What’s Going on in Syria?

What’s Going on in Syria?

Syria is the mother of all mysteries. Even the Romans couldn’t figure out all the intrigues, plots, factions, coups and assassinations that were common there. Nor could they understand or deal with its hotbed of religions and weird sects. Two thousand years later, not much has changed. This week, irregular forces of a former al-Qaida outfit named Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) appeared out of the countryside and seized Syria’s second most important city, Aleppo. Syria’s dormant 14-year-old civil...

Biden’s Nuclear Going Out of Business Sale

Biden’s Nuclear Going Out of Business Sale

Has the world forgotten the real danger of nuclear war? Do we live in a fantasy world where we think we can escalate tensions and put entire portions of the world under threat by using Ukraine as a sacrificial pawn (in what is classically sold as providing humanitarian and ally support) in a decades-long psychopathic foreign policy play to destroy Russia? According to the laws of war, NATO, the U.S., the U.K., and France have determined to become “direct participants” in Europe's deadly...

‘Target is Damascus,’ Erdogan Hopes ‘Smooth March’ Toward Toppling Assad

‘Target is Damascus,’ Erdogan Hopes ‘Smooth March’ Toward Toppling Assad

After Friday prayers in Ankara, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan issued an unexpected statement which for many is tantamount to a full-on admission this his intelligence services are behind Hayat Tahrir al-Sham's capture of Aleppo, and ongoing blitz south.  "The target is Damascus," he said bluntly. "I would say we hope for this advance to continue without any issues." Thus the president of Turkey has just issued over approval for a jihadist-led regime change...

US Has Stopped Ukrainian ATACMS Strikes On Russia

US Has Stopped Ukrainian ATACMS Strikes On Russia

As further ATACMS strikes on Russia seem to have stopped this timeline is of interest. November 18: U.S. allows Ukraine to use ATACMS missiles against targets within Russia: The reversal of policy, nearly 1,000 days since Russia started its full-scale invasion on Ukraine, comes largely in response to Russia's deployment of North Korean troops to supplement its forces, a development that has caused alarm in Washington and Kyiv, a U.S. official and a source familiar with the decision...

Romanian Court Annuls Vote, Declares Presidential Election Do-Over, After ‘Far Right, Pro Russian’ Candidate On Top

Romanian Court Annuls Vote, Declares Presidential Election Do-Over, After ‘Far Right, Pro Russian’ Candidate On Top

Something unprecedented just happened in the NATO and EU member country of Romania - a top court on Friday annulled the first round of the country's presidential election. Essentially there will now be a 'do over' election. The Constitutional Court made the decision even as voting is still underway in the diaspora. "The electoral process for the election of the President of Romania will be resumed in its entirety, with the Government required to set a new date for the...

The End of Pluralism in the Middle East

The End of Pluralism in the Middle East

A truly seismic change in the Middle East appears to be happening very fast. At its heart is a devil’s bargain – Turkey and the Gulf States accept the annihilation of the Palestinian nation and creation of a Greater Israel, in return for the annihilation of the Shia minorities of Syria and Lebanon and the imposition of Salafism across the Eastern Arab world. This also spells the end for Lebanon and Syria’s Christian communities, as witness the tearing down of all Christmas decorations, the...

Erdogan’s Idlib Shock Shadows ‘Kursk’

Erdogan’s Idlib Shock Shadows ‘Kursk’

“Doomsters” is an occasional Russian expression used to categorise commentators that only see the “dark side to events” (a vice quite prevalent during the Soviet era). Marat Khairullin, a highly respected Russian military analyst, says, “Today, a network of mercenary war bloggers has begun another round of moaning - this time about Syria, where apparently everything is lost for Russia.” “Many see the events in Syria (and some add Georgia to the mix) as attempts to open additional fronts...

Three Cheers for Hunter’s Pardon

Three Cheers for Hunter’s Pardon

My initial reaction to the issuance of a full pardon by President Joe Biden to his son Hunter was emotional. What father wouldn’t pardon his own son, if he could? I suspect that the president has harbored these paternal thoughts even while he denied numerous times that he was planning on doing so. We have come to expect lying in politicians. When the president denied that he planned to pardon his son, he had every reason to believe that he’d be a candidate for reelection -- and he wanted his...

You’d Better Watch Out: The Surveillance State Is Making a List, and You’re On It

You’d Better Watch Out: The Surveillance State Is Making a List, and You’re On It

You’d better watch out—you’d better not pout—you’d better not cry—‘cos I’m telling you why: this Christmas, it’s the Surveillance State that’s making a list and checking it twice, and it won’t matter whether you’ve been bad or good. You’ll be on this list whether you like it or not. Mass surveillance is the Deep State’s version of a “gift” that keeps on giving…back to the Deep State. Geofencing dragnets. Fusion centers. Smart devices. Behavioral threat assessments. Terror watch...

Neocons Try Again in Syria

Neocons Try Again in Syria

On the neocon list of ways to make the world safer for Israel, Iran originally occupied pride of place. “Real men go to Tehran!” was the muscular brag. But Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was persuaded to acquiesce in a less ambitious plan — to “do Iraq” and remove the “evil dictator” in Baghdad first. As the invaders/occupiers got bogged down in Iraq, it seemed more sensible to “do Syria” next. With the help of “friendly services,” the neocons mounted a false-flag chemical attack outside Damascus...

Soros, sanctions, propaganda: How the US government secretly controls the ‘world’s largest investigative journalism organization’

Soros, sanctions, propaganda: How the US government secretly controls the ‘world’s largest investigative journalism organization’

An investigation published on Monday by France’s Mediapart and its partners, including Drop Site News (US), Il Fatto Quotidiano (Italy), and Reporters United (Greece), has uncovered that the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), the world’s largest investigative journalism network, is secretly controlled by the US government.   The report reveals that Washington has provided around half of the organization’s funding and has significant sway over its leadership and...

Netanyahu Indicted For Crimes Against Humanity

Netanyahu Indicted For Crimes Against Humanity

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was indicted by the International Criminal Court on November 21 for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The U.S. is not a member of this court, and I don’t think it should be because it would not allow jury trials for some crimes committed by U.S. citizens on U.S. soil. But the U.S. played a central role in the establishment of the court, and the fact that we are not a member certainly does not make the indictment less true. The indictment charges...

The Long War to Reaffirm Western and Israeli Primacy Undergoes a Shape-shift

The Long War to Reaffirm Western and Israeli Primacy Undergoes a Shape-shift

The long war to reaffirm western and Israeli primacy is undergoing a shape-shift. On one front, the calculus in respect to Russia and the Ukraine war has shifted. And in the Middle East, the locus and shape of the war is shifting in a distinct way. Georges Kennan’s famed Soviet doctrine has long formed the baseline to US policy, firstly directed toward the Soviet Union, and latterly, towards Russia. Kennan’s thesis from 1946 was that the United States needed to work patiently and resolutely to...

DOGE’s Best First Target: the National Endowment for Democracy

DOGE’s Best First Target: the National Endowment for Democracy

The new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) should seriously consider the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) for its high priority list of federal cost cutting measures in 2025. It’s not only a sinkhole of American taxpayer dollars—over $1 billion in congressional appropriations from 2020, 2021, 2022 to 2023—but NED’s mission to “promote freedom around the world" has over the decades translated into countless cases of counterproductive meddling that puts truly organic...

Legal Plunder: Indiana Police Prey On Packages Transiting Huge FedEx Hub

Legal Plunder: Indiana Police Prey On Packages Transiting Huge FedEx Hub

From a federal government operating far beyond the bounds of the Constitution to law enforcement agencies routinely entering private property without warrants, tyranny takes many forms in the United States. However, few are as shocking to the sensibilities as civil asset forfeiture, the controversial practice that empowers police to seize money, cars, trucks, houses or anything else they merely accuse of having a link to criminal activity — regardless of whether the...

Biden’s Parting Shot at America

Biden’s Parting Shot at America

The interim between a US presidential election and the swearing in of a new Administration has for most of our history been a non-eventful period where the outgoing Administration winds down operations and the incoming Administration ramps up new personnel before the inauguration. The 20th Amendment to our Constitution was enacted in 1933 to reduce the “lame duck” period between election and inauguration to January 20th instead of March 4th. Increasing ease in travel and communications made...
