Damascus has repeatedly accused Israel of conducting illegal airstrikes on Syrian territory. Tel Aviv has indeed claimed responsibility for some of those strikes, insisting that it targeted alleged Iranian forces or its proxies in the Arab Republic, despite Tehran denying their presence in Syria.

A drone, allegedly belonging to the Israeli Air Force has carried out an attack against a vehicle in Syria near the country's border with Lebanon, Reuters reported citing an anonymous security source. According to the media's sources, the car was carrying Hezbollah forces, who managed to escape the vehicle before it was hit with the attack reportedly resulting in no casualties.

At the same time, Lebanese broadcaster LBC has reported that the vehicle could have been blown up and not attacked from the air. Photos allegedly depicting the site of the incident have emerged on Twitter.

Comment: Israel will continue to violate the sovereign territory of its neighbors unless there is some serious pushback. Sow the wind, and eventually Israel will reap the whirlwind. .

Reactions to the corona virus hint of a wider agenda

The western world has gone into a phase of unprecedented lockdown. Major airlines have ceased international operations. It is an open question is to whether or not they will be able to resume operations when and if the current draconian restrictions are lifted. In Australia, the Federal government has ceased to sit and the government has announced that this parliamentary closure will extend until at least August.

Quite why such a lockdown is necessary is unclear. No convincing explanation has been offered by the government and it is an extreme step that comparable nations in North America, the United Kingdom and all of Europe have found unnecessary. One of the most alarming consequences of this fundamental attack on the notion of Parliamentary accountability is that the decision was met with acceptance by the official Opposition and muted negative comment, if at all, by the major mainstream media.

Media coverage of the pandemic has been extraordinary. At least half of the nightly main television news bulletins have been devoted to coverage of the pandemic, although whether it actually adds to our degree of knowledge is at best debatable.

How US media dish out their own propaganda on China and Covid-19

China can do nothing right. It's either incompetent or evil. As observed by Passage, a Canadian online publication, this is how mainstream American news media have generally been reporting on the Covid-19 pandemic and China.

When the death tolls and cases were rising, Beijing was accused of doing nothing and letting people die. When they started to decline, it was lying. Before Wuhan was put under an unprecedented lockdown, China was trying to "save face" by downplaying the health crisis. When the lockdown was imposed, it was a massive violation of human rights and a power grab.

When Chinese citizens and overseas Chinese criticised Beijing, it was proof the central government had lost all legitimacy and trust. But when they celebrated the epidemic being put under control, they were stage actors or brainwashed.

Plandemic: Coronavirus lockdown playing out as 'foretold' in 2010 Rockefeller Foundation document

FRN presents undeniable proof positive that the Coronavirus 'pandemic' was planned by the Rockefeller Foundation in 2010. This would qualify as 'very strong' circumstantial evidence, also heavily in the area of 'stated intent'. This is more than 'mens rea' and in fact is direct evidence of conspiracy to carry out such a scenario.

The following is a video from 2014 in which a journalist on public access television about six years ago, reviews aspects of a publicly available document which the Rockefeller Foundation produced in around 2010. While the journalist's method of explaining things is less than desirable, (he is clearly a bit dramatic in terms of his presentation) though the material in itself, speaks for itself. Let's not focus on how he presents things, but rather the content of his presentation in this interview. You can see the interviewer also becomes annoyed with his explanatory method.

Cuomo's longed-for 'constitutional crisis' is less about opposition to 'King Trump' than a power-grab for 'King Cuomo'

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo seems intent on dethroning President Donald Trump, picking a fight over reopening the economy while hinting a bigger 'constitutional crisis' would let him slay the orange dragon once and for all.

Cuomo came out swinging against the president this week, accusing him of declaring himself "King Trump" and trashing the work of "our founding fathers" in a series of fiery media appearances that could easily be mistaken for a campaign challenge.

"The only way the situation gets worse is if the president creates a constitutional crisis," Cuomo vowed on Morning Joe on Tuesday, referring to the nationwide coronavirus epidemic and attendant economic depression. "If he says to me 'I declare [the economy] open' and that is a public health risk or it's reckless with the people of my state, I will oppose it."

You will have a constitutional crisis like you haven't seen in decades.

Thanks Obama!... for 4 more years of Trump in the White House

Barack Obama's belated and calculated endorsement of his own vice-president shows the Democrats have learned nothing and forgotten nothing from 2016, doubling down on the same behavior that got Donald Trump into the White House.

In a lengthy video recorded in advance - but of course - and released on Tuesday, Obama deployed his trademark rhetorical gifts to make his support for Biden a nostalgia ride into the eight years the duo was in the White House together.

Even then, Obama gave Biden what amounted to a backhanded compliment, saying he would "surround himself with good people - experts, scientists, military officials, who actually know how to run the government."

India government bans sale of tobacco and liquor

India Today
Wed, 15 Apr 2020 12:02 UTC

The central government has banned the sale of substances like liquor and tobacco during the extended lockdown in place to ensure social distancing, a key tool in the fight against the coronavirus.

In a list of directives released Wednesday, enforceable under the Disaster Management Act, 2005, the government banned the sale of liquor, tobacco and gutka. It also said people who spit in public would be fined. (For a summary of the national directives, click here.)

The novel coronavirus, known as SARS-CoV-2, causes a potentially fatal respiratory illness -- Covid-19 -- and spreads primarily through respiratory droplets produced when a person talks, coughs or sneezes.

Netanyahu 'knows the game better' than Gantz, won't give up seat without forcing an election

With talks toward the formation of a coalition government extended until midnight Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel Resilience Party leader Benny Gantz are conducting negotiations that one expert argues will likely set the incumbent up for continued success while also denying Gantz the position in the future.

Miko Peled, the author of "The General's Son: The Journey of an Israeli in Palestine" and "Injustice: The Story of the Holy Land Foundation Five," joined Radio Sputnik's Loud and Clear on Tuesday to discuss the ongoing negotiations between the two politicians and detail why Gantz refused to form his own government.

Peled told hosts Brian Becker and John Kiriakou that when it comes to Israeli politics, there are two things to keep in mind - with the first being that Netanyahu is not going anywhere.

UK MP Gove under fire as daughter skips to the front of coronavirus-test queue

RT
Tue, 14 Apr 2020 15:32 UTC

UK Cabinet minister Michael Gove is under fire after his daughter was granted permission to skip the coronavirus testing queue, in the latest example of there being one rule for the powerful and another for everyone else.

Gove's 17-year-old daughter began showing mild symptoms on April 5, and the family received special permission from Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty to have her tested the following day, along with orders to stay indoors for a period of 14 days.

The teenager's results later came back negative, but the incident was yet another example of the rich and powerful appearing to jump to the top of the queue while the wider public is told that only the most vulnerable and most at-risk were being tested for the time being.

Totalitarianism is here: Alberta's Bill 10 is an affront to the rule of law

As though following Machiavellian advice to never let a crisis go to waste, the Alberta government has quietly expanded its own powers under the Public Health Act. Bill 10, which was rushed through the legislature in less than 48 hours, gives cabinet ministers new powers to write de facto laws and create new penalties without the approval of the legislative assembly.

Before Bill 10 became law on April 2, Alberta's Public Health Act already empowered politicians and bureaucrats to take property away from citizens and organizations, to force citizens to render aid, to conscript people to help deal with an emergency and to enter into any building or property without a warrant. The chief medical officer was already empowered to forcibly quarantine any person who is ill, or any person who is caring for a sick family member.

Before Bill 10, cabinet ministers were already empowered to suspend the operation of provincial laws, in whole or in part, once cabinet declared a public health emergency. But now, cabinet ministers have acquired the additional power of creating and implementing new orders and penalties, simply through ministerial order, without them being discussed, scrutinized, debated or approved by the legislative assembly of Alberta.
