Some of the latest and some of it is bring you all up to date on events from last week. Lots of ground to cover today, so let's get started!IMPORTANT UPDATE BELOW!!! Coinciding, with the public ousting arrest and eviction of a diplomat aka CIA agent from Russia today We also have the visit/meeting taking place between Erdogan (Turkey) and Obama, coming hot on the heels of that obvious false flag car bombing. False Flag to frame Syria: An attack on one NATO nation is an attack on all NATO nations? Pt2: False Flag to Frame Syria. NATO intervention? The UN resolution I made mention of last week,Qatar proposes condemnation of Syria at UN General Assembly, is being voted on today. Finally, the town near Jordan the Syrian Army was advancing, Syrian troops push down strategic highway towards Jordan , on has been taken by Syrian Army.Let's talk Erdogan & Obama: The linked article suggests that Erdogan has an agenda of his own. He most likely does, but, will only be allowed to play out his agenda as long as it fits into the bigger agenda. He can go no farther then his NATO masters will allow.Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan addresses his supporters and lawmakers at the parliament in Ankara, Turkey, Tuesday, May 14, 2013
“Turkey has thrown its weight heavily behind the two-year uprising against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, allowing the rebels to organise on its soil and sheltering 400,000 refugees.
Of course Syria will be our main topic ... We will draw a roadmap. Turkey has been damaged more than any other country," Erdogan told reporters before boarding his plane to Washington.Washington sees Turkey, which shares a 900 km border with Syria and has NATO's second-largest army, as key to planning for a post-Assad Syria and is expected to push for Erdogan's support in arranging a proposed peace conference also backed by Moscow”
Turkey has a very large military. I was unaware of that.- The US is going to push Turkey into supporting the peace conference backed by Moscow?I don't think so. I suspect that is for public consumption.
“Erdogan and Obama will discuss a host of other regional issues, from Turkey's thawing relations with Israel to its energy deals with Iraq, as well as the division of Cyprus, split between a Turkish north and Greek Cypriot south since 1974"
The thaw between Israel and Turkey; very important to taking Syria down. As has been mentioned on multiple occasions at this blog. The link will take you back to the latest and the previous posts on Israel/Turkey kiss and makeup The division of Cyprus: Recall my 3 part post on how beneficial the destruction of Cyprus was to Turkey. Access to all 3 parts available at link above. For those unfamiliar. Making Cyprus dependent on Turkey. Cypriots losing control of their own future, for Turkey’s benefit. A gift from NATO, tied with ribbon.
“Turkey is not the deferential U.S. ally it once was, its long-standing alignment with Washington has eroded under the decade-old leadership of Erdogan, who has carved out an increasingly assertive and independent role on the world stage.”
Turkey is still the deferential US ally, lackey, it has always been-It seems the puzzle pieces are coming together to give us the full pictureI don't like it Turkey: US Imperial Tool NATO bases in Turkey
Turkey's a NATO country. It's a reliable imperial partner. It has its own regional ambitions. It's Washington's lead attack dog against Syria.The aftermath of Saturday's Reyhanli's bombings bears watching. Turkey blamed Syria. It did so straightaway. No evidence whatever proves it. Accusations don't wash.Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan's heading to Washington. On May 16, he and Obama will meet. Syria tops the agenda. Perhaps war plans will be discussed. Maybe they'll be finalized. Obama's been tiptoeing toward it incrementally
War plans will be discussed. They may be finalized. Before we go there let's update first on the UN vote The Qatari resolution, mentioned last week and relinked at the beginning of the post, is being voted on in the General Assembly today. The resolution is expected to pass amongst this group, albeit with a smaller approval then a general assembly resolution last year.“The resolution will not have as much support as the assembly's previous resolution last August”Last year their were 133 supportive votes. This year the yes votes will fall to as low as 100.Keep in mind this is a General Assembly vote, not a security council vote. Russia, China and an increasing number of nations will oppose this general assembly resolution.I don't think that will stop NATO from using this vote for spin purposes. Not at this time.Recall the town that Syrian Army was attempting to retake? They did successfully capture the town retaking it from the NATO mercs. Syrian Troops Take Full Control of Strategic TownPrior to Syrian Army's move on the town, leaflets were dropped. The State Department issued one of their typical hypocritical condemnations
We are deeply concerned by reports that the Assad regime has begun dropping leaflets over Qusayr.........etc., etc.,
Yes, the US State department is “deeply concerned". So concerned they have armed and supported the mercs to kill Syrians.Also, in the news, the rebels and Syrian Army are fighting around a prison in AleppoOf course the rebels detonated two car bombs to kick start the attack. Yup car bombs. Standard for NATO’s mercs. Just like in Turkey over the weekend.
Syrian rebels have detonated two car bombs outside the main prison in the northern city of Aleppo and are trying to storm the facility, where hundreds of regime opponents are believed to be held.
The rebels are trying to get incarcerated fighters out to pick up where they left off.Indicating, at least to me, the NATO mercs are desperate for fighters. Right now.
Activists say Syrian rebels have detonated two car bombs outside the main prison in the northern city of Aleppo. (File photo: Retuers)
OK, here is where I explain my suspicions about what is going to go on and what might happen:Turkey will attack Syria , some excuse will be given. “Retaliation” for some alleged attack, possibly even the most recent car bombings. Israel will participate, along with Turkey. This is a scenario that has been put forth on the blog previously and in my estimation it still seems the most sensible.Bearing in mind that UN peacekeepers have not been being relocated away from Golan for no good reason.- The attack will begin initially without a no fly zone. NATO will not bother with the UN and when the time is right they will set up the no fly zone, to protect their NATO ally (Turkey) Unless cooler heads prevail. As of right now, I am not seeing that. Israel, (don't buy the gatekeeper spin about Israel's fretting, Israel is not fretting, Israel is and has been actively involved in destroying Syria from the get go) Qatar, Turkey, the US, SA, NATO etc., all have way to much at stake here to let Syria stay intact.And, I suspect they are all a bit desperate. Syria has been cleaning house of NATO mercs. Forcing the tyrannical hand of NATO imperialists to act quickly or not at allFrom this desperation comes danger Way back I explained how strategically significant Syria was in the whole big picture of geopolitics and geostrategic positioning and control/denial of resources. I used the word the fulcrum, on which world peace balances. I don't think it was to dramatic.If Turkey and Israel strike, the region will go, I have said this before.Iran. Lebanon. All of it. Unless cooler heads prevail. The one glitch in this all is the domestic political situation in the US. It could give the Obama administration pause for thought. Or the whole Benghazi, IRS scandal could result in the US using Syria as a distraction.Lots of if, and, buts and maybe's but..not being privy to the inner workings of the evil ones all I can do is make my best deduction based on limited info at handWhat do you all say? Additional Worthy Reading: Europe and the Politics Of Syrian Oil Rebels involved in providing Syrian Oil to EU. Kurdish involvement. Turkey and more...Closing paragraph:
Will Qatar, Turkey or France take the responsibility of collecting the Syrian oil-revenue funds in order to distribute them to the opposition? Analysts say that the involvement of the French in particular and their European partners in the Syrian oil sector, in the name of supporting the opposition, confirms that theyw ant to maintain their share of Syrian oil in the future.
Internet down in Syria today, external connectivity unavailable earlier today reports were that internal connectivity was available. Perhaps the cannibalistic rebel was the reason for this?
Internet traffic to and from Syria, a country engulfed by civil war, again came to a halt on Wednesday, according to Internet monitoring company Renesys
“It may be the case that the Internet is still online in Syria,” Cowie said. But there is no way to tell. “We can’t reach them and they can’t reach us,” he said.
UPDATE BEGINS:Israel Hints at New Strikes, Warning Syria Not to Hit Back
WASHINGTON – A senior Israeli official signaled on Wednesday that Israel was considering further military strikes on Syria to stop the transfer of advanced weapons to Islamic militants, and he warned the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, that his government would face crippling consequences if it retaliated against Israel.
And so it goes................
