Turkey’s attempted coup, their critical role for Europe/EU/NATO, and non-Russian natural gas

July 17, 2016 July 17, 2016

I think there are military coup’s happen which do not generate worldwide alarm.  On Friday, parts of the Turkish military announced they’d taken over in order to reestablish constitutional order etc.  But within a few hours President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan reestablished control and was cracking down on the dissidents — and perhaps…

Legendary British Journalist, John Pilger, telling us how The West (US, Britain, etc) created ISIS.  Supposedly we’re fighting against ISIS…but…?   This is appearing on RT News, and therefore serves Russia’s point of view.  The civil war in Syria is due to the global face-off between The West (US, Britain…

Captagon – the illegal drug fueling some Syrian fighting

November 24, 2015 November 24, 2015

One of the unmentioned causes of the Syrian Civil War appears to be the Captagon trade.  This is an illegal drug that can be easily manufactured by the millions in small factories. One role it plays to give the fighters “energy” – while on Captagon they can stay awake 24…

Origins of ISIS – Special Coverage from RT News in March 2015

November 23, 2015 November 23, 2015

This report by RT News looks into how ISIS .. a.k.a. Da-esh .. came into existence.  Their portrayal is incomplete – they describe ISIS as having come out of nowhere, when in reality it was an outgrowth of the power vacuum created in Iraq by the U.S. invasion of Iraq and…

Asking Qatar’s Foreign Minister about Qatar’s role in Syria

November 14, 2015 November 14, 2015

In the horrendous battle over Syria, one big question is Qatar’s role.  Supposedly the Syrian conflict is due to the horrid behavior of the Bashar al-Assad regime, the people rose up in rebellion against that behavior, and the fighting has spiraled out of control.  The rise of ISIS is therefore due…

Qatar/Iran natural gas field, Syria’s civil war and the refugee crisis

September 11, 2015 September 11, 2015

Syria’s fossil fuel resources are dwindling fast, making that country an unattractive place to fight a war over crude oil supplies.  Yet, a war is being fought over the future of Syria, and a side effect of that war is the huge refugee crisis in Europe.  Earlier I’ve made the case…

NATO Sec. General calls for addressing wrong root cause of refugee crisis

September 10, 2015 September 11, 2015

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg spoke in Prague (a very beautiful city) today saying “What NATO as an organization is doing is to address the root causes of the migrant crisis.”  That sounds cool, but reading on in the radio.cz report it’s clear that Stoltenberg’s idea of addressing root causes will…

Our addiction to crude oil created the Syrian refugee crisis

September 9, 2015 September 9, 2015

Refugees from wars in Syria, Yemen, North Africa and elsewhere are suffering unimaginably.  Hundreds of thousands of people have fled their homes, some making it as far as Europe, some drowning at sea, others stuck in war-torn areas for one reason or another, all of them bereft of home and livelihood.  In…
