Igor Sergun has died at age 58.
MOSCOW — Col. Gen. Igor D. Sergun, who oversaw covert military operations for Russia as the director of its military intelligence service, died on Monday. He was 58.
The Defense Ministry, which published an obituary on Tuesday on its website, did not specify where he died or give the cause.
General Sergun had managed the Main Intelligence Directorate of Russia’s General Staff, commonly known as the G.R.U., since late 2011.
I read he died of a heart attack.
Last item 14 above:”Coca-Cola Recognizes Crimea as Part of Russia, Makes Kiev Leadership Angry”
The Kiev junta, sorry ‘leadership’, simply doesn’t realise the global importance of the Coca-Cola company.
Elevated above doomsday nuclear war even, this was enshrined by Bat Guano in Dr. Strangelove:
“Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Colonel… that Coca-Cola machine. I want you to shoot the lock off it. There may be some change in there.
Colonel “Bat” Guano: That’s private property.
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Colonel! Can you possibly imagine what is going to happen to you, your frame, outlook, way of life, and everything, when they learn that you have obstructed a telephone call to the President of the United States? Can you imagine? Shoot it off! Shoot! With a gun! That’s what the bullets are for, you twit!
Colonel “Bat” Guano: Okay. I’m gonna get your money for ya. But if you don’t get the President of the United States on that phone, you know what’s gonna happen to you?
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: What?
Colonel “Bat” Guano: You’re gonna have to answer to the Coca-Cola company”
There you have it ladies and gentlemen -the immense and supreme importance of the Coca-Cola company..
Thank you Baaz, for this interesting collection.

Here is another one: Internal War Is Now On The Horizon For America http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-01-07/internal-war-now-horizon-america
I enjoyed the Bosnian Serbs’ funny music.
As for the blind Bulgarian prophet: I don’t know if her prophecies are correct enough (she predicted some events in a more or less arbitray manner, which will always happen somehow somewhere [floods, volcano]).
As for the other ones it is like with Nostradamos: Those who make money selling books etc, can we be sure they didn’t re-write all stories every year?
I don’t want to diminish her. I simply hope for all of us that she is wrong with “Europe will be empty wasteland before turing into a Caliphate”.
Communism will return when? in 60 years? Dammn! What if I cannot wait that long (busy schedule …) ??
of course she/he, the prophet, prophets are wrong.. they all are.. wrong that is – including st john of the new testament..
the one time programming does not apply any more..it’s a clean slate since 2009 and no prophets’ prophecies apply any longer.
please refer to Александр Михайлович Хатыбов
a formiable mathematician who worked it out..
best wishes
Thanks Baaz… like the clean format.
Thanks mate. I loved living in Melbourne few years ago.where in oz r u ?

Hi Baaz, thanks for the sitrep, we haven seen you here for a long time !!
Biggest attraction to join IS, “I can be gangsta if I want too” and no one can stop me! Rape, molest and kill anyone…. Thug life erdo style…
He has a cold, arrogant look in his eyes and brandishes a pistol held sideways, aping American ‘gangsta style’. Kneeling before him are five men in orange jumpsuits identified as ‘British spies’. In fact they may just be Syrian journalists whose ‘crime’ was simply trying to do honest reporting about the so-called Islamic State. I have a sickening feeling that one of them supplied pictures I used in a piece for the BBC when I was on the Syrian border last year. Of course, the men are killed in the video.
The group has suffered a string of defeats in recent months. The tally so far includes the town of Kobani in northern Syria; Sinjar, in Iraq, which fell to the Kurds in November; and Ramadi, taken back by the Iraqi army two weeks ago. Fighters who promised to love death as we much as we love life appear to be losing their nerve. In Sinjar, there are reports that two ‘brigades’ of fighters deserted. In Ramadi, there was no bitter struggle to the last suicide vest. Instead, Isis melted away, leaving behind booby traps and car bombs to slow the Iraqi advance.
A friend of mine, a diplomat, has developed sources within the group and he describes a very different Isis from the one we see in their propaganda videos: ‘Morale is plummeting within Isis, especially among foreign fighters,’ he says. ‘Many European foreign fighters in particular are packing it in. Many want to defect. Whole units have just gone away in Iraq… the Islamic State is in crisis.’
There was a struggle within the Isis leadership between hawks and doves, the diplomat said, with the hardliners gaining the upper hand. But they were frustrated at being unable to mount big, shock attacks as they did in 2014.
Some do find they like life under the caliphate. A British recruit to Isis described the attraction to me once. ‘It’s a really good feeling. You can go around without anybody trying to harass you [for being a Muslim],’ he said. ‘I don’t miss a thing about Britain. Here, I can drive, I don’t need a licence. If I want to watch TV, I don’t need a licence for that either. I can walk around with a Kalashnikov, with an RPG [rocket-propelled grenade] if I want to. It’s total freedom, thanks be to God. It’s like I’m flying.’
she was put into a prison for women, all foreigners, all widows of executed men or wives of men held in Isis dungeons. There were some 300 women in the prison, she remembered. They were watched all the time. Two people were executed for trying to smuggle in mobile phones for them. The only way out permitted was by marriage
Isis is not a monolith but a coalition. That coalition includes criminal gangs and groups of tribal fighters whose sheikhs have pledged loyalty to the caliphate. I watched the Kurds battle Isis for possession of one town in eastern Iraq. Kurdish intelligence said they were facing a force of about 800. That consisted of around 650 locals and some 150 outsiders, Isis shock troops led by a commander who brought with him a bag of cash for the sheikh and promises to protect the tribe against all enemies.
When Isis looked unstoppable 18 months ago, the criminal gangs and the Sunni tribal leaders all wanted to sign up with a winner.
Isis are not an organised army based in large barracks easy to spot from 10,000 feet up. They are a ragtag militia living and moving among the population.
Abu Ibrahim — the activist smuggling people out of Isis territory — told me the war would never be won from the air, nor with the US-led coalition’s existing allies on the ground. ‘How many airstrikes have they carried out? The Pentagon says it is actually 9,400. If a quarter of that effort was used for the ground battle, Isis would have already been crushed.’
In Iraq, it is true, the government has taken back Ramadi, and before that Baji and Tikrit. But the Iraqi army is as much a business as a military force. Many of its officers are there to enrich themselves, happy to leave the fighting to Shia militias (paid for and directed by Iran).
The die-hard loyalists would be left, including many British jihadis. One British official who deals with this issue compared the core of Isis to the SS in Nazi Germany: fanatics who would never give up. These are people who believe literally that they are about to fight the final battle, ordained by prophecy and scripture, marking the End of Days.
It will be fought against the West and its allies and will take place in Syria.

“A British recruit to Isis described the attraction to me once. ‘It’s a really good feeling. You can go around without anybody trying to harass you [for being a Muslim],”
If that was all he wanted he could have immigrated to any Muslim state and felt the same thing. I suspect it was more the, ” I can walk around with a Kalashnikov, with an RPG [rocket-propelled grenade] if I want to. It’s total freedom, thanks be to God. It’s like I’m flying”, feeling he was after. But somehow the “bullet in the head” feeling he may well end up with,may not be as good for him.
For a mainstream British outlet this article is lacking in propaganda.. They even say IS is made up of gangs and thugs mostly with a hardcore believer element.. In fact of the the terrorists are just that.. They are all mostly criminals. The Syrian government will let those who were forced by their officers to defect to go back to the SAA or as civilians.. But the FSA is like only less than 30,000 even using nato’s numbers.. While nursa and IS are over 100K at least.. Just from the behavior I figured out these guys are mostly thugs like any gang. They join IS and nurse etc because it lets them run around being able to do their criminal enterprises.. Heck many of these guys even charge the civilians money to get food that the red cross or relief orgs give them. We already know aloosh opened some super markets once he got into power.. where did he get the money to open super markets? Not like he can take a loan from the bank.. He stole the building and the stuff in it and sells it to desperate people.. He was supposedly the best hope for mankind I mean Syrian democracy.. The guy who places minority women in cages and hang them on the roof..
Pepe think it is the US trying to drop oil prices, Iranian heavy crude is selling for under $30.. The light crude is currently around $33.. How much would it cost Russia to go to war to destroy those trying to destroy her? Trillions? Death in the tens of millions and hundreds of millions left on the street.. Russia has increased Oil supplies even before price crashed through $80 where the Saudi’s thought could take out the US shale producers.. And Russia will produce more oil this year than ever before.. Iran has also said they would produce as much oil as they can even at $5.. It all looks illogical unless the plan is to use the same tactic against your enemies.. neither Iran or Russia is more then 20% dependent on Oil.. And too late now, SA just realized that Russia will drop prices under $30… It will take down the biggest oil producers in a couple of years.. The cost would be no where close to what a real hot war would cost.. With no Petro Dollars, the US empire will collapse faster than the financial meltdown of 2008..
Saudi-Iranian Spat: Another Skirmish In The Oil War By Pepe Escobar
Persian Gulf traders have confirmed the 2016 Saudi budget is based on an average crude oil price of only $29 per barrel, as first reported by Jadwa Investment in Riyadh.
A case can be made that the House of Saud’s low oil price strategy has been a slow motion Wahhabi hara-kiri from the start (which, by the way, is hardly a bad thing.)
The House of Saud budget has collapsed. Riyadh is financing an unwinnable, mightily expensive war on Yemen, financing and weaponizing all manner of Salafi-jihadists in Syria, and is spending fortunes to prop up al-Sisi in Egypt against any possible Daesh (Islamic State) and/or Muslim Brotherhood offensive.
Oil went down to $7.00 a barrel in 1985, and that low figure is where the US government is now trying to drive the price down. Yet today the global glut is less than three percent of the oil supply, not 20 percent as in 1985.
The surplus today is only 2.2 million barrels a day, according to Petroleum Intelligence Weekly. Iran will bring on initially around 600,000 barrels a day of new oil in 2016. That means later this year we will have a 2.8-million potential surplus.
By mid-2016, oil prices should start surging dramatically, even with additional oil from Iran.
So the US government strategy has now metastasized into trying to destroy the Russian economy before the oil price inevitably recovers. That would give the US government a window of opportunity spanning only the next six months.
How this could have been pulled off so far is a testament, once again, to the irresistible force of Wall Street manipulators using cash settlement; they are able to create a crash where there is hardly any surplus oil at all.

Regarding source 3 in Europe: it’strange how journalists report on the bombing of Yugoslavia when in fact they are referring to the bombing of Serbia & Montenegro. I believe Slovenia and Croatia had already joined NATO by then…?

You are “Serbian Girl” from Serbia???
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugoslavia#Timeline
The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia aspired to be a sole legal successor to the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, but those claims were opposed by the other former republics. The United Nations also denied its request to automatically continue the membership of the former state.[26] Eventually, after the overthrow of Slobodan Milošević from power as president of the federation in 2000, the country dropped those aspirations, accepted the opinion of the Badinter Arbitration Committee about shared succession, and reapplied for and gained UN membership on 2 November 2000.[6] (From 1992 to 2000, some countries, including the United States, had referred to the FRY as Serbia and Montenegro.[27]) In April 2001, the five successor states extant at the time drafted an Agreement on Succession Issues, signing the agreement in June 2001.[28][29] Marking an important transition in its history,
*****the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was officially renamed Serbia and Montenegro in 2003.*****
What was it last week, you know about Yugoslavia?, and I know nothing?
You may be in your earliest twenties and your schoolbooks must have been donated by the N.E.D and printed in the US.

I forgot your other “almost correct”:
Slovenia joined NATO in 2004 if my meory serves, and Croatia in 2008, no it must have been 2009.
Until 2003 even though it was only Serbia and Montenegro they kept the official name of Yugoslavia,as the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. So during the NATO bombing it would still have been “Yugoslavia”. In the West they refused to use that name and called them Serbia and Montenegro.But officially that was their name. Just as Russia is officially the Russian Federation. But most people just use the name “Russia”.
@ uncle bob
Of course you are right back then it was “rump” Yugoslavia.
Since this article is quite recent I just think it is more accurate to refer to the state(s) as they call themselves today esp to avoid confusion between the two Yugoslav states that existed i.e. original pre break up YU and “rump” YU.
as an add-on: I believe that the national history of rump Yugoslavia, and its resistance to NATO, now rightfully belongs to the people of Serbia and Montenegro (who endured the bombing campaign).
Yes,but since the West refused to use the word “Yugoslavia”,I think they wanted to destroy the unity of the country (and did). I find it a plot to end even the “Serb” ethnic unity of the region. Since anyone knows that studies ethnicity, Montenegrin’s and Serbians are a single people ,not two. Much as the Ukrainians and Russians,except with even less of a difference in history. So in actuality,the name should never have been changed in the first place. Doing so only allows the US/NATO plan of “divide and rule” to win in that area. By going along with them. We let “regionalism” triumph among ourselves. And even we ourselves play the empire’s game.
of course you are entitled to personal opinion, but: opinions for opinions, facts for facts…not acceptable to offer ‘personal’ facts up for discussion.. best to refer to history as was/is.
@Ib
So when you write “best to refer to history as is/ was” is that your opinion or is that fact?
Because I have seen that both are used in interchangeably in news articles and textbooks. Usually we are Serbs when they are attributing some negative characteristic during the war but we become Yugoslavs when they describe our suffering.
> Usually we are Serbs when they are attributing some negative characteristic during the war
> but we become Yugoslavs when they describe our suffering.
That’s true.
But you only appear to read WESTern publications (which explains our earlier trouble).
p.s. With Russia vs. Soviet Union it was to some extent similar, also in this aspect.
They always called the Soviet Union “Russia” when they wanted to blame the evil evil evil Russians for something, like in your case the Serbs.
@lb:
Absolutely correct.
And I recall very well that Yugoslavia was more than simply some name even in the early 2000’s after those tyrants expelled Milosevic to The Hague (where they probably killed him because they absolutely couldn’t deny his arguments, although he was self-defending without a lawyer).
It was a Patt situation similar to that of Russia versus the Soviet Union in 1990/1991 (Yeltsin against Gorbachev): With two governments in place controlling the same area, while hating each other, disrespecting one another and being involved in a fight for personal power and private glory (and definitely western blood-Dollars).
There was the government of Yugoslavia (consisting of only Serbia and Montenegro) and the governments of Serbia and Montenegro respectively.
This only from my memory. I bet there must be interesting articles about that topic. Anyone?
yugoslavia was comprised of serbia and montenegro back then – that’s after slovenia, croatia, BiH, macedonia split away.
and no, slovenia and croatia hadn’t yet become nato members, only actively collaborating with US military much like ukraine these days.
“Actively collaborating with US much like Ukraine these days”..
Which part of Ukraine?
This is exactly the point I was making. When giving national labels to ethnic groups you might attribute certain historical events and actions to them which do not apply. ( even if at the time of the event they were indeed part of the same country)
Yes,at that time over 1/4 of the overall population of Croatia was Serb (centuries old settlements). While in certain areas Serbs made up the majorities. And that doesn’t count those in Croatia that were “Yugoslav” in loyalty. Now, after the massive cleansing, those populations are much smaller. Except for some small areas of Croatia (small compared to the other areas), the major divide between Croats and Serbs was/is religion. And the history of being ruled by separate foreign peoples. The Hungarians,then Austro-Hungarians,in the case of the Croats. And the Ottoman Turks in the case of the Serbs. Ethnically,most historians (outside those countries.And some inside them.) consider them to be one ethnicity.Brothers at the very least. While the Slovenes and Macedonians would be considered separate Slavic peoples (cousins). But in the case of the Slovenes,a little closer relationship than with the Macedonians (who are classed as brothers to the Bulgarians).
i was not on about parts, rather abpit the USURPER ukraine government. it does still exist unfortunately, does it not?
p.s. no point in nit picking
thanks
UTTERLY OFF TOPIC
Steve Jobs was bold, brilliant … and CIA.
Another scoop by Miles Mathis, who, in the last couple of years, has done single-handedly more to deconstruct the humongous fakery that is sold us as ‘history’ than all of academia and the ‘truther movement’ taken together. Keep going, Miles!
http://mileswmathis.com/jobs.pdf
“I had no idea I would be writing on Jobs today until about ten minutes ago, when I began writing on Jobs. I was researching something else, Jobs’ picture came up in the news, and I googled on him. When I got to his Wiki page I began reading, and I realized how easy it would be to expose him. The page is absurdity, and I could see through it like thinnest glass. It had all the signs of being written by a committee in Langley: full of obvious holes, contradictions, and non sequiturs, plus a total disrespect for its audience.”
I discovered his work couple of months ago, and so far I’ve really enjoyed the combination of logic & circumstantial evidence. Will check the “Job’s job” for sure…
On the other hand, I’m not sure, whether my neurons’ network is cabable of enjoying & appreciating his scientific contribution ;)
ps: have you read the Lennon paper?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvLsWFcK2Ck
“have you read the Lennon paper?”
Of course! :-) I have read and reread almost all of his stuff.
Except for the scientific papers. Not that i didn’t try. The problem I faced was twofold. Neither could I wrap my head around the discussed ‘orthodox theories’, nor could I appreciate the finesse and subtlety of Miles Mathis revolutionary improvements upon them. :-)
“Except for the scientific papers”
my words… :-D
I learned from Jan Irvin and his hosts at GnosticMedia.com about the “counter culture” fake. But Miles’ paper “The Stolen Century” just showed me, that it’s much older & wider “project” of social/culture engineering. And me stupid trying to decode & understand James Joyce, for example! ;)
A nazi documentary is being promoted in a putinist blog. A massive rape drama involving hundreds of actors right in the centre of Köln that no camera captured.

1000 Migrants Gang Rape, Sexually Assault and Rampage in German City (+ Video)

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=cologne+rape
Then read the eyewittness accounts.
Real Rape was prevented only by means of hundreds of police personell (way too few).
And if you take the time to google up the definition of “sexual assault”, it is not required that the victim got penetrated and afterwards killed (in today’s reality however paper is very patient and not even a 100 deaths would change anything, I hope I am wrong, but check the facts in 1 year).
p.s. I myself was beaten up in Bosnia (by a rich man! the poor are often very good people)
First he completely unexpectedly threw me to the bottom, then kicked my head for 2 minutes with full force! It was a wonder I’m not blind now, the ey was completely red (from blood).
But sing “refugees welcome” until they laugh about your ignorance and naividy and stick a knive in your back (literally).
To all sins and virtues uninformed daydreamers. You probably didn’t see this then either, am I correct?

Syrian migrants throwing away food and water in Hungary SEP 03 2015

Boy, I’m only still here because I have a few important persons.
But I know it won’t be safe here in the future.
I wish folks like you “good friendships” with the newcomers.
Maybe they let you alive (if you convert or if you are somehow useful to them).
Look at Serbia’s history under Ottoman tyranny.
In Soviet times we had a small controlled regulated immigration offering those in need free healthcare, free education, a paid job, respect, recognition, a roof.
After some years they had to return and could use their newly learned skills to build up their countries.
Too much control is extremely bad.
There is only one thing which is even worse: _NO_ control.
Culture and civilization – it is all about norms and controls.
If you take that away we are literally back in the dark ages.

Manbij final assault actually started last night (confirmed)
After 3 days of US strikes on ISIS @ Manbij & major SDF vehicle deployment, claims that Manbij offensive started
US & Russians taking turns to bomb Manbij..
There is some suggestion that ISIS got the jump on SDF, which isn’t all that surprising since SDF was advancing on a very narrow front with flanks exposed to a 500m mountain & a hill held by ISIS on both sides.
Daesh attack was huge and came from 2 axes: 1. Manbij. 2, Hills south of Tishreen dam.
100’s of fighters, 10s of tanks, armored vehicles
Many casualties on both sides. Coalition bombed & hit several tanks/units too. After attack was repelled now new attack
Daesh attack was combined with attacks near Ain Issa & southern Kobanî countryside. ARA Arabic.
Looks like SDF is going to beat ISIS to Tel Rifaat.
However, after months of fighting with the Islamist rebels of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) in the provincial capital of the Dara’a Governorate, the Syrian Arab Army’s 5th Armored Division is finally within a few hundred meters of the Jordanian-Syrian border-crossing.
The Islamists were able to hold their positions at the Dara’a Border Inspection Facility; however, their backs are currently against the wall, as the Syrian Armed Forces are within a few hundred meters of the provincial capital’s border-crossing.

Hey Saker,
I just stumbled upon an article in an Austrian magazine called Contra where they reference your article on the German language Saker site.
Get this: they explain that a Russian technology called SITREP is so powerful that the whole of NATO is terrified:
(Highlight is my own)
Your situational reports are being mistaken for the latest Russian technology – Darth Vader would be so proud of you!
Inevitably, they turn Russia’s increase in military power into an argument to increase NATO’s military budget (as per German NATO General Hans-Lothar Domröse), but by now NATO will point at anything to argue for a higher budget.
Cheers,
Marco
@Marco
Hilarious !!!
You should write in and tell them “SITREP technology” also has a built-in features to remedy low IQ. Maybe they should purchase one..

Saudi Arabia Set to Try 4 Iranians on Terrorism, Spying Charges
TEHRAN (FNA)- Saudi Arabia plans to try four Iranians on espionage and terrorism charges, the kingdom’s media outlets said on Friday, a move that is widely seen as yet another part of the crisis-escalation policy pursued by Riyadh against Tehran.
The Riyadh government intends to try three Iranians on alleged terrorism charges and another individual for cooperation with Iran’s intelligence ministry, the Saudi media reported.

US Ground Troops Deployed in Syria’s Aleppo
TEHRAN (FNA)- The US ground forces have been stationed in the surrounding areas of Tishrin Dam Northeast of Aleppo province after the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) seized full control of the dam from the ISIL nearly two weeks ago, media reports disclosed on Friday.
“The US troops are presently in control of the Tishrin Dam,” the Arabic service of Deutsche Welle news channel quoted Syria’s Local Coordinating Committees as saying on Friday.

“The ISIL launched an offensive at the Deir Ezzur airbase around the Southeastern perimeter of this large military base in Eastern Syria,” the army said.

DAYR EL-ZOR: ISIS tried once again to overrun the stubborn Dayr El-Zor Military Airbase, attacked from both the north and east, coming out of Jafra Village, Huwayjat Sakr, Al-Muree’iyya Farms and Al-Dughaym. The assault started on December 5, 2016 at night and ended a few hours ago with the complete defeat of the ISIS vermin.
Example of how it’s done time & time again—plan a Wag The Dog distraction, like when the Clingon ordered a drive-by cruising of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade in 1999 at the time he was on the ropes.
Sanaa embassy bombing was Thursday 7th, right before the UN report released.
ERBIL, Kurdistan Region-Tehran accused Saudi Arabia on Thursday of bombing its embassy in the Yemeni capital Sana in a “deliberate and intentional act”, that wounded a number of embassy staff.

http://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2016/01/08/445048/UN-Yemen-Saudi-Arabia-Ban-kimoon-cluster-bomb/
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has expressed concern over Saudi Arabia’s intensifying airstrikes against civilians in Yemen, warning that Riyadh’s use of cluster bombs in the capital, Sana’a, may amount to a “war crime.”
UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters on Friday that Ban is “deeply concerned” about Saudi Arabia’s intensification of airstrikes in residential areas and on civilian buildings in the Yemeni capital, including the Chamber of Commerce, a wedding hall and a center for the blind, “despite repeated calls for a renewed cessation of hostilities.”
He added that the UN chief has also received “troubling reports” that cluster munitions have been used against civilians in many locations in Sana’a.

Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler’s book on his political ideology and plans for Germany, has been republished in Germany following a decades-long ban.
Hitler’s political testament hit the bookshops in Germany on Friday, for the first time in 70 years.
Since World War II, the Allies had refused to allow the republication of the banned book in Germany out of respect for the war victims and to prevent the incitement of hatred among Germans against non-Germans.

Europe #7 is either a dirty trick on Baaz or by Baaz. Which is it? More damaging to this site than a pro-Bandera documentary would be. For what purpose was this allowed through and why is it still up?
I have to agree with you. That is a piece of revisionist propaganda. Making the nazis the “good guys” and the Soviets (among others) the villains. I would be surprised if it wasn’t on the “must see TV” list for the Right Sector and Azov thugs in Banderastan.

I posted this pic of a funeral yesterday, it was for a fighter for the YPG.. seemed strange to get such support since only honored fighters get a procession…
Seems it is a huge deal.. Assad supporting terrorists.. against Turkey.. Since Russia is also supporting YPG with air strikes.. well….. Turkey blocks YPG from entering Turkey or being buried..
https://twitter.com/dijraberi/status/685542112855756802
Don’t know enough to “know”.. but it is something brewing… Assad saying he was supplying YPG.. That the Syrian state supports the YPG and they act within regulations…. cryptic words…. about the kurds..
And then you have penny who talks about Kurdish imperialism.. an empire comprising of turkey, iran, Iraq and Syria.. who will kill all turks, arabs, christians and goats and make the land fit for yaks like it should be..
Source 7 for Europe is a piece of crude neo-Nazi propaganda. How can you allow this kind of rabid antisemitic filth to creep into your blog, Saker? Very disappointing! You risk losing any credibility you may have among your readers. I would advise you not to rely on this Baaz, whoever he or she might be – gullible and misinformed at best, most probably a fool, possibly an agent provocateur.
Hi Bazarov
> The History of The Jews and Adolf Hitler reveled. Documentary. (Graphic)
I don’t know Baaz enough and in the past he posted some interesting links.
But I must totally agree with you that _this_ Hitler-shit should never have been published.
And it has moved my postition towards Baaz (whoever he is) from neutral/positive to I_cannot_believe_my_eyes.
Maybe he is from Serbia.
After some recent and less recent experiences (also in personal talks in Voivodina to locals) I must say: Often enough those people mix stuff in a dangerous manner.
If I then correct them on a matter of facts basis, no response or they cannot deal with a correction and hate me from then on.
Fact is, this link should never have appeared here.
But in recent weeks we had so many antisemites ranting around here posing as “Experts” in the comments section, I often enough got the feeling that those folks love Hitler and hate the Soviet Union.
It is exactly on the same level as this:
https://www.youtube.com/results?q=hitler+justified+1941
Adolf Hitler´s Rede zum Einmarsch der Wehrmacht in die Sowjetunion
(Hitler’s speech regarding the reasons why he invaded the Soviet Union [allegedly])
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03ZN0nVApkw
Who wants to believe his LIES (wrapped in a sweet sugar package) doesn’t belong into this forum.
Not as anonymous commentator and especially not as contributor.
But nothing against Baaz, maybe he posted it late during the night.
Also some links were dead links already, which also hints into that direction.
Hi Bazarov and Martin
let me make it clear to you that I m not “Anti-Semite” or Anti any religion .I just posted that link in the SITREP so as commentators can initiate a civil discussion .it’s OK with me whether people don’t like some things posted by me and I respect their view.but labelling me a fool ,misinformed is just too crude and that too for a link I had not part in “creating”.Well , brother Bazarov I shall withdraw posting SITREPs here if you come ahead and post your ” intellectual , wise and enlightening ” SITREPS for the blog. I shall be happy for the Blog and my fellow contributors and commentators .
Regards,
Baaz
Hi Baaz,
what about:
“Hitler wanted to free Russia from Soviet Bolshewisk occupation.
Let’s have a nice fair discussion.”
See the point?
I know that the truth about certain things concerning Hitler vs. the jews vs. the camps is not identical with the public history writings.
Too hot to touch that potato.
Fact is: He inavded the Soviet Union backstabbing her.
(while claiming it was self-defence)
He is such a brilliant stoory-teller and liar.
It would be interesting for a theater.
Hadn’t it costed some 50 Million people their lives.
I hope you understand.
If you wanted to invite users to discuss things like the Leuchte-Report, then rather than simply posting a link without further comment you should have written a long introduction first, carefully approaching the topic and purpose of your thread (sandbox discussion).
He invaded Rossiya!!!
He murdered so many 100’s of thousand communists and social democrats, jews, whatever.
He deserves more than just a quick death.
Hitler shall burn in the hell-fire forever, feeing every bit of pain.
Regards,
%martin
Thanks Martin
your point accepted. I concur with what u have to say about Hitler.
But I am still looking fwd to Bazarov’s SITREPs :-)
cheers mate ,
Baaz
No worries, Baaz.
I always had a very positive memory of your SitReps.
It is in fact clear to me, that Germany was treated by the “Z-allies” very badly after WW1 (like Russia today – only that Russia doesn’t let that happen [anymore at least]!)
On the other hand Germany (with following Z instructions) did the same to Russia in Brest-Litowsk, so it was no dime better.
Germany set the ground to split the Baltics and Ukraine off Russia.
I will _never_ forgive this the Germans.
I’m talking about both WW1 and WW2!
The rise of Hitler is no mystery after Versailles.
In fact it must have been wanted by the Z. as continuation of WW1 to finally get Germany _and_ Soviet-Russia destroyed once and for all times.
And he got supported by the West and built up (with the goal that he would destroy and partition the Soviet Union). Then the West would jump in and take everything over.
Something like this was the plan, even after 1945 when Churchill wanted to nuke Moscow and Leningrad and wanted to revive the Wehrmacht in order to fight jointly against the Red army.
If you ask me, Hitler was a pro Zionist agent. My only question is, did he know it and willingly followed orders, or if he really told the truth.
We could talk hours and hours and hours about Versailles.
My entire (very poor) family had to migrate twice: 1919 and then 1945 (from then on Poland).
My grand-grand-ma even spoke Russian (lived near Lwow, but on the side which is now Poland).
The cities in Germany got completely wiped out by the ZangloZAmerican bombers: It all was directed against the civilians, women, children. The military installations were mostly spared out (like ISIS targets in Syria). Not a single thing has changed since then.
But Hitler was a Frankenstein.
He lies so well with a voice of comradery and honey, in the next minute he kills I don’t know how many of his former best friends.
We will never know who he really worked for.
But it’s less relevant, because to me is clear: Mass-murderer, working for the ZCapitalists, while pretending to fight them. Having said that: Churchill and (after FDR died) Truman were no piece of sh* better (see Churchill’s plans as mentioned above and see Hiroshima and Nagasaki, with the later plans to vaporize East-Berlin, Leningrad and Moscow).
It turns out that Towarish Stalin was the only good one of all of them.
But that would certainly cause a huge firestorm going beyond the scope of my time during the next hours.
As for the Lusitania and WW1: How the Zionists brought the USA into WW1 and WW2 and more… Honorable Jewish Man Speaks the Truth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPlLl5WAqJg
Yes, it is a never ending highly interesting topic.
But it is as burning-hot as it is interesting.
And while we can find and match a few puzzle pieces from time to time, it is never ever possible to be sure of certain (too hot) aspects.
Only really clear thing is: Hitler died too softly, that pathetic coward.
cheers towarish,

Bad rumor poking out past few days about Libya.
Seems the Frenchies’ real plan all along, almost certainly agreed to by Putin, is to re-invade Libya.
That explains how/why zero news from them on any action inside Syria. Absolutely nothing.

US-Led West Preparing to Attack ISIL in Libya
TEHRAN (FNA)- Informed sources disclosed that the US and other western countries have sent special spying and intelligence units to Africa in preparation for an imminent attack on ISIL in Libya.
The French and the US governments have informed the Algerian government of the western countries’ targeted airstrikes on ISIL camps and positions in Libya, the Arabic-language Al-Khabar newspaper quoted an informed source as saying.
he report said the US and French presidents have decided to carry out coordinated and targeted attacks on the ISIL in Libya after the terrorist attacks in Paris in November.
New reports indicate that UK Special Air Service (SAS) troops have already arrived in Libya, laying the groundwork for a large allied troop intervention. The force will include 1,000 British infantrymen, and will involve around 6,000 American and European soldiers and marines – led by Italian forces and supported mainly by Britain and France.
Please,
Remove point:
“6. [Source] Hilarious Christmas greeting to Putin by Bosnian Serbs”
It has nothing to do with Serbian tradition and Serbian culture. I am really ashamed that you presented those idiots as “hilarious Christmas greetings”.
The fact IS that the Bosnian Serbs not just support Russia and Putin but love them.
But to show those not worthy, drunk idiots as represents of all Bosnian Serbs – really is an insault not just for the Bosnian Serbs but even for intelligence.
Those drunken idiots are exactly the same sort of people as this woman which assaulted Saker and tried to destroy this site and community with stupid, primitive and fascistic insinuations.
If you really could not find any more worthy support from Republika Srpska, than please – do not link any!
Thanks
@dissappointed
i second your notion.
if the video featured disorderly and drunken “bosnian serbs” are indeed serbs and russian friends, then why russia needs enemies? in this case russia would do well to zap friends to begin with and most certailnly not grant them any media exposure, to say the least.
characters featured in the vid are common hooligans and nothing to do with serbs. they a disgrace to humanity.
@ Dissapointed Bosnian Serb and @lb: Come on, I find many of my so called fellow “academics” here in so called “Germany” (Z-US-colony of) a million times more pathetic.
It is nothing wrong with having some vodka in the nature.
As long as there is no aggression involved, what’s the problem?
I crossed Republika Srbska at least once per year since 2007 and I can say – what’s bad with this video? It’s bad enough that I myself am so earnest and sad, those have at least some fun.
You have wrong fears and anxieties of getting misrepresented. Ok, I understand that.
But it is as if my very becautiful ukrainian former girls would look in the mirror and apologize for some hypothetical skin problems or whatever that I (nor anybody else) would actually notice.
your “pathetic” academics are probably not fring hand guns while having fun
Ok, that’s the only truly valid point.
But instead they are cheering the arrivial of 1 Million muslims per year (you can calculate yourself how many hand guns (and the larger machine gun moels!) come to the EU that way, if only 0.5% of them happen to be ISIS sleepers (unlikely that the number is that low)
