Can’t shake the cough! Hillary Clinton chokes up at Florida rally and pops a throat lozenge just minutes before she’s helped down a set of stairs by an aide as health woes continue to plague her and It’s official: There WAS a problem with Trump’s audio equipment at the first presidential debate, and the bipartisan commission confirms it is the news from WWIII USA today. The local Punch and Judy show whereby voters sort of get to choose ‘leaders’ is going into the cesspool due to the fact that all dying empires are ruled the same way: crappy. To fix the dying empire stuff, the US elites have chosen suicide: nuclear war with Russia and China.
Yes, this is insanity. But then, think like these crazy lunatics think: nuclear winter will stop global warming (as they see things)! Yes, that’s the fix for our climate! Blow up everything, cover the earth with soot, etc. and then voila! Most of the world population will die of bombs or starvation and the survivors come out of their caves to take over the earth. Wonderful, no? Insane? Yes.
The chaos caused by the release of some smidgin of information about how Saudi royals conspired to attack the US on 9/11 continues. Now we can see clearly why the 9/11 commission kept secret the information about who was attacking the US that day: Saudi Arabia. 9/11 Bill Crashes Saudi Stock Exchange, Bond Market Ambitions in SA| OilPrice.com:
The issue is rattling confidence in a crucial strategic and economic alliance between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia. Riyadh has threatened to sell off U.S. treasuries if the bill moves forward. As the veto override vote has worked its way through the Senate, Saudi Arabia’s currency plunged to its lowest level in four months, and its stock market “lost the most in the world for a second straight day,” Bloomberg reported. Bloomberg follows 90 stock indices, and Saudi Arabia’s Tadawal All Share Index was the worst performer in recent days, falling to its lowest point since the beginning of this year (a time when oil prices dropped to below $30 per barrel). This could complicate or delay Saudi Arabia’s bond sale, sources told Bloomberg.
In a sign of how acute the economic problems have become for Saudi Arabia, it appears that the Saudis have been the most aggressive in pushing for a production freeze between OPEC and Russia in Algiers this week. Over the past two years, more financially-strapped countries such as Venezuela and Iran have been the ones eager for market intervention to boost oil prices, while the Saudis have been content to let the market sort everything out, pushing high-cost producers out of business. But the tables have turned, as Javier Blas of Bloomberg noted this week. Now, Iran, fresh off of international sanctions and a huge increase in oil production, sees no need to limit its output.
Yes, finally giving Iran some small justice, this means world oil markets will be flooded again. for our rulers, this is evil news. For citizens in the US, this is delightful news. Do you know anyone who is moaning about gas costing less than $3.50 a gallon? I don’t see anyone upset about this.
Russia exports energy, too. The US attacks on Putin which has risen to utter hysteria seems to me to be a way of destroying Russia’s energy markets and thus raise the cost of energy in Europe, for example. I know no Europeans who want very expensive energy, already they pay much higher energy bills due to global warming fears as a ferocious winter heaves in the future as we go into a la Nina event.
And US voters are doublecrossed yet again: Congressional Leaders Move to Weaken 9/11 Victims Bill After Override — News from Antiwar.com.
Just 24 hours after standing up to the White House and intense Saudi lobbying and overriding the veto of the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA), the Congressional leadership is already feverishly backtracking and promising to “fix” the bill in such a way as to placate Obama and the Saudis.
So it was all pure theater. Now, they are undoing what they all did, no? HAHAHA. The fix is in! The bill will be turned into a grandstand moment that has no teeth. Thank the DNC for this game.
The US vetoed a Security Council request that Saudi Arabia be investigated. Rights Groups Critical as UN Declines Inquiry Into Saudi Abuses in Yemen — the US got all NATO allies in the UN to vote for a Saudi vicious dictator person to be in charge of human rights there. Good lord! Talk about insane. But they did it very sneakily, the US media barely mentioned this and I learned about it overseas where I get 99% of my news these days.
‘Get Out!’: Free Syrian Army Burns US Flags to Protest American Soldiers: yes, these are the terrorists we support and love and we all have to hate the Russians who are successfully fighting Syrian terrorists.
US servicemen, accompanied by the members of the opposition Free Syrian Army (FSA), entered two Syrian towns: Mare and Azaz, located to the north of Aleppo.
They arrived to prepare attacks against Daesh positions in the northern parts of Aleppo, primarily to free al-Bab, which is a Syrian city in Aleppo Governorate.
However, their arrival didn’t go down very well with some of the FSA fighters. It is reported that about 100 FSA fighters staged a protest against the participation of US troops in the operation.
Israel has snuck into Syria to spread as much chaos as possible, their goal is to destroy Assad which is why our goal is identical: Fars news in Iran:Syrian Militants in Tumult after Israel Moves to Restructure Fatah Al-Sham Command in Quneitra
The Israeli spy agency has called Sheikh Assim Qassim, the Mufti of Fatah al-Sham (Nusra) Front in Jabat al-Khashab region and Taranja in the Northern parts of Quneitra, to order him a reshuffling of commanders in the region, Arab media sources said Wendesday.
The sources told the Arab media outlet that after Sheikh Qassim (who was once a judge of the terrorists’ Al-Sharia courts in Quneitra) informed the new commanders of Israel’s orders, the militants who have recently left the Dara’a fronts and joined Fatah al-Sham’s forces in Quneitra started angry protests, believing that they should also share a major role in the command structure.
The sources said chaotic situation in the region that has resulted from relevant disputes is about to break into an infighting among the ranks of the militants any moment.
The sources added that the Israeli spy agency decided to reshuffle the terrorist commanders in Quneitra following the failure of the Israel-led terrorist operations in Qab al-Ahmariya region dubbed as ‘Talaqi’ (aimed at linking Beit Jen in the Southwestern parts of Damascus to Quneitra and Israel) after the Syrian army and popular forces received intel about the plan and defused it.
And as the US media carries propaganda about how evil Russia is bombing people, as per usual, in between bombing hospitals over and over again, the US claims we were duped into airstrike that killed 22 Somali soldiers, local officials claim — RT News
Up to 22 Somali soldiers may have been killed by a suspected United States military airstrike in what local officials called a ruse orchestrated by rival regional authorities.
“The attack occurred at our army base, 30km east of this town and killed 22 soldiers, wounded 16 others and destroyed armored vehicles. US drones carried out the attack, but we believe that the Puntland security forces gave [the United States] wrong information,” said Galmudug region’s state security minister, Osman Issa Nor, as cited by Xinhua.
Once again, Putin tries to get the US to be sane again: US-Russian Cooperation in Syria Impossible Without Common Targets – Official
Nearly one year later, the United States and Russia planned to coordinate counterterrorism operations in Syria after a week of calm, as stipulated in a ceasefire accord US Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov consummated on September 9 in Geneva after marathon negotiations. Shortly after, however, the truce imploded after a series of violations and finger-pointing.
“Perhaps if they [United States and Russia] can implement an understanding on which parties not to fire on [in Syria], and then keep that agreement, it may then be possible to advance a further modicum of cooperation,” Zakheim explained.
While the United States and Russia agreed to exclude Daesh and al-Nusra Front from the ceasefire, Moscow has repeatedly called on Washington to ensure Syrian opposition fighters separate themselves from terrorists.
And this is what our stupid ‘war on terror’ has become: since it was based, day one, on total lies and war crimes against Iraq, it has spiraled into a pure hell where the US has allied with terrorists to attack various targets of great interest to Israel, destroying them.
In addition, the US encouraged the Saudis who attacked us on 9/11 to also attack innocent bystanders in Yemen. So with the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia all committing war crimes, where does that leave us? We should have some Nüremberg trials about all this but it won’t happen. This disaster is doomed to run all the way to the bitter end.
Our Real Rulers insist on this. Unless the US public finally revolts.

Russian FM Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova hit back at her US counterpart John Kirby, who warned that terrorist attacks may take place in Russia if the civil war continues in Syria. His remark sounds like a call to “get ’em,” she noted.
“Extremist groups will continue to exploit the vacuums that are there in Syria to expand their operations, which could include attacks against Russian interests, perhaps even Russian cities. Russia will continue to send troops home in body bags, and will continue to lose resources, perhaps even aircraft,” US State Department spokesperson John Kirby told reporters at Wednesday’s press briefing, adding that if the war in Syria continues “more Russian lives will be lost, more Russian aircraft will be shot down.”Kirby’s words didn’t go unnoticed by the Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson.
“And those [acts of terrorism] will be perpetrated by ‘moderate’ [Syrian opposition groups]?” Zakharova asked in her Facebook post. “Just the ones that Washington has been unable to separate from Al-Nusra for as long as six months?”
“[What about] Terrorist attacks in France, America and other countries; the beheadings of people of all nationalities by Islamic State militants in Syria – is this all kind of a different paradigm? Perhaps another ‘parallel reality?’“Don’t you think that such ventriloquism about ‘body bags,’ ‘terrorist attacks in Russian cities’ and ‘loss of aircraft,’ sounds more like a ‘get ’em’ command, rather than a diplomatic comment?” Zakharova concluded.

A lot of news there. I can’t feel sorry for Hillary and her health problems. I think about how Bill and she looted the Haiti fund, and those people never got any money to rebuild. Now a category 4 hurricane is bearing down on the Caribbean and people have no means of protectipn-and they are quite fearful.
May all those charity looters rot in hell.

It is quite frightening to see the world drifting towards WWlll thanks to the bellicose US elite who thirsts for blood and destruction, and the end to human kind. If they somehow think they will survive while the rest of the world perishes, they are much dumber than i expected.
Russian FM spokesperson issues a dire warning to the US empire: “Refusing diplomacy on Syria may result in full-scale war”
“Their (US) logic is — ‘why do we need diplomacy, UN, talks, international law, why do we need any commitments on the international arena, when there is power and the right of a powerful one, and there are our own national laws which may stand above other laws and be strengthened by methods of resolving a problem by power. We already know this logic, there is nothing new about it. It usually ends with one thing — a full-scale war,” she added.

@5 Nani
The Russians believe President Obama has lost control over the Pentagon, eg the Pentagon bombing the Syrian Army to torpedo the peace deal made by the White House over Syria because some elements there cannot accept the defeat of their plans for Syria and the region.
This situation is pretty telling on the theme of Imperial collapse. In the days of the decline of Rome the Legions began to go independent of the dictates from Rome and became self-serving. It seems a similar situation is developing in the US where there is no strong centralized leadership but many various factions pulling in their own direction (the US State Department, the CIA, the Pentagon etc.).
Here is a link from 2013 where the NYT shows the CIA’s (read Mossad’s) plan for the New Middle East. You can see that Turkey/NATO has invaded northern Syria where the NYT map has Kurdistan (Operation Euphrates Shield – typical Pentagon name).
Deir Ez-zor, where the US murdered the Syrian Arab Army infantrymen, is very much in the heart of what is called Sunnistan on the map. The presence of Syrian goverment troops there is a big problem, which is why the US bombed the Syrian forces on behalf of ISIS.
Recall that the military backbone of ISIS is the Sunni remnants of the Iraqi Army under Saddam that the US disbanded post-invasion. Saudi Arabia added the Wahhabi/Al Qaeda nutcases/cannon fodder and lots and lots of petrodollars for bribes and troop salaries. The US added weapons from Libya, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Romania and other East European countries plus training of the Jihadi nutcases by the Special Forces and CIA contractors. Turkey of course went all in with support in manpower, logistics, weaponry, bases, business deals and so on with the “jihadis” (which basically are a mafia network spanning tribal areas and hundreds of various groups each with their own little turf – that is the FSA, the very same people who are embedded with Western intelligence services and are trafficking refugees to Europe).
The reason, I believe, the US tried to get rid of Erdogan with the failed coup, is simply that he is virulently anti-Kurdish and will not stand for a free Kurdistan. The failure of the coup is a bit of a headache for the plan, since they now had to allow Erdogan to invade Syria to impose his own ideas on the northern part of Syria. Turkey has now in effect annexed Jarablus in northern Syria. The Turks are now, with US support, trying to convince the Kurds (the YPG) to join forces with the FSA and march on Raqqa, the ISIS stronghold further down south from Jarablus along the Euphrates.
Of course, ISIS is not the real target, the real target is the destruction of Syria and the balkanization according to the plan shown on the map.
Also note the Israel is operating and bombing in the areas of Syria that says Jabal al-Druze (Golan heights area – where Israel plans to steal plenty of oil in the near future).

Ok, the map didn’t come out right so you have to go to the link to see it properly.
Also note that after the article was written Saudi Arabia has attacked Yemen to split it apart along the lines of the map.
I have little doubt that when the time comes Saudi Arabia will be ripped apart too.
@Christian W,
Thank you for the updates and commentary.
EXCEPT FOR BLOW BACK!!! What is falling apart is the EU, not just the Middle East. And the EU is supposed to be the bulwark stopping Russia!!!
HAHAHA. Talk about stupid. I used to play the Japanese game GO and learned how it is all about territorial integrity as well as eliminating enemy soldiers. Our rulers and the Pentagon geniuses must be playing tiddly winks to prepare their minds for war.
Haha, I’ve been saying that for a while now.
Obie can’t figure out why all of Vlad’s winks look like horsies and castles and stuff.
sign of further deterioration in US-Russian relations:
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on Monday to suspend an agreement with the United States on disposing of weapons-grade plutonium, a further sign of worsening ties between the former Cold War foes.
The deal, which was signed in 2000 and went into force under a 2010 agreement, was being suspended due to “the emergence of a threat to strategic stability and as a result of unfriendly actions by the United States of America towards the Russian Federation”, the preamble to the decree said.
As he should. When in a face off Old West style, don’t throw away your gun.
