A Russian TV crew has managed to obtain video proof of Turkey's increased military presence on the Syrian border, as it filmed fortifications and tanks on the frontier.

The lodgments are heavily fortified by tanks and self-propelled guns, REN-TV crew reported from the scene.

Shells and other ammunition are being delivered to the Turkish positions, which are shelling Kurdish forces in Syrian territory, according to the report.

"The barrels of the tanks and self-propelled guns are pointed in the direction of the mainly Kurdish Syrian city of Kobane," the journalist said.

The Russian ceasefire monitoring center near Latakia says it is verifying reports of an attack on the Kurdish town Tell Abyad in northern Syria carried out by militants coming from Turkey. The reports came overnight and claim that the forces coming from Turkey are using heavy artillery, according to Lt. Gen. Sergey Kuralenko, who heads the center for Syrian reconciliation. "This information was verified through multiple channels, including representatives of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), [a rebel alliance that includes Kurds, Arabs and other ethnic groups and operates in the region]," he said.

A senior official from Syria's main opposition group said on Monday that the first major attempt to halt the fighting after nearly five years of war was in danger of total collapse because of attacks by government forces.

The cessation of hostilities drawn up by the United States and Russia, faced "complete nullification" because Syrian government attacks were violating the agreement, the official of the Saudi-backed opposition High Negotiations Committee (HNC) said.

France said there were reports of attacks on opposition forces in breach of the deal, which came into force on Saturday, and countries backing the Syria peace process would meet later on Monday to try to clarify the situation.

Greek economist Yanis Varoufakis to advise Corbyn's Labour Party

RT
Mon, 29 Feb 2016 13:47 UTC

Marxist economist Yanis Varoufakis, who previously accused EU creditors of financial terrorism, will advise the Labour Party on how to challenge the Tories' austerity policies, Jeremy Corbyn has revealed.

The former Greek finance minister resigned from Greece's left-leaning Syriza party in 2015 over its leader Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras's capitulation to the third, and toughest, bailout package proposed by the Troika (IMF-ECB-EC).

The controversial deal demanded further austerity at the height of Greece's financial turmoil, and was branded unsustainable by economists worldwide. Varoufakis, who is now a professor of economics theory at the University of Athens, accused EU creditors of ruthless manipulation at the time.

In the early stages of imploding economy, cashless society, possible nuclear war

The beginning of 2016 revealed what some have known for quite some time - financial markets are an epic disaster just waiting to be realized. With stock indexes having rebounded somewhat since the initial meltdown, financial pundits and mainstream analysts would have us believe that the worst of it has passed. But don't be fooled, warns Economic Collapse Blog publisher Michael Snyder in his latest interview with Future Money Trends, because we're still in the early chapters of what may be the most devastating financial, economic and monetary collapse in history:

A total of $16.5 trillion dollars had been wiped out from stock markets around the world... that doesn't even count bonds and other things. So we have seen this massive amount of wealth wiped out globally... almost as much as the U.S. national debt.

Of course, the past few days we've seen a bounce back... markets never go down in a straight line... If you go back to 2008, the two best days in terms of a point increase in U.S. stock market history were right in the middle of the Crash of 2008... just because stocks go up for a day or two does not mean the crisis is over.

In my perspective we're still in the early chapters... all of the red flags are still screaming that a lot more is to come... the entire global economy is imploding.

As the collapse takes hold we can expect unprecedented maneuvers from our monetary masters. With central banks preparing to introduce negative interest rates, for example, savers and bank account holders will actually be paying for the privilege of keeping their money in the bank. The likely response, as we witnessed with a run on personal safes in Japan, is that people will simply take their money out of the bank and hold it in cash.

Comment: The future does certainly look bleak with major changes on the way. One could hope that people in general would wake up before the implementation of the worst of it, yet it seems only a major shock to their collective lives could provide the impetus to awaken them to the reality being created. It seems therefore that TPTB will proceed, if at all possible, with the slow grinding decent toward total control financially and economically and possibly a wider war in order to give justification for the final stages of their plan, such as a cashless society.

Whatever happens and whatever TPTB do to divide and inflame hatred among people in order to fulfill their plans remember to stay human and hold on to that which the puppet masters lack - truth, compassion, conscience and the valuing of helping others.

Erdogan & his ISIS troops attack the 'wrong' Kurds in Syria, US actually retaliates

Finally it has happened. Finally Erdogan has pushed the envelope so far that Washington not only stood its ground but pounded his assets into minced meat. As we reported this Saturday ISIS militants made a push for for the Kurdish held town of Tel Abyad on the Syrian-Turkish border from Turkish territory.

And it's not us saying these guys are ISIS, it's Reuters, the anti-Assad Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, and Sky News.

In other words Erdogan had staged its own Bay of Pigs style invasion of Syria - but using ISIS as its Cuban exiles. This was too much even for the United States (or at least the Pentagon) which promptly dispatched planes to back the Kurds.

US-Russia ceasefire will allow Syrian army to regroup and crack down on ISIS

The Syrian Army may regroup and focus on fighting Daesh terrorists as the ceasefire is being observed by the opposing sides in Syria, according to Russian military expert Alexander Perendzhiyev.

In an interview with RIA Novosti, Russian military expert Alexander Perendzhiyev suggested that the ongoing ceasefire in Syria may prompt the country's army to regroup and concentrate on a crackdown against Daesh.

"Regrouping the Syrian Army amid the ceasefire and the desire of some opposition forces to support President Bashar Assad in the fight against international terrorism may help Syria do away with Daesh occupation," Perendzhiev said.

Chechen President Kadyrov says he is stepping down

RT
Mon, 29 Feb 2016 07:52 UTC

Ramzan Kadyrov, whose tenure as the President of the Chechen Republic expires in April, said he would step down from his office and end his political career. Earlier, Kadyrov leaked an opposition report that called him a threat to Russia's security. "My time is past. Every human has a limit. I believe Kadyrov has passed his peak," the Chechen leader said, referring to himself in the third person, in an interview on Saturday.

Kadyrov has been the president of Chechnya, a southern Russian republic with a turbulent and violent history, since 2007. Before that he served for two years as republic's prime minister and held several other significant posts related to security and governance before that. Speaking to NTV television, Kadyrov refused to speculate who could become president of Chechnya after him, saying his team had plenty of strong candidates. He said would not seek a position in the Russian federal government.

"Family, personal life, Islamic studies - that's where I see myself. If there is a need for me to take in hands a shovel, an assault rifle or a backpack - I can do that," he said, adding that he believes that he's done his duty to his people. After the interview, some Chechen public figures called for mass rallies to plead with Kadyrov to stay in power, but on Sunday he asked them not to do it. "Of course, I am happy to see this public support," Kadyrov said. "It proves once more that a man should dedicate his life to his people. That's not what I voiced my opinion for," he wrote on his Instagram account, which he often uses to convey messages online.

Kadyrov's shock announcement came days after liberal opposition politician Ilya Yashin published a report, in which he called Kadyrov a threat to Russia's national security. He accused the Chechen leader of separatism, saying he has a private army, imposes Sharia law in Chechnya in violation of Russian and maintains a lavish lifestyle funded by embezzled money.

Ironically, the report was leaked online by Kadyrov himself hours before its release. The Chechen leader said the report was blather and that he wanted everyone to see his disregard for it.

Covert destabilization: How Washington's refugee crisis is being used to coerce the EU

A disposable pawn in a grander game of chess, the EU stands these days at the mercy of a very potent threat: destabilization by mass-migration.

With wars raging across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), the world has grown accustomed, desensitized to the litany of human tragedies: the death, the maiming, the human exodus which terror's armies generated... In blood and on fire, countries were seen to fall to the hands of barbaric militias, the products we were told of regimes' inability to reform their institutions.

In light of this ongoing tragedy, I want to discuss the by-product of war - the mass migration the likes of ISIS and its sisters in arms have worked so very hard to manifest, so that their patrons and financiers could wield a new weapon of mass-destabilization, co-opting governments to do their bidding.

Comment: Thanks to this 'covert destabilization' the EU looks and sounds more like post-Euromaidan Ukraine every day.

Further reading:

According to recent polls, a majority of people in Finland have swallowed the NATO-team's narrative that Russia is an undemocratic rogue state. With this false belief in place, Russia and Putin are also now being connected with the right-wing extremism and fascism that is arising across Europe. [...]

On the back of the hysterical claims by European and US politicians about Russia planning to invade Europe, and the refugee crisis caused by US warmongering in the Middle East, street patrols made up of right-wing racists have recently made an appearance in Finland.

Covert affairs: UK deploys special forces commandos to Libya, tackle Daesh

Sputnik

The United Kingdom has secretly deployed a group of special forces commandos to advise Libya on repelling the Daesh advance, Western officials and sources on the ground told British media. A "small number" of British advisers are said to be working "very much in the background" alongside US counterparts in Misrata, sources told The Telegraph daily late Saturday. US military operatives have reportedly begun "giving tactical training" to select local militias earlier, according to the daily.

Libya has been in a state of turmoil since the 2011 Arab Spring movement, which later led to a civil war and the overthrow of the country's leader Muammar Gaddafi. The instability in the country facilitated the emergence of numerous militant groups, particularly Daesh, which is outlawed in many countries, including the United States and Russia.

US forces are known to carry out regular drone strikes against Daesh targets over Libya. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said this week President Barack Obama planned to address the terrorist organization's advances in Libya with top military officials.

Also this week, Libyan military officials said 15 French special forces members have been assisting national troops in fighting the extremists in Benghazi for two months.

Comment: How grand of the UK to secretly deploy advisors to Libya, again. The instability in Libya was expedited by US/UK air strikes, assisted by France, with the ultimate goal to overthrow/murder Gaddafi. It was presented to the Western public, after the fact, as 'humanitarian intervention.' Look no farther than US/UK/Israel regarding responsibility for the "emergence" of Daesh (ISIS) as their proxy tool. Who would know better how to handle them than those who provided their training.
