Venezuelan Electrical Energy Minister Luis Motta Dominguez reported that 13 attacks on Venezuela's electrical grid took place over the last week, in an attempt to destabilize the Dec. 6 National Assembly elections. Motta Dominguez presented the information at a press conference on Monday.

"The electrical system in the 18 days of October has received 13 attacks, 13 acts of sabotage, which also destabilizes the system," he said. "They are intended to disturb and disrupt the elections on December 6." Dominguez said that "in previous elections, there were power outages just two days before the elections, and they are repeating the pattern."

According to Motta Dominguez the sabotage began on October 13 at a power plant in Zulia state, located in the northwestern corner of the country, where they cut part of the wiring. The owner showed pictures explaining a failure in the Guyana A line.

German refugee crisis is splitting the country apart, pushing Pegida to popularity

The German approach to the refugee crisis is not only splitting European Union member states apart - but also residents living in towns and cities across the country.

Chancellor Angela Merkel is welcoming refugees with open arms, accepting that the country will need to resettle up to a million new people by the end of the year; all the while German media are reporting a rise in anti-refugee sentiment.


Comment: For Pegida to find such a large audience opposed to the 'Islamisation' of Europe shows just how effective NATO's anti-Muslim, anti-migrant, genocidal propaganda has been. NATO has killed at least 4 million people in the Middle East and destroyed their countries and cultures. Do migrants and Islam really look so terrifying in comparison? So if migrants aren't the enemy, then who is? Maybe it's Washington - the ones using the migrant crisis to trash the EU, and who love to see Germany writhe in turmoil when it coincides with their interests.

Russia cleaning up Gladio networks? 20 Islamist terrorists arrested in Moscow

Twenty suspects have been detained and dozens have been put under investigation as a result of a massive operation by security forces in Moscow and the Moscow region. One terrorist mercenary recruiter has been arrested.

Counterterrorist units of the Federal Security Service (FSB) in Moscow are targeting supporters of the radical Islamist organization Hizb ut-Tahrir al-Islami (Islamic Liberation Party) that have been actively participating in terrorist activities and recruiting potential members for extremist organizations.

About 20 active members of Hizb ut-Tahrir, mostly from Central Asian countries, Tajikistan in particular, have been detained. Their extremist literature and other documents have been confiscated, along with personal computers.

Comment: Remember this: US Defence Secretary Ashton Carter 'You'll be sorry': Russia will soon suffer 'casualties' for Syria involvement. Then this: Ashton Carter warned Russia of "reprisal attacks" ... Russia's FSB foils attempted "reprisal attacks". To get an idea of how terrorism really works in Russia, read Sibel Edmonds's novel, The Lone Gladio.

Moscow keeps all channels open: Ready to negotiate with Kiev over flight ban

Russia has sent Ukraine three proposals for consultations on providing air corridors between the two countries after October 25. This Sunday all flights between the two countries will be stopped.

Last week, Ukraine banned all flights from Russia from Sunday in the latest tit-for-tat spat between Kiev and Moscow.

"We have sent three proposals: two proposals are from the Ministry of Transport, and one is from Rosaviatsia [Russian Federal Agency for Air Transport], that are concerned with the agreement on air corridors. If the Ukraine responds to such a proposal [to hold consultations], then we are ready to hold consultations anywhere and at any time," Russian Deputy Transport Minister Valery Okulov told journalists on Tuesday.

Ukraine's Ministry of Infrastructure said the ban on Russian flights will run until Moscow lifts its ban on Ukrainian carriers.

It's still possible that at least one carrier from each country will be allowed to continue flights; a source told Russian media Lenta.ru, adding that Russian state-owned Aeroflot's low-cost subsidiary Pobeda is planning to make flights to Kiev and Odessa this winter.

According to Rosaviatsia, 800,000 passengers flew between Russia and Ukraine in the first eight months of 2015.

Comment: Russia remains true to its commitment of dialogue with all who are willing to rationally discuss their differences. It is in Ukraine's interest to stay connected to Russia. Whether they can buck the will of Washington remains to be seen.

Russia and US sign Syria 'open skies' agreement 'to prevent accidents'

Russia and the US have signed an agreement regulating the operations of the two countries' air forces in Syria. The deal is aimed at preventing incidents and providing for the smooth operation of the two nations' aircraft, and for mutual aid in critical situations.

The agreement, whose full name is "The Memorandum of Mutual Understanding between the Defense Ministries of Russia and the United States on preventing incidents and providing for aviation flights during operations in Syria" is hailed as a 'positive step', the Russian Defense Ministry said in a press release.

The document "has important practical value. It regulates the actions of manned and unmanned aircraft in the airspace above Syria. The Memorandum contains a set of rules and limitations aimed at preventing incidents between the air forces of Russia and the US," the Defense Ministry says.

As soon as the agreement comes into force, there will be 24/7 communication channels established between the Russian and American military commanders. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, its US counterparts have pledged to convey the agreement's details to their anti-Islamic State coalition partners, so that they, too, follow the rules it sets.

The signing of the Memorandum "shows a high potential for cooperation between Russia and the US, including in the fight against terrorism".

Comment: The U.S. blatantly violated Syrian airspace recently and bombed the Aleppo power plant, which is a civilian infrastructure. Russia saw best to offer a signing of this deal to coordinate operations with the U.S. and avoid such 'incidents' in the future.

Ex-U.S. intelligence linguist says US/NATO responsible for destruction of Syria

The United States and its allies are responsible for the destruction of Syria during the country's four-year conflict, a former American intelligence linguist in Florida says.

"The US, Turkey, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and European Union NATO allies and other [Persian] Gulf state allies in the region have been absolutely decimating Syria," Scott Rickard told Press TV on Monday. "Nearly three quarters of the country have been destroyed and over half of the population has been displaced."

"The US government is obviously not conducting itself in an ethical way and it's certainly creating a terrible atrocity not only in Syria, but in other countries where they're operating with the same horrific foreign policy," Rickard said.

US Secretary of State John Kerry's recent remarks that Washington is working to avoid the "total destruction" of Syria is "absolutely absurd and hypocritical," Rickard noted.

"Once again we see the Americans talking out the side of their mouth, spewing lies left and right," he added.

Comment: Fortunately more people are courageously coming forth and stating the obvious truth about U.S./NATO-led wars of terror.

A (short) list of despicable acts by George W. Bush before and after 9/11

Let's look at 50 reasons, some large and some small, why W. inspired so much anger.

1. He stole the presidency in 2000. People may forget that Republicans in Florida purged more than 50,000 African-American voters before Election Day, and then went to the Supreme Court where the GOP-appointed majority stopped a recount that would have awarded the presidency to Vice-President Al Gore if all votes were counted. National news organizations verified that outcome long after Bush had been sworn in.

2. Bush's lies started in that race. Bush ran for office claiming he was a "uniter, not a divider." Even though he received fewer popular votes than Gore, he quickly claimed he had the mandate from the American public to push his right-wing agenda.

3. He covered up his past. He was a party boy, the scion of a powerful political family who got away with being a deserter during the Vietnam War. He was reportedly AWOL for over a year from his assigned unit, the Texas Air National Guard, which other military outfits called the "Champagne Division."

4. He loved the death penalty. As Texas governor from 1995-2000, he signed the most execution orders of any governor in U.S. history—152 people, including the mentally ill and women who were domestic abuse victims. He spared one man's life, a serial killer.

Comment: Apparently the American people learned nothing under either of the Bushes. Obama's list is likely to be even longer.

After securing a beachhead in Syria, the terrorists wish to destabilize whole new regions, widen their expansion and recruit more fighters, including from Russia and former Soviet republics, the Russian president said at a meeting with the country's military top brass.

The extremists from the Middle East "have been recruiting militants and continue doing so in many countries, unfortunately including Russia and CIS countries," Vladimir Putin said, adding that Moscow launched its air operation in Syria as a preventive action against Islamic State extremists.

Putin insisted that Russia's assistance to Syria fully complies with Moscow's military doctrine and international law.

Comment: Putin must remain vigilant, especially now that the US has been shamed in its fight against terrorism. US may lash out in dirty ways.

The Russian Air Force has attacked 60 Islamic State targets in Syria in the past 24 hours, destroying 19 command posts, Russia's Defense Ministry said in a statement.

"In the past 24 hours, as a result of the strikes two ammunition warehouses, a plant producing ammunition and explosives, 30 firing positions and a machinery collection have been destroyed," the ministry's spokesman, Igor Konashenkov, said Tuesday.

The Su-24M, SU-25SM and SU-34 jets deployed for the mission have all returned to Russia's Khmeimim airbase in Latakia, he added.

The strikes hit targets associated with Islamic State and Al-Nusra in the provinces of Hama, Latakia, Damascus, Aleppo, Idlib and Deir al-Zor, Konashenkov said.

NATO to follow U.S. orders, keep troops in Afghanistan indefinitely to continue Russia provocation

Germany, Turkey and Italy will maintain their current troop levels in Afghanistan, NATO officials said on Monday after the United States announced that it will prolong its military presence there.

General Philip Breedlove, NATO's top commander in Europe, said he had assurances that NATO countries will continue alongside the nearly 10,000 US troops in Afghanistan. "Several of our largest contributors have already communicated with us that they will remain in their current posture," Breedlove told Reuters.

Germany, NATO's top contributor, has around 850 troops in Afghanistan, followed by Italy with 760 and about 500 for Turkey, according to the latest NATO data.

Comment: This comes on the heels of the U.S. changing its position on removing troops from Afghanistan by 2017, which incidentally only occurred after Russia's intervention in Syria and, most importantly, Afghanistan asked Russia for help fighting ISIS. Once the U.S. realized that Afghanistan may be cozying up to Russia, they immediately changed their plans to leave and told their NATO stooges to do the same. They also don't want their multi-billion dollar terrorist infrastructure to be lit up by Russian SU-25's like what's happening in Syria.
