Puppet Masters
As NATO continues to build up its military forces, right up towards Russia's borders, in what is either posturing for more military spending, or a sincere effort by the NATO alliance to try and invade Russia, what is certain is that Russia is not standing idly by while NATO aggression continues to encroach.
The "country that makes nothing", as POTUS Obama so eloquently said nearly one year ago, is cooking up some military goodies for NATO forces. Poland and Romania should especially take note, since they have so graciously offered to host NATO missile systems on their territory. They may have just become target number one for Russia's outer-space hypersonic strategic bomber.
Local sources said Israeli aircraft fired two missiles at an area east of the village of Juhor al-Dik which lies south of Gaza City late on Wednesday, Arabic-language Palestine al-Yawm news agency reported.
There was no immediate report about possible casualties or damage.
The Israeli military frequently bombs the Gaza Strip. Disproportionate force is always used in violation of international law, and civilians are often killed or injured.

The world's first euthanasia clinic in Amsterdam. The clinic has mobile euthanasia teams
In Blade Runner, the Tyrell Corporation created its replicants with a built in expiration date, a post human planned obsolescence where the replicants had a pre-set life expectancy. Dutch actor Rutger Hauer, who improvised the monologue for one of the most moving death scenes in film history, knows his life is completed, utters the words "Time to die" and quietly expires. At the time, the film was quite reviled by critics. It had a short run in theaters and its dystopian plot confused most viewers. Thirty four years later, Blade Runner is generally considered a cult classic and one of the best sci-fi films ever made. Roy Batty's death scene is one of the most quoted and revered in pop culture history. It was through the eyes of a dying replicant, an artificial entity's "completed life" that we shed tears for our own ephemeral humanity: we, too, have seen things; we, too, have unachieved dreams and a will to thrive.
During Obama's time in power he has militarized police forces across our nation to combat readiness, killing far more unarmed citizens each year than any other industrialized nation. In the first 24 days last year, more Americans were killed by police than in the last 24 years in England and Wales. In March last year alone, US cops killed more Americans than UK police killed during the entire 20th century. More US citizens have been murdered since 9/11 by killer cops than US soldiers died fighting in both Afghanistan and Iraq. We are 58 times more likely to lose our life at the hands of those sworn to "protect and serve" us than by terrorists that the US government not-so-secretly created, funds, trains, arms, supplies and has regularly deployed as covert mercenary proxy war allies for nearly a half century.
All the so called "elected" (in reality globalist chosen) national leaders of the West are methodically, feverishly implementing both draconian and nation-destroying economic policies to bring both the Western middle class and freedom to their bitter end along with each country's waning national sovereignty, willfully demolishing the national, cultural and ethnic identity of Western countries for sake of racial and religious divide.
The IPCC now has 45 investigations into alleged police cover-ups underway, all of which involve "prominent individuals" in British society. They also share in common "allegations of corruption in the Metropolitan Police Service relating to child sex offences dating from the 1970s to the 2000s," the IPCC said in a statement.
"They all concern allegations of suppressing evidence, hindering or halting investigations, or covering up alleged offences because of the involvement of prominent individuals or police officers."

- Powerful pedophiles are seemingly everywhere and above the law in the UK

- How Thatcher's Government Covered Up a VIP Pedophile Ring
- In Great Britain, protecting pedophile politicians is a matter of "National Security"
Comey, who would have fit in perfectly with Hitler's Gestapo, tells Congress that the United States is not safe unless the FBI knows when every American goes online, to whom they are sending emails and from whom they are receiving emails, and knows every website visited by every American.
In other words, Comey wants to render null and void the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution and completely destroy your privacy rights.
The reason Washington wants to know everything about everyone is so that Washington can embarrass, blackmail, and frame on felony charges patriots who stand up in defense of the US Constitution and the rule of law, and dissidents who criticize Washington's illegal wars, reckless foreign policies, and oppression of American citizens.
Washington's demand for power has nothing to do with our security. It has to do with destroying the security that the US Constitution gives us.
Throughout the Syrian conflict, Ankara has been one of the most vocal detractors of the legitimately-elected Syrian government, consistently pushing for the ousting of President Assad and supporting radical groups within the country. The US government has partnered with Turkey against Syria since 2013, and only last week Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan referred to Assad as a "terrorist."
"He is a more advanced terrorist than a terrorist from the PYD or the YPG," the Turkish president told reporters. "He is a more advanced terrorist than Daesh."
But according to a speech given by Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim on Wednesday, Ankara may be seeking to mend ties with Damascus.
Comment: While Turkey thaws its relations with Russia, Syria and Israel, things are getting frosty with Germany after their recognition of the Armenian genocide:
Germany will recall its troops from Incirlik Airbase in Turkey if Ankara continues to block lawmakers from visiting soldiers, the vice chancellor announced. ... "The German Army answers to parliament," Sigmar Gabriel told Mitteldeutsche Zeitung newspaper, as quoted by Reuters." And if parliament cannot visit its army, then the army cannot stay there. This is absolutely clear."The Armenian genocide recognition is at least somewhat bluster, i.e., there's more to Turkey's ire than just that. For example, Russia has recognized the Armenian genocide at numerous times in the past (as recently as 2015), but that doesn't seem to put any blocker on their renewed relations.
Syria, too, has been sending some high-level negotiators to various EU nations, including:
- a trip by General Ali Mamelouk —coordinator of Syrian Secret Services — to Berlin;
- a trip by General Mohammed Dib Zaitoun — Director General of Syrian Security — to Rome;
- a trip by General Alberto Manenti — Director of the Agency on Intelligence and Foreign Affairs — by special plane from Rome to Damascus.

You're in Skopje at the moment, where the so-called "Colorful Revolution" has been ongoing for two months already. What are the real reasons and the goals behind this in the context of the geopolitical constellations in the region?
The "Colorful Revolution" that's presently ongoing in the Republic of Macedonia is nothing more than a Color Revolution masquerading as a "legitimate" civil society movement. It's really a foreign-supported regime change attempt that employs state-of-art political technologies inspired by the teachings of Gene Sharp, the godfather of this stratagem. Some participants and international observers genuinely believe that what's happening in Skopje is an organic initiative, but others are aware of its artificial nature and pursuit of ulterior motives. It doesn't take much effort for any neutral observer to find out which forces are pulling the protesters' strings, since much information has already been publicly released by the patriotic elements of the Macedonian media about the involvement of the Soros Foundation and the close coordination between the protesters and the US Embassy. Soros and his multitude of affiliated organizations provided the "seed funding" for organizing the wide assortment of "NGOs" that are leading the anti-government movement, and the billionaire philanthropist controls the finances that allow SDSM to pay protesters and bus them into Skopje from all across the country. These protesters, of course, are either "useful idiots" or willing conspirators like was already mentioned. They participate in these events for a few reasons, all of which could potentially overlap depending on the particular individual involved:
Comment: George Soros, NATO and the Western Color Revolution in Macedonia:
Soros' NGOs fund and operate organizations and movements that are revolutionary organizations designed to push a political agenda, change Macedonian culture, install puppet regimes, and ultimately serve the purpose of the Anglo-American oligarchy. George Soros' most well-known NGO, the Open Society Institute, is highly active in Macedonia and itself works with a plethora of "civil society organizations" throughout the country that function as the OSI (and hence the West's) tentacles in Macedonian society.
* the "Liberal-Democratic" ideology that Zaev and his handlers have been trying to brainwash people with through their control of various media apparatuses has succeeded in misleading a minority of the masses, a few of whom are attracted to the "romantic" idea of taking part in a "revolution" and egotistically relish the potential mainstream and social media attention that they could receive;
* some people have an immediate financial incentive to get paid a day's wages for only doing a few hours of active or passive work, such as "protesting" or attending "workshops", "training seminars", etc., respectively, and see their paid participation in the Color Revolution as an easy job that could go on indefinitely;
* and others are simply career opportunists that want to capitalize on what they believe will be a successful regime change operation and use this chance to ingratiate themselves with the forthcoming powers-to-be, angling to ascend to the halls of power on the backs of the misguided fools and paid "protesters" that they hope will help them get there.
Abu Qatada should indeed be a powerful symbol - but not the symbol he has become, a hate figure. He should rather be a symbol of the hate-filled and intolerant place Britain has become, and the dreadful injustice meted out to individuals both by the state and the media.
Abu Qatada spent, over a thirteen year period, a total of nine years in jail in England despite never being charged with any crime. It is not just that he was not convicted. He was never charged. Nine years, think about it. In all that time, neither he nor his lawyers were ever permitted to see the accusations or evidence against him.
This is the first time that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have operated openly on the Syrian side of the border since the beginning of the Syrian civil war some five years ago. No opposition or protest from Syrian President Bashar Assad in Damascus has been offered.
The IDF operation was ongoing as of Wednesday, July 12, on a stretch of terrain facing the Syrian town of Quneitra on one side, and the Israeli Golan village of Ein Zivan on the other. The enclave dividing the Golan between Israel and Syria is defined as a demilitarized zone (DMZ) under the military control of the UN Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) and the Syrian civilian administration, according to the 1974 armistice agreement. The zone is bound by two 10km strips of land to allow each side to maintain military strength. Within a 25km radius, no ground-to-air missiles can be launched from the DMZ.














Comment: The Dutch have been creating the perfect circumstances for a totalitarian society. And as has been said here on Sott previously, it's not as if
eugenicseuthanasia has not been used in the past to dispose of so-called "useless eaters". Nazi Germany comes to mind. It may start out as a choice, but in a totalitarian society that choice will be taken away.See also: Assisted suicide and the slippery slope towards eugenics and the thread on our forum.
