When the US “withdrew” from Syria, Donald Trump announced that he had secured Syria’s oil from ISIS and was protecting it.
Further announcements indicated the US was leaving 500 troops there and would be moving in heavy armor, this being done well outside the purview of agreements with Russia and certainly in violation of Syria’s sovereignty.
It was also announced that up to 400 private military contractors would be stationed there as well.

Sunday... Last Sunday in what has been a very cold October in these parts of central Canada... And time once again for my weekly rant..I honestly do not really like having to give "weather reports" at this blog, but with that little scumbag, Greta Thunberg, out there running around (ask yourselves who is financing all this?) screaming that we have "destroyed our world" and have taken away "her future", I really have to try my best to wake up the people all the time to the FACT that this "climate crisis" is nothing but a scam gone wild...
Walking with a friend, Lulwa, through what was a khan (inn) in the past, now an area for traditional and new crafts. She makes the apt point: were Damascus under the rule of what the west called “rebels”, al-Qaeda and co-terrorists, none of this would be possible.
This is the Syrian culture that existed prior to the war on Syria, and the culture that continues to exist, in spite of everything the West and Gulf/Israeli/Turkish allies have done to destroy Syria.
The judge who laid down the legal architecture needed to establish Israel’s settlements has just died. But his legacy has inspired a fresh generation of jurists to create new mechanisms for dispossessing the Palestinians.
From extraordinary candid admissions made separately by US President Donald Trump and the New York Times, there can be no illusion about what American forces are really deployed in Syria for. It’s an illegal occupation against the Syrian government and in particular to deprive the Arab country of its oil resources. Read Finian Cunningham’s article to find out more.

“I saw with my own eyes that there is no justice in the US.”
Leontiev:You signed a plea deal. We were watching the case very closely, just like all of Russia. Some lawyers said the prosecutors might not have enough evidence to prove your guilt. Why then take a plea bargain?

While everyone, including myself, has speculated how Boris Johnson could be the Hero of Brexit, it may come down to French President Emmanuel Macron being that hero.
Macron has made noise after noise about not wanting to grant any more extensions to the U.K. to delay Brexit. He wants Brexit completed.

In America readers of the most prominent newspapers and magazines read all about Putin’s empire finally crumbling, the Russians taking over Africa with “nuclear bombers,” and President Trump gifting Putin the whole world. Meanwhile, the land of the free and home of the brave has more problems than ever. The ship that sailed toward the American Dream, it’s plowed into an unmovable iceberg. Here’s a candid look at a “Titanic” tragedy so few understand.
“Russophobia Goose” Tales
Positive change starts with recognizing that individual goodness—backed by principled action—will move mountains that angry words never will.

On October 3rd, countless tens of thousands of Ecuadorian citizens began a general strike and occupation of public spaces, throughout the country but targeting the capital of Quito. President Lenin Moreno has made himself one of the most hated men in the history of the country in the course of his rule, and was forced to flee as a consequence, and re-establish the capital in Guayaquil. In addition, facing a larger and wider revolution all together, Moreno was forced to rescind Decree 883 – the new law which appears to have been the straw that broke the camel’s back in Ecuador.

International Man: The United States and Iran appear to be closer than ever to war. Where do you think this is headed, and what would the consequences of a war with Iran be?
David Stockman: If it ever really happened in a hot-war sense, it would be catastrophic, because everything in the Persian Gulf would be sunk.
There would be massive amounts—tens of thousands of tons—of metal clogging up the Strait of Hormuz from all these sunken ships, both ours and theirs.
Recent events have pointed to the weakness of the United Nations in dealing with international crises. The UN is experiencing the same diplomatic inertia that doomed its predecessor, the League of Nations. The UN Secretary General is not using all the powers granted to him by the UN Charter to try to extinguish flames of civil conflict breaking out around the world, from Catalonia to Syria and Hong Kong to the British Isles.
Russia responds to US move by accusing United States of ‘international banditry’
MEE and agencies
Washington began sending reinforcements into oil-rich east Syria, a US defence official said on Saturday, as a military convoy flying American flags crossed into the war-torn country from Iraq, sparking Russian criticism.
The official told AFP that Washington has begun reinforcing positions in Deir Ezzor province with extra military assets in coordination with Kurdish fighters of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
Remember the Spinal Tap scene where the witless band member explains that because their numbers go to 11 they can always get that little bit extra? Putin Derangement Syndrome went past 11 a long time ago: we need a whole new set of superlatives, “craziest” just won’t do any more
Yup, yet again Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi has been killed. Deja Vu? Or the same as simply restarting some random nameless video game? The fearless fighter can hunt the bad guy down over and over. Different scenarios of course, but, still the bad guy dies in any number of places and manners. How many times can one play this same game?

The worst moment was one of a number of ‘worst’ moments. I have sat in many courtrooms and seen judges abuse their positions, This judge, Vanessa Baraitser—actually she isn’t a judge at all; she’s a magistrate—shocked all of us who were there.
Her face was a progression of sneers and imperious indifference; she addressed Julian with an arrogance that reminded me of a magistrate presiding over apartheid South Africa’s Race Classification Board. When Julian struggled to speak, he couldn’t get words out, even stumbling over his name and date of birth.

The Western media is reporting that US military forces have killed the supposed leader of the so-called “Islamic State in Iraq and Syria” (ISIS) in Syria’s northern governorate of Idlib.

När man tänker tonårsfilmer från 80-talet, tänker man The Breakfast Club från 1985. Det är den mest ikoniska tonårsfilmen från perioden och John Hughes mästerverk.

La politique étrangère de Washington à l’égard de l’Iran est dictée par le désespoir plutôt que par une compréhension raisonnée d’un monde en pleine mutation historique. Cela ne peut conduire qu’à une succession continue d’échecs.
On CNN yesterday, Jake Tapper reminded CNN viewers that regardless of White House claims to the contrary, Trump doesn't have a "communications problem," he has "a facts problem and the facts are bad for the president, so he seems to be trying to change them by lying." The describes more than just the Ukraine scandal. And it describes more than just his presidency. It describes the man's entire life. He's been lying about everything-- big and small-- since the first time he appeared in the New York Times, October 16, 1973.
