Dear Fellow Americans: Do You Have Any Idea What’s Being Done In Your Name In Syria?
Americans have some vague understanding that the U.S. wants Syria’s Assad to go, while Russia wants him to stay.
And Americans know that the U.S. “war against ISIS” hasn’t done much, while the Russians have been pounding Syrian targets with jets.
But Americans have no idea that the U.S. is deploying fighter jets designed solely to engage in plane-to-plane dogfighting … in order to counter the Russians.
And we don’t understand that the U.S. is arming the Syrian “rebels” with shoulder-fired weapons to bring down airplanes (this comes a week after ISIS may have used a Manpad to shoot down a Russian civilian airliner.)
Americans don’t know that sending Manpads into Syria and trying to establish a no-fly zone is what Al Qaeda leaders have been ASKING FOR, and that ISIS and Al Qaeda will end up with all of the weapons which the U.S. sends to Syria.
Americans don’t know the history of American regime change in Syria:
- The U.S. carried out a coup in Syria in 1949
- In 1957, the U.S. president and British prime minister agreed to use Arab extremists – including the Muslim Brotherhood – to effect regime change in Syria
- In 1991, the U.S. hawks started planning another round of regime change in Syria
- The U.S. has been arming the Syrian opposition since 2006 … years before the uprising started
Americans don’t know that it was the “rebels” – not the Syrian government – who carried out the chemical weapons massacre in Syria.
Americans don’t know that U.S. backed rebels told Christians, “Either you convert to Islam or you will be beheaded.” Syrian rebels slit the throat of Christian man who refused to convert to Islam, taunting his fiance by yelling: “Jesus didn’t come to save him!” A former Syrian Jihadi says the rebels have a “9/11 ideology”. Indeed, they’re literally singing Bin Laden’s praises and celebrating the 9/11 attack.
Americans don’t know that the U.S. and its allies are largely responsible for creating ISIS, that U.S., Turkey and Israel have all been acting as ISIS’ air force, and that influential American figures are calling for openly arming Al Qaeda … and perhaps even ISIS.
Americans don’t know that Russia and China are catching up to the U.S. military, and that this isn’t a mere proxy war … but is “one step closer” to all out war between the U.S. and Russia.
And Americans don’t know that history shows that empires collapse when they overextend themselves militarily … and fight one too many wars.
Postscript. Americans also don’t know how close we’ve come to the worst-case scenario:
- We came very close to nuclear war with Russia numerous times in the past … and only the courage of a handful of men to disobey the commands of their superiors saved the world
- In 1962, the head of the U.S. Air Force – General Curtis LeMay – pushed president Kennedy to use the “opportunity” to launch a nuclear war against Russia, and was bitterly disappointed that Kennedy instead opted for peace. As highly-regarded reporter David Talbot said recently:
The military in this country and the CIA thought that we could take, you know, Castro out. During the Cuban missile crisis, they were prepared to go to a nuclear war to do that. President Kennedy thought people like Curtis LeMay, who was head of the Air Force, General Curtis LeMay, was half-mad. He said, “I don’t even see this man in my—you know, in my sight,” because he was pushing for a nuclear confrontation with the Soviet Union. And even years later, Curtis LeMay, after years after Kennedy is dead, in an interview that I quote from in the book, bitterly complains that Kennedy didn’t take this opportunity to go nuclear over Cuba. So, President Kennedy basically, I think, saved my life—I was 12 years old at the time—saved a lot of our lives, because he did stand his ground. He took a hard line against the national security people and said, “No, we’re going to peacefully resolve the Cuban missile crisis.”
- One of the world’s leading physicists (Michio Kaku) revealed declassified plans for the U.S. to launch a first-strike nuclear war against Russia in the 1987 book To Win a Nuclear War: The Pentagon’s Secret War Plans. The forward was written by the former Attorney General of the United States, Ramsey Clarke
- The U.S. is so enamored with nuclear weapons that it has authorized low-level field commanders to use them in the heat of battle in their sole discretion … without any approval from civilian leaders. Indeed, some fundamentalist U.S. military leaders want to start a nuclear war in the Middle East
- American, Russian and other experts warn that U.S. and Russian conflicts elsewhere could lead to nuclear war
- Russia has constructed massive underground shelters and taken other actions in anticipation of nuclear war

Exactly what I have been saying for years. Nukes are coming to a neighborhood near you. There are still about 20,000 of them out there waiting to be used and the US has just the psychopaths with their finger on the button that would use them.
However, I suspect that, if Putin sees that event coming, he may authorize a first strike. It would be to his advantage, I think. After all, how long does it take a missile to travel 100-200 miles from the coasts (subs)? Minutes? No hour of warning like in the cold war days. Most of the US cities are less than 100 miles form the coasts. Many are right on the coasts.

The U.S. is toying with planeticide. Ever since the twisted White masses in America crowned an incompetent Blackie only because they are steeped in White Guilt (thanks to Christianity), America has been careening from one disaster to the next. Megalomaniac G. W. Bush was bad enough. The current Afroid, besides allowing an unprecedented ripoff of the national wealth by his “supporters,” likes the idea of indiscriminate massacre by air, using drones and various missiles, and false flag ops to generate support for his fun. (The massive Völkerwanderung now occurring in Europe, though caused by the U.S., is of no concern to him.) Slowly, however, Russia and China (never mind Iran) are beginning to push back. The current, increasing storm of cybersnooping and of preparations for cyberassaults (including satellite nullification) by foreign enemies is only the first step of a very dangerous path.

Mak speaks – However, I suspect that, if Putin sees that event coming, he may authorize a first strike. It would be to his advantage, I think. After all,
Putin is no better nor is the Chinese leadership and this is the danger. I doubt a first strike is possible in the sense of gaining advantage but that is how some think. People that think this way see life subjectively in terms of winners and looser. NUKs at this level are mutually assured destruction and for some reason some have never figured this out. There is no way to avoid the end of the world with this many NUKs available. Nuk winter and destruction of the food chain will kill off the remaining populations in places away from the NUKs like the Philippines within a year.

In the danish news today – they are wondering why US are deploying Air to Air capable dogfighters since IS/ISIS doesnt have any aircrafts and the planes cannot be equipped with bombs for ground targets.
So the USA is worried that Russia might hit ISIS too hard or what is going on?
Davy on Fri, 6th Nov 2015 5:30 am
Peaky, it is the basics of warfare you cover your ass. Russia brought in SU30’s which are air to air fighters. The US is going to counter that. Russia has surface to air defense capabilities. The US and Turkey also have this in Turkey. That is what is going on. Tit for Tat is the name of the game. You play your game of “Risk” with your military assets. Let’s hope they avoid escalating conflict over a sand box of pain and suffering.

Davy, did I say that a nuclear winter would not be bad? But there are many in power on both sides that believe that if they strike first, they will survive the holocaust in their expensive bunkers.
After all, one nuke over the Midwest takes out most of America’s ability to survive. 90% dead the first year, by some estimates. Mad only works if both sides are sane. And you know what psychos are in DC. McCain, Clinton, etc.
I guess we shall have to wait and see who is correct. I hope you are this time, but…
Davy on Fri, 6th Nov 2015 7:05 am
Nope Mak, and I did not say you did. I will say you are a winner and looser kind of guy with your side always seen by you as the winner.

Nobody is winning an all-out nuclear war. NOBODY.

Join up the dots folks. In 1989 as Russian tanks fled Afghanistan, all qeada was left out of work. That war was conducted by using Saudi money to fund hatred for non MuMuslims. The schools of Pakistan pumped out thousands of jihadist men who followed bin laden into Africa then into Europe where they were used by Nato in kosovo as auxiliaries. Then we used to say one man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist. Russia became weak and not worth fighting again. So al qeada was out of work, bin laden realised two things. He was a CIA pawn, and jihadism was a potentiality world changing message. Since 9/11 America tried to put the genie back into the bottle. Al qeada beat the USA in Al anbar province in Iraq. Then the tribes kicked them out. But the sunni tribes would not accept the new Iraq and brought back the jihadis under a new name of Isis Isis.
At the same time OBAMA has tried to follow the right wing neoconservative defence policy outlined by PNAC. This policy calls for the nations of the middle east to be split up and weak, to help Israel, so that the US can finally pull away, but Russia knows the US has quagmire itself and won’t let them out. It’s payback for Yugoslavia. The US will be the main target of ISIS unless the US defeats them, and to do that the US has to aid Iran, it’s a lose-lose situation where every decision is wrong.
America will be left much weaker, because the truth is that America has failed to work with Russia and has instead caused the problems it has today. It’s vindictive persute of ex Russian backed dictators and it’s support of military juntas in Egypt shows America has no friends.

A good summary, Joe.
