(WMR)—The annual UN General Assembly plenary session, held at the end of September, once featured world luminaries discussing real issues that affect real people. That is no longer the case. Now, amid the comings and goings of the limousines carrying vapid world leaders to and from the UN headquarters in Turtle Bay, are a series of star-studded dinners and seminars that have turned New York’s annual summit into an East Coast version of the Oscar Award ceremony complete with red carpets, stretch limos, and paparazzi.

Rwanda’s dictator Paul Kagame, who came to power after ordering a 1994 aerial assassination of the Hutu Presidents of Rwanda and Burundi, an event that triggered off a massacre of ethnic Tutsis and a holocaust of 5 million people in the neighboring Congo (Kinshasa), has warmed up to a group of extremists who favor Israeli expansionism.

(WMR)—WMR’s sources inside the Washington Beltway report that President Obama relied solely on signals intelligence (SIGINT) provided by Israel’s version of the U.S. National Security Agency, Unit 8200, to conclude that Syria’s government ordered the August 21 chemical attack on the Damascus suburb of Ghouta. Continue reading →
(WMR)—WMR’s sources in Lebanon report that three deadly car bombings, one on August 15 in a Hezbollah-controlled area south of Beirut and two outside two Sunni mosques in Tripoli on August 23 during Friday prayers were intended to import into fragile Lebanon the Sunni-Shi’a/Alawite/Christian violence that is currently raging in neighboring Syria.

(WMR)—President Obama has played a cruel joke on critics of National Security Agency surveillance by naming to his Review Committee on NSA Programs his former chief of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs Cass Sunstein. Also known as Obama’s “information czar,” Sunstein, who is married to UN Ambassador Samantha Power, left the administration to return to Harvard Law School. Sunstein also works out of the George Soros-funded Center for American Progress in Washington, DC. Continue reading →
(WMR)—Just as Americans were led astray by the cable news media about Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction prior to the disastrous U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq, once again, viewers of cable news channels are being subjected to another information warfare campaign. This time it is an alleged Syrian government chemical attack on “thousands” of civilians in the Ghouta region outside of Damascus. Continue reading →

Poorly-armed Islamist forces fighting against military forces armed with superior Russian weaponry. Government forces purposely killing its own citizens. Russia unwilling to back down from supporting its secular ally. Continue reading →
If President Barack Obama’s ill-conceived policy of “Responsibility to Protect” or R2P, sold to him by George Soros’s groupies Samantha Power, Susan Rice, and other advisers with their feet not completely planted on terra firma, was intended to bring stability to the Middle East, it has had the opposite effect. The recent military crackdown in Egypt by that nation’s military-led government is a case in point . . . Continue reading →
(WMR)—WMR’s sources in Europe and Yemen have confirmed that the Obama administration and the government of Yemeni President Abdo Rabbo Mansour Hadi faked a recent terrorism warning that Yemen was about to be besieged by Al Qaeda forces who planned to attack U.S. and other Western targets in the country. Continue reading →
The Obama Doctrine will eventually go down in the history books as a period during which the Obama administration honed the brute force military interventionism of his Republican predecessor, George W. Bush, into one that combined overt and covert U.S. military and intelligence intervention with election interference, trade sanctions, financial manipulation, and propaganda operations. This multi-faceted interventionism is known by the Pentagon as strategic influence operations. Continue reading →
The Obama administration’s “Asia Pivot” is playing out in earnest in joint U.S.-Indian-Israeli intelligence operations in the Himalayan region. The actions by the three cooperative nations’ intelligence agencies are aimed at limiting Chinese influence here. The strategy in the mountainous area of the Sino-Indian border complements other U.S. strategies now being played out in the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea, the South China Sea, the South Pacific, and the Indian Ocean to box in China and prevent it from challenging America’s military presence in the Asia-Pacific region.

(WMR)—Groucho Marx is famously quoted as once saying, “I don’t want to belong to any club that would have me as a member!” If one is able to judge others by the company they keep, Groucho’s sentiments could apply to the nefarious Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), founded in 1921 by the world’s wealthiest and most influential tycoons on the four pillars of unbridled capitalism, imperialism, Zionism, and elitism.

In many ways, National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden is more wanted by the U.S. government than was Osama Bin Laden just six months after the 9/11 attack on the United States. Continue reading →
A formerly secret CIA “Current Intelligence Weekly Summary,” dated March 19, 1959, provides evidence of the agency’s early cooperation with Islamist sects that were influenced by Saudi-inspired Wahhabists. As early as 1959 and the Dwight Eisenhower administration, CIA analysts were praising Sudan’s Ansar sect, made up of followers of Imam Sayid Abdul Rahman al-Mahdi, who “formed the principal support of the more pro-Western officers” of the Supreme Army Council and the cabinet.

Recent revelations that the U.S. National Security Agency is conducting massive meta-data vacuuming of the phone calls and Internet transactions of tens of millions of Americans and, perhaps, billions of people around the world, with little or no effective oversight by President Obama, the U.S. Congress, or the federal court system means that the intelligence agency has become, in its own right, a global superpower.

Obama and Al Qaeda: United in Kenya and Syria
Posted on September 26, 2013 by Wayne Madsen
(WMR)—President Obama and his “Responsibility to Protect” policy crew of UN Ambassador Samantha Power, National Security Adviser Susan Rice, and Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes have not only made common cause with Al Qaeda-affiliated Jabhat al Nusra and Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant terrorists in Syria but, by pressuring Kenya’s government internationally, have weakened Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta and Vice President William Ruto. The Kenyan government has been battling against Al Shabab Islamist terrorists from Somalia who killed scores of shoppers at Nairobi’s Westgate Mall and may have been behind a costly fire that destroyed the international terminal at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
