WITNESSES TO HISTORY

ALEX RUBINSTEIN—Just over a year before Senator Josh Hawley came under fire for egging on a supposed six-hour insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6th, he and Senator Ted Cruz partook in a yearlong, full-fledged insurrection in China funded by the National Endowment for Democracy, which featured actions more typical of insurrections such as widespread vigilant violence, property destruction, road blockades, occupations, serious vandalism of the local legislature building, vehicular attacks on police officers and knife attacks against enemy politicians.

Mere days following the IRF Summit, Hawley and Cruz teamed up yet again, filing an amicus brief with the Supreme Court, urging them to overrule their previous decision in Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling that legalized abortion in the United States.

WHITNEY WEBB—However, it is essential to note that Israeli intelligence did attempt to warn the U.S. government at least twice beginning in August 2001 as did the intelligence agencies of many other countries, including France, the UK, Egypt, Russia and Jordan. Yet, no people connected to any other intelligence agency other than Israel were caught celebrating the attacks as they took place in the area nor were accused by mainstream media of operating a large spy ring within the U.S. at the time. One theory to explain this discrepancy is that the Mossad elements of which the “Dancing Israelis” and other alleged Israeli spies could have been part of a specific section of Israeli intelligence that were acting independently as a rogue agency. Such a possibility is not unusual given that divisions of or groups within the CIA have been known to “go rogue” on several occasions.

T. MEYSSAN—In order to implement the USA Patriot Act, a new department was created, the Homeland Security Department, which brings together various existing agencies. It has a political police force capable of spying on any citizen. According to the Washington Post, which revealed this in 2011, it has hired 835,000 civil servants, 112,000 of whom are secretly employed [9], making the United States the most Orwellian country on the planet. The way this department works was revealed in 2013 by Edward Snowden. Snowden not only provided information about the NSA’s foreign eavesdropping system, but also about domestic mass surveillance in the US. He now lives as a political refugee in Russia. This system, although less documented, is gradually spreading to all Western states, through the ’Five Eyes’ [10]and Nato.

RT.COM—During their internment in the special brigade’s research unit, which was initially planned to hold 150 people, including Soviet pilots who had crash-landed in Manchuria, “new chemical poisonous substances and bacteriological agents” were tested on the prisoners, including anthrax and bubonic plague.
