Syrian Army captures Tall Al-Hattabat and Qatar – Aleppo map update
Early this morning, the Syrian Arab Army – spearheaded by elite Tiger Forces – captured the village of Qatar in the countryside of Aleppo after a brief firefight. Just hours later, Tiger Forces rushed south and captured the village of Tall Al-Hattabat which left more than a dozen ISIS militants dead while their Islamist comrades quickly retreated from the area.
Over the past months, government troops have captured close to 50 villages from ISIS during their eastern Aleppo offensive which initially freed som 314 soldiers that had been entirely besieged by Islamist forces for 35 months. Furthermore, Kurdish fighters further east have also advanced on the Islamic State, thus capturing the town of Tishreen and closing in on the ISIS stronghold of Manbij.

Adelson newspaper suggests Swedish foreign minister deserves assassination for antisemitic DNA
Finally the author arrives at the summation of all the above, with a eugenics-vein, aimed at the Swedish Foreign Minister, who has suggested that Israel’s killings of many Palestinian attackers were “extra-judicial executions” and has called for an investigation of these cases.
“What do the things I have mentioned indicate about Bernadotte? [They indicate] covert anti-Semitism, ignorance and arrogance, cooperation with senior elements in the country and interests that play a decisive role. Has anything changed in the Swedish DNA [my emphasis] in the decades following Bernadotte’s death? Nothing has changed. The Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallström, with her characteristic covert anti-Semitism, with her arrogance, ignorance, and her interest-bound speculation regarding her future Muslim voters – she too seeks to fight the foundations of the State of Israel. I am convinced and certain that her intentions will smoulder, just as all of the undignified count’s intentions did.“
Späht BND am InternationalenStrafgerichtshof? Bundesregierung verweigert Antwort: „Geheimhaltungsinteresse überwiegt“
Die erbetenen Informationen würden so stark schutzbedürftige Geheimhaltungsinteressen berühren, dass das Staatswohl gegenüber dem parlamentarischen Informationsrecht wesentlich überwiege. „Insofern muss ausnahmsweise in einer Güterabwägung das Fragerecht der Abgeordneten gegenüber dem Geheimhaltungsinteresse der Bundesregierung zurückstehen.“

Syrian Kurds are snag in U.S.-Turkey strategy against Islamic State
But while saying ties with the United States were strong, Davutoglu repeatedly referred to the Syrian group — called the People’s Protection Units and known by its Arabic initials as the YPG — as a terrorist organization on par with the Islamic State and as a component part of Turkey’s own Kurdish militants, who have long used violence to try to carve out their own state inside the Turkish border.
“We shared this vision” with Biden, Davutoglu said. “It’s good to see we’re on the same page.”

U.S. Relies Heavily on Saudi Money to Support Syrian Rebels
When President Obama secretly authorized the Central Intelligence Agency to begin arming Syria’s embattled rebels in 2013, the spy agency knew it would have a willing partner to help pay for the covert operation. It was the same partner the C.I.A. has relied on for decades for money and discretion in far-off conflicts: the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Extrem, extremer, am extremsten
Im eigentlichen Israel gehört die Regierung der extremen Rechten an und sie hat einige Elemente, die andernorts „faschistisch“ genannt würden. Das Zentrum und die Linke sind ohnmächtig. Der einzige wirkliche politische Kampf findet zwischen der radikalen Rechten und der noch radikaleren extremen Rechten statt.
@dieLinke @Die_Gruenen ihr werdet noch merken, wie das Wort „Wahlurne“ zu interpretieren ist…

New #DisinfoReview from the EEAS East StratCom Task Force – Disinformation Review: Issue Eleven
Further disinformation about German authorities was reported by Czech pro-Kremlin outlets. In the table, you will see a couple of them claiming that the German government buys Czech prostitutes to satisfy the refugees. These prostitutes then spread the refugees’ sexual diseases among the Czech population, which might, it is claimed, be a revenge for the Czech government‘s unwillingness to accept refugees by the German government and Angela Merkel.
Last week, we showed how pro-Kremlin media invent stories written by well-known Western media to make their reporting more credible. All of the stories were faked. This week, we saw a similar pattern – many stories in pro-Kremlin outlets claimed that Western media presage a catastrophe for the whole West after another “ingenious” move by Vladimir Putin, intended to counter the sanctions against his country. In fact, these “Western media” amounted to one article on a blogging site. The stop-faking site Noodleremover reports on this particular case more thoroughly (http://bit.ly/1niqi0M).
Here, we see a different pattern – instead of making “proofs” up, pro-Kremlin sites pick an existing element, and pervert it into something it is not. The very same happened to a photograph that allegedly depicted Ukrainian nazis. In fact, there were Russian ultranationalists portrayed in the picture (http://bit.ly/1StZoiM).
The false narrative about nazis governing Ukraine is repeated on every occasion. Thus, even the Ukrainian school reform’s aim is in fact just a plan how to turn Ukrainian children to nazis. This piece of “investigation” was reported by novorus.info: http://bit.ly/1V54xvH, and than spread by Czech pro-Kremlin outlets.
This week, pro-Kremlin outlets also claim that the American secret service managed not only to stage the Cologne attacks (see above), but also to help the Bulgarian Prime Minister to get drugs in Libya and weapons to ISIS (http://bit.ly/1TAAonG). In 2009, the CIA also killed Michael Jackson (http://bit.ly/1RONPDe).
