Russia Targeted by WADA – Doping Scandal

Posted on by Helena

A doping scandal, an epidemic, and a history that is an embarrassment – to many. Let’s see who? Oh my!  Oh my!

Olympic Doping has quite a history it would appear:   In 2014, the score was; Latvia and Ukraine tied for – 2, Austria, Sweden, Poland, Germany, Russia, Italy – 1. In 2010 we had just one – Poland. In 2006, we had Austria – 7! Russia – 1. In 2002, Austria again came in first with – 4 dopes, Russia – 3, UK, Spain and Belarus – 1. Prior records are sketchy – 1988 – Poland – 1, and 1984 – Mongolia – 1.

Based on the evidence, Austria is the clear winner! Yea, they are forever banned. Oh wait. Never mind.

Doped horses: Ireland is clearly the winner with – 5, Germany – 2, and Norway and Brazil each – 1.  And the Winner is!

Doping cases for cyclists is so long it bears pages and pages of names with the US leading the pack in 2012, but by 2015, everyone had hopped on the bandwagon; Netherlands, Denmark, Italy, France, UK, Turkey, Canada, Columbia, US, Czech, Chile, New Zealand, Russia, Slovenia, Algeria, and Venezuela. Pardon me if I unjustly left someone out of the scoring.

So why all the hoopdela suddenly? No one has ever before considered banning an entire country? Gasp, could it be…

Who is making the accusations against Russia? WADA, World Anti-Doping Agency, a French company based in Canada, whose current leader is a British sports administrator, born in Scotland. He was a Badminton player who lobbied for the ‘sport’ to be recognized as an Olympic event and won. He was knighted by the queen of England, for what no one is quite certain. What we DO know is that  WADA is apparently an expensive business to run…

WADA 2013 Financial:  Salaries and Consulting fees – roughly $13million, travel $3.8million, Grants $4.87million, Admin and IT $4.67million, oh and testing fees, the thing they are created to do – $689,700 representing 2% of their budgeted expenses. Hmmm. As of 2013, their total assets amounted to a whopping $34,563,969 – a nonprofit foundation…

Hillary move over.

Where do they get their funding? Half comes from the Olympic Committee, half from world governments. In 2014, the total budget was over $26 million. Of that, $13 million came from governments. The US, Canada and the UK accounted for 35% of its government funding.  Could that be considered a conflict of interests?

In 2013, Jamaica was on WADA’s hit list. In addition, Turkey was host to a significant number of test positives. As a result, WADA issued the following statement, “As we look forward, the fight for a level playing field is faced with many challenges. An example of a very current challenge is the potential influence of an athlete’s entourage. Increasingly, the global anti-doping community is viewing the athlete entourage (coaches, trainers or athlete support personnel) as one of the main influences for athletes that decide to dope.”

Yawn.

And after a scathing article was written and published in France with respect to WADA’s labs being corrupt, WADA released this statement in full repudiation of the claim:

Accredited anti-doping laboratories do not know the names of the athletes whose samples they analyze. Period. Samples are identified by an anonymized code. Only the anti-doping organization (e.g., the sports federation or national anti-doping agency) that has ordered the test is able to match the name of the athlete with the code from the laboratory. It is inaccurate and irresponsible to state that the laboratories are the sources of athlete information.

Today, WADA has issued a statement in which they are closing the laboratory in Russia, after claiming it was corrupt. Oops.  They have also stated that their investigation has been rather ‘narrow’ in that they have only targeted Russia.  Oops.   “The independent commission wants to make it clear that Russia is not the only country with an ineffective anti-doping programme and that athletics is not the only sport with an ineffective anti- doping programme”.

I suppose the question raised is why then only Russia? When Austria and Germany have radical histories of drug abuse?

Cheating is so commonplace, it is glamourized. Elections are rigged, 140% of voter turnout, in Hollywood sleeping with a Director to get a role is so common as to be blasé, Lance Armstrong cheated for decades, what laboratory was implicated? Tiger Woods cheated on his wife. Obama cheated the country with false promises. FIFA officials have been accused of money laundering, taking bribes, racketeering, and fraud. But no ‘country’ was brought down over the scandal which included reps from the US, Australia, Columbia, Switzerland and Costa Rica. In 1919, the White Sox purposefully threw a game. Harvard students expelled for cheating. Bernie Madoff. Chinese athletes stripped of medals because they were too young – but China wasn’t expelled. In 2005, referees in Germany rigged games.

The list is endless. But in a society now bent on a punitive form of justice, we make everyone pay for the mistake of a few. It begins in elementary school where one student’s bad behavior leads to the entire class being punished.

Moral: “Tricks and treachery are the practice of fools who don’t have brains enough to be honest.”

Ashton Carter – Theoretical Physics Does Not Win Wars

Posted on by Helena

So Ashton Carter is ruffled. His bristles are suddenly directed at Russia and China. Russia because they are showing a better tactical gain in Syria and that makes Obama look bad, and China because Xi Jinping doesn’t give a hoot what Obama thinks about the South China Sea, and that makes Obama look like a weakling.

Who is Carter and where does he hail from? Harvard of course, not unlike a good many of the World Order eminences. What did he do before being Secretary of Defense? He was head of all procurements overseeing over $600 billion per year. WOW! Uh-oh wait,  you mean the guy who lost billions in funds, the guy who allowed billions of waste and mismanagement, the same guy who built fortresses of sand that later melted and returned to dust, the guy who built a $43 million gas station, the exact same guy who was responsible for the corruption and fraudulent waste in our government defense spending? And today, we find that DHS, whose budget is the foreshadow of Ashton Carter has spent a bedazzling $1billion to digitize one document.

Yeh, that guy.

That’s the same guy who is now putting Russia and China on an alert pedestal as being more evil than ISIS. Of course we need to understand that this man has never actually served in the military – ever. He has no military background at all, but he does have a prestigious degree in Theoretical Physics. What is that? Well, it’s a branch of physics in which theorems are used to predict outcomes. So, if I spend $1 billion to digitize a document, the theory would state that I get in trouble, but the mathematical chances of getting caught are …whatever.

Still, his dire warning with respect to Russia and China is in their refusal to voluntarily join in the New World Order. That’s what makes these countries targets.   And he’s so miffed, Carter is going to tell the world they are bad, and we need to make sure every tabloid in the country says so.  In fact, that’s exactly what makes them fearsome, they will not cave.

Where did Carter come from? He previously worked for the Aspen Strategy Group, a subsidiary of the Aspen Institute which is a Soros funded and operated institution. Their stated purpose is to direct what policy makers in DC decide to do…er, that’s code for they tell all the idiots how to vote and what to say because they haven’t a brain to work on their own. In addition, Carter is/was on the board of the Council on Foreign Relations, a liberal membership organization, ‘think tank’, whose distinguished members include Hillary, Bill and Soros. Ta-Da!   Other interesting members include the Carlyle Group, and odd names like Warren Beatty, Priscilla Presley, George Clooney and Katie Couric??? I imagine these are the press arms that report what they are told to report, think like they are told to think, and maneuver like robots when told to act so. A motley crew that like to think they are going to be included in the New World Order to be sure and grovel under the wings of Soros.

Carter also formerly served as a consultant to Goldman Sachs advising them in technology and defense, and served as a consultant for MitreTek Systems, advising them on international affairs… Seems a bit odd to me. Like providing insider information to an investment firm? Let’s not forget this guy is a physics major, non-military, advising on military tactics to a company that makes market selections for clients like – maybe Carter and Clinton? And we wonder why we’re losing against ISIS?

It also speaks to why more and more we find the ideals ingrained in Putin and Xi Jinping quite powerful, not because we necessarily agree with them, but because in their hearts they are nationalists. They believe in their country. They believe in their people. And that belief is a powerful fragrance that seems lost in the US, Canada, UK and most of Europe where leadership is about hob-nobbing, porn, lying, cheating, and throwing your country to the wolves. We can respect integrity.

History: In WWI, the allies included Russia, Britain, France, Italy, US, and most of Europe. The bad guys were Germany and the Ottoman Empire. The country that lost the most lives and suffered the greatest casualties was Russia. France came in second.

In WWII the allies were again Russia, US, UK and China! The bad guys were Germany, Austria, and Italy. The country that lost the most lives was Russia, then China, then Poland! We won these wars because of our allies! And now we demonize those allies and hail great laudings upon our former foes.

It truly is a topsy-turvy world in which we no longer know who is good, who is bad, who we should fear.

And I imagine that is why the propaganda the media blathers hourly is so filled with disinformation even they don’t have a clue what is up and what is down any longer. They operate like marionettes and don’t seem to mind much as long as the promised land is pledged to them…

We are a powerful force when we choose to be. But when led by mutant generals and commanders who lack fundamental ethics and integrity, well, we lose.  The outcomes of Vietnam and Korea would serve as evidence of their blundering intelligence and their allegiance to politics and politicians instead of to man and to country. Their core is rooted in ego, and is rotting in political power dung.

Just saying’…

Afghanistan Money Pit -I Want A Rebate

Posted on by Helena

It just wasn’t enough to spend $1 TRILLION on the Afghanistan war. We have to keep spending to put them back together again –  Humpty.

USAID, which claims they represent aid from the American people… know one asked me for my two cents on this spending spree, boasts that it has spent as follows: $338.2million for Democracy and governance, $344.8million for economic development, $162.5million for education and social services, $1.3million for environment, $81.5 for health, $54.8 for humanitarian assistance, $180.2 for peace and security, and $45.3 for program management.

I want my money back.

For those who are Math majors, that’s $1,153,800,000. That was in 2014 alone. In 2011, $2,229,600,000, in 2012 it was $2,137,500,000 and in 2013 it was $1,026,800,000. Grand total = $65,477,000,000.

But that’s not all.

Two years ago the military gave $486million worth of transport planes to Afghanistan, but they apparently didn’t work very well and were scrapped and sold by the Afghan government. The Pentagon claims to have no idea who bought them or where the money went. Sigh.

There was the $456,000 training facility that melted. Then $300million for police salaries that ‘disappeared’ – as in poof. Let’s not forget the $110 million for drug intervention programs… I’m sure that worked well. There was the $2billion spent to improve the lives of women in Afghanistan… Dr. Phil? And the newest to come to light – the $43million gas station that still is vacant (gas stations across the US for sale average about $150,000).

Who gets some of these very lucrative contracts? Dyncorp gets the majority at over 69%. But Dyncorp is a mess! In 2014 their CEO Gaffney jumped ship without explanation after four years, their replacement, Walsh, made it just three weeks before running out the door, and their next CEO, Bernardt left after a year – also without explanation.  Hmmm, something fishy downstream… Their profits are down, their governance is lackluster, their performance is in legal litigation and yet – we keep giving them contracts. Why?

Their newly appointed CEO as of June 2015 is Lewis Von Thaer who also serves on the Defense Science Board, a group of civilians who advise the US Department of Defense. No conflict of interest there… He is also on the board of the National Defense Industrial Association, an organization that “connects government officials and military officials with industry professionals”. In other words, he assures that the government use industries, like Dyncorp, as their subcontractor. Wonderful, since they are doing such a strappy job!

Dyncorp currently has posted 213 job and career opportunities in Afghanistan. They may be hard to fill since this past August three of their team members were killed in Afghanistan by a car bomb… Despite a long history of foibles and shoddy workmanship, failed contracts, collapsed buildings and sink holes, they continue to reap the rewards of Afghan contracts.

The answer may be in Cerberus Capital Management, a private equity firm whose name references the mythological three headed dog who guarded the gates of Hell. They own or have majority interest in Chrysler, GMAC, Spyglass Entertainment, Bushmaster firearms, Albertsons, kyo-ya, New Page, Georgia Pacific Corp., Bayer Plasma, and on and on with a total asset value of $30billion. Some of the employees at Cerberus include Dan Quayle, former US Secretary of Treasury, John Snow, former Federal Reserve employees, Goldman Sachs, Lehman, Morgan Stanley, and then there is Ronald Kravit, former Managing Director at George Soros Realty Advisors.

Their clout could be why Dyncorp continues to get the contracts despite its absolute poverty of professionalism. The second largest contractor is PAE Government Services. In 2014, their program managers pleaded guilty to defrauding the military in Afghanistan and sentenced to prison.

So far, it would appear that the State Department is not doing a very good job of filtering their awards, oh wait, these were done under the auspices of Hillary Clinton…

How is it going in Afghanistan? Well the Taliban is back in control of many areas, terrorism poses a threat to all neighboring countries, and ISIS may soon join forces. In fact, in the northern sections of Afghanistan the Taliban is stronger ‘than ever before’.  While the US admonishes, don’t worry, be happy…  ISIS has gained control of parts of Afghanistan and continues to grow stronger.  Still, their threat is nothing that we need to worry our pretty little heads about…China…Russia… they’ve killed, well, umm, never mind.

UK – Cameron Says Be Brave When ISIS Arrives

Posted on by Helena

M15 Intelligence has stated that at no time in history has the UK been more at risk for terrorism and possibility for a catastrophic hit. They have thwarted six attempts so far but have shared that it is only a matter of time, they only have to miss one, to suffer and become victim of the horrific consequences. There are multiple cells in the UK, they are planning, they are working towards their aim for jihad, and there will be a day that they succeed.

So what is Cameron doing about that potential, about the biggest threat in history? Well… he’s pledging…and talking…and pledging…and talking about how much help they, the UK, plan to give the US in the fight against ISIS. He keeps telling the Brits to be brave, to carry on, to pretend that there is no threat… That is – until it happens.

In the meantime, Mr. Cameron can be found, well, hip-hopping and hob-nobbing about. He’s been in Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, India, China and Spain. He’s peddling the wares of the UK to generate more revenue. Not a shoddy speculation for the country’s economy, but if it is in rubble after an ISIS attack, no contract is going to save the UK. So what are they doing to destroy ISIS? Why they are the cheerleaders in the stands urging the US football players to take ’em out – rah- rah – rah…

But they aren’t the only bystanders. Where is our beloved Denmark, The Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, Norway, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Holland, Spain, Poland, where ARE THEY? As ISIS continues to infiltrate, they do nothing – “as Rome burned, Nero watched”.

They watch as more and more illegal Muslims flock into their countries in droves. No one can venture who is a terrorist and who is not, but the new numbers indicate that upwards of 80% of the influx of migrants are not even Syrian. Yawn. How astute our media is in their disinformation.

What is Austria doing in the fight against ISIS? They are telling the US to involve Assad. Otherwise, they are doing – nothing. What is Norway doing? Well, as of March, according to the Daily Mail, 50 Norwegian punisher troops are being sent to combat the threat… and to further scare ISIS, they are wearing patches on their uniform that mimic the Marvel cartoon character skull emblem… I don’t think ISIS was scared… especially since, there is no mention of the battalion since.

The fact is, few to nobody is ‘doing’ anything. Europe faces their biggest threat and yet remain unmoving, immobile, apathetic – wondering who will save them. The US continues to drop bombs on targets that oddly don’t seem to include many actual ISIS terrorists, and a year and a half later, there is only a ‘growth factor’.

We see endless photos of NATO commands in full regalia, arms and weapons ladeling their bodies as though they are on the front lines combating this world threat. But no reports of them actually doing anything, just pictures, posed for the media. Not the fault of the troops – by any means – they do what they are told – this is the military way. But we have to have a come-to-Jesus moment and finally ask, “HUH?”

When I have to go to Al Jazeera news to find out what is going on in Colorado – something is very wrong.

And while Putin continues to be demonized, why is it that Russia, Syria and Iran seem to be the only countries who want to defeat ISIS? The media continues to talk about targets being hit, but after 18-24 months and a progress that is in the negative territory, why aren’t we asking more questions? Why aren’t we concerned more? How is it that Cameron can simply placate his people and say such drivel as; be brave, pretend there is no threat?

While I haven’t figured out what the true agenda is, you can be sure there is one. And while myths and conspiracies all have some grounding in fact, it is embellished fact and peeling away the disinformation requires more than perfunctory analysis.

And while ‘a report’ from Germany concluded that one refugee was recently abducted by police after discovering that, gasp, he was actually a terrorist, we can all rest assured that the slate is not clean – there are ‘more than one’. This one does not obliterate the threat even marginally.

So the question remains – why?

Why don’t the governments of the US and the EU care? Why do they sit back and do the barest of minimum to bomb buildings and vacant land that may or could have once housed ISIS while they grow and proliferate? Because, you have to understand they stand united in their cause to do – nothing.

Total number killed by ISIS – estimated at 170,000 or – more

Total number killed by al Qaeda – estimated at 150,000 or more

Total number killed by al Shabaab – no one is keeping a tally

Total number killed by al Nusra – no tally is being kept

Total dead – over 1/3 million and counting… but they aren’t the real threat…. right? Business as usual.

Russia Bombing Hospitals in Syria? Get your propaganda straight…

Posted on by Helena

Russia is bombing multiple hospitals in Syria!!  Wait. How is this known? Who said it? And what is the proof?

First we need a bit of imagery. Most of Syria’s hospitals are empty, long ago destroyed and lost in this heinous vial of destruction. Field Hospitals were staged to treat the wounded, civilians, children, anyone who needed medical care. They are known only through a secretive underground network. They operate in hiding and have rudimentary equipment. Most field hospitals are worked by former medical students risking their lives to help the people. Most of the hospitals operated on the borders of Jordan and Turkey, but many of these were closed down by those respective governments for fear of targeting. The worst cases are sent to hospitals in these neighboring countries. And over the years as the fighting has become incessant, many of the field hospitals were forced to close as they could become an unlucky adjunct within the war campaign.

The doctors describe the horrors while battling tears. The stream of victims is never ending. The death toll is unknown, the injured number is unknown, but we can estimate the numbers into the hundreds of thousands. War is Hell, and each time we seem to fail to learn from our previous experiences and engage – again, and again.

Propaganda is always a part of every war. Theirs and ours. And such is the case in the media claim that Russia is targeting Syrian hospitals. It simply isn’t true.

1)most hospitals shut down years ago. 2) Field Hospitals became the only means within the country to tend to the wounded and sick. And they are hidden, underground units, so targeting isn’t even conceivable.

Medicins Sans Frontieres website has a post dated October 29th in which they claim that a number of hospitals were targeted in Northern Syria, six were forced to close – but one has reopened. What it does not say is what type of hospital, the name of the hospital, or who they say was responsible. Apparently, the media felt it was their duty to fill in these blanks. The only bombings in which blame is specifically asserted is in Yemen where the Saudis targeted and blew up a hospital, and in Afghanistan where the US targeted and blew up a hospital. Otherwise, their website is neutral, blaming – the war.

Curiouser and curiouser said the cat…

So who is responsible for this disinformation: The Daily Beast, The Guardian, CNN, AP, have all jumped on the bashing band wagon, and Newsweek claims that an NGO, Physicians for Human Rights, told them about the strikes. So let’s review the NGO first.

Physicians for Human Rights – an NGO funded and founded by – George Soros. They exposed the use of chemical weapons in Iraq which led to the false war against Iraq by Bush…hmmm, not a good reference for a resume. Their website has an interactive map which displays the various hospital hits through September 2015. Before Russia engaged in the fighting. It delineates by color, the strikes that they have determined came from the government, or ISIS, or Rebels, or unknown assailants. They make no mention of Russia. The six hospitals that the media is screaming about were actually hit in September – before Russia came on board. However, over the past four years, the hits have been devastating and the number hit extremely high!

The Daily Beast – owned and run by former Vanity Fair founder – a tabloid… which merged with Barry Miller a college dropout who became a VP of ABC at 23 doing the ABC movie of the week, is nsot even news worthy. This is tabloid to the nth degree…and deserves as much respect as The National Enquirer…

The Guardian uses their source as Dr. Mohamed Tennari, claiming he is the Director of the Sarmin Hospital, a Radiologist, who at the age of 35 has been practicing medicine for about 7 years. He is also supposedly affiliated with SAMS, Syrian American Medical Society. But the SAMS website lists no such person. Additionally, it is impossible to become a radiologist at the age of 28 unless he began his bachelor degree program at the age of 14…  just sayin’.

His statement of the attack on Sarmin Hospital – I think it was Russian because it was different from all the other times.  Does this sound like proof positive?  Really.   A cluster bomb was used, and a video of the bombing has been uploaded to the internet. Who uses cluster bombs? According to Cluster Munition Coalition, they have been used by the Saudis in Yemen, by the Sudanese in Sudan, by the Libyan government, by the government in Ukraine, by the Syrian government, by the US and UK in the Iraq invasion, Yugoslavia invasion, and Afghanistan war, and by the Israelis and Hezbollah…Hmmm.  Not exactly incriminating evidence against Russia.

And in 2014, Human Rights Watch announced that ISIS was using cluster bombs.

While researching the staff at the Physicians for Human Rights, I came across Elise Baker who is supposedly the forefront commentator of the Syrian conflict. She writes in her blog resume that she wishes Russia would be more demonstrative in issuing a peace process to a conflict that has done nothing but escalate during the US invasion and the rebel invasion of the country. It was written in August 2015. She claims that civilians are called to support ISIS and ISIL as they have no other choice; “Amid the Syrian power vacuum’. She further attacks the US for its airstrikes which only serve to ’embolden’ the ISIS contingent, calling the US airstrikes ‘deadly’.

So who is the enemy? Who is the bomber? Who is targeting whom?

As usual, the media hasn’t done their research. At All.  Propaganda.  It fuels and feeds and creates division and chaos.  Where there is propaganda we can assume that Soros is nearby.

Al Jazeera claims that 595 people have been killed by Russian Airstrikes… According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights – which we already know is a ridiculous front for the UK’s M15. Yawn. According to SAMS, their report documented the killing of 599 medical personnel – PRIOR to January 2015. Oops. Get your facts straight…

And a report issued in July 2015, talks of the Turkish troops who destroyed this same town… with the aid of US airstrikes, after the chemical warfare that razed the town in August 2013 according to Tennari, all of this as reported in a ‘closed meeting with the US’.

In addition, Twitter feeds by our beloved Syrian Observatory in September talk of the Kurdish destruction in Sareen – because it was actually taking place in early September – before Russia arrived…and the city is governed by the Kurds. ARGHHH.

This would indicate that the same ‘field hospital has been razed systematically every few months for the past two years – or more… by rebels, by ISIS, by US airstrikes and by the Syrian government.  Does it even exist?  We don’t really know.

The Director of Operations for the International Committee of the Red Cross – says there is no confirmation of – any hits on any hospitals… and the US State Department made the absurd statement that they had read of some of the allegations on the internet… of ‘a’ Russian aircraft hitting ‘a’ hospital but this was not credibly confirmed…  Yawn.  They want the propaganda to continue because it diffuses their own muck-ups and demonizes Russia…  I thought the war was against ISIS?  The media would have us believe that the war is now Russia against the US – in Syria…  Remember Vietnam?

The bottom line – if we dig into the past, nothing, absolutely nothing corroborates the other. If we try to peel back the layers of fakery and forgery, even pictures are used multiple times – over multiple years to claim a fabricated agenda. It is a mish-mash of drivel at best with four, six, five, ten, twelve, and then one hospital confirmed hit. The latest – one – came from our own State Department which also stated that the ‘one was unconfirmed’ – double talk for rumor.

The point? Did Russia hit a field hospital? Maybe. Maybe not, there is no proof whatsoever. We do know that field hospitals are hidden, underground facilities, that no one knows about, so ‘targeting them’ is an impossibility.

Is war Hell? Yes. Has Syria been the target of a failed coup for over five years? Yes. Yemen? Yes. Turkey? Maybe. Libya? Yes. Ukraine? Yes. Sudan? Yes. Ad nauseum. And in the meantime, ISIS al Qaeda, al Nusra continue to RISE!
