    Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/Daesh) Discussion

    You can find enough sources in the meanwhile which paint a different picture. The IS was used to get rid of him, to get him under pressure. 'The best thing what could happen for Assad were actually the Russians, because they saved his ass. Obama hoped to use Islamic State as leverage against Assad, John Kerry reveals https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/jan/10/obama-hoped-to-use-isis-as-leverage-against-assad-/ Did you listen to the leaked Kerry Audio Files (short ) ? "John Kerry In Leaked Audio Admits U.S. Allowed Rise Of ISIS To Force Assad Out Of Power" which was released by Wikileaks (longer version)

    Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/Daesh) Discussion

    I Iam not that much surprised anymore, enough informations were posted and discussed here which show similar directions. ISIS is a tool used on the chessboard to get rid of Assad, which was planned years before the conflict already if you can believe the wikileaks releases. Remember when the russians did start heavily bombing IS Oil trucks, suddenly the coalition did wake up and before main media did report that sometimes no bombs were dropped by the coalition air missions. The whole conflict would have never been that long with so many casualties without all these influences from powers abraod. Western coalition, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Israel, other arab countries, whatever....

    Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/Daesh) Discussion

    BBC Special Report: Raqqa's Dirty Secret "We took out around 4,000 people including women and children - our vehicle and their vehicles combined. When we entered Raqqa, we thought there were 200 people to collect. In my vehicle alone, I took 112 people.” Another driver says the convoy was six to seven kilometres long. It included almost 50 trucks, 13 buses and more than 100 of the Islamic State group’s own vehicles. IS fighters, their faces covered, sat defiantly on top of some of the vehicles. Footage secretly filmed and passed to us shows lorries towing trailers crammed with armed men. Despite an agreement to take only personal weapons, IS fighters took everything they could carry. Ten trucks were loaded with weapons and ammunition. The drivers point to a white truck being worked on in the corner of the yard. “Its axle was broken because of the weight of the ammo,” says Abu Fawzi. This wasn’t so much an evacuation - it was the exodus of so-called Islamic State. Back in May, US Defence Secretary James Mattis described the fight against IS as a war of “annihilation”. "There was a huge number of foreigners. France, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Pakistan, Yemen, Saudi, China, Tunisia, Egypt...” The coalition now confirms that while it did not have its personnel on the ground, it monitored the convoy from the air. When he finally made it back to safety, he was asked by the SDF where he’d dumped the goods. “We showed them the location on the map and he marked it so uncle Trump can bomb it later,” he says. Freed from Raqqa, where they were surrounded, some of the group's most-wanted members have now spread far and wide across Syria and beyond. more here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-sh/raqqas_dirty_secret

    Germany General

    German Towns Filled With Refugees Ask, ‘Who Is Integrating Whom?’ Earlier influx of foreigners feeds concerns about budget, safety, jobs and the quality of education SALZGITTER, Germany—Late this summer, Nadine Langer took her six-year old to her first day at school. The girl was one of two German children in her class, she said, amid 20, mostly Syrian, refugees. “I am not against foreigners,” said Ms. Langer, 41. “But there is a point where we have to wonder who is integrating whom.” Some 140,000 asylum seekers have entered Germany so far this year—a sharp drop from the 1.2 million who arrived in the past two years. But in places such as Salzgitter there is a sense that the government, having housed and fed the newcomers, is failing in the longer-term effort to integrate them in German society. This unease, pollsters say, boosted the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany at last month’s election, making it the first far-right party to enter parliament in half a century. A national school report released Friday showed a correlation between rising numbers of migrant schoolchildren and a deterioration in academic performance. In 2016, the share of foreign fourth-graders rose by one third to 34% from 2011, according to the education ministry, while the number of children who passed standard writing requirements dropped to 55% against 65% five years earlier. more: https://www.wsj.com/articles/german-towns-filled-with-refugees-ask-who-is-integrating-whom-1508074522

    Russia General

    Yet Another Major Russia Story Falls Apart. Is Skepticism Permissible Yet? Last Friday, most major media outlets touted a major story about Russian attempts to hack into U.S. voting systems, based exclusively on claims made by the Department of Homeland Security. “Russians attempted to hack elections systems in 21 states in the run-up to last year’s presidential election, officials said Friday,” began the USA Today story, similar to how most other outlets presented this extraordinary claim. This official story was explosive for obvious reasons, and predictably triggered instant decrees – that of course went viral – declaring that the legitimacy of the outcome of the 2016 U.S. presidential election is now in doubt. So what was wrong with this story? Just one small thing: it was false. The story began to fall apart yesterday when Associated Press reported that Wisconsin – one of the states included in the original report that, for obvious reasons, caused the most excitement – did not, in fact, have its election systems targeted by Russian hackers And now we have the Russia-hacked-the-voting-systems-of-21-states to add to this trash heap. Each time the stories go viral; each time they further shape the narrative; each time those who spread them say little to nothing when it is debunked. more to read: https://theintercept.com/2017/09/28/yet-another-major-russia-story-falls-apart-is-skepticism-permissible-yet/

  10. Russian meddling machine sets sights on Catalonia The global network that acted in favor of Donald Trump and Brexit turns attention to Spain After undercover campaigns in favor of Brexit and the leader of the French right-wing party National Front, Marine Le Pen, as well as the far-right in Germany, the Kremlin is using the Catalan crisis as a way to deepen divisions within Europe and consolidate its international influence. It appears in the form of websites that publish hoax stories, the activity of activists such as WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and a legion of bots – millions of automated social media accounts that can turn lies into trending topics. In a week in which the Spanish judiciary and the government disarmed the logistics of the illegal referendum, the most influential tweet on the issue, according to media monitor NewsWhip, was published by Assange on September 15 at 6.46pm.

    European Politics Thread.

    --> UK Government wants to penalize uncoverings by Journalists: Whistleblowing Government advisers accused of 'full-frontal attack' on whistleblowers (The Guardian - 2017, Feb. 12) Outcry follows plans to radically increase prison terms for revealing state secrets and to prosecute journalists Draft recommendations from the legal advisers say the maximum prison sentence for leakers should be raised, potentially from two to 14 years, and the definition of espionage should be expanded to include obtaining sensitive information, as well as passing it on. A spokesperson said: “The proposals to threaten journalists and whistleblowers with draconian punishment, combined with powers just introduced in the [2016] Investigatory Powers Act to surveil journalists without their knowledge, represent a further attack on freedom of expression. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/feb/12/uk-government-accused-full-frontal-attack-prison-whistleblowers-media-journalists

    U.S.A. Foreign Policy & Defense

    1983 CIA intelligence report: America should encourage Saddam Hussein to attack Syria to secure oil pipeline to Med and Gulf America urged Saddam Hussein to attack Hafez al-Assad, 1983 CIA report said Ex-CIA official Graham Fuller said US should 'urge Iraq to take the war to Syria' This was because Assad had closed Iraq's oil pipeline and so had a 'hammerlock' on US interests in both Lebanon and in the Gulf America urged Saddam Hussein to attack Hafez al-Assad's Syria because of the closure of Iraq's oil pipeline, a secret 1983 intelligence report has revealed. A report, by former senior CIA official Graham Fuller, said the US should consider 'urging Iraq to take the war to Syria', noting that Saddam was 'fighting for his life' in the Iran-Iraq campaign. With that being the case, he said the US should consider 'sharply escalating the pressures against Assad' from three border states hostile to Syria - Iraq, Israel and Turkey. Faced with 'three belligerent fronts', Assad would probably be forced to abandon his closure of the pipeline, the report claimed. more... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4140190/America-urged-Saddam-attack-Assad-Syria.html And before you say, but this is the Daily Mail....link to the specific document and CIA release: https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP88B00443R001404090133-0.pdf
