Second hour: Investigative reports: American Mercenaries Were Hired To Assassinate Politicians In The Middle East âThere was a targeted assassination program in Yemen. I was running it. We did it.â The company that hired the soldiers and carried out the attack is Spear Operations Group, incorporated in Delaware and founded by Abraham Golan, a charismatic Hungarian Israeli security contractor who lives outside of Pittsburgh. He led the teamâs strike against Mayo. âThere was a targeted assassination program in Yemen,â he told BuzzFeed News. âI was running it. We did it. It was sanctioned by the UAE within the coalition.â The UAE and Saudi Arabia lead an alliance of nine countries in Yemen, fighting what is largely a proxy war against Iran. The US is helping the Saudi-UAE side by providing weapons, intelligence, and other support. The press office of the UAEâs US Embassy, as well as its US public affairs company, Harbour Group, did not respond to multiple phone calls and emails. The revelations that a Middle East monarchy hired Americans to carry out assassinations comes at a moment when the world is focused on the alleged murder of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi Arabia, an autocratic regime that has close ties to both the US and the UAE. (The Saudi Embassy in the US did not respond to a request for comment. Riyadh has denied it killed Khashoggi, though news reports suggest it is considering blaming his death on a botched interrogation.) Golan said that during his companyâs months-long engagement in Yemen, his team was responsible for a number of the warâs high-profile assassinations, though he declined to specify which ones. He argued that the US needs an assassination program similar to the model he deployed. âI just want there to be a debate,â he said. âMaybe Iâm a monster. Maybe I should be in jail. Maybe Iâm a bad guy. But Iâm right.â Bellingcat war propaganda, Facebook Censorship and the Atlantic Council: Yesterday we witnessed one of the greatest Facebook account and page purges since its formation over a decade ago. In total, 559 pages and 251 personal accounts were instantly removed from the platform, for having âconsistently broken our rules against spam and coordinated inauthentic behaviorâ according to Nathaniel Gleicher, Facebookâs Head of Cybersecurity and former White House National Security Council Director of Cybersecurity Policy under Obama. This is but one of similar yet smaller purges that have been unfolding in front of our eyes over the last year, all in the name of fighting âfake newsâ and so called âRussian propagandaâ. What very few people know though, is that about 5 months ago, Facebook announced that is was officially partnering with the Atlantic Council in the form of an âelection partnership [â¦] to prevent [their] service from being abused during elections.â Indeed, the US midterm elections are only a couple of weeks away, so the Atlantic Council and its Digital Forensic Research Lab are now going at it with full force, closing facebook accounts left and right that they personally deem could be fake accounts, or accounts spreading misinformation, based on very shady criterias. One doesnât need to look far to understand who the Atlantic Council are and what they stand for : it is a think tank essentially funded by NATO, weapons manufacturers, Middle-Eastern oil-state monarchies, billionaires and different branches of the US military. In short, it has been described as being nothing less than NATOâs unofficial propaganda wing. The Atlantic Council doesnât shy away from its political intents across the world, which can be seen solely by looking at who sits on its directors board â the crème de la crème when it comes to US neocons & war criminals: Henry Kissinger, Condoleezza Rice, Frank Carlucci, James A. Baker, R. George P. Shultz, James Woolsey, Leon Panetta, Colin Powell, Robert Gates, and many more. Dirty deals for enriched Uranium done with the Nazis in the closing days of WWII â and for Nazi nuclear bomb detonator technology â we hear from author of the book â Nazi International Joseph Farrell on this and the organisations set up by vice President Harry Truman â WWII US president Franklin Roosevelt didnât want to use the atomic weapons against population centres in Japan â then died a premature death. TORY ELECTION FRAUD TRIAL: Tory MP Craig Mackinlay âover-spentâ while standing against Farage, court hears.  Michael Crick C4 News Political Correspondent A Tory MP over-spent more than twice the legal limit during his 2015 general election campaign while trying to stop the then Ukip leader Nigel Farage becoming an MP, a court has heard. South Thanet MP Craig Mackinlay, along with his election agent Nathan Gray and Conservative party official Marion Little, are on trial alleged to have been complicit in submitting false expenditure declarations following Mr Mackinlayâs victory. SEVERAL $500m US F-22 RAPTOR JETS LEFT OUT SMASHED UP BY HURRICANE MICHAEL: THE US Air Forceâs Tyndall Air Base in Florida has taken a direct hit. Many of its ultra-advanced F-22 Raptor stealth fighters have been caught on the ground. Exactly how many of the $475 million aircraft were damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Michael has not yet been revealed. The United States Air Force could only afford to buy 187 operational examples of the 5th generation stealth fighter. Now, that number may have been significantly reduced.
