Das U.S.-Imperium, mitsamt seinen Ablegern „Europäische Union“ und N.A.T.O. und deren „atlantischen“ oder „pro-europäischen“ Lobbyisten und Höflingen, hat mit seinem gescheiterten Militärputsch in der Türkei einen epischen Schiffbruch erlitten. Die geostrategische Lage auf dem Planeten hat sich entscheidend verändert.
Nun versucht die Führung der seit fünfzehn Jahren im als „weltweiten Krieg gegen den Terror“ getarnten Eroberungsfeldzug befindlichen Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika die Lage irgendwie wieder in den Griff zu bekommen und gleichzeitig ihre vom gepflegten Schwachsinn befallenen Kunden in der Hegemonie über die tatsächlichen Vorgänge in Unkenntnis zu lassen.
Ein fast amüsantes Unterfangen, vom Standpunkt des Betrachters aus.
Turkey experienced its gravest coup attempt on July 15, with the Gülenist plotters hitting the Turkish parliament, main state premises, raiding state and private media outlets and worst, opening fire on civilians, killing around 250 persons. Turkey could barely escape the seizure of power by this group, whose estimated plans were to turn the country into a new Syria by provoking armed clashes between the police and the army and within the army itself.
The head of U.S. Central Command was misunderstood when he commented about a recent coup attempt in Turkey, the Pentagon said on July 29.
“Any reports that suggest Gen. [Joseph] Votel expressed support in any fashion for the actions of Turkish military officers who undertook illegal military action against the Turkish government are factually inaccurate,” Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook said during a press briefing, the state-Run Anadolu Agency reported.
The militants attempted to take the base in three different groups, but were spotted by aerial reconnaissance. An air operation was launched, killing 23 of them, the officials said.
Four more were then killed in a ground operation, they said. The remaining eight were killed in clashes in Hakkari‘s Cukurca district.
Poets of emotion are to be found on the left. But for decades they have been “kettled” into the side alleys of the media landscape by enforcers of the corporate status quo like the Guardian. They are slowly making their voices heard through social media. They are creating a quiet political revolution. And Freedland and his ilk are doing everything in their power to try to stop them.
We‘ve long been supporters of the concept of Wikileaks around here, though we‘ve had some concerns about some of the decisions it has made. Generally speaking, though, we find the accusations and conspiracy theories around Wikileaks to be somewhat ridiculous. The latest comes buried in a Politico article about the massive amount of dysfunction within the Democratic National Committee. Apparently since Wikileaks released a bunch of DNC emails, leading to chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz stepping down, it has freed up a bunch of people to bitch and whine about her (lack of) leadership and what a mess the whole DNC has been recently.
But, buried deep within that article is this wacky tidbit:
The group stormed the building nearly two weeks ago seeking the release of „political prisoners“ including opposition leader Jirair Sefilian.
Mr Sefilian has strongly criticised President Serge Sarkisian‘s handling of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.(…)
Radio Liberty said three of its journalists were among the injured and that a camera was smashed.
Two Chinese peacekeepers were killed and several others injured by a mortar shell earlier this month during fighting between followers of President Salva Kiir and Riek Machar, the former rebel leader who became vice president under a deal to end the civil war.
During that time personnel of the United Nations Mission to South Sudan (UNMISS) also came under attack.
The Syrian soldiers and their Lebanese allies penetrated into the al-Nusra Front‘s lines of defense in Serghaya village and then targeted the terrorists‘ positions inside Serghaya, while the Syrian army targeted the terrorist group‘s gatherings at Jaroud Jarajeer and Jaroud Qarah border-crossings.
Serghaya is located just North of Al-Zabadani and was originally part of the 4-month-long ceasefire deal.
„The Akinci Air Base in Ankara, center for the heinous coup plot, will be closed“, Yildirim told a crowd in Kazan district of Ankara near the airbase.
„The base will be transformed into a place to commemorate our martyrs“, Yildirim said. „We are closing all the barracks in Ankara and Istanbul that sent out coup tanks (and) helicopters.“

Im Sommer 2015 beschäftigte die Landesverrats-Affäre die Politik- und Medienlandschaft gleichermaßen. Die Affäre ist bis heute nicht restlos aufgeklärt und es ist allgemein relativ undurchsichtig, wer auf Seiten der Politik und Justiz, was und zu welchem Zeitpunk wusste.
One of America‘s top generals moved to tone down a growing diplomatic dustup with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday, after remarks the U.S. commander made about his Turkish counterparts being arrested or fired drew a sharp response from the Turkish leader.
Among the positions affected were five governor posts, four presidential envoy positions, the deputy interior minister, Russia’s ambassador to Ukraine and the deputy head of the National Guard—the budding body charged with protecting the president.
Nothing says „Please stop keep talking about the bad stuff we do“ quite like a bogus defamation lawsuit. Citizen Lab, which has reported on a great number of tech companies that are less than discriminating in their selection of customers (think Hacking Team), has been served with a lawsuit by a purveyor of internet censorship software.
We always knew that the problem of German finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble with Greece was the left-wing government SYRIZA and that his former Greek counterpart Yanis Varoufakis was the red cloth in front of the eyes of a raging bull.
Now it is confirmed. the Austerity-obsessed German minister practically ‘rescued’ Spain and Portugal and furthermore he lobbied that the two south-European countries will not get fined for failing to meet EU’s budget deficit caps.
