Did you hear how Susan Rice adamantly told the UNSC yesterday that the US/NATO resolution which Russia and China vetoed did not in the least authorize a military intervention and that the US had no such plans? Here a headline from today’s Jerusalem Post: ‘US, Israel discuss destroying Syrian weapons’ The United States and Israel were in discussions over whether Israel should take out Syrian weapons facilities as the regime
This morning both Russia and China have vetoed the latest “NATO-sponsored” anti-Syrian Resolution at UN: Good. At this point, this is not about Assad or even Syria, its about fundamental and absolutely crucial principles of international law. It’s about telling Uncle Shmuel – NIET! You are not the world’s policeman and you cannot force us to submit to your threats. On one hand, the fact that only Russia and China
According to the CSM this is the guy who blew up the Israeli bus yesterday. Does he look Iranian to you? Also, besides the typical shorts and baseball hat, this guy was carrying a US passport “believed to be fake“. What basis does this “belief” have? According to whom? Other sources speak of a Michigan driver’s license, also fake, of couse. Now look at the long hair, black shades and
Somebody blew up an Israeli bus in Bulgaria, and Netanyahu immediately blames Iran and add the following threat: “All the signs lead to Iran. Israel will respond forcefully to Iranian terror”. Sure comes at a good time for the Israeli regime. Another false flag?
WOW! That was my first thought when I heard the news of the bombing in Syria. So far, the details are sketchy, and I don’t trust the anglo corporate media one bit, but I do follow the news on Russian TV – unlike most Western news outlets – which has correspondents in Damascus and what they report is absolutely mind-boggling. According to the Russian TV, an individual associated with the
Latest BBC headline: “Syria: Assad regime ‘ready to use chemical weapons’. It’s not only the BBC, by the way, this story has spread like a wildfire: I guess that this is how a total canard becomes a “newsflash” even though it is based on exactly nothing. Indeed, check out what some ex-Assadist turncoat actually said: “Asked if he thought President Assad might use chemical weapons against the opposition, Mr Fares
A new video of Gaddafi’s murderers having a great time playing with his dead body has recently emerged. Look at the faces of these folks, their attitude, their “playful” joy at having fun with the body of a dead man. These are the exact same crazed Wahabi thugs who are now trying to overthrow Assad in Syria and whom the West, and some terminally stupid Arabs, is now arming and
Translated into English: Original Russian version: Saker Commentary: I have to say that I am extremely impressed by Sergei Lavrov whom I consider to be one of the best diplomats I have ever listened to (the other one being James Baker whose views I never shared, but who undoubtedly was a top level diplomat). Russia is really fortunate to have such an excellent team as Sergei Lavrov and Vitalii Churkin
A month ago I posted a commentary in support for the decision of the city of Moscow to ban so-called “gay pride” parades. Just as I expected, the post resulted in somewhat of a firestorm of outraged reactions from those who believe that homosexuality is, to quote Wikipedia, a “normal and positive variation” of human sexuality. They were particularly outraged at the fact that I stated that homosexuality was just
By Charlie Skelton for The Guardian via (Information Clearing House) The media have been too passive when it comes to Syrian opposition sources, without scrutinising their backgrounds and their political connections. Time for a closer look … A nightmare is unfolding across Syria, in the homes of al-Heffa and the streets of Houla. And we all know how the story ends: with thousands of soldiers and civilians killed, towns and
On on 7 May 2012 Vladimir Putin was inaugurated, again, as the President of Russia having successfully completed what is called a “castling move” in Russia – he exchanged positions with (now) former President Medvedev. Even though only two months have passed since his inauguration, it is already possible to make a preliminary assessment of his first 60 days in power. I will take a look at his performance issue
Sent to me by Gilad Atzmon (thanks brother!) who wrote the following foreword on his website: The following article was published on the popular Zionist site Times Of Israel. It actually confirms everything we say and write about Jewish power, Jewish identity, Jewish left and Jewish AZZ (anti Zionist Zionists) . It is also consistent with each and every finding in my latest book The Wandering Who? We are dealing
The BBC, CBS and other are reporting this morning that Syrian Republican Guard Brigadier General Manaf Tlass has “defected” to France via Turkey. According to CBS: Brig Gen Manaf Tlass The al-Arabiya television network quoted French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius as saying the defected general was already on his way to Paris, where he is known to have many personal connections, and where the international “Friends of Syria” conference was
by Soraya Sepahpour-Ulrich George Santayana wisely said: “”Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Oblivious to history and its lessons, America and its Western allies are repeating their actions of the 1950’s — that of imposing an oil embargo on Iran. The American-led alliance has forgotten the past. Iran remembers. When under the leadership of the nationalist Dr. Mossadegh, Iran opted to nationalize its oil industry,
Does anybody remember how the USA prevented the Bosnian-Serbs from participating in any negotiations about their own future? The USA came up with trick to say that the only Serbs invited to any negotiations would be the Serbs from Yugoslavia, representatives of the Milosevic regime. With the brilliant move, the USA made it look like the Bosnian-Serbs were nothing but a proxy for an expansionist Serbian Yugoslavia hell-bent on creating
Pepe Escobar for the Asia Times Once upon a time, not too long ago, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu was the prime proponent of a foreign policy dubbed “zero problems with our neighbors” – derided by many in the West as “new-Ottomanism”. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) meets this Tuesday in Brussels not only to craft its response to a Turkish F-4 Phantom jet shot being down by Syria’s
I don’t have much respect for the corporate media and, for that matter, very little for most of the alternative media. But the prize for stupid, delusional, or even outright psychotic reporting goes to the Iranian Fars news agency which managed to print the following: “Russian atomic submarines” and “1000” tanks will soon come to Syria. Right. I don’t know what the hell the folks at Fars are smoking, but
From the BBC website this morning: Ship ‘carrying Russian attack helicopters to Syria’ halted off Scotland The UK has made moves to stop a cargo vessel allegedly carrying refurbished Russian-made attack helicopters from completing its journey to Syria. The MV Alaed had its insurance withdrawn by The Standard Club in London while it was about 50 miles (80.4km) off Scotland’s north coast. The insurer said it had sought more information
