Israeli military and intelligence officers claim that Hezbollah seized the M113s from the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) who received them from the US, but Washington rejects any such involvement.

Last month, an Israeli intelligence agent recognized that "these specific APCs" are identical to vehicles the US gave Lebanon, according to the Times of Israel. This is not just an "assumption," but something "we know," a senior Israeli defense official said. Israel is a key US ally in the region, complicating the dispute.

For its part, the US State Department adamantly denies that the APCs could have been sourced from the LAF, citing Lebanon's "exemplary" end-use compliance history, according to spokesman John Kirby. The Pentagon noted that several M113s have "likely been in Hezbollah's inventory for a number of years" and that the M113s are "common" in the area, per Defense News.

Clinton donors want to investigate how Hillary spent $1.5 billion in campaign donations

Clinton's fallout is interestingly causing an internal revolution among Hillary's big donors. At her New York bash to "thank" her big donors of $1 million or more, she took no blame and pointed the finger at Comey and Putin. Her spin did not work and she has lost a lot of credibility according to confidential sources. They were smart enough to realize that even if Russia "hacked" the DNC and Podesta emails, there would be no release if there had been no wrongdoing to begin with.

Now Clinton's biggest backers want a "campaign autopsy," which could expose Clinton's entire operation. The donors are demanding to know where Clinton spent the near $1.5 billion in campaign resources she collected in the closing months. They want the receipts. They are demanding an honest investigation of how Clinton failed to read the mood in swing states and how her Brooklyn operation misread polling data.

The donors are not buying the Russian hack story. Putin isn't the only explanation for her failure and they are now pointing the finger at Hillary. She never bothered to go to Wisconsin. The story running behind the curtain is that fundraisers are cutting off all donations to the Democratic Party until this honest review is carried out. They do not want to hear about Comey and Putin.

From heroes to zeroes: Questions raised about upright image of 'White Helmets'

Now that Aleppo is wholly liberated from jihadists and thousands of civilians are freed from terrorists' captivity, a Norwegian blogger asks what happened to the so-called Syrian Civil Defense, also known as "the White Helmets," who are self-credited for rescuing non-combatants and were recently nominees for the Nobel Peace Prize.

According to Norwegian blogger Pål Steigan, who lashed out against lavish Norwegian contributions to the morally dubious cause, the whole White Helmet business is "a downright fraud" from beginning to end.

"When East Aleppo fell, there wasn't a single White Helmet anywhere to be seen. They had all vanished into thin air, together with the narrative of the heroic Syrian uprising that the mainstream media has been expelling for years," Pål Steigan wrote.


Comment: More on the zeroes called 'White Helmet':

British generals arrive in Syria to recruit Aleppo terrorists and continue the bloodshed

Michael Fallon
A group of British Generals and military advisors have arrived in Syria to recruit and train the terrorist groups which have withdrawn from Aleppo, a Russian daily reported.

The Izvestia newspaper reported that UK Defense Minister Michael Fallon had earlier said that 20 British military instructors have already arrived in Syria to "restore the combat capability of units of the moderate opposition which has retreated from Aleppo".


Earlier reports, in October, said that Britain had sent its military experts to Syria before Aleppo's liberation by the Syrian army to train the fresh terrorists for combat, first medical aid and defuse bombs.

Jimmy Dore on the lying media - Obama is a "f**kin liar" and U.S. is "inflicting human suffering in Syria"

Barack Obama does not explain why the US is involved in Syria. Jimmy Dore breaks it down.

President Barack Obama offers three hilarious reasons for why the US is involved in Syria...and Jimmy Dore exposes Obama for the "f**kin liar" that he is.

Jimmy Dore completely destroys the three lies used by Obama, in a last ditch effort for the outgoing President to explain America's Syria policy...the one that has Obama funding and arming ISIS-Al Qaeda in order to overthrow a secular government.
"We are in Syria at the behest of fossil fuels, so don't make any mistake. And we are there at the behest of Saudi Arabia and Qatar."

"Let's say we get rid of Assad. Who are we going to put in his place...ISIS?"
The video is below. It needs to be watched, listened to, and shared far and wide.

Dore outlines Obama's vicious, and deadly incursion into Syria, using Wahhabi radical jihadists to remove a sovereign government.
"The only one that wants to do it [bomb Syria] less...Trump."
A stunning, refreshingly honest revelation from a progressive comedian, and political commentator. (Language warning)

NATO Auditor General was found dead in Belgium. The body of Yves Chandelon was found in the city of Andenne, in 140 kilometers from the place of his work and 100 km from Lens where he lived.

According to local mass media, the auditor committed suicide. He was found with shot in the head. However, the family doesn't believe in the suicide version, Life reported.

Three unites of weapon have been registered on the 60-year-old man. However, an unregistered weapon was found next to his body, Belg24 reported.

NATO Auditor General Yves Chandelon, in particular, dealt with counteraction against terrorism financing issues. Shortly before death he reported he was receiving strange calls.

Comment: Interesting that he died last Friday, almost a week ago, and still no word about it in any English-language media.

Just today, Belgian investigators have updated the media there to report that he was found dead in his car. The gun he used to top himself, they say, was stolen by him from his father-in-law.

Furthermore, they say, a suicide note was found in the car.

No wonder his family doesn't believe it was suicide.

The Syrian army forces discovered several jails and torture centers after regaining control over Eastern Aleppo.

The Syrian soldiers also found over 20 places used for trials and over 500 identity cards of people who were seemingly detained and tortured by the terrorists.

Meantime, the local sources in Eastern Aleppo said that there are a number of mass graves in different districts containing the corpses of the Syrian soldiers killed and buried by the militants.

They also added that after Liwa al-Touhid terrorists retook control of most Eastern Aleppo districts, they killed tens of people in the streets and mutilated their bodies to show their power.

According to two reports coming out of Aleppo today, at least 14 US Coalition military officers were captured this morning in an East Aleppo bunker by Syrian Special Forces.

This story was quietly leaked by Voltaire.net, who announced,"The Security Council is sitting in private on Friday, December 16, 2016, at 17:00 GMT, while NATO officers were arrested this morning by the Syrian Special Forces in a bunker in East Aleppo."

Fares Shehabi MP, a prominent Syrian Parliamentarian and head of Aleppo's Chamber of Commerce published the names of the Coalition officers on his Facebook page on the 15th December (emphasis added):
  • Mutaz Kanoğlu - Turkey
  • David Scott Winer - USA
  • David Shlomo Aram - Israel
  • Muhamad Tamimi - Qatar
  • Muhamad Ahmad Assabian - Saudi
  • Abd-el-Menham Fahd al Harij - Saudi
  • Islam Salam Ezzahran Al Hajlan - Saudi
  • Ahmed Ben Naoufel Al Darij - Saudi
  • Muhamad Hassan Al Sabihi - Saudi

Comment: Update (Dec. 19): Syria's UN envoy, Bashar al-Jaafari read the names of these foreign military and intelligence officers at a UN press conference today, saying they are currently in E. Aleppo strongholds and trying to escape. Here's the relevant part (full video here):


As Jaafari says, this is the reason for the hysterics from the West over the past days (and weeks, and months). Ever since Aleppo was encircled, the Western military "instructors" embedded with terrorists groups were trapped. The West and its allies desperately wanted to get them out and avoid a PR nightmare. They failed. Jaafari: "We are going to catch them and show them to you." We highly recommend readers watch Jaafari's full Q&A session. Despite the utter seriousness of the topics, he absolutely slams several of the ignorant journalists with some hilarious responses. To one question about the foreign military officers, he corrects the journalist, saying, "No, no, they are 'Syrian moderate opposition' - genetically modified."

Update: Rodney Atkison at Novorossia Today writes:
230 US Army instructors and 54 British troops, 8 French and two Dutch artillery specialists were trapped in Aleppo with ISIS jihadists by Syrian and Russian forces. The Americans asked the Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov to keep this quiet - for obvious reasons! I have this from a reliable source.

The assult by the ISIL militants took place just 5 kilometers East of the T4 Military Airbase and more than 30 kilometers West of the ancient city of Palmyra

Syria's biggest U.S.-backed 'moderate' rebel group just voted on whether to merge with al-Qaeda

ahrar al sham
Ahrar al Sham
This is how close they are

This is straight down from Charles Lister, the Saudi-paid advocate for Syria's radical Islamist rebels. The high council of Ahrar al-Sham which is the biggest rebel organisation in Syria held a vote on whether to merge with Jabhat Fateh al-Sham which is al-Qaeda's Syria franchise and another large rebel organisation.

The vote failed, the two will not be merging, but this is really besides the point. Even a failed vote shows once again how close the rest of the Islamist rebellion is to al-Qaeda. So close that its largest component will realistically contemplated an outright merger.

Comment: Can we stop talking about moderate rebels now?
