A shadowy neoconservative website called Coda Story has launched a smear campaign against American journalists who challenge new cold war propaganda. But what this publication has not disclosed is that it is funded by the US government, backed by the European Union, linked to the NATO war alliance, and part of a larger network of regime-change outfits that are bankrolled by Western governments and corporate oligarchs.

This line up has me fired up!
This is the party that represents me
Mark your calendars: August 30th!
I now officially hate Democrats more than I hate republicans. While it wonât convince me to vote for Trump, their behavior will surely convince many others to do it. The only way to change anything is to destroy the party. Thereâs no other way. It has to fall.
FYI: Constitution was „Shredded“ on 9-11, U now live in a 100% surveillance state, U have no right to privacy, U have no 4th Amendment protections, & the Democrats voted for it, and Obama/Biden renewed it! & then repealed Habeas Corpus!
If the Democrats get in power they will be absolutely merciless on the poor and vulnerable. Theyâve been waiting four years to exact their revenge, and they are ready to rack up a body count.
You are the season of darkness. @JoeBiden @dnc You are monsters. You are frauds. You are the lie.
Over 70 Republican National Security Officials Endorse Biden, Deem Trump âDangerously Unfitâ For President
Among the statementâs signees are officials who served under Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush and Donald Trump, some of whom have served in the countryâs top defense and intelligence roles.
Former CIA head General Michael Hayden, former FBI and CIA chief William Webster, former National Intelligence director Michael Leiter and former Air Force secretary Mike Donley are among the officials now siding with Biden.
Absolutely one of the best things about her: Those close to Harris describe her as a âTruman Democrat,â a nod to her willingness to use American power to promote American values and interests.

Truman-Doktrin
Auch das US-amerikanische Engagement im Koreakrieg und der Marshallplan wurden mit den Argumenten der Truman-Doktrin begrĂŒndet. Durch die Truman-Doktrin wurde der auĂenpolitische Aspekt der Monroe-Doktrin endgĂŒltig abgelöst. Sie bildet auch die Rechtfertigung fĂŒr die Intervention der USA in innere Konflikte anderer Nationen, etwa im Griechischen BĂŒrgerkrieg, im Koreakrieg oder in Vietnam. Die âEindĂ€mmungâ des kommunistischen Machtbereichs zugunsten der âfreien Weltâ weist den USA faktisch die Rolle einer globalen Ordnungsmacht zu â im Gegensatz zur in der Zwischenkriegszeit herrschenden Politik des Isolationismus.
Dieser Anspruch der USA als globale Ordnungsmacht spielt auch nach dem Ende des Kalten Krieges im âKrieg gegen den Terrorâ noch eine groĂe Rolle.
The Biden Doctrine Exists Already. Hereâs an Inside Preview.
The Democratic nominee and his closest advisors served in the Obama administrationâbut their foreign-policy vision is finding inspiration in Harry S. Truman.
#Biden – „The Democratic nominee and his closest advisors served in the Obama administrationâbut their foreign-policy vision is finding inspiration in Harry S. Truman.“
What have the Democrats done to solve ANYTHING? Help the poor? No. Help black & brown people? No. Stop police brutality? No. Help single mothers? No. Help children? No. You have achieved nothing. NOTHING. Why did people vote Trump? Because of you motherfuckers.
Team Biden Now Signals Austerity, Despite Campaign Pledges
To review the situation: earlier this month, Bloomberg News reported that Bidenâs âcampaign rolled out a $3.5 trillion economic program over the past monthâ â one that âpromises to invest in clean energy and caregiving, buy more made-in-America goods, and start narrowing the countryâs racial wealth gaps.â This, said the news service, was proof that Biden no longer adhered to an ideology of austerity and deficit hawkery â which would be good news.
But then on the eve of Bidenâs convention speech, the Democratic nomineeâs top aide suggested to Washington reporters that, in fact, thatâs not true.
DNC embraces neocons, and Russiagate conspiracy just won‘t die – with Aaron MatĂ©
Max Blumenthal and Ben Norton speak with Aaron Maté about the virtual Democratic National Convention (DNC), and how the Democratic Party welcomes neoconservative war criminals and right-wing Republicans while attacking the left.
We also talk about Joe Biden choosing hawkish neoliberal „top cop“ Kamala Harris as his VP candidate. Then Aaron picks apart the new Senate Intelligence Committee report on Russia, and explains why the Russiagate conspiracy still won‘t go away, even after it has been debunked.
Rede auf Parteitag: „Biden hat Zweifel zerstreut“
Auch wenn wĂ€hrend des Parteitags teilweise der Energieschub einer vollen Halle gefehlt habe, habe die neue Form auch Vorteile gehabt, so BĂŒnten. So seien viele „normale Menschen“ zu Wort gekommen. Auch die direkte Ansprache der Politiker – teils aus dem Wohnzimmer – sei eindringlich gewesen.
Biden endorsed by the Prince of Darkness!
When a wave of torture and murder staggered a small U.S. ally, truth was a casualty.

* The CIA was instrumental in training and equipping Battalion 316. Members were flown to a secret location in the United States for training in surveillance and interrogation, and later were given CIA training at Honduran bases.
* Starting in 1981, the United States secretly provided funds for Argentine counterinsurgency experts to train anti-Communist forces in Honduras. By that time, Argentina was notorious for its own „Dirty War,“ which had left at least 10,000 dead or „disappeared“ in the 1970s. Argentine and CIA instructors worked side by side training Battalion 316 members at a camp in Lepaterique, a town about 16 miles west of Tegucigalpa.
* Gen. Gustavo Alvarez Martinez, who as chief of the Honduran armed forces personally directed Battalion 316, received strong U.S. support – even after he told a U.S. ambassador that he intended to use the Argentine method of eliminating subversives.
* By 1983, when Alvarez‘s oppressive methods were well known to the U.S. Embassy, the Reagan administration awarded him the Legion of Merit for „encouraging the success of democratic processes in Honduras.“ His friendship with Donald Winters, the CIA station chief in Honduras, was so close that when Winters adopted a child, he asked Alvarez to be the girl‘s godfather.
Negroponte endorses Biden: He beats Trump on ‚character, compassion and life experience‘
John Negroponte, who served as director of national intelligence under former President George W. Bush, endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden in his race against President Trump on Thursday in an interview with the Daily Beast.
âAll roads lead to Trump in a way,â Negroponte told the website. âIâm just not sure the country can withstand another four years of the presidency with a man who has shown such disregard to the office.â
Joe Biden: The Anti-Chaos Candidate
The former vice presidentâs unifying impulses were on full display, even at the risk of annoying his partyâs progressive wing.
Bowman on Democratic frictions: There seems to be ‚disconnect‘ between DNC, what‘s happening
Congressional candidate Jamaal Bowman on Monday told Hill.TV that there appears to be a âdisconnectâ between the top speakers at the 2020 Democratic National Convention (DNC) and figures he said represent the future of the party.
Full text and video: Joe Biden‘s speech at the Democratic National Convention
Ella Baker, a giant of the civil rights movement, left us with this wisdom: Give people light and they will find a way.
Give people light.
Those are words for our time.
The current president has cloaked America in darkness for much too long. Too much anger. Too much fear. Too much division.
Here and now, I give you my word: If you entrust me with the presidency, I will draw on the best of us not the worst. I will be an ally of the light not of the darkness.
It‘s time for us, for We the People, to come together.
âIâll be an ally of the light, not the darkness,â Biden says, tearing into Trump in acceptance speech
Closing out the four-day Democratic National Convention, Biden spoke for less than 25 minutes, relatively short by traditional convention standards, but it was his most consequential speech in half a century in politics.
While he never mentioned Trump by name, he hammered away at the presidentâs performance and the chaos of his administration as it struggles with a deadly pandemic and an economic calamity.

E3 AuĂenminister zum Ersuchen der USA, den Snapback-Mechanismus auszulösen
Am 20. August 2020 haben die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika dem VNâSicherheitsrat ein Schreiben ĂŒbermittelt und ersucht, den âSnapbackâ-Mechanismus auszulösen. Dieser ermöglicht es einem JCPoA-Teilnehmer, die Wiedereinsetzung der multilateralen Sanktionen gegen Iran anzustreben, die 2015 in Ăbereinstimmung mit der vom VNâSicherheitsrat verabschiedeten Resolution 2231 aufgehoben worden waren.
Frankreich, Deutschland und das Vereinigte Königreich, die sogenannten E3 stellen fest, dass die USA seit ihrem RĂŒckzug aus der Vereinbarung am 8. Mai 2018 kein Mitglied des JCPoAs mehr sind.
Wir haben unsere Position in Bezug auf die Wirksamkeit der US-Notifizierung gemÀà Resolution 2231 gegenĂŒber dem Vorsitz und allen Mitgliedern des Sicherheitsrats sehr deutlich gemacht.
Wir können diesen Schritt, der unvereinbar mit unseren aktuellen BemĂŒhungen um das JCPoA ist, daher nicht unterstĂŒtzen.
E3 Foreign Ministers‘ Statement on the JCPoA – Statement by the United Kingdom, France and Germany on the JCPoA
On 20 August, the US sent a letter to the UN Security Council requesting to initiate the âsnapbackâ mechanism, which allows a participant to the JCPoA to seek the reimposition against Iran of the multilateral sanctions lifted in 2015 in accordance with resolution 2231, adopted by the UN Security Council.
France, Germany and the United Kingdom (âthe E3â) note that the US ceased to be a participant to the JCPoA following their withdrawal from the deal on 8 May, 2018. Our position regarding the effectiveness of the US notification pursuant to resolution 2231 has consequently been very clearly expressed to the Presidency and all UNSC members. We cannot therefore support this action which is incompatible with our current efforts to support the JCPoA.
Streit um UN-Sanktionen gegen Iran: Pompeo kritisiert EuropÀer scharf
Irans UN-Botschafter Majid Takht-Ravanchi warf den USA Desinformation und Schikane vor. Sie hÀtten nicht das Recht, den Sanktions-Mechanismus zu nutzen, denn sie seien 2018 aus dem Atomvertrag ausgestiegen.
„Kein Land kann das Recht eines Vertrags in Anspruch nehmen, den es verlassen hat.“
Iran nuclear deal: European nations ‚siding with ayatollahs‘ – Pompeo
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has accused European allies of „siding with the ayatollahs“ after they said the US could not reimpose sanctions on Iran.
The UK, France and Germany said the US did not have the legal right to trigger „snapback“ sanctions because it pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal in 2018.
What Defendant Netanyahu Really Wants
So we must take seriously the report in Israel Hayom, the Netanyahu familyâs private journal, saying that the prime minister is willing to give up the one-year budget â and consequently an election â in exchange for appointing the police commissioner and attorney general of his choice.
US isolated as allies and opponents reject its bid to snapback UN sanctions on Iran
The Trump administration was left isolated on the world stage as foreign allies and competitors alike rejected its demand to restore UN sanctions on Iran Thursday.
