From Syria to Venezuela

Of Israel Shamir

A few days ago, with an Ilyushin IL-62M transport plane over one hundred Russian soldiers and officers arrived in Caracas. Symbolically, they had stopped in Syria, as if they wanted to reiterate that Venezuela is the next country, after Syria, which must be saved from ruin and dismemberment. The military mission was led by the Chief of Staff, il generale Tonkoshkurov ("prickly", a name that would have made Vladimir Nabokov happy).“Don't even think about it, John Bolton had exclaimed, to intrude into the Western Hemisphere! Hands off Venezuela! It's our backyard!”The Russians didn't play along. Some time ago they had tried to object to US tanks being positioned in Estonia, a short distance from St. Petersburg, and all they got was a lecture that sovereignty means sovereignty, and that Estonia did not need to ask permission from the Russians to receive military assistance from the Americans. Now they have repeated this American sermon verbatim to John Bolton and his boss. First, get out of Syria, they added.
This is a new level in Russian-American relations, or we should rather say comparison.For a long time, the Russians had convinced themselves that their admiration for the United States was mutual, o, at least, which would one day be reciprocated. In any case, this period is over, they opened their eyes and finally realized America's implacable hostility. Read More

Moscow and Washington will sanction London, Paris and Tel Aviv?

Moscow and Washington will sanction London, Paris and Tel Aviv?
Source: Comedonchisciotte
The clash of Laodicea could result in an overall redistribution of the cards on a global level. For two reasons, one of which, the second, is hidden from the Western public. The first reason is that the clash cost the life of 15 Russian soldiers; the second is that not only Israel is involved in the incident, but also the United Kingdom and France. This is potentially the most dangerous crisis of the last few 60 years. The question now is whether President Trump, in the midst of the legislative election campaign, will be able to support President Putin, so that the United States and Russia can sanction the colonial powers, as they did together in 1956, during the Suez crisis.

Il 20 September 2018 the Chief of Staff of the Israeli Air Force, general Amikan Norkin, he hastily arrives in Moscow to present his version of events. After checking the evidence presented by Norkin and comparing it with the other recordings, It turns out that Israel is blatantly lying.

Il 17 September 2018 France, Israel and the United Kingdom carried out a joint operation on Syrian targets. During the short fights, a Russian reconnaissance plane was shot down by friendly Syrian fire. Analysis of recordings shows that an Israeli F-16 hid behind the Ilyushin Il-20 to mislead the Syrian defense.

Populism, sovereignism and billions to poverty... one can give oneself courage

Populism, sovereignism and billions to poverty... one can give oneself courage
Source: Comedonchisciotte
At the beginning of the eighth chapter of “The Betrothed”, our Don Abbondio, what one cannot give oneself "courage", while he was casually reading a book, he happens to read the name of a philosopher by chance “Carneades who was he?”, which he knew nothing about, except that perhaps he had heard of it at least once along the way, useless course of his life.
Now we could say the same thing... what kind of animal is "politics".? A weeder that is disturbing just to mention, or a unicorn straight out of some sort of contemporary bestiary. If politics cannot be given courage, what is it for? Now it seems that the yellow/green government has plenty of courage, determined to free himself from the financial pockets he has been thrust into.
Demagogic maneuver said some barn owl on a media tour, forgetting that the DEF finally represented the affirmation of politics on finance, challenging the mesh of European vetoes and constraints, which have contributed to increasing the level of poverty in Italy, reduced to the bottom of the EU.

L'Europa fra Soros e Bannon

Of Rosanna Spadini
Europe between Soros and Bannon
Source: Comedonchisciotte
Scrive Eric Zuesse, are strategic-culture.org, that two political camps, one led by George Soros, and the other created by newcomer Steve Bannon, they entered into competition for political control of Europe. Soros led the big capitalists for a long time liberals Americans for control of Europe, and Bannon is now organizing a team of conservative billionaires to snatch victory from the liberals. So the two factions of 'philanthropists' will now fight for control of the political consensus and European institutions. However, they will struggle to keep Europe as an ally in the war against Russia, but each team will do so from different ideological perspectives. Just as there is a liberal-conservative political polarization between capitalists within a nation, there is also another polarization among capitalists regarding their nation's foreign policies. None of them are progressives or left-wing populists. The only 'populism' that any capitalist currently promotes is that of Bannon's team. Anyway both teams demonize each other for control of the US Government, and internationally for control of the entire world, opposing two different visions of the world: liberal and conservative, or rather globalist and nationalist. Both then say they support 'democracy, but instead promote the spread of "democracy" through the invasion and occupation of "enemy" countries. […] Read More

Putin's strategy is finally starting to work?

Of Paul Craig Roberts
Putin's strategy is finally starting to work?
Source: Comedonchisciotte
I have already had the opportunity to explain that attitude, typically Christian, of Russian President Vladimir Putin to turn the other cheek to Western provocations is a strategy intended to convince Europe that Russia is reasonable while Washington is not, and that Russia is not a threat to the interests and sovereignty of Europe, while Washington is. Appeasing Israel and withdrawing from the Iranian multinational nuclear non-proliferation agreement, American President Donald Trump may have contributed to the success of Putin's strategy.
The three largest European vassal states of Washington, Great Britain, France and Germany opposed Trump's unilateral action. Trump believes that the multinational treaty depends only on Washington. If Washington were to renounce the agreement, this would represent the end of the agreement itself. The will of the other signatories does not matter. Consequentially, Trump wants to reintroduce pre-existing sanctions on trade with Iran and impose additional ones, new sanctions. If Great Britain, France and Germany continued to honor the commercial contracts stipulated with Iran, then Washington would also sanction its own vassal states and ban English companies, French and German to operate in the United States. Washington obviously believes that the profits that Europeans have in the United States exceed those that can be obtained in Iran and thinks that [the Europeans] they will adapt to Washington's decisions, as well as, from vassal states, they have already done so in the past.

How much longer will we continue to pretend that the Palestinians are not a people?

Of Robert Fish
How much longer will we continue to pretend that the Palestinians are not a people?
Source: Comedonchisciotte
Monstrous. Frightening. Wicked. It's strange like today, in Middle East, the words are simply missing. Sixty Palestinians dead. In one day. Two thousand four hundred injured, more than half from live ammunition. In one day. These numbers are an outrage, an escape from morality, a source of infamy for every army.
And we should believe that the Israeli army is that of the “purity of weapons”? And we have another question to ask. If I'm there this week 60 Palestinian deaths per day, what will happen if there are any next week 600? O 6.000 next month? Israel's squalid justifications (and the crude American response) they raise exactly this question. If we can now accept a massacre of this magnitude, how long our immune system can handle in the days, in the weeks and months to come? Read More

Italy is a strange country, we see "unified networks" broadsides raining down on the Government in the process of being formed and this happens precisely from people like Monti, Berlusconi, Bossi, Renzi, Study Program, Veltroni, Padoan and Cottarelli (FMI…), who since the time of the Moro murder have contributed to devastating the country, in ideology and practice, polluting its culture and exporting its well-being.
To name a few, the “Riforma Treu” of work which has brought precariousness to monstrous levels, compressing the economy and causing insecurity, the rules of entry of foreigners functional to the downward competition between Italians and foreigners regarding wages and social rights, the knowledge reforms which have weakened the role and figure of the teacher (inwards and outwards) and destroyed the civic sense of the country as well as the quality and meritocracy of the school, the contemporary and dramatic comparative flattening of the level of competitiveness of our universities implemented at the beginning of the millennium which made, moreover, i university baronies even more "expensive" and politicized, the “Divide et Impera” implemented by 1994 (acting on obsolete grudges and ideologies) which polarized Italians into "right" and "left" (theoretically appropriate dynamics) but transversally (!) given that the main division should have been between city instances (contemptuously defined as “populist”) real economic and those of speculative income, primarily those of the large financial corporations (rooted abroad) with their very powerful political-institutional-lobbying apparatus (…), the Bank of Italy/Treasury divorce, the privatization of banks and shares of Bankitalia (…), the next one theft of our gold reserve, the wild liberalizations of capital and supplies which have increased the cost of living, the emptying of the CGIL now reduced to a moribund business committee, the Franco-German financial technicalities passed off as “Europe” which have uprooted and are uprooting huge slices of well-being (tens of billions a year) with pro-bank and pro-multinational rules that have high unemployment and high taxation as their "net profit"., the ideological exaltation of globalization.

These are the questions any journalist should ask the Israeli army

These are the questions any journalist should ask the Israeli army

As these lines are written IDF snipers have killed more than 40 Palestinians near the Gaza barrier and injured others 2,200, a dozen are believed to have been mortally wounded. At the same time you read these words, the numbers have probably already gone up. IDF spokesman used to claim his snipers were 'in danger'. When you hear these words, think aboutoperazione Speedy Express.
Speedy Express was flown by the US Army's 9th Infantry Division in the Mekong Delta in 1969. The US military claimed to have killed 10,899 opposing fighters. He just suffered 244 losses. Being in Saigon, a young genius called Alexander Demitri Shimkin, a veteran of civil rights marches, he perplexed his fellow journalists with a strange pastime: he took the trouble to actually read the official press releases and tabulated what was written.
After a few months, Shimkin put together a strange statistic: the 9th Division claimed to have killed 10,899 fighters but had only captured 748 weapons. Shimkin's conclusion was simple: the disparity between deaths and captured weapons means that the majority of those killed in Speedy Express were not combatants but civilians. It was problematic for Shimkin to find a publisher willing to publish this first example of data journalism and Newsweek published it only in 1972. Nonetheless, the publication caused a political firestorm, with the US military forced to take refuge in the desperate claim that “many guerrilla units were not armed with weapons”. Read More

At the end of this article, it will be clear which nation will be next to be invaded and devastated by the United States. O, in the absence of this, what will be the next nation that our military and intelligence industrial complex will try to invade at all costs.
We would all like to know why America does what it does. And I don't mean why Americans do what we do. I think this question could be asked, in many centuries, some future professor, as he shows his students a telepathic video of some current UFC fight [Ultimate Fighting Championship – mixed martial arts] where the contestants kick each other in the face in front of a cheering crowd (not for one or the other of the two combatants, but rather for (view) more kicks in the face).
But we all seem to take America for granted, understood as an entity and as a corporation, has some kind of higher motivation for his behaviors, for the actions carried out by its ruling class. But, in practice, Most of us realize that the reasons fed to us by press officers and ridiculous evening news anchors are the most rotten, smelliest bullshit there could be.. Read More

A poem: "il Mondialismo"

Of Francesco Mazzuoli
Globalism
Source: www.comedonchisciotte.org
It rhymes with Americanism
Europeanism
“multiculturalism”
violence and conformism.
With the privatization of healthcare
and that of the pension
with the control of opinion
and the promotion of homosexuality.
With euthanasia also for Mary's children
the uterus for rent
taxes on home ownership
the reduction of wages
the children called Abdul and not Mario.
With unemployment until the age of non-retirement
permanent precarious employment
the politically correct
the end of our culture
and soon also some small coffee. Read More
