Para a História: Os EUA na luta para impedir o controlo comunista de Portugal

  

abril 26, 2021

Melo Antunes manteve canais privados de contacto com Washington e discutiu ajuda militar

Documentos revelam programas clandestinos de apoio a forças anti-comunistas na instablidade após o golpe de Estado de 25 de Abril de 1974.

Os Estados Unidos prepararam um programa de apoio militar clandestino a sectores anti-comunistas do exército e outras forças em Portugal quando este país se encontrava à beira da guerra civil em 1975, na sequência do golpe de Estado de 25 de Abril de 1974, revelam documentos agora tornados públicos pelo Departamento de Estado americano.

Transcrições de reuniões, memorandos e propostas de acção ao mais alto nível do Governo americano tornam claro que o major Melo Antunes, um dos dirigentes da facção moderada das Forças Armadas portuguesas conhecida então por “Grupo dos Nove”, estava ciente do plano, tendo estabelecido um canal de comunicação “privado” com os Estados Unidos pouco antes de 25 de Novembro de 1975, data em que acções armadas eliminaram forças radicais de esquerda ou ligadas ao Partido Comunista.

Um documento indica que ajuda poderá ter sido fornecida através do ministério do interior português. Contudo, não há qualquer indicação que ajuda militar americana tenha sido canalizada para forças anti-comunistas, embora existisse um plano para tal com apoio da Inglaterra e possívelmente França.

O plano de apoio militar é apenas um dos aspectos de um programa de acção, que envolveu apoios directos ou clandestinos por terceiros a partidos políticos, dirigentes sindicais e jornais, muitas vezes através de paises europeus como a Suécia, França e Alemanha, programa esse considerado de grande importância para quebrar o controlo que o Partido Comunista exercia sobre os sindicatos e meios de informação.

Alguns dos nomes que receberam essas ajudas e quantias gastas continuam razurados nos documentos agora tornados públicos.

Um documento sem data do então assistente do presidente Gerald Ford para questões de segurança Brent Scowcroft tem ainda razuradas todas as menções às quantias gastas em programas clandestinos destinados “a apoiar moderados e resistir aos comunistas” e em que se faz uma referência a quantias entregues para “operações laborais”

Os documentos revelam também intensos debates internos sobre os partidos políticos portugueses e conhecidas personalidades politicas e militares portuguesas de então, como o dirigente do Partido Socialista e futuro presidente Mário Soares - relutante em envolver-se com os Estados Unidos e descrito como “desorganizado”– e o General António de Spínola o primeiro presidente após o golpe de estado de 25 de Abril de 1974 e que é tido como inepto e sem futuro pelos dirigentes americanos após fugir do país na sequência de uma tentativa de golpe de direita a 11 de Março de 1975.

As atas de reuniões revelam também uma posição moderadora do embaixador americano Frank Carlucci que se mostra particularmente bem informado sobre a situação em Portugal e que tenta corrigir várias vezes as opiniões do secretário de Estado e conselheiro Nacional de Segurança Henry Kissinger, frustrado com a relutância de países europeus em serem mais agressivos com as autoridades portuguesas e que nutre uma antipatia para com Mário Soares que viria a ter um papel preponderante na consolidação da democracia em Portugal

Os Comboios de Alta Velocidade da China


Por Larry Romanoff, December 05, 2019


Traduzido em exclusivo para PRVADA PT 


 

 

Uma das grandes vantagens de viajar de comboio em comparação com voar é a poupança de tempo desaproveitado. Na maioria dos países, um voo envolve normalmente uma viagem de uma hora até ao aeroporto com a exigência de chegar pelo menos 1,5 horas antes da partida. À chegada, há sempre a queixa de uma longa espera, a longa caminhada até aos locais de entrega da bagagem ou às saídas, depois a viagem de uma hora ou mais, até ao centro da cidade.

Quando tomamos em consideração o trajecto e o tempo necessário que antecede a partida para o check-in e a autorização de segurança e a caminhada de 2 km até à porta de embarque, depois os atrasos após a chegada e o trajecto para o centro da cidade do nosso destino, os comboios são equivalentes a voar em viagens até 1.200 ou mesmo 1.500 Kms, e muito mais rápidos do que voar viagens mais curtas. Não só são muito mais rápidos, mas também menos dispendiosos do que as viagens aéreas. A frequência das partidas - pelo menos entre as cidades principais da China - é espantosa, a rota Shanghai-Pequim com cerca de 75 ou 80 comboios de Alta Velocidade de ida e volta, todos os dias, partindo frequentemente com um intervalo de 10 minutos de distância.

 

Na China, as estações ferroviárias estão situadas no centro da cidade, pelo que a deslocação é mínima, ao chegar a uma estação com a bagagem de mão apenas a 20 ou 30 minutos antes da partida. Não há processo de "check-in" como nas companhias aéreas, apenas o habitual controlo de segurança e scanners de bagagem ao entrar na estação onde se pode passar o tempo em salas de espera confortáveis, ou simplesmente encontrar a plataforma correcta e embarcar no comboio. Apesar de muitas estações serem enormes, as distâncias a pé são normalmente muito mais curtas do que na maioria dos aeroportos.

UK's Delta rollercoaster flips between virus horror, hope

UK's Delta rollercoaster flips between virus horror, hope

OTTAWA / ADDIS ABABA / BUENOS AIRES / SANTIAGO / HAVANA / KINSHASA / RABAT / JOHANNESBURG / DAR ES SALAAM / KAMPALA / LONDON - Two weeks ago, the Delta variant was ripping through the UK, stoking fears of a record wave of COVID-19 clobbering one of the world’s most highly vaccinated countries.

Then, almost overnight, daily cases plummeted, renewing hope that the pandemic’s end - at least in some parts of the world - is within sight.

Now, with the US and much of the world grappling with Delta’s fury, people are looking to the UK for answers about how their respective outbreaks might unfold. But there’s no single answer, as mutations and varied vaccination coverage create conditions for swings in virus rates. While experts agree on some factors in the UK story, they’re also struggling to make sense of what’s truly accounted for the sudden reversal and whether it’s really time to relax.

“This is a remarkably rapid decline and one that few anticipated,” said Martin McKee, professor of European Public Health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, who’s scrutinizing everything from the possibility that young people are skipping COVID-19 tests to older people renewing their commitments to social distancing to the virus running up against a wall of immunity in the country. “Overall, it is a bit of a mystery.”

New daily cases in the UK reached almost 55,000 on July 17, before dropping back below 25,000 earlier this week. The situation shifts day to day, but the weekly trend certainly looks promising.

The World’s Safest Cities


By Larry Romanoff, December 02, 2019

 


00


There are occasions where the Americans want to publish a list that demonstrates their innate moral superiority over the rest of the world, but they hesitate because the lies are too large even for them and would expose them to unlimited ridicule.

In such instances, they have a friend do their work for them, depending on a highly-regarded third-party reference in an attempt to make the hypocrisy more palatable. On this occasion, they enlisted the services of the Economist Magazine’s so-called “Intelligence Unit” to produce a list of the world’s safest cities. The results should surprise even you, with places like Chicago, Washington, New York and Los Angeles placing right up there near the top. (1)

 

The methodology was innovative to say the least. To most of us a safe city is one where we are safe; that means personal safety, with little or no likelihood of experiencing the normal events of daily life in America which would include being mugged, killed, raped, stabbed, framed by the FBI, or shot dead by the police.

 

But American cities cannot compete on these metrics so, with the help of their friends in the UK, designed new metrics in four categories, namely digital security, health security, infrastructure safety, and personal safety, each allotted 25% of the total ranking. So now getting shot by the police in New York or stabbed by one of the 400,000 muggers in Chicago or Washington assumes equal importance with losing your credit card or tripping on the sidewalk. Let’s take a quick look.

 


Digital security related to a city’s “cyber security teams”, whatever that means, probably the extent to which the NSA is recording everything you say, and, interestingly, the “frequency of identity theft”. By the way, did you know that London has one CCTV camera for every six citizens, and that the US is quickly heading in the same direction? Health Security was based upon things like the number of hospital beds, a nation’s life expectancy, and the incidence of cancers. Then we had Infrastructure Safety, based on things like the quality of its roads, bridges and dams, and the “number of deaths from natural disasters”. And lastly, we had Personal Safety, based on some kinds of reported crimes.

What is the Difference between Capitalism and Socialism?

By Larry Romanoff, October 18, 2019





Some aspects of the American style of competition become more clear when placed in a broader context, in this case the underlying socio-economic system, so let’s take a quick look at the difference between capitalism and socialism. For at least the past 100 years Americans have been taught to hate and fear socialism and socialist governments, without ever understanding what they were really against or why they were against it.

The situation is not different today, where any mention of socialism produces a flood of moral condemnation, yet few Americans could likely provide any coherent explanation of socialism or an intelligent discussion of its many presumed failings. Americans equate socialism with despots and tyranny, with fear and hunger in a brutal military dictatorship, a testimony to the power of propaganda and ignorance. US corporations were in the vanguard of this propaganda onslaught, but it was heavily supported by the government and media and, certainly not least, by the educational book publishers and America’s schools and universities.

 

For a century, US corporations, government agencies, and the media, filled the minds and hearts of Americans with fear of socialism and, having stoked that fear, defined for them the signs of socialism to be avoided at all costs. These signs included the government fulfilling its responsibilities in areas like health care, social security and education and providing national needs like electricity, transportation and communications, all presented to the people as “giving up your life and letting the government run it for you”. Government involvement in any segment of society or industry where big business and the elites could make a profit was defined as either socialism or communism and therefore treasonous to the basic religion of multi-party political Christianity.

Science in and politics out: Unsolved myths around COVID-19 origins

Science in and politics out: Unsolved myths around COVID-19 origins

As of July 23, approximately 10 million Internet users in China have endorsed the open letter calling the World Health Organization (WHO) to investigate the Fort Detrick biolab. The mystery of Fort Detrick remains unexplained and has been shrouded by suspicions for quite some time.

Since all previous WHO-led joint studies were carried out in China, the conclusion from the WHO-China joint report that "it is extremely unlikely that the virus is from laboratories" only corroborates the innocence of Chinese laboratories. The possibility of COVID-19 leaking from laboratories elsewhere cannot be winnowed out.

Before jumping to any hasty conclusions, let's revisit some unraveled myths around American lab-leak hypotheses beyond China's Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).

First and foremost, Fort Detrick. It is home to US Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, Army Medical research Institute of Infectious Diseases and the National Cancer Institute. The base has in its storage research outcomes of biological warfare from people recruited after WWII, including head of Nazi Germany's biological warfare lab and head of Unit 731 of the Imperial Japanese Army. The US media revealed that Fort Detrick stores a large number of viruses that pose huge safety and health risks.

In July 2019, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a "cease and desist order" to halt most research at Fort Detrick. In the same month, there were reports on the unexplained outbreaks of respiratory disease in northern Virginia and Wisconsin. By the end of July, two retirement communities near the base experienced unexplained pneumonia outbreaks. In September, vaping-related lung illness cases doubled in Maryland where Fort Detrick is based. Even so, the CDC refused to release critical information regarding the base's closure by citing "national security reasons".

Besides Fort Detrick, over 1,100 American laboratory mishaps were still cloaked in secrecy which involves bacteria, viruses and toxins posing significant risks to people and agriculture, according to the American government reports obtained by USA Today. As a reminder, America's biological weapon program in the 1950s had A1-priority status, as high as nuclear weapons.

In the US, quite a few laboratories have conducted controversial "Gain of Function" (GoF) research which modifies naturally occurring animal viruses to test their transmissibility and pathogenicity to humans. Existing oversight only applies to relevant studies supported by National Institutes of Health (NIH), and privately funded research programs fall completely short of supervision, cautioned David Relman, member of the US National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity.

NIH guidelines clearly stipulate that enhanced potential pandemic pathogen review mechanism should provide transparency to the public regarding funded projects and the use of research results. Jeffrey Sachs, Director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University, believed that if there was indeed a lab-related release of COVID-19, it may well have occurred in a NIH-funded project since NIH has supported a large number of genetic recombination research but has yet revealed none of them.

Take American scientist Ralph S. Baric, a top-notch epidemiologist who is dubbed "the coronavirus hunter". Dr. Baric has dedicated himself to coronavirus tracking for approximately 40 years and possesses a large number of intellectual property rights in this regard. His team receives long-term support from the US military and provides research services for Fort Detrick.

In October 2014, the Obama administration believed that the Baric Lab's use of SARS, MERS, and influenza viruses for GoF transformation research posed a potential threat to public health. A ban was issued by the White House declaring the suspension of funding to similar research, and requiring researchers to immediately stop the relevant studies. However, Baric's laboratory continued the virus chimeric research in disregard of the order.

He has developed genetic techniques to enhance the infectivity of existing bat coronaviruses in collaboration with Shi Zhengli. In a widely circulated paper published in Nature Medicine in 2015 by Baric and Shi who is only the second corresponding author of the paper, Dr. Baric and his colleagues built a new coronavirus from an existing one through GoF research. The chimeric virus is much more pathogenic than the parental virus and the research was approved by NIH, according to Dr. Baric. All of the work was done in Baric's laboratory in North Carolina and the main contribution of Dr. Shi is the preparation of viral specimens discovered in China. Current alleged evidence pointing to Shi's zoonotic viral research actually serves as a sound reason for a thorough investigation on Baric's laboratory and its association with Fort Detrick. While the west is groundlessly accusing Dr. Shi of a possible laboratory mishap, let's not forget it is her team that isolated COVID-19 at the earliest possible time.

At this crucial juncture, all hidden myths should be subject to scrutiny and all laboratories carrying out GoF and other highly-risky biochemical research merit global attention. The Biden administration's total disregard of the international suspicion around its laboratory safety and continued bluffing of Trump's "Wuhan virus" betray their own utter incompetency to stop the pandemic. Public opinion cannot be clamped up by wanton accusations or purposeful diversion. China's voice can never be silenced in the face of groundless slander.
