Everything on Bellingcat and the official inquiry into the destruction of Flight MH17

by Jürgen Cain Külbel

Berlin (Germany) | 5 April 2019
Jürgen Cain Külbel is an ex-investigator for the criminal police of the Democratic Republic of Germany. He became a journalist after the reunification of Germany. He has managed to identify the author of the reports posted on the Bellingcat site which influenced the international police team tasked by Ukraine with establishing the cause of the destruction of Flight MH17. This amateur, who « found » evidence of Russian guilt which he claims to be « irrefutable », is in reality a musician, with no competence whatsoever in criminalistics.

The UNO destroyed by US « exceptionalism »

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 2 April 2019
Now weakened in comparison with their Russian and Chinese competitors, the United States have returned to their historical reflexes. In terms of foreign relations, they have abandoned the liberal international order and returned to the doctrine of exceptionalism. By questioning their own engagement with the Security Council, they have opened the way to the deconstruction of international Law and the end of the United Nations. This evolution, which shocked the countries of Western Europe and plunged them into confusion, had been anticipated by Russia and China, who were preparing for it.

The new Grand Strategy of the United States

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 26 March 2019
Many people think that the United States is very active, but does not succeed in much. For example, it is said that its wars in the Greater Middle East are a succession of failures. But for Thierry Meyssan, the USA has a coherent military, commercial and diplomatic strategy. According to its own objectives, it advances patiently, and is crowned with success.

The lies of Algerian Power

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 19 March 2019
The criteria that we habitually use in politics to explain power games do not apply to Algeria. Its current leaders are above all impostors who have fabricated, one by one, false biographies in order to obtain the consideration of their compatriots. Inch by inch, they have clawed their way to the highest summit of the State. They hold their positions there by the will of the great powers who pretend to believe their fables in order the better to manipulate them.

The deception of international penal Justice

The ICC intends to violate the decision of the Security Council and try Bachar el-Assad

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 12 March 2019
Everyone believed it to be impossible for the International Criminal Court (ICC) to try the Syrians, since China and Russia exercised their vetos against a Western draft resolution to do so. But no! A piece of legal sleight of hand may make it possible to dodge the decision of the Security Council. The Court hopes to incriminate President Bachar el-Assad, not for the murder of Rafic Hariri (that lie fizzled out some time ago), but for « crimes against humanity ».

Military intervention can not overthrow the Venezuelan government

by Valentin Vasilescu

Bucharest (Romania) | 8 March 2019
While several Latin American states and US Special Forces seem to be preparing to attack Venezuela, Valentin Vasilescu examines the balance of power and topography. According to him, no form of invasion can defeat this vast country defended by a jungle, much larger than in Vietnam. Any intervention can only aim to destabilize the country, not to overthrow its government.

From Iraqi weapons of mass destruction to Syrian chemical weapons

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 5 March 2019
In a report dated 1 March 2019, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) attests to the fact that were never any prohibited chemical substances in Douma (Syria) during the attack of 7 April 2018. The reprisal tripartite bombing (United States, France, United Kingdom) was therefore unjustified. This scandal is exactly identical to the story of the bogus Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. It will be followed by many other items of fake news as long as the West continues to trust their medias.

Balakot Airstrike – Forensic Satellite Imagery Analysis

by Great Game India

Bangalore (India) | 2 March 2019
On February 14, a terrorist attack killed 40 members of the Indian police force in Pulwama. It was claimed by Jaish-e-Mohammed, the jihadist group that attacked the Indian Parliament in 2001 and tried to assassinate the Pakistani president in 2003. In retaliation, India bombed what it considers to be the seat of the organization in Pakistan. JeM is activated whenever Indo-Pakistan relations improve. For Great game India, the Indian bombardment seems to be a false operation without victims; which seems to confirm the release by Pakistan of an Indian pilot shot.

Jihadism and high treason

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 26 February 2019
European citizens who were encouraged to join the armed struggle in Syria alongside the pro-Western mercenaries can not be pursued for collaboration with the enemy as long as they can claim the support of NATO and its member-states. The European states can not bring them to trial without examining the prime responsibility of their own leaders for the war against Syria.

The CIA is using Turkey to pressure China

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 19 February 2019
While Turkey has fostered economic links with China in order to solve its economic crisis, it has also publicly denounced the repression of the Uyghurs, basing its accusations on false information. Beijing sent a very cold reply. Everything is happening, now that Daesh has disappeared from Iraq and Syria, as if Ankara was once again running secret operations on behalf of the CIA, this time in Xinjiang.

The rapprochement between Paris and Berlin

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 15 February 2019
This is an extremely serious matter – under the appearance of uniting their efforts to work for peace, Paris and Berlin are linking their foreign policies, and will soon be linking their Defence policies. In reality, this evolution is proceeding from the top down, without consulting the population, and is destroying their democratic acquisitions.

Can Venezuela and its neighbours survive the coming war?

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 12 February 2019
The crisis which is destabilising Venezuela, like those which are beginning in Nicaragua and Haïti, needs to be analysed in order to enable us to address it. Thierry Meyssan reminds us of three interpretative hypotheses and argues in favour of one of them. He evokes the US strategy and the ways in which it may be countered.

Iran is cornered

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 7 February 2019
The United States are preparing to organise the « Greater Middle East » without their troops. They will probably capitalise on the errors committed over the last five years by Iran in order to create a Judeo-Sunni military alliance, dubbed the « Arab NATO » by the Press, who will be sent to fight the Chiites.

The exile in the Balkans of Mohammed Dahlan

by Milenko Nedelskovski

Skopje (Macedonia) | 1 February 2019
The troubled course and power of Mohammed Dahlan are shaking Palestinians. Near Yasser Arafat, he implemented his assassination at the request of Israel. Unable to maintain order during the fratricidal war between Hamas and Fatah, he resigned from his post and fled abroad. Now based in Egypt, he heads Palestinian security again and has excellent relations with Yahya Sinwar, the Prime Minister of Gaza. During his exile, he has woven many links that he now exploits ...

The 116th US Congress is preparing a new war against Syria

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 31 January 2019
We were wrong to think that the Syrians were out of danger after their victory over the jihadists. They are not. Israël and the United States have not abandoned their war objective of the destruction of state structures. They are preparing a new war, this time financial, in order to prevent the reconstruction of the country and condemn the Syrian people to rot in the ruins.
