The CIA carried out a covert programme of mind-control experiments during the 50s and 60s

The records “rewrite the history” of the CIA’s covert and illegal MKUltra project, according to researcher John Greenewald Jr who spent almost 20 years trying to obtain the documents

Excerpt:

DISTURBING details of secret mind-control experiments carried out by the CIA have been revealed in newly released documents – that officials have been trying to hide for decades.

The new documents, released under the Freedom of Information Act, reveal how the CIA experimented on both humans and animals using drugs, hypnosis and electronic devices as part of the top secret – and illegal – mind control project MKUltra.

Shockingly the swathes of information still missing or redacted in the records could mean the CIA is STILL carrying out the experiments to this day, according to experts.

One document details how the CIA planned to drug “criminals awaiting trial held in a prison hospital ward” in a bid to develop “improved techniques in drug interrogation”.

Another document details the CIA’s interest in developing ways to cause amnesia in humans using experiments “no matter how weird, inconclusive or unusual”.

It goes on to detail how they were looking to find ways of developing hypnotic speaking techniques which would control the minds of “large audiences” and “heighten group susceptibility”.

Experiments which were “too dangerous, too shocking, too unusual for routine testing would be of interest to us,” the memo from 1956 reads.

The Liberal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to sign the UN Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration at an intergovernmental meeting in Marrakech, Morocco, on December 10, 2018.

Few Canadians are aware of what this UN Global Compact represents; even fewer have been consulted, and without any mandate except for a parliamentary majority, Justin Trudeau is committed in signing Canada into an agreement with far-reaching consequences — not only for Canadians.  Canada agreeing to abide by the agreement will also have consequences for Americans, as among migrants entering Canada might well be those intending to sneak into the United States across the world’s longest open border. (bold emphasis added)

The UN Global Compact spells out, in 34 pages of fine print, requirements for member-states to adopt as policy accommodating unfettered mass migration from the global South to the North.

Excerpt:

At climate change talks in Katowice, Poland, there is a lot of worried talk about the revolt by the French people over President Emmanuel Macron’s fuel tax increase.  The tax increase was a large part of Macron’s effort to combat global warming, and the elites in Poland are concerned that voters in other E.U. countries will think protesting their government’s trying to save the planet on their backs isn’t such a good idea.

Politico:

“The way forward is not easy, is not straightforward,” European Commission Vice-President Maroš Šefčovič said at the talks in Katowice.  “In the end it will be the people’s decision how much they’re ready to change the way they behave, how they live.”

France’s troubles were seized upon by climate skeptics to underline the unpopularity of costly decarbonization efforts.

U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted: “The Paris Agreement is fatally flawed because it raises the price of energy for responsible countries while whitewashing some of the worst polluters … in the world.  I want clean air and clean water and have been making great strides in improving America’s environment.  But American taxpayers – and American workers – shouldn’t pay to clean up others countries’ pollution.”

Cohen exits NY federal courthouse after guilty plea (CNN screen grab)

American Thinker

Excerpt:

Once again, Robert Mueller’s team is nailing a witness they want to use to incriminate President Trump in some nefarious scheme with a guilty plea for lying, and thereby discrediting any future testimony against the intended target. Well, at least it gives them a scalp to nail to the wall to justify the tens of millions of dollars already expended over the last two years in an effort to unseat a sitting president.

But Trump’s enemies are certain that the end is near.

As Brooke Singman of Fox News points out

Significantly, Mueller’s questions to Trump included a specific inquiry about any interaction or communication Trump may have had with Cohen and others, including foreign nationals, regarding real estate developments in Russia during the campaign.

But Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani told Fox News’ Catherine Herridge there is no “contradiction” with Trump’s answers and they “remain comfortable” with the president’s responses.

Trump, in response to Thursday’s plea deal, called Cohen a “weak person” and accused him of lying to get out of trouble.

There was nothing at all illegal about the Trump Organization negotiating a real estate development deal with Russia or anyone else during the campaign, or even in office, for that matter. Perhaps Cohen mis-remembered the date the talks ceased, or perhaps he was  trying to avoid embarrassment. That embarrassment was not because of any illegality or impropriety but rather has to do with keeping up appearances of confidence in victory.  It seems obvious that President Trump was hedging his bets, not 100% certain that his campaign would bring victory (as 99%+ of the media and “experts” predicted), and not torpedoing the process of exploring new business projects, a steady of stream of which is necessary to maintain his activity as a developer.

Excerpt:

In a wide-ranging, exclusive interview with The Post, President Trump said Wednesday that if House Democrats launched probes into his administration — which he called “presidential harassment” — they’d pay a heavy price.

“If they go down the presidential harassment track, if they want go and harass the president and the administration, I think that would be the best thing that would happen to me. I’m a counter-puncher and I will hit them so hard they’d never been hit like that,” he said during a 36-minute Oval Office sitdown.

The commander-in-chief said he could declassify FISA warrant applications and other documents from Robert Mueller’s probe — and predicted the disclosure would expose the FBI, the Justice Department and the Clinton campaign as being in cahoots to set him up.

Excerpt:

The read of the day is Angelo Codevilla’s dose of reality about the nature of our “ally” and “friend” Saudi Arabia, titled “What Is Saudi Arabia to Us?“

Unlike virtually all of the commentary on the killing and dismemberment of Jamal Khashoggi, Codevilla does not pretend that politics in Saudi Arabia are anything but a matter of life-and-death factional conflict among the roughly 5,000 male members of the royal family, descendants of Ibn Saud, the regime’s founder, who seized power with the help of hard-line Wahhabi clerics.

It seems that Saudi Arabia’s rulers murdered an opponent.  The U.S. media and political class is shocked, shocked, to find that murder is going on in such precincts.  Who did they imagine the Muslim world’s leaders are?

Moreover, our chattering class demands that President Trump do whatever it takes to make sure that they do nothing like that again.  Do what?  Does anyone really think that swapping sheik A for sheik B would improve their kind’s moral standards?  Do they have any idea of what keeps A on top of B, what it would take to switch them, or what the repercussions would be in foreign policy?  Are they naifs, idiots, or are they just playing with foreign policy to make life a little harder for Trump? …

Saudi Arabia’s rulers are a subspecies of the desert rats endemic in the region.  The ones on the cheese now are of the clan of seven sons out of old king Saud’s favorite wife, Suda, and hence are known as Sudaris.  The previous ruler, Abdullah was the only son of another wife.  When Abdullah’s birth-order turn came, in 2005, he took the throne thanks only to having mobilized the national guard of bedouins for war against the national army (and everything else) controlled by the Sudaris.  Today, when you read about Mohammed bin Salman’s “anti-corruption reforms,” you should know that they target primarily Abdullah’s son and other relatives.  In other words, what is going on, including murder, is a purely dynastic power play.  But that is Saudi Arabia’s nice side.

Excerpts:

WASHINGTON — A lawyer for Paul Manafort, the president’s onetime campaign chairman, repeatedly briefed President Trump’s lawyers on his client’s discussions with federal investigators after Manafort agreed to cooperate with the special counsel, according to one of Trump’s lawyers and two other people familiar with the conversations.

……………………………………..

Downing did not respond to a request for comment. Though it was unclear how frequently he spoke to Trump’s lawyers or how much he revealed, his updates helped reassure Trump’s legal team that Manafort had not implicated the president in any possible wrongdoing.

On Tuesday morning, Trump unleashed another blistering attack on Mueller, calling him a ‘‘conflicted prosecutor gone rogue’’ who is doing ‘‘TREMENDOUS damage’’ to the criminal justice system. ‘‘Wait until it comes out how horribly & viciously they are treating people, ruining lives for them refusing to lie,’’ Trump said. ‘‘Mueller is a conflicted prosecutor gone rogue. . . . The Fake News Media builds Bob Mueller up as a Saint, when in actuality he is the exact opposite. He is doing TREMENDOUS damage to our Criminal Justice System,” Trump tweeted.
