The only Russians capture by Kiev's SBU.
Lies always come out (but sometimes when no one is listening.)

I remember in the spring and summer the population of Ukraine was threatened with seemingly hundreds of FSB detainees. Dozens of officers of GRU. Turned out that the number of those and the others detained is ZERO (BIG ROUND ZERO):

Kiev, December 8 (PolitNavigator, Victoria Litovchenko):
The head of the main investigation department of the Security Service of Ukraine Vasily Vovk announced that there are no FSB generals or officers of the GRU detained by SBU. He said this during a broadcast of "Freedom of Speech". According to him, there are more than 200 people detained associated with Donetsk and Lugansk Republics. "There is no difference in relation to a particular person depending on his nationality," - he said, answering to a question whether there are representatives of other States, or only citizens of Ukraine.
Noodles are needed only during lunch. Now no one wants these noodles, and the Ukrainian people entirely missed the truth about the 'spies' (and I'm angry, I will remind Gebbels junta about their lies). And the truth is simple - THERE WERE NO RUSSIAN AGENTS AND OFFICERS. This is what was announced by the head of the main investigation department of the Security Service of Ukraine, Vasily Vovk.

Comment: And it looks like the Novorussians DID get the vast majority of their weapons from exactly where they said they got them: the Ukrainians! We'll give them this much: at least Kiev lies consistently.

Syria hopelessly demands UN sanctions against Israel over 'heinous' Damascus airstrikes

Comment: Since the UN is the U.S' puppet, it must be just a symbolic gesture for Syria to demand the UN sanction Israel. There is zero chance that the UN will do anything to reproach Israel after they, again, attacked a sovereign nation, which is in fact a violation of international law. But in a world where laws are routinely broken in the name of the fascist global empire, those actually hoping for Israel to be sanctioned are just not paying attention.


Syrian officials demanded the UN impose sanctions on Israel after Tel Aviv conducted airstrikes near Damascus Airport. They say the attack was a heinous crime against their sovereignty by a country which doesn't hide its policy of supporting terrorism.

Tel Aviv committed a heinous crime against Syria's sovereignty, said Syrian Foreign and Expatriates Ministry in two identical letters to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and to the Chair of the UN Security Council, SANA news agency reported.

The attack aimed to support armed terrorist groups in Syria, especially after Damascus made some progress in the cities of Deir Ezzor, Aleppo and Daraa, say Syrian officials.

The Syrian Foreign Ministry called for UN officials to impose sanctions on Israel, whose authorities "don't hide their policies in supporting terrorism." Damascus also urged UN to take all necessary procedures to prevent Israel from repeating such attacks in accord with UN Charter.

The letter asserts that Israel is trying to divert the world's attention from the collapse of its own coalition government, which continues "its occupation of the Arab territories and violates the international legitimacy."

Despite the Israeli attacks, Damascus will not stop its efforts to combat terrorism in all its forms, types and tools and on Syrian soil, added the letter.

Best of the Web: U.S. stooge NATO leading fascist charge towards attack on Russia

War is the only business America has left
On July 24th, the Times of London did not headline as this news-report is headlined, but instead headlined much more obscurely, "Russia fears prompt Nato to look east for HQ." Of course, people in the West tend not to care a lot about what "Russia fears." They also don't care much about whether "Nato," or actually NATO [it's an acronym and so is supposed to be all-caps], would "look east for HQ." So, this news report did not garner much attention - as it was, indeed, not intended to.

Online (where the critical, analytical, readers increasingly are), it received even less, because that newspaper isn't online, except for its subscribers - people who are willing to pay for such poor journalism as the Times; i.e, pay to read corporations' PR presented in the form of 'news reports.'

The lengthiest excerpt from the article that's online is at NATO's own site, the PR delivered straight from the horses' mouth, which posting there is certainly validation that the article represents NATO's position accurately, even if it does so in 'appropriately' vague terms. (Of course, that's not "appropriate" for readers, but for NATO, which is the weapons-manufacturers' trade-organization, that's being served in this 'news' story.)

Torture report revelations: Gestapo 2.0 - Hitler would be pleased

The CIA's use of torture failed to gain any intelligence on imminent terrorist threats, didn't lead to any high-level terrorists, including Osama bin Laden, produced fabricated information and was far more brutal than the agency portrayed to policymakers and the public, according to a long-awaited Senate report released Tuesday.

The report by the Senate Intelligence Committee also found:

- The agency assigned unqualified personnel to run secret overseas "black site" prisons where it held in often inhuman conditions at least 119 detainees, some of whom were beaten and subjected to unauthorized interrogation techniques, and at least two died;

- At least 26 detainees were wrongfully imprisoned;

Comment: What can we say? None of this should come as a surprise to anyone. In fact, the CIA is probably orders of magnitude worse than this report suggests. The CIA is one of the largest, most well-funded, and organized terrorist organizations on this planet. America should be proud. At least they lead the world in that department!

Senate torture report: Brutality, psychopathy, lies

Whoops! You missed a streak of blood and excrement there, guy!
An exhaustive, five-year Senate investigation of the CIA's secret interrogations of terrorism suspects renders a strikingly bleak verdict of a program launched in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, describing levels of brutality, dishonesty and seemingly arbitrary violence that at times brought even agency employees to moments of anguish.

The report by the Senate Intelligence Committee delivers new allegations of cruelty in a program whose severe tactics have been abundantly documented, revealing that agency medical personnel voiced alarm that waterboarding methods had deteriorated to "a series of near drownings" and that agency employees subjected detainees to "rectal rehydration" and other painful procedures that were never approved.

[Read: Senate Intelligence Committee's full report on the CIA program]

The 528-page document catalogues dozens of cases in which CIA officials allegedly deceived their superiors at the White House, members of Congress and even sometimes their own peers about how the interrogation program was being run and what it had achieved. In one case, an internal CIA memo relays instructions from the White House to keep the program secret from then-Secretary of State Colin Powell out of concern that he would "blow his stack if he were to be briefed on what's going on."

Comment: Sorry, America, but your reputation is already shot. You'll go down in history as the Ted Bundy of nations. And rightfully so.

SOTT EXCLUSIVE: 'Shut your trap, Frau Merkel!' EU walls are cracking

In her bid for reelection as leader of the Christian Democratic Union, Angela Merkel was interviewed by Die Welt on Dec. 7, 2014. In that interview she once again condemns Russia:
In an interview with Die Welt am Sonntag, Merkel reproached Russian President Vladimir Putin for standing in the way of East European countries that would like to join the EU or strengthen relations with it. Merkel said "Russia created difficulties" for Moldova, Georgia and Ukraine, which had "on their own sovereign decisions, signed association agreements with the EU."

Merkel told the center-right German daily's Sunday edition that "I am convinced that the collective European response to Russia is the right answer." The chancellor added that the fact "that Russia had broken its guarantees in the Budapest Memorandum of 1994 guaranteeing the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine must not be without consequences."
That interview probably did the trick as she was reelected with a staggering 97.7 percent for the eighth consecutive time.

More fear: Islamic State claims 'radioactive device' now in Europe

An alleged weapons maker for the Islamic State (IS) claimed that a "radioactive device" has been smuggled into an undisclosed location in Europe, according to an intelligence brief released Monday by the SITE Intelligence Group.

"A Radioactive Device has entered somewhere in Europe," according Twitter user Muslim-Al-Britani, who claims to be a freelance jihadist weapons maker now working alongside IS (also known as ISIL or ISIS), according to tweets captured and disseminated by SITE.

- Muslim-Al-Britani (@TNTmuslim) December 6, 2014
The claim by Al-Britani comes just days after reports emerged that IS could have in its possession a dirty bomb, the elements of which were obtained via earlier IS raids on a university research facility in Mosul that contained uranium. Al-Britani is also responsible for the flurry of reports on the dirty bomb.

Comment: That last statement is interesting in light of Obama's recent decree for immigration reform that has Congress in an uproar.

And this report: SOTT Exclusive: Send in the troops? Only if ISIS gets hold of a nuclear weapon also bears keeping in mind if the US increases the boots on the ground offensive against ISIL.

SOTT EXCLUSIVE: Match made in Sheol: Israel working with terrorists in Syria (says UN), Mossad training ISIS (says Putin aide)

On Sunday, December 7, Israel reportedly bombed Syria, yet again, this time striking the area near the Damascus international airport and the town of Dimas, close to the border with Lebanon. While the U.S. continues to bomb Syria under the shaky pretense of "fighting ISIS" (while supporting 'rebels' who ally themselves with ISIS in order to bring down Assad, which is what the U.S. really wants to do), Israel forgoes all that liberal 'bleeding heart' pretense and simply gets down to business: targeting locations under Syrian military control, and which involve supplies and food for the Syrian population that really needs them. But that's not all they're up to (more on that below).

Israel must be having a good laugh at the U.S. -- when Bibi and his merry bunch of war trolls want to bomb Syrian civilian and military infrastructure, they just do it, world opinion be damned. For the pansies in the U.S., it's always a 'mistake' -- they really meant to target the 'terrorists'. Grow a spine, guys, and drop the Columbo routine! No one takes a bumbling superpower seriously these days. If you really want to strike fear into the hearts of your enemies, honesty is the best policy. Just tell them: do what we say or we will unleash our trained terrorists on you. Or we'll blackmail you. Or we'll stage a coup in your country, and have you killed in the streets. Or we'll just bomb your country until you submit. That's the way Israel rolls. So take notes, America! Don't be afraid to show the world your true self.

SOTT Focus: The Putin-Hollande meeting: Why was Putin in such a good mood?

Putin and Hollande greet each other at their meeting at Moscow airport.
After his surprise meeting with the French president François Hollande at a Moscow airport, Putin held an unscripted press conference which lasted a little less than six minutes.1 From the way he smiled when he took the first question, it was clear that, from his point of view, the meeting went extremely well. And it is not difficult to understand why.

Having created a rift among the NATO allies by negotiating a major gas deal with the Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Putin believes that he is now able to drive the point home to the warmongering policy-makers in Washington, London and Brussels that major disagreements on policy toward Russia also exist within the European Union. In other words, he sees Hollande's visit as a major crack in the edifice of the EU's punitive actions against Russia.

It is worth pointing out that rumblings of discontent about the sanctions were present in the EU almost from the day one. Not long after the sanctions were imposed as a reaction to the supposed Russian involvement in the shooting down of MH-17, for which, to this day, there is not a shred of credible evidence, the Slovak prime minister Robert Fico warned that the sanctions against Russia might "threaten" the expected positive growth of EU economies.2

Israel bombs Syria's infrastructure again and further assists ISIS

© UnknownThe Israeli air force reaping death and destruction in Gaza last summer during Operation Ethnic Cleansing 2.0 They are now just a hair-breadth's away from directly killing innocent Syrian civilians in the same way.
On Sunday December 7, Israel reportedly launched airstrikes inside Syria yet again, this time very close to Damascus in the area near Damascus International airport. Israeli airstrikes also took place in the town of Dimas which is located close to the Lebanese border.

At this time, Israel has yet to comment on the airstrikes.

Syrian state television has stated that "The Israeli enemy committed aggression against Syria by targeting two safe areas in Damascus province, in all of Dimas and near the Damascus International Airport."

State news agency SANA also stated that the strikes were a "flagrant attack on Syria."

Lebanese state news agencies have reported that Israeli jets "breached its airspace" on Sunday.

Reuters reports that "Residents in Damascus said they heard loud explosions and opposition activists posted photos online of jet streams in the evening sky and fiery explosions. Syria's army general command said on state television that there were "material losses in some facilities." It said the strike benefited al Qaeda."

Comment: Israel is not only kicking Syria while it's down, it is aiding ISIS in a myriad of overt ways, just short of sending the IDF's ground forces in with the Jihadis it seems. Have you noticed that Assad has not made any recent comments publicly about striking back at Israel though? He's playing it smart; Putin smart.
