As Colin Powell's chief of staff, I saw how intel gleaned from 'enhanced interrogation' was used to make the case for the 2003 invasion. If the public had the full report on torture that Republican Senator Richard Burr has ordered into oblivion, they would know how to respond to President Trump’s nomination of Gina Haspel to be director of the CIA. The report reveals in excruciating detail, first, that torture was used by the United States, and, second, that such criminal acts did not produce good intelligence. In fact, when acted upon, that information created immeasurable tragedy. I know because the primary case corroborating this truth was one I was central in ...

Facebook Accused of ‘Suggesting’ Terrorists Add Each Other as Friends By Jack Davis May 7, 2018 at 8:28am Facebook is helping Islamic terrorists connect with one another, according to two British researchers who have studied the social media giant. “This project has laid bare Facebook’s inability or unwillingness to efficiently address extremist content on their site,” said Gregory Waters of the Counter Extremism Project, one of the authors of the study, according to a report in the Telegraph. “The failure to effectively police its platform has allowed Facebook to become a place where extensive (Islamic State) supporting networks exist, propaganda is ...

Saker... The day before yesterday, the world media have published the new of the meeting in Sweden of the Western European UN representatives regarding implementation of the UN general Assembly resolution 377 “Uniting for Peace”. The meeting made clear the strategy of the West to exclude Russia from discussions of all critical political and military issues anywhere in the world. Judging by the experience of the mid-20th century when our so-called “partners” easily unleashed the bloody Korean was of 1950-1953 getting around the Soviet veto in the UN Security Council, this resolution in likely to succeed in achieving its objectives. Let us reviews the situation ...
Mattis Says US Troops Will Remain in Syria, Afghanistan for Long Haul

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Monday that U.S. troops are in Syria and Afghanistan for the long haul to leverage a diplomatic solution to the ongoing conflicts in both countries. At an off-camera session with Pentagon reporters, Mattis strongly suggested that President Donald Trump had put aside his initial impulse for quick withdrawals and would maintain an indefinite presence of U.S. ground troops in Syria and Afghanistan. In Syria, "We do not want to simply pull out before the diplomats have won the peace," Mattis said. "You win the fight, and then you win the peace.” Mattis did not minimize the difficulties of negotiating peace among numerous warring ...
Syria: Russia is teaching Israel, “the naughty boy”, a lesson and Iran is watching

Despite the seven meetings between President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and many more encounters between Russian and Israeli officials, Tel Aviv hasn’t understood it can’t play freely in Syria without being punished. Russia has decided to teach the Israeli “naughty boy” a lesson by updating the Syrian defensive capabilities and delivering an updated defensive anti-air missiles system. Moreover, the Israeli lack of understanding of the shift of balance in the Middle East and the end of unipolar dominance of the world is taking it to another direct confrontation with Iran, again due to the Syrian conflict. Iran claims it is prepared to respond ...

PressTV... A court in Iraq has handed down life sentences to nearly two dozen Russian women over illegal entry, membership in Daesh Takfiri terrorist group, and involvement in acts of terror across the war-ravaged Arab country. A judicial source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the Central Criminal Court of Iraq, which is the country's flagship criminal justice institution, found 19 female Russian citizens guilty of “joining and supporting Daesh.” The court issued the verdicts as women, all accompanied by small children, attended the hearing. Families and relatives of Daesh Takfiri militants are seen after surrendering themselves to the Kurdish Peshmerga forces in ...

A few thoughts on our disastrous trillion-dollar military: It is unnecessary. It does not defend the United States. The last time it did so was in 1945. The United States has no military enemies. No nation has anything even close to the forces necessary to invade America, and probably none the desire. A fifth of the budget would suffice for any real needs. “Our boys” are not noble warriors protecting democracy, rescuing maidens, and righting wrongs. They are, like all soldiers, obedient and amoral killers. Pilots bombing Iraq or Syria know they are killing civilians. They do not care. If ordered to bomb Switzerland, they would do it. This is the nature of all armies. Glamorizing ...

"The lesson that should be learned from Syria and Skripal is that if “an incident” looks like it has no obvious motive behind it, there is a high probability that it is a false flag" -- take it from Philip Giraldi, a veteran of the CIA of 20 years False Flag is a concept that goes back centuries. It was considered to be a legitimate ploy by the Greeks and Romans, where a military force would pretend to be friendly to get close to an enemy before dropping the pretense and raising its banners to reveal its own affiliation just before launching an attack. In the sea battles of the eighteenth century among Spain, France and Britain hoisting an enemy flag instead of ...

The USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group left the east coast Naval Station Norfolk, VA on 11th April. The aircraft carrier is accompanied by the guided-missile cruiser USS Normandy, the guided-missile destroyers USS Burke, Bulkeley, Forest Sherman and Farragut, and the destroyers USS Jason and The Sullivans. The strike group carries 6,500 sailors and Carrier Air Wing One. Recent announcements about Russia’s hypersonic Kinzhal (‘Dagger’) missile system having made these vessels effectively obsolete, this means that the ships and their crews are essentially being sailed into a bloody scrapyard. Even without the recent upgrading of the Kinzhal system, the experience of ...

Did the Pentagon collaborate with Moscow on which targets to hit? The April 14 missile attacks on Syria were a politically-motivated fireworks display that were largely designed to silence Trump’s critics. The attacks– which were coordinated with Moscow– did not kill any Russian, Syrian, Iranian or Hezbollah combat troops. They did not kill any Syrian civilians. They did not impede the Syrian Army’s ongoing military offensive or roll back any of the recent territorial gains in East Ghouta. They did not destroy any critical infrastructure nor did they undermine the determination of the Russian-led coalition to continue to prosecute the 7 year-long war against CIA-backed ...

What really happened? The two sides can't even agree on how many and which sites were targeted. This is extremely strange. At least one of the parties is lying big time So we now finally have some limited clarity on the outcome of this year’s first Syria crisis Cruise Missile Strike US frigates, B-1 bombers, and French/UK fighters launched around 100 cruise missiles at Syria, incidentally taking care to launch from far away and stay outside the radius of Russia’s A2AD bubbles.

Analysis from Russian news agency has quite a different perspective on US and the Syrian strike than the Western Mainstream wish to portray Syria is still largely at the center of the geopolitical news focus. As in all military conflicts, the powers involved are each involved in their own version of “we won.” In an analysis piece written by Victor Marakhovsky of RIA Novosti, the stance is that Russia won this event without so much as firing a shot.

President Donald Trump on Saturday (Syria time) ordered air strikes against Syria in retaliation for an alleged chemical weapons attack last weekend outside Damascus. “I ordered the United States armed forces to launch precision strikes on targets associated with the chemical weapon capabilities of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad,” Trump said from the White House. The strikes were carried out together with Britain and France, he ...

T DIDN'T TAKE 72 HOURS; TRUMP LAUNCHES WAR AGAINST SYRIA At 4 am local time, U.S. U.K., and French jets fired an undetermined number of missiles on so-called "chemical" targets in Syria in supposed retaliation for Syria's alleged gas attack against the Syrian people. But there is absolutely NO PROOF that the chemical attack came from the Syrian government. Everyone seems to have conveniently forgotten that the U.S. certified that Syria had given up its chemical weapons back in 2014. Do you know which country has the largest stockpile of chemical weapons? The United States, that's which one. Plus, everyone knows that the Islamist terrorists fighting the Assad ...
Trump Backing Away From Attack on Syria

Phone calls to White House overwhelmingly opposed to strike President Donald Trump is backing away from a threatened imminent attack on Syria. This comes just a day after he told the Russian military to “get ready” because US missiles will be coming at Syria. Suggestions earlier in the week were that the attack could happen any day. Trump now only says that a decision will be made “fairly soon.” He argued that yesterday’s “get ready” Tweet never said when the attack would happen, saying in a new Tweet it “could be very soon or not so soon at all!” He also expressed anger in the Tweet that no one had thanked him for ridding the region of ISIS. ...
The U.S. Military: Proud Owners of One-Third of Syria

How many American citizens even realize the U.S. military now occupies most of the eastern third of Syria? He called it the "Pottery Barn" rule: you break it, you buy it! Former secretary of state Colin Powell was, of course, referring to Iraq back in 2003, warning President George W. Bush about the inherent risks of regime change. “What comes next?” he liked to ask. Though, admittedly, the United States was hardly responsible for most of the “breaking” in Syria—that ignominious honor belongs to Bashar al-Assad—Powell’s question remains relevant today. Why? Because the risk-reward calculation in Syria is completely unbalanced, with a real ...

The U.S. military remains mired in countless wars in the Greater Middle East. Ironically – and tragically – it tends to combat Islamists that Washington either armed or birthed. We, Americans, truly are a strange lot. Our government in Washington – ostensibly representative of "We the People" – speaks of peace, but wages endless war, prattles on about "freedom," but backs absolute monarchs and authoritarian strongmen the world over. A bipartisan array of politicians warns of the evils of radical Islamic (though Islamist is more accurate) terrorism; and yet, truthfully, the US once supported and/or funded those same extremists not too long ago.

PressTV... An initial assessment by the United States has not determined whether a reported chemical attack in the Syrian town of Douma was carried out by Syrian government forces, Reuters reports. The assessment also suggested that a nerve agent was used in the suspected poison attack, but further evidence was needed to determine the type of agent, US government sources told the news agency. In a pair of tweets on Sunday, President Donald Trump appeared to blame the Syrian government and Russia for Saturday’s chemical incident in the suburb of Damascus, and warned of “a big price.” Trump also called out Russian President Vladimir Putin for his role in Syria’s ...

PressTV... Syria has warned about the “dangerous repercussions” of Israeli assaults on its territories, stressing that a recent attack on an air base in the Arab country’s province of Homs would not have been possible without massive US support. The warning was made by the Syrian Foreign Ministry in a letter to the United Nations secretary general and the UNSC president on Monday, Syria's official news agency SANA reported. Two Israeli F-15 warplanes carried out strikes from Lebanese air space on T-4 air base in Homs on Sunday that killed and wounded several people. Syrian air defense systems shot down five out of eight missiles fired. In the framework of its policies ...
