People in Europe won't be able to "walk safely" and freely on the streets if they don't change their current attitudes, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has warned, amid a deepening diplomatic row over the cancellation of Turkish rallies in the EU.

"If Europe continues this way, no European in any part of the world can walk safely on the streets. We, as Turkey, call on Europe to respect human rights and democracy," Erdogan told a group of local journalists in Ankara on Wednesday, Reuters reported.

During his inaugural address, Germany's new president, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, said Erdogan risks undermining everything Ankara has achieved in recent years.

Misrata terrorist militia topple Tripoli city leaders in blow to Libya 'unity' plan

Misrata Military Council kicks out municipal officials amid rivalry between 'moderates' and 'hardliners' in city

A group of Misrata-based militias announced on Tuesday that it had taken over the city's elected municipal council, as simmering tensions boiled over between factions within the umbrella of the country's "unity government".

In a statement published on behalf of the Misrata Military Council (MMC) and its allied militias - the Union of Revolutionary Fighters (URF) and the Misrata Security Department - MMC chief Ibrahim Bin Rajab announced the group had overthrown the municipal council after it refused to negotiate with protestors over its management of the city.

"A committee was set up to mediate between the protesters and the municipal council, but the latter refused to meet with the committee without giving any justifications," the Libya Observer reported the statement as reading.

Demonstrations against the council were reportedly sparked by its decision to send Hassan Shaba, a former ally of Muammar Gaddafi, and Misrata mayor Mohammed Eshtaiwi to negotiate a ceasefire agreement with rival militias in the capital, Tripoli, after four days of fighting there.

Comment: Sputnik reports:
The self-styled Libyan National Army (LNA) led by Gen. Khalifa Haftar has launched an offensive against illegal armed groups on the south of the country, local media reported Tuesday, citing a source in the LNA.

The operation is aimed at gaining control over the cities of Sabha and al Shatii, the Akhbar Libya news portal reported. The LNA reportedly managed to block the militants' troops from the city of Misrata and take control over an air base.
And as usual, ordinary citizens suffer. From the Moriarty's Lybia War: The Truth blog:
Today the criminals who call themselves "Misurata Militias" began to go door to door in Tripoli. They forced their way into people's homes and took what ever they wanted.

The Misurata Militias are the groups that were supported and armed by Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Obama and others. They are made up of some of the 4% of Libyans that are radicals and other mercenaries. They are now being supported (illegally) by Qatar and Turkey. This is the only way that they can survive as they are now the most hated group of criminals in Libya today.

They have become quite desperate because they realize the Libyan people will never support them, so they have turned to doing as much damage as they possibly can to the innocent Libyan people. Not that they have not done this in the past, the list is endless of their crimes against humanity but the New World Order cabal wanted Libya, and anything that happened to the Libyan people in their theft of the country was just "acceptable collateral damage". No NATO to the rescue, no UN, no ICC crimes against humanity charges - nothing. People in Libya have been imprisoned, tortured, stolen from, homes and families destroyed, starved, had schools and hospitals destroyed - the list goes on and on. Just the war crimes committed in Libya in 2011 and later are so heinous that even Hitler would feel ashamed - AND - this is the 21st century.

Do not think for one minute that humanity has evolved past war crimes, if anything they are even more horrible than they were 70 years ago. But, now we have technology to hide and bury these atrocities so the criminal bankers, Khazarian mafia, New World Order criminals have been give free reign and the results are staggering.

The people in Tripoli are crying for help tonight, but their cries fall on deaf ears. There is no media allowed in Libya, there are no police or law enforcement officers, there is no help. The tribes tell me, if anyone is caught taking a photo or sending a text about these crimes they will be taken to one of the many illegal prisons run by these militias. In the end they most likely will not survive.

This is the result of LIES, lies about the Arab Spring, lies about a Libyan revolution, lies about a no fly zone, lies about Libya's great leader, Ghadafi and so many more. The result was the manipulation of criminal acts against a small sovereign nation that was happy and prosperous. The destruction of lives, infrastructure, families and most of all the attempted destruction of a precious - one of a kind - ancient culture.

Between Election Day and the Inauguration, President-elect Donald Trump and his team were caught up in "incidental surveillance" that was unrelated to Russia, House Intelligence Committee Chair Devin Nunes (R-California) has said.

Nunes was given "dozens of reports" that made "no mention of Russia," he told reporters Wednesday.

"This information was legally brought to me by sources who thought we should know it."

The information was collected as part of a routine investigation, and is considered "incidental surveillance," Nunes said. The "normal, formal surveillance" provided "significant information" about Trump and his team during the transition period.

Russia is busy fighting Islamic State terrorists, while dozens of other countries are sitting around discussing it, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, commenting on the US-led coalition's ministerial conference underway in Washington DC.

"While dozens of countries continue to discuss battling Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL), Russia is fighting it, day and night, every day," Peskov told the press on Wednesday.

The United States is hosting the first major high-profile ministerial meeting of the full 68-state US-led coalition since 2014. The conference is set to last for two days, March 22-23. The US delegation is being led by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, while most nations will be represented by their foreign ministers, as well as some military commanders.

The conference is meant to "accelerate international efforts to defeat ISIS in the remaining areas it holds in Iraq and Syria and maximize pressure on its branches, affiliates, and networks," according to a State Department statement issued earlier this month. The meeting will also underscore that the US considers "the complete defeat" of the terror group its "top priority in the Middle East," according to State Department spokesman Mark Toner, who noted that Russia had not been invited to take part in the conference when announcing the meeting some two weeks ago.

The New New Left is calling for civil war in America

leftist protesters
Not long ago many conservatives predicted an American "melt-down" if Hillary Clinton won the White House. Now, the Democrats, backed by massive corporate interest have our nation on the brink of civil war. Radical thugs at Berkley and elsewhere openly attack anyone uttering support for the new president. Making use of an entitled generation of left extremists, the globalists make their move on American regime change.

There is a soft coup underway in my country. We're far past calling the neo-socialist fanaticism brewing in the United States by any other name. Donald Trump has been in office only a few days, but impartial onlookers wonder at what he could possibly have done to incite such bitter hatred and violence. When Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos was prevented from speaking on the University of California Berkley campus because of a violent protesters the "strategy" of left wing radicals became clear. The people behind the Obama-Clinton cabal intend recreating 1960s tension and chaos. In an ironic twist, Berkley was a central spot for the 1960s Free Speech Movement. Today radical liberalism and entitlement are the only words heard. If something does not change soon, America will burn.

Analysis and discussion of 'Russiagate' and the House Intelligence Committee

Comey and Rogers
The key disclosure of the hearing from the House Intelligence Committee is that US citizens who have not been accused of any wrongdoing have been investigated as part of a classified counter-espionage investigation since July.

FBI Director Comey's and NSA Director Rogers's public testimony to the House Intelligence Committee on Monday 20th March 2017 cast some interesting light on the 'Russiagate' allegations, though these were not the ones the media has sought to emphasize.

Firstly, almost from the moment the House Intelligence Committee began its session, the establishment media as one chose to highlight Comey's public confirmation that the FBI is investigating Russia's alleged interference in the US election, and that this involves investigating allegations of collusion between some of President Trump's associates and the Russians, as if this was a major revelation.

Tillerson urges Senate ratification of Montenegro's NATO membership

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has written to the leaders of the U.S. Senate urging them to approve Montenegro's bid to join NATO, saying it is "strongly in the interest of the United States," media reported.

In a March 7 letter, Tillerson argued that Montenegro's membership in the military alliance would support greater integration, democratic reform, trade, security, and stability in the Balkans, Reuters reported on March 21.

Objections from two Republican senators, Rand Paul and Mike Lee, have delayed a vote in the Senate for months.

Paul has questioned the wisdom of angering Russia, which opposes the expansion of NATO, and has objected to the costs of approving NATO membership for a tiny country that he said could not play a significant role in defending the United States.

Comment: Two pro-Russian opposition leaders in Montenegro who recently had their parliamentary immunity stripped have written to White House senior adviser Steve Bannon, seeking his help to halt the Balkan country's bid to join NATO.
The Associated Press reported on March 3 that opposition lawmakers Andrija Mandic and Milan Knezevic had written a letter to Bannon telling him that the U.S. Senate should vote against Montenegro's accession.

AP said the letter alleged the Obama administration had given "false facts" about Montenegro's readiness to join the alliance in a report to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in September 2016.

The letter claimed Montenegro had not met conditions for membership and was not able to ensure its own security.

The two urged Bannon to get a "clear picture" of the situation before final approval is granted.

"Montenegrin society does not have a unique attitude regarding the admission to NATO as falsely alleged by the former administration in Washington," the letter said.

"In reality, Montenegro does not meet the criteria for admission to the Euro-Atlantic alliance because it cannot ensure its own internal stability and democratic system," the letter claimed.

Mandic and Knezevic did not explain why they had addressed the senior White House adviser rather than members of the U.S. Senate with their claim.

Dozens of civilians killed in US-led coalition strike on school near Raqqa

Dozens mostly women and children were killed and injured in a presumable US-led coalition airstrike on a Syrian school west of Raqqa, local media reported Wednesday.

"Dozens civilians were killed and injured, most of them women and children, as a result of the attack," the source was quoted as saying by the SANA news service.

Unverified reports estimated up to 33 people may have been killed in the strike.

According to the sources, the school that served as a shelter for 50 families from Aleppo, Raqqa and Homs, was almost completely destroyed.

Comment: Hundreds of people could have fallen victim to the US-led coalition's airstrike on a school near Raqqa, Turkish Anadolu news agency reported.
The agency added that the area of the school is not controlled by Daesh terrorists, however, terrorists control locations nearby.


The news agency also reported about an airstrike on the Tabqa region in the western part of Raqqa, killing at least 40.
The U.S. Defense Department says the U.S.-led coalition fighting the extremist group Islamic State (IS) will investigate reports that an air strike hit a school being used as a shelter in Syria, killing at least 33 people near the IS stronghold of Raqqa.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said it believed the air strike was carried out by aircraft of the U.S.-led coalition that is fighting IS in Syria and Iraq.

"At this time the coalition has no indication that an airstrike struck civilians near Raqqa as the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claims," a statement from the U.S. Central Command said.

"However, since we have conducted several strikes near Raqqa, we will provide this information to our civilian casualty team for further investigation."
The Pentagon will aid in investigating reports that at least 33 civilian died near the Syrian town of Raqqa during a US-led coalition airstrike, officials said on Wednesday, following accusations from both local media and monitoring groups based abroad.
"CJTF-OIR [Combined Joint Task Force - Operation Inherent Resolve] takes all reports of civilian casualties seriously and assesses all incidents as thoroughly as possible. Coalition forces work diligently to be precise in our airstrikes. Coalition forces comply with the Law of Armed Conflict and take all feasible precautions during the planning and execution of airstrikes to reduce the risk of harm to civilians."

Hong Kong: False Narratives & Western Subversion in China

chinesische Aktivisten Hong Kong
© ReutersChinese Activists in Hong Kong
Prominent American propagandist Howard French recently published a lengthy editorial in the Guardian titled, "Is it too late to save Hong Kong from Beijing's authoritarian grasp?," in which he attempts to buttress an otherwise categorically false narrative surrounding an alleged indigenous struggle for democracy and independence within Hong Kong.

French attempts to hold China accountable for backtracking on an agreement made with Britain over the return of its own territory taken from it by force in 1841. He also attempts to portray Beijing's crackdown on US-UK subversion in Hong Kong as "authoritarian," never making mention of the extensive funding and meddling both the United States and the United Kingdom are engaged in within Chinese territory.

The article documents only one side of the so-called "independence" movement in Hong Kong, sidestepping any critical analysis of the colonial background of the ongoing political crisis or the neo-colonial aspects that shape current events even now.

Haaretz: Israel just 'trying to be good neighbor' by bombing Syria & supporting ISIS

We understand that Israel has its own national interests. But please stop with the baloney

Haaretz just published the magnum opus of Israeli mourning for what "could have been" in Syria.

We are of course referring to "They Broke It, They Should Fix It: Let Russia and Iran Pay to Rebuild Syria". If you enjoy the headline, you'll love the self-righteous delusions which follow it.

Comment: How the crocodile tears flow when the war-mongers don't get what they want! As Russia-Insider notes, Israeli media is 'inconsolable' now that ISIS' power is waning and Israel no longer has free reign over Syrian territory:
We've been keeping a close eye on the Israeli media over the last few days, and we're amazed at its transparent eulogies for ISIS and the "moderate" rebels:

Iran Israel Islamic State
An interesting choice of words. Especially the "carved up" part. We suppose that if any country knows anything about carving up Syria, it would be Israel.

We are of course referring to Syria's Golan Heights, the "western two-thirds" of which are currently occupied and administered by Israel. Did we type "occupied"? We mean liberated.

For the last six years, Israel has tried to pretend that it has no horse in the "western/Sunni medieval dictatorship" war against Syria. Like Swiss bankers hoarding Nazi gold during World War II, Israel claimed total neutrality as it waited impatiently to cash in.
