Human rights activists are concerned about the grave humanitarian situation in besieged Kurdish towns of southeastern Turkey. Ankara is to face a trial in Strasbourg over its security forces' operation which is due to be over by the end of January.

Schools remain closed in areas under curfews, civilian death toll along with the number of displaced people rises as bloody clashes between government forces and local youth resistance continue across major Kurdish towns in Turkey's southeast, according to multiple reports.

Ozturk Turkdogan, a prominent Turkish human rights activist expressed grave concern about the current situation, in which civilians, including women and children, are being killed every day, he claimed, while the government is preventing human rights activists from visiting the areas under blockade.

Comment: Turkey's current leadership says that they have an 'obligation, responsibility and right to provide security and comfort' to their citizens even as they bomb, humiliate, and terrorize thousands of them. This is criminal madness, and, as a remedy, these criminals should see the inside of the justice system.

NATO special forces invade Libya AGAIN after destroying country; Western media AWOL

The 'right to protect' never ends...
NATO members are conducting ground operations in Libya — but you're not supposed to know

One of the major advantages of being a NATO member is that you are allowed to conduct military operations in any country of your choosing, with minimal (or no) news coverage and absolutely zero debate.

This delightful perk is more or less written into NATO's charter. And it's been an especially perky perk with regards to Libya —once the richest, most developed nation in North Africa; now a moon crater.

NATO's "no fly zone" was actually a highly coordinated air and ground campaign to topple (and ultimately murder) Gaddafi. The power vacuum created by the complete destruction of Libya has created a "democracy" plagued by warring tribes and general anarchy, in which the NATO-backed "legitimate" government is not even in control of Tripoli.

Comment: The US and NATO's war of aggression against Libya destroyed a thriving and peaceful country and turned it into a hell on earth.

German mission: Dispatch troops to train Libyan army

Germany plans to dispatch a military contingent to a location near Libya with the alleged mission of training the African country's army, a report says. Germany's Der Spiegel daily reported on Saturday that Berlin mulls sending more than 100 troops for the purported training mission.

"According to internal (government) plans German soldiers could, along with Italian colleagues, within months begin training the Libyan armed forces," the news magazine said, adding, "This would involve 150-200 Bundeswehr (German armed forces) troops."

Officials in Germany's Defense Ministry have yet to comment on the issue, although the report comes one day after the European Union, the body in which Germany has effectively the final say on security and defense cases, urged rival administrations in Libya to back a unity government, as demanded by the United Nations.


Comment: The EU has pledged 100M Euros to install a Libyan "unity" government.


Libya has been in chaos four years after dictator Muammar Gaddafi was toppled and later killed in October 2011. The internationally recognized government, based in Tobruk, eastern Libya, has been vying to recapture the capital, Tripoli, from the militants of the Libya Dawn movement. Takfiri groups, including Daesh terrorists, are also operating in Libya. There are fears of a spillover of violence into Europe.

Comment: A couple hundred armed German troops and "Italian colleagues" to train Libyan troops to fight Daesh...what does this signify? The EU is afraid. With Libya currently an ISIS-designated safe haven, complete with oil fields and facilities, the Islamic State and other hellacious factions are at EU's doorstep. For as long as it will take for the finagling Western cabal to infiltrate and dictate the new Libyan state, ISIS and cohorts will have a home base, protected and provided for by their creators. Europe is buying time. This black hole is on trajectory to get bigger.

'Community of Destiny': Russia & China take huge steps towards breaking the US' stranglehold on oil prices

Russia has just taken significant steps that will break the present Wall Street oil price monopoly, at least for a huge part of the world oil market. The move is part of a longer-term strategy of decoupling Russia's economy and especially its very significant export of oil, from the US dollar, today the Achilles Heel of the Russian economy.

Later in November the Russian Energy Ministry has announced that it will begin test-trading of a new Russian oil benchmark. While this might sound like small beer to many, it's huge. If successful, and there is no reason why it won't be, the Russian crude oil benchmark futures contract traded on Russian exchanges, will price oil in rubles and no longer in US dollars. It is part of a de-dollarization move that Russia, China and a growing number of other countries have quietly begun.

The setting of an oil benchmark price is at the heart of the method used by major Wall Street banks to control world oil prices. Oil is the world's largest commodity in dollar terms. Today, the price of Russian crude oil is referenced to what is called the Brent price. The problem is that the Brent field, along with other major North Sea oil fields is in major decline, meaning that Wall Street can use a vanishing benchmark to leverage control over vastly larger oil volumes. The other problem is that the Brent contract is controlled essentially by Wall Street and the derivatives manipulations of banks like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JP MorganChase and Citibank.

Comment: In 2015 Russia put Washington's imperial conquests in a major bind, and woke much of the globe up to the West's genocide in the Middle East and North Africa. And in 2016 the push to end Washington's stranglehold on the world continues. Buckle in!

Haves or Have-nots: New US House bill undermines Obama, JCPOA

A senior Iranian lawmaker says possible adoption of new sanctions against Iran by the US will harm a nuclear agreement reached between Tehran and the P5+1 group of countries last July.

The US is creating obstacles in the way of implementing the nuclear agreement, dubbed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), to express its dissatisfaction with its absence in Iran's markets, Chairman of the Iranian Parliament (Majlis) Committee on National Security and Foreign Policy, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, said on Friday. The US sought to advance its own economic interests in the JCPOA but we are witnessing in practice that the United States has been denied the chance for presence in Iran's markets, Boroujerdi added.

In a letter to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on October 21, 2015, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei enumerated certain points on the implementation of the JCPOA and issued directives to be heeded in that regard, among them the government's duty to check the imports of goods from the US.

Congress to vote on fresh new sanctions

The Foreign Affairs Committee in the US House of Representatives on Thursday approved a bill that would limit President Barack Obama's ability to lift anti-Iran sanctions as stipulated in the JCPOA. The bill is designed to prevent the removal of certain Iranian individuals and financial institutions from the US Treasury Department's sanctions list, until Obama assures Congress that they were not involved in Iran's ballistic missiles program or alleged terrorist activities.

Comment: According to the US House of Reprehensibles: Iran is guilty until proven innocent.

Britain is complicit in U.S. and Saudi's high crimes against Yemen

Make no mistake. Yemen is Obama's war, planned, orchestrated and initiated in Washington, using Riyadh and other rogue regional states to do his dirty work.

On January 7, Britain's Sky News headlined "Exclusive: UK Helping Saudi's Yemen Campaign" - allied with Washington, complicit in high crimes against peace.

Yemenis are being mass slaughtered, civilians harmed most, indiscriminately targeted.

Britain already supplies Riyadh with terror weapons. "Sky sources confirmed that six (UK) experts are working with Saudi targeteers who select locations for attack" - including residential areas, schools, hospitals, refugee camps, food storage areas, mosques and other nonmilitary sites.

Comment: For more examples of this blatant criminality, see:

US flouts international law (again), supplies Saudia Arabia with cluster bombs to use in Yemen

The Gulf Affairs Institute Director comments on the United States supplying cluster bombs to the Saudi armed forces.

The United States has inflicted thousands of deaths and other casualties in Yemen through its supply of cluster bombs to the Saudi armed forces in violation of the laws of war, Gulf Affairs Institute Director Ali al-Ahmed told Sputnik.
"The US role in Yemen is making a sham of international law. It is an exercise in hypocrisy," al-Ahmed said on Friday. "It was clear from the beginning that the United States was involved in the war in Yemen. They haven't found any way to justify this role."
US policymakers had claimed that they we replaying a restraining role on Saudi military operations against its much smaller neighbor, but this was the opposite of the truth, al-Ahmed insisted.
"They claim the US involvement is justified by reducing casualties, but instead US empowerment and support of Saudi Arabia is allowing Riyadh to inflict more civilian casualties in Yemen, not less. In other words, you throw fire and claim you are doing so to minimize the fire."
.The role of the United States in supplying weapons such as cluster bombs that are being used against a civilian population is a clear violation of international law, the professor pointed out.

Comment: A regime as ruthless as Saudi Arabia would have no problem employing such hideous weapons against a civilian population

Russia's military transport aviation has carried out over 280 sorties to prepare infrastructure of Syria's Hmeimim airbase and has transferred there almost 14,000 metric tons of cargo, a Russian Aerospace Forces spokesman said Saturday.

"In preparation for the Hmeimim airfield's infrastructure on the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic crews of IL-76 and AN-124 Ruslan [aircraft] have carried out over 280 sorties and transported 13,750 tons of cargo," Col. Igor Klimov told reporters.

Moscow has been carrying out a military campaign against the Daesh, also known as ISIL/The Islamic State terrorist group, which is outlawed in Russia and a number of other countries, since September 30, at the request of the Syrian President Bashar Assad.
