The Humiliation Is Complete: Assad Can Stay, Kerry Concedes After Meeting With Putin
Back on September 20 (so, a full ten days before a three star Russian general strolled into the US Embassy in Baghdad to let the US know that airstrikes in Syria “start in 1 hour”), we said that the US strategy in Syria had officially unraveled.
At the time, John Kerry had just concluded a meeting with British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond in London. "For the last year and a half we have said Assad has to go, but how long and what the modality is, that's a decision that has to be made in the context of the Geneva process and negotiation,” Kerry told reporters after the meeting. "It doesn't have to be on day one or month one [and] there is a process by which all the parties have to come together and reach an understanding of how this can best be achieved."
“That this a far, far cry from the hardline rhetoric the US was still clinging to just months ago,” we said, adding that “it marks a tacit recognition of what should have been obvious from the very beginning: the US backed effort to assist Qatar and the Saudis in destabilizing the Assad regime was doomed from the start.”
About a month later, ahead of talks in Vienna, WSJ said the following about Washington's plans for Assad:
The Obama administration entered a crucial round of international talks on Syria’s war prepared to accept a deal that leaves President Bashar al-Assad in place for several months or more during the transition to a new government.
The U.S. shift on the dictator’s future caps months of backtracking on the most significant obstacle to a resolution of the Syrian conflict. While U.S. officials once argued Mr. Assad couldn’t take part in a political transition, they have gradually eased that stance, eventually signaling he wouldn’t have to step down immediately. Now they are planning to negotiate the question of his future in talks being held Friday in Vienna.
The solution Washington sought to broker would “not prejudge the Assad question,” a senior administration official told The Journal.
Of course the Assad "question" has already been "prejudged" - only not by Washington or any of its regional allies. As we've been at pains to explain, Tehran isn't going to allow a US puppet government to be installed in Damascus. It's out of the question. Losing Damascus to Washington and worse, to Riyadh, would severely impair Iran's supply lines to Hezbollah and roll back Iranian influence in the region. For Russia, the stakes are also high. Moscow now has an air base and a naval base in Syria and establishing a foothold in Syria is the first step for The Kremlin on the way to supplanting the US as Mid-East superpower puppet master. In short, even is Assad himself ultimately abdicate, the regime (and our apologies for anyone who finds that term pejorative) will remain in one form or another.
On Tuesday, Kerry was in Russia for talks with Vladimir Putin. As Foreign Policy notes, America's top diplomat was "wicked psyched" that he found a Dunkin Donuts in Moscow:
As for negotiations with Putin over Syria, it appears the humiliation is now complete.
As AP reports, "U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday accepted Russia's long-standing demand that President Bashar Assad's future be determined by his own people, as Washington and Moscow edged toward putting aside years of disagreement over how to end Syria's civil war."
"The United States and our partners are not seeking so-called regime change," Kerry said, adding that the focus is no longer "on our differences about what can or cannot be done immediately about Assad."
In a testament to the fact that mainstream media is beginning to understand just how weak America's negotiating position has become, AP offered the following rather sarcastic assessment:
President Barack Obama first called on Assad to leave power in the summer of 2011, with "Assad must go" being a consistent rallying cry. Later, American officials allowed that he wouldn't have to resign on "Day One" of a transition. Now, no one can say when Assad might step down
Kerry also called demands by the "moderate" opposition that Assad step down before peace negotiations begin an "obvious nonstarter."
But even as Kerry and Sergei Lavrov hailed the talks as a "big negotiating day," Lavrov's de facto deputy, the sharp-tongued Maria Zakharova, stressed that "serious differences" remain between the US and Russia with regard to Syria.
One point of contention is Washington's insistence on differentiating between "moderate" and "non-moderate" elements operating to oust the Assad government.
That and other pressing issues are expected to be discussed next week in New York at what Kerry says will be a "major international conference" on Syria.
As for relations between Moscow and Washington, Kerry said this: "There is no policy of the United States, per se, to isolate Russia."
Right. No "per se" policy. So in other words, it may not be an explicit, de jure mandate, but it sure as hell seems like a tacit, de facto foreign policy position.

US exports donut franchises - Boy, if that doesn't scream "economic superpower", I don't know what does!....
A donut a day keeps the commies away.
Destroy them with sugar.
There's a new boss in town, and we ain't it.
Serious question here.
What would be the problem with the US, Russia and China working together to contain and isolate the ME?
NWOI, and only you would have a problem.
O wait you would not have a problem, you would have nothing but work.
Well, um, because one of them doesn't want that?
Because one of those countries is not its own boss and would have to ask permission.
nice so kind of back to the way it was then - only over 200.000 killed and large part of the population turned refugees in the civil war - well I guess it was worth a try
The biggest Russian bargaining chip for the ME, is, back-off or we make Iran a nuclear armed power in the region.
That stops everything. The games, the Saudis, Israel. The new game in town would then to be to ensure a sane leader in Iran.
All of a sudden Iran gest invited to all the negotiating tables.
US has nukes in Poland --why shouldn't Russians have nukes in Iran. The idiot Poles started WW2 by refusing to hand over Gdansk back to the germans, even when western media and leaders agreed they should. Unfortunately , Churchill and his Zionist handlers/sponsors had other ideas. The Poles can't be trusted any more than the iranians. Get nukes out of Poland, the ME, including Israel. That's the best solution.
Iran has not started any war in over 200 years
but has had plenty of dirt crap done to them
kinda like Germony
Poles ask for trouble
never seem to learn
Churchill was war criminal...big three war criminals at Yalta
Yeah , another master of east affairs on line.
No Us or Nato nukes in poland asshole. Thankx god.
About Gdansk is more complicated story, but You're rather historic ignorant or an idiot. Or both. So I'll spare You lecture. Let me tell You that if You think that would solve a problem - You should get You brain less washed away.
"The Poles can't be trusted any more than the iranians."
Perhaps, but they are consistent.
Here's a thought:
A young Polish man, born in Warsaw, was filled with hatred for Russia, much like many other Poles. The young man, called "Zbiggy" by his friends, came up with an effective idea to hurt Russia: Whip up extreme Islamic elements to fight Russia in Afghanistan, and hopefully destabilize Russia itself. He gave the idea to his friend, Jimmy, who used it.
It worked! Russia was damaged, and like all good Poles at the time, Zbiggy did his Happy Dance.
Remarkably, in spite of his far-sighted Polish intellect, the Polish genius Zbiggy may have overlooked the long term consequences of gathering together religious lunatics and heavily arming them.
Surprisingly, Zbiggy's policies have spurred an unexpected dramatic increase in European tourism, and now Europe has millions of new tourists who would like to stay there for an extended vacation. In light of the shortage of adequate accommodations, what can our European friends do to accommodate them?
Well, since this whole tourist issue resulted from the idea of a natural born citizen of Poland, and grew out of Polish hatred for Russia, one fair solution for Europe is to have Poland host ALL of the new tourists who would like to visit Europe. These are polite tourists who will adopt Polish culture and will never cause any burdens for their hosts.
There is also the possibility that many tourists also will visit the Good Ol' USA. I understand that there is very fine housing in Washingtion, DC, that they will find appealing.
The point is, we don't give the Poles enough credit for their contributions to humanity, but it is time to reward them for their fine work.
LOL! Fucking Lurch!
Sending a pussy boy to do mans job, you end up with shit.
In this case horseshit!
So Russia has taken the bait into the tar pit. With oil prices slated to drop even further, Pootin will be forced to scale back his commitmtnt in Syria. Did he really think he could supplant the US as superpower?
I don't know, 4 weeks 6 days, why don't you tell us what you think?
I don't know if he thinks that but I sure do.
Saying is one thing. Putting into practice is another. This could be just smoke and mirrors.
If America offers you her hand, bite it off at the shoulder.
Now now, we are all diplomats here, don't think of it as a humiliation, think of it as an insight.
Advisory: the word of the US means NOTHING.
So if Russia and U.S. relations normalize, that means alphahammer, dtsy and PutinLover are out of work?
Aww, man, I kinda feel sorry for those guys now, if anyone wants to donate to their redundancy package, heres the link..
@LatvianTrollsLivesMatter
it means that all of the fools that view putin as enemy, rather than partner, will finally wake up.....maybe
he's on the team.
Oh, thank goodness this is all settled. I've cared for nothing other than who rules Syria for, like, 2 years.
" Thanks for coming John. Help yourself to some candy on your way out"
- Vlad.
Hey John, why the long face?
"President Barack Obama first called on Assad to leave power in the summer of 2011, with "Assad must go" being a consistent rallying cry. Later, American officials allowed that he wouldn't have to resign on "Day One" of a transition. Now, no one can say when Assad might step down"...
Now just what were the reason(s) again on how all of this got started that ended with the migration of more than 6 million Syrians out of there own Country and the brutal murder of some 260,000 more and most importantly who was behind it ?...AND WHY isn't a war crimes tribunal being invoked for those who were behind the money in killing all of those innocent people saying "Assad must go"?!!!!
Somebody needed to pop a cap in horse face's head when he entered that Dunkin Donuts shop in Moscow!
Might as well because as long as the "rule of law" governs for the rest of the World out of the Hague the only justice that will be served is through "hit and runs"!!!!
Those who win the war write the history books!
Putin just used the Jedi mind trick on a weak mind
Humiliation? Now that the Ziohebes have got the West to effectively flatten & totally demoralize Syria & citizenry beyond comprehension they will simply move onto 'greener pastures' in their twisted evil crusade to completely destroy the Middle East & control Europe. Plus its about time for Zio's to play the 'whoa is me ... everyone is picking on me' self pity card to the world in order to engender sympathy, support & concern! Syria has been +110% mission accomplished baby!

coming soon -- israel extends border into syria
then maybe all of the dupes will 'get it'
Lurch has a plan B:
Send in James Taylor.
Little Bitches!
"I went all the way to Moscow and all I got was $500 of Dunkin Donuts?"
Assad? Don't make me laugh! This ungodly evil campaign by the Zionistas has been all about destroying the will, confidence & determination of the Syrian people! Now that Syria's people have been battered and are being air lifted & migrating in droves (6 mil at last count - funny how that infamous number keeps on popping up!) their 'special' Zio work is done! Signed, sealed and delivered! Time to conserve resources and energy and focus on their next 'target!' This party is only getting started!
Now would be a good time for China to add some "salt" to this fresh festering wound
Get it all over with just in time for Janet's bombshell drop
Obama still has time to bomb an eighth sovereign country while still in office.
Standard Disclaimer: I was perusing a few UK blogs last night. It wasn't difficult to come to the conclusion that the UK, as well as the rest of the EU, are completely fucked.
See what I mean?
"Syria's problems are caused by climate change"
"Syria's government needs to outgovern ISIS"
"Syria needs to build desalination plants immediately to relieve the water crisis caused by global warming"
Almost make one want to take up beheading as a job profession.
All just part of the 'confuse, conflict & conceal' campaign by the 'J' Boys in 'I-town!' They are the masters of disaster & deception! The Kenyan is just their little nappy headed 'lackie boy!' And the best part of the master plan is that the U.S. taxpayer gets to pick up the tab! The rest of the world gets to mop up the migration & humanitarian disaster! Nice deal for 'I-Town!'
No mention of Israel in the essay at all! That's a marker.
That's why it's so important to read the comments to these essays.
I thought for sure they'd mention ol' Kerry boy was of Austro-Hungarian Jewish heritage somewhere in there? Guess they forgot? J'Boys never show up for nothing unless there are assets to divide or self-interest is involved! Syria is left with the hole in that hebes donut!
When the United States starts talking "nice" I start getting worried!
Speaking of humiliation, this is priceless...
“Obama [is a] schmoe.”
Obama schmoe” has recently become an all-pervading part of Russian pop-culture. There are “Obama schmoe” bumper stickers (in addition to others, like “Obama is bad” and “Obama is the devil”)...
There are satellite photographs of the slogan in white paint on the runway of the Russian air base in Syrian Latakia. There, it serves as a background for Russian warplanes.

If true, this is hillarious!
Zbigniew Brzezinski is running US Foreign Policy, with a few touches from Paul Wolfowitz and of course Henry Kissinger.
If you read "The Grand Chessboard" it's so incredibly obvious what is going on here.
Putin's problem is he can't allow the US to set up a ring of dumpster fires around Russia's perimeter. This draws Russia into foreign wars Putin really wants no part of. Until now, Brzezinski's career high point was drawing the USSR into Afghanistan. Now he's doing it again. The Ukraine gambit didn't work, as Brzezinski himself probably expected, being a Galician by birth. If there's a crazier, more bloodthirsty group of people in the world than Galicians, I sure as hell can't think of them.
But now, with Turkish collusion all lined up, Russia has been drawn into Syria. This creates an explosive situation from Iran, through Iraq, Syria, Turkey, the entire Black Sea basin. Then there is the E.U.'s precarious energy dependency, which the US is manipulating by destroying Libya and sponsoring Boko Haram, in addition to the Ukraine hijinks, and preventing any other pipelines from the Middle East to Europe.
Today's vote to lift the ban on exporting US energy is part of the scheme. Create a new energy source for the E.U. and destroy the existing ones; then pull the rug out.
Posturing in the Spratly's aside, things are about to get much more violent for China soon enough. I'm expecting major "Sunni Extremist Terrorism" among what we'll politely pretend to be the Uighurs.
Seriously, download "The Grand Chessboard" from the dubiously-lawful torrent site of your choice. Don't give that vampire any money. Don't eat heavily before you read it, but definitely read it. The events of the past 40 years, and the next 10-20, will suddenly make a whole lot more sense.
Pretty much right on IMO! Although I think we will be seeing a pipeline from Qatar thru Iraq-Syria to Turkey & Europe before long! People, borders, traditions, language & culture are mere sacrifical pawns/lambs in this lethal self-serving geo-political structuring by our good friends & allies in 'I-town!
Sometimes I think as you, that the Qatar pipeline is likely. Other times, I remember that Brzezinski lists the rivals to US global supremacy as being any power in Eurasia, as to be the global Empire the US has to control, or at least manipulate, Eurasia. Those rivals would be Russia, China, and the E.U.
Too many people are suckers for the skin-color/culture scam and think somehow Europe is our ally, or the US is Europe's ally. Wrong. The US will only allow the Qatar pipeline if the US can cut it off at any moment without having to openly do it. I've also noticed how the chatter about US energy exports to the E.U. started and ramped up just as the US intervention in Ukraine did. The rationale is to cut Russia out of the business of selling energy to the E.U., by having the US do it. That puts E.U. survival completely in US hands. Even existing E.U. leaders can tell what a vulnerable position that would be.
You can be sure the enormus Qatar nat gaz deposit & future pipeline is already well secured in the hands of U.S. interests & of course our Hebrew friends! Nobody will be competing for anything! The people of Qatar are looking at a 15% royalty at best!
Nonsense - not going to happen - Iran & Russia would be dead no cash flow - if pipeline runs thru Syria for Qatar - they will NOT give Iraq / Syria / Ukraine to USA - The Zbig / Wolfowitz age is over!
Erdogan is going away within 15 months - civil war in Turkey a certainty - SA will be destablized as well - given to Sunni all over the world
the NWO is going to be tested
It's sure gonna be an awesum scrap - too bad we have to pay for it tho! Fasten yur seatbelts - it's gonna be a rocky ride! P.S. Russia has already signed a major pipeline with China that looks reasonably safe and secure! Iran on the other hand is another kettle of fish & looks to be more than a major thorn in the side of I-Town! Saudi is all Joo controlled & has been forever! They are about as Arab as you are!
Just when an humanitarian organisation says it has proof of Assad's continuing crimes provided by a deserter :

Happy Hanukkah Jew.
falak, is the figaro article targeted to french public on the fence about intensifying french military action against assad and not just ISIS?
If this is true we cannot now let the Saudi's and 34 other countries invade Syria. Syrian sovereignty must be respected.
In your dreams my friend! The Syrian domino has been toppled and many more to follow! Sovereignty is only as issue for the 'J-Boys!' Cattle are meant for slaughter!
If the Beheader's 34 do invade, there will not be any air support for them and their ground armor will be vulnerable to Russian and Syrian jets.
Should make interesting videos on Youtube to watch with your popcorn.
They'll be a box office hit ...
The Democrats and their messed up foreign policy. Dump the Democrats... they're idiots.
Nothing 'messed up' about U.S. foreign policy whatsoever. It is a precise strategic well-orchastrated campaign to disenfranchise & destroy & eventually recreate the Middle East into an image of themselves! The Axis of Departmental Evil has been successful beyond their wildest dreams! When you think U.S. foreign policy think 'J-Boy' Neocon self-interest & nothing more! Same deal if the Republicans get in - they got both bases covered! Try not to confuse U.S. foreign policy with helping defenseless people in need - that ain't their thing! Think more primetime evil in real-time!
Like the Republicans are any better. Not unless you're a Neocon Chicken Hawk.
The neocons run the foreign policy of both parties!
I'll bet Kerry put ketchup (or is that catsup) on his doughnut. That, or Warren Buffet ejaculated all over it - if he still can.
Seriously, Why are we in Syria now? If Kerry was telling the truth we'd be gone.
Under New Management!
Syria is like ipads and iphones - there's no future in it.
Syria is today what Spain was in the 30s
The warmup, undercard before the main event
the irony of russia persuading the usa that democracy is good is way too much to handle. i am going into my custom built rubber room for the day, maybe two.
The russians know they are speaking directly out of their ass. They've checkmated the neocons. interesting.
Oh good Assad can stay. And Putin should continue to supply Syria with advanced SU-400 and SU-300 surface to air missile systems. So that Syria becomes one of the most protected air defense systems in the world. Just in case the West changes its mind again.
It's possible that the Russians have a "super weapon" that can disable US military ships by zapping their electronics, anywhere any time.
Your not talking about USS Milwaukee are u?
That, and various rumors about a Russian super weapon. http://allnewspipeline.com/Has_Russia_Just_Changed_The_Future.php
You go to a beautiful city like Moscow. Then you drool over Dunkin Donuts.
Americans are beyond retarded.
What's next? On his next trip to Paris he'll drool over McDonalds?
He'll stop in Bavaria and ask for a Bud.
Think PR Photo-Op! Plays well with the phoney U.N. types & middle Amerika! The Hungarian Joo didn't show up to Dunkin' because he had a craving for a double chocolate covered cream filled thats for sure!
To paraphrase Will Rodgers
No Starbucks, comrade?
David Cameron the British PM has also been bawling "Assad must go" for a long time too.
He also has plenty of well-deserved egg on his face.
What irony.
Cameron will probably go before Assad does.
An American backpacker is traveling through the UK countryside when it starts to rain. He decides to wait out the storm in a nearby pub. The only other person at the bar is a well-dressed man staring into his pint. After a few moments of silence the man turns to the backpacker and says in a clear west country accent:
"I became the youngest British prime minister in almost two centuries, but do they call me Cameron the Energetic Young Prime Minister? No."
He continued "I made large-scale changes to welfare, immigration policy, education and healthcare. But do they call me Cameron the Reformer? No."
"And I was the first British Prime Minister ever to veto an EU economic treaty. But do they call me Cameron the Protector of the British economy? No."
"But ya fuck one pig.."
that ain't egg
Big question is what does the evil Saudi regime do now? And Qatar and the UAE, both funding/supporting terrorists in Syria. Then there's the fascist Erdogan in Turkey.
Evil is never bored. It always has something to do.
You think they are all starting to realize they can't trust any of their "partners in the ME/Arab world"? Is this the US/NATO way of slowing sneaking out the back door hoping nobody notices they left as the party turns to shit cuz the hosts are complete fuckin asshole nutjobs!?
Too many comments about going to DD. Rothschild told the both of them to go and get a photo op there, since it is part of the cabal of Zionists and Bildebergers. The donuts have a rechargable battery that replaces the one Kerry has, that emit signals back to Rothschild as to his locations. It's all pre-planned more than 100 years ago by Rothschild and the Zionists. Hitler had a microchip sewn to his right buttock so that Rothschild can tell him what to say. All with the help of the CIA/DoD/NSA/Men in Black underwear/Zionists/ Association of Jewish Furniture Renters/ Rotary Club/ NY State Dept. of Libraries. And one quick shout out to the anti-semites on this sight. Deutchland Uber Alles!!!
Let me guess...
Hmmm.....
Naive Libtard you are.
What does the Saudi regime do now?
Answer: Increase the funding for ISIS. And maybe create a new terrorist organization that is the successor to Al Qaeda and ISIS.
Lurch should leave victoria behind as a binder to what he has promised and if he goes back on his promise then Putin and his gang can eat her lunch :<
If they stick an apple in her mouth and roast her, they can feed a lot of hungry children.
John Kerry is the best man (or woman) in government.
The fact the cocksucker T Boone Pickens and the warmonger Jewmedia stuck us with Bush for 8 years instead of Kerry cost us trillions of dollars and tens of thousands of lives lost.
The Kenyan has bombed his 9th muslim country & 7th sovereign nation so far while the blood thirsty Hungarian Ketchup Joo State Dept insect has been in office! 'W' is a punk-ass compared to these hard-core assassins! And your Kenyan guy has doubled the national debt - and that wasn't easy!
There's a side of me that kind of agrees with you here. I can't help but think the seemingly half-assed incompetent appearance on the Ukraine/Syria (and they are certainly connected) foreign policy (and with regard to Russia in it of course) IS THE PLAN.
I have to onder if Kerry and Obama aren't going through the motions to appear to be doing the neo-con bidding Hitlary and that ilk started/continued and left them but in reality they are trying to get the F OUT. When we see it look like Putin is playing his pieces "like a master"...his moves seem like the only obvious ones to make and the US (as driver of NATO too) are always giving away their next moves way in advance.
It's certainly curious to watch. Imagine a world where the US/Europe/Russia/China can actually leave well enough alone sometimes and stay out of each business.
Don't confuse any of these with minds of sane, normal, caring or rational people! They are well beyond psychopathology or sociopathology & they surely won't be around to clean up any of the humanitarian mess they masterminded!
Kerry is just a six foot six crytpo-Jewish Dukakis. He was never gonna win. Couldn't even demand a recount when Ohio was stolen from him. He had a role to play, flop it to Bush's second term
Kerry won the popular vote by 3 million didn't he?
yes, he knew Ohio was his ... but seriously, he would have to be complete bonkers to want to take over from GW at that time, jan 2005. Iraq was rapidly becoming the most F((**&ed up invasion/occupation and obvious ....
I think I heard Kucinich talk about that once, he asked Kerry why he didn't challenge and Kerry was just like it wasn't his time...
Whom the gods would destroy, they first tell to say:
O/T: I learned (from the Drudge Report) that 'my' Senator (John McCainiac) has a Republican challenger to his Senate seat. As a registered (Ron Paul) Republican (and McCain hater), I shall be voting voting for the challenger(Dr Kelli Ward, State Senator) in the primary. McCain haters in Arizona who are not registered Republicans should consider so registering. Other McCain haters around the country might consider donating to Ward's campaign.

Number of Israelis Living in Golan Heights to Double Following Syrian Civil War
Over the next five years, Jewish settlement in the Golan Heights is expected to double itself, according to the expansion plans of Katzrin Local Council and the Golan Regional Council.
Yeah but they will build nice places for their friends and family! And the cost of land is next to nothing!
Kerry told Putin that Assad could stay but that we would be putting him on double secret probation
http://www.globalresearch.ca/guess-who-is-behind-the-islamic-state-israe...
Since 2013 and the escalation of Israeli attacks on Syria along the Golan Heights, claiming pursuit of “Hezbollah terrorists,” the UNDOF itself has been subject to massive attacks by ISIS or Al Qaeda’s Al Nusra Front terrorists in the Golan Heights for the first time since 1974, of kidnappings, of killings, of theft of UN weapons and ammunition, vehicles and other assets, and the looting and destruction of facilities. Someone obviously does not want UNDOF to remain policing the Golan Heights.
Israel and Golan Heights Oil
In his November 9 White House meeting with US President Obama, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu asked Washington to reconsider the fact that since the 1967 Six-Days’ War between Israel and the Arab countries, Israel has illegally occupied a significant part of the Golan Heights. In their meeting, Netanyahu, apparently without success, called on Obama to back formal Israeli annexation of the illegally-occupied Golan Heights, claiming that the absence of a functioning Syrian government “allows for different thinking” concerning the future status of the strategically important area.
Of course Netanyahu did not address in any honest way how Israeli IDF and other forces had been responsible for the absence of a functioning Syrian government by their support for ISIS and Al Nusra Front of Al Qaeda.
In 2013, when UNDOF began to document increasing contact between Israeli military and IS and Al Qaeda along the Golan Heights, a little-known Newark, New Jersey oil company, Genie Energy, with an Israeli daughter company, Afek Oil & Gas, began also moving into Golan Heights with permission of the Netanyahu government to explore for oil. That same year Israeli military engineers overhauled the forty-five mile border fence with Syria, replacing it with a steel barricade that included barbed wire, touch sensors, motion detectors, infrared cameras, and ground radar, putting it on par with the Wall Israel has constructed in the West Bank.
Interestingly enough, on October 8, Yuval Bartov, chief geologist from Genie Energy’s Israeli subsidiary, Afek Oil & Gas, told Israel’s Channel 2 TV that his company had found a major oil reservoir on the Golan Heights: “We’ve found an oil stratum 350 meters thick in the southern Golan Heights. On average worldwide, strata are 20 to 30 meters thick, and this is 10 times as large as that, so we are talking about significant quantities.” As I noted in an earlier article, the International Advisory Board of Genie Energy includes such notorious names as Dick Cheney, former CIA head and infamous neo-con James Woolsey, Jacob Lord Rothschild and others.
Of course no reasonable person in their right mind would suggest there might be a link between Israeli military dealings with the ISIS and other anti-Assad terrorists in Syria, especially in the Golan Heights, and the oil find of Genie Energy in the same place, and with Netanyahu’s latest Golan Heights “rethink” appeal to Obama. That would smell too much like “conspiracy theory” and all reasonable people know conspiracies don’t exist, only coincidences. Or? In fact, to paraphrase the immortal words of Brad Pitt in the role of West Virginia First Lieutenant Aldo Raine in the final scene of Tarantino’s brilliant film, Inglorious Basterds, it seems that ‘Ol Netanyahu and his pecker-suckin pals in the IDF and Mossad just got caught with their hands in a very dirty cookie jar in Syria.
Yeah but don't forget about the holocaust! It's been almost 48 hours since I last heard about it!
So the nonsense in Syria was all for nothing; the bombings, the deaths, the refugees, Paris, etc. etc. etc.
Just because the sociopaths couldn't come to an agreement earlier. Pure madness.

More regime change failure in Ukraine
Ukraine is now another Somalia in Europe

Crimea, where most residents are ethnic Russians, refused to recognize the legitimacy of authorities brought to power amid US & EU incited regime change riots during a coup in Ukraine in February 2014.
In mid-March last year, Crimea re-joined Russia following a referendum. More than 82% of the electorate took part in the vote. Over 96% backed splitting from Ukraine and spoke in favor of reuniting with Russia.
Ukraine is dead: http://thetruthspeaker.co/2015/04/19/10-reasons-ukraine-is-dead/
There’s no one who could make Ukraine one again. There’s no political figure who can unite the former country. No one elected or placed in Kiev could ever win the support of those regions which have broken away, by the very fact of their being connected to Kiev. No political figure would ever be elected in those seceded regions on a ‘united Ukraine’ platform.
There’s simply no one who can make Ukraine one again.
There will be a ‘Ukraine’, whatever that is, in the future. But the ‘Ukraine’, to some simply ‘the Ukraine’ is finished. It’s dead. The sooner those pro-Ukraine accept that, the more lives will be saved, the quicker they can find what, where, ‘Ukraine’ is, after all, and start to build that, rather than destroy whats left of the former Ukraine.
Regime change does not work. It didn't work in Libya, Iraq, Syria or Ukraine. Thanks to the Neocons these are all failed states run by thugs, warlords, terrorists and in Ukraine's case banderist neo-nazis and interpol wanted criminals.

The only thing preventing many Europeans from freezing to death this winter or any winter is Russian natural gas. Europe and Qatar wanted to build a nat gas pipeline through Syria ending Russia's energy influence over Europe. The US wanted Russia's influence over Europe ended. Assad did not support the pipeline so the allies decided he needed to go. Russia said no for obvious commercial reasons. Russia prevailed. Russia doesn't need nukes when they can simply turn a lever on a pipeline and freeze northern Europe to death. The rest of the stuff you read about Syria and Assad is 100% manufactured bullshit to sway the opinion of the average American who still reads newspapers and believes what's in them.
It was reported in the DWN that Merkel was still proclaiming "Assad Must Go!" Merkel needs to catch up. Or, Putin needs a grain of salt.
John Kohn, errrrr I mean Kerry, just sucked Putin's di@k. How's it taste, John?
Speaks volumes that CHICKENSHIT 'Horseface' Kerry can walk around like that in Moscow !!!
Don't be fooled by the photos. Those two guys, the one with the scarf and hat and the other looking into a window, you can bet were Kremlin Secret Service to make sure a DA like Kerry gets out alive and well so they can throttle him some more at the next meeting.
The Old Man
Kerry is a complete embarrassment to the USA. Where in the fuck is the leadership we elected to represent us????
Kerry couldn't beat dumbass George W Bush. What chance does he have against the Russians?
Lurch Kerry: Worst Sec'y of War since Hellary Clinton
Of course Skull & Bones, as we speak, are concocting an other satanist plan after disappearing MH370 downing MH17 and a Russian Sukhoi-24 most recently.
And now this: IMF recognizes Ukraine’s contested $3bn debt to Russia as sovereign
Routin for Putin.
Advantage Putin.
Kerry manages to be a sniveling prick even while admitting his administration is incompetent, war mongering assholes: "per se".
Russia has proof of US involvement in Turkey's shooting down their plane. Putin called Kerry and Nuland (aka Noodleman) to read them the riot act possibly saving the world from WWIII. Everywhere Nuland goes, death, destruction and rubblization follows. She and her neocon puppet masters may have FINALLY bitten off more than they can chew. History will record Putin as the neocon vampire killer.
We bomb the shit out of three countrys and all I got for it was this here dougnut.
Look its my IQ!
<-- Americans are no friends of anybody
When they pretend to have friendly hug,
know that they would stab you in back
then rob you & leave you to bleed to death
You are gravely mistaken on this.
The average Americans are humble and willing to live support with other nations citizen.I have my elders there,one of brother is cab driver and has lot of experience with them while he is at work.I asked him this question "Are all Americans are like this bad,...etc?" He answered me He never seen such humble and kind people. Even black Americans at times do bad.Most of them didn't know what is going on or what their country is doing.This is true for most countries in world the peoples are good and the problem is on the government.When corporate run the government this is the result.
Can't agree with that.
In my view your comments may refer to the American political elites, associated crony banksters and Deep State apparatchiks.
It does not generally apply to many American people who are - like so many people in other countries - good decent folks who show generosity and compassion towards others, especially in times of disasters.
We all need to face reality that our political elites do not fairly represent the views of their own citizens.
If you like your Assad you can keep your Assad...
Shouldn't Kerry be arrested as an accessory to murder for the State Department botched investigation of the female shooter in California? Fourteen dead and not one word from this asshole.
