Washington desperately trying to foment more revolutions to prevent BRICS cooperation

Having removed the reformist President of Argentina, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, Washington is now disposing of the reformist President of Brazil, Dilma Rousseff.

Washington used a federal judge to order Argentina to sacrifice its debt restructuring program in order to pay US vulture funds the full value of defaulted Argentine bonds that the vulture funds had bought for a few pennies on the dollar. These vultures were called "creditors" who had made "loans" regardless of the fact that they were not creditors and had made no loans. They were opportunists after easy money and were used by Washington to get rid of a reformist government.

President Kirchner resisted and, thus, she had to go. Washington concocted a story that Kirchner covered up an alleged Iranian bombing in Buenos Aires in 1994. This implausible fantasy, for which there is no evidence of Iranian involvement, was fed to one of Washington's agents in the state prosecutor's office, and a dubious event of 22 years ago was used to clear Kirchner out of the way of the American looting of Argentina.

In Brazil, Washington has used corruption insinuations to get President Rousseff impeached by the lower house. Evidence is not necessary, just allegations. It is no different from "Iranian nukes," Saddam Hussein's "weapons of mass destruction," Assad's "use of chemical weapons," or in Rousseff's case merely insinuations. The Secretary General of the Organization of American States, Luis Almagro, notes that Rousseff "hasn't been accused of anything." The American-backed elites are simply using impeachment to remove a president who they cannot defeat electorally.

Comment: In other words, the only way forward for any country striving for independence is to follow Putin's model: Imprison or exile the oligarchs, remove the underhanded US NGOs, and educate the population on the political realities and the threat that they are under from the US-led evil empire.

Merkel and Tusk, posing for photos at pristine refugee camp in Turkey, say: 'No one has right to criticize Turkey'

Top EU officials toured an asylum seekers' camp in Turkey, praising president Erdogan for his efforts in tackling the refugee inflow. That comes as human rights groups have been particularly vocal in their criticism of Turkey's treatment of refugees.

The delegation of European dignitaries, which included German Chancellor Angela Merkel, European Council President Donald Tusk and other officials, came to Turkey in the latest effort to grease the deal under which Ankara has promised to help Europe deal with the refugee crisis.

Comment: Those journalists and citizens facing jail time (or worse), in Turkey and in the EU, for speaking ill of 'Oh Great Sultan, the Exalted One', have got to be asking themselves; "If the great, liberal, democratic, EU leadership is on his side, then who is on mine?..."

To understand the outrageously illegal EU-Turkey refugee deal, read this.

The blackmail's working: Merkel calls for Erdogan's 'safe zones' in Syria

Merkel called on Saturday to establish security zones in Syria.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel called on Saturday to establish security zones in Syria where displaced people could be guaranteed safety.

Speaking at a press conference in Turkey, Merkel said that in such zones "the ceasefire should be especially enforced to guarantee a high level of security."

The German chancellor and several senior EU officials paid a visit to the Nizip camp in the Turkish city of Gaziantep near Syria's border on Saturday to assess the living conditions of some 5,000 Syrian refugees.

Comment: It seems that whatever Erdogan wants from Europe he'll get. However, the idea of a safe zone along Turkey's ISIS-filled border is transparently ridiculous - not only has Turkey actually shelled refugee camps in this area, the concept itself has long been part of the US and Turkey's goal to conquer Syria:
The Kurds have seized and now maintain control of an area that spans the Turkey-Syria border from its western to eastern extremities all except for one small pocket in the middle - from Jarablus in the East to Dabiq in the West. Others have described the zone in slightly different dimensions as being from Jarablus in the East to Afrin in the East. Regardless, this corridor, also known as a "safe zone," is about the exact dimensions of the ISIS supply lines coming in from Turkey to Syria and, if either the Syrian military or the Kurds were able to capture this small section of land on the border, ISIS supply lines would be entirely cut from the North.

U.S. and Turkey's "safe zone" operation designed to assist ISIS, not destroy it

A ceasefire has been agreed between the government and a militant group in Syria's western Quneitra province, which includes the Israel-occupied Golan Heights, the Russian military said Saturday.

"In the al-Quneitra province, ceasefire agreement with a field commander of an armed formation (more than 30 men) has been achieved," the Russian reconciliation center said in a weekly bulletin.

70 jihadists return to Britain ranked 'high-threat,' as terrorists slip through border checks

As many as 70 high-threat jihadists have returned to the UK, a Home Office official has warned. The claim comes as the UK Border Force says its lack of powers is crippling security.

Scott Wilson, coordinator of the Home Office Protect and Prepare counter-terrorism program, told the Security and Counter Terror Expo conference in London that up to a fifth of the 350 returned jihadists could carry out deadly attacks in the UK. He said support for Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) in the UK had outstripped that of Al-Qaeda, warning that while he could not say "where it is going to go" the new threat would endure "for a long, long time."

Wilson's comment comes as the UK Border Force warned it lacks the necessary powers to deal with jihadists entering the UK, raising fear that so-called "clean skins" - those of whom the security services have no prior knowledge - present a serious danger.

Their complaint hinges on the fact that unlike police officers they cannot use the Terrorism Act 2000, which allows officials to "stop, question and detain" any person they believe is "concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism." An anonymous Home Office whistleblower told the Telegraph: "They have conferred no specific powers under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act on immigration officers in arrivals halls. It would be unlawful for them to detain a Brit."



Comment: What did the US and UK think was going to happen when their creations came home? Deadly attacks in the UK? No worries chaps, it's just those "moderate rebels" vetted by the CIA, or maybe the ones that are notably "less extreme."

Seymour Hersh on his new book: Saudi oil money bribes, the killing of Bin Laden

Seymour Hersh

Seymour Hersh is an American investigative journalist who is the recipient of many awards, including the Pulitzer Prize for his article exposing the My Lai massacre by the U.S. military in Vietnam. More recently, he exposed the U.S. government's abuse of detainees in the Abu Ghraib prison facility.

Hersh's new book, The Killing of Osama Bin Laden, is a corrective to the official account of the war on terror. Drawing from accounts of a number of high-level military officials, Hersh challenges a number of commonly accepted narratives: that Syrian president Bashar al-Assad was responsible for the Sarin gas attack in Ghouta; that the Pakistani government didn't know Bin Laden was in the country; that the late ambassador J. Christopher Stevens was at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi in a solely diplomatic capacity; and that Assad did not want to give up his chemical weapons until the U.S. called on him to do so.

The Saker: 'No doubt that US is waging major psy-op war against Russia'

the cia owns everyone of any significance in the major media quote meme
A major topic in the Russian media is mystification with how Putin is portrayed in the Western media.

Wildly popular at home, and seen as a decent, modest, an admirable person, and Russians don't understand how there can be such a disconnect with Western impressions.

Recently, leading Russian commentators and politicians have been suggesting that this can only be explained by a deliberate campaign to defame Putin, by governments or other groups.

Stirring the pot? Israel newspaper makes unsubstantiated claims that Russia fired on Israeli Air Force planes

fighter jet taking off
Gog and Magog already?
Russian forces fired on Israeli Air Force planes at least twice in recent weeks, according to a Friday morning report in the Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth.

The paper said that President Reuven Rivlin brought up the issue with President Vladimir Putin during his visit last month to Moscow, and that Putin said it was the first he'd heard of the incidents, despite coordination between the two militaries.

Israel and Russia established a mechanism meant to coordinate between their air forces in Syria after Russia began carrying out airstrikes to help Syrian President Bashar Assad, who has said his forces are battling Islamic militants and other "terrorists." Assad's government often refers to all opposition fighters as terrorists.

There was no indication from the unsourced report that any Israeli planes were hit, nor were any dates given for the incidents in question.

Comment: Considering the complete lack of evidence or even details about the incidents and the fact that the Russian military has shown itself to operate in a very tactful, decent, and organized fashion, these claims appear to be extremely unlikely. So what's Israel really up to?

Russian author responds to blowhard Albright: 'An ugly old woman with a hook nose who would gain the part of Baba Yaga without needing to audition'

Propaganda slinging crypt keeper, Madeleine Albright
The following are extracts from an interview given to the Austrian newspaper DiePress.com by the former US Secretary of State. We have included a withering response by famous Russian writer and left wing activist Eduard Limonov to one of Albright's responses that seeks to belittle Russia

Even Russia felt betrayed by what happened in Libya.

I've had quite enough of people coming up with excuses for Russia. Russia is always provoking and feeling offended afterwards. The country has gone through a crisis of identity. I will never forget how back in the 90s I encountered a man near Moscow who said to me: "I am so very ashamed. We've been a superpower but now we're like Bangladesh with missiles". Putin has made good use of the situation, claiming he'd "build Russia up once again to bring it back to further glory".

Comment: Madeline Albright, like any other psychopath, accuses Russia of exactly the things that the US/NATO is doing. It's truly astonishing that she can fit so many lies into such a small space.

Grassley: FBI could leak Clinton email investigation if DOJ blocking continues

U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley
© Jason Noble/The RegisterU.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley speaks with reporters after a meeting with the Des Moines A.M. Rotary on Friday.
U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley suggested on Friday that the FBI might leak reports of its investigation into presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server as secretary of state.

Grassley, Iowa's senior senator and chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said an anonymous and unauthorized release of FBI investigative materials could result if officials at the agency believed prosecution of Clinton was stymied for political reasons.

"Is there going to be political interference? If there's enough evidence to prosecute, will there be political interference?" Grassley wondered aloud during a breakfast meeting with the Des Moines A.M. Rotary club on Friday. "And if there's political interference, then I assume that somebody in the FBI is going to leak these reports and it's either going to have an effect politically or it's going to lead to prosecution if there's enough evidence."
