Brandon Martinez: ISIL/ISIS is being aided and abetted by Israel

Brandon Martinez, a Canadian journalist and freelance writer, believes that the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS) is the co-product of the Israeli regime and the United States who are supporting it financially and militarily.
According to Brandon Martinez, ISIL is pursuing a Zionist agenda that was set out in 1980s by a fanatic Israeli strategist Oded Yinon who had envisaged the balkanization of the Middle East nations that are not supportive of Israel's expansionistic, imperial agenda.

"Recently we saw Israel bomb several Syrian military sites to aid the ISIL insurgency in the south of the country, which illustrates quite clearly that ISIL is being aided and abetted by Tel Aviv as part of a broader Zionist destabilization plot in Syria," said Brandon Martinez in an interview with Fars News Agency.

"Israel's ultimate agenda, as outlined in the [Oded] Yinon document and other Israeli geopolitical manifestos, is to have Muslims and Arabs fighting and squabbling amongst themselves so that nobody can challenge its hegemony and also so that it can get away with the ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestine with little protest from the outside world," he added.

As said by Mr. Martinez, it's in the best interests of Israel to ignite infighting and dispute among the Muslims and Arab nations, while in effect the different Muslim denominations, including the Shiites and Sunnis, are not at odds and always lived in peaceful coexistence as long as the foreign powers don't pit them against each other.

'Buy firewood & coal': MP warns Ukrainians after US, EU get access to national gas pipes

The decision by the Ukrainian parliament to allow companies from the US and EU to co-manage the country's gas pipelines could lead to the country being left with no gas supplies in the coming winter, an MP has warned in an emotional online address.

Nikolay Rudkovsky, an independent MP in Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada, believes the law allowing 49 percent of Ukraine's national gas transportation system (GTS) to be managed by foreign companies is a big mistake.

"People, my advice to you is: buy firewood and coal! After the Law on reforming the management system of the united gas transportation system of Ukraine (#4116) was passed today, our country has been left with almost no chances of staying with gas," Rudkovsky said on Facebook, following the Rada session.

"Don't the MPs understand that we are now guaranteed to have a winter with no heating?" he asked.

Comment: With an ice age on the way, this is not the best time for Ukraine to leave itself without any heating for the winter. First the Kiev junta antagonize Russia by refusing to pay their gas bill, then they give 49% control of their pipelines to the US government that is obviously going to act in its own anti-Russian interest rather than the interest of the people of Ukraine. In short, the people of Ukraine and their feckless (un) elected government appear unable to stop shooting themselves in the foot.

Video: Donetsk residents record white phosphorus shelling


RT.com
Fri, 15 Aug 2014 08:14 UTC

Citizens of Donetsk have recorded multiple videos of white glowing particles raining on residential quarters. The locals allege that Ukraine's military has shelled their city with internationally prohibited phosphorus incendiaries.

On Thursday night, people in the Lenin district of the city of Donetsk saw a flow of white fire pouring down from the dark sky alongside the now-familiar sound of bombing, RIA Novosti reported.

They suspect these have been incendiary shells stuffed with white phosphorous, similar to those reportedly used by the military during the blockade of another eastern city of Slavyansk in June.

So far there have been no official reports from the scene about the results of the night shelling of Donetsk, which could confirm whether white phosphorous munitions have really been used against densely-populated areas.

Palestine can sue Israel at ICC: Lawyer

A French lawyer says there are still legal channels to prosecute Israel for its war crimes in Gaza at the International Criminal Court (ICC) after Palestine's initial case was rejected last week, Press TV reports.

Gilles Devers had filed a case at the ICC on behalf of Palestine in late July following Israel's attacks on Gaza, but the case has been rejected.
"The Foreign Minister of Palestine Mr. [Riyad] al-Maliki went to The Hague and then I learned that the case was rejected. The court's prosecutor said she decided to reject the case, because Palestine has not signed the Rome Statute and therefore cannot file a case," Devers said in an exclusive interview with Press TV.
The Rome Statute, adopted on July 17, 1998, established the ICC and entered into force on July 1, 2002.
"The court's prosecutor said that the 2009 Declaration of Competency was no longer valid, because between then and now Palestine has become a non-member observer state at the United Nations," Devers said, adding, "Several professors of law have said this has no connection with the case filed by the Palestinians in July. The ICC is independent after all. Therefore, we are going to launch a fresh procedure, asking the prosecutor to work with the Palestinian minister of justice."

For days now, since their dramatic June 10 taking of Mosul, Western mainstream media have been filled with horror stories of the military conquests in Iraq of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, with the curious acronym ISIS.

ISIS, as in the ancient Egyptian cult of the goddess of fertility and magic. The media picture being presented adds up less and less.

Details leaking out suggest that ISIS and the major military 'surge' in Iraq - and less so in neighboring Syria - is being shaped and controlled out of Langley, Virginia, and other CIA and Pentagon outposts as the next stage in spreading chaos in the world's second-largest oil state, Iraq, as well as weakening the recent Syrian stabilization efforts.

In his latest Gold Videocast, Peter Schiff meets with Jim Rickards, author of The Death of Money, for an exclusive interview about gold's role in the international currency wars.

Jim Rickards is Chief Global Strategist at the West Shore Funds, and Director of The James Rickards Project, an inquiry into the complex dynamics of geopolitics + global capital. In The Death of Money, Rickards shows why another monetary system collapse is rapidly approaching - and why this time, nothing less than the institution of money itself is at risk. Fortunately, it's not too late to prepare for the coming death of money. Rickards explains the power of converting unreliable money into real wealth, such as gold and other long-term stores of value.

Finland will impose no additional sanctions on Russia in response to Moscow's ban of food imports from some EU countries, said Finnish Prime Minister before the presidents of the two countries are set to meet on Friday in the Black Sea resort of Sochi.

The Russian President will meet his Finnish counterpart Sauli Niinist in Sochi, on Russia's Black Sea coast, where Putin has a residence on Friday, the president's press service said. Niinist is the first president of a European country to visit Russia in an official capacity since the escalation of the crisis in Ukraine.

The heads of state are to discuss the "peaceful settlement of the internal political crisis in Ukraine and measures to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe", the Kremlin said. Among other issues the presidents will talks about the current state and prospects of bilateral cooperation between Russia and Finland, the Kremlin added.

Comment: The Finnish government probably realized that they were shooting themselves in the foot by participating in a trade war with Russia upon order from the US and is backing down. Good thinking!

Over 70 people have been killed in the Donetsk Region, and 116 others have been wounded over the last three days of fighting in eastern Ukraine, according to a statement by regional authorities.

The Ukrainian army has been shelling Donetsk and its suburbs overnight as well. On Tuesday, the military seized a key train station near Donetsk.

Many civilians are also feared dead after Kiev authorities resumed shelling of eastern districts in Lugansk, the city council reported. No figures for the number of casualties are known yet.

"According to residents' reports, eastern Lugansk came under intensive artillery attack on Wednesday," the city council said on its website. "Witnesses say that as a result of the shelling, many civilians have been killed and wounded."

The city has been without water, electricity and fuel for almost two weeks.

Fifteen people were killed and 19 injured in mortar fire in Donetsk region's village of Zugres on Wednesday, local authorities said, citing health officials. Among those killed were three children.


Comment: Like Israel, Kiev targets civilians, killing women, children, and the elderly. And like Israel, they get away with it.

Philosopher king: Putin says Russia must strike balance between dignity and international cooperation

Russians must consolidate and develop their country, neither sliding into isolationism nor sacrificing their dignity for the sake of pleasing anyone, President Vladimir Putin declared.

"We have to develop our country with calm, dignity and efficiency, without barricading ourselves from the outer world or breaking ties with partners, but also without allowing anyone to treat us with disrespect," he told Russian MPs in Yalta, Crimea.

He called on a consolidation of the people, "not for the sake of any wars or conflict," but "for an industrious labor force for Russia and in Russia's name."

The president defended sanctions of food imports, which the Russian government imposed in response to several rounds of anti-Russian sanctions of the West.

"It's not just a response. First of all, it's support for domestic producers and the opening of our markets to the countries and producers, who want and are willing to cooperate with Russia," Putin said.

Comment: This is what a political leader should be. The food embargo is a stroke of genius, which will not only strengthen Russia's economy and its ties with the sane countries of the world; it will also have the effect of showing the cowards and cronies in the EU that siding with the dying U.S. empire has consequences. Putin is presenting the world with an option, and alternative. Will we take it? Or will we continue to allow spineless, remorseless psychopaths to lie, plunder, and murder?

Sorry, U.S.! OSCE says no troop movement on Russia-Ukraine border

OSCE observers have not detected any troop movement on the Russian-Ukrainian border at the Gukovo and Donetsk checkpoints, the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission said in a weekly report on Wednesday.

People crossing the border can be divided into several groups: families on foot or travelling by car with a lot of luggage; elderly people with few bags; adults with no luggage or empty cars; and people wearing military-style dress with or without backpacks, the report said.

Over the past several days, some 2,000-3000 people were going through the Gukovo checkpoint every day, two-thirds of them entering Russia and one-third heading to Ukraine, observers said, adding that some were going to the neighbouring country for one-day trips and others in order to renew their migration cards.

Throughout the week, detonations and gun fire were heard. These incidents were quickly assessed as not combat related and were the result of securing the roads from unexploded ordinances.

The flow of people at the Donetsk checkpoint was larger than at Gukovo, observers said. About 5,500 people were crossing the border every day, with more than 80% of them going to Russia as a result of the deterioration of the overall situation eastern Ukraine.

Comment: Proving once again that the U.S. just makes stuff up.
