Syrians are dying for Hillary Clinton, by Uncle Vania
Lieutenant General Stephen Townsend, new commander of US forces in Iraq and Syria, made the statement on the expansion of special forces that indicates belated coalition attempts to cover their July and August failures arising as a result of “blind-bombing”. These strikes claimed lives of hundreds of civilians. That’s why now there is a strong need to use special forces for more detailed reconnaissance and precision strikes.
The reason for the haste in which the American forces attack (and continue to do it) is the desire of Barack Obama to bring military personnel to perform only political tasks. As in the case of unsuccessful capture of Raqqa, the increase of bombing has only one purpose – to show voters before the presidential election that the international coalition is better than the Russian armed forces, and Obama is still at the helm. Everything is being done for the victory of Hillary Clinton in the presidential election. It will stop as soon as she is elected (or not elected). So now Obama urgently needs any victory (and it doesn’t matter what kind of victories) in order to show the Americans that billions of taxpayer dollars are not thrown away.
However, there is no effectiveness from such haste. On the contrary, more and more innocent Syrians are being killed.
So, in August a lot of people from Gandura, Tujan al-Kubra and other settlements of es-Saur (province of al-Raqqah) and Abu Kamal (province of Deir AZ-Zaur) were seriously injured and or killed because of such “blind-bombing”. Each time about 40 – 60 people were killed, as, for example, in Gandure or Tuhan al-Kubra.
Russian aircraft are often blamed for this. Such “collateral damage” is very often hushed up. That leads not only to the impunity for the Americans but to the increase of “blind” air strikes. This also leads to an increasing number of victims among the civilian population.
Weekly aimless bombing kills several hundreds of Syrian civilians. Given this, Americans have also got hundreds of Kurdish militias and Arabs from the moderate armed opposition groups involved in a strategically self-defeating, but politically useful for Obama assault on Raqqa. It seems that U.S. wants to turn Syria into a scorched desert without any population.
Another reason for inefficiency of American aviation is wide use of intelligence information of the opposition. They intentionally mislead their allies to get square with the Shiites, Alawites and other representatives of different groups and clans that do not support the “Syrian Democratic Forces”. Hence, there is some increase in number of civilian victims, including in Aleppo and other areas of Western and North-Western parts of the country where Shi’ites and Alawites (the religious opponents of fanatical Sunnis) live. Many of the Sunnis have now left the unpopular “Islamic State”, joined the ranks of the “Democratic Forces”, and continued their “Jihad” from there.
Only the collection of facts about the crimes of American international coalition can reduce the list of victims and force foreigners to treat the Syrians with respect and not as “cannon fodder” or “collateral damage”.

Neocons call to oust or kill Putin in a WAPO op-edge.
Key Neocon Calls on US to Oust Putin.
Exclusive: A prominent neocon paymaster, whose outfit dispenses $100 million in U.S. taxpayers’ money each year, has called on America to “summon the will” to remove Russian President Putin from office, reports Robert Parry.
By Robert Parry
The neoconservative president of the U.S.-taxpayer-funded National Endowment for Democracy [NED] has called for the U.S. government to “summon the will” to engineer the overthrow of Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying that the 10-year-old murder case of a Russian journalist should be the inspiration.
Carl Gershman, who has headed NED since its founding in 1983, doesn’t cite any evidence that Putin was responsible for the death of Anna Politkovskaya but uses a full column in The Washington Post on Friday to create that impression, calling her death “a window to Vladimir Putin, the Kremlin autocrat whom Americans are looking at for the first time.”
Gershman wraps up his article by writing: “Politkovskaya saw the danger [of Putin], but she and other liberals in Russia were not strong enough to stop it. The United States has the power to contain and defeat this danger. The issue is whether we can summon the will to do so. Remembering Politkovskaya can help us rise to this challenge.”
That Gershman would so directly call for the ouster of Russia’s clearly popular president represents further proof that NED is a neocon-driven vehicle that seeks to create the political circumstances for “regime change” even when that means removing leaders who are elected by a country’s citizenry.

many good researches done on this issue.
It’s truly doesn’t matter what CIA say via its multiple proxies. Treat all these as any other info virus.
As the Russian saying goes, “they might want to topple the Russian president, kill every Russian, steal Russian gold and treasures and to divide the country, but who would let them?”
cheers
Talk about Trojan Horse, this video by Vanessa Beeley goes into a lot of detail about all the NGO’s and how they operate as spearheads for regime change and Western military intervention. She say NGO’s and terrorists are two sides of same coin, or more to the point, they are the “good cop – bad cop” that creates a propaganda atmosphere for the deep state to go into places like Syria, Libya, Palestine and Yemen, oust the local power chiefs and devastate the country for Imperialist purposes.

Advice to the Russians – “bomb” Aleppo with 1 million loaded pistols
==========================================================
(with due credit given to Star Trek)
Note: the following is only plausible if the Aleppo civilian population is largely hostile to the rebels. I frankly don’t know if this is the case, or not.
According to Staffan de Mistura, (http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2016/10/envoy-warns-east-aleppo-faces-total-destruction-161006125742882.html) there are about 900 Fateh al-Sham fighters (which “is the strongest force in the ground repelling the government [advance]”) and about 8,000 rebel fighters, over all.
The same article gives a figure of 275,000 civilians.
So, in Aleppo, civilians outnumber rebels 34:1. They outnumber Fateh al-Sham 83:1.
If all those civilians had pistols, they could arrest, shoot or confine the terrorists to hideaway locations. They could then “open the city gates”, so to speak, to Syria and allied forces, to mop up the hiders.
If the Fateh al-Sham dudes are extremely hard core, and if the rest of the rebels are not, a more plausible scenario is probably this: The civilians could kill/capture/corner enough of the total rebel population, the non-hard core rebel majority could be convinced to leave the city, fighting it out with Fateh al-Sham hard liners, if necessary.
OK, so how does Russia distribute 1,000,000 loaded pistols to the residents of Aleppo?
Inspiration can be had (perhaps ironically) from the American space program. In particular, the dropping of the Martian Rover probes, surrounded by inflated balls.
See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyktvC7w7Js
Inflatable balls are less than $1 (an assortment of 12 is $4.98, on Amazon).
The Amazon inflatable assortment has both round balls, as well as (American, oblong) footballs.
So, with duct tape, you tape a pistol onto the football. You then tape 3 or 4 other balls (say the round ones) to the football/pistol combo, and probably at least one adjacent ball.
You then take a million of these puppies, load them into Russian bombers, and bomb away! They won’t damage building (not compared to real bombs, anyway), and the terrorists would be vastly outnumbered by folks who don’t appreciate being held as hostages.
OK, one last point. I should credit Star Trek for part of this inspiration. In particular, the episode “The trouble with Tribbles”. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQ6LC-olw9Q for a visual! :-)

Very interesting. I’d never heard of it. I assume they didn’t simply use a standard issue handgun because of the cost.
Great idea, love it. Heath-Robinson would be envious of it’s simplicity and ingenuity
Love the name, tea time in Alba ? :)
Thanks. If the terrorists have chemical weapons, it might be worth distributing gas masks this way, also.
Very creative idea…. I love it.

The zionazis colonial special forces are not there to fight the terrorists, but to command and control them. The zionazis are not accidentally killing anyone in Syria, it’s very much part of their planning these “mistakes” are, both against Syrian military and civilians. At best this Uncle Vanya article is very naive about the motivations and reasons for american actions in Syria. At worst, well…
USA has a game-plan. The Syrian crisis suits their agenda on many points. They could not make it more obvious.
1. They want to end the last secular, nationalist Arab country and replace it with a new Saudi type pro Western Wahabi leadership.
2. They will plunder Syrian Oil, Gas and Minerals with contracts to western contractors. They will create many thousands of jobs for western security and engineering corporations.
3. They want to show the Islamists around the world that USA is on their side and will support Islamic uprisings and organisations like Muslim Brotherhood and White Helmets (supporting Jihadists in Myanmar, Phillipines, Thailand, Ethiopia etc). They support the idea that Human rights only apply to Rebels and those who are in Government areas basically deserve to die.
4. Support the Kurds in Syria, Turkey, Iraq and Iran. This is designed to stop Turks and Iranians getting too powerful, and completely break up Iraq and Syria as nations. Destabilise them, and keep raising ‘human rights’ issues about opression of Kurds. Runs parralell with support for Gulenists and secret societies in Turkey.
5. The wave of Refugees will help to serve USA politcal interests in Europe. Destabilises Balkans, burdens German/ Skandinavian welfare system. Provides more opportunities for “human rights” “sympathy milking” media to encourage Europeans to accept and demand that their countries let in the Refugees.
USA is doing all this. Russia has to stop them.
I was wondering about that picture…
What it implies to me, that they are sacrificing an(@least one)
aircrew(2 seater f18) for casus beli, but now, that the Russian General in charge warned about the effective no fly zone, it seems a waste of paint.
Btw, it might also be that the plane(s) pictured are in nevada, at the home of the Red Flag excercises. I have no time, but you should look into this Scott. Being wrong is not kewl. It is a possibility.

Massive US war build up floods Aldergrove airbase. Locals angry and scared but MSM cover it up.
The Obama regime is gearing up for full-scale war! And a key point in their build up is Aldergrove airbase in Northern Ireland, the first landing place for USAF planes crossing the Atlantic.
For nearly a week, residents near the Base have suffered sleepless nights as waves of war planes have come in and then headed on further east. Much of the activity is under cover of night.
Angry locals have complained and contacted the press but, apart from one mention on the local radio and Belfast Telegraph. The biggest military build up since the Cuban Missile Crisis is being kept under wraps.
Is this because of a D-Notice or do the MSM presstitutes simply censor themselves these days? Neither would surprise us!
The cause of this apparently insane push towards war is simple:
The US’ ‘tame’ Al Nusra and FSA jihadis in Aleppo face defeat and annihilation. If Aleppo is liberated, it is not just a relief for secularists, Shia communities, Christians and moderate Sunnis all over the Middle East. It will also mark the effective collapse of Washington’s neoconservative agenda in the Middle East, and at a stroke replace the USA with Russia as the most influential power (and best ally) in the whole region.
If Obama resists the hawks’ push for war now, then he will go down in history as the President who lost US hegemony in what was supposed to be only the beginning of a 100 year Anglo-Zionist Reich.
A further plus for war in the minds of these lunatics is that it would provide a backdrop either for a Clinton victory on the grounds of experience, or an excuse to postpone the election for long enough to break or assassinate Trump.
Because, make no mistake, if Aleppo is liberated and Trump wins, then the whole Washington Empire project – which started with the crushing of the Confederacy, mestasticised with the foundation of the Federal Reserve and came within an inch of world domination when it allied itself with Saudi oil money and Zionist media power – will collapse overnight.
Which would make the whole world a safer place for all the rest of us, but is an unbearable prospect for the criminal elites concerned.
Which is why children near Aldergrove are being woken every night by the scream of jets, and while millions of children may one day soon suffer and die as the destruction these criminals have already delivered through their Nazi and Wahhabi proxies in Donbass and Syria is visited on the world
“The U.S is painting their F/A-18’s to match the paint schemes of Russian jets in Syria.”
Interesting. Most of the time the colour scheme of an aircraft doesn’t matter to their opponent, since the aircraft won’t be close enough to see it. There are a few instances where it could help by sowing confusion, though.
In a tight visual range dogfight involving more than 1 vs 1. Mimicking the other side could cause them to mistake the plane for one of theirs. In dogfights, even a very short lasting confusion like that could be critical.
Another is surface to air point defense, such as manpads or Pantsir, where visual recognition could play a role. If the attacking aircraft is mistaken for a friendly, it could buy the attacker extra time which could again be critical.
The only other use I can think of would be to confuse spotters on the ground looking for, and identifying low flying aircraft.
….…….
The Russians released some more info about their S-400 & S-300 missile systems in Syria.
This is What Will Shatter the ‘Illusions of Amateurs’ Against Russia in Syria
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/20161008/1046134414/russia-s300-syria.html
“S-300, S-400 usually have three missile stockpiles. It is a lot, due to the high probability that the target will be destroyed with the first hit. Experience from brush-fire wars shows that if during a massive air strike 20 percent of the enemy aviation is destroyed with the first hit, it will stop any further military activity of the enemy,” he told Russia’s online newspaper Vzglyad.
“I highly doubt that our suggested enemies have a kamikaze (suicide pilots) squadron within their aviation units,” the Lieutenant General added.
The expert explained that any flying object is already “seen” at 600-700 km distance from the air field. As soon as it appears within range, the anti-aircraft battalions are put on combat alert. These include not only anti-aircraft missile systems, but also cannon-missile systems, similar to well-known Panrsir.
Therefore, any unidentified targets flying in the direction of Hmeymim airfield will be destroyed upon entering into the air defense engagement area.
“Our missile defense systems are capable of destroying any aerial target at any speed regardless any counter measures or jamming. The engagement area of our air defense systems is up to 400 km,” he said.
“As we know, usually the aviation of a suggested enemy prefers to carry out destructive missile saturation without entering into the air defense engagement area, to be able to open corridors by punching a hole in the aerial defense,” he explained.
“This is exactly why S-300 VM2 has been deployed in Syria,” the Lieutenant General said confirming the warnings provided by Russia’s Defense Ministry.
He also assured that Russia’s aerial group won’t wait on the air field but will disperse into the air to rebuff the attacks.”
“Interesting. Most of the time the colour scheme of an aircraft doesn’t matter to their opponent, since the aircraft won’t be close enough to see it.”
Assuming this plane isn’t being painted for wargames in Nevada, then it would be to serve in a starring role as a blurry-flying-fast-thingy “with Russian colour scheme” in a civilian bombing war-crime video.
You are right that colour scheme plays little role in a real air war.
the painted plane will be used – filmed by ‘white helmets’ killing civilians
as a false flag propaganda blitz to demonise russia even further.
all acording to ‘leaked’ audio of kerry and some syrian ‘opposition’.
kerry particularly apologetic that he had been outplayed by lavrov
and then the discussion turned to ”what can we do now?”

Belfast Telegraph report includes audio of Stephen Nolan show where locals complain of ‘big US military aircraft’ going through Alder grove for days:

“I can’t think of any benign reason”…why US military planes are landing and taking off on an almost daily basis from Belfast International Airport (Aldergrove)…the local Sinn Fein MLA speaking to “The Nolan Show…”…as linked above…
To paraphrase…we don’t want the North (of Ireland)…or anywhere else in Ireland being used as a “staging ground” for American military…
very informative radio clip…highly recommend…Irish folks aren’t exactly happy to be used as puppets for America’s dirty wars in Middle East…while taking in refugees from same…
Unbelievable…how long can US imperialist hubris continue stepping on people everywhere to keep up their world-destroying agenda…?
I found this interesting, a speech where Vanesa Beeley explain how NGOs work and their connection to governments and people like Soros but also links to Academi (Former Blackwater) through a former British officer, I ddn´t recognize his name, which I think work for MI6. As mentioned above she explains the interconnection between people – governments but also have some revelations about The White Helmets. See it for yourselves.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG6gb31VJHA&feature=youtu.be&t=1
This is James Le Mesurier that is menttioned as the founder of The White Helmets
“James Le Mesurier who specialises in outsourcing warfare – the kind of private security operations exemplified by the likes ofBlackwater (now known as Academi) and DynCorp, and other well-known global suppliers of mercenaries and CIA outreach assassination experts.
Running operations through Blackwater gave the CIA the power to have people abducted, or killed, with no one in the government being exactly responsible. ~ The Atlantic, 2012
White Helmets founder Le Mesurier, who graduated from Britain’s elite Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, is said to be an ‘ex’ British military intelligence officer involved in a number of other NATO ‘humanitarian intervention’ theatres of war, including Bosnia, Kosovo and Iraq, as well as postings in Lebanon and Palestine. He also boasts a series of high-profile posts at the UN, EU, and UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Not to mention his connections back to the infamous Blackwater (Academi).
”
Almost says it all
“Theatre” here seems to be the operative word. The West seems to have become so expert in shape-shifting (following the Israeli model no doubt), that they can now be said to truly not ‘know their ass from a hole in the ground’.
If you did listen to the end, after Vanessa finished her speak, the presentator said that there was irrefutable evidence that Israeli intelligence service created ISIS, did you hear that as well?
I did not quite hear what kind of eveidence and where to read about it
Thanks, Very Good and at least this is not a apology of Clinton, Kerry and Obama by the likes of bloggers like Webster Tarpley….
interesting video from ANNA News, yes Syrians are dying so HRC gets elected, and even if there are great powers in the SShA who would like to gobble up the whole world, there are plenty of decent people ready to sacrifice for a world that is just and free.

Key Neocon Calls on US to Oust Putin

This is a good report from Aleppo by ANNA news, showing a Russian film crew hanging out with a group of Syrian Army soldiers on the front line, and it gives a good look at the soldier’s personalities adn the grim reality of their Staliingrad-like urban battleground. Suddenly it is easy to see why it takes so long to clear a city in urban warfare.
