Bashar al-Assad, when he arrived in Sochi on 20 November for a meeting with President V. Putin, was evidently premature in his declaration that ISIS had been completely defeated in Syria: in one day, on 27 November, ISIS carried out a counter-attack in the area between Abu Kamal and Mayadin. The Syrians suffered serious losses in their attempts to advance in this territory.
To tell the truth, ISIS’ situation, from an operational point of view, is still critical.

Pope Francis lost a historical opportunity to truly set his legacy apart from previous Popes. Alas, for him, too, political expediency trumped all else. In his visit to Burma (Myanmar) on November 27, he refrained from using the word ‘Rohingya.’ But what’s in a name? In our frenzied attempts at understanding and articulating the plight of the Rohingya Muslim minority in Burma,[Read More...]
Idlib, Syria: George W. Bush’s “Mission Accomplished!” boast takes its name from a banner that was displayed on the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln during his May 1, 2003 televised address. It referred to his claimed victory in Iraq fourteen years ago. In a less publicized incident, US Defense Secretary Rumsfeld also declared an end to combat operations referring to “Mission Accomplished” in Afghanistan on May 1, 2003,[Read More...]

In his remarks on the recent International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women – see‘Violence Against Women is Fundamentally About Power’– United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres inadvertantly demonstrated why well-meaning efforts being undertaken globally to reduce violence against women fail to make any progress in addressing this pervasive crisis. Hence, while the UN might be ‘committed to addressing[Read More...]
Capital is not equally shared; neither is nature. Our everyday life has become precarious, a life without stability. Spaces that we dwell in are increasingly questioned, mostly spaces that are home to the margins of the society. Such margins and spaces that they dwell in were for a long time considered ‘non-economic’ zones, which lacked interest of movements of[Read More...]
Melvin Krazberg who was considered to be father of History of technology proposed six laws of technology in its relationship with society know as ‘Krazberg laws’.

In those days talking about Mughals was a matter of pride and their rich cultural heritage was[Read More...]

Comme je l’avais indiqué au printemps dernier, je porte désormais plainte systématiquement en cas de diffamation à mon encontre.
Je remercie tous ceux qui m’ont soutenu à l’époque.
Nous avons parlé la semaine dernière du renvoi au tribunal de celle qui a ouvert le bal en 2016 : Cécile Vaissié, dont “l’ouvrage” est d’ailleurs visé par plusieurs autres plaintes en diffamation.
Comme je constate régulièrement des diffamations à notre encontre sur les réseaux sociaux, je tenais à faire un rappel non exhaustif des valeurs, principes et positions de ce site.
By Robert Parry | Consortium News | December 5, 2017 A curious feature about the Russia-gate “scandal” is that its proponents ignore the growing number of moments when their evidence undercuts their narrative. Instead, they press ahead toward a predetermined destination in much the way that true-believing conspiracy theorists are known to do. For instance, […]
Jan Oberg comments on the tit-for-tat policies of the U.S. and Russia when they force each other to register their media as “foreign agents”. It is a weak U.S. that cannot accept that it no longer has a virtual monopoly on shaping perceptions of the world. Just find your role and accept that there are […]

Si les médias français ont fort peu bougé, des médias britanniques et allemands ont enquêté sur le reportage de la télévision italienne sur les snipers de Maïdan, diffusé il y a 15 jours.
Il en résulte de sérieux doutes sur la crédibilité de certains témoins, et donc sur le professionnalisme du reportage.
Soucieux de votre bonne information, nous vous les soumettons.
Espérons que le journaliste italien y répondra, et que nous finirons par y voir clair sur ce drame… Nous continuerons à nous y employer, pour notre part.

MEMO | December 5, 2017 A major new survey of American Evangelical Christians has found stark generational differences over support for Israel, Haaretz reported.

I figured that it was time for an update on the situation in Syria.... Over the last while we have seen how the SAA has continued their advances along the south side of the Euphrates River in eastern Syria against US "ISIS" opposition... While on the north side of the Euphrates, the fraud of "ISIS" simply gives up their territory without a fight handing it over to the US-SDF criminal forces...

Israel: An estimated 20,000 people shouted "shame!" in protest against Prime Minister Netanyahu, who is accused of taking bribes from wealthy campaign contributors in exchange for political favors and for trying to block the investigation. Members of Netanyahu's Likud party introduced legislation that would ban police from sharing the conclusions of their investigations with those in political office. This would effectively nullify the investigations regardless of outcome. [...]

(INTERCEPT) — The Trump administration is considering a set of proposals developed by Blackwater founder Erik Prince and a retired CIA officer — with assistance from Oliver North, a key figure in the Iran-Contra scandal — to provide CIA Director Mike Pompeo and the White House with a global, private spy network that would circumvent official U.S. intelligence agencies, according to several current and former U.S.

Whenever a mass murder pops up in the news, many viewers hasten to find out whodunit - where "whodunit" isn't a person, but an affiliation. Is the murderer a Muslim? A non-Muslim who used a gun? A Democrat? Republican? Or just a lone nut who wasn't a "gun nut"?
