Hillary Clinton is repeating the methodology of the Iran/Contra affair, using “black” funds to finance the operation to ensure President Correa is not re-elected.
I had two excellent sources for the news that the US/UK strategy against Julian Assange was to ensure the defeat of President Correa in Presidential elections next spring, and then have him expelled from the Ecuadorean Embassy. One source was within the UK civil service and one in Washington. Both had direct, personal access to the information I described. Both told me in the knowledge I would publish it.
Of course Assange is not the only reason Clinton wants rid of Correa; but it adds spice and urgency.
We now have completely independent evidence from Chile that this CIA operation exists, from journalists who were investigating a smuggling operation involving 300 kg per month of cocaine, organised by the Chilean army and security services.
The links to US intelligence emerged after an anonymous source from the Agencia Nacional de Inteligencia (ANI) told Panoramas News that the smuggling of 300 kilos of cocaine was in fact a highly sensitive CIA/DEA operation that would help to raise money to topple the government of Ecuador. The operation is similar to the one carried out by the Agency in Central America during the Iran-Contra scandal in the 1980’s, the source said.
A few days ago I published information I had received that Patricio Mery Bell, the director of the news programme which broke the story, had been lured to a meeting with a young lady “informant” who had worked with CIA-backed anti-Cuban groups in Miami. She had then accused him of sexual assault (does any of that scenario sound familiar?) He was arrested and his materials had been confiscated. However I took the article down after jst a few minutes because I had received the information in emails from sources I did not know previously, and was unsure it could stand up. It does now appear that this is indeed true.
My Washigton informant had told me, as I published, that the funds for the anti-Correa operation were not from the CIA budget but from secret funds controlled by the Pentagon. This could not be done by CIA funds because, perhaps surprisingly, for the CIA to operate in this way is a crime in the United States.
Whether my informant knew or suspected that the “secret Pentagon funds” were drug money I do not know. They did not mention narcotics.

Gaza Blitz – Turmoil And Tragicomedy At The BBC
http://www.medialens.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=706:gaza-blitz-turmoil-and-tragicomedy-at-the-bbc&catid=25:alerts-2012&Itemid=69
“I think it’s got to do with Iran, actually”. Rabbi Sacks, Radio 4.
What he’s implying here is that because Israel has totally (and embarrassingly) failed to convince the world of the existence of Iranian WMD, that the Iranians have not risen to the multiple provocations of Israel and, most importantly, Iran’s strategic ally Syria is still standing, all means Israel has limited options on who it can attack in the region for it’s traditional pre-election build up.
“You see Evan, it’s all Iran’s fault for refusing to give Israel the war it wants. Now let’s have a prayer to the Jewish God that you worship, the one who says I am special and you are not, for those that are suffering…”
Zionist tactics at work again.
“The BBC was forced to apologise to the Chief Rabbi for ‘ambushing’ him into making unguarded comments about the Gaza crisis when he believed he was off-air.” (Daily Mail today).
“At the price of great suffering on both sides of the border, the government’s aim had been accomplished: the social issues, which threatened to assume prominence in these elections, have been pushed aside and removed from the agenda of the elections campaign. Forgotten, too, is the brave attempt of Mahmud Abbas to address the Israeli public opinion. In the coming weeks, the headlines will be filled with constant war and death, destruction and bloodshed. When it ends at last, it will be revealed that no goal has been achieved and that the problems remain the same, or perhaps got worse.”

Nov 17, 11:03 GMT: Tunisian Foreign Minister Rafik Abdessalem during his visit to Gaza tells Israel to halt aggression as it is unacceptable.
Nov 17, 10:39 GMT: Chief of Staff Benny Gantz has ordered the IDF to increase the pace of strikes on Gaza, following an assessment meeting in Tel Aviv’s headquarters, YNet reported.
Nov 17, 10:13 GMT: Unconfirmed reports that the IDF has begun artillery strikes on Gaza from tanks positioned on the border.

The Daily Telegraph, Guardian and BBC are reporting negatively about the latest quarterly report (November 2012) from the IAEA on Iran and its nuclear enrichment.
I cannot find this IAEA report in the public domain even on the IAEA official website. I could be wrong but it seems that the report has been given to the MSM first in order for the media to put their spin on its contents in advance of the reports publication.
Can anyone here help find the report so I can challenge the media’s take on it?
I think the point of the public apology to the chief rabbi is simply that the Lobby wanted a public show of obeisance.
It’s absolutely ridiculous for anyone to go into a radio studio, sit opposite the person who’s interviewing them, receive a question, answer it, and then complain afterwards that they hadn’t been told “OK, Mr Rabbi, watch for the red light, and then you’ll know you’re on air, and just to help you even further, we’ll say ‘NOW’ when the red light comes on”. I mean it’s not as if he’s been bugged in his bathroom, is it? The man was sitting in a ****ing TV studio getting interviewed.
Meanwhile, how about the obscenity of allowing ‘Thought for the Day’ to be done by the chief rabbi, at a time when his organisation is slaughtering civilians before the faces of the world?
So once again, they get what they want – a) a show of obeisance, and b) a linkage of the word ‘Iran’ to the latest Israeli massacre, as if they’re responding to something to do with some imaginary danger from Iran.
The BBC statement: “The chief rabbi hadn’t realised he was still on air and as soon as this became apparent, we interjected. Evan likes to be spontaneous with guests, but he accepts that in this case it was inappropriate and he has apologised to Lord Sacks. The BBC would reiterate that apology.”
Oh, so it’s not about Iran, then? Or what? As if the chief rabbi hasn’t had an PR training. This isn’t someone from the lower orders getting tricked. (In which case, of course, there wouldn’t be an apology.)
Is this the same chief rabbi who wrote a book in which he included the statement that there is some truth in all religions, and then when he got criticised by some of the more rabid members of his own religion, responded with words to the effect of ‘Yes, you’re quite right, but I was only speaking to the goyim!’
And look at the outrageous way the BBC reports this story about itself:
“according to one senior BBC executive, the incident reflects the chaos at BBC News. ‘This is another cock up for BBC News – they are a law unto themselves on this one,’ said the source.”
This is ritual kneeling and obeisance to Zionist power.
And they continue:
“Lord Sacks is the chief rabbi. You show him some respect. This may also fuel the idea in some people’s minds that the BBC is anti-Israel.”
!!!!!!!!!!

Note Davis calls him Jonathan. All very pally down at New Broadcasting House.
I thought that they might have taken it out but they could not I suppose in view of the notice that has been taken of it.
Here is John Hilley on the subject. {http://johnhilley.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/gaza-and-thoughts-of-rabbi-sacks.html}
There are many copies of e-mails sent to the BBC ‘acting’ head of news, Fran Unsworth, which the editors at Medialens have posted up on their message board following their latest article which Dreoilin linked to.
The litany of names of the dead. 40 now. Terrible. No words.

On ‘BDS’ – boycott, divestment, sanctions. These tactics should certainly be supported.
But it’s worth noting that the official ‘BDS’ organisation recognises the right of Israel to exist, which certainly should not.
Sorry if this sounds stupidly sectarian at the present time. It isn’t meant to be!
Oh poor tiny, defenceless Israel! This graphic shows the reality.

Crazy crazy picture of Netanyahu with fizzing bomb representing Iranian nuclear policy, apparently:

And apparently it is Israel who decides what is ‘unacceptable’. I’m reminded of the map showing Iran surrounded by US bases.
Doug, will try and find report – you are quite right: the last one was spun out of all recognition.
The current IAEA report is described as a “leaked” report so I don’t think it is online anywhere yet.
Anyone else having some strange formatting problems with this site or is it just me. Comment box is tiny so I hope this comes out ok.
Anon,
Do you see a group of tiny dots in the lower right hand corner of the comment box? You can drag it and make it bigger from there.
Mass protests in Tel Aviv, heavens bless them.

Harry Fear reports (on Facebook) that his Internet is down. Still has limited cellphone access though.
No comment by Israel yet on the Hamas claim that they captured three Israelis overnight – it was just after that claim that Israel paused all bombing for 80 mins I noticed.
Another video from the protest in Tel Aviv. Technicolour, I think your link is to a more recent report; the protest seems to have grown:

He says that he was interviewed by the BBC. I haven’t searched the BBC site, but I’ve seen no links on the front pages:

Clark,
I see that the hasbara cockroach habbaabbb is very busy smearing everyone. Cannot you zap him in the name of free expression?
While the financial system burdens our lives and corrupt men plot our course, maybe it’s time for us to take stock, to examine, to analyse our own human inventory. We can cheer and comfort ourselves with boycotts, campaigns; words and echoes that express our pain, yet our efforts are transitory.
I believe only a movement right now will evolve the future existence of our progeny. I also believe it is our duty, an undertaking for the well-being of future generations.
The establishment is prepared for this. Domestic deployment of those recruited by enforced hard times will fuse into a territorial rapid response army to protect a corrupt administration/government.
An imminent stifling of ‘freedom to protest’ MEANS an imperative for the British public to realise an essential committal to connect and integrate, to work together as one opposing force.
The BBC is not our voice, the media is not our words.
I am quite sure we can all sign an oath to protect our own free will and those who follow us, the children who will succeed us.
A million signatures on sworn statements is superior, worthier and more sophisticated than a million march. We should do this immediately, right away.
I propose this day, today – who will support me, who will execute the way?

two links so two posts.
Anon: thanks. while looking found this very salient paragraph which as usual totally contradicts the fear-mongering, lying headline, and most of the language used in the piece itself.
“While experts agree that the Islamic Republic could assemble enough weapons-grade uranium to arm a nuclear weapon relatively quickly, they point out that this is only one of a series of steps need to create a working weapon. They say Tehran is believed to be years away from mastering the technology to manufacture a fully operational warhead”

A simple question:
If Gaza were Jewish, and run by Ben-Hamas, and Israel were Shi’a*, run by Ibn-Likud, wouldn’t we have declared a no-fly zone over Gaza already? Supplied AA batteries to assist the rebels in their struggle for freedom? Cheered their every advance in the MSM? Or would commercial considerations have outweighed, as at present, our loudly-trumpeted concern for the oppressed?
It would be nice to know the answer to that one, Mr. Hague.
*Like Syria’s government, to labour the point

Karel, I resigned as a moderator here; I no longer have any access to the software.
During “Cast Lead” Ramattan TV from Gaza provided live feeds when it could to many tv networks. Hadn’t seen it this time so checked it’s old livestation feed and it seems to be there. If you install Livestation at http://www.livestation.com/en/pages/download you can select Ramattan channel for live shots from cameras in Gaza city. Press TV, Al Jazeera, RT etc are also available on Livestation.
Both the Windows and Linux versions have the Ramattan feed but the Android app doesn’t. Haven’t tried the others.
