„Washington needs international legitimacy,” says head of the Center for Socio-Political Studies Vladimir Yevseyev. “In fact, the Americans are fighting not for Iraq but for Iraqi Kurdistan. Judging by the location of their airstrikes, they are at pains to make sure that the Kurds do not suffer. Hence the question: Aren‘t the Americans going to set up a de jure independent Kurdistan?

He noted that Syria has handed official documents and facts to the UN Secretary General that prove the involvement of the governments of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Jordan in supporting Jabhat al-Nusra and the other terrorist organizations.

The information even included the phone number of the Qatari officer who was “coordinating for the kidnapping of the Fijian UNDOF personnel, al-Jaafari noted.

“The UN General Assembly however did not lift a finger regarding that,” he lamented.

US defence secretary says the strikes will include control structures, logistics capabilities and infrastructure.

„I will not commit you, and the rest of our armed forces, to fighting another ground war in Iraq,“ Obama told troops at the U.S. Central Command in Tampa, Fla.

After a briefing with military leaders at CENTCOM, Obama said forces in Iraq and Syria must fight ground battles against the Islamic State, a jihadist group also known as ISIL and ISIS.

At MacDill, President Obama reaffirms U.S. combat position.
TAMPA —

The insistence that austerity and economic rationality, rather than the welfare of the citizenry, be the primary concerns of the government is not politics. It is the death of civic virtue. The government’s system of wholesale surveillance and the militarization of police forces, along with the psychosis of permanent war and state-orchestrated fear of terrorism, are not politics. They are about eradicating civil liberties and justifying endless war and state violence. The chatter about death panels, abortion, gay rights, guns and undocumented children crossing the border is not politics. It is manipulation by the power elites of emotion, hate and fear to divert us from seeing our own powerlessness.

Today Congress will vote on the McKeon Amendment, a piece of legislation most Americans haven‘t heard of.

The consequences of the vote today are grave: funding Syrian „rebels“ will precipitate a new and wider war in the Middle East.

In this article I detail eight major reasons why Congress should vote NO on the McKeon Amendment to the Continuing Appropriations bill, which itself predicts how US trained rebels will attack US military. The projected costs of this debacle are at least $21 billion.

Yavelsky and Lobel’s monoclonal antibody-based therapeutic approach was proven as a successful potential treatment by their colleagues in the US military, and at several other laboratories.

Social media, local news, and mobile phone data are helping researchers develop tools to track and predict the path of the ongoing Ebola outbreak.

Nine days before the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the Ebola epidemic, a “mystery hemorrhagic fever” was spotted by HealthMap, software that mines government websites, social networks, and local news reports, among other sources, to map potential disease outbreaks. Run by researchers based at Boston Children’s Hospital, HealthMap uses “online informal sources for disease outbreak monitoring and real-time surveillance of emerging public health threats,” according to its website.

“Die Situation in Liberia ist in der Tat dramatisch”, sagte Merkel dazu. Man werde “sehr schnell agieren” und einsetzen “was wir zur Verfügung” haben, so Merkel.

„We hope this decision by the United States will spur the rest of the international community into action,“ she said in a written statement read out by Information Minister Lewis Brown at a press conference.

In a statement on Wednesday, the source said that the destructive role played by the Turkish government when it comes to Syria has become clear, as this government harbors terrorists, trains them, arms them, and facilitates their entry into Syria, in addition to providing them with chemical materials – something which the Turkish judiciary is still investigating – and purchasing oil stolen from Syria by ISIS gangs, not to mention dismantling Syrian factories and stealing their components in order to undermine infrastructure and the progress made by Syria in the field of development.

Last week, Obama announced a strategy to re-defeat the terrorists in Iraq. But instead of listening to his commanders this time around, Obama once again rejected the advice of . . . you guessed it . . . Gen. Lloyd Austin.

General Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, continues to be clear in that President Obama does not listen to his generals nor does he take their advice. The Washington Post reported on Monday,

U.S. Central Command leadership will brief President Barack Obama and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel this morning at MacDill Air Force Base on a wide range of efforts to degrade and defeat the Sunni insurgent group Islamic State, including plans to train vetted Syrian fighters in Saudi Arabia, top military leaders told senators Tuesday.

Obama arrived in Tampa on Tuesday evening and will meet with Centcom commander Gen. Lloyd Austin III and other leaders at MacDill, including members of the Centcom international coalition.
