Dearest Nora, American Kulak, know the truth and other friends:
Thank you all for your concerns about me and my family. I live in a country which is truly heaven on earth. My wife is from USA, and we could live in USA, but we choose to live here. The Shia population in my country is less than 3%, but we have always lived in peace and harmony in my country. Thanks to the ruling class and the good people of my country.
I try to keep away from politics as much as possible, if you catch my drift. To discuss religion, it is somewhat OK.
Muslims lived in peace for centuries with each other including the Christians and Jews. And, we will do this again too.
One has to see what happened to Obama’s policies after the blow back in Benghazi, Libya. Then trace each and every country I have mentioned in my earlier post. See what has happened in those countries since Benghazi. Add, Israel to the list too. Presently, Netanyahu is fighting for his political life.
Dear sister Nora, I have a bone to pick with you. ~:). Why would you include Israel in those 120 countries and exclude Palestine. Sisters and brothers can have ups and downs too! lol.
Best regards,
Mohamed.
At least 49 dead. Surprising Kiev would admit it.

Probably 49 troops in downed transport according to Kiev war mongers.
Jets flying recon over Lugansk. The people below will catch more hell from the air and ground.
I believe with the Mariupol reversal today there will be a supply from across the border, better Intel for the militia and a few FSB and Green Men specialists to take down the Swedish sniper Mike, heard speaking English during the firefights.
This is a bloody low intensity conflict which will continue to take civilians caught in the urban battles.
There was a call for prayer and I believe that one thing all people can do is meditate and pray for the citizens, the combatants and the political leadership.
When your focuses on the propaganda, the news, the videos, the photos and the discussions on the blogs, take that moment to focus spiritual energy and reinforcement for the humanity caught in the war.
We, here, are certain we are on the side of God, on the side of justice and history will prove us correct.
But Ukraine, Donbass, New Russia is caught between God and Satan. Prayer is the one thing the rest of us can do for live souls caught in the middle.
The American government has lost its soul. Pray for checkmate from countervailing forces. It could be economic, it could be natural disaster, it could be enlightenment, it could be political upheaval or it could be a Lone Assassin.
There is no reason behind the policy to fight a proxy war with Russia. Russia has made huge foreign gains, economic gains and will reap the geopolitical rewards of America stumbling and losing ground everywhere it invested billions, blood and ideology. Iraq will soon be followed by Afghanistan reversing into chaos.
Karma is a bitch.
American Kulak said…,
“Glad to hear you are well. So if I’m not mistaken, ISIS and Al-Nusra calling each other kuffars might have something to do with the former being funded by Saudi Arabia and the latter by Qatar?”
Dear brother Ameriki,
Both the ideologies of Wahhabis and Muslim Brotherhood are from ibn Taymiyyah. He lived in about 12/13 centuries. The Sunni Muslims imprisoned him due to his fanaticism and literally threw away the keys in the ocean. Due to Petro-dollars, he is God today:
Ibn Taymiyyah: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibn_Taymiyyah
Wahhabism: Our Masters the Brits, revived ibn Taymiyyah during 18th century, through Muhammad ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhab and the House of Saud.
Muhammad ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhab: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_ibn_Abd_al-Wahhab
All three, al-Qadea, ISIL (ISIS) and Jabat al-Nusra are branches of Wahhabism.
Muslim Brotherhood: Was created by Hassan al-Banna during the 20th century. It was not as radical, so it was tolerated. It was Muslim Brotherhood who rose against Assad of Syria with Qatar leading it. Qatar is tiny and next to Saudi Arabia, therefore they support Muslim Brotherhood.
Hassan al-Banna: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hassan_al-Banna
Hassan al-Banna grandson Tariq Ramadan is on Press TV on Islam In Life, a weekly program:
Tariq Ramadan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariq_Ramadan
USA had a blow-back in Benghazi, Libya. You know what happened to both Qatar and to Mursi in Egypt. The Muslim Brotherhood fell out of favors, and today it is classified as Terrorist Group in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, U.A.E. and so forth.
The Syria file was then given to Prince Bandar Bush. He didn’t fare well with commanding both ISIL (ISIS) and Jabat al-Nusra. So, both groups now have been classified Terrorists along with al-Qadea.
I do realize that all these Terrorists organizations are CIA Assets.
Best regards,
Mohamed.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-06-13/us-claims-video-evidence-shows-russia-providing-tanks-rebels-ukraine?page=2
In the end, the entire US planned and funded Coup in Kiev is falling apart. The dream was to use a small well paid and highy trained cadre of professional protestors to carry out a coup by taking over the central square of Kiev and ride the wave of Western Media support to control of Parliament. The protestors had been trained for months is camps in Poland and the Baltics, where tactics and organized command was put into place. Pay was around 40-50 Euros a day, very high by Ukrainian standards. This force was backed up by American CIA command and control, along with special sniper squads to be used only if needed. To win, they were needed. Kiev to this day can not explain the dozens of riot police gunned down stone cold dead along with a group of armed and unarmed protestors. Shooting by protestors was videoed many times, but these were not the snipers, they were hold up in a buliding just off the Miadan. Shooting both sides at random.
NATO, led by the USA using the CIA arranged and carried out a coup d’etat using West Ukrainian fascists as the foot soldier. The goal was to pull a rapid regime change with a change over to an EU/NATO led government, then quickly use the army to secure this power, ask for NATO help and get boots on the ground BEFORE Russia could react. Thus in a short period of time, it was hoped to be able to secure the whole prize, Crimea being the biggest NATO prize. The reason it all went to shit is because the parliament of Crimea passed laws and made announcements BEFORE the coup came close to success in Kiev. They announced that they would refuse any orders from a Kiev coup government, then they sealed the bordes and put into place armed check points. Backed across the Crimea by Russia troops already stationed in Crimea by law. Before the coup could work it’s magic, Crimean Parliament gave Russia political cover and armed support to prevent Kiev from sending any thugs to start the revolution in Crimea. THIS quick action destroyed the US/NATO plan totally. And it gave hope to East Ukraine that they too could rise up and prevent the coup assuming control over their homes and cities. Thus we see the battles now.

Idk if the website is already known, so I just post it here: http://rusvesna.su/english
Now that Europe just witnessed 13 aircraft mysteriously disappear from radars in heart of Europe… Would it be fair to assume that if the US ‘helps’ Iraq by bombing ‘The Little Toilet,’ a few might ‘disappear’ and be ‘diverted’ to help out in Syria as well?
The Syrian People Have Spoken and the west doesn’t like one iota of it…
ISIS will never fight Kurds. The biggest gainers of this strange episode, is that Kirkurk region is now Kurdish, there was meant to be a referendum soon regarding the status of the region. This was planned, the Kurds will be annihilated by the 3 countries they border. Stupid leadership, the Kurds yet again failed by their leaders.
Would like to get in touch with Auslander, about the refugees in Crimea.
I would like to do a piece for

reliability of this blog (http://www.elblogsalmon.com) I don´t know. It is a blog dedicated to economy. But is interesting to point this information (a plane charging boxes) was reported by a spanish air controller @spainbuca, he worked at the airport in Kiev, was threatened with death and had to get his family out of Ukraine.
@ C
Don’t waste your time. Even when your kind dress up in sheep’s clothes, we are always able to see their fangs and claws.

Repent and come back to the Church. It’s that easy!
No military expert here, but whoever gave the order to land a cargo plane filled with troops in the middle of hostile territory has to be either very dumb or very negligent.
American kulak @ 21-02.
“What would be the objective of making foreign merc presence obvious?”
There are many potential interpretations which are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
These could include but not necessarily be limited to:
1. To assure “Western” populations that their own forces are not at risk.
2. To assure “Western” populations that the cause has validity as it attracts foreign”volunteers”.
3. To assure their “supporters” that the required level of expertise and weaponry is available.
4. To assure their “opponents” that the required level of expertise and weaponry is available.
5. To de-emphise reliance on National Guard.
6. To encourage National Guard and other units not to rebel since a potential punishment option exists in the field.
7. To expose the mercenaries reminding them that they are expendable so they should be “victorious”.
8. To raise stress levels in mercenaries to ensure greater “atrocities” ensue.
9. To encourage dissipation of “opponents” efforts by putting focus on capture of “foreign” mercenaries.
10. To create a history of threat that can be reactivated if and when new “normalcy” is resumed.
There are of course others that suggest lacunae in psyops.
Mercenaries are usually not primarily motivated by money.
War is a process not an event – this will morph in form.
There keep coming up these little snippets of just how much the ATO is in crisis:
Deputy Chief of the Ukrainian Army General Staff leads charge in attack against NAF.
http://sprotyv.info/en/news/1179-summary-june-13-2014
3. Today one of our politicians practically announced the following: “The Army needs heroic commanders. During yesterday’s fight near Snizhne, General Vitaly Muzhenko bravely proved himself. It is not the first time he personally led the attack.”
I am for a PR [campaign] of [our] heroes. But let’s recognize that if the General, who also holds the post of Deputy Chief of the General Staff (by the way, his name is Viktor), personally leads soldiers to attack, then this is the end of our army.
There are squad leaders, platoon leaders and company leaders who are supposed to lead soldiers in the attack. If the Deputy Chief of General Staff and one of the key “strategists” in the ATO is forced to personally lead soldiers to attack, then it’s one of two things. Either his subordinates are completely incompetent and he does their job for them, or he has nothing to do at the ATO headquarters. In both cases, the PR is doubtful.
I think it’s necessary to show the heroes from among regular soldiers and officers in particular battles. And the merits and shortcomings of generals should be judged on the results of the ATO.
!!!IMPORTANT!!!
Vladimir Rogov from “South-Eastern Front” – http://anna-news.info/node/17100 – just delivered us some interesting figures. Here is what he has to say about enemy casualties:
From May 2nd – June 14th:
the number of killed, wounded and taken prisoner is 2600 (of which 1200 are Right Sector).
Total casualty number for mercenaries from (formerly) Blackwater, Greystone, Poland, Baltic snipers is 140. This includes 12 killed and 13 wounded FBI and CIA operatives (!!!).
Regarding the military equipment, the lost:
7 T-64 tanks
35 BTR APCs
16 BMD IFVs
16 Mi-8/17/24 helicopters
2 Su-24 front aviation bombers
1 Su-25 ground attack aircrafts
1 Il-76 military transporter
1 UAV
3 Gaz-66 cars
3 Hummers
6 Ural trucks
6 Kamaz trucks
2 Uragan MLRS
3 Grad MLRS
2 Nona self-propelled howitzers
3 D-30 towerd howitzers
Tom Garrett’s memory of the Herero genocide has failed him.
It was not “the most egregious” in Africa. Leopold killed 8 million Congolese before the 1914-18 War, and we’ve killed well over 3 million (some say 10) since 1990. Not everybody died – a quarter survived. It was a 1904-05 counter-insurgency campaign, not a 1913 one-off.
It was awful. But it wasn’t unique. Atrocities aren’t only done by Germans. They’re what empires do. At the time, the Boer living skeletons were still recovering from their ordeal in British camps, and Younghusband had just slaughtered his way into Nepal. The British first hunted the aborigines of Tasmania, and later nuked the aborigines at Maralinga in 1957. Britain devised the theory of genocide – “the scientific approach to famine” – during India’s El Nino famines from the 1870s, with the full apparatus of concentration camps, work-till-you-drop, and minimal diet (less than Dachau’s; but it was a warmer country, I suppose), exporting grain while people were starving.
The UK and US defeat in Syria, and support of the Nazis in Ukraine, has cracked open a century’s propaganda about German war guilt. Syrian Free Army … sounds like the German Freikorps in 1918 … led by Admiral Canaris … wasn’t he a British agent? … did we give those Nazis cookies too?
Docherty and MacGregor’s Hidden History has shown how, since the Boer Wars, a small cabal prepared and intrigued relentlessly for war with Germany, against the will of the people. Nikolay Starikov has shown how all hell was let loose on Germany for recognising the Soviet Union. Guido Preparata has shown how, to prevent a Eurasian alliance, Britain orchestrated the 1914-18 War, then incubated Hitlerism to set up Germany for a second, knock-out blow.
By 1945, most people were ashamed of imperialism, and wondered how their countries would have fared at Nuremberg. Has that really been educated out of us?
The 100+ lost 25th airborne Dnepropetrovsk troops from the plane crash included many who hadbeen captured in Kramatorsk in April but allowed to leave the donetsk oblast without their firing pins and 6 apcs. Some of their colleagues defected at the time but these guys probably bet on Ukraine staying in a mode that would punish them for defecting such as losing their rights to ever return home to see their families.
They apparently paid for their decision that the anti-Kiev side was going to lose and was too dangerous to join w their lives. More of the 25th defected immediately after the crash after a shootout with Lvov troops who truly hate Russians. So the rebels did not shoot down a plane load of enemy so much as regulareast ukr army guys who each had personally bet on the wrong horse.
One of the Alpha team members captured in april and shown in their underwear had been released in a swap and took part in the Mariupol op yesterday. That reminds me of thegerman they let go in Saving Private Ryan
It looks to me that it is now very difficult (without spending most of the day on it) to distinguish between the information and the disinformation in the many comments on this blog (due to trolls and others). Perhaps better just to read only The Saker’s posts and skip the comments, depending on whether one has anything better to do.

I’d kind of been figuring those aircraft/radar “anomalies” were Russia giving us a warning that they can jam it. Otoh, I know research has been done for quite a while now on how to do that, so maybe it *was* us, except the planes did re-appear and I can’t imagine why we would do that.
Otoh, I can’t imagine why we would do a whole lot of stuff we are doing…

Nora said….,
“It’s kind of astounding, as smart as Ayatollah Sistani is, that he’d do something counter-productive — or that he’d be duped.”
Hi Nora,
I was harsh and let me explain it now.
In Sunni Islam, any Tom, Dick and Harry can issue a fatwa (religious edict) and every Sunni in the world have to follow it.
Also, in Sunni Islam, any Tom, Dick and Harry can issue a fatwa for Religious Jihad (War) and every Sunni in the world have to follow it.
In Shia Islam, only the Prophets and/or Imams can issue can issue a fatwa for Religious Jihad (War) from orders from God. And, every Muslim in the world have to follow it. Right now, there is no such authority on earth, until the Second Coming of Jesus (as) and/or Imam Mahdi (as).
In Shia Islam, personalities even like Syed Hassan Nasrallah (ra) cannot issue a fatwa. Only the Ayatollah and/or the Grand Ayatollah who have followings, can issue a fatwa and their respective followers have to follow these fatwa. No one else.
For example, in a household with father, mother, and two children, each one might be following a different Ayatollah and/or Grand Ayatollah of their personal choice. Thus, they only have to follow their own religious authority fatwas, and no one else.
Grand Ayatollah Syed Ali Sistani (ra) has the highest following in the world and I follow him.
Now to his latest fatwa.
1. It is not a Religious Jihad (War) fatwa.
2. It is not a fatwa for his followers.
3. It is a fatwa for all Iraqis, irregardless of their faith and/or sect to defend their country against the “Liver Eaters” Tafkiris.
It is my personal wish that he should have kept out of this, thus my harshness. However, I can understand his thinking, that on a daily basis lots of Iraqis of all faith and/or sect are dying in a large number by bombs left by these “Liver Eaters”. Forget, the large numbers who are manned for life on a daily basis.
Best regards,
Mohamed.

Well, I understand your problem and I would recommend a different solution: the best posters here all use the same alias every time they post. Why don’t you just skip the anonymous posts and stick to the ones signed in one way or another? Some of the best information and analysis on this blog does not come from me at all, but from those who posts in the comments section.

Bob Jackson:
Britain devised the theory of genocide – “the scientific approach to famine”
No, Britain developed the theory and practice of famine genocide in Ireland during the famine in the 1840’s, and of the systemic total deportation of peoples and concentration camp prisons in Acadia when the gathered up the French of Nova Scotia and interned them before sending them to Lousiana. They had earlier systemized the practice of press gangs and kidnappings of their own poor to man the Navy and staff their overseas plantations back into the 1600’s. Britain is also responsible for the concept of the Penal Colony – the US State of Georgia and later Australia were dumping grounds for those “criminals” they didn’t have the heart to kill outright in Britain.
Andrew and Bob Jackson,
Britain under Cromwell also developed the lovely practice of deporting into slavery those Irish they’d not driven to Hell or Connaught. Since they were free and cheaper to transport (no money lost if they died en route), more slaves in the 17th century were Irish than African. It was only after Haiti erupted that slavery became a) black-only; and b) based on brand-new theories of their “obvious” inferiority.
The last “witch” murdered in America was an Irishwoman from Connaught purchased with her daughter from the Caribbean, and burned at the stake because when asked to recite the Lord’s Prayer, She. Did. So. In. Gaelic. and none of the ^&*( Puritans knew any.

Dear Nora,
1. After the blow back in Benghazi, Obama finally bought Putin’s arguments about the “Liver Eater”.
2. They were getting too close to Israel, and might be a blow back there too.
3. There are too many radicals “Liver Eaters” in both Europe and Russia.
4. The Empire is under too much stress, especially the Dollar is about to collapse. Thus, the need for another currency to be created along side the Dollar to take the stress off the Dollar.
Thus, Obama and Putin got in cahoots:
1. To create a “False Flag” saran gas with the help of Prince Bandar Bush.
2. Bring all the “Liver Eaters” in one location to get rid most of them, once and for all.
3. Give moral boost to Assad. He is now more popular with Syrians, then before the uprising three years ago.
4. Now Maliki would be a Hero too.
5. Russia and China are creating an alternative currency to take some of the pressure of the Dollar.
Best regards,

P.S. Please don’t consider Obama and the American Government to be brainless. Even John McCain and Lindsey Graham are with Obama too. The AIPAC is almost dead.

My wife and I are very private people. There will be no contact beyond this forum. I mean no disrespect, sir.
If your desire to contribute is strong I suggest you contact the Russian Embassy in Paris and coordinate with them.
Kind regards
Auslander
I am wanting to believe you, Mohamed. I really, really want to — but color me sceptical right now. Let’s see how things go: hopefully, and without too much more bloodshed, you’ll be proven right. But I kind of doubt it.
Putin and Obama in cahoots, WTF?
Sorry to go personal Mohamed but I think you seriously have to have your head examined.
SAKER at 15:40 has a good suggestion that I think I’m going to follow – namely, to ignore all posts that begin with “Anonymous said…”
The problem here is there’s a chance I’ll miss some people who sign their name at the bottom of the post but don’t enter it in the “Choose an identity” place below the text box.
American Kulak comes to mind – I’d hate to miss his posts.
You may not know that if you choose the Name/URL button, that’s all you need – it doesn’t ask for a URL or anything else – just enter a name.
It would be good for the health of these comment threads if all those who use a name to post could help in passing along how easy it is to use a name, and encouraging people to use one.

Ukraine is not the chess board, the world is chess board. You have to see how the 2 Super Powers are co-operating at World Level. Crimea and Ukraine are Prices for Putin on Silver Platters.
You might have heard of Eric Cantor, the House Majority, who lost in the Primaries. Cantor is the highest-ranking Jewish member of Congress in its history, and currently the only non-Christian Republican in either house.
Cantor met alone with Netanyahu, Israeli Ambassador to USA and one another high ranking Israeli Government Official in a hotel room. Talk about Protocol.
Our Hasbara friend Israel Shamir forgot to mention that there is now Sunshine between USA and Israel. He did casually mention about Israel abstaining on Crimea in UN. Any absentee is a vote for Russia. Forget there is no Daylight between USA and Israel, now there is a big hole and it is full of Sunshine.
President Obama is our President. He was twice put into White House by both Popular Vote and College Vote too.
No matter, he is White or Black. He is our President and we put him twice in the White House. Imagine, for 5 continuous years, eye balling our own President, brow beating our own President, lecturing our own President in our own White House, in our own Country. Now, Netanyahu is fighting for his political life, and hopefully AIPAC is history too.
Yes, to reserve Dubya course, it took some time for Obama. He had to understand, gain trust and then reserve course.
Yes, both Obama and John Kerry look scared. And, I am scared for them too. God bless the Peace Makers.

“Unconfirmed but deemed reliable sources indicate chemical weapons “
If they are going to do that they will until exercise Rapid Trident in July, when NATO troops are on Ukrainian soil.
“False Flag” 101, because of the terrible atrocity caused by those terrible ‘terrorists’ NATO will have to help them…..
The month is appropriate as well. WW1 started in July 1914…..
……and currently the only non-Christian Republican in either house.
============================
Yeah, and McCain must be the most Christian of them all. They did the coup in Kiev just to facilitate the things for Putin and they formed an Army of fanatics in Syria and Iraq just to be able to destroy it after.
I don’t know what film you are seeing, my friend, but I’m pretty sure it hasn’t a lot to do with the reality.
Dear Nora,
Sorry bit I didn’t find your link to Mr Silver man’s thoughts very informative or interesting. In fact it’s full of the typical Anglozionist propaganda. The BBC and western media outlets are in overdrive mode since the ISIL suddenly start making enormous gains and their version of the cause of this new chapter of the war is the same.
What’s a cultural advisor btw?
However, the other link to Land destroyer was more depicting.
I agree with Lohmann and Know the truth.
The ISIL is just another name for trained mercenaries funded by house of Saud and trained by the Empire’s ”advisors”. I see a striking similarity between their success and that of Taliban in 1990s. As we all know, it’s impossible without the involvement of trained military personnel.
Muhammad has provided good history of the takfiri groups which is very relevant here although I disagree that Putin is in cahoots with Obama. The geopolitical relationships and interaction are multidimensional.
In my opinion, the situation in Iraq is carefully orchestrated another battlefield in the war for total hegemony and domination of the world.
There’s a lot of discussion on the western media currently about the idea of division of Iraq in 3 states and it’s not a new idea. It has been intermittently flouted since many years. This could be one outcome of the ISIL adventure.
Another possibility is re invasion by the US forces after a status of forces agreement.
I am also unsure if Bashar has been given green light. To me, he has brought some time and this is just a tactical shift of the battle. Syria would remain in war.
The Ukrainian situation cant be isolated from the big picture. Rather it’s intricately linked to Syria and Iraq. l believe that Putin will need to make some hard choices. Ukraine is too important to allow to be divided and that appears to me the most likely scenario in the current situation.
The Russian response was emphatic initially during the Crimean episode but has been passive since then.
It has been trumpeted by various people here that the Time is on Russia’s side. I beg to differ and in my opinion, time is on US side as shown by the opening of the new front in Iraq. Russia and the Novorossians are more at risk of serious and severe harm.
I hope Putin responds urgently and ends the continued misery of the Novorossians and Ukranians.
Amr,
I agree with you about the Silverman article; at the time I was struggling to make sense of the whole thing but in retrospect I am sure he was just delivering The Party Line. And my best guess is that a Cultural Advisor would be someone who read Huntington’s Clash of Civilizations and thus “knows” that Arabs only understand force, and/or someone at least semi-literate in the language. (Now that I think about it, I’m wondering if he holds dual-citizenship, which would explain a whole lot, now wouldn’t it. Especially since the 3-statelet idea was originally Israeli, I forget the guy’s name but the date was 1982.) And yes, if I were Bashar I wouldn’t be sleeping real well now, despite my recent electoral success — funny the timing there too, huh?
This whole thing is extremely upsetting but we’re really NOT able to draw any conclusions about any of it yet — still very much in the data-collecting stage, most unfortunately. Especially for the data, who pretty much all (choke) happen to be human.

Dear Daniel,
Thanks for the above. You might also be interest in this, too:
“Eric Cantor’s Defeat Is Also Netanyahu’s
One issue wasn’t talked about, though I wonder if it subliminally registered with some anti-Cantor voters. Cantor in 2010 more or less presented himself as Bibi Netanyahu’s congressman. Newly Elevated by the GOP House takeover as the incoming majority leader, he held a private meeting with the Likud leader at the New York Regency. No other Americans were present; Netanyahu was joined by Israel’s ambassador and national security advisor.”

And:
“In An ‘Unusual’ Meeting, Cantor Tells Netanyahu The GOP Majority ‘Will Serve As A Check’ On Obama’s Israel Policy
Regarding the midterms, Cantor may have given Netanyahu some reason to stand firm against the American administration.
“Eric stressed that the new Republican majority will serve as a check on the Administration and what has been, up until this point, one party rule in Washington,” the readout continued. “He made clear that the Republican majority understands the special relationship between Israel and the United States, and that the security of each nation is reliant upon the other.””

You have a very good memory of the timing. The VP Joe Biden holds the same idea too.
Best regards,
Mohamed.
@ Daniel and Nora,
“Ron Kampeas, a veteran and centrist observer of U.S.-Israeli relations, said he could not “remember an opposition leader telling a foreign leader, in a personal meeting, that he would side, as a policy, with that leader against the president.” So Cantor was, in his way, making history.”
Kind regards,
Mohamed.
@ Daniel and Nora,
“The ties to Israel made Cantor popular in the GOP caucus. Cantor could raise money more easily than other southern congressmen—from pro-Israel billionaires, for example—and spread it around. Sheldon Adelson poured millions into his PAC. Cantor knew his way around the Regency.
More recently, Cantor has spearheaded House opposition to Obama’s negotiations with Iran, speaking frequently of Iran in terms that echo Netanyahu. His Mideast positions track completely with Likud’s, whether it be aid to the Syrian rebels or aid to Egypt after the Sisi coup. He may be hard to pin down domestic issues, one day a moderate, another a hard rightist, but he is always a hawk—whether it be Ukraine or Syria or Iran, he will be a force pushing the most belligerent policies.”
Best regards,
Mohamed.
@ Daniel and Nora,
Looks like someone is helping Obama regarding Eric Cantor, beside God.
Kindest regards,
Mohamed.
To: Bob Jackson: You’re quite right Bob. My memory–with my 80th
looming–is not what it was. However I didn’t say the Herrero genocide was “the most egregious” but rarher “one of the most egregious”.
Years ago–can it really have been 35 years back–I stopped over in London after an IWC (whaling commission) meeting to dig into archives on British whaling. Having read an article that claimed the Herrero genocide provided a template for Nazi genocide in Europe I also went to the Colonial Office archives (where there was a 1918 report and some other stuff) to look into it. The thing that sticks in my mind yet today is a photograph of dead children killed beside a well in the Kalahari by German troops posted to keep Herreros from getting water.

Tom Garrett,
You’ve aged well, Mr. G. Don’t sweat the small stuff. I’d never heard of the Herrero genocide, but I think that photograph, just from your description, will stick in my mind forever too. (You know, of course, that privatized water is the latest “in” thing…)
