BEHIND THE SCENES

I am not at the scene much less behind the scenes currently. Some concerned listeners have called Buzz so he wants me to come on Monday night at midnight again for a couple of minutes to reassure people that Diane and I are fine, in good health, enjoying our 'sheltered' existence in our apartment; seeing nobody and going nowhere since we are both in the age 'danger zone' of the Corona Virus. We are both in good health and after a month have no signs of illness. Also I am reinforced in my recognition of the importance of good radio for the post midnight crowd.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT, APRIL 25









12-1 Dave Emory, "For the Record #1110 - Miscellaneous Articles and Updates"



As the title indicates, this program presents a potpourri of articles covering a number of topics.



A common thread uniting them is the ongoing New Cold War and elements factoring in the impeachment proceedings underway in Washington.



Reputed evidence of a new “hack” allegedly done by the G.R.U. doesn’t pass the sniffs test.



Factors to be weighed in connection with the latest “hack” of the Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma (on whose board Hunter Biden sits–a fact that had been a focal point of the impeachment proceedings):



1.–Blake Darche, co-founder and Chief Security officer of Area 1, the firm that “detected” the latest “hack” has a strong past association with CrowdStrike, the firm that helped launch the New Cold War propaganda blitz about supposed Russian hacks. Darche was a Principal Consultant at CrowdStrike.

2.–CrowdStrike, in turn, has strong links to the Atlantic Council, one of the think tanks that is part and parcel to the Intermarium Continuity discussed in FTR #‘s 1098, 1099, 1100, 1101. Dmitri Alperovitch, the company’s co-founder and Chief Technology Officer is a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council.

3.–An ironic element of the “analysis” of the hacks attributes the acts to “Fancy Bear” and the G.R.U., based on alleged laziness on the part of the alleged perpetrators of the phishing attack. (Phishing attacks are very easy for a skilled actor to carry out in relative anonymity.) Area 1’s conclusion is based on “pattern recognition,” which is the embodiment of laziness. We are to believe that the G.R.U./Fancy Bear alleged perp used a “cookie cutter” approach.



As we have noted in many previous broadcasts and posts, cyber attacks are easily disguised. Perpetrating a “cyber false flag” operation is disturbingly easy to do. In a world where the verifiably false and physically impossible “controlled demolition”/Truther nonsense has gained traction, cyber false flag ops are all the more threatening and sinister.



Now, we learn that the CIA’s hacking tools are specifically crafted to mask CIA authorship of the attacks. Most significantly, for our purposes, is the fact that the Agency’s hacking tools are engineered in such a way as to permit the authors of the event to represent themselves as Russian.



” . . . . These tools could make it more difficult for anti-virus companies and forensic investigators to attribute hacks to the CIA. Could this call the source of previous hacks into question? It appears that yes, this might be used to disguise the CIA’s own hacks to appear as if they were Russian, Chinese, or from specific other countries. . . . This might allow a malware creator to not only look like they were speaking in Russian or Chinese, rather than in English, but to also look like they tried to hide that they were not speaking English . . . .”



This is of paramount significance in evaluating the increasingly neo-McCarthyite New Cold War propaganda about “Russian interference” in the U.S. election, and Russian authorship of the high-profile hacks.



With Burisma at the center of the impeachment proceedings in Washington, we note some interesting relationships involving Burisma and its board of directors, on which Hunter Biden sits. ...

1-2 Nader Hashemi, “Pandemics, Democracies & Dictatorships”



Program #HASN003. Recorded in Highlands Ranch, CO on April 2, 2020.



Today, fear stalks the globe. The grim reaper is taking a heavy toll. The coronavirus pandemic has led to many thousands of deaths and tremendous economic dislocation. In this climate of fear, authoritarian regimes from Saudi Arabia to Hungary, from Russia to Turkey, from Iran to the Philippines use the crisis as a pretext to curtail civil liberties, expand police power and surveillance, silence their opponents, settle old scores, muzzle the press and jail dissidents. The pattern repeats in different shapes and forms among tyrants and would-be tyrants. Indian prime minister Modi has thrown journalists critical of his rule in jail. Kashmir remains under military control. In Washington, the U.S. president has declared “ultimate authority. I call the shots.” How can people in democratic societies effectively respond to the current crisis?




Nader Hashemi is Director of the Center for Middle East Studies and teaches Middle East and Islamic politics at the Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver. He is the author of ‘Islam, Secularism and Liberal Democracy’ and co-editor of ‘The People Reloaded, The Syria Dilemma and Sectarianization: Mapping the New Politics of the Middle East.’

2-3:30 Haymarket Special # 2: Haymarket books Coronavirus and Capitalism

from 31 March 2020:



"Capitalism Is The Disease: Mike Davis on the Coronavirus Crisis"

An online teach-in with Mike Davis, introduced by Andy Hsiao of Verso Books



Please join an online teach-in with renowned activist-scholar Mike Davis, author of numerous books, including 'The Monster at Our Door,' 'In Praise of Barbarians,' and the forthcoming 'Set the Night on Fire.'

Sponsored by Haymarket Books and Verso Books



Fifteen years ago, in his prescient book, 'The Monster At Our Door,' Mike Davis warned that a viral catastrophe was being cooked up in the toxic vat built by the combined dangers of global capitalist production, ecological devastation, and the intentional, politically motivated neglect of public services the world over. As coronavirus continues to spread, largely unabated, we are witnessing both profound acts of solidarity among working people, and the grotesque depths to which the ruling class is willing to sink for the sake of maintaining their profits. And these are only the early days of what will likely become a medical Katrina.



The pandemic has shown that capitalist globalization is biologically unsustainable in the absence of a truly international public health infrastructure, and we can say for sure that such an infrastructure will never exist until peoples’ movements break the power of Big Pharma and for-profit health care. Doing so will demand an independent socialist design for human survival well beyond even a Second New Deal.



In this virtual teach-in, Mike Davis will offer his appraisal of the crisis so far, discuss the urgent need for international solidarity to end this (and future) pandemics, and take questions from our digital audience.
