“Last Wednesday, at a Deputies Committee meeting
at the White House, officials from the State
Department, the CIA and the Joint Chiefs of Staff
discussed limited military strikes against the
(Assad) regime … One proposed way to get around
the White House’s long-standing objection to
striking the Assad regime without a U.N. Security
Council resolution would be to carry out the
strikes covertly and without public acknowledgment.”
– Washington Post
Call it stealth warfare, call it poking the bear,
call it whatever you’d like. The fact is, the
Syrian war has entered a new and more dangerous
phase increasing the chances of a catastrophic
confrontation between the US and Russia.
This new chapter of the conflict is the
brainchild of Pentagon warlord, Ash Carter, whose
attack on a Syrian outpost at Deir Ezzor killed
62 Syrian regulars putting a swift end to the
fragile ceasefire agreement. Carter and his
generals opposed the Kerry-Lavrov ceasefire deal
because it would have required “military and
intelligence cooperation with the Russians”. In
other words, the US would have had to get the
greenlight from Moscow for its bombing targets
which would have undermined its ability to assist
its jihadist fighters on the ground. That was a
real deal-breaker for the Pentagon. But bombing
Deir Ezzor fixed all that. It got the Pentagon
out of the jam it was in, it torpedoed the
ceasefire, and it allowed Carter to launch his
own private shooting match without presidential
authorization. Mission accomplished.
So what sort of escalation does Carter have in
mind, after all, most analysts assume that a
direct confrontation between the United States
and Russia will lead to a nuclear war. Is he really willing to take that risk?
Heck no, but not everyone agrees that more
violence will lead to a nuclear exchange. Carter,
for example, seems to think that he can raise the
stakes considerably without any real danger,
which is why he intends to conduct a
low-intensity, stealth war on mainly Syrian
assets that will force Putin to increase Russia’s
military commitment. The larger Russia’s military
commitment, the greater probability of a
quagmire, which is the primary objective of Plan
C, aka–Plan Carter. Take a look at this clip from
an article in Tuesday’s Washington Post which helps to explain what’s going on:
“U.S. military strikes against the Assad regime
will be back on the table Wednesday at the White
House, when top national security officials in
the Obama administration are set to discuss
options for the way forward in Syria…
Inside the national security agencies, meetings
have been going on for weeks to consider new
options to recommend to the president to address
the ongoing crisis in Aleppo,…A meeting of the
National Security Council, which could include
the president, could come as early as this weekend.
Last Wednesday, at a Deputies Committee meeting
at the White House, officials from the State
Department, the CIA and the Joint Chiefs of Staff
discussed limited military strikes against the regime…
The options under consideration… include bombing
Syrian air force runways using cruise missiles
and other long-range weapons fired from coalition
planes and ships… One proposed way to get around
the White House’s long-standing objection to
striking the Assad regime without a U.N. Security
Council resolution would be to carry out the
strikes covertly and without public
acknowledgment, the official said.”
(<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/josh-rogin/wp/2016/10/04/obama-administration-considering-strikes-on-assad-again/#comments>Obama
administration considering strikes on Assad, again, Washington Post)
Don’t you think the Washington Post should have
mentioned that Carter’s sordid-little enterprise is already underway?
Consider the bombing of Deir Ezzor, for example.
Doesn’t that meet the Post’s standard of “U.S.
military strikes against the Assad regime”?
Sure, it does.
And what about the two Syrian bridges US
warplanes took out over the Euphrates last week?
(making it more difficult to attack ISIS
strongholds in the eastern quadrant of the country) Don’t they count?
Of course, they do.
And let’s not forget the fact that Carter’s
jihadist buddies on the ground launched a mortar
attack on the Russian embassy in Damascus on
Tuesday. That’s another part of this
low-intensity war that’s already underway. So all
this rubbish about Obama mulling over these “new
options” for “military strikes” is complete
hogwash. Plan Carter is already in full swing,
the train already left the station. The only
thing missing is presidential authorization which
probably isn’t necessary since Il Duce Carter
decided that it was his turn to run the country.
Now check out this clip from a Memo to the
President from a group of ex-U.S. intelligence
agents who compelled to warn Obama about (among
other things) “asserting White House civilian
control over the Pentagon.” Here’s an excerpt:
“In public remarks bordering on the
insubordinate, senior Pentagon officials showed
unusually open skepticism regarding key aspects
of the Kerry-Lavrov deal. We can assume that what
Lavrov told his boss in private is close to his
uncharacteristically blunt words on Russian NTV on Sept. 26:
“My good friend John Kerry … is under fierce
criticism from the US military machine. Despite
the fact that, as always, [they] made assurances
that the US Commander in Chief, President Barack
Obama, supported him in his contacts with Russia…
apparently the military does not really listen to the Commander in Chief.”
Lavrov’s words are not mere rhetoric … Policy
differences between the White House and the
Pentagon are rarely as openly expressed as they are now over policy on Syria.”
(<https://consortiumnews.com/2016/10/02/obama-warned-to-defuse-tensions-with-russia/>Obama
Warned to Defuse Tensions with Russia, Consortium News)
How shocking is that? When was the last time you
read a memo from retired Intel agents warning the
president that the Pentagon was usurping his
Constitutional authority? That sounds pretty serious, don’t you think?
Bottom line: The Pentagon is basically
prosecuting their own little war in Syria and
then chatting up the policy with Obama when they
damn-well feel like it. Here’s more from the Washington Post:
“The CIA and the Joint Chiefs of Staff …
expressed support for such “kinetic” options, the
official said … That marked an increase of
support for striking Assad compared with the last
time such options were considered.” (Washington Post)
Of course they want to bomb Assad. They’re
losing! Everyone wants to bomb someone when
they’re losing. It’s human nature. But that
doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. It’s a very bad
idea. Just like supporting Sunni extremists is a
bad idea. Just like giving shoulder-launched
surface-to-air missiles (MANPADS) to fanatical
crackpots is a bad idea. How crazy is that? And
how long before one of these religious nutcases
use their new toys to take down an Israeli or American jetliner?
Not very long, I’d wager. The idea of
doubling-down on homicidal maniacs (By providing
them with more lethal weapons) is really one of
the dumbest ideas of all time, and yet, the
Pentagon and CIA seem to think that it’s tip-top
military strategy. Here’s one last blurb from the WA Post article:
“Kerry’s deputy, Antony Blinken, testified last
week that the U.S. leverage in Russia comes from
the notion that Russia will eventually become
weary of the cost of its military intervention in
Syria. “The leverage is the consequences for
Russia of being stuck in a quagmire that is going
to have a number of profoundly negative effects,”
Blinken told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.” (Washington Post)
See? There it is in black and white. “Quagmire”.
The new “Plan C” strategy is designed to create a
quagmire for Putin by gradually ratcheting up the
violence forcing him to prolong his stay and
deepen his commitment. It’s a clever trap and it
could work, too. The only hitch is that Putin and
his allies appear to be making steady headway on
the battlefield. That’s going to make a lot
harder for Syria’s enemies to continue the
provocations and incitements without triggering massive retaliation.
But maybe Carter hasn’t thought about that yet.
NOTE: Russia issues warning to Pentagon; Hostile
aircraft that threatens Syrian troops will be shot down
This is from a Thursday report on Sputnik International:
“The Russian Minister of Defense said “that
“Russian S-300, S-400 air defense systems
deployed in Syria’s Hmeymim and Tartus have
combat ranges that may surprise any unidentified
airborne targets. Operators of Russian air
defense systems won’t have time to identify the
origin of airstrikes, and the response will be
immediate. Any illusions about “invisible” jets
will inevitably be crushed by disappointing reality.”
No More Deir ez-Zors
“I point out to all the ‘hotheads’ that following
the September 17 coalition airstrike on the
Syrian Army in Deir ez-Zor we took all necessary
measures to exclude any similar ‘accidents’
happening to Russian forces in Syria,”
Konashenkov said.

So much emphasis is placed on select Jewish
participation in Bormann companies that when
Adolf Eichmann was seized and taken to Tel Aviv
to stand trial, it produced a shock wave in the
Jewish and German communities of Buenos Aires.
Jewish leaders informed the Israeli authorities
in no uncertain terms that this must never happen
again because a repetition would permanently
rupture relations with the Germans of Latin
America, as well as with the Bormann
organization, and cut off the flow of Jewish
money to Israel. It never happened again, and the
pursuit of Bormann quieted down at the request of
these Jewish leaders. He is residing in an
Argentinian safe haven, protected by the most
efficient German infrastructure in history as
well as by all those whose prosperity depends on his well-being.

Please consider seriously the reason why these elite institutions are not discussed in the mainstream press despite the immense financial and political power they wield?
There are sick and evil occultists running the Western World. They are power mad lunatics like something from a kids cartoon with their fingers on the nuclear button! Armageddon is closer than you thought. Only God can save our souls from their clutches, at least that's my considered opinion - Tony
