With the very few exceptions, the kneejerk reaction of the Western politicians’ to the Russians fighting ISIS with the Syrian Army, and the Russia’s Ministry of Defense revelations about the Turkey’s officials involvement into the terror financing has been predictable to the “t”: denial, denial, and more denial. In a face of anti-terror operations in Europe, and the loss of the basic democratic liberties by blindsided Europeans, leaders of the European Union seems to be set to support an advancement of islamo-fascism all the way from Ankara to Andalusia.
It’s absolutely obvious by now that the West will not fight against the islamo-fascism and will keep doing everything possible, politically and militarily, to support it.
There are very few talking points that are being offered to the Western readers as axioms, as we can see from the following two articles taken from the German Media.
C., our German research assistant, couldn’t find the English translations of these articles. So, he graciously translated them for us, non-German speakers.
Previous SITREP by C. of the “drivel of the German mainstream press” is here
This is what he wrote to me: “There is one very important article that I wanted to include in my sitrep, but could not, because I did not find an English translation.
Liebe Leserinnen, liebe Leser! Von Mathias Döpfner
I think it is a very important editorial, written by a very influential person. CEO of Springer SE, certainly one of the most important companies in the German media. And I think it is underreported even in Germany and certainly world-wide.
I wrote a quick translation that tries to stick to the original in wording and style as close as I could manage with two hours to spare. I tried to capture his weird German tone as closely as possible. The rest is my bad English.
This has been penned by the highest executive of one of the most powerful media conglomerates in Europe, and I did not see a lot of reporting on it.
Maybe you can distribute the translation among other researchers who might be interested, or post it on the blog?
Do not miss this crucial passage:
Orig: “Wie kann man da auf die Idee kommen, man müsse Verständnis für die andere Seite haben, die Wahrheit läge in der Mitte? Das tut sie eben nicht.”
In the light of this, how can anyone come to the conclusion that we should have understanding for the other side? That the truth might be somewhere in the middle? It is not.”
How can anyone come to the conclusion that peace could be won without understanding for the other side?
1914 redux… It is happening again….
This is really bad.
Pure lunacy.
It is important to note that the author is the CEO of the biggest brain-washing machine in the German and maybe European media. He is a very influential man. It’s hard to say if he is this brainwashed himself, or whether he knows that he is misleading people. Btw, all journalists for Springer have to sign a declaration that binds them to say nothing critical about their transatlantic partnership and Israel, if I am not mistaken. So, it’s no surprise that he, as their boss, does not dare criticize the USA.
“Dear Readers,
The corpses have not been put in the paramedics’ body-bags, the victims have not been counted. But the commentaries have been written. The speeches have been delivered. Everything has been analyzed. And we hear the same invocation over again. We will not allow our European values to be destroyed by terrorists. We want to and will stick to our way of life. Freedom will be victorious. This is all right. This is all important. And yet it is helpless. Europe is trying to be brave like a scared child screaming back at thunder and lighting. Europe has been weakened. Even worse: Europe is weak.
The sequence of “Charlie Hebdo” and the attacks of Friday, 13 November, is psychologically the European Nine Eleven.
The core has been struck. The state. The order of things. The security. The confidence to have everything under control. The self: It could have been me walking down that road, I could have been at that concert, people tell themselves. And nobody and nothing would have helped me. Not the police. Not the state. Not the politicians. The brute force of religious fanatics, wicked murderers is above our order. The salvoes from the Kalashnikovs, the detonations of the bombs are stronger than reason. This event has fundamentally shaken our trust and confronts the politicians with archaic questions. What to make of it? What will change because of it?
Michel Houellebecq’s book “Submission” was published a few days prior to the attacks on “Charlie Hebdo”. It tells the story of a creeping infiltration and finally the conquest of France by islamist fundamentalism. In the beginning there are attacks, fire, bombs going of in the centre of Paris. Then synchronized shootings of civilians. Slowly everyday life changes. Mini-skirts disappear and are replaced with long dresses. Then the political coup: The leader of a Muslim party is elected president. The hero or anti-hero of the book converts to Islam – more due to a need for complacency then fear. The Submission.
The novel has been accused of islamophobia. That is absurd. It is a frightening fantasy (orig. “beklemmende Fantasie”) – written without hate or prejudice. All the more frightening (orig. “beklemmend”) because traces of it can be found more and more in our reality here and now. Parts of the books read like a portent of things to come. Other parts like a manual the IS murder commandos might have read and said: We will put into action what the decadent West puts in literature.
The Western democracies face a fateful question: How to actually defend our often cited freedom? Or more archaic: Submit or fight? And if it is fight we chose: How?
The refugee crisis and now the terror wave of Paris are the combustive agents of a clash of cultures that has been smoldering for a long time. The non-democratic regimes of this world are often lead in a virile and decisive manner, the democratic societies are often too weak, indecisive and hesitant. Russians, Chinese and most Islamic states know what they want and put that into action. Most democracies seek dialogue and compromise with and applause from their citizens. But it is easily overlooked that the canon of our culture and civilization does not apply to our enemies. While we see offering a compromise as a moral obligation for the enemy to make concession in return, Muslim extremists see such offers as sign of weakness and also as encouragement.
The consequence of this policy is inaction in Syria. It’s a stand-off in Iran. It’s looking the other way in the radicalized parts of Africa. It’s a “welcome-culture” in Germany – without any concept.
The facts of the migration wave allow all those, who have not lost their common sense completely, to realize that this is unsustainable. Millions of refugees a year cannot be integrated, not even by the most potent and tolerant society. Opposition is rearing its head everywhere, even in the deep leftist milieus. If the killing frenzy of Paris is used as evidence of the limits of integration, there is a huge risk that this will result in unleashing left- and right-wing nationalists and racists. The borderless cosmopolitanism of today is only the vanguard of a new wave of xenophobia of the ugliest kind. In the end there will be a crisis of state and riots that might escalate to civil war. The answer can only be a policy of strength, the decisive and confident defense of constitutional democracy, freedom of religion, market economy and human rights. But it is hard to find decisiveness and strength in today’s continental Europe.
We apply double standards.
In more and more hotels in Germany there is a Quran in the drawer. In an Arabic hotel one will look for the Bible in vain. You cannot enter most Arabic countries and Iran if your passport shows that you have been to Israel. In some European countries arriving with an Arabian passport might result in a slightly more lengthy procedure when entering the country. But no one would entertain the notion of denying someone entry because they have been to a country with a different religion. In Israel a head of state is imprisoned for sexually molesting his secretary, in Iran women who betray the fact that they have been raped, are stoned to death. In the light of this, how can anyone come to the conclusion that we should have understanding for the other side? That the truth might be somewhere in the middle? It is not.
The message of Paris is: We have to defend our values with all lawful and democratic means at our disposal. This includes new immigration policies that grant refugees from war zones in existential peril asylum, but consequently turns away economic migrants and people from safe third party nations. And immediately expels people who violate the rules of our laws. Also the financial incentives that make some countries in Europe alluring destinations for refugees have to be reduced. Even more important: A truly common European and transatlantic security policy. A policy of united strength.
Defense with all instruments of the constitutional state and democracy also means: Only with these instruments. And not with the means of our adversaries. Because who answers freedom with censorship or torture betrays the ideals of freedom.
It might not be happenstance that these days a stage play and a movie have this dilemma at the heart of their earnest search for answers. Steven Spielberg’s film “Bridge of Spies” stars as its main character lawyer James B. Donovan, who is trying to defend soviet spy Rudolf Abel. He is fighting a judge that casts aside constitutional procedure under the pretext of “higher interests”. Donovan withstands the pressure of the intelligence agencies and wins by putting regulations before good intensions. In the end, through the great agents exchange at the Glienicker bridge, he saves the lives of at least three people and the order of the free society.
Similar to Ferdinand von Schirach’s recently premiered stage play “Terror”. At the centre of it are the court proceedings around the hijacking of a plane carrying 164 passengers. The Islamic hijackers plan crashing it into Munichs biggest football arena and 70.000 spectators. Is it acceptable to shoot down the plane and kill 164 innocent people to save 70.000? Von Schirach tortures himself and the audience with finding the answer. The judges closing words express this dissatisfaction: “Even if it is hard to bear, we have to accept that our laws are incapable of resolving every moral dilemma without contradictions.” This sounds like defeat, but is actually victory. It is the triumph of our values over simple solutions. Simple solutions can be found with hate and bombs. Good solutions only through rules which favour principles over intensions. Along these lines Schirach says: “Terrorists cannot endanger our republic, only we ourselves can.” And vulnerability is a price that free societies will always have to pay.
If the attacks in Paris, the assault in the heart of Europe, will be a wake up call for policies of strength of the West, for watchful pride of the enlightenment, constitutional law and human rights and their active defense – this scare might result in something good. If indecisiveness and tolerance keep on reigning, the victims of Paris will just be the prelude to submission. Enough speeches have been given. Enough condolences from Muslim institutions have been received. This is not enough any more. The imams have to point the way in their mosques. AS for the politicians in the parliaments, we need no left or right populism. We need a radicalization of society’s centre, a centre that decisively defends its freedom-values. Democracy is ready to fight. A strong Europe. We owe it to the victims and to our children.”
Today, I have received the second article translated by C.
This is what he writes to me: “Much like the last translation I sent you a couple of week ago, people who are interested in German mainstream media, but do not speak German, might find this informative.
I read an article today that made my blood boil, so I translated it.”
Vorwurf an Türkei: Moskau bleibt Beweise für Ölhandel mit IS schuldig
This second article is a created by Spiegel Online editor Raniah Salloum, who dismisses all evidence provided by the Russia’s Ministry of Defense,
as “a red herring to distract from the fact that so far his (Putin) government has done hardly anything against Daesh”.
Actually, Raniah Salloum states, its Syria and Iraq that buy oil from Daesh on “industrial scale.” Does, she provides any evidence? No, she doesn’t.We just have to believe her.
Who is Raniah Salloum ?
She is a foreign affairs editor with SPIEGEL ONLINE.
According to tlaxcala-int.org, she was born in 1984, studied politics and economics at the French university Sciences Po and Cornell University in the US state of New York. After that, she received training at the Henri Nannen School of Journalism with stations at the “taz”, “Financial Times Germany” and “Sueddeutsche.de”. Thereafter, she was an editor at the Financial Times Germany in departmental policy abroad. Since May 2012, she is an editor at SPIEGEL ONLINE in departmental policy.
In 2013, an anonymous author of the article Lügen und Desinformation auf Spiegel Online
called Raniah Salloum “Propagandaschmierfink”
Raniah Salloum has been reporting on the civil war in Syria since its interception, reporting on “crimes of Assad regime,” that we know have been investigated and proved as being false flag attacks. Not a single word from her of ever retrieving any of her statements.
Not only, Raniah Salloum is a specialist in the Middle East politics, she is also an expert on Ukraine. Here some of her tweets from the post-Maidan Ukraine. As you might imagine, all of her views are anti-Russian. [source]
I tried to find any information about Raniah Salloum family’s background, but couldn’t find anything in English.
But then I found this:
ISIS: Inside the Army of Terror, book review by Syrper: part one
By Ziad Fadel / April 26th, 2015
A great example of acerbic journalism that sounds like it came directly from one of the thesaker’s authors. Ziad Fadel writes about the phenomenon of the modern Western press that uses the fake personalities with ethnic sounding names as “journalists.” In his review he writes about one of the co-authors of a book “ISIS: Inside the Army of Terror” namely a personality that calls him/herself “Hassan Hassan.” Ziad Fadel convincingly proves that the personality is not real, and no one seems to challenge his assertion.
It remands me, how I, inadvertently, stumbled into a body of work of “Sheren Khalel,” who appears to be a “Hassan Hassan’s” virtual twin. [source]
The book “ISIS: Inside the Army of Terror” was touted by every western TV channel from France24 to BBC, and even OMG. The only review of this book that was worth reading was Ziad Fadel’ review, including comments by a few readers, one of which mentioned “Raniah Salloum”:
“radioyaran April 26th, 2015 at 8:33 AM [Level 7 – Tribunus Angusticlavius]
Good article. The pattern with the likes of “Hassan Hassan” is being repeated over and over again within western media. The idea is to deceive the naive reader by creating the impression of having “insiders” or “native experts” writing for the newspaper. For instance, Germanys Spiegel Online uses “Raniah Salloum” one of the most stupid journalists ever. Her Arabic sounding name is intended to lend credibility to her. Its the repetition of the same 4 years old nonsense: Hundreds of thousands of people, almost entirely secular and totally unarmed and peaceful wanted democracy and “reforms” (to this date I don’t know exactly WHAT they demanded, except that we are told it were “legitimate demands”), while Assad, the “butcher” who is supposedly a sectarian Sunni hater with no support in Syria decided to “massacre” his people…”
On December 1st, Raniah Salloum @Ranyah tweeted:
“Putin, a close ally of #Assad who buys oil from ISIS, accuses Turkey of buying oil from ISIS. An Alanis Morissette song comes to mind.”
So, this is an official Spiegel’s stance on the Russia’s attempts to cut financing to the terrorists groups in Syria and Iraq.
Spiegel now accuses Assad and Syria in buying oil from ISIS, without any proof, without any satellite images, or photos of hundreds of trucks traveling toward Damascus.
The following is a translation of Raniah Salloum’s article by C.:
Vorwurf an Türkei: Moskau bleibt Beweise für Ölhandel mit IS schuldig
“The disagreement between Vladimir Putin and Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan has not been settled more than a week after the downing of a Russian war plane. To the contrary, the Russian military in Moscow have tried to support Putin’s accusations with satellite images.
Remember: Putin made four accusations:
– Deash supplies Turkey with oil “on an industrial scale”.
– Erdogan profits from this trade personally.
– Turkey shot down the Russian plane to protect Daesh’s supply routes.
– The oil enters Turkey via the Syrian border town of Asas to be transported to the ports of Iskenderun and Dörtyol.
The pictures presented this Thursday do not support any of these four theories.
P/ Russian Defense Ministry
Supposed proof: Russian military present satellite pictures in Moscow
Two close-ups were presented, supposedly taken on November 14. The first allegedly shows a traffic jam eleven kilometers south-east of the Turkish town of Silopi, the second showing neighboring Iraqi Kurdish town Zakho.
A glance at the map shows:
– The towns supposedly shown in the satellite pictures are 500 kilometers away from the site where the Russian jet was shot down. They can hardly be seen as evidence that the downing of the aircraft was meant to protect Daesh smuggle routes.
– The pictured regions are not controlled by Daesh anyway. On the Iraqi side of the border
– the Iraqi-Kurdish Peschmerga are in control. They are an enemy of Daesh.
Overview: Crash site far to the west, Silopi and Zakho in the east.
Two further satellite pictures allegedly taken on October 18 picture Deir al-Sor in Easter Syria, also far from the site where the jet was shot down, according to Russian sources show “390 tank trucks”. Should this be accurate the question remains: Who owns them? Where are they going?
REUTERS/ Russian Defence Ministry
Vehicles in the desert: According to Russian sources the picture shows 390 tank trucks.
These are the decisive questions. It has long been known that Daesh controls the oil fields east of Deir al-Sor. From there the militia sells the oil to Iraqi and Syrian merchants, unconnected to Daesh. They in turn trade the oil, especially in Syria and Iraq.
The tank trucks might be owned by these merchants. Should their trucks be filled with oil in the deserts of Syria and Iraq, which does not prove that they deliver their goods to Turkey. In a nutshell:
Russia’s pictures suggest a lot, but do not prove anything.
Putin’s accusations mainly rest on two popular prejudices: Everything in the Middle East is connected to oil. Erdogan would dare go wherever. Is their any truth in that? An overview:
What is the Turkish government’s position on Daesh? It is at best ambivalent. Turkey widely allows Daesh-supporters freedom to act as they please. Whether they actually go as far as supporting them is questionable. So far there are no facts to prove that. But one thing is for sure: The fight against Daesh is not Erdogan’s priority.
What is the Russian government’s position on Daesh? Moscow’s priority is to keep Assad in power. The Russian government concentrates on fighting the Syrian rebels, because they are a greater threat to Assad than Daesh. But these rebels also fight Daesh.
Is the Syrian crisis all about oil? No. Syria only has modest reserves of oil and gas unlike e.g. Iraq. Anyway, the oil revenues only make up an insubstantial part of Daesh’s total income.
Who buys Daesh’s oil? Almost all parties of the Syrian and Iraqi conflict buy it via middlemen. Ideology takes a backseat to business and the supply of fuel. Among the profiteers are Turkish smugglers in the border region. Ankara tries to find and put them out of business. The only actor buying oil from Daesh “on an industrial scale” is the Syrian regime. Joint ventures organize the production of oil and gas on which the Syrian regime’s electricity production hinges.
Why have the USA not stopped the oil trade by now? The biggest problem is that it mainly involves civilians: workers, engineers, truck drivers, middlemen and merchants. The oil trade is their only hope of sustaining their families in these war-torn countries. Daesh, in a certain sense, might be found at the source, but even there just in the background.
What does Putin gain from his allegations? The accusations are a red herring to distract from the fact that so far his government has done hardly anything against Daesh. Instead Russia mainly bombs those who fight Daesh in Syria and props up a regime that does indeed buy oil and gas from Daesh on an industrial scale.
Regarding the first translated article, large parts of the text are completly logical, but the text is threaded with false presumptions and conclusions.
No we have no freedom, no we do not practice functional democracy in Europe.
All the article seems to be doing is steering genuine concern into more of the same behaviour that is the root cause of the problem.
We cannot wage devestating wars on multiple nations and at the same time import the disenfranchised population of these nations into our lands. Expecting them to like us and feel a need to adapt to our customs, whilst simultaneously providing them with the financial means and acceptance of cultural deviation that prevent them from being forced to enter the job market and integrate in the process.
This is a recipe for disaster that will indeed lead to something akin to a civil war, but let’s not kid ourselves here, the influx of migrants is a planned affair it is a replacement, an invasion enacted by our very own rulers.
The invasion of an ideology that is anethema to our culture and will lead to the destruction of our society and all we have established in Europe.
Our rulers can see that their bait and switch multi party yet single ideology system is losing it’s effect at an accelerating rate, this invasion is meant to keep us divided and fighting amongst each other to maintain the age old divide and rule strategy.
The old methods are wearing off and now other measures, though not new yet with a new radical intensity, have been implemented without much forethought of the consequences.
The article seems to ignore these obvious facts and with a twisted logic is steering toward a cultural/racial war on a global scale.
While what we should be doing is end our meddling in other peoples affairs and offer genuine help.
To solve problems locally, not in a unilateral way determined by our elites but solely in an assisting role, to cooperate with regional powers to make those areas safe and attractive places to live again, in order to allow repatriation of migrants and refugees and thus reduce division in our own nations.
Perhaps then we could start working together on the problems that are looming in the future, like over-population and food and water shortages, together apart in the interest of all.
But allas, our western governments are ruled by a small ruthless subculture and our people are blind to the elephant in the room, short of an economic collapse at least in the west nothing will break their grip on power.
We cannot wage devestating wars on multiple nations and at the same time import the disenfranchised population of these nations into our lands.
Sure we can! It’s called: invade the world, invite the world. Great strategy, eh?
The first article is a tract, a piece of weasel-worded fascism. Comes down to “Muslims are evil and we must do whatever it takes to . . . well, don’t want to say, and don’t forget we have to maintain some legal fig-leaves so nobody can say we’re doing anything bad.” Vile and gutless. Dangerous only because it comes from someone in such a key position.
The last is clever, though. It’s where the rubber meets the road in propaganda terms; it marshals the pseudo-facts and tries to make a real case. Even so, some of the stuff is pretty obvious. Like, it tries to refute Putin’s broad claim that the plane was shot down because Russia is opposing Daesh, while Turkish elites are buying masses of oil from that same Daesh, by saying “Well, but that particular plane wasn’t bombing those oil tankers so it can’t be true!” What?! What’s that got to do with anything? Do the public really buy this kind of crap?!
The stuff about where the tanker trucks in the Russian photos are and where they are headed is very likely direct lies, but it’s much more clever in that it’s hard for an individual to fact check, so it comes down to which do you choose–and most average Western citizens have no particular reason to trust Russian official pronouncements any more than the pronouncements of Western politicians, so they’re left believing whoever’s position gets repeated more. It reminds me of a while back when there were all these barricades in Venezuela and opposition types started tweeting all these pictures of terrible police brutality–that had happened years ago in other countries, but they were busily passing them off as happening right then in Venezuela because the real Venezuelan police and national guard weren’t obliging them. Lots of people, particularly foreigners, swallowed it hook, line and sinker because they couldn’t tell from looking at the picture where it was happening.
It has been well documented that the German media is permeated by presstitutes working/whoring for the CIA. So it is not a surprise that they follow the official NATO/Washington narrative that everything Russia says is a lie, regardless of what evidence they produce or what evidence the West does not produce.
What is most disappointing is that the German people appear to have accepted this narrative. I suppose that is why Merkel is still in power, why Germany implements self-destructive anti-Russian sanctions, why they are still a member of NATO, etc, etc I suppose this leaves it up to the French to oppose this madness . . . time to invest in a fallout shelter?
steven, the WSWS is also a treasure-house of information regarding the war-lust of the German elite, and the MSM’s role in furthering it. This is no surprise as Germany, following West Germany, is a Nazi-successor state returning to its old habits. After WW2 the USA ensured that de-Nazification was skin-deep and cosmetic, then put lower-level Nazis in charge across the country. The real anti-Nazis had been killed or fled to the Soviet Union then the DDR. In contrast, when the Anschluss of the DDR occurred in 1989-90, the institutions of the DDR were thoroughly purged, even of non- Party Members, down to the middle-management level, all replaced by apparatchiki from the West. Hence the embarrassing ‘Ostalgie’.
No Western state will ever leave the US camp. Their elites are too connected to the Evil Empire, the rewards are too great, the punishments too brutal and certain. Entry to Western elites for generations has been firmly restricted to the ‘Right’ sort of person. The only conceivable way to change such regimes is through revolution, these days impossible due to mass surveillance and ‘anti-terrorist’ laws. That or generalised war, which looks more and more likely. After that there will be a new regime alright- a Confederacy of the Cockroaches. I’d say that the seeds of human self-destruction were sown when a Messianic death-cult, American Exceptionalism, came to dominate the world ‘after’ WW2 (which really never ended) and its psychopathic ruling elites determined to rule the whole planet forever, that, clearly, being God’s Will. And then it was further complicated by the amazing success of the Jews in taking over control of US politics, business and the MSM, adding their own Messianic narcissism, anti-goyite hatred and drive for revenge on somebody, anybody (the Palestinians and the neighbouring states will not be sufficient forever)for the Nazi Judeocide. Clearly, having the world run by Obama, Powers and Kerry et al, all working for Satan-yahoo, is not a healthy or morally uplifting situation. I feel sorry for Putin. I suspect that in his heart of hearts he knows that he is being attacked by ultimate Evil, and the odds of success aren’t great.
Mulga,
while I agree with your brief to-the-point note, the last statement “I feel sorry for Putin. I suspect that in his heart of hearts he knows that he is being attacked by ultimate Evil, and the odds of success aren’t great” is quite pessimistic.
We must pray, hope, and try so that this evil dark filthy force ultimately get defeated by Russian-Iranian-Chinese combination of forces (representing truth and natural justice)
wow C you sure do alot of translating…thanks so much…I have sent it to several friends in Europe.
As with all good propaganda/lies there is that grain of truth. The world is not black and white but shades of grey.That ‘grey’ may approach white but rarely gets there. Greys can be exploited for propaganda.
So the Syrian ‘regime’ (note that meme) may buy oil that came indirectly via Daesh. So what? What practical alternative would they have if Daesh has control over Syrian oil?
The USA claims they don’t accept Iranian oil but by the time that same oil has changed hands it will end up mixed in the same refineries as non-iranian oil. Again, so what?
This chilling article also has more non-seqiturs than you can shake a stick at.
So the Syrian ‘regime’ may buy oil that came indirectly via Daesh. So what?
So what? It makes no sense. Buying oil from Daesh means you hand over more weapons to the murder behind your door. No sane person would ever do this. If it happens then it’s certainly not managed from Damascus.
Perhaps you are fortunate and have never lived in a war zone? People who prevail are innovative and pragmatic -they do whatever it takes to make money and survive. If there’s only one refinery within any practical distance and that was taken over by ISIL, guess what, you end up buying ISIL oil -assuming you would know the difference.
War is full of contradictions.
Weston,
Syria has been at war since 2011 – they have had their – yes – their oil fields taken over by terrorists – so who are they going to deal with to get their oil that belongs to them. This is war in Syria – their country is occupied. They have to keep their people alive. Are the Syrian Governemnt buying its own oil; selling it on the international market; profiting from this and then giving money back to the terrorists? – No!
Turkey and other countries on the other hand are taking this stolen Syrian oil, refining it and then making money selling it as well as giving the terrorists $2 billion back in money to pay for weapons etc. and to recruit even more terrorists.
Also the whole “Assad should go” and therefore not helping Syria and the Syrian people hasn’t helped either…..
Can u not see the difference?
To clear this whole matter up – the sanctioned chap has come out and said it is all lies. The Syrian Governement has never bought oil from Daesh. Apparently this whole debacle was based on an article from the opposition. No facts.
http://tass.ru/en/world/841873
The Syrian ” regime buy oil stolen from a Syrian oil well ? It doesn’t compute !
Raniah Salloum – sounds Israeli to me…
I guess I would be more interested in Alternative Media in Germany than again and again hearing about the MSM…we all know about MSM – personally I don’t even like reading Reuters…translated from German or American style.
I think the more attention MSM gets, the longer it will survive, even if the attention is negative…
Lets ignore them.
I completely subscribe that even if it’s necessary every now and then to look at the Corprate Media in order to recognize new propagandistic dynamics and volte-faces.
One thing that eases me, is that all of the German Corporate Media are loosing considerable shares on the market
That “Anonymous” comment was from me.
I don’t think she’s Israeli. I’m going to guess Christian Arab from either a Lebanese or Syrian background. Google shows this:
“Salloum Name Meaning Muslim: variant of Salaam, found especially in North Africa and other areas of former French influence.”
Even though it says the name came from “Muslim”. I still think maybe Christian. The two largest populations of people with that last name shown are the US and Lebanon. And most of those in the US would probably be from the large number of “Syrian” immigrants at the last part of the 19th and early 20th centuries to the US. Even though they were called Syrian, most of them were Christian Arabs from whats now Lebanon (in those days thought of as “Syria”). As for what else I see,she is very pro-West and a well know journalist for the German press. Another reason I think Christian Arab. She would be able to understand the majority culture in the MENA. But still be slightly apart from it. Perfect for serving the empire. She also took Middle East studies in college. But also courses in Syrian studies. Another reason to think her background is “Syrian” or Lebanese.Since if she was going to specialize in one country in the huge MENA why single out one of the least important (at that time),instead of Turkey,Iran,Saudi Arabia,Egypt. I think it was because with her family background it would have been easier.And it might have interested her more with a family background in Syria. That might also explain some of her particular hatred of Assad.She grew up during his father’s time frame as ruler of Syria. And though not by me,his father was hated by many.In particular those with a pro-West allegiance. That’s all conjecture of course. And she might be Muslim after all. But if she is,I think the rest is still correct. Only the religion of her family might be different.
Raniah or Rania is same, the quee of Jordan who is of palestinian origine is sunni muslim and her name is Rania. However any arabic speaking be it christian or muslim can take the name ”Rania” there is nothing about it that suggest only muslims can choose it.
Plausible to me. The politics of the Christian communities in Lebanon are more split than they used to be–some have decided enough of the snakepit and are more or less allied with Hezbollah–but there is still a big portion that are pretty nasty Anglozionist quislings, their elites deeply integrated with American etc. influence. And paradoxically, it seems to me a name meaning Muslim could actually suggest a Christian family. It’s like you get the name Scot or Scott in England, originally attached to a Scottish immigrant hundreds of years ago but by now English as can be.
Hi Ann,
thanks for your comment. You have a point there.
I will try to find the time to translate a couple of “non-mainstream” German articles for a more balanced view.
I would be so interested in the Alternative Media of Germany..one of the countries that is the most important in the world. Unfortunately the anglo-zionists have really defeated dear Germany and she has yet to raise her head on high….except in alternative stuff…which Germany is better at than any other I think…
Ann, I was also interested in German non-mainstream media and I was searching for articles in English, sometimes I see really great stuff like that: http://russia-insider.com/en/german-media-watch-bogeyman-putin/ri11676
They post translations of German non-MSM articles from time to time. Take a look. I was surprised and glad to find this resource.
Very interesting question, Ann, what do you think why did [Anonymous/”C.”] not mention any glorious findings our Germ Alternative Press (GAP) made, which are hidden there and can be found there and would have to be reported in the world wide web, e.g. at TheSaker’s? My short answer (#1): because there isn’t any GAP in Glorious Old Germany (GOG). An extensive answer (#2) would have to be a whole book, perhaps under the title of “Tragedy, Idiocy, Infamy and No Hope” (TrIaNoH).
But I could be wrong! So, I hastened to do some field work at the Zoo station’s Zeitungsshop (ZoZ). In Berlin it has become a custom that you can read as much as you want for free in the bigger newspaper shops e.g. at bigger railway stations (it’s more important to instruct the masses than to extract petty money from them). They don’t provide chairs and free coffee as well to round off the offer, which may be one reason why for months I haven’t been there “to inform myself”. But mostly, I must have been too busy reading information where it can be found, at home, in the internet, e.g. at TheSaker’s. Ok, what I found yesterday evening was what I had remembered, but it was good to see that I had forgot nothing and nothing new had developed in the mean time. I took a photograph of the small space of the shop (ca 2 metres) with the whole alternative stuff, but I don’t know of a possibility to include pix in a comment, so I have to describe it in words. In the top row there are 2m of erotic art… In the next four rows: finance and business – for the average Berliner even more exotic or alternating than erotic adventures – and related topics (The Arts). Perhaps I should have begun with the bottom. There they have alternative views on our German Reality by German Minorities. These are, from the right to the left: Evangelical christians (no catholics here), Jews (two papers), Prussians and unfaltering Nazis (Deutsche National- und Soldatenzeitung). After WWII, the Evangelical (EKD) and the Neonazi (NPD with fore- and afterrunners) movements were triggered by the same gang of english shpitzels, the von Thaddens – Weizsäcker, “Merkel” and Gauck were “was hinten rauskommt” (Kohl)… what came out of the combination english shpitzelism and the von Thaddens: GOG’s führers since 1981.
In the 3rd row from below, on the right side (105cm) you could find the whole spectrum of our GAP: “Zuerst!” (right-wing), “Hintergrund” (academic-boring, no chance to contradict anything) “konkret” (left, in german: “ultra-links”), “Compact” (left-plus-right wing or vice versa; its boss, Elsässer, being a former leftist who has seen the light, a sun rising in the West), and “compact spezial” (single topics). These are all the “alternative” rags we 80 millions may choose from (=answer #3); more about them in the future TrIaNoH study. Our ZOZ is, of course, a huge shop with hundreds of TV program/women/crossword/fashion/computer journals and a large offer of fat books which voyagers might want to buy before trying to reach Hoppegarten or Fangschleuse. There once was among them one (thin) book I found interesting, and which I wanted now to look at again or even buy to be able to report its content in detail. Its title was “Berlin zum Abkacken” (Berlin for shitting off), and when I had a first look at it months ago I felt it was the first important advancement on the standard description of post war West Berlin “Berlin – Hauptstadt von Filz und Korruption” (Berlin – capital of filth and corruption) by Matthew D. Rose. Unfortunately, someone must have bought this book already, I couldn’t find it anymore and the man there never heard of it.
Obviously there are also plain newspapers in the ZoZ, and among them (i.e. at another location) some more minority/alternative stuff. There is one not too bad Serbian daily (Vesti) for the Yugo minority in Germany, printed in Frankfort/M, there is the fat weekly “Russkij Berlin – part of Russkaja Germanija”, operating from the hated Springer House, but not too springerian, there is a monthly for Thai ladies and their admirers, “Farang”, which I uused to buy and read before the one known shop that sold it went bankrupt, it continues to exist and to claim on the internet that there are many outlets in Berlin, but ZoZ is definitely not one of them. A Polish rag – Kurir poloniny – existed for a while but rests in peace for years already. Those papers by and for “foreigners” usually are 100% uncritical of the country where they are allowed to exist in peace only if they are guaranteed 100% unritical, and thus, no alternative, offering no alternative views (=answer #4). Aw yes, those bloody Poles again, there *were* some articles in Kurir… complaining e.g. about the reported fact that the children of Polish families in Germany can be taken away if the parents refuse to speak German with them at home to provide them with a correct “mother tongue”. Funny that namely this Kurir… disappeared, isn’t it?
In the Maison de France they sometimes have a shy something that claims to be the voice of the French in Berlin… at least years ago, sometimes. There is a readable and often amusing program mag in english, “ExBerliner”. But like all program magazines (Tip and Zitty), it is mostly about discos and classy restaurants. The first prog magazine in Berlin, “Hobo”, forerunner of “Zitty”, was a real “alternative” rag in 1973 when it was founded after the model of London’s “TimeOut”, and I joined it after some months as my first job after university, hoping to become a real tough alternative journalist in a rising alternative media powerhouse. I was fired shortly afterwards after having mumbled some lines about the (for me) obvious wish of Israel to illegally install their own settlements on the freshly acquired West Bank and thus make it their’s: such an “obvious nonsense” was just too much alternativity to our main stream line that “our Jewish friends” would never ever do anything objectable. Being fired once “for such an outrage” means never getting another chance – this is Germany and not America (Ringier et al.) I have tried other “alternatives”, which also were not… you’ll find a complete list of them in TrIaNoH. Today, Tip and Zitty are two labels of the same publisher and care mostly about discos and classy restaurants (=#5). There was a predecessor to Hobo, called “883” in the late sixties. It’s editor became later one of the creatures typical for GAP-activists that refuse to see the light in time: with no proper address, no proper telephone, unknown ways of living (not journalism), perhaps reachable via his lady… (=#6) After reunification one Ester Berlin burgerrightler founded an alternative journal, with the title.. uh.., but soon made the terrible mistake of publishing a list of former shtazi shpitzels. Imagine! The poor things – put into the reach of their victims (brave germans who never do anything not ordered)! This outrage was punished with a heavy fine for interfering with the personal freedom which the former shtasis had just acquired through reunification. The paper ceased to exist, and if the editor managed to remark and see the light in time, there was surely found a way to avoid the fine. If – then, else – not.
By the way, there *were* many alternative projects within GOG’s press, always an “alternative to the whole system” – that is, the need for an alternative press organ was always felt, answered with one whole strand of new initiatives, which then always failed, mostly by nazi infiltration, skewing, reversing the original intentions (=#7). In 1965 or so, Günther Grass (our nobel writer from the Waffen-SS, that is, a person with built in career mechanism) and friends of his turned the local paper “Spandauer Volksblatt” (for the district of Spandau within West Berlin) of the Erich Lezinsky publishing house into a national alternative paper. What remained of Lezinsky today is a bureau for accepting small ads, which I detected recently in Spandau. The writers of the Spandauer Volksblatt moved on to the “Frankfurter Rundschau” (which is today a problem child without any reach or influence and probably value). Then, 1968+?, the “Tageszeitung (taz)” was founded, in the same movement (I remember, probably not too correctly) that also produced “liberation” in FR and “Gazeta Wyborcza” in PL. “Alternative” media were then (or always) an expression of a new initiative of alternative politics – thus, the taz was the organ of the “Green” movement and party. I don’t remember when I stopped touching the taz (“this nazi crap” as not only I thought of it), but after the social democrats and greens under nazi shpitzel and provocateur Jozef Fischer restarted Hitler’s war against YU in 1999 everything green and definitely the taz is avoided by its main possible clientele as contagious poison. After “reunification” (illegal annexation of the GDR), the mighty East German communist party paper “Neues Deutschland” was bought by the “Süddeutsche Zeitung”, which is the contínuation of the Munich-based American Army reeducation daily “Neue Zeitung” (whose perceived quality was such that its end in 1954? was a day of national mourning for the whole post war intelligencija in West Germany). In the late 90s I made theatre pix for a small (“alternative”) theatre in Berlin, which were sent to our newspapers, often printed, and then paid by all of them except one. While The Enemy, Springer, always paid without any remarks to my person not being what they want (which cannot have escaped Springer’s own spy service), Neues Deutschland never paid and instead ornated their copyright thefts with smart jokes of all kinds. Thus my vote for the most stinking GAP product goes to this nest of bavarian jesuits hiding and playing foul under the false image of “impudent old communists”.
Yet another wave of alternativism resulted from the obscene theft of East Germany by the continued nazi power of West Germany through the von Thadden conspiracy (of real nazis under the guise of benevolent wise evangelical clerics). In some ex-commie countries namely the party youth dailies survived (e.g. in Russia and Czecho(slovakia)), and in the territory between Rhine and Odra, too: the “Junge Welt”, ex-commie, became an alternative to the taz, then “Jungle World” became an alternative to Junge Welt (Junge Welt was leftist but not leftist enough, this “left extremism” of Jungle World seems to be generally regarded as a CIA-provocation, I did not regard myself into that matter), while the von Thadden nazis created as another alternative to Junge Welt the frankly nazi “Junge Freiheit”. It became then fashionable for mainstream politicians to grant them interviews, brushing off the n-problem with wisecracks like “in a democracy everybody must have the right to speak to anybody”, which applies obviously only to deviations to the right side. Junge Welt, somehow connected to the weekly Freitag, continues to be nice and left, it is now owned (partially or completely) by Augstein jr, the son of the english shpitzel Rudolf Augstein and as such founder of Der Spiegel. “Der Spiegel”, for decades an alternative to everything else, was in the early years run by SS journalists under english scum service supervision, and has become a cooperative of the Springer empire some years ago. I read it from 1954-2014, then stopped, because the Springer influence had made another political Micky Mouse magazine out of it. Der Spiegel was the top of West German journalism for decades, and as “left” as old SS hands knew to appear, but was always manipulative … and so on… and so on.
A last set of alternativity, present at ZoZ, should be named: we have two “satirical” magazines, “Titanic” (Frankfurt/M, West) and “Eulenspiegel” (Berlin, East). Both express much better than anything written in words anywhere in Germany the agony, the hatred, the disgust, the contempt that “Hitler”‘s probable daughter (see an excellent photographic comparison on http://www.evilyoshida.com), Angela, is inspiring to anyone who is not paid by the von-Thadden-Adolf+Angela-Regime and who has some brain left. In that, Eulenspiegel seems more consequent than Titanic, and they sometimes have researched articles, too.
The main reason why all this is so – that, simply said, there is no GAP (=#1) – must be that a. it has been setup this way by the regime of the english shpitzel Adolf “Hitler” and his gang, who installed the Reichsschrifttumskammer (RSK, chamber of the writers of the Reich) for achieving a homogenous stratum of well-paid yes-sayers without any no-sayers (since these would not be accepted into or excluded from the RSK, and by this alone, would have no right to be published anywhere), b. West Germany continued under the pressure of the angloamerican occupants the former nazi state as it was (changing labels and optics, of course), including the RSK, which is now a part of the (activities of) the general nazism-supervision-body, the BND, allegedly “Federal News Service”, but in reality the same jesuit Bavarian Nazification Dirt that had already pushed up “Hitler”. BND is a scum “service” (or rather master), so eveything is covered, and the main cover of the BND is that this is “our lovely foreign esponage agency”.It is not, their foreign espionage history is a ridiculous failure – they are a nazification machinery, which made out of a completely destroyed nazi state in 1945 a fully nazified and germanized EU in 2015. One of its many instruments (all of which work under cover, on no legal basis whatsoever) is the continuation of the RSK: no writer, journalist etc. can write (what he wants and be paid and reach old age) without the consent of the BND: *every* literary event in Germany is beshpitzelled by the BND (as the author’s magazine “lietart” printed before it suddenly disappeared), and *all* of this is done invisibly, not proclaimed as “law” as under good old naive Adolf, but as a “matter of fact”; finally, c. the lack of intellectual sophistication of the germ society results in accepting *everything* from above without thinking about it, or, God help us, doing anything against it. Vot kak – that’s why (#8)
Cheers

Sorry –
“Ester Berlin” = East Berlin, the title was “Die Andere”.
“lietart”‘s real name was “Der Literat”

Mathias Döpfner is not paid an annual salary of 11 million euro for nothing. His articles are not meant for the general public, I think. Rather they set guidelines for lower rank functionaries of the system who are responsible for the maintenance of the official narrative of the Empire.
Dear C, thanks for Sitrep from Germany, most interesting.
For any German readers on here, including Andrei alias Saker, this article struck me too, as something of interest for you to write about:
What’s behind Mark Zuckerberg’s hacker philanthropy? “There’s this huge moral component he said, we might as well go after all of it”
<a href=''http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/dec/03/mark-zuckerberg-facebook-tech-gods
Btw, In UK there are still some Bibles in the bedside cabinets of Hotels, very handy in cases of intruders when bible bashing comes in handy.
There are bibles in german hotels as well.
Zuckerberg is a scammer through and through, and this “philanthropy” wheeze is no exception. Check this article:
http://www.counterpunch.org/2015/12/03/phony-generosity-the-self-serving-charity-of-mark-zuckerberg/
Short version: 1. He’s 30; his pledge is to donate 99% of his Facebook stock some time before he or his wife die. Facebook might not exist by then.
2. He’s not planning to “donate to charity” at all. He’s planning to give to this new foundation which he owns and controls, which will invest in other companies (which in turn could be non-profits but don’t have to be); the foundation itself is not a charity or even a non-profit, it’s an ordinary limited liability corporation.
The headlines should be saying “Zuckerberg pledges to put money in new shell corporation, claims its investments will be for nice things”.
Thank you for breaking it down from the BS the media puts out.
Hate Facebook BTW, the policies it has to user data and also user interface, which is a constant evolving POS in computing user-ability terms.
If you must use a social network, VK is much more sane.
The problem is, there just isn’t much available on VK right now–and almost nothing in English. I keep hoping that more of my alt-media feeds on Facebook will set up shop on VK, but so far the only one to do so is Russell Bonner Bentley (‘Tex’ in Donbass). I already have a VK profile set up. I’m just waiting for more content! I’ve even friended a few Russians I don’t know just for the hell of it.
The following is a translation of Raniah Salloum’s article by C.:…..
I prefer Pepe Escobar’s version of events.
The stolen oil from ISIS/Daesh controlled areas are sold via Turkey and the CIA to recruit mercs,pay them,equip them and supply them.
Udo Ulfkotte explained quite clearly last year what people like Raniah Salloum are really about.
The same kind of rubbish is put out by Kirby/Harf/Psaki/Toner et al.
Springer is – like all controlled media in Germany and elsewhere in the West – CIA.
What more to say?
And Friede Springer is best friends with Angela Markel.
All you need to know about the german media is in this short youtube clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ntSxZatFv8
Unfortunately, I cannot find one with english subs, but even without understanding german you get the gist of it. It shows the relationship of the german print media with transatlantic think tanks in germany. As the show puts it a “transatlantic swinger club”. They even got sued for this. Austria’s media isn’t better.
Michel Ouellbeck, and not to forget Elena Chudinova’s book, “Paris Notre dame de Paris 2048”. a must read, even if fiction, there is something prophetic to it (some kind of Enoch Powell prophecy to it)
Note to the author, be very careful in using such oxymoronic term as Islamo-Fascism (by the way check your own spelling).
Do not alienate over a billion of Muslims supporting Iran and Russia in their resistance against the Anglo-Zionists . Be careful whoever you are because you sound like you ‘graduated’ from the pathetic US school of ‘journalism’.
Who wrote this article?
No name.
Cool.
14 times mentioned “west”.
Cool.
There is no “West”…and there is no “Anglo-Zionists”.
Why don’t you call spade a spade.
The spade is NATO and people responsible for ills are caled Natoists.
Natoists want to isolate, destabilize and wipe Russia off the map.
hopefully Cybr Berkut can verify all the Turkish situation, anyone got their number?

Mathias Döpfner, the CEO of the Springer Publishing House (BILD, WELT, etc.) wrote an article in 2014 on the occaison of the conferment of the “European B’nai B’rith Award”.
This article was published on “welt.de” with the following headline:
“Ich bin ein nicht-jüdischer Zionist” / “I’m a non-jewish Zionist”
(Source: http://www.welt.de/debatte/kommentare/article129001377/Ich-bin-ein-nichtjuedischer-Zionist.html)
There you see who’s ruling the German media and with it the German political parties!
valjean, that, in my opinion, is morally equivalent to boasting in, say, 1936, that ‘I am a non-German Nazi’.
Cannot figure this one out, so am looking for some help.
What is the true motive, the agenda, of the former head of the DIA?
Thanks
Below is a clip from an article:
http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2015/08/07/rise-of-islamic-state-was-a-willful-decision-former-dia-chief-michael-flynn/
Flynn: It was a willful decision to do what they’re doing.
Hasan himself expresses surprise at Flynn’s frankness during this portion of the interview. While holding up a paper copy of the 2012 DIA report declassified through FOIA, Hasan reads aloud key passages such as, “there is the possibility of establishing a declared or undeclared Salafist principality in Eastern Syria, and this is exactly what the supporting powers to the opposition want, in order to isolate the Syrian regime.”
Rather than downplay the importance of the document and these startling passages, as did the State Department soon after its release, Flynn does the opposite: he confirms that while acting DIA chief he “paid very close attention” to this report in particular and later adds that “the intelligence was very clear.”
Lt. Gen. Flynn, speaking safely from retirement, is the highest ranking intelligence official to go on record saying the United States and other state sponsors of rebels in Syria knowingly gave political backing and shipped weapons to Al-Qaeda in order to put pressure on the Syrian regime:
While European elites speak about “democracy” and “freedom”, there is no freedom and no democracy in Europe. True democracy is the political system of Ancient Athens. The modern european states are oligarchies governed as parliamentary republics, influenced mainly by the English parliamentary political system of the 17th- 18th century. The Western elites have co-opted ancient Athenian democracy and other ancient philosophical ideas and have distorted their meaning for their own purposes.
As economic globalisation and “european integration” deepens, countries are stripped of their economic and national sovereignty and major decisions are taken by unelected bureaucrats in Brussels. Therefore, the political systems of the european countries have degenerated into parliamentary dictatorships. The economic disaster that EU has inflicted to many souther european nations is a symptom of this process. It does not matter which party you vote. A country that is part of EU-Eurozone is obliged to implement only neoliberal policies because the institutional framework enforces neoliberalism (4 freedoms of EU etc).
All European states that are part of EU-NATO are vassals of USA. After the fall of USSR and the transition of Eastern Bloc countries from socialism to capitalism, all these countries became vassals of USA.
Now the process is that of EU and USA creating a huge free trade area for the benefit of multinational corporations. EU will gain more and more powers to dictate monetary/fiscal/tax policy upon member states. The impoverishment of most european people is certain, as we can see from the suffering of Greek, Portuguese, Spanish and Eastern European people.
Despite the massive setback and huge destruction that the fall of USSR caused upon Russian people and Russian influence, Russia remains one of the last bastions in favour of national sovereignty. If Russia surrenders to the West, then globalisation will prevail upon the world and the enslavement of all peoples to multinational corporations will be certain.
@xcvv
I agree. unfortunately. This is what we face. David Icke tells us the crucial years for the battle between these forces and those resisting will be the yrs 2016-2017-2018. Regardless of how you perceive David Icke, it’s worth watching his latest interview on the Richie Allen Show. Perfect description of Angela Merkel btw…..

So you think some old goat from 500 or so years ago predicted how things would turn out?
Nostradomus the man.. They came out with this stuff 15 years ago.. Even the black flags and the caliphate and CDO’s like erdo who actualy ended up as the second suspect wanted in connection with a shooting in california and it was on fox so it must be true….. Its deep to make such connections….
Putin save us all..
@mmirww,
If you are referring to Albert Pike, he was born Dec 29, 1809. So, his letter to Mazzini was not written 500 yrs ago. nor was the topic referring to Nostradamus…tho he may have been mentioned in passing during the conversation. but by mentioning zionism in his letter before it even existed is truly amazing and certainly should make us question…..how did he know about that?
Christine
Good rebuttal Christine, I appreciate your imput…
XCVV, ‘democracy’ and ‘Freedom’ are the two biggest jokes in the cosmos, just beating ‘Our Western Moral Values’. Every capitalist state is a plutocratic oligarchy, and ‘democracy’ a sick charade only believed in by congenital idiots, the totally brainwashed and merry pranksters. As for ‘Freedom’ -freedom for dollar bills, certainly, but people? It is to laugh!
Very true. But it also has to be pointed out that most of what you have outlined here has evolved with the full approval of the West’s vast majority. Spoiled rotten thriving on imperialist loot for generations, indeed convinced of their entitlement to even more of it, they are at a total loss trying to grasp the profound sea change taking place right now. Well, of course they always have their Masters’ firm “guidance” in the form of perpetuated, mindless Western psychobabble about TERRORISM, but the latter doesn’t really address their main concerns as petty bourgeoisie. As if the ascendancy of Russia and China wasn’t bad enough, their deeply revered Western Elites don’t bother to hide their utter contempt and scorn anymore — this is the very essence of “neoconservatism”. The ever faster rot and disintegration of Western society itself will destroy their bloated egos in truly excruciating pain.
Well ths is not surprising.. It still is amazing how they lie through the teeth but no one holds them to it. We know that since 1991 that western media to a tee lie through their teeth in line with the agenda of the government. In the last few years I have not found a single western media that tells the truth. Many of them I read for years without knowing because I thought they were “reporting” rather than printing prophaghanda. Large number of people now also know they lie which is why subscriptions are so low now and they are laying people off left and right. And it is not because of online news.. Hardly any place you can get any real reporting now. Which also puts you in doubt because if they were lying now about these things, what else have they lied about before.. I learnt long ago that history books are full of lies and false narratives. Heck they cant even get history straight from 50 years ago.. Dont expect any truth from the 500 or 1000 years ago.
You actually get more truth from the old stuff because a lot of the axes that old aren’t being ground any more. But there are exceptions; old history is still, for instance, almost entirely the history of kings and aristocrats because they still don’t want the lower orders getting ideas, and it’s still the history of the colonists, not the invaded, and so on.
You really don’t need crystal balls to see where humanity is heading. The concatenation of the ecological crisis of crises (climate destabilisation, oceanic acidification, biodiversity loss, massive, ubiquitous, pollution etc)the economic crisis of end-stage capitalism imploding under debt, inequality and insatiable elite greed, and the reckless geo-political aggression of the psychotic Western ‘elites’ does not bode well for the future. When the Western world, ruled by depraved monsters like Murdoch, Satan-yahoo, Obama, Cameron et al, demands that all humanity MUST follow its example-well the prospects are not good.
We have heard how the Prime Minister of Al Qaeda England, who is known as Caliphate Cameron accused the Leader of the Opposition of being a Terrorist Sympathizer.
Regrettably, this Accusation is Completely True, but it is also True of Most of the Members of the British Parliament including Depraved Dave, who is the Prime Minister of Greater England.
This is Why Depraved Dave Knew he was right Not to offer an apology of his True Accusation that the Leader of the Opposition is a Terrorist Sympathizer.
If Depraved Dave is made to make an apology, then it can Only be for the Purposes of Deception, in order to Sympathize with the Terrorists who are in the Parliament of Greater England.
The Scottish Parliamentarians know that the Scottish Independence Referendum was Rigged, and so they Voted against English Terrorism in Syria, because the Scots are acting as much as possible as if they are Independent of Britain, because they want their Independence from Britain, and they want another Independence Referendum that is Not Rigged this time.
The True Test of who is Not a Terrorist Sympathizer is someone who is willing to state the Real Motives of Al Qaeda England and of Al Qaeda America, along with the Actions of ISIL Turkey, ISIL Saudi Arabia, and ISIL Qatar, and to Impartially mention the True History of what has been happening in Syria, and what is currently happening in Syria.
Furthermore, someone who is Not a Terrorist Sympathizer will Refrain from Malicious Slander, because Malicious Slander is used by Terrorist Anglo-America to justify their Acts of Terrorism, and someone who is Not a Terrorist Sympathizer will Respect the Sovereignty of Nations, and they will Respect and Obey International Law.
The Leader of the Opposition, along with Many others in the Parliament of Greater England have been Proven beyond any doubt to be Evil Terrorists by these Very Modest and True Definitions of what constitutes the Difference between and Honest Person, and an Evil Terrorist.
We have seen the Malicious Slander by Al Qaeda Anglo-America, and there Allies who are the ISIL Countries of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, when the History of these Terrorists has been Far Worse than the False Accusations made against Syria.
Tyrannical ISIL Saudi Arabia is hosting a meeting of People that they want to use to try to overthrow the Democratically Elected Syria Government, whereas these are matters for the Syrian People to decide among themselves.
We have heard False Accusations that the Syrian President deliberately committed atrocities against his own People, but that is Malicious Slander, because he was fighting Anglo-American Sponsored Terrorism against Syria, and Al Qaeda Anglo-America say he should not exercise his Democratic Right and ask the Syrian Voters who know that he never wanted Conflict against anyone but that it was imported by Al Qaeda America and the ISIL Countries of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.
We know that the former Prime Minister of Greater England, Tony Blair, and the former President of America George Bush Deliberately went to murder hundreds of thousands of People in Iraq and Knowingly Based on Lies, and yet they were Candidates at their next Elections, and they won those Elections, and so another Feature of Terrorism is Provided by Anglo-America, which is that of having No Standards.
There is the False Claim by Al Qaeda Anglo-America, that there are moderate rebels, that could become the Government of Syria, but these People, while they are Not like ISIL, they are Not moderate, because there are Only 2 types of People in Syria, and these are the Honest and Law Abiding and Peace Loving People, and then there are the Terrorists of varying degree, with ISIL being the worst.
These so called moderate rebels in Syria do not have to fight against ISI if they do not want to, but they should Not fight against the People of Syria who have Democratically Elected the Legitimate Government of Syria in a Free and Fair Election.
Colonialist Al Qaeda France and Nazi Germany are European Union Countries who have Strong Cravings to do Evil and Injustice, because Germany was in favour of the Armenian Genocide committed by its Ally of ISIL Turkey, and for which Turkey should have admitted to and apologized for long ago if Turkey was not a Terrorist Country.
Turkey is concerned that the Kurdish People may want their Independence from the Terrorist Country of Al Qadea Turkey, and there are People who think that the Kurdish People were done a Great Injustice because they did not receive their own Country of Kurdistan, but are now in parts of Syria, Iran, and Turkey.
There could be People who think that the Kurdish People could Reforest the autonomous regions where they reside, and it would be to earn Money from Tourism and Agriculture, and it would put that region on the map, because Reforestation will noticeably cool that region and Prove that the Reforestation of Deserts will solve the urgent problem of Global Warming.
There are People who are concerned that Al Qaeda Anglo-America or Turkey or its Ally of Nazi Germany may want to use Syria to escalate this Foreign created and Sponsored Conflict to WW 3.
This is why there could be some People who think that it may become necessary to imprison or assassinate the Leaders of Anglo-America, and of France and Germany, and of Turkey and Saudi Arabia, in order to prevent the destruction of the Planet in WW 3.
We can now see why Most of the Politicians of Greater England are Terrorist Sympathizers and Terrorists, and this is also True of Al Qaeda America.,
People dont remember but assad wanted to revitalise the syrian economy and make it a trading hub like dubai.. A cross road for asia meeting europe.. One of the main reasons why he demilitarised the border with Turkey.. Syria was always allied with Iran so Iran was to supply the gas and oil.. Someone else made erdo a better deal to not let this happen and erdo being a maffia thug saw a chance to get rich on the loot.. hence why Syria says they were the first ones that got back stabbed by this ottoman criminal.. Too bad tammerlane did not stay to finish the job.
Lovely rant, but Corbyn is not Blair, and I think it’s rather unfair to just sort of generalize about him as just sort of generically part of the whole thing without suggesting anything he might have said or done that represents terrorist sympathizing. The man tells a lot more truth than is normally possible in British politics.
PLG, have you seen Nick Cohen’s rant against Corbyn in the Guardian today? Even for Cohen, who I regard as pure, undiluted, Judeofascist Evil and malignancy, the invective, hatred and outright lying is utterly deranged. The Judeofascists in particular are foaming at the mouth that their lust to destroy Syria is being thwarted, by evil Putin and Assad. It took a while, too, but Cohen, an unrepentant enthusiast for the genocide in Iraq and apologist for every Zionazi atrocity, got around to spewing hatred on Corbyn for being, naturally, an antisemite. That devolves from Corbyn’s refusal to treat all Palestinians as ‘human dust’, the only Zionazi approved approach. I rather fear that the notorious tendency of Judeofascists to grow maniacally belligerent and aggressive when thwarted (Moshe Dayan’s infamous ‘rabid dog’ tactic) is becoming more and more apparent, and, what with the Judeofascists’ dominance of sewer rags like the Guardian, it is infecting the whole Western MSM cancer. The march to war is becoming quite frenetic and unhinged, in a sort of global Masada Complex.
I hadn’t seen the one you’re talking about, but I saw one from the guy a few weeks ago in which he wrote off the entire left (which he seems to claim to be part of, the better to attempt its deconstruction I guess) entirely on the basis that (1) People were sometimes nasty to him in internet comments on his articles, and (2) That sections of the left, including Corbyn, were entirely too unenthusiastic about bombing and invading people, especially Muslim people. Really, there was nothing else to the article aside from some very nasty ad hominem against Corbyn right next to the part where he mourned how terrible it was that leftists were rude to him.
It amazed me at the time that someone could claim to be, or I suppose have been, part of the left and do a long article about how the left had become worthless, without ever once mentioning class, employment, poverty–actually, anything whatsoever about either the core economic issues leftist analysis is about or about people’s actual lives and what might be done to make them better. Pathetic.

Funny how that giant, trumpeting, pale blue elephant in the room was completely ignored in all that…
First: I am German
Second: I’m absoluty digusted with the German media for years.
Third: 70 years old by now, I thought I’ve seen a lot,- understand at least something. Being retired I have a lot of time to read. So a least every day four hours I spend on the computer, reading about politics and financial matters. For ten years now. All the fraud, killing and suffering. But I need to educate myself just to protect my life savings and family. I’m an expat now in one of asias quiet corners. I can live in relative peace. Everybody pays cash. Internet comes via fiber (fast)
People I meet point their fingers at local corruption and lack of (western) values. I only smile.
I finished Sakers book, – now its Pepe Escobar latest: Empire of chaos and five more chapters to go. Can not take more than one chapter a day.
Now to the post: “Turkey accused, Moskau does’nt show proof for oil trade with IS”
If you are not a lawyer you’ll need time to understand the lies and whitewash.
Putin did not accuse Turkey. Read the interview. He used the name Erdogan!
“Today the Russian President Putin gave his yearly address to the Russian Federal Assembly. In the context of terrorism and the shooting down of the Russian fighter in Syria he addressed some very harsh words to the Turkish President Erdogan:
[T]he Turkish people are kind, hardworking and talented. We have many good and reliable friends in Turkey. Allow me to emphasise that they should know that we do not equate them with the certain part of the current ruling establishment that is directly responsible for the deaths of our servicemen in Syria.
Dear Anon – nice comment…the crosstalk show from a couple of days ago has a news journalist in Ankara, discussing the current administration in Turkey…what a darling guy he is…such a wonderful face…and so sad….

When will there be a push for regime change in the USA and the NATO countries? For if Syria has a democratically elected government, observed by independent election monitors, labelled ‘regime’ then such a label could well be applied to all so called democratically elected governments. Let’s all start labeling the labelers as regimes too; The Obama Regime, the Cameron Regime, the Merkel Regime…and so on.
Syria is going to be thoroughly destroyed and carved up in classic vulture western pillage style. We are being prepared for the need to do so. The narrative is now entirely focused on the notion that a nation called Syria is the source of all evil in the world It produces terror like an apple tree generates apples. This needs to be assimilated.
“Daesh” is an omnipresent planetary hydra, one day mowing down Parisians in cafés, then showing up in San Bernardino in “words of allegiance”. And Trump keeps repeating he remembers dancing muslims all over New Jersey on 9/11…
Have you got the message that Syria is to blame? If not, you need to watch the news.
What a crazy world… pretty much everything is a lie.
On the front page of the British “The Guardian” newspaper: a picture of a young girl, and the caption: “five-year old victim of Russian airstrikes on Syria”.
Pictures of innocent children, of mother and child: smells like propaganda. That means they want to go to war.
passerby, you are so right. Even by the Guardian’s filthy standards since the Zionazis took it over, this article was evil. Sheer lying hate-propaganda, and open support for Daash. Stating that the Russian were deliberately, not accidentally, killing civilians. There is no doubt in my mind any longer that the elites of the West, the most Evil creatures ever to emerge on this planet, are slavering for a world war, either to destroy any surviving states that are not yet enslaved to ‘Western moral values’, or, if they cannot any longer rule the planet, then they will gladly destroy it a fit of rage.
I expect there is no depth the Guardian won’t sink to today. They used to have such a good reputation in the past. That many unknowing people are fooled by there new persona. It takes a little while before the reader realizes what they have become. At first I though “oh ,I guess they are trying to show both sides”. But then I saw that almost every story they published was a total Russophobic slander.And I perceived the hidden hand of the empire was behind it.
They were taken over by ‘hedge fund interests’-well we know what that means-Zionazis. And doesn’t it show. More putrid these days then the Daily Mail. Just read Nick Cohen’s typically vile-no, even more than usually vile- hate spew directed at Corbyn, today. As the Judeofascist, in my opinion a truly pure distillation of human and peculiarly Judaic evil, makes plain after some time, the hatred of Corbyn is based on his not treating the Palestinians with the required loathing and contempt expected of a loyal Sabbat Goy stooge. In so acting, of course, Corbyn ends up slandered as an antisemite, by association. Nasty stuff everywhere you look. The drive to war seems to have taken on an impulse of its own that seems irreversible, as certain unbalanced psyches reach a stage of real hysteria. Perhaps its old Thanatos exerting his dreadful spell.
You cannot enter most Arabic countries and Iran if your passport shows that you have been to Israel.
True. But it’s also true the Israel won’t let you in if you have a passport stamp from an Arab country or from Iran. Does Döpfner (Doofner?) not realize that we know this?
we need no left or right populism. We need a radicalization of society’s centre
Yes! Centrist totalitarianism–that’s exactly what we’ve got.
Actually, Raniah Salloum states, its Syria and Iraq that buy oil from Daesh on “industrial scale.” Does, she provides any evidence? No, she doesn’t.We just have to believe her.
Incidentally, the largest importer of oil from ISIS happens to be–drumroll please!–Israel.
A great Sitrep. I have noticed that Spiegel is rabidly anti- Russian. I mean, they really lack subtlety. Thanks C, for exposing their techniques.
I read in several places that Germany is about to “turn” and will soon join Russia and China. It makes a lot of economic sense for them. But if this were true wouldn’t the media slowly start softening their tone in order to adapt to the opinions of their viewers?
No Western regime will ever leave the Zionazi camp. None. Hoping for any such defection is pure madness.
“Btw, all journalists for Springer have to sign a declaration that binds them to say nothing critical about their transatlantic partnership and Israel,”
Really / wirklich?!
Here in Australia, for years, it was open policy at the Fairfax Empire that criticism of Israel was forbidden. At the Murdoch cancer it was explicit, but never needed to be stated. Rupert’s Will be Done. The general attitude now as then, in all the MSM, is that criticism of any Jew anywhere for any action, no matter how plainly malign, is ‘antisemitism’ ‘The Oldest Hatred’ born of bigotry and envy. Occasional deviations, as when Israel is carrying out an orgy of murder in Gaza, are met with tirades of abuse as ‘antisemitism’. It rarely fails to intimidate.
“all journalists for Springer have to sign a declaration that binds them to say nothing critical about their transatlantic partnership and Israel,”

Yes.

It’s open company policy.
Here is some new development:
1. German Intelligence Warns: Saudi Arabia Has “Destabilizing Role” In The Middle East
By Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-12-04/german-intelligence-warns-saudi-arabia-has-destabilizing-role-middle-east
2. The French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle will not be parked off Syria after all.
Instead of dropping anchors next to the Russian Missile Cruiser Moskva, it is going to the Persian Gulf.
Recently, NATO’s Breedlove was bitching about the Russian 400-mile impenetrable air-defense/radio-electronic bubble in Syria.
The Russians, it seems, are not willing to shut the bubble down, so the French (NATO) aircraft carrier would operate in their playground. So… In order to drop a single bomb in Syria, the French will have to fly all the way across Iraq now – a 1,200-miles round-trip.
Last week, Hollande should’ve gone directly to Russia, instead of going to Washington first.

@Scott,
that’s good news…thanks Scott

Germans have had 70 years to get their country under their own sovereign control. They have done nothing about it since Willie Brandt.
German officials are all tools of the Hegemon. The few that speak out against the government’s policies are rare, brave souls, but have little following.
Germans have become ‘good Germans’ again.
The real test is right to the East, Ukraine, where all the evil that Germany once wallowed in is rising again, killing innocents and parading around with no outrage from Germans.
It says all we need to know about Germans and Germany. Most, not all, are as sheepish as everyone else in the West.
The exemplar nation is Russia. They have a leader and national self-confidence. And they are shaming most other nations with their courage to confront the Hegemon, the hybrid wars launched against Russia and other nations, and the evil of Nazism.
Germans and Germany are again a sickening sight. Like Britain, Canada, Australia, and the rest of the capons and vassals that have no conscience and prefer to issue sanctions on the great countries fighting fascism and Islamic terror.
You mention Willy Brandt and “The German people”. I see the need to remind you that you do a disservice to the message you posted which gives a good picture of the current msm attitude.
Just half a year ago “Der Spiegel” faced strong criticism for its smearing campaign of Putin and Russia.
Under public pressure, the magazine promised change. The result ?
The slander, lies and filth is now more balanced.
There is no need to go in details. Just look what’s NOT reported.
For that I’m here. And I feel quite comfortable.
Let me give one current example how Vladimir Putin handles it:
“[T]he Turkish people are kind, hardworking and talented. We have many good and reliable friends in Turkey. Allow me to emphasize that they should know that we do not equate them with the certain part of the current ruling establishment that is directly responsible for the deaths of our servicemen in Syria.
We will never forget their collusion with terrorists. We have always deemed betrayal the worst and most shameful thing to do, and that will never change. I would like them to remember this – those in Turkey who shot our pilots in the back, those hypocrites who tried to justify their actions and cover up for terrorists.”
For all readers who are interested in what Willy Brandt stands for ( and yes, I agree,- he was the last one you could not even respect but love.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warschauer_Kniefall
“Kniefall von Warschau (German for “Warsaw Genuflection”) refers to a gesture of humility and penance by social democratic Chancellor of Germany Willy Brandt towards the victims of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
The event took place on December 7, 1970 in what was then the Communist People’s Republic of Poland during a visit to a monument to the Nazi-era Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. After laying down a wreath, Brandt, very surprisingly, and to all appearances spontaneously, knelt. He remained silently in that position for a short time, surrounded by a large group of dignitaries and press photographers.
Brandt had actively resisted the early Nazi regime, and had spent most of the time of Hitler’s reign in exile. The occasion of Brandt’s visit to Poland at the time was the signing of the Treaty of Warsaw between West Germany and the People’s Republic of Poland, guaranteeing German acceptance of the new borders of Poland. The treaty was one of the Brandt-initiated policy steps (the ‘Ostpolitik’) to ease tensions between West and East during the Cold War.
On the same day, Brandt signed the Treaty of Warsaw, which acknowledged the Oder-Neisse-Line as the final German border with Poland. Both actions attracted controversy within Germany, as did Ostpolitik in general, favored only by a narrow majority in public opinion. It was disputed within his own party, whose voters had included a significant proportion of expellees from the formerly German territories in Poland, most whom then went to the conservative parties.
According to a “Der Spiegel” survey of the time, 48% of all West Germans thought the “Kniefall” was excessive, 41% said it was appropriate and 11% had no opinion.The Kniefall was a symbolic action the opposition tried to use against Brandt, as in a Constructive Vote of No Confidence in April 1972, which Brandt won by only two votes. Brandt’s landslide win in the next elections in late 1972, was also due to the growing view among voters that Brandt’s Ostpolitik—symbolized by the Kniefall—and his reformist domestic policies were helping to boost Germany’s international reputation and should be supported. The SPD won its best federal election result ever.
Brandt was repeatedly interviewed about the genuflection and about his motives. He later noted that:
Under the weight of recent history, I did what people do when words fail them. In this way I commemorated millions of murdered people.”
No need to panique—says the mission will be “non-combat”.
Germany passes anti-ISIL mission, Hollande visits carrier
December 04, 2015, Friday/
German lawmakers on Friday overwhelming approved a broad non-combat mission to aid the coalition fight against the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), including reconnaissance jets and a frigate, following a call from France for support following last month’s attacks in Paris.
The 134 million euro ($145 million) mission will see two Tornado reconnaissance planes sent to Turkey’s İncirlik base as early as next week as part of a plan crafted by Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Cabinet earlier this week. The frigate is already en route to join French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle.

Russian MiG-35 Fighter Jets to Be Equipped With Brand New Navigation System
http://en.farsnews.com/newstext.aspx?nn=13940913000647
TEHRAN (FNA)- Russian multirole MiG-35 fighter jets will receive the latest platform-less inertial navigation system, CEO of the Moscow Institute of Electro Mechanics and Automation Alexei Kuznetsov said Friday.
“The MiG-35 will receive the navigation system. We have signed a contract, we have to put some samples for testing at the end of this — early next year,” said Kuznetsov, Russian news agency Sputnik reported.
The system is designed to determine the location of the object, complex processing and delivering navigation and flight information. The system is able to determine the coordinates and parameters of an object in the autonomous mode and in the absence of terrestrial, marine or space signals, Sputnik reported.
All right; for starters the pompous “Liebe Leserinnen, liebe Leser” coming straight from the very Chief Execrable Offal in person could be re-phrased as “Stimme aus dem Sumpf”. Overrated dregs are dregs all the same.
“It’s hard to say if he is this brainwashed himself, or whether he knows that he is misleading people.”
My take is, bluntly, that both alternatives apply in full. Of course, as a hired, handsomely rewarded charlatan he has a firm commitment to the totally rotten interests being promoted. Bribery breeds consent and cynicism. I simply cannot for the life of me imagine anyone in Mathias Döpfner’s position addressing his audience as “Liebe Leserinnen, liebe Leser” in any other mood but monumental, overwhelming contempt and ridicule. Yet it seems entirely plausible to me that he honestly subscribes to Western lies and imbecilities. Here goes:
“The sequence of ‘Charlie Hebdo’ and the attacks of Friday, November 13, is psychologically the European Nine Eleven.”
This pronunciamento actually does have some — unintended — merit. To wit: The imperialist French and Pindo Big Business governments heavily addicted to ceaseless war and plunder abroad thought that it might be a good idea to let their own chauvinistic home populations enjoy something “more tangible”, for a change. And if there’s something that really adds insult to injury with regard to the Imperial Pride of the Western petty bourgeoisie it’s losing, by forceful means, the sweet illusion of imperialism’s benign protection. Needless to say, this is not exactly what Axel-Springer’s CEO had in mind. Far from it.
“Then the political coup: The leader of a Muslim party is elected president. The hero or anti-hero of the book converts to Islam – more due to a need for complacency than fear. The Submission.”
Same kind of Whitey Pity Party siege crap as in Jean Raspail’s Camp of the Saints back in the 70’s. Well, Mathias Döpfner: In your case, the above perspective is, in fact, quite troubling. It’s not very likely after all that a media conglomerate whose internal regime is codified in a declaration which binds its hired pens to say nothing critical about the transatlantic partnership and Zionism will curry much favour with growing Muslim commmunities. You’re on the proverbial losing side of History. But, more importantly, by siding with Western imperialism and Zionism against Russia and Syria you’re doing a great disservice both to Europe and the world. You reap what you sow.
“The Western democracies face a fateful question: How to actually defend our often cited freedom? Or more archaic: Submit or fight? And if it is fight we choose: How?”
Terribly sorry, but this kind of preposterous, sanctimonious drivel doesn’t impress quite the way it used to thanks to neoliberalism, unrestrained war, and surveillance duly promoted by Oligarch media such as AS. You can’t have it both ways, even though I understand your splendid paycheck isn’t dependent on any honest intellectual effort; quite the opposite.
“The non-democratic regimes of this world are often led in a virile and decisive manner, the democratic societies are often too weak, indecisive and hesitant. Russians, Chinese and most Islamic states know what they want and put that into action. Most democracies seek dialogue and compromise with and applause from their citizens.”
Haha, suffice it to say that the “virility” and “resolve” of a Western Media CEO certainly come a cropper compared to what can be seen in peoples, countries, and leaders having a just cause to fight for. Again: Bribery breeds consent and cynicism. It’s a sure recipe for degeneracy. Putin and Assad are duly and truly rewarded by applause from the citizenry, at home and abroad. Western CEOs — well, maybe not that much these days.
“The consequence of this policy is inaction in Syria. It’s a stand-off in Iran. It’s looking the other way in the radicalized parts of Africa. It’s a ‘welcome-culture’ in Germany – without any concept.”
Bet you didn’t expect “European values” a.k.a. imperialist war would ever be accompanied by High Treason from within the warmongering Western elites, eh? Get a grip of yourself at last.
“Millions of refugees a year cannot be integrated, not even by the most potent and tolerant society.”
I think you have a point there, Herr Döpfner. As I hinted at earlier, the refugees are not the people who will make up the bulk of your “Liebe Leserinnen, liebe Leser”, no matter how potent and tolerant the Corporation under your awesome direction.
“Is it acceptable to shoot down the plane and kill 164 innocent people to save 70.000?”
Now it becomes interesting. Included as per Freudian slip? It wasn’t Putin who said it, mind you.
“If the attacks in Paris, the assault in the heart of Europe, will be a wake up call for policies of strength of the West, for watchful pride of the enlightenment, constitutional law and human rights and their active defense – this scare might result in something good.”
Fine. But there is a little pesky problem here. The minds of the drooling flag-wavers are already totally saturated by “Policies of strength” a.k.a. “War on Terror”. Hence, more of the same — save species extinction — will not mean much politically. But, as I said before, your handsome paycheck is not conditioned upon any honest intellectual effort; quite the opposite.
Fascinating exposure of BILD propaganda reporting. Very alarming considering the US/UK/Israel are using Nazi tactics to use US created ISIS to terrorise Europe into submission. In the past one hundred years, if I am correct, Germany has made three serious efforts to take over Europe. The article illustrates this is could be the third time.
