Connections Between Historical Events: Syria’s Regime Collapse and American CEO’s Assassination

Connections Between Historical Events: Syria's Regime Collapse and American CEO's AssassinationCharles Hugh Smith – History is either “one damned thing after another”–a chaotic collection of random events–or there are connections between events that are not readily visible. The study of history includes both rooting around for more factual evidence to aid our understanding, and interpreting what is known–both the factual evidence and what people living at that time described and thought was happening.

Two recent events invite interpretation: the sudden collapse of Syria’s regime and the assassination of an American CEO in America’s financial capital. These can be viewed as unique one-off events of little future import or they can be viewed as watershed events, harbingers of a future far different than the present. Continue reading

Armageddon is not turning out quite as Gog and Magog planned

Katherine Frisk – For the last couple of years the media has been full of stories about the “end times” scenario and trying to put it into a Zionist framework with the restoration and the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem. This program has included the destruction of both the Christian and the Muslims quarters and their places of worship in both the old and the new city.

The only problem is that the “end times” is not a Jewish story, it is a Christian story predicted in Revelation. It is also a Shiite Islamic story where the Mahdi will join with Jesus during the second coming and defeat the anti-Christ. Continue reading

ABC Admits To Using Fake Footage That Pushes Deep State Pro-War Agenda In Syria

Richard Enos – It’s almost as though they’re doing it on purpose now. And I’m not altogether sure they aren’t–like the cheating husband who, deep down, wants his wife to find out about his affair.

On the heels of a video from a hidden camera exposing CNN’s blatant political agenda bias, which we just covered on CETV and in our article ‘CNN’s Political Bias Exposed By Whistleblower’s Hidden Camera Footage,’ we are beset with another prime and frankly astonishing example of the lengths to which the mainstream media will go to push their designated political agenda.

In this case, we are looking at Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw about 1000 U. S. troops from Syria, which was met with widespread condemnation. Trump has slowly been building the argument that it’s time to finish these endless wars, it’s time for our troops to come home, and he has even started to float out the policy narrative that the U. S. army does not belong in the Middle East.

President Trump: I Will End New World Order’s ‘Endless Wars’

trumpSean Adl-Tabatabai – President Donald Trump has doubled down on his promise to withdraw U.S. troops from conflicts abroad, vowing to end the New World Order’s dominance in the Middle East.

“I inherited a total mess in Syria and Afghanistan, the ‘Endless Wars’ of unlimited spending and death,”Trump wrote on Twitter, reiterating his campaign promise.

Breitbart.com reports: The president reminded Americans that they were spending $50 billion a year in Afghanistan, but he noted that peace talks were on the table.

“It is now time to start coming home and, after many years, spending our money wisely,” Trump said. “Certain people must get smart!” Continue reading

Endless War Has Been Normalized And Everyone Is Crazy

militaryCaitlin Johnstone – Since I last wrote about the bipartisan shrieking, hysterical reaction to Trump’s planned military withdrawal from Syria the other day, it hasn’t gotten better, it’s gotten worse. I’m having a hard time even picking out individual bits of the collective freakout from the political/media class to point at, because doing so would diminish the frenetic white noise of the paranoid, conspiratorial, fearmongering establishment reaction to the possibility of a few thousands troops being pulled back from a territory they were illegally occupying.

Endless war and military expansionism has become so normalized in establishment thought that even a slight scale-down is treated as something abnormal and shocking. The talking heads of the corporate state media had been almost entirely ignoring the buildup of US troops in Syria and the operations they’ve been carrying out there, but as soon as the possibility of those troops leaving emerged, all the alarm bells started ringing.
