SHOW NOTES
#WTWOF…
#WTWOF Ramping up Black v Blue again: pregnant woman shot by cop in Seattle, cop who shot Philandro Castille acquitted & dashcam released, cop who shot Sylville Smith acquitted; cop stabbed in Michigan (by someone screaming “Allahu Akbar!” but the blue angle holds)
#WTWOF FBI takes on a more prominent role in implementing the totalitarian state – perhaps this folds in with the Black v Blue agenda item to effectively or actually nationalize the police. (FBI getting headlines on cop stabbing and Congressional baseball shooting)
#WTWOF Prison Industrial Complex Uncaged!
#WTWOF Due Process continues to be on the block: “Anonymizing” everyone – starting with informants (i.e., no more right to face your accuser! What could possibly go wrong?)
Re Syria – here are some of the sources to which I referred…

Ukraine
A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm (1996):
Israel can shape its strategic environment, in cooperation with Turkey and Jordan, by weakening, containing, and even rolling back Syria. This effort can focus on removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq — an important Israeli strategic objective in its own right — as a means of foiling Syria’s regional ambitions….
Israel’s new agenda can signal a clean break by abandoning a policy which assumed exhaustion and allowed strategic retreat by reestablishing the principle of preemption, rather than retaliation alone and by ceasing to absorb blows to the nation without response.
Oded Yinon Plan (1982):
“Breaking up Lebanon into five provinces precedes the fate that awaits the entire Arab world, including Egypt, Syria, Iraq and all the Arab peninsula; in Lebanon, it is already an accomplished fact. The disintegration of Syria and Iraq into ethnically or religiously homogenous provinces, like Lebanon, is Israel’s top priority, in the long run, on its eastern front. In the short run, the objective is the military dissolution of these States. Syria will be divided into several States, according to the ethnic communities, so that the coast will become an Alaouite Shiite State; the Alep region, a Sunni State; Damas, another Sunni State hostile to its northern neighbor; the Druses will make up their own State, which will perhaps extend to our Golan, and in any case in Haouran and northern Jordan. This State will guarantee peace and security in the area in the long run: that is an objective that is, now within our reach.”

PNAC: Rebuilding America’s Defenses (2000):
In the Persian Gulf region, the presence of American forces, along with British and French units, has become a semi-permanent fact of life. Though the immediate mission of those forces is to enforce the no-fly zones over northern and southern Iraq, they represent the long-term commitment of the United States and its major allies to a region of vital importance. Indeed, the United States has for decades sought to play a more permanent role in Gulf regional security. While the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the immediate justification, the need for a substantial American force presence in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein. (p. 14)
Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event––like a new Pearl Harbor. (p. 51)
Wesley Clarke reveals US plan for Syria a decade ago!
Here is an excerpt from his famous interview with Amy Goodman:
I knew why, because I had been through the Pentagon right after 9/11. About ten days after 9/11, I went through the Pentagon and I saw Secretary Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz. I went downstairs just to say hello to some of the people on the Joint Staff who used to work for me, and one of the generals called me in. He said, “Sir, you’ve got to come in and talk to me a second.” I said, “Well, you’re too busy.” He said, “No, no.” He says, “We’ve made the decision we’re going to war with Iraq.” This was on or about the 20th of September. I said, “We’re going to war with Iraq? Why?” He said, “I don’t know.” He said, “I guess they don’t know what else to do.” So I said, “Well, did they find some information connecting Saddam to al-Qaeda?” He said, “No, no.” He says, “There’s nothing new that way. They just made the decision to go to war with Iraq.” He said, “I guess it’s like we don’t know what to do about terrorists, but we’ve got a good military and we can take down governments.” And he said, “I guess if the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem has to look like a nail.”
So I came back to see him a few weeks later, and by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan. I said, “Are we still going to war with Iraq?” And he said, “Oh, it’s worse than that.” He reached over on his desk. He picked up a piece of paper. And he said, “I just got this down from upstairs” — meaning the Secretary of Defense’s office — “today.” And he said, “This is a memo that describes how we’re going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.” I said, “Is it classified?” He said, “Yes, sir.” I said, “Well, don’t show it to me.” And I saw him a year or so ago, and I said, “You remember that?” He said, “Sir, I didn’t show you that memo! I didn’t show it to you!”

Initial reports of accident killing CEO Kalanick’s mother
Follow Up on accident This article falsely reports the boat hit a rock off the California coast – not true – the boat supposedly hit a rock in the very placid lake in Fresno which was the couple’s backyard; no follow up on the results of the investigation has been reported even though none of the typical causes of a boating accident were alleged to be present such as alcohol or drugs, excessive speed, unfamiliar territory, rough waters, crowds, youthful recklessness, brand new or very old equipment…so what happened?
