US, Israel directly implicated over Saudi carnage in Yemen: IRGC

Devastating weapons were used for this attack, to kill as many as possible

Blown to pieces

[ Editor’s Note: This was a war crime on steroids. It has the classic “target of opportunity” fingerprint of a large number of government people attending the funeral of the father of the Interior Minister Jalal al-Roweishan, estimated at 1500.

The Iranians have revealed their (or their friends’) capacity to know what is in the sky over Yemen. The best surveillance aircraft and drones were monitoring this target, so you can expect an equal effort was being put into monitoring cel phone traffic (via their cel phone numbers) of those attending, to measure how big the catch could be.

There is virtually no chance that this was a mistake, other than the Yemenis making a huge mistake in not thinking the West and its number one Gulf State terror proxy would never attack this many non-combatants at such a function. I wish they had called VT first, as we could have assured them that they could… and would.

So now we will see what the blowback will be, which I will predict will be minor. But it might give us an important string to pull, about which I have editorialized to no avail, getting state-sponsored terrorism squarely on the table.

General Petraeus was effectively the father of ISIS

No Security Council member needs to fear having a resolution passed against it doing such an attack, because it can simply veto the resolution. All Security Council members have a legal, free pass to do this if they can control the bad PR fall out, and the West has a clear advantage in that regard.

The latest and best example of that has been General Petraeus’ financial backing of the Sunni Bath Party officer corps as a way to “control them”, which he was successful doing.

They now form the backbone of the officer corps for ISIS who, with some special help that allowed them to do it, took Mosul with only 5000 troops and quickly shifted a huge amount of stored US reserve, heavy weapons over wide open territory to Syria, without anything but a few token airstrikes by the US.

Once the bulk of it had been moved, then the US ramped up its interdiction campaign to have some videos to show.

This was later followed by feedback we got from angry US pilots who where not allowed to strike the huge oil tanker convoys on their way to Turkey, which was kept out of the news for a long time, but were ordered to bomb empty buildings sometimes to beef up the US “strike” statistics… Jim W.

The “nuke ’em” angel of no mercy herself

[ Editor’s Note: Kiev’s terrorist attack “invasion” of Crimea has killed two Russian servicemen, whereas Ukraine’s claim of Russian invasion and takeover of Crimea did not kill anyone. What’s wrong with the picture?

The answer to that is the most overlooked missing link in the whole Ukraine upheaval. For a coup to become successful legally, it must establish control over the entire country, or it is a failed coup.

Those areas that are able to successfully oppose and reject the coup, who did not vote in the election to validate it cannot be called rebels, because the coup “rebels” overthrew the government in Kiev that Crimeans were loyal to.

Having been a part of Russia during modern history, and the majority population having been Russian, it does not take a rocket scientist to understand Crimea’s urge to reunite with Russia to annul Nikita Khrushchev having given it away to Ukraine. To that we can add the spectacle of the Neo-Nazi MP in the Rada ranting from the podium about what they were going to do to the ethnic Russia in the Donbass area.

Nor have we forgotten Yulia Tymoshenko’s taped conversation about her wanting to “nuke” all the ethnic Russians in the Southeast, and then continue on killing them in Russia. Good gosh, what’s not to love about that if you’re a Russian living in Crimea?

Des forces spéciales Allemandes et Françaises en Syrie : « un acte d’agression »

Le jeu de chaises musicales du gotha des Forces Spéciales continue en Syrie

 Remarque de l’éditeur : Cette histoire est à la fois ancienne et nouvelle. Les rapports sur la présence de Forces Spéciales Américaines et Britanniques sont bien connus, mais ceux sur les Français et les Allemands le sont moins.

En règle générale, les anciennes puissances coloniales sont toujours présentes dans les zones de conflit où elles ont des intérêts sur place, et se préoccupent peu de ne pas y avoir été invitées.

Les Allemands ont nié avoir leurs troupes sur le terrain, mais de telles dénégations sont de la routine, parce qu’en tant que pays membres des Nations Unies, ce type d’agissements violeraient de nombreux accords internationaux. Les Nations Unies ont tendance à ne pas insister sur ce phénomène problématique, ce qui montre à quel point l’ONU met des œillères sur le fait que des Etats membres puissent énumérer et choisir quels accords ils respecteront.

Les membres des Opérations Spéciales clandestines sont d’abord chargés de la collecte du renseignement, par des troupes au sol permettant de tenir leurs pays respectifs informés de la véritable situation sur le terrain. Là où il y a une multitude de factions combattantes, il est difficile d’évaluer une politique cohérente lorsque ce qui se passe vraiment ressemble à un jeu de devinettes.
