US Media Shows Footage of Russian Airstrikes Passed Off as American
Nana's Commentary:
It
appears that everyone is rejoicing in Russia's efforts to cause the downfall of
"ISIS" which is ironically being call DAESH for some reason and it's
notable that the "ISIS" people hate that name and would rather be
called "IS" but that is not really the crux of this commentary.
Yes,
Russia has entered with flying colors, the so-called "War On Terror"
and supposedly that is a good thing but for some reason it does not feel good
at all. In fact, it is reminiscent of what happens when you exterminate
roaches. You may definitely get them out of your house or apartment, but they
migrate, pardon the pun, to the house next door, or the apartment above or
below, only to wait out their time for when they can return. We have seen this
throughout history over and over and over again. Where do these dissidents
actually go in the long run? Without justice there's no peace but is justice
merely the bombing of the militants? Can you actually "kill" them
all? Why do Militants exist in the first place? Drugged up, gunned up and
escaping poverty, these Mercenaries are of a certain ilk that cannot be
destroyed by bombing their predecessors. In fact, those they kill will become
heroes to their progeny.
We are
we so short sighted when it comes to resolving our differences that we impose
death and destruction instead of mediation and resolve? Why haven't those
countries that support the militants after seeing the damage come to an
agreement to cease and desist in propping them up? Do they have two faces? One
that appears to be against them militants and one that is hidden that supports
them because they help their imperial plans?
I do
think they have gotten in a little over their heads this time. This is not 50
years ago, 100 years ago. Technology has advance so much in the past 20 years
that for sure these folks can communicate quickly and with ease across wide
swaths of the planet and mobilize within days. Guerrilla warfare is second
nature to them. Boots on the ground is their clarion call. They are not flying
through the air with bombs and missiles and yet they are hard to exterminate.
Why is this? What do they want, and why do they fight so hard for it?
Am I
being too sensitive to think that these folks have families and loved ones? Am
I being to naive to think of the karmic and spiritual impact of killing
thousands more, destroying more territory and infrastructure and as one
journalist mentioned, hiking the price of oil? Is this what this is really all
about or has this "War On Terror" become a flashpoint for the whole
world to get a piece of the action, either for or against the terrorists.
Our
world and its global politics is in a shambles. It's a marriage made in hell,
where nobody really wins but that doesn't stop the fighting. And of course,
it's Russia's turn to avenge its demise in Afghanistan via the help, support
and assistance of the Mujahideen funded by the US. Shortly after which,
Russia's control over a large area and several countries came to a screeching
halt. Countries left the USSR and Russia was left weak and ineffectual in a
region in which it had reigned supreme for decades, posing as a Global power
and threat to the tiny US military might. Russia has done what the 33rd
Hexagram in the I Ching Oracle talks about. It retreated and gained in strength
so that it could come back even more powerful on the international scene and
take back control or at least gain some Western Allies.
How
ironic is that? Now the West is supporting Russia and while the US propaganda
machine and talking heads attempted to vilify Russia at every opportunity, the
fact that Russia has taken out more IS militants in a few months than the US
and its allies have done in 4 years is notable. It reminds me of how I would
tell my children (sons) to go clean up their room and hours later it looked
like nothing had been done, and yet I could go in there and within 30 minutes
get the job done.
In
essence, Russia has made the US and NATO look like chumps in this "War On
Terror." But is that a good thing?
I feel
very uneasy about this. Part of it has to do with the whole barbarism of war
and bombing and blowing shit up. But the other part has to do with the reign of
destruction and its impact on the ethereal level. That level that we cannot see
with our naked eye but that part of reality that tells us that we are all
connected. So every death and destruction and destitution and abandonment that
hits those folks hits us too even if we don't see it or experience it
personally. So I am wondering if drawing Russia into this, well I guess they
didn't exactly draw them in, Russia has had enough of the BS playing around and
supporting the militants and in fact, it is getting quite close to home and
affecting Russia's sovereignty and while other countries look the other way as
this occurs, Russia saw the shenanigans that the US and its allies pulled with
the Ukraine and that was a bit too much and taking things a bit too far.
As one
journalist mentioned, the US is not even part of that part of the world, so why
are they even meddling in the business of those people? The US considers itself
apart of the West but in actuality it is not. This explains the adage the US
and it's Western allies because quite frankly, the US is in North America and
pretty darned far from the European Nations. It cannot be part of the EU and
frankly Russia has more right to be.
Russia
is flexing its muscles, it is pulling away from the USD, it is forming a strong
alliance with Brazil and China, it supporting Syria and standing with it
against a gas pipeline going through its country to the West. It is
making a comeback!
Yet, it
feels ominous to me. I am not sure if Putin is NOT part of the NWO (which I
call the Old World Order with a New Face). I am not sure if this new presence
of Russia on the scene is going to bring these terroristic threats and
creations of terroristic threats to a close or if, like roaches, they will
simply escape to a quiet arena and begin strategizing for their next assault.
Will the US and the 40 other nations that have been funding IS and other groups
simply stop and give up their plan for world hegemony or will they devise
another plan, create an alternative, design another scare to strike fear into
the heart of the masses. Is it now time for the so-called "Last Card"
the "Alien Threat?"
Although
Putin is doing the "Job" in Syria, I am reticent to applaud it.
Personally, I cannot imagine living somewhere that has been bombed tens of
thousands of times!!! Maybe if Putin works with his allies to help rebuild
Syria so that the Syrian people can come back home, I may feel a little better
about this, but I am having a hard time adjusting to this level of violence and
seeing it as a good thing.

Topic:
PBS NewsHour, a daily US television news program shown on the US
Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), used footage of Russian airstrikes against
ISIL targets, claiming that they were US airstrikes, an Information Clearing
House article revealed.
Earlier
this week, the US government said it would intensify anti-ISIL airstrikes and
bomb the terrorist organization's oil infrastructure, which is ISIL's primary
source of income.
After
that, on November 16, the US military said it destroyed 116 trucks
carrying illegal oil in ISIL-controlled territories.
"On
Monday, 295 trucks were in the area, and more than a third
of them were destroyed, United States officials said. The A-10s dropped
two dozen 500-pound bombs and conducted strafing runs with 30-millimeter
Gatling guns. The AC-130s attacked with 30-millimeter Gatling guns and
105-millimeter cannons," the New York Times colorfully described the US
military operation that allegedly took place on November 16.
Well,
it sure sounded like a major anti-ISIL operation in the wake
of the Paris attacks. But so far, these are just claims, not backed
by any evidence.
Two
days later, on November 18, the Russian Air Force destroyed 500 oil trucks
that had been illegally transporting oil from ISIS-controlled territories.
Unlike the US Air Force, which didn't provide
any video evidence from their alleged operation, the Russian Defense
Ministry promptly released videos of what exactly happened
to terrorists and how the operation unfolded.
On November 19, PBS NewsHour ran a program on ISIL and "showed" how their oil trucks were
destroyed by US airstrikes.
It's
all fine and dandy, but the US public broadcaster used the footage
of Russian airstrikes, passing them off as US airstrikes,
without revealing the true source.
"For the first time the US is attacking
oil delivery trucks," the voice-over said between 2:30 — 2:35,
while showing a clip of exactly the same video published by the
Russian Defense Ministry the day before.
The PBS
shows footage of Russian airstrikes against ISIL targets, passing them off as
US airstrikes. The
PBS program neither mentioned the Russian military operation nor revealed the
source of the footage.
What
the US channel did was just outright lying, because millions of viewers
would certainly think the video footage showing the explosions of oil
trucks was from US airstrikes about which the New York Times ran an
article on Monday.
About 500
terrorists' fuel trucks that had been illegally transporting oil
from Syria to Iraq were destroyed by Russian aviation in a
few days, Col. Gen. Andrei Kartapolov, Chief of the Main Operational
Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, said.
"Just
in the first few days, [Russian] aviation destroyed about 500 fuel
tankers. This greatly hampered the militants' possibility to illegally
export energy resources and, accordingly, their income from oil
smuggling."
