ABC Reports Russian Troops Have Arrived In Syria, Russia Denies
Earlier today, Al Arabiya made waves in the energy market following reports that a Russian ship carrying special forces had arrived in the Syrian port of Tartus, previously demonstrated here to be a key strategic asset in the Mediterranean. This news was promptly denied by RIA, which said that "there were no Russian military ships off Syria coast" and that the Iman ship is a tanker which is merely conducting resource support functions. Furthermore, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the crew of Iman consists solely of "civilian personnel, which is being guarded." That may or may not be the case, but has not stopped ABC from blasting, minutes ago, a headline that "Russian anti-terror troops arrive in Syria" a development that a "United Nations Security Council source told ABC News was "a bomb" certain to have serious repercussions." Which begs the question: is everyone now dead set on having war in Syria, and by proxy, Iran?
From ABC:
Russia, one of President Bashar al-Assad's strongest allies despite international condemnation of the government's violent crackdown on the country's uprising, has repeatedly blocked the United Nations Security Council's attempts to halt the violence, accusing the U.S. and its allies of trying to start another war.
Now the Russian Black Sea fleet's Iman tanker has arrived in the Syrian port of Tartus on the Mediterranean Sea with an anti-terror squad from the Russian Marines aboard according to the Interfax news agency. The Assad government has insisted it is fighting a terrorist insurgency.
The Iman replaced another Russian ship "which had been sent to Syria for demonstrating (sic) the Russian presence in the turbulent region and possible evacuation of Russian citizens," the Black Sea Fleet told Interfax.
Here is where ABC's report gets a little screwy:
RIA Novosti, a news outlet with strong ties to the Kremlin, trumpeted the news in a banner headline that appeared only on its Arabic language website. The Russian embassy to the U.S. and to the U.N. had no comment, saying they have "no particular information on" the arrival of a Russian anti-terrorism squad to Syria.
Actually no, here is what RIA did say about the development, google translated: (original can be found here)
Defense Ministry denied the information circulated a number of media that the coast of Syria are ostensibly Russian warships.
"No Russian warships, performing tasks from the shores of Syria, no. In the Syrian port of Tartus 10 days of the ship auxiliary fleet tanker" Iman "which performs the tasks logistics - the replenishment of fuel and food - of the Black Sea and Northern Fleets, which provides security shipping in the Gulf of Aden anti-piracy ", - told RIA Novosti representative of management information and the Defense Ministry.
Previously, some Russian and foreign media reported that the Black Sea Fleet tanker "Iman" on board which is a group of Marines, ostensibly to perform combat missions off the coast of Syria.
Which is rather odd - one would imagine that when reporting on such potential warmongering scenarios fact-checking would be rather important. It appears not.
Either way, ABC continues:
Last week Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Russia had no plans to send troops to Syria.
"As for the question whether I consider it necessary to confront the United States in Syria and ensure our military presence there… in order to take part in military actions -- no. I believe this would be against Russia's national interests," Lavrov told lawmakers, according to RIA Novosti.
So... Buy crude or yes? Because it has been a whopping 48 hours since we heard anything from Israel ever since its security council proceeded to give the go ahead in a 8-6 vote to attack Iran.

The rest is all smoke and mirriors - probably labeled soon as "humanitarian".

That appears to be a bottle of water. As for the Empire's effort to break the Shia Crescent by overthrowing Assad - and thus cut off Hezbollah from Iran - it's not going well at all, Russian Marines or no. And failure in Syria predicts to the eventual outcome of the upcoming Isramerican attack on Iran as well: a devastating defeat, leading to the collapse of the Zionist entity in Palestine, a global run on the dollar, DollarCollapse, debt-Ponzi collapse, and Civil War in America. No Worries. These things happen from time to time.

Tyler,
Last week you ran a thread on the new NSA building in Utah - operation 'Stellar Wind.'
Have you heard of this new exec order;
"...On March 16th, President Obama signed a new Executive Order which expands upon a prior order issued in 1950 for Disaster Preparedness, and gives the office of the President complete control over all the resources in the United States in times of war or emergency.
The National Defense Resources Preparedness order gives the Executive Branch the power to control and allocate energy, production, transportation, food, and even water resources by decree under the auspices of national defense and national security. The order is not limited to wartime implementation, as one of the order's functions includes the command and control of resources in peacetime determinations..."
NPR's Fresh Air ran a piece a few days ago on drones in the USA whereby Obama recently signed an aviation bill requiring the Federal Aviation Administration to make plans to integrate drones into American airspace.
Time to clean the Y2K bunker and restock it..?? Anyone else hear of similar stuff..??

For some strange reason, I think dropping bags of dog shit on the front steps would be more appropriate. I mean, that's just funny. Could you imagine official government mouthpieces trying to frame it as a serious terrist threat? Paper bags full of dog crap?
Yes, it's all over PP.
yeah and don't forget that every time you use Google you are using Jew tech, amongst innumerable other examples. The racism here of late is really low-grade lame.
There is actually 'high grade' racism ?
it's especially shitty racism of late by especially inane posters....high-grade would be subtler but thankfully we haven't had much of that so I guess lame is good in this context :)
I thought Jews were a religion. Oh wait.. they are so special.. it's pretty much what ever the situation calls for..
Not even a religion. How can there be atheist jews if it is a religion? Jews are just this group of business people who go from country to country, pretend to assimilate into the culture, then trick the populations there into making money for them.
what race are we talking about? the white Europeans living in Israel? something odd here... white on white racism?
Pogrom and such. Troll feeding time over.
Are we talking about the same racism that says Goyim are not human, and will serve the Jewish masters as the Jewish masters see fit? I have nothing against Jewish people, I have a friend who's a Rabbi, but you must admit there are some very sick, and twisted racist Jews out there that believe they are the chosen people of God, and everyone else are animals. have you read the Talmud regarding the place of the Goyim? I've read some passages. It is very disturbing. In my opinion the Talmud is no better than the Qumran when it comes to racism, but then it all depends who wrote which version, and for what reason.
Get over it, there are racists in every cultures, and every countries. People of Israel are not special, they shit, they piss, and they bleed like the rest of us. Time to quit the holocaust crap.
Similar passages in the Quran read as to the inferiority of Jews and Christians alike. Old books have silly things to say. We should rise above all this nonsense somehow.
But agree unlikely anytime soon.
Actually, the 'religion' of the Jews is voluntary and exists only to pacify those Jews who might otherwise feel guilty about manipulating financial and legal systems to deprive others of life liberty and property. The Talmud speaks of Goyim as animals because the method of the jew is to train other persons, like animals, into behaving in ways that benefit the jew.
I don't know your Rabbi friend, but due to past experiences, I'd be skeptical of any friendly jew. I once lived with one, thought he was a good person, then realized that he would frequently take advantage of me and his other roommates in 'accidental' and seemingly non-malevolent ways. Like a cashier who *always* forgets to give you correct change, while pretending to be absent minded to avoid blame when you call him out on it.. When he made the comment that 'People who rob a house and don't get caught shouldn't be considered bad because they put a lot of effort into making it a success," I knew that he, and others like him, were just doing long cons.
Edit: To add an example, the Jews got their own nation and named it Israel. Well, the Jews originally were the tribe of Judah that broke with the other tribes of Israel to found the nation of Judah. Thousands of years later they return to the land and name it Israel, because it probably garnered more sympathy than naming it Judah would have.
Just a technicality but the vast majority of European Jewry is Ashkenazi which is a mixture of Turkic, Tartaric, Mongoloid, Ameroid and Gypsy ethnicities. As such they cannot be classified as European. This would be the equivalent of classifying a European born and raised in China as being Chinese. Utterly absurd.
take someone's special or privileged classification away, and watch them rage...
The Ashkenazim are Central and Eastern European Jews. Ashkenaz means Germany, and that is where they first settled when entering the region.
You present as fact the unfounded claim that they were Turkic, Tartaric, Mongoloid, Ameroid, and Gypsy. You are obviously referring to the Kazar hypothesis, which while intriguing, has no supporting evidence.
They were middle eastern, eventually living in the mediterranean and levantine, and finally in Europe.
Further, it is not at all the equivalent of claiming that the ethnicity of a first-generation immigrant (one born of immigrant parents) is that accorded the so-called "natives". The Ashkenaz community began between 1000 and 1600 years ago. At generational intervals of 25 years, this corresponds to between 40 and 64 generations.
The real issue is that you have conflated "European" with an ethnicity, such as Turkic. There is no European ethnicity, the so-called "native" populations of each nation in Europe are comprised of anywhere from a handful to many tens of ethnicities. If you use "European" as an ethnicity, no, Jews are not European, and neither is anyone else.
The same applies to China. There is no Chinese ethnicity. There are hundreds of ethnicities among the population of China, some of which do not even wish to be considered "Chinese". This is true of America obviously, Mexico, which is home to dozens of ethnic groups, and Russia too. The list goes on and on.
Utterly absurd indeed.
You people never cease to crack me up with your inability to devise and stick to a human taxonomic system with which to classify groups of people for the purpose of identifying those to hate, scorn, and blame. Perhaps learning population genetics would be beneficial.
Using the term Zionist is a much better option, as it refers to a readily identifiable - if very heterogeneous - group.
The "Khazar hypothesis" is that what you call it these days. No supporting evidence? I have read plenty.
So a group of individuals who settle in a geographical region but do not mix with the native population and retain their genetic structure throughout the centuries are exactly the same inidividuals as the native population? You really are ignorant.
Furthermore I did not refer to European as an ethnicity. The term "European" was used in the context of the myriad individual ethnicities that comprise the family of "European" peoples. You exhibit an inability to comprehend simple concepts. Perhaps English is your second language?
Where did I exhibit hate or scorn? I leave that for likes of individuals such as yourself.
Oh, yes, the term "Zionist" the new and approved term for the world's most persecuted people, ROTFL.
i've always suggested the use of kenennites... not sure how to spell it

You jew supremacists can be amusing, you defend jew supremacism by calling others racist:
"I believe in our moral and intellectual superiority, in our capacity to serve as a model for the redemption of the human race. This belief of mine is based on my knowledge of the Jewish people, not some mystical faith; the glory of the divine presence is within us, in our hearts, and not outside of us."

Nice; quote one guy and he speaks for all the Yids.
thats like quoting your stupid ass, then stating "all _______ are dumb, racist pig fuckers."
Precisely. One Jew asshole that you quote means what exactly? It means the poster is a racist. Chum for trolls done.
There's infinite hick dumbass racist quotes every millisecond, if only they were actually quotable.
That "One Jew asshole" was David Ben-Gurion, the first Prime Minister of Israel.
Why do you keep on, after saying chumming for trolls is done?
Jews and the Jewish media frequently use Ahmedinajad's mistranslated quote 'wipe israel off the map' as justification that Iran must be bombed to smitherines.
Yeah they could at least try to learn their history before making illogical and factually incosistent claims. Low-grade is an understatement.
If you think I'm opposing the "racists" as such, junk away. But, you are wrong. Being illogical and factually inconsistent is a disservice to the cause of revisionist history - a worthy cause - and so you are only harming yourselves.
Oh, yes, so low grade that I'm surprised you feel the need to refute the claims at all. I must surmise that it is just the "good citizen" in you. How exceptionally noble minded of you. Bravo Sir! Bravo!
Hey Toten-numbnuts it is you who is illogical and factually incosistent.
Instead of spouting self-serving garbage, why not try educating yourself for a change?

We'll see how much impact it has. The NY Fed has the rest of the building it used to rent, plus 400 traders to keep this market ramped. Not to mention the fact that they can't possibly run out of cash to ramp equities/suppress commodities because money to them is an infinitely renewable resource.
We can't "save" the Syrians, and anything we do to try is likely to make things worse.
You're operating under the assumption that we are trying to save them. We are more than likely trying to save them from the heavy burden of their gold and oil. We will provide them with some pretty green fiat. It's still green isn't it?
I get the score, and obviously so do the oligarchs, but the only way to ever hope of getting it stopped is to do whatever you can to pull the wool off the eyes of the average American. Saying something like "based upon our history in the region, if you stop and think about it anything we do in Syria is probably going to make things worse" gets very few objections these days, and begs the follow-up of, "why do we support politicians who continue these sorts of actions?" That second question, however, which tries to connect an obvious truth to a logical voter response, only gets confuzzled stares as people try and fail to fit such a position into the red team vs. blue team paradigm box. Lots of work to be done.
"why do we support politicians who continue these sorts of actions?"
Because even when people vote for candidates who claim to oppose these actions, they change their tune as soon as elected. Every 2 years it's going to be about change, and every 2 years it's just more of the same.
If only US citizens living in the US of A had guns to fight their treacherous government.
Alas, US citizens of A have forsaken stacking guns. They have all forgotten about it. They believe their government propaganda.
And now, now, US citizens living in the mecca of US citizenism, the US of A, are left helpless.
Knowing US citizens' deep committment to truth, justice and freedom, no doubt, if they had only one 9mm for one hundred of them, they would charge the government and end the politicians scheme.
One has to remember that politicians in US citizenism do not rule with the consent of the governed.
They draw their authority from themselves. Nothing else.
Draftsmen running the wilderness, trying to capture US citizens to feed the army roster.
Etc...
It's obvious why the establishment is giddy about a Romney candidacy. They'll own both horses in the race, and we'll see this same sick refrain played out again for another X years.
In US citizenism, the elite is no leader, they are managers.
Those wars are by popular will. People who think that the US citizen elite can push the war genie back into the bottle, are in for a shocking discovery.
There is domestic pressure in the US. The US People want wars and the opportunities that go with.
Any politician who will deny that pressure, well, better to have a trustworthy security network because time will run short on him or her.
We want war? Wow. I miss the good old days - y'know, when US citizens just blobbed up.
no doubt you do - things are moving pretty fast these days tho'

I know this will be unpopular, but I enjoy AnAn's messages. . . he's quite droll and often very subtle with his humour - but I understand how those who want to identify as "US citizens" would find the words irritating. . . he's inspired some great replies though.
while addressing "trolls" - not everyone who takes a stance against the general grain of the majority here is a troll - aren't trolls just there to hijack discussions or threads? some of the obvious "hamy" or "robo" ones certainly do that job well. . . simply putting up a dissenting note to the majority harmonising helps to open up the posts to other ideas outside the echo chamber, prevents in-breeding y'know. . .

I agree with you. I'm actually becoming fascinated by his theory of historical propagandized economic resource extractionary depletionism as an ideology of global domination, also known as US citizenism.

Somewhere in China (potentially, anyway), there is an unshat spot of roadside just waiting for a squatting Chinese citizenism citizen. But it is not their fault -- publicly shitting, spiting and picking their noses is simply their eternal nature. Oh, and the blobbing-up --- never forget about chinese citizenism blobbing-up.

Yeah I a'm aware you know the deal RP. I had a conversation with a client this morning who kept going on about how he is worried about Obummer getting reelected and how he will go for broke. Then he talked about the republican field. Mentioned everybody but Ron Paul. When I started telling him I'm a Ron Paul supporter and why, he responded " yeah I like Ron Paul too but..... ". I have conversations all the time with republicans and democrats both. It drives me nuttier than I already am.

There's some good stuff/comments above...
We're given a false choice from the beginning. By the time we cast our vote for President, the vote is irrelevant.
It has to start pre-primary, on both sides. A complete and total rejection of establishment politics and economics. Which has to, and most likely will, coincide with the rejection of what we dub now as 'mainstream media.' With current talking heads demonized to the point of taboo.
One outlet cheers an insurance company as it bashes Obamacare, the other plays to those 'evil insurance companies' - Meanwhile we watch our premiums rise, as the insurance companies BITCH about a 10% jump in a week following O-care's passage. And I have to sit with people at work who argue about these false choices ALL FUCKING DAY. Right now, this country deserves what it gets.

That braindead beauty queen with all her mindless babbling about "US Americans, and such as" eerily reminds me of our chinese citizenism dishwasher friend AnAnonymouse and his equally inane jabber about "US Citizenism" and the supposed eternal nature thereof.
ya know, its an observation worth mentioning
<shakes head>
OK. This is exhibit A that we do not live in a meritocracy.
With the way things are going green doesnt sound to bad...
We shouldn't....
But still...
Maybe only one nuke?
you mean tactical kinetic nuclear activity?
Blow Nukes in the air and EMP the entire world...
make it fair FFS!
It could be sold to the populace on the nightly news as 'an uncontrolled fission reaction testing energy output for peaceful purposes'. That'll get the enviromentalist nutjobs solidly behind it, the pro-nuke power reactionaries agreeing to it, and no one in either camp any the wiser about exactly what the hell just happened.
Why don't you just let a disgruntled, ptsd, drunk, rogue, soldier march into syria with a suitcase nuke?
If the Syrians really had any oil, they would have already been 'saved'
The American sheeple are being groomed for war as usual.
grooming is no longer required. when the war bell rings, the sheep go all 'pavlov's dog' and start foaming at the mouth.
Absolutely. The grooming began years ago. The US being at war is as common place as, well, the US being at war.
You sound like a terrorist. We've always been at war with Eastasia.
Huh? Oh, yeah, sorry, that incursion into Grenada kept popping into my mind. The dental profession in the U.S. has never been the same since.
That's a bit better. Take your soma, and if you see something, say something.
I will as soon as I find Eastasia on the map.
lol @ the red arrows in this thread, someone at the Department of War, er "Defense" must be surfing the web today.
Maybe they are from patriots who still love their country. USA is not perfect, but it is a shining exemplar of freedom compared to some of the cesspools that litter the world.
I see, so opposing bombing other countries excludes one from being a patriot? How many brown people does one need to advocate the killing of in order to be considered patriotic? All of them? Just to be sure? What's so patriotic about endless undeclared unconstitutional war that kills our soldiers and doesn't make us safer, exactly? What is patriotic about sending our kids to die in pointless wars?
How about patriots that want the US government to abide by its own Constitution instead of being a war mongering empire that slaughters innocents and assassinates whomever they want abroad with aerial drones without so much as asking our elected body of representatives if it's ok?
How about patriots that don't want to commit our troops to so many multiple tours of duty in pointless wars that they snap and go on killing sprees? How about patriots that don't want to see another generation of veterans come home scarred, maimed, and broken for absolutely nothing? Do you still beileve that bombing or invading Iran is going to make us safer?
