"Armed units of the Al-Nusra Front terrorist group delivered a massive strike on the neighborhoods of Sheikh Maqsood, Al-Muhafaza and Al-Zahra and on Al-Nayrab airport in Aleppo. The terrorists also hit the Syrian Arab Army position in the city of Hndarat," a representative of Russian Center for Reconciliation in Syria said on Saturday.

"A police station and a number of residential buildings were destroyed as a result of a shelling of [Aleppo's] Sheikh Maqsood quarter by militants from terrorist groups. More than 40 civilians, police and military personnel were killed and about 100 sustained injuries," the spokesman said.

According to him, Nusra Front group, outlawed in Russia, also carried out a massive artillery strike on Aleppo airport and the Syrian Army positions near the town of Handrat.

The Polish military plans to recruit civilian volunteers to form a National Guard-style paramilitary force aimed at preparing for a "hybrid war" with Russia, the Polish Defense Ministry has announced.

The first batch of volunteers will be recruited in September, German news resource Spiegel Online has reported.

The state will pay each volunteer 500 zlotys (about €125 a month), and they will undergo regular weekend training. The volunteers will be commanded by professional soldiers.

"The territorial defense force is our response to the threat associated with hybrid warfare," Grzegorz Kwasniak, the Defense Ministry official responsible for creating the new group, said at a press conference on Thursday.

Families of UK soldiers killed in Iraq must pay £770 for copy of 2-million-word Chilcot report

Military families who lost sons and daughters in the Iraq war are told they must pay £767 for a hard copy of Sir John Chilcot's Iraq Inquiry report. The revelation comes as a critical play based on the much-delayed publication opens in London.

Families have been informed that although they can obtain a free executive summary, a hard copy of the 2 million-word report will cost them dearly.

The news has outraged families of the war dead.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, David Godfrey, whose grandson Rifleman Daniel Coffey was killed in 2007, called the charge "scandalous." He said former Prime Minister Tony Blair, who took the UK into the war, should pay for copies for bereaved families.

"It's an absolute insult to all of us families. It's just heart-breaking, to say the least," he said.Godfrey said he could not afford to attend the official release in London in July, let alone buy a copy of the report.

Rose Gentle, whose son Gordon was killed on operations, asked the Mirror: "Have we not paid enough times with the lives of our sons?"

Roger Bacon, whose son Matthew died in 2005, told the paper the news "does beggar belief that it is going to cost that amount of money in the first place. Who has the money to pay for something like this?"

Comment: Families of slain Iraq soldiers to 'sue Blair' if Chilcot report reveals failings, but they will pay for the privilege. After the money-making invasion and destruction of Iraq, the subsequent deaths of millions in the Middle East, here the psychopaths are again, making money on suffering and death.

Whatever happened to those WMDs Blair told us that Iraq had, anyway? Is that question answered in this 2-million-page report?!

Doublespeak: US tells Russia not to target Al-Qaeda branch in Syria because 'moderate rebels' are there

Washington has asked Moscow not to conduct airstrikes against al-Nusra Front, which is Al-Qaeda's branch in Syria, for fear that members of the "moderate opposition" could also be hit, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has reported.

"They [the US] are telling us not to hit it [al-Nusra Front], because there are also 'normal' opposition groups [on those territories]," Lavrov said in an interview with local Russian media that was published on the Russian Foreign Ministry's website.

The minister also stressed that "such opposition groups should leave terrorist positions," adding that "we have long agreed on that." Russia first set a deadline for the "moderate" opposition to leave territories occupied by al-Nusra Front extremists, but then agreed to give them more time to withdraw.

In the interview, Lavrov said that Russia believes that taking specific and more effective measures to fight the Islamic State (IS, former ISIS/ISIL) and al-Nusra Front terrorist groups should be the top priority for Russia and the US if the Syrian crisis is to be resolved.

Families of slain Iraq soldiers to 'sue Blair' if Chilcot report reveals failings

The family members of the slain victims of the Iraq War have vowed to sue Tony Blair, if Chilcot report reveals failings of the government.

The families of the British soldiers killed during the Iraq war plan to sue former Prime Minister Tony Blair if evidence from the long-awaited Chilcot Inquiry suggests that the equipment used during the war was inadequate.

The relatives of the service men and women, whose lives were lost during the Iraq War, are deciding whether to take legal action against the former Prime Minister. One family member, Roger Bacon, father of an army service man who was killed in a roadside bomb blast, said that if the report suggests that equipment provided during the war was substandard then they plan to take Blair to court.

The controversial Iraq War started in 2003 when the US and the UK invaded the country to stop its leader Saddam Hussein, as they believed he was harboring weapons of mass destruction.

Saddam was eventually captured and then killed, however since the start of the war, until it finished in 2011, thousands of Iraqi people lost their lives. Many were displaced, soldiers were killed or suffered due to the violent fighting. It was, as some believe, the war that led to the rise of Daesh, also known as ISIL, who have also massacred many people.

Syrians welcome the presence of Russia

Far from seeing Russian soldiers as occupiers, the Syrian people see them as saviours and welcome their presence.

It was a hard and breathtaking moment for the people of Syria when US President Obama announced in August 2013 that the US was preparing a military strike against Syria. It seemed that the US was about to go to war against Syria on the false pretext of the Syrian government's "alleged use of chemical weapons" against its own people. Obama even called it "the worst chemical weapons attack of the 21st century".

The US plan however ran into a storm of opposition.

Russia and China had consistently opposed US attempts to obtain a UN Security Council Resolution to attack Syria, repeatedly exercising their power of veto in the Security Council to block US proposed Resolutions making threats and calling for sanctions against Syria. Both of these countries made absolutely clear that they adamantly opposed any repeat of the "Libyan scenario" - ie. the NATO war of aggression against Libya - in Syria.

Come August 2013 and these two countries - Russia and China - stood their ground. Both made it crystal clear that they strongly opposed Obama's plan for a strike against Syria.

Corruption of science: Scientific studies under fire over bias, influence

A study showing that sweets were good for kids turned out to be sponsored by candy makers, adding to a long history of scientific research being funded by parties with vested interests in particular outcomes.

The 2011 study made headlines for its findings that children who eat candy tend to weigh less than those who don't. Researchers tracked the health 11,000 children between the ages of two and 18 from 1999 to 2004, by looking at government databases which asked them to recall what they ate in the past 24 hours. It found that kids who ate sweets were 22 percent less likely to be overweight or obese than kids who did not, with adolescents who indulged being 26 percent less likely to be above a healthy weight.

Funding for the study was provided by a trade association that represented candy manufacturers such as Nestle, The Hershey Company and The Wrigley Company, the Associated Press reported Thursday.

The study itself had openly admitted its limitations, with its authors writing that the information it used "may not reflect usual intake" and "cause and effect associations cannot be drawn."

Carol O'Neil, author of the study and a professor at Louisiana State University's School of Nutrition and Food Sciences, said that she hoped industry group could "do something" with the paper, as it was "thin and clearly padded," according to emails obtained by AP.

This question of funding bias isn't new in the food industry. In the past year, 156 of the 168 industry-funded studies reviewed by Marion Nestle, a professor of nutrition at New York University, found that they produced results that were favorable to companies that sponsored them, AP reported.

Over half of every tax dollar you give to Uncle Sam is spent on the military industrial complex

Most people probably don't think too much about this, but are you aware of just how much of your income is being used to fuel the military industrial complex?

Conveniently omitted from the corporate/state-run media organizations is the fact that some 53 percent of your tax dollars are spent on the military. That's right, more than half of the money you give to Uncle Sam for the privilege of being American income is spent directly on military.

In 2011 the budget for the US Government was over 3 trillion dollars, while military spending included a $717 billion request from the pentagon, $200 billion towards "overseas contingency funding" for the two major conflicts we are engaged in, and $40 billion in black budget intelligence which includes the CIA, NSA, and other agencies where the amount of money given is never fully disclosed.

Rooting out lefties under guise of 'targeting anti-Semitism': British Labour Party purge continues

Ken Livingstone claims embittered Blairite Labour MPs pushed for his suspension after comments he made about Hitler and Zionism, and said party leader Jeremy Corbyn had no say whatsoever in the move. Speaking at the Oxford Union on Wednesday, Livingstone maintained the comments, which saw him chased and harangued by a Blairite MP, were factual.

In April he was attacked and eventually suspended for claiming that Hitler had been a supporter of Zionism in the context of the 1932 Haavara Agreement between Germany's Zionist leaders and the Nazi regime to remove Jews from the country.

"I think this has been largely manufactured by people trying to undermine Jeremy Corbyn," he told the Union. If someone says something anti-Semitic they will be expelled but you can't expel someone for telling the truth," he argued. He said his views on the agreement were as logical as "1+1=2." He also said he had been told of his suspension by unelected party officials and that Jeremy Corbyn had nothing to do with the process. At the time Corbyn said the comments were "inappropriate."

Comment: Apparently people in high places or important positions must dumb down to the lowest common knowledge denominator, whether true or false...a sad commentary on our times.

What's really going on in the UK is that the British media is going bonkers over Labour members' "anti-Semitic comments" because it's part of a slow-motion coup against "the number one threat to the UK", Jeremy Corbyn.

Fear of 'next in line,' Algeria moves closer to Russia

It is believed that the omnipresent Washington can destroy the Algerian state. They do it the old-fashioned way: by instigating riots and "color revolutions". In Algeria there is fear. The government strengthens security, improves its military capability, and is actively in contact with Russia, hoping to strengthen her communication because it is included in the bloc standing on the other side of NATO.

Algeria is moving closer to Russia

This was told by a well-known journalist, author of seven books, and host of his own website - Brandon Turbeville. His new article was published on the website Activist Post. The Syrian crisis has dragged on. There is no hope for a speedy return to normalcy in Libya. Will Algeria have time to reflect as it is "in the crosshairs of the Anglo-American gun"? According to the analyst, there is evidence that Algeria is also destined to a sad fate.

Having survived the attempt to destabilize the situation during the "Arab Spring" supported by the West, Algeria is doing everything possible to increase the level of security of the state. With a steel fist, the authorities stopped all attempts to destroy the functioning of the state with the help of externally inspired color revolutions and destabilizing chains. However, now when the protests of the Arab Spring have gone quiet, the Algerian government is not resting. Algeria has strengthened national security measures, improved its military capacity, and cooperated with its neighbors so that they do not fall under the scope of the creators of color revolutions.

In addition, Algeria has decided to strengthen its ties with Russia and the countries that are part of an informal but growing anti-NATO bloc. In other words, Algeria is about to join a group of countries that have relied on a multi-polar world and are trying to act as a counterweight to NATO, says the journalist.

Comment: Sides are being sought and taken. Algeria is playing a 'heads-up' scenario by fortifying and strengthening its capabilities. With Libya as its next door neighbor, the Algerian concerns of terrorist spillover are more than justified; they are guaranteed. The West will eagerly add Algeria to its list of fallen states. Algeria has to look to Russia. To survive, it has but one choice.
