Comment: Considering what has occurred of late, with the assassination of the Russian Ambassador to Turkey and the horrific crash of the Russian military plane carrying the Alexandrov Ensemble choir, it's worth revisiting the comments by imperial stooge and all around jerk John Kirby below. It's worth keeping in mind that one of the main theories behind the cause of the plane crash is sabotage. If one pays attention to the world and the actions of the US Empire, it is not hard to think that the latest events are connected to the warning given by Kirby.


US State Department Spokesman, John Kirby says, 'Russia will continue to send troops home [from Syria] in body bags.'

John Kirby warned Russia that terrorist attacks may take place in Russia if the war in Syria continues.

Maria Zakharova responded to Kirby's veiled threat by turning to her Facebook page to note that the statement sounds like a call to "get 'em".

US State Department spokesperson John Kirby told reporters at Wednesday's press briefing...
"Extremist groups will continue to exploit the vacuums that are there in Syria to expand their operations, which could include attacks against Russian interests, perhaps even Russian cities. Russia will continue to send troops home in body bags, and will continue to lose resources, perhaps even aircraft."

The recently built natural gas pipeline from mainland Russia to Crimea has become operational. The pipeline will provide natural gas for the entire population of the peninsula.

"This is another very important step for the development of Crimea in the long term. The supplies of Russian gas to the Crimean peninsula will allow us to develop its economy as a whole and will also help to meet the social needs of the Crimea and Sevastopol," said Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The pipeline stretches 358.7 kilometers across Lake Tuzla and the Kerch Strait, with an additional 27.3-kilometer spur to Simferopol.

According to Putin, the pipeline will provide gas for two 470 megawatts (MW) power stations, which will be built by 2018.

Comment: The West has used Crimea's reunification with Russia as a significant issue to further their propaganda and sanctions against Russia. Yet, it is clear from this example and others that Crimea is far better off with Russia than it would have been with Ukraine.

The US weapons supplies to allies in Syria is a hostile move that threatens Russian military and diplomatic assets in the Arab republic, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Tuesday.

US President Barack Obama lifted formal restrictions outlined in the US Arms Export Control Act, which forbids providing defense-related supplies or services to countries that are not cooperating fully with US anti-terrorism efforts, on December 8.

"The corresponding decision also bears a direct threat to Russian Aerospace Forces aircraft, other Russian military personnel and our embassy in Syria, which has been repeatedly shelled. Therefore, we consider this step hostile," the ministry said.

Comment: Sounds like a warning from Russia that they will no longer be patient and will forcefully attack the terrorists before they gain any advantages.

US President-elect Donald Trump is likely to scrap the UN Security Council's resolution, condemning the Israeli settlement-building policy in the West Bank, which has not been blocked by the Obama administration, experts told Sputnik.

On Friday, the UNSC passed a resolution in a 14-0 vote, with the only abstention from the United States, condemning Israeli settlements in the West Bank. The resolution states that Israel should immediately and completely cease all settlement activities on "occupied Palestinian territory," including in East Jerusalem. Following the adoption of the resolution, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered to revise the UN-Israel relationship.

Following the vote in the UNSC, Trump called the situation around the resolution "the big loss" for Israel, adding that it would make the settlement of the crisis involving Israel and Palestine more difficult.

Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has 'deep expertise in Russia-US relations,' Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said commenting on a report that the 93-year-old may have a role in normalization of ties between Washington and Moscow.

"Kissinger remains one of the wisest politicians and experts who, among other things, has deep expertise in Russian affairs and Russia-US relations," Peskov said on Tuesday.

"If his expertise and rich experience, accumulated over the decades, will be in demand in some way, we would definitely welcome it," he added, speaking with journalists on Tuesday.

"But, of course, the relevance and applicability of [Kissinger's] expertise is not our business, it has only to do with our American colleagues, we cannot interfere with it," Peskov concluded.

US-sponsored terror in Aleppo: Mass graves, mutilated bodies, landmines & other 'moderate' atrocities

A mass grave has been discovered in Eastern Aleppo. Mutilated bodies and mines in children's toys are just some of the atrocities committed by the people the west calls 'moderate'

2016 saw many new words become familiar terms. The real meaning of many of these can be found in The Duran Lexicon. In addition, familiar words became totally removed from their original definition. The word moderate is the most widely abused example.

Consider a group of people who behead civilians, including a 12 year old Palestinian boy, consider people who sell their rape victims on the open market like cattle, consider people who torture civilians, and last but not least, imagine someone who after killing a soldier in a regular army, cuts out his heart and liver and eats them raw.

Turkey continues its 'invasion' of Northern Syria, but to Russia's advantage

As predicted after ISIS burned alive two captured Turkish soldiers Turkey's resolve to capture northern Syrian city of al-Bab from ISIS has only grown.

Since August when it crossed over into Syria the Turkish military with Syrian rebels in tow has been advancing with few complications, but since reaching the outskirts of al-Bab it has been stuck in its tracks. On December 21st alone it lost 16 soldiers killed in a surprise ISIS counter-attack.

A major Turkish complaint has been that the 1,500 or so Syrian rebels accompanying its march are not enthusiastic fighters and largely fled the field when ISIS struck back. So then if Turkey wants al-Bab it will have to do much of the heavy lifting itself.

That is something the Turks have by now resigned themselves to. Turkish media reports that an additional 500 Turkish commandos will be thrown into the al-Bab battle.

Comment: Turkey has long been a wild card in the Syrian war. But even though Erdogan always seems capable of 'going rogue,' it appears his allegiance has shifted from US-NATO and gained a more Eurasian nuance.

Syrian Army troops intensified their anti-terrorism operation in Western Ghouta after Fatah al-Sham Front (previously known as the al-Nusra Front) did not continue the peace talks with the Damascus government.

The army had dispatched a large number of its forces with a large volume of equipment to launch a fresh phase of operation in case the militants refuse to join reconciliation plan.

The army men started a fresh round of operation to liberate the militant-held region of Wadi al-Bardi and stormed Fatah al-Sham's positions in the farms near Wadi al-Bardi, advancing vastly against militants near the town of Wadi al-Bardi.

A military source said that the army will continue its non-stop battle to force terrorists to hand over Wadi al-Bardi to government forces.

Reports said earlier today that the Fatah al-Sham Front deployed in Wadi al-Bardi in Western Ghouta once again left its demand for government amnesty, and threatened to destroy the water reservoirs of Damascus city.

A side you will never see from the pro-al-qaeda Western mainstream media. They want you to believe that Aleppo has "fallen". Aleppo hasn't fallen, she has risen like a phoenix! This is a victory as historical as Stalingrad.

We made this video to offer thanks to all those who supported us, to honor the heroes who resisted and validate the Syrian people's right to real freedom from Western-sponsored tyranny.

Aleppo: Thousands of bombs dismantled, hundreds of terrorists captured trying to hide - UPDATE: Foreigners allowed to leave after secret deal

Ziad Fadel
Syrian Perspective
Fri, 23 Dec 2016 22:22 UTC
syrian army
Syrian Army engineers are combing the East Aleppo area, specifically: Al-Zabadiyya, Salaahuddeen, Al-Mash-had, Al-Ansaari, looking for IEDs and land mines which the terrorist rodents left behind. It is imperative to get this job done quickly in order to return citizens to their homes, schools and medical facilities, all of which were compromised brutally by the presence of American-supported and Saudi-financed mass-murdering freaks of nature. Amazingly, most of the bombs were found in hospitals which the terrorists converted into weapons and ammunition warehouses. The lies about the SAA and RuAF bombing hospital facilities have been exposed clearly. There were simply no hospitals functioning. They were converted by the terrorists into repositories for their instruments of mayhem. All hospitals were established in homes or cellars which deprived the citizenry of access to competent medical care. It has been confirmed to SyrPer that all - and I mean all - homes were booby trapped. This job will not be easy.

The Syrian Army has discovered the main weapons warehouses of the terrorist group, Ahraar Al-Shaam and Nusra/Alqaeda in Al-Zabadiyya. They were mostly placed in schools with parents told to self-teach their children only the Qur'aan. It will take years for these kids to catch up on what a normal educational curriculum would have provided them.

Even just as interesting is the search for the foreign rodents hiding inside the eastern part of the city. An article provided below claims that the underground facility used by the mostly-American rodents as a command-control center has been discovered and the terrorist-enablers inside have been taken prisoner.


Comment: From HunterNews (the article referenced above by Fadel):
According to reports coming from Aleppo, Syrian Special Forces have found a bunker, where were some high-ranking officers of the Western coalition, led by the United States. After that Syrian and Western media published the list of 14 names.

It should be noted that the list of captured officers isn't complete. According to the Syrian journalist Saeed Alsharifi, this list is much longer. That's what tells a journalist tells: "The Syrian authorities were able, thanks to information thorough, arrive at the headquarters of senior officers and western regional in the basement of a district of Aleppo, and capture them all alive. A few names have already been ex filtered to Syrian journalists. Among the detained officers are representatives of: United States, France, Britain, Germany, Israel, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Qatar, etc. Taking into consideration their nationality and rank, it should be noted that Syria holds in this moment a big treasures to carry out the negotiations with the countries of coalition.

According to reports, on the territory of Aleppo were arrested (except of the previously published list of 14 people):
  • No. of American officers is 22
  • British 16
  • French 21
  • Israeli 7
  • Turkish 62
Interestingly, the list of 14 names leaked by a Syrian MP are not the real names of those officers, they are cover names; it is standard practice to use a fake ID when serving in a secret op.

Sources say that during a closed meeting of the UN Security Council, which was held on December 16, 2016, the parties discussed the issue related to the detention of coalition officers, led by the United States.

Comment: Fadel provides the following update, which was pretty much to be expected:
It horrifies me to tell you that the foreign spies who were holed up in Aleppo were allowed to leave with the other terrorist evacuees. This was a deal struck by the Russians and Iranians in spite of the SAA's objections. As you know, 100+ Syrian soldiers were murdered by the terrorists even though they were hostages over whom the SAA conditioned any evacuation. I am deeply ashamed to have to tell you this. It's not a happy day for us.
