(MEE) — A UN commission on Wednesday said rebel groups in Syria’s Idlib province should leave urban areas to protect civilians from a looming government assault. “Most of those terrorist groups and other armed groups, they are in the cities. Perhaps one wonderful scenario is: Leave the cities,” said UN Commission of Inquiry on Syria chief Paulo Pinheiro. Hany […]
by NoahOn Tuesday afternoon, Señor Trumpanzee gave a special, and we mean oh so special, photo-op, complete with charts, direct from the Oval Office to discuss the coming of Hurricane Florence. It didn't take long for him to make the recent Hurricane disasters all about himself, particularly the effects of last year's Hurricane Maria on Puerto Rico, an island of 3.4 million people he may not have known are American citizens.
Carin Ism.En slipad börsmäklare gör kanske mer gott för världen än en volontär i Afrika. Filosoferna Magnus Jiborn och Per Bauhn diskuterar med Carin Ism från föreningen Effektiv Altruism.Det handlar, som föreningens namn antyder, om att göra gott på bästa möjliga sätt. Självklart, kan tyckas, på gränsen till banalt. Men bör man offra sina tre barn för att rädda hundra barn som man inte känner på en annan kontinent? Var går gränsen för mina moraliska skyldigheter, och har jag alls någon plikt att göra gott? Frågorna hopar sig, som så ofta i det här programmet.

America is threatening war in Syria. The Wall Street Journal says Russian troops will be targeted. Though this story from September 10, 2018 is fake, there is a sinister method behind it.
Trump wants a war with Russia, a war he thinks Russia will fight half-heartedly, a few ships sunk, a few planes downed, no American ground troops, perhaps with Trump able to use his secret arsenal of biological and chemical weapons and deniable tactical nukes as well.
Peter Ford, former British Ambassador to Syria:
You will be seeing lurid accounts in the Western media of the latest report to the UN Human Rights Council from the Independent Commission of Inquiry on Syria. This was issued on 12 September.
In particular it is being stated that the report vindicates claims that weaponised chlorine was used in Douma. This is not what the report (text below) actually says.
If you read the actual report – you have to reach section 92 so obviously few hacks will do that – you will see that it is carefully worded.
Back in Syria since late evening September 5, following are some updates, more in depth articles to follow.

Already 30,000 people have fled their homes in northwestern Syria in anticipation of battles that are seen as inevitable.

The Trump administration’s national security advisor John Bolton has never been a fan of international law, a concept he has found, at best, rubbery.

Yossi Beilin is back. This unrepentant Israeli ‘peacemaker’ is like the mythical phoenix, constantly resurrecting from its own ashes.

A confederation “could prevent the need to evacuate settlers and allow those interested to live in Palestine as Israeli citizens, just as a[Read More...]

Chris PappasOne more little look at last night's primaries from New Hampshire. Because Carol Shea-Porter decided to retire, there was a lot of action in the first district. The Democrats nominated Chris Pappas, a slightly left-of-center candidate favored by the entire New Hampshire political establishment, and the Republicans nominated a mainstream conservative, Eddie Edwards, instead of the far right Trump character, Andy Sanborn.
