SouthFront Youtube Channel Is Under Attack
,
“Today, once again we together have become a target of another trick deliberately perpetrated on SouthFront: Analysis & Intelligence in order to damage our capabilities to disseminate an independent view on the main developments of the world.
This time YouTube has deleted one of our old videos “Foreign Policy Diary ‘War on Terror’ [remastered]” released on April 30, 2015 (!!!), because it allegedly includes some content “violating Youtube Community Guidelines”…

Please Scroll below the 2 “lengthy” Articles from: mmiriww and Uncle Bob1, to realize:
A mega propaganda campaign has been started by Western MSM against Russia and Syria, in order to gain support in the western population for (NATO) attacks (no fly zone) in Syria.

It has the one man dress shop quoted (Syrian Observatory..) so, by definition, it must include propaganda.
Looks like an ‘all hands on deck’ situation for sure, since i’ve now seen just these past 24 hours a few of the usual suspects crowd now explicitly howling about Turkey ready to pull a FF against Russia/SAA , & this one has never up to now said anything about the war since the very start there in 2011, let alone Sept 2015 when Russia came in openly.
Nor did he forewarn about any of the FF in any other theater that happened.
As noted by many, we must be really close to a big bank imploding, & they’ve all been given their song sheets to sing from.

Some of us wonder if Moscow doesn’t want Turkey to invade. Here is something that seems to imply that Russia would not hit Turkish forces if they invaded.
“Considering the fact that the Turkish forces are not attacking the Russian military personnel in Syria, Moscow will not enter into a confrontation with Ankara, according to the Defense and Security Committee head.”

Also this from RT
https://www.rt.com/news/332477-assad-democratic-reforms-violence/
Assad could have quelled Syria violence with timely democratic reforms – Russian diplomat
Russian diplomat is deputy foreign minister.
Some time ago I did a little research on the beginnings of the Syrian uprising. US ambassador Ford was out on the streets of Syria urging on protestors same as Pyatt in Ukraine.
I searched for old news articles on the first deaths in the protest. The only article I could find from the day of the first deaths was an Israeli news site. According to that (off memory) 7 security personnel and 4 protestors were the first casualtys, similar to Ukraine.
It seems that from the time Ambassador Ford went out onto the streets in the seat of the muslim brotherhood in Syria to whip up anti government sentiment, nothing Assad could have done other than run away would have changed what was planned for Syria. Now colour revolutions are known and understood, but at the time….
Syria was a pretty repressed state. Not by the standards of many countries but they lived under war time and security laws which made disappearances a non event. Which basically means those in power could do what ever they wanted. Now I have found those in power can do what they want to any of us without consequences. But there is the appearance. Many people would fight me about how free the US is.. Because that is what they believe.. Does not matter that some cop can shoot you dead and then make up a story and nothing will happen. But we saw that some cop got beaten up by other cops and he got a few mil in damages.. Rare but it happens, that will never happens in places like Syria. Although the occurrence of such things happening in Syria are rarer. But people just assume the opposite because well that odds are in their favor. See even if more people are in jail in the US than Syria, but the US is free’ier.. Because well there is a process in the US where if you are rich enough you can fight the system wasting all the money you have trying.. It is important to understand this psyche. The matrix explains this as our unconsciousness making it acceptable to us that there is hope.. Where as, even if the occurrence is less common, we are not free because we have no such option in places like syria.
Syria was in the cross hairs first because they were blamed for some assassinations in Lebanon and put under sanctions because of interfering in other counties blah blah blah and they withdrew their troops from there. But targeting them did not stop there. We know that the US overthrew the Syrian government even in the 50’s just like in Iran and other countries. So undermining the government and interfering in its affairs was a full time CIA job. Same in Iraq as well.. So contacts with terrorists was a full time job for half a centaury..
This part was well hidden since even now we see very few articles which look at events from a news perspective. But it does show that it was already well developed.. I seen one article by someone who did research on this and from that we find that things were organised for years before anything was showing, weapons were smuggled in and hidden, terrorists were trained and put into sleeper cells. And this was different than before because foreign money was used in a big way to organize the Muslim brotherhood to take power and place selected candidates into power. What was different was it came after the carnage in Iraq and Libya and people did not want to see that happen. But they still had no idea for an year that it was foreign financed terrorists who started this.
So when people started wanting reforms, it was more social reforms because of the droughts. Now how much more benefits they could have is a good question, they already had free schooling and health care and such things.. More democracy would not have made any difference to those affected by the droughts.. But like in Ukraine, it appears that if they can be European, then maybe they get some free money and live like on social welfare.. But it looked like the government did not care about the suffering.. Nothing you could do to get the government to listen.. Not that in places like the US or EU, the government would listen but what do you expect them to do because your house burned down? They used this excuse that the government don’t listen to get people into the streets.. Assad himself already wanted other reforms like less government control over the economy so more people had the chance to start industries and growth. As we see, the terrorists were not interested in the lives of the people, what they wanted was control over the people themselves instead of the current government. And that control was far worse than what existed.. They don’t want reforms in the economy or governance or laws.. Their own version of a power trip.. Nothing to do with democracy as we see in so called rebel held areas where chopping off hands is a common punishment.. So this is what they are fighting for, to make sure women don’t walk about wearing bikini’s but in a burka.. To tell others what they can and can not do according to their own set laws. Where a small minority by force wants to impose their will onto others. But because of the agenda, that is democracy to the west.. That repressive warlordism we see in FSA held areas is the wests version of democracy that people want..
The droughts were only partially caused by climate change: The main cause was the construction of dams in Turkey.
Show me a country thats truly free? It is easy enough to spot the countries that were brought ‘peace and freedom by Team ….Team Chaos!…phillipines,Vietnam,japan,korea,Russia,Germany,Yugoslavia,Iraq,Libya,ukrine,Gaza,Egypt,Syria,iran,Ireland…never-ending and nevermind who brought peacee and prosperity to the incas,indians who did not ask for it?it is allways..them yes them against us,…Onece you blacken ,them, you are in war…first it wasn’t that bad…just the priest or a politician…but now you have the…”all seeing all knowing corporate media”..dont drink the kool aide!…i have become dead!
Is the Gatilov on that RT article one of “liberals”? Off hand, I’m not familiar with him or his previous public positions. His claim that Assad could have prevented the zionazis siccing their terrorists on Syria by instituting reforms is ludicrous, however, whatever his other expressed views have been.
I see a disconnect it what they “should” do.And what they “will” to as well.I know there is talk about Syria being covered by the USSR defense Treaty (or agreement) with Syria. But that’s just empty words. If the RF wants to do nothing, they will do nothing. They’ll say the USSR doesn’t exist anymore. And if they want to do something ,they’ll say “well we have a treaty with Syria”.It is purely if they “want “to use it,whether it exists.
Imagine for a moment the reverse,What would happen if Syria started to shell rebel camps in Jordan and launched an invasion of Jordan. What would be the US response. I can tell you right now. They would ,without even a thought,destroy those artillery positions and the invading force. And they would be correct under international law.It is no different with Syria.Russia should have given the Turks an ultimatum to stop the shelling. And told them pointblank that an invading force against Syria would be destroyed at once. And if Turkey didn’t stop from that,then “stop them”.
For two years now (4 in Syria) we’ve seen one weak action after the other. Certainly as we see, Russia has come in with air strikes and needed equipment and training help for Syria. But really what has that accomplished towards ending the foreign support for the terrorists. If the foreign aid for terrorism was stopped.The SAA would mop up the terrorist gangs and the killing would end. But since nothing has been done to stop that aid .All we see now is a slow grueling death match. That is eating the heart out of Syria. And now the anti-Syrian forces are upping the war.
We now are near the point where either “giving up” or “fighting” are the only two choices available.Turkey,Saudi Arabia,and the other stooges should have been warned years ago that they would be in war (beyond a doubt) if they continued their aggression. Since they weren’t we have the situation today. And I don’t see the will to really win the war coming out of Moscow. At the best I see them aiming at another (as I have constantly condemned) “frozen conflict”. If anyone can point to a single frozen conflict that has brought real peace and stability to any country that is involved it them. I don’t know which one that would be.
” #Russia/n Air Force will hit #SaudiArabia and #Turkish ground forces if these walk into #Syria without prior coordination”. Quote.
Something I see happening that I suspect is by design rather than accident. Russia moved into Syria not long after the Pentagon stated there were no moderate rebels in Syria.
Putin first showed up the US “anti ISIS coalition” effort as at best very half hearted and he had a fair amount of public support in the west.
Then putting up evidence of the oil trade between ISIS and NATO member Turkey. After Russia destroyed a lot of the tanker convoys and posted the videos, the western press reported that ISIS had halved its fighters salaries.
Now we see Turkey militarily intervening to protect supply routes to al Qaeda and ISIS.
Putin has publicly displayed the US and its “allies” in all their glory for the western public to see and no amount of MSM propaganda can hide from the average punter what is really going on.
Guardian recently reopened comments on Syria articles.. propaganda/opinion pieces that have nothing to do with reality and were simply ridiculed in the comments.
yet VP has not yet? published those details of 40 countries who have actively funded the terrorists……….time to do so
USA TODAY.
2016.02.15
In an incident Today, Doctors without Borders said that a hospital it funds in the town of Maarat al-Numan, in Idlib province in the north of Syria, was hit by four rockets in at least two attacks, killing at least seven people and leaving at least eight staff members missing and presumed dead.
It said around 15 buildings in the area were also hit.
It didn’t say who carried out the strikes.
In a separate incident Today, at least 14 people died when a children’s hospital and a school in the rebel-held town of Azaz in northwestern Syria, near the Turkish border, were struck by missiles, Reuters reported, citing a medic and two residents.
Abu Mohamed, a civil defense officer in Azaz, said Russian warplanes launched strikes on parts of the town Monday, Turkey’s state-run Anadolu news agency reported.
The reports couldn’t immediately be verified.
———————————————————————————————————————
Danish National TV: DR.
2016.02.15
DR broadcasts the exact same news story, as peddled by USA TODAY.
But DR states separately:
President of Medicin sans Frontier France claims that the 2 attacks today, against MSF hospitals were done by Russian or Syrian Fighter planes.
DR also claim’s that 3 previous attacks against MSF hospitals in other parts of the world, also has been executed by Russia or Syria.
Western media has krept quiet about the Turkish Artillery bombardment of Syrian towns and military beginning Saturday. In stead, the Western populations are led to believe that Russia and Syria has breached the Munich agreement by Attacking Hospitals and schools.
A. Dane
And we are dammed to believe that everything will be fine and quiet…
So, the civil defence officer, Is he an armed moderate opposition, which terrorist opposition does he belong too……….I really hope that this not a genuine mistake of those fighting for Syria’s freedom…..if a false flag, somehow MSF seem to be always the target of someone almost deliberately……..
The Syrian Ambassador to Russia has just said they have evidence that US & co did the shelling.
This looks like a terrorist op gone bad. They just received new rockets and seems they tried to fire a few and it went wild.. We seen many tochka missiles fired by terrorists go wack.. They don’t have the training or personal to know how to use or maintain them.
RuAF uses rockets not missiles. And these look like they are bigger than the planes. To use rockets the planes/helo’s have to be close and very visible. The US/UK/French uses missiles.. But just from seeing how desperate the terrorists are now to cause pain on the Syrians kicking their butts, they might have tried to fire a few.. Just like I bet many chemical attacks in so called rebel areas are misfired chemical munitions. And only 1 MSF funded hospital.. the other was a children’s hospital by someone else.
We know the west peddles nonsense as “news”..
yup, guy on beeb radio 4 this morning says Rus has bombed 60 hospitals where “wounded warriors are recovering ” instead of targeting Daesh…………crazeeeeeee
No different on Dutch radio.
I listen it at work, every 30/60 minutes channels will feature a few minutes of ‘news’.
Since a few months they’ve become so blatant it is simply staggering for ones informed.
“Russian bombardments today have killed more then 200 civilians in Aleppo.”
“Russians have deliberately bombed a hospital operated by Doctors without Borders.”
“Today saw the fiercest Russian bombardment on the Syrian opposition as of yet. The Russians are bombarding in order to keep dictator Assad in power. Assad is a Russian ally.”
Every day now. Average Dutch slaves – sorry citizens – react surprised when I say I don’t believe the radio.
Right now in prime time, night news, Basque TV :
*MSF President saying that was Russia and Syrian government forces who bombed their hospital….
And then,
*Appears Davutoglu saying that “Russia is behaving like ISIS”….
And then, conductor says,
*After the agreed ceasefire is only Russia who remains bombing and that many civilians have been injuried in Azaz.
Obviously a coordinated effort from NGOs, Turkish officials and MSMs, even in the most lost corner of Europe, in demonizing Russia.
I wonder how he knows the president of MSF that have been the Russians who have bombed the hospital. Clearly, MSF continues to be a pawn of the AngloZionist Empire, whose representatives always appear on TV in the most favorable moments to benefit Empire´s propaganda.
A new and extremelly detailed briefing of Gen. Konashenkov is needed here!
…”–Medecins Sans Frontiers/Doctors Without Borders: “Doctors Without Borders is fully funded by the very same corporate financier interests behind Wall Street and London’s collective foreign policy, including regime change in Syria and neighboring Iran.
Doctors Without Borders’ own annual report (2010 report can be accessed here), includes as financial donors, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, Google, Microsoft, Bloomberg, Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital, and a myriad of other corporate-financier interests. Doctors Without Borders also features bankers upon its Board of Advisers including Elizabeth Beshel Robinson of Goldman Sachs.
Complicating further Doctors Without Borders so-called “independent” and “aid” claims is the fact that their medical facilities are set up in terrorist held regions of Syria, especially along Syria’s northern border with NATO-member Turkey.
In an interview with NPR, Doctors Without Borders’ Stephen Cornish revealed the nature of his organization’s involvement in the Syrian conflict, where he explains that aid is being sent to regions outside of the Syrian government’s control, and that his organization is in fact setting up facilities in these areas…
.In other words, the Wall Street-funded organization is providing support for militants armed and funded by the West and its regional allies, most of whom are revealed to be foreign fighters, affiliated with or directly belonging to Al Qaeda and its defacto political wing, the Muslim Brotherhood.
This so-called “international aid” organization is in actuality yet another cog in the covert military machine being turned against Syria and serves the role as a medical battalion.” [citation from: “Doctors” Behind Syrian Chemical Weapons Claims are Aiding Terrorists]”…
https://ingaza.wordpress.com/2015/09/12/human-rights-front-groups-humanitarian-interventionalists-warring-on-syria/
Usually, the inclusion of the phrase, “without borders”, is basically a signifier the org represents Jewish zionist interests first, and whatever their claimed role a distant second and essentially just a cover for their covert role.
The Same Thing in Germany msm ! BS…
“I wonder how he knows the president of MSF that have been the Russians who have bombed the hospital.”
There are no MSF personal in Syria. According to a PDF download available at their site, MSF pulled all personnel out of Syria in 2014 due to the danger of being kidnapped by “rebels” or ISIS. MSF supplies funding are handed over at the Turkish border.
Either they are taking the word of the rebels in who’s company they are not safe or they are part of the scam.
Apparently the building was a makeshift clinic that MSF supported. Perhaps it was a clinic but no sign of any hospital equipment could be seen in pics although the building was collapsed.
My other thoughts – if this was a makeshift clinic, how long had it been a clinic?
– Russian MoD have said that they use local on the ground intel for targeting. How easy for the bad guys to put a mole in the system and feed bad intel?

Idlib is below allepo to the west turk supported al queda/fsa rat infested dungeon.. complete terrorist occupied area..
A10’s bombed hospital in allepo and blamed Russians before, near IS held area..
Aziz is north near turk border.. where SDF/YPG have it surrounded… turks are also shelling the area..
MSF don’t operate anything in Syria.. Supplies terrorists to bandage their own gunshots.. A staging area for terrorist medical supplies were bombed months back..
Russians don’t operate missiles in Syria. But terrorists and militias do. Means both good and bad guys do things they have no idea how to do. Blowing themselves up is common. Saw tochka missiles being fired, might be that.. But not fired by SAA/Russians.. could be SDF/kurds? others don’t operate that far north, not even the SAA/Syrian soldiers.. Russia wants Kurds to occupy north for now.
Elsi
Of course it was. Besides dropping supplies for their zionazi massa’s terrorists, commiting falseflag attacks, which the Jewish owned/managed zio-gay propaganda machine can hype as Russian/Syrian, is what the pindo jailhouse sukas do.

However it was here, that for the first time Kerry uttered a warning which until recently would have been branded as borderline xenophobic by the same abovementioned left-wing media, when Kerry warned that the mass influx of refugees and other migrants into Europe spells a “near existential threat” to the continent.
“We are facing the gravest humanitarian crisis in Europe since World War II,” he said at the conference. “The United States understands the near existential nature of this threat to the politics and fabric of life in Europe,” he told the meeting as reported by The Local.

Syria: Battle for Aleppo, Erodgan’s War on Kurds, Syria Endgame; Bernie, Hillary, and Public Opinion
Eric Draitser of StopImperialism.org appears on CPR Sunday with security analyst Mark Sleboda, and broadcaster Don DeBar to discuss the latest global developments. The conversation opens with discussion of the ongoing battlefield developments in Syria, including the assault on Aleppo and the cutting of terrorist supply lines. They touch on Turkey’s brutal campaign against the Kurds and the potential of a Turkish invasion of Syria. Eric, Mark, and Don round out the discussion with some analysis of the US presidential election and public opinion in the US.
http://stopimperialism.org/syria-battle-aleppo-erodgans-war-kurds-syria-endgame-bernie-hillary-public-opinion/
This is like CrossTalk on turbo. Don DeBar, Mark Sleboda and Eric Draitser are all top pros. Always great intel. 60 minutes. Essential.
A Russian Air Force Tu-214R is about to land at Latakia, Syria.
The Tu-214R is a Russian ISR (Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance) aircraft. In other words, a quite advanced spyplane.
As we have already explained here in the past, it is a special mission aircraft equipped with all-weather radar systems and electro optical sensors that produce photo-like imagery of a large parts of the ground: these images are then used to identify and map the position of the enemy forces, even if these are camouflaged or hidden.
The aircraft is known to carry sensor packages to perform ELINT (Electronic Intelligence) and SIGINT (Signal Intelligence) missions: the antennae of the Tu-214R can intercept the signals emitted by the enemy systems (radars, aircraft, radios, combat vehicles, mobile phones etc) so as it can build the EOB (Electronic Order of Battle) of the enemy forces: where the enemy forces are operating, what kind of equipment they are using and, by eavesdropping into their radio/phone communications, what they are doing and what will be their next move.
The aircraft is built by KAPO (Kazan Aircraft Production Association) and flown from the company’s airfield in Kazan.
On Feb. 15, the Tu-214R registered RA-64514, serial number 42305014, the second of the two examples of this kind of aircraft built under contract with Russia’s Ministry of Defense, flew from Kazan to Latakia airbase, Syria.

wot happenz……………………
UNITED NATIONS, February 16. /TASS/. Russia has presented at the UN Security Council on Monday an “express review” of the most flagrant cases of disregard for international law by the United States and the UK. The list covering events from the mid-20th century to the present day has been read out by Russia’s deputy permanent representative to the UN Pyotr Ilyichev in response to accusations against Moscow over developments in Ukraine and Crimea’s reunification with Russia.
“Some delegations have spoken today of violations of the principles of the UN Charter unsubstantially accusing Russia of this. To prevent this wishful thinking from creating the wrong impression, let me make an ‘express review’ of the most flagrant cases of disregard for international law, including the purposes and principles of the UN Security Council over the past few decades, the more so since they have apparently been forgotten,” the diplomat said at the debate dedicated to maintaining international peace and security.
UN condemnation
He drew attention, in particular, to Britain’s bombing of the Yemeni city of Harib in 1946, noting that the UN Security Council condemned these actions in its Resolution 188 “pointing to the incompatibility of reprisals with the purposes and principles of the UN Charter.” “In 1983, the United States carried out an armed invasion of Grenada. The General Assembly, in its Resolution 37/8, called these US actions ‘a flagrant violation of international law.’ Many people probably know about the response by the then US President [Ronald Reagan – TASS] to this document that the news did not spoil his appetite at breakfast,” Ilyichev said.

According to him, in 1986 the United States carried out an attack against Libya and in 1989 invaded Panama. In both cases these actions were met with condemnation from the UN General Assembly, which qualified them as a violation of international law.
The Russian diplomat noted that violations of the UN Charter were registered by the International Court of Justice as well. “For example, in the first in its history decision on the 1946 case of Corfu Channel the court recognized that the UK had violated Albania’s sovereignty. The ruling on the 1986 Nicaragua vs US case is well-known. The court pointed out bluntly that the US had violated Nicaragua’s sovereignty and the norms of non-interference in internal affairs and non-use of force,” Ilyichev said.
From Yugoslavia to Syria
According to Ilyichev, “irresponsible attitude” of the US and its allies to the UN Charter continued and resulted in the bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999 and the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Then came Libya where “with allegedly disinterested outside help the fire broke out that destroyed the state leaving ashes and chaos in its place,” the diplomat said.

He noted that “it was such unlawful interference in the form of illegitimate air strikes or arms deliveries to non-government armed groups” that led to the growth of radical sentiment in Syria that ultimately “resulted in the emergence and strengthening of such terrible phenomena” as the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group (banned in Russia).
“The effects of the invasion of Libya and Syria are striking in their scope. These are terrible suffering of civilians, the destruction of the cultural heritage of mankind and the unprecedented migrant crisis,” Ilyichev said.
He went on to say that 70 years after the end of World War II the basic principles underlying the system of international relations “are becoming an inconvenient obstacle for some and, as a result, are exposed to all sorts of interpretations or are just sidestepped.” “Apparently, the presumption of their own exclusiveness have long made it possible for some countries to put themselves above the purposes and principles of the UN Charter,” the diplomat said referring to a well-known remark of US President Barack Obama about the “exclusiveness” of the American nation.

“Exercise Shamal Storm will test the UK’s readiness to launch another invasion on the scale of the 2003 Iraq War.”

“SHAMAL STORM ’16 will see the deployment of over 1700 British Army personnel, from across a wide variety of units from Force Troops Command and 3 [UK] Division, in a large scale Combined Arms battlegroup exercise. C&S understands the multinational exercise in the Middle East will run through March and April.”
March and April! It took a little digging to find a rough date for the exercise, because it’s conspicuously missing from all the mainstream articles on the subject. The timeframe fits with the Turkish/Saudi war preparations.
Spread the word! I think we need to descend upon the comments sections of popular mainstream news websites, because there is a media blackout, with the exception of commentary by heads of defence think tanks like RUSI (calling for a ground invasion of Syria).

Check out the comments section for that article though. No wonder there’s a news blackout because the educated section of the population understand what’s going on and they don’t want a military confrontation with Russia. We must force this information into the public consciousness. Post as many comments to the news sites as you can, preferably only people outside Western adversary nations, because if too many Russians turn up then they have an excuse to close all the comments sections (blaming “Putinbots”, or whatever bullshit).
Also, if you are in the West, email/write/telephone your local politicians utilising the links I’ve posted above to explain what’s happening — and tell them you want no fucking part of it!
OT (Satire)
Going through the comments here can be, at times, quite tedious. About half of the posts read something like this:
“The Guardian of Zion wrote XYZ. Shock, horror! Should i be optimistic and hide in the bunker or shoot myself right away? ”
And then we find this – equally annoying – pattern:
“Shoigu made 3 mistakes, Lavrov 7, and Putin, i am afraid to say, 26. Let me go through the list point by point…”
:-)
The complete collapse of terrorists in northern Aleppo is happening right now!
The Kurds, with Russian close air support, are on a roll and are taking village by village. The SAA is doing exactly the same. Tel Rifat liberated. Aleppo Power station liberated. Etc. etc.
Game over for Daesh in northern Syria!
