Syria! Enough to make you cry. (2)

CNN’s Kate Bolduan sheds overcome while reporting little boy who survived bomb in Syria.

Why this? Why now?

The London Times quotes the Chicago-based Syrian-American surgeon Samer Attar as saying, ""The attitude of the doctors in Aleppo is ' We see this every day. Why arn't people paying attention? Why now are you caring?' They have been screaming and pleading with the world. They are truly abandoned."

The picture from Aleppo (above) has gone viral in the media. It has been actively promoted by virtually all world outlets, often accompanied as did CNN by announcer tears. There is no doubt it is a powerful image of the disastrous humanitarian consequences of warfare and its weapons. It is impossible not to feel sympathy for the child, despair for Syria and even hatred for those that cause it.

In this case (rather conveniently some might think) the accusative finger is being pointed at the Russians that everyone seems to agree have been very effective at crushing the Sunni ISIS extremists. The complication arises from the fact that in this area, the West prefers to regard them as "moderate freedom fighters from the tyrannical reign of Bashad Assad" (see below) 

Herein lies part of the problem, the people of the West are not told the truth regarding the conflict in Syria. Indeed they are positively kept in the dark. I would suggest that those who truly understand the Syrian conflict could be counted on the fingers of the hand and I am not one of them. This and the previous experience of clearly unreliable video, must make us wary of the true purpose of this latest output.

This unemotional and objective approach should not lessen by one iota, our concern and sympathy for the innocent civilians, including innumerable children such as Omran, caught up in this horrendous conflict. However, nor should we be easily manipulated by those with a specific agenda.

The Image of Omran Daqneesh

From the Guardian here: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/aug/18/i-filmed-the-syrian-boy-pulled-from-the-rubble-his-wasnt-a-rare-case 

Omran Daqneesh "the five-year-old had been rescued from the rubble of his home in the rebel-held Aleppo neighbourhood of Qaterji after a government airstrike. His emergence from the debris was captured by local journalists who filmed the rescue, and the ordeal of the boy and his family. The pictures were broadcast around the world on Thursday as a symbol of the unrelenting, indiscriminate suffering of Syria’s civilians."

“I’ve seen so many children rescued out of the rubble, but this child, with his innocence, he had no clue what was going on,” said Mustafa al-Sarout, an Aleppo-based journalist who filmed the video that has now gone viral on social media. 

“He put his hand on his face and saw blood. He didn’t know even what happened to him. I’ve photographed a lot of airstrikes in Aleppo, but there was so much there in his face, the blood and the dust mixed, at that age.”

However the Times representative (19.8.2016) Tom Coghlan in Beirut reports it was a different person who took the photograph. He writes: "Mahmood Raslan, the photo journalist who took the image, said: 'We were passing them from one balcony to another.' he said that he had passed along three lifeless bodies before Omran was handed to him."

So we appear to have (at least) two different people claiming authorship of the telling photograph - Mustafa al Sarout and Mahmood Raslan. Did they both take a photograph of the same scene or is one of the claims unreliable?


In both instances you will notice they are attached to a detailed and moving description to afford them additional credibility. The second story does I have to admit raise a few questions in my mind for it would appear to suggest that he physically carried the child from the scene whilst still rescuing others in a human chain and accompanied the child to the ambulance, whereas it can be clearly seen in the video at the top of the article, that the person who carries the child there has no camera. However two people are shown filming which with person who filmed the video, makes three at least, so this may explain in part the two newspaper sources - but not the accompanying accounts.

Who are the claimed photo journalists Mustafa al Sarout and Mahmood Raslan?

two little boys in Aleppo and what the corporate media don’t want you to see

Images of little Omran Daqneesh dazed and covered in dust and blood reminded us again of the horrors of war, however the mainstream media outlets who featured the video as their headline story, told us very little about its source, a man named Mahmoud Raslan (also Rslan). Had they dug just a little deeper, they would have quickly uncovered something immeasurably more horrific and sinister.

Here is Mahmoud Raslan standing in front of a tank captured by ‘the rebels’ in the Ramouseh district of Aleppo:

Below we find Raslan featured within a montage of four images. Top left, he is again the main subject of a selfie but standing in front of a different group of ‘rebel’ fighters taken from his Facebook page – these same friends are also seen in the adjacent image with arrows indicating who is who (I will come back to that in a moment). Bottom left, we find Raslan wearing his distinctive blue and white shirt, as he is in the accompanying photo (bottom right) which reveals him in the act of filming little Omran Daqneesh.





Now let’s return to the image above again (top right) which is a single frame captured from a ‘rebel’ video. It shows Raslan’s friends sitting in the back of a truck next to another little boy (his face blanked). This second boy is a 12 year old Palestinian child named Abdullah Tayseer Al Issa. Abdullah is about to be slowly decapitated with a knife. 1 The perpetrators of this sickening crime are the CIA-backed Nour al-Din al-Zinki Movement, a faction affiliated to the so-called Free Syrian Army (FSA). 2

From: https://off-guardian.org/2016/08/19/an-id-for-mahmoud-raslan/:

"So, the alleged event the MSM are doing their best to make a catalyst for more Western intervention in Syria, was filmed by friends of al Nusra, and its chief witness seems to be an associate of the worst and most depraved murderers in the region.

Is there any independent confirmation that this video [of Omran Daqneesh] is showing what it claims to show? Do we positively know the little boy was hurt by a bomb and not by any of his handlers?

Maybe those misguided people currently chiding and insulting us for daring to question the video should turn their attention to the real issues here. The boy in the video is fortunately alive. The one beheaded by Mahmoud Raslan’s chums is not. If your outrage is real and not feigned – turn it where it deserves to be. 3"

A search for Mahmood Raslan on 'Linkedin' provides a 'student' in Syria from 2011 to 2016 (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mahmood-raslan-31b6a685). Also the Aleppo based person who's facebook page is cited at the base of this article. He has this image (and others) on it but none of little Omran as far as I can see, which is surprising if he is the author of it.

From his April Twitter we have this in translation from the Arabic, 

"Before you get out of your House. Before your children. Say goodbye to your loved ones and friends. And reconcile with you antagonize. You might not come back. You draft a martyr."

Aleppo doctor: 'Shedding tears for the injured children of Syria is not enough'

When you do a Google search for images of the journalist Mustafa al-Sarout, what you get are these of the Syrian footballer Abdul Baset Al-Sarout, who is almost a rebellion icon and has recently made clear he is an ISIS fighter opposed to Assad. The obvious question of course is, are they related or directly connected?

Despite the fact that the image and story have brought Mustafa al-Sarout sudden and unexpected fame, very little of a biographical nature can be found out about him so we should not necessarily jump to conclusions. Wikipedia tells us that all four brothers of Abdul Baset Al Sarout have been killed in the fighting, so that would clearly appear to rule out a sibling.

The Role of Abdul Basset Sarout

In this article (2) Sean Ongley just over a year ago claimed that Abdul Basset Sarout was alive and well and "probably in northern Syria. He says,  "activist and refugee, Aboud Dandachi, confirmed that the former athlete now bonafide revolutionary fights with Faylak Homs, a grassroots brigade that simply means “Homs Legion,” somewhere in northern Homs, most likely the Rastan area." 

It is therefore quite possible, that he is now in Aleppo, even that he has changed his name and activity.

Ongley adds this assessment of him: 

"Those close to Homs regard him as someone mostly unrelated to any outside agents. His fighters are not on the known CIA-approved list of moderate rebels, yet they aren’t strictly Islamist. His character has always appeared to be too loyal to blood and soil for the Islamic State, al-Nusra or any strictly Islamist militia. This loyalty may come at a fault." 

This has proved incorrect as apparently he has sworn allegiance to ISIS since the article was written.

The Syrian uprising started in Homs and was where Sarout and many others became radicalised and active. For example as early as 2013 the Wall Street Journal reported:

“Foreigners fighting with an offshoot of al Qaeda in Iraq—called the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, or ISIS—led the capture of the Minigh air base north of Aleppo early Tuesday, according to local activists and some rebel commanders. The seizure offers Syria’s rebels a strategic victory after eight months of failed advances on the base.”

Ongley meanwhile writes: 

Aboud Dandachi, working for The Daily Sabah, describes very well the emotional experience he went through as he moved from a position of non-interference to activism.

"The event that had suddenly and so jarringly finally gotten me off the fence was the massacre by the regime’s security forces of a large scale demonstration being held at the time in the very center of Homs."

It was that fateful massacre in April of 2011 that ignited civil war, and Homs was ground zero. He was still in Homs when Basset’s family was massacred by Assad’s agents. Dandachi watched from the sidelines as Basset took sides and took up weapons, but only one of them would stay for the fight. He never took up arms and lives as a refugee residing in Istanbul today."

He adds, a position I agree with, "Although we call it the Syrian Civil War, at this point it looks much more like the first ever World Proxy War, where nations all over the globe are tossing chips into the game. Sadly, in geopolitics, the people of Syria, including Basset, are just pawns."

As an update he adds that in May 2016 Basset was in Turkey making a film. We know that Turkey has actively supported the 'freedom fighters' in northern Syria, who have shot down Russian aircraft so it appears that Basset is protected by Turkey. Clearly he managed to escape Homs despite the Government stranglehold, some time after the 2014 siege. How all this changes with the arguably American/Israeli inspired attempted coup and subsequent raproachment with Russia and Iran, awaits to be seen but it is in this context that the current viral images must be seen.

Biography: Abdul Baset Al-Sarout or Abdelbasset Saroot is a Syrian association football goalkeeper. He has represented Syria at U-17 and U-20 level. He is thought to be a leader of the Syrian rebels in Homs. He is a vocal supporter of the rebels in Syria. The Arab-speaking media network Al Jazeera have described him as a "well known icon in the Syrian uprising". All four of his brothers were killed by Syrian security forces. His uncle, Mohe Edden Al-Sarout was killed during November 2011 in Homs. Sarout reportedly kissed a murdered 19 year old protestor's bloody head whilst a crowd chanted to the beat of a drum "Sleep easy we will continue the struggle... mothers weep for Syria's youth" Al-Sarout is thought to have survived at least three assassination attempts. In May 2014 he stated in a video he has the same goal as Al-Nusra and ISIS. Show Less

Here's another image of him:

http://alchetron.com/Abdul-Baset-Al-Sarout-392380-W#demo

Here we see him enthusing ISIS fighters in Homs subsequently taken back by West supported Kurdish forces:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=82&v=KFkyPnVD_pE

In it he makes clear he is fighting in support of Omar and Abu Bakr. (It seems in Sunni iconography, Abu Bakr was to be the first successor, and Umar and Uthman were to be the second and the third successors of Muhammad. ) Oh the tenacity of tradition and its present implication for peace and stability! In the opinion of one: "Countless Muslims were killed in their countless wars which were fought only because there was no apparatus for peaceful transfer of power from one ruler to another."(1) and it still continues.

Another shows him exhaused and drained by battle:

http://alchetron.com/Abdul-Baset-Al-Sarout-392380-W#-

And another holding a heavy duty weapon:

Here is an image of him taken from a Twitter feed in which he apparently swears allegiance to ISIS. Perhaps it is worth noting the clear western origins of the fatigues and T-shirt worn by his unidentified companion whilst he appears to have adopted the obligatory ISIS black traditional Arab dress code. Confusingly this pre-dates the article by Ongley discussed above by about seven months so which to believe? Or is it all just fabricated propaganda by those that control these things? 'ISIS fundamentalist extremist' or 'Syrian Freedom Fighter', you decide.

The Role of 'Eretz Zen'

In this video he is seen warning humanitarian efforts to supply Homs in January 2014:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HB18VdRKays  This comes from the Syrian Eretz Zen Channel a still of which is here:

Its You Tube Channel is here: https://www.youtube.com/user/EretzZen It is hard to detect what its position is, although it appears to be pro-Israel and anti-ISIS but is this all part of the ruse to increase the fear and antpathy towards that organisation? It posts a 2014 BBC interview with a thirteen year old alleged recruit in souther Turkey. The mother states that ISIS was good to them though her assurance that she would be proud if he was killed hardly appears convincing. (See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJYeZkXdZAU) Amidst all the killing and conflict it is very hard to segregate fact from intentional propaganda for one side or another.

In December 2014 it provides footage of Israeli Fighter Jets Bombing or flying over  al-Dimas and Area next to Damascus International  Airport here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OznteXryltY There is some discussion if it is what it purports to be or "100% bullshit israeli crap."

However 21st Wire had this special report that also listed all Israeli actions over Syria.

"Israeli warplanes hit two separate areas near Syria’s capital of Damascus yesterday, including a facility at the city’s international airport. This latest attack reveals a pattern of involvement which spells out Tel Aviv’s role in the destabilzation of Syria, which includes providing intelligene, air support, arms, and medical assistance – to Islamic insurgents inside Syria." (3)

Another Eretz Zen site is here: http://note.taable.com/feed/Eretz-Zen-Channel-Syria-News/2next_213BCC_187619314736127-yFKnR8pGQEuJW7YVwqxp3tiamqg$1416777379@enc_AdDPYw3ed013S1gmdGrnZBNZB1XfESWz7Igm9pueZCobcLI9uAAx7dKZBDeKW3oeSXtgo15oUwhNpAymuIgBnUpYBzBcLXJRKIzS83P3MUnsdFiJ6gZDZD

Then there is this Eretz Zen source material affording substantive proof of American sreation and support of ISIS: http://www.ascertainthetruth.com/att/index.php/al-islam-a-terrorism/intl-qwar-on-terrorq/1391-isis-as-u-s-creation-the-clearest-evidence-to-date

So after all of this, I am unable to tell who is actually behind Eretz Zen or where it is actually coming from but it clearly has unobstructed access to those fighting on the behalf of ISIS yet seeks a counter narrative of Israeli aggression and American double dealing. Is it actually a Jewish counter-information or something genuinely Syrian supportive of the Assad regime. Honestly I can't tell as no definitive background information appears to be available.

Direct Evidence of American ISIS Support?

The same media outlet makes the claim of documented direct American support of ISIS here: https://levantreport.com/2014/09/13/isis-as-u-s-creation-the-clearest-authenticated-video-evidence-to-date/

From that I take just one quote: "The video, documenting (now former) U.S. Ambassador Robert Ford’s visit to FSA Col. Abdel Jabbar al-Okaidi in Northern Syria, also shows the same Col. Okaidi celebrating with and praising a well-known ISIS commander, Emir Abu Jandal, after conducting a successful joint operation against Syrian Army forces at Menagh Airbase in early August 2013. Abu Jandal’s identity can be further established in an interview he did with Al-Jazeera (Arabic), immediately after the capture of the airbase. In interview footage from the Eretz Zen video, the U.S. “key man” Okaidi, through which U.S. assistance flowed, also praises ISIS and Al-Qaeda as the FSA’s “brothers”. The video further shows Okaidi proudly declaring that al-Nusra (Al-Qaeda in Syria) makes up ten percent of the FSA."

Needless to say the video and evidence of American direct support for ISIS have not been widely circulated. Nor the effectiveness of Russian intervention in doing what the West said it was doing (i.e. fighting ISIS) whilst clearly doing the opposite!  In other words the whole western position, including it must be said the 'ISIS terrorist threat and events' is a crock of lies.

Conclusion

There is no doubt there is violence and destruction in Syria, but one can only conclude that the real reason for western intervention there, is not the defeat of ISIS but the defeat of Assad. If fact, deceitfully, the west has actually supported ISIS in this aim! It is important that the people of America and Europe realise they have been subject to a massive con. by their own elected governments and bear all this in mind when subjected by a Zionist controlled media to emotional imagery, such as that of poor little Omran Daqneesh.

From the Facebook page of Mamood M  Raslan who lives in Aleppo (here: https://www.facebook.com/mahmood.rasslan) with this translated caption, "Unfortunately become martyrs are just numbers don't mean to the world, anything.... but who's tougher?"

Another visitor falls from a Thai Hotel

Joshua Edward Beath
Date of Death: July 29, 2016 (Aged 30)

http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/thai-authorities-hunt-for-a-woman-following-the-death-of-a-melbourne-man-holidaying-in-bangkok-reports-20160807-gqn7rk.html

From: 

The following article is taken from "Farang Deaths". 

It states Mr Beath  died when he fell from the seventh floor of a Bangkok hotel. Mr Beath was from Melbourne, Australia, but no details are given of his occupation. It says he entered the hotel with a local woman who has subsequently disappeared and for whom the police are looking. It is reported he was on holiday and although there is no evidence of foul play, no one can explain how he came to fall.

Many foreigners die under analogous or unexplained circumstances that 'Farang Deaths' (here: www.farang-deaths.com/case/joshua-edward-beath/) attempts to catalogue.

"A 25-year-old Australian checks in into a four-star hotel with a Thai woman. Less than 24 hours later, his body is found on the ground next to the building. Was it suicide – or was anyone else involved in the death of the young man?

http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/thai-authorities-hunt-for-a-woman-following-the-death-of-a-melbourne-man-holidaying-in-bangkok-reports-20160807-gqn7rk.html

The information was first released by Siamrath, a Thai language online news website. 

"According to the article, Bang Rak Police Station was informed of the death of a foreigner at 7:15 Friday morning. Police denied to name the four-star hotel but said it was located on Surawong Rd in Bangkok’s Si Phraya district.

"Police officers from Bang Rak along with investigator Pol Maj Satid Soncha made their way to the place of the incident. On the concrete of a narrow aisle next to the 17 floors high hotel building, they found the lifeles body of Joshua Edward Beath, aged 25."

http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/thai-authorities-hunt-for-a-woman-following-the-death-of-a-melbourne-man-holidaying-in-bangkok-reports-20160807-gqn7rk.html

"Siamrath wrote Mr Beath was an Austrian citizen. However, considering his name and the fact that an obituary was published in the Australian paper Herald Sun makes it safe to assume that Mr Beath was actually from Australia.


"Mr Beath was not wearing any clothes, Pol Maj Satid said. He was lying on his back in a pool of blood.* An emergency doctor from General Police Hospital stated that the young man had sustained severe injuries to his head which eventually might have caused the death."

(* It should be noted the following photograph appears in contrast, to show him lying prostrate on his FRONT adjacent to what appears to be a large pool of blood. There is no explanation for the divergence between police description and the photographic evidence shown here.)

• http://www.farang-deaths.com/case/joshua-edward-beath/

"Pol Maj Satid inspected room no. 758 on the 7th floor of the hotel where the deceased had stayed. There were no signs of a fight or other circumstances that might indicate Mr Beath was the victim of a crime, he said.

"A maid on her way to work had found the already dead man and immediately called the police. According to hotel personnel, Mr Beath had checked in only one day earlier at around noon. With him was a Thai woman who was not present when police arrived.

"Police have opened an investigation to find out what really happened that night. For that, they will inspect related CCTV footage and question the Thai woman who might have been the last person that saw Mr Beath alive.

"In the obituary published in the Herald Sun days after the death, it is being said that his death was a “result of accident”."

Cologne Axe Attack 15.8.2016


Cologne was the location of mass anti-immigration protests in January 2016.

Any reasonably enlightened person has become aware how the media has been, and is being used, sometimes unwittingly, by government agencies, to promote a certain view of international issues. Primary suspects in this underhand business are the United States CIA and Israel's Mossad, often acting in concert. The news agencies that bring you the bare facts of a claimed incident, seldom challenge the reliability of their sources or follow up the questionable aspects that are subsequently revealed. Nothing must be propagated to the general public that conflicts with officially approved version. Of course the (literally) incredible events of 9/11 prove that, reinforced by innumerably more since, as elsewhere on this blog, I have feebly endeavoured to demonstrate.

We must all now realise that for the last couple of years France has been the target for a number of high-profile incidents, conveniently placed at the door of the so-called Islamic State, an off-shoot it would appear of a group and movement referred to as Al Qaeda. The fact that both these organisations were largely created and actively supported by a combination of countries such as Israel, the United States, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, is of course of itself deeply worrying, and renders any terrorist activity by it immediately suspect.

However the focus of attention now appears to have moved somewhat to Germany, with a series of well publicised 'terror' events, that have been laid at the door of disaffected Muslims in general, with sympathies or connections with 'ISIS' in particular. Within the context of world events, this trend which is hardly likely to be a sudden spontaneous outbreak of violence, needs to be subject to rigorous examination for clues as to source and purpose.

Anyone who has read my previous articles on earlier events in Paris, Nice, Brussels and Munich (to mention just four!) will realise I place great stress and importance on images that go 'viral', and where they originate and by whom, as an indicator of foreknowledge of the event, and likely organising 'mind' behind them. When this keeps leading back to the same place -the CIA/Mossad connection - we can only come to the rather obvious conclusion of involvement and collusion.

So it was with some interest I noticed the source of the following image of the latest German incident in Cologne was the 'ANADOLU AGENCY' in conjunction with Getty Images. (In passing I have often noted the rather strange frequency of 'smiling faces' as here with the gentleman on the right. With some confidence but no inference, I can say that true terror never evinces smiles) Continuing the the theme, perhaps it should be mentioned that the 'NRW' on police uniforms stands for 'North Rhine-Westphalia' - the largest regional police force - not New World ordeR, nor that the consecutive numbering indicates that the two officers are an 'item'!


https://www.facebook.com/topic/Cologne-Germany/105525356147328?source=whfrt&position=3&trqid=6318993437711422448


Anadolo Agency happens to be a Turkish outfit.  Particularly in the light of  dramatic events in Turkey involving an attempted coup, it is a matter of interest, how and why this is the source of the photo. Of course there may be a genuine and wholly innocent reason why a Turkish Agency photographer was immediately on scene in Cologne, but more devious explanations should never be ruled out.

Turkey as we know is in a state of high tension with over twenty thousand individuals currently under arrest and subject to Turkish methods of interrogation which are well known for their thoroughness. Claims and counter-claims of foreign interference fill the airways, the latest being that Europe is unjustly 'threatening' Turkey with sanctions over its response and fear that having only recently been at 'daggers drawn' with neighbouring Russia, it is now intent on making the association closer, particularly in the area of defence.

We need not point out that Turkey is a full member of NATO and that America is highly reliant on it for staging post and base for its Russia facing rockets and nuclear capability in the area. Nor that American/Israeli compact is deeply implicated in the attempted coup, although in view of the potential consequences, Ankara has refrained from this explicit accusation, preferring to put all the blame on Fethullah Gülen resident in, and protected by, the U.S.A.

Turkey's role in the chief 'bogeyman' - ISIS - is clear for all to see. It facilitated through its borders the arrival of terrorist extremists from Libya with the assistance of the United States and then actively supported them by buying the oil produced from its controlled territory, that paid for the mercenaries and armaments to supplement those provided by Qatar and other Middle East states.

Now it would appear, a west-inspired attempted coup, intended to align Turkey more closely to the US/Israeli master plan for the region, including the establishment of an independent state for the Kurds strenuously opposed by Turkey, has back-fired and pushed it into the arms of Iran and Russia, the worst possible scenario for both said countries. 

So it in this wider context that we view all the so-called 'terrorist incidents' on European soil, and particularly in France and now Germany. If we can see it, European leaders certainly must, but such is the influence of the United States, they are prepared to play dumb, and go along with an essentially fraudulent narrative of 'Muslim Extremism' that hardly explains anything apart from American/Israeli meddling and intrigue.

Back in Cologne the story so far as reported by the Independent is that:  

"Two suspects are on the run after a knife and shooting attack in Cologne, local media has reported. A 34-year-old man was seriously injured in the attack near Rudolfplatz in the early hours of Monday morning. Several people told police shortly before 4am local time that three or four people seemed to be having problems with another man, with eyewitnesses telling the Koelner Express they saw men attacking each other with axes." (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/cologne-shooting-stabbing-attack-two-suspects-on-the-run-knife-gun-latest-updates-a7191301.html)

Reuters had this: 
"Police, who received emergency calls around 3.45 a.m. (0145 GMT), found traces of blood and shattered glass at the scene and said they were investigating whether several spent gun cartridges they found were also linked to the incident. There has been a spate of indiscriminate attacks against civilians in Germany in recent weeks, including two claimed by the Islamic State group and a mass shooting in Munich by a deranged 18-year-old that was also initially seen as terrorism-related."

Reuters has this image to illustrate the story. You may consider it overly dramatic but that is what consistently we see from the media when it comes to this subject.

Whether this latest incident was a 'terrorist event' or not, and the authorities are suggesting it was not, it is fairly clear how this spate of Muslim/ISIS incidents is resounding within the German community and political scene. This was quite predictable and therefore the question arises was it the devious intention by the people who plan such things. As always "who benefits" is the question to be asked. It is certainly NOT  ISIS or Muslims generally that's for sure. Nor is it the population of Iraq and Syria, for whom it means more not less bombing and other military intervention.

However it is good for a generally more aggressive stance against these countries and people, support for Israel, and a more right wing and repressive politics at home. France remember is still under a State of Emergency, conveniently extended immediately after the Nice attack. For those familiar with the secret 'GLADIO' organisation and its methods, this appears very like a re-run. Germany, and particularly Merkel, has stood in the way of an aggressive American anti-Russian stance. 

See how it is being emotively and personally portrayed as in this photo image:


http://ichef-1.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cpsprodpb/147BE/production/_87620938_87620937.jpg

The "147BE/production" tag brings this anti-Merkel site on twitter https://twitter.com/hashtag/merkelized. Note also the involvement of the BBC apparently!

The previous chief of police in Cologne had to resign in January after it emerged that he had also deliberately covered up the full extent of the attack on German women in the city it is claimed.

France under Hollande made many Palestine-positive announcements and the intention to cancel the state of emergency, until Nice and Rouen intervened. Was Turkey frustrating American plans in that region? Meanwhile, all the media and political stops have been pulled out to undermine the anti-war/nuclear deterrent Corbyn in Britain - so far disastrously. Do we see a definite pattern repeated here? You would have to be blind not to I would suggest.

So now belated back to my original point regarding the Anadolo Agency, we discover that its chief executive is an Erdogan insider, Senol Kazanci appointed only twenty months ago. His twitter feed is here though frustratingly all in Turkish: https://twitter.com/senolkazanci There appears to be no mention of Cologne on it despite his photographer being there. He appears to have escaped the the recent purge though we may wonder what "further education in the U.S." consisted of and whether his position has been compromised by it? 

From http://www.dailysabah.com/nation/2014/12/17/anadolu-agencys-new-director-general-appointed we glean:

"Kazancı was born in Istanbul in 1975, but he is originally from Yomra district in Turkey's northeastern Trabzon province. He did his early schooling at the Kartal Anatolian Imam Hatip High School in Istanbul. Later, he studied law at Istanbul University and recieved further education in the U.S.

"In 2007, he became the chief editor of the Turkish television channel, TV Net. He also wrote articles for the daily Yeni Şafak until 2011, during which time he was appointed as Erdoğan's principal consultant during his prime ministry. Kazancı went on to serve as a key advisor when Erdoğan became the president. Kazancı is married with two daughters. He speaks English and German."

Here's another from that source as can be seen. Unfortunately no date or location is attached so it is not clear whether this relates to the recent event or some other. However, note the term 'asset' embedded in the description. Further a search on "IWSAsset&k" embedded in the photo source brings up this site full of photographs dominated by members of the Royal family the significance of which (if any) I have no idea!  https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=IWSAsset%26k&rlz=1C1ARAB_enGB463GB464&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj6usTbvcPOAhVBLMAKHQlXBWgQ7AkINQ&biw=1024&bih=713

So to conclude, can we infer anything from the fact that a photographer employed by the leading Turkish news agency was on scene at the time of the alleged incident or soon after? We do not know the name of the photographer and with a large Turkish presence in Germany it is perhaps not surprising they have photographers there that they can use. However the incident does fit within a trend and is likely to exacerbate anti-immigration and possibly anti-Turkish sentiment as part of the wider pattern. Any causal links to Turkey itself are however tenuous in the extreme.

MEANWHILE IN TURKEY....

From: http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/explosion-hits-village-in-turkeys-diyarbakir.aspx?pageID=238&nID=102859&NewsCatID=341

Two police officers and a child were killed in an outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) car bomb attack targeting a traffic police station in the Şükürlü village located between the Çınar and the Bismil districts of the southeastern province of Diyarbakır on Aug. 15, the Diyarbakır Governor’s Office has announced.

The governor’s office also said in a statement that 25 people, including eight police officers, were wounded in the attack targeting the Murat Uçar Regional Traffic Inspection Station at around 1 p.m.

The wounded were transferred to nearby hospitals.

The blast also created a hole with a depth of five meters in the road, which was closed to traffic.

Meanwhile, security forces conducted an operation in the region to apprehend the militants responsible for the blast.

Thanks Neil. The point of an analogy, is to illuminate the subject under discussion. The 'onion analogy' has many applications, and no doubt many more, including but not discussed, the TRUTH in any situation.

Thanks for referring me to the above. I'm a pragmatist and realist. I find the 'Guardian Alliance' rescuing anyone pretty irrational. The mind is its own place and the creator of its unique reality that may not equate with any objective assessment. There is the scientific approach and a psuedo scientific approach that may even convince the proselytizer.

Its interesting that the diagram looks like an onion ring, with resonances to the Ptolemaic but less impressive! It is sobering to think there are people that make a living out of duping others with their tosh. Meanwhile the real issues and dangers in the world are avoided. It is very possible that state agengies fund them merely to distract and to discredit all so called 'conspiracy theorists' - many with truth on their side!

Humans have always wrestled, at one level or another, with the meta-physical, usually evidenced in some form of religious belief that becomes formalised with associated ritualistic practices. These invariably lay claim to the miraculous and extra-dimensional. It's almost as if it is programmed into the human personality and psyche. 

We are essentially brain in body, a combination that has set humans apart from all other creatures in immagination and creativity. 9Yet we cannot sniff as well as dog, or navigate as well as a swallow, or survive radiation as well as a beetle!) It has also made us arrogant and cruel. 

We believe the 'outer' physical world is an objective reality, and indeed the experimental method supports it, because amazingly it follows set rules throughout the whole universe, but equally it can only be appreciated though our mind and senses. When they go, it goes in a personal sense at least, and permanently when death intervenes. 

A deluded mind can be convinced of nonsense and nothing will persuade otherwise. This is not the same as saying that some ideas, first considered nonsense, have subsequently been supported by experiment or experience and become staples of our modern world view. All in all, as individuals, we are but passing figments of out own imagination and may even be the ultimate destruction of it. The following may be of interest.http://www.physicsoftheuniverse.com/cosmological.html
