While the media panicked over the halting of NASDAQ stock trading due to a reported bug in the system (more on that shortly), one critical development went under-reported. In fact, it wasn’t reported at all.
If the following from France’s second largest newspaper Le Figaro is accurate, then we must assume that war is now a foregone conclusion.
According to our information, the regime’s opponents, supervised by Jordanian, Israeli and American commandos moving towards Damascus since mid-August. This attack could explain the possible use of the Syrian president to chemical weapons.
According to information obtained by Le Figaro , the first trained in guerrilla warfare by the Americans in Jordan Syrian troops reportedly entered into action since mid-August in southern Syria, in the region of Deraa. A first group of 300 men, probably supported by Israeli and Jordanian commandos, as well as men of the CIA, had crossed the border on August 17. A second would have joined the 19. According to military sources, the Americans, who do not want to put troops on the Syrian soil or arming rebels in part controlled by radical Islamists form quietly for several months in a training camp set up at the border Jordanian- Syrian fighters ASL, the Free Syrian Army, handpicked.

What’s equally as intriguing as boots on the ground inside of the Syrian border is the fact that these troops and intelligence officers reportedly made their way into the country on August 17th, fully four days before reports and images surfaced showing hundreds of men, women and children killed by a chemical weapons attack allegedly at the hands of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
The purported attack, which some experts argue was a set-up, left even the pacifist government of France calling for military intervention. Furthermore, should UN investigators, who conveniently happen to be in-country investigating possible chemical weapons stockpiles, confirm that the attack did take place, then we can expect armed military confrontation in the middle east once again.
Of interest is also the fact the NASDAQ stock market exchange was halted today due to what NASDAQ officials call a technical glitch. Within hours of the ‘glitch’ cyber security experts suggested that this was no accident, but rather, a hack attackoriginating from the “hacking collective” known as the Cyber Fighters of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam, an Iranian backed organization.
Earlier this week President Obama met with the heads of the Federal Reserve, the SEC, the FDIC and several other agencies responsible for monitoring and implementing U.S. financial, economic and monetary policy, indicating that there could be a serious crisis unfolding behind the scenes of our financial system. This comes on the heels of the Federal Reserve claiming that they would begin to “taper” the stimulus, a move that would likely send massive shock waves through domestic and global stock markets.
This is all speculation, of course, but it’s hard to ignore the fact that the US financial system is potentially on the brink of a massive re-collapse, while the Obama administration is actively engaging Syria in what we can only conclude will lead to a broader conflict in the middle east.
Throughout history governments have deflected blame for economic disasters by turning their efforts to a far off enemy and going to war. It’s certainly no accident and it’s a forecast that contrarian observers have made repeatedly as the global economic crisis deepened.
Is this what we’re seeing play out right now?
If so, then the implications are far reaching, because anyone who thinks this is going to be another Iraq are kidding themselves. This time, the Russians and the Chinese have a stake in the game, and they too have been positioning pieces on the Grand Chessboard. Not only have the Russians already advised western nations that the Syrians will be armed with weapons never before seen in the middle east, but they have warned that any military confrontation in the region could potentially go nuclear.
The question then becomes: who were the Russians talking about?
Syria doesn’t have nuclear weapons. Neither does Iran (at least not for a few more months if Israeli intelligence reports are to be believed).
But the United States, Israel, Russia and China do have nukes.
Thus, one can only conclude that the Russians were talking about a nuclear engagement between them… and us.
It’s a realistic possibility also put forth by survival specialist Joel Skousen in his documentary Strategic Relocation and a warning reiterated by a DHS Insider who claimed in June of 2013 that a World War was about to break out and would lead to the deaths of millions.
This is getting real folks. All signs point to a serious confrontation in our near future.
Someone asked yesterday if a market crash could be hidden. I think it can and has at least twice since 08. The nasdaq whatever signaling the second one. How does amerika historically get out of a depression?
Start a war, feed the military-industrial complex.
Monkey boy, the Nobel Peace Prize winner has launched another illegal war of conquest.
Yes the British media has pretty much stated it was Assad despite no proof or even the all important MO, the only objection was a short lived opinion by a BBC journalist since removed that said that it was very unlikely Assad would have used these weapons with the UN bang on the doorstep.
But let us analyse other news, remember the Russians sent in several companies of special forces and marines? Tasked with search and destroy missions to rout out and neutralise agent provocateurs, if the Russians have their Spetznatz running about the place, these are equal to the SAS and certainly an equal to any special forces the US have, the difference being that Russia has thousands of these type of forces, at best the UK could field a few hundred SAS/SBS and I would imagine the US has a lot of its people tied up in Afghanistan and elsewhere, it’ll be like shooting fish in a barrel.
Am I the only one too that notices that Russia and China aren’t even breaking a sweat here? Every stage of this game Putin has smoothly and silently countered it effectively whilst Hague and Cameron squawk impotently at the media when they know damned well no one could surely know for definite but are seizing the chance to try and turn it into an opportunity for another illegal war.
This in my opinion really is the end game now we are entering into, this is America’s “Suez” moment when an overspent and overburdened empire finds out the hard way it is no longer such a potent player, America has nukes and a huge military, Britain entered in the Suez crisis with still a fairly hefty empire and a limited nuclear arsenal and came out broken when ten years before the UK could have pounded Nasser into the dust without a second thought. America never attained pre-emptive capability that Bush so desired and cannot use its nuclear weapons without a mutually waged retaliation, Russia has enough nukes to erase life in North America as has China, to take this to a nuclear war is suicide for either side.
What will define the next steps is whoever in the White House has any sense left, Britain realised in time its time had been and gone and released its empire peacefully, can America do the same?
US forces have been entering Syria for the last 2 years (Covertly) I still have friends that have been to US bases inside Jordan providing support for these operations daily.
“(at least not for a few more months if Israeli intelligence reports are to be believed)”
That was my best laugh all morning. Israeli “intelligence” has been predicting that Iran would have nuclear weapons in a “few more months” for nearly thirty years. Yet as recently as a couple of years ago all 16 US intelligence agencies agreed that Iran has no nuclear weapons development program. Iran is a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (Israel is not), under which they have the perfect right to develop nuclear energy and medicine technology. Iran’s religious leaders have declared that nuclear weapons in and of themselves are a crime against humanity. And through it all America’s political leaders and lamestream media keep acting as if the Iranian bomb program was an established fact. We must like being lied to.
