Syria’s White Helmets and Terrorists: The Jib-Al-Qubeh War Crime in Aleppo, Denied by Channel 4

By Vanessa Beeley

On November 30th 2016, the clashes for the final liberation of East Aleppo, from a five year Nusra Front-dominated occupation and brutal siege of Syrian civilians, raged across the battle-scarred landscape of the eastern districts of Aleppo. Throughout this US coalition-armed and funded extremist campaign to steal Aleppo’s resources & industry and to gradually occupy the entire second capital city of Syria, the media propaganda campaigns had run in lock-step and parallel intensity.

Islamic State Continues to Attack in Forever War

The war on terrorism is enduring. After the Barcelona massacre, the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) detained two Islamic State (IS) group members who were planning to carry out attacks in Moscow’s crowded places on September 1 - the Knowledge Day. One of the suspects said he had come to Russia “to commit jihad” ordered by IS. Earlier this month, two suspected IS-linked terrorists were arrested. They were also preparing attacks in the Russia’s capital. This war never ends.

South Korea's Greatest Fear (and It Isn't a North Korean Invasion)

South Korea's Greatest Fear (and It Isn't a North Korean Invasion)

 South Koreans are frustrated over the lack of creative solutions from
Washington and Beijing and deeply resent being used as a pawn in a
U.S.-China regional competition. U.S. strategy towards the Korean
peninsula tends to posit it as a barometer of Sino-U.S. relations.

The Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity : Always Planning Never Winning: While US Wins Some Battles, Insurgents Win the Wars

 

On
August 21 President Trump outlined his "new strategy for the 16-year
US-NATO war in Afghanistan. Strangely, his speech included the
announcement that "Our troops will fight to win. We will fight to win," which tends to beg the question — don’t armies always fight to win?


The whole might of the US-NATO military alliance couldn’t beat the
Taliban with their old AK 47 rifles and their bombs that they continue
to explode against anything or anyone they can target in order to create
fear, mayhem and realisation that the foreigners and the corrupt and
ineffective government in Kabul can’t do anything to stop them.

Trump's generals can plan, plan, and plan again, but they’re not going to win.

The Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity : US Admits Killing Civilians in Iraq, Syria; Far Understates Toll

 Don't let this shock you, but the US government is massively
under-reporting the number of civilians it is killing in Iraq and Syria.
For the month of July, the Pentagon
admitted killing "only" 61 innocent people. But according to the
respected monitoring organization AirWars, US strikes in just the first
week of July in the city of Mosul killed an estimated 300 civilians,
while hundreds were killed elsewhere, including 99 killed in a single
72-hour span in Raqqa. Who do you believe?

The Long Read: Google - Seeded By The Pentagon - TruePublica

 

By Dr Nafeez Ahmed – Insurge Intelligence: As
our governments push to increase their powers, INSURGE INTELLIGENCE can
now reveal the vast extent to which the US intelligence community is
implicated in nurturing the web platforms we know today, for the precise
purpose of utilizing the technology as a mechanism to fight a global
‘information war’ — a war to legitimize the power of the few over the
rest of us. The lynchpin of this story is the corporation that in many
ways defines the 21st century with its unobtrusive omnipresence: Google.


Google styles itself
as a friendly, funky, user-friendly tech firm that rose to prominence
through a combination of skill, luck, and genuine innovation. This is
true. But it is a mere fragment of the story. In reality, Google is a
smokescreen behind which lurks the US military-industrial complex.


The inside story of
Google’s rise, revealed here for the first time, opens a can of worms
that goes far beyond Google, unexpectedly shining a light on the
existence of a parasitical network driving the evolution of the US
national security apparatus, and profiting obscenely from its operation.

 Après la Corée du Nord et l’Afghanistan, la Russie ? Des points de
conflit internationaux se rallument, souvent à l’initiative des
États-Unis. Empêtré dans ses difficultés
intérieures, décuplées par des propos provocants, le président
américain est de plus en plus tenté de confondre solution diplomatique
et fuite en avant militaire. Dans le cas de la Russie, il est même
débordé par un parti de la guerre au sein duquel ses adversaires
politiques, les services de renseignement et les médias jouent un
rôle-clé.

It is the first of many therapies that re-engineer human cells in

been speculation lately that the EU
might remove some of the anti-Syrian sanctions that it promulgated over

It's not just Houston. Cities all around the world are experiencing unnatural rainfall and devastating floods.

"...Unabated climate change does, indeed, exact a
price. Warmer weather heats the oceans, which causes more evaporation,
which increases moisture in the atmosphere, which then falls as driving
rain. Warmer oceans also rise, partly due to thermal expansion, which in
turn threatens low-lying areas; among climate scientists, Bangladesh
has for years been the poster child of nations that are likely to face
famine, flooding and forced migration as a result of rising sea levels
