At the end of April an influential Jihadist scholar in Syria, Sheikh Abdallah Muhammad al Muhaysini, launched a new recruiting campaign. A few days later al-Qaeda's leader Ayman az-Zawahiri also called for all Muslims to join Jihad in Syria. The son of Osama Bin Laden, Hamza, also issued such a call. This is an unprecedented recruiting campaign which points to new upcoming offensives.Dear moderate Jihadis in Syria,
your cooperation with al-Qaeda terrorists is fine with me.
But please cover it up.
Thx
Your Jihad advisor

Indeed, if the ongoing war in Syria, and the conflicts of the post-Arab Spring period generally, have taught us anything, it is the power of propaganda and public relations to shape narratives which in turn impact political events. Given the awesome power of information in the postmodern political landscape, it should come as no surprise that both the US and UK have become world leaders in government-sponsored propaganda masquerading as legitimate, grassroots political and social expression.

The German newspaper explains that the terrorist group, which emerged as the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda in 2012, has provided "Daesh (ISIL) militants in Syria with stiff competition in its own fundamentalist ranks: now, the leader of the Nusra Front has also proclaimed the creation of his own 'state'."
Showcasing the rivalry that has developed between the two terror groups to be perceived as the true adherents of fundamentalist purism, al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri emphasized in a new 10-minute audio recording that the 'new caliphate' would have nothing to do with the "renegades and extremists" from Daesh.
Comment: This is so rich. If al-Zawahiri is even still kicking, it should be kept in mind that he has been a CIA asset for decades. Post Afghanistan, he was meeting with the likes of Saudi Prince Bandar and then Ambassador to Turkey Marc Grossman (current special rep. for Afghanistan and Pakistan, former Assistant Secretary of State) in Baku, Azerbaijan, in the late-90s.
Comment: With that in mind, consider this: Pentagon plan: Convert Daesh caliphate into US-backed Syrian rebel redoubt
"There is no doubt that people around the world have been marked by this disaster and have been very generous in their offers of support, but the reality is with all of the assistance of people across this country, we don't need help from other countries at this time," he said as cited by the Canadian Press.
Last week Russia's Emergency Ministry offered to provide heavy water bombers and specialized crews to facilitate the out-of-control inferno taking place near Fort McMurray. Other offers came from the US, Mexico, Australia, Taiwan, and Israel as well as from Palestinians.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that he truly appreciated the willingness of the international community to help, but stressed that there was no need for it as there are already water bombers and firefighters from several of the country's provinces ready and available, for example Ontario and Quebec.
Comment: Canadians should recognize the Prime Minister's idiocy in refusing help in this catastrophic situation and immediately begin efforts to have him removed from office, as he clearly does not represent the best interests of the people.
Strategic Vision
Xinjiang is the global intersection point for most of China's Eurasian Silk Road projects, and it's thus of the highest importance that the frontier region remains stable and prosperous in order to function as the ultimate juncture of the 21st century's transcontinental infrastructure projects. While foreign-supported terrorism and the proselytization of violent ideologies are certainly a challenge in the area, what most directly affects the population's sympathies towards the central government are more immediate concerns such as their standard of living. The countless material products that are expected to pass through the region and tangentially enrich it can only do so much in improving one's livelihood if there are potentially pressing problems with water availability to the local citizens.
At this moment in time, the Chinese government has been doing a phenomenal job ensuring that the people of Xinjiang are taken care of by providing for all of their needs, but Beijing is also keen enough to plan ahead several decades in advance in order to preempt as many forthcoming challenges as possible. Considering the recent drought and unpredictable global climactic changes, China has legitimate fears that the current environmental difficulties could be exacerbated in the future. Needing to keep Xinjiang as stable and prosperous as possible in order to facilitate its grander goals of pan-Eurasian integration through the New Silk Road, China and Russia came up with the idea of using Kazakhstan to geographically facilitate the transfer of mountain river water from Altai Krai to Xinjiang's deserts.

"Certain shifts do exist on this issue but we must admit for truth's sake the Americans continue claiming he [Assad] has no political future and hence he must go," Gatilov said. "Along with it, they try to press us into stating the importance of his resignation at the end of the talks and into the necessity of a transition period."
He indicated however that Assad's withdrawal from power was not a condition for talks on peace settlement in Syria anymore while previously the Americans insisted on the impossibility of any negotiations until Assad left.
On the face of it, Russia continued saying the prerogative to decide on the president's destiny belonged to the Syrian people.
"The parties to the talks should decide on Assad's destiny in the context of the same talks and on the condition all the political forces present in Syria will be sitting at the conference table, the forces that have the right to make decisions on their country's future," Gatilov said.

French Prime Minister Manuel Valls announces the decision to bypass parliament and impose a relaxation of the country's protective labour laws by decree at the National Assembly in Paris, France, May 10, 2016.
French Prime Minister Manuel Valls announces the decision to bypass parliament and impose a relaxation of the country's protective labour laws by decree at the National Assembly in Paris, France, May 10, 2016.
"Because the country must move forward, the cabinet has authorized me to act on behalf of the government," Prime Minister Manuel Valls told parliament to a mixture of boos and cheers.
Article 49.3 of the French constitution has been used fewer than 90 times since its inception in 1958, and was previously applied by the current government to push through a controversial economic reform plan last year, as well as on two other occasions.
The only way to void it would be to produce a no-confidence vote in the government in the coming 24 hours. Major right-wing opposition parties have already started proceedings, though the bill is unlikely to gain enough support.
Although watered down after months of bruising negotiations, the proposed reform would make it more practical for employers to prolong the 35-hour working week, cheaper to lay off staff, and easier to overpower unions.

A few goals are certain and openly admitted. The globalists ultimately want to diminish or erase the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency. They most definitely are seeking to establish the International Monetary Fund's Special Drawing Rights basket system as a replacement for the dollar system; this plan was even outlined in the Rothschild run magazine The Economist in 1988. They want to consolidate economic governance, moving away from a franchise system of national central banks into a single global monetary authority, most likely under the IMF or the Bank for International Settlements. And, they consistently argue for the centralization of political power in the name of removing legislative barriers to safer financial regulation.
These are not "theories" of fiscal change, these are facts behind the globalist methodology. When the IMF mentions the "great global reset," the above changes are a part of what they are referring to.
Comment: The so called 'elites' do seem poised to sow economic chaos and foment a crisis in order to meet their agenda of full control and domination of the world and its people. They have benefited from a corrupt system they have implemented over the last 100 years and would seek to have an even greater benefit from its transition to something different. The planned result may very well match what the author describes in this article.
What he fails to take into account, since in past articles he lumps Russia as going along with these plans and the current geopolitical turmoil as just theater, is the appearance of Putin on the world stage in opposition to the West's agenda. It is possible Putin is lying in wait to counteract or commandeer the above mentioned agenda in support of championing the cause of greater humanity.
Finally, although the 'elites' may have their plans and have some idea of the changing weather and cosmic environment, as mentioned in the comment at the end of this article, they are likely to have greatly underestimated and be blindsided by the reaction the universe may have in store in terms of bringing order to the chaos they create and peace from the suffering inherent in such a vile plan.
This is the X-factor or context that we must bear in mind - earth changes and macrocosmic change that may possible for those who are tuned in to it. In light of these even larger changes, the "global reset" may be viewed as just yet another strategy in the pathological toolbox of the elites who would seek to keep humanity subjugated and locked down to do their bidding. But the author is correct when he says that the people who will build tomorrow must come from the "free people of conscience": These would be individuals who can look at and share the whole picture of what they see, and act based on objective reality that takes everything into account.
Comment: Meanwhile, the Turk who claimed responsibility for killing the Russian pilot in Syria was cleared of all charges in a Turkish court for the murder. Contradicting his earlier statements, he argued that he repeatedly ordered his militants to take the pilot prisoner. Celik's lawyer had this to say: Simple: they're all guilty, of one crime or another. How about attempted murder?
