Time for another news round up. Let’s see what I was able to corral ? Going long I can't get over how often Ireland comes up in relation to the destabilization of the Middle East.They seem an odd affiliate on the surface, but, scratch just a bit deeper............Irish troops are going to Golan as part of UN forceDoes anyone find that odd? Suspicious? You shouldThe Quneitra border crossing between Israel and Syria, as seen from the Israeli side of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights last week.
More than 100 Irish troops are to be be sent to war-torn Syria as part of a United Nations observer force later this summer.The Government yesterday approved the deployment of a 114-strong mechanised infantry unit to the Golan Heights at the request of the UN.
Two problems I have with this beside the obvious 'boots on the ground' feel # 1- Not so long ago Russia offered to send troops to the Golan border to act as peacekeepers..The UN declined. Why?# 2- Ireland is within the sphere/domain of Muslim Brotherhood influence or worseMuslim Brotherhood- GlobalistsCountries of activity We have all read about many Irish MB fighting for the ‘cause’ in Syria. We are or should be aware of the Irish MB fighting in Libya. The Irish MB on the Mavi Marmara. All of them connected to the MB globalist, NATO war terror machine. I hope you have been paying attention? So, who are these Irish troops going to be? Is this a way for the UN to surreptitiously, in their role as a NATO consort globalist organization, increase the numbers of NATO backed fighters at the border...That is certainly what I suspect.Speaking further of Golan:What is Israel up to? Clearly the Israeli media is covering up IDF/NATO backed mercenary activity at the border with nonsensical, contradictory stories. It would make sense that activity is on the increase and is attracting more attention Syrians who infiltrated IDF posts were thieves
IDF Spokesman Yoav Mordechai denied that terrorists infiltrated an IDF post and shot at soldiers on Tuesday. He said that metal thieves had crossed the border, were shot at by the IDF and then Syrian elements returned fire

Israeli military does not believe gunfire came from Syrian rebels, but still cannot say who opened fire Tuesday night.
Preceded by this news-Syrian rebels seize IDF post, exchange fire with soldiers
During a routine patrol by an IDF unit, the unit observed suspects in an unmanned post in south Golan Heights just east of the border fence. The suspects, who turned out to be Syrian rebels, fired at the IDF troops, which fired back. IDF troops were rushed to the scene. No injuries were reported. The results of the IDF fire are yet unconfirmed.
And as Anonymous points out...... thanks anonymous!Israel crashed, intentionally or otherwise, one of it’s drones that was over the Sinai
The UAV crashed near the youth village of Nitzana on the Israel-Egypt border. The crash was caused by a technical problem, according to the IDF.
Israel Air Force Hermes 450 UAV So called terror attacks are on the increase in Sinai, despite, or perhaps, because of an increase in US military & Egyptian military presence in the Sinai.
The violence has spiked again since the overthrow of Islamist president Mohamed Mursi this month. Militants have attacked security checkpoints and other targets on an almost daily basis, killing at least 13 people.
It all seems to be ‘going to hell in a handbasket’? And Israel seems central to it all in the ME.TTP has sent fighters to Syria Seems plausible. There were previous reports of Pakistani fighters present in SyriaSo, more on the way is very believable, particularly at this time.By the way the TTP- Tehrik Taliban of Paksitan is yet another bunch of NATO backed fighters.Certainly not the lowly fighter. But, the higher ranks? Definitely!I have numerous posts on this bunchTTP Organization sends fighters to Syria to battle Assad Speaking of the UN. Obama’s nominee Samantha Power is singing the right tune
"We see the failure of the UN Security Council to respond to the slaughter in Syria - a disgrace that history will judge harshly,"
She also said she sees at the United Nations "unacceptable bias and attacks against the State of Israel," and "the absurdity" of Iran serving as chair of the UN Conference on disarmament.

President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday watched Russia's biggest military maneuvers since Soviet times, involving 160,000 troops and about 5,000 tanks across Siberia and the far eastern region in a massive show of the nation's resurgent military might.Dozens of Russia's Pacific Fleet ships and 130 combat aircraft also took part in the exercise, which began on Friday and continue through this week. Putin watched some of the drills on Sakhalin Island in the Pacific, where thousands of troops were ferried and airlifted from the mainland.Part of the maneuvers was intended to simulate a response to a hypothetical attack by Japanese and US forces

Sochi is also worryingly close to the north Caucasus, a predominantly Muslim part of Russia that has been immersed in a bloody civil conflict for two decades. Last year Russia lost 296 soldiers and civilians in the north Caucasus, according to Caucasian Knot, a monitoring organisation, almost as many soldiers as America lost in Afghanistan. “Imagine holding the games in Kabul,” one American official says
