Who is hunting Angela Merkel with 'rapefugee' hysteria? US network war against the German government

Can Angela Merkel withstand the network attacks coming from globalists like George Soros?

Last September we published an outline of the analysis produced by Russian investigator Vladimir Shalak on the hidden aspects of a Twitter-based campaign to lure Middle Eastern refugees to Germany. Having examined 19,000 refugee-related original tweets, Shalak claimed that the great exodus to continental Europe was artificially arranged by non-European actors. The latest wave of migrant-related violence in a number of European cities on New Year's Eve sparked another intense anti-Merkel campaign in German and European social media, and yielded additional data for Shalak's in-depth research.

Below we will share its preliminary results. But before we do, let's have a glance at two pictures demonstrating the drastic change in just 4 months of German public opinion about the refugees:

Comment: Like we've said throughout this 'rapefugee' hysteria; if you're against the refugees, you're for your own enslavement under the American boot.

Iranian FM points out that US sanctions are illegal as American arms used against Palestinians and Yemenis

Iran has accused the US of hypocrisy and said that new sanctions imposed by the US are illegal, as arms sold by Washington are being used against people in Palestine and Yemen, the Iranian Foreign Ministry has stated.

A spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Hossein Jaberi Ansari, says that Tehran will continue to enhance its missile capabilities, despite Washington introducing fresh sanctions, following a missile test by Iran in October, Press TV reports.

"The US sanctions against Iran's ballistic missile program ... have no legal or moral legitimacy," Reuters cited Ansari as saying in a televised news conference.

"America sells tens of billions of dollars of weaponry each year to countries in the region," Ansari said. "These weapons are used in war crimes against Palestinian, Lebanese and most recently Yemeni citizens."

Comment: Iran makes a great point here. The US is the country actually supporting terrorism, destabilizing nations and committing human rights abuses. The US is upset because Iran is interfering with this agenda.

Now it's Israel's turn to open its nuclear program to IAEA inspection, or face sanctions

The Negev Nuclear Research Center at Dimona, Israel

Iran has currently met its obligations to the IAEA under the 2015 US-led agreement with the UN and now IT is the time for Israel to submit its nuclear program to UNSC inspection or face international sanctions. The imperative is for:

1. The Negev Nuclear Research Center at Dimona to be fully opened to inspection by the IAEA and its estimated undeclared stockpile of up to 400 nuclear warheads be put under UN supervision for eventual destruction other than those required for legitimate defence purposes, estimated not to exceed five warheads (5) in total.

Comment: Will "the only democracy in the Middle East" permit itself to be under the scrutiny of any organization that it doesn't control? Don't hold your breath. Countries with governments as arrogant and pathological as Israel's exemplify hypocrisy and only adhere to international laws and norms when it is politically expedient. And the case will be no different if the UN tries to inspect Israel's nuclear production facilities.

Obscene inequality: 62 richest people as wealthy as poorest half of world's population, according to Oxfam report

The Herald Scotland
Mon, 18 Jan 2016 09:16 UTC

Growing inequality means that the world's wealthiest 62 people own as much as the poorest half of the planet's population - some 3.6 billion people - according to a new report from Oxfam.

The richest 1% - around 73 million out of the world's 7.3 billion people - now own as much as everyone else put together, said the report, published ahead of the annual World Economic Forum of global political and business leaders in Swiss ski resort Davos.

Oxfam said urgent action was needed to tackle the "inequality crisis" and called on world leaders - including Prime Minister David Cameron - to take action to crack down on tax-dodging by the rich, which denies governments in the developing world billions of pounds a year which could be used on health, education and anti-poverty measures.

Comment: The idea that the concentration of wealth in the right hands would create more wealth that would trickle down to the masses is a scam designed to make us accept the huge unfairness of the unbridled capitalistic system we live under.

It is said that behind closed doors the elite often refer to the population as 'useless eaters'. But in a world in which one in nine does not eat properly, and 1% 'eat' as much as the rest, who really are the useless eaters?

Yemeni forces launch missile at Saudi-held military base in Ma'rib

Press TV
Sun, 17 Jan 2016 08:04 UTC

The Yemeni army, backed by Popular Committees loyal to the Houthi Ansarullah movement, has targeted a Saudi-held military base in Yemen's central province of Ma'rib with a ballistic missile. The Tochka missile hit the base used by Saudi mercenaries on Saturday, inflicting heavy damage on the facility.

In another development, Yemeni snipers killed four Saudi troops in the Taval border crossing in the kingdom's southwestern Jizan region. Following the incident, Saudi warships launched missile attacks on the area. Also on Saturday, the Yemeni army fired a number of rockets and missiles at military bases in Saudi Arabia's southwestern Najran Province, and foiled a Saudi attack on the Jebel Hilan in Ma'rib, Yemen's official Saba Net news agency reported.

On Sunday, Saudi warplanes continued their aerial campaign against Yemen, pounding the Rashid industrial complex and a pharmaceutical company in the capital, Sana'a. Saudi fighter jets also targeted Hamzah military base in the central Ibb Province seven times. Yemen's al-Masirah television channel also reported that Saudi fighter jets carried out over 40 air raids on the route connecting the provinces of Ma'rib and al-Jawf.

Riyadh began its military aggression against Yemen in late March 2015. The strikes are supposedly meant to undermine the Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive former Yemeni president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi. More than 7,500 people have been killed and over 14,000 others injured since the strikes began. The Saudi war has also taken a heavy toll on the impoverished country's facilities and infrastructure.

Yemenis have, meanwhile, been carrying out reprisal attacks on the Saudi forces deployed in the country as well as targets inside Saudi Arabia.

UNSC removes sanctions on Iran's Bank Sepah

Press TV
Mon, 18 Jan 2016 12:11 UTC

The UN Security Council has crossed off Iran's Bank Sepah and its international subsidiary from its sanction list following the implementation of a historic nuclear agreement between Tehran and the world powers. The measure was taken on Sunday, a day after the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was announced by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini.

Bank Sepah had been on the UN's blacklist since 2007 over an alleged role in the in Iran's missile program. Meanwhile, US Secretary of State John Kerry announced that his country would repay Iran a $400 million debt remaining from the 1979 Islamic Revolution, along with an additional $1.3 billion in interest.

Earlier, Head of Iran Chamber of Commerce Mohsen Jalalpour said that Iran would re-apply to join the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) now that the sanctions are lifted.

The JCPOA's implementation and the lifting of sanctions imposed on Tehran over its nuclear program was announced after the International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed that the Islamic Republic has remained committed to the nuclear agreement finalized in Vienna, on July 14, 2015, between Iran and the United States, Germany, Britain, Russia, China as well as France. Under the JCPOA, limits were put on Iran's nuclear activities in exchange for the removal of sanctions against the Islamic Republic.

US to pay Iran $1.7bn in debt plus interest

PressTV
Sun, 17 Jan 2016 00:12 UTC

US Secretary of State John Kerry says that Washington is slated to repay Iran a $400 million debt, along with an additional $1.3 billion in interest.

Kerry made the announcement on Sunday, adding that the payments date back to the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran, according to the AFP.

The news comes only a day after President Barack Obama signed an executive order, lifting US economic sanctions on Iran.

The repayment, arranged after an international legal tribunal, is separate from the tens of billions of dollars in frozen assets that Tehran can now access.

Comment: Just wow, massive interest payment on that loan. How smart was that?

Covering its tracks: Turkish terrorist state jails 10 Syrians over Istanbul 'ISIS suicide bomb'

Press TV
Sun, 17 Jan 2016 09:42 UTC

A Turkish court has jailed 10 Syrians over suspected links to a recent deadly bomb blast in the historic city of Istanbul. According to Turkish state media, the Syrians were among a group of 17 people who were referred to court in Istanbul on Sunday over accusations of premeditated murder and membership in a terrorist organisation. The 10 are to remain in jail pending trail while six people were freed on bail and proceedings against the 17th are still undergoing.

The blast took place in the city's Sultanahmet square, a major tourist attraction, claiming the lives of 10 German citizens and injuring 15 more from various nationalities on Tuesday.

Ankara claims that the attack was carried out by a member of the Daesh Takfiri terror group who had recently entered Turkey from Syria, although no group has claimed responsibly for the incident.

Turkey has been on high security alert since more than 100 people were killed in twin blasts in Ankara last October. The attack was blamed on Daesh terrorists. Ankara has been among the main supporters of the militant groups operating in Syria since March 2011.

Comment: No group has so far claimed this terrorist act. Right after the blast, Erdogan accused a Syrian for the bombing attack. Turkish Prime Minister Davutoglu stated "We have determined that the perpetrator of the attack is a foreigner who is a member of Daesh." There is that third option, the false-flag. Regardless, it looks like Turkey has picked a winner: 17 Daesh Takfiri Syrians. Is DT biting the hand that feeds it, or is this something else entirely?

Watch U.S. bombs destroy millions of dollars in Mosul, and kill 5+ civilians in the process

Back in June of 2014, ISIS - which at the time hadn't yet rampaged its way into the world's collective consciousness - took over Mosul, Iraq's second largest city and home to more than 2 million people.

When the city fell, it became immediately apparent that the group was quite serious about its stated goal of creating a medieval caliphate and bringing Sharia Law to the entire region.

The victory wasn't purely symbolic. ISIS fighters captured 2,300 Humvees parked in the city and looted more than $400 million from Mosul's central bank.

Just like that, the brainchild of Abu-Mus'ab al-Zarqawi that grew in post-invasion Iraq and garnered support from regional Sunni benefactors once it began to operate in Syria, was the richest, most well-armed terror group on the planet.

So in the short space of a decade, the US managed to take a largely stable (if autocratic) state and turn it into a smoldering wasteland partially occupied by a brazen group of terrorist desert bandits who Washington and its regional allies were simultaneously using to destabilize neighboring Syria.

Comment: Remember that. The U.S. considers up to 50 civilian deaths reasonable collateral damage. Related reading: Russia may begin releasing data on US-coalition activity in Syria

U.S. breaks spirit of Iran agreement in less than 24 hours

Iranian president Hassan Rouhani

Just yesterday, shortly before the Iranian nuclear deal went into implementation. I asked

How long until the U.S. will, one way or another, transgress against it - if not in letter then in spirit?

The answer is in. It took the U.S. less than 24 hours to break the spirit of the deal and to again promote hardliners in Tehran:

The US Treasury says it is imposing new ballistic missile sanctions on Iran after Tehran released five American prisoners. The move also comes less than a day after some of the sanctions imposed on Iran over its nuclear program were removed by the US and EU.

Washington has imposed sanctions on 11 companies and individuals for helping to supply Iran's ballistic missile program, the Treasury Department stated.

"Iran's ballistic missile program poses a significant threat to regional and global security, and it will continue to be subject to international sanctions," Adam J. Szubin, acting Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, said in a press release.
...
The US move comes after an Iranian missile test carried out in October that broke a UN Security Council resolution restricting the development of missiles that are capable of carrying nuclear warheads.

The nuclear agreement makes sure that Iran does not have and can not develop nuclear warheads. What sense then does it make to restrict its ballistic missile capabilities?

Comment: Iran still has the potential to benefit from the deal, with or without the U.S.: US 'will face difficulties' if they want to invest in Iran's economy - President Rouhani

Thanks, SOTT. Good read.
