    THE TWENTIETH DAY OF JANUARY – HiLobrow

    J’adore - c’est une des plus belles théories conspirationnistes que j’ai jamais lu. Pour faire aussi fort il faut remonter au moins jusqu’aux illuminati . Bonne lecture :-)

    This really obscure British spy novel, written by Ted Allbeury, who was a contemporary of Len Deighton’s. It’s called The Twentieth Day of January. It was published in 1981. I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve been told that it is Donald Trump’s favorite thriller.

    THEORY OF EVERYTHING: I thought Donald Trump hasn’t read any books?

    “JOSH GLENN”: Well, I heard about this book everywhere. From spy novel fans in New York, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, Miami, Jersey City, Dallas — even London, Paris, and Prague.

    In each case, this was from someone who had encountered Trump in the late ’80s — when Trump was first rising as a celebrity. One woman used to work backstage on Oprah’s show — Trump talked to her about the book in the green room. There was a guy who worked as crew on Trump’s yacht — what was it called? The Trump Princess? And one guy had been a pilot on one of Trump’s Sikorsky helicopters. For a couple of years there, Trump apparently talked the book up to everyone he met — so enthusiastically that, years later, they remembered.

    Now, I never paid any attention to this. I had no interest in reading an obscure spy novel just because Trump liked it. But then over Christmas after the election, I was visiting family in Bozeman, Montana. And there it was, in a used bookstore: The Twentieth Day of January.

    THEORY OF EVERYTHING: And? Is it good?

    “JOSH GLENN”: No, it’s terrible. The plot is ridiculous. A Republican — Logan Powell — has just been elected president. This guy has never been in politics before, but he beats a crowded field of experienced politicians to become first a senator, then president. He’s from a wealthy East Coast family, but he sells himself as a populist. And his big idea is — he wants the US and Russia to be friends. And despite opposition from within his own party, this guy wins the election.

    THEORY OF EVERYTHING: This is kind of a weirdly prescient novel!

    “JOSH GLENN”: I’m just getting started! With only a month to go before the inauguration — on the 20th day of January — an officer in Britain’s intelligence service (!) who’d spent years under diplomatic cover working for the agency, MI6, in Russia and Paris and London, gets wind of a plot by the Kremlin to influence the US election.

    etc. #wtf #politique #littérature #it_has_begun

    Au fait, il est toujours de bon ton de ricaner de Seymour Hersh, mais depuis son article The Redirection en 2007, il n’y a toujours aucune narrative officielle permettant d’expliquer comment et pourquoi les États-Unis livrent des armes au groupe même qui a fait sauter les deux tours du World Trade Center en 2001.

    Non seulement je ne trouve pas de telles tentatives d’explication générale, mais surtout, à chaque fois qu’un article évoque le fait que « nos alliés » ou « les modérés » collaborent systématiquement avec Al Qaeda, et/ou que les armes américaines finissent immanquablement entre les mains d’Al Qaeda, l’audace s’arrête là ; pourtant ce n’est pas rien, de livrer des tonnes d’armes et d’explosifs à un groupe dont on nous a répété pendant une décennie qu’il était l’ennemi number one des États-Unis. Et personne ne réclame une narrative un tout petit peu cohérente à ce sujet ?

      BBC Protects U.K.’s Close Ally Saudi Arabia With Incredibly Dishonest and Biased Editing - Glenn Greenwald
      ▻https://theintercept.com/2015/10/26/bbc-protects-uks-close-ally-saudi-arabia-with-incredibly-dishonest-and

      But what this does highlight is just how ludicrous — how beyond parody — the 14-year-old war on terror has become, how little it has to do with its original ostensible justification. The regime with the greatest plausible proximity to the 9/11 attack — Saudi Arabia — is the closest U.S. ally in the region next to Israel. The country that had absolutely nothing to do with that attack, and which is at least as threatened as the U.S. by the religious ideology that spurred it — Iran — is the U.S.’s greatest war-on-terror adversary. Now we have a virtual admission from the Saudis that they are arming a group that centrally includes al Qaeda, while the U.S. itself has at least indirectly done the same (just as was true in Libya). And we’re actually at the point where western media outlets are vehemently denouncing Russia for bombing al Qaeda elements, which those outlets are manipulatively referring to as “non-ISIS groups.”

      It’s not a stretch to say that the faction that provides the greatest material support to al Qaeda at this point is the U.S. and its closest allies. That is true even as al Qaeda continues to be paraded around as the prime need for the ongoing war.

      Là aussi on avait ricané,
      ►http://www.unz.com/pcockburn/benghazi-hillary-clinton-is-guilty-but-not-as-charged

      In April 2013, the famed US investigative journalist Seymour Hersh published in the London Review of Books an account of what the CIA calls a “rat line” which was created in early 2012 “to funnel weapons and ammunition from Libya via southern Turkey and across the Syrian border to the opposition”. This was the result of an agreement between the US, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar to equip the armed Syrian rebels, and much of this weaponry ended up with jihadis affiliated to al-Qaeda. Hersh says that an account of what happened in setting up of the “rat line” is in a highly classified unpublished section of the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report into the death of Mr Stevens in Benghazi which was issued in January 2013.

      Under the terms of a secret agreement between the US and Turkey, partly funded by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, arms from Gaddafi’s arsenals were procured in Libya by retired US soldiers through Libyan front companies, with the operation overseen by the CIA and MI6. Normally, the CIA should have reported what it was doing to Congress, but an exception is made for liaison missions and “the involvement of MI6 enabled the CIA to evade the law by classifying the mission as a liaison mission”. Hersh cites a former intelligence officer as saying that the only purpose for the US to keep open a consulate in Benghazi “was to provide cover for the movement of arms”. After the murder of Mr Stevens, the CIA abruptly ended the operation which then came under Turkish control.

      The story would explain a relationship between the CIA and jihadis in Benghazi that might have led to the Americans being over-confident that they were safe from attack. Western governments have largely blamed Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the Gulf monarchies for arming the jihadi opposition in Syria, but the “rat line” shows the complicity of Western intelligence agencies.

    AFGHANISTAN • La CIA et le MI6 auraient financé Karzaï | Courrier international
    ▻http://www.courrierinternational.com/article/2013/04/30/la-cia-et-le-mi6-auraient-finance-karzai

    Le New York Times révélait lundi 29 avril le financement occulte et massif du gouvernement du président Hamid Karzaï par la CIA. C’est désormais au tour du Guardian, qui assure que le MI6 britannique verse lui aussi des fonds au dirigeant afghan.

    Rogue SSL certs were also issued for CIA, MI6, Mossad
    ►http://www.net-security.org/secworld.php?id=11565

    The number of rogue SSL certificates issued by Dutch CA DigiNotar has balooned from one to a couple dozen to over 250 to 531 in just a few days.
    As Jacob Appelbaum of the Tor project shared the full list of the rogue certificates, it became clear that fraudulent certificates for domains of a number of intelligence agencies from around the world were also issued during the CA’s compromise - including the CIA, MI6 and Mossad.

    Heu ... mais ... faut révoquer tous les certificats ou quoi ?
