One more thing: the Ziocrazies are at it *again*! They are now collecting signatures on Change.org for the “Jews Petition Congress” to convince Congress to attack Syria by using, what else, the “Holocaust” argument. Your can read the text of their petition here. All that’s missing is a “Syria’s blood on us and on our children!” slogan to make the picture complete. And then they wonder about Anti-Semitism…The Saker
Dear friends,Thanks for all your replies to my latest post. I will join the discussion later today. Right now, just a few short “bullet style” news updates The Russian Duma delegation has abandoned its plans to travel to the US to speak with US Congressmen after House Speaker John Boehner refused to meet with them. Russian military sources indicate that the main threat to Damascus will come from cruise missiles
At this point in time when an overt US military attack on Syria appear certain, it could be interesting to look at the choice of options President Obama has, how the Resistance could respond, and how then the US Empire would react to that. But before looking into this, I would like to begin with a few basic but important reminders:Reminder one: The Supreme crime of international lawIn international law
(Comment: I can only say that the contrast between the calm, pragmatic and yet principled Putin with the insecure, spineless and totally ideological Obama is amazing. Too bad that Russia has nobody to talk to in the White House right now, as the potential for collaboration between Russia and the USA is actually rather big. The Saker) On the eve of the G20 Summit, Vladimir Putin gave an interview to
Russian sources have confirmed that the Russian heavy missile cruiser Moskva has been sent to the eastern Mediterranean. China, for its part, is sending its amphibious dock landing warship, the 19,000 metric ton Jinggangshan, a 689-foot-long warship can carry 1,000 soldiers, helicopters, armored fighting vehicles, boats and landing craft. Moskva Jinggangshan Officially, the mission of the Jinggangshan is to “observe” the activities of the Russian and US navies. According to
I have been following today proceedings in Congress with absolute dismay. Sure, this was predictable, but still, to see these clowns trying to “out tough” each other is just sickening. Already, Obama’s proposed Resolution opened the door for much more than just a “Sissy Option” strike (under 3 days, 50-100 missiles). But now it appears that the Ziocrazies in Congress want to authorize military operations up to 90 days! That’s
Anonymous Lurker has just drawn my attention to a most interesting piece of information (thanks!): Russia is sending two large amphibious assault ships – the Novocherkassk and the Minsk – to the eastern Mediterranean. Novocherkassk Minsk This type of ship can carry 10 main battle tanks and 200 troops or 12 armored personnel carriers and 340 troops or 3 main battle tanks, plus some artillery and air defense systems. In
Today I am going to do something I never imaged I would even remotely contemplate: I am going to reprint an article by, I kid you not, Commentary. Yeah, I am on their mailing list because I like to keep an eye on the crazies, but today, for the first time ever, I read a full editorial of theirs and I can only agree with every word. So here goes,
Ok, now the picture of what actually happened this morning is becoming clear (thanks to the Russian media which is in a coverage frenzy over this and which has plenty of contacts inside the Russian military).The two missiles fired this morning were not cruise missiles of the Tomahawk type, but Israeli ballistic missiles of the “Anchor” type which are used as targets by the Israeli air defenses and which are
Russian media sources report that Hassan Nasrallah has ordered a full emergency mobilization of Hezbollah reservists who are now directed to their assembly areas from which they will be sent to their combat positions.
According to Russian media sources, early this morning the Russian early warning radar system Armavir run by the Russian Aerospace Defense Forces detected the launch of two missiles in the Mediterranean. Both missiles were fired in an eastern trajectory and both eventually fell into the sea. Russian early warning radars systems First, nobody admitted firing these missiles, in fact everybody denied it, but eventually the Israelis admitted that they
Tonight a good friend send me these links which I would like to pass on to you with a few disclaimers: http://www.crescent-online.net/2013/09/syrian-rebels-admit-using-chemical-weapons-wwwcrescent-onlinenet-4013-articles.html http://www.infowars.com/rebels-admit-responsibility-for-chemical-weapons-attack/ http://www.mintpressnews.com/witnesses-of-gas-attack-say-saudis-supplied-rebels-with-chemical-weapons/168135/ http://www.infowars.com/exclusive-syrians-in-ghouta-claim-saudi-supplied-rebels-behind-chemical-attack/ Disclaimers and caveats: a) It seems to me that these sources quote each other a lot; this might be because everybody else is trying hard to look away from this story. b) I also heard another explanation which says that a group of CIA agents
First, the leaders of the Russian Duma have decided to send a Parliamentary delegation to the USA to meet with their counterparts in Congress. The intention here is clearly to lobby for a ‘no’ vote to Obama’s request for a Congressional approval for a US attack on Syria.Second, the Russian Navy is sending a specialized intelligence ship – called the Priazovie – to the waters off the Syrian coast to
LOL! This did not take too long. According to the WSJ, “two key Republican Senate lawmakers gave notice that despite President Barack Obama‘s pledge to seek congressional authorization for a potential military strike against Syria, they wouldn’t support a limited attack that fell short of changing the momentum on the battlefield.” Hardly a surprise.But this a great way to achieve a complete deadlock. If Obama wants only a “shot across
Great news! Obama announced that he is going to go to Congress to seek a vote on military action against Syria. There is little doubt in my mind that what happened is that Obama’s advisers (possibly Hegel and Dempsey at the JCS) found a way to “spread the blame” for the inevitable accusation of “losing face” with Congress. From their point of view this is a win-win move: their Congress
Important note: the word “provocation” in the English voice-over is a mistranslation from the Russian word провокация (“provokatsia”) which, in this context, clearly means “false flag operation”. Putin is unambiguously stating that he knows that the Syrian military did not use chemical weapons but that this was a staged event.
Pepe Escobar – brilliant as always!
I took the time to listen to the full “here is our evidence” press statement by Kerry (full transcript here). This was a very discouraging experience. The bottom line is this: it appears quasi certain that the Americans will attack Syria essentially because “we are America” and because “its just gotta be Assad who did it”. Imperial hubris at its most pathological and compulsive.It is also rather clear that the
Over the past few days the Internet has been buzzing with reports about the Russian Navy sending warships including possibly guided missile cruisers (the Kerch, the Varyag, the Moskva are often mentioned), while Russian sources mention the large anti-submarine ship Admiral Panteleyev and various support vessels. Russian officials have made contradictory statements about how many ships are being send and which ships exactly would join the Russian flotilla, but the
