Media Interviews

Webster Tarpley joins Andrew Leung in London and host Peter Lavelle in Moscow to evaluate the role of the Dalai Lama and the current and future trends of the US-China bilateral relationship.

Last Thursday’s Washington Post revealed a de facto cartel between Google and the US National Security Agency for the obvious purpose of waging cyber-warfare against China. Will the NSA now read the email of Google users, and monitor their searches? The article makes clear that Silicon Valley companies have been turning to the NSA for most of the past decade. Despite widespread impressions to the contrary, Google has always been intimately linked to the US intelligence community, going back to the role of In-Q-Tel, the CIA proprietary which helped with Google’s takeover of the CIA’s Operation Keyhole, which became Google Earth. Perhaps these new leaks simply confirm what had in fact been the case for a long time – Google and the NSA are joined at the hip. And now their target is China — a campaign of incalculable folly. Lauren Lister of Russia Today interviews Tarpley.

Tarpley tells Dina Gusovsky of RT that the clash between the United States and China over Google goes far beyond the internet, and represents a geopolitical conflict of the first magnitude between great powers. At stake are the stability and sovereignty of China, which the US is determined to undermine using what Beijing views as cyber-imperialism. The news is that the People’s Daily is exposing the US assault on Iran by way of Twitter, which clearly aims at a color revolution. These are ominous developments for the entire world. American voters throught they were casting their ballots for an end to the discredited Bush-Cheney-neocon policy of regime change in Iran and even China. If Obama loads his State of the Union with more anti-Chinese rhetoric, he will alienate his base even more.

In an interview with Russia Today, Webster Tarpley analyzes Hillary Clinton’s hypocritical Jan. 21 “internet freedom” speech at the Newseum, suggesting that the US may be attempting to foment a color revolution in China on the model of similar events in Ukraine and Georgia in the past decade. The US foreign policy elite now appears determined to interfere massively in Chinese internal affairs, and a robust Chinese riposte is certain. None of this has any relation to the economic needs of the American people. This speech may be seen in retrospect as the opening salvo of a new Cold War of very ominous portent between the United States and China.

In an interview with Cedric Moon of Russia Today, Webster Tarpley discusses reports in the Washington Post that the FBI violated not just traditional due process, but even the Bush-Cheney Patriot Act, by illegally snooping into 2,000 sets of telephone records.

Webster Tarpley speaks to Russia Today about US Special Forces conducting secret raids inside Pakistan’s border regions. These raids are intended to turn the Pashtunistan population and the Balochistan population against the government in Islamabad.

Tarpley tells RT that the case of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab is not a matter of unconnected dots, but rather that of a protected patsy or puppet deliberately used by the US intelligence community for a Christmas Day provocation designed to facilitate US meddling in the civil war in Yemen, which is where Umar Farouk allegedly trained and was given his PETN device. Banker’s son Umar Farouk had been denied an entrance visa to Great Britain , and had been denounced to the US Embassy in Lagos, Nigeria as a possible terrorist by his own father in mid-November. His one-way ticket to Detroit was bought in Ghana for cash, and he reportedly entered Nigeria illegally. In Amsterdam , he was assisted at the Northwest Airlines gate by a “well-dressed Indian” who explained that Umar Farouk had no passport. He did have PETN, the same substance supposedly used by the mentally impaired shoe bomber Richard Reid in his abortive attack of eight years ago. In spite of all this, Umar Farouk’s US entry visa was never revoked, he never made it onto the no-fly list, and he was never thoroughly searched. These egregious lapses in normal procedure show that Umar Farouk was part of an orchestration sponsored by the CIA, which has now yielded 4 solid days of media hysteria. Obama has formulated his new version of the Axis of Evil, composed of Afghanistan-Pakistan , Somalia , and Yemen . In Yemen , a civil war pits the Saudi-backed central government against the Iranian-backed Shiite Houthi rebels, whom the US has bombed at least twice this month. The goal here is to play Iran against Saudi Arabia so as to weaken both the pro-Moscow Achmadinejad government in Iran , and also those Saudi forces that are fed up with their status as a US protectorate. The US is openly now sponsoring a regroupment of “al Qaeda” (the CIA Moslem legion) in Yemen , including by sending fighters direct from Guantanamo . The new CIA-promoted entity synthetic entity is “Al Qaeda on the Arabian Peninsula or AQAP, a gaggle of US patsies, dupes, and fanatics which is claiming credit for the Umar Farouk incident. The US hopes to further dominate the exit from the Red Sea and the Suez Canal, while also easing pressure on the battered US dollar by jacking up the price of oil in an atmosphere of tension on the Arabian peninsula. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is now Totalitariano to the left, and Incompetano to the right. Rather than harassing travelers, she should resign or be fired along with the other corrupt, bungling, or complicit officials of the Obama administration involved in this false flag provocation.

Tarpley is interviewed by Lauren Lyster of Russia Today on the admission by a committee of the Lithuanian parliament that this country accepted secret CIA prisons, the so-called black sites. This is the first official confession by any country which had collaborated with the CIA in “global war on terror” operations including kidnapping, torture, and other crimes. Poland and Romania are also known to have set up similar secret jails, but they have denied their involvement. The Lithuanian foreign ministry and former elected officials are still attempting to deny what the Lithuanian parliament has now openly admitted. Former President Paksas claims that he was impeached and ousted in 2004 because he opposed the black sites. This would have amounted to a NATO coup d’etat.
