The National Security Council (NSC) of Malaysia recently said that they have reaffirmed the Joint Commitment with China to further strengthen their Practical Maritime Cooperation.

The Matter was discussed during a Bilateral Dialogue in Langkawi, Malaysia between the two Delegations from both Countries. The Malaysian Delegation was led by the Malaysian NSC Director General Datuk Abidin while the Chinese Delegation was led by their Deputy Foreign Minister Chen Xiaodong.

Note how different the Malaysian NSC is from the Philippine NSC which has been constantly attacking China but silent on Malaysia’s occupation of Sabah. Remember that Malaysia also has Territorial Disputes with China in the South China Sea (SCS).

White House Reveals Evidence of Russia Using North Korean Missiles in Ukraine Conflict; Warns of Potential Iran Deal

The White House Unveils Evidence of Russia Deploying North Korean Missiles in Ukraine Conflict; Warns of Potential Iran Deal In a significant revelation, the White House, through National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, disclosed compelling evidence indicating Russia's utilization of North Korean ballistic missiles in the ongoing conflict with Ukraine. This revelation, made on Thursday, was accompanied by grave warnings regarding Russia's potential acquisition of missile systems from Iran, exacerbating tensions in the already volatile region. Kirby expressed concerns, stating that Russia, facing increased global isolation due to stringent U.S. sanctions and export restrictions, had sought military resources from "like-minded states." "Our information indicates that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea recently supplied Russia with ballistic missile launchers and multiple ballistic missiles," remarked Kirby during the briefing. Detailing the attacks, Kirby confirmed that Russian forces had launched North Korean missiles into Ukraine on both December 30 and January 2, targeting the nation's territories. He underscored the missiles' operational range, estimated to be around 550 miles, and labeled these developments as a "significant and concerning escalation" in North Korea's support for Russia. Kirby further revealed North Korea's quest to procure military aid from Russia, encompassing sophisticated weaponry and advanced technologies, highlighting potential security implications for the Korean Peninsula and the wider Indo-Pacific region. Notably, he cautioned about ongoing negotiations between Russia and Iran for the procurement of close-range ballistic missiles, signaling heightened tensions. In response to these developments, the U.S. administration plans to take decisive actions in collaboration with its allies. These actions include raising concerns at the U.N. Security Council, imposing additional sanctions against facilitators of arms transfers between Russia, North Korea, and Iran, and ensuring transparency by publicly exposing these dealings. Kirby emphasized the urgency for Congress to approve supplemental funding swiftly to provide essential military assistance to Ukraine in countering Russia's aggressive actions. This news update underscores escalating concerns over Russia's use of foreign weaponry in the conflict and the potential ramifications of arms deals with Iran and North Korea, prompting urgent international responses to safeguard regional stability.

President Marcos Jr. Commends National Security Council and NICA for Their Boundless Service

  A Celebration of Dedication to National Security

Recognizing Silent Guardians and Steadfast Vanguards During the joint anniversary celebration of the National Security Council (NSC) and the National Intelligence Coordinating Agency (NICA) at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC), President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. praised their unwavering dedication to safeguarding the country's interests and the security of the Filipino people. He acknowledged their crucial role in ensuring national security for over seven decades, despite often working in the shadows due to the sensitive nature of their jobs.  

Silent Heroes Working for National Safety

President Marcos Jr. lauded the NSC and NICA for their brilliant handiwork, courageous grit, and selfless sacrifice in protecting the nation against various threats. He emphasized that these agencies serve as the silent guardians who shield the country from potential harm, the steadfast vanguards who keep enemies at bay, and the faithful watchers who prevent disorder and chaos.  

A Milestone in National Security

The NSC and the NICA are celebrating their 73rd and 74th Founding Anniversary, respectively, marking significant milestones in their history of safeguarding the Philippines.  

Addressing Pressing National Concerns

In his address, President Marcos Jr. pointed out pressing national concerns, including threats to territorial integrity and sovereignty, terrorism, local communist insurgency, cybersecurity threats, and the dangers posed by climate change. He stressed the importance of the NSC and NICA in dealing with these challenges.  

The Critical Role in Global Development

The President also highlighted the relevance of NICA and NSC in the face of global developments and shifts, as they play a crucial role in ensuring the country remains at the forefront of its national security concerns.   Preparing for the Future President Marcos Jr. called on the agencies to remain steadfast in their commitment to preparing for the tasks ahead and upholding the nation's interest, as the country embarks on a new era where national security intertwines with economic and social transformation.   Unity and Progress The President expressed that the Filipino people continue to rely on the NSC and NICA to lead the country toward unity and collaboration, with everyone working together for the betterment of each Filipino's life.  

The Role of NSC and NICA

The NSC functions as the principal advisory body, taking responsibility for the proper coordination and integration of plans and policies that impact national security. It is comprised of two distinct bodies: the Council Proper and the NSC Secretariat, both established by virtue of Executive Order No. 330 on July 1, 1950.  

The Central Coordinating Agency for National Intelligence

On the other hand, the NICA plays a pivotal role as the central coordinating agency tasked with integrating government activities related to national intelligence. Additionally, it formulates national policies based on intelligence estimates of both local and foreign situations.   Sources: THX News & Philippine Information Agency. Read the full article

White House Accused of Intervening to Keep Bolton’s Book From Becoming Public

White House Accused of Intervening to Keep Bolton’s Book From Becoming Public WASHINGTON — White House aides improperly intervened to falsely assert that a manuscript by the former national security adviser John R. Bolton contained classified information in an attempt to prevent its contents from becoming public, a lawyer for the career official overseeing the book’s prepublication review said in a letter filed in court on Wednesday.At one point, the aides halted a request from Mr. Bolton to review his account of President Trump’s dealings with Ukraine so he could release that section of the memoir during the impeachment trial, according to the lengthy account of the White House review written by Kenneth L. Wainstein, a lawyer for the official, Ellen Knight.Mr. Wainstein said that his client had determined in April that Mr. Bolton’s book, “The Room Where It Happened,” no longer contained any classified information, but the “apolitical process” was then “commandeered by political appointees for a seemingly political purpose” to go after Mr. Trump’s former aide and that the actions she was asked to take were “unprecedented in her experience.”“She had never previously been asked to take the above-described measures, and she has never heard that predecessors in her position ever received such instructions in the course of their prepublication reviews,” the letter said.The filing was an extraordinary twist in the legal saga surrounding Mr. Bolton’s book.

Federal prosecutors gear up for fight with Flynn over his guilt by attempting to use his former lawyers against him

Former US National Security Advisor General Michael Flynn arrives for his sentencing hearing at US District Court in Washington, DC on December 18, 2018. Federal prosecutors want to use Michael Flynn's former defense lawyers against him as they resist his attempts to get out of his guilty plea for lying to the FBI in 2017. The court filing from prosecutors on Sunday could bring a new and consequential twist in the Flynn case, aligning the Justice Department and a major force in DC's legal establishment against President Donald Trump's first national security adviser. The filings even hint that DOJ would be willing to charge Flynn with perjury, or to take Flynn to trial if the judge allowed him to change his plea to not guilty . In his guilty plea deal, Flynn admitted to lying to FBI agents interviewing him in the White House about his late-2016 conversations with the then-Russian ambassador. The episode ultimately led to his departure from the Trump administration, a series of events where special counsel Robert Mueller investigated Trump for obstruction of justice, and Flynn sharing extensive information about the President and his 2016 campaign with Mueller. As his sentencing approaches later this month , Flynn has claimed his former attorneys, from the law firm Covington & Burling, withheld information from him and pressured him into taking a plea deal during the Mueller's investigation. Flynn now claims he is innocent of lying to investigators, a crime to which he pleaded guilty two years ago. Michael Flynn should get up to 6 months in jail for lying to FBI, prosecutors say But the prosecutors, from the DC US Attorney's Office, asked District Judge Emmet Sullivan on Sunday to give Covington permission to counter Flynn's claims, according to a new court filing. If allowed, the defense lawyers could even be called to testify against Flynn in future court proceedings, the prosecutors noted. Flynn's recent moves to unravel his plea "put the representation of his former attorneys directly at issue," prosecutors wrote in a filing Sunday. "To make certain and clear that counsel may take the necessary steps to vindicate their public reputation by addressing and defending against the defendant's claims of ineffective assistance of counsel, and equally to vindicate the integrity of this Court's previous proceedings, the government asks this Court to" allow Covington to discuss its representation of Flynn with the prosecutors, the court and potentially in a public hearing. Prosecutors wrote in a second court filing on Sunday they believe Covington would be willing to share information about Flynn if the judge orders that they can. Previously, following Flynn's accusations against his former attorneys, a spokesman for Covington told CNN, "Under bar rules, we are limited in our ability to respond publicly even to allegations of this nature, absent the client's consent or a court order." Flynn has so far won delays for his sentencing several times by telling new stories to the court. Some have been unproven conspiracy theories that the Justice Department and judge later shot down.

B.A. Hamza, a Professor at the National Defence University in Malaysia recently wrote about how the United States (US) was intentionally trying to downplay the June 2024 Ayungin Shoal Incident between China and the Philippines. Here are some chosen Excerpts from the Article, you can find the Link to the Article below:

"As anticipated, the “Incident” elicited only condemnation from the White House one Day after, giving the impression that both Parties (US and Philippines) were not keen to escalate the Incident. The Cue was provided by the National Security Council spokesman John Kirby. Kirby informed Journalists Monday, “This kind of Behaviour [by China] is Provocative, it’s Reckless, it’s unnecessary, and it could lead to misunderstandings and miscalculations that could lead to something much bigger and much more Violent.” Kirby was silent on the Treaty (meaning the Mutual Defense Treaty between the US and Philippines).”

“Grappling with more important Strategic Issues in the Middle East and Ukraine, opening a third Front against a formidable China, 6000 miles away, will not be wise for the President Biden, Commander in Chief, who stumbled and looked disoriented during the recent Presidential debate with Donald Trump.”

“Given American involvement in Conflicts in the Middle East and Europe, it is unlikely that Washington will fight on another Front. Despite President Biden’s Promise of Iron-clad support to President Marcos, the failure to invoke the 1951 MDT serves as a Reminder to other US Allies – Taiwan, Japan and Australia included – that Defense Treaties in modern times are sometimes not worth the Papers they are written on.”

Mueller and Neocon Unilateralists Escalate Against Trump

The release this week of a National Security Strategy document reveals that neocons within Trump's administration are trying to steer the administration into confrontation with both Russia and China.  The document identifies both nations as pursuing policies directly counter to U.S. interests.  In the introduction, the document claims that "China and Russia challenge American power, influence and interests, attempting to erode American security and prosperity.  They are determined to make economies less free and less fair, to grow their militaries, and to control information and data to repress their societies and expand their influence."

Later, the document asserts that Russia and China "want to shape a world antithetical to U.S. values and interests."  In a passage which is a thinly-veiled attack on the Belt-and-Road Initiative, China is singled out as seeking "to displace the United States in the Indo-Pacific Region, expand the reaches of its state-driven economic model, and reorder the region in its favor," while Russia is accused of seeking "to restore its great power status and establish spheres of influence near its borders."  President Xi's "win-win" approach, embodied in his New Silk Road policy, which would replace geopolitical confrontation with pursuit of common goals, is falsely characterized as a plan to dominate its neighbors economically, with military threats to back it up. 

In commenting on the document, Trump's National Security Advisor General H.R. McMaster explicitly endorsed geopolitics in a speech delivered to the U.K.-based think tank Policy Exchange, stating "Geopolitics are back with a vengeance, after this holiday from history we took in the so-called post-Cold War period."  He identified both Russia and China as strategic adversaries.  It is reported that the document reflects the views of McMaster and two assistants who participated in drafting the paper, Nadia Schadlow, a deputy assistant for National Strategic Strategy, and Dina Powell, deputy National Security Adviser and a Goldman Sachs alumnus. Both Schadlow and Powell served in the administration of George W. Bush.  

Schiller Institute President Helga Zepp LaRouche identified this language as an attempt to return the U.S. to the "neocon geopolitical confrontation" approach of the two previous administrations, and pointed to sharp denunciations by Russian and Chinese officials, which identified the document as an example of "old, outdated thinking."  But Mrs. LaRouche also pointed out Trump, in releasing the document, was less confrontational, as he said he will "attempt to build a great partnership with those [Russia and China] and other countries...."  The document also represents a restatement of Trump's commitment to oppose regime change, stating, "We understand that the American way of life cannot be imposed on others, nor is it the inevitable culmination of progress."  She identified the divergent points of emphasis as indication of an ongoing internal battle, noting that Trump recently had a very successful trip to China and has spoken repeatedly of his "great" personal relationship with China's President Xi, and has had several recent very productive discussions with Putin.

GEOPOLITICS MEANS WAR

It should be noted that the confrontational language in the report echoes comments of former top Obama officials, CIA Director John Brennan and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who were part of the "Get Trump" team from the outset, signing on to the infamous, still-unsubstantiated assessment released by the intelligence community on January 7, 2017, that concluded, "with high confidence", that Russia meddled in the U.S. presidential campaign.  On leaving their posts, both continued to attack Trump as naive for believing he can work with Russia.  On June 7, 2017, in Australia, Clapper claimed [in bizarre language reminiscent of Nazi racial theories about the genetic inferiority of Slavs -- JWS] that it is in Russia's "genes to be opposed, diametrically opposed, to the United States and western democracies."  The two joined forces again on CNN's "State of the Union" on November 12, 2017, to slam Trump and Russia.  Brennan said that Trump is "intimidated" by Putin, and that Russia is "a threat to our democracy."  Clapper chimed in, adding that "Putin is committed to undermining our system," and that Trump, by rejecting that view, "poses a peril to this country."

At the same time the National Security Strategy document was released, Newsweek magazine ran a cover story in its December 21 issue with the headline, "Putin is Preparing for World War III."  The article has the usual Fake News characterization of Putin as a paranoid authoritarian dictator who uses the threat of encirclement and war to cover up for his economic failures.  For example, it states that the Kremlin is mobilizing because "it is convinced war is imminent."  It includes a quote from a former British Ambassador to Russia (naturally, who wishes to be an anonymous source), who said "Russia is engaged in a strange sort of unilateral arms race."

This attempt to scare its readers is not a new tactic by Newsweek.  In August 2016 it reported, "Europeans Are Quietly Preparing for War with Russia."

An even more hysterical fantasy appeared in the German mass tabloid Bild Zeitung on December 20, citing two unnamed NATO officials who charged that the Zapad 2017 military exercise was a rehearsal for a full scale Russian military assault on Europe.  According to this story, the Russians plan to occupy three Baltic states, while attacking by air key infrastructure in Germany, Sweden and Finland, the latter two nations being pushed hard to play a more active role in NATO.  The article says the goal of Russia in launching such an attack is to paralyze NATO, while preventing reinforcements in the East.  This article appears as there is a concerted effort to boost defense spending in Europe, along with the promotion of a European Union "defense union."

MUELLER UNDER SIEGE

The move toward more aggressive war propaganda in the Trans-Atlantic region comes at a point when the Mueller witch hunt is being seriously undermined by exposes of corruption within its ranks.  The revelations of the role of top FBI Counterintelligence official, Peter Strzok, are particularly damaging, as they demonstrate conclusively that Strzok is at the center of a "web of corruption" which includes the highest levels of British intelligence, the Clinton campaign, and the FBI.  The effort to contain the damage by supporters of Mueller, by belittling the evidence of corruption as a "conspiracy theory", fell apart last week, as Congressional Republicans have become emboldened, in questioning leading FBI officials.  What is emerging in ongoing Congressional hearings is a picture that shows that Strzok was brought into the operation begun by James Comey, Clapper and Brennan to smear Trump with allegations that he was in a conspiracy with Putin to become President. Comey's team, with Strzok at its head, was engaged in the smear campaign to prevent Trump from winning the election.

The most damning evidence is a text message sent by Strzok to his mistress, FBI lawyer Lisa Page, which was discovered by the Inspector General of the Department of Justice (DOJ).  In the message, Strzok wrote to Page on August 15, 2016, "I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy's office that there's no way Trump gets elected, but I'm afraid we can't take that risk.  It's like an insurance policy...." Andy's office refers to Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, a close ally of the Clinton political machine, meaning that the FBI hierarchy was directly involved in a scheme to sink Trump's campaign; the "insurance policy" obviously refers to using the Russiagate story, which was just then being developed by Strzok's team, to remove Trump, should he win the election!

It was at this same time that Strzok and other top FBI officials were brought into collaboration with "former" MI6 official Christopher Steele, who produced a dossier alleging that Putin had sexual blackmail material against Trump.  Steele's dossier, produced for Fusion GPS "opposition research" company, was funded by the Clinton campaign, likely with full backing from leading elements of British intelligence, whose GCHQ had begun tracking Trump in the summer of 2015, long before he laid waste to a field of 17 Republican opponents.  Despite more than a year of attempts to corroborate Steele's allegations, McCabe admitted, in part through not answering questions in a Congressional hearing, that they have not been able to do it!

There are many other pieces to this story, including that of Strzok's role in exonerating Clinton for her use of a private server, his role in the set-up which led to Michael Flynn's plea to a single count of "lying to the FBI", and top DOJ official Bruce Ohr's meeting(s) with Steele, while his wife was employed by Fusion GPS.  These are coming out due to the work of Republican Congressmen, with more hearings to come.  A sample of some of the responses from Congressional investigators to these revelations gives a flavor of how things are turning against Mueller's prosecutorial thuggery and the FBI's systemic corruption.

On December 18, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) responded to the Strzok revelations by saying the anti-Trump messages sent back-and-forth with his mistress show an "unprecedented" level of bias.  "It is devastating" that they spoke of developing an "`insurance policy` in case Donald Trump won.  What I hope is that insurance policy was not a counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign.  This was a level of bias that you rarely see."

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), chair of the House Intelligence Committee, followed his committee hearings by asking, "I hate to use the word corrupt, but they've become at least so dirty that who's watching the watchmen?  Who's investigating these people?  There is no one." 

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), who has been demanding subpoenas be issued so that all those involved can be interrogated, is especially focused on the Steele dossier, and whether it was used to obtain warrants from the secret FISA Court to conduct surveillance on the Trump campaign.  In reviewing the role of Strzok and Ohr, he said, "Everything points to the fact that there was an orchestrated plan to try to prevent Donald Trump from becoming the President of the United States."

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who recently spoke directly to Trump about what has been turned up involving "conflicts of interest" and "outright corruption", said "...it's time for Bob Mueller to put up or shut up.  If there's evidence of collusion, let's see it."  He said, in reference to the meeting in "Andy's room", that it is disgusting that a "bunch of bureaucrats can sit around and scheme about how to deprive the American people of their duly elected President."

ILLEGAL SEIZURE OF TRANSITION EMAILS

One other element of Mueller's prosecutorial fraud came to light last week, which was his team's seizure of tens of thousands of emails from Trump's transition team, despite the legal ruling by the General Counsel for the General Services Administration (GSA), Richard Beckler, that these were private, and should remain in the hands of the GSA.  When Beckler was hospitalized, Mueller's operatives seized the records, without receiving a court-approved subpoena.  Shortly after his hospitalization, Beckler passed away.

The seizure of these documents was the subject of a biting op ed by constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley in The Hill on December 18.  Turley, who is no fan of Trump, nevertheless correctly identified Mueller's action as "legally unprecedented and strategically reckless," warning that the use of "tainted" evidence could lead to the overturning of any conviction that Mueller might get.  Turley described this as an abuse of law, following in the footsteps of the notorious former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, writing that "Hoover's attitude toward the use of federal power lingers [within the FBI] like a dormant virus.  Too often investigators interpret uncertain legal questions as a license for action."  Turley specifically identified Mueller's lead prosecutor Andrew Weissman as one whose record includes "major reversals in past prosecutions for exceeding the scope of the criminal code or questionable ethical conduct."

Turley's comments, along with those of Fox News legal commentator Jeanine Pirro, represent a sharp break into the open in major media, reflecting the turn against Mueller's operations.  Pirro  called Mueller's team a "criminal cabal", which should be taken out in "cuffs" (handcuffs).  They are acting as a "core group of arrogant, corrupt and lawless individuals that felt that they, and not we, should decide a presidential election."

As these quotes from Congressman and legal experts show, there is now finally a willingness to break through the cover-up and get at the truth about Russiagate, that it has been a story concocted, from the beginning, with no evidence, to either contain Trump, or get rid of him, in defense of an old crumbling order, and that the real "meddling" in the election by a foreign country came from Britain, in coordination with the Clinton campaign and the FBI.  But that is not enough.  It is now time that the deeper issue behind Russiagate is exposed, and that issue is the unwillingness of the promoters of the neocon unilateral world order to give up their power.  The endless wars, and endless bailouts they have imposed are necessary for them keep the world embroiled in deadly, useless geopolitical conflicts, which inflict misery on the majority of the world's people, while allowing them to loot with impunity. 

Donald Trump's election victory showed that the American people were tired of this immoral, bankrupt order.  Now citizens must mobilize to shut down Russiagate, to free Trump to bring the United States into the New Paradigm of cooperation and development initiated by President Xi Jinping of China, with full support from Russia's President Putin.  The era of geopolitics must be put to an end, if the annihilation of mankind is to be prevented.  Shutting down the Mueller investigation, and jailing the corrupt officials behind it, would be a good first step in that direction.  Toward that end, LaRouchePAC activists delivered this week, to every U.S. Senate office and to many committee staffers, the report which first exposed Russiagate as a fraud, "Robert Mueller is an Immoral Legal Assassin."  As Lyndon LaRouche commented, "the gate has been opened" -- it is now the time to move!
