The curious tale of Martin Chulov, journalist or MI6 spook?

Martin Chulov, longstanding Middle East correspondent for The Guardian

According to a Daily Mail report, former Guardian journalist Martin Chulov is under investigation for allegedly sexually assaulting and hitting a woman. The Daily Mail report does now appear to have mysteriously disappeared.

Chulov also faces separate allegations of violence towards another woman and subjecting her to coercive control. After investigation Chulov was apparently cleared as no further action was taken against him.

Chulov has not reported for The Guardian since April. According to the Mail, he was sacked after internal complaints against him were “upheld”. Chulov is denying all charges which include racist slurs against Arabs and Turks. You can read more here.

I did mention that the article at the Daily Mail does appear to have dematerialised. An investigation (February 2018) that I did into Chulov’s work supporting regime change in Syria and the associated terrorist groups that he (and many other establishment media outlets) described as “rebels” - may just provide the answers as to why Chulov appears to be well protected:

So Bill Clinton had no problem going after leaders around the world like the leader of Serbia and having him tried for war crimes. He had no problem in going after and doing a manhunt for the warlord leaders in Somalia.

It's funny leaders in this country. They do crimes.They get off of the crimes and then they're given a golden parachute.

Other leaders around the World are killed.

I believe we need the death penalty for the President of the United States for all members of Congress for all government officials.

We have no problem in killing leaders of other countries of the World or calling for them to be put to death.

So i'm fine with former bill clinton president put the death....

So I don't understand how we can hold other countries leadership to this level and kill them and we don't hold our leadership to the same sword....

The primary purpose of the invasion was to depose the de facto ruler of Panama, General Manuel Noriega, who was wanted by U.S. authorities for racketeering and drug trafficking. The operation, codenamed Operation Just Cause, concluded in late January 1990 with the surrender of Noriega.

So the United States has the most powerful military in the world.It can't be invaded and It's the richest country in the world and the u s dollar is the reserve currency of the world and countries around the world hold 46 trillion dollars in treasuries. I think that's around that much.In every year we sell 27 trillion dollars in treasuries and growing.....

But some reason are leaders.They can get away with literally murder and they get a golden parachute.... Where other leaders around the world we call further execution.....

So I believe we need the implement. The same thing here for our politicians.... For too long, we've been killing leadership around the world and we have been killing them and we've been letting our politicians get away with it.. It needs to end and they need to have the death penalty on the table....

An Illegal Iraq War | 20 Years On! A bloody Delusion: How Iraq War Led To Catastrophic Aftermath In Middle East

The 2003 invasion’s legacy reverberates in the emboldenment of Iran, Islamic State’s violence and the disintegration of Syria

— By Martin Chulov in Baghdad | Friday 17 March, 2020 | The Guardian USA

In Baghdad’s heart of power, Iraq’s prime minister arrives at work each day in a building once used by Tariq Aziz, Saddam Hussein’s close adviser and foreign minister. The ruins of a Saddam-era defence building still teeter next door, 20 years after an American bomb crashed through its roof at the start of the invasion.

Not far away, the green dome of the Republican Palace – built on the orders of King Faisal II, then used by Iraq’s dictator before being occupied by the US army – sits on top of the still-standing totem of Iraq’s history.

All around the area known as the Emerald City, the political hub of the Iraqi capital, more scattered remnants of the past remain: the Ba’ath party headquarters that was a politburo under Saddam and was transformed into the court that condemned him; the decaying grandeur of Agatha Christie’s house on the west bank of the Tigris; the grave of Gertrude Bell, the British archeologist and Arabist, on the other side of the dying river.

On the road to Baghdad’s airport lies a more contemporary tribute to the Iranian general Qassem Suleimani and his associate Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, sculpted from the car they were travelling in when a US missile killed them in January 2020.

Other monuments to Iraq’s grand history had stood for thousands of years but barely survived the biggest shock its people had faced in centuries: the war that toppled its long-term leader, launched 20 years ago next week. The invasion, hatched in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, set in motion a catastrophic civil war, sending millions into exile, and forcing a violent tussle for power and influence that has viscerally changed the region.

Its legacies include the emboldenment of Iran, as well as the Islamic State (IS) marauders who shredded borders and killed and displaced millions, and the disintegration of Syria.

It was not always that way. As a young US marine sergeant dispatched to Kuwait for the invasion, Ken Griffin had been itching to make a positive difference.

“When we began our march to Baghdad, I was 100% certain we were there for the right reasons,” he says. “When you’re a young marine, it’s unfathomable that the government would lie to you. Or send you to war when it didn’t have to. When you’re in that situation and find yourself in battle, you aren’t hindered by the little things like: “Should we be here?” or “Is that just?” – you know in all your heart that it’s the right thing to do.

“When you see columns of Iraqi soldiers gladly surrendering in exchange for food and shelter, it reinforces that belief. When men, women and children are smiling and waving at your column, you know all you need to know.

“Later, when Iraqis attack you under the cover of darkness, you don’t think it might be the same people who were smiling and waving. These are bad actors, evil people. The ones you came to get rid of. The fact that they could be the same people who smiled and waved: that’s a cynical realisation you won’t be ready for until years later.”

Iraqis greeting American forces as liberators, then fighting them as occupiers, became a reality for troops who had helped topple Saddam and then stayed on, ostensibly to help rebuild the country. By late 2003, George W Bush’s belief that Iraq could be transformed into a democracy at the heart of the Middle East was looking ill-conceived. Within three years, it had become a bloody delusion that had killed several thousand US troops, more than 100,000 Iraqis, and caused the country to spiral into an abyss.

Attempts to promote the rule of law and state foundations barely took root; nor did efforts to break patronage systems that siphoned billions of dollars from state coffers into the pockets of the powerful and networks they used to entrench themselves.

Iraq’s politicians, many of whom were members of exiled groups supported by Iran, were not always committed to nation building or Washington’s project to turn the mess of Iraq into something that could pass as a dignified exit. US support for a little-known MP named Nouri al-Maliki to become prime minister in 2006 was an important period in post-Saddam Iraq. However, the decision to support him for a second time four years later, when a rival had secured more votes in an election, was a defining point in the country’s history.

“Maliki was like the sorcerer’s apprentice,” says Simon Collis, a former British ambassador to Iraq and Syria. “He had wanted to whip up a small storm that would drive Shia voters to support him as the strongman who alone could deal with a threat that he had created.

“By the time I arrived in Baghdad in mid-2012, Maliki’s people were systematically dismantling the Sahwa, the moderate local security forces that [US general David] Petraeus had established in [Sunni] Anbar and elsewhere as a bulwark against al-Qaida in Iraq.

“Six months later, Mosul fell to Isis forces as three divisions of the Iraqi army broke and ran. Isis took territory village by village by presenting themselves as the only group who could protect the population from Maliki’s forces and the only group that could protect them from Isis itself, as the central government in Baghdad under Maliki’s leadership could not exert control.”

The IS years were among the darkest in the modern history of the Middle East. Spawned in part from the disaffected Sunnis of Iraq, amplified by the release of Islamist prisoners in Syria to contaminate a civilian uprising, and fed by sectarian leaders in Baghdad who marginalised the country’s Sunnis, the terrorist group was able to lay claim to restoring lost dignities and providing for its people when a government would not.

Through 2014-15, it seized and held a vast swathe of land, establishing a so-called caliphate across part of Iraq and Syria, and directing terrorist acts in neighbouring countries and beyond.

At the height of the IS rampage, several million Syrians left Turkey by boat for Greece, or overland to Bulgaria, with Ankara doing little to stop them, as migration became weaponised as a political tool.

Huge columns of refugees made their way to central Europe, where the support for their plight from the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, drew pushback from the country’s right wing, and fed reactionary ethnic nationalism across the continent.

IS-led terror attacks in 2015-16 in France, Belgium and Germany further fuelled the resurgence of populism and ethnonationalism. “Immigration control was a central theme for Brexiteers, as it was in Poland, France and Italy,” says Rym Momtaz, a consultant research fellow for European foreign policy and security at the International Institute for Strategic Studies.

Donald Trump ran for president on an anti-immigration platform, even banning Muslims from certain countries from entering the US in the early stages of his administration. He showed little interest in addressing the aftermath of the conflict in Iraq, insisting the US withdrawal in 2011 had put a line under Washington’s involvement.

“We have more freedoms than before, but the region has become worse” — Jassem Obeid

With the body politic and political discourse in Europe undergoing challenges from inward-looking nationalism, and Trump determining to shred the legacy of his predecessors, Iraq soon became a quagmire in which the US and its allies no longer remained invested.

Baghdad is flush with new money now, and the walls that divided the city to stem sectarian violence have mostly been taken down. The city feels safe and prosperous. But the state remains weak and prone to outside interests. Many large new hotels and restaurants are citadels of money laundering. The country remains one of the most corrupt in the world, and the rule of law feeble and often randomly applied.

“The positive has been that we got rid of the dictatorship and toppled the old regime,” says Jassem Obeid, a teacher from the shrine city of Karbala. “We can buy cars and have better living standards; we have more freedoms than before. But the region has become worse, especially for Syria and other countries.”

The view from the largely Sunni province of Salaheddin is different. “The law is not strong now,” says Falih al-Obeidi. “It punishes some and spares others. We are weak; we have so many parties. Only one person should govern Iraq.”

Griffin remains troubled by his time in Iraq. “When people would die, even though they were strangers, it affected me deeply. As a young marine I could look people in the eye and say they died fighting for their country.

“At some point I lost that and just saw the deaths as profound wastes of life. One would assume I’m just talking about friends, or Americans, but I grieved for the massive amount of civilians who were often randomly plucked off the Earth – only guilty of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Many of them are just struggling to live their lives or maintain some normalcy by having dinner along the Tigris River or keeping their children in school.”

First, let’s very briefly unpack Tisdall’s opening dossier on the man who ‘most threatens peace’ in the Middle East.

Tisdall claims that Israel, under Netanyahu, assassinated a “top scientist”.

However, the man in question, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, was not just a “scientist”. He was Iran’s leading nuclear weapons scientist and member of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a U.S.-designated terrorist entity that has trained terror groups like Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad, provided shelter to Al-Qaeda and murdered U.S. servicemen and women.

The source for Tisdall’s claim that Netanyahu threatened Iran with war is a Guardian article by their Mid-East correspondent Martin Chulov which said nothing of the sort.  The article (“Israel appears to confirm it carried out cyberattack on Iran nuclear facility”, April 11) merely quoted the Israeli leader thusly:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said later Sunday that “the struggle against Iran and its proxies and the Iranian armament efforts is a huge mission”.

“The situation that exists today will not necessarily be the situation that will exist tomorrow,” he added, without elaborating.

That’s hardly amounts to a threat of war.

Moreover, to accuse Israel of threatening Iran with war is a complete inversion of reality, as it’s the political and military leaders within Iran’s theocratic republic who have repeatedly threatened to annihilate the Jewish state.  There are countless examples of such explicit threats which, in fact, date back to the Islamic Republic’s founding ideology. Just last year, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, called Israel a “cancerous tumor” that needs to be destroyed, a variation of ‘Eliminate Israel’ rhetoric he’s employed repeatedly on social media.

Punta Arenas überblickt die Magellanstraße auf der Ferdinand-Magellan-Route und ist die Heimat der berühmtesten Schiffe in der Geschichte der Schifffahrt Die weitläufige Stadt Punta Arenas, die an der historischen Ferdinand-Magellan-Route liegt, ist nicht leicht zu definieren. Es ist möglich, dass die Stadt selbst über ihre Identität verwirrt ist. Einst eine Strafkolonie, ist es heute teils Raubein, teils moderne Metropole, teils maritimes Freilichtmuseum. Die Lage der Stadt mit Blick auf die raue und unwirtliche Magellanstraße – die wichtigste natürliche Passage zwischen dem Atlantik und dem Pazifik – macht sie für Chiles Seehandel unentbehrlich und bietet Zugang zur antarktischen Halbinsel. Punta Arenas überblickt die Magellanstraße (Bild: © Ekaterina Pokrovsky | Dreamstime) Walfänger, Antarktisforscher und Schafzüchter waren einst das Rückgrat der Stadt, aber heute füllen glitzernde Einkaufszentren und Kasinos die Vororte und die verzinkten Blechdächer werden durch Hotels und Restaurants ersetzt, die der wachsenden kosmopolitischen Bevölkerung dienen. Heute haben Kreuzfahrtpassagiere, Wanderer und Rucksacktouristen auf ihrem Weg nach Feuerland die Walfänger, Seefahrer und Entdecker von einst ersetzt. Ferdinand-Magellan-Route Die Magellanstraße ist nach Ferdinand Magellan benannt, einem portugiesischen Entdecker, der von 1519 bis 1522 die spanische Expedition nach Ostindien organisierte, die zur ersten Weltumrundung führte. Magellan überlebte nicht die gesamte Reise, hinterließ aber ein legendäres Erbe: die Ferdinand-Magellan-Route. Sein Name ist rund um den Globus verstreut und ziert unzählige Statuen, Denkmäler, Gewässer, Inseln, Polarregionen, astronomische Beobachtungen und sogar eine Pinguinrasse. Punta Arenas selbst hieß einst Magallanes. Der Magellan-Pinguin ist nach dem Entdecker benannt Die spanische Expedition segelte 1519 von Sevilla, Spanien, unter dem Kommando von Magellan auf der Suche nach einem Seeweg von Amerika nach Ostasien über den Pazifischen Ozean. Als Magellan aus der stürmischen Passage der Meerenge in den Pazifischen Ozean segelte, nannte er sie Mar Pacifico, was sowohl auf Portugiesisch als auch auf Spanisch „friedliche See“ bedeutet. Fünf Schiffe mit 270 Mann verließen Sevilla unter Magellan, aber die Umrundung wurde von nur einem Schiff, der Nao Victoria, damals unter dem Kommando von Juan Sebastián Elcano und der überlebenden Besatzung von nur 18 Mann, abgeschlossen. Magellan wurde in der Schlacht von Mactan auf den Philippinen getötet. Die Überlebenden kamen 1522 in Spanien an, drei Jahre nachdem sie die sagenumwobene Strecke von 37.560 Meilen (60.440 km) entlang der heutigen Ferdinand-Magellan-Route gesegelt waren. Die Ferdinand-Magellan-Route dauerte drei Jahre von 1519 bis 1522 Museo Nao Victoria Heute ist Punta Arenas mit Denkmälern der epischen Expedition und der Ferdinand-Magellan-Route übersät. Das mit Abstand beste ist das Museo Nao Victoria. Das 2011 eröffnete Museum in Privatbesitz beherbergt eine originalgetreue Nachbildung des ersten Schiffes, das die Umrundung vollendete und die sogenannte Ferdinand-Magellan-Route anführte. Als wohl eines der berühmtesten Schiffe in der Geschichte der Schifffahrt spielte die Nao Victoria zusammen mit ihrer Besatzung und ihrem Kommandanten unter anderem eine Rolle bei der Entdeckung und Benennung von Patagonien, Kap Virgenes, der Magellanstraße, Tierra del Fuego und dem Pazifischen Ozean. Eine originalgetreue Nachbildung der Nao Victoria mit einer Länge von 27 m und einer Breite von 7 m (Bild: © Dmitry Chulov | Dreamstime) Das Museum beherbergt auch das James Caird-Rettungsboot der Endurance, das von Harry McNish adaptiert und während Sir Ernest Shackletons gescheiterter imperialer Transantarktis-Expedition von 1916 von Elephant Island nach Südgeorgien segelte. Die Leistung, die von vielen als die beeindruckendste aller globalen Navigationen angesehen wird, ist in die Geschichte eingegangen und wird in Shackletons persönlichem Bericht South: The Endurance Expedition brillant erzählt.

Das Rettungsboot James Caird der Endurance segelte von Elephant Island nach Südgeorgien Es gibt riesige Sammlungen historischer und antiker Segelinstrumente, Dokumente und Waffen, aber vielleicht wird die krönende Ausstellung die Nachbildung der HMS Beagle sein, die derzeit im Bau ist. Das Schiff der britischen Marine wurde in ein Erkundungsschiff umgebaut und von Kapitän FitzRoy kommandiert. An Bord war der junge Charles Darwin. Auf diesem Schiff begann Darwin mit der Entwicklung seiner Evolutionstheorie und besuchte Patagonien, Feuerland und natürlich die Galápagos-Inseln. Punta Arenas: das Wesentliche Was: Besuch in Punta Arenas, Chile. Wo: Wir übernachteten im einfachen, freundlichen und gemütlichen Hostal Patagonia. Das Hostel liegt zentral und nur wenige Gehminuten von der Bushaltestelle, Geschäften, Restaurants und der Strandpromenade entfernt. Wann: Dieser Teil der Welt ist mit seinem guten Wetter genügsam, also besuchen Sie es nicht im südamerikanischen Winter (Juni bis September). Die beste Reisezeit ist zwischen November und April, aber seien Sie gewarnt: Das Wetter in Patagonien ist das ganze Jahr über launisch und kann sich im Handumdrehen ändern, seien Sie also auf alle Eventualitäten vorbereitet. Wie: Das Museum liegt 7,5 km nördlich von Punta Arenas, an der Route Y-565 nach Rio Seco. Es gibt öffentliche Busse, die regelmäßig von 8:00 bis 20:00 Uhr vom Stadtzentrum von Punta Arenas in Richtung Rio Seca fahren. Sagen Sie dem Fahrer einfach, dass Sie zum Museum fahren. Alternativ sind Taxis eine schnellere und einfachere Option, aber teurer. Punta Arenas ist mit dem Flugzeug gut mit dem Rest von Chile verbunden. Wir empfehlen, mit LAN von Santiago nach Punta Arenas zu fliegen. Tickets bucht man am besten über skyscanner.net. Am Flughafen stehen Minibusse und Taxis zur Verfügung, die Sie in die Stadt oder zu Ihrem Hotel bringen. Von Punta Arenas ist es eine dreistündige Busfahrt nach Norden nach Puerto Natales und zum Nationalpark Torres del Paine. Busse fahren den ganzen Tag über regelmäßig ab und kosten ab etwa 5.000 CLP (5 £/8 $). Es stehen mehrere Busunternehmen zur Auswahl. Wir haben die Busse Fernández und Bus Sur benutzt und können sie empfehlen. Es gibt Busverbindungen zu anderen Teilen Chiles sowie zu Zielen in Argentinien wie Ushuaia und Tierra del Fuego und El Calefate zum Perito-Moreno-Gletscher. Lonely Planet Chile und die Osterinsel enthält einen umfassenden Reiseführer für das Land, ideal für diejenigen, die sowohl die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten erkunden als auch weniger befahrene Straßen wählen möchten.
