The Nusra Front’s adoption of the new name Jabhat Fateh al-Sham and claim that it has separated itself from al-Qaeda was designed to influence US policy, not to make the group any more independent of al-Qaeda.
The objective of the manoeuvre was to head off US-Russian military cooperation against the jihadist group, renamed last week, based at least in part on the hope that the US bureaucratic and political elite, who are lining up against a new US-Russian agreement, may block or reverse the Obama administration’s intention to target the al-Qaeda franchise in Syria.

Asked about the scope of this new US war on Libya, Pentagon Spokesman Peter Cook said, „We don‘t have an end point.“ Thus far Congress has been silent on this new war. We are not silent, however. Tune in to today‘s Liberty Report:
Die Aussagen sind weitreichend. Die saudischen Behörden seien bereits in Kontakt mit ihren deutschen Kollegen. „Gemeinsam werden wir alles tun, um die Hintergründe der Anschläge aufzuklären“, hieß es aus der saudischen Regierung.
(18.5.2016) „Es wurde klar gestellt, dass Präsident Baschar al-Assad zwei Möglichkeiten hat: Entweder er wird durch einen politischen Prozess abgesetzt oder mit Gewalt“, sagte Adel al-Dschubeir gegenüber Reportern nach einer Sitzung der ‚Internationalen Syrien Unterstützungsgruppe‘ (ISSG), deren Vorsitz Russland und die USA innehaben.
„Wir glauben, wir sollten lange vorher zum ‚Plan B‘ übergehen“, sagte er. „Wenn sie auf die Bitte der internationalen Gemeinschaft nicht reagieren, dann werden wir sehen, was ansonsten getan werden kann.“

At 2:45 in the morning of August 6, 1945, an American B-29 bomber flew north from Tinian Island in the Marianas toward Japan. Three and a half hours later, over the city of Hiroshima, the Enola Gay dropped an 8,900-pound atomic weapon from its specially modified bomb bay. Two thousand feet above the ground, the bomb, dubbed „Little Boy“ by its makers, detonated, leveling almost 90% of the city.
On August 9, another B-29, Bockscar, set out for the Kokura Arsenal on the southwest Japanese island of Kyushu. Foul weather, however, persuaded the pilot to proceed instead toward Nagasaki, the home of a Mitsubishi torpedo factory.
Saudi warplanes hit the positions of the friendly forces in Northern Yemen and killed a large number of militants loyal to fugitive former President Mansour Hadi, in what has come to be known as „routine“ shooting and bombing of friendly troops by the Saudi air force.
“Security forces in Karma district, after liberating the areas in the district, began preparing lists of the wanted ISIS members. The list includes the names of 1800 members of the outfit, including ISIS military emir and the sheikh of Jamila tribe Rafe’ al-Moshahen along with his son Omar.”
Since the shutdowns are regular and appear to be coordinated across multiple ISPs, namely Balteco and Zain, Bahrain Watch says, „it is possible that the disruptions are a result of a Service Restriction Order from the Bahrain Government, in relation to the protests.“(…)
The United Nations Human Rights Council unequivocally condemns any government‘s practice of restricting internet access for its citizens. In July, the council passed a resolution reaffirming and expanding its stance upholding internet rights across the globe.

The four jets, which have been stationed at the İncirlik airbase in the southern province of Adana since June 17, have so far been flying surveillance and reconnaissance missions over Syria with combat missions limited to Iraq.
„Der Umbau zielt darauf ab, den Mechanismus abzuschaffen, der sechs kleine und große Staatsstreiche in den vergangenen 60 Jahren hervorgebracht hat“, sagte Isik. Die Schritte, die nun unternommen würden, entsprächen voll und ganz der Struktur und dem Geist der NATO, sagte der Verteidigungsminister.

„Über das Pro und Contra von Hiroshima lässt sich streiten,“ sagte einmal Telford Taylor, der Chefankläger von Nürnberg, „aber ich habe nie eine plausible Rechtfertigung für Nagasaki gehört“ – das er als ein Kriegsverbrechen einstufte.
Furthermore, if the base falls and the regime does not quickly recapture it, Assad could be in danger of losing all of Aleppo. This battle is a testament to how weak the Assad military has become. Even with direct support from the Russian Air Force, tanks, and troops, as well as militants from Lebanon, Iraq, and Iran, Assad may have just snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
A military source told SANA that the terrorist groups on Saturday morning repeated attacks along the axis of the military academies with large numbers as the army units are carrying on fierce battles, backed by the Syrian army air force and artillery, against the terrorist groups.
The source added that a number of terrorists were killed and many of them were injured in the clashes, in addition to inflicting heavy losses upon them in the arms and personnel.
Meanwhile, SANA reporter in Aleppo said that thousands of terrorists, most of them mercenaries, attacked the axis of the academies with car bombs at midnight.
Ohrenzeugen berichten, Asaria habe erklärt: „Der Terrorist muss sterben“. Später behauptete Asaria auf den Rat der geschlossenen Front seiner Rechtsanwälte hin, er habe befürchtet, dass der verletzte Palästinenser Sprengstoff am Körper getragen habe und im Begriff gewesen sei, die Soldaten in seinem Umkreis zu töten. Diese Behauptung wird eindeutig von den Bildern widerlegt. Diese zeigen, dass die Soldaten, die in der Nähe standen, offensichtlich ganz unbesorgt waren. Dann gab es da ein geheimnisvolles Messer, das zu Beginn des Clips noch nicht da gewesen war, und das man am Ende neben dem Leichnam liegen sehen konnte.
Syrian rebels stormed a major army artillery base in the northern city of Aleppo on Friday to try an end the siege of opposition-held areas but the Syrian army said it had repelled the attack and killed hundreds of insurgents.
If the West wants to get rid of Erdogan and shake hands with the cemaat,” said Turkish commentator Levent Gultekin, using the term commonly used for Gulen’s movement, “then they will get a Turkey that is against their interests.”
Contrary to reports of astounding success from CNN, Washington Post, New York Times, and the rest of the dishonest, corrupted mainstream media as usual, an eyewitness shows clips of half-empty Democratic National Convention (DNC) during prime time just after Crooked Hillary Clinton nomination, as Bernie Sanders‘ supporters left the convention center to protest outside
Angesichts fallender Umfragewerte und scharfer Kritik aus den eigenen Reihen hat Donald Trump eine Kehrtwende versucht. In einer Rede stellte er sich am Freitagabend hinter zwei prominente Parteikollegen, die sich um ihre Wiederwahl in den US-Kongress bewerben: den Vorsitzenden des Abgeordnetenhauses, Paul Ryan, und den Senator von Arizona, John McCain.
(6.8.2016) Trump earlier in the week had declined to endorse Ryan, as well as Sens. John McCain and Kelly Ayotte. But he then endorsed the Arizona and New Hampshire senators in their primary races.
(5.8.2016) Fast auf den Tag genau drei Monate vor der Wahl am 8. November sind solche Umfrageergebnisse mit großer Vorsicht zu bewerten, zumal das Ergebnis innerhalb der Schwankungsbreite von plus/minus vier Prozentpunkten lag. Doch in der Zusammenschau mit zahlreichen neuen landesweiten und auf Einzelstaaten bezogenen Meinungserhebungen verdichtet sich ein Bild, das für Trump nicht sehr erfreulich sein dürfte.
The best polling news for Donald Trump on Thursday was that an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll had him down only 9 points to Hillary Clinton.
That survey was released a little while after a poll from McClatchy/Marist that showed Trump down 15 points, pulling only 33 percent of the vote. Those numbers are, to put it bluntly, shocking.
(2.8.2016) Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump escalated his war with his own party’s leadership Tuesday by refusing to endorse House Speaker Paul D. Ryan or Sen. John McCain, two of the GOP’s highest-ranking elected officials, in their primary campaigns.
