Geopolitcal Risk Off

From Reuters:

PRESIDENT BASHAR AL-ASSAD LOYALISTS BREAK INTO U.S. EMBASSY COMPOUND IN DAMASCUS-DIPLOMATS IN SYRIAN CAPITAL

And getting worse per RanSquawk:

French Embassy guards fire live ammunition to repulse crowd loyal to president Assad on Embassy compound in Damascus

Some more:

The United States accused Syria of having
organized an angry 31-hour protest outside the U.S. Embassy in Damascus
over the weekend while the U.S. ambassador told the foreign minister
that such anti-American "incitement" must stop.

Syria earlier on
Sunday said it had summoned the envoys of the United States and France
in Damascus to protest their visit to the restive city of Hama last week
without clearance from the authorities.

The Hama visit by U.S.
Ambassador Robert Ford and French Ambassador Eric Chevallier was a
"clear evidence of the American and French intervention in Syria's
internal affairs," Syria's news agency SANA quoted the foreign ministry
as saying.

In Washington, the State Department said the Syrian
government chose to protest Ford's trip to Hama by organizing a a
protest outside the embassy that lasted 31 hours on Friday and Saturday
with protesters hurling tomatoes, eggs, glass and rocks.

Two embassy employees were struck by food, the department said in a written reply to queries.

The department said Ford registered U.S. displeasure with these events
in an already-scheduled Sunday meeting with Syrian Foreign Minister
Walid al-Moualem.

It said the meeting had been requested by the U.S. Embassy and scheduled since Thursday.

"Ambassador Ford was not summoned by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs," the State Department said.

Hama has been the site of some of the biggest demonstrations seeking to
oust Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. He sent security forces back
into the city and ringed it with tanks this week.

U.S. President
Barack Obama has reacted gingerly so far to the protests in Syria, part
of a wave of unrest in the Arab world that toppled rulers in Egypt and
Tunisia and led to NATO involvement in a civil war in Libya.

Obama has said Assad must either lead reforms in Syria or get out of the
way. Ford's visit to Hama marked a symbolic strengthening of U.S.
support for peaceful protesters' goals and methods.

OFFICIAL COMPLAINT

Moualem at the session
in Damascus on Sunday filed an official complaint with Ford regarding
his visit to Hama, the State Department said.

At the same
meeting, Ford "made clear that Syrian government incitement of Syrians
against the United States, including through aggressive protesters in
front of the embassy, must stop."

"The Syrian government must not
use his visit to Hama - meant only to gather information and support
freedom of expression - as propaganda," the department said.

Ford
called on the Syrian government to meet its responsibility under the
Vienna Convention to protect diplomats and diplomatic facilities, the
department said.

Mon, 07/11/2011 - 15:41 | 1445040 Urban Redneck

Actually no. The shoe thing was worse, 1) it was a Head of State and 2) it was Arabs throwing the shoes.

The US press corps didn't make much of the show of disrespect, however, I don't think they would have the subdued reaction if the White House press corps donned white robes and hoods and started throwing watermelons and fried chicken at Barry during his next press conference.

The irony being that while the connotations of the action would be analogous across cultures, the douche-bag politically correct cunts of the 4th estate would demonstrate their utter misunderstanding and camouflaged contempt and of self-superiority over foreign cultures by virtue of not responding in the same fashion as they did over the shoe incident.

Mon, 07/11/2011 - 10:35 | 1443618 High Plains Drifter

why do you think the Shah was deposed? was it just something that happened because the Iranian people wanted him gone? I can tell you this. Nothing happens by accident? There is very little that happens in this world, that is not controlled from start to finish. the middle east is full of useful idiots that say yes to a few shekels and do what they are told, just like it is here. I can tell you this. The Shah was no walk in the park, believe me, but he like so many was created and then put in office by parties unknown (yeh sure) and then he made the mistake of growing a pair and started thinking nationalistic thoughts etc. His problem was he wandered off the reservation and he started reading his own script. This made him expendible. then one day, there was a revolution supposedly lead by a mullah from Paris......Khomeini. so then, iran began its walk backwards in the pursuit of knowledge and nationalistic thought and endeavors...iran went from secular to religious fanatic and for certain parties, this was just fine. they turned inward, instead of reaching outward. they became a pariah state in the world. this was necessary for the next time they would be needed and that time is coming again soon.

Mon, 07/11/2011 - 10:43 | 1443657 Oh regional Indian

Good stuff HPD. While many ere might know this, most people are deaf and dumb to history.

Not sure the Shah grew a pair though. It was just time to take it to a theocracy and he was a weak and spineless puppet anyways.

Mossadegh had grown a pair. In 1953

Just like Allende 20 years later, in 1973, Chile.

Pinochet, khomeini, Zial-ul-Haq (Pakistan), Saddam.....

puppets, all.

yeh maybe you are right. maybe it was just time for a change, like it was in egypt. i mean mubarak got his ticket punched in all of the right places. he did what was told. he did the correct handshake. he thought he was in the clique. but in the end, he found out, he was just a very minor cog and could be destroyed at someone's whim, as if it was just so much dust in the wind. and so he was. the same thing happened to the shah. can you just imagine the thoughts going through their minds as this happens. how can this happen? i have done what they told me to do? yet they destroy me. the only thing i can say, is if you dance with the devil you will get burned.......this should be a lesson to all goyim and useful idiots.......when the time is right, you too will be eliminated.

Mon, 07/11/2011 - 12:34 | 1444255 High Plains Drifter

just watch what happens when the music stops as they run around trying to find a chair to sit in.......i am reminded of the quote from the prominent zionist

Yitzchak Greenbaum,

“one cow in Palestine was worth more than all the Jews in Poland.”

or David Ben-Gurion who said in 1938:

"If I knew it was possible to save all the children in Germany by taking them to England, and only half of the children by taking them to Eretz Israel, I would choose the second solution. For we must take into account not only the lives of these children but also the history of the people of Israel."

so we see, that jews must die, for the good of world jewry and the new world order. but they think they are members in good standing of the tribe but in reality , are cannon fodder being used to establish one world government. they like so many goyim in this world who bow the knee and kiss the ring, think that somehow they are members in good standing of the secret club and are in the big game. nothing could be farther from the truth. but you can't talk to them about it. they won't listen. they are tribally motivated and racially motivated as they have been taught by their controllers, the rabbinical class and this is done on purpose as well. they are told they are God's chosen and that they will rule the world, which is a lie. Many of them will die just like everyone else but they think that just because the ones at the top of the pyramid communicate in a similar way, or so it seems, to the way they do and perhaps, in a way, think, like they do, that their lot will also be in control during the days of world government. i can say this. the ones at the top, even though they are of the same tribe, do not give one good damn about them, anymore than they do anyone else for that matter. so yes, you are correct, there is no loyality among thieves.

Manufactured consent followed closely by learned helplessness. Awesome i am so proud to be an American right now. If tomorrow all the things were gone,

I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,

I’d thank my lucky stars,
to be livin here today.
‘ Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can’t take that away.

And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.

From Detroit down to Houston,
and New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand and say.

That I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

i always find it interesting how these lyndon la rouche types seemed to have appended themselves to alternative media for some reason. if you ever notice, he does a lot of talking, but nothing important is ever said, kind of like alex jones.......same game, different name. the "patriot movement" is full of deceipt. on this you can be sure. this is the game that is played. this is the life that we lead. this is the world that we live in. such things as usual must be taken for granted now and in the future.

I'm selling all of my beans, bullets and bullion to diversify into NFLX and LNKD; of course, I'll keep 10% in cash for now - I'll need the buying power when Facebook goes public.

"French Embassy guards fire live ammunition to repulse crowd loyal to president Assad on Embassy compound in Damascus."

Who would have ever thought the French have more balls than the "Bullshit" Barry Soetoro/ "Hard Ass" Hillary Clinton led Amerikan State department...

I'm surprised that no-one has mentioned the phantom (but oh-so-touching) lesbian blogger... which was easy to spot, and given appropriate media attention (attempts to get hipsters involved; it's working "ok").

Shades of the Ma?d?n getting used & abused again - 13 year old kids & singers paying a real price while 'Scottish man with links to another phantom marine lesbian' are getting paid to start the fires.
