UNITED NATIONS – Former U.S./U.N. Ambassador and State Department negotiator John Bolton tells WND he expects the White House to launch its attack on Syria this weekend.

Bolton went on to suggest that such an attack could come late Saturday night or early Sunday morning.

According to reports in Mint Press News made by veteran Associated Press reporter Dale Gavlak, the chemical attack came from Syrian rebel arms by Prince Bandar, not the Assad regime.

Gavlak writes, “The U.S., Britain, and France as well as the Arab League have accused the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for carrying out the chemical weapons attack, which mainly targeted civilians. U.S. warships are stationed in the Mediterranean Sea to launch military strikes against Syria in punishment for carrying out a massive chemical weapons attack. The U.S. and others are not interested in examining any contrary evidence, with U.S Secretary of State John Kerry saying Monday that Assad’s guilt was ‘a judgment … already clear to the world.’”   Continue reading “Reports: Saudi Prince using U.S. to topple Assad to consolidate own power”

The Daily Sheeple – by Chris Carrington

I have been able to speak to a co-worker of Bashar al-Assad. Assad is a doctor by trade and spent time working in London. A nurse who worked with him routinely has agreed to have her memories and thoughts made public on the condition of anonymity.

“In 1992 I had just qualified as a nurse and was working at the Western Eye Hospital in London when I first met Bashar. He was very quiet and polite with the staff which to be honest was quite unusual. Many Middle Eastern doctors were quite brusque in the way they addressed the female members of staff. He had a very ready smile and never mentioned his connection to the then President of Syria, his father.   Continue reading “I Knew Him Once: “Seeing all that’s happening in Syria, it doesn’t equate to the Bashar al-Assad I knew””

Obama’s first electoral campaign was “Change”. The democratic candidate has come after George W. Bush who led two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Bush’s era costed the American people a lot. Not only Soldiers were returned home in coffins, but also the war costed the US treasury trillions of Dollars.

The main aim of Iraq’s invasion was acquiring the country’s oil and the US-British alliance succeeded to obtain the oil via Exxon Mobil, British Petroleum and Shell, but this huge wealth is actually pumped for Petroleum companies.   Continue reading “Obama in trouble!”

Washington preens itself on being “the world’s greatest democracy.” Washington uses the claim that it is spreading democracy as a justification for its naked aggression–a clear and unambiguous war crime–against other countries. Washington cloaks its illegality in democratic rhetoric despite the obvious fact that its wars are not a consequence of democratic decision.

Washington has used deception and lies to gain acceptance of its extra-constitutional and extra-legal wars, but Washington’s wars have all been launched outside the constitutional/democratic framework of the United States.   Continue reading “Obama Reveals His Dictatorship – The Isolation of America”

President Barack Obama says the US should take military action against Syria and he will seek congressional authorisation for intervention.

The US says the Syrian government carried out chemical weapons attacks on 21 August in which 1,429 people died.

Mr Obama said the operation would be limited in duration and strong to deter future chemical attacks. Congress is due to reconvene on 9 September.   Continue reading “Obama to seek Congress vote on Syria military action”

The US Navy admits its underwater training and experiments will result in the deaths of hundreds of dolphins and whales over the next five years – but insists that its testing program is essential.

Computer models showed that the Navy will likely kill 186 whales and dolphins off the East Coast and 155 near the coast of Hawaii and Southern California – its main operation areas – between 2014 and 2019.    Continue reading “Open-sea US Navy testing will kill hundreds of dolphins and whales”

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) — A suicide bomber detonated his explosives near a police checkpoint and a bank in southern Afghanistan on Saturday, one of two attacks in the heartland of the insurgency that killed 18 people over 24 hours. Separately, a NATO service member was killed by insurgents in the country’s east, according to a military statement.

No group immediately claimed responsibility for any of the attacks, but Afghan President Hamid Karzai blamed the bombings on the Taliban. The militants have escalated their activity as U.S.-led foreign forces reduce their presence in the country and are in the final phase of handing over responsibility for security to Afghan troops.   Continue reading “Attacks in southern Afghanistan kill at least 18”
