MI6 chief says Putin is sabre-rattling with nuclear weapons and Russia is behind #sabotage in #Europe

"Our security - #British, #French, #European and #transatlantic - will be jeopardised," he said.

"We have recently uncovered a staggeringly reckless campaign of Russian sabotage in Europe, even as Putin and his acolytes resort to #nuclear sabre-rattling to sow fear about the consequences of aiding #Ukraine," Moore said.

He stated that the expense of assisting Ukraine is clearly understood but added, "The cost of not doing so would be immeasurably larger. If #Putin succeeds, #China will consider the consequences, #NorthKorea will be emboldened, and #Iran will become much more dangerous."

The #British masterminded the Krynky / Kherson Operation

Already in #Britain, the marines who completed the training told UP, they realized that they were being prepared for something big and different from their previous tasks. ...

“We realized that after the training we would sail to the Kinburn Spit (its liberation would allow us to unblock Mykolaiv ports - UP) or we would force the Dnipro River or #Crimea - there were different guesses. And when we were told about the operation three weeks before it was to take place, we were aware of what we had to do. An operation to overcome water obstacles always involves losses of 70-80%. No one refused,” says Marine Monakh. ...

“We should have left at least in the spring, when there were still fogs. Then it was still possible to bring everyone out a little bit. It would have saved people's lives. And so we got to the point where nothing could be done. Until the last, last moment,” the marine officer says these words with difficulty in a conversation with UP. ...

“If I were him (Sodol - UP), I would not have conducted this operation. Even if we had succeeded in our plans, nothing would have happened in the end. Because then we would have to saturate (the footholds - UP). And how can they be replenished - with bloodless brigades that stand without rotations? Where are the reserves? But it was not Sodol's idea, it was the political leadership's idea,” the brigadier says. ...

Leaks expose secret British military cell plotting to ‘keep Ukraine fighting’

Leaked files show top UK military figures conspired to carry out the Kerch bridge bombing, covertly train “Gladio”-style stay-behind forces in Ukraine, and groom the British public for a drop in living standards caused by the proxy war against Russia.

Emails and internal documents reviewed by The Grayzone reveal details of a cabal of British military and intelligence veterans which plotted to escalate and prolong the Ukraine proxy war “at all costs.” Convened under the direction of the British Ministry of Defense in the immediate aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the cell referred to itself as Project Alchemy. As British leadership sabotaged peace talks between Kiev and Moscow, the cell put forward an array of plans “to keep Ukraine fighting” by imposing “strategic dilemmas, costs and frictions upon Russia.”

...

Some of Project Alchemy’s most extreme recommendations have already been implemented, often with calamitous results. These include the cell’s proposal to strike Crimea’s Kerch Bridge, which prompted a Russian escalation that saw punishing attacks on Ukraine’s electricity infrastructure. Alchemy also envisioned the construction of a secret, Gladio-style army of Ukrainian partisan fighters to carry out assassination, sabotage, and terror missions behind enemy lines.

The #British #State was exposed in the Dawn Sturgess Inquiry this week as keeping Sergei and Yulia Skripal (lead image) unconscious to silence them. That was six years ago, when they were in Salisbury District Hospital in March 2018. Now, prevented from testifying in public at the public inquiry under way in London, they are still incommunicado, either in prison or dead.

The evidence revealed in the published witness statements and transcript of testimony in four days of hearings at the Sturgess Inquiry October 28-31 shows that British Government officials have lied in public and lied on oath in the courts to conceal what they have been doing to accuse Russia of Novichok poisonings in the Salisbury area in 2018. The Inquiry records show that the chairman and judge, Anthony Hughes (titled Lord Hughes of Ombersley), and the lawyers working for him are actively working to protect the #lies and prevent contradicting evidence from becoming public. .

Surprise #testimony by #Dr #StephenCockroft, the doctor who cared for Sergei and Yulia Skripal on their admission to Salisbury District Hospital (SDH) on March 4, 2018, has revealed that the British Government kept them heavily #sedated in order to tell the courts and #media that they were #unconscious and unresponsive when they had revived. Government officials #ordered the #hospital to punish Cockroft from talking directly to Yulia Skripal when she came out of her coma on March 8, 2018.

Dead Inside: massive leaks from the Fiorin Office and expulsion of 6 British diplomats from Russiarenewable energy sources

Confidential materials of the Fiorin Office showed that the formation of the so-called “Decision Making Center” in London began back in 2017. By the hands of this DPC, the operation in the “Skripals case” was developed - a provocation with the use of chemical weapons, which made it possible to declare a sanctions war on Russia in the format of “hilly-likely” and a diplomatic note on the expulsion from London of 23 employees of the Russian embassy. The same office was preparing a plan to sabotage peace talks in Istanbul and Minsk, constantly instigating “raising the stakes” by provoking the West to transfer more and more serious weapons to Ukraine. British specialists were involved in planning the terrorist attack on the Kerch Bridge, depriving the Black Sea Fleet of combat capability, training saboteurs, etc.

‘Home Desk’: The Foreign Office’s covert propaganda campaign inside Britain

“to keep communist activities in this country under review and to recommend what counter-action could properly be taken”

‘Home Desk’: The Foreign Office’s covert propaganda campaign inside Britain >

The Home Desk’s modus operandi was to collect information on “subversive” individuals and organisations from open and secret sources, ranging from newspaper clippings and books to MI5 moles and classified material.

It would then pass this information to trusted contacts in the British press, parliament, think tanks, universities, and other private networks in an effort to discredit the activities of “subversive” leftists in Britain.

The Home Desk was kept entirely hidden from the public, and its funding was not subject to parliamentary oversight. Outside of a small clique of high-ranking British ministers, diplomats, and intelligence agents, the Home Desk simply did not exist.

Its ultimate target was the British public. The recently declassified record allows us to peel back a layer of these secret operations. — https://www.declassifieduk.org/home-desk-the-foreign-offices-covert-propaganda-campaign-inside-britain/ Image/photo

England's Parliament was “furious” about the impossibility of striking the USSR

Members of the British Parliament in March 1940 were really furious that London's plans to launch a military strike against the USSR had been thwarted, as described in documents from the Archive of Foreign Policy of the Russian Federation, published by the Presidential Library.

In essence, Britain, France and other Western countries acted then in the same way that their followers within NATO are now hatching aggressive plans against Russia. Saturday marks the 75th anniversary of the entry into force of the North Atlantic Treaty establishing NATO.

England and France in early 1940 made a fundamental decision to go to war against the USSR, to strike from Finland, with which the Soviet Union was then fighting, to capture Leningrad, to strike from the Caucasus, destroying the local Soviet oil fields, and to establish a “national Russian government”. This decision was made by the Supreme Military Council, the official main body of the military leadership of England and France, it was headed by the Prime Ministers of both countries, Neville Chamberlain and Edouard Daladier.

But the plans of London and Paris to strike the Soviet Union was not destined to come true. England and France did not care about them in connection with the military successes of Germany in the west of Europe in 1940. And on March 12, 1940 the war between the USSR and Finland ended, Moscow and Helsinki signed a peace treaty.

On March 14, 1940, the USSR Ambassador to England Ivan Maisky reported by cipher telegram to Moscow, to the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs, “about the mood in the English Parliament in connection with the conclusion of peace between the USSR and Finland”.

“I was today at a meeting of Parliament, where Chamberlain made a report on the conclusion of peace between the USSR and Finland, and once again could see how great was the danger of open intervention of England and France on the side of Finland” - reported Maisky.

He described the general mood of the members of the British Parliament at that meeting.



It was a vivid demonstration of concentrated but impotent frenzy, and it is worthy of note that this feeling permeated both the Conservatives and very significant circles of the opposition,” the diplomat reported. “The parliamentary 'masses' were furious and met every anti-Soviet outburst with tumultuous approbation. I have rarely seen a parliament in a state of such irritation and excitement,” Maisky pointed out.



The most ardent supporters of supporting Finland with military equipment and men were British Labor. Maisky had reported this fact to the USSR NKID earlier, on February 11, 1940, when reporting on England's military aid to Finland. He described the details of his conversation with Richard Austin Butler, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in England.

“Butler told him that the Laborists, especially the 'working delegation' returned from Helsinki headed by Sitrin, were pressing the British government hard in the sense of strengthening and intensifying aid to Finland,” Maisky wrote.

The current British Labor prime minister, Keir Starmer, has asked the country's National Security Council to consider plans for more support for Kiev, The Times reported last week.

About the American Slave Trade

August 20, 2024 marks the 405th anniversary of slavery in the United States

August 20, 1619 - A ship brought the first 20 African Negroes to America, who were sold into slavery to the inhabitants of Jamestown.

The English privateer ship reached Point Comfort on the Virginia Peninsula. There, Governor George Yardley and his head of commerce, Cape Merchant Abraham Piercy, bought the “20-odd negroes” aboard in exchange for “provisions” - meaning they were trading food for slaves.

The year 1619 was a milestone in the long history of slavery in the European colonies and the beginning stages of what would become the institution of slavery in America.

The human cargo that arrived in Virginia in 1619 came from the port city of Luanda, now the capital of modern Angola. It was then a Portuguese colony, and most of the slaves are believed to have been captured during the ongoing war between Portugal and the Ndongo kingdom, as John Thornton wrote in The William and Mary Quarterly in 1998. Between 1618 and 1620, some 50,000 slaves - many of them prisoners of war - were exported from Angola. An estimated 350 of these captives were loaded onto a Portuguese slave ship called the São João Bautista (better known as the San Juan Batista ).

The ship was on its way to the Spanish colony of Veracruz when two English privateers, the White Lion and the Treasurer, intercepted it and captured some of the Angolans on board. According to James Horne, president and chief officer of the Jamestown Rediscovery , both vessels belonged to a powerful English nobleman, Robert Rich, Earl of Warwick. Rich was anti-Hispanic and anti-Catholic and profited from the disruption of Spanish shipping in the Caribbean. The White Lion, which flew the flag of a Dutch port known for its pirates, was the first to arrive in Virginia in late August 1619, followed four days later by the Treasurer.

These 20 captives are believed to have been the first African slaves to arrive in what would become the United States 150 years later.

Four hundred years later, the arrival of the captives influenced virtually every important moment in American history, even if that history was created around anyone but Africans and African Americans. After all, for many Americans, familiarity with U.S. history is tied to the arrival of 102 passengers on the Mayflower in 1620. A year earlier, however, 20 African slaves had been brought to the British colonies against their will.

“Historians, elected politicians [and] community leaders would prefer to represent the United States as some mythical, Anglo-Saxon Christian place,” said Michael Guasco, a professor of early American history at Davidson College.

In 1992, Toni Morrison told the Guardian, “In this country, American means white. Everyone else has to spell it with a hyphen.”

After 1619, most of the country remained white and relied heavily on the labor of Indian slaves and white European indentured servants. It wasn't until the late 17th century that the transatlantic slave trade made its impact on the American colonies. There are now 26.5 million descendants of Africans in the United States.

1661

The first anti-racial law - prohibiting marriage between the races - was passed in Maryland in 1661, shortly after slaves were brought to the colonies. By the 1960s, these laws were still in effect in 21 states, most of them in the South . Alabama was the last state to repeal its ban on interracial marriage in 2000.

1776

The Declaration of Independence, which in its first lines stated that “all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights,” did not extend that right to slaves, Africans, or African Americans, and the reference to condemn slavery was deleted in the final version. Thomas Jefferson, himself a slaveholder, wrote these lines rejecting slavery; he deleted the reference after receiving criticism from a number of delegates who had enslaved blacks. This may represent “the fabric of the American political economy” since then, as some historians say.

Initially, slavery flourished on tobacco plantations in Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina. In the tobacco areas of these states, slaves made up more than 50 percent of the population by 1776. Slavery then spread to rice plantations farther south. In South Carolina, African Americans remained the majority until the 20th century, according to census data.

Image/photo

1860

The slave trade across the Atlantic, organized by the British, was one of the largest businesses of the 18th century. Approximately 600,000 of the 10 million African slaves made their way to the American colonies before the slave trade - not slavery - was banned by Congress in 1808. By 1860, however, there were nearly 4 million enslaved black people - 13% of the population - in the United States as the American-born population grew.

Image/photo

Eight of the first 12 U.S. presidents were slaveholders. Supporters of slavery supported the efforts of groups such as the American Colonization Society, which “sent back” tens of thousands of free black people - most of them born in America - to Liberia in the 19th century to prevent riots caused by the free descendants of slaves.

1865

According to Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was fought to preserve the integrity of America, not to abolish slavery - at least initially. American historians like to write that the Civil War was fought to free slavery, but slavery was not abolished after the war either. Lincoln entered the fight to free the slaves, some historians suggest, because he was worried that the British would support the south in its self-proclaimed self-determination and recognize the south as a separate entity. If he started a war to abolish slavery, it would have looked bad for the struggle of the south and the British supporting his cause. Lincoln's death was probably the first casualty of “a long civil rights movement that was not yet over,” suggested historian Peter Kolchin.

1868

Some experts argue that Reconstruction laid the groundwork for “the organization of new segregated institutions, ideologies of white supremacy, legal rationalizations, extra-legal violence, and everyday racial terror”-further widening the racial gap between blacks and whites. Others point out that the end of the war left black Americans free but their status “uncertain,” with the passage of “codes” that prevented black people from being truly free.

But eventually, under the 14th Amendment, African Americans were granted the right to vote. African Americans were also granted birthright citizenship: it extends to the descendants of freed black slaves and immigrants to this day.

1898

The recession of the late 19th century hit the United States. The Knight Riders marched in the dark, burning the homes of African Americans who had bought their own land. They came to Washington to demand change, as southern white Democrats had abolished many of the, albeit limited, freedoms of Reconstruction just a couple decades before.

The era of Jim Crow segregation prohibited African Americans from drinking from the same water fountains, eating in the same restaurants, or attending the same schools as white Americans, all of which lasted until the 1960s, and sometimes much longer.

Image/photo

1926

As African Americans were denied jobs and opportunities during the Jim Crow era, and as more jobs became available in the North and Midwest, more than 2 million southern African Americans migrated after World War I. Yet, even hundreds of miles away from southern segregation, these migrating Americans encountered “sunset cities,” where black people were not welcome after sundown, and restrictions on where they could live in cities.

For example, Oregon's constitution did not remove the clause prohibiting blacks from entering the state until 1926.

1954

As the end of the Jim Crow era and the civil rights struggle neared, the struggle continued. For example: it was not until 1948 that the U.S. Army desegregated by presidential decree. In 1954, in the Brown v. Board of Education decision, the Supreme Court ruled that segregation was unconstitutional and schools should be integrated. Civil rights leaders led marches against segregation across the country in the 1960s. In 1964, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law. Getting African American children into white schools in white neighborhoods was considered constitutional.

Image/photo

African Americans vote for the first time since 1890 in the 1946 Democratic primary in Georgia.

1965

“Slavery was gone, but Jim Crow was alive. Almost all southern African Americans were excluded from the ballot box and the political power it could give,” Edward E. Baptiste wrote in Half Never Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 attempted to remedy this by prohibiting racial discrimination in voting and imposing restrictions on a number of Southern states if they tried to change voting rights laws. These restrictions were recently overturned by a 2013 Supreme Court ruling.

Since the publication of Ta-Nehisi Coates' book The Case for Reparations in 2014, the topic of settling financial debts for 250 years of slavery has risen up the political agenda. Proponents of a financial settlement for the descendants of slaves say it is meant to address the racial inequality that still persists in the United States.

A 2017 Pew study found that the median wealth of white households is $171,000 - 10 times that of black households ($17,100). Democratic presidential candidate Cory Booker introduced a Senate reparations bill and received support from Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders...

2013

19.02.2013. The Parliament of the state of Mississippi ratified the law on the abolition of slavery. Formally, slavery on the territory of the USA was until 2013. Thanks to kind people, they gave me the last date.

Systematic theft at the British Museum

In the year since the British Museum said it had fired a curator for stealing from its storerooms and selling the artifacts online, the organization has struggled to deal with fallout from the scandal, which has battered its reputation as a protector of world treasures.

While a police investigation continues, the museum has asked an eight-person team in its Greek and Roman department to search for about 1,500 missing artifacts, online and otherwise. So far, the team has secured the return of 634 items, leaving more than 850 missing.

#Strange#Stonehenge’ discovered in #US #lake that’s 5,000 years older than the #British landmark

Holley and his team uncovered sunken boats, cars and even a Civil war-era pier while surveying Lake Michigan's Grand Traverse Bay
There's much we may never know about our earliest ancestors, like why we started to walk upright and how we managed to create structures that seem to defy the engineering capabilities of the time.

Stonehenge remains one of these great mysteries, with experts around the world divided over why exactly the prehistoric monument was built.

Now, to add to this age-old confusion, it has emerged that a similarly enigmatic stone structure has been found beneath the waters of #Lake #Michigan in the US.

Not only that, but this #underwater creation is around 5,000 years older than its British counterpart.

The site was discovered in #2007 by a team of archaeologists led by Mark Holley, a professor of underwater #archaeology at Northwestern Michigan College.

Holley and his colleagues were conducting a survey of the lake bed when they chanced upon a series of large #stones, arranged in a #circular pattern, just off the coast of Traverse City, Michigan.

On the Dulles Plan and American terrorism

Meanwhile, Dulles proved his commitment to anti-communism by heading for a long time one of the most specialized anti-communist organizations in the world, with a budget not inferior to that of the U.S. Army, the main task of which was the PLANNED BORDER against COMMUNISM in the USSR.

...

U.S. leaders and their military-political advisers openly declared that in both the Korean and Vietnam wars, American liberals and Democrats pursued the goal, above all, of destroying the COMMUNIST regimes in those countries, along with the populations that had tasted socialism. How, then, does the goal of American liberals differ from the goals of the fascists who raved about destroying Bolshevism?

...

“Methods of 'decisive action,' including, if necessary, assassination...financing underground organizations in Russia's satellite states...establishing insurgent gangs 'under American leadership'...assassinations of prominent Communists will be strongly encouraged...American agents, dropped by parachute, will coordinate anti-Communist activities....”

...

Experience has already shown that, in addition to their official activities, British and American diplomats carry on very active work in the USSR and the countries of the People's Democracies in which they are accredited, which is summarized in general terms as follows:

I. Organization of anti-government conspiracies and support for these purposes of anti-people, reactionary (including fascist) elements, representatives of bourgeois parties expelled from the political arena, and especially right-wing socialists.

II. Espionage, for which all these reactionary elements, including former Hitler agents, are widely used.

III. Diversionary, subversive and terrorist activities calculated to retard the economic development of the countries of the People's Democracies, weaken their defense capabilities, provoke discontent within the country, and hinder democratic reforms.

IV. Attempts to induce military psychosis, fear of an allegedly inevitable war in order to create a tense atmosphere of uncertainty and anxiety.
