Murder Of Green Berets In Jordan Exposed Secretive CIA Syria Program Details

"The Jordanian government had a strong incentive to gloss over the murders of the three Green Berets. Likewise, the CIA was scared of potential blowback and the exposing of their covert program," says investigative journalist Jack Murphy, himself an Army special forces veteran. A premeditated green-on-blue attack in Jordan outside of King Faisal Air Base (at al-Jafr in Southern Jordan) late last year resulted in the deaths of three elite US Green Berets in what the media initially dubbed a mere unfortunate gate incident and what the Jordanian government dismissed as a "a tragic accident devoid of any terrorist motives". But the whole event and subsequent attempts at ...
With New D.C. Policy Group, Dems Continue to Rehabilitate and Unify With Bush-Era Neocons

ONE OF THE most under-discussed yet consequential changes in the American political landscape is the reunion between the Democratic Party and the country’s most extreme and discredited neocons. While the rise of Donald Trump, whom neocons loathe, has accelerated this realignment, it began long before the ascension of Trump and is driven by far more common beliefs than contempt for the current president. A newly formed and, by all appearances, well-funded national security advocacy group, devoted to more hawkish U.S. policies toward Russia and other adversaries, provides the most vivid evidence yet of this alliance. Calling itself the Alliance for Securing Democracy, the group ...
Syria - THE ART OF THE CEASE FIRE DEAL

Syper... Many of my readers were disappointed with the pattern of truces emerging after the Syrian Army had successfully laid sieges to towns and cities occupied by the terrorist groups supported by the United States, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the U.K. and NATO. As these cease-fires started to proliferate, ordinary citizens began to return to their homes and to celebrate the expulsion of these nihilist devil worshipers. Today, the U.N. confirms that over half a million refugees from Lebanon have returned to their homes in Al-Zabadaani, Madhaayaa, Al-Qusayr and Al-Wa’er, to name but a few areas liberated through cease-fire agreements. But, these truces have an underlying logic not lost on ...

It is not Macron’s business who is the Syrian president, but it is good that he thinks eliminating the terrorist threat is more important than ousting Bashar Assad in a regime change, says Lew Rockwell, editor of LewRockwell.com. After the first day of meetings between President Donald Trump and his French counterpart in Paris, President Emmanuel Macron made a statement on how he sees a solution to the crisis in Syria, RT spoke to Lew Rockwell for his views on the meeting between the two presidents. RT: Not long ago, Macron was saying Assad’s exit was the only way to peace in Syria. Now he can stay, apparently. What’s caused the sudden about-turn? Lew Rockwell: First of ...

Those who defended Syria from the real terrorists are now being vilified by the west One of the key participants in the Syrian conflict, Hezbollah, is also one of the most overlooked players in the region. Since the start of the civil war, Hezbollah has played a key role both militarily and politically, in order to protect Syria and it government from outside meddlers and illegal foreign interventions. Hezbollah is a predominantly Shia Muslim political party in Lebanon, which boasts one of the strongest militaries in the Middle East. Hezbollah is not new to military success; in 2006 the Israeli army was swiftly defeated in under two months and was expelled from south Lebanon. Since the ...
Trump Wants Authority to Build New Bases in Iraq, Syria

White House Complains Legal Restrictions Are Hampering 'Temporary' Sites The White House has issued a statement this week calling on Congress to grant President Trump unilateral legal authority to open new military bases in both Iraq and Syria, as well as to renovate existing facilities. Officials say the bases would be purely temporary in nature. What “temporary” actually means however is unclear, particularly in Iraq where the Pentagon has been very public about the idea that they intend to keep US ground troops in Iraq more or less forever. Those bases, then, are going to be open-ended facilities for an open-ended mission. The White House says that the current lack ...

During the time that U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis and National Security Adviser H. R. McMaster are reviewing the U.S. military policy in Afghanistan, The New York Times ran a story on July 10, 2017 that exposed a threat that will upend U.S. defense strategy and return it to a bitter past. The Times story was centered around the following paragraph: «Erik D. Prince, a founder of the private security firm Blackwater Worldwide, and Stephen A. Feinberg, a billionaire financier who owns the giant military contractor DynCorp International, have developed proposals to rely on contractors instead of American troops in Afghanistan at the behest of Stephen K.

Via Daily Caller: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi slammed Republicans for trying to “rip away” health care for transgender service members. In a statement Thursday, Pelosi said the “disgusting” attempt to restrict funds from being used to provide gender transition treatments is “unprecedented, unacceptable and undermines our national security.” “Republicans should be ashamed: instead of protecting the men and women who risk their lives to defend our freedoms, they are fighting to rip away ...

BEIRUT, LEBANON (11:00 P.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) launched a big assault in the Golan Heights tonight, targeting Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham’s defenses at the town of Al-Samdaniyah Al-Gharbiyah. Backed by Liwaa Suqour Al-Quneitra and Fouj Al-Joulan of the National Defense Forces (NDF), the Syrian Arab Army attempted to advance west from the town of Al-Samdaniyah Al-Sharqiyah to nearby Al-Samdaniyah Al-Ghariyah. Despite targeting the Al-Qaeda linked rebels, the Syrian Arab Army found themselves under the watchful eye of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), as the latter’s military personnel and drones monitored the attack from afar.

Sypers It’s now official, the Syrian military has unchallenged control over the Syrian-Iraqi nexus-point at Al-Dhulay’aat on the outskirts of Hameema Village. Attacking ISIS from the Third Oil Station to the Second Oil Station, the army has done what nobody expected which is to block any attempt by the American-supported cannibals at Al-Tanf to move northward and establish a rump state designed to impede Iran’s effort to extend its natural gas pipeline all the way to Syria’s coast. The army, as you all know now, has cleared out all obstacles in the way of the Baghdad-Damascus Highway, essential to moving weapons from Iran to Syria, and, provocatively, to HZB. As I write ...
Op-Ed Trump is setting up his generals as fall guys for Afghanistan
Post Date: 2017-06-29 06:24:22 by Ada

In David Michôd’s lacerating new movie “War Machine,” Brad Pitt plays Gen. Glen McMahon, the latest in a long line of generals to preside over America’s war in Afghanistan. As he prepares to assume command, McMahon declares his firm intention to “win this thing.” Wars exist to be won and generals exist to do the winning. McMahon (a thinly fictionalized version of real-life Gen. Stanley McChrystal) fervently adheres to this quaint view. So too, do many ordinary Americans. Faith in generals provides an excuse to avoid thinking seriously about war. Count President Trump among those who apparently share in that faith. As a business executive (and reality ...

“Most terrorists are false flag terrorists or are created by our own security services.

RT... Afghanistan is “at a critical point” in its battle against multiple insurgencies and terrorist groups, the Pentagon has said in a new report to Congress. It also reveals that US and Afghan authorities are seeking peace through talks with the Taliban. Sixteen years after the US-led invasion aimed at overthrowing the Taliban and denying a safe haven to Al-Qaeda – the group blamed for 9/11 terrorist attacks – Afghanistan is facing a “continuing threat” from as many as 20 insurgent and terrorist networks, in what the US Department of Defense called “the highest concentration of extremist and terrorist groups in the world.” That is one of the ...

By Chuck BaldwinOne thing globalist Republicans and Democrats both love is WAR. They might squabble over social and domestic issues, but when it comes to war, the two parties are ONE. As I have said repeatedly, there is really only ONE party in Washington, D.C.: the War Party. And “outsider” Donald Trump has quickly mastered the presidential art of killing. Let’s face it: our federal government has become one of the bloodiest regimes in world history. Between the killing of unborn babies and the killing of men, women, and children around the world in our so-called war on terror, the U.S. government is an insatiable, sadistic killing machine. And all of the talk about ...
Escalation in Syria: US Shoots Down Iranian Drone

RI... The US has decided that its self-declared "de-confliction zone" in southeastern Syria is under grave threat—and that any aircraft approaching it must be annihilated. This is basically the reason the Pentagon gave for downing an Iranian-made armed drone "just outside" the 55 kilometer "de-confliction zone" around al-Tanf. So much for de-escalation in Syria. First on CNN: US F-15 shot down a 2nd Iranian made drone near At Tanf, Syria Monday.
