Tag: NEO: New Eastern Outlook

Jim W. Dean - The Ship of State is adrift, with the new Trump administration attacking the media and the Intel agencies, when he might already have sown the seeds of a new Watergate-type investigation.

Jim W. Dean - It’s been hectic first month for the new administration with cracks beginning to show in the overly confident new White house group that is heavy in political operatives but grossly short in the experience and skills for running a large and complex government.

Jim W. Dean - Trump Tweeting has pushed Mosul virtually out of the news, along with many other things, like Libya, Africa, refugee camps in the EU, MH-17, and all the other unfinished pieces of business.

Jim W. Dean - To no one’s surprise, the new Trump administration has been conducting a carefully choreographed roll out of “The World that Donald made”, but they haveunfortunately bitten off more than they can chew.

Jim W. Dean - VT has not covered Indonesia much, and Jakarta...never. So when I spotted this excellent article by Mr. Vltchek on NEO, it was time to jump in. The story of a new governor turning a corruption-ridden city around in two years seemed hard to believe.

Jim W. Dean - This is another classic Gordon retrospective on our current administration's earthquake rumblings that signal someone wants to change the American landscape in a major way that the voters will regret.

Jim W. Dean - This is a classic Gordon retrospective piece featuring the phenomenon of the Women's March, which the world had never seen stimulated by the inauguration of a new American president before.

Jim W. Dean -VT has nibbled on this controversy over the years, our biggest contribution being that one of the reasons that Africa was kept in a permanent state of chaos was that it was sitting on an ocean oil.

Jim W. Dean - VT has been a harsh critic of American media, or what is left of it anyway, for its having abandoned what the Founding Fathers tasked it with doing, keeping the public informed on what government was really doing.

Jim W. Dean - I was always amazed that the Democratic Left never really challenged Obama on his permanent war policy, or even the continued drone strike program which had grown into a Frankenstein.

Jim W. Dean - Has a neo-Genghis Khan and army descended upon Washington? If so, we will not have to wait long to get confirmation. Trump and a Republican-controlled Congress will now have blank check power to rule America, something we have historically preferred to avoid with either party.

Jim W. Dean - Christopher Black has been on the front lines of the abusive use of military forces as a tool for special interests, where declassification of past conflicts has revealed a steady stream of manufactured threats as tools for ulterior motives.

Jim W. Dean - I had to use this feature image for the lunacy of all it. Hillary and her DNC insiders hacked the crap out of Bernie, which the Wikileaks showed us all, and Donna Brazile subsequently left the planet.

Jim W. Dean - The Trump news of asking all ambassadors to turn in their resignations only lasted a day in the news. So we are happy to see NEO's Phil Butler follow up with his tongue in cheek wish list of those we hope will be standing in an unemployment line in February.

Hanoi John McCain continues to be the embarrassment he has long been, with no "coming to Jesus" moment anywhere on the horizon. If ever there was a threat to US national security it rests between this man's two ears.

Jim W. Dean - Has Clooney gone looney? If he ever had any presidential aspirations they will be going up on smoke if it makes this movie on the White Helmets. Anyone who could be suckered into white washing the White Helmets for their aiding and abetting terrorism in Syria would be considered a major security risk.

Jim W. Dean - This is another Gordon classic, and a challenging read. He does a lot of dot connecting on the current stories, but adds the infamous VT touch of digging back into the roots of who is doing what to whom, and why.

Jim W. Dean - The corner has finally turned on getting the hard cold spotlight on the scale and perversion of the Western media terror war on Syria. And it has been nothing less than that, dressing up hard core terrorists as do-gooder Boy Scouts.

Jim W. Dean - Mr. Sheikh takes on an interesting topic, the anticipated ploy of Trump to use the carrot on Putin to wean him away from the triumvirate with China and Iran. That would be a tall order indeed.

Jim W. Dean - It looks like we are ending the year on a high note, with Santa having come early by bringing us this gift of mainstream coverage on "false news".

Jim W. Dean - You must forgive me for the Rod Serling plug but we are all children of our times and those who can remember watching early black and white TV will never forget the Twilight Zone.

Gordon Duff - Behind the scenes, the NeoCon cabal that many believe staged 9/11 and that certainly fabricated the casus belli to justify what was intended to be an American conquest of Central Asia, has now emerged as the real power behind Trump.

Jim W. Dean - The caliber of people in public life is so often so low, it makes influencing their behavior mere child's play for those in the professional problem fixing business.

Jim W. Dean - China has done nothing by grab a few cheap headlines in Syria, over some medical supplies "to fight terrorism", and similarly with Iraq. It is saving its resources for the home front.

Some of us hope that Trump will begin tracking down the ratline that led to a billion dollars of advanced American weapons that ended up in the hands of terrorists fighting in Syria and Iraq. The scale of this is no accident.

Gordon Duff - Will Putin allow Netanyahu to play his game, which includes betrayal of Russia? How far will Netanyahu get before Russia asserts herself militarily?

The Euro is murdering the nations and economies of the EU quite literally. Since the fixed currency regime came into effect, replacing national currencies in transactions in 2002, the fixed exchange rate regime has devastated industry in the periphery states of the 19 Euro members, while giving disproportionate benefit to Germany.

Jim W. Dean - Mr. Sheikh makes the case in his article that rebel fortunes will continue to decline in Aleppo, but how much of a win that will be for Damascus remains to be seen.

Jim W. Dean - All of the GOP insiders who are contending for top slots hid from the public during the primaries because they would have spoiled Trump’s “drain the swamp” pitch by being visible. But here they all are. Color me suspicious.

Henry Kamens - Earlier this year the U.S. military launched cruise missiles at radar sites along Yemen’s Red Sea coast, after its ships were supposedly targeted by missiles fired from rebel-controlled areas. Apparently the last cruise missile attacks didn’t work, because the rebels are still shooting. This suggests that neither the attacks on the warships nor the US response were real, but were more false flags during an election year in support of failed US regional policy.

Jim W. Dean - The Arab world has a lot to fear from Trump, as he will also be the de facto president of Israel, with Shelley Adelson as an unofficial Secretary of State for Netanyahu.

Seth Ferris - The real reason for this move is not sanctions against the Russian state. It is because a seemingly unimportant event has the potential to shake the foundations of the United Kingdom – and those in the corridors of power have just woken up to it.

Jim W. Dean - We are watching the fruits of regime change and destabilization in Iraq getting ready to be picked -- now that this weak and corrupt government can no longer hold a fractious state together without outside support.

Jim W. Dean - Putin and Lavrov’s “rope-a-dope” tactic of letting the West and its media bash away at Russia endlessly seems to have worked, because the West is losing the credibility war. The proof is growing like weeds all over the alternative media.

Jim W. Dean - Going through the world news everyday as an editor has become a job of running a virtual gauntlet of embarrassment, caused by the repetitive duplicity and irresponsibility of those who claim to wear the mantle of freedom and democracy.

Jim W. Dean - China has countered the US Navy's long-term threat to its trade by turning the Eurasian landmass into a high speed rail route, which will have a tremendous economic ripple effect over all that it touches.

Jim W. Dean - Gordon rips Assange a new one over his fatal Achilles' heel. Despite all of his penetrations, Israel, the ADL, Shelly Adelson and the whole Jewish Lobby infrastructure worldwide has been able to block Wikileaks from getting into their shorts. It must be a miracle.

Jim W. Dean - Kerry was caught telling the Free Syrian Army shills that the US being in Syria, as are the others, is illegal...but we are using the "War on Terror" hot pursuit shtick as thin cover.

Jim W. Dean - One of the methods the VT network uses to track false flag terrorism is to keep close track on the tools and methods that we know have been used successfully in the past.

Jim W. Dean - Mr. Engdahl has the classic expose' below to once again validate VT's editorial position that not only the wars but American "economic interests" are now being run by international organized crime.
