Syrie – Plus cons que les opposants syriens ( *OSDH et *CNS) tu meurs !

Opposants syriens ou terroristes ? Le deuxième vocable est mieux. Enfin , je pense. Le fait que Bachar al-Assad se méfie des journalistes occidentaux a une explication. Sachez que, ce qui a tué Gilles Jacquier, c’est sa curiosité ( déformation du métier) et son a-priori défavorable à l’encontre du régime syrien (propagande négative). Il voulait aller filmer des cadavres, après les premiers tirs d’obus de mortier des terroristes contre un quartier pro-Assad. Passons.

MOSCOW, (SANA) – Russian former Prime Minister, politician and academic Yevgeny Primakov, affirmed that Russia will not allow the Libyan scenario to be repeated in Syria through Security Council.
In a seminar held in Moscow on Friday, Primakov said that the mechanism used by the NATO in Libya was a very grave precedent, as it used a vague Security Council resolution to legitimize military intervention and support one side in a war in an independent country.

Un accord secret a été trouvé entre les renégats du CNT et les Etats-Unis, pour venir à bout de la vraie révolution qui commence en Libye. D’après nos informations, un premier contingent de ces soldats en provenance de Malte  s’est implanté à Benghazi pour tenter de mettre fin au sit-in des anti-CNT qui n’en démordent pas. Une rumeur a même couru dans les rues de Benghazi faisant état d’une tentative d’assassinat  ratée contre Moustapha Abdeljalil, le chef du CNT, à l’aide d’une bombe artisanale.

9th January, 2012

Vladimir Putin is one of the few remaining world leaders with the gumption to obstruct Washington’s agenda of full spectrum dominance. The recent Russian elections provided the context for a full-scale attempt to destabilize the country. Spearheaded by the infamous National Endowment for Democracy, the script included the usual cast of western-coached characters, including a blogger, without which a “color revolution” would not be complete. Engdahl analyzes the geo-political ramifications of Washington’s rash movements.

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu’s visit to Iran doesn’t appear to have gone well. The rhetoric is all Turkey’s — and in a subtle way, Iranian official media have been gently mocking at it. The fact is, Turkey cannot afford such poor relations with almost all its neighbours — Iran, Syria, Iraq, Armenia, Cyprus, Israel. With France and EU, too, things are rocky.
