RT reports: The Russian Navy has sent five ships to the Mediterranean Sea to replace the region’s existing fleet. The move comes after the foreign ministry said it may call for the evacuation of Russian citizens in Syria if the government in Damascus falls. Three warships and two support ships of the Russian Baltic Fleet are set to join the Russian naval forces in the Mediterranean. Frigate Yaroslav Mudri The
Good old BBC – what would the world do without this paragon of professional journalism and impartiality?!Not.Check out how the BBC reported about the (illegal) demonstration which the so-called “non-system opposition” (aka “those who could not even get a single deputy elected into the Duma”) organized today: Impressive crowd, no? In the “hundreds” according to the article. And just to make sure that anybody doubting the size of this demonstration
On YouTube one of their supporters also added this heartfelt message: “Fuck bashar and his slut mother he destroyed all of syria with the help of kuffar shia irani pigs and russian communist atheist bastards but our mujahdeen bros will now rid syria of bashar bastard and we will have an islamic country where there will be no alchoal drugs and prostitutes everywhere it will be a islamic laws not
Anybody who knew anything about the entire Litvinenko saga knew that already, but now even the BBC is reporting it: Litvinenko was a paid MI6 agent.Now let’s see how long it will take the BBC to find out what country’s intelligence service is known to have used Polonium to kill undesirable people?The Saker
This could have been footage made in Bosnia, Chechnia, Kosovo or Libya, but it happens to have been made in Syria. Same faces, same crazed expression, same murderous determination – this is the face of US-sponsored Wahabi Islam and this is what the so-called “friends of Syria” are trying to put into power in Damascus.Frankly, and in a very naive way, when I listen to these lunatics I have visions
RT reports: Moscow has admitted the possibility that the Syrian opposition may emerge victorious as government forces continue to lose more territory as the conflict rages on, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov said. “We must face the facts: the current tendency shows that the government is progressively losing control over an increasing part of the territory,” Bogdanov told the Public Chamber. “An opposition victory can’t be ruled out.” The
RT reports: NGOs are urging Syrian rebels to release a Ukrainian journalist, Anhar Kochneva, who is set to be executed Thursday. Meanwhile the group behind the kidnapping warned it would now target all Russians, Ukrainians and Iranians on Syrian soil. The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), ARTICLE 19, the International Press Institute and Reporters Without Borders issued a joint statement expressing deep concern about Kochneva’s life and urging the leadership
When all the nonsense about the Syrians “combining the precursors of their binary chemical weapons” began I dismissed it all as the usual imperial demonization of the latest “new Hitler”, but now this entire topic is taking on a more ignominious character because the Israelis and the Americans are now openly threatening some kind of “consequences” if “Assad uses his chemical weapons against his people”. Some are also mentioning the
Syrian WMD now. Nevermind that the only case of use of chemical weapons “against his own people” was by Saddam under the high patronage of, what else, the USA. Nevermind that it is also nonsense. Nevermind that it would make no sense.The US “patriotic crowd” seems to be buying this one too…
Thierry Meyssan is a complicated source to rate. On one hand, he is a very well informed person and he has to be credited with being one of the first people to raise doubts about the 9/11 events. But I also recall Meyssan sometimes mistaking his hopes for facts, and some of his analyses are superficial. Anyway, he is in Syria now (he is very pro-regime), and he recently reported
Do you remember the panic which spread recently among Russian non-government organizations when Putin passed a new law forcing any NGO which is financed from abroad to register as a “foreign agent”?Russian bloggers have now compiled an initial list of these organizations. Again, this is not an official list, only one compiled by savvy Russian bloggers who will now submit this list to the Russian security agencies. Still, the list
(many thanks to M for this interesting article. S) Chris Zambelis for the CTC at West Point As the civil war in Syria rages on, there is ample evidence pointing to the activities of foreign interests—nation states and non-state actors—opposed to the Ba`athist regime in Damascus.[1] In contrast, recent reports implicating Lebanese Hizb Allah, an avowed Syrian ally, remain murky. Hizb Allah continues to refute charges that it is participating
De Fida Dakroub pour Global Research Généralités Lorsque l’émir du Qatar, Hamad, fut arrivé à Gaza, à la tête d’une importante délégation comprenant son épouse, Moza, et son premier ministre, Hamad – celui-ci un cheikh non pas un émir –, il fut accueilli par le chef du gouvernement du Hamas, Ismaïl Haniyeh, qui eut organisé une cérémonie officielle grandiose pour l’occasion. Les deux hommes se tinrent côte à côte pendant
At a time when basic civil rights are trampled on everywhere, when cops are usually seen beating up protesters, and when the American public is literally trained into mindless obedience to any person claiming to be in authority, it is a heart-warming experience to see that the rights of simple decent people can be protected by a Deputy Sheriff like Stan Lenic who prevented some self-appointed corporate thug from denying
…Tomorrow we will hit the street to tell Imam Hussein (peace be upon him): O our lord and master, as you defended your Grandfather, the religion of your Grandfather, and the dignity of your Grandfather Mohammad (Peace be upon him) on the tenth of Muharram, we will hit the street tomorrow in this time in which the Prophet of Islam is being offended, and in the future if anyone might
by Eric Walberg At last Egyptian politics is moving. President Mohamed Morsi is slowly building on his summer ‘coup’, when he stared down Egypt’s generals and put his men in the top army and defence positions, following terrorist attacks in Sinai which the army, so old and bumbling, so involved in Egyptian internal politics, failed to prevent. Now, he has stared down Israel’s generals, and dealt as an equal with
by Gilad Atzmon In the past week, the people of Gaza have been subject to some serious Israeli attacks. Some Hamas leaders and militants have been murdered and many more Palestinians – innocent civilians, babies, kids women and elders – have lost their live. Yet, Gaza is celebrating with the Hamas leadership never more popular. So here is an interesting anecdote that deserves our attention. During the recent clashes Gazan
I take refuge in Allah from the stoned devil. In the Name of Allah, The Compassionate, The Most Merciful. Peace be on the Seal of prophets, our Master and Prophet, Abi Al Qassem Mohammad and on his chaste and pure Household and on his chosen companions and on all messengers and prophets. Brothers and sisters! Peace be on you all and Allah’s mercy and blessing. I will divide my speech
Israel has never been the military superpower its propaganda claimed it to be, but neither was it a paper tiger. At the very least, the Israelis did an excellent job triggering conflicts when it best suited them, they excelled at camouflaging what where surprise attacks into a “defensive operation”, and they always managed to conceal their real losses. But none of this would have been possible if Israel did not
Tonight, an anonymous poster, to whom I am most grateful, drew my attention to two very interesting pieces by Amal Saad-Ghorayeb: Why Islamic Jihad is the new Hizbullah Hamas and Islamic Jihad after the cease-fire: a new division of labour? One of the articles also references this article: Al-Quds Brigades: Zionist Entity Is Nothing More Than Dummy This is all very interesting. According to its Wikipedia entry, the Palestinian Islamic
