US Severs Diplomatic Ties With Syria, Closes Embassy, Pulls Diplomats

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Two months ago, Hillary told all Americans to get "immediately out of the 'dodge' known as Syria. Today, the request is formally an order, following an AP report that the US has just severed ties with Syria.

I find it disgraceful how people on this site feel they have the right to repeatedly insult our brave commander in chef. Yes, he's not a pacifist, but think how many more would've died if the terrorists had been given a free reign over the last four years. We must all do our bit in the fight.

I'll give you an example of how Im doing mine. My job is with the government regulating small businesses. On my day off last Saturday I saw a teenager selling hot dogs in the street. I approached him to ask if he had the neccissary papers, suspecting he wouldnt even know what the neccessary papers were! Sure enough it was all completely illegal. These people think they can just go out and set up business enterprizes just like that. I was detemined to teach this young dollar whore a lesson. First I confiscated all his pork (he told me it was organic from his grandfathers farm - I made a mental note to cheak out the farm in future, I took the pork which fed me and my collegues for a week after we'd had it saftey checked. Sure enough, it was organic and good quality, but thats besides the point). I told him he would have the book thrown at him, that he could be facing years in prison, that I could easily label him a terrorist and the courts would treat him accordingly.

He said, "Please Sir, I'm just trying to provide for my family"
"Why don't you get a job?" I asked him.
"I've tried, Ive really tried; I can't find one"
"You have have you? Have you tried the millitary?"
"No sir not the military"
"No? And why not? You don't want to protect your country? You don't believe in freedom?"
He said nothing. I was feeling benevolent, so I said "I'll tell you what: I'm going to take your name and details. I'll rreturn here in one month. If I find you've enrolled in the military we'll forget the whole thing; if I find otherwise you'll be tried as a court as a terrorist"

So with that simple interaction I was able to help my country in the fight against terror and assure a misguided youth learn the proper values of social responsibility and how shameless money worshiping and self service doesnt pay in a fair society. I hope others will follow my example and do their bit too.

21 years ago today I had a "vision" of a special report of a chemical SCUD missile attack on Israel that did not exist.  This was followed a week-or-so later by hearing an air-raid siren and nuclear explosion upon reading aloud the 8th chapter of the Book of Revelation to a friend:

I've spent half my life trying to warn the world accordingly, and now everything appears to be coming to a head:

So despite what a brazen loud mouthed idiot you are, always give God thanks and praise,

The act you've known for all these years,

Erm.... the Book of Revelation was bolted onto the New Testament to scare the shit out of people.

It is a bunch of deranged ramblings and has nothing to do with the Gospels.

Might as well quote Nostradamus or the Mayan calendar thing.

6 people (and perhaps more to come) would rather not consider how the sausage is made.  This is perfectly understandable.  Of course the people who put it together said that it was god who did it, they were just carrying out what he had inspired them to do.  Of course all religions peddle the same divine inspiration story.  I think it was the Macho Man who provided me with this quote:

The Stephen F. Roberts e-warrior quote:  I contend we are both atheists, I just believe in one fewer god.  When you understand why you dismiss all other gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.

Did you then get some psychiatric help?  Unfortunately it wasn't available for "Saint" John when he had his "visions".

<<But really....who cares anyway?>>

 If you can't do anything about it, why bother?

"There is no mind absolute or free will, but the mind is determined for willing this or that by a cause which is determined in its turn by another cause, and this one again by another, and so on to infinity." -- Benedictus de Spinoza

Or in other words: "Que sera, sera."

The Zionists are their own worst enemies:

“Our race is the Master Race. We are divine gods on this earth. We are as different from the inferior races as they are from insects. In fact, compared to our race, other races are beasts and animals, cattle at best. Other races are considered as human excrement. Our destiny is to rule over the inferior races. Our worldly wise kingdom will be ruled by our leader with a rod of iron. The masses will lick our feet and serve us as our slaves.” — Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin (1977-1983) in a speech to the Knesset [New Statesman Magazine June 25 1982]

Some of us care. Don't worry. All that you're getting is junked. At least you aren't being crucified.

Since you're into prophecy (go ahead folks, junk me) read Daniel 11:44 and 45:

"But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall truble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and to utterly take away many.

"And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain: yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him."

Like I said, go ahead and junk me. But if this is not Israel, I'll eat my hat.

What other nation has trouble to the north (Syria) and to the east (Iran)? What other country, if it were to attack, would have to have a strategy of overwhelming aggressive force, if it hopes to win? Maybe the US, but in this case, the US is Israel's bitch, so prophetically, US = Israel.

What other nation has the capability and the ideology, to want to control the Temple Mount (glorious holy mountain)?

Fer fuck's sake, regaining the Temple Mount is the soul of Zionism!

My bud here SpOT, had a vision. I'm telling yuou now that if Israel attacks Iran, a nuclear fucking war will be the final outcome, just like SpOT is saying. Go ahead and junk him, but if I were you, I'd hedge with oil and gold... like it will do you any good...

When loads of countries have nuclear weapons, there's always a risk that there will be a war where they are used (already been done once).

As international tensions increase, the risk of war  - and therefore the possibility of nuclear war - increases.

You don't need a "vision" to show you this.

I'm not sure why you think many people on a financial blog site, even one with an end of the world bias, would care. Do what you feel you must but those who are most inclined to hear you have likely heard it for themselves already.

Iran is sending a U.S. drone it captured in December home - with a small makeover. Mocking requests to return the drone, a local toy company plans to send a miniature pink model of the RQ-170 Sentinel to U.S. President Barack Obama. (SOUNDBITE) (Farsi) HEAD OF CULTURAL DEPARTMENT OF 'AAYE' COMPANY, SEYYED SAEED HASSAN-POUR, SAYING: "We wanted for Mr. Obama himself to have these toys and know that Iranians don't leave anyone's requests unanswered.

Consider myself very fortunate to have seen Damascus before the Illuminati/NWO/Satanists turn it into a waste land. Maybe the psyco sickos are really just cult fucking the world for laughs.

From wikitravel;

Established between 10,000 to 8,000BC, Damascus is credited with being the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world. The old-walled city, in particular, feels very ancient and largely consists of a maze of narrow alleys, punctuated by enigmatic doors that lead into pleasing, verdant courtyards and blank-faced houses. The old city still has an authentic medieval feel to it, although this is vanishing fast due to the increasing tourist traffic as the city continues to be highlighted as an attraction. Life, however, goes on in the old-walled city, which is still the religious and social centre of the city.

Ayatollah: Kill all Jews, annihilate Israel

Iran lays out legal case for genocidal attack against 'cancerous tumor'

 It is a ‘jurisprudential justification" to kill all the Jews and annihilate Israel, and in that, the Islamic government of Iran must take the helm."

WND...Same dumbshit Israel-firsters (fisters?)who want Obama to go back to Kenya.

C'mon, birthers!(Corsi) Obama is Malcolm X's kid! That means he IS a natural-borm citizen!

But, of course, Malcolm X read the Protocols...

This post reminds me of Pasolini's idea:

Consumerism is able to captivate the individual soul in a way that fascism was never able to do.

Translation: The 5 sided puzzle factory in VA have decided to take Syria and Iran at the same time. Hitlery Klinton and her Neo Con cohorts are in a fluid situation they didn't anticipate (unexpected company in the region) Time for a UN Peace Keeping Mission, they just don't describe the methods they use to keep the "Peace".

Word cloud:

SHTF.

Counter terrorism.

Petro Dollar.

Kenetic military action.

UN Nation Building.

NATO.

Gold.

Central Bank expansion.

Resource control.

Military Industrial Complex.

Diego Garcia.

Muslim Brotherhood.

Bunker busters.

Turkey.

Media Blackout.

Last but not least.. Vaporize.

What this boils down to is the US trying to affect the March election in Russia with some added benefit of polarizing the globe a la "If yer nawt with us, yer with thu terrrists!"

If it's the DC underlying intention, it sent totally wrong messages to Russian people.

Instead the Russian people will stand up firmly and align solidly behind Vladimir Putin. They know they need a man with strong confidence and will to defend Russia's interests.

A strong Russia with no hesitation to say NYET! NYET! NYET!

A strong Russia as we saw in August 2008 that silienced the agent in Georgia, Mr.Silly, during the brief lesson.

You know of all the empty suits and teleprompters roaming the DC landscape, there is only one who truly scares me. I mean gives me the there- is - something- seriously- wrong- with- this - person shuddering heebie jeebies whenever I see her face.

Hillary, she just always has this look on her face, like she's savoring the thought of getting home and eating that six pack of children she had imported from Botswana or something.

it's always the quiet ones right? I don't know exactly what it is about her, she just exudes this unsettling serial killer eugenics death worshiping vibe.

but then, maybe it's just me.

perhaps she just sticks in your mind because she's a woman, and women aren't usually known as sociopaths in the public eye - Rumsfeld, Cheney, Kissinger - these are recognisable vampires - she's one of them, but with tits - so yeah, cognitive dissonance.

it's the power thing, she finally has a larger measure of it, and she exudes the knowing of this.

Petrodollar pumping US policy on Iran, backfire looms

http://rt.com/news/iran-attack-us-allegations-243/

Iran is breaking the back of the petrodollar. Others have tried, but Iran is succeeding. To understand how disastrous this is for the US, one must have a basic understanding of how critical a role the petrodollar plays in the economic health of the US.

Through King Faisal, Nixon elevated the US to supreme economic ascendency, not unlike Damocles in his desire to rule. Sitting on the (economic) throne of the world is great, but Nixon was either unaware of the sword dangling over the US economic system, or chose to ignore it in favor of reaping the rewards of the moment.

By creating the petrodollar paradigm, the US economy soared, as all countries of the world were required to amass US currency to purchase oil from OPEC nations. Sales of T-bills, securities and US bonds soared. US coffers fattened. With the US dollar as the world’s oil currency reserve, economic fortune favored the US. But with great reward comes great risk. While other countries exchanged their currency for the dollar, (forfeiting value in the process) the US simply printed more money to match their needs and purchase their oil – essentially for free. The best example is that while gasoline in the US cost $3.00 per gallon, in Europe that same gallon costs $6.00 or more.

Herein lies the danger. If Iran is successful in its bid to set up their own bourse, or oil exchange, then what need does the world have for all those US dollars? The answer is none at all. As Iran creating gold and sovereign currency partnerships with India, China, South Korea and Russia, the hegemony of the petrodollar will be destroyed.

The resulting sell-off of US dollars, T-bills, securities, bonds and assets will flood the already swollen world economy with even more useless dollars, ultimately devaluing it into a position where hyper-inflation becomes a risk.

So, while the US government sabre-rattles and prattles on and on about nuclear weapons and the threat Iran poses to the Middle East, the thin veneer of lies spouted by the elite controlled media is being stripped away, revealing the truth of their warmongering rhetoric.

The US, by their foolish insistence on enforcing embargoes and sanctions against Iran, is hastening the end of the petrodollar and ushering in the age of US dollar hyper-inflation. A practical example: One loaf of bread in a healthy economy is $1.00. In an inflationary economy it’s $1.75. In a hyper-inflationary economy, $500.00.

Bullies may be large and dangerous, but rarely are they intelligent.
