The US Coalition has Launched their Final Military Plans for Syria


By: Stewart Brennan

Erdogan and the US Coalition have made their Move in Syria.

On October 20, 2016, Turkey’s Military, on the orders of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, bombed 18 positions of the People's Protection Units (YPG) in northern Syria, killing up to 200 Syrian Kurdish defenders.

Then on Saturday October 23rd, Turkey’s military confirmed once again that its forces attacked Kurdish fighters in northern Syria a second time in less than 72 hours. The strikes hit 70 positions of the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) in northern Syria on Friday.

The attack by Turkey on Syrian territory proves once again that Turkey’s insane dictator Recep Tayyip Erdogan is ruthless when it comes to breaking International Law and committing War Crimes against neighbouring states, all with the blessing, mind you, of the US Government and its Coalition members.

In response, the Syrian military replied to Turkey’s criminal actions saying, “Any attempt to once again breach Syrian airspace by Turkish war planes will be dealt with and they will be brought down by all means available."

In my view, the latest military attacks in Syria by Turkey shows that the US Coalition, has now launched its final drive to topple the Syrian Government, confirming what I stated in my previous opinion piece, that the US will continue to use its coalition members to bring down the Syrian Government.

In fact, it is now very obvious that the US coalition is moving forward with the plan they announced publicly on December 09th, 2015 when US Pentagon Chief Ashton Carter insisted that their gulf state allies join the US war coalition to remove the Syrian Government of Bashar al-Assad under the auspices of fighting ISIS / ISIL / Daish in Iraq and Syria. Ashton Carters statement was not a request when he called for US allies to assemble a joint military force in Iraq, but a proclamation of their criminal intent.

Turkey invaded Iraq a few days before Ashton Carter’s statement, confirming that the US plan was already being followed by Turkey.

However, it takes a long time to assemble coalition forces, and when delays such as internal opposition to Turkey’s involvement in aggressive war and occupation puts the brakes on moving forward, other plans are made to remove those obstacles which is why we were witness to Erdogan staging a false coup in July 2016. Once Erdogan had seized control of Turkey in his coup on power, he removed all opposition to him from the Turkish Military, Government, Media, and public.

Of course Russia was also a hurdle Erdogan needed to overcome especially after relations went sour when Turkey shot down a Russian fighter jet over Syria in November 2015…if any US coalition invasion plan was going to work, they needed to deceive Russia and not directly confront them. Therefore begrudgingly, Erdogan made an apology to Russia in June 2016 before the coup. Shortly after the false coup in July 2016, Erdogan played his part to convince Russia that everything was never better between the two nations. Once Erdogan made a few deceptive pledges to gain Russia’s trust, Erdogan invaded Syria in August 2016.

Turkey’s Invasion & Occupation of Syria

So far, there has been very little resistance put up by the terrorists wherever Turkey is involved, be it in Syria or Iraq where the Turkish Military has created staging areas from which to launch attacks.

A fake Free Syrian Army has suddenly materialized under the wing of Turkey’s military invasion of Syria, at the same time that the multi named US backed terrorist groups (ISIS / ISIL / Daish / Al-Nusra, etc) have coincidently faded away. Why is it that Turkey has not met any real resistance from the terrorists during their invasion and occupation from Jarabulus to Manbij to Al-Bab (The road to Eastern Aleppo)…while a newly materialized and bogus Free Syrian Army appears out of nowhere in greater numbers. Where does this Free Syrian Army get their uniforms, weapons and money? Well we already know the answer to those questions…

Syrian Map


US Coalition Plans

I believe the goal of the US military plan in Syria is to gather a very large terrorist force under the protection of the Turkish Army who will lead a war against the Syrian Kurds north of Aleppo. The terrorists will then gather under Turkey’s tanks and aircraft to push through Syrian Kurdish strongholds and then link up with additional terrorist forces north and west of Aleppo. Supply lines will then have been re-established, and from there the final assault by the US coalition on Aleppo will begin where they will confront the Syrian, Russian and Iranian coalition directly. A decision will then have to be made by the Russian Government weather or not to shoot down Turkey’s military and or to destroy Turkish tanks and the forces they have assembled in Syria.

Looking at the overall actions and rhetorical positions of Turkey and the US government, they paint a clear picture that they will not give up their agenda of removing the Syrian Government in fact they are insanely possessed by doing so...

Turkey’s attack on the Syrian Kurds north of Aleppo can either be viewed as desperate or deliberate but since Turkey and the US are both intent on removing the Syrian Government of Bashar al-Assad, the attack on the Kurdish strongholds North of Aleppo looks more like an attempt by the US coalition to smash through the siege and retake Aleppo with sights on bringing down the Syrian Government.

If there was any real connection between the US & the Syrian Kurds, as the US government lets on, then we would have seen the US hold Turkey's feet to the fire by taking action against Turkey to stop their never ending attacks on Kurdish towns. So as always, actions speak louder than empty words...or in this case non actions speak louder than words.

The fact that Turkey is a NATO member might dissuade Russia from taking military action against their so-called new-found Turkish friend Erdogan…maybe, and then again, maybe not. We are certainly going to see very soon however.

We know for a fact that the US Government will not change its position and will not accept defeat in Syria regardless of the situation on the ground. The US and its Coalition members seem panicked yet overconfident at the same time regardless of their failures. They continue to plan covert operations regardless of how impossible their position. That indicates a degree of insanity and a drive to bring the entire world into conflict.

US actions throughout the past year have been very telling in that they have adopted the position of lies, collective destruction and mass murder while forcing their vassal states to do what they are told in order to get what the US wants, control of the Syrian Nation and the demonization of Russia.

The US Military attack on the Syrian Army in Deir az-Zor on September 17th, 2016 is an example of US belligerence and outright lying to the World when they said the attack was a mistake. The attack lasted for over 50 minutes! Clearly this is an example of how far the US will go to keep their plans within plans on track.

Is it a coincidence that Mosul, Iraq is not that far away from the American’s Deir az-Zor mistake? The timing of the US attack on the Syrian army, and the US promise of escorting 9000 terrorists from the Mosul region into Syria needs to be watched more closely.

Cease Fire Agreements?

The Syrian ceasefire agreements between the US and Russian Governments were never respected by the American backed terrorists as these agreements were really just a stalling tactic by the Americans in order to re-arm and replenish their terrorists groups, while also buying time for the larger US offensive that pulls all their Coalition partners together, in hopes that they will eventually link up with their terrorists friends in Eastern Aleppo. The US goal has always been the destruction of the Syrian Army, the partition of Syria, and the toppling of the Bashar al-Assad government and they will never change their position.

The US Pentagon is not flying by the seat of their pants when it comes to its operations in Syria and Iraq, nor is Turkey acting on its own as many seem to suggest. There is a larger plan in process here that connects everything in Iraq and Syria through the ISIS / ISIL terrorist groups and the US Coalition partners.

It explains Turkey’s invasion of Syria with US air support, and all the moves that the US has made since Russia helped the Syrian Government gain the upper hand in their battle against US backed terrorism.

Even now, the US Pentagon’s Ashton Carter lies about Turkey’s involvement in Iraq, by twisting reality and insisting that the Iraqi Government agreed to Turkey’s participation in the liberation of Mosul, when clearly the Iraqi government has condemned Turkey for their invasion and occupation of the Iraqi nation.

Video Source: Press TV

In fact the US attack on the Syrian Army in Deir ez-Zor becomes clearer when taking into account the liberation of Mosul Iraq where it is said that the US has offered safe passage for 9000 terrorists to cross into Syria…most likely towards Deir az-Zor and Ar Raqqah both US terrorist strongholds that could become staging points for a new terrorist invasion of Syria.

Not long ago, Russia exposed Turkey for being directly involved with the terrorists oil smuggling trade that made its way into Turkey…the very same Turkey that is occupying both Iraq near Mosul and Syria from Jarabulus to Al-Bab. The Road from Mosul Iraq leads to Syria and the Turkish Military is directly involved in both places…

Syrian Self Defence

In my view, Syria has every right to defend itself by shooting down “ANY” hostile foreign military warplanes or by attacking ANY foreign invading terrorist armies including Turkey’s.

Given the circumstances of how deceitful and belligerent the US and its terrorist coalition have proven to be, their word means nothing either way and so Syria must act and carry out their retaliation threats, even if shooting down hostile foreign aircraft means that Turkey and the US threaten to escalate their terrorist war by invoking “Article 5” of the NATO charter. A point that states, an attack against one NATO member is considered an attack against all NATO members…and therefore a “You fight me, you fight my gang” mentality brings all of NATO into the Syrian war zone. This is exactly what the US is driving at to bring Europe and its own armed forces into Syria.

Turkey is a NATO member, and will hide behind its US shield when the Syrian Army responds in kind to Turkey’s military aggression.

Syria’s survival is dependent on the defeat of ALL invading terrorist forces, including the invading Turks. So a confrontation will eventually happen with the Turkish Military if the Turkish occupation force does not leave Syrian lands.

What Turkey has done in Syria and Iraq is illegal and a war crime. The fact that they are occupying and attacking Syria, which included US military air support, proves that the US Government also does not uphold International Law or human rights…this should be obvious to everyone by now as the US has reverted to desperation by outright lies and mass murder to find its way back into Syria.

The US government’s position is totally bankrupt, immoral, a crime against humanity and mule stupid since their belligerent aggression will lead to World War III.

Who is going to stop the US government’s continued support of terrorism or stop them from launching their War plans in Syria, the US Mainstream Media? The American people? A new American President in November? I don’t think so…The outlook is pretty grim so it will be up to the Syrian, Russian and Iranian Coalition to stop Turkey and the US terrorist Coalition from gaining any sort of advantage.

The Syrian and Russian forces have no choice but to shoot down any aggressive Turkish aircraft over Syria, if for anything, to let Turkey know that if they continue attacking the Russian / Syrian coalition forces including the Kurds, then Turkish assaults will be regarded as an act of war…

Conclusion:

Turkey is leading a covert western push in Northern Syria that will eventually threaten the very core of Syria’s Northern City of Aleppo if they are not stopped now.

The current US backed operations in Iraq are intended to move their armed and trained terrorists from Mosul Iraq into Syria…the timing is very suspect which is why I believe that the US is using this opportunity to covertly deliver terrorist reinforcements into Turkey’s charge for their use in Northern Syria, where these ISIL terrorists will magically become the bogus Free Syrian Army. If Turkey and its forces smash through Kurdish held areas, they will then swing around and directly assault the Syrian Army in Aleppo. Therefore the time has come to confront Erdogan and Turkey’s occupation of Syria and Iraq…

Erdogan needs to be stopped and told to leave both Iraq and Syria with deadly force, regardless of his NATO standing…

Saudi Arabia’s Terminal Decline


By: Stewart Brennan

It’s been said many times that Saudi Arabia has 25% of the Worlds known oil reserves and that's a huge amount, because global economics depends heavily on oil energy to foster growth…but what happens when after 60 years of extraction the oil in Saudi Arabia goes into terminal decline? The answer is economic collapse

BREAKING NEWS!


The above headline should have raised the attention and anxiety levels of many people around the world...but this very significant statement seems to have passed by without much notice...but it should be a huge wake up call.

“OIL” is the sole natural resource that Saudi Arabia possesses, so their plan to sell off all their oil assets tells me that they have now passed a critical point in their oil production and have entered a serious phase of “Terminal Decline”…You can be sure that the oil left in the ground is not worth 2 Trillion dollars so I would caution and say “Buyer Beware!” but also caution that if Saudi Arabia has indeed gone past their peak, then the world is in for a very bumpy ride as indeed the Saudi’s have already dragged us through their insane extremist mindset in Syria, Yemen, Libya, and many other places across Asia, Africa and the Middle East to hide this fact…

The panic within the house of Saud is there for all to see and became evident in a 2013 open letter by Prince Alwaleed, the nephew of deceased king, Abdullah, where he revealed that “92% of the Saudi government budget relies on oil revenues”. He also expressed that "Revenue diversification is a must, and that it necessitates a clear vision that should be implemented immediately," He also called on Saudi authorities to prepare plans to generate nuclear energy and renewable energy to "reduce local consumption of oil as soon as possible". These startling concerns point to the Saudi’s being in an advanced state of “Terminal Decline” and that the action required by the Saudi regime was extremely urgent.


For a country that claims to be swimming in oil, the alarm here is quite clear, that there just isn’t going to be enough oil for the country to sustain its future needs. The timing of the announcement is also interesting as their total financial support of the ISIL terrorist army had not yet come into being, nor had they declared war on Yemen at that point...and oil was trading well over $100.00 per barrel.


Today, the oil revenue of Saudi Arabia does not even cover the Saudi government budget so we must look at all the reasons for why that is.

Saudi Arabia ramps up austerity to avoid budget deficit


Video Source: Press TV

Low Market Price for Oil

Much has been said about Saudi Arabia keeping their oil output high to drive global prices lower to keep shale oil competition out of the market…that would be true if the Saudi’s were in a strong financial position to launch such an economic war…but they clearly were not in good financial shape and they knew it…And since the Saudi’s needed money it would have been better for them to reduce their production and drive the market prices higher rather than keeping the price low through a higher production…It makes no logical sense that they would lower the price of oil when they knew it would cause them economic disaster…this is one area that panic could have influenced their actions…but they knew that losing this economic gamble would drive them to financial ruin…now they are in a position that they need to sell off all their oil assets…and they are indeed in a panic.

Also of special note, within Prince Alwaleed’s open letter is that he calls for the acquisition of nuclear energy as an alternative to oil…this statement should give everyone pause considering the sociopathic and sadistic actions this regime has employed against the people of the region through their outright sponsoring of terrorism and twisted belief in supremest ideology.


Another big give away that I believe furthers the argument of Saudi Arabia’s Terminal oil Decline was that in November 2013, the Saudi’s announced that they were going to deport hundreds of thousands of foreign workers who mostly worked in the oil industry, and its supporting community. They cited that it was to create jobs for their own people and yet the deportations were brutal and massive in scope. As most managerial people know, training unskilled workers to do the jobs that skilled and experienced workers held before them is a very costly and time consuming process…especially when a large segment of the skilled foreign worker pool is replaced…results don't happen overnight so things just don’t add up unless the thought of peak oil comes into the picture…

Saudi Arabia to deport thousands of Egyptian workers - (2013)


Source: Press TV

When a nation deports people on a massive scale such as this, they are preparing for an economic calamity and or an immanent war. This was a very drastic and paranoid move by the Saudi government in 2013…and as we look back, the war on Yemen and their own economic collapse had not happened yet. 

Corruption in the House

Going back to an article from 2003 titled “The Fall of theHouse of Saud” written by ex CIA officer “Robert Baer” in “The Atlantic”, the number of family members in the house of Saud, was between 10,000 to 12,000 and rising. He reports that they were emptying the royal treasury by their increasing demand for royal stipends while also boldly engaging in criminal activity.

Fraud certainly took its toll on the Saudi government budget, but I have no doubt, that some of those criminal schemes were put to an end by King Abdullah while he was building and funding his terrorist army and training schools in other nations.

Indeed, the Saudi’s support and funding of fanaticism, terrorism, and war throughout the Middle East, Africa, and Eurasia has taken a severe toll on Saudi money reserves, so much so that they have actually had toborrow billions of dollars to meet this years budget.

The Saudi’s were the largest exporter of oil to the world, with 25% of known global oil reserves. They made a lot of money over the past 45 years and it looks increasingly clear that many of the Saud family members have squandered their entire fortune on maintaining a lavish criminal lifestyle while also shouldering the cost of their violent ideology while warring on neighbouring countries…all while the general population of Saudi Arabia lives in a state of brutal abject poverty…

Documentary - Saudi Arabia Uncovered


Saudi Arabia is now trying to ward off national bankruptcy by implementing austerity measures. According to the IMF, the Saudi’s would need the selling price of oil to be around $106.00 per barrel just to avoid a budget deficit. But in 2013 according to the IMF, Saudi Arabia needed $89.00 per Barrel to balance its budget and in 2012 it needed $78.00 per barrel to balance its budget.

The Saudi argument in 2013 for their budget deficit was that the shale oil Industry in the USA was responsible for their decline in oil sales, but today the shale oil industry is in complete decay. The amount of cash required for a barrel of oil, to balance the Saudi budget, has risen exponentially year on year. Where more than 90% of the budget is dependent on the sale of oil…

Here’s the thing, once an oil pocket recedes past a certain point, water has to be pumped in to maintain the outflow…however, as the oil is extracted, more water has to be pumped in to maintain pressure and therefore more water has to be separated from the oil which in turn increases the cost of extracting it. The costs rise exponentially until the oil well is no longer productive. Once the increased cost of oil extraction passes the actual market price per barrel then it is no longer profitable…if your budget requires $106.00 per barrel and the price of oil is below that, then losses are going to occur. Today’s oil prices are hovering between $30.00 and $40.00 per barrel…. UMMMM, Houston, they have a problem…

If the Saudi’s need money, then ideally, all they have to do is cut production to drive the oil price up, but instead they will sell their oil assets? It doesn’t add up, unless they have gone into terminal decline and need to sell off their oil assets to secure some sort of future…

The global economy is contracting and therefore oil is not in as big a demand as it would be with a growing economy, and that really is the global situation today, economic contraction worldwide…but it doesn’t answer the question as to why the Saudi’s would sell off their ONLY resource and their only future, because oil powers economic growth, not just for the present, but for the future as well…there are many things the Saudi's could do to save money...one would be to stop buying weapons from all the western countries, and cut some of those royal stipends that seem to find their way into offshore accounts...

Maybe the Saudi’s should not invest themselves in criminal wars! After all, funding global terrorism and waging war on other countries like Syria and Yemen does drain a treasury dry now doesn’t it...just ask the Americans…add to that the internal fraud, lavish lifestyles and the funded projects of its twisted Ideology all over the World…but I digress…

I believe that Saudi oil is in severe terminal decline, and since the US dollar is deeply connected with Saudi Arabia who controls OPEC, the American’s might be trying to distance themselves from the Saudi’s as we are witnessing with the list of people just thrown under the bus by the planned leak of the “Panama Papers”. 

The leaked documents include the Saudi King along with some of his associates from Qatar, Jordan, and U.A.E. How wonderfully convenient if you are trying to distance yourself from a few used up dictators and their involvement of war crimes and crimes against humanity by having a leak…adding Petro (Petrol) Poroshenko means he is no longer useful as well…

Could they be preparing for an immanent stock market crash? After all, a sharp decline of 25% in global oil production will certainly have an effect on the global stock markets. Anyone who is in debt will want to be sure that they are liquid when it happens, but don’t stash your cash in Panama…because one might find themselves shaken down in the upcoming lawsuits that will help the US recover some of their 19 Trillion dollar deficit before they go down in flames…

Then again, maybe the US is desperate to find a way back into the Middle East and offered Putin a bribe or a blackmail threat when John Kerry showed Vladimir Putin what was in his briefcase…judging by all the smirks, the Russians already knew what John Kerry was up to…


Video Source: Russia Today

If the Saudi’s are in terminal decline, and I believe they are, then the US Oligarch’s will do anything to retain their power and that means they need a way back into the Middle East but at the moment, they have no choice but to deal with Russia or continue in the same direction that the Saudi Regime is headed…bankruptcy…after all, oil is what powers an economy and the US must import a great deal of oil to power its military and keep their economy afloat…the energy future belongs to Russia…

UK Parliament Votes to break International Law by Bombing Syria


Scroll Down for Important World News in Video Format including LIVE News Feed to RT


Source: PressTV

British Prime Minister David Cameron says a one-day debate will be held in parliament on Wednesday on whether his country will commence airstrikes against Daesh in Syria.

"I can announce that I will be recommending to cabinet tomorrow that we hold a debate and a vote in the House of Commons to extend the airstrikes," he said, referring to Britain's current air campaign as part of a US-led coalition against purported Daesh positions in Iraq.

"I believe there's growing support across parliament for the compelling case there is to answer the call from our allies, to act against Daesh in Syria and in Iraq," he said in a televised statement on Monday.

Cameron also denied a request made earlier by UK Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn to hold a full two-day debate on the subject.

“As has happened previously a one-day debate would inevitably lead to important contributions being curtailed. It is incumbent on us all to ensure the country feels there has been the fullest parliamentary discussion of what you have rightly described as a highly complex situation,” Corbyn wrote in a letter to Cameron.

Meanwhile, Corbyn told members of parliament that they are free to vote on the subject of bombing Syria – a move that strays from a tradition in which British party leaders dictated what members should vote during major debates.

Since August 2014, the United States and some of its allies have been conducting airstrikes against what they say are Daesh positions in Iraq. Since last September, some members of the US-led coalition have also been pounding purported Daesh positions inside Syria without any authorization from Damascus or a UN mandate.

However, the airstrikes have not dislodged the Daesh terrorists and have reportedly caused huge collateral damage and civilian deaths.

The Labour Party has confirmed that it will offer its MPs a free vote on the Tory government’s proposal for UK airstrikes against ISIL terrorists in Syria.

The controversial decision to extend military operations against ISIL from Iraq to Syria came at a shadow cabinet meeting. The party's leader Jeremy Corbyn and most of its members are opposed to bombing. They believe airstrikes in Syria could deteriorate the situation and increase support for ISIL.

However, some Labour lawmakers want to back Prime Minister David Cameron's call for more bombing. Corbyn has requested a two-day debate on the issue in the House of Commons.

In his letter to Cameron, Corbyn has asked for more details of the planned airstrikes.

“As of this morning, we have not had a clear proposal from the government on when you plan to bring forward a motion to the house on airstrikes in Syria or on arrangements for the debate…In the view of the opposition on a matter of such critical importance there must be full and adequate time for any debate in the house and only a full two-day debate would ensure time for all members who wish to participate to be able to do so,” Corbyn wrote to Cameron

The decision is seen as a last-ditch effort by Corbyn aimed at averting the threat of a mass shadow cabinet walkout.

The Labour Party has already announced that the official party line will be a "strong anti-bombing" position, which is backed by the membership.

The vote comes after a hot debate in the House of Commons on how Britain should respond to an alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria. During the debate, Prime Minister David Cameron urged the M-Ps to approve military action against the Syrian government. Cameron made the call despite his admission that there was no definitive evidence Damascus had carried out chemical weapons attacks against the Syrian people. The opposition, however, rejected Cameron's proposal and stated that Britain should wait for the U-N team of chemical weapons inspectors to finish their investigation in Syria.

US caught planning terror attacks in Ukraine


 
This map, which was attached to a terror plan email, shows where the plane wreckage of a terror attack is to be found

Article By: Gordon Duff

Source: Press TV
http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2014/03/14/354594/us-planning-terror-attacks-in-ukraine/

In a series of hacked emails received from “Anonymous Ukraine” it is clear that Pentagon officials working in concert with extremist elements in the Ukraine have carried out and are planning more attacks in Ukraine.

What is also clear is that these attacks are to be blamed on Russia including blowing up planes at an airport. Other attacks may well include mass civilian casualties.

The long series of emails include several that are frighteningly incriminating. This is first of the “worst,” three “smoking gun” false flag planning documents:

Ihor,
Events are moving rapidly in Crimea. Our friends in Washington expect more decisive actions from your network.
I think it's time to implement the plan we discussed lately. Your job is to cause some problems to the transport hubs in the south-east in order to frame-up the neighbor.
It will create favorable conditions for Pentagon and the Company to act.
Do not waste time, my friend.
Respectfully,

U.S. Embassy, Kyiv
Tankova 4, Kyiv, Ukraine 04112

“Framing up the neighbor” as Lt. Col. Gresh states so inelegantly defines false flag terrorism. Other documents including a White Paper done by the International Centre for Policy Studies in Kiev dated March 4, 2014 warns of Russian “conspiracy theories.”

The Centre’s White Paper provides what intelligence experts call “deception and cover” for terror attacks planned, as we learn, by the US Army working with Ukrainian military officials and terrorist groups.

The email below, copied to COL Igor PROTSYK, Chief, Bilateral Military Cooperation Division, Main Directorate for Military Cooperation and PKO, General Staff, Armed Forces of Ukraine, not only outlines a terror attack to be blamed on Russian Special Forces, it actually includes a map of where the wreckage is to be found:

Oleg, an urgent need poshumity (sic) on behalf of Russians at the airport in Melitopol. This should be done by March 15 . Sam understands why.
First of all you must contact Pasha Tarasenko. You must know him , he is a local Liberty and has a theme.
Before you arrive 10-12 boys from the Centre. Top fighters Trident. Chief Mike there, you should know it too . Details will know him. We need people to meet and provide everything you need.
Proceed with caution. Speak only Russian. 25 team is executing combat missions, so do not do them much damage to aircraft . There is a lot of scrap metal, with it you can do anything. Damaged aircraft you specify. It is essential that all was as real attack neighbor's Special Forces. But without corpses.
Give me again your account. The money will come in time, do not worry.
See the appendix . This is an example of action. Decisions are made in person.

Will publication of this hacked email actually stop the upcoming attack on Melitopol? When they specify that corpses aren’t needed, does this mean that they are planning on getting them elsewhere?

When they say “the money will come in time,” are they aware of sequestration and how the US has been paying its bills less quickly than before?

We quickly found Pasha Tarasenko through his “My Space” account. Prominently featured is a photograph in a Ukrainian Army officers dress uniform.

In this final email about the upcoming terror attack on Melitopol airport, Colonel Protsyk takes clear control of the operation:

Basil , you must quickly carry out proactive in Melitopol. There's 25 aviation brigade . Must zamaraty our sworn friends and good neighbors. I think you understand me.
Just proceed carefully and cautiously. 25 brigade combat mission out , so do not do them much damage to aircraft . There is already damaged aircraft , that He can do everything. Yihny board numbers you give. Remember , you need everything to be as real attack of the Russian Special Forces.
Brigade commander there is a reasonable man . Details of know he will not, but in extreme cases it can turn to. We did come.

It began with terrorist snipers hired by the “new” Ukrainian government, killing their own supporters. The US involvement was long proven through the infamous Victoria Nuland phone conversation, America “anointing” their chosen terrorists to stage a confrontation with Russia.

The second call, between the Estonian Foreign Minister, Urmas Paet and EU Foreign Minister Catherine Ahston gave us that “smoking gun,” that the current cabal in Kiev are terrorists and criminals.

We now have Americans hiring terrorists, planning attacks, working with the Ukrainian Army and Neo-Nazi groups to blow up planes, attack airports and clearly do so in order to blame Russia and inflame the world to the point of war.

Many of the other documents show planning and logistic support through Bulgaria with PowerPoints in English. Mixed in with the documents are a selection of NATO unclassified news reports.

What can be safely assumed? The US government, certainly the State Department and US Army are involved. NATO involvement is a given.

The current rulers in Kiev are proven to be the criminal element predicted by Catherine Ashton of the EU and so many others.

What we do have is a clear smoking gun, not just names but personal email addresses, mobile phone numbers and language that can never be mistaken.

Gladio based false flag terrorism is alive and well, there can be no question.

A response to the use of chemical weapons in Syria is possible without the unanimous consent of the UN Security Council, UK Foreign Secretary William Hague has said.

“I would argue yes it is, otherwise it might be impossible to respond to such outrages, such crimes, and I don't think that's an acceptable situation," Hague said on BBC radio, when asked whether it would be possible to respond to the use of chemical weapons without the backing of the UN Security Council.

Meanwhile, Britain’s Royal Navy is reportedly moving ships into place for a possible strike with the US on Syria in the next few days.

Citing government sources, British daily The Telegraph wrote that as military commanders were discussing a list of potential targets, the Royal Navy is deploying vessels for a series of cruise missile strikes on Syria.

Since last week’s chemical weapons attack on a Damascus suburb that left over 300 civilians dead, political rhetoric has been building against President Bashar Assad, alleging the regime carried out the attack against its own citizens. On Sunday, Britain added its voice to the chorus of countries urging for intervention in Syria.

Foreign Secretary William Hague condemned the Assad regime, stating that “all the evidence points in one direction.”

"We cannot, in the 21st century, allow the idea that chemical weapons can be used with impunity, that people can be killed in this way, and there are no consequences for it,"
he said.

Branding Assad a dictator, Hague stressed a “strong response” was essential in light of the use of chemical weapons to “slaughter” Syrian citizens.

Syrian President Bashar Assadresponded to the calls for an international reaction to the chemical attack, warning that any international intervention in Syria would end in failure.

"The comments [accusing the regime of using chemical weapons] made by politicians in the West and other countries are an insult to common sense... It is nonsense,"
Assad said, adding the accusations were completely “political.”

Russia also urged caution, calling on Washington to avoid “repeating past mistakes.”

“All of this makes one recall the events that happened 10 years ago, when, using false information about Iraqis having weapons of mass destruction, the US bypassed the United Nations and started a scheme whose consequences are well known to everyone,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Moscow has also said a UN investigation into last Wednesday’s attack is of paramount importance and it was essential that its results were not influenced before time.

A team of UN experts arrived at the site of the attack on Monday in the Damascus suburb of Ghouta, however doubts have already been raised over the validity of an investigation.

Washington has already alleged that an investigation would be “too late to be credible.” The British government echoed the US, stating that valuable evidence could have been destroyed in subsequent bombing of the area or tampered with.

"The fact is that much of the evidence could have been destroyed by that artillery bombardment. Other evidence could have degraded over the last few days and other evidence could have been tampered with," Hague told reporters on Saturday.

The toxic gas attack in Ghouta triggered a wave of media hysteria with mixed reports alleging that thousands had been killed. On Saturday, French charity Medcins sans Frontieres (Doctors without Borders) said that 355 people had died and over a thousand were exhibiting systems related to neurotoxic poisoning. However, the non-profit organization said it was impossible to discern who was behind the attack

Saudi spy chief hails UK role in persistent Syrian civil war

Saudi intelligence chief Prince Bandar Bin Sultan has in a secret meeting briefed Britain’s MI6 chief Sir Robert Sawers on Riyadh’s role in stoking the Syrian civil war and thanked London for its strategic cooperation to that end.

"At the meeting, the Saudi intelligence chief briefed Sawers on Riyadh's latest moves on Syria, including the supply of over 400 tons of weapons to the militants in Syria via Turkey," Fars News Agency quoted unnamed sources as saying.

“We have made the Syrian army engage in a civil war and of course this strategic mission could not be accomplished without your (MI6) cooperation,” the source quoted Prince Bandar as saying during the meeting.

According to the report, the Saudi National Security Council Secretary and Intelligence Chief also reiterated that his country is sending the Salafi and other extremist fighters to Syria to get them killed and trigger religious discord among different Muslims groups in the region.

"The Prince also reminded the different advantages of the Saudi plan in Syria, saying that extremist groups, including the Salafis, have been engaged in the war in Syria and killed in there, while the Lebanese Hezbollah movement has also been pushed into direct confrontation with radical Sunni Muslims," the source said.

Prince Bandar also reportedly ensured Sawers of control over the extremist mercenaries in Syria so that they do not turn up against Saudi Arabia and its western allies.

Lebanon’s Assafir newspaper reported back in June that Prince Bandar has been an intermediary between the western governments and the Syrian militants to deliver heavy weapons to the terrorists.

US cannot afford to wait for UN to attack Syria: Officials

 
 
US President Barack Obama meets with his national security team

Rep. Eliot Engel (NY), the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, has said “this is time for us” to launch cruise missile strikes on Syria, and that the US government cannot afford to wait for the United Nations.

“The world is a better place when the United States takes leadership; this is time for us to do this. I hope we’ll do it soon,” the American lawmaker said on Fox News Sunday.

A growing number of Republicans and Democrats in Congress are urging President Barack Obama to approve military action against Syria following reports of a deadly chemical attack in the suburbs of Damascus last week.

Engel said that the United States had to respond quickly and could not afford to wait for the United Nations.

“We could even destroy the Syrian Air Force if we wanted to… We have to move and we have to move quickly.”

Other senior US officials have also indicated that instead of seeking a UN approval for military action, Washington could work with its partners such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) or the Arab League.

"We'll consult with the UN. They're an important avenue. But they're not the only avenue," a senior administration official said.

The Syrian government has allowed UN inspectors to visit a site that allegedly came under chemical attack on Wednesday. Obama administration officials, however, have dismissed as too late the Syrian offer.

Although there is still no evidence to blame the chemical attack on the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a senior administration official said there was “very little doubt” that Damascus was behind the attack.

“Based on the reported number of victims, reported symptoms of those who were killed or injured, witness accounts and other facts gathered by open sources, the US intelligence community, and international partners, there is very little doubt at this point that a chemical weapon was used by the Syrian regime against civilians in this incident,” the unnamed official said in a written statement on Sunday, as reported by the New York Times.

The Syrian government and the army categorically denied any role in Wednesday’s chemical attack which killed hundreds of people. Russia, a key ally of Syria, insists that the attack was "clearly provocative in nature," and that it was staged by foreign-backed militant groups to incriminate the Assad government.

In recent days, the Pentagon has moved more warships into place in the eastern Mediterranean Sea and American war planners have updated strike targets that include government and military installations inside Syria, officials said.

President Obama met with his national security advisers at the White House over the weekend to discuss “a range of options” for Syria, but officials said late Sunday that the president had yet to decide how to proceed.

Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel reiterated Sunday that the Pentagon has prepared “options for all contingencies” and is ready to use force if the president gives the green-light.

Meanwhile, the US top military leader is in Jordan to discuss possible strikes on neighboring Syria.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey was set to meet with his Jordanian counterpart and other regional defense chiefs during his visit.

"The exchange is designed to increase the collective understanding of the impact of regional conflicts on nations, foster ongoing dialogue and improve security relationships," Defense Department spokeswoman Lt. Col. Cathy Wilkinson said.

President Obama said last year that the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian government was “a red line” that would provoke a military response
 
 


Russia warns US of extremely dangerous fallout of strike on Syria

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has warned the United States against the ‘extremely dangerous consequences’ of military action against Syria.

Lavrov made the remarks during a telephone conversation with US Secretary of State John Kerry on Sunday.

“Sergei Lavrov drew attention to the extremely dangerous consequences of a possible new military intervention for the whole Middle East and North Africa region,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

It added that Moscow was “deeply alarmed” by Washington’s statement about its readiness to intervene in Syria.

Foreign Minister Lavrov urged restraint during the conversation with John Kerry, the statement said.

US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said on August 23 that the Pentagon was positioning military forces as part of “contingency options” provided to US President Barack Obama regarding Syria.

France and the Israeli regime have also called for military action against the government of President Bashar al-Assad.

Hagel’s comments have been interpreted as a tacit suggestion that the US may be preparing for a military strike on Syria. The US defense secretary repeated similar remarks on Sunday during a visit to Malaysia.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said in a recent interview with the Russian newspaper Izvestia that any military intervention by the US would end in “failure.”

The United Nations says over 100,000 people have been killed and a total of 7.8 million of others displaced due to the turmoil that has gripped Syria since March 2011.

Pentagon considering strikes on Syria Officials

 
Update: 2013 August 24
 


Source: Press TV

In response to recent allegations of chemical attacks in Syria, the Pentagon has begun refining its military options for possible strikes in the Middle Eastern country, US officials said.

Officers at the Pentagon said they were updating target lists for potential airstrikes on a number of government and military installations in Syria, should President Barack Obama give the green-light to a military assault, officials said Thursday, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The military options being revised at the Pentagon range from possible strikes on Syrian military "delivery capabilities and systems" to command-and-control facilities and artillery batteries, officials said.

US officials, however, said the purpose of the military options would not be "regime change" but to "punish" President Bashar al-Assad if there was conclusive evidence that his government was behind the alleged chemical attacks.

Syria's foreign-backed opposition claimed on Wednesday that around 1,300 people were killed in a government chemical attack on militant strongholds in the Damascus suburbs of Ain Tarma, Zamalka and Jobar.

Washington has said that it does not have all the facts to determine the veracity of that claim.

US State Department spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki said on Thursday that President Obama had directed the US intelligence community to gather information about the alleged use of chemical weapons in Syria.

"At this time, right now, we are unable to conclusively determine CW (chemical weapons) use," Psaki said. "We are doing everything possible in our power to nail down the facts."

Other administration officials used a stronger language when talking to the media about the incident.

"There are strong indications there was a chemical weapons attack-clearly by the government," an unnamed senior administration official was quoted as saying by the Wall Street Journal. "But we do need to do our due diligence and get all the facts and determine what steps need to be taken."

The Syrian government and the army categorically denied any role in the alleged chemical attack.

In March, dozens of people were killed in a chemical attack in the northern province of Aleppo. A Russian-led inquiry said militants were behind the deadly attack.

Russia slams “Unacceptable” calls to use force in Syria

Source: Press TV
Russia has slammed as “unacceptable” calls by some European countries for use of force against the Syrian government, following claims that it had used chemical weapons in a recent deadly attack.

In a statement released on Friday by the country’s Foreign Ministry, it said Moscow is against further propaganda targeting the Syrian regime.
"Against the background of another anti-Syrian wave of propaganda, we believe calls from some European countries to apply pressure on the UN Security Council and already now take a decision on the use of force are unacceptable," Russian Foreign Ministry said in the statement.

In addition, Russian Foreign Ministry said evidence was mounting that the attack was "clearly provocative in nature" and that footage posted online claiming to incriminate the Syrian regime had been posted before the chemical attack took place. It also accused the insurgents of "directly impeding an objective investigation" of the incident.

There were also calls by the Ministry earlier on Friday for Takfiri militants operating in Syria to “ensure safe access” for the UN investigation team to the area where chemical weapons were allegedly used.

The head of the so-called Syrian National Coalition, George Sabra, claimed on August 21 that 1,300 people were killed in a government chemical attack on militant strongholds in Damascus suburbs of Ain Tarma, Zamalka and Jobar.

However, the Syrian government vehemently dismissed the baseless claims, saying the new accusations were fabricated to distract the visiting team of the UN chemical weapons experts and to cover up militants’ losses.

Meanwhile, the UN children’s agency, UNICEF, reported on the same day that one million Syrian children now live as refugees abroad and another two million are displaced within the country as a result of the ongoing fighting.

According to the UN, more than 100,000 people have been killed and millions of others displaced in Syria since March 2011.

US positioning forces for possible military action on Syria - Hagel

 
 
 
Source: Press TV
Pentagon chief Chuck Hagel says the United States was positioning naval forces and assets in case President Barack Obama decides to order a military strike against Syria.

"The Defense Department has responsibility to provide the president with options for all contingencies," Hagel told reporters aboard his plane en route to Malaysia on Friday.
"And that requires positioning our forces, positioning our assets, to be able to carry out different options - whatever options the president might choose," he was quoted as saying by Reuters.

His remarks come after some American defense officials said earlier on Friday that Washington was considering military options against Syria over the allegations of the chemical weapons use by the Syrian government.

An unnamed defense official said the USS Mahan is set to stay in the region after it had finished its deployment and was due to head back to its home base in Norfolk, Virginia.

When asked if it was fair to report that the US had moved assets, Hagel said, "I don't think I said that. I said that we're always having to prepare - as we give the president options - prepare our assets and where they are and the capability of those assets to carry out the contingencies we give the president."

On Wednesday, Syria's foreign-backed opposition claimed that around 1,300 people were killed in a government chemical attack on militant strongholds. The Syrian government denied the allegations.

A team sent by the United Nations is set to investigate the latest claim of chemical weapons use outside Damascus.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Thursday asked Syria to allow UN inspectors to investigate "without delay" the alleged chemical attack.

Meanwhile, President Barack Obama said the United States cannot attack Syria without a UN mandate for the allegations.

"If the US goes in and attacks another country without a UN mandate and without clear evidence that can be presented, then there are questions in terms of whether international law supports it. Do we have the coalition to make it work? And, you know, those are considerations that we have to take into account," he said in an interview with CNN on Friday.
