Killary Clinton is spreading Islamist extremism

Saudi royal family
If the West in general, and the United States in particular, left the Arab and Muslim world alone and in peace, we would most likely never see all those terrorist attacks, which are rocking the world from Indonesia to France. There would be no Mujahedeen and its mutation into al-Qaida; in Afghanistan or elsewhere. There would be no traces of the ISIS (or ISIL or I.S. or Daesh or however you choose to call it), in Syria, Iraq, Libya or anywhere else.

And the super-conservative Wahhabi Islam, that outdated, freak Saudi mutant, would remain in the religious schools of the ultra-regressive Kingdom, instead of gaining ground all over the Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa.

But the West embarked on a brutal, Machiavellian path: it decided to destroy socialist Islam - that (historically) moderate, compassionate and progressive religion. It smashed once secular Egypt; it overthrew the government in socialist Iran and then in near-Communist Indonesia, implanting in all these places horrifically degenerate and fully outdated religious concepts. It used extremists to destroy healthy patriotism and socialism. Like the Brits in the 19th Century ("You can control people's brains, while we will control your natural resources"), the West embraced Wahhabi teaching, because it was able to guarantee full obedience, dictatorial (pro-Western) governance and oppressive feudalism.

Geert 'Not Quite Right in the Head' Wilders tops Dutch polls with 'de-Islamization' manifesto: Close all mosques, ban Koran, no more Muslims

Geert Wilders, the wild-haired head of the right-wing Dutch Freedom Party (PVV), launched a new manifesto that calls for the "de-Islamization" of the Netherlands as he leads in the polls to become the next prime minister.

Titled, "The Netherlands is ours again," Wilders published the one page, 11 point screed on Thursday, highlighting the party's hard-line positions on Islam.

The document, published ahead of a general election in March, calls for the closure of all mosques and Islamic schools, a ban on the Koran, and "no more immigrants from Islamic countries."

A ban on "Islamic headscarves" in public is also proposed, as well as the prohibition of all "Islamic expressions which violate public order."

Comment: This man is seriously not right in the head. Funnily enough, he happens to have a lot in common with the 'terrorist extremists' he rallies so hard against. He's a small-minded, destructive, bigoted, unscrupulous blot on humanity. The only good thing about this creature is that, as a result of the polarization he is creating in Dutch society, it's a lot easier to see who the mindless authoritarian followers are. If Wilders ever becomes prime minister, remember their faces, and avoid them like the plague.

Tanks, artillery and hundreds of troops took part in Japanese Self Defense Forces (SDF) live-fire drills near Mount Fuji on Thursday. The exercises took place a day after North Korea announced a successful submarine-launched ballistic missile test.

Around 2,400 soldiers, tanks, field guns and helicopters were deployed at the Higashi-Fuji firing range in Gotemba, some 80km west of Tokyo, AFP reported.

The drills in the foothills of Mount Fuji are held annually, but this year they coincided with a North Korean missile test, which was labeled the "greatest success" by Pyongyang.

U.S. pilots provide first hand account of tense Syrian jet encounter

Two American fighter pilots who intercepted Syrian combat jets over northern Syria last week said they came within 2,000 feet of the planes without the Syrians aware they were being shadowed.

The tense encounter occurred after Syrian jets dropped bombs near a U.S. adviser team with Kurdish forces in northern Syria. The Pentagon warned Syria that American forces were authorized to take action to defend its troops. Syrian aircraft haven't dropped bombs in the area since then, and the U.S. military is no longer operating continuous combat patrols there.

"I followed him around for all three of his loops," one of the American pilots, a 38-year-old Air Force major, told USA TODAY Wednesday in the first detailed account of the incident. "He didn't appear to have any idea I was there."

The two pilots asked that their names be withheld for security reasons.

Delegation of Italian lawmakers planning to visit Crimea this fall

A delegation of Italian lawmakers is planning to visit Crimea, Alexei Pushkov, the Foreign Affairs Committee chairman in the lower house of the Russian parliament, said on Saturday.

Earlier this month, Italian lawmaker Stefano Valdegamberi told Sputnik that a delegation of lawmakers from northern Italian councils would visit Crimea in the fall in a bid to promote closer ties between the cities in Italy and the peninsula.

"Following the French, Italian lawmakers are planning to visit Crimea. The West will be unable to keep Crimea isolated: the people who live there are part of Europe," Pushkov said via Twitter.

Comment: More and more lawmakers are deciding to see for themselves the conditions in Crimea. This should add more pressure against the US rhetoric of Russia's "annexation".

The broken chessboard: Brzezinski gives up on Empire

The main architect of Washington's plan to rule the world has abandoned the scheme and called for the forging of ties with Russia and China. While Zbigniew Brzezinski's article in The American Interest titled "Towards a Global Realignment" has largely been ignored by the media, it shows that powerful members of the policymaking establishment no longer believe that Washington will prevail in its quest to extend US hegemony across the Middle East and Asia. Brzezinski, who was the main proponent of this idea and who drew up the blueprint for imperial expansion in his 1997 book The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives, has done an about-face and called for a dramatic revising of the strategy. Here's an excerpt from the article in the AI:
"As its era of global dominance ends, the United States needs to take the lead in realigning the global power architecture.

Five basic verities regarding the emerging redistribution of global political power and the violent political awakening in the Middle East are signaling the coming of a new global realignment.

The first of these verities is that the United States is still the world's politically, economically, and militarily most powerful entity but, given complex geopolitical shifts in regional balances, it is no longer the globally imperial power."

Saudi Arabia cries foul play as Yemenis shout 'we won't bow down to the House of Saud'

Yemenis rally
As Yemen International Conference in the Support of Yemen was in full swing in the British capital, London, Yemenis came in their hundreds of thousands to pledge their support to the Resistance movement this August 20, 2016 - yet another popular show of force, yet another grand display of sovereign political will in the face of foreign diktat.

To the sounds of explosions, and flying Saudi war planes it is Yemen which came to defy its invaders; a proud nation under unprecedented duress, a land united under the banner of its resistance.

"We won't bow down to the House of Saud" chanted the crowd. "We will never bow down to the criminal House of Saud," millions repeated in unison.

If Yemen remains in the throes of a brutal war of attrition for it dared ambition to live free under its skies, its people are quite determined to weather whatever storm Saudi Arabia will throw, so that their right to self-govern and resist oppression could be affirmed - never to be questioned again.

Noam Chomsky, Oliver Stone, Stephen Fry among others condemn Rousseff's impeachment

A host of intellectuals, artists and authors have signed a letter condemning the impeachment of the suspended Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff. It comes amid the controversial trial, which on its second day got off to a rocky start in what resembled a yelling match.

Some of the great names who signed the letter included Noam Chomsky, Oliver Stone, Naomi Klein and Tom Morello.

"We are concerned about the politically motivated impeachment of the president, which installed an interim unelected government," the letter said.

"The legal basis for the ongoing impeachment is widely questionable and there is convincing evidence showing that the main drivers of the impeachment campaign are trying to remove the president in order to stop corruption investigations in which they themselves are involved."
