Drinking Carbon Dioxide In The Last Chance Saloon, Paris

Climate Armageddon (Warmageddon) Forecast (image source)

There are a lot of Last Chance Saloons it seems, this past fifteen years they have been popping up all over the planet according to the Warmageddonist Lobby, those CAGWARTs (Carbon - driven Anthropogenic Global Warming Alternative Reality Twats). The latest is Paris where, we are being warned by the usual suspects, humanity is drinking in the last chance saloon and if a deal to reverse climate change is not reached, will will all be fried by absolutely static temperatures ... erm ... soon.

Well climate predictions.org have put together a directory of all the last chance saloons humanity has been drinking in over the years since 2000. They include Lima, Cancun, Copenhagen, Bali, Doha and exclusive five star resort hotels in Places like Bonn,Poznan, Durban and Montreal. Nice little two week jollies, all of them and official delegates do not have to pay a penny for all the goods and services on offer to help them think clearly, things like gourmet food, fine wines, world class entertainment and beautiful, claean prostitutes who actually pretend they enjoy being in bed with boring, ugly climate scientists with personal hygiene issues.

And those kind people at climate predictions have added a list of predictions made by the infallible priests of climate science that should all have happened by now but haven't, like ice free poles, snow being a think of the past and fifty million refugees, displaced from their homelands by rising sea levels.

(There was a recent attempt to link Europe's current migrants crisis to CO2 driven climate change by claiming the Syrian civil was had been caused by rising Carbon Dioxide levels - nothing to do with the Obama Administration sponsoring terrorists to overthrow the Assad regime then? - but it was laughed out of court)

Anyway its a long post and to reproduce snippets here would not do it justice, so if you like a good laugh, read the whole thing:

Last Chance - Paris 2015 and the rest.

ISIS Releases Video Of Alleged Russian Airplane Mid-Air Exposion After It Claims Responsibility For Disaster

Many people here in Britain switched on their TV this morning to the news that a Russian airliner full of civilian passengers flyng from Sharm el Shiek to St. Petersburg has crashed in the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt. Following the worst Russian air disaster in recent history, the questions all news channels asked was, what happened and who is responsible?

It is worth noting perhaps, one thing that did not happen was Vladimir Putin going on TV to claim he had irrefutable evidence that the United States and its proxy in the Syrian Civil War, ISIS, were responsible in the way the clown Obama did rather to quickly after the dowing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over Ukraine, when Oh Bummer was on TV almost before the plane hit the ground.

I'm sure there is no need to remind anyone that in spite of his claims and a lot of ranting from negrophiles and America worshippers, not a single shred of evidence has yet been produced to back up Obama's claims, even the official inquiry into the catastrophe carefully sidestepped the issue of identifying a culprit.

Putin is not such a fool as Obama and the Russian government avoided making any statements beyond saying the cause of the disaster was not know at such an early stage.

By late afternoon we had an answer that might have satisfied hotheads (and certain people we know who claim to be university lecturers or janitor or something). A militant group affiliated to Islamic State in Egypt claimed responsibility for the downing of a Russian passenger plane that crashed in Egypt's Sinai peninsula on Saturday, the group said in a statement circulated by supporters on Twitter.

Below is the full statement from a group alleging to speak on behalf of Islamic State, posted on their affiliate site, translated by the Guardian's Jahd Khalil. It offers no evidence that the group brought down the plane, apart from their word.

Breaking: Downing of Russian airplane, killing of more than 220 Russian crusaders on board.

Soldiers of the Caliphate were able to bring down a Russian plane above Sinai Province with at least 220 Russian crusaders aboard.

They were all killed, praise be to God. O Russians, you and your allies take note that you are not safe in Muslims lands or their skies.

The killing of dozens daily in Syria with bombs from your planes will bring woe to you. Just as you are killing others, you too will be killed, God willing.

An analyst with the Center for American Progress, Mokhtar Awad, told the Guardian that the Islamic State’s claim of responsibility "is quite vague.

“It doesn’t state how they were able to ‘down’ the plane allegedly. Even the most sophisticated of portable surface-to-air missiles cannot reach that high an altitude and are only a threat during periods of take-off or landing, but the plane had already climbed to its target altitude (from what we know thus far) when it began to likely experience technical failures.An analyst with the Center for American Progress, Mokhtar Awad, told the Guardian that the Islamic State’s claim of responsibility "is quite vague.

An Al Qaeda affilited group in Egypt also took to Twitter to denounce the ISIS which allegedly showed the dowing on the aircraft as a fake.

Then again, it could simply have been a bomb planted on the plane and set to explode after 20 minutes of flight time.

Even Russia's transport minister Maksim Sokolov has said that the claim Islamic State militants brought down the plane "can’t be considered accurate".

A quite different response from the level headed Russians, totally different to that of the trigger happy warmongers of Washington. But you can bet if ISIS are involved in any way the retribution will be swift and efficient. Which is why Russia is now the dominant power in the middle east and Obama is still making petulant threats.

As this publication has always warned, "Don't fuck with the Russians."

Merkel Faces Crisis As German Ruling Coalition Collapses

Merkel and friend with her beloved immigrants (image source)

German Chancellor Angela Merkel faces a crisis in her ruling coalition after Bavarian Premier Horst Seehofer demanded she take steps to halt the tide of illegal immigrants entering the country. To have any chance of surviving, the government must present new initiatives for controlling illegal immigration, deal with the critical situation on the Austrian border, where thousands of migrants are flocking into Germany on a daily basis and start applying German laws equally to established German citizens and Muslim migrants.

Shortly after Herr Seehofer dropped his bombshell, Merkel pleaded for patience, saying that there were no quick fixes to the crisis. The Süddeutsche Zeitung reports that the pair will meet with Social Democratic Party (SPD) head Sigmar Gabriel on Sunday. It is unlikely the Chancellor's plea will find much support, the migrant crisis has been going on for over two years, during which time Merkel has, until recently, been encouraging more undocumented migrants to make their way illegally across many borders to get to Germany.

Mr Seehofer, head of the Christian Social Union (CSU), Braviarian sister party to Haudfrau - Volkfuhrer Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) has demanded that the government change course immediately. Since the beginning of August at least 318,000 asylum seekers have arrived in Bavaria, the German federal state which borders Austria and therefore is on the route from Turkey, via the Balkans.

The Bavarian minister-president again called for emergency measures to deal with the influx, including setting a limit on the number of new arrivals Germany will let in and building border control centres to screen migrants before they set foot in the country.

He has gone as far as to threaten to take the federal government to the German constitutional court. Private actions by German citizen groups are launching bids to prosecute Merkel for treason.

As she looks for ways to defuse the political unrest over the open-door policy, Merkel also confronts waning public approval after repeatedly insisting that Germany has an obligation to welcome all migrants (including terrorists, sex offenders, murderers and Islamic hate preachers) from the Middle East. Backing for her CDU slipped two points to 36 per cent this week, down from an August peak of 43 per cent, according to a weekly opinion poll.

Meanwhile Germany agreed with Austria on Friday to establish new rules for a more “orderly” passage of migrants.

After a week in which tensions flared between the neighbour states, Germany’s interior minister said that the people now massing at its borders with Austria would be funnelled through five entry points.

Germany's Immigration Crisis

Sweden ‘Facing Collapse’ Thanks To Migrant Influx, Foreign Minister Warns

Image Source: Dagens Nyheter

Sweden is on the verge of social and economic collapse due to the influx of migrants facilitated by the country's 'open doors' immigration policy, the Swedish foreign minister has said. As 190,000 migrants so far this year alone pour into a country of ten million population, law and order is beginning to break down as the country plays witness to numerous arson attacks, stabbings and gang rapes, mostly committed by recent immigrants.
Swedish foreign minister Margot Wallstrom has warned that Sweden cannot continue to take migrants at the present rate without social services breaking down. In an interview, Mrs Wallstrom said: “I think most people feel that we cannot maintain a system where perhaps 190,000 people will arrive every year – in the long run, our system will collapse.
There is also a strong feeling outside the metropilitan elites that multiculturalism has failed, with different interpretations of traditional laws being applied to the crimes of Muslim migrants, particularly in respect of some horrifying rapes in which the government and judiciary have taken the line that is anathema to western feminists when applied to rapes committed by white mem, "She was asking for it."
In Europe and north America is is accepted that women who go out alone with hair and faces uncovered, who wear short skirts and revealing tops are behaving quite acceptably. Why then are european women, particularly in Germany and Sweden being told they must not do such things because Muslim men from remote and primitive take is as a message that the woman is offering herself for sex.
Wallstrom, having started well, then fell off the rails by calling on other European Union member states to take on more migrants in a bid to relieve pressure within her own country, but said: “I have to admit that there have been moments recently of very great disappointment. I have heard statements from member states that have been completely astonishing and very discouraging.”
Yes Margot, you self righteous idiot, other European states are opposing the stupid, guilt addicted left's approach to migrants because they have seen stupi Sweden and Ga-ga Germany being turned into third world country by these illiterate, lazy, sex - crazed scum that the elite want to dump on civilized societies. We owe these people nothing. There is no place for them in a civilised society.
Once thought of as one of Europe’s most peaceful nations, Sweden, now known as the rape capital of Europe, is rapidly becoming a fragmented nation, at war with itself. Almost 26.8 per cent of the population is now foreign born or has at least one foreign born parent. With no way to assimilate such large numbers, the outcome has been the creation of ghettos in which crime and extremism are allowed to flourish.
Malmo, which just two years ago played host to that most unifying of events, the Eurovision Song Contest, now has “no-go zones” from which African and middle eastern criminal gangs have excluded police, fire fighters, ambulance services and all government officials except those who hand out money. Last month, retired Chief Superintendent Torsten Elofsson told Breitbart London: “We have a number of no-go-zones in Sweden and they are expanding… police can go to these places, but you have send armed groups of officers.
Malmo has witnessed a spte of grenade attacks and shootouts in the past year
“Years ago you could go with two officers, no problem. Now you have to send at least four officers and two cars – if the fire brigade want to go, they have to take a police escort. They throw stones and try to stop the fireman from putting out fires.”
He added: “Of the number of people arrested and dragged into police stations, the majority are of foreign origin to be honest. There is an over-representation of violent crimes committed by people from other countries”.
The city has also seen grenade attacks similar in style to those seen in the middle east, gang rapes, and fatal shootings.

Immigrant criminals and Swedish criminals are viewed differently in the eyes of Swedish law.
We ask why it is, in Sweden, that when a Swede kills two immigrants it is an act of terrorism that shames the nation, but when an African immigrant kills a Swedish mother and her young child, in the eyes of the government it is somehow the victim's fault? The big concern is that, given the desperation of our Conservtive and Labour party leaders to make us more European, such politically correct insanity will be inflicted in Britain next.

Judicial Handwashing on Transgender Issues

With so much attention focused on the situation in Syria and Europe's migrant crisis other issues have been pushed aside. One thing that deserves attention however is the obsession of the political 'left' with minority rights, an agenda we are sure they employ to divert attention from the dire economic and social problems faced by the developed nations.

Here's a story from Britain that echoes similar cases in the USA and Europe.

Tara Hudson, nice boobs, shame about the cock (image source)

Transgender woman Tara Hudson, a make up artist, jailed for violently assaulting a bar manager has been moved to a female prison after a judge said the Prison Service should reconsider making her serve her sentence in a male prison. The 26-year-old has lived as a woman most of her adult life and had years of reconstructive surgery, but is still legally a man and still has a penis and testicles. She was sent to HMP Bristol when handed a 12-week sentence for the assault.

The Prison Service declined to comment on the case, but said: "It is longstanding policy to place offenders according to their legally recognised gender. However, our guidelines allow room for discretion.”

On her appeal against the sentence being turned down by a panel of three Judges ruled she had a “worrying criminal record”, Judge Llewellyn Sellick, said he would welcome “further and sensitive consideration” of where she should serve her sentence, thus deflecting the difficult case back to prison officers.

Pontias Pilate is alive and well and living in Strangeways prison*.

I have seen a lot of hand wringing, breast beating (oops, pardon), wailing and gnashing of teeth over the likely fate of this transgender person (nice tits, shame about the dick) and surely someone who looks like the one on the left here would have a hard (oops pardon) time among a bunch of male convicts.
On the other hand nobody seems to give a damn about how the inmates of womens' prisons might feel about sharing the showers with someone who has a schlong.

And when judge's start washing their hands of the problem it seems political correctness is making people afraid to publicly agree with veteran feminist Germaine Greer when she says, "Having your dick lopped off does not make you a woman."

Well the screeching of the neo-fascist left might offend the eardrums, but they are an ineffectual lot really and should be pitied for their inability to think independently which causes them to follow every fad and jump on every passing bandwagon. We must not allow them to bully us into surrendering our right to free speech and freedom of thought.

And we should ask is it time to stop offering snip and tuck ops (and the reverse for women) on the National Health Service until officialdom has become deaf to the emotive whining of lefties and takes time to think through ALL the consequences for society of encouraging self mutilators to believe surgery can transform them from a man into a woman or vice versa.

Hormone treatments cannot grow a womb nor ovaries any more than they can grow testicles, only nature can do those things.

Russia's Upper Hand In Syria Forces USA To Negotiate On Assad's Future

Syria: Putin Now Has The Upper Hand (image source: Kuala Lumpur post)

Why is John Kerry suddenly so eager to talk to anyone and everyone about Syria now when the war between Assad and the US sponsored Sunni Jihad has been dragging on for four and a half years?

Are members of the Obama administration worried that the joint Russian / Iranian campaign in the air and on land has been too successful against ISIS and exposed as a sham the efforts of the USA and it's allies to 'defeat Al Qaeda or Al Nusra or ISIS or whatever they are called this week, if we want to go for a little honesty how about The US-backed Sunni Jihad that was part of Washington’s plan to topple Syrian President Bashar al Assad?

Nobody who has been following events in Syria for the last three weeks or three and a half years should have any doubt now about what is really going on. Russia's air force and Iran's ground troops have wiped out most of Washington’s mercenaries and Islamic fundamentalists on the ground while recapturing large areas of land lost to the terrorists.

That has strengthened Assad’s position in Damascus and left US foreign policy in tatters. And that’s why John Kerry is desperately seeking another meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, even though the two diplomats met less than a week ago.

On Tuesday, Reuters reported that Iran had been invited to talks which will be held in Vienna on Thursday at the insistence of Lavrov, which shows to what extent Russia is currently setting the agenda in the middle east.

The summit will verly probably produce some pretty shocking results for those who still believe in American spremacy too. A dramatic U turn on Washington’s “Assad must go” demand is a good bet. Putin has asserted many times, Assad’s going nowhere. He’s going to be a part of Syria’s “transitional governing body” when the Obama team finally agrees to the Geneva Communique a political device that will eventually end the fighting, restore security, and allow millions of refugees to return to their homes.

The reason the administration is going to agree to allow Assad to stay, is because if they don’t, the Russian Airforce is going to continue to blow US-backed mercenaries to smithereens. So, you see, Obama really has no choice in the matter. Putin has put a gun to his head and made him an offer he can’t refuse.

That doesn’t mean the war is going to be a cakewalk for Russia or its allies, there have already been some setbacks, like the seizure by ISIS of a critical section the Aleppo-Khanasser highway, cutting off the government’s supply-lines to Aleppo. This is serious but can be overcome and will not affect the eventual outcome of the war. Taking a broader view, the outlook is much more encouraging for the Russian-led coalition which continues to eviscerate the enemy war machine. So there’s no doubt about who’s going to win.

And that might explain why the US decided to bomb Aleppo’s main power plant last week plunging the entire city into darkness; because Obama, nothing is not a childishly petulant gayboy, wants to “rubblize” everything on his way out. Keep in mind, that the local water treatment plants require electrical power, so by blowing up the plant, the peacemaker and joybringer The Obamessiah has condemned tens of thousands of civilians to cholera and other water-born diseases. Apparently, the hospital-nuking God - On - Earth has no qualms about war crimes such as killing women and children. Check this out from the Daily Star Of Lebanon if you don't want to take my word.

Big Business Joins Climate Change Scaremongers

by Arthur Foxake

The true effect of CO2 on the climate (image source)

Although the climate change issue has been on the back burner for a while, overshadowed by events in Syria and the middle east, Europe's immingration crisis and the opening shots in the campaign for the 2016 US Presidential Election, the approaching climate summit in Paris is bringing it back to the top of the agenda

Geoff Lean in The Daily Telegraph writes:

These days the most effective greens seem to sport expensive suits and watches, not beards and sandals, and to hang out in financial institutions, rather than in the environmental pressure groups. For City types are becoming the most powerful advocates of the low-carbon economy – and, literally so, because they actually have the power to bring it about.

Not that they are driven mainly by idealism; still less by rejection of the existing financial system, like many of the deeper greens. Far from wanting to obstruct capitalism, they are out to boost it, and, above all, to make lots of money for their institutions, shareholders, and themselves. Read all >>>

Of course big business is the strongest supporter of climate change scaremongering Geoff, they fear the opportunity to create a $1trillion a year market in trading carbon credits is slipping away from them

All this sudden enthusiasm for combating climate change means is the banks, now so exposed to toxic debt are dependent upon western governments' willingness to underwrite their risks with taxpayers money, have realised that they can either get on board the globalist one - world, one - nation climate scam or face seeing their credit ratings plummet.

Now that NOAA have refused to defend their fabricated global warming figure to the US Congress oversight committee, we can no longer talk about global warming as happening at the moment as the only credible indication of global temperature comes from the satellites which continue to show no warming after 18 years.

Project For The New American Century Born Again

Obama bush political twins (image source: The Daily Sheeple

America's neoconservatives are nothing if not persistent. With the American dream turned into a dystopian nightmare and a foreign policy gear to making the USA the dominant global superpower in sheds after misadventures in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria, a gang of national-security analysts have published an outline of what they think a Republican administration's foreign policy should the GOP candidate take office on Inauguration Day 2017. Titled “Choosing to Lead: American Foreign Policy for a Disordered World,” it concedes that “there are limitations on American power,” that were simply beyond the comprehension of the previous neo-con governments of Clinton, Bush 2 and Obama.

Clinton and Obama neo - con you might well ask. Yes, make no mistake, no matter who wins the election the faceless people who never subject themselves to the ordeal of a popular vote and thus cannot be thrown out of office are the ones who truly govern.

Take this snippet from former George W. Bush speechwriter, Peter Wehner as a taster:

…understand, too, that with the right leadership and policies in place, the United States can once again be a guarantor of global order and peace, a champion of human rights, and a beacon of economic growth and human flourishing. There is no reason the 21st century cannot be the next American Century. …Choosing to Lead offers perspectives and recommendations on how to make the next American Century happen. In doing so, we believe it will serve the world as well as the United States of America.

It all sounds like a rebirth of the "Project for the New American Century (PNAC)", published in two volumes, Present Dangers and Rebuilding American Defenses, that together formed a neocon manifesto for the Republican presidential candidate in the 2000 election. While Obama's neo - revivalist campaign which presented the candidate as a messianic figure who would walk on water and raise dead voters so that he might lead the sick, feed the blind and maketh the poor to see, was not as overtly neo conservative and belligerent his administration, taking American exceptionalism as its theme, behaved as if international law applied to every nation except America and violated treaties, the UN charter and the unwritten laws of basic decency without compunction in its eforts to impose the Obama doctrine on nations that asserted their sovereignty. If you are wondering, the Obama doctrine can be summed up as, "I'se been 'lected, dem whitey all goan do what I sez."

Needless to say it did not play well in Russia or China.

In a chapter entitled “Rebuilding American Foreign Policy,” the authors offer the predictable Republican/neocon critique of current U.S. foreign policy.

"U.S. foreign policy today is failing every test that a great power’s foreign policy can fail. Today, America’s enemies do not fear the United States and America’s friends doubt that they can trust it. Neither the American people nor the world-at-large understands anymore either the purposes of American power or even, in some respects, the principles that shape them. Indeed, after a decade and a half of conflict in the Middle East and South Asia, some Americans have concluded that the best thing to do is to pull back from the world and its troubles. Some argue that America’s role as guarantor of global order is no longer necessary, history having ended with the Cold War; there are also those who think the United States is too clumsy and incompetent to do much of anything right; and there are, finally, those who think that “nation-building at home” is some kind of alternative to engagement abroad."

We disagree. We believe that a strong United States is essential to the maintenance of the open global order under which this country and the rest of the world have prospered since 1945; that the alternative is not a self-regulating machine of balancing states but a landscape marked by eruptions of chaos and destruction. We recognize the failures as well as the successes of past policies, because to govern is to choose, and to choose in the world as it is, is necessarily to err. But while we believe that we must understand those failures and learn from them, we also believe that American power and influence has, on the whole, served our country and the world far better than American weakness and introversion.

To give them their due, the authors recognise that, among other things, the U.S. economy is not nearly as dominant in relative terms as it was after World War II, a fact that seems to have escaped Obama and his cabinet of cronies throughout his presidency. Obviously the Republicans, more business oriented than academic, are aware of moves led by China and Russia to replace the US dollar as reserve currency.

“Our resources will be finite, and so will be the ability of our leaders to focus on more than a few problems at a time,” the text warns. It is refreshing that there’s no more talk here about the US Global Empire being mightier than the Roman or British Empires. But they still believe that the U.S. should be the “guarantor of global order.” We wonder what Presidents Putin and Xi make of that.

The neo - cons deem Beijing’s aspirations unacceptable and decry the ambition to “replace the American-shaped order that enabled China’s ‘peaceful rise’ with a system in which we are only one of multiple, equal participants.” Russia, Iran, North Korea and “non-state actors—most notably, jihadi movements of several stripes”—also qualify as key threats.

All in all, the document will not do much to restore confidence in the USA should the Republicans manage to defeat Granny Clinton or whoever the Democratic party put up in the election.

US Trade Representative says America has no interest in a trade deal with Britain alone, urging it to remain in the EU

It is most blatant attempt yet to meddle in British domestic politics, the abysmal Obama administration in Washington has said Britain will not get a separate trade deal with the United States if it quits the European Union, and would be subject to the same tariff barriers as China, America’s most senior trade official has said in a significant blow to the Out campaign. The UK is set to hold a referendum on whether to continue as a full EU member as European leaders in Brussels intensify the push for integration of the twenty eight member states into a single political entity, the Federal European superstate.

Michael Froman, the US Trade Representative, said America is “not in the market” for trade deals with individual states and would only consider free trade agreements with blocs of nations. "I think it's absolutely clear that Britain has a greater voice at the trade table being part of the EU, being part of a larger economic entity," Mr Froman told Reuters.

He added, "We're not particularly in the market for FTAs [free trade agreements] with individual countries. We're building platforms ... that other countries can join over time. We have no FTA with the UK so they would be subject to the same tariffs – and other trade-related measures - as China, or Brazil or India," he said.

Integrationists and global-government enthusiasts have been quick to present the statement as a major setback for the Out campaign, who argue that Britain would be able to rapidly sign trade deals with overseas economies if it was outside of the EU. Current EU trade rules do not allow member states to enter separate customs agreements.

However while political establishments and the wealthy elites have been keen to promote the idea of global government, voters across Europe are becoming increasingly sceptical with anti - EU party UKIP steadily gaining groud in Britain, France's Front National, Italy's Liga Nord, Podemos in Spain and the Sweden Democrats all topping opinion polls with their nationalist stance, and even AFD (Alternaif Fur Deutschland) gaining ground in the German ~~fourth reigh~~ Federal Republic.

Even in the USA, labor leaders and civil rights activists, along with many politicians on the maverick fringes of the Democratic and Republican parties have expressed concerns about many of the clauses and conditions in TTIP and its equally evil twin TPP (Trans Pacific Partnership).

Britain's treasonous government and official opposition are both fully supportive of the highly secret TTIP, which whistleblowers tell us will transfer national sovereignty from elected assemblies to corporate lawyers, lobbyists and the bureaucracy. David Cameron is one of the keenest advocates of the EU-US trade deal known as TTIP and while Labour leaders Jeremy Corbyn has expressed reserations over the threat the deal would pose to workers rights, most leading Labour party figures are committed to the ideal of global government. Cameron has argued that the EU must be more ambitious in agreeing free trade deals with economies in the southern hemisphere if it is to stave off economic decline.

Advocates say the TTIP deal will increase trade significantly and slash the cost of consumer goods such as jeans and computers for British families. Opponents warn that apart from transferring power from elected governments to corporate and public sector bureaucrats, TTIP will make it easier to offshore work to low labour cost economies and erode hard won emplymenr rights of workers in the developed nations.

The US operates thousands of tariffs designed to protect its workforce from foreign competition, covering food, raw materials, clothing and office equipment. Needless to say most of these will remain in place in one form or another after the deal is signed, committing European nations to removing such protections.

More on those evil twins of global trade, the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) and Trans Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) which are not about freeing business from bureaucracy but freeing corporations from the tiresome obligation to obey national laws covering trading standards, food quality, workers' rights, consumer protection and the environment. We've written about both treaties many times before.

Yet again the news slowly leaking out of the Trans Atlantic Trade And Investment Partnership negotiations tell us just why there is so much secrecy surrounding this trade treaty being negotiated between the EU and the USA that even our elected governments are not allowed to know what the final treaty will include. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Russia's Mid-East Takeover Continues As Afghanistan Requests Military Assistance From Moscow

Image Source: Army Times

Throughout the months of September and October a dramatic shift in the global power balance has taken place as the middle east related foreign policy of the United States of America has been exposed as incompetent and dishonest. The outcome is that Vladimir Putin has totally outflanked The Pentagon and now Russia is the major power in the region, while Assad, in spite of Obama's efforts to depose him is still in power in Syria, propped up by support from Russia and Iran with China willing to join the anti - American coalition should things escalate.

The new power structure has produced quick changes, despite the Obama administration announced that the US would not be pulling all of its troops out of Afghanistan by the end of 20i5 as scheduled, the Afghan government is turning to Moscow for protection as Islamic fundamentalist seditionists reconvene their reign of terror.

Under Obama’s original plan, Washington planned to withdraw most of the 10,000 troops still stationed in Afghan territory by the end of next year, leaving a force of just 1,000 'advisers'. Now, all American troops presently stationed there will remain for most of next year and 5,500 troops will remain in 2017.

The change has come about because some senior military officers are concerned about the security situation, following recent territorial gains by the Taliban. It has been predicted that the Taliban, having been given ample time to regroup, are poised to regain power once the American force is withdrawn. According to members of the United Nations peacekeeping force, insurgents now control more territory than at any other time since 2001 (so... "mission accomplished" Uncle Sam?).

The situation in Afghanistan is typical of outcomes which result when world powers decide to intervene in Mid-East affairs. It almost always goes horribly wrong because westerners do not understand the middle eastern mindset, and by the time everyone comes to their senses a decade has gone by and no one can remember why the intervention was undertaken.

The White House contends that this same dynamic will eventually plague Russia’s involvement in Syria and while that’s certainly possible, it’s worth noting that using Hezbollah and Irania Shiite militias to fight the ground war decreases the odds of Moscow getting mired in asymmetric warfare with an enemy they don’t fully understand, and therefore of the enemy simply melting into the civilian population only to re-emerge once the occupying forces withdraw.

As we commented when Obama announced that nearly 10,000 US troops would not in fact be coming home from Afghanistan, the timing of the strategy shift significant, coming just as Russian intervention put ISIS on the backfoot aster US and European efforts to check their advance had failed to achieve anything in over a year. It seems certain the move to keep a US military presence in the Mid-East has something to do with Russia and Iran’s stepped up role in Syria and theiur anticipated push into Iraq. The Pentagon, smarting from being made to look stupid by Obama's mishandling of foreign policy, wants to ensure that at the very least, there are American troops close by.

To be sure, this entire story is riddled with irony and all sides have exhibited a penchant for Einsteinian insantiy.

Russia also got bogged down in Afghanistan in the Soviet-Afghan war of the 1980s during which Washington backed the fighters who would eventually become America's nemesis, al-Qaeda. Now, Washington is allegedly providing support to al-Qaeda affiliated group al-Nusra in Syria, and the Sunni extremists fighting for control of the country have declared a jihad against Moscow. So essentially, this is just a rerun of what happened in the 80s, only this time it’s going on in Syria. Confused? You will be if you try to unravel the mysteries of middle eastern politics.
