fear and loathing (not in las vegas) worked for centuries as an expedient

now having only a handful of major news moguls, they dictate the flow of news globaly and by this they dictate global awerness and channel / manipulate mass media, they define what you have to think and which questions you need to ask, goebbels could have learned a lot from those, and while i was working for different news and tv stations, i had luck to view behind the scenes, contrary to popular belief, critical thinkers are not welcome in the mainstream news world, because with bad news you earn much more money than with good news, who gives a "cent" that sombody fought successfully cancer, when a headline like this above will sell better, and only a frightened population is a good population.

We are heading in the direction of a world war 3, I am not a dooms day'r but all indications point to this reality. The battle lines are being drawn as we speak, inevitably a most dangerous world we live in.

you're absolutely correct, Stanislav. bad news with the media spin is all that its about today. and curiously, today's breaking news of dire and terrible things disappears into the abyss as some other breaking news breaks. those three hundred girls (apart from i think it was 60 who escaped) are still in captivity with Boko Haram but were is the outcry now? the media moved on. are those lives not as important as the lives of the people threatened by ISIL or whatever new terrorist group is now the media's darling?

ISIL is not going to overcome america even if they are 30,000 strong. the difference between ISIL and the other caliphate wannabes is that they have paid attention to the western media and learnt how to manipulate it. doesn't mean they're invading our borders or about to chop off our heads while we sleep at night.

Mario, world war 3 will be the end of the human race as we know it so let's hope not. i certainly don't trust Putin though. he's capricious.

a relative of mine lives in russia, his views from the russian side of things are totaly different than western media is trying to make us believe, namely that merkel is the most fascist politician of them all, like ukraina not beeing enough, heading towards moscow; russain media aslo says that hitler was the smaller bad guy than her

looking at russian politics throuout history, we dont have so many issues with them, than the world with russians, cold war leaves its traces till this day

actually same crap as with the kosovo - a global intervention in the means of devide and conquer, without the knowledge what is all about, because media is pushing false infos on

tu quoque mi fili?

I know, I know. Conspiracy theories, scaremongering and dirty money are the usual culprits. But let's look at a few facts.

1. This group did brutally behead two Americans and a Brit.
2. It is obvious by their actions that, given the chance, they will kill
3. There are only 30,000 of them (by some estimates).
4. The world will be better off if they are killed.

 

Carolyn Weltman

9 Years Ago

this group did brutally behead two americans and a brit
yes they will kill given the opportunity

that's no reason for us to panic and start a war. that's playing into their hands as it is what they want.

however Boko Haram are doing the same thing and we're not going after them. why not? and if you killed every one of ISIL some other new terrorist group will spring up and are already forming.

the oil companies will be better off if they are killed.

 

John Crothers

9 Years Ago

Why NOT kill them Carolyn and every other little group that sticks their head up?

Will the world not be better off without them?

It's not going to start a "war". Who will oppose us killing these people?

Yes, we are not doing anything about Boko Haram. Should we, as a nation, do something about EVERY group of killers? Our nation cannot win. We are wrong for going after group of killer #1 and wrong for NOT going after group of killers #2. Perhaps we should just ignore it all. let people kill each other, at will, as long as they leave US alone. That is actually fine with me. I am, after all, paying for these bombs and drones.

 

Carolyn Weltman

exactly, let them kill each other if that's what they choose to do. i just don't think we should be involved at all. our biggest mistake was getting involved in the first place. John, a miracle. we agree ;)

"ISIL is not going to overcome america even if they are 30,000 strong."

but...
al qaeda didn't overcome America on 911...which goes to show these groups don't have to "overcome" militarily to "overcome" us/affect us and our civil liberties.. 911 is why we are even talking about isis. They are also the only terror group with a large amount of US/western passports.
If they get a nuke...they don't need 30K men. ;)

But I understand your post...just wanted to show...they have already "overcome" us in many ways. ;)

as far as the news we hear;
About 6 major corps control all the news media...and we hear what they want us to hear;

Carolyn,

of course my daughter ;) lol we can agree on many things we share in common :)

John,

every war journalist / photographer knows whats "waiting" for them, so those few - how is that called - colleteral damage victims cant be counted as war victims by my understanding, they knew too well the riscs

fighting and killing never solved anything, except good food for the news makers, do you remeber that staged / faked sarajevo market bombing back in 1992 which led to a big chain reaction ... actually none of us should be in the position to tell whats the best option, as none of us has a real source, everything is filtered, we only should agree that killing isnot an option

Stanislav,

I tend to agree that these people knew what they were risking. But it does speak volumes about the group that would kill them in such a way. They weren't killed as part of covering a battle. They were captives, prisoners. They weren't fighting. It is one thing for a reporter to get shot covering an active battle, quite another to have your head removed by a knife.


Fighting and killing HAS solved things. Not often but it has shaped the world. Your profile says you are from Germany so perhaps you have forgotten the one time fighting and killing was a good thing. Absolutely necessary.

i know propaganda when i see it, that was a miserable atempt at this, tho its seems to me, it fruited with some ... :(

my profile says i live in germany, im a serb, also one country that got bombed by the us ;) and i was down there while that was happening, in which wars were you ?

Barry...

I've had many discussions on faa about 911 in the past...I saw the buildings burn...I smelled the smoke...I know a fireman who heard the blasts on the floors...I believe bldg 7 was blown on purpose due to what took place there...and there's the pentagon no plane parts mystery...on and on.

But the fact remains...our civil liberties changed because of "al-q" in the eyes of the masses...when you can prove otherwise...then we can discuss that....otherwise we have to continue on your "conspiracy thread". ;)

If these groups didn't exist...no one could use them as a blame tool. But they do exist...they do chop off heads...and they don't need 30K men to "overcome" us!

Now...Are you saying the US created al-q and isis in order to use them as scapegoats? That these groups don't really exist?...or that these groups are working with the US gov in order to help produce this?:....



Believe me...I'm awake....and guess what date H.W.'s "new world order speech was made"?


lol...and yes..."Al Jazerra" is surely a safe haven for our news. (Granted they're better)

But did you know this about AJ?

A former ABC News Vice President is the president of the network.
A former CNN guy is Vice President of News Programming.
A former CBS News executive is Vice President of News Gathering.
A former MSNBC executive is senior vice president of Documentaries and Programs.

btw it’s owned by Qatar-royal family...so look into our relationship with them ;)

Like I said...6 major corps owns all news media!

Sorry Barry - I put this in the other thread and then I saw this one, so . . .

I'm an American and I am sick of war. I can't foresee a time when my country is not not fighting in another country.
Before anyone puts the question to me, if I would prefer it be on my own soil the answer is, I don't want to be at war on ANYONE's soil, period.
I don't want to be at war. I think most Americans don't want any more war.
It seems we need to have our hands in just about everything, just about anywhere, just about anymore.
I'm damn happy that the generation below my own is grown, since they seem to be the ones who want less war, unlike their fathers, grandfathers and uncles.

Donna..its fine..it seems to be getting to the point where all the threads are becoming interchangeable...lol.. oh..and Hear Hear btw!

Lawrence.. forgive me. You are right of course. In the eyes of the masses A q are responsible.. and until we get solid proof otherwise, then that's the consensus.. (but we know the truth lol )

"Now...Are you saying the US created al-q and isis in order to use them as scapegoats? That these groups don't really exist?...or that these groups are working with the US gov in order to help produce this?:."

Hmmm.. neither.. I believe they have been hoodwinked too. They really do want to wipe out the west, but, I suspect they have been brainwashed by fundamentalists at the top of these organisations who ARE working with or being manipulated by big business.. Similar to the Saddam situation where it turns out he was helped into power. He actually started out as a peace loving socialist who loved nothing more than the shisha pipe, crochet, lace work and knitting, ;o)

again.Forgive me..you certainly are awake!

Isis is reported to have up to 50,000 members/militants and today a coalition of multiple countries mounted an air attack in Syria ,sophisticated U.S missiles and bombs, and at the end of the day it is believed we eliminated 70 ISIS fighters, and it's unconfirmed. we are also on HIGH ALERT for lone wolf attacks, yeah, Scaremongering is certainly at play here as is propaganda.

i understand we should not be talking about racism. that's one of the, "no" topics. i don't know why, it is rife in the united states as it is in many other countries in the world. the elephant in the room indeed. perhaps if humans were willing to talk about this in the past, millions of lives would have been saved. and in fact, the GOP, in their fervour to bring down our black President (and we all in our hearts know this to be true) are responsible for confusing the ISIL issue by not coming back to Congress and leaving the war to the President when really it is up to the Congress to handle this but they ducked out because there are elections coming up. the GOP are also responsible for not allowing more funding for the CDC (ebola vaccine) and for not allowing the President to elect a surgeon general (ebola, school shootings). maybe we should not be sticking our heads in the sand anymore.

don't worry, i won't bring it up again, Mario but felt that we should put things in perspective a little. America would be in a far better place today if we all took notice of what is really going on. so get out and vote everyone and let's start getting rid of a no good Congress, put America back where it belongs and in the process, help the rest of humanity. let us all grow up and come together as a nation (oops i sound like steven colbert now) and do our best to make this year of turbulence end in a more peaceful way. it can be done. and it can be done by artists as much as anyone else.

thank you, Samuel, i am very honoured by what you said.

Lawrence, Samuel's writings are not lost on me and i think quite a few of the rest of us get what he is saying so if he's changed one or two peoples' thinking, he's ultimately changed millions. pay it forward.

How can anyone NOT talk about something like racism, the meaning of which no one will talk about long enough so as to come to an agreement about what we're actually talking about!

Though affirmative action may once upon a time – in a utopian fairytale land - have been an idea whose ‘good intentions’ had merit, nowadays it serves only to erect barriers and prejudices against those whose accident of birth didn’t make them a minority.

Patrick -

This needs to be said without being deleted.

I posted earlier today after hearing from Abbie that discussing racism is fine but we can't be racist. That makes a whole lot of sense! Our ruler Mario decided we can't discuss it and went on to delete my posts informing the group that FAA says it's fine, and any subsequent comments I made, leaving his own up, which made no sense. It suspiciously ended up looking like he is trying to make people think that I've been disruptive when in fact, I was stating my opinions on other people's posts and thanking them for posting.

I took him to the "Want a Piece of Me Group" and he deleted that thread -stating there was no need for that thread any longer. He's been busy deleting threads and people's comments a lot today. Other people chimed in and he deleted their comments and that thread.

Thank God for divine intervention!

Uhh...No. I didn't start a racism discussion or make any comments about racism until Samuel shared his first post.

But, more importantly - don't you think it is necessary for people to know that it was your rule when in fact, you were saying FAA said, no discussions on racism? I questioned that FAA said it, so I asked. I'm sorry if you felt I overstepped your authority. But I guess I did.

Lastly, if you don't have the patience then quit responding to me because I do have the patience to reply.

Very well said Patrick in your post way up there.

And now I would like to respond to Samuels post now that I can. He stated ..."And it's ironic you chose Colin Powell as your champion to make your point. For all the qualifications you duly noted, he happens to be an ardent supporter of affirmative action, in case you aren't aware. So through him, you have inadvertently promoted affirmative action as a worthwhile tool, yourself. Meanwhile, Condoleezza Rice has gone on record to say she knows she benefitted from affirmative action while at Stanford. Do they get a free pass in your view because they're part of the conservative sphere? '

On the contrary, I was hoping you and others would realize that I am not a racist by using Colin Powell as an example of someone I think would be more qualified as a Commander-in-Chief. He is black you know. I don't care if he is an ardent supporter of affirmative action because I don't think that is an issue that is as important as the security of this nation. As a voter, I weigh different issues based on their importance not on the color of the legislator's skin. Again the affirmative action comment was not about a black president, it was about a president that conceals his academic records leading people to believe the rumors that surround him. As long as he refuses to reveal the truth there will always be people that believe the rumors. He has brought this on himself.

Samuel wrote: “The biggest threat to America has been mis-identified practically forever. Our destruction won't come from foreign powers, a sea of undocumented immigrants taking over, degraded morals exemplified by same sex marriage or abortion "on demand", ISIS/ISIL, ebola, or any other external threat. No. It will come from us drowning in a sea of nothing more simple than our own hate masquerading as patriotism and Constitution-thumping.”

I’ll take a shot at interpreting that to mean that in Samuels’ mind, the festering and ‘all-inclusive’ hatred that we somehow equally share with our fellow Americans will be the force that destroys this great country of ours because we’ve gotten in the habit of dressing up our contempt for each other in pinwheels and bunting.

That’s a crock of hooey.

Truth is, among many other great statesmen who have since reiterated the sentiment, ‘twas Abe Lincoln who presciently identified the biggest threat to America as, “…something of ill-omen, amongst us.”

Here’s a sample of what Lincoln meant, taken from his Lyceum Address, January 27, 1838:

“At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide. I hope I am over wary; but if I am not, there is, even now, something of ill-omen, amongst us.”

The force that divides us will conquer us, and that force now resides within our government, ensconced in all the workings and trappings of Marxist/Socialist ideology; in order to make their roles self-sustaining, those who hold political office, as well as those who are deeply entrenched in the mechanics of government – Statist bureaucrats – have sought to enslave us to the State, to make common serfs of all who would so easily abandon self-reliance in favor of ‘cradle-to-the-grave’ dependence on a nanny-state that looks down on the electorate.

The threat will rise from within government itself, and it's there right now, on its way to "...fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” — Barack Obama, October 30, 2008

Never seen him fall...

Samuel also wrote “Needless to say (though it's not said, enough), Israel's relationship to the rest of the Arab world is also key; not as a military, ideological or religious adversary but as an equal partner in a New Middle East alliance of nations that must also include Iran, as well. Anything short of this as a long term goal will only be using a water pistol on a forest fire.” That's true.

Saddam Hussein said on Baghdad TV in 2001 “There can never be stability, security or peace in the region so long as there are immigrant Jews usurping the land of Palestine.”

We took care of that pest now tell us how to take care of ISIS/ISIL/IS who wants to blow Iran, Israel, the U.S. and anyone else that stands in their way off the face of the earth.

NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden doccuments showing Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS, now the Islamic State, is an intelligence asset
NSA documents add more detail to plan to destabilize Middle East

According a document recently released by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS, now the Islamic State, is an intelligence asset.The NSA document reveals the United States, Israel, and Britain are responsible for the creation of ISIS.

Earlier this month Nabil Na’eem, the founder of the Islamic Democratic Jihad Party and former top al-Qaeda commander, told the Beirut-based pan-Arab TV station al-Maydeen all current al-Qaeda affiliates, including ISIS, work for the CIA.

ISIS is a well-armed and trained terrorist group now in control of large areas of Iraq and Syria.

The NSA document states the group was established by U.S., British and Israeli intelligence as part of a strategy dubbed “the hornet’s nest” to draw Islamic militants from around the world to Syria.

Prior Evidence of al-Baghdadi Link to Intelligence and MilitaryAbu Bakr al-Baghdadi “took intensive military training for a whole year in the hands of Mossad, besides courses in theology and the art of speech,” the documents explain, according to Gulf Daily News, a Bahrainian source.

In June a Jordanian official told Aaron Klein of WorldNetDaily ISIS members were trained in 2012 by U.S. instructors working at a secret base in Jordan. In 2012 it was reported the U.S., Turkey and Jordan were running a training base for the Syrian rebels in the Jordanian town of Safawi.




Al-Baghdadi was reportedly a “civilian internee” at Camp Bucca, a U.S. military detention facility near Umm Qasr, Iraq. James Skylar Gerrond, a former U.S. Air Force security forces officer and a compound commander at Camp Bucca in 2006 and 2007, said earlier this month the camp “created a pressure cooker for extremism.”

“Circumstantial evidence suggests that al-Baghdadi may have been mind-controlled while held prisoner by the US military in Iraq,” writes Dr. Kevin Barrett.

Creating a Fake Terror ThreatThe hornet’s nest strategy was designed to create the perception that Israel is threatened by an enemy near its borders.

According to the personal diary of former Israeli prime minister Moshe Sharett, however, Israel never took seriously an Arab or Muslim threat to its national security.

“Sharett’s diary reveals in explicit language that the Israeli political and military leadership never believed in any Arab danger to Israel,” writes Ralph Schoenman. “They sought to maneuver and force the Arab states into military confrontations which the Zionist leadership were certain of winning so Israel could carry out the destabilization of Arab regimes and the planned occupation of additional territory.”

In 1982 Oded Yinon, an Israeli journalist with links to the Israeli Foreign Ministry, wrote The Zionist Plan for the Middle East.

The white paper proposed “that all the Arab states should be broken down, by Israel, into small units” and the “dissolution of Syria and Iraq later on into ethnically or religiously unique areas such as in Lebanon, is Israel’s primary target on the Eastern front in the long run.”

The destruction of the Arab and Muslim states, Yinon suggested, would be accomplished from within by exploiting their internal religious and ethnic tensions.

I am posting this as an update to an old thread. The reason being I am amazed at how far and fast Iraq has been moving under the new leadership. The oil agreement which Maliki stalled for years is in law. Why is this important to their issue with ISIS? The leaderships from the different tribes are working together for a change. They have to, and the people of Iraq need to see there is light at the end of the tunnel. If a leader strives to bring food on the table, and shelter for their children they are happy. A contented people do not fall prey into the hands of evil as easily, and a country thrives.

This is the english translation,

BAGHDAD - ((eighth day))
The Cabinet approved on Tuesday the oil agreement between the federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government, which provides for delivery of the Kurdistan region of at least 250 000 barrels of oil per day to the federal government for the purpose of export.

The prime minister, in a statement received by ((eighth day)) that "the Council of Ministers decided in its meeting held today, to approve the agreement between the federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government, which was attended by the Prime Minister of the Federal Haider Abadi and President of the Kurdistan Regional Government Nechirvan Barzani."

"The agreement stipulates that the Iraqi oil belongs to all Iraqis and the Kurdistan region to hand over at least 250 000 barrels of oil per day to the federal government for the purpose of export."

She noted that "the agreement includes the export of 300 000 barrels per day by the federal government of the province of Kirkuk fields through the oil pipeline in the Kurdistan region of line."

She prime minister that "the conferees also agreed to allocate a percentage of the federal allocations ground forces of the Iraqi army to the Peshmerga forces, according to population ratio as part of the Iraqi security system."

Another one,

Iraq, the way the big offensive against the Isis "to liberate the country"


The operation will involve Ramadi, Tikrit, Kirkuk and Mosul. Jihadists for the first time under siege


December 4, 2014 16:41


Finally the waiting news came: the Iraqi prime minister, Hayder al-Abadi, announced the start of an offensive on a large scale across the country to free all areas occupied by ISIS. The maneuvers, begin tonight, will also involve the local tribes, starting from Anbar who has already given his willingness to fight the militants. To the north, however, there will be the Kurdish peshmerga. For the official start of the operation was expected the end of the training sessions for some selected items in each team. These, which are especially trained for months in the planning and use of complex telecommunications systems, have returned to their respective units and began to teach themselves to their colleagues. The goal of the intensive program was to standardize procedures for all units involved in the offensive, military and paramilitary, to maximize efficiency and effectiveness of the operation. The hunting of the Coalition, also thanks to the arrival of the A-10 Warthog Americans, provide close air support (CAS) for ground forces. Meanwhile, the Iraqi military have reassumed control of the main roads of the country to facilitate the movement of convoys. The last in order of time to be "liberated" was the road between Samarra and Fallujah, reclaimed along with some surrounding villages.


The objective of Baghdad is gradual. Begin to "clean up" Ramadi, while maintaining the pressure on the guerrillas in other areas to prevent them from organizing a response. Once "cleaned up" the area you will pass by the same method in Tikrit and Kirkuk. Finally, all the forces will be conveyed in the final battle in Mosul.
