The Mideast peace process is going nowhere: Netanyahu declares West Bank is Israel 'forever,' as liberal Zionists cry out for 'make-believe peace process'

Netanyahu celebrates 50 years of illegal settlements in the occupied territories, August 28, 2017
The never-ending deathbed vigil for the two-state solution has reached a new stage. Government officials in Washington and Jerusalem are now openly abandoning the idea of partition, while U.S. establishment figures, including many liberal Zionists, are bewailing the pronouncements.Last night Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu attended an event celebrating the settlements deep in the West Bank. And he assured Israelis that Jews are never leaving the colonies in what was supposed to be a Palestinian state. Ynet:
"This is the inheritance of our forefathers, this is our country," Netanyahu said at the ceremony. "We came back here to stay forever. There will be no more uprooting of settlements in the Land of Israel."

A White House official pointedly declined to criticize Netanyahu for his statement, per the Jewish Insider.

That refusal follows the State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert saying last week that it would be "bias" for the State Department to commit the United States to two states. "We are not going to state what the outcome has to be. It has to be workable to both sides."

US-led coalition forces in Syria have returned fire after being shot at by Turkey-backed rebels near the northern city of Manbij, according to a coalition spokesman.

"Our forces did receive fire and return fire and then moved to a secure location," coalition spokesman Colonel Ryan Dillon told Reuters by phone.

He added that the coalition has asked Turkey to tell the rebels it supports in the area that firing on US-led coalition forces "is not acceptable."

US ground forces are in northern Syria as part of the coalition's efforts to support the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a local alliance of Kurdish and Arab militias battling Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL).

"Our overt patrols that have been conducting patrols in that area to keep tensions down received fire multiple times over the course of the last two weeks," Dillon said.

"We let our counterparts in Turkey know this and we continue to conduct these patrols but are always prepared and ready to defend ourselves in that area."

Trump's Afghan plan and Pakistani support for jihadists

Donald Trump
Continuing his analysis of Donald Trump's policy in the Greater Middle East, Thierry Meyssan demonstrates that, contrary to current opinion, the US President has not changed his strategy. Breaking with his predecessors, he is attempting to cut off Pakistani support for the jihadists in Afghanistan, just as he did with the role of Saudi Arabia for the jihadists in the Levant. Here, the author explains that although some of Trump's electors may be worried when they see him deploying more troops, they should logically approve his decision.

President Trump's project to reorient US foreign and military policy from imperialism to cooperation is beginning to bear fruit. Since his speeches in Riyadh and Brussels last May, almost all Muslim states (with the exception of Pakistan, Qatar, Sudan and Turkey) have ceased supporting the bevy of jihadist groups born of the Muslim Brotherhood. Simultaneously, NATO has made a 90 degree turn and has also begun to fight the jihadists which, until now, it had been supporting on several theaters of operation.

But while the situation has considerably improved over the last three months in Iraq, Libya and Syria, it continues to deteriorate in Afghanistan.

The founder of the Telegram messaging service and the VKontakte social network Pavel Durov suggests the world may finally have a chance to ditch US dominance thanks to bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

"For the first time in 70 years, the global financial system has an opportunity to get rid of the US hegemony, which has imposed its national currency upon the whole world as a reserve currency," Durov posted on his VK page.

"Since then the US had been collecting tribute from all the countries, paying its debts with incessantly printed dollars and using them to buy assets worldwide," he added.

The post is in response to the Russian Finance Ministry plans to limit public access to bitcoin trading.

President Trump called out "globalists" in his administration for being soft on China

President Trump Gary Cohn
Axios reports:
"China is laughing at us," Trump added. "Laughing."

Kelly responded: "Yes sir, I understand, you want tariffs."

Gary Cohn, who opposes tariffs and the protectionist trade measures pushed by the Bannonites, had his shoulders slumped and was clearly appalled by the situation.

Staff secretary Rob Porter, who is a key mediator in such meetings, said to the president: "Sir, do you not want to sign this?" He was referring to Trump's memo prodding Lighthizer to investigate China - which may lead to tariffs against Beijing.

Trump replied: "No, I'll sign it, but it's not what I've asked for the last six months." He turned to Kelly: "So, John, I want you to know, this is my view. I want tariffs. And I want someone to bring me some tariffs."

Kelly replied: "Yes sir, understood sir, I have it."

At one point in the meeting, Navarro pulled out a foam board chart. Trump didn't pay attention to it, saying "I don't even know what I'm looking at here."

Trump made sure the meeting ended with no confusion as to what he wanted.

"John, let me tell you why they didn't bring me any tariffs," he said. "I know there are some people in the room right now that are upset. I know there are some globalists in the room right now. And they don't want them, John, they don't want the tariffs. But I'm telling you, I want tariffs."

Dem mayors aren't enforcing 'anti-mask' laws, makes antifa violence more likely

Antifa protesters
A Youtuber who uses the name 'Tree of Logic' has a solution to stop Antifa violence. She says that most of the violence occurs because Antifa can hide behind a mask to avoid being identified and arrested. She says that mayors direct the police department, and the mayors are ultimately responsible if the police stand down and fail to enforce the law.

She points out that most of the Antifa violence has occurred in cities with mayors who are Democrats. Many of these Democrat mayors push the gun control agenda.

She says that many of the states where the violence has occurred have anti-mask laws, including California:

Prevent Turkish attack? Russian military vehicles sighted in Kurdish-held city in northern Syria

Russian military vehicles
Russian military vehicles have been sighted in the Kurdish-held city of Tal Rifaat in the northern Aleppo countryside yesterday.

It was reported by local sources on the ground that a Russian MP was also sighted, but this could not be verified by Fort Russ News at this time.

With Turkey's threat to storm the city and root out the Kurdish YPG, the Syrian branch of the Kurdistan Workers Party that Ankara recognizes as a terrorist group, it is assumed that the deployment of the Russian Military Police is to prevent such an event from occurring.

Fort Russ will continue to report on any breaking developments.

The US National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has announced the successful flight test of B61-12 gravity nuclear bombs in Nevada. It comes as US lawmakers reportedly push for a withdrawal from a landmark nuclear treaty with Russia.

The second qualification flight test for the nuclear weapon was carried out by the NNSA and the US Air Force, with the first one having been successfully conducted in March.

The first test drew criticism, including from Brian Becker, director of the anti-war ANSWER coalition, who told RT: "In order to placate his critics, in the media and in politics, Trump has given a blank check to his generals. So they are having a grand time right now, and they are testing all the weapons they've been wanting to test, but not been able to."

Russian officials: UN sanctions no longer working on N. Korea, unilateral action worsens crisis

The UN Security Council has exhausted its ability to affect North Korea with sanctions, the latest missile test indicating that restrictive measures are failing, Russian deputy foreign minister and Head of Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee have said.

"It is obvious that the sanctions pressure resource is exhausted," Russia's foreign ministry deputy head Sergey Ryabkov said following North Korean missiles' fly-by over Japan on Tuesday morning.

"It is no longer possible to pass resolutions in the UNSC which do not contain a clear indication that there cannot be a military solution to the problem, only a political one," Ryabkov said. The diplomat added that the UN must also exclude additional unilateral sanctions, while "new steps towards toughening of sanctions regime can be expected" from the US and its allies after the recent launches.

Tensions remain high on the Korean Peninsula while the US and South Korea are involved in massive war games in the region, which could have "played its part" in provoking Pyongyang into the new missile test, the deputy mister believes.
