Turk Tail Wags U.S. Dog

the real Syrian Free Press

A spate of atrocities over the past week suggests that the Erdogan regime in Turkey is desperately trying to goad Washington into a wider Syrian war.
Who’s giving the orders here?

(By Finian Cunningham,  SputnikNews) ~ The evidence points to Washington losing control over its regional underlings. That in turn makes the situation all the more volatile and dangerous.

In this fissile situation of rogue regimes going even more rogue, the prospect of an all-out regional and even global war is sharply increased.

It is common to think of the US and its global system of allies and clients as a top-down order. Washington is the executive and the rest are mere minions and vassals, to do as Uncle Sam beckons.

While that is largely correct, the rapidly changing world has seen a precipitous decline in American power, in line with its flagging economy. The US may…

Historical reflection: „Yom Kippur, October 1973: when the enemie warplanes were falling on Syrian soil like leaves in autumn“ ~ (Eng-Ita, +Videoclip)

the real Syrian Free Press

„Yom Kippur, October 1973: when the enemie warplanes were falling on Syrian soil like leaves in autumn“

Historical reflection.

20 September 1973: The Mossad was informed of the presence in Syria of a new very effective missile system.

The Zionist Air Force sent a swarm of warplanes consisting of 63 Phantom over the skies of Tartous.

The answer of the Syrian Air Defense got no further than the classic antiaircraft response.

Israel believed in the non-effectiveness of the Syrian antiaircraft system.

16 days later, exactly the 6 October 1973, began the war better known as the War of the Yom Kippur.

Zionist warplanes were falling on Syrian soil, like the leaves of a tree in autumn, by the action of the mythical Sam-6, Soviet-made.

Coverage of the Syrian war: one of the most shameful episodes in the history of the U.S. press ~ [drafted by an honest American]

Coverage of the Syrian war will be remembered as one of the most shameful episodes in the history of the American press. Reporting about carnage in the ancient city of Aleppo is the latest reason why.

For three years, violent militants have run Aleppo. Their rule began with a wave of repression. They posted notices warning residents:

“Don’t send your children to school. If you do, we will get the backpack and you will get the coffin.”

Then they destroyed factories, hoping that unemployed workers would have no recourse other than to become fighters. They trucked looted machinery to Turkey and sold it.

the real Syrian Free Press

Source: US Military Chopper Transfers ISIL Leaders from Fallujah to Unknown Location

(FNA) ~ Informed sources disclosed that a US-made helicopter has taken several senior ISIL leaders out of Anbar province in Western Iraq to an unknown location.

„A US chopper landed in a farm near the main road linking al-Saqlaviyeh to Fallujah in Anbar province and took off  after one hour with ISIL leaders on board,“ the Arabic-language Sama Baghdad news website quoted informed Iraqi sources in Fallujah city as saying on Sunday.

The sources noted that several ISIL leaders had gathered in Fallujah farm as if they had been informed of the helicopter’s imminent landing in the farm.

In a relevant development on February 13, senior Iraqi security sources lashed out at the US and its regional allies for supporting Takfiri terrorists in Iraq, and said that Washington is the main cause of ISIL’s survival in his country.

Der „Verschwörungstheoretiker“ Norbert Häring und das Centre for European Reform

Refugees Welcome!

Die Propagandaschau

Jetzt hat es auch Norbert Häring erwischt! Der Wirtschaftsexperte des Handelsblatt und eigenständig denkende Blogger wurde als „Verschwörungstheoretiker“ diffamiert, weil er in einem Tweet den finanziellen Background des Centre for European Reform offenlegte. Dessen Chefsvolkswirt hatte zuvor in einem Artikel auf ZEIT ONLINE gegen das Recht auf Bargeld agitiert.

„Antisemiten“, „Antiamerikaner“, „Putinversteher“, „Populisten“, „Verschwörungstheoretiker“ – diese mittlerweile alltäglichen Diffamierungen aus den Kanonen systemtragender Propagandisten sind die letzte Rückzugslinie, wenn man dort keine faktenbasierten Argumente vorzuweisen hat. Die solcherart Diffamierten sollen aus dem Diskursraum vermeintlicher Demokraten ausgeschlossen und als Parias gebrandmarkt werden, damit man sich nicht mit ihrer Kritik auseinandersetzen muss.

Diffamierungen dieser Form muss man oftmals geradezu als Bestätigung und Adelung ansehen, denn sie beweisen, dass man einen wunden Punkt getroffen und die Gegenseite keine Argumente hat. Das CER hat bemerkenswerterweise keinen eigenen Eintrag in der deutschen Wikipedia, wird dort aber groteskerweise als „unabhängiger Think Tank mit…

Publikumskonferenz im Visier – Teil IV: Frau Beck ruft den Verfassungsschutz

Die Propagandaschau

Die Dummdreistigkeit, mit der viele US-amerikanische Propagandisten und Agenten in deutschen Medien unterwegs sind, macht manchesmal geradezu sprachlos. Wenn das Mitglied der Atlantikbrücke Georg Mascolo, der seine Karriere nicht nur dieser US-amerikanischen Lenkungsorganisation, sondern auch einer korrumpierenden Nähe zu deutschen und US-amerikanischen Geheimdiensten zu verdanken hat, auf der Webseite der ARD Tagesschau über „russische Desinformation in Deutschland“ spekuliert und dabei vollkommen faktenfrei von angeblichen „Hinweisen“ und ungenannten „Beobachtern“ raunt, dann haben wir es entweder mit einem besonders dummen oder besonders perfiden und berechnenden Charakter zu tun, der die Leser vorsätzlich für total bescheuert verkaufen möchte – und dumm ist Mascolo sicher nicht. Es ist, als ob sich eine Flatratehure über den angeblich zu kurzen Rock der Pfarrerstochter echauffiert: verlogen – aber durchaus mit Kalkül – bis zur Selbstverleugnung.

Neben zahlreichen Journalisten stehen aber auch reihenweise deutsche Politiker auf den „Lohnzetteln“ und Kontaktlisten der US-amerikanischen Besatzungsmacht. Eine dieser Maulhuren des massenmordenden…
