TEHRAN (FNA)- Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the United Nations in Geneva Alexey Borodavkin expressed concerns over the US presence in Syria, calling on the American forces in Syria illegally “to pack their rucksacks and go.” “We believe that after the victory over the ISIL terrorists there is no need for the US-led coalition to further remain in Syria, especially given that they had not been invited there,” Sputnik quoted Borodavkin as saying, adding that “So, we are calling on the Americans to pack their rucksacks and go.” He also confirmed that the Syrian Armed Forces are now capable of repelling the terrorists' offensives in ...
Okay, I Admit It: Trump IS a Russian Agent

Bravo Donald! You did what only a very shrewd and brilliant Russian agent could do: you have made the USA a pariah in all of the Middle-East, the entire Muslim world and, well, much of the rest of the world too! Okay, I admit it: Trump is a Russian agent. I tried really, really hard to deny it, but now I can’t continue anymore because I am presented with an absolutely incontrovertible truth: only a Russian agent infiltrated to the highest levels of power in the USA, the White House, could have done what Trump did a couple of days ago: recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. That, truly, was the dumbest and most self-defeating thing a US President could possibly do, and Trump ...
Threatened US Naval blockade of North Korea represents the illegal starvation of a nation

A proposed US Naval blockade of North Korea is an admission that sanctions do not work and puts the world on a course for millions of innocent deaths in both Asia and North America. Saudi Arabia’s Naval blockade of Yemen has caused the profoundest human rights disaster of the 20th century. Mass starvation, critical levels of malnutrition among those who are able to find morsels of food, a severe lack of medicines and clean water in addition to a largely untreated Cholera epidemic, now typify life for thousands in Yemen. Most horrifyingly, the entire catastrophe in Yemen is man made due to Saudi Arabia’s refusal to let the most essential of supplies into the country’s ...

Mainstream media in 2013: "Conspiracy Theorists!" Mainstream media in 2017: "ISIS Got a Powerful Missile the CIA Bought!" Years late to the party, mainstream media outlets like USA Today, Reuters, and Buzzfeed are just out with "breaking" and "exclusive" stories detailing how a vast arsenal of weapons sent to Syria by the CIA in cooperation with US allies fuelled the rapid growth of ISIS. Buzzfeed's story entitled, Blowback: ISIS Got A Powerful Missile The CIA Secretly Bought In Bulgaria, begins by referencing "a new report on how ISIS built its arsenal highlights how the US purchased munitions, intended for Syrian rebels, that ended up in ...
Former Economy Minister Ulyukayev Gets 8-Year Prison Sentence, the Reactions

MoscowTimes... The first serving minister in Russia to be convicted since the collapse of the Soviet Union was handed an eight-year prison sentence Friday for soliciting a $2 million bribe from the CEO of Russia’s state-owned oil giant Rosneft. Alexei Ulyukayev was arrested by the FSB after a sting operation at Rosneft’s offices in November last year orchestrated by its head Igor Sechin. Prosecutors had initially asked for the former economic development minister to be slapped with a 10-year sentence and a 500 million ruble ($8.5 million) fine. But in the final chapter of what proved to be a dramatic series of hearings — in which Sechin failed to respond to four court ...

But bonds were selling off so the FED intervened massively which lowered our long term 10 year Treasury bond rate. This is called an inverted yield curve (Long rates lower than short term. The derivatives market goes bust when liquidity dries up. A declining dollar will force foreigners to sell off US bonds and stocks that will trigger even more FED intervention.

But my country is still a prisoner of war. There has been a lot of talk about the action and about the person who took it, and about the hero and the heroic act, and the symbol and the symbolic act.

Over recent years, more than a million martyrs have fallen by the bullets of ...

China's Belt and Road Initiative heralds a new era with mega infrastructure projects dotting the landscape Geostrategic stupidity courtesy of America's NEOCONS If you are looking for the latest breakthroughs in trans-Eurasian geo-economics, you should keep an eye on the East – the Russian Far East. One interesting project is the new state-of-the-art $1.5 billion Bystrinsky plant. Located about 400 kilometers from the Chinese border by rail and tucked inside the Trans-Baikal region of Siberian, it is now finally open for business. This mining and processing complex, which contains up to 343 million tonnes of ore reserves, is a joint venture between Russian and Chinese ...
Iraq, Syria, Iran…Are We To Destroy Iran Next?

Neoconservatives won't stop until their plans to remake the Middle East are realized. Years ago there was a plan, A Clean Break: Project for the New American Century (PNAC), to wreck the Oslo peace accords between Israel and the Palestinians and to re-mold the Middle East. It first involved destroying Iraq, or in the discredited words of Paul Wolfowitz, “The road to peace in the Middle East goes through Baghdad.” Destroying Syria was to be next. And then came Iran. In 2006, columnist Taki Theodoracopulos warned in The American Conservative of the “Clean Break” plan “to aggressively remake the strategic environments of Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and ...

Kremlin Press Service President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday submitted a draft treaty to the State Duma that could expand Russia’s naval presence in Syria until 2092. The move follows Putin’s order to withdraw Russian forces from the war-torn country during a surprise visit to a Russian airbase there on Monday. Earlier this month, Russia said that the war in Syria was coming to an end — a claim the United States and opposition groups dispute.

In the 30-plus years I’ve been in the publishing business, I’ve seen my share of “new countries.” Some are scams, such as the Dominion of Melchizedek, which I exposed as a fraud nearly two decades ago. But most new countries are never fully realized simply because their promoters suffer from the delusion that their claims of sovereignty will magically be recognized, without anyone putting together a clear plan for getting there. There are two almost insurmountable obstacles: Getting anyone to take you seriously (diplomatic recognition, etc.) Defending your territory from incursions by more powerful neighbors A great example of a claim that hasn’t been taken ...
The Dumbing Down of America – By Design
Post Date: 2017-12-12 19:33:32 by Ada

The last thing the elite wants is an informed, empowered public mobilizing any grassroots movement to oppose government tyranny. First published by GR in August 2014 This presentation focuses on the myriad ways in which the powers-that-be in the United States have been systematically dumbing down Americans as a society for a very long time – all by meticulously calculated design. Originally the term dumbing down was used as a slang expression in 1933 by film screenwriters to mean “revising [the script] so as to appeal to those of lower education or intelligence.” The most obvious example of how Americans have been dumbed down is through this nation’s failed public ...

A new cabinet will mark neocon ascendancy Back during the admittedly brief shock and awe period that immediately followed on the Trump electoral victory, it appeared that there might be an actual realignment of American foreign policy. The neoconservatives virtually unanimously had opposed Donald Trump in the most vile terms, both in the GOP primaries and during the actual electoral campaign, making clear that Hillary was their choice for a future full of unrelenting, ideologically driven warfare to convert the world to democracy. By that metric, one would assume that Trump would prefer to be roasted on a spit rather than have neocons on his national security team, and many in the ...

Ramzan Kadyrov predicted that on the contrary, Ukraine would ultimately become part of the future state of “Great Russia.” “What [Ukrainian President Petro] Poroshenko has in his mind, Tuka says out loud! There is no other way to explain the anti-Russian stunt performed by the Ukrainian deputy minister ‘for occupied territories and internally displaced persons’ Georgiy Tuka,” Kadyrov wrote in his channel in the Telegram messenger.

“We will never accept Russia’s occupation and attempted annexation of Crimea,” declaimed Rex Tillerson last week in Vienna. “Crimea-related sanctions will remain in place until Russia returns full control of the peninsula to Ukraine.” Tillerson’s principled rejection of the seizure of land by military force—”never accept”—came just one day after President Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and pledged to move our embassy there. How did Israel gain title to East Jerusalem, the West Bank, and the Golan Heights? Invasion, occupation, colonization, annexation. Those lands are the spoils of victory from Israel’s 1967 ...

PressTV... The Iranian defense minister has denounced the recent "provocative and unwise" decision by US President Donald Trump to recognize Jerusalem al-Quds as Israel's "capital," saying the United States and Israeli regime are responsible for any further tension and bloodshed in the Middle East. Brigadier General Amir Hatami said on Monday that Trump's bid was a serious plot aimed at violating rights of the Palestinian people. "This move will hasten the destruction of the Zionist regime [Israel] and will double unity among Muslims," he added. The US president on Wednesday defied global warnings and said Washington formally recognized Jerusalem ...

Poland Balks at "Unacceptable" $10.5 Billion Price Tag for US Patriot Missiles That Don't Work

Russia is selling NATO member Turkey its S-400 for $2 billion, while the US wants to extract over $10 billion from its fan number one. Polish doubts come soon after it was revealed Patriots were beaten by a 1960s Soviet Scud, again. Poland has been pushing toward the purchase of a medium-range air-and- missile defense system for many years, settling on an unprecedented configuration of the Patriot system, but was surprised by the high price tag presented when the U.S. State Department cleared the sale of half of the Patriots Poland plans to buy. According to the Defense Security Cooperation Agency, when it notified Congress last month of the potential sale, the deal could cost the ...
76 Years of Pearl Harbor Lies

“New Pearl Harbors” are longed for by war makers, claimed, and exploited. Yet the original Pearl Harbor remains the most popular U.S. argument for all things military. Donald Trump is tweeting about a particular spot in Hawaii. He visited it recently on his way to threaten war in Asia. It’s a big feature this week in lots of U.S. magazines and newspapers. It has a lovely name that sounds like murder and blood because Japanese airplanes engaged in large-scale murder there in 1941: Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbor Day today is like Columbus Day 50 years ago. That is to say: most people still believe the hype. The myths are still maintained in their blissful unquestioned state. ...

Authored by Drieu Godefridi via The Gatestone Institute, Last month alone in Brussels, there were three separate outbreaks of rioting and looting on a major scale. If you penetrate the thick cloud of professional indignation to scrutinize the reality of the "capital of Europe", what you see in many respects is actually a hell hole, one where socialism, Islamism, riots and looting are the new normal. When then-candidate Donald Trump noted in January 2016 that, thanks to mass immigration, Brussels was turning into a hell hole, Belgian and European politicians presented a united front at the (media) barricades: How dare he say such a thing? Brussels, capital of the European ...
