The Day of Judgement - ( RU5514 )

Obama’s boyfriends

September 9, 2013. The Day of Judgement. Judgement by a forum of law without jurisdiction over a case whose details it does not know, judgment by the clique of corporate elitists which control this forum trying it manipulate it into justifying the unjustifiable. Just maybe they will fail and Congress will prevail in respecting its Founding Fathers.

Firstly, let there be no mistake whatsoever about the proper forum of international law covering the Syria case, more specifically the use of chemical weapons in Ghouta on August 21 2013. After the local court in Damascus, for this was a criminal case pending a full report from the Syrian authorities, the forum of law to which any international military action pertains is the United Nations Security Council, not the US Congress.

The US Congress regulates issues inside, and for, the citizens of the United States of America. If the USA does not accept the UNSC as the proper forum of international law, then it should not have signed the Charter and should leave the United Nations Organization before it breaches the treaty it signed. Either you abide by the terms of the treaties you sign, or you leave the treaty. You cannot have it both ways, signing a document then manipulating the truth and if things do not go your way, breaching its rules or bypassing the organisms it created.

Secondly, it is still very unclear as to what happened in Ghouta on August 21, but what is becoming clearer and clearer as the shroud of uncertainty passes is that the gas attack was not ordered by President Bashar al-Assad. Previous gas attacks have been perpetrated by the Syrian Opposition forces, and where was the brouhaha from the West about that?

All they did was try to use terrorist chemical attacks to incriminate the Syrian Armed Forces.

And as I write this column I am going to go out on a limb and say something that nobody else has said to date: would anyone put it past the west in general, NATO in particular, the terrorist-supporting FUKUS Axis (France-UK-US) principally and the CIA, especially, to have carried out a chemical weapons attack from a position behind Government lines using a rogue officer or an infiltrator?

The answer I hear is a resounding NO. And would the Syrian government use chemical weapons against the citizens it is trying to defend from foreign mercenaries and terrorists supported by the west and armed and financed by Qatar and Saudi Arabia? Would the Syrian government deploy chemical weapons on the eve of a UN inspection? Would the Syrian government deploy such weapons in an area where it was winning the battle? Would the Syrian government deploy such weapons against its own troops?

Why has President Obama used images of children and not those of Syrian soldiers caught up in the same attack? Why does he hide these from the citizens of the United States of America? Because he is a manipulative and cynical fraud who does not deserve to hold his position? Why has Secretary Kerry used a photo from Iraq in 2003 to underline his case? Because he is a barefaced liar? Why has the US Government not produced one shred of clear evidence against the Syrian Armed Forces/government? Why did they ignore previous chemical weapons attacks from their own terrorist forces?

Why does President Obama lie by saying this is the first chemical weapons attack this century, when he knows the first chemical weapons attack was in Kosovo and then in Iraq in which hundreds of thousands of victims were left dead or maimed and the soil radioactive for billions of years?

When Congress votes, and when Obama makes his appraisal, think of this: long after the Sun goes out, vast swathes of land in Europe and Asia will remain poisoned and radioactive, thanks to the United States of America and the United Kingdom’s Kosovo and Iraq wars. Where was the Congress vote on this?

So, Congress having no jurisdiction to vote for war overseas, President Obama not having any justification to call for military action, any such action can only be interpreted as an act of aggression, a war crime, rendering the President of the USA a war criminal and any personnel perpetrating such an outrage or backing an act of murder liable to de-selection from their posts and to prosecution for incitement to murder.

They will be named and shamed, hunted down and brought to justice in a proper court of law. If international law exists it is to be upheld and there are consequences for breaching it. This is the Day of Judgement and today humankind is judging the United States of America.

One final point: how do the United States Armed personnel in its Navy, Air Force and Army feel, how do its emergency services personnel – firemen and ambulance drivers – feel about the involvement of their country on the side of al-Qaeda terrorists who have murdered around 100.000 Syrian citizens including soldiers, including firemen?

Do you know what they do? They use munitions supplied or bought or facilitated by your country to create a terrorist incident, such as slicing the heads off 121 kids (it happened recently) and then when the emergency services show up, they detonate bombs or shoot them from afar.

Do you feel OK with your Congress and President if they vote to help these bastards? Don’t shrug. Hold them responsible, do the right thing.

John Kerry ready to forgive Bashar Assad - ( RU5514 )

09.09.2013 | Source:

Pravda.Ru

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said that there would be no military action in Syria, if the leadership of the country handed over all existing chemical weapons under the control of the international community, Deutsche Welle reports.

According to Kerry, military intervention is not enough to solve the Syrian problem. According to him, there is no military solution.

The U.S. Congress is to vote on the question of military intervention Syria on September 11. According to preliminary reports, the House of Representatives is unlikely to approve it, over the fear of another major war in the Middle East.

Syria shows rebirth and legitimization of fascism in the West - ( RU5514 )

“Russia has to support Syria and establish a system of collective defense. If we lose Syria, we will be ignored by everyone,” believes the former head of the Main Directorate for International Military Cooperation of the Russian Defense Ministry, Colonel-General in reserve Leonid Ivashov. He talked about his ideas in an interview with Pravda.Ru.
 
Leonid, the most urgent question now is whether the United States will strike a missile attack on Syria?

“What is happening today around Syria is nothing but the rebirth and legitimization of fascism in the West. The West has brought the biggest disasters to humanity, including Crusades, Napoleon, the First and the Second World War. Today we see that the ideological basis for the Western elites is not some humanistic, messianic goals. Some sort of a dangerous mixture of perverted liberalism, fascism and homosexuality was formed in the ideological sphere. These are insane people, but they, unfortunately, rule today in their countries and determine their policy. This explosive mixture is being distributed worldwide. The Americans started this operation two years ago against Syria, and we carefully monitored it. To date they have not been able to break the Syrian regime, the Syrian people, and found themselves at a dead-end. They have invested their political capital in this operation and involved their satellites in the operation to destroy Syria.”

 What countries are the most faithful allies of the Americans in this regard?

“They do not have allies, they only have satellites that have forked out to aid formation of bands of mercenaries, especially Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Now they see that Bashar al-Assad held out, which means that all of their efforts and their political capital are bursting like a bubble. For the Americans, this is not only a loss of face, but the loss of control over their satellites. It is understandable that they want to prove their strength, their power, their leadership in this western gangster world community.

And so, in Syria they are ready to do anything, including a great lie to prove their strength, their power and prove their satellites and other countries including Russia that the Americans have to be reckoned with. For the sake of their interests, for the sake of their huge profits, we must obey. This is the logic they have laid today, and they cannot refuse it because the United States, as well as Western countries, is ruled not by real politicians, not by representatives of the people, buy this huge financial capital. And for the sake of their profit, like Marx had said, they will commit any crime, just like they are doing now.” 

Does this mean that the aggression against Syria and its defeat is inevitable?

“I do not think so. We now see that the world begins to change dramatically. It is a transition state, but the worst of it – West-centered – is changing for the better. The beginning of this change is obvious. So far Russia is negotiating, showing its independence. Putin announced the formation of the Eurasian Union. We see the Chinese are willing to transform the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, a powerful transcontinental Eurasian bloc. We see the BRICS countries, a big part of the population, too, wants a new world and is already laying the bricks in its foundation. It is clear now that the Americans are afraid.

And this force is not involved today. Take Russia for example. The humanity after World War II entrusted Russia with the most important function – the maintenance of international peace, and elected Russia a permanent member of the Security Council. And this is not only an honorable duty or a duty to remember our fallen soldiers. This is a big responsibility for the maintenance of the international peace. In this situation Russia must require urgent convention of the UN Security Council and introduce a resolution condemning the preparations for aggression and disallowing it.

The second duty of Russia is to provide support for the implementation of Syrian individual or collective defense. This is not just a right, it is a duty we owe to support both individually and form a system of collective defense. We have not done that. The heads of BRICS countries adopted a resolution on Syria in Durban this year. It was a unanimous decision of five countries. But why even today the Ministers of Foreign Affairs are not getting together to state that they are the international community, and they declare on behalf of the three billion people on the planet that they are against it. But this is not done.”

In light of recent events and the general situation in the Middle East and the Caucasus, perhaps it would make sense to organize delivery of Russian arms to Iran?

“You know, today there is no problem in supplying guns to Iran. The problems are, in my opinion, are orders from Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv does not want us to supply to Iran, it does not want us to supply to Syria, and we don’t. Our military- technical cooperation with these countries is completely controlled from Tel Aviv. This was stated way back by Ariel Sharon when he was a defense minister.

Then, I think, in the late 1990s, he came as an inspector, saw who teaches whom and what, and so on. We have to admit that it’s better to open a branch of the Israeli Ministry of Defense or the Department of Commerce, and declare that this is it. Our government is still playing with the routes. These are two sovereign states! In Soviet times we always watched that the balance of power in one or another region was not violated.

The balance of power is a guarantee of security for both countries. But Tel Aviv today surpasses Iran in almost all military specifications. In order to avoid the war, the appropriate weapons must be supplied to Iran. This is our interest. Thus, we move aside the threat from the Caspian Sea, move aside the threat to our borders, and move aside millions of refugees fleeing to our country, and so on. But you see, for some reason our national interests are not in the foreground. I will tell you more, I want some reprisals against those who do it.”  

What do you mean?

“Look, today a famous company “Mig” is on the verge of bankruptcy because Mr. Pogosyan is pushing “Sukhoi” aircraft through corruption schemes. Worldwide, the ratio of light and heavy fighters is 70/30 in favor of light fighters. Today, manufacturing and development of light fighters is being shut down. Only heavy ones are made. There will be no one to cover infantry and win airspace. I attended the international nuclear center in Dubna.   

It is an international center dominated by the Americans. We cannot implement not only nuclear projects for the Defense Ministry but also conventional weapons projects without a resolution of the international community. What is going on? The Ministry of Defense cannot sign a contract. I visited a very interesting company – State Research Institute of Chemistry and Technology of element-organic compounds. I saw miracles there, including in the defense sector. They create composite materials and technologies, and, to be frank, defense products of the second half of the 21st century. An American company addressed them in order to collaborate with them. Naturally, it is a closed topic, so they are denied. A request from another firm comes in and it is also denied. What do then our Russian Technologies do? They fire the director, say that all businesses of the Russian Technologies should be profitable, and today they are saying that a shopping center should be built on the basis of the non-profit institute, and it will start bringing a profit tomorrow. How is this not a crime?

This is treason, there is no other name for it. Those who do it still hope to avoid punishment, hope to escape and hide somewhere in the West. First of all, let them look at all these defectors. They will be extradited, found and shot for these things. I am convinced of it. And this will happen in this decade. This is why it is so difficult to talk about defense, security today. On the one hand there was hope that Sergei Shoigu will come and restore order.

And he started, but we see obstacles everywhere today. The Ministry of Finance does not fund the contracts that the Defense Ministry was ready to sign, for example, with “Mig.” This establishment that works for the defense, our military and space industry, for “Bulava,” for our fleet, works quite successfully, but is not in a position to defend the Defense Ministry. There is nobody in this country to protect – everything is bought, everything is sold. I hope that Syria, the last ally in the East, will not be given up.”

In your opinion, why did the Americans ignore the air show MAKS -2013?

“As for the non-participation of the Americans in the show, you know, the Americans used to come here not for the sake of technology as virtually there is nothing new left. They just came here to demonstrate the friendly relations between Bush – Putin, Obama – Medvedev, and so on. Today, the relations cooled off a bit, we no longer concede to the Americans in everything, that’s why they chose not to attend. They do not want it. How can we organize these shows without developing our aircraft industry, destroying it step by step? Our government is very interesting. The president and the government do not show the progress of the country, but every day have their PR for the public. There is nothing to boast about, so they can only promote themselves. This is their entire policy.”

Revealed: US Plans for Syria, 2006 - ( RU5514 )

Going through Wikileaks is a depressing yet telling experience, and the more you look, the more you can see why the USA preaches freedom of expression then tries to incarcerate or kill whistle-blowers. Below is a document showing the United States of America had plans for Syria as far back as 2006.

Reference ID 06DAMASCUS5399. Created 2006-12-13 16:03. Classification: SECRET. Origin: Embassy Damascus. Now let’s take a little peak at the inner workings of the United States of America’s foreign policy.

The piece is an appraisal of opportunities to destabilize the SARG – Syrian Arab Republic Government and begins with the sentence: “The SARG ends 2006 in a much stronger position domestically and internationally than it did 2005″.  It continues with an assessment of possible weaknesses in the Government and refers to post-Assad scenarios.

Then an honest description of the cable itself: “This cable summarizes our assessment of these vulnerabilities and suggests that there may be actions, statements, and signals that the USG can send that will improve the likelihood of such opportunities arising.  These proposals will need to be fleshed out and converted into real actions and we need to be ready to move quickly to take advantage of such opportunities.  Many of our suggestions underline using Public Diplomacy and more indirect means to send messages that influence the inner circle”.

So, before the United States of America began its subversion, there is an admission that “The country is economically stable (at least for the short term), internal opposition the regime faces is weak”. Then the cynicism of the US diplomatic mission in Damascus is shocking – references to the lack of experience of Bashar al-Assad and how “we may directly impact regime behavior where it matters”.

Regarding the Hariri investigation, the US Embassy suggests that Syria’s response is irrational in defending itself and its international standing because:

“Rationally, the regime should calculate that it can deal with any summons of  Syrian officials by refusing to turn any suspects over, or, in extreme cases by engineering ‘suicides’.”

So, therefore, next point, “Possible action” in capitals, and I quote: “PLAY ON SUNNI FEARS OF IRANIAN INFLUENCE”.

First ball out of the box? Saudi Arabia: “We should continue to encourage the Saudis and others to allow Khaddam access to their media outlets, providing him with venues for airing the SARG’s dirty laundry.  We should anticipate an overreaction by the regime that will add to its isolation and alienation from its Arab neighbors.”

And apart from that, discourage other countries to invest in Syria, particularly Foreign Direct Investment: “DISCOURAGE FDI, ESPECIALLY FROM THE GULF”.

Internally, back in 2006, the USA was already considering using the Kurds as instruments of its anti-Assad policy: “THE KURDS:  The most organized and daring political opposition and civil society groups are among the ethnic minority Kurds, concentrated in Syria’s northeast, as well as in communities in Damascus and Aleppo”. 

And now the bombshell: “Extremist elements increasingly use Syria as a base, while the SARG has taken some actions against groups stating links to Al-Qaeda”.

“Possible Actions: …Publicize Syrian efforts against extremist groups in a way that suggests weakness, signs of instability, and uncontrolled blowback.  The SARG,s argument (usually used after terror attacks in Syria) that it too is a victim of terrorism should be used against it to give greater prominence to increasing signs of instability within Syria.”

I will quote the conclusion to this document in its entirety:

“CONCLUSION:  This analysis leaves out the anti-regime Syrian Islamists because it is difficult to get an accurate picture of the threat within Syria that such groups pose. They are certainly a long-term threat.  While it alludes to the vulnerabilities that Syria faces because of its alliance with Iran, it does not elaborate fully on this topic.  The bottom line is that Bashar is entering the new year in a stronger position than he has been in several years, but those strengths also carry with them — or sometimes mask –vulnerabilities.  If we are ready to capitalize, they will offer us opportunities to disrupt his decision-making, keep him off-balance, and make him pay a premium for his mistakes.”

2006.  So, what was that about a chemical attack? Is Congress really going to ignore the sheer evil which underlies the foreign policy of the United States of America? Those voting in favour of military action are underlining the claims of those who say that instead of change, the USA needs a revolution.

Is Congress rotten to the core, or does it listen to its Constituents? Tomorrow we shall see.

Look at the photograph. Are these unarmed civilians? No, they are not…

Barack Obama: The worst President in the history of the USA - ( RU5514 )

Make no mistake: Barack Hussein Obama is preparing to give a speech to the citizens of the United States of America next Tuesday in which he is planning to justify military action against Syria, with or without a nod from Congress. If he does so, he will write his name in the darkest annals of history.

George W. Bush was the human epitome of the saying, and pardon me, “sh*t stinks” because with him, you knew what you were getting, it was raw, it was in your face, it was unsophisticated, brash, rash, harsh, arrogance, belligerence, chauvinism, it was kick-a*s diplomacy at its very worst, it was riding roughshod over the international community, it was insulting to every norm or precept of common decency… but it was undisguised. It was honest.

With Barack Obama, there is a mist of perfume which disguises the filth that lies below his policies, a cloak, a mantle of decency, a promise of “change”, mere words used, abused and manipulated by a cynical coward devoid of any emotional intelligence at all, who does not have the guts to stand up to the lobbies pulling his strings, the corporate neo-con elitists who created his Presidency. Barack Obama’s entire persona is dishonest, he is a fraud of the worst kind, a siren’s song; his policy is double-faced, double-tongued, double-dealing and plain, downright deceitful.

• Print version

Barack Obama promises one thing, he delivers another. He promises change, he receives a Nobel Peace Prize not for what he has done but for the breath of fresh air he represents and what does he do?

He supports terrorists in Libya, playing along with an Anglo-French imperialistic dream to steal Libya’s sovereign fund and pillage its resources, destroying a State which provided for its people. Then at the same time, he supports terrorists in Syria, arming and financing terrorist groups using his Middle Eastern bed-pals, Saudi Arabia and Qatar and regional monster Turkey.

It is a pea-brained, nonsensical, short-sighted and criminally reckless foreign policy, it is as illogical as it is dangerous and it is bound to rebound and blow up in Obama’s face. Detailed scientific evidence gathered by Russia backs up Moscow’s claim that it was the Syrian terrorists supported by the West which have carried out gas attacks, not Government forces.

The United States of America has not produced any evidence incriminating the Government of Bashar al-Assad in the recent chemical weapons attack in Ghouta while the finger of suspicion once against points at the terrorist forces backed by the Obama regime trying to frame the Syrian Arab Army.

However with a policy which uses deceit comes the need for intelligence and logic. What Government force is going to use chemical weapons in an area where its own troops are fighting (Obama focuses on images of children – one such image used by Kerry was taken in 2003 in Iraq – but there are other images of Syrian soldiers in hospital which he has chosen to ignore), what Government force is going to deploy chemical weaponry in an area where it is winning, what Government force is going to deploy such weaponry on the eve of a visit from UN experts?

Every time the UN has gone to Syria, the terrorists Obama backs have deployed chemical weapons.

Let us then conclude that Barack Obama is the worst President in the history of the United States of America because he has insulted not only the Nobel Institution to its core but also the international community and his own people by disregarding basic and common human values, supporting Islamist terrorists, including al-Qaeda pandering to the whims of the lobbies pulling his strings.

Any vote from Congress is meaningless in an international context because the forum of international law governing this case is the United Nations Security Council. If the United States of America does not like that, tough, then why did it sign the agreement? We now wait to see whether Congress listens to its Constituencies or whether it blows a raspberry in the faces of the American people sick and tired of their manipulation of fear and facts in their lying murderous schemes.

And this is the guy who stood for “change”? Change of what?

Wireless Internet will be launched on all lines of the Moscow metro by the middle of next year. 

By the middle of next year, all subway cars will be outfitted with constantly working Wi-Fi, officials said. Wireless Internet spots will be available inside train cars, not on the stations.

Wi-Fi currently works in train cars of the Kakhovska subway line – the shortest one that only has three stations. The Kakhovskaya line is a link between two other lines of the Moscow subway system.
