Here’s why the FBI is likely to be interested in Jared Kushner’s meeting with Russians

Michael Flynn. Kushner. Now-Attorney General Jeff Sessions. They all met with Russian officials at some point, and CNN and the New York Times, respectively, have reported that Sessions and Kushner did not disclose their meetings with Russians on their security-clearance forms. A security clearance is required before a person can be privy to the nation‘s top secrets. Other members of Trump‘s campaign already had deep ties to Russia, among them former campaign manager Paul Manafort and adviser Carter Page.

Incineration Ceremony by Thomas Andrew Doyle

Incineration Ceremony is the new work by Thomas Andrew Doyle (TAD, Brothers of the Sonic Cloth, Hog Molly) and is a return to roots of sorts. Spending his formative years in music playing in Jazz clubs while attending school studying classical and jazz music at Boise State University, Doyle comes forth with a symphonic take on what is going on in his head. Spawned from the dark and dreary recesses of Doyle’s psyche comes an immense sound of textures, rhythms and material suitable for film and stand alone listening, disquieting all who are within an earshot. People who are familiar with his music should expect the unexpected….

Nato-Beschluss: In der Verantwortung für Trumps Krieg

Die Trump-Regierung habe begonnen, so schildert es der Topdiplomat James Dobbins in einer Analyse des International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), die Befugnisse für Angriffe „auf der Befehlskette nach unten zu schieben“. Während nach den Leitlinien der Regierung Obama noch Konsultationen im Weißen Haus nötig gewesen seien, um Angriffe in Kriegsgebieten zu genehmigen, sagte Dobbins, passe Trump die Befehlswege der US-Streitkräfte an die mittlerweile flexiblere, dezentralisierte Form des IS an.

G7-Gipfel auf Sizilien: Rückschritt statt Fortschritt?

Bei G7-Treffen spielt die Chemie eine wichtige Rolle. Weil das Gremium gar nicht legitimiert ist, für die ganze Welt bindende Beschlüsse zu fällen, ist entscheidend, ob es ihm gelingt, Einigkeit zu demonstrieren und so starke Signale auszusenden. Das ist nicht einfach, wenn gleich vier der sieben Gipfelteilnehmer einander noch kaum kennen – neben Trump sitzen auch der Franzose Emmanuel Macron, die Britin Theresa May und der Italiener Gentiloni neu in der Runde.

Jede Menge Action

Auch für „jede Menge Action“ wird den Verantwortlichen zufolge in Rüsselsheim gesorgt: Soldaten der auf Kommandoaktionen hinter den feindlichen Linien und Aufstandsbekämpfung spezialisierten „Division Schnelle Kräfte“ (DSK) geben Anschauungsunterricht in „Nahkampf und Selbstverteidigung“.[7] Ähnliches ist auf dem Fliegerhorst Faßberg (Niedersachsen) geplant. Dort zeigen laut Programm Angehörige des zur DSK zählenden „Kommandos Spezialkräfte“ (KSK), wie man „Geiseln befreit“.[8] Die Vorführung dürfte insbesondere unter dem Aspekt der Imagepflege auf die Agenda gesetzt worden sein – in Afghanistan war das KSK erwiesenermaßen in illegale Hinrichtungen sogenannter Terrorverdächtiger involviert.

The Globalization of War, America’s “Long War” against Humanity by Michel Chossudovsky

The “globalization of war” is a hegemonic project. Major military and covert intelligence operations are being undertaken simultaneously in the Middle East, Eastern Europe, sub-Saharan Africa, Central Asia and the Far East. The U.S. military agenda combines both major theater operations as well as covert actions geared towards destabilizing sovereign states.
