Miracle of the week
- Russian bombers perform flight to stratosphere
Russian Eastern Military District Sukhoi Su-34 pilot crews have performed flights to the stratosphere, the upper layer of the athmosphere, the head of the district’s press service, Alexander Gordeyev, has told TASS.
According to the official, the crews also trained night flight navigation and drilled bomb attacks against ground targets at one of the local test ranges.
The Su-34 two-seat frontline bomber is capable of operating equally efficiently day and night and in any weather conditions. The Su-34 dubbed as Fullback under NATO classification is designed to deliver missile and bomb strikes against ground objectives and destroy an enemy’s aerial targets.
Discovery of the week
As is by now well-known, the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency’s previously classified 2012 report on the origin of the Islamic insurgency against Bashar al-Assad was released to the public on 18 May 2015, and it revealed the Obama Administration’s knowledge, at least since that time, that «the Salafist [Saudi-backed fundamentalist Sunni Islamic], the Muslim Brotherhood [Qatari-backed fundamentalist Sunni Islamic] and AQI [Al Qaeda in Iraq] are the major forces driving the insurgency in Syria», and acknowledgement that «the West, Gulf countries [Saudi Arabia and Qatar mainly], and Turkey support the opposition [to Bashar al-Assad], while Russia, China, and Iran support the regime», so that the U.S. Government is, in fact, allied with Al Qaeda there, to overthrow Assad.
This pro-Al-Qaeda position was news, however, to America’s military personnel in that region.

Seymour M. Hersh on US intelligence sharing in the Syrian war
Q. Why Does Russia Need a Base on the Chukotka Peninsula?
A. Because it’s close to the US West Coast.
In August Russian Defense Ministry announced plans on creation a unified coastal defense system from the South coast of Primorye to the Arctic to solve important issues such as control of heavy rainfall zones of the Kuril Islands and the Bering Strait, to cover routes of the Pacific fleet deployment in the Russian Far East and Northen sea areas, and to improve the combat stability of naval strategic nuclear forces.
Looks like US getting ready for a major war. US Base at Diego Garcia so loaded with planes, parking them on roads!
According to information from a government contractor, the US has deployed “More planes than I have ever seen in nine years” to the Military Base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. Specifically, this contractor wrote to say:
I rotate thru Diego Garcia every 6 weeks to pull maintenance on uplink equipment as a private contractor.
Something big is going on, the island has more aircraft than any time in the last 9 years. They have blocked off some access roads and are now parking aircraft on the National Road. Barriers have been set up around the aircraft areas. Temporary barracks and hangers are popping up everywhere. A tent city full of AF and Navy maintenance personal has also been set up.
I have never seen B1s and B2s there at the same time. Actually I have never seen more than 1 there at a time. Now, there are very many.
Security is nuts I had to show my id at least 8 times a day.
My coworker is former AF and said they are like that when nukes are around.
We counted over a dozen air refueling tankers on the ground. The airfield had a takeoff or landing every 1 minute, very busy. When we flew out we waited in line for quite a while. We never had to wait in the past.
The Navy had the docks full of ships and 6 to 8 more were moored just off shore. We watched many pallets of bombs being off loaded from one ship.
There were a bunch of B-52’s coming in that were painted flat black. I have’t seen that before.”

ALEPPO, SYRIA (7:17 P.M.) – After a series of significant advances in the northern sector of the rebel-held east Aleppo districts reaching the perimeters of the Haydariyah Youth Housing Complex north of Hnano district.
A military source exclusive to Al-Masdar News revealed that the advances were launched from government-held positions in the Breij Hills capturing the rest of the sawmills, Majbal, Kassarat, and the Agricultural College which lies inside the Inzarat district.
The advances breached a 1 km front of jihadist defenses with a depth exceeding 1 km killing a confirmed 42 insurgents while injuring over 30 in sporadic clashes across the embattled city.

In 2008 Sarkozy told to Bashar al-Assad : “We will burn your country to the ground”
EXCLU – Sarkozy à Assad : « On va mettre la Syrie à feu et à sang ! » (Rochedy)
[I have heard this story of a “pipeline” as a reason for NATO war on Syria many times, and I don’t believe it at all. The real reason is to have a US controlled territory for attack on Russia. Just one look at the map and you can see that they could build this pipeline by bypassing Syria. The real reason for this war is to divide Syria into parts, to divide Turkey into parts and to divide Iraq to establish the US controlled fake state of the “Kurdistan.” This would let the US to create a sea accessible land corridor toward Russia. Also, bombing the Arab nations into dust to de-populate those territories and to guarantee that they will never never resist Israel and US control over the region.
Plus, recently some “experts” in Israel started distribution of claims that Kurds are a “lost tribe of Israel” and that all it takes is just a gentle nudge to lead them to embrace their historical heritage. Scott]
Iran’s Tasnim News has reported that a high-level Turkish political delegation will meet with Syrian President Assad.
The report claims that the Turkish delegation will be led by a cabinet minister that will soon travel to Syria.
This would be a breakthrough in contemporary Syria-Turkey relations considering Turkish President Erdogan has been adamant, even in recent times, that Assad must not rule at all costs.

“No need to get hysterical, Sergent, I’ve already activated Plan B: hide all planes in Diego Garcia.”

Russian Reporters in West Work Under Local Gov’ts Pressure
https://sputniknews.com/politics/201610151046375798-russian-reporters-west-pressure/
“On October 10, the European Parliament voted in favor of a resolution on disinformation promoted by some countries and non-state actors, implicating RT and Sputnik in these activities.
“Our journalists have been working under tremendous pressure from the day one. We work with many foreigners since we broadcast in several languages, and they are being summoned to the embassies, questioned, threatened, exerted pressure on, deported, arrested, detained. This has began a long time ago, it goes on and will keep going. This is the job and when people get down to this job they realize what to expect. The journalists are used to it. We will keep up working if got deported we would come back,” Simonyan said answering the question how journalists would work following the resolution.”
The zio-gay media mind warp only works if the prisoners of it have no other sources of information. The zionazis are making sure their colonies don’t get any choice but the zio-gay media.
Those countries need to be informed that the same restrictions they have on Russian reporters will be the restrictions for Western reporters inside Russia. Just as with the Western sanctions,and Russian counter-sanctions. Equality in all measures.
With regard to the press conference spectacle — shown briefly in the MH17 clip — starring the fabulous JIT (preferably “Just Imperialist Trash”), the question becomes:
What is the most conspicuously retarded aspect of these propagandistic non-events?
Is it the gathering itself of a bunch of paid, congenital liars, or is it the notion this gentry would accidentally speak the truth or, thirdly, even if they did, that their pompous outrage would be the slightest sincere? However that may be, it is those who actuallly believe in this kind of rigged “investigations” who need their heads examined.
“No loyal American worth his salt would ever question the basic goodness of dropping bombs on foreigners. Any foreigners (the darker the better), any time, any kind of bombs (the bigger the better), no valid reason required.”
Exactly. And get duly corroborated by a Nobel Peace Prize if politically responsible for these policies.
Nothing to worry about according to ex-Al Jazeera English head, Tony Burman -Putin and Russia are weak :
“Putin may strut, may preen and may bluster — and, like the KGB operative he once was, he is skilled at manipulating the optics of a situation. But like Trump, his comrade-in-arms in the U.S., Putin is a phoney. When all is said and done, he doesn’t have the economic or military firepower to deliver on his threats”
Only 7300 nuclear weapons. Just a trifling amount of firepower, what!
In fairness in evaluating this otherwise shabby tabloid fare, a grain of truth emerges:
“They are using the Russian threat, exaggerated as it is, as a pretext for challenging Russia in its own backyard. That’s a recipe for disaster.”
https://www.thestar.com/news/world/2016/10/15/russia-america-and-the-case-for-war-burman.html
“Putin is a phoney. When all is said and done, he doesn’t have the economic or military firepower to deliver on his threats”
Great. Just shows that highly effective, intelligent, and courageous people such as Putin don’t evoke any admiration among Certified Human Garbage like our beloved Zionazi presstitutes — how sad. The piece quoted above gets quite funny at the end where it sets out to underline the worrying current state of world affairs:
“After all, Putin is said to loathe Clinton even more than Barack Obama. How promising is that?”
Well, if you ask me that sounds very promising indeed! Let the harridan show her exceptional and indispensable credentials before Putin-the-phoney. And let the Ziomedia try to spin it accordingly.
1919? 2019 I think!
The tension just keeps on mounting…now North Korea? Who put them up to it?

Some NORKS got caught poaching. Big deal..
Happens often, this is not the first time, even Chinese patrol boats have come under fire from Russian navy and Chinese fishermen were seized and held hostage by North Kirean warlords for months in 2014-2015. It is bizarre, but true. There are scores of videos of Russian vessels firing on North Korean fishing boats and even on Chinese boats in Sea of Japan and inside Rissuan territorial waters)Kamchatka peninsula on YouTube (go check). it seems there is very strange division of power in East Asian nations (a type of industry sector warkordism, in particular with fishing industry).
they gonna bomb yemen , alrdy set cause claiming us ships under attack
Yes,you are right. The Saudis are having a hard time dealing with the missiles of the Houthi. So the US, under the cover of “self-protection” will bomb them for the Saudis.There is no vile deed the US won’t commit to assure their power is kept.That must always be realized. And retaliation even harder inflicted on them to bring them to understand their days as the World’s master are ending.Throughout all history it has been that way. Our time today is not any different or “exceptional”.
Snowden ridicules Joe Biden’s cyberthreats against Russia
https://www.rt.com/usa/362911-snowden-biden-cyber-threat/
“Speaking to the host of NBC’s “Meet the Press” earlier this week, Biden said that “at the time of our choosing, and under the circumstances that will have the greatest impact,” Washington would exact revenge against Moscow for its alleged interference with the upcoming US elections.
Such revelations about the kind of operation that is conventionally kept secret prompted the former NSA contractor to suggest that the top US official simply doesn’t know how such things work. “I get the feeling nobody told VP Joe Biden what “covert operation” means,” Snowden tweeted.
This week, NBC News released a report suggesting that the CIA is planning a “clandestine” cyberattack on Russia, to “embarrass” its leadership for its alleged efforts to influence the US elections against Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
Such warnings about a “wide-ranging operation” in reference to reports from US officials have been also ridiculed by WikiLeaks.
If the US “clandestine” pending cyberwar on Russia was serious:
1) it would not have been announced
2) it would be the NSA and not the CIA
— WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) October 15, 2016
Despite the absurdity of such threats, Russia will take “precautionary measures,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said, adding that what’s worrying is that such “unprecedented” threats are “being announced at the level of the US Vice President.”
The u.s. regime provides a good lesson for everyone about the consequences of putting drama queens in charge.

Putin on Biden cyberthreat: First time US admits such thing on highest level
https://www.rt.com/news/362936-putin-brics-press-conference/
“The only novelty is that for the first time, on the highest level, the United States has admitted involvement in these activities, and to some extent threatened [us] – which of course does not meet the standards of international communication,” the Russian leader said.
“Apparently, they are nervous,” he added.
“One can expect just about anything from our American friends. After all, what did he (Biden) say that we didn’t already know? Didn’t we know that US authorities are spying and eavesdropping on everyone?”
These activities are “well known to everyone, it’s no secret,” Putin added.
“There are many problems [in the US], and in these circumstances, many choose to resort to the tried and tested system of diverting voters’ attention from their own problems. That’s what we are currently witnessing, I think.”
One can distract attention from domestic problems by creating an enemy, in order “to unite the nation in the fight against this enemy.”
“Portraying Iran and the Iranian nuclear threat as an enemy didn’t work. [Portraying] Russia [as an enemy] seems more interesting. In my opinion, this particular card is now being actively played,” Putin said.
“Too bad that based on the current [US] internal political problems, Russia-US relations are being sacrificed. This actually destroys international relations in general,” Putin noted.
“We do not know what will happen after the US elections, but welcome everyone who wants to work with us,” he said.
“Analyze all previous election campaigns [in the US] – it all repeats over and over again, like I’ve said. And then we have people whispering to us, ‘Oh, wait, wait, it’ll be over soon, things will go back to normal,’” Putin said.
“It’s not even funny anymore. But if someone wants a confrontation – this is not our choice, and it means that there will be some problems. We don’t want that. We would like, on the contrary, to seek common ground and work together to solve global problems faced by both Russia and the United States, along with the whole world,” Putin concluded.
“You think our relations with the United States changed because of Syria? No, not because of Syria, but because of attempts of one side to impose its decisions on the whole world.”

“The US official institutions are “snooping and eavesdropping on everyone,” Putin said at the beginning of the press conference while commenting on US Vice President Joe Biden’s statement on the possibility of cyberattacks against Russia.
He then warned the Russian journalists accompanying him at the summit that they are all of particular interest to the US National Security Agency (NSA).
“You are all objects of inquiries by the respective [intelligence] services,” Putin said.
“You are the bearers of certain information. You can see something, hear [something], talk to someone.” All of that is being “systemized, put together and analyzed – this is what the NSA is doing,” Putin noted.
The President was answering a question on WikiLeaks allegations that Brazil’s current leader Michel Temer was recruited by US intelligence.
As Putin was answering, the room experienced a brief power outage, with the President’s microphone switching off.
“I said something wrong apparently,” Putin joked, with the journalists present bursting into laughter.
The Russian leader noted that he “is not aware” of whether Temer was indeed recruited by US intelligence services and that “he is not interested” in the issue.”
Re: Extreme US Military deployment reported in Diego Garcia in Indian Ocean
from superstation95: buyer beware
If Diego Garcia is being loaded will aircraft and supplies, where would they go? Syria? Elsewhere?
“where would they go?”
Diego Garcia is quite a ways from the Mideast and the South China Sea. The sort of aircraft that would have the range to attack from there are long range bombers like the B-2 and B-52. The base could be used as a refueling and depot for smaller aircraft being ferried from there to other bases closer to those regions.
Yes, that’s what I wondering about. It seems far from the ME. Part of the supply chain, though.
At the same time the situation in Yemen is heating up, and I see you just posted a link on that conflict too. The attacks against the USS Mason have been ineffective thus far, but that could set the stage for a bigger attack that then gets blamed on a Russian or Chinese-built anti-ship missile.
The Diego Garcia base is extremely important to the US. Which is way it is so secret and mostly off limits.Its location allows the US broadly, to control, the sea lanes of the Indian Ocean. Its the “backdoor” to the Middle East region and allows for control of East Africa as well.In serves as a supply,and reinforcement base for the US to interfere in the area. In case of a war,naval ships based there would be able to poach on any oil shipments going from the Middle East ,to China and East Asia.Some people think the Malacca straits are the choke point for China’s oil supply. I see it as two-pronged. Getting the tankers as they go out through the Indian Ocean is much simpler and far out of range of China’s military reach. With any that escaped being stopped at the Malacca Strait.Diego Garcia would serve the US during wartime in the same way the French Mascarene Islands served France during the Napoleonic Wars.The US realized the importance of a base in that area many years ago.Which is way,while trying to keep it “low key”, they went to such lengths to acquire the base. Even to expelling all the native peoples from the islands.

The bottle rockets fired at the mason by pindo special forces does not seem an adequate pretext for full scale war on Yemen, more like building up the propaganda theme for a much larger false flag to attack much more than Yemen.
US Involved in Yemen ‘Since First Month of Fighting’, Claims Human Rights Watch
https://sputniknews.com/world/201610161046390660-united-states-yemen-conflict/
“Even though what has happened in the last couple of days is certainly an escalation [of the Yemeni conflict], the United States was involved in this conflict for many months,” Kristine Beckerle told Sputnik.
“It’s an escalation, but it’s not a fundamental change in the standoff, which has already claimed the lives of more than 4,000 civilians,” she said.
In this vein, Human Rights Watch looks into “the United States being party to the Yemeni conflict since the first month of fighting given the level of support Washington has been providing to the Saudi-led coalition”, Beckerle said.
Earlier, Reuters reported that Washington was worried that its arms sale to Saudi Arabia and support for Riyadh’s actions in Yemen would make it liable to be tried for possible war crimes committed during the conflict.”
Keep in mind this is hrw, a zio-western org designed to co-opt legit human rights issues in zpc/nwo interests.
The americans and nato are already still heavily directly involved in Iraq and Afghanistan. Heavily indirectly involved in Syria and probably a lot more involved in Yemen than is realised. I believe the plan is to increase the chaos in both Syria and Yemen and get this done before the end of the year. Isolating Iran being the main motivator for this zpc/nwo aggression. With greater israel and destabilising central Asia to weaken Russia, China and India being longer term goals.

http://sppiblog.org/news/the-north-west-passage-has-been-open-more-often-than-you-think#more-18195
A kind reader has sent us the following historical update on the history of the North-West Passage –
Regarding the North-West Passage, since the 1942 expedition by Henry Larsen the passage has been navigated on a number of occasions, several times by unaided yachts without icebreaker assistance. This is in contrast with sensationalist news in 2007 that the passage had been open “for the first time in history.”
In 1977 the Belgian sailor Willy de Roos and his steel ketch Willywaw became the third yacht to go through, largely single-handed.
By 2003, only 20 yachts had ever completed the North-West Passage. Of these 14 made it through in one season, and fewer than 10 (including Norwegian Blue), without ice breaker assistance.
The first and until now, only British yacht to have completed the Passage was Rick Thomas’ Northanger. He sailed her East to West, wintering in Inuvik in 1988. He was closely followed by David Scott Cowper in his converted British lifeboat Mabel E Holland. It took David 4 seasons to complete his transit, having suffered three consecutive bad ice years.
On 18 July 2003, Richard & Andrew Wood, father and son, with Zoe Birchenough sailed Norwegian Blue into the Bering Strait which marks the entrance to the North-West Passage. Exactly two months later, in what proved to be a very difficult ice year and without ice breaker assistance, she sailed into the Davis Strait to become the first British yacht to transit the Northwest Passage from West to East. She also became the only British vessel to have completed the North-West Passage in one season.
The Norwegian Blue crew were happy to have spent the last few weeks of their time on ice in the company of Eric Brossier’s Vagabond and his fantastic crew. Of a record seven attempts at the North-West Passage in 2003, Vagabond & Norwegian Blue were the only two yachts to successfully complete their transit. Both were fortunate enough to have been in the right place for the one day of the year the ice opened in Larsen Sound & Franklin Strait, traditionally the most difficult part of the North-West Passage.
On 10 October 2003, having set out from New Zealand only five months earlier, Zoe & Andrew sailed Norwegian Blue into St Mary’s Harbour in the Isles of Scilly, having covered over half the globe via one of the world’s most challenging and difficult sea routes – the North-West Passage.
Here, as in many other areas of “global warming” propaganda, a little straightforward history such as that which our kind reader has sent us is enough to set the record straight and nail the lie.
Thank you veru much for that link.

Guy McPherson Summary
Marcos DM shared Associação Preserve Amazônia’s post.
October 11 at 7:01pm
IN FACT, WE ARE ALL SKATING ON A VERY THIN ICE
Six questions to climatologist Guy Guy McPherson, by Preserve Amazonia
PA – The sea ice in the Arctic is melting fast. This year has been the second lowest volume of ice in the region since satellite measurements began. In your opinion, how long should occur the total melting of the polar ice cap in summer?
GM – An analysis completed by the U. S. Naval Postgraduate School several years ago predicted an ice-free Arctic in 2016, plus or minus three years. I expect such an event no later than September 2019.
2 – Taking into consideration the size of the planet, the problem level and climate inertia, do you believe still be possible for man to do something to reverse the trend of total melting in the Arctic? If so, you would like to mention one or more measures?
GM – Climate change is irreversible. Too many irreversible, self-reinforcing feedback loops have been triggered to turn the situation around.
3 – Do you believe that the total melting of the polar ice cap in the Arctic has the potential to cause an abrupt climate change? If so, in your opinion what kind of climate scenario we can expect from total melting?
GM – According to field researchers Natalia Shakhova and colleagues, presenting at the 2008 annual meeting of the European Geophysical Union, we can expect an abrupt 50-Gt burst of methane from the Arctic at any time. I suspect an ice-free Arctic greatly increases the potential for such an event, along with the attendant 1.3 C rise in global temperature.
This will be sufficient to cause the abrupt collapse of civilization due to the inability to grow grains at scale. Absence of global dimming will add an additional ~3 C rise in temperature. Thus Earth’s temperature will rise to more than 4.5 C above the 1750 baseline within about a year after the Arctic is free of ice.
I doubt humans survive such an event beyond a few years because we depend upon many other species for our own survival.
4 – This week we observe on the planet at least two major hurricanes that ravage countries and make victims both in the West and in the East. Moreover, diverse and giant wind vortices were formed around the north and south poles. These phenomena near the poles can be considered normal? or are outside of the global atmospheric circulation patterns?
GM – We are observing unprecedented conditions on Earth. These conditions will continue until habitat for all humans disappears. Giant hurricanes and wind vortices are among many planetary phenomenon resulting from abrupt climate change.
5 – In the movie “The Day After Tomorrow” is pictured a quick cooling stage and the beginning of a new ice age, due to changes in climate and sea currents. Do You understand that this possibility may be real? If so, what could cause this?
GM – Abrupt cooling of the northern Atlantic is a possibility. Abrupt warming of the entire planet seems more likely to me.
6 – Would you like to leave a final message for the readers?
Gm – Remain calm: Nothing is under control.
Please pursue excellence, even though the culture promotes mediocrity.
Do what you love. Love what you do.
Live here now.
Preserve Amazônia thanks a lot Professor Guy McPherson for the interview.
Donbass Militia Spots Mercs From US, Canada, Baltics, Poland in East Ukraine
https://sputniknews.com/europe/201610161046389363-donbass-reconaissance-foreign-mercenaries/
“According to information received from human intelligence sources in settlements near the line of contact, several hundred mercenaries from the United States, Canada, the Baltic countries and Poland have arrived in the area, armed with small arms and equipment,” Anaschenko said at a briefing, quoted by Russia’s RIA Novosti news agency.
According to LPR Militia, three camps have been created in the Ukrainian-controlled settlements of Bobrovskoye and Bobrovo, near Severodonetsk. There, foreign instructors are said to be training Ukrainian army personnel in reconnaissance, as well as urban combat.
“We have also recorded the presence of training camps in the village of Schastye [on the contact line] where American and Polish instructors teach sharpshooters and sabotage and reconnaissance groups for their further actions on the territory of the LPR,” Anaschenko added.
The officer also said that the settlement of Polovinkino in Starobelsk district has seen the arrival of about 150 foreign mercenaries in off-road vehicles, BMPs and BTRs, armed with US-made assault rifles. According to LPR intelligence sources, foreign mercenaries armed with NATO-standard small arms have also been spotted in the village of Trehizbenka in the Slavyanoserbsk district.
“These facts again confirm that the oligarchic Kiev authorities have no intention of conducting peaceful dialogue to resolve the situation in the Donbass, but rather will use any opportunity to destabilize it, thus trying to divert Ukrainians’ attention from numerous domestic problems,” Anaschenko concluded.
Late last month, observers from the OSCE’s Special Monitoring Mission confirmed spotting Georgian mercenaries on the contact line in Lugansk. The mercenaries were reported to be openly wearing ‘Georgian Legion’ insignia, and speaking Georgian. Three residents of the village of Troitske confirmed that the Georgians had taken up residence in houses in the village.”
The March in ukraine has so many young people – what type of future can ukraine expect with this sort of person?
The women marching too!
Anyone with any skills and talent will leave and they will be left with these thugs
They will need to be reeducated and those not able to be reeducated sent to internal exile.Allowing them to flee to the West only allows them to gather and plot like they did during the Cold War years. Had Stalin fixed the problem fully after the war we wouldn’t have the problem with us today. That mistake can’t be permitted to happen again.
i have a question I’d very much like an answer to,
Yesterday Press TV carried a report saying US jets had bombed a Syrian town killing 5 Syrian people.
There seems to have been no air defence. I had been under the impression that Syria now had air defences.
Indeed last week the news sites were proclaiming that it was understood that any attacking planes would be shot down.
A commenter on Press TV said only the Russian bases are defended.
If yesterdays US attack was a test run they will have learned that Syrian airspace is in fact undefended and that therefore they can now plan massive air raids on Syria unchallenged.
What exactly is the status of Syria’s air defences and why was no interception carried out yesterday?
I’d be gratefull for an answer from someone knowledgeable on this.
Its all a lie
Good little Kiwi vassal John Key following the USA script. I wonder what 5 eyes has on him to keep repeating lies about Assad and chemical weapons?

Killing of DPR’s Military Leader by Ukrainian Forces Is Declaration of War
https://sputniknews.com/politics/201610171046396108-dpr-leader-killing/
“Murder of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic military chief Arseny Pavlov known as Motorola allegedly committed by Ukrainian security forces is a violation of ceasefire in the eastern region of Donbass and a declaration of war, DPR head Alexander Zakharchenko said.
On Sunday, Pavlov’s death was confirmed by the DPR’s Defense Ministry as well as Ukrainian security forces. He is said to have been killed in a dwelling house but further details remain unknown.
“As I understand, [Ukrainian President] Petro Poroshenko violated the ceasefire and declared us a war,” Zakharchenko told journalists late Sunday.
Pavlov headed the DPR Sparta Battalion that took part in a number of battles during the military conflict in Donbas.”
They said it was an IED attached to the rope of the elevator in his home. I wonder though, did no one notice any strange people lurking around his house? Did he not have any guards or security system? Even a dog or dogs might have helped.
The Diego Garcia hoax came from a thread on godlike productions conspiracy forum. It’s total BS. C’mon man.
The forum awaits the author’s return to finish this post. Rebuttals are almost always more interesting when supported with citations, quotations, links or other evidence. I neither agree, nor disagree with you. Assuming that you might be onto something important, I invite you to elaborate.
The SITREP by Baaz on Diego Garcia says it was anonymous and doesn’t give a date or any reference. I can’t find any reference to who Baaz is. Does anybody know?
Trying to pick-up your brain to connect dots. Overwhelming circumstantial evidence shows that there must be a connection, but the goals remain elusive and too often, we have to resort to hypothesize changing tactics and shifting alliances to “explain” the apparent contradictions in the World’s affairs.
And yet, one cannot believe it would make sense to consider that Neocons, NWO, NED, Empire, Anglo-zionists etc… planners have not plotted a course to something. There is a quest. Sure execution of these plans can fail, need changes and reschedules, things evolved etc… but there is a blueprint. And a very down to earth, not an Illuminati metaphysical one.
As with any type of complex problem, we should be able to break it down into sub-issues and use available confirmed and solid data to solve some sections of the puzzle. It might not give us the master plan but it can narrow down the list of objectives. Here is the first piece of the puzzle that we should now be able to solve:
Terrorism is a covert and usually cheaper way to coerce a country, region or some high profile politicians into doing something or refraining from doing something. It is like a pretty loud way of delivering a message.
While spontaneous popup terror acts can always happen (The poorly named “lone” wolf theory), once several attacks occur and bear the hallmark of a coordinated approach, we can safely assume that:
1. There is a masterplan
2. There is a funding entity
3. Money is the enabling factor
4. Idelology is the veneer
5. There are always logistical relays
Normal police work shows within weeks evidence of points 2, 3 and 4. But point 1 and 2? It takes years, sometimes decades to reach the point of origin.
We know that ISIS/ISIL/DAECH etc… is primarily funded by KSA and QR. We also know that western powers did the groundwork for these groups to thrive and prosper by destroying Iraq, Libya and Syria.
Now, how can we connect the dots with the terrorist campaign (not isolated attacks) in France, Belgium, Turkey, USA?, e.g. What were they coerced into/prohibited to ? Let’s remove Turkey and USA from the equation system as they present far too many variables.
France was once the colonial power in Syria and other places in the M-E and has been playing a significant role in oil exploration and exploitation. Military presence of France outside its territories has been limited both in scope and size: Nowhere near Iraq, covert in Syria, sustained in Mali, obvious in Libya. They also have recurring operations in Africa (election years).
Belgium hosts NATO and most of the EU institutions but on a grand scheme of things represents very little in the M-E.
The terror attacks in France were broadly targeting Cultural, art of living things: Magazine, Grocery, Concert, Stadium, Restaurants, FireWorks. Belgium attacks were on transportation: Subway, Airport.
Police work shows that all these attacks were highly coordinated, planned and executed by people whose IQ was too low to matter. The lone Wolves returning from M-E theatre of operations theories does not pass muster: Not substantiated by facts and statistically too little attacks for the number of people actually back from Syria and Iraq.
More importantly, they stopped.
Hence, these two countries cave in, somehow. What was possibly so important to get Belgium and France doing or not doing? And who was the requestor?

The terror attacks on France and Belgium were conducted to force them to abstain during the UNESCO voting on a status of the Old City of Jerusalem

Prior to these terror attacks France was taking pro-Palestinian position in this issue.
In the Israeli social media, at least in the part that speaks Russian language, the prevailing sentiment was to burn Europe down. The same anti-European sentiments were expressed by the Israeli religious leaders. Last year twitter was full of images of the European cities with nuclear mushrooms over them being spread by Israeli info-bots.
Europe has also gone against Israel over mislabelling of goods made in the West Bank as Israeli origin to benefit from tax subsidies. Also they have condemned Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory.
There is no wonder Zionists are keen to destroy it.
He comes from the South.
We are on the very verge of one of the greatest feats of “hypocrisy” we will ever see. So we need to be aware of it coming. For months the Western hyena press has been whining and crying about the liberation of Aleppo. Accusing, at the top of their lungs,Syria and Russia of “war crimes” and bemoaning the suffering of the population in the city (a population I might add,that is suffering because of the terrorists and their Western friends holding them hostage).But next door in Iraq,these same Western terrorist lovers are going to be joining with the Iraqi military in a siege and full scale attack on Mosul.A city of over a million people,bombing,and shelling their way to its liberation.The Red Cross and Red Crescent,has warned of a massive humanitarian disaster with a possible million refugees.It will be starting today, (the Iraqis announced the start of the offensive a short while ago) that we will see all the type of things done by the West and the Iraqis,(and probably more) that they crucify in the press Russia and Syria for. And I can almost guarantee,we won’t see the “avalanche” of press condemnation fall on the West and Iraq over it. Hypocrisy,on an unheard of scale is about to fall on us.
Pamela Anderson ‘Tortured’ WikiLeaks’ Assange With Vegan Meal
https://sputniknews.com/europe/201610171046397592-pamela-anderson-brings-assange-food/
The former Baywatch star expressed concern about WikiLeaks editor Julian Assange after visiting him at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London on Saturday.
“I really believe in him and think he’s a good person, and I’m concerned about his health, his family, and I just hope that by some miracle he’s set free,” Anderson said.
Earlier this month, Assange admitted he was “a bit pale” after living for four years without sunlight.
Anderson brought Assange “a nice vegan lunch and some vegan snacks,” she said.
“He said I tortured him with bringing him vegan food,” she joked.”
The americans will go to any length to torture the poor man…
Joking aside, I hadn’t been aware of PA’s views of Assange and Wikileaks, or of veganism, either. That was a cool thing she did there.
Uh oh

Is this the eve of World War III?
http://www.infowars.com/emergency-war-declared-on-russia-by-soros-controlled-us/
There are many strong indications of impending war.
One ‘inside source’ told Alex Jones recently the US will never go to war against Russia as the officers in the Pentagon get on quite well with Russia and are even covertly supplying information re rebel positions and logistics in Syria.
The Spec Ops in Syria are mercenaries and CIA run by the neocons and the patriots in the Pentagon know full well who is who and will act when it is appropriate, especially if Hellery steals the election.
Meanwhile the neocons push for war talk in the hope it will help Hellery get enough votes to be able to steal the election off Trump (elections can only be stolen if the results are relatively close). We have to hope they will not ‘burn it all down’ rather than lose by triggering a bigger war.
Personally, I expect a false flag event in Syria (possibly using those conveniently painted F18s in RAF colours). Said false flag will be designed to give USAF the excuse to attack SAA and hopefully (for Clinton) result in Russia genuinely shooting down some stealth bombers or similar. This will push more dumbed down voters to vote demoncrat (history shows the electorate always votes for status quo when at war) and allow the election to be stolen.
If it still cannot be stolen because of a Trump landslide they will simply declare Russia hacked the voting machines and declare the results null and void.
