Tahrir Square.
But Turkey remains steadfast in northern Iraq, knowing that she has
the full, if tacit, support of Washington and NATO – and the Saudi’s
for that matter.
If Turkey shoots down a Russian plane
it’s called a ‘blunder’ in the western media. If it were a more
serious NATO partner like the UK, France or Germany, not to mention
the US, it might even in the western public opinion become an act of
aggression – an escalation towards WWIII. Turkish acts of aggression
on Russia are just minor provocations, hoping Russia will fall into
the trap of retaliating and starting a direct East-West
confrontation.
Not to forget, Erdogan, once an ally and
friend of President Assad, is a staunch supporter of the US policy
doctrine that Bashar al-Assad must be removed. Isn’t it amazing how
money and power can change friendships? It is reminiscent of then
President of France, Nicolas Sarkozy, who enjoyed financial support
from Mohammed Gaddafi, yet was the initiator of the NATO attack on
Libya in March 2011 which led to the horrendous murder of the Libyan
leader and many of his family members.
Our western world has become a theatre of
lies and deceit. Nothing is ‘mistake’ or ‘blunder’. All is well
planned with a nefarious objective of full dominance by consent of
the common citizen. Propaganda of terror with increasing numbers of
false flags throughout the western world, are terrorizing the people
with fear. Innocent people have to be killed, including invented
attackers, thus subjugating the public into submission, or worse,
into asking for police protection in the form of ever more
repressive measures.
The latest false flag comes in the form
of a warning: On 10 December the US Embassy in Switzerland warned US
citizens residing in Switzerland, particularly in Geneva to be
vigilant for a possible terror attack. Some Jihadists from the Paris
13 November attack may have escaped to Geneva. By inference, the
Swiss Government had to take this warning seriously, lest some
bought Islamists may have indeed caused terror in Geneva – leaving
the city and Switzerland under a ‘We told you so’ blame.
Today, with due diligence and justifying
the alert, Geneva police have arrested two ‘suspects’ – curiously
with Syrian passports, whose homes have allegedly been searched and
– oh wonder – a considerable cache of weapons and explosives was
apprehended. The people will never know the truth, because that’s
police secret.
There is hardly a secure place any more
in the western monotheistic Christian world – secure from false
flags and lies and media manipulation – and secure from being killed
in one of these necessary false flag attacks that justify large
scale reprisals – like bombing Syria into rubble – pushing 11
million Syrians into homelessness and more than 4 million into
becoming international refugees, ‘invading’ the countries of their
hangmen, NATO countries, asking for mercy and shelter.
What an absurd world we are living in.
Absurdity has become the norm of the day – of our despicable lives.
That’s what we convey to our children – the next generation. The new
normal, living in terror, artificially made terror to fear-beat as
many into submission, for the Global Big Dictator with headquarters
in Washington and a succursale in Tel Aviv to fast-step to
full world hegemony.
In the meantime the Pentagon announces an expansion of its global
network of military bases. Unnamed Pentagon officials told the New
York Times on 9 December that
The US Defense
Department (DOD) is preparing to expand its global network of
military bases by establishing a new “string” of bases in countries
stretching from Africa to East Asia, unnamed Pentagon officials told
the New York Times Wednesday.
The enlarged US basing arrangements will include at least four new
large-scale bases or “hubs,” including new facilities in East Africa
and West Africa and Afghanistan, along with a greater number of
smaller camps or “spokes.” The new bases, which the Pentagon
describes as “enduring” bases, will host forces ranging from dozens
of commandos up to 5,000 soldiers at the largest hubs.
