After viewing my exposé of his erroneous assertion that the neocons are not really Zionists, the alternative media gatekeeper Robbie Martin has hardened his stance, calling my rebuttal ‘reverse Hasbara’ without addressing a single point raised.
Likely at the behest of his sister Abby, he also took a shot at “Holocaust deniers.”
Reverse Hasbara: bombing comment threads of legitimate anti-Israeli government critique with holocaust denial and other discrediting shit
He initially challenged me to a debate on the neocon subject, which I accepted, but he then quickly backed out.
@bmartinez567 i think i’m going to have to bow out of the ‘debate’. this is just getting more than a tad on the weird side for me — Robbie Martin (@FluorescentGrey) August 16, 2015
Like most left-wing gatekeepers, Martin’s impetus appears to be to try to set up narrow parameters for what constitutes “legitimate criticism of Israel”, and then once these barriers have been established, dismissing anything that goes beyond his watered down analysis as off-limits, heretical and “discrediting”.
Their hypocritical use of the pejorative “Holocaust denial” is a testament to the dishonesty of the Martin siblings. While they label anyone who asks legitimate questions about the victors’ interpretation of the Second World War and the Holocaust narrative “deniers,” they concurrently decry the mainstream media’s use of the term “conspiracy theorist” to discredit dissenters and skeptics of government narratives.
First produced in July 2014, the following GRTV documentary looks at the crisis in Iraq, prior to the launching of the US bombing campaign
This short documentary examines the support that the US and Israel are providing to the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), which use to call itself Al-Qaeda in Iraq and more recently calls itself the Islamic State, and its self-declared “caliphate.”
Audiences are presented with past analyses from the Centre for Research on Globalization (CRG), by Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya and Michel Chossudovsky, that connects the dots between the two crises in Iraq and Syria and the long war of the US that is ultimately aimed at controlling Eurasia.
The US military cannot go into any country that it desires for regime change. This is why Washington has applied other techniques for regime change. In 2006, with the failure of the US to break the Resistance Bloc or Axis of Resistance in the Middle East, the US began its “redirection” policy and opted to use insurgencies, sectarianism, colour revolutions, and intensified covert operations.
One of the people that set the stage for the division of Iraq is Joseph Biden, the current vice-president of the United States. When Biden was a US senator in the US Congress, he presented the Biden Plan to divide Iraq into three sectarian entities in 2008. In part, the Biden Plan created one of the blueprints for the political face of the current crisis in Iraq.
The US also wants the federal government in Iraq to be replaced, because it refused to help the US and its allies in the war against Syria, its alliance with Iran, Iraq’s growing trade and purchases of military hardware from the Russian Federation, and Iraqi oil sales to China. Because of Washington’s desires for regime change in Baghdad and its plans to divide Iraq, the US government has been delaying aid to the Iraqi government. Russia and Belarus, on the other hand, have stepped in to militarily help Baghdad, alongside Iran and Syria.
While the US is covertly supporting the division of Iraq, Israel is overtly been supporting this as outlined by the Yinon Plan. After the ISIL’s 2014 offensive inside Iraq began, Iraqi officials reported that the Israelis were present in Iraqi Kurdistan and also involved in assisting the ISIL fighters inside Iraq’s borders. Tel Aviv has even openly told Washington to let the different groups in Iraq kill one another, just like Iran and Iraq were doing during the Iraq-Iran War. While Israel refuses to allow or recognize Palestinian independence, Israeli officials have called for the international community to recognize the dismemberment of Iraq by recognizing Iraqi Kurdistan as a separate republic. This is because Israel plans on using the Kurdish people as pawns and Iraqi Kurdistan as a regional outpost.
The Kurdistan Regional Government has used the ISIL’s 2014 offensive as an opportunity to takeover the multi-ethnic and oil-rich Iraqi city of Kirkuk and to announce that it plans to declare independence from Iraq. In part, petro-politics and control over energy is tied to the Kurdistan Regional Government’s plans of secession and its armed takeover of Kirkuk, which it has claimed as its historic capital. The Turkish government has already been making illegal energy deals with the leaders of the Kurdistan Regional Government for Iraqi oil. Reports are also surfacing that Israel will buy Iraqi oil from the Kurdistan Regional Government via Turkey.
[Potent News editor’s note: With respect to the RT article titled, Anti-Islamic & anti-racism protesters clash in Melbourne, get pepper sprayed by police, those clashes could likely be an indication of forced multiculturalism. That’s the tricky part about even beginning to speak about this subject. Sure, Australia might have a lot of Arabic immigrants coming in – though the true extent might be exaggerated – but this influx is by design.
As Maurice Herman has noted countless times, the western agenda is to bomb countries and then have refugees move to the countries that bombed them. Global homogenization and destruction of history and tradition is the ultimate agenda and this agenda is slowly progressing successfully. Italy is seeing the same problem that Australia is seeing, and so is the US.
Australia being really friendly with NATO does not help matters, since NATO and its proxy forces are largely responsible for fomenting the chaos in the Middle-East.
According to wikipedia, “Australia and New Zealand, both contact countries, are also members of the AUSCANNZUKUS strategic alliance, and similar regional or bilateral agreements between contact countries and NATO members also aid cooperation. In June 2013, Colombia and NATO signed an Agreement on the Security of Information to explore future cooperation and consultation in areas of common interest; Colombia became the first and only Latin American country to cooperate with NATO.”]
Paul Joseph Watson, a commentator for the sell-out ‘alternative’ media network Infowars, has gone full Sean Hannity in a new video released today (posted above).
In his customary dead-eyes-yelling-at-the-camera speaking style, Watson declares Islam a “violent ideology” that requires a “reformation” to do away with its alleged inherent flaws. He cites the discredited fraud and neocon operative Ayaan Hirsi Ali as a prime choice to lead this new “reformation.”
The impetus for Watson’s latest unreserved assault on the religion of 1.5 billion people was a string of alleged ISIS attacks that occurred today in France, Tunisia and Kuwait. Watson, who at a more honest point in his career routinely questioned the official narratives surrounding terrorism spectacles, has evidently lost any rational thinking ability in the face of sensational headlines. Whether or not these latest outrages are organic or yet more Gladio-style covert operations is yet to be determined, but Watson’s narrative gets convoluted when at the end of the video he acknowledges that Western powers have been backing ISIS from the outset of that group’s rise to prominence. Yet he still somehow manages to place all of the blame for its violent extremism on Islam as a whole, which would include all of the faith’s dozens of offshoots and differing schools of thought. The main country Watson indicts with respect to sponsoring terrorism is Saudi Arabia, a mere appendage of the US empire in the Persian Gulf. He apparently has no knowledge of CIA sponsorship of violent militant groups the world over, from Suharto’s death squads in Indonesia, to Khmer Rogue in Cambodia, to the Contras in Nicaragua, and of course ISIS and al-Qaeda.
Watson made no mention of the dozens of Muslims killed monthly by US drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and elsewhere, nor did he make any attempt to elucidate how the US and Britain have precipitated the deaths of several million Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001. Following the false-flag attacks of 9/11, the West has inflicted unimaginable devastation and ruin upon multiple Muslim countries, leaving them in a state of abject failure. US and UK forces have utilized chemical, biological and nuclear (depleted uranium) weapons in their wars of aggression in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya, rendering entire cities and villages virtually uninhabitable. Western forces have created millions of refugees and orphans in the Middle East, and have permanently ruined the genes of future generations of Iraqis and Afghans who have been exposed to radioactive depleted uranium which causes horrific cancers and birth defects. Such weapons have caused untold damage to water and food supplies in those countries, which lead to yet more deaths and misfortune.

U.S. President Barack Obama (C), (Reuters / Jonathan Ernst)
President Barack Obama’s reference to US training “ISIL forces” has raised eyebrows, no less because of the White House’s odd edit in the transcript of the president’s speech on confronting Islamic State.
After getting briefed on US efforts to fight the self-proclaimed Caliphate occupying large swaths of Syria and Iraq, Obama told reporters Monday at the Pentagon that the US was ramping up the training of local forces to complement airstrikes conducted by the US-led coalition.
What he actually said, however, was “we’re speeding up training of ISIL forces, including volunteers from Sunni tribes in Anbar Province.”
ISIL stands for Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, and is the US government’s preferred term for the group, also known as ISIS or, more recently, Islamic State.
The official transcript released by the White House contains the word “Iraqi” in brackets following the acronym ISIL, instead of something much more intuitive, such as prefacing the acronym with “anti-”. The clumsy edit allowed one to read the statement as if the US Commander-in-Chief was not confessing to training jihadist militants all over the region, but only the ISIL forces based in Iraq.
Obama’s omission and the White House’s attempt to explain it away have caused some perplexity on Twitter.
