Sharon Weinberger, State Dept. Stooge: Hating Russia is an official stamp...
https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2015/05/28/u-s-cyber-firm-alleges-hacked-emails-reveal-russian-front-operation/
So, I’ve been reading around a bit, as we all should do, to see where Sharon Weinberger is ‘coming from’. I recommend, as it might complement your perspective of The Intercept.
The bio page on the TI website mentions her history at Wired magazine, her writing at Slate, her contributions to the BBC, ‘Nature’ journal and her work on a history of DARPA. Quite groovy for a defense tech writer.
However, it doesn’t mention that she has come to The Intercept having been flung out centrifugally from the revolving door between the State Dept Foreign Service; a defense industry corporation who work under the DARPA umbrella called System Planning Corporation; writing and editing warmongerer’s wank mags like Defense Daily and Defense Technology International; and a dominant pro-military ‘think tank’ The Center for Strategic and International Studies. [This last one is interesting for anyone who has followed Dov Zakheim in his contribution to the PNAC document ‘Rebuilding America’s Defenses’ and his role as comptroller for Bush junior at the Pentagon (2.3 trillion missing?). Weinberger co-wrote a paper with Zakheim titled ‘Fortress Europe’ (2000) that suggests in its conclusions (amongst other things) the push for closer relationship between the EU and NATO – the like of which we see today supporting a neo-fascist regime in Ukraine.]
I guess there is no evidence in any of that to prove that Sharon Weinberger is compromised in her reporting here, but I think that it is good to know someone’s bio when they write pieces like this , and for a publication (TI) with statements like the following in their ‘about’ section:

Any military preparedness drill based upon an alleged threat from “terrorists” is a fraud because there is no terrorist threat, foreign or domestic, to the United States. The “terrorists” are created and funded by our own government and its allies. 9/11 was an inside job, as was Oklahoma City; the Boston Marathon “bombing” by “Chechen terrorists” was a hoax, as was the Sandy Hook shooting. Our own government -- and the international corporate elite that controls it -- is the real enemy.
The only threat to our southern border is the continued mass immigration of Mexicans, and they are being invited into the United States by the government as part of the plan -- in the works for decades -- to form a union between Mexico and the United States.
On a deeper level, we must ask ourselves this: Why is formal martial law even necessary? We already live in a police state, the United States military continues to have a steady supply of directionless and desperate adolescents anxious to join the team and become cannon fodder, mass immigration and the union with Mexico is proceeding on schedule, and everything presented to us by the corporate media is scripted.
While more and more of us are awakening to the disturbing reality of events, the vast majority of Americans are dumbed-down and drugged-up, sickly and stupid; “soft-kill” is working. Most Americans are unwilling to acknowledge or even consider that they are nothing more than slaves on a vast tax plantation, and many of those who are awakened still see things according to the diversionary Democrat-Republican, Liberal–Conservative paradigm fed to them by their masters. The reality is that this country is exactly where the international corporate elite want it to be.
Perhaps Jade Helm is just a variation of the “Watch out, there’s going to be another 9/11!!!” psy-op that occurs every year and peaks in September -- as Jade Helm is scheduled to do. Author Lenon Honor, in his book The 911 Fear-Based Mind Control Program, details how such fear-based programming is intended to produce a state of perpetual anxiety and powerlessness to keep us traumatized, passive, and compliant.
The people at the top are masters of propaganda, masters of manipulation. They know that the easiest slaves to control are those who are not aware that they are slaves. That strategy has worked for them in the past, and continues to work for them today.If there is any purpose to Jade Helm other than as a psy-op, it will be to prepare one or more false-flag or hoax attacks to keep us on edge and encourage us to embrace even more regulation, centralization, and self-harm -- perhaps a hoax “biological attack” that will have us begging for mandatory vaccinations. . .
As for John Stewart (real name: Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz), he is a well-connected gatekeeper -- his brother, Larry Liebowitz, was the managing director of UBS and later the Chief Operating Officer of the New York Stock Exchange.
John Stewart’s job is to A) promote harmless, generic criticism that does not threaten the control of the corporate elite; B) ridicule those who question the official narrative of events; C) ridicule those who question the validity of the system underlying those events; and D) ridicule those who suggest that the international corporate elite controls things behind the scenes.
