More than a dozen U.S.-backed Syrian and Iraqi Kurdish fighters were killed in a series of airstrikes carried out by Turkish jets, two American defense officials confirmed to Fox News.

Both officials said there were no U.S. troops among the fighters who were hit.

“This is very serious,” said one outraged U.S. official.

Earlier this month, U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis hosted his Turkish counterpart, Fikri Isik, at the Pentagon for talks about the upcoming Raqqa offensive in Syria.

Both secretaries ignored a question from a reporter about the role Kurds would play in that operation.

“This is very serious.” – U.S. defense official

There are currently about 1,000 U.S. troops on the ground in Syria. In March, 400 Marines deployed to Syria as part of an artillery battery to support U.S.-backed troops fighting around Raqqa.

Last week, Fox News reported ISIS leaders and hundreds of “bureaucrats” had been seen by U.S. military drones fleeing the terror group’s so-called capital during the past two months and heading to the Syrian city of Deir ez-Zor, located 90 miles southeast of Raqqa. Some also fled to al-Mayadin, further down the Euphrates River and the location where U.S. special operations forces killed a mid-level associate of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi late last week.

The U.S. views the Syrian-Kurdish People’s Protection Units, known as the YPG, as key allies in the fight against ISIS. Turkey views the group as an extension of the Kurdistan Worker’s Party, or PKK, a Turkish insurgent group that has conducted a decades long insurgency that’s killed thousands. Both Ankara and Washington consider the PKK a terrorist organization.

[ONCE AGAIN, THE FOLLOWERS OF HAKEEMULLAH MEHSUD (CALLING THEMSELVES ISIS) HAVE STRUCK CIA BASE CHAPMAN IN REVENGE FOR A PRIOR BOMBING…THIS TIME FOR BOMBING AT ACHIN…THE LAST TIME FOR KILLING BAITULLAH MEHSUD.]

Bomb attack hits U.S. base in eastern Afghanistan

Suspected Taliban insurgents on Monday attacked a U.S.-operated base in Afghanistan’s eastern province of Khost, officials said, but gave few immediate details of an assault that coincided with a visit to Kabul by U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis.

The attackers had detonated a car bomb at an entrance to Camp Chapman, a secretive facility manned by U.S. forces and private military contractors, said Mubarez Mohammad Zadran, a spokesman for the provincial governor.

But he had little immediate information on any damage or casualties.

“I am aware of a car bomb attack at one of the gates in the U.S. base, but we are not allowed there to get more details,” the spokesman said.

A spokesman for the U.S. military in Afghanistan, Capt. William Salvin, confirmed the car bomb attack. He said there appeared to be a number of Afghan casualties but none among U.S. or coalition personnel at the base.

The attack came just three days after more than 140 Afghan soldiers were killed in an attack on their base by Taliban fighters disguised in military uniforms.

The Predictable Sunni Islamist Terrorist Path in Europe–PC Collateral Damage

Modern Tokyo Times

Sunni Islamist terrorism is a daily reality for Shia Muslims in several nations based on the Takfiri mindset that deems all and sundry to be either an apostate or that non-Muslims are infidels and worthy of killing. Europe is now witnessing the growing reality of Sunni Islamist terrorism, while the intrigues of the Muslim Brotherhood hope to utilise the naivety of certain European nations that are tolerating a major influx of migrants. After all, Gulf petrodollars and Takfiri versions of Islam are penetrating past indigenous Sunni Muslim traditions in Europe, thereby in some cities in Europe, it is noticeable that dress codes and mindsets are changing.

Indeed, this Salafi mindset is altering the dynamics of traditional Sunni Muslim forces in Indonesia and Malaysia respectively in Asia. Similarly, indigenous Sunni Muslim traditions in nations like the Cameroon and Nigeria (Christianity is a major force in both nations) are being supplanted by Sunni Islamist radicalism, emanating from Gulf Takfiri traditions and militancy in nations like Sudan. Therefore, it is essential for Europe to wake up because the politically correct mantra of “we are open, liberal, democratic, and united” is wearing thin.

In recent times the sword of Sunni Islamism is growing in visibility based on terrorist attacks in Berlin, Brussels, London, Nice, Paris, St Petersburg, and Stockholm. This follows on from past terrorist attacks from the same forces in Beslan, London, Madrid, Moscow, and others. However, the real and more threatening “ticking bomb” is happening in certain major cities in Europe where Sunni Islamist Sharia is ruling by stealth and the demographic balance is shifting quickly.

Of course, for the current Pope and the politically correct ruling elites, it appears that European victims to terrorism are nothing more than collateral damage. The same obviously applies to abusing taxpayers money on the politically correct agenda, the growing reality of higher crime, communities becoming more divided, the welfare state facing economic shortages, and a religious Sunni Islamist ideology that is focused on supplanting older European traditions.

In the latest terrorist attack in Stockholm that killed 4 people and injured many, it soon emerged that the same Sunni Islamist path happened once more. Like usual, the apologists will gloss over reality and adorable speeches will say, “We are all one and united.” However, this is an utter fallacy because in the cradle of Sunni Islam in Saudi Arabia not one Buddhist temple or Christian church is tolerated. Indeed, if a non-Muslim male desired to marry a Saudi Muslim female they would face prison or death in accordance with Islamic Sharia law. Despite this, the self-induced dhimmis in Canterbury and Rome will ignore this reality and the same applies to the politically correct that turn “a blind eye.”

Turning back to the latest terrorist attack in Europe that hit Stockholm, then Reuters reports, “A 39-year-old Uzbek man being held in custody is the suspected driver of a hijacked beer delivery truck that plowed into crowds in central Stockholm, killing four people and wounding 15 in an apparent terror attack, police said on Saturday.”

Overall, it appears that Europeans are nothing more than fodder for Sunni Islamist terrorists based on the deluded egos of the politically correct. This applies to politicians, the mantra of the politically correct media circus, the educational sector, and other important areas ruled by the ruling elites. Therefore, not only will more terrorist attacks continue in Europe – and gradual Sunni Islamization will take hold in certain parts of major cities – but also the ruling elites will still not tackle the reality of Sunni Islamism. After all, the followers of Buddhism, Hinduism, the Shia faith, Sikhism, and other faiths impacting more on modern Europe, aren’t going around and killing people in the name of any other faith.

Zero Evidence Required For American Wars of Aggression

Posted on April 25, 2017 by therearenosunglasses

The Zero Evidence World of US Criminal Misleaders

For decades now, the US political & military ruling class have offered zero evidence and flimsy pretexts to invade, attack and conduct mass murder. You want evidence? Here: have a big fat zero.

Zero evidence

is required for the global bully, the US military, to do what it wants, when it wants, to whomever it wants. US political and military leaders (or as I prefer to call them, political and military misleaders) have one law – we do whatever the f*ck we want – in line with the black magic of Aleister Crowley, who declared that “do what thou wilt” was the whole of his law. The recent Trump Syria strike has taken their aggressive and criminal lawlessness to yet another level. Trump didn’t either bother to ask Congress for permission to attack another country, nor to put a case forward at the UN, nor to submit it to the scrutiny of international law, nor apparently to check with anyone except his own cadre of hawkish generals, Zionists and billionaires. Along with zero evidence, the US usually proffers pretexts such as “WMDs”, “chemical weapons” or simply just “he’s a dictator killing is own people”, all of which turn out to be lies to cover up the fact they have zero evidence. This phenomenon has been going on for literally decades. When is the international community going to stand up to the US and demand that enough is enough?

The Zero Evidence Phenomenon in Past US Aggressions

The history of USA aggression against other sovereign nations is egregious and long. Ever since the end of World War II, the US has taken it upon itself to be the world policeman – except it’s really the bandit posing as the sheriff, the tyrant posing as the protector and the violent terrorist posing as the righteous commander. Former US government official William Blum (who worked in the Department of State) and Dr. Zoltan Grossman have compiled lists of the 70+ nations which the US has messed with and attacked, by way of at least one of the following: foreign meddling & intervention, subversion, regime change, assassination, military strike or invasion. Here is a partial list of attacked nations up until 1999:

“China 1945-49, Italy 1947-48, Greece 1947-49, Philippines 1945-53, South Korea 1945-53, Albania 1949-53, Germany 1950s, Iran 1953, Guatemala 1953-1990s, Middle East 1956-58, Indonesia 1957-58, British Guiana/Guyana 1953-64, Vietnam 1950-73, Cambodia 1955-73, The Congo/Zaire 1960-65, Brazil 1961-64, Dominican Republic 1963-66, Cuba 1959-present, Indonesia 1965, Chile 1964-7, Greece 1964-74, East Timor, 1975-present, Nicaragua 1978-89, Grenada 1979-84, Libya 1981-89, Panama 1989, Iraq 1990s, Afghanistan 1979-92, El Salvador 1980-92, Haiti 1987-94, Yugoslavia 1999”

Since 2000, the following countries have been a victim of US aggression in one form or another:

“Afghanistan 2001-present, Yemen 2002, Philippines 2002-?, Colombia 2003-?, Iraq 2003-present, Liberia 2003, Haiti 2004-5, Pakistan 2005-?, Somalia 2006-?, Syria 2008-present, Yemen 2009, Libya 2011-present”

These lists are incomplete. There are more nations that have suffered US aggression which are not on these lists. Every single nation in the world has to either kowtow to the US, befriend it and fight alongside it in its stupid, ugly and violent wars, and submit to allowing US military bases on its sovereign soil – or else be aligned against it, be branded a “rogue state” by the MSM and live in constant fear that the US and its cronies will one day invade (a realistic and even probable outcome). There doesn’t seem to be much middle ground.

How exactly is this not world conquest? How exactly is the US not a sprawling empire which does whatever it wants, puts its military bases wherever it wants and invades whomever it wants? It’s an Empire, not a Republic. The republic has been dead for a long time now. The US is run by the New World Order – and they want it all. All.

US aggression has been relentless and unstoppable ever since the end of WWII.

Some Particularly Egregious Examples of Zero Evidence

Some appalling and atrocious examples of this “we do whatever we want” US foreign policy include the Vietnam War, which was started by the zero evidence Gulf of Tonkin incident (a false flag op of course), where there was literally zero evidence because there were literally zero Vietnamese ships involved. The US ships shot at empty space on the ocean and claimed they were being attacked! Then, in the false flag event of the millennium (9/11) there was zero evidence that Bin Laden ever did it, as the FBI tacitly admitted by not charging him with any crime. In the aftermath of 9/11, we were blessed with the wonderful and fake War on Terror™ (dreamt up by Zionist and neocon think tanks, including mass murderer and Israeli misleader Benjamin Netanyahu).

With the masses bamboozled by the neverending and impossible-to-win War on Terror, US misleader Colin Powell stepped up to the UN with zero evidence (in the form of a vial of powder) in support of invading a sovereign nation (Iraq). This time around the lie was WMDs. Later on in 2011, US misleader Obama stepped up to claim that a “dictator” (i.e. a legitimate leader named Gaddafi) was “killing his own people” (despite the fact that Libyans had a higher standard of living than all its surrounding neighbor nations in Africa). Thanks to the US and NATO invasion, Libya has become a hotbed of mayhem, terrorism, civil war and even now a center of slave trading. The truth is that it was only invaded because its leader stood up to US hegemony and tried to go against the petrodollar, but you wouldn’t know it if you listened to the MSM and the NGOs of George Soros (like Avaaz) who screamed for humanitarian intervention (aggressive invasion with no lawful basis under the pretext of saving innocent lives). Then in 2013, US misleader Obama again stepped up to claim that another “dictator” (i.e. an elected leader named Assad) was killing his own people with “chemical weapons” (despite the fact that UN investigators found zero evidence to back up this claim and instead found evidence that it was the US-backed rebels using them).

Above: exactly this much evidence.

“Proof At a Distance”

Fast forward to 2017, and we have a different puppet in the White House, but the zero evidence phenomenon, and US military psychopathy, remain the same. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who like Vladimir Putin, has shown himself to be very level headed in face of extreme and repeated US-UK-Israeli-NATO provocation, talked about the zero evidence phenomenon at a recent press conference where he was discussing the Syria matter with his US counterpart Rex Tillerson, US Secretary of State. Lavrov said:

” … accusations that are being made in respect to the Syrian government, come exclusively from those who have ‘proof at a distance’ … Another example, another dictator: Saddam Hussein, who was hanged after an invasion. We all know how it ended. I think Tony Blair said publicly that the while thing was a fake. All the reasons behind the invasions of Iraq … So experiments of these sorts, based on an obsession wth some kind of dictator, regime change of a totalitarian or authoritarian leader – we have already seen. We know all too well how it ends. Positive examples, when a dictator was removed and then everything went great – I don’t recall. If they exist, I would be grateful if you would let me know.”

One has to wonder how much longer the blatant warmongering and aggression can go on before enough people wake up to it. How much longer will the US military (tool of the international banksters and the New World Order) be able to literally get away with murder by offering zero evidence and flimsy pretexts? Will enough nations in the international community, as well as enough Americans themselves, stand up to the bullying American political and military leadership and force these tyrants to look in the mirror, so they can see themselves for the lying psychopaths that they are?
