Links America’s Multinational Ramadan Assault July 1, 2015 ( Tony Cartalucci – NEO ) – It is not hard to fathom who on Earth possesses both the resources and the motivation to coordinate multiple, horrific militant attacks, ending scores of lives and provoking both fear and anger on a global scale such as seen during the recent Ramadan attacks that unfolded in France, Tunisia, Kuwait, and reportedly in China’s western Xinjiang region. Only a few nations on Earth possess the operational capacity to run coordinated, multinational operations such as this. Only one axis among them has the motivation to do so
US To Begin Invasion of Syria US policymakers sign and date paper calling for the division, destruction, and US occupation of Syria. June 26, 2015 ( Tony Cartalucci – NEO ) – Unbeknownst to the general public, their elected politicians do not create the policy that binds their national destiny domestically or within the arena of geopolitics. Instead, corporate-financier funded think tanks do – teams of unelected policymakers which transcend elections, and which produce papers that then become the foundation of legislation rubber stamped by "legislators," as well as the enumerated talking points repeated ad naseum by the corporate-media. Such a policy paper has been recently written by the notorious US policy think-tank, the Brookings Institution, titled, " Deconstructing Syria: Towards a regionalized strategy for a confederal country ." The signed and dated open-conspiracy to divide, destroy, then incrementally occupy a sovereign nation thousands of miles from America’s shores serves as a sobering example of how dangerous and enduring modern imperialism is, even in the 21st century
June 20, 2015 ( Tony Cartalucci – NEO ) – The Bangkok Post has recently featured an AFP report titled, " Suu Kyi dodges Rohingya issue again ," which claims: Â In rare comments on Myanmar’s persecuted Rohingya Muslims, opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi urged caution on granting citizenship to minorities, saying the sensitive issue must be addressed "very, very carefully." The report then added: But in an interview published online late Tuesday, Suu Kyi dodged a direct question on whether the Rohingya – who have triggered international outcry as they flee the country on rickety boats in their thousands – should be given citizenship. "The protection of rights of minorities is an issue which should be addressed very, very carefully and as quickly and effectively as possible, and I’m not sure the government is doing enough about it," she said. "It is such a sensitive issue, and there are so many racial and religious groups, that whatever we do to one group may have an impact on other groups as well," she stressed."So this is an extremely complex situation, and not something that can be resolved overnight." If it appears Suu Kyi is attempting to argue against granting the Rohingya people citizenship, most of whom have lived in Myanmar for generations, that is because she is.
It was reported by the London Telegraph in its article, " Saudis offer Russia secret oil deal if it drops Syria ," that: Saudi Arabia has secretly offered Russia a sweeping deal to control the global oil market and safeguard Russia’s gas contracts, if the Kremlin backs away from the Assad regime in Syria.
