“Moscow and Damascus have always maintained they are against any form of partition or illegal foreign presence in Syria.”

Moscow has managed to maintain contacts with all parties in the conflict, even in spite of its stance against partition and illegal foreign presence. Trilateral talks between Iran, Turkey and Russia occurred in Astana at Moscow’s urging. Putin managed to bring together in Sochi the Syrian government and opposition groups to discuss the future of Syria. In Geneva, Moscow mediated between Damascus and the international community, shielding Syria from the diplomatic skulduggery of the US and other enemies of Syria.

Turkey, solely as a result of its defeat in Syria, now finds itself in active dialogue with Moscow and Tehran. As Ankara experiences worsening relations with Washington and other European capitals, Moscow saw a great opportunity to bring Turkey closer to Damascus.

Russia’s operation was complicated and required a lot of patience; but thanks to negotiations supervised by Russia, together with the bravery and courage of Syrian soldiers, almost all

Na rota das contra-revoluções "coloridas"

por Daniel Vaz de Carvalho*

 

As ações contra-revolucionarias do imperialismo que diretamente não usam meios militares, ditas por perverso eufemismo necessário à manipulação, "revoluções coloridas" levam-nos a colocar as clássicas questões do: "quem, como, quando, onde e porquê". É este o tema que nos propomos abordar. 

 

1 - QUEM
Não esqueço uma frase de um filme francês de 1958, que vi ainda adolescente, num cinema de bairro, intitulado "As grandes famílias" (segundo o romance homólogo de Maurice Druon). Num diálogo entre dois donos de uma fábrica, dizia um deles (Jean Gabin) para o irmão (Pierre Brasseur): "Eu sou de direita para defender os meus interesses, tu és de direita porque odeias os operários."

Esta frase, define muito de "quem" lidera e apoia, sobretudo financeiramente, movimentos contra-revolucionários. Para além destes juntam-se as massas do lumpen proletariado, os contaminados pelo anticomunismo, os que seduzidos pela propaganda da direita se revoltam contra o que

The Anglo-American Origins of Color Revolutions & NED

A few years ago, very few people understood the concept behind color revolutions.

Had Russia and China’s leadership not decided to unite in solidarity in 2012 when they began vetoing the overthrow of Bashar al Assad in Syria- followed by their alliance around the Belt and Road Initiative, then it is doubtful that the color revolution concept would be as well-known as it has become today.

At that time, Russia and China realized that they had no choice but to go on the counter offensive, since the regime change operations and colour revolutions orchestrated by such organizations as the CIA-affiliated National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and Soros Open Society Foundations were ultimately designed to target them as those rose, orange, green or yellow revolution efforts in Georgia, Ukraine, Iran or Hong Kong were always recognized as weak points on the periphery of the threatened formation of a great power alliance of sovereign Eurasian nations that would have the collective power to challenge the power of the Anglo-American elite based in London and Wall Street.

Russia’s 2015 expulsion of 12 major conduits of color revolution included Soros’ Open Society Foundation as well as the NED was

OS APROVEITADORES DA GUERRA E O FIM DO COMPLEXO MILITAR-INDUSTRIAL DOS EUA

No interior da vasta burocracia do Pentágono existe um grupo encarregado de monitorar o estado geral do complexo militar-industrial e a sua capacidade contínua de cumprir os requisitos da estratégia de defesa nacional. O gabinete para a aquisição e manutenção e o gabinete para a política industrial gastam cerca de US$100 mil por ano para produzir um Relatório Anual ao Congresso. Ele está disponível para o público em geral . Está disponível até para o público em geral e especialistas russos divertiram-se muito a examiná-lo.

De facto, o relatório encheu-os de optimismo. Como se sabe, a Rússia quer a paz mas os EUA parecem desejar a guerra e continuam a fazer gestos ameaçadores contra uma longa lista de países que se recusam a cumprir suas ordens ou simplesmente não compartilham seus "valores universais". Mas agora verifica-se que aquelas ameaças (e sanções económicas cada vez mais sem garra) são quase tudo o que os EUA ainda são capazes de oferecer – isto apesar dos níveis absolutamente astronómicos dos gastos com defesa. Vamos ver com o que parece o complexo militar-industrial dos EUA através de lentes russas.

É importante observar que os autores do relatório não pretendiam forçar legisladores a financiar algum projecto específico. Isso o torna mais valioso do que inúmeras outras fontes, cujo principal

União Europeia/Novos hierarcas não eleitos da UE darão continuidade à desordem actual

04/Julho/2019, Resistir.info https://www.resistir.info (Portugal) https://www.resistir.info/europa/escolhas_ue_03jun19.html

por John Laughland*

Apesar de tudo o que aconteceu na UE nos últimos cinco anos, os seus estados membros resolveram seleccionar quatro políticos que encarnam a continuidade total com todas as políticas que levaram a UE à desordem actual.

Nenhuma das recentes calamidades persuadiu o bloco a alterar, ainda que ligeiramente, a sua rota. Nem a ascensão de partidos anti-sistema na Itália, Alemanha, França, Finlândia e alhures. Nem a ascensão de forças [ditas] patrióticas na Polónia e na Hungria. E nem o Brexit, o qual em termos económicos é o equivalente à perda não de um estado membro mas sim de 20 – e que destruirá as actuais disposições orçamentais da UE.

Os quatro homens e mulheres cujas nomeações foram marteladas na terça-feira estão todos determinados a criar uns "Estados Unidos da Europa" (para citar a futura nova presidente da Comissão Europeia, Ursula von de Leyen) e portanto a prosseguir exactamente com a mesma integração europeia que está a provocar tanta tensão interna em estados membros da UE e suas instituições. Além disso, três dos quatro vêm dos estados nucleares da UE, os membros fundadores originais em 1951, sem nenhum da "nova Europa" no Leste ou no Centro da mesma. É como se, neste tempo de crise profunda, a UE quisesse retornar às suas fontes de cerca de 70 anos atrás, ao invés de

Tuesday, November 8, 2016 - 11:21, EDITORIAL DONi Donbass International News Agency https://dninews.com (Donbass)

The France 24 has made a fake reportage from the Donetsk People's Republic, and we have the factual material in DONi Donbass News Agency to prove the harsh distortion of reality about the conflict situation. The fabricated news in the western mainstream media is revealed by DONi correspondent Christelle Neant.

"After the German TV channel ZDF, which was caught the two hands in the cookie jar for a fake reportage, we thought that this kind of method would be not used any more after the TV channel reputation was damaged by this serious violation of the basic ethical rules of journalism. But no. Always further, always higher, especially in stupidity," says Neant,

NATO Continues to Prepare for War with Russia

NATO uses any pretext to accuse Russia of harboring aggressive intentions. It has raised ballyhoo over the recent deployment of Iskander short-range surface-to-surface ballistic missiles to the Kaliningrad region.

Time and time again, the alliance reaffirms its bogus Russia narrative. “We see more assertive and stronger Russia that is willing to use force,” concluded NATO General Secretary Jens Stoltenberg speaking at the round table in Passau, Bavaria on October 10.

At the same time, NATO is pushing ahead with its military "Schengen zone" in Europe.

A VERDADEIRA CRISE HUMANITÁRIA NÃO É ALEPO

24 outubro 2016, Odiário.info http://www.odiario.info (Portugal)

Paul Craig Roberts

Uma retrospectiva da intervenção dos EUA no Médio Oriente desde o 11 de Setembro mostra uma implacável marcha em direcção à trágica perspectiva hoje colocada: o confronto militar com a Rússia, a segunda maior potência nuclear. A previsível eleição de Hillary Clinton será um passo mais em direcção a essa catástrofe.

Porque será que apenas ouvimos falar da “crise humanitária em Alepo” e não da crise humanitária em todo o resto da Síria, onde a perversão que governa Washington desencadeou os seus mercenários do ISIS para trucidarem o povo sírio? Porque será que não ouvimos falar da crise humanitária no Iémen onde os EUA e o seu vassalo saudita estão a massacrar mulheres e crianças? Porque será que não ouvimos falar da crise humanitária na Líbia onde Washington destruiu um país deixando o caos em seu lugar? Porque será que não ouvimos falar na crise humanitária no Iraque, que já se arrasta há 13 anos, ou a crise humanitária no Afeganistão, que já vai em 15 anos?

A resposta é que a crise em Alepo é a crise de Washington estar a perder os seus mercenários do ISIS perante o exército sírio e a força aérea russa. Os jihadistas enviados por Obama e pela assassina criatura Hillary (“We came, we saw, he died”; “Viemos, vimos, ele morreu”) para destruir a Síria

Follow the money trail for source of 'Russian threat' paranoia/Sigam a pista do dinheiro para perceber a origem da “ameaça russa”

22 Aug, 2016, TV-Novosti https://www.rt.com (Russia)

You’d have to have been locked in a wardrobe if you live in the West not to have heard ominous phrases like ‘The Russian threat’, ‘Russian aggression in Europe’ and ‘Russia set to invade Poland/Estonia/ Ukraine/Finland’.

Certain people are trying to scare us witless about Russia and the ‘threat’ the country apparently poses. The hysteria reminds one to the build up to the Iraq war, when we were warned every day about the ‘threat’ of Saddam’s deadly WMDs, which - surprise, surprise - turned out not to exist.

Now, we can talk for hours about grand, highfalutin theories in the field of geopolitics and international relations in attempts to explain why this is happening.

But ‘follow the money’ trail is all we really have to do. Ask yourself who benefits financially from all this scaremongering and then

A Segunda Guerra Mundial resultou na conquista da Europa, não por Berlim e sim por Washington.

A conquista era certa mas não toda de uma vez. A conquista da Europa por Washington resultou do Plano Marshall; de temores do Exército Vermelho de Staline que levaram a Europa a confiar na protecção de Washington e a subordinar os militares europeus à NATO; da substituição da libra britânica como divisa de reserva mundial pelo US dólar e do longo processo de subordinação da soberania de países europeus individuais à União Europeia, uma iniciativa da CIA implementada por Washington a fim de controlar toda a Europa através do controle de apenas um governo irresponsável.
