Tony Cartalucci – BREAKING: Germany’s DW Reports ISIS Supply Lines Originate in NATO’s Turkey

Germany’s international broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW) published a video report of immense implications – possibly the first national broadcaster in the West to admit that the so-called ”Islamic State” (ISIS) is supplied not by ”black market oil” or ”hostage ransoms” but billions of dollars worth of supplies carried into Syria across NATO member Turkey’s borders via hundreds of trucks a day.

Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya – Is Washington training a rebel army to “Occupy” Syria?

Is the US planning the occupation of Syria by training an unconventional insurgent invasion force?
Think regime change in Syria is off the drawing board? Think again. The bombing of the ISIL or ISIS in Syria is part of a brinkmanship campaign leading up to a potential non-conventional invasion, parallel to the re-introduction of the US military to Iraq.

The unnamed sources of the information reported to Reuters that the training was taking place near Doha, Qatar in between the border of Saudi Arabia and the American al-Udeid Air Base, the largest U.S. Air Base in the Middle East. Al-Udeid is located inside a military zone protected by Qatari special forces.

Maram Susli – What the Fake Syria Sniper Boy Video Tell Us About Media Experts

Many mainstream media websites helped a fake video go viral this month. The video showing a young Syrian boy running through sniper fire to save a little girl, was exposed as a fake when the Norwegian producer Lars Klevberg made the fact public. One of the stated aims of the Norwegian film makers was to “see how the media would respond to a fake video.” This article examines how that experiment went.

Jag skulle tro att jag länkat till den här artikeln från maj 2014 tidigare, men den är så viktig att den förtjänar att påminnas om. Den visar hur väpnade gäng var involverade redan från början av oroligheterna på våren 2011.

proletaren.se – Håller USA på att byta taktik i Syrien? USA utnyttjar IS terror och utbildar ny rebellstyrka

Är USA:s bombningar av IS i Syrien rent av början på ett samarbete? Har strategerna i Vita huset och Pentagon insett att terrorismens framväxt är ett resultat av USA:s och dess allierades tidigare agerande i regionen?
Det mesta tyder på att svaret på båda frågorna är nej.
Parallellt med bombningarna av IS fästen i nordöstra Syrien fortsätter nämligen insatserna för att få till stånd ett ”regimskifte” i Damaskus. Om inte effekterna för det syriska folket vore så fruktansvärda skulle man kunna stämpla agerandet hittills som ett patetiskt fiasko.

larouche.se – Vad jag såg i Syrien

Jag fick den 6-11 november möjlighet att delta i en delegation till Syriens huvudstad Damaskus tillsammans med Syriska Stödkommittén för demokrati. Det är en svensk organisation som drivit en opinionskampanj för att stoppa Västvärldens stormakters försök att fälla den syriska regeringen och ta över landet med hjälp av terrorister från hela världen. Föreningen har tidigare skickat sådana delegationer, men denna var den första med två med enbart svensk bakgrund och med ett brett program för att söka kontakt mellan svenska och syriska ideella organisationer, företag och myndigheter.

Shamus Cooke – A New Push for Peace in Syria?

Why are there no serious peace talks to end the war in Syria? After robbing over 130,000 people of their lives, and evicting over 9 million refugees from their homes, the Syrian war has infected nearly every region of the Middle East.
Yet among the U.S. and its regional allies there are no public discussions about a viable peace plan, only war talk.
It’s hard to talk peace when the United States is still maneuvering for war, having recently given $500 million to arm and train Syrian rebels, while also brokering a deal with Saudi Arabia to open a new Syrian rebel training camp, in addition to the one already functioning in Jordan. Instead of using Obama’s vast Middle East influence for peace he has used it to push war.

Brandon Turbeville – US: “Stop ISIS By Attacking Assad’s Oil Pipelines!”

As Maram Susli writes for New Eastern Outlook,
The trouble with this justification for destroying Syria’s oil pipelines, is that ISIS does not have the capability to use the pipelines to transfer oil. ISIS transports the stolen oil on the back of trucks, and sells it on the black market in Turkey.
