Seriously, Fox News?

Seriously, Drudge Report (see headline below)?

Seriously, Rupert Murdoch (Tweeted: Petraeus resignation. Timing, everything suspicious)

So General Petraeus had “an affair” (meaning you don’t believe he had an affair) which caused him to leave the CIA in disgrace?

As much as you would like it to happen, something does not become a scandal before the facts are known – not that that has ever stopped you before.

What IS a scandal is that Fox News and Drudge Report keep trying to create scandals that bring down the President.

I’m sorry but using quote marks to illustrate your non-belief of the story before the facts come out is journalism at its crappiest.

Newsflash to Fox News and company – Your Polls Were Wrong, Barack Obama Is President – suck it up, stop whining and move on.

Here are some of the headlines from high profile news sources after today’s surprising announcement that David Petraeus has resigned as CIA Director following an admission to an extramarital affair:

Yes, Fox News, you might be onto something – David Petraeus is obviously saying he cheated on his wife of 37 years and is throwing his long career and future down the toilet just to cover up for the President’s mistakes in Benghazi.

Get Mitt Romney and Karl Rove on the phone – tell them there is still chance! Ohio is back in play!

    Why did the director of the CIA have a Gmail account?

    • freddy · November 9, 2012

      same reason palin and bush used private email accounts to conduct official business? same reason sarah has a facebook account? same reason sarah’s email account got hacked by guessing a moronic password?

    • Darr247 · November 9, 2012

      So they could exchange messages without it going through government servers, where everything is *supposed* to be kept forever.

      (except for Zomney Apocalypse, who ordered the IT guys to wipe the email servers and personally paid for everyone in the MA governor’s administration to buy the hard drive to their laptop for $25/each, then promptly destroyed them all with a vise and a hammer.)

  2. Jammer 555 · November 9, 2012

    Only in America. It is unimaginable in any other western country. Who cares who the head of the CIA is screwing as long as he was doing his job well and I don’t think that there is any question that Petraeus was a good director.

  3. Jasper · November 9, 2012

    Shocking, just shocking, well, it’s a good thing our presidents don’t do such things… oh wait.

  4. googooyou · November 9, 2012

    get over it…Obama won. Yes, the 3 days after the election is highly suspect if the investigation had been going on for some time. I (redundantly) personally think Petraeus understood the revelation before the election would be huge and unilaterally decided to wait to resign until after the election; however, I do not understand why it had to be so shortly after the election and not during the normal transition change up–that is, unless someone was holding onto the information to release anyway, which no media outlet seems to have been aware of. However, the conspiracy theory about timing for Benghazi is rather absurd, since Congress can and will (if he doesn’t voluntarily testify) subpoena him.

  5. Door · November 9, 2012

    You dumb ass. Read the resignation letter. Betray us is tight with O.

    He doesn’t get out of testifying by resigning.

    There is no smoking gun here. The drone video will show THAT.

    • gayle loveland · November 9, 2012

      You’re WRONG, Door—-MSNBC just announced Patraeus DOES get OUT of testifying because of his resignation—–The ACTING CIA chief is going to testify IN HIS PLACE—-who’s the dumb ass????

      • Darr247 · November 9, 2012

        Apparently you are, gayle. You can bet they’ll be hauling him in to testify… if not about Benghazi, then about how Broadwell got classified info without an active security clearance.

  6. Tom Baker · November 9, 2012

    It is a crime to have an affair as an officer in the military. This is the shot heard round the Obama Adminstration. The Ambassador who was killed reportedly made an arms deal with the Syrian rebels by taking all of the weapons seized from the Libyan rebels and putting them on a ship the day he was killed. This could become the Oliver North Iran/Contra disaster for Obama because one could conclude that Biden has his hands all over this mess.

  7. Jerrel Palmer · November 9, 2012

    this is just the start of 4 more years of ugly stuff thats been going on under this presidents watch ! it’s going to be a long 4 years , but you get what you ask for so now enjoy it !

  8. Bill Keller · November 9, 2012

    To all of you, there are times such as this when we would be a better nation as French speakers.

  9. Ralph Cramden · November 9, 2012

    Reportedly she had access to his email. That was what the FBI was investigating. Can you dig it? The top spy head honcho was sharing his email account with a parmour. For cryin’ out loud what else was he sharing with his biographer who is a married woman? Foreign spy agencies love that kinda stuff Russians especially have been known to take advantage of it. Major fail man, resign.

  10. Backwards · November 9, 2012

    The guy heads up the CIA, for chrissake. Does anyone know what the woman’s MO was,or details on her background, besides being an “over-achiever”? That’s it? The whole story stinks like a rotting corpse after 3 days in 95 degrees and 98% humidity.

    DP was nothing special: he didn’t turn anything around in the completely fabricated, shameful war in Iraq, that a few 100+ million dollars to couldn’t fix to buy time to work out the Iraq version of Vietnamization, so we could di-di as if we did something noble.

    Why would anyone take, at face value, Dave’s letter of resignation?

    Anyone?

    How about giving the tale time to work its way out? Perhaps, the truth will emerge. Or not. A lot of assumptions going on here.

  11. Silvertop · November 9, 2012

    So unfortunate that temptation succeeded in this person who has so much to offer to our country. Just leave a crack at the door, and the tempter steps in and ruins your life.

  12. Tatersalad · November 9, 2012

    Does anyone smell a dead fish and it is named Barack Obama? When the Benghazi killings are finally open to the public and found, it will reveal that it is going to be the “biggest criminal cover-up” in American history. Mark these words! Pay particular attention to item #4 below:

  13. Danny Boy · November 9, 2012

    Another reason, and probably the major reason, for his affair can be seen by looking at his wife. Unfortunately for her, she hasn’t aged well.
    Broadwell’s fawning attention and obvious availability would have had had him drooling.

  14. Miker · November 9, 2012

    Wow, this is getting pretty damn ridiculous, ain’t it? I just thank god that our President is squeaky clean and can, in no way, be connected to this mess. He has always conducted himself with a great deal of professionalism and class, but he will no doubt have to do some house cleaning and likely get rid of everybody who is not conducting themselves in a fashion that is expected of people in such high and influential positions of power.

  15. William H. Depperman · November 9, 2012

    Materialist Analysis of the U.S. Orchestrated so-called “Arab
    Spring” Regime Change Gambit in the Mideast, Persian Gulf
    And Russia Using “Facebook”-Assisted Invasion by Proxy:

    “FACEBOOK”-ASSISTED INVASION BY PROXY AS IN LIBYA AND SYRIA IS A
    NEW METHOD OF USING A MINORITY TO TRY TO OVERTHROW A MAJORITY
    AND IS PART OF THE U.S. REGIME CHANGE GAMBIT IN THE MIDEAST, GULF STATES AND BEYOND AND REFLECTS THE FINAL STAGE OF CAPITALISM—PERMANENT WAR AND STATE TERRORISM! THE U.S. PURPOSE IS TO STEAL MIDEAST OIL, DESTROY HEZBOLLAH & HAMAS and TAKE OVER the WORLD!

    INVASION BY PROXY ONLY SUCCEEDS IF RUSSIA COOPERATES IN A GOOD COP/BAD COP CHARADE TO FURTHER WORLD IMPERIALIST INTERESTS!

    TIME IS UP! In Syria the USA and Russia have PLAYED FOR TIME to Physically Destroy Syria and Present the World with a Fait Accompli: The Russian Federation has Dispensed with its Charade of “Support” for Syria by Supporting the USA/NATO/TURKEY “NO-FLY ZONE” and Asking Bashar Assad
    To “Step Down.” Russia has Demonstrated that it is ready to Turn Syria over to the USA Foreign Mercenaries/Proxies/Jihadists JUST LIKE RUSSIA DID IN LIBYA and IRAQ! The USA and Russia, Playing BAD COP/GOOD COP have Done Everything Possible to Overthrow the Ba’ath Socialist Party-Led Syrian Government! But Despite Death Squads, Mass Provocations, Divide and Conquer and a Barrage of Big Lies to Try to Break the Morale of the Syrian People the “2 Partners” have not been able defeat Syria because the Ba’ath Socialist Syrian Government is Supported by the Overwhelming Majority of Syrians!! RUSSIAN SPECIAL FORCES have Been in Charge of Syrian Military Forces for Almost Six Months and Have Deliberately Sabotaged the Syrian Strategy and Tactics of Working With Civilians which Permitted Easy Roundups of USA Mercenaries/Death Squads as in Tremseh! For Almost 6 Months Russia has Traitorously Directed Syria to HALT the Practice of Sending in Ground Forces in order to Permit USA Mercenary Proxies to OCCUPY Parts of Syria! Instead Russia has Directed the Syrian Air Force to Bomb and Maximally Destroy Areas where USA Proxies are Reported, with the Intended Effect to Alienate the Syrian People! Capitalism is Fundamentally Based on War, Mass Murder, Crime and Subjugation. The USA War to Overthrow Syria is a Prime Example! Syria Needs IRAN’S Immediate Direct Military Assistance to Prevent the USA Overthrow Attempt, WHICH IS NOT A “CIVIL WAR,” A FALSE DESIGNATION DESIGNED TO DISCOURAGE ASSISTANCE BY IRAN! The ONE-WAY DYNAMIC OF CAPITALISM has driven The So-called “Arab Spring” as A USA-Orchestrated Regime Change Gambit throughout The Mideast and Persian Gulf! Russia Chimes in with ALL USA Provocations and the Majority of USA False Propaganda or Else Remains Silent! The USA has Directed its Proxies to Fire Mortars into Turkey on a CONTINUOUS Basis thus Exposing this Documented USA False Flag “Attack”/Provocation Used to Serve as a False Pretext for Turkey to Officially Call for and Now Obtain a USA/NATO Article 5 “No-Fly Zone!” The USA False Claim that Syria is About to Use Chemical Weapons is “Weapons of Mass Destruction” Iraq Déjà Vu all over again and is USA Pretext for “No-fly Zone!” The USA Resorted to Escalating Provocations because their Proxies WERE LOSING, while Physically Destroying Syria! (See: New York Times, October 4, 2012) Russia in an Undeniably Obvious Quid Pro Quo Covers Up the USA-Directed False Flag Provocation by Condemning Syria at the United Nations (!) and Falsely Labeling Relentless Turkish Shelling of Syria: “Justified Turkish Retaliation!” (RT, October 7, 2012) Russia Gets Nothing for Its Quid Pro Quo Except False Promises to Pull Back on “Missile Shield,” while Digging its very own Gorbachev-Stalinist, anti-Communist Grave! The USA is waging Escalated Economic War against the Russian Federation Combined with and Unrelenting Attempt to Overthrow the leadership of the Russian Federation and Install a USA Puppet as in the Former Warsaw Treaty Countries
    Turned over to USA Imperialism by Gorbachev starting in 1988!

    Because the USA mercenary Jihadist proxy forces were being relentlessly and systematically bottled up, defeated and annihilated everywhere in Syria ON THE GROUND, despite their replenishment by the USA and its puppets, the Russian Federation deliberately misadvised Syria to stop sending in its ground forces after its air attacks in order that the USA mercenaries would be able to live to regroup, recuperate, reorganize, rearm and fight another day, and also so that they would be able to physically OCCUPY certain areas in Syria, which they have now been permitted to do largely due to the deliberately treacherous “advice” of the Russian Federation! It is clear that Russia is working directly hand-in-glove with the USA to overthrow Ba’ath Socialist Syria, falsely claiming “Russia is neutral” and talking about “transition” and making it sound “inevitable,” which it is NOT, while pretending “Russia seeks peace” while giving the USA UNLIMITED TIME TO MAXIMALLY DESTROY SYRIAN INFRASTRUCTURE and TO ALLOW THE POPULATION TO BECOME PROGRESSIVELY DEMORALIZED. Russia refuses even to provide Syria with more modern weapons, or even to return repaired helicopters if the USA says “No! No,” while allowing the USA to arm its proxy Jihadists TO THE TEETH with Stinger Missiles and even Russian Sam-7s or the most modern Russian SA-14s, SA-16s, SA-18s or SA-24s!! The USA mercenary proxies have been photographed with all of these weapons systems! Undoubtedly supplied by Russia through the USA! (See: New York Times, November 13, 2012) “Take your pick, Jihadists!” By late November 2012 Syrian jets were being routinely shot down every day! But Russia says No to Syrian ground forces! And NO to direct Iranian assistance! With “friends” like the Russian Federation Syria needs no enemies!

    Russia moreover discourages Iran from coming to the direct aid of Syria and putting boots on the ground, which would end the USA proxy invasion ON THE SPOT! In addition, the Russian Federation has brainwashed Bashar Assad to make bizarre pronouncements such as: “In the event of a foreign invasion of Syria, the fallout would be too dire for the world to bear.” HUH? Come again? That is TOTALLY RIDICULOUS! Syria is already experiencing a foreign proxy invasion admittedly led by CIA Special Forces since early August 2012 exactly like in Libya (Reuters, August 2, 2012), which is ALL that is REALLY necessary! See below. The Russian Federation has totally BRAINWASHED Bashar Assad, an excellent ophthalmologist but a completely naïve “leader,” to believe that malarkey so he would not think to call for direct INFANTRY and ground force support from IRAN! If the Russian-hypnotized-puppet-Bashar Assad refuses to call for aid from Iran and lets the USA escalate its war against Syria, then Hezbollah must act on its own and directly attack and destroy USA/Turkish patriot missile batteries on the border with Turkey and mount other LARGE GROUND offensives against the USA/“Israel” proxies in Syria! Progressive forces in the Mideast CANNOT just stand back and allow the USA to overthrow Syria. Iran and Hezbollah will be next! That is a certainty! The USA has already directed its puppet Lebanese government forces (!), to invade the Syrian border province of Homs as it became known on November 30, 2012 when Syrian forces killed 17 depraved Fascist “Lebanese fighters.” (See: BBC, November 30, 2012) The USA-puppet Lebanese government refused to defend Lebanon against the USA/“Israel” in the 2006 USA/“Israeli” Air War and Invasion of Lebanon, which had the objective to bomb Lebanon back to the Stone Age.

    The USA/“Israeli” threat to bomb Iran with the VERIFIED FALSE CLAIM—by IAEA Mohamed ElBaradei and multiple USA Combined Intelligence Reports, that Iran has a “nuclear weapons project” is primarily to intimidate Iran from directly coming to the aid of Syria rather than just talking about it! Meanwhile the FALSE FLAG PROVOCATIONS CONTINUE with the USA directing its mercenary proxies to fire weapons into so-called “Israel” and Jordan in addition to Turkey allowing both Turkey and Jordan to make requests to NATO for Patriot Missile antiaircraft missile batteries (New York Times, November 7, 2012), which would finally create a NO-FLY ZONE despite all denial! (See: BBC, November 21, 2012) Russia treacherously calls Bashar Assad a “weak leader,” while talking about “transition (to a USA puppet!)” as great thanks to Assad for following Russia’s opportunist instructions to the letter, while expecting help, which NEVER EVER will come from Russia! TIME IS NOT WORKING IN SYRIA’S FAVOR! The understatement of the day! The Russian Federation is counting on TIME to present the Ba’ath Socialist Syrian government with a Fait Accompli, which Russia actively and passively supports in practice instead of genuinely trying to stop the USA destruction of Syria and preserve an independent Syria. Russia could end the USA Proxy War to Overthrow Ba’ath Socialist Syria: 1.) by presenting an open honest materialist analysis of the USA attempt to overthrow Syria and 2.) suggesting that Iran put boots ON THE GROUND IMMEDIATELY and help defeat the USA-backed and directed foreign aggression! The declared objective of the new USA organized so-called “National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces” is to overthrow Ba’ath Socialist Syria and set up a USA proxy government in waiting for Syria precisely as was done with Libya, a creepy scene directly out of the nightmare Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)! (See: New York Times, November 1, 2012)

    The name “Bashar Assad” is a codeword and a shorthand for Ba’ath Socialism, which is the REAL TARGET along with Syrian alliances with the Hezbollah and Palestinian National Liberation Movements! There is no “uprising” in Syria and there is no “civil war” in Syria and there is no “revolution” in Syria (what a horrible joke)! The USA is trying to overthrow the Ba’ath Socialist Party-led government of Syria with an army of USA proxies composed of very heavily armed (not “lightly armed”) domestic (50%) and foreign mercenary Jihad/Sharia-oriented Islamic Fundamentalist (50%) forces according to one of the founders of Doctors Without Borders, Jacques Beres. (New York Times, September 11, 2012) All are openly paid by the USA through Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar! (BBC, April 1, 2012) The USA supplies their Syrian Proxies/ mercenaries/contras with salaried payment (!) and weapons passed through Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, none of which possess an arms industry! In order to try to hide this obvious, repeatedly fully documented fact and repeated open admissions that the USA arms its Syrian mercenaries through Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and in order to try ridiculously to make their attempted regime change/coup d’etat in Syria appear to be “home grown” the USA runs articles preposterously asserting that most of their Syrian mercenaries’ weapons are “homemade!” (Front page: New York Times, August 29, 2012) The USA has also made the absurd claim that the majority of the Syrian army can just hardly wait to defect to the USA/“Israeli” side (!) and give up that “horrible Ba’ath Socialism” in favor of Jihad, Sharia and Islamic Fundamentalism!” (BBC, September 10, 2012) Yech! But the USA has recently been forced to retract that bizarre claim. (New York Times, October 4, 2012) Neither a foreign invasion nor a domestic proxy invasion orchestrated and armed by the USA, nor a coup d’etat attempt qualifies as “civil war.” There is no civil war in Syria! The attempted overthrow of a sovereign state—Syria—by the USA, which entirely defines the situation, is also NOT a “proxy war! Syria needs the help of Iran on the Ground to completely eliminate the USA mercenaries. Exposing the attempted overthrow of Syria by the USA using Al Qaeda and affiliated Jihadists defines the actual situation and would allow complete victory by Syria. Russian “diplomacy” is a deception! The RT Sophie Shevardnadze interview exposed Bashar Assad as totally brainwashed.

    The USA has organized and now directs virtually every military move of their Fascist/Jihadist forces primarily through direct wireless contact with their mercenary proxies and through social networking Internet websites, the USA puppet-leadership of the United Nations, the EU, so-called NGOs and phony so-called “Human Rights” Groups, a formula it has begun to use worldwide to create division and to destabilize dozens of countries! The USA has chosen to use Jihadists/terrorists both domestic and foreign in Syria as in Libya and elsewhere because THEY ARE FANATICS AND WILL GLADLY FIGHT TO THE DEATH and EVEN WELCOME IT! (See: Libyan Analysis below!) The USA objective in Syria is to eliminate Ba’ath Socialism, destroy the Syrian/Iran funded Hezbollah and Palestinian national liberation movements, and clear the deck for maximal capitalist exploitation, chaos, subjugation, division and confusion all driven by the One-Way Dynamic of Capitalism now in its Final-Stage! Syria needs the direct military and political support of IRAN in order to defeat the foreign and domestic mercenaries of the United States and world imperialism! Artillery and air strikes DO cause collateral damage and ARE sometimes counter-productive, but the truth is that air strikes would not need to be so destructive if Syrian ground forces were airlifted immediately to the sites. In addition, Russia may also have advised that Syrian air strikes should be as destructive as possible under the pretext that it would supposedly intimidate the USA proxies, when the actual result of any unnecessary destruction is very counterproductive, but does aid the actual fully documented Russian agenda to betray Syria to the United States. (See above and herein.) Propaganda exposing the USA attempt to overthrow Syria should be dropped in the areas where the proxies have been permitted to occupy explaining what it would really mean for Syrians and what actually happened in Libya. The overwhelming amount of property damage in Syria is primarily due directly to bombs, weapons and intentions of the USA and its Proxy mercenary invaders (see below), who are being given maximum passive support by Russia, which previously abandoned Iraq and Libya, while it now allows the USA to physically destroy and overthrow Syria piece by piece, while it digs its very own Gorbachev/Stalinist, anti-Communist grave. According to the October 4, 2012 New York Times the attempt to overthrow the Syrian government has stalled and the “commanders (of the USA proxies) have given up trying to entice defectors…and others have resorted to more desperate measures: cajoling, duping, threatening and even drugging and kidnapping military men to get them to change sides, or at least stay out of the fight.” Also according to the NY Times (!), an increasing number of Syrians recognize that the USA objective in Syria is to generate the same chaos and destruction carried out by the USA in Libya. The USA has installed a puppet government in Libya with phony “elections” and “parliament” with virtually no popular support and no army popular or otherwise to occupy their newly destroyed country. The USA capitalist dictatorship is on track to leave Syria with the same chaos and destruction in an attempt to prevent the Syrian masses from being able to unite to oppose a USA proxy takeover!

    Part II of the USA/Turkish F-4 Phantom Shoot-Down Provocation

    Realizing that they were on the verge of complete loss militarily and as the Syrian people have united as much as possible against this obvious U.S. INVASION BY PROXY the USA ordered Turkey to initiate Part II of the USA/Turkish F-4 Phantom Shoot-Down Provocation (see below for Part I) and have directed their proxies to carry out continuous, non-stop cross-border attacks/provocations known as a “False Flag” Provocations in order to take advantage of the Syrian attempt to re-establish control of their border crossing at this location. In addition, the USA ordered its mercenary proxies in Syria to fire into Jordan and so-called “Israel,” always falsely blaming “Syrian forces. ”The fact that the mortar fire from Syria into Turkey does not stop indicates that it is without doubt a provocation by the USA/Turkey. According to the Turkish newspaper Yurt the mortars used to attack the Turkish town of Akcakale are NATO mortars and were provided to the so-called “Free Syrian Army” by Turkey (RT—Russian Television website), October 9, 2012). (Note that USA world capitalist media Big Lie campaign falsely alleging “Syrian Cluster Bombs” (see below) is also meant to block with these reports of USA mortars, etc. being used in False Flag Provocations.) Meanwhile Russia pretended to accept this provocation as GOOD COIN, a transparent PROVOCATION which was obvious to many from the start (!). Russia even CONDEMNED SYRIA in the UN Security Council in the strongest possible terms along with the USA, while the majority of articles on the RT website ridiculously spoke of “Turkish Retaliation” in order to try to enhance the credibility of that USA provocation! Russia even instructed Syria to “APOLOGIZE TO SYRIA (!)” for what was an obvious PROVOCATION by the USA/Turkey! And Syria foolishly complied with Russia’s opportunist bidding to apologize!!! Apology by Syria (!?) was designed by the Russian Federation as a means to have Syria falsely admit GUILT (!) for acts of provocation carried out by the USA/Turkey! Historically, the Soviet Union has also given this kind of deliberately tracherous advice repeatedly in order to sabotage the interests of “allies” of even the Pre-Gorbachev USSR! (See below.) Totally disgusting! That the daily mortaring of Turkey from Syria by USA proxies is in fact a deliberate False Flag Provocation was also confirmed by the fact that the Syrian offer to create a 6-mile buffer zone along the Turkish-Syrian border was rejected out-of-hand by Turkey/USA, due obviously to the fact that Turkey would not be able to claim that the shells were being fired by the Syrian Army, which would not be present within 6 miles of the Turkish border! Russia is thus going along with the USA 100% in this False Flag provocation and totally selling out Syria, setting Syria up for a USA/NATO Article 5, “No-fly Zone” with deployment of Patriot Antiaircraft Missile batteries on the Turkish border!

    The Russian Federation Falsely Disassociates from its USA
    “Partners” with a Media-Hyped DOG AND PONY SHOW!

    In an elaborately staged, media-hyped act of false disassociation from its USA “partners” Russia pretended to act so highly indignant when Turkey carried out an otherwise pointless brazen act of air piracy using USA F-16s to force a commercial Syrian passenger jet which included 17 Russian nationals traveling from Moscow to land in Turkey and falsely accused Russia of aiding the Syrians by bringing in “prohibited war materiel” and later falsely claimed “munitions” and “ammunition!” Sergei Lavrov admitted on October 12, 2012 that the plane contained radar parts! Since Syria is not being attacked by air, such parts could NEVER be construed as war materiel! But that was never the point! This little incident was a provocation organized by all 3 countries entirely to hide Russia’s role as facilitator for the United States overthrow of Syria by deliberately standing back and allowing Syria to be destroyed to a degree otherwise only achievable with a No-Fly Zone! And then helping the USA to actually impose one! Although NATO cautioned that “no one succumb to provocation,” in what was an obvious False Flag provocation, indicating NATO awareness of the attempt by USA/Turkey to start a war with Syria, imposition of a USA/NATO Article 5 “No-Fly Zone” is imminent! USA/Turkey previously escalated their provocation by deploying USA F-16 fighter jets to the Syrian border after Syria used helicopters to annihilate USA proxies in Azmarin (Reuters and RT, October 12, 2012) There is undoubtedly a secret QUID PRO QUO behind Russia’s support for USA False Flag Provocations—undoubtedly false promises of reduced USA deployment of its European/worldwide “missile shield” being used to encircle Russia and China. Russia dream on!

    The USA Provides Cluster Bombs to its Mercenary Jihadist Proxies to Use
    Against the Syrian Civilians and Then Use the Big Lie Technique to Blame Syria!

    On October 13, 2012 the USA mouthpiece, so-called “Human Rights Watch” started the BIG LIE claim that Syria was supposedly using cluster bomb anti-personnel weapons! (BBC) And on November 26, 2012 again the BBC falsely reported: “Syria cluster bomb attack ‘kills 10 children.’” But Syria possesses no cluster bombs! ONLY the USA and its proxy “Israel” possess and have used cluster bombs, most recently in Lebanon in 2006 where the USA/“Israel” dropped millions of cluster bombs along with regular munitions in order to try to “bomb Lebanon Back to the Stone Age.” Even years later the USA/“Israel” refused to provide Lebanon with a detailed map of where they were dropped! All cluster bombs are manufactured by the United States and provided free to the “Israelis” and the USA mercenary proxies in Syria for use against civilians—for which they are primarily designed!!! A percentage of cluster bomblets are deliberately designed NOT to explode immediately upon impact, but to remain in the environment until they experience a secondary disturbance due to handling, almost always by unknowing civilians, usually children! The USA use of cluster bombs goes hand in hand with the USA-trained Death Squads in Syria. See below.

    There is no “civil war” in Syria! The ridiculous claim by the so-called “International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)” that the U.S.-led attempt to overthrow the overwhelmingly popular supported Syrian government is a “civil war” is a Big Lie, which the USA and its stooges have inflated like a balloon primarily in order to try to prevent intervention by Iran as well as continue to obscure what is a USA Invasion of Syria by mercenary proxies! Note that the American Red Cross has been an arm of U.S. “intelligence” since before and during the Russian Revolution! The USA also controls the ICRC which is operated as a covert intelligence agency of the United States using its supposed “humanitarian medical mission” to gain access to intelligence targets. The USA directed its puppet ICRC to falsely declare that Syria is in a “civil war” in order: 1.) To discourage Iran from actually coming to the defense of USA proxy-invaded Syria. 2.) To cover up the USA attempt to overthrow the Syrian government and 3.) To declare that Syria (!) be subject to the Geneva Convention, to which the USA is NOT subject in any way whatsoever, in order to be able to label the entire Syrian government as supposed “war criminals” to be subject to the International Criminal Court—A CREATION OF THE UNITED STATES—to which the USA OUTLAW REGIME is not subject!! 3.) The USA has pulled all the strings of its domestic proxies in Syria from the beginning and is clearly directing each and every phase of the war and virtually every military target in its attempt to overthrow the Ba’ath Socialist Syrian government from some “Situation Room” probably within the United States in Washington, D.C., just as drone attacks in Afghanistan and elsewhere are openly directed from CIA headquarter in Langley, Virginia. On September 26, 2012 the USA had its proxies organize suicide bombers to set off small bombs on the outside and just inside the perimeter fence of the Syrian General Staff Command so USA and its proxies could claim Syria was about to fall. (See: Washington Post, Sept. 26, 2012) And on November 28, 2012 the USA directed its depraved mercenary proxies to set off 2 more suicide bombs in Jaramana, a Druze and Christian suburb southeast of Damascus killing 34 and wounding 83 in an attempt to generate “a pervading sense of fear and insecurity” (BBC) and panic and maximal division and then blame Bashar Assad and Ba’ath Socialism. The USA goes all out!

    The Syrian government has announced that it will take some time to totally eliminate the USA proxies. But by November 2012 it is clear to any honest person who knows what is happening that Syria actually needs boots on the ground to defeat the USA proxies! Prior to Russian “advice” not to send in ground forces to mop up the USA mercenary Jihadists, the Jihadists were being killed in the very same houses which they had taken over after throwing out the original local occupants. See below. During that period the Syrian Ba’ath Socialist government (!) was then hypocritically and bizarrely accused of “atrocities (?)” by USA-led world imperialism. (!)” (BBC, August 28, 2012). Note that the USA/NATO killed tens of thousands of Libyans and has covered it up in the process of destroying $billions upon $billions in Libyan infrastructure in the USA/NATO “No-fly Zone” in their Quid-Pro-Quo with Russia for Libyan oil in exchange for Russian WTO membership! (See below!) The execution of the cutthroat USA Libyan Ambassador Christopher Stevens (No, he was NOT a “James Bond” or some kind of “nice guy!”), along with 2 private military contract killers and 1 false propagandist in Libya on September 11, 2012 apparently by an Al-Qaeda related group and the attacks on many other USA embassies and consulates worldwide over anger at the trailer to the carefully designed USA anti-Islam film, “Innocence of Muslims,” whose director was later hung out to dry, is an example of provocation collateral damage which comes home to roost and demonstrates that he who lives by the sword of imperialism dies in this case by his OWN sword wielded by the very same Islamic Fundamentalists/“rebels”—“activists” ordered by the USA to go in and execute ALL survivors of USA/NATO systematic air destruction of Libya! Obama’s bizarrely and ridiculously hypocritical 2012 speech at the General Assembly decrying “violence and extremism (!)” is in the same context as awarding Obama the Nobel Peace Prize (!) prior to the USA virtual declaration of war against the entire world and its own people—innocent civilians! Protest against the USA film is good, but because by design it is all presently being led by religion the objective and the importance of abolishing capitalism worldwide through a Socialist Revolution in the center of world capitalism, the USA, is never broached and not understood. See below.

    The USA knows Syria better overall than its own proxy army and is clearly directing all military strikes and provocations against Syria, carried out in such a manner so there would appear to be a far larger proxy army than actually exists! An example was the mid-July—and continuing, relentless and escalating “bomb democracy” attacks in Damascus and then Aleppo followed by the temporary, and then permanent, seizure of some border crossings, all staged to try to make it appear that Syria was under siege in a “Final Battle” hilariously but also portentously entitled (by the USA!): “Operation Damascus Volcano!” What a joke! It is well known that a city is unfavorable ground for even a very heavily armed minority proxy guerrilla army in areas with narrow curving side streets such as Salah al-Din in Aleppo and some areas in Damascus, and elsewhere, where they had been repeatedly surrounded and bottled up and were in fact being liquidated. Since the Syrian ground forces have been pulled back as apparently directed by the Russian Federation, the Jihadists have relatively flourished and been able to claim they “occupied” certain primarily rural areas. (See below.) The defection of Syrian Prime Minister Riad Hijab on August 6, 2012, an opportunist who suddenly claimed to be an Islamic Fundamentalist opposed to Ba’ath Socialism, who favors the USA overthrow of Syria and a Libya-type outcome (Oy!), will not change the situation in Syria except to serve as a false propaganda weapon! Iran’s declaration in Damascus that Syria is part of a vital regional alliance that Iran will not allow to be broken” (by the U.S.-led imperialist Fascist AXIS) is a strong declaration of support but Iran has done nothing to help Syria directly. (See: BBC, August 7, 2012). Hijab’s preposterous claim that the Ba’ath Socialist government controls “only 30% of Syria” was just another BIG LIE meant to try to demoralize the Syrian masses and paint a false picture of the reality in Syria. (See: BBC, August 14, 2012) The Russian Federation is doing its best to discourage Iran from actually coming to the direct aid of Syria, which should be done IMMEDIATELY!

    The so-called “RED LINE” for chemical weapons use” is part of a siege of false propaganda (see Top Headline!), but which The Peoples Republic of China (PRC) apparently have taken very seriously as a U.S. pretext for a provocation for a USA/NATO “No-Fly Zone.” (BBC, August 22, 2012) On December 4, 2012 the NAZI demagogue Obama threatened Syria with “consequences” if it used chemical weapons—WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION (!)”—against its own people! (Obama, when are YOU going to STOP beating your wife?!) A “No-Fly Zone” seems to be what is in the works with Turkey’s relentless shelling of Syria after the USA apparently ordered its proxies/mercenaries to fire mortars at Turkey from Syrian territory! See above. Another BIG LIE and THE prime false propaganda campaign has been the claim that “Bashar Assad’s days, meaning the days of Ba’ath Socialism and Syrian support for Hezbollah and the Palestinians, are numbered!” Says who? The Syrian majority still supports Bashar Al-Assad BECAUSE OF Ba’ath Socialism, and because of Syrian support for national liberation movement Hezbollah and the Palestinians, despite the resignation and defection of the traitors, Hamas chief Khaled Meshal and Prime Minister Ismail Haniya to USA/“Israel!” (Read: Syrian repudiation of traitor Meshal: New York Times, October 2-3, 2012) Syria and Iran both must stop accepting “advice” from the Big Brother Russian Federation! But it has become increasingly apparent that the Russian Federation has promised the USA a Syria reduced to rubble primarily through the weak-willed Bashar Assad being willing to completely abandon the control of all the military and politics of Syria to Russia, who with some fast talk, has been able to lead Syria to almost total destruction!

    The USA/ “ISRAELI” 8-DAY WAR ON GAZA WAS REALLY ABOUT SYRIA!

    IN ADDITION TO TRYING TO INTIMIDATE IRAN FROM COMING TO THE
    AID OF SYRIA, THE REAL REASONS FOR THE USA/“ISRAEL” WAR ON
    GAZA INVOLVE DIVIDE AND CONQUER OF THE PALESTINIANS:

    The USA Bought Off Syrian Ally Hamas Leaders with Threats and Bribes then
    Directed its Stooge “Israeli” to Bomb GAZA in an “8-Day War” in Order: 1.)
    To Try to Restore CREDIBILITY of its Newly Bought-Off Hamas Traitors and
    2.) To Try To Generate Credibility of the USA Puppet Governments of Egypt,
    Turkey, Qatar, etc. who Support the USA Attempt to Overthrow Syrian Ba’ath
    Socialism and 3.) To try to Manipulate Palestinians both Inside Syria, in Occupied
    Palestine and in Other Countries to Support USA Mercenaries/Proxies against Syria!
    4.) The USA-Puppet United Nations Upgraded Palestine to “Nonmember Observer”
    Falsely Portrayed as “rebuke” to USA/“Israel” Setting Basis for Unity with Hamas!

    With the full understanding that Fatah and the so-called Palestinian Authority had no further genuine credibility or “authority” among Palestinians, the USA/“Israel” proceeded to first bribe and BUY OFF the TRAITOR Khaled Meshal of Hamas, who deserted Syria after apparently being told that the Russian Federation was setting Syria up for defeat and was in charge of ALL Syrian military strategic and tactical decisions and Syrian politics and that Bashar Assad was in a daze and did not know what was happening and that Russia was in the process of handing Syria over to the USA just like Libya. Meshal jumped ship and retracted all support for Ba’ath Socialist Syria and moved from Damascus to Qatar, met with USA and “Israeli”-puppet Egyptian Dictator Moslem Brotherhood Mohamed Morsi (BBC, July 19, 2012) and U.S./“Israeli” puppet Jordan’s King Abdullah. Meshal then supposedly resigned (temporarily) as the leader of Hamas on September 23, 2012 in order to avoid challenges from Jabari. THAT was the actual reason that Hamas, which HAD represented the majority of Palestinian Sunnis, moved their offices out of Damascus, Syria! (See: New York Times, October 2-3, 2012)

    The USA and so-called “Israel” want to have Meshal, Haniya and “Hamas” reunite on some basis with the Palestinian Authority-Fatah and help regenerate credibility of the hugely discredited Mahmoud Abbas and Fatah and the so-called “Palestinian Authority,” which on November 29, 2012 was predictably granted: ”Nonmember Observer State” status by most of the same 130 plus countries of the General Assembly which had been previously been threatened, bribed and blackmailed to sign a resolution CONDEMNING SYRIA (!) while the majority of the populations of those same countries SUPPORT Syria overwhelmingly against the USA mercenaries/proxies. The very next day USA/“Israel” OKed the construction of 3000 new homes in the West Bank and East Jerusalem demonstrating that the UN vote: 1.) Looked good but was a fraud in practice and 2.) The true futility of a “Two-State Solution!” (The only solution is One Secular State of Palestine! (See below.) HAMAS, now run by traitors, Khaled Meshal and Ismail Haniya, both of whom the USA/“Israel” has bought off, will retain little credibility once the Palestinians realize that Meshal and Haniya are bought-off USA sellouts and may want to OFFICIALLY recognize so-called “Israel,” which they have now done in practice by signing a cease fire with “Israel,” where Hamas agrees to SUPPRESS all active resistance in GAZA against “Israel” in exchange for promising to open the border crossings to “Israel” and to USA-puppet Egypt. The leadership of BOTH “Israel” and Egypt think Palestinians are just a problem, a problem which somehow should be eliminated! Hamas, which had NOT been part of the ongoing and relentless missile strikes against so-called “Israel” for years, which had been led by ISLAMIC JIHAD, suddenly joined with the other Islamic groups in firing rockets into “Israel” after the assassination of Jabari in order to try to buttress the credibility of its sell-out “leaders” as supposedly still being “opposed to “‘Israel’” and to try to reverse their most recent image as BETRAYERS of the CHIEF PALESTINIAN ALLY—SYRIA! The USA began the buy-out of the Palestinians in GAZA with a tiny $400 million (USA-authorized!) token gift from the emir of Qatar, who visited GAZA on October 23, 2012 in order to try to bamboozle the Palestinians into thinking Qatar, a chief USA ally against the Syrian Ba’ath Socialist government, is the friend of Palestinians! GAZA needs well over a hundred $billion to actually start to rebuild the entire city of GAZA and environs destroyed by USA/“Israel,” not a measly $400 million to build a couple of housing complexes and a prosthetic center to deal with the limbs lost through the continuous non-stop, escalated and now temporarily halted USA-authorized “Israeli” air attacks! No amount of token monetary gifts can change the political and economic reality in GAZA!

    WHAT HAPPENED? On November 14, 2012 the USA authorized so-called “Israel” to assassinate Ahmed Said Khalil al-Jabari, the head of the military wing of Hamas, by a much ballyhooed USA/“Israeli” aerial pinpoint bombing for the unstated reason that Jabari opposed Haniya and Meshal’s betrayal of HAMAS and their support for the USA overthrow of Syria. Jabari had become the de facto leader of Hamas after the traitorous betrayal and defections of Meshal and Haniya to the USA/“Israel.” Hamas had not fired rockets into “Israel” for years and could NOT have been assassinated for THAT REASON! But Jabari apparently strongly opposed such betrayal and treachery by Meshal and Haniya and refused to abandon the original political positions of Hamas, which included SUPPORT FOR SYRIA and NO recognition of so-called “Israel.” With Jabari’s assassination Meshal and Haniya were in a position to return and reclaim “credibility (?)” in a leadership role. After assassinating Jabari, “Israel” immediately moved to regenerate credibility for Haniya by “bombing the disgraced Haniya’s vacated house (RT, November 15, 2012) Oh, look! The USA/“Israeli” Bombing of GAZA was simply one more Dog and Pony Show, a WAR OF PROVOCATION in order to manipulate and confuse the Palestinians and the World, while sacrificing the lives of over 160 Palestinians, which is NO PROBLEM for the USA/“Israeli” mass murderers! The PRIMARY PURPOSE of the USA Bombing of GAZA, which began with the admitted targeted assassination of Jabari, the CHIEF OPPONENT of the Meshal/Haniya SELLOUT of the Ba’ath Socialist Syrian Government, was designed to eliminate Jabari and to attempt to simultaneously FALSELY DISASSOCIATE the new USA-Hamas puppets, Meshal and Haniya, from their new USA/“Israel” masters and help to regenerate their credibility, both in Occupied Palestine and in SYRIA to try to reverse Palestinian support for Ba’ath Socialism and Syrian support for Hezbollah! Simultaneously the sudden USA/“Israeli” Bombing of GAZA began with an otherwise unexplained escalation of air strikes and reported “Israeli” troop mobilizations, supposedly under the pretext of Palestinian rocket attacks, which had been ongoing for years! The USA then directed its puppet governments of Egypt, Turkey, Qatar to travel or send emissaries so they could demagogically: “Stand with the Palestinians” and attack “Israel” for slaughtering Palestinians! Why now all of a sudden? What a JOKE! Hopefully the majority of Palestinians won’t be fooled and will see through it.

    But the USA has total contempt for the political intelligence of the Palestinian masses, just as it has total contempt for the intelligence of the USA masses, a significant percentage of which it is mobilizing to exterminate in escalating economic and biological warfare, and believes that it can at least NEUTRALIZE Middle East-wide Palestinian support for USA-targeted Syria and hopefully manipulate the Palestinians in GAZA and in Syria to support the USA mercenaries/proxies or at least keep them CONFUSED (because a confused person cannot act!) and to generate enough popular support through the ceasefire for the newly regenerated AUTHORITY for HAMAS misleadership to be able to suppress Islamic Jihad, the main ally of Iran in GAZA, and other political opposition groups in order to reduce or eliminate the rocket attacks and eventually recognize so-called “Israel!” Dream on! This is an example of how the USA hopes to control the Middle East and Persian Gulf and implement DIVIDE AND CONQUER policies made possible through its so-called “Arab Spring” Regime Change Gambit to try to turn the Hamas masses against Ba’ath Socialist Syria, whose support for the Palestinian masses remains STEADFAST as it has always been, but Syria does not support fake leaders who betray ALL Palestinians. On November 22, 2012 USA PUPPET Mohamed Morsi, fully authorized by the USA, which pretended “concern,” issued a DICTITORIAL DECREE, in order to fire the entire Egyptian judiciary and to ram Sharia law down the throats of the Egyptian masses just like Libya was ordered to do by the USA! See below. USA PUPPET-Dictator Morsi is completely opposed by Mohamed Elbaradei and other opposition groups.

    The name “Bashar Assad” is shorthand for Ba’ath Socialism, which is the real target! The USA overall “strategy” for their Islamic Fundamentalist mercenary proxies in Syria (including Al Qaeda just like in Libya! See below) is to simply invade cities, towns and areas and take over people’s homes as their base forcing the local inhabitants to seek refuge elsewhere in public schools and other sites and openly murdering for intimidation purposes a certain number of the overwhelming majority of Syrians who support the Ba’ath Socialist government, while going about willy-nilly destroying Syrian infrastructure, while depending on the USA-controlled world capitalist media to use the Big Lie technique to label Syria as “the aggressor!” This is what has happened in Damascus and Aleppo and throughout Syria! Syrians generally hate and despise the USA and all its proxies! On August 3, 2012 for good measure the USA directed its proxies to bomb the Yarmouk Palestinian Refugee Camp, the home of 150,000 Palestinians in Damascus as a deliberate provocation and then blame the Ba’ath Socialist government for the bombing (!) to try to break Palestinian loyalty to the Syrian government and then claimed to have recruited many Palestinian youths via their false Internet propaganda! The New York Times has openly described what are USA divide and conquer attempts in Syria and Lebanon. (August 23, 2012) In line with its divide and conquer strategy in Lebanon and Syria alike, the USA tried to get its puppet Sunni sheiks in Lebanon to form “Sunni Defense Councils” to attack the overwhelmingly popular Hezbollah, but that obvious USA scheme has been opposed by even the Sunni mufti of Tripoli and northern Lebanon!
