western nations into retaliating against Damascus.

Russian Ambassador to the United Nations Vassily Nebenzia told reporters on Tuesday that the warning about potential chemical attacks in Syria is based on concrete facts.

Citing reports, Nebenzia said that a number of containers with chlorine were delivered to different cities in the Syrian province of Idlib. He also said unmarked weapons were reportedly transferred to unmarked vehicles.

Russia Slams Leak Of Secret Memo On US-Moscow Cooperation in Syria

Profile picture for user Tyler Durden
by Tyler Durden
Sat, 08/04/2018 - 15:15

There's been a number of hugely significant developments in Syria at the end of this week - all of which point to the war's end, with President Bashar al-Assad and the Syrian Army ultimately emerging firmly victorious. Even Israel seems to have changed its tune, with Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman telling reporters on Thursday, "From our perspective, the situation is returning to how it was before the civil war, meaning there is a real address, someone responsible, and central rule."

But now there's a diplomatic scramble underway and exchange of accusations related to potential Russia-United States cooperation on rebuilding Syria, repatriating refugees, and rooting out the remaining jihadist pockets.

On Friday Reuters published a bombshell report based on a leaked US government memo revealing a secret deal possibly in the works between top Russian and American generals initiated by the Russian side last month during the very week that President Donald Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki .

Russia has since slammed the leak, but has confirmed it confidentially extended the hand of cooperation on Syria.

According to the Reuters report, Russia has used a closely guarded communications channel with America's top general "to propose the two former Cold War foes cooperate to rebuild Syria and repatriate refugees to the war-torn country, according to a U.S. government memo."

The proposal was sent in a July 19 letter by Valery Gerasimov, the chief of the Russian military's General Staff, to U.S. Marine General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, according to the memo which was seen by Reuters.

The Russian plan, which has not been previously reported, has received an icy reception in Washington. The memo said the U.S. policy was only to support such efforts if there were a political solution to end Syria's seven-year-old civil war, including steps like U.N.-supervised elections.

The US intelligence memo, while itself not published in full, is a summary and assessment of the confidential Russian proposal, offered within the context of the mutually agreed upon "military-to-military" communications hotline, set up at some point after 2015 to ensure US and Russian jets avoid aerial collision or direct confrontation of forces. The timing of the Russian proposal is significant, as it came a mere three days after Trump met with Putin in Helsinki on July 16.

Before and after the meeting there were substantial rumors, especially coming from the Russian side, that the US and Russia were working towards direct cooperation in Syria.

Both sides have reportedly agreed to keep the contents of what's communicated via this official back-channel confidential, something which has largely been adhered to until now.

Reuters continues, quoting parts of the leaked memo:

"The United States will only support refugee returns when they are safe, voluntary and dignified," said the memo, which is specifically about the Russian plan for Syria.

…Some U.S. officials believe Syria's dependence on the international community for reconstruction, along with the presence of U.S. and U.S.-backed forces in part of Syria, gives Washington leverage as diplomats push for a negotiated end to the war.

The United Nations has put the cost of rebuilding Syria after the seven year long conflict at a minimum figure of $250 billion. Though Damascus and its Russian partners have determined the war's outcome militarily, it appears Moscow is ready to cooperate with the US on establishing permanent stability in the war-torn country.

However, anti-Assad hawks in the administration and in Washington policy circles have consistently pushed for a settlement to the war which would result in Assad's political exit, which suggests the possibility and likelihood that the memo leak is but the latest ploy of administration insiders to prevent any level of cooperation with Russia and the Syrian government.

The memo reads further, according to Reuters:

"The proposal argues that the Syrian regime lacks the equipment, fuel, other material, and funding needed to rebuild the country in order to accept refugee returns," according to the memo, which specified that the proposal related to Syrian government-held areas of the country.

The United States in 2011 adopted a policy that Assad must leave power but then watched as his forces, backed by Iran and then Russia, clawed back territory and secure Assad's position.

The United States has drawn a line on reconstruction assistance, saying it should

Russia Slams Leak Of Secret Memo On US-Moscow Cooperation in Syria

Russia has since slammed the leak, but has confirmed it confidentially extended the hand of cooperation on Syria.

Reuters notes that General Joseph Dunford, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has sought to keep the communications back-channel private: "Dunford, who speaks periodically with [the Russian Chief of General Staff] Gerasimov, has stressed that the two militaries need to be able to have candid, private communications to avoid misunderstandings that could lead to armed confrontation," according to the report.

Meanwhile on Saturday Russian officials slammed the leak, saying through the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) that "the inability of the US side to comply with the agreement on publicizing the contacts [between the two militaries] only with the consent of both sides is disappointing." And further, "We expect that the US side will be able to take the necessary measures to prevent further violations of mutual agreements in the future.

CNN emphasis on military members' willingness to die. Contrary to Patton's opinion on the purpose of the military…to make the other dumb bastard die for his country.

>Continuing to attack both of those fundamental American pillars is clearly something that President Donald Trump feels resonates with his political base, even after 19 months in office. But as the Commander in Chief continues uninterrupted in his attacks, there is a problem boiling to the surface. Defense Secretary James Mattis and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Joseph Dunford – two of the top commanders – are walking an increasingly fraught line, ordering troops to fight and die under a Commander in Chief who does not publicly share the values the troops are obligated to defend."

CNN doesn't understand irony.

NATO Needs a Strategy for Countering Russia in the Arctic and the Black Sea

1 day agoby Mathieu Boulègue109 Views

Written by Mathieu Boulègue
It is important that, during the forthcoming Brussels summit, the alliance recognizes the threat Russia poses in these neglected areas.

The NATO summit in Brussels on 11-12 July is likely to be highly political. The Atlantic alliance is increasingly polarised due to disagreements over burden-sharing arrangements, national contributions and transatlantic solidarity. But NATO members cannot let these disagreements get in the way of addressing the 'Russian challenge' - the increasing tensions with Moscow as the Kremlin explores the boundaries of escalation with the alliance and tried to destabilize it.

Prospects for improving relations with Moscow are minimal, especially in light of recent developments. The latest meeting of the NATO-Russia Council on 31 May (the first since October 2017) and the meeting between the chief of staff of the Russian armed forces, Valery Gerasimov, and the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Joseph Dunford, on 8 June achieved very little. Although a welcomed addition to the NATO architecture in Europe, the recent approval of the 'Four Thirties' plan, aimed at strengthening NATO troops and increasing combat-readiness, will further antagonize the Kremlin.

Since 2014, the alliance has adapted to focus on Russia's actions in eastern Europe, notably in the Baltic region and in Poland. The agreements made during the NATO Warsaw summit of 2016, notably the '3Ds' of 'defence, deterrence, dialogue', are sound and should be reinforced.

But strengthening NATO's eastern flank is not enough. Little has been done to work out a coherent vision for how to protect NATO interests in the Arctic or in the Black Sea. This is worrying since Russia is emboldened in both regions, as seen through brinksmanship such as provocative air manoeuvring, an assertive force posture and constant military drilling.

In the Arctic and its broader neighbourhood, known as the High North, Russia is projecting military power and anticipates competition with Arctic countries as well as China. The Kremlin defined its Arctic strategy back in 2008 and named the High North a region of strategic importance in its 2017 naval doctrine.

Obama started his talk at the White House Correspondent's Dinner by saying, "It is my honor to be at my last, and perhaps the last, White House Correspondent's Dinner... hahaha", and he next says, "The END of the Republic never looked better! I am just counting the days before my death panel! I have only 2 words to close with... Obama... Out!" He quickly raises two fingers to his lips (Masonic secret degree sign-his obligation that enjoins secrecy) and with his other hand picks up the portable mic, raises it over his head, and then intentionally drops the mic out of his hand to the ground.

Rebirth of Manchuria plotted as Europe faces summer of discontent
By Benjamin Fulford Weekly Reports

Once again the world faces a long hot summer of discontent, with the major action likely to be in Europe and East Asia this year. The EU is likely to experience regime change due to popular anger as warm weather brings in yet another massive wave of mostly male Muslim immigrants. In the Far East, the summit meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean strongman Kim Jong-un has led to serious plotting to revive a Manchurian empire straddling from Mongolia to Northern China to Korea to Japan, according to multiple independent sources, including CIA and Japanese military intelligence.

Let's start with the situation in Europe, where governments in Austria, Italy, Sweden, and elsewhere are waking up to the fact that the so-called refugee crisis is actually a Muslim invasion. This is no exaggeration, since over 60% of the roughly five million refugees who have arrived in Europe since 2013 are men. Put another way, an army of three million military-age Muslim men has invaded Europe by stealth means. These statistics come from Eurostat via Wikipedia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_migrant_crisis

This is not just a random occurrence, either. The "refugees" are being handed false papers; for example, Afghan and Pakistani men are being given travel expenses and allowances, as well as fake Syrian passports by the P2 Freemason self-appointed social engineers who are behind this crisis. As we have mentioned before, we were told when we visited the P2 in Italy a few years ago that their plan was to force Islam and Christianity to fight each other in order to merge the two into a single one-world religion controlled by them.

This is the background to a series of news events that popped up last week as the warm weather began in earnest. First of all, we have the new Italian government getting into a war of words with France after deciding to stop admitting boats filled with refugees.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/italy-france-tensions-spiral-over-rejected-migrant-ship-133857517.html

Then we have the government of Austria kicking out imams and mobilizing its border police as a wave of 80,000 migrants approaches its border.
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-06-14/situation-critical-austria-conducts-border-defense-drills-expected-wave-80000

Also, as we mentioned last week, Sweden has mobilized its Home Guard for the first time in 40 years to deal with the lawless government no-go zones created inside Sweden by these mostly Muslim men.
https://www.rt.com/news/428953-sweden-home-guard-drills/

The crisis is likely to overthrow the two regimes-those of France and Germany-that are still going along with plans to increase the inflow of refugees. Members of pro-"refugee" German Chancellor Angela Merkel's government are now saying she will be replaced "within a week" because of her refugee stance.
https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/975166/Angela-Merkel-Germany-Bundestag-EU-migration-crisis-Kai-Whittaker

The situation is expected to come to a head at the NATO Summit meeting scheduled for July 11 and 12, 2018.

Russian President Vladimir Putin will be meeting U.S. President Donald Trump around that time, according to Russian government sources. This is definitely connected to the meeting in Finland on June 10th between top U.S. General Joseph Dunford, and Russia's Chief of the military's General Staff, Gen. Valery Gerasimov, where they discussed "European security issues," "Syria [Israel]," and other matters.

Q Research General #2157: Only The Most Courageous Can Make Peace

Pentagon begins planning which South Korea exercises should be 'sped up, scaled back or suspended'

The U.S. military is making plans to restructure, scale down, and reschedule military training with South Korea, while ensuring troops remain at a high state of readiness, Pentagon officials said Tuesday.

"We will maintain the fighting readiness of our forces," said one official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the policy is still being refined.

But several sources said training would continue without the high-profile "in-your-face" named exercises that are regularly announced and given aggressive code names such as Max Thunder and Key Resolve.

A statement is expected soon from the Pentagon in the wake of President Trump's surprise announcement in Singapore that the U.S. is stopping joint "war games" with the South, "unless and until we see the future negotiation is not going along like it should."

The Pentagon confirmed that the next major military exercise - Ulchi Freedom Guardian - is scheduled for the fall. A spokesman said no new guidance has gone out to commanders in the field because there are still many questions on how the president's commitment will be implemented.

Last year's exercise was held in August, lasted 10 days and involved 17,500 U.S. troops. Service members from South Korea joined forces with the U.S. and seven other countries. Ulchi Freedom Guardian is a "computer simulated defense exercise," the Pentagon says.

Both Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford were well aware of Trump's plan to suspend large-scale military exercises, according to Pentagon officials who spoke privately.

"Mattis spoke about what was not on the table, not what was on the table," one official said, referring to a Monday meeting with reporters in which he said there was no discussion of withdrawing any U.S. troops stationed in South Korea.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo hinted at the move when he told reporters at a pre-summit briefing in Singapore, "We're prepared to take what will be security assurances that are different, unique than [what] America's been willing to provide previously."

But because the option was under wraps, and contingent on a positive meeting between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, planning is just now underway to decide which exercises should be "sped up, scaled back or suspended," according a military official familiar with the planning

Pentagon officials say they are also waiting to get a briefing from Randall Schriver, assistant secretary of defense for Asian and Pacific security affairs, who is the Defense Department's liaison with the State Department team leading the diplomatic effort.

In making the announcement to end what he called "war games," Trump cited both the cost and provocative nature of the exercises.

Q Research General #2136: Stormy Forecæst

The Kim/Trump summit, the Rothschilds and the financial war are all linked

The summit meeting this week between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean strongman Kim Jong-un was preceded by a tidal wave of high-level public and secret diplomacy, because this is no ordinary meeting, multiple sources agree. The summit will not only discuss peace in the Korean Peninsula, but also the future of the financial system and thus the future of the world, according to North Korean, Pentagon, Illuminati, and other sources.

The public meetings this past weekend were the G7 (now G6 following the U.S. de facto withdrawal) summit meeting of Western leaders and a summit meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (a.k.a. the Eurasian Alliance). The secret meetings were the Bilderberg meeting in Italy, and meetings between Asian royals and representatives of the White Dragon Society (WDS) held in Japan, according to Asian secret society sources.

The Bilderberg meeting was presided over by high-level financial fraudster Henry Kissinger and included, apparently for the first time, a representative of the Vatican, Cardinal Pietro Parolin. The top of the agenda was "populism in Europe" which means peasants with pitchforks rising against this satanic elite in the UK, in Italy, in Hungary and pretty much everywhere else in Europe. As things are going, it will not be long before these child-killing mass murderers are dragged out of their houses and hung from the nearest lamppost, as famously predicted by George Bush Sr.

In fact, last week "the Bush cabal was decimated as its top loyalist and Carlyle founder Frank Carlucci met his maker," Pentagon sources say. They also note that the "Department of Justice Inspector General report comes out on June 14 as the number of sealed indictments exceeds 35,000 and the DOJ has added 300 prosecutors." Furthermore, "the Senate's August recess was cancelled so Trump's federal judges and other nominees can be confirmed," they note.

A message was sent to the Bilderberg-founding Dutch royal family on June 7th, the day the meeting started when the sister of Queen Maxima, Ines Zorreguieta, was "found hanged in Argentina in a message to pedo royals," Pentagon sources say. This happened as 160 children were liberated from an Atlanta child trafficking operation, they noted.

Also, in England riots broke out over the imprisonment of Tommy Robinson on charges of reporting about a mass pedophile trial. However, it was Sweden where the real action could be seen. Here the government "mobilized its home guard and reserves to purge Muslim rapefugees," Pentagon sources say. Top U.S. General Joseph Dunford flew to Finland last week to meet his Russian and Finnish counterparts "to help the Swedes in their Trump moment," the sources say. Austria also kicked out a group of Salafist pseudo-Muslim radical preachers last week, prompting Turkish President Recep Erdogan to warn this would lead the world to "a war between the cross and the crescent."

Of course, the Rothschild public servants gathering at the G6 meeting in Canada last week did not mention any of this in their communiqué and instead rambled on about things like "gender" (something Mother Nature already figured out at the dawn of time).

The G6 also made it clear they want to keep their control of the world financial system via the fraudulent "CO2 causes global warming" scam by stating that "Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the European Union reaffirm their strong commitment to implement the Paris Agreement." Pope Francis also made it clear last week who his real boss was (hint: not God) by supporting this unscientific fraud whose real aim is to perpetuate financial control by Khazarian (Rothschild, etc.) bloodlines.

Trump made his true feelings about the G6 and the EU known in a meeting with Rothschild slave President Emmanual Macron: Macron told him "Let's work together, we both have a China problem," and Trump responded, "the EU is worse than China."

This leads to the inside story of the summit meeting between Trump and Kim in Singapore this week, where the real topic of discussion will be deposing the Khazarian controllers of the G6 financial system, several sources concur.

The part of the Kim/Trump summit that involves the financial system concerns the rights to ownership of Manchu (Qing) dynasty gold, according to Manchu heir Zang Seungshick (???) and one other Manchu royal who prefers to remain anonymous.

What if chemicals had been at targeted locations?

In the same Pentagon briefing, General Joseph Dunford specified the US and allies' targets in Syria, alleging they were "specifically associated with the Syrian regime's chemical weapons program." One target, at which 76 missiles were fired, was the Barzeh scientific research centre in heavily-populated Damascus itself, which Dunford claimed was involved in the "development, production and testing of chemical and biological warfare technology."

This 'target' is in the middle of a densely-inhabited area of Damascus. According to Damascus resident Dr. (of business and economy) Mudar Barakat, who knows the area in question, "the establishment consists of a number of buildings. One of them is a teaching institute. They are very close to the homes of the people around."

Of the strikes, Dunford claimed they "inflicted maximum damage, without unnecessary risk to innocent civilians."

If one believed the claims to be accurate, would bombing them really save Syrian lives, or to the contrary cause mass deaths? Where is the logic in bombing facilities believed to contain hazardous, toxic chemicals in or near densely populated areas?

Regarding the actual nature of the buildings bombed, Syrian media, SANA, describes the Pharmaceutical and Chemical Industries Research Institute as "centered on preparing the chemical compositions for cancer drugs." The destruction of this institute is particularly bitter, as, under the criminal western sanctions, cancer medicines sales to Syria are prohibited.

Interviews with one of its employees, Said Said, corroborate SANA's description of the facility making cancer treatment and other medicinal components. One article includes Said's logical point: "If there were chemical weapons, we would not be able to stand here. I've been here since 5:30 am in full health - I'm not coughing."

Of the facility, the same SANA article noted that its labs had been visited by the OPCW, which issued two reports negating claims of any chemical weapons activities. This is a point Syria's Ambassador al-Ja'afari raised in the April 14 UN Security Council meeting, noting that the OPCW "handed to Syria an official document which confirmed that the Barzeh centre was not used for any type of chemical activity" that would be in contravention to Syria's obligations regarding the OPCW.

About : USMC activated & Panic mode

I think I'm understanding something important here :

1) Read http:// www.voltairenet.org/article200232.html

"The Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs published a Press release condemning a possible US military intervention, and announcing that if Russian citizens were harmed in Damascus, Moscow would riposte proportionally, since the Russian President is constitutionally responsible for the security of his fellow citizens.

Bypassing the official diplomatic channels, Russian Chief of Staff General Valeri Guerassimov contacted his US counterpart General Joseph Dunford to inform him of his fear of a false flag chemical attack in Ghouta. Dunford took this information vey seriously, and alerted US Defense Secretary General Jim Mattis, who referred the matter to President Donald Trump. In view of the Russian insistence that this piece of foul play was being prepared without the knowledge of the Pentagon, the White House asked the Director of the CIA, Mike Pompeo, to identify those responsible for the conspiracy.

We do not know the result of this internal enquiry, but President Trump acquired the conviction that his Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, was implicated. The Secretary of State was immediately asked to interrupt his official journey in Africa and return to Washington."

2) https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Dunford

"Joseph Francis Dunford Jr. (born December 8, 1955) is a United States Marine Corps General and the 19th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff"

Are they engaging the marines in Syria in order to counter the false flag attempt by the brits ? Why Panic mode ?

Take a look at how the French president, which was embrigaded by the brits into their schemes, reacted to Putin's reelection. They did not pushed fake news stories about ans illegitimate election. The only thing that filtered to the press was the phone call to congratulate him and ask for more damage control in Syria. They know the attempt just failed miserably.

it is highly possible that the good part of the Pentagon, which take the order from Mattis and other good guys, is now engaged… Against the brits in order to avoid such dangerous false flags ?

Richard Spencer becomes acting defense secretary while Mark Esper goes through Senate confirmation.
Navy Secretary Richard Spencer took the reins at the Pentagon on Monday, becoming the third acting defense secretary since January.

Spencer is expected to temporarily lead the Pentagon while the Senate considers Army Secretary Mark Esper's nomination to succeed James Mattis as defense secretary. The Senate officially received Esper's nomination on Monday.

"The senior team supporting the Office of the Secretary remains in place to ensure institutional continuity," Chief Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said in a statement on Monday. "Notably, this includes David Norquist, the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller)/Chief Financial Officer, who continues to perform the duties of the Deputy Secretary of Defense; the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Joseph Dunford; and Eric Chewning, the Chief of Staff for the Department of Defense.

"Additionally, Thomas Modly, Under Secretary of the Navy, is now performing the duties of the Secretary of the Navy. Ryan McCarthy is no longer performing the duties of the Secretary of the Army and is solely serving as Under Secretary of the Army."

Esper had been serving as acting defense secretary since June 24, but the Federal Vacancies Reform Act prevents him from continuing in an acting role once the Senate has received his nomination. For the time-being, he has reverted back to his old job as Army secretary.

On Monday, Spencer walked into the defense' secretary's E-Ring office on the Pentagon's third floor on Monday.

"Ladies and gentleman, how are we doing today?" Spencer asked reporters on the scene.

Before becoming Navy secretary on Aug. 3, 2017, Spencer served as an CH-46 helicopter pilot in the Marine Corps from 1976 until 1981, leaving the Corps as a captain, officials said.

During his tenure leading the Navy, Spencer denied claims from people claiming they were exposed to dangerous chemicals found in the drinking water at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, following a federal judge's December 2016 ruling that the Navy was not liable for damages.

Spencer has also staked his job on fixing the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford's electromagnetic weapons elevators. In January, Spencer told President Donald Trump that if all 11 of the Ford's elevators were not working by the end of the summer, Trump could fire him.

Only two of the Ford's weapons elevators are currently functional, said Navy spokesman Capt. Danny Hernandez. Work on the other nine elevators is expected to last beyond October, when the aircraft carrier leaves the shipyards.

Esper's confirmation hearing is scheduled for Tuesday. He replaced Patrick Shanahan as acting defense secretary after Shanahan withdrew from consideration as defense secretary amid media reports that he and his son had both been involved in violent altercations with his former wife.

Shanahan had served as acting defense secretary after Mattis resigned in December in protest of Trump's decision at the time to withdraw all U.S. troops from Syria. Trump subsequently reversed himself.

Here it is about Andy Grove:

Died: March 21, 2016

Mar 2016

In fact, in a clear sign the white hats are on the move, US top general Joseph Dunford last week summoned Google Chief Eric Schmidt to the Pentagon, according to US military intelligence sources. At this meeting Dunford told Schmidt that Silicon Valley was being put under Pentagon control. As if to underline this, Intel founder, Hungarian Jew and Silicon Valley elder statesman Andrew Grove died "of undisclosed causes," at around the time this meeting was taking place.

Grove was responsible for putting a back door in all Intel computer chips to allow full access to what is in everybody's computers, sources at Oracle say. Pentagon control of Silicon Valley will almost certainly drastically cut off the flow of information to the Khazarian mafia.

Any possible reading I can do on this to find out/ verify all of this myself?

Should I start with General Joseph Dunford? "New Republic Military"?

CBTS General #16: Serious Weaponized Autism at work

Who fired?
Barack Obama and Joe Biden
When?
WH was breached via underground tunnel by Pentagon Chief of Staff General Joseph Dunford and the New Republic Military on April 26 2015 and was on "lockdown" on April 26 and 27. On April 27th, "Papers of surrender and resignation have been issued"

Between April 26 and April 30th Dunford and his team were involved in negotiations for the surrender of the Cabal and USA Corp. Dunford and the resistance movement knew they could use the threat of exposing the Cabal on a global media live streaming event that was to air on April 30, 2016 for the White House Correspondents Dinner.

Listen to the opening notes of BO's speech at Whitehouse Correspondents Dinner on the second day they WH was on lockdown during the peaceful transition.

Your going to laugh at who the profoundly wise military leadership installed next, anons.
Just a few months ago I said to my nemesis on the left "Don't you get it? The Military is the LAST people on earth who want to send those boys off to war".

Thank-you, each and every one of you.

Reconciliation - BO has been more humble than HRC, one wonder's if he was hostage to the cabal, too. Perhaps he went to China to thank them.

Godspeed Patriots
