Zbigniew Brzezinski, one of the most influential US political thinkers at the height of the Cold War, has died aged 89, according to his daughter. The advocate of US hegemony, Brzezinski, authored numerous proposals to bring down the Soviet Union.

"My father passed away peacefully tonight," his daughter and MSNBC anchor Mika Brzezinski wrote. There was no word of the cause of death.

Arming the Mujahideen in Afghanistan to bleed the Soviets, transforming Iran into an anti-Western republic, and the brokering of the Camp David Accords – are among the best known outcomes of his strategies.

Brzezinski inadvertently helped create Al-Qaeda, when he convinced President Carter that running a secret CIA program to launch a proxy-war against the USSR-backed Afghan government was going to “induce a Soviet military intervention.”

“We didn’t push the Russians to intervene, but we knowingly increased the probability that they would,” he said in a 1998 interview with Le Nouvel Observateur.

“The day that the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter, essentially: 'We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war.'"

“That secret operation was an excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it?” he told the interviewer.

“What is more important in world history? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some agitated Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?”

Less than four years later, those “agitated Moslems” would destroy the World Trade Center and damage the Pentagon, setting off the endless “war on terror” that continues to this day.

Secret court rebukes NSA for 5-year illegal surveillance of U.S. citizens

Miami Herald
May 27, 2017

WASHINGTON 

U.S. intelligence agencies conducted illegal surveillance on American citizens over a five-year period, a practice that earned them a sharp rebuke from a secret court that called the matter a “very serious” constitutional issue.

The criticism is in a lengthy secret ruling that lays bare some of the frictions between the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court and U.S. intelligence agencies obligated to obtain the court’s approval for surveillance activities.

The ruling, dated April 26 and bearing the label “top secret,” was obtained and published Thursday by the news site Circa.

It is rare that such rulings see the light of day, and the lengthy unraveling of issues in the 99-page document opens a window on how the secret federal court oversees surveillance activities and seeks to curtail those that it deems overstep legal authority.

The document, signed by Judge Rosemary M. Collyer, said the court had learned in a notice filed Oct. 26, 2016, that National Security Agency analysts had been conducting prohibited queries of databases “with much greater frequency than had previously been disclosed to the court.”

It said a judge chastised the NSA’s inspector general and Office of Compliance for Operations for an “institutional ‘lack of candor’ ” for failing to inform the court. It described the matter as “a very serious Fourth Amendment issue.”

The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government, and is a constitutional bedrock protection against intrusion.

Federal Prosecuter Investigating DNC Voter Fraud Found Dead

Angry Patriot Movement
May 27, 2017

A reputable Miami prosecutor, Beranton J Whisenant Jr., likely never thought his life was in danger.

Yet, the man’s body just washed up on a Hollywood, Florida beach. Whisenant had been investigating DNC voter fraud. (via Dennis Michael Lynch).

This husband and father of three was only 37. He leaves behind a devastated family and community.

Also, he wasn’t just investigating the DNC voter fraud. He was also in charge of a few cases of other crimes, those which the liberals love to pretend don’t exist: passport and visa fraud.

This man was no friend to those in the deep state, who would rather their crimes go overlooked. Many Democrats, who rely on illegal voters and even voter fraud, would have ample reason to want Beranton Whisenant out of the way.

The mainstream media is already doing their part to cover-up any potential wrong-doing in this case. The Miami Herald has suggested that if the death was a crime or “retaliatory” than authorities would be more aggressive.

For their part, police have simply stated that Whisenant seems to have suffered some kind of head trauma, possibly a gun shot. They are still looking into the matter.

There is no reason to think authorities are not being aggressive in their pursuit of this case. Why can’t the media just let the police do their job? Why can’t the media just stay out of the way in general and report the FACTS like they’re supposed to?

Any American death deserves a full investigation from authorities. There is no reason to dismiss the possibility that Whisenant was murdered. If he was murdered, the media is just enabling a serious criminal.

We patriots prefer to support authorities in their investigation. No one can deny that the body of a prosecutor washing up on a beach, with head trauma, is a serious matter that deserves our full attention. Whisenant matters to us, and he matters to his community.

Benjamin Greenberg, Acting US Attorney, said that Whisenant “was a great lawyer and wonderful colleague, and we will miss him deeply. Our thoughts are with Beranton’s family and friends.”

Learning the circumstances of his death should be a top priority, not swept under the rug.
