Russia Steps Up in Syria – Sends Warships to the Mediterranean and Advanced Air Defense Systems to Assad

by Scott Creighton

Israeli attack on Syria and our escalating warmongering rhetoric backfires, bringing Russia into the game in a big way.

It’s being reported by several news organizations that Russia under Vladimir Putin has suddenly stepped up to the plate with regard to aiding the Syrian government and their people in the ongoing U.S./Israeli/Qatar terrorist destabilization campaign.

Several notable and highly visible steps have been taken by Russia in the past few days which make it perfectly clear in the wake of Israel’s illegal bombing of Syria and Putin’s meeting with “Nuclear Duck” Netanyahu that Russia is not going to stand by and do nothing while our contractors and the IDF kill innocent people in Syria.

But as welcome as this news is, that Russia is finally stepping up and helping Syria in more ways that just talk, I can’t say it’s simply because it’s the right thing to do. Once again, it’s all about money, natural resources and one group’s access to them and another’s loss.  It’s just another part of the Great Game to dominate and control the earth’s natural resources.

Turkish MP blames Al Nusra for border town attack

from The National

A Turkish opposition MP yesterday accused the Syrian rebel group Jabhat Al Nusra of planting the twin car bombs that killed 46 people in a frontier town this weekend.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey’s prime minister, said he held the Syrian government responsible for the attack in Reyhanli. But Mehmet Ali Ediboglu, who represents the Republican People’s Party (CHP), claimed that rebels with links to Al Qaeda had exploited lax security in Turkey’s Hatay province.

He said he believed that Al Nusra had planted the bombs in the frontier area in a bid to drag Turkey into Syria’s civil war because the rebels have realised that they need help to overthrow Bashar Al Assad’s regime.

“This was the work of a very professional terrorist organisation,” said Mr Ediboglu, who represents Hatay in parliament, told The National by telephone. “It looks like an Al Qaeda-style attack,” he said, adding that Al Nusra had a strong presence on the Syrian side of the border region. “They want to get Turkey into the war.”

Sheik Muhammad Bouti, his Grandson and 40 Others Killed by NATO Backed Terrorists in Syria

by Scott Creighton

UPDATE: His website http://bouti.net/ appears to be blocked here in the United States or at least my Verizon service is blocking it.  You can go here to view more images of the freedom fighter’s handiwork.

Sheik Muhammad Bouti was by all accounts a peaceful, educated man. The retired dean and a professor at the College of Islamic Law at Damascus University hated what foreign powers like the U.S., France, Britain, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and others are attempting to do to his country through this ongoing terrorist destabilization campaign. He hated what these mercenaries are doing to the image of his religion which is in it’s purest form and expression of peace, forgiveness and submission. He spoke out about these things he hated and he and his grandson and 40 others who gathered to hear him speak inside al-Iman Mosque in Damascus on Thursday died for it. Died a most gruesome and horrific death at the hands of a coward in the employ of monsters.

U.S. Military Official Calls Khan al-Asal Attack a “creative use of a caustic agent” “but not a chemical weapon”. History Disagrees

by Scott Creighton

UPDATE: See the definition of “Choking Agent’ chemical weapons from the Chemical Weapons: A Summary Report of Characteristics and Effects Dec. 13, 2012 Congressional Research Services at the end of this article. There is no question that chlorine gas is considered a chemical weapon by the United States.

Israeli minister: It’s clear that chemical weapons were used in Syria

Game-changer: Syria’s ‘probability’ of using chemical warfare

Obama warns Syrians on use of chemical weapons

The UN has announced they are going to be investigating the chemical weapons attack in Syria while NATO forces backing the terrorist mercenaries did their level best to delay the investigation.

“Russia has accused Britain, France, and the United States of trying to torpedo an urgent investigation into the alleged use of chemical weapons by armed insurgents in Syria.” Press TV

Britain has been supplying the terrorists with chemical weapons protection kits for a while now.

“Protective equipment in the MoD [Ministry of Defence] stores is very effective for activists engaged against the regime on the ground…” an official involved in the planning.

In the wake of the chemical weapon attack in Khan al-Asal in the northern province of Aleppo which killed 25 people and injured another 110, many of the victims being children, ( all being civilians) an unnamed U.S. military official has declared that the United States no longer considers it to have been a chemical weapons attack but instead they classify it as a “creative use of a caustic agent”

As I will show, history disagrees with the unnamed official. Funny isn’t it that as soon as they can’t blame Assad for the use of chemical weapons in Syria, they decide it wasn’t actually a chemical weapon that was used.

Car bomb attack jolts Syria’s Deir al-Zour

 (While Sec. Kerry suggests more support for the terrorists in Syria, they’re busy setting off car bombs in populated areas targeting the civilian population. What does Kerry want to give them? Passenger planes they can fly into buildings? Envelopes full of Amerithrax they can send to Parliament members and reporters? I mean shit… if you are going to go to bat for terrorists, go to bat for them. Don’t pussyfoot around. Give the terrorists what they need to steal the country from the people and get done with it. We’ve been a morally bankrupt nation run by genocidal maniacs for 6 decades… why fuck around with it? Own it. We are Monsters Inc. and that’s all there is too it.)

from Press TV

A bomb attack has hit eastern Syria as clashes between government forces and foreign-backed terrorists continue across the country, Press TV reports.

The incident occurred on Thursday when a car bomb was detonated in the city of Deir al-Zour.

The number of casualties was not immediately clear.

SOHR and MSM Use Same “Bomb” Prop for Another Regime Change Video

by Scott Creighton

The Associated Press is reporting another set of phantom airstrikes by the ruthless Syrian government on the civilian population, this time around the Damascus suburbs and the Syrian town of Azaz near the Turkish border.

The reports are unconformable of course and they come from two highly dubious sources: the SOHR and the Turkish government.

As ridiculous as it is to take at their word two institutions that are currently working to force regime change in Syria, what makes this recent example even funnier is they focus their “proof’ on a piece of an old Soviet cluster bomb they have already used in the past. They didn’t even clean it off or paint it or anything. They seem to have dug it out of the back of some PR guys SUV and stuck it down in the ground in another town.

Syrian Crisis Actors Bring You “Bakery Airstrike Show” – Biggest Wag the Dog Production Yet

by Scott Creighton

UPDATE: I guess this is cover spin for U.S. backed Syrian terrorists using chemical weapons themselves.

PressTV has reported (more details via Fars News) that chemical weapons have been used by militants fighting Syrian government forces in Daraya, near Damascus. PressTV also reported that threats have been made against Syria’s ethnic minorities that their water supplies will be poisoned by militants – this on the heels of the UN itself warning of (and preemptively spinning) impending sectarian-driven genocide.” Land Destroyer

———-

The regime change coalition in Syria is spending your money (that Obama and Hillary Clinton gave them) on what appears to be blockbuster level Crisis Actors productions.

Two (that’s right, TWO!) new shaky cam/ fuzzy cam videos are out there to motivate us on Christmas day to think of the neoliberals in Syria who just want to see Hillary’s corporations given a fair shake. (Don’t forget this shaky/Fuzzy classic “Assad Uses Chemical Weapons” wow, that Assad guy must be one dumb guy to use both chemical weapons and fighter jets on his own people just at a time when those two things are JUST the justification NATO needs to attack. What a coincidence, huh?)

Just look at the production value. They took a busted up building in the street and some bodies from the morgue and presto! Regime Change Street Theater! Don’t look at it like a war… look at it, like a pageant.

Assad Standing Firm – Utterly Depraved U.S. Policy Not Withstanding

by Scott Creighton

Contrary to the regime change spin spouted by the Jack-Ass neoliberal in libertarian clothing Adam Kokesh, Bashar al-Assad is not planning to go anywhere, much less the litany of future regime change candidates that Adam listed off in his “19 Lies for Hillary Clinton” segment last week.

After Russia recently refuted the NATO backed propaganda that one of their ministers suggested that Assad was on his way out, even the White House is now having to admit that it doesn’t look like Assad is looking for the exits.

U.S. Sec. of Defense Sends Missiles and Troops in Support of the 9/11 Terrorists

Syrian Rebels Tied to Al Qaeda Play Key Role in War NYT Dec 8 2012

Leon Panetta and the administration of “CHANGE” are working overtime to terrorize the legitimate leader of Syria and the general population of the country.

“At least 24 civilians, including a large number of children, were killed in two separate car bombings southwest of Damascus on Thursday” HT Dec 13th 2012

Panetta announced that he is sending two Patriot Missile batteries and 400 U.S. troops to Turkey in support of the terrorists Hillary Clinton and the CIA have been running in their destabilization campaign in neighboring Syria.

Panetta Anounces More Drones and Black Bag Ops “Outside Declared Combat Zones” as Reaction to Benghazi Psyop

by Scott Creighton

Leon Panetta has announced that they will be stepping up drone strikes and black bag operations in Africa and everywhere else including “outside declared combat zones’ due to the “terrorist attack’ on the CIA consulate in Benghazi this past Sept. 11th

Panetta’s declaration is one that Cheney would certainly have been proud of. He is stating that “we” will be running unconventional warfare black ops against all kinds of targets even outside declared combat zones meaning that our Special Forces Ops will be hitting “leftist” targets, people who organize labor or resistance to our imperial project in their nations. We will simply be kicking in their doors at 3 am and dragging them out to never be seen or heard from again.

Analysis: Election over, U.S. cautiously mulls Syria options

Reuters

With the U.S. election over and Syria’s civil war growing bloodier and spreading, the Obama administration is quietly re-examining its options for involvement in the conflict.

Whether that will lead to a change in strategy remains unclear. President Barack Obama and his advisers are extremely cautious, current and former officials involved in discussions say.

But those who favor greater U.S. involvement – not least Syrian opposition leaders – clearly believe their time has come. What Washington must consider, they say, is more support for the rebels and perhaps limited military action.
