The strikes were the second reported instance of US-coalition forces carrying out deadly attacks in the town of al-Sha'afa, Deir ez-Zor this week, with Syrian media earlier reporting that over 60 civilians had been killed or injured in deadly coalition airstrikes in the town on Monday.

The US-led coalition resorted to the use of cluster munitions in airstrikes on the towns of al-Sha'afa and Hajin on Wednesday, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) has reported, citing local media and civilian sources.

The strikes caused several civilian deaths, with several injuries reported, as well as significant material damage to local houses and other property, SANA said.

Assad shoulders celebrate
Residents of the Syrian province of Suwayda, grateful for their liberation from the captivity of Daesh* terrorists, lifted Syrian President Bashar Assad onto their shoulders during an official reception.

President Bashar Assad met with the liberated Syrians and their families on Tuesday.

In a video clip published by the media outlet Al-Watan, several men lift Assad into the air, with one of them putting the nation's president on his shoulders. Assad's head even grazes the chandelier hanging in the room.

Then they are seen chanting slogans in support of Assad and Syria.

Source: Bill and Hillary Clinton tour canceled due to 'poor sales' - and Broaddrick movie shadowing it?

A source tells The American Mirror that Bill and Hillary Clinton's 13-city tour has been canceled.

In early October, CNN reported:
The Clintons announced on Monday that they would headline a series of live events together - billed "An Evening with The Clintons" - across the country in the final weeks of 2018 and into 2019.

The tour will provide the Democratic stalwarts with a notable platform weeks after the consequential 2018 midterm elections and deep into 2019, when a number of Democrats will be jockeying for positions in the fight to be the party's standard bearer against President Donald Trump in 2020.

The events, which are being produced by tour promoter Live Nation, are being billed as "one-of-a-kind conversation with two individuals who have helped shape our world and had a front seat to some of the most important moments in modern history."
But now that appears to be off, due to "poor sales."

Washington's 'humanitarian intervention' ploy is transparent - and is now playing a very weak hand in Syria

Syria war
With Damascus and its allies firmly in control of Syria's largest cities and the vast majority of Syrian territory west of the Euphrates - not only has the US-led proxy war against the nation failed - with Russian and Iranian forces involved indefinitely - the return of additional territory under Damascus' control seems all but inevitable.

However, the US still holds territory east of the Euphrates, and - as American policymakers like to gloat - much of Syria's oil wealth falls within this territory illegally occupied by US troops.

There is also the northern city of Idlib and surrounding countryside - the future of which is still nebulous due to the presence of Turkish forces and Ankara's ever-shifting agenda and alliances.

Each side involved in the proxy war has pursued a number of policies - diplomatic, political, and military in nature - to strengthen their positions before the war finally concludes.

For Damascus, Russia, and Iran - decisive military victories across western Syria have served as the central pillar of Syria's victory over the foreign-backed militancy. Diplomatic efforts both within Syrian borders and beyond them continue and also play a significant role in ending the war in all of Syria's favor - even including many groups involved in opposing the government now being offered amnesty and reconciliation.

Hillary Clinton has a better chance of becoming president of Libya than she does the United States

If the antidote to Trump is Clinton, the antidote to cancer is heart disease, such is the grotesque perversion of democracy in the land of the free.

The news that Hillary Clinton intends to make another run for the White House in 2020 will have sent a chill sliding down the spine of every student of William Shakespeare's 'Macbeth.'

"By the pricking of my thumbs,

Something wicked this way comes."

Wickedness and Hillary Clinton walk hand in hand. Indeed wickedness is her particular field of expertise, dressed up in the clothes of liberalism. That said, perhaps where she's concerned it is liberalism dressed up as wickedness, what with it becoming ever harder to distinguish between the two.

Time to pay attention: Facebook is supporting the police state by purging pages calling for police accountability

Facebook is actively engaging in the removal of pages who dare to hold police accountable for their actions, a damning precedent, indeed.

One month ago, Facebook and Twitter - without warning or justification - deleted the pages of Free Thought Project and Police the Police which had over 5 million followers. During this purge, they also removed hundreds of other pages including massive police accountability groups like Cop Block, Filming Cops, and stifled the reach of Photography is Not a Crime. We reacted to the purge by starting new pages with the 2.0 appendix at the end of them. On Sunday, exactly one month after they wiped these pages from the internet, Facebook struck again, and again, no reason was given.

The only statement given for the new purge was the following: "It looks like recent activity on your Page doesn't follow the Facebook Page Policies. If you think your Page was unpublished in error, you can appeal and we'll take another look."

The implications of such a move to censor those who expose the police state are horrifying. Before it was deleted, Police the Police was the largest police accountability group on the internet and now, it is no longer.

Escalation: MSM fires back after White House says no journalist has 'right' to enter

Trump acosta press conference
© Reuters / Kevin LamarquePresident Trump admonishes CNN reporter Jim Acosta for failing to yield to next journalist's question.
The Trump administration has said that no journalist has a "first amendment right" to enter the White House and argued that it has "broad discretion" to decide who gets given a press pass.

The White House is defending itself against a lawsuit being brought by CNN over the revocation of journalist Jim Acosta's credentials which allowed him access to the White House.

In a legal filing on Wednesday morning, the Justice Department argued that it was "lawful" to confiscate Acosta's press pass, citing his behavior at a heated press conference last week. The government filing quotes a tweet sent out by White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders in which she called Acosta's behavior "absolutely unacceptable."

Baghdad is looking for approval from Washington to import Iranian gas and energy supplies in exchange for food items, according to two Iraqi government officials as quoted by Reuters.

The Iraqi authorities are reportedly planning to keep on importing Iranian gas, which is used in the country's power stations, as they need more time for searching alternative sources of energy.

"The American deadline of 45 days to stop importing Iranian gas is not enough at all for Iraq to find an alternative source," one of the officials said.

Newly released CIA 'torture program' documents reveal post-9/11 'Project Medication'

A CIA report obtained by the ACLU lays bare the details of the agency's "enhanced interrogation" program, including tactics so disturbing even CIA agents were reluctant to implement them.

The ACLU fought in court for two years to obtain the report, which constitutes a history of the CIA's "extraordinary rendition" detention program from 2002 to 2007. It was drawn up in response to the Abu Ghraib scandal to counteract the "distorted picture" taking shape in the media and, according to the agency's lawyers, does not represent a "final official history, or assessment, of the program."

Beginning with a description of US intelligence services post-9/11 - chaos, panic, disorder, the willingness to do anything to prevent another terrorist attack - the report quickly moves from the seemingly rational goal of "rounding up al-Qaeda operatives worldwide" into surreal excuse-making ("no one ever was medicated rectally" despite "an occasional charge" that this was common practice during the rendition process) - within a single page.

Comment: Torture, mind-control - and all the body, mind and soul-killing tools the CIA could hope to justify using in its utterly bogus 'war on terror'. All in a day's work for the US' most pathological institution:
