re: south Front policy diary: The use of maps was helpful. One must consider that the so-called Isis attack on the cartoon conference was the work of FBI undercover agent provocateurs. And the “traffic cop” was special forces—they knew they were coming like lambs to the slaughter. Many of the US Islamic terrorist actions have been by marginal or mentally deficient young men except of course the people who allegedly were on the planes during 9/11—they were supposedly Saudi graduate students. Remember there are forces who want to demonize Islam and so find it convenient to create these demons from time to time on the line of “one bad apple spoils the whole barrel”
I’m afraid there were no planes used in 9/11. No civil planes at all. Pentagon? Pensylvania? No planes. I doubt about the two in WTC. Let’s better forget about WTC7. And where is MH370?
Weston, I agree: no planes in 9-11. The film they showed us of the plane cutting through a steel & concrete structure without so much as a shudder & without losing any part of a wing or an engine? A cartoon! The gas tanks in the wings don’t extend out too close to the tips cuz they are too fragile to tolerate the weight of the gas. The reason they reinforce the pilot’s compartment with an extra layer of aluminum is to keep it from being damaged by bird strikes! If a plane encounters too many Gs or too much stress in the air it will come apart– without contacting anything.
I found it astounding that anyone could believe the film of that plane penetrating a tower. It wasn’t even good Hollywood.
Penelope…did you read Dr. Judy Wood’s book “Where Did the Towers Go?”…its by far the best on 9/11. Check out website of same name…and tell me what you think.
“As for the US, a stronger military alliance with Japan bodes trouble as well. Washington insists the Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea fall within the scope of its military pact with Tokyo. The absurdity of imposing a bilateral agreement on disputes involving a third party aside, the US should ask itself whether it is ready for a head-on confrontation with China over maritime disputes between Beijing and Tokyo.
Considering that Abe has invested much of his political assets in a more nationalistic and rightist Japan, he would seize every opportunity to ratchet up tensions over the Diaoyu Islands dispute, which would turn the waters into a flashpoint in the region.”
“If the Russian people managed to halt and reverse the German torrent at the doors of Moscow, they owe it to the Greek people, who delayed the German divisions long enough so that they could not bring us down to our knees.”
General Georgy Constantinovich Zhoukov
“Until now we used to say that the Greeks fight like heroes. Now we shall say, that heroes fight like Greeks.”
Winston Churchill
When the great Persian King demanded the surrender of the weapons from the Greeks at the Battle of Thermopylae, King Leonidas I of Sparta responded drily, molṑn labé (μολὼν λαβέ), meaning, having come, take them.
And although most have forgotten, when the whole world was falling into despair, the Greek people dared to defy the seemingly invincible Wehrmacht, and raised the hopes of all nations who yearned to remain free. Greece in the Second World War.
This incalculable principle of the resilience of the human spirit may find some application in any number of situations we see today in our modern world, as it has done so frequently in the past.
The Greeks may stand, and bravely fall again, and the cynics may say, ‘see we were right after all. We told you so. It is foolish to resist.’ Or it may be some other people, at some other place. But it will happen.
And at least they will have lived, and stood free, and upheld their legacy for a time when they could raise a hand. And this is something those groveling at the feet of power, making snide remarks, quietly and unheard to themselves, hoping that they will be left for last by the global predator class, may never be able to say.
And this is what frightens the petty despot and the tyrant, and makes a chill run through their heart. They never know when the people will finally have the will to stand and say, ‘enough.’
And so, in retrospect, no matter how powerful, they always seem to finally go too far, into some needless excess of power, some abuse of propriety, some excessive assertion of vain invincibility, and set into motion their own terrible decline and downfall. Think of it. Always.
So today we hear that Turkey is teaming up with the Saudis, Qatar, and the US to overthrow Assad in Syria, so that Qatar can put a pipeline through to Europe and sell Qatari natural gas.
So how is Turkey balancing that with new buddy Russia, who wants Europe to buy Russian gas?
You have a good sense of humor. The article about an alliance against Assad sounds like a parody. Wasn’t that done four years ago? And Armenia doing more business with the EU is not bad news for Russia.
It’s not obvious at first glance but Yemen is really big country, even bigger than Iraq. Population of some 20millions… So Saudis can’t think of any kind of meaningful control or even occupation of this country. They can only terrorize it. And the terror will quickly find way to their own country. They (Saudis) are in fact sitting on the bottom of deep pit – Iran’s influence in both Yemen and Iraq is growing, S-300 for Iran are deblocked, petrodollar is doomed, earnest attempt to bring Iran and Russia to their knees by artificially low price of oil failed miserably. Saudi army is big and expensive yet unprepared for prolonged assymetric war which await it in Yemen and own Saudi territory too.
The moral decay in America is completely out of control –
Last month, we learned that DEA agents were caught attending sex parties with prostitutes paid for by drug cartels. No one was fired. We also learned that the DEA agents who left a California student in a cell without food or water for five days until he was forced to drink his own urine in order to survive, were given a slap on the wrist. Finally, we heard about how TSA screeners in Denver were intentionally manipulating the naked body scanners in order to allow a particular agent to sexually molest male passengers. While the offenders were fired, no criminal charges were filed, and the TSA refuses to release their names. All of this was revealed in the last month alone.
Well, we can now add another to the list. In the latest example of abuse by the unaccountable feds, we learn that Pentagon employees have been caught using their government credit cards on gambling and escorts, amongst other things. Their punishment? A “stern warning.”

An interesting article in the China daily.

@ Peter,
Those islands belonged to China, were occupied by Japan and promised to be returned to China, after WWII, by the US.

Yes, the Yemeni tribesmen can live in their low-tech timeless way and outlast any softer enemy.
