Did you know, for example, that WikiLeaks informed the world's people of the following ... It was official government policy to ignore torture in Iraq. U.S. officials were told to cover up evidence of child abuse by contractors in Afghanistan. Guantanamo prison has held mostly innocent people and low-level operatives. There IS (despite government claims to the opposite) an official tally of civilian deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan. US Military officials withheld information about the indiscriminate killing of Reuters journalists and innocent Iraqi civilians. The State Department backed corporate opposition to a Haitian minimum wage law. The U.S. Government had long been faking its public support for Tunisian President Ben Ali. Known Egyptian torturers received training from the FBI in Quantico, Virginia. The State Department authorized the theft of the UN Secretary General’s DNA. The Japanese and U.S. Governments had been warned about the seismic threat at Fukushima. The Obama Administration allowed Yemen’s President to cover up a secret U.S. drone bombing campaign.

Syria - Israel Contempt for International Law & Murdoch Media Interest in Israel's Genie Energy

ꕤ Article SOURCE https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2015/12/no-brake-and-no-disclosure-on-media-owners-interests/ No Brake and No Disclosure on Media Owners’ Interests by craig on December 5, 2015 3:22 pm in Uncategorized     The Times today carries an article on ISIS’ oil interests, Syria and Turkey. Nowhere does it inform its readers that the owner of the newspaper, Rupert Murdoch, has a vested interest in this subject through his role and shares in Genie Energy, an Israeli company granted oil rights in Syria by the Israeli government. Dick Cheney and Lord Rothschild are also shareholders. No, they really are. This is not a conspiracy theory. It is a conspiracy. That Israel should grant oil rights within Syria is of course a striking example of contempt for international law, but then that is the basis on which Israel normally operates. Of course Genie’s share value will be substantially boosted by the installation of a neo-con puppet regime in Damascus which can be bought to underwrite the oil concession granted by Israel. Contempt for international law has been the single most important defining characteristic of neo-conservatism, and the need to uphold international law the recurring theme of this blog. I never thought the UK government would make the withdrawal of its support for the concept of international law explicit, as Cameron has done by removing the obligation to comply with international law from the Ministerial Code. That is truly, truly disgraceful. But to return to Murdoch’s oil interests in Syria, it seems to me a fundamental flaw that when Fox News, Sky News, the Times, the Sun and Murdoch’s numerous other media outlets bang the drum for Western military action in Syria, there is no requirement for the consumer of this propaganda to be told that the outlet is pushing a policy in line with the financial interests of its owner. Even for those actively seeking information, there is no register of the interests of media proprietors.

Syria: US-led Coalition Missile Strike on Syrian Government Troops (SAA) - Killed 3, Wounded 13

ꕤ Article SOURCE https://www.rt.com/news/324940-syrian-army-coalition-strike/ Syria slams US-led coalition deadly strike against troops as 'act of aggression' Published time: 7 Dec, 2015 06:50 Edited time: 7 Dec, 2015 11:03 US-led coalition warplanes have inflicted a missile strike on a camp of Syrian regular troops in the Deir ez Zor province, killing three soldiers. Damascus has slammed the incident as an “act of aggression.” This is the first time coalition planes have hit Syrian troops. The Syrian government has confirmed that there are three casualties and 13 personnel injured, as well as a number of military vehicles destroyed. The coalition jets fired nine missiles at an army camp in the Deir ez Zor province, which remains mostly under the control of Islamic State. The incident is the first of its kind since the coalition started to bomb Syrian territory more than a year ago. The Syrian Foreign Ministry has filed an official protest with the UN Security Council regarding the US-led coalition’s airstrikes on Syrian troops, Syria’s SANA official news agency reported Monday. “Syria strongly condemns the act of aggression by the US-led coalition that contradicts the UN Charter on goals and principles. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sent letters to the UN Secretary General and the UN Security Council,” SANA quoted the foreign ministry as saying. The US-led coalition denies its planes carried out the airstrike on the Saeqa military camp, claiming the only airstrikes in the area were delivered some 55km away from the place. “We’ve seen those Syrian reports but we did not conduct any strikes in that part of Deir Ezzor yesterday. So we see no evidence,” coalition spokesman Colonel Steve Warren said. The Deir ez Zor province is situated in eastern Syria, and is largely controlled by Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL). The region is of extreme strategic importance to the terrorist group, as it contains a number of oilfields, which are a major source of revenue for IS. On November 24, a Turkish Air Force F-16 jet shot down a Russian Su-24 bomber over Syria. Ankara claims the Russian plane briefly crossed into Turkish airspace. One of the Russian pilots was killed by Syrian rebels as he ejected from the stricken plane, while the other was rescued in a swift operation during which one Russian serviceman was killed. The downing of the bomber by Turkey came after a successful Russian bombing campaign against ISIS oil infrastructure on the Syria-Turkish border, and was seen as revenge. Putin described the act as "a stab in the back" and accused Erdogan of benefiting from the illegal oil trade with IS and financing the terrorists. Russia has been conducting airstrikes targeting IS and other terrorist groups in Syria since September 30. The strikes were launched after a formal request from Damascus. Russian jets have been carrying out sorties from Moscow’s Khmeimim Air Base in Latakia. The US-led coalition’s airstrikes in Syria are in fact illegal, as it has never received permission from Syrian President Bashar Assad to enter the country’s airspace. In response to the UK’s decision to join the bombing campaign in Syria, Assad reiterated in an interview with the Sunday Times that the presence of Britain in Syria is unlawful as neither Damascus nor the United Nations have given London the green light to bomb Syrian territory. “It will be harmful and illegal and it will support terrorism, as happened after the coalition started its operation a year or so [ago], because this is like a cancer,” Assad said. https://www.rt.com/news/324940-syrian-army-coalition-strike/ Steve Warren Director of Defence Press Operations Washington D.C. Metro Area Spokesman for Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR), US Army https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevestevewarren ---------------------- ꕤ ---------------------- SUMMARY US-led coalition fires x9 missiles from warplanes -- kill x3 Syrian GOVERNMENT soldiers -- injure x13 Syrian GOVERNMENT soldiers -- damage Syrian GOVERNMENT military vehicles -- US-led coalition deny having done so -- province crucial to Western-backed jihadists, ISIS -- province is ISIS stronghold, containing several oilfields -- oilfields fund terrorism via illegal oil sales (to Turkey & others) -- Russian bomber downed by Turkey -- where Russia successfully taking out ISIS terrorist oil trade -- infrastructure -- US-led coalition airstrikes in Syria -- are ILLEGAL -- not conducted with permission of Syrian government -- British presence in Syria -- also ILLEGAL -- neither UN nor Syria gave UK approval to bomb Syrian territory COMMENT This is appalling. The Syrians are defending their country from Western-backed Islamist terrorists, while the airspace of their sovereign nation is being illegally violated by the 'US-led coalition', which enters without permission ... and bombs and kills Syrian soldiers defending their nation (advantaging the Western terrorist proxies in Syria). What is taking place in Syria is another US-led war crime. ꕤ

Syria - Battle for Zabadani

ꕤ Video SOURCE as marked COMBAT FOOTAGE Battle for Zabadani October 2015 45 kilometres north-west of Damascus (near crucial Masnaa border crossing with Lebanon) Syria Arab Army (SAA) & Hezbollah versus FSA Western-backed Insurgents source https://youtu.be/frvqpcxAoY4 ---------------------- ꕤ ---------------------- COMMENT Nothing like I imagined. Everything's badly damaged and it seems chaotic ... like a bullet could come from anywhere. It's exciting to watch from safety, but I'd be scared if I was there. That hand-held rocket launcher is pretty deadly. I don't understand the strategy for fighting.  How do they know when to pull out?  How do they avoid the rocket launcher and still keep shooting (without giving away positions)?  Does anyone ever play dead, or is it safer to retreat?  Without knowing some of that, it sort of doesn't make sense.   All that noise would be enough to scare anyone not serious about fighting.  I'm scared of even the nail gun, so I'd probably die of fright facing the real thing.  What these guys do to defend their country is amazing. SAA & Hezbollah prevailed. Retreat of Al Qaeda Terrorist Forces in Syria By South Front Global Research, December 02, 2015 South Front 1 December 2015 The Syrian Arab Army (SAA), jointly with the National Defense Forces (NDF) captured the strategic hilltops of Koum Aqre in the Daraa province. Dozens of Al-Nusra terrorists were killed during heavy clashes on Koum Aqre located near the strategic towns of Kufer Shamis and Al-Shaykh Maskin. Controlling hilltops the Syrian forces are threatening to open a new front against the terrorists in Syria’s western areas. About 100 Al-Nusra and Ahrar al-Sham terrorists were trying to infiltrate into al-Zabadani via the tunnels they had dug from the town of al-Mazaya, but they were pushed back by the Hezbollah fighters located in the sector. According to the pro-government sources, the terrorists retreated. About 30 militants were killed. Al-Zabadani is located 50 kilometers Northwest of Damascus and 12 kilometers Northeast of Lebanon’s Masnaa border crossing. Its location allows the Syrian government to hold control of the border between Syria and Lebanon in the sector. In the Hama province, the Syrian Al-Qaeda faction “Jund Al-Aqsa” has launched a powerful assault in direction of the ‘Alawi village of Ma’an controlled by the NDF. The terrorists started its advance attacking the villages of Tal Bazzam and Ma’an. Also, clashes were observed at Souran, Al-Tayna, and Al-Buwayda. We remember, the Syrian government lost control of the strategic town of Morek in this area last month. On November 30, for the first time Russian Su-34 fighter-bomber aircraft went on a mission carrying not only aerial bombs OFAB-500 and guided aerial bombs KAB-500, but with with short and medium range air-to-air missiles. The missiles are equipped with homing devices and are capable of hitting aerial targets at a distance of 60 kilometers. Russia has started to equip its jets with air-to-air missiles to defend them from some F-16s violating the Syrian airspace. During the Paris climate talks, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russian authorities have additional evidence that the Russian Su-24 bomber was shot down by the Turkish Air Force to protect oil deliveries of the ISIS terrorist group and that oil from ISIS-controlled fields is being exported to Turkey on an industrial scale.
