NYT Confirms Putin’s Accusations

#Zerohedge summarizes the genuinely shocking expose by The #NewYorkTimes concerning 12 #secret #US #military #basis inside #Ukraine near the Russian border that have been there since 2016:

On Sunday T_he New York Times_ published an explosive and very belated full #admission that US #intelligence has not only been instrumental in Ukraine wartime decision-making, but has established and financed high tech command-and-control spy centers, and was doing so long prior to the Feb. 24 Russian invasion of two years ago.

Among the biggest revelations is that the program was established a decade ago and spans three different American presidents. The Times says the #CIA program to modernize Ukraine’s intelligence services has “transformed” the former Soviet state and its capabilities into “Washington’s most important intelligence partners against the #Kremlin today.”

This has included the agency having secretly trained and equipped Ukrainian intelligence officers spanning back to just after the #2014 #Maidan #coup events, as well constructing a network of 12 secret bases along the Russian border—work which began eight years ago. These intelligence bases, from which Russian commanders’ communications can be swept up and Russian spy satellites monitored, are being used launch and track cross-border drone and missile attacks on Russian territory.

This means that with the disclosure of the longtime “closely guarded secret” the world just got a big step closer to #WW3, given it means the CIA is largely responsible for the effectiveness of the recent spate of attacks which have included direct drone hits on key oil refineries and energy infrastructure.

“Without them [the CIA and elite commandoes it’s trained], there would have been no way for us to resist the Russians, or to beat them,” according to Ivan Bakanov, former #head of the #SBU, which is Ukraine’s domestic intelligence agency.

A main source of the #NYT revelations—disclosures which might come as no surprise to those never willing to so easily swallow the mainstream ‘official’ narrative of events—is identified as a top intelligence commander named Gen. Serhii Dvoretskiy.

Clearly, #Kiev and #Washington now want #world to know of the deep intelligence relationship they tried to conceal for over the past decade. It is perhaps a kind of warning to #Moscow at a moment Ukraine’s forces are in retreat: the US is fighting hand in glove with the Ukrainians. And yet the revelations contained in the NY Times report also confirm what #President #Putin has precisely accused Washington of all along.

The Russians obviously know about these bases since they presumably have had control of them for most of the last two years. So, why is Washington suddenly admitting to them now? Are the neoclowns attempting to establish some basis for arguing that since the #USA has been actively waging #war on #Russia for a long time, more aid and even direct military support for Ukraine is justified?

At some point, the anti-Russian Narrative is going to collapse, as one lie after another is exposed, and it eventually turns out that the Russians were doing nothing but telling the truth about The Empire of Lies and its activities in Ukraine all along.

It also documents how the CIA not only kept #PresidentTrump in the dark with regards to its anti-Russian activities, but consistently undermined him and his policies.

Debunked: Misleading NYT Anti-Trans Article By Pamela Paul Relies On Pseudoscience

The opinion piece by Pamela Paul relies on routinely debunked disinformation and gets factual information wrong about transgender care. It is the latest NYT published piece to do so.

https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/debunked-misleading-nyt-anti-trans

Her first source, used to support "Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria," is an article by Lisa Littman that has been retracted. Littman is notably one of the only researchers to argue for the theory, which has been repeatedly dismissed for lacking factual support and for recruiting subjects from anti-trans websites.
A study in the prestigious journal Pediatrics entirely debunked the concept of ROGD, determining that most transgender people know their gender identity for years before they come out and seek treatment for gender dysphoria. When transgender people finally do come out, many are overjoyed to finally reveal their true self to the world around them - to others, however, the process may seem “rapid.” To ascertain whether transgender identification occurs "rapidly," researchers directly asked transgender teenagers: "How long have you known you were transgender?" They discovered that on average, transgender people know their gender identity for four years before first coming out and presenting for treatment.

The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press?

We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.

--- John Swinton, managing editor of the New York Times, when offered to toast to an independent press

When the #NewYorkTimes lost its way

America’s media should do more to equip readers to #think for themselves

source: https://www.economist.com/1843/2023/12/14/when-the-new-york-times-lost-its-way

Whether or not American democracy endures, a central question historians are sure to ask about this era is why America came to elect Donald Trump, promoting him from a symptom of the country’s institutional, political and social degradation to its agent-in-chief

...

It is hard to imagine a path back to saner American politics that does not traverse a common ground of shared fact

...

A #journalism that starts out assuming it knows the answers can be far less valuable to the reader than a journalism that starts out with a humbling #awareness that it knows nothing

...

Even columnists with impeccable leftist bona fides recoiled from tackling subjects when their point of view might depart from progressive orthodoxy

...

Illiberal journalists are not out to achieve social justice as the knock-on effect of pursuing truth; they want to pursue it head-on. The term “objectivity” to them is code for ignoring the poor and weak and cosying up to power

Reisetipp: Tainan in der New York Times

If you can travel to Taiwan, go visit Tainan, the former capital in Taiwan. The New York Times thinks you should. I wholeheartedly agree.

Immer mehr Taiwanesen wandern aus dem Norden der Insel zu, so dass man inzwischen von einer „Abwanderung in den Süden“ spricht. Darunter auch viele Kreative, was sich im Stadtbild durch Boutiquen, Bars und Restaurants zeigt. Die New York Times gibt mehrere Tipps, darunter die Restaurants Zyuu Tsubo und Jai Mi Ba sowie die Bar Swallow. Sehenswert seien auch das Tainan Art Museum sowie der Hayashi Department Store. Nicht zu vergessen bei der Lobpreisung Tainans sei aber auch die schöne Landschaft und das fast ganzjährige angenehme Klima.

Quel est le rôle de la France dans l'histoire de la dette haïtienne ? 

Le New York Times a publié plusieurs articles sur la dette haïtienne et la manière dont la France a exigé à son ancienne colonie de payer son indépendance. Le quotidien américain estimant par ailleurs que cette dette a eu un coût considérable sur le développement économique d'Haïti.

avec :
#FrédéricThomas (CETRI) (docteur en sciences politiques, chargé d’étude au #CETRI – Centre tricontinental basé à Louvain-la-Neuve en Belgique (centre de recherche sur les rapports Nord-Sud)).

Depuis la publication le 20 mai 2022, dans le New York Times, d’articles sur le coût de la #dette haïtienne et le rôle de la France dans cette histoire, une question se pose : sans cette dette, est-ce qu’Haïti serait devenu l’un des pays les plus pauvres au monde ? Le quotidien américain a estimé que cette dette avait coûté à #Haïti entre 20 et 108 milliards d’euros de pertes sur deux siècles, autrement dit depuis son indépendance en 1804.

Quel a été le rôle de la France ?

#GuillaumeErner reçoit Frédéric Thomas, docteur en #sciencespolitiques, auteur de « Haïti : l’échec humanitaire », ed. Couleur Livres, chargé d’études au Cetri, une ONG basée à Louvain-la-Neuve en Belgique et spécialisée sur les rapports Nord-Sud.

La France face à l’indépendance d’Haïti

La #révolutionhaïtienne prolonge et radicalise la #révolution française selon Frédéric Thomas. "En 1803 la révolution chasse les troupes napoléoniennes et instaure le premier État indépendant d’Amérique du sud où d’anciens #esclaves noirs prennent le pouvoir. Jusqu’en 1815, la #France est engagée dans des guerres napoléoniennes. #CharlesX arrive au pouvoir et en 1825 falsifie l’ #Histoire en éditant une ordonnance selon laquelle Haïti doit dédommager les anciens #colons". A cette condition, la France reconnaitra son @indépendance au pays, obtenue vingt-et-un ans plus tôt. Les remboursements s’étaleront jusqu’en 1957.

Une double dette qui s’inscrit dans une politique #néocoloniale

"On parle de double dette. Non seulement Haïti va devoir payer la dette mentionnée, mais pour la payer le pays devra emprunter l’argent dans des #banques françaises à des taux d’intérêts élevés. L’accumulation du remboursement de la dette et des intérêts fait qu’Haïti payera pendant plus d’un siècle explique Frédéric Thomas.

Cette dette a servi en partie à financer la #TourEiffel. "L’essentiel des fonds de cette dette a été investi en France et non pas en Haïti où elle aurait pu servir à construire des routes, des hôpitaux, etc."

Relancer le débat

Le débat a déjà été relancé par l’ancien président Aristide en 2003. Mais pour Frédéric Thomas, cela fait des années que les intellectuels haïtiens relancent le débat. "François Hollande l’a esquivé en parlant de dette morale".
"Le sentiment est ambivalent dans la population haïtienne, à la fois contente que l’histoire soit relayée par le #NewYorkTimes et en même temps frustrée de ne pas être entendue elle-même".
L'histoire de cette #doubledette étant connue depuis longtemps par les historiens.
