    Blaming Russia for the Syrian Debacle while The Author of The Syrian Debacle takes full-throated credit is Ripe nonsense.
    Where are The Innocents protesting Jeffrey Sachs’ newfound casuistry?
    Jeff is channeling Dr D today. Impressive.
    Here’s a reminder.
    The ICC indicted Netanyahu.
    Did the ICC indict Bashar al-Assad?

    https://x.com/netanyahu

    From the twitter account

    Benjamin Netanyahu:

      This is a historic day for the Middle East. The collapse of the Assad regime, the tyranny in Damascus, offers great opportunity but also is fraught with significant dangers. We send a hand of peace to all those beyond our border in Syria: to the Druze, to the Kurds, to the Christians, and to the Muslims who want to live in peace with Israel.

      I want to thank

      @realDonaldTrump

      for his strong statement yesterday about the need for Hamas to release the hostages, the responsibility of Hamas, and this adds another force to our continued effort to release all the hostages. Thank you, President Trump

    The Ruse.

    It was all A Ruse
    Sovereignty of nations.
    International norms.
    Integrity of borders.
    It was all a Ruse.
    Every international expert participated in the Ruse.
    Every pundit played along with the Ruse.
    The arrest of Netanyahu, the defeat of Israel, the collapse of Zionism were All Imminent they said the entire time RT, Scott Ritter, The International, China et al participated actively or silently in The Ruse to Sacrifice Syria for what?

    ….but but but The Innocents are still against Bad Jews, Bad Zionism and Bad Netanyahu….
    while Bashar Assad remains “un”indicted by the ICC, right? Or maybe Assad was indicted? Who knows?
    The rules are not the same for Syria or Israel, Assad or Netanyahu.

    I’m gonna coin a new phrase on behalf of Benj Netanyahu.
    “Peace through Genocide.
    Strength through Indictment by the ICC.
    Nation-building through Overthrow of A Sovereign”
    So much for Netanyahu being indicted by The ICC.
    Fangless,
    Feckless,
    Fűckwads.

    Blame Russia?
    Praise Trump the Zionist?
    For being equal parts Feckless and Impotent?

    Another Nation Absorbed Into The Blob Of The Empire by Caitlin Johnstone.

    And yet there’s still a bit of a taboo in mainstream western discourse around calling this a regime change operation backed by the US and its allies. We’re all meant to pretend this was a 100 percent organic uprising driven solely and exclusively by the people of Syria despite years and years of evidence to the contrary. We are meant to pretend this is the case even after we just watched the US power alliance crush Syria using proxy warfare, starvation sanctions, constant bombing operations, and a military occupation explicitly designed to cut Syria off from oil and wheat in order to prevent its reconstruction after the western-backed civil war.

    People get mad if you say this, but it’s true. It’s just a fact that major world events do not occur independently of the actions of the major world powers who have a vested interest in their outcomes. If my saying this makes you feel uncomfortable, that discomfort is called cognitive dissonance. It’s what being wrong feels like.

    Give Credit Where Credit is Due

    The Russians are amateurs at projecting power beyond their borders.

    The Empire of Lies with it’s 800+ military industrial boondoggle bases scattered around the globe is fabulous at projecting kleptocratic thievery and extortion beyond it’s quasi 3rd world open borders of broken infrastructure, decaying cities, non existent ‘healthcare system, and fantastically out-of-control budget deficit of 33 Trillion dollars.

    Russia is still the King of defending it’s homeland, witness the hubris of Napoleon and Hitler.

    The Empire of Lies can’t even defend against millions of invading illegal migrants.

    Hiding behind two oceans for centuries has made it even more insufferably arrogant about it’s own delusions of grandeur.

    75%+ of it’s youth can’t qualify for a dumbed down military fitness physical.

    Hahahahahahaha. The Woketurd military is so scary!

    It would have crumbled like a wet paper bag before the Grande Armée or the Nazi Wehrmacht closing in on it from it’s open undefended northern and southern borders.

    Musk fired 80% of Twitter employees and the place ran Better.

    You could fire 80%+ of the Military Industrial Maggot Mafia and it too would run fine.

    The PentaGram is 80% deadwood and goldbricking goof-offs.

    Back to Syria

    The Headchopping Jihadists sponsored by the Pentagram and the Jews will have a field day exterminating the Syriac Catholic Church. Lots of Christian heads to lob off!

    Get rid of those Christians for God’s Sake!

    They defile Sharia Law and Allah!

    The Russian hypersonic are still in play, just not for West Asia, yet.

    And yes, the Russian hypersonic are game changers in Euroturdistan’s backyard.

    They have the destructive power of nukes with the accuracy in a sniper rifle and without the West screaming like Titty Babies about Russia using ’nukes’ on their pitiful asswipe ZATO.

    The Russians will put the pedal down on Ukronaziland now, including I hope making it Landlocked by taking Odessa and the south coast.

    Are you really stupid enough to believe Russia would tolerate Iran becoming a ZATO candidate on their southern border when they won’t tolerate Ukronaziland becoming one on their southwest border?

    Really, you’re that retarded?

    Putting the Duh in Duh’merica once again.

    Modern and especially Post Modern Arab armies have a history of No Spine over the long run.

    Crack open a history book and educate yourself.

    The Syrian army rolled over like a cheap whore, the ‘jihadists’ didn’t do shit for fighting, because the fix was in. Their officers split town with the loot and booty a while back. Rank & File, not happy? Shitty pay? Shitty conditions?

    Wait until they and their women folk get a taste of the Sharia Law’s riding crop on their scrawny asses. Hahahahahahahahahaha! Feel the burn Bitchez!.

    The Empire of Lies is 33 TRILLION dollars in the hole.

    Think they can just print that much to cancel the debt and not implode the bond markets? Really?

    Climate alarmists score an own goal: Bovaer’s major route of excretion is CO2

    The drug Bovaer which is described as a feed additive for dairy cows to “reduce emissions” has been disclosed as consisting of three ingredients: silicon dioxide, propylene glycol and 3-nitrooxypropanol (“3-NOP”).

    Writing for UK Column, Dr. Mike Williams takes a brief look at the studies done on 3-NOP to establish if it is “safe and effective.”

    The European Food Safety Authority’s (“EFSA’s”) Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (“FEEDAP”) concludes that the genotoxicity potential of 3-NOP cannot be ruled out, indicating a potential to cause cancer, he writes. 3-NOP’s impact on humans is unknown as it remains untested.

    3-NOP was found to induce chromosome damage and gene mutations and an increase in benign gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumours in studies on female rats. Adverse effects on fertility and reproduction were also seen in rats, including severe reduction of spermatogenesis in males and failure to become pregnant in females at high doses.

    Although studies show that 3-NOP does not transmit in dosed animals’ milk, the breakdown product of 3-NOP, 3-nitrooxypropionic acid (“NOPA”), was detected in cow’s plasma and milk, and is assumed to be responsible for testicular toxicity.

    In a twist which shows climate alarmists’ plans to be self-defeating, the use of 3-NOP in cows also results in increased hydrogen emissions and the major route of excretion is as carbon dioxide (CO2).

    From Larry Johnson:

    “HTS is not a friend of Iran.

    It remains a fundamentalist Sunni Salafist movement. In terms of ideological extremism, it is a cousin of the settler groups in Israel, which are represented by Zionists like Bezalel Smotrich — they broker no compromise with anyone.

    Unlike Assad, who kept Christian Churches open and protected the Shi’a and Alawite communities, HTS is likely to persecute, if not outright murder, those groups.

    This means that floods of refugees will be headed back to Lebanon, north to Turkey, west to Europe and east to Iraq.”

    “The chaos that is likely to consume Syria over the coming two months will cause more harm and danger for Turkey and Israel than for Russia and Iran.

    Yes, the fall of Assad was a diplomatic blow for both Moscow and Tehran, but managing the emerging security risks presented by an HTS-led government? Those hot turds are now the problem of Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Israel.

    Russia and Iran can sit back and watch or, through intelligence assets, help stir the pot.

    The Trump Take on Events

    “While the West is busy celebrating Assad’s downfall as a blow to Russia — and let me be clear, this is not an outcome that Moscow welcomed or wanted — Donald Trump and his advisors do not understand what happened”.

    Rather than acknowledge that an international terrorist organization has been allowed to seize control of the government of Syria, Trump indulges the fantasy that “Russia is in a weakened state right now.” I am sure that went over well with folks in the Kremlin. I bet they are shaking in their boots as the mighty colossus that is Donald Trump, strides the world stage.

    “Trump’s ignorant statement about Russia’s economy and its progress with respect to the war in Ukraine guarantees that Putin will be in no mood to sit down to negotiate with Trump or any of his water boys.”

    Send in Hunter, he will negotiate a better deal with the Russians now the he’s a Free Bird!

    Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

    Hate to see that interview. Seeing a decent reporter be so deluded and act like a retard while being an glowing ignoramus on TV. Embarrassing. Disgusting. Hard to watch.

    Again, meta-meta, what’s her underlying question like? What’s the belief that makes her ask it? Why is her every action violent, hostile? Because she’s such a moron she believes reporters never lie while being IN THE INDUSTRY.

    This is a female-oriented thing, as most of America is right now. Are they part of “Us”? Then if they R “Us” they never dun wrong. Or not really. “I” would never lie (although I would. For “Us”) I would never bend the truth, make excuses for the family, for “Us”. Therefore no other reporter on earth would either. Only “Them”. As a gossip, who is “Them” today? Well Julie said something bad about Chelsey, so Julie is “Them” this week, the slut. Anyone who says anything bad about the Family, Us, can’t be trusted until they GSR, do the walk of Guilt, Shame, Ridicule until we’re good an satisfied! And that won’t be soon!

    How do men act? Joe said Julie’s ugly and left her on the side of the road, but she insulted his sister, so we don’t take it personal. You can’t lie about people or leave them on the road, so shape up. Do better. We all know you’re full of s–t so knock it off.

    Put another way, the male orientation is that men DO bad things. We don’t deny it and pretend. So if a man or woman, friend or family, Us or Them say something? Equal chances they’re lying. Doesn’t even occur to NOT suspect your wife, children of lying. They’re People. Of course they’re lying. Question is how to straighten it out without too much stress so we can all forget and move on.

    Back to her interview, “WE” all know things things about Trump are true because we never asked or listened. That’s reporting: when you never use a “Telephone” to get a “Statement” from the accused and publish it in fair use. The gossip itself is the conviction.

    “USPS has seen a 80% DECREASE in volume of mail but ADDED 190,000 employees”

    Same mail as ever and the delivery people are being overworked into a hospital. Sooooo….who are these 190k? Weren’t they suspiciously armed and helping out the IRS last year, two years ago in some news story? Same as the entire Black Budget, where is that money held? Dept of Housing, NOAA, DoE, ….and outside corporations, like Fannie Mae. I can balance the budget just removing these lies, they’re in the hundred-billions as Fitts and U of Michigan can attest with raw accounting records.

    “• Syria’s Assad Resigns Amid Peace Efforts, Orders Peaceful Power Handover (Sp.)

    I am very disturbed over this, and more the very pivotal, lasting consequences, but start to look: What’s Syria’s burn rate? 50,000 a year for 10 years, since 2014? How many men in Syria at all, and how many ethnic Syrians? (20M) And? Who are their enemy? Turkey, the largest army. Open borders all sides. They’re flying in men from Dagestan, worldwide. Unable to get hold of the oil wells. Even if you shot men at 10:1 ratio your entire life, there would be more so long as Empire stands and has C130s.

    So what do you want Assad to do? He took power to make Syria a decent place for the Syrian people. He did for a long while. Would he also resign so that there would be a single Assyrian left alive to fight after 5,000 years, because that’s an option: that is their intent. Next: there’s no way and no reason for Russia to backstab him. So suspect Assad was in on all this and these monumental decisions he made. That’s why it collapsed, because they knew the deal.

    Assad is tough for a soft man, but not a brutal street fighter, like perhaps his father was. Do you want that? They didn’t want that before, when he took office, but it’s a tough neighborhood, like where ANY neighbor will kill ANY other neighbor for nothing, for a pack of smokes. And did: all the nations are arrayed AGAINST him, and AGAINST Gaza, Saudi, Oman, Egypt, Jordan, UAE, etc.

    Okay, you’re Assad: What would YOU do, smart guy? Ride out for one last, glorious stand like “Last Samurai” or “Return of the King”? Leave that to the movies, 100% of the Empire is happy to accommodate you, if Turkey is.

    Can’t stand it.

    “Here is Jeffrey Sachs on Morning Joe explaining how Obama deployed the Brennan CIA in a regime change op to begin the Syrian Civil War to take out Assad that armed jihadists and created ISIS”

    Since we did that we’re going to UN-do that and give it back to Assad now, right? That’s normal court justice, in fact with reparations.

    “• General Staff, Kremlin Agree To Withdraw Under Turkish Safe Passage (Helmer)

    If you want to be generous, they’re up to something, but what? Do you believe the given story here, they dinnin know nuffin’? Just sailed away in a panic? With an entire army massing in open desert under 24h satellites? Okay, let me put it this way: Israel, NeoCon move to start WWIII I was worried about only yesterday, it was that IRAN would have to come in, leave Iranian borders, “Invade” Syria, to stop it. Then Israel nukes Iran, or Syria, gets their world war. Russia, China, all in anyway INSTEAD of EuroBanking collapsing – and the same villains causing this. Now, nope. So show me what you would do.

    It’s all fun and we’re all a genius when you’re not being shot at.

    Trump’s View:

    Uh-huh, so now there are “The battle of the five armies” as a desperate gambit, both for the 10-year bleed AND for just one month to start WWIII. And those five armies are all rivals, bloodthirsty dregs of the empire, flown in with CIA drug money from furthest corners. And each leader wants to run all Syria.

    So will the Empire shut them down four of the rivals and pick one, unite them under the others, or will they fight anyway? Not well-recognized is that MURDERING EVERYONE, and running a stable, established government, are two very different personalities and skill sets. It’s rare to get both, like Washington, DeGaulle maybe. So all five and bloodthirsty, fast-living NON rulers. That’s not a problem for empire which has played this 500 times. But it is a thing.

    Back to Trump: So all five deadly armies are killing each other? Let them. All CIA men? Let them.

    “Putin’s inability to ever finish a task has cost him Syria.”

    PCR gloating instead of picking up a rifle. Thanks. Okay, smart guy, if Russia had committed in Syria in 2014, then They’d have fought and won Ukraine how? While shuttling all arms over hostile territory and NOT having the support of the Russian people? Even doing a 1/3 would have lost Syria AND stopped any SMO from being waged.

    You think the Empire wouldn’t have rallied the world already, France, England, Germany all mobilized to fight in Syria, they’d be years ahead and on good footing now? Russia “Invading” Syria, “Threatening” Israel, poor little darlings. No, that’s a non starter.

    “• Rumors Swirl About The West Planning To ‘Exile’ Zelensky (RMX)

    Same day as the “Trade” with Syria. Coincidence.

    ““When Elon Musk told Twitter employees to go back to work, a third of them quit—they weren’t used to working.

    Not really: Blue Square told them to have Five Years of Hate, so they did. Now they actually have passion, will sacrifice and stand for things. Unlike our side. Too bad everything they believe in is bulls—t. So we’ll die and go broke for the lies but not the truth. Net-net.

    “Traditionally pardons have not been given in advance of indictment.”

    Supreme Court. Define what a “Pardon” is. How can it exist before any legal registered crime? Even suspicion? Legally you’re pardoning a thing that doesn’t exist, Dividing by zero. And also who is served? No one gets to know what happened, can read it in court. As I’ve often said, that’s more important to broad society than giving one guy a rotten time for a few years.

    I can’t un-murder anyone but someone can find out that her brother is dead and why.

    “• Biden ‘Worst President’ In Modern History; Devastating New Poll Finds (ZH)

    No one goes to jail. His party is still running and stopping half the government. Or 90%. That’s “Democracy”. …If the Right just gives up, hugs despair, leaves. Oh Despair! I love you sooooo much! Mwah! Let’s run away and do nothing together!

    “Biden is unique in that he deliberately created the circumstances that made his presidency so disastrous.”

    Yeah, about that: Biden did everything he could to look bad and Trump to look good. Funny ol’ world. Which Biden? The 6 foot one or the 5 foot one? Which one was signing things?

    “People are not reading your stuff. Right? I can’t sugarcoat it anymore.”

    Why would you ever sugarcoat it? That’s a feminine orientation. The male orientation is to tell them to give their balls a tug before I kick you in them. So 1) Lying. 2) Not lying. And which is which and whom? Yeah, that. I’m not saying that “Supporting the family with little indulgences” is a bad thing or should be banned. But it’s certainly a known vice that needs to be kept under control before your kid is a worthless, drooling brat.

    Why would you ever lie? Why would you ever “Sugarcoat”? So you’re saying your paper, every staff member has been lying to themselves, to everyone else, for years or decades. Right? Yes, that’s what you’re saying, and even when you say it the words they don’t connect for you. Like, that’s okay, that doesn’t indicate deeper problems here. Can’t just come in at 8:30 instead of 9am, business as usual.

    Trumptard Tariffs

    Caught this last section of an article by Mish on Zerohedge

    Tariffs are a tax on the low income

    A Lose-Lose Proposition. (Tariffs)

    In response to my article Trump’s Proposed Tariffs Are a Tax on Consumers, Primarily the Poor I received sever reader comments that are worth discussing.

    One of my readers commented: “So it’s OK for other countries to put tariffs on us, but not ok for us to put tariffs on them? Got it.”

    For starters I never proposed I agreed with tariffs other countries place on the US. So right off the bat it’s a silly comment.

    Moreover, the logic translates to “But mom, Susie did it too.”
    To which my mom would reply: “If Susie jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?”

    The fact is, China’s export subsidies are a direct benefit to US consumers at the expense of Chinese consumers.

    Chinese taxpayers are subsidizing US consumers and we complain. Trump and Biden effectively say “I insist we pay more.”

    Should Anyone Care Whether Underwear Is Produced in the US or China?

    On November 22, I asked Should Anyone Care Whether Underwear Is Produced in the US or China?

    This ridiculous-looking question gets to the heart of tariff discussions.

    Trump makes no distinction between strategic items and underwear. To him, exports are good and imports are bad.

    Meanwhile ….

    China Halts Rare Exports Used by US Technology Companies and the Military

    On December 3, I commented China Halts Rare Exports Used by US Technology Companies and the Military

    This is China’s advance salvo at Trump tariffs. It comes one day after the Biden administration expanded curbs on the sale of advanced American technology to China.

    The US is not focused on the the real trade war that looms. We are too busy focused on underwear and tires.

    Might I suggest we address strategic items instead of underwear?

    You can’t keep hiring more government employees. You have to make them nongovernmental employees

    *sigh*
    No, hiring people through contracts so that you can avoid paying retirement and medical benefits does not fix any problems, all it does is (a) enrich the third part contractor, (b) likely reduce the compensation of those hired by the contractor, (c) cause those working for the contractor to either forego health insurance, have less robust health coverage, or be eligible for Medicaid, and (d) likely result in the contractor’s employee’s relying solely on Social Security for their retirement. When government doesn’t have to be bothered with pesky costs like medical care and pensions for its employees, then it is easier for legislatures to ignore such societal problems generally, or to outsource them to medical corporations and Wall Street who will deliberately organize the landscape to enrich themselves at the expense of the average worker. I agree that the federal workforce should be downsized to make it more efficient, not by rehiring workers by corporations contracted with the government. The corporations will take the wealth extracted by their contracts and use a sizable portion to lobby government for what benefits the corporations and their shareholders at the expense of the non-wealthy.

    As satisfying as it would be to see Fauci behind bars, the most important issue is that all that is hidden is publicly aired — the next best thing to prison time for these self-serving and elite-serving people is that their perfidies become general knowledge — part of the public vernacular — so that no one trusts them ever again and they do not have public sympathy.

    2 “assassins” work better than one, as demonstrated with the “missed by that much” Trump assassination attempt.

    Every time that I carefully examine every single one of the ongoing crises I come up with the same simple and staggeringly unacknowledged explanation of WHY we are having each particular crisis, WHO is responsible for each particular crisis, and WHAT we must do about it to set things right again.

    We are having the crisis because we (and others) are acting like cowardly, selfish liars. Some are doing so significantly more than others. Those who are MOST responsible for it are the PROFESSIONAL cowardly, selfish liars who we look up to (for some insane reason) as our leaders. In saying that I mean to include the so-called “leaders” of every institution that I know of, bar none.

    And what we must do about that is the same most important “same answer” as the answer to all of the other big questions (Who, What, Why). What we must do about all of it is to stop being cowardly, selfish liars, and start being courageous, generous, truth tellers.

    There is no alternative except utter failure and death. There is no shortcut either. The ONLY way to be a generous, truthful hero is to simply be one.

    When you choose THAT route, and you put your walk where your talk used to be, then you are signing on with the God Creator of the Universe. Which is the entire point of this comment, and which also (and by the way) is the solution to every single one of those so-called “crises” that scare you so much.

    “Former Secret Service agent Richard Staropoli warned Thursday that Donald Trump could be targeted in an attack before he is inaugurated as president, and that the Secret Service may not be able to prevent it”

    if my named happened to be:
    Brennan, Comey, Garland, Mueller, Strzok, or Wray
    or i was the Secret Service guy with sunglasses posing for the camera in Butler
    i would probably be having an in the garden moment, being in such agony that sweat falls to the ground like great drops of blood, everytime someone popped up and said something like Staropoli

    just my personal opinion:
    it would have been much better had Ali been among the ten

    So it seems this Dewd was right all along.

    Amir Weitmann, a member of Israel’s ruling Likud Party, claims that the fall of the “Assad Regime” marks the victory of the Israeli-Ukrainian coalition against the Russian-Iranian coalition. You might remember Amir from October 2023

    Good explanation. Acceptable for those who doubt.

    For clarification, who is the “Ali” you write of, and what does “amongst the 10” mean? I lack references to understand what you wrote, except for the Staropoli part. I do understand the implications of what it means for an insider to speak out of school and state outright what it is that the folks on the inside are talking about and planning to do. Scary shit.

    What an astonishing turn of events. The ramifications from the Jewish-American seizure of Syria will be many and all of them bad. If Gaza is a bloodbath we will need another word to describe the future facing the Lebanese, Syrians and Palestinians.

    Iran too now faces the real prospect of NATO being able to wage a land campaign against her thru Syria,Turkey and Iraq. Trump’s primary mission given him by the Zionists has just been made an awful lot easier

    Just fyi: Israel is now fighting on multiple fronts – Lebanon, Gaza, the West Bank, Yemen (Ansarallah), Iran and now, potentially Syria. Army is fatigued, demoralized – no longer regarded as the “most moral” army and shown by Hezballah and Hamas to not be the most powerful either. Literally thousands of military either wounded or mentally ill. Reported for many war crimes and atrocities. Prison system rife with physical and hideous sexual abuse. Surviving on US munitions which are running low. David’s Sling and Iron Dome shown to be easily penetrated by Iran, Hezbollah and Ansarallah. The vaunted Merkova tanks have been shown to be death traps in hand to hand combat, with the troops inside being literally burned alive. The hostages, those who are still alive, continue to be held in Gaza. The country is intensely politically divided at many levels, and the leader is being tried for corruption as we speak. And his military cabinet is about to engorge the West Bank… This is the time to invade Syria?? Again, the Axis of Resistence policy is to side step overt confrontation (but responds directly when strategically crucial) but, more usually, death by a thousand cuts.

    Israel is no longer the country it was prior to October 7th – severely challenged, to name a critical few of the areas of concern: 1) military readiness: 2) economics (huge deficit, huge unfunded liabilities, emigration of professional class); 3) political stability: 4)leadership credibility: and, 5) the allegiance of the population, to the war status. Important to give the asymmetrical and non state actors in Syria time to respond.
