Now before you react, I am fully aware that the Norwegian Nobel Committee which decides Nobel Peace Prize winners has usually chosen based on a globalist agenda, one might call them corrupted by it. I’m aware they have in the past given the prize to some very not-peace-loving candidates including Henry Kissinger, Barack Obama, even the European Union. Nonetheless, I want to nominate the courageous Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orban, for the award. Let me explain my reasons.

Take a gander infra. Go ahead. This is monumentally amazing for even the mildly sentient. Why? Because the mainstream media have covered absolutely nothing of the matter. A worldwide story of indescribable import and it’s ignored altogether because the information contained therein is embarrassing to the Clinton regime.

It seems that the liberal war hawks in Washington, and their ‘conservative’ sidekicks in London, are determined to trigger a wider war in Syria in order to salvage their epic failure of arming their Takfiri terrorist army in Syria – in a vain attempt to break-up the country and force regime change via a western and Gulf-backed terrorist insurgency.
The US knew allies were supporting ISIS, but provided them with billions in arms anyway.

As Trump sinks in polls, mainstream media goes easy on Clinton, despite very serious issues raised by newly leaked emails….--quick survey shows that Washington Post has zero coverage, LA Times has one minor story, and NY Times buries its insignificant coverage; even Fox News seems to be treading lightly

I am feeling much better today, and it is indeed back to filing reports at this blog....I am continuing to watch the events unfold in Syria, and especially the fight for eastern Aleppo city... It is a fact that the US so called "moderate" rebels and the other fraud mercenaries are indeed holed up in what is an ever contracting area of eastern Aleppo.... It will indeed only be a matter of time now before the entire rotting bunch of criminals will have to surrender to the Syrian army and their allies...

Seems no one touched by oil at the transport end wants any part of it. Pipelines leak, 100- and 200-car trains blow up and burn, and fracking destroys health, lives and ground water.The key in all of these battles is local control, exercised by the very people in place to be the suffering recipients of all the damage done.
