– First published … February 19, 2020 –
One of the clearest indicators of the legitimacy or otherwise of Western military actions is the coverage that is given to it by the western media.
When evidence emerges that the given military action was at best ill-founded and more often blatantly illegal under international law, then the western media is silent as to any criticism. Alternatively, it gives undue prominence to self-serving and frequently blatant falsehoods about the actions in question.
This proposition has been amply illustrated in the past fortnight or so with evidence emerging about the circumstances surrounding the explanations given by the Organisation for the Prevention of Criminal Weapons (OPCW) as to the circumstances relating to an alleged chemical attack by Syrian government forces in the urban district of Douma on 7 April 2018.
On that date the Syrian Armed Forces were alleged to have used banned chemical weapons upon the civilian population of Douma, causing multiple deaths. The evidence to support these allegations came from terrorist groups and their supporters, including the misnamed independent group the White Helmets whose British leader James Le Mesurier recently died in unclear circumstances at home in Istanbul.
Three western nations, the United States, United Kingdom and France, immediately seized upon the allegations and a week later mounted approximately 100 air attacks upon Syrian targets in retaliation for the alleged atrocity of a week earlier.
That these attacks were themselves a gross violation of international law was a detail that appeared to elude western media reports. That such an attack occurred furthermore, before there had been even the beginnings of an investigation, let alone a report setting out the facts, was another detail that the western media overlooked.
Since then, a substantial number of relevant details have emerged, although the reporting of them again does no credit to the western media. The historical details and the relevant conclusions are set out in two detailed reports in the alternative media which people interested in determining the facts are encouraged to read.
These two reports are an editorial “More Damning Evidence of a PCW Cover-up in Syria” and an article by Aaron Mate` “New Leaks Shatter OPCW’s Attacks on Douma Whistle Blowers.”
Two reports produced by the OPCW in July 2018 and March 2019 appeared to confirm the allegations made by the western nations, in justifying their illegal bombing raids, that chemical weapons had been used by Syrian government forces.
The essence of the OPCW claim was that the Syrian government had used reactive chlorine dropped on civilians from the air. That was the version widely reported in the western media and never corrected.
The WikiLeaks organisation was the first to disclose that this essential claim was in fact false. Rather than an air attack, the gas cylinders displayed by the rebel groups as evidence of an air attack were in fact placed where they were photographed to support the allegation of Syrian government illegality.
Evidence as to what had actually happened was provided to the OPCW by their highly qualified and experienced inspectors who investigated on the scene, and produced detailed reports for OPCW headquarters.
It is one of the great scandals of this whole episode, that not only were the reports of the on the scene OPCW experts suppressed, but that a manifestly false version of their findings was used by the OPCW in its reports.
A total of three 0PCW whistle blowers have now come forward to rebut the organisation’s official findings. The evidence, released in a variety of formats, but perhaps most conclusively in evidence given to the United Nations Security Council by Ian Henderson, a highly qualified and vastly experienced long time OPCW employee.
Mr Henderson’s testimony made it abundantly clear that the OPCW had not only suppressed the evidence obtained by its on the ground experts, those experts were threatened in a variety of ways if they dared to contradict the official OPCW version.
Insight into the motives of the OPCW to publish manifestly false details can be seen in the visit to the headquarters in The Hague by three United States officials. The purpose of their visit was to implore the three experts to accept the official version that it was the Syrian government that was responsible for the chemical attack. They all refused to be a party to this manifold falsehood.
On 6 February 2020 in what Strategic Culture accurately describes as an extraordinary statement the Director-General of the OPCW (Fernando Arias) issued a statement alleging the members of his staff who investigated the alleged attack and provided unanimous conclusions that the reported attack details, were manifestly false, including but not limited to, the alleged chemicals used, and the circumstances of the deceased persons cause of death.
The Inspector General’s statement contained a number of manifestly false allegations, the details of which are set out in Mr Mate’s article. Suffice to note here that it is extraordinary that a presumably independent organisation should be a party to manifest falsehoods. Further, that the management should mount a clearly false set of allegations against highly qualified and undoubtably independent witnesses.
One of those independent witnesses, identified only as “Alex” gave an interview to the United Kingdom reporter Jonathan Steel. “Alex” told Mr Steel that “most of the Douma team felt the two reports on the incident, the interim and final reports, were scientifically impoverished, procedurally irregular and possibly fraudulent.”
The evidence that has emerged, despite the efforts of OPCW management and members of their staff, confirms “Alex’s” criticism. To the Syrian victims of this appalling story must therefore be added another victim, the OPCW itself.
This may well prove the longer term victim, that a previously respected and believed to be independent organisation, has now compromised itself in response to undoubted pressure from at least one western government.
The OPCW future as an independent investigator is thus inevitably compromised. The world is a poorer place as a consequence.

veteranstoday--2020-02-19--Erdogan Alone with ISIS Mercenaries… NATO and HTS Qaedists Refused Deals for Idlib

Anyone who wants too much nothing grabs , says an ancient proverb that seems to well describe the situation in which the turbulent dictator of Turkey ended up who seems to have been left alone : in the company of his mercenaries , former ISIS commanders , only… President Recep Tayyp Erdogan is in fact isolated in the difficult military operation in the province of Idlib , the last stronghold of the jihadists enemies of the government of Damascus , while the Syrian Arab Army continues to advance with the strategic support of Russian ’ s aerospace and land forces @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Aleppo , unleashing joyful celebrations not only in this finally free city but also in the other main city of the country .
As if Syria had won the FIFA World Cup … Both NATO and even the terrorists of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham ( HTS ) , the new faction that has absorbed the Islamic extremists of Jabhat Al Nusra , Syrian rib of Al Qaeda , have refused a collaboration agreement with the Turkish army , that has sent massive reinforcements of armored vehicles and tanks in the last province controlled @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
This was reported by some Kurdish media who follow with great attention developments in the Middle East , battered by a civil war that has lasted for 8 years and does not seem destined for a rapid conclusion precisely due to the military actions of Ankara but also of Washington , now afraid for an escalation in North Syria , very far from his seized camp oil .
Before going into a geopolitical analysis to explain the current situation of alliances and balances let ’ s see the facts starting from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ANF website regarding the attitude of HTS terrorists .
« Over the past two days , the Turkish state has held talks with the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham ( HTS ) group , led by al-Nusra .
These talks take place at a time when relations between the Sochi guarantors Russia and Turkey are extremely tense because of the situation in Idlib .
The meetings were attended by officials of the Turkish secret service MIT , the HTS and the so-called “ Free Syrian Army ” ( FSA ) .
« Discussions were held @ @ @ @ @ @ @ members into the FSA .
The Turkish state was thus planning to take the argument of “ fight against terrorism ” away from Russia and give the impression that the obligation from the Sochi agreement to divide the jihadists in Idlib into “ radicals ” and “ moderates ” would be fulfilled » ANF reported .
It would have been a brilliant move by Erdogan and Turkish intelligence who has already been able to create a multitude of factions of Sunni Islamic extremists , such as the Muslim Brotherhood who control the parliament @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the three military operations that followed in Syria : Ephrate Shield ( August 2016 , Raqqa-Deir Ezzor ) , Olive Branch ( January 2018 , Afrin ) and Peace Spring ( October 2019 , Rojava ) .
Thanks to the swirl of names and changes of “ jacket ” of the main commanders , who passed with ease from the black flag of ISIS to those of the neighboring groups of Al Qaeda in Afrin ( the only small center where the missions of Erdogan have been fully successful ) , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of terrorist formations within the so-called anti-Assad “ rebels ” in real time .
So the USA , at least until 2017 officially and after only unofficially , have been able to continue to arm and protect them … But everyone has understood this little game , from serious intelligence analysts to journalists not piloted by NATO , as unfortunately almost all those of the western big media .
According to sources that are following the diplomatic and military developments in the region , the Turkish state has proposed to HTS to dissolve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as a fourth corps .
According to the Turkish proposal , HTS commander Muhammed al-Julani , other council members and high-ranking emirs were to go to Afrin to remain there under the aegis of Turkey .
« After the two-day talks , al-Qaida and HTS rejected this proposal .
HTS issued a statement that it would not disband and would continue on its way .
According to the HTS statement , the doors are open to newcomers » ANF further wrote .
A source from the region said : “ HTS has already @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fact that it is not dissolving this time and is not adopting a different name is due to the distrust of Turkey .
ISIS leader Baghdadi has been killed while under the protection of Turkey .
It would be foolish for al-Julani and his team to trust in the protection of the Turkish state .
Al-Qaida has already accused the Al-Nusra front , i.e .
the HTS , in earlier statements of relying too much on Turkey.
” Further according Kurdisg media : « Immediately before the HTS declaration , armed groups withdrew @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the forces of the Syrian regime in control there .
The Turkish state is said to be behind the withdrawal without a fight from this area , known as the stronghold of the Muslim Brotherhood » .
This would explain why in the short span of a few days the troops of Syrian President Bashar al Assad conquered dozens of villages starting from the strategic center of Saraqib , thanks to which they then regained full control of the fundamental M5 Damascus-Aleppo highway , with the sacrifice relatively low of a hundred fallen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with caution because the Kurds , despite having expressed their intention to fight alongside Syria and Russia in the autumn and in the last days , before any call to obedience from Washington , look with suspicion on the government of Damascus who it has also not wanted to recognize Rojava as an Autonomous Administration , similar to Kurdistan in Iraq , as a prize for the defeat of ISIS made primarily by the SDF army , commanded and composed mostly of YPG Kurdish military ( People ’ s Defense Unit ) .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ named TFSA by Turkey itself which rebuilt it in 2018 after its gradual dissolution due to the defeats suffered , sent reinforcements and supports to HTS but would later withdraw them after the Qaedist formation , listed as a terrorist by UN , has refused to dissolve allowing Erdogan to save appearances before the impatient Russian President Vladimir Putin who has seen the Sochi and Astana agreements never respected by Ankara in the midst of hundreds ceasefire violations by Turkish-backed rebels .
In those agreements , in fact , was foreseen the disarmament @ @ @ @ @ @ @ army , that had supported and armed them , causing the continuation of the conflict in the last two years in Idlib with hundreds of deaths between military and civilians often used as human shields by terrorists , and the escape of extremist rebels from Syria with their entry into Turkey .
This move , however , was never implemented by Ankara , today more than ever fearful of bringing into their territory dangerous radical Islamists who are also used to betraying each other as denoted by the repeated conflicts between the various @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the first period of cohabitation in Idlib in 2018 .
This is why the diplomatic meetings that took place between Monday 17 and Tuesday 18 February in Moscow did not allow Turkey and Russia to find the minimum deal .
Also because , in the meantime , as reported by the other Kurdish media BasNews together with many other websites in the Middle East , during the last ministerial council in Brussels , NATO unofficially refused support for Erdogan despite his country being part of the Pact Atlantic .
« NATO countries will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over the death of Turkish troops in Idlib in early February » a diplomatic source from a member state told to Russian news agency Tass .
read more TURKISH TOOK PART IN SYRIA AT CHRISTIAN ’ S HOLOCAUST The diplomat further explained that the killing of several Turkish soldiers was a tragedy but that it took place during an unilateral military operation on foreign soil , which is considered to have gone beyond Article 5 of NATO ’ s founding treaty .
He also pointed out Ankara was aware of its position which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consultations on the subject .
Erdogan himself after having filtered the appeal for support to the allies of the Atlantic Pact in the media , then denied having forwarded this request .
What has changed in Syria that has led to these two fatal refusals for Turkey , first by HTS terrorists and then by NATO ?
To answer this question , it is necessary to consider that the Turkish invasion military operations in the Syrian Northeast could only occur thanks to the tacit approval of the White House , well aware that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Ankara MIT intelligence , in possession of secret documents partly revealed by the dossier of the Turkish think tank SETA in reference to the powerful TOW anti-tank missiles supplied by the CIA to the jihadist factions and ended up in the hands of even their most ferocious terrorist allies .
Secondly , because Washington needs the conflict to continue in Syria in order to justify its presence in the Euphrates Valley , aimed only at controlling oil plants to steal crude oil and sell it in contraband .
Proof of this comes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ezzor was celebrating the liberation of Aleppo , with the reopening of the international airport after eight years , and the Arab clans gathered in Hasaka to coordinate their support for Assad ’ s army , the US military moved an important military contingent of troops , armored vehicles and armaments to Hasaka .
Meanwhile , Turkish troops have resumed bombarding the Kurdish city of Manbij with intensity in an attempt to enlarge the area under control of Ankara bordering the region of Afrin , in the hands of the bloodthirsty jihadists of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kurdish pacifist Hevrin Khalaf , in order – may be – to propose it as a refuge for Idlib terrorists when , as seems imminent , they will be defeated in their stronghold .
In order to be understood , NATO and HTS ’ s refusal to Syria ’ s military plan must be seen in the context of the complete Middle East scenario where Erdogan wanted to take a dangerous “ longest leg step ” going to Libya .
Ankara has sent about 4700 dangerous jihadist mercenaries , including many international terrorists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ President Fayez Al Sarray ’ s Tripoli National Agreement Government in opposition to the advance of General Khalifa Haftar , who controls with the Lybian National Army the city of Benghazi , Cyrenaica but now also the gulf of Sirte di Misurata dive arise some of the important oil plants of which it has blocked production , creating damage that would have already exceeded the billion dollars for Noc ( National Oil Corporation ) , the national company controlled by Tripoli .
In Libya , however , NATO is split into three sections @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and has let Turkey act as in Syria , France which supports Haftar in an undeclared alliance with Russia , and the other European countries that they must save their face together with Al Sarray ’ s fragile GNA they themselves wanted and created under UN auspices .
Furthermore , just over Libya in recent days there has been yet another sharp diplomatic break between Qatar , a member of the most important shareholder ( Barclays ) of the United Kingdom ’ s world arms corporation ( Bae Systems ) and an ally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in financing of the Islamic State , and Saudi Arabia which , together with the UAE , supports the military leader of Cyrenaica .
That is why the HTS terrorists , who refer to Al Qaeda and consequently to the Saudis who created , financed and used it , in Syria and Yemen against the Shiite governments of the Alawis of Assad and the separatist Houtis of Sanaa , with each probabilities have been called to order .
Further , they refused the agreement to take refuge in Afrin , well aware that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stronghold destined to be attacked soon by the Syrian army as soon as they have released Idlib .
A release that appears even closer to the split between the HTS and the pro-Turkish rebels FSA .
At the moment the last important Turkey ’ s ally remains Qatar with his European “ colonies ” UK and Italy , as we explain in the Weapon ’ s Lobby report .
But may be difficult that Doha attempts to a new Persian Gulf for helping hist Muslim Brotherhood “ twin ” or London and Rome @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a new invading war in Syria .
So , at the moment Erdogan , despite his ongoing threats of military massive action in Idlib , can therefore only really count on a few “ loyal ” friends : the former ISIS commanders freed from prisons to command the jihadist brigades in Afrin and in occupied Rojava as in Libya .
But with the risk of a strike on the horizon : because in Syria jihadist mercenaries are paid $ 300 a month while in Libya well $ 2000 and therefore everyone would now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the Mediterranean…

Anyone who wants too much nothing grabs, says an ancient proverb that seems to well describe the situation in which the turbulent dictator of Turkey ended up who seems to have been left alone: in the company of his mercenaries, former ISIS commanders, only…
President Recep Tayyp Erdogan is in fact isolated in the difficult military operation in the province of Idlib, the last stronghold of the jihadists enemies of the government of Damascus, while the Syrian Arab Army continues to advance with the strategic support of Russian’s aerospace and land forces and has conquered all the surrounding areas in Aleppo, unleashing joyful celebrations not only in this finally free city but also in the other main city of the country.
As if Syria had won the FIFA World Cup …
Both NATO and even the terrorists of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the new faction that has absorbed the Islamic extremists of Jabhat Al Nusra, Syrian rib of Al Qaeda, have refused a collaboration agreement with the Turkish army, that has sent massive reinforcements of armored vehicles and tanks in the last province controlled by the jihadists and bordering on Turkey.
This was reported by some Kurdish media who follow with great attention developments in the Middle East, battered by a civil war that has lasted for 8 years and does not seem destined for a rapid conclusion precisely due to the military actions of Ankara but also of Washington, now afraid for an escalation in North Syria, very far from his seized camp oil.
Before going into a geopolitical analysis to explain the current situation of alliances and balances let’s see the facts starting from the most striking news reported only by the ANF website regarding the attitude of HTS terrorists.
«Over the past two days, the Turkish state has held talks with the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group, led by al-Nusra. These talks take place at a time when relations between the Sochi guarantors Russia and Turkey are extremely tense because of the situation in Idlib. The meetings were attended by officials of the Turkish secret service MIT, the HTS and the so-called “Free Syrian Army” (FSA).
Discussions were held on dissolving the HTS and integrating its members into the FSA. The Turkish state was thus planning to take the argument of “fight against terrorism” away from Russia and give the impression that the obligation from the Sochi agreement to divide the jihadists in Idlib into “radicals” and “moderates” would be fulfilled ANF reported.
It would have been a brilliant move by Erdogan and Turkish intelligence who has already been able to create a multitude of factions of Sunni Islamic extremists, such as the Muslim Brotherhood who control the parliament of Ankara through the AKP party, in the three military operations that followed in Syria: Ephrate Shield (August 2016, Raqqa-Deir Ezzor), Olive Branch (January 2018, Afrin) and Peace Spring (October 2019, Rojava).
Thanks to the swirl of names and changes of “jacket” of the main commanders, who passed with ease from the black flag of ISIS to those of the neighboring groups of Al Qaeda in Afrin (the only small center where the missions of Erdogan have been fully successful), the UN has had difficulty updating the list of terrorist formations within the so-called anti-Assad “rebels” in real-time. So the USA, at least until 2017 officially and after only unofficially, have been able to continue to arm and protect them …
But everyone has understood this little game, from serious intelligence analysts to journalists not piloted by NATO, as unfortunately almost all those of the western big media.
According to sources that are following the diplomatic and military developments in the region, the Turkish state has proposed to HTS to dissolve and join its members to the FSA as a fourth corps. According to the Turkish proposal, HTS commander Muhammed al-Julani, other council members and high-ranking emirs were to go to Afrin to remain there under the aegis of Turkey.
After the two-day talks, al-Qaida and HTS rejected this proposal. HTS issued a statement that it would not disband and would continue on its way. According to the HTS statement, the doors are open to newcomers ANF further wrote.
A source from the region said: “HTS has already changed its name several times. The fact that it is not dissolving this time and is not adopting a different name is due to the distrust of Turkey. ISIS leader Baghdadi has been killed while under the protection of Turkey. It would be foolish for al-Julani and his team to trust in the protection of the Turkish state. Al-Qaida has already accused the Al-Nusra front, i.e. the HTS, in earlier statements of relying too much on Turkey.”
Further according to Kurdish media: «Immediately before the HTS declaration, armed groups withdrew from areas in western Aleppo, leaving the forces of the Syrian regime in control there. The Turkish state is said to be behind the withdrawal without a fight from this area, known as the stronghold of the Muslim Brotherhood».
This would explain why in the short span of a few days the troops of Syrian President Bashar al Assad conquered dozens of villages starting from the strategic center of Saraqib, thanks to which they then regained full control of the fundamental M5 Damascus-Aleppo highway, with the sacrifice relatively low of a hundred fallen.
The claims are to be taken with caution because the Kurds, despite having expressed their intention to fight alongside Syria and Russia in the autumn and in the last days, before any call to obedience from Washington, look with suspicion on the government of Damascus who it has also not wanted to recognize Rojava as an Autonomous Administration, similar to Kurdistan in Iraq, as a prize for the defeat of ISIS made primarily by the SDF army, commanded and composed mostly of YPG Kurdish military (People’s Defense Unit).
Free Syrian Army (FSA), named TFSA by Turkey itself which rebuilt it in 2018 after its gradual dissolution due to the defeats suffered, sent reinforcements and supports to HTS but would later withdraw them after the Qaedist formation, listed as a terrorist by UN, has refused to dissolve allowing Erdogan to save appearances before the impatient Russian President Vladimir Putin who has seen the Sochi and Astana agreements never respected by Ankara in the midst of hundreds of ceasefire violations by Turkish-backed rebels.

Also because, in the meantime, as reported by the other Kurdish media BasNews together with many other websites in the Middle East, during the last ministerial council in Brussels, NATO unofficially refused support for Erdogan despite his country being part of the Pact Atlantic.
NATO countries will not support the invocation of Article 5 over the death of Turkish troops in Idlib in early February a diplomatic sourced from a member state told to Russian news agency Tass.
The diplomat further explained that the killing of several Turkish soldiers was a tragedy but that it took place during a unilateral military operation on foreign soil, which is considered to have gone beyond Article 5 of NATO’s founding treaty. He also pointed out Ankara was aware of its position which is why it did not initiate NATO consultations on the subject.
Erdogan himself after having filtered the appeal for support to the allies of the Atlantic Pact in the media, then denied having forwarded this request.
What has changed in Syria that has led to these two fatal refusals for Turkey, first by HTS terrorists and then by NATO?
To answer this question, it is necessary to consider that the Turkish invasion military operations in the Syrian Northeast could only occur thanks to the tacit approval of the White House, well aware that ISIS terrorists have always been managed by the Ankara MIT intelligence, in possession of secret documents partly revealed by the dossier of the Turkish think tank SETA in reference to the powerful TOW anti-tank missiles supplied by the CIA to the jihadist factions and ended up in the hands of even their most ferocious terrorist allies.
Secondly, because Washington needs the conflict to continue in Syria in order to justify its presence in the Euphrates Valley, aimed only at controlling oil plants to steal crude oil and sell it in contraband.
Proof of this comes from the fact that even as Deir Ezzor was celebrating the liberation of Aleppo, with the reopening of the international airport after eight years, and the Arab clans gathered in Hasaka to coordinate their support for Assad’s army, the US military moved an important military contingent of troops, armored vehicles, and armaments to Hasaka.
Meanwhile, Turkish troops have resumed bombarding the Kurdish city of Manbij with intensity in an attempt to enlarge the area under control of Ankara bordering the region of Afrin, in the hands of the bloodthirsty jihadists of Ahrar al Sahrqiya, assassins of the Kurdish pacifist Hevrin Khalaf, in order – maybe – to propose it as a refuge for Idlib terrorists when, as seems imminent, they will be defeated in their stronghold.
In order to be understood, NATO and HTS’s refusal to Syria’s military plan must be seen in the context of the complete Middle East scenario where Erdogan wanted to take a dangerous “longest leg step” going to Libya.
Ankara has sent about 4700 dangerous jihadist mercenaries, including many international terrorists, sought as ISIS leaders, to support President Fayez Al Sarray’s Tripoli National Agreement Government in opposition to the advance of General Khalifa Haftar, who controls with the Lybian National Army the city of Benghazi, Cyrenaica but now also the gulf of Sirte di Misurata dive arise some of the important oil plants of which it has blocked production, creating damage that would have already exceeded the billion dollars for NOC (National Oil Corporation), the national company controlled by Tripoli.
In Libya, however, NATO is split into three sections: the US which is apparently neutral and has let Turkey acts as in Syria, France which supports Haftar in an undeclared alliance with Russia, and the other European countries that they must save their face together with Al Sarray’s fragile GNA they themselves wanted and created under UN auspices.
Furthermore, just over Libya in recent days there has been yet another sharp diplomatic break between Qatar, a member of the most important shareholder (Barclays) of the United Kingdom’s world arms corporation (Bae Systems) and an ally of Turkey in the Libyan mission as in financing of the Islamic State, and Saudi Arabia which, together with the UAE, supports the military leader of Cyrenaica.
That is why the HTS terrorists, who refer to Al Qaeda and consequently to the Saudis who created, financed and used it, in Syria and Yemen against the Shiite governments of the Alawis of Assad and the separatist Houthis of Sanaa, with each probability have been called to order.
Further, they refused the agreement to take refuge in Afrin, well aware that they would end up in another jihadist stronghold destined to be attacked soon by the Syrian army as soon as they have released Idlib. A release that appears even closer to the split between the HTS and the pro-Turkish rebels FSA.
At the moment last important Turkey’s ally remains Qatar with his European “colonies” UK and Italy, as we explain in the Weapon’s Lobby report. But maybe difficult that Doha attempts to the new Persian Gulf for helping hist Muslim Brotherhood “twin” or London and Rome hazard to inflame NATO alliance for supporting a new invading war in Syria.
So, at the moment Erdogan, despite his ongoing threats of military massive action in Idlib, can therefore only really count on a few “loyal” friends: the former ISIS commanders freed from prisons to command the jihadist brigades in Afrin and in occupied Rojava as in Libya.
But with the risk of a strike on the horizon: because in Syria jihadist mercenaries are paid $ 300 a month while in Libya well $ 2000 and therefore everyone would now like to go to the other side of the Mediterranean…

Erdogan, is losing the plot, although I’m not quite sure if he had it in the first place.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Turkey announced: Turkey has decided to exempt visa requirements for some members of the European Union, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Poland as well as the United Kingdom for touristic travels to Turkey.
The step aims at increasing our tourism potential with these countries as well as further developing trade, economic and cultural relations. That’s not a bad thing, I find it commendable, but Erdogan’s latest move raises eyebrows. It’s obvious he hasn’t stopped dreaming of gaining full EU membership.

…from Press TV, Tehran
Roger Stone, President Donald Trump’s longtime friend and political adviser, has been sentenced to more than three years in prison over charges stemming from investigation into the alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election.
Stone is the sixth Trump aide convicted in a criminal case as part of special prosecutor Robert Mueller’s probe into alleged collusion between Moscow and the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.
The penalty from US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson came on Thursday over charges that include witness tampering, false statements, and obstruction of justice.
Jackson also ruled that Stone, 67, pay a $20,000 fine, serve two years of probation after his sentence, and perform 250 hours of community service.
“The defendant lied about a matter of great national and international significance. This is not campaign hijinks. This is not just Roger being Roger,” said Jackson.
Stone “was not prosecuted for standing up for the president; he was prosecuted for covering up for the president,” she added.
She also rejected Trump’s attacks on federal prosecutors for bringing the case against Stone, saying that “there was nothing unfair, phony, or disgraceful about the investigation or the prosecution.”
The federal prosecutors in Stone’s case originally recommended a sentence of seven to nine years based on federal sentencing guidelines. Trump had previously called the initial recommendation “horrible” and “unfair.”
After the ruling, the president said he would be monitoring Stone’s case closely, suggesting he may pardon his ally.

Stone lied in 2017 testimony to lawmakers on the House Intelligence Committee — which Adam Schiff leads — about acting as an intermediary between the Trump campaign and WikiLeaks, which released hacked documents that embarrassed Democratic rival Hillary Clinton during the campaign.
The longtime GOP operative was convicted in November on seven counts of lying to Congress and tampering with a witness about his efforts to learn about hacked documents.

Ten people were killed in Germany overnight by a far-Right gunman who attacked two shisha bars in the western town of Hanau before turning his gun on himself. The dead reportedly included a pregnant woman.
The shooter, a 43-year-old German national named on social media as Tobias Rathjen, left behind a 24-page manifesto which makes clear the motives behind the killings were racist. He calls for the extermination of several peoples in the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia.
Although he does not emphasize the issue of religion, most of the countries he names all have Muslim majority populations. He also shows signs of paranoia and espouses conspiracy theories.
His body was found with the murder weapon beside it when police stormed his apartment not far from the site of one of the shootings. The body of a 72-year-old woman identified as his mother was also found in the apartment.
Police believe Rathjen may have killed her before turning his gun on himself. The shootings targeted shisha bars frequented by immigrant communities in Hanau, a commuter town east of Frankfurt. Justin Huggler details how the attacks were carried out.


veteranstoday--2020-02-20--Vladimir Putin to New World Order: Traditional family still stands

Vladimir Putin will go down in history as one of the most interesting political figures .
He has the moral and intellectual ability and skills to entertain questions for hours .
In fact , he has been doing exactly that for years .
Moreover , he has the ability to destroy New World Order agents with little mental exercise .
Putin has been able to do that because he has largely appealed to the moral law to make his case .
For example , back in 2016 , he formulated an attack on the people who were actually “ denying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ called “ gender identities.
” [ 1 ] The fact that he raised the gender identity issues , which he said “ are being denied or relativized , ” is a pointed rebuke to Satanism , which basically articulates the promiscuous idea that morality should not play any role in identifying gender and that pedophilia is simply a relic of the past .
This is also a pointed rebuke to leading Satanists like Sigmund Freud and Wilhelm Reich , who postulated that sexual liberation should be pursued at any cost .
Reich meant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Revolution : “ The first precondition for the improvement of human and sexual relationships is the absolute break with those moral views which base their commandments either on allegedly supernatural arrangements or on arbitrary law or simply tradition .
The laws of morality should also be founded on the insights gained by progressive science.
” [ 2 ] Like the French encyclopedists , Reich deliberately fell into the trap that true science can really contradict morality , when in fact morality is essentially the cornerstone or the pillar upon which true scientific enterprise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only one to have deliberately fallen into that trap .
But Reich actually understood that in order for his sexual revolution to take place , morality has to be dismissed .
He put it quite bluntly that “ We do not want to see natural sexual attraction stamped as ‘ sin , ’ ‘ sensuality ’ fought as something low and beastly , and the ‘ conquering of the flesh ’ made the guiding principle of morality !
” [ 3 ] “ Sexual inhibition , ” says Reich , “ prevents the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a rational way.
” He moved on to say that “ If one succeeds in getting rid of the childhood fear of masturbation and as a result thereof genitality demands gratification , then intellectual insight and sexual gratification are wont and prevail.
” [ 4 ] What ’ s interesting about Putin is that he has indirectly attacked Satanists like Reich .
He has articulated the view that “ the moral basis and any traditional identity are being denied ” in the West .
“ There , ” he continued , “ politics @ @ @ @ @ @ @ equal to a homosexual partnership ( juridically ) .
” Then Putin dropped the political bomb , which obviously makes him a villain in the eyes of Satanists and NWO agents : “ The excesses and exaggerations of political correctness in these countries indeed leads to serious consideration for the legitimization of parties that promote the propaganda of pedophilia .
The people in many European states are actually ashamed of their religious affiliations and are indeed frightened to speak about them.
” Putin again said that if there is no morality , then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” is a logical step .
[ 5 ] “ What can be better evidence for the moral crisis of human society in the West than the loss of its reproductive function ?
And today nearly all ‘ developed ’ Western countries can not survive reproductively , not even with the help of migrants… without rules and moral values which have formed , and been developed , over millennia , people will inevitably lose their human dignity and become brutes.
” Putin continued to deconstruct the New World Order ideology this way : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of every minority to self-determination , but at the same time there can not and must not be any doubt about the rights of the majority.
” So much for the claim that Putin is against democracy and that he was seeking to persecute minority groups in Russia .
Putin obviously knows that minority groups have to be protected , but at the same time they can not impose their ideology upon the majority .
Moreover , they can not seek to subvert the moral order .
Plain and simple .
Obviously pedophiles @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Order agents will never forgive Putin because he is making those people look really bad .
If those people are pursuing a satanic ideology , says Putin , then they are on “ the path to degradation.
” [ 6 ] More recently , Putin has said that legalizing gay marriage is not an option in Russia—as long as he is president .
As the Associated Press has put it , “ He made clear he would not allow the traditional notion of mother and father to be subverted by what he called @ @ @ @ @ @ @ parent number 2.
’ “ As far as ‘ parent number 1 ’ and ‘ parent number 2 ’ goes , I ’ ve already spoken publicly about this and I ’ ll repeat it again : as long as I ’ m president this will not happen .
There will be dad and mum , ” Putin said.
” The Associated Press seems to incoherently ally gay marriage with “ liberal Western values , ” but Putin is obviously saying that liberal Western values have absolutely nothing to do with gay marriage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a hindrance to the West .
We have already witnessed how the population in much of Europe and even in Asian countries are decreasing dramatically , and gay marriage isn ’ t helping .
So , is Putin on the wrong side of history ?
I don ’ t think so .

What’s interesting about Putin is that he has indirectly attacked Satanists like Reich.

And today nearly all ‘developed’ Western countries cannot survive reproductively, not even with the help of migrants… without rules and moral values which have formed, and been developed, over millennia, people will inevitably lose their human dignity and become brutes.”

Putin obviously knows that minority groups have to be protected, but at the same time they cannot impose their ideology upon the majority. Moreover, they cannot seek to subvert the moral order.

Read the transcript below:
TB is a 22-year-old man, presenting to the emergency room with facial swelling, shortness of breath, and hives.
He tells the admitting nurse that he had had severe, right-sided, lower abdominal pain for at least the last 3 days.
You see, TB was a college student.
During his freshman year, he found out the grocery would toss out their expired food, and he could pick it from the waste bin, to eat.
He wasn’t picky. If it was edible, he took it.
The grocery would throw away a bag of apples if even just one was rotten. But to TB, the other apples were just fine.
On the internet, he read that over 1 billion tons of food every year is thrown away. Clearly, this was bad for the environment, so picking that disposed of food and eating it was doing his part. His reward for saving the earth was eating for free.
As TB became more experienced in finding his food, he became more relaxed in what qualified as edible.
Instead of tossing the rotten apples, he eventually just ate around it. If bread was moldy, cut out the bad part — it’s fine, he thought.
This got to the point where he’d pick pizza, hot dogs, and sushi from the back of the gas station, at night.

Something very cool is happening on the shores of Lake Michigan. After spitting thousands of variably-sized ice balls into Holland State Park in Michigan state last Friday, its wintry waters have served up a second scoop of frigid fun: ice volcanoes, spewing slushy water out of cone-shaped mounds of ice.
Captured in photographic form by National Weather Service meteorologist Ernie Ostuno at Michigan’s Oval Beach on Sunday, the ice volcanoes aren’t really volcanoes, per se, and have occasionally appeared around the Great Lakes before.
While true volcanoes belch up magma from Earth’s upper mantle, ice volcanoes are a temporary product of partially-frozen lakes. When local temperatures drop, large lakes sometimes end up rimmed by a thin halo of ice, blocking water en route to land. As large, strong waves, buoyed by powerful winds, continue to course toward shore, they build up pressure beneath the ice, and can eventually burst through cracks at the surface. If spray that emerges then freezes and settles back down to the surface, it may accumulate in a hump with a hole, jetting plumes of water out its top each time a new wave rolls in.

In 2017, road workers in Perth, Scotland, stumbled upon a hulking stone lying about three feet belowground. Etched with the outline of a human figure carrying a spear, the ancient carving was faint, leading experts to use high-tech methods like 3-D imaging and photogrammetry to recreate it.
Now, writing in the journal Antiquity, researchers have revealed new details about the mysterious figure—including, among other things, his “pronounced” buttocks and “robust” torso.
Known as the “Tulloch Stone” in a nod to the area where it was found, the monolith dates to the first millennium A.D., when northern and eastern Scotland were occupied by the Picts, a confederation of tribes perhaps best known for their bitter conflicts with the Romans. The Picts left behind hundreds of still-mysterious monumental stones engraved with depictions of humans and animals, as well as abstract and geometric symbols.
In the case of the Tulloch Stone, the figure depicted is clearly a warrior. His spear boasts a kite-shaped blade and what the study’s authors deem a “doorknob-style butt.”
The shape of his head is crested, which the study says “probably indicates an elaborate hairstyle rather than a helmet or other headgear.” Lines across the warrior’s ankles

Following stories of dragons, naturalist Janez Vajkard Valvasor traveled to Vrhnika, a town now in Slovenia, in 1689.

Those baby dragons were actually olm salamanders, which max out at about 12 inches long and live to be 100 years old.
Olms are a bit magical though. Lacking both pigmentation and eyesight, they are super-sensitive the feeling of light on their skin. Even more fascinating, they can sense both electric and magnetic fields. They are also pretty lazy.
According to new research published in the Journal of Zoology, one olm spent seven years without leaving its favorite spot.
“They are really good swimmers,” Eötvös Loránd University zoologist Gergely Balázs tells Science News’ Jake Buehler. Olms could “move around and try different spots to see if the neighbor is nicer, or there’s more prey… And they just don’t do it.”
