What we may be seeing in US policy is competing agendas. The diplomatic track appears to be favored by the White House and State Department as a more efficacious way of achieving regime change against the Syrian government of President Bashar al-Assad. But the Pentagon, and specifically the CIA, has its own militarist schemes, even if that means providing weapons to terror groups with much greater fire power and risking a proxy war with Russia.
The upshot is that US foreign policy is dangerously all over the place because of competing power players within Washington. The disturbing conclusion is that the American president and his State Department are simply not in control. It’s like watching a driver of an articulated truck whose grip on the wheel has no steering.
A deep, darker state within the official state is by no means a new concept to describe American government and its foreign policy. More than 50 years ago, President John F. Kennedy was so perplexed by CIA covert operations undermining him on Cuba and Vietnam that he declared he would “smash it into a thousand pieces.” That intention probably caused Kennedy his life at the hands of the deep state and its military-industrial complex.
Today, it is very doubtful that any American politician would have the courage or conviction to pull rank on the military-industrial complex. The latter appears to be more assertive and belligerent than ever, as can be seen from the seemingly irrational contradictions of US foreign policy on Russia and Syria. And that unaccountable power-play makes for a highly dangerous dynamic.
I’m sorry, but this is tending to out and out racism. I have to ask you – all – to please contain your anger and express yourselves in less violent, racial, tones. Thanks very much. mod PS
To the moderator PS: Yes, I agree, you are absolutely right.
At the same time, the amount of self-serving tribal hatred spewed by these two CNN hosts is so typical of much of the current U.S. media discourse and is much too revolting not to provoke anger.
Yes Vot, it is International Financial Oligarch run Western Media not Jewish. Stop being such a racist as you know that Jews are a race and not a religion containing many races :P
Anyway, more than likely Zionist International Financial Oligarch who hides behind the skirts or religion as a means to carry out cart blanch criminality without repercussions. Just ask Igor Kolomoisky or for that matter the shadow Melbourne Drug Lords based in and around East St Kilda and Caufield. Nothing but kust making an honest buck.
@Zion
Jews are a race? Explain that please. I always thought that Judaism is a religion and there are jewish people in Spain, so they are Spaniards, in Italy, so they are Italian and they belong to the jewish religious community and so on. From the “Jewish Virtual Library”:” jews come in all shapes, sizes, ethnicities and nationalities”.
You call yourself Zion. Why if I may ask?
I think that 90% of Zionists are jewish and some non jewish people can be zionists and if most Media are zionist controlled (unfortunately) then they are to 90% controlled by people of jewish faith.
I have pondered that question myself: are Jews a race or a religion.
My conclusion is that it is both. I could be wrong of course, since I am not a scholar on that topic.
It is a race or ethnicity, in the sense that even Jews that no longer believe in Judaism (e.g atheists and communists) often claim they are Jewish.
It is a religion, in the sense that people of obvious other races, once converted to Judaism, now are considered, as well as claim to be Jewish.
The funny (well, not funny, but perhaps a bit querky) thing is that if you combine the 2, you now have Jews who (a) were not the original Jewish race, and (b) are simply descendents of Converted Jews, that no longer believe in Judaism, but are still considered or claim to be Jewish….
What happened to the original Jews? Most of them have become, over the past 2000 years, Palestinians… and are now being discriminated against by the newer Jews…. go figure.
The fact that you can convert to Judeaism proves it is not an ethnicity, anymore than Russian Orthodoxy Roman Catholicism or Protestantism are.
However, the Orthodox Jews in nation-states or pre-nation religiously-denominated geographies were hostile to inter-marriage and assimilation. That in turn led to a narrowing of the gene-pool, with more distinctive ‘Jewish’ traits emerging, particularly as they were a religious minority.
I always thought ghettos were imposed on the Jews, but in fact they were a product of anti-assimilation Jewish Orthodoxy.
The reason ethnicity is claimed is because it offers a much stronger historical case for claim to land/territory and the benefits/entitlements of such.
This is why Zionist Jews collaborated with Nazi Germans to colonize Palestine.
In truth, the Jewish settlers/colonists of historical Palestine are mostly European and currently American (though of European origin.) They are Russian, Polish (Benjamin Mileowski, or Netanyahoo as he prefers to be known), German etc.
They are known as Ashkenazis or sometimes Khazars and some of the original Semite Sephardi Jews view them as ‘false Jews’ precisely because they are European-ethnic rather than truly Semite like indigenous Palestinians – Jewish, Christian or Muslim.
This is why I refuse to use the term ‘anti-semite’ in relation to irrational hostility to Jews in general – the term ‘Judaeophobe’ is accurate. In fact the worst anti-semites on the planet are Israeli Jews for their genocidal policy and brutal treatment of indigenous Palestinians.
The fact that you can convert to Judaism proves nothing at all about whether it is an ethnicity.
The fact that a people practices adoption does not change its ethnicity. The fact that a religion accepts converts does not change the religion.
You guys have it backwards. Try applying your theories to something about which you feel more neutral to check the fit. How about “the Senecas adopted people from other tribes, therefore
“Seneca” is not an ethnicity.
Do you see that you have just eliminated “ethnicity” completely as a valid concept? There is no known gene pool of identical people or closely similar people. Rape is too common, for one thing. In Ruanda, where three resident populations were almost absurdly dissimilar — the Hutus, Tutsis and Pygmies — the original genetic types have disappeared in the past few decades of war.
Demeter, Shlomo Sand, the Israeli historian, in his ‘The Invention of the Jewish People’ showed that many Jews are descended from groups that converted to Judaism down through the centuries, the most famous the Khazars. Oddly enough the Palestinians are descended from, amongst others, Jews who remained in Palestine after the Roman expulsions, which were not total.
I researched this ‘what is a Jew’ a while back and found no definitive answer. It’s religion, and ethnicity, and culture, and heritage, and legal status — and not. That’s even from Jewish sources.
BTW — I can’t find link to confirm it, but I have read, and it may be, that most zionists are not Jewish — many are Christian zionists — and zionisism is not the same as Jewish by a long way.
Zionism, by various sources, was always anti-Jewish in that the original zionists were atheists who wanted to get away from the image of Jews as the Eastern European peasant jews and become more like ‘modern Europeans’, with a nation (as in nationalism).
For some reason I find the song below strangely appropriate to the question, and I suspect it even has some anti-semitic roots, as related especially to the bearded Jewish immigrants flooding the US.
I want to also say in this last post (but my internet is up and down like a yoyo tonight making it hard to be coherent) that a Jew is someone who identifies him/her/self as a Jew and is accepted as such by some undefined number or group of people: no objective definition. Even if born of a Jewish mother someone can repudiate his Jewishness. If we say the Jews define what is Jewish we first have to say who the ‘Jews’ are.
But then, there ae many ‘Christians’ saying other ‘Christians’ are or not real ‘Christians’. And with Muslims and other religions.
Maybe the best that can be said is that someone who says they are not something isn’t.
So, I am not saying this is what the Palestinians should do, but hey, that leaves the possibility that all Palestinians can now all become Jews by converting, then they can take over Israel, and there will be no Palestinians to oppress !!!!! Dont get angry, this is partly tongue in cheek.
vot tak, I heard the BBC groveling to Alexandre Kouchner, son of the MSF Zionazi, Bernard. One trusts he is not as corrupt or careless as that other Zionazi scion, Fabius’s son, recently caught with his hand in numerous tills. Young Alexandre described the scene in Paris as ‘…being like East Jerusalem’. For that to be true, of course, numerous Moslem Parisians would have to have been killed by trigger-happy Parisians, a few Africans would be dead owing to ‘mistaken identity’ and a Parisian or two plugged in the cross-fire.
You can see where the mucilaginous little blighter is heading. Israel is fighting the same ‘terror’ as the West, as it slaughters Palestinians with the usual glee. It’s the filthy narrative Satanyahoo et al have been pushing for years. It is, of course, deeply, viciously, racist, where Palestinian or other untermenschen deaths are of no value, while ‘precious Jewish souls’ are, naturally, priceless. They do it with considerable arrogance, of course, knowing that anyone who dares equate a Jewish life as equal in value with a Palestinian, will be shouted down and vilified as an ‘antisemite’.
“They do it with considerable arrogance, of course, knowing that anyone who dares equate a Jewish life as equal in value with a Palestinian, will be shouted down and vilified as an ‘antisemite’.”
And just posting facts gets one smeared as a racist, as I was above. Sad to see the site moderation here devolve to msm levels of bias.
Oh, come on. “Jewish owned/run Western media” was just stupid if it wasn’t intended to be racist. Hollywood has some major Jewish ownership, but the news media for instance not so much. Rupert Murdoch isn’t a Jew last I checked, for example.
I’m not so sure that its “stupid”. The majority of the national news media in the US is Jewish owned,or run,or staffed.That’s not hard to prove,just check out the names of the people involved.And those not Jewish in many cases are Israeli supporters.So whether Jewish or not they are Zionist or neo-con.I think that breakdown,while maybe not quite as extreme, or then,maybe more so,is similar in Canada,Australia,Britain,and France.While members of those groups are also powerful in the media throughout other countries in the EU,Latin America,and in Russia.Again a check of ethnic names and backgrounds is easy to prove that fact.That of course doesn’t mean that those people have no right to be in the professions of their choice,or that some of them aren’t appalled at the Israeli and neo-con actions.Some even side with Russia and the multi-polar World.But still,it is a fact that people of Jewish background do have an overwhelming presence in World media.And as we see the MSM excuse Israeli and neo-con crimes Worldwide.I think there is a strong case to be made that that is a major reason why.Whether Jewish and Zionist influence is as great in the media as it is in Hollywood and the entertainment industry in the US,I’m not sure.But in entertainment related industries that influence is “off the charts” in the amount of control it has.
Murdoch ‘became an American citizen for business reasons,’ according to Richard H. Curtiss, editor of the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. Keith Rupert was born in Melbourne, Australia, on March 11, 1931. ‘Rupert’s father, Sir Keith Murdoch, was a newspaper publisher, and his mother an Orthodox Jew,’ Curtiss wrote, ‘although Murdoch never offers that information in his biographies.’
Murdoch’s father married Elisabeth Joy Greene, daughter of Rupert Greene and Marie de Lancey Forth in 1928. They had one son, Keith Rupert and three daughters. Later in life, Keith Rupert chose to use Rupert, the first name of his Jewish maternal grandfather.
The young Keith Rupert was educated at Australia’s fashionable Geelong private school, and went on to the elitist and aristocratic Oxford University in England, according to Candour (UK) magazine.
‘Rupert’s father Sir Keith Murdoch attained his prominent position in Australian society through a fortuitous marriage to the daughter of a wealthy Jewish family, née Elisabeth Joy Greene. Through his wife’s connections, Keith Murdoch was subsequently promoted from reporter to chairman of the British-owned newspaper where he worked. There was enough money to buy himself a knighthood of the British realm, two newspapers in Adelaide, South Australia, and a radio station in a faraway mining town,’ Candour wrote in 1984. ‘For some reason, Murdoch has always tried to hide the fact that his pious mother brought him up as a Jew.’
“Oh, come on. “Jewish owned/run Western media” was just stupid if it wasn’t intended to be racist.”
You have basically supported a smear from a libelist calling itself Zion. That’s not exactly a smart move in itself. :D
Your attempt to hide murdock’s jewish background has already been shown up as an excercise in willful ignorance, or disinformation, so I won’t waste time on you there.
Now about Jewish media control, here are a couple articles in the Jewish owned/run msm about Jewish ownership and control of the media:
Plg, you have essentially tanked your credibility with this combination smear trolling and reinforcement of smear trolling by another (what I term zio-gang banging, what Israel Shamir calls S.W.A.R.M. for the this sort of cowardly attack). Anybody reading this exchange will now know that despite the seemingly sympathetic views you often post, your real agenda is essentially the same as that of the Zion commenter. And you sacrificed the credibility you have worked steadily on creating here over many months simply over the phrase Jewish owned/run media.
Now I ask, was that really a very smart thing to do, plg?
According to plg (Purple Library Guy) it was Iran who was complict in Lockerbie, who brought the jet down. It is in this thread a little bit down.
Purple Library Guy qoute: “While I doubt we’ll ever know for sure, I had read a number of articles citing credible evidence that it was Iran before Gaddhafi first “came in from the cold”, certainly well before he was then betrayed and killed by the West. In places like Counterpunch they noted that it was inconvenient for the US to acknowledge that it might have been Iran because, while they constantly called Iran “terrorist”, everyone knew Iran didn’t normally commit such acts, and so the question would instantly come up of why Iran would be doing such an out-of-character thing–”
PLG, the Jews can claim Rupert any time, because his mother, a lovely woman (can you believe it?)who lived to 102, was a Jew. Rupert, either way (and he himself has never claimed to be Jewish, as far as I know)is so fanatically pro-Israel, and ensures that ALL his Empire is also, that it doesn’t matter. Hollywood is overwhelmingly Jewish controlled, not just ‘some major’, and the MSM slightly less so. And the rest are pro-Israel, or else. I can’t see how that can be denied.
“In a classic Putin move, the Russian President presented evidence of G20 member states providing financial support to ISIS…during the G20 summit in Antalya. Speaking with reporters after the summit, Putin revealed:
I provided examples related to our data on the financing of Islamic State units by natural persons in various countries. The financing comes from 40 countries, as we established, including some G20 members”
G20 = Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States and the EU.
I’d pick France, UK, USA, Saudi and Turkey for sure and maybe Germany. Israel is just too quiet so I am sure they are in too.
How strange that I am not seeing Putin’s bombshell on western MSM yet.
“Am I being crass and insensitive? Not at all—I deplore all the deaths from terrorist attacks in Iraq, in Syria, in Lebanon, and in all the other countries whose populations did absolutely nothing to deserve such treatment. I only feel half as bad about the French, who stood by quietly as their military helped destroy Libya (which did nothing to deserve it).
Note that after the Russian jet crashed in the Sinai there weren’t all that many Facebook avatars with the Russian flag pasted over them, and hardly any candlelight vigils or piles of wreaths and flowers in various Western capitals. I even detected a whiff of smug satisfaction that the Russians got their comeuppance for stepping out of line in Syria.
Why the difference in reaction? Simple: you were told to grieve for the French, so you did. You were not told to grieve for the Russians, and so you didn’t. Don’t feel bad; you are just following orders. The reasoning behind these orders is transparent: the French, along with the rest of the EU, are Washington’s willing puppets; therefore, they are innocent, and when they get killed, it’s a tragedy. But the Russians are not Washington’s willing puppet, and are not innocent, and so when they get killed by terrorists, it’s punishment. And when Iraqis, or Syrians, or Nigerians get killed by terrorists, that’s not a tragedy either, for a different reason: they are too poor to matter. In order to qualify as a victim of a tragedy, you have to be each of these three things: 1. a US-puppet, 2. rich and 3. dead.”
Don’t forget they extorted like close to $3000 million from Libya for lockerbe bombing.. Which was actually an Iranian covert operation in response to the shooting down of an Iranian passenger air liner.. You know where the captain who killed over 200 people got a promotion and medals for the men. What’s worse is the ship that shot down the plane was inside Iranian waters. Wonder why the US did not blame Iran.. The blamed some Libya intelligence agent as being responsible because he went into some shop as evidence? They only killed ghadiffi after they got the money.. after destroying Libya the first thing they did was steal Libya’s gold.. just like they stole Ukraine’s gold..
Seriously, where did you come up with that one mmiriw?
The Iranians were responsible for Lockerbie and the Brits let them off the hook? I don’t believe it. I’ve noticed several recent attempts to re purpose the Lockerbie bombing now that Gaddafi is no longer available for scaring the little kiddies.
You need to answer Mohamed’s question or you’re gonna lose all credibility.
While I doubt we’ll ever know for sure, I had read a number of articles citing credible evidence that it was Iran before Gaddhafi first “came in from the cold”, certainly well before he was then betrayed and killed by the West. In places like Counterpunch they noted that it was inconvenient for the US to acknowledge that it might have been Iran because, while they constantly called Iran “terrorist”, everyone knew Iran didn’t normally commit such acts, and so the question would instantly come up of why Iran would be doing such an out-of-character thing–the answer being, as mmiriww said, tit for tat after the shooting down of their own liner, an act the Americans didn’t want talked about and had pretty successfully hushed up.
At the time Gaddhafi was getting all apparently “rehabilitated”, I saw repeated, quite informed, speculations that part of the price he was paying for getting forgiveness from the Godfather was accepting the fall for Lockerbie.
really credibility?? Does that pay anything?? Do I get a star or something I can stick to my warrior keyboard? And stop blaming Israel for everything. I actually support Iran more than Israel but blame should go where it should. Iran unlike most nations will not let anyone including super powers get away with murdering their citizens.. Do you remember the guy who ordered the bombing of a mosque in Lebanon killing like 100 shias? Do you know WHY the US hates Iran so much? That’s because they caught the guy and tortured him to death and mailed the tape to his boss in Langley. The US cant stand anyone who stands upto them and pays back just as much as they get. Although they have been very restrained recently. I don’t think even Russia has as much guts as Iran when it comes to taking revenge. Then again there would be very very few countries who could actually take it and keep standing either..
CI eh? there’s an excellent video ‘The Maltese Double-Cross’, which, when shown on SBS in Australia, contained an excellent discussion panel, that reveals all. The bomb was planted by the PFLP, based in Damascus, working for Iran, as vengeance for the deliberate destruction of the Iranian airbus by the USS Vincennes. It was taken on board by a drug mule being used in a US DEA drug sting, which the PFLP had penetrated. This scenario was quickly established and held to be true, even appearing in the Western MSM, for eighteen months, whereupon the USA required Syrian and Iranian connivance in the destruction of Iraq in the first Gulf War. So, overnight, with total MSM amnesia and Groupthink, the old story disappeared down the Memory Hole, and Libya was fitted up with planted evidence. The ‘trial’ in Holland was described by prominent Scots jurists as one of the blackest episodes in the history of Scottish jurisprudence. That the vermin might now, change the story back to blaming Iran, or even Putin (who knows) would not surprise.
Who is fingering Iran, an ex-traitor who become the first President after the downfall of Shah, who was within one year impeached. A stooge for The Empire.
“Abolhassan Bani-Sadr, a former president of Iran, discusses the idea that Iran took revenge for the shootdown by the USS Vincennes of Iran Air Flight 655 in July 1988.”
“Sayyed Abolhassan Banisadr is an Iranian politician, economist and human rights activist. He was the first President of Iran after the 1979 Iranian Revolution abolished the monarchy, serving from 4 February 1980 until he was impeached by parliament on 21 June 1981.
Banisadr went into hiding for a few days before his removal, and hid in Tehran, protected by the People’s Mujahedin (PMOI) . He attempted to organize an alliance of anti-Khomeini factions to retake power, including the PMOI, KDP, and the Fedaian Organisation (Minority), while eschewing any contact with pro-Shah exile groups. He met numerous times while in hiding with PMOI leader Massoud Rajavi to plan an alliance, but after the execution on 27 July of PMOI member Mohammadreza Saadati, Banisadr and Rajavi concluded that it was unsafe to remain in Iran.”
Mulga Mumblebrain quote: “The Maltese Double-Cross”
The above documentary was financed by Tiny Rowland:
In a boardroom coup in October 1993, Rowland was forced to step down as Chairman of Lonrho. He was succeeded by former diplomat Sir John Leahy. In March 1995 he was dismissed by the Board. The Cohens conjecture that Rowland’s association with Muammar al-Gaddafi, the leader of Libya, and the film The Maltese Double Cross – Lockerbie contributed to the decision to dismiss Rowland.”
I guess now you got your answer, and you know who is who on this blog.
Here is a verse from Quran, though as usual it is not a very good translation:
035:018 (Translation by Khan)
And no bearer of burdens shall bear another’s burden, and if one heavily laden calls another to (bear) his load, nothing of it will be lifted even though he be near of kin. You (O Muhammad SAW) can warn only those who fear their Lord unseen, and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat). And he who purifies himself (from all kinds of sins), then he purifies only for the benefit of his ownself. And to Allah is the (final) Return (of all).
Basically, the above verse is refuting the following:
1. No Original Sin: We are not responsible for anyone else sin.
2. Others are not responsible: If someone commits sin/crime against us, their families, friends and/or near ones are not responsible for that sin/crime. Therefore, no retribution should be taken against those who are not responsible.
People either don’t understand Islam on this blog, or intentionally try not to understand Islam, especially the Shia Islam.
Both Marjas Grand Ayatollah Khomeini and Grand Ayatollah Khamenei are the highest grades of Marjas with a very, very large followings throughout the world like the highest grade Marja Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani.
They probably don’t know what Marja means? Of course, one can Google it.
Thus, no Marja will allow for taking the life of innocent passengers, who had nothing to do with shooting down of Iranian passenger jet. The passengers on Lockerbie are not culprit, their government might be. There were most probably all different nationalities besides USA on Lockerbie, representing most religions including Islam.
Let alone a Marja, even Nasrallah would not do such a thing. However, in war the military targets are different thing, as they as fighting against you.
As far as brother mmiriww is concerned, he quoted a partial quote from other site. I requested him three times:
1. To please quote the full quote.
2. Please understand this quote is in regards to Shia.
3. The Shia are considered, “unbelievers” in this quote, and no one else.
4. This quote is from Abdul Wahhab the founder of Wahhabi Islam.
5. And, the quote is about 200 years old.
He kept replying me on every occasion, “what can he do, I should write to ISIS in attention to: Baghdadi and for sure he will get it.
My simple request for him was to quote the complete quote.
What happened in Paris? Assad had nothing to do with that. You play with fire crackers, sometimes you blow off a finger in the process.. Some stupid people have blown off their entire faces.. That fat guy running France is not a statesman like Assad.. A coward hiding behind his aircraft carrier driving backwards. The damn thing breaks up and sinks and they will blame Assad for the shoddy workmanship.
If anyone deserves A title of President for life it is Assad.
It was during the summer of 2012 when a major attack was launched on Damascus to overthrow the government of President Bashar al-Assad. His defence minister, Dawoud Abdallah Rajiha, along with other senior officials, were assassinated in a bomb attack in a supposedly secure government building. The situation looked bad. Assad’s government seemed on the brink of collapse.
We learned what kind of a leader and a man President Assad was in that grim summer of 2012.
He could easily have accepted western summons to leave Damascus. He is a physician, with a speciality in ophthalmology. He could have gone back to practicing medicine and left Syria to the tender mercies of Jihadists running amuck with foreign support.
Assad did not take that easy way out.
He stayed in Damascus, shared the dangers of his people and led the resistance against the foreign backed Takfiri foreign militias.
Had Damascus fallen, he would surely have forfeited his life. He is now the main leader of the Syrian resistance against the Jihadists.
The conflict in Syria, which is often called a civil war, is not a civil war at all. It is a proxy war of aggression, brokered, bankrolled, and led by the United States, France, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Israel, amongst others, with the intention of destroying the Assad government and breaking up Syria.
The US government took advantage of economic difficulties and bad harvests in Syria to stir up an «Arab Spring». «We’re backing democracy», says Barack Obama. «Airstrike democracy», Vladimir Putin, derisively replied. There are many US airstrikes in the Middle East, but no democracy.
You can’t conduct major military operations, as IS and its affiliates are doing in Syria and Iraq, without massive logistic, material, and financial support.
Large numbers of foreign Jihadists are involved, with estimates of up to 70,000, coming from all points of the unhappy Muslim world. These are not simply dissatisfied young men looking for kicks, money, and a chance at martyrdom; by all accounts many are experienced soldiers capable of seizing and holding territory. It takes time, training, guns, tanks, trucks, supply lines, hospitals, and a lot of money, to create such military formations. All this comes from the United States and its vassals. These actions constitute aggression against a legitimate state fighting for survival.
Even one of their own, a retired Lieutenant General Michael T. Flynn, has told Al Jazeerah that the US government made a «wilful decision» to create and back IS. To divert attention from US collusion, Pot calls Kettle black: the evil doer brazenly accuses his targeted victim of evil. It’s an old US stratagem.
In Syria. Is there any limit to the absurd and the preposterous? There is no «moderate» opposition fighting against the Syrian government. They are Salafist Jihadists, affiliates whatever they call themselves and they have many names, of the same lot of IS serial killers and cannibals. They are cut from the same cloth, weaved by the United States and its vassals. The «moderate» opposition is another Orwellian invention to hide Washington’s support for the murder and mayhem in Syria.
Russian intervention in Syria caught Washington off guard, showing up President Obama and exposing his support of Jihadi terrorists he claims to be fighting.
The United States accused Russia of bombing non-existent hospitals in Syria, shortly after US warplanes destroyed a real hospital in Afghanistan. Pipsqueak Qatar, an IS financier, recently threatened military intervention against Syria, and Saudi Arabia continues to supply and bankroll IS, not to mention its pursuit of a war of aggression against Yemen.
The US Deep State will not forgive President Putin for exposing their bloody hands in the Syrian war. The other day the Secretary of Defence, Ashton Carter, said that he expects that Russia will soon sustain casualties fighting the Jihadi barbarians. It is almost as though he was gloating in anticipation of spilled Russian blood. The Russian government and no doubt most Russians were incensed. Is the United States or its Saudi vassals sending MANPADS, antiaircraft weapons, to the Jihadists, to shoot down Russian aircraft? Would that surprise anyone? Mr Carter, do you think that Russia does not have contingency plans for such an eventuality?
What madness has overcome the US Deep State? The so-called Defence Department, acting like a bully whose dominion over the school yard has been challenged, actually seems to want a confrontation with Russia in Syria to re-establish its reputation and save its Jihadi allies. As if their recent provocations against China are not enough, US officials should be careful, very careful what they wish for.
Russian plane crash in Sinai a terrorist attack – Russian Security Service
The Federal Security Service director also announced a reward of $50 million for information on those behind the terror attack on the A321.
But Russia won’t be “wiping tears from our soul and heart,” he said. “This [tragedy] will stay with us forever. But this won’t stop us from finding and punishing the culprit.”
“Our military work in Syria must not only continue. It must be strengthened in such a way so that the terrorists will understand that retribution is inevitable,” he said.
“We haven’t forgotten anything or anyone. The murder of our nationals in Sinai is among the bloodiest crimes in [terms of] the number of casualties.”
Something BIG going on in Syria, large number of Russian helicopters are flying all over the place.. Russian cruise missiles are again flying over Syria. conventional KH-55 suspected.

Russia fires missiles from Mediterranean on targets in ISIS stronghold Raqqa – reports
Russia gave notice to Washington ahead of the airstrikes, in accordance with an agreement on air safety, US official said, adding that some of Russian strikes had targeted Raqqa, the stronghold of IS militants.
A US official told Reuters that Moscow has conducted a significant number of strikes in Syria using both sea-launched cruise missiles and long-range bombers.
Russia has involved strategic and long-range aircraft in strikes against the Islamic State (IS) terrorist organization in Syria, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu reported to President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday.
Another notch on Putins belt.. So that’s what all the helicopters were doing this morning…
TEHRAN (FNA)- The Russian fighter jets launched airstrikes against the terrorists’ positions in Lebanon near the border with Syria for the first time on Tuesday.
An informed source told FNA that the attacks were carried out in Ras Baalbek in Lebanon’s Northern Beqaa Valley on Tuesday morning.
The source underlined that the operations were fulfilled successfully and the terrorists sustained fatalities and great damage.
It was the first time that the Russian fighters targeted the terrorists’ positions in Lebanon after they started missions in Syria late September.
On Monday, the Russian helicopters heavily bombed terrorists’ positions in the rugged areas of Qara in Syria and the area separating the Lebanese border town of Al-Qaa from Syrian territories where ISIL and al-Nusra Front terrorists are stationed.
Three Russian helicopters flew over Lebanon’s Northern border with Syria on Sunday.
The Russian airstrikes bombed terrorists’ positions in the rugged areas of Qara in Syria’s Qalamoun and the area separating the Lebanese border town of Al-Qaa from the Syrian territories.
Russia has been conducting precision airstrikes against terrorist positions in Syria at the request of Syrian President Bashar Assad since September 30.
Russia activates TU 95 and TU 22 strategic bombers.. They can carry over 30 tons of bombs.. Actually they could flatten Raqqa in a few days. The TU22’s were the 10 upgraded planes moved closer to the southern borders.. So each TU can take out 50 or so IS targets in a single strike. So it must be the 10 TU22M’s and 15 TU95’s.. They can pack up the 50 planes already in Syria away.. Wooza.. Actually this looks like Russia is getting really serious.. The force assembled here can pretty much vaporize Syria.. Turkey just announced something about invading Syria.. Really???? With this force against him???
The head of the General Staff reported that the new phase of the anti-ISIS campaign will involve 25 long-range bombers flying out of airfields in Russia.
Shoigu said that Russia’s Tu-95, Tu-22 and Tu-160 strategic bombers have been brought into the operation, while the Air Force command added that the strike group has been bolstered with 37 new planes, including Su-34 bombers and Su-27 fighter jets.

Putin invokes the right to self-defense of the UN Charter in response to terrorist attack against the Russian plane
[…]
Our aviation should not simply continue military operations in Syria, but enhance them so as to make it clear to the criminals that vengeance is inevitable.
I would like to ask the Defence Ministry and the General Staff to make their proposals. I will check the progress of this work.
I would like the Russian Foreign Ministry to turn to all our partners. We rely on all our friends in these efforts, including our search for and punishment of the perpetrators.
We will act in compliance with Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, which envisages the right of a state to self-defence.
[…]
Several important pieces of news so far today.It is confirmed by Russia that the plane disaster was a terrorist attack.And the Russian Navy has hit ISIS with Cruise Missiles from ships in the Mediterranean Sea. Hollande is meeting with Putin in Moscow November 26th.And Putin has ordered the Russian Navy to co-operate with the French Navy against ISIS (they already have some experience working with the French Navy with the …cough,cough…Mistrals). And from the more sinister side.As we discussed before,it does appear the empire is plotting to invade Syria.The US has said they will work with Turkey in an operation to “secure” the Syrian border with Turkey.Since,without any big operation they could “just secure” their side of the border.It seems they mean to seize the Syrian side of the border.Which means an invasion of Syrian sovereign territory.The saying that fits that is “give them an inch and they will take a mile”.If they invade,Syria can’t get them out.And the rest of the problem I posted about, is on track to happen.I think its becoming clear now the purpose of those terrorist attacks.To give an excuse to invade Syria.Now the question is, what will Syria,Iran,and Russia do if they do invade.Will they crumble and give in.Or will they stop them before they destroy Syria.Since they aren’t reacting one way or the other yet.Its hard to say what will happen.The only thing I feel safe in predicting is that if you let the empire and their stooges invade they will be like rats,eating away at Syria.The time to stop them is now,don’t let them in.Or be prepared to say goodbye to a free Syria.
Russia involved strategic and long-range bombers in the attacks on “Islamic state” in Syria, reported the head of the Defense Ministry, Sergei Shoigu to President Vladimir Putin
Russian aviation doubled the number of strikes on targets of the “Islamic state” in Syria, this allowed to cover all the objects of terrorists in this country. This was reported by the Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu to President Vladimir Putin.

And they are taking names (also mentioned in Putin’s statement regarding bombing the plane).
In the meantime Fascists in Ukraine are setting themselves up for getting squashed.

Ukrainian nationalist leader: “ISIS is our ally in the struggle against Russia”
[…]
A Ukrainian nationalist, leader of the “Brotherhood,” Dmitry Korchinsky proposed to offer asylum to ISIS terrorists in Kiev, the former head of UNA-UNSO [Ukrainian National Assembly – Ukrainian People’s Self-defense] wrote on his social network page. According to Korchinsky, SBU must see ISIS as “allies in the struggle with Russia.”
[…]
Which means they have just giving Russia a legal opening to to attack the camps where these terrorists are located within the Ukraine, and any other individuals or groups supporting them (read neo-nazis and ultra-nationalists) at the times of Russia’s choosing. Are these guys really that dumb?
Yes they are.And that was what I was hoping they would do.If Russia wants to use it, the Ukrainians just gave them the excuse needed to liberate that country.And Western governments would find it difficult to explain to their public’s why they would be supporting people that aid ISIS.Especially after the Paris attack.How would NATO explain supporting an ISIS friendly junta.I’m not saying Russia will use that “fate provided” opportunity.They have missed several opportunities in the past.But this one is there for them to take.After the plane bombing how hard would it be for internal Russian informational propaganda. To convince the Russian people how much a threat the junta is.And get the support among the public needed to topple them.
$50 mil is more than enough inspiration for some flunky to provide the Russians with all sorts of useful info about the terrorist’s Israeli-American covert handlers. It’s also enough to get those handlers jittery enough to take out their own they any inkling of doubt about. :D
Have a look at the todays evening news of Rossia 1… between 13.45 and 14.00 of the following (in Russian), it seem that Russia start to target ISIS Oil business….
What do people here think about the US planning to strike Russia with nuclear, and Russia’s ability to retaliate? Is is true that the US has or thinks it has a first strike capability?
BS…
The US could easily destroy the russian presence on the ground with conventional capabilities.
The supposed electronic warfare and acces denial ressources the russians have supposedly put in place on the ground seem to be propagada since Israel bombed the Damaskus area several times during the last week and american drones are still operating over western syria.
The only force to be reckoned with is the russian fleet. But they dont wont to start mayor trouble or all out war with Israel or NATO. That’s why they also let the french operate over the levant i think.
Keep on thinking that (until the nukes hit).Napoleon and Hitler,to only mention the most famous,thought they would defeat Russia too. As one of the most famous Western military commanders in the World, said after WW2, “The three rules of warfare are, 1.Never, march on Moscow.2.Never, fight a land war in Asia.3.Never (ever),march on Moscow”.
“The supposed electronic warfare and acces

The Damascus attacks were mortar attacks by IS groups:
from this post, I conclude that the Empire of Chaos have finally succeeded. It succeeded to spread chaos onto it’s own government.
https://www.rt.com/op-edge/322307-us-obama-generals-g20-putin/
What we may be seeing in US policy is competing agendas. The diplomatic track appears to be favored by the White House and State Department as a more efficacious way of achieving regime change against the Syrian government of President Bashar al-Assad. But the Pentagon, and specifically the CIA, has its own militarist schemes, even if that means providing weapons to terror groups with much greater fire power and risking a proxy war with Russia.
The upshot is that US foreign policy is dangerously all over the place because of competing power players within Washington. The disturbing conclusion is that the American president and his State Department are simply not in control. It’s like watching a driver of an articulated truck whose grip on the wheel has no steering.
A deep, darker state within the official state is by no means a new concept to describe American government and its foreign policy. More than 50 years ago, President John F. Kennedy was so perplexed by CIA covert operations undermining him on Cuba and Vietnam that he declared he would “smash it into a thousand pieces.” That intention probably caused Kennedy his life at the hands of the deep state and its military-industrial complex.
Today, it is very doubtful that any American politician would have the courage or conviction to pull rank on the military-industrial complex. The latter appears to be more assertive and belligerent than ever, as can be seen from the seemingly irrational contradictions of US foreign policy on Russia and Syria. And that unaccountable power-play makes for a highly dangerous dynamic.

This sort of Islamophobic bigotry is institutional in the Jewish owned/run western media.
I’m sorry, but this is tending to out and out racism. I have to ask you – all – to please contain your anger and express yourselves in less violent, racial, tones. Thanks very much. mod PS
To the moderator PS: Yes, I agree, you are absolutely right.
At the same time, the amount of self-serving tribal hatred spewed by these two CNN hosts is so typical of much of the current U.S. media discourse and is much too revolting not to provoke anger.
Yes Vot, it is International Financial Oligarch run Western Media not Jewish. Stop being such a racist as you know that Jews are a race and not a religion containing many races :P
Anyway, more than likely Zionist International Financial Oligarch who hides behind the skirts or religion as a means to carry out cart blanch criminality without repercussions. Just ask Igor Kolomoisky or for that matter the shadow Melbourne Drug Lords based in and around East St Kilda and Caufield. Nothing but kust making an honest buck.
@Zion
Jews are a race? Explain that please. I always thought that Judaism is a religion and there are jewish people in Spain, so they are Spaniards, in Italy, so they are Italian and they belong to the jewish religious community and so on. From the “Jewish Virtual Library”:” jews come in all shapes, sizes, ethnicities and nationalities”.
You call yourself Zion. Why if I may ask?
I think that 90% of Zionists are jewish and some non jewish people can be zionists and if most Media are zionist controlled (unfortunately) then they are to 90% controlled by people of jewish faith.
I have pondered that question myself: are Jews a race or a religion.
My conclusion is that it is both. I could be wrong of course, since I am not a scholar on that topic.
It is a race or ethnicity, in the sense that even Jews that no longer believe in Judaism (e.g atheists and communists) often claim they are Jewish.
It is a religion, in the sense that people of obvious other races, once converted to Judaism, now are considered, as well as claim to be Jewish.
The funny (well, not funny, but perhaps a bit querky) thing is that if you combine the 2, you now have Jews who (a) were not the original Jewish race, and (b) are simply descendents of Converted Jews, that no longer believe in Judaism, but are still considered or claim to be Jewish….
What happened to the original Jews? Most of them have become, over the past 2000 years, Palestinians… and are now being discriminated against by the newer Jews…. go figure.
@Alan
The fact that you can convert to Judeaism proves it is not an ethnicity, anymore than Russian Orthodoxy Roman Catholicism or Protestantism are.
However, the Orthodox Jews in nation-states or pre-nation religiously-denominated geographies were hostile to inter-marriage and assimilation. That in turn led to a narrowing of the gene-pool, with more distinctive ‘Jewish’ traits emerging, particularly as they were a religious minority.
I always thought ghettos were imposed on the Jews, but in fact they were a product of anti-assimilation Jewish Orthodoxy.
The reason ethnicity is claimed is because it offers a much stronger historical case for claim to land/territory and the benefits/entitlements of such.
This is why Zionist Jews collaborated with Nazi Germans to colonize Palestine.
In truth, the Jewish settlers/colonists of historical Palestine are mostly European and currently American (though of European origin.) They are Russian, Polish (Benjamin Mileowski, or Netanyahoo as he prefers to be known), German etc.
They are known as Ashkenazis or sometimes Khazars and some of the original Semite Sephardi Jews view them as ‘false Jews’ precisely because they are European-ethnic rather than truly Semite like indigenous Palestinians – Jewish, Christian or Muslim.
This is why I refuse to use the term ‘anti-semite’ in relation to irrational hostility to Jews in general – the term ‘Judaeophobe’ is accurate. In fact the worst anti-semites on the planet are Israeli Jews for their genocidal policy and brutal treatment of indigenous Palestinians.
The fact that you can convert to Judaism proves nothing at all about whether it is an ethnicity.
The fact that a people practices adoption does not change its ethnicity. The fact that a religion accepts converts does not change the religion.
You guys have it backwards. Try applying your theories to something about which you feel more neutral to check the fit. How about “the Senecas adopted people from other tribes, therefore
“Seneca” is not an ethnicity.
Do you see that you have just eliminated “ethnicity” completely as a valid concept? There is no known gene pool of identical people or closely similar people. Rape is too common, for one thing. In Ruanda, where three resident populations were almost absurdly dissimilar — the Hutus, Tutsis and Pygmies — the original genetic types have disappeared in the past few decades of war.
alan, I’d say that these days the Jews are mostly a community of shared interests and values.
Demeter, Shlomo Sand, the Israeli historian, in his ‘The Invention of the Jewish People’ showed that many Jews are descended from groups that converted to Judaism down through the centuries, the most famous the Khazars. Oddly enough the Palestinians are descended from, amongst others, Jews who remained in Palestine after the Roman expulsions, which were not total.
I researched this ‘what is a Jew’ a while back and found no definitive answer. It’s religion, and ethnicity, and culture, and heritage, and legal status — and not. That’s even from Jewish sources.
BTW — I can’t find link to confirm it, but I have read, and it may be, that most zionists are not Jewish — many are Christian zionists — and zionisism is not the same as Jewish by a long way.
Zionism, by various sources, was always anti-Jewish in that the original zionists were atheists who wanted to get away from the image of Jews as the Eastern European peasant jews and become more like ‘modern Europeans’, with a nation (as in nationalism).
For some reason I find the song below strangely appropriate to the question, and I suspect it even has some anti-semitic roots, as related especially to the bearded Jewish immigrants flooding the US.

Straggly raggly hair on his chin
Battered and tattered and ugly as sin
Eagle-eyed and floppy-eared
He’s the man with the weird beard
Who is he, what is he, nobody knows
Both of his heels are as bare as his toes
Never had his whiskers sheared
He’s the man with the weird beard
It ain’t black
It ain’t white
It ain’t short, it ain’t long
It just ain’t right
It’s the craziest garden of hair
Seven robins live in there

I want to also say in this last post (but my internet is up and down like a yoyo tonight making it hard to be coherent) that a Jew is someone who identifies him/her/self as a Jew and is accepted as such by some undefined number or group of people: no objective definition. Even if born of a Jewish mother someone can repudiate his Jewishness. If we say the Jews define what is Jewish we first have to say who the ‘Jews’ are.
But then, there ae many ‘Christians’ saying other ‘Christians’ are or not real ‘Christians’. And with Muslims and other religions.
Maybe the best that can be said is that someone who says they are not something isn’t.
So, I am not saying this is what the Palestinians should do, but hey, that leaves the possibility that all Palestinians can now all become Jews by converting, then they can take over Israel, and there will be no Palestinians to oppress !!!!! Dont get angry, this is partly tongue in cheek.
vot tak, I heard the BBC groveling to Alexandre Kouchner, son of the MSF Zionazi, Bernard. One trusts he is not as corrupt or careless as that other Zionazi scion, Fabius’s son, recently caught with his hand in numerous tills. Young Alexandre described the scene in Paris as ‘…being like East Jerusalem’. For that to be true, of course, numerous Moslem Parisians would have to have been killed by trigger-happy Parisians, a few Africans would be dead owing to ‘mistaken identity’ and a Parisian or two plugged in the cross-fire.
You can see where the mucilaginous little blighter is heading. Israel is fighting the same ‘terror’ as the West, as it slaughters Palestinians with the usual glee. It’s the filthy narrative Satanyahoo et al have been pushing for years. It is, of course, deeply, viciously, racist, where Palestinian or other untermenschen deaths are of no value, while ‘precious Jewish souls’ are, naturally, priceless. They do it with considerable arrogance, of course, knowing that anyone who dares equate a Jewish life as equal in value with a Palestinian, will be shouted down and vilified as an ‘antisemite’.
MM
“They do it with considerable arrogance, of course, knowing that anyone who dares equate a Jewish life as equal in value with a Palestinian, will be shouted down and vilified as an ‘antisemite’.”
And just posting facts gets one smeared as a racist, as I was above. Sad to see the site moderation here devolve to msm levels of bias.
Oh, come on. “Jewish owned/run Western media” was just stupid if it wasn’t intended to be racist. Hollywood has some major Jewish ownership, but the news media for instance not so much. Rupert Murdoch isn’t a Jew last I checked, for example.
I’m not so sure that its “stupid”. The majority of the national news media in the US is Jewish owned,or run,or staffed.That’s not hard to prove,just check out the names of the people involved.And those not Jewish in many cases are Israeli supporters.So whether Jewish or not they are Zionist or neo-con.I think that breakdown,while maybe not quite as extreme, or then,maybe more so,is similar in Canada,Australia,Britain,and France.While members of those groups are also powerful in the media throughout other countries in the EU,Latin America,and in Russia.Again a check of ethnic names and backgrounds is easy to prove that fact.That of course doesn’t mean that those people have no right to be in the professions of their choice,or that some of them aren’t appalled at the Israeli and neo-con actions.Some even side with Russia and the multi-polar World.But still,it is a fact that people of Jewish background do have an overwhelming presence in World media.And as we see the MSM excuse Israeli and neo-con crimes Worldwide.I think there is a strong case to be made that that is a major reason why.Whether Jewish and Zionist influence is as great in the media as it is in Hollywood and the entertainment industry in the US,I’m not sure.But in entertainment related industries that influence is “off the charts” in the amount of control it has.
Purple… Murdock is a Jew…
Murdoch ‘became an American citizen for business reasons,’ according to Richard H. Curtiss, editor of the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. Keith Rupert was born in Melbourne, Australia, on March 11, 1931. ‘Rupert’s father, Sir Keith Murdoch, was a newspaper publisher, and his mother an Orthodox Jew,’ Curtiss wrote, ‘although Murdoch never offers that information in his biographies.’
Murdoch’s father married Elisabeth Joy Greene, daughter of Rupert Greene and Marie de Lancey Forth in 1928. They had one son, Keith Rupert and three daughters. Later in life, Keith Rupert chose to use Rupert, the first name of his Jewish maternal grandfather.
The young Keith Rupert was educated at Australia’s fashionable Geelong private school, and went on to the elitist and aristocratic Oxford University in England, according to Candour (UK) magazine.
‘Rupert’s father Sir Keith Murdoch attained his prominent position in Australian society through a fortuitous marriage to the daughter of a wealthy Jewish family, née Elisabeth Joy Greene. Through his wife’s connections, Keith Murdoch was subsequently promoted from reporter to chairman of the British-owned newspaper where he worked. There was enough money to buy himself a knighthood of the British realm, two newspapers in Adelaide, South Australia, and a radio station in a faraway mining town,’ Candour wrote in 1984. ‘For some reason, Murdoch has always tried to hide the fact that his pious mother brought him up as a Jew.’

“Oh, come on. “Jewish owned/run Western media” was just stupid if it wasn’t intended to be racist.”
You have basically supported a smear from a libelist calling itself Zion. That’s not exactly a smart move in itself. :D
Your attempt to hide murdock’s jewish background has already been shown up as an excercise in willful ignorance, or disinformation, so I won’t waste time on you there.

Plg, you have essentially tanked your credibility with this combination smear trolling and reinforcement of smear trolling by another (what I term zio-gang banging, what Israel Shamir calls S.W.A.R.M. for the this sort of cowardly attack). Anybody reading this exchange will now know that despite the seemingly sympathetic views you often post, your real agenda is essentially the same as that of the Zion commenter. And you sacrificed the credibility you have worked steadily on creating here over many months simply over the phrase Jewish owned/run media.
Now I ask, was that really a very smart thing to do, plg?
Salam vot tak,
According to plg (Purple Library Guy) it was Iran who was complict in Lockerbie, who brought the jet down. It is in this thread a little bit down.
Purple Library Guy qoute: “While I doubt we’ll ever know for sure, I had read a number of articles citing credible evidence that it was Iran before Gaddhafi first “came in from the cold”, certainly well before he was then betrayed and killed by the West. In places like Counterpunch they noted that it was inconvenient for the US to acknowledge that it might have been Iran because, while they constantly called Iran “terrorist”, everyone knew Iran didn’t normally commit such acts, and so the question would instantly come up of why Iran would be doing such an out-of-character thing–”

PLG, the Jews can claim Rupert any time, because his mother, a lovely woman (can you believe it?)who lived to 102, was a Jew. Rupert, either way (and he himself has never claimed to be Jewish, as far as I know)is so fanatically pro-Israel, and ensures that ALL his Empire is also, that it doesn’t matter. Hollywood is overwhelmingly Jewish controlled, not just ‘some major’, and the MSM slightly less so. And the rest are pro-Israel, or else. I can’t see how that can be denied.
“In a classic Putin move, the Russian President presented evidence of G20 member states providing financial support to ISIS…during the G20 summit in Antalya. Speaking with reporters after the summit, Putin revealed:
I provided examples related to our data on the financing of Islamic State units by natural persons in various countries. The financing comes from 40 countries, as we established, including some G20 members”
http://russia-insider.com/en/politics/putin-exposes-g20s-financial-ties-isis-during-antalya-summit/ri11199
G20 = Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States and the EU.
I’d pick France, UK, USA, Saudi and Turkey for sure and maybe Germany. Israel is just too quiet so I am sure they are in too.
How strange that I am not seeing Putin’s bombshell on western MSM yet.
Hi South Front, good analysis….so you don’t think these Paris attacks were coordinated by the Empire ?
http://cluborlov.blogspot.com/2015/11/a-most-convenient-massacre.html
“Am I being crass and insensitive? Not at all—I deplore all the deaths from terrorist attacks in Iraq, in Syria, in Lebanon, and in all the other countries whose populations did absolutely nothing to deserve such treatment. I only feel half as bad about the French, who stood by quietly as their military helped destroy Libya (which did nothing to deserve it).
Note that after the Russian jet crashed in the Sinai there weren’t all that many Facebook avatars with the Russian flag pasted over them, and hardly any candlelight vigils or piles of wreaths and flowers in various Western capitals. I even detected a whiff of smug satisfaction that the Russians got their comeuppance for stepping out of line in Syria.
Why the difference in reaction? Simple: you were told to grieve for the French, so you did. You were not told to grieve for the Russians, and so you didn’t. Don’t feel bad; you are just following orders. The reasoning behind these orders is transparent: the French, along with the rest of the EU, are Washington’s willing puppets; therefore, they are innocent, and when they get killed, it’s a tragedy. But the Russians are not Washington’s willing puppet, and are not innocent, and so when they get killed by terrorists, it’s punishment. And when Iraqis, or Syrians, or Nigerians get killed by terrorists, that’s not a tragedy either, for a different reason: they are too poor to matter. In order to qualify as a victim of a tragedy, you have to be each of these three things: 1. a US-puppet, 2. rich and 3. dead.”
Don’t forget they extorted like close to $3000 million from Libya for lockerbe bombing.. Which was actually an Iranian covert operation in response to the shooting down of an Iranian passenger air liner.. You know where the captain who killed over 200 people got a promotion and medals for the men. What’s worse is the ship that shot down the plane was inside Iranian waters. Wonder why the US did not blame Iran.. The blamed some Libya intelligence agent as being responsible because he went into some shop as evidence? They only killed ghadiffi after they got the money.. after destroying Libya the first thing they did was steal Libya’s gold.. just like they stole Ukraine’s gold..
What proof you have that it was Iranian who did the Lockerbie? I understand it was IsraHell.
Please be careful, as Iran has enough enemies.
Best regards,
Mohamed.
Seriously, where did you come up with that one mmiriw?
The Iranians were responsible for Lockerbie and the Brits let them off the hook? I don’t believe it. I’ve noticed several recent attempts to re purpose the Lockerbie bombing now that Gaddafi is no longer available for scaring the little kiddies.
You need to answer Mohamed’s question or you’re gonna lose all credibility.
While I doubt we’ll ever know for sure, I had read a number of articles citing credible evidence that it was Iran before Gaddhafi first “came in from the cold”, certainly well before he was then betrayed and killed by the West. In places like Counterpunch they noted that it was inconvenient for the US to acknowledge that it might have been Iran because, while they constantly called Iran “terrorist”, everyone knew Iran didn’t normally commit such acts, and so the question would instantly come up of why Iran would be doing such an out-of-character thing–the answer being, as mmiriww said, tit for tat after the shooting down of their own liner, an act the Americans didn’t want talked about and had pretty successfully hushed up.
At the time Gaddhafi was getting all apparently “rehabilitated”, I saw repeated, quite informed, speculations that part of the price he was paying for getting forgiveness from the Godfather was accepting the fall for Lockerbie.
really credibility?? Does that pay anything?? Do I get a star or something I can stick to my warrior keyboard? And stop blaming Israel for everything. I actually support Iran more than Israel but blame should go where it should. Iran unlike most nations will not let anyone including super powers get away with murdering their citizens.. Do you remember the guy who ordered the bombing of a mosque in Lebanon killing like 100 shias? Do you know WHY the US hates Iran so much? That’s because they caught the guy and tortured him to death and mailed the tape to his boss in Langley. The US cant stand anyone who stands upto them and pays back just as much as they get. Although they have been very restrained recently. I don’t think even Russia has as much guts as Iran when it comes to taking revenge. Then again there would be very very few countries who could actually take it and keep standing either..
CI eh? there’s an excellent video ‘The Maltese Double-Cross’, which, when shown on SBS in Australia, contained an excellent discussion panel, that reveals all. The bomb was planted by the PFLP, based in Damascus, working for Iran, as vengeance for the deliberate destruction of the Iranian airbus by the USS Vincennes. It was taken on board by a drug mule being used in a US DEA drug sting, which the PFLP had penetrated. This scenario was quickly established and held to be true, even appearing in the Western MSM, for eighteen months, whereupon the USA required Syrian and Iranian connivance in the destruction of Iraq in the first Gulf War. So, overnight, with total MSM amnesia and Groupthink, the old story disappeared down the Memory Hole, and Libya was fitted up with planted evidence. The ‘trial’ in Holland was described by prominent Scots jurists as one of the blackest episodes in the history of Scottish jurisprudence. That the vermin might now, change the story back to blaming Iran, or even Putin (who knows) would not surprise.

Who is fingering Iran, an ex-traitor who become the first President after the downfall of Shah, who was within one year impeached. A stooge for The Empire.
“Abolhassan Bani-Sadr, a former president of Iran, discusses the idea that Iran took revenge for the shootdown by the USS Vincennes of Iran Air Flight 655 in July 1988.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abolhassan_Banisadr
“Sayyed Abolhassan Banisadr is an Iranian politician, economist and human rights activist. He was the first President of Iran after the 1979 Iranian Revolution abolished the monarchy, serving from 4 February 1980 until he was impeached by parliament on 21 June 1981.
Banisadr went into hiding for a few days before his removal, and hid in Tehran, protected by the People’s Mujahedin (PMOI) . He attempted to organize an alliance of anti-Khomeini factions to retake power, including the PMOI, KDP, and the Fedaian Organisation (Minority), while eschewing any contact with pro-Shah exile groups. He met numerous times while in hiding with PMOI leader Massoud Rajavi to plan an alliance, but after the execution on 27 July of PMOI member Mohammadreza Saadati, Banisadr and Rajavi concluded that it was unsafe to remain in Iran.”

Salam C I eh?,
I guess now you got your answer, and you know who is who on this blog.
Here is a verse from Quran, though as usual it is not a very good translation:
035:018 (Translation by Khan)
And no bearer of burdens shall bear another’s burden, and if one heavily laden calls another to (bear) his load, nothing of it will be lifted even though he be near of kin. You (O Muhammad SAW) can warn only those who fear their Lord unseen, and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat). And he who purifies himself (from all kinds of sins), then he purifies only for the benefit of his ownself. And to Allah is the (final) Return (of all).
Basically, the above verse is refuting the following:
1. No Original Sin: We are not responsible for anyone else sin.
2. Others are not responsible: If someone commits sin/crime against us, their families, friends and/or near ones are not responsible for that sin/crime. Therefore, no retribution should be taken against those who are not responsible.

They probably don’t know what Marja means? Of course, one can Google it.
Thus, no Marja will allow for taking the life of innocent passengers, who had nothing to do with shooting down of Iranian passenger jet. The passengers on Lockerbie are not culprit, their government might be. There were most probably all different nationalities besides USA on Lockerbie, representing most religions including Islam.
Let alone a Marja, even Nasrallah would not do such a thing. However, in war the military targets are different thing, as they as fighting against you.
As far as brother mmiriww is concerned, he quoted a partial quote from other site. I requested him three times:
1. To please quote the full quote.
2. Please understand this quote is in regards to Shia.
3. The Shia are considered, “unbelievers” in this quote, and no one else.
4. This quote is from Abdul Wahhab the founder of Wahhabi Islam.
5. And, the quote is about 200 years old.
He kept replying me on every occasion, “what can he do, I should write to ISIS in attention to: Baghdadi and for sure he will get it.
My simple request for him was to quote the complete quote.
Best regards,

What happened in Paris? Assad had nothing to do with that. You play with fire crackers, sometimes you blow off a finger in the process.. Some stupid people have blown off their entire faces.. That fat guy running France is not a statesman like Assad.. A coward hiding behind his aircraft carrier driving backwards. The damn thing breaks up and sinks and they will blame Assad for the shoddy workmanship.
If anyone deserves A title of President for life it is Assad.
It was during the summer of 2012 when a major attack was launched on Damascus to overthrow the government of President Bashar al-Assad. His defence minister, Dawoud Abdallah Rajiha, along with other senior officials, were assassinated in a bomb attack in a supposedly secure government building. The situation looked bad. Assad’s government seemed on the brink of collapse.
We learned what kind of a leader and a man President Assad was in that grim summer of 2012.
He could easily have accepted western summons to leave Damascus. He is a physician, with a speciality in ophthalmology. He could have gone back to practicing medicine and left Syria to the tender mercies of Jihadists running amuck with foreign support.
Assad did not take that easy way out.
He stayed in Damascus, shared the dangers of his people and led the resistance against the foreign backed Takfiri foreign militias.
Had Damascus fallen, he would surely have forfeited his life. He is now the main leader of the Syrian resistance against the Jihadists.
The conflict in Syria, which is often called a civil war, is not a civil war at all. It is a proxy war of aggression, brokered, bankrolled, and led by the United States, France, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Israel, amongst others, with the intention of destroying the Assad government and breaking up Syria.
The US government took advantage of economic difficulties and bad harvests in Syria to stir up an «Arab Spring». «We’re backing democracy», says Barack Obama. «Airstrike democracy», Vladimir Putin, derisively replied. There are many US airstrikes in the Middle East, but no democracy.
You can’t conduct major military operations, as IS and its affiliates are doing in Syria and Iraq, without massive logistic, material, and financial support.
Large numbers of foreign Jihadists are involved, with estimates of up to 70,000, coming from all points of the unhappy Muslim world. These are not simply dissatisfied young men looking for kicks, money, and a chance at martyrdom; by all accounts many are experienced soldiers capable of seizing and holding territory. It takes time, training, guns, tanks, trucks, supply lines, hospitals, and a lot of money, to create such military formations. All this comes from the United States and its vassals. These actions constitute aggression against a legitimate state fighting for survival.
Even one of their own, a retired Lieutenant General Michael T. Flynn, has told Al Jazeerah that the US government made a «wilful decision» to create and back IS. To divert attention from US collusion, Pot calls Kettle black: the evil doer brazenly accuses his targeted victim of evil. It’s an old US stratagem.
In Syria. Is there any limit to the absurd and the preposterous? There is no «moderate» opposition fighting against the Syrian government. They are Salafist Jihadists, affiliates whatever they call themselves and they have many names, of the same lot of IS serial killers and cannibals. They are cut from the same cloth, weaved by the United States and its vassals. The «moderate» opposition is another Orwellian invention to hide Washington’s support for the murder and mayhem in Syria.
Russian intervention in Syria caught Washington off guard, showing up President Obama and exposing his support of Jihadi terrorists he claims to be fighting.
The United States accused Russia of bombing non-existent hospitals in Syria, shortly after US warplanes destroyed a real hospital in Afghanistan. Pipsqueak Qatar, an IS financier, recently threatened military intervention against Syria, and Saudi Arabia continues to supply and bankroll IS, not to mention its pursuit of a war of aggression against Yemen.
The US Deep State will not forgive President Putin for exposing their bloody hands in the Syrian war. The other day the Secretary of Defence, Ashton Carter, said that he expects that Russia will soon sustain casualties fighting the Jihadi barbarians. It is almost as though he was gloating in anticipation of spilled Russian blood. The Russian government and no doubt most Russians were incensed. Is the United States or its Saudi vassals sending MANPADS, antiaircraft weapons, to the Jihadists, to shoot down Russian aircraft? Would that surprise anyone? Mr Carter, do you think that Russia does not have contingency plans for such an eventuality?
What madness has overcome the US Deep State? The so-called Defence Department, acting like a bully whose dominion over the school yard has been challenged, actually seems to want a confrontation with Russia in Syria to re-establish its reputation and save its Jihadi allies. As if their recent provocations against China are not enough, US officials should be careful, very careful what they wish for.

Russian plane crash in Sinai a terrorist attack – Russian Security Service
The Federal Security Service director also announced a reward of $50 million for information on those behind the terror attack on the A321.
But Russia won’t be “wiping tears from our soul and heart,” he said. “This [tragedy] will stay with us forever. But this won’t stop us from finding and punishing the culprit.”
“Our military work in Syria must not only continue. It must be strengthened in such a way so that the terrorists will understand that retribution is inevitable,” he said.
“We haven’t forgotten anything or anyone. The murder of our nationals in Sinai is among the bloodiest crimes in [terms of] the number of casualties.”

Putin orders to intensify Russian air strikes in Syria
“Tu-160, Tu-95MS, Tu-22MZ aircraft of long-range aviation, along with operative and tactical aviation acting from the Khmeimim airfield, have been additionally involved from the Russian territory to destroy gangs,” Shoigu said.
“Today, from 05:00 to 05:30 Moscow Time, 12 Tu-22MZ long-range bombers delivered strikes at facilities of the ISIL terrorist organization [former name of Islamic State] in the province of Rakka,” he said.
“From 09:00 to 09:40, Tu-160 and Tu-95MS strategic missile carriers launched 34 aircraft-based cruise missiles at militants’ targets in the provinces of Aleppo and Idlib,” Shoigu said.
According to the minister, Russian aircraft have doubled the number of strikes against Islamic State facilities in Syria, which made it possible to cover all terrorist facilities in the country.

“As part of the air operation, a massive air strike is being delivered at ISIL [former Islamic State name] facilities in Syria,” Shoigu said.
“The number of sorties has been doubled, which makes it possible to deliver powerful precise strikes at ISIL facilities in Syria,” he said.
Shoigu specified that Russian warplanes flew 127 sorties to hit 266 terrorist targets in Syria, and 140 targets were destroyed.
25 long-range planes to be involved in strikes against Islamic State
Russia’s Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov told Vladimir Putin that Russia will use long-range planes in addition to bombers and fighter jets to deliver strikes on Islamic State targets in Syria.
“To fulfil your orders to intensify strikes against targets of the Islamic State and other extremist organizations, the General Staff has worked out a plan of further air operation. Along with the intensification of sorties from the Hmeymim airbase in Syria, the plan provides to involve an extra of 25 long-range planes, eight Sukhoi-34 bombers, four Sukhoi-27SM fighter jets,” he said.

Another notch on Putins belt.. So that’s what all the helicopters were doing this morning…
TEHRAN (FNA)- The Russian fighter jets launched airstrikes against the terrorists’ positions in Lebanon near the border with Syria for the first time on Tuesday.
An informed source told FNA that the attacks were carried out in Ras Baalbek in Lebanon’s Northern Beqaa Valley on Tuesday morning.
The source underlined that the operations were fulfilled successfully and the terrorists sustained fatalities and great damage.
It was the first time that the Russian fighters targeted the terrorists’ positions in Lebanon after they started missions in Syria late September.
On Monday, the Russian helicopters heavily bombed terrorists’ positions in the rugged areas of Qara in Syria and the area separating the Lebanese border town of Al-Qaa from Syrian territories where ISIL and al-Nusra Front terrorists are stationed.
Three Russian helicopters flew over Lebanon’s Northern border with Syria on Sunday.
The Russian airstrikes bombed terrorists’ positions in the rugged areas of Qara in Syria’s Qalamoun and the area separating the Lebanese border town of Al-Qaa from the Syrian territories.
Russia has been conducting precision airstrikes against terrorist positions in Syria at the request of Syrian President Bashar Assad since September 30.
http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.aspx?nn=13940826000586
Russia activates TU 95 and TU 22 strategic bombers.. They can carry over 30 tons of bombs.. Actually they could flatten Raqqa in a few days. The TU22’s were the 10 upgraded planes moved closer to the southern borders.. So each TU can take out 50 or so IS targets in a single strike. So it must be the 10 TU22M’s and 15 TU95’s.. They can pack up the 50 planes already in Syria away.. Wooza.. Actually this looks like Russia is getting really serious.. The force assembled here can pretty much vaporize Syria.. Turkey just announced something about invading Syria.. Really???? With this force against him???
The head of the General Staff reported that the new phase of the anti-ISIS campaign will involve 25 long-range bombers flying out of airfields in Russia.
Shoigu said that Russia’s Tu-95, Tu-22 and Tu-160 strategic bombers have been brought into the operation, while the Air Force command added that the strike group has been bolstered with 37 new planes, including Su-34 bombers and Su-27 fighter jets.

Putin invokes the right to self-defense of the UN Charter in response to terrorist attack against the Russian plane
[…]
Our aviation should not simply continue military operations in Syria, but enhance them so as to make it clear to the criminals that vengeance is inevitable.
I would like to ask the Defence Ministry and the General Staff to make their proposals. I will check the progress of this work.
I would like the Russian Foreign Ministry to turn to all our partners. We rely on all our friends in these efforts, including our search for and punishment of the perpetrators.
We will act in compliance with Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, which envisages the right of a state to self-defence.

Several important pieces of news so far today.It is confirmed by Russia that the plane disaster was a terrorist attack.And the Russian Navy has hit ISIS with Cruise Missiles from ships in the Mediterranean Sea. Hollande is meeting with Putin in Moscow November 26th.And Putin has ordered the Russian Navy to co-operate with the French Navy against ISIS (they already have some experience working with the French Navy with the …cough,cough…Mistrals). And from the more sinister side.As we discussed before,it does appear the empire is plotting to invade Syria.The US has said they will work with Turkey in an operation to “secure” the Syrian border with Turkey.Since,without any big operation they could “just secure” their side of the border.It seems they mean to seize the Syrian side of the border.Which means an invasion of Syrian sovereign territory.The saying that fits that is “give them an inch and they will take a mile”.If they invade,Syria can’t get them out.And the rest of the problem I posted about, is on track to happen.I think its becoming clear now the purpose of those terrorist attacks.To give an excuse to invade Syria.Now the question is, what will Syria,Iran,and Russia do if they do invade.Will they crumble and give in.Or will they stop them before they destroy Syria.Since they aren’t reacting one way or the other yet.Its hard to say what will happen.The only thing I feel safe in predicting is that if you let the empire and their stooges invade they will be like rats,eating away at Syria.The time to stop them is now,don’t let them in.Or be prepared to say goodbye to a free Syria.
It’s beginning to look like ISIS, with the attack on A321, finally got Putin and the Russians really pissed off.

Ukrainian nationalist leader: “ISIS is our ally in the struggle against Russia”
[…]
A Ukrainian nationalist, leader of the “Brotherhood,” Dmitry Korchinsky proposed to offer asylum to ISIS terrorists in Kiev, the former head of UNA-UNSO [Ukrainian National Assembly – Ukrainian People’s Self-defense] wrote on his social network page. According to Korchinsky, SBU must see ISIS as “allies in the struggle with Russia.”
[…]
Which means they have just giving Russia a legal opening to to attack the camps where these terrorists are located within the Ukraine, and any other individuals or groups supporting them (read neo-nazis and ultra-nationalists) at the times of Russia’s choosing. Are these guys really that dumb?
Yes they are.And that was what I was hoping they would do.If Russia wants to use it, the Ukrainians just gave them the excuse needed to liberate that country.And Western governments would find it difficult to explain to their public’s why they would be supporting people that aid ISIS.Especially after the Paris attack.How would NATO explain supporting an ISIS friendly junta.I’m not saying Russia will use that “fate provided” opportunity.They have missed several opportunities in the past.But this one is there for them to take.After the plane bombing how hard would it be for internal Russian informational propaganda. To convince the Russian people how much a threat the junta is.And get the support among the public needed to topple them.

Next, to determine which Israeli or American explosives factory the explosives were made in.
And they have put on the table a 50 Million $ reward for any information…
Quiet a serious amount… as much as Ben Laden, no ?
$50 mil is more than enough inspiration for some flunky to provide the Russians with all sorts of useful info about the terrorist’s Israeli-American covert handlers. It’s also enough to get those handlers jittery enough to take out their own they any inkling of doubt about. :D

What do people here think about the US planning to strike Russia with nuclear, and Russia’s ability to retaliate? Is is true that the US has or thinks it has a first strike capability?
BS…
The US could easily destroy the russian presence on the ground with conventional capabilities.
The supposed electronic warfare and acces denial ressources the russians have supposedly put in place on the ground seem to be propagada since Israel bombed the Damaskus area several times during the last week and american drones are still operating over western syria.
The only force to be reckoned with is the russian fleet. But they dont wont to start mayor trouble or all out war with Israel or NATO. That’s why they also let the french operate over the levant i think.

Vlad vows to punish the guilty
Keep on thinking that (until the nukes hit).Napoleon and Hitler,to only mention the most famous,thought they would defeat Russia too. As one of the most famous Western military commanders in the World, said after WW2, “The three rules of warfare are, 1.Never, march on Moscow.2.Never, fight a land war in Asia.3.Never (ever),march on Moscow”.
Genghis Khan forgot to read that book.
