Error by Washington and Moscow

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria)
Washington and Moscow are working together to develop the military strength of the Syrian Kurds, allegedly to combat Daesh, but in reality to fight President Erdoğan, whom the two great powers would be happy to remove. But the apprentice dictator of Ankara is preparing to turn the tables. He has begun to re-shuffle the population at the Syrian frontier in order to catch the Turkish Kurds in a vice, and is preparing to use his Syrian Kurdish spy, Salih Muslim - armed by the United States and Russia – to create a Kurdistan in Syria to which he can expel the Turkish Kurds.

G7, the summit of Western hypocrisy

G7, the summit of Western hypocrisy

The G7 meetings, which were originally little more than simple informal conversations between the Western leaders, flirted for a while with the idea of becoming a world governement before falling back to organising a sort of public relations training course. The Ise-Shima summit reviewed the world’s main problems, and defined, for each of them, the elements of language which should be employed.

Towards the end of the Geneva negotiations

Washington and Moscow have managed to maintain their agreements on Syria after John Kerry assured his Russian oppposite number that the weapons sent by the Pentagon to Al-Qaïda and Daesh in April had been delivered to honour an old programme which is now abandoned. We are moving towards the end of the Geneva negotiations, and the resumption of intra-Syrian discussions – they will include the Kurds, but not the the pro-Saudi faction.

Israel and the Emirs in Nato

Rome (Italy)
The same day (4 May) that the new Supreme Allied Commander in Europe - US General Curtis Scaparrotti - took office at Nato, appointed just like his 17 predecessors by the US President, the North Atlantic Council announced that an official Israeli mission would be established at Nato’s headquarters in Brussels. [This mission] will be headed by the Israeli ambassador for the EU.
So, Israel is even further integrated into Nato, to which it is already closely linked through the “Individual (...)

US Escalation Against China

Rome (Italy)
“The scientific revolution that has brought about atomic fission requires a moral revolution”: with this historic phrase (coined by the presidential speech-writers) culminated Obama’s visit to Asia. On it, he declared at Hiroshima, his willingness to “mark out a path leading to the destruction of nuclear arsenals”. The Federation of American Scientists distances itself, providing evidence that the Obama Administration has reduced less than its predecessors, the number of nuclear tests.
Today, (...)

Hugo Chávez, The Poor Boy from Sabaneta

Hugo Chávez was a character of flesh and blood taken from the most imaginative novel of Gabriel García Márquez. A poor boy from Sabaneta (capital of the state of Barinas) who swore not to betray his infancy of deprivation and scarcity, he learnt very quickly to sow and to sell sweets. Son of primary school teachers, he grew up with his Grandma Rosa Ines and another two of his brothers. He lived in a house made out of palm, with walls and floors of mud, that would flood when it rained. A child (...)

Today’s Turkey continues the Armenian genocide

Damascus (Syria) | 14 May 2015

Today's Turkey continues the Armenian genocide

The world has just commemorated the centenary of the genocide of Turkish non-Muslims. However, contrary to conventional wisom, this crime began with the Hamidian massacres of 1894-95, which were ordered by Sultan Abdülhamid II, and continued on a huge scale with the massacres perpetrated between 1915 and 1923, planned by the young Turks. They continue today with the massacres of Deir ez-Zor and Kessab, organised by Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. For 120 years, the Turkish power elite have been successively massacring non-Muslimns - to general indifference - in order to build a homogenous nation.
