Welcome to The Daily Wrap Up, a concise show dedicated to bringing you the most relevant independent news, as we see it, from the last 24 hours (6/16/18).
I want to begin today by addressing a concern many have expressed from my last show, and which was partly due to an odd “glitch” in my video (that was not in the raw file by the way) that happened to cut out when I was expressing just how much of a distraction the mainstream media is, but I also noted on the FBI story that I was referring to. In the moment that was cut out, I explained that the FBI story in my eyes is a distortion, but not because it’s fake, or not important, or that the FBI should not be held accountable, quite the opposite. Anyone who has been watching this show for a while knows how long I harped on the lack of accountability of the FBI, especially following the FISA Memo that was supposed to either bring down the Deep State, or threaten National Security, depending on which side of the false two-party divide you chose to listen to. Yet it did neither, but it certainly exposed the criminal nature of the FBI, for which no one was ever held accountable. I even ran a tally of how many days passed with clear evidence of crimes committed, and no one being charged. Yet, today, this shape-shifting “investigation” carries on.
We know that Comey lied. We know that Obama lied about Clinton’s sever. We know that Clinton lied about everything. We know that the FBI covered for her. We know that the FBI tried to sabotage Trump. These are all facts, with evidence to support them. Yet, it seems that every time there is huge story worthy of covering that the powers-that-shouldn’t-be don’t want the masses paying attention to, a new addition to this never-ending saga gets pushed out, while the past crimes once again become eclipsed by the media fervor around the new salacious claims that simply draw out the old information in some new and tabloid worthy manner.
Currently there are quite a few major developments being overlooked due to this type of sleight of hand media coverage: The fact that Israel is moving its Arrow 3 exoatmospheric missiles to Kodiak Alaska for “testing.” Forget for a moment the massive amount of pollution these types of tests always leave behind, it is still very newsworthy for a nation currently being investigated for massive human rights violations and war crimes to come onto US soil to test is weapons of war, yet, not a peep from the corporate media. We have the ever-increasing threat of an impeding false flag in Syria that both Syria and Russia are warning about with evidence of direct US involvement, and we get silence.
Worst of all, is the despicable, and completely orchestrated complete media blackout of what is going on right this moment in Yemen. It is estimated that about 18.4 million civilians are on the brink of starvation due to the action of Saudi/UAE bombing campaigns that are directly supported and aided by the US military. Not to mention the cholera epidemic that is also plaguing the people of Yemen, especially since the US and Saudis just bombed a newly built, well-marked Doctors Without Borders cholera clinic, that the Saudis were given exact coordinates for in order to avoid just such a bombing. This was very intentional, for the precise purpose of making sure the suffering intensified. This is the way of western war. Sanctions, bombings, starvation tactics, all designed to inflict the largest amount of suffering onto the civilian population, in hopes that they turn on their own government in desperation. They then swoop in with a new puppet regime to take its place, completely under the control of western powers and which only serves the interests of its puppet masters, well before that of its own nation. This is well documented throughout US history.
The fact is, that we have all the information readily available — and undisputed — both from the past and for what is currently taking place; civilians are dying in unprecedented numbers, that is a fact. It is the perception around that fact that is being disputed, or rather, propagandized. Yet far too many put their heads in the sand for one partisan reason or another.
The reality is that the UN has condemned what is going on in Yemen, and the international community has been quite clear about its disgust for what is taking place. Multiple human rights organizations have spoken out about the atrocities being committed, yet the US military is still directly involved in this effort, some might even suggest leading it in many ways. How does one justify that? Regardless of the context, how can we be okay with our tax dollars going to support genocide, or the funding of a known and verifiable terrorist organization? All while calling out others, without the same luxury of facts, for a fraction of the deaths.
The same goes for Israel; verifiable civilians deaths on a massive scale, more so than even the lies that have been spread about US enemies. Yet apparently that’s okay, because… Hamas. Or in Yemen’s case, because… Iran. The simple involvement, or more accurately, the accusation of the involvement of a US enemy, somehow justifies the civilian deaths as just “collateral damage” for some vague and hazy greater good that never seems to be in reach; human rights just no longer apply, international law no longer applies.
How can we allow this? Even if all of this is being done with the best of intentions, and they truly feel their actions are somehow for the good of humanity, which they are clearly not, and they clearly do not, but even if that was the case, they are obviously doing the exact opposite, and they have a long track record of making the same “mistakes” with the same catastrophic results. Yet many have already realized that those results were the plan all along. But either way, the fact that we allow partisan propaganda and blind patriotism to justify this ongoing glaring hypocrisy and state sanctioned genocide, is truly despicable.
I am embarrassed to be associated with the actions of this government, and how it tarnishes what I know this country can be, what this country’s people can be, and are capable of being, if not poisoned by the sinister and pernicious actions of those who abuse the people’s desire to believe. They puppeteer the people into horrible choices and pat them on the back telling everyone, “they did it for country,” while that is demonstrably false. They then stand back and allow the American people to take the blame, to take the hatred they created around the world, and use it all over again to propagandize the next generation, into war. They tell them, “See how much they hate you; they hate your freedom.” But sadly, as Goethe said:
“None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.”
Please take the information discussed in the video below and research for yourself, and come to your own conclusions. As anyone telling you what the truth is, or claiming they have the answer, is likely leading you astray, for one reason or another. Stay Vigilant.
