Major Catholic Leaders Declare: 'Trump's Bombing Of Syria Only Shows That The USA Wants The Violence And Slaughtering To Continue In Syria'

<p>Two major Catholic leaders, Patriarch Ignace Joseph Younan and Bishop Georges Khazen, are condemning Trump's bombing of Syria. According to <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.ncronline.org/news/world/catholic-leaders-syria-criticize-us-missile-strikes">one report:</a></p><blockquote><p>Two prominent Catholic leaders in Syria criticized the U.S. missile strikes against their nation, wondering why they occurred before investigations into the origins of chemical attacks reported April 4.</p><p>But U.S. President Donald Trump said Syrian President Bashar Assad "launched a horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians" and "choked out the lives of helpless men, women and children."</p><p>"No child of God should ever suffer such horror," he said April 6, announcing that he had ordered the strike against the air base from which he said the chemical weapons attack was launched.</p><p>Syriac Catholic Patriarch Ignace Joseph Younan called the attack an aggression and told Catholic News Service: "It is a shame that the United States administration didn't wait until an honest United Nations investigation was thoroughly made into what is said to be a chemical air strike in Khan Shaykun."</p><p>"The agglomerate media and the supremacist policy of the USA just want the killing and destroying conflict in Syria to continue, and this primarily to kill whatever attempt to resolve the bloody crisis," added Younan, who was born in Syria and served for 14 years as bishop of the New Jersey-based Diocese of Our Lady of Deliverance for Syriac Catholics in the United States and Canada.</p><p>Bishop Georges Khazen, who serves Latin-rite Catholics in Aleppo, told the Rome-based Fides news agency that he was baffled by "the speed with which it was decided and carried out, without any adequate investigation into the tragic massacre with chemical weapons which took place in Idlib province."</p><p>He said the attack "opens new disturbing scenarios for all."</p></blockquote>

Burmese Military Arrests And Jails Christian Pastors On Bogus Charges And Without Trial For Months

Christians and missionaries are routinely arrested, tortured, and killed over there. The persecution is so bad that the last movie in the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rambo_(2008_film)">Rambo</a> series with Syvester Stallone was about him helping persecuted Christian minorities and captured American missionaries by the Burmese government, in which in the final end scene he with the Christian missionaries and fellow Burmese Christians take up arms against the Burmese military and wipe them out.</p><p>In a recent story out of Burma, two Christian pastors have been arrested and jailed without any formal charges being brought against them nor any plans for a trial for three months now:</p><blockquote><p>Two assistant pastors arrested by the Burma army have been jailed without trial for more than three months, sources said.</p><p>Pastors Dom Dawng Nawng Latt, 65, and 35-year-old La Jaw Gam Hseng were arrested on Dec. 24 after helping local journalists cover military conflict in northern Shan state, eastern Burma (Myanmar), where a Catholic Church building was bombed by Burma army jets in November. They are charged with unlawful association with an armed ethnic group, an accusation the Kachin Baptist Convention church leaders deny.</p><p>U Brang Di, attorney for the two pastors, told Morning Star News that normally suspects can be held for only 28 days without trial under Burmese law.</p><p>The prosecutor, Maj. Kyaw Zin Htun, has filed charges accusing the pastors of recruiting and spying for armed ethnic groups such as the Kachin Independence Army (KIA). Under Burma’s Unlawful Association Act, the Christian leaders could face as much as three years in prison under Article 17/1 for making contributions to or assisting an “unlawful association,” and as much as five years under Article 17/2 for assisting in the management or promotion of one.</p><p>Brang Di said the case has been slowed by prosecution absences and the army’s effort to transfer the accused to a court in Lashio, in northeastern Shan state. Citing ongoing fighting between rebel and government forces in Shan state, the prosecutor sometimes has been unable to show up at court hearings, Brang Di said.<br />“The pastors can’t be detained for such a long time without trial, according to the law,” Brang Di said, adding that he was only stating the law, not complaining, as such delays are common in cases involving the army. “I will try my best to make them free in accordance with the law.”</p><p>The pastors on Dec. 24 went to the Byuha Gon military base to negotiate the release of a civilian couple who had complained to army officials about the destruction of their house, sources said. Military officials released the couple and detained the clergymen, they said, adding that the arrest was linked to the pastors helping journalists cover the bombing of the St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church building on Nov. 23-24.</p><p>The Unlawful Association Act, often invoked during Burma’s decades of rule by military junta to arrest suspected rebel sympathizers, is still used to stop Kachin state residents from making contact with KIA rebels, according to Radio Free Asia. Burmese and international rights groups have called on the government to amend or rescind the law so that Non-Governmental Organizations are not targeted under the act.</p><p>Armed conflict between Burma and ethnic separatist organizations erupted anew in northern Shan state in November 2016, forcing over 50,000 refugees in total to flee to other areas of the state and the border with China.<br />Zau Rau of the Kachin Baptist Convention in Muse Town, where the pastors are detained, said the KBC wants the trial completed as soon as possible.</p><p>“There is no development,” Rau said. “It seems they make the process long. We want the trial to begin soon.”</p><p>Also slowing the proceedings, he said, was the prosecutor adding charges to the case, most recently charging Pastor Latt with damaging the reputation of the army by allegedly telling media that soldiers burned rice stores belonging to civilians.</p><p>Human Rights Watch has decried the arrests as arbitrary and called on Burma to release the pastors immediately.<br />After more than five years of intensified conflict since Burma violated a 17-year cease-fire in 2011, many Kachin face protracted displacement and are desperate to return home, according to a report by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. The Burma army launched major offensives against the KIA for several months last year and took over several strategic military bases.</p><p>The KBC has provided aid to internally displaced people fleeing fighting between the government army and ethnic militias in both Kachin and Shan states, according to Radio Free Asia.</p><p>Burma is about 80 percent Buddhist and 9 percent Christian. The government has recognized the special status of Buddhism in Burma and promoted it as a means to consolidate support.</p><p>Burma ranked 28th on Christian support organization Open Doors’ 2017 World Watch List of the 50 countries where it is most difficult to be a Christian.<br />(<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://morningstarnews.org/2017/04/two-pastors-burma-detained-three-months-without-trial/">source</a>)</p></blockquote><p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/VXTXH9zSSCE?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'></iframe></span></p>

Iraqi Christians Declare To The West 'Please, We Don't Want To Return To Iraq Because We Have Been Through Enough'

<p style="text-align: center"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/mosuldestroyed.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-110140" height="196" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/mosuldestroyed-300x196.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/mosuldestroyed-300x196.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/mosuldestroyed.jpg 630w" width="300" /></a></p><p>While there has been much talk about returning Iraqi Christian refugees to their homes, we at Shoebat.com have been saying that is irresponsible and dangerous because ISIS might return. We know this because we actually have worked in these countries and are aware of the situation. We have said repeatedly that the best way to help Iraq's Christians is to help them resettle abroad.</p><p>Now in a recent story, Iraq's Christians are saying what we have been telling everybody for along time- that they don't want to go home because they are afraid ISIS will return once again:</p><blockquote><p>Christians who fled Islamic State atrocities in Mosul, Iraq are reportedly still afraid that violence will return even after their destroyed hometown is reconstructed</p><p>ISIS previously declared a caliphate at the al-Nuri mosque in Mosul, but coalition forces have almost recaptured the site. The Iraqi government has entered the city and has tried to let in only the authorities, but most of the areas surrounding Mosul is being controlled by the Shia militia, CGTN notes.</p><p>In Qaraqosh, electricians are starting to rewire the town in what is seen as one of the first acts of reconstruction since ISIS was driven out of it in December. Unfortunately, Christians will have little use of these services because most of them have already fled to Erbil.</p><p>The situation in and around Mosul has given birth to fear among Christians that sectarian violence could erupt after ISIS is completely defeated. Should that situation play out in the future, believers would reportedly be left without allies.</p><p>Meanwhile, a vicar serving Christian refugees in Erbil warned that the believers can never return to their hometowns because ISIS has trained child radicals with its destructive ideology. Speaking to The Express in an interview published last month, Father Daniel said the militant group will continue its efforts to eradicate Christians from the Middle East.</p><p>"We can go back but it is a question of safety. We are dealing with a new generation bred by ISIS - they have a radical anti-Christian viewpoint and so it would be really hard to go back," Father Daniel told The Express. "It would be very hard for children here and children in Mosul to get together. Can they even get along together as two groups? Could they adapt to each other? We really need to work with the children in Mosul to change what ISIS has implanted there."</p><p>In light of the imminent danger, Father Daniel said education could be Christians' only weapon against ISIS and its new generation of child radicals. The vicar also shared that some of their young supporters are now working as translators and are trying to get their message heard across the world. (<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.christiandaily.com/article/mosul-christians-still-afraid-of-violence-after-reconstruction/60243.htm">source</a>)</p></blockquote><p>It is sad that Christianity in Iraq, for now, is at this point. However, what matters most, as always, is helping the Christians themselves. If we do not, then it is only a matter of time before ISIS finishes off the few survivors.</p>

What The Media Is Not Showing You: Years Ago, Islamic Rebels In Syria Were Testing Chemical Weapons On Rabbits Before Using Them On Humans

<p><strong>By Theodore Shoebat and Walid Shoebat</strong></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2012/12/16/syrian-rebels-now-have-chemical-weapons/">In 2012, Shoebat.com revealed</a> how Islamic rebels in Syria were testing chemical weapons on rabbits before using them on human beings.

In the same report I wrote:</p><p>"We have heard repeatedly from politicians and pundits alike that Assad may very well be using his chemical weapons against the rebels. A number of days ago John Baird, Canada’s foreign minister, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/story/2012/12/11/pol-baird-syria-chemical-weapons.html">expressed</a> his fear that Assad will be using chemical weapons on his own people.</p><p>Well, as I have said <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2012/11/05/associated-press-finally-takes-notice-of-atrocities-committed-by-syrian-rebels/">numerous times</a>, its the Syrian rebels who we need to worry about and not Assad. The rebels have seized chemical weapons, and they are willing to use them on innocent people. According to <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.elaph.com/Web/news/2012/12/778492.html?entry=arab">Russia Today</a>, Syrian rebels have obtained chemical weapons from Libya and are planning on using them on civilians, and then blaming it on Assad. This is an effort between the Syrian rebels and their allies in Turkey, alongside cooperation with Libyan rebels under Abdel Hakim bel Haj."</p><p>In 2013, the US government and much of the media were saying that Assad's regime used sarin nerve gas civilians. It turned out to be that it was the rebels who used the chemical weapon, as <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2013/08/27/evidence-syrian-rebels-used-chemical-weapons-not-assad/">shoebat.com confirmed</a> (click <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2013/03/25/alarming-footage-syrian-rebels-used-chemical-weapons/">here</a> as well). As <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2013/08/30/ap-reporter-syrian-rebels-behind-chemical-attack/">Shoebat.com had shown</a>, an AP reporter documented how the chemical weapons were used by the rebels:</p><blockquote><p>The U.S., Britain, and France as well as the Arab League have accused the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for carrying out the chemical weapons attack, which mainly targeted civilians. U.S. warships are stationed in the Mediterranean Sea to launch military strikes against Syria in punishment for carrying out a massive chemical weapons attack.<strong> The U.S. and others are not interested in examining any contrary evidence, with U.S Secretary of State John Kerry saying Monday that Assad’s guilt was “a judgment … already clear to the world.”</strong></p><p>However, from numerous interviews with doctors, Ghouta residents, rebel fighters and their families, a different picture emerges. Many believe that <strong>certain rebels received chemical weapons via the Saudi intelligence chief, Prince Bandar bin Sultan,</strong> and were responsible for carrying out the dealing gas attack.</p></blockquote><p>Another report showed:</p><blockquote><p>…the militant group <strong>Jabhat al-Nusra, which is linked to al-Qaida,</strong> announced that it would similarly attack civilians in the Assad regime’s heartland of Latakia on Syria’s western coast, in purported retaliation.</p><p>“They didn’t tell us what these arms were or how to use them,” complained a female fighter named ‘K.’ “We didn’t know they were chemical weapons. We never imagined they were chemical weapons.”</p><p><strong>“When Saudi Prince Bandar gives such weapons to people, he must give them to those who know how to handle and use them,”</strong> she warned.</p></blockquote><p>The US government currently is playing the same propaganda scheme, blaming a chemical attack on Assad, when it was more than likely the rebels who had those chemical weapons.</p><p>So what is the truth behind this chemical attack that never circulates the western media? Lets examine footage never seen before in the West and the evidence regarding the latest chemical attack narrative from Syria to see who really is behind these alleged 'chemical attacks'.</p><p>Firstly, lets start with the politics. It was Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan who has called on US President <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.alaraby.co.uk/english/news/2017/4/5/trump-turns-against-assad-after-chemical-attack-atrocity-?utm_campaign=magnet&utm_source=article_page&utm_medium=related_articles" target="_blank">Donald Trump</a> to back up his harsh words against Syria with actions, following the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.alaraby.co.uk/english/news/2017/4/5/chemical-attack-evidence-of-syria-war-crimes" target="_blank">deadly chemical attack</a> this week that left scores of people, including children dead.</p><p>"Trump said it was impossible to close your eyes against the Assad regime's hateful actions. Thank you, but don't limit yourself to comments, we need action," Erdogan told Turkey's <em>Kanal 7</em> television.</p><p>"If it truly is a matter of actions, then Turkey is ready to take its responsibilities. We will not back down," he said.</p><p>It was former US president Barack Obama who had also warned Syria that chemical attacks in the country's civil war would cross a "red line", but later refrained from taking military action against the regime.</p><p>As we stated several times, in the U.S. parties change but foreign policy doesn't. So Trump complied to the Islamist's request from Turkey by sending cruise missiles which were fired from a U.S. Navy vessel in the Mediterranean Sea. Their target was the airfield which serves as the base for the warplanes suspected of carrying out the chemical attack.</p><p>Two Republican senators are calling on President Donald Trump to take out Syria's air force as part of a swift and forceful response.</p><p>"Hit this guy," Graham said of Assad. "You've got my full permission." <a class="r_lapi" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/us/john-mccain.htm">John McCain</a> of Arizona, who spoke to Trump on Wednesday, and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said in a statement Thursday that Syrian President Bashar Assad "has crossed a line" and "must pay a punitive cost for this horrific attack."</p><p>But what is the truth from the ground and what is going to be the results of all of this. Here, in Syria demonstrators that condemn the alleged chemical attack shout <em>Al-Sha'b yurid Khilafa Islamiyeh</em>. English: "the people want an Islamic Caliphate":</p><p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/N-BW7yNbWIg?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'></iframe></span></p><p>But what is the truth behind this chemical attack that never circulates the western media that we obtained from Middle Eastern sources?</p><p><em>Khan Sheikhoun</em>, where the attack happened was a hewn mountain with tunnels and impenetrable bunkers.

This is a coalition of Islamist and Salafist units involved in the Syrian Civil War. The group along with <a class="mw-redirect" title="Ahrar ash-Sham" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahrar_ash-Sham">Ahrar ash-Sham</a> are the main rebel groups supported by <a title="Saudi Arabia" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Arabia">Saudi Arabia</a>. Liwa al-Islam was established by <a title="Zahran Alloush" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zahran_Alloush">Zahran Alloush</a>, the son of Saudi-based religious scholar <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaysh_al-Islam">Mohammed Alloush</a> who is currently residing in Turkey and is aided by it.</p><p>One clue that reveal these knew of the attack prior to it happening was that Alloush blundered a tweet showing about the types of symptoms caused by the gas claiming it caused "heart failure for five hours". It is possible however to have a coma because of the inhalation of chlorine gas and other chemicals. How he knew what chemical agent was used before any investigation remains a mystery.</p><p>Also, another source of these leaked reports is the social media accounts of Syrian propaganda journalist Feras Karam, who writes for the Syrian oppositionist website Orient News. Karam before the day of the attack tweeted all journalists to prep for the major media campaign to expose Syria's use of chemical attacks. How would he have known of an impending attack prior to the event remains a mystery.</p><p>https://twitter.com/feraskaram01/status/849050540323594240</p><p>Text of the tweet states "tomorrow is the campaign coverage the extent of the air raids in Hama and the use of <strong>poisonous chlorine</strong> against civilians" Dated April 3, 7:06 PM. This was definitely before when the chemical incident happened.</p><p>All this plus other reports reveal Turkey was involved:</p><p><iframe src="//www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/x5hc7n8?start=15" width="480" height="270" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><br /><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5hc7n8_syria-reject-allegations-of-using-chemical-arms_news?start=140" target="_blank">Syria reject allegations of using chemical arms</a> <i>by <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.dailymotion.com/presstv" target="_blank">presstv</a></i></p><p>So now we come to the million dollar question that no serious 'analyst' can answer. The Syrian government has achieved significant gains, while its rebel adversaries are largely in disarray.

The Islamic Government Of Sudan Plans On Destroying Twenty Five Christian Churches. Christians Gather Together To Protest, And Muslims Attack Them And Stab One Church Elder To Death

<p>The Islamic government of Sudan is planning to destroy twenty five Christian churches. Christians recently gathered together to protest this persecution, and Muslims came in and attacked them, stabbing one church elder to death. Here is one report on <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.christianpost.com/news/sudan-to-demolish-25-christian-churches-christian-elder-stabbed-to-death-179817/">the story:</a></p><div class="page"><div class="container"><div class="article-content main-content"><div><article class="full-article"><section><blockquote><p>The American Center for Law and Justice said on Thursday that Christians, who are a minority in the Muslim-dominated Sudan, have been protesting against government plans to demolish the 25 churches. Officials contend that the churches were built on land intended for other use.</p><p>"The Sudanese government has repeatedly oppressed the Christian community by interfering with their land and places of worship. For example, in 2014 officials made a statement that no new churches could be built in Sudan," the ACLJ wrote.</p><p>"Additionally, in 2012, the Ministry of Endowment canceled the democratically elected committee that had been in place since 1902 to oversee church property, and appointed a corrupt committee that sold most of the church's land," it continued.</p><p>"The Administration court issued a decision in February 2015 ruling that the ministry has no right to appoint this committee and the elected committee had the legal power to deal with church land," but the government has refused to implement the court's decision.</p><p>Meanwhile, Open Doors reported that a church elder was stabbed to death over a similar issue on April 3.</p><p>The organization, which ranks Sudan as the fifth worst country in the world when it comes to Christian persecution, said that a group of Christians gathered on Monday at the Evangelical School in Omdurman for a peaceful protest against the illegal appropriation of the school.</p><p>Police arrested the men, however, while a group of 20 people began beating the women. A number of men from the nearby Bahri Evangelical Church rushed in to help their brothers and sisters in Christ, but two were stabbed in the clashes.</p><p>Younan Abdullah, an elder in Bahri Evangelical Church, died from his injuries, while the second church member, Ayoub Kumama, survived and was treated at a nearby hospital.</p><p>Although one man was arrested by police following Abdullah's murder, Open Doors argued that officials did not do enough to protect the peaceful protesters from the attack.</p><p>Several pastors have also been arrested on trumped-up national security charges, and although some have since been released, the Rev. Hassan Abduraheem remains in prison after being sentenced to 12 years for his Christian faith.</p><p>In February, Pastor Michael Yat, who was also previously imprisoned, told International Christian Concern in response to questions by The Christian Post that the Sudanese government doesn't want Christians in the country.</p><p>He claimed that the government is especially opposed to those who can speak Arabic, "because they fear that they can easily reach out to the Muslims and win them to Christ."</p><p>"They do not allow pastors to reach out to Muslims in Khartoum, Darfur and the Nuba mountains. These are strictly Muslim-dominated areas," he said.</p></blockquote>

Trump Betrays His Supporters And Syria's Christians, Goes All In To Support Islamic Terrorists, The Neocon Swamp, And Its Evil Agenda

<p>This attack by President Trump is an act of outright betrayal. Let's not mince words- he made a promise that he would not worsen the situation with Syria. Now he has turned against this promise and acted even more aggressively than Obama has:</p><p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/aWejiXvd-P8?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'></iframe></span></p><p style="text-align: center">LIAR.</p><p>Trump had his chance, and he threw it in the faces of those who voted for him, choosing instead to follow in the necon path of war that Obama, Bush, and Clinton followed before him.</p><p>But in all fairness to Trump, he is really not doing anything different. Instead, he is just continuing a long line of evil policies that the United States has been following for the last century. Let's take a brief look at American policy in the light of a few questions surrounding this "attack," do some critical thinking, and we'll put this puzzle together.</p><p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/O_aPlqjvJno?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'></iframe></span></p><p style="text-align: center">LISTEN TO ASAD in this clip. He is no fool and he knows a LOT more than what we are told he knows.</p><p>First (and to me, the most obvious) question: Why on earth would Asad decide now, of all times, to do a horrible attack against his own people?</p><p>If you are a regular shoebat.com reader, you know that we have been carefully documenting the conflict in Syria. We have reported regularly on the barbarity of ISIS and even on actions committed by the legitimate Syrian government. If you look back at our archives, you will see that President Asad's government has done almost NOTHING in comparison to that which ISIS has committed, and when he has acted, he has done so against ISIS members.</p><p>President Asad is a figure who <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2016/12/26/while-isis-rebels-slaughter-christians-syrian-president-asad-visits-christians-and-celebrates-christmas-with-them-at-a-monastery/">unites rather than divides Syria</a>. Christians, Muslims, and pagans alike in Syria supported and continue to support him because while he is a Muslim, he has stood alongside all of the diverse groups in Syria and tried to keep them together. Except for Russia, he has done far more than the US or other Western Governments at actually helping the Syrian people in their time of need.</p><p style="text-align: center"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/asada1.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-110110" height="210" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/asada1-300x210.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/asada1-300x210.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/asada1.jpg 680w" width="300" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center">Which one is the real enemy of the Syrian people- the "evil dictator" Asad (above) or the "resistance forces" (below)?</p><p style="text-align: center"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/isis-ethiopian-christian-15.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-110111" height="167" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/isis-ethiopian-christian-15-300x167.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/isis-ethiopian-christian-15-300x167.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/isis-ethiopian-christian-15-768x427.jpg 768w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/isis-ethiopian-christian-15.jpg 780w" width="300" /></a></p><p>At the same time, I also recall how we have been reporting for years on the connections between ISIS to the USA, Western European governments, and Turkey. As we have repeatedly shown and proven through our previous stories (for starters <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2015/02/20/isis-leader-admits-funded-obama-administration/">here</a>, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2015/12/18/conspiracy-theory-becomes-fact-proof-the-cia-helped-create-isis/">here</a>, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2016/08/11/what-we-already-knew-here-us-government-falsified-intel-reports-about-isis-and-the-threat-of-islamic-terrorism-for-political-gain/">here</a>, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2016/02/25/ill-be-right-there-big-brother-classified-military-transcripts-leaked-to-media-prove-link-between-isis-and-turkey/">here</a>, and <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2017/02/14/what-the-media-is-not-telling-you-turkey-is-not-fighting-isis-turkey-is-using-isis-to-bring-in-the-islamic-grand-caliphate-and-the-islamic-empire-that-will-begin-the-greatest-slaughter-of-christians/">here</a>), the weed that is ISIS was watered, fertilized, protected, and propagated with the generous assistance of American and Turkish financial and industrial interests. The reason this was done was in order to create a social wedge which the US could use to dislodge various and current governments in the Middle East and replace them with malleable rulers that would allow for America to continue expanding her economic interests (primarily in the form of crude oil and rare earth mineral reserves) while at the same time attacking Russia. Syria was always a target because of her strategic geopolitical location as a crossing point between Israel, Iraq, and Turkey. If anything can be proven definitively, it is that the heinous crimes and genocide of the Christian people of Iraq and Syria, while committed at the hands of ISIS members, would not have been possible were it not for the direct assistance and support of the Americans.</p><p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/pdH4JKjVRyA?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'></iframe></span></p><p style="text-align: center">Asad is a smart man. He is no fool. He knows what he is doing, he has his power and he wants to keep it. He is not going to attack his own people.</p><p>Asad knows all of these things. Even if he were an absolutely evil man with no good intentions whatsoever, he is a man of power whose family has been in power for decades. He knows how to gain and keep power, and he is not going to do something that is brazenly stupid which will cause his power to be in jeopardy- not after fighting as hard as he has and enlisting the help of the Russians to do so. Why would he give America and her allies any reason whatsoever to further push into his country when he has stated and shown repeatedly that he wants peace for his people and an end to the terrorism that the US has brought? It makes absolutely no sense for him to give the order to just randomly murder his own people with any kind of weapon and without explanation.</p><p>Second, one cannot understand the situation in Syria without looking at American policy for the last century.</p><p style="text-align: center"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/PNAC_logo.png"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-110112" height="48" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/PNAC_logo-300x48.png" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/PNAC_logo-300x48.png 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/PNAC_logo.png 500w" width="300" /></a></p><p>Back in 1997, there was a think tank created called the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_for_the_New_American_Century">"Project for a New American Century."</a> It was headed by the neoconservative William Kristol, and the purpose of the institution was to carve out a 'new vision' for America's role in the 21st century to retain America's position as the preeminent world power. The way the institution proposed to do this was, among other reasons, through destabilizing and toppling governments who did not submit to American economic or political demands under the guise of promoting "freedom" abroad and then institute puppet governments in these same nations. These actions would be carried out with willing economic and political allies in Western Europe, Israel, and Turkey. There were many nations targeted by PNAC's reports for "regime change," particularly in the Middle East. These included Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Libya, and Somalia.</p><p style="text-align: left">Many of these reports were formulated back in the 1990s and even earlier. It is important to understand that the policies which the US followed in the Middle East following the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks were already well established before the attacks happened. They did not exist as policies unto themselves, but were the modernized forms of policies followed for the decades after World War II during the Cold War, except now instead of being directed against the Soviet Union the target was Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States and her allies such as China.</p><p>Due to its geopolitical location and now the significant presence of crude oil and rare earth minerals used in modern industrial technology, the Middle East became the focus of the geopolitical conflict between the USA et al and Russia et al of the last century. Indeed, the Middle East has always been a place of conflict where various empires fought out their issues through proxy wars (before moving to direct war) going back to antiquity. The only difference between today and yesterday was the names, faces, and tools used, but still with the same objective, and that is the pursuit of power.</p><p>Third, the fact is that the USA has been pushing the "chemical weapons" charges against Syria for many years with the only claims of proof being political rumors in the same way which they leveled charged against other countries she wanted to overthrow. This has been the modus operandi of the United States going back to the conflict with the Soviets in the 1980s in Afghanistan.</p><p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/LQUXuQ6Zd9w?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'></iframe></span></p><p style="text-align: center">Black Sabbath's <span style="text-decoration: underline">War Pigs</span>. A fitting song for many policies for the last half century.</p><p>As I mentioned in my previous point, the conflict today is a power struggle being waged on behalf of the major industrial interests in America and the West which are all in turn controlled and directed by the major financial interests going back to World War II. There is absolutely no regard shown for the people at all except for a feigned regard in order to give the illusion of care so as to justify invasion.</p><p>Back in 1951, the Iranians considered themselves allies of the US and were a democratic country who had recently and democratically elected a new prime minister, Mohamed Mossadegh. Iran was for all intensive purposes a nation that wanted to imitate America and Europe. However, Mossadegh incurred the wrath of the West because he nationalized the Iranian Oil and Gas industry instead of allowing it to remain solely a private enterprise that could be exploited by foreign (American and European) Oil interests. The result was that the CIA deposed Mossadegh in Operation Ajax in 1953 and installed a "friendly" government which allowed for the continuation of business interests. The result was a rebellion from the Muslim clergy that lead to the overthrow of the Monarchy in the Islamic Revolution of 1979 and the current state of Iran today.</p><p>While there is much talk about how much Iran "hates" America, when viewed from the lens of history, how would you feel if your supposed "friend" destroyed your nation so they could take your stuff?</p><p>In Afghanistan, the conflict was over access to the same crude oil and rare earth minerals, and the reason for getting involved in the conflict was supposedly to help the "plight" of the Afghan people. Certainly Afghanistan was in a troubled spot then- nobody can deny this- but its situation worsened significantly after the Americans became involved because in order for us to wage a proxy war against the Russians, we gave advanced weaponry and special forces military training to the various Islamic militant groups that dotted the country, and thus we created the Taliban.</p><p style="text-align: center"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/taliban.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-110115" height="188" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/taliban-300x188.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/taliban-300x188.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/taliban-768x481.jpg 768w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/taliban-1024x641.jpg 1024w" width="300" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center">American "freedom fighters" in Afghanistan, or the Taliban</p><p>Remember how after the Russians were defeated and the Taliban took control they began their massive purge against their own people which destroyed what was built of Afghan society and turned it into an Islamic cesspool. This was directly caused by US actions, but it did not matter to the US because the purpose was to keep the Russians out so our interests might benefit from that nation's resources without any regard for the people who live there.</p><p style="text-align: center"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/donald-rumsfeld-shakes-saddam-hussein-hand.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-110114" height="232" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/donald-rumsfeld-shakes-saddam-hussein-hand-300x232.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/donald-rumsfeld-shakes-saddam-hussein-hand-300x232.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/donald-rumsfeld-shakes-saddam-hussein-hand-768x595.jpg 768w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/donald-rumsfeld-shakes-saddam-hussein-hand.jpg 948w" width="300" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center">Donald Rumsfeld, remember this?</p><p>Iraq was a similar case. Remember that the USA once upon a time was BEST FRIENDS with Saddam Hussein because he was fighting a war against the Iranians (who were backed by the Russians), and after the Iraq-Iran war of the 1980s (at the same time President Reagan was arming the Taliban), we then turned our backs of Saddam after he refused to submit to US demands. The result was the Persian Gulf war of 1991 and the subsequent US blockade on Iraq that caused millions to starve to death and greatly weakened the nation's ability to survive. This is not to mention the use of highly destructive weapons such as bombs contained depleted uranium that poisoned large groups of the population and have caused long-term health problems.</p><p>Remember that when we went to war against Saddam, we accused him of using chemical weapons and specifically, poison gas against the Kurdish people. Now there is a considerable body of evidence on this which proves that Saddam, while he did mistreat the Kurds, did so as much as he needed to in order to prevent a rebellion in his own nation as the Kurds were constantly threatening to secede and form their own state of Kurdistan. Most importantly, it seems that when he did use chemical weapons, his targets were against the Iranians (who also used chemical weapons against the Iraqis), and that it is highly unlikely he ever carried out any intentional "gas attacks" against his own people.</p><p>Likewise, fast forward to the Middle East in 2001 with the "September 11th attacks." We know for a fact that for many years, Osama Bin Laden was a CIA asset- after all, his Taliban was created by the CIA to serve their ends. Does it really make sense that *suddenly* this man who we know and have been working with for almost two decades suddenly can pull off a massive, coordinated attack against major American targets and nobody in the government knew ANYTHING?</p><p>The more questions one asks about 9/11 the more questions naturally arise, but all of the questions ultimately have one generic answer that can be accounted for, and that is 9/11 was a complete set up that was more an internal job than an external one. It was the successful execution of the concept of Operation Northwoods in which a Islamic threat was supported, encouraged, and directly aided in carrying out its intentions so that the government could use it in order to justify military expansion into the Middle East, beginning again in Afghanistan and spreading to Iraq and the neighboring states.</p><p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/ErlDSJHRVMA?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'></iframe></span></p><p style="text-align: center">Watch Colin Powell lie to the world to start a war of aggression</p><p>When the US invaded Iraq again in "Operation Enduring Freedom"/Persian Gulf II, we did so under the guise of accusing Saddam Hussein of having "weapons of mass destruction" and "selling yellowcake uranium to terrorist groups." Both of these charges were proven to be patently false- they were outright lies that the US government under then Secretary of State Colin Powell spouted off before the entire world like a used car salesman making a pitch to sell a worthless car to a prospective buyer, and they were told because Saddam did not want to support the US. These lies were used as the basis to invade Iraq, murder Saddam, and set up a "friendly" government in his place, again, without any regard for the people of Iraq.</p><p>Muammar Gaddhafi of Libya suffered the same fate. Slandered and libeled in the American media, Gaddhafi was a hard but good ruler who looked out for the good of his people and even those in Europe who did not like him. It was Gaddhafi who killed Islamic terrorists and prevented massed of people from crossing his borders illegally.

We have shown how major industrial, charitable, and non-governmental organizations have been working directly with the governments of the West to bring millions of people into Europe as a part of lucrative contracts. The intention of this is to destabilized Europe so that the crisis can be used as a justification for starting a massive war to revive National Socialism in nothing less than a massive, raw power grab by Germany and her allies, especially Turkey, against Russia. Gaddhafi was an obstacle to this because he actually cared about people- European, Arab, and African- and his refusal to allow America and Germany to do what they want was why he was murdered.</p><p style="text-align: center"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/armenian_genocide6.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-110122" height="215" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/armenian_genocide6-300x215.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/armenian_genocide6-300x215.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/armenian_genocide6.jpg 600w" width="300" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center">An Ottoman Turkish official taunting starving Armenian Christians with a piece of bread during the genocide of 1917.

Just like with the Taliban model, America has employed the use of funded-and-armed-and-trained terrorists at US taxpayer expense in the form of ISIS. Again, we at Shoebat.com have spent a long time showing through many sources how the CIA created ISIS with the help of the Turks and the Saudis. We do not care about the fact that Christianity in Iraq and much of Syria has been completely annihilated, and that those people went through a genocide. All we cared about is the execution of the policy.</p><p style="text-align: center"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Syrian-president-Bashar-al-Assad-with-Russian-president-Vladimir-Putin-oct-20-2015-Reuters.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-110116" height="240" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Syrian-president-Bashar-al-Assad-with-Russian-president-Vladimir-Putin-oct-20-2015-Reuters-300x240.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Syrian-president-Bashar-al-Assad-with-Russian-president-Vladimir-Putin-oct-20-2015-Reuters-300x240.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Syrian-president-Bashar-al-Assad-with-Russian-president-Vladimir-Putin-oct-20-2015-Reuters.jpg 450w" width="300" /></a></p><p>Now that attempts to get rid of Asad have failed, and the USA has tried seven times now to condemn Asad on baseless charges of "gassing his own people" just like with Saddam and the Russians and Chinese have stood against it, this recent incident is being used as justification to engage in direct war in Syria. As we pointed out, the evidence is clear that just like with Saddam, the damage from the chemical weapons were the secondhand and accidental effects of destroying those same weapons which were in the hands of ISIS- a.k.a. America's Islamic terrorist army. However, the government is just like with the overthrow of Mossadegh in Iran for "freedom, just like with the charges of Saddam and gassing his people in the 1980s, just like with the support of the "freedom fighters" in Afghanistan against the Soviets, just like with the again baseless charges of "yellowcake uranium" against saddam in 2003, just like with the charges against Gaddhafi in Libya, all are baldfaced lies that no amount of lying can hide.</p><p>Fourth, the fact is that all of these interests do not give so much as a thought about anybody except themselves and what benefits them.</p><p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/qh_fUMgFomk?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'></iframe></span></p><p style="text-align: center"><span style="text-decoration: underline">A Christmas Carol</span> with George C.

Fortunately, after being shown the evils of his actions and how it is leading to the death of others and including himself, he turns his life around at the end and chooses to live for good.

Any "humanitarian" aid we give as a government is done with a political intention in mind and no regard if it actually helps people or not because we view men as material chesspieces that we can move, replace, or destroy as we see if for our own ends. It is a complete Darwinist philosophy which uses "patriotism" and in the case of some conservative Christians, "Christianity" as a cover for what is the demonic manipulation of men's life for private gain.</p><p>Fifth, this is all happening around Fatima and at the same time that a major commander from NATO himself <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2016/05/23/prophecy-alert-former-top-nato-commander-says-world-war-iii-with-russia-begins-may-2017/">said last year </a>that World War III would start around this time.</p><p style="text-align: center"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/childrenoffatima.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-110118" height="211" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/childrenoffatima-300x211.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/childrenoffatima-300x211.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/childrenoffatima.jpg 593w" width="300" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center">The three <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://fatima.org/">Fatima </a>seers.

Lucia dos Santos, that the consecration of Fatima was to be done in the same example of the consecration of France to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. As I noted in my <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2016/05/23/prophecy-alert-former-top-nato-commander-says-world-war-iii-with-russia-begins-may-2017/">article</a>:</p><blockquote><p>1)The Fatima revelations began in May 2017. This is basic historical knowledge about the events.</p><p>2)Sr. Lucia herself said that if Fatima was not consecrated, the Pope would follow the example of the “error of the King of France,” which refers to the fact that on June 17, 1689 St. Margaret Mary Alacoque was told that the King of France had to have France consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and he had 100 years to do so. He did not, and <strong>on that exact day- June 17, 1789- 100 years later, was when the king was stripped of his power and the French Revolution began:</strong></p><blockquote><p>As Sr. Lucia said in a message she received from Our Lady in 1931:<em>“Make it known to My ministers that, given they follow the example of the King of France in delaying the execution of My command, they will follow him into misfortune. It will never be too late to have recourse to Jesus and Mary.”</em></p><p>As one <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.keepingitcatholic.org/blog/index.blog/1747740/fatima-message-the-example-of-the-king-of-france-do-we-have-less-than-10-years-left/"><span style="color: #1f65b3">Catholic blogger, writing nine years ago notes</span></a>:</p><p><em>Like the Kings of France who disobeyed the heavenly King’s command by delaying the solemn consecration of France for 100 years, the ministers of the Lord who do the same in regard to the collegial consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary “will follow the French king into misfortune.”</em></p></blockquote><p>3)The Third Secret, while the text is not known, is said to have the same- <strong>but more dire</strong>– message as Our Lady of Akita in 1971. The Message of Akita is that if man does not turn from his sin, the world would be destroyed by fire</p></blockquote><p>How interesting it is that May 2017 marks the 100th anniversary of the first apparitions of Fatima.</p><p style="text-align: center"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/kaliningrad-map.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-110117" height="225" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/kaliningrad-map-300x225.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/kaliningrad-map-300x225.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/kaliningrad-map-768x576.jpg 768w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/kaliningrad-map.jpg 800w" width="300" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center">Kaliningrad, Russia and its place in the Baltic nations. Formerly the German territory of Konigsberg, it is a hotly contested area between Germany and Russia and into and around which both America and Russia have been moving nuclear weapons.</p><p>If that was not enough, recall how I wrote last year that a major NATO commander said that World War III would begin following a conflict in Russia over the Baltic nations:</p><blockquote><p><strong>A startling claim that the west is on course for war with Russia has been delivered by the former deputy commander of Nato, the former British general Sir Alexander Richard Shirreff.</strong></p><p><strong>In a book published on Wednesday, 2017 War With Russia, Shirreff argues that the events in Crimea have destroyed the post-cold-war settlement and set the stage for conflict, beginning next year.</strong></p><p>In a chilling scenario, he predicts that Russia, in order to escape what it believes to be encirclement by Nato, will seize territory in eastern Ukraine, open up a land corridor to Crimea and invade the Baltic states.</p><p>Shirreff, who was deputy supreme allied commander Europe from 2011 to 2014 and before that served in Northern Ireland, Iraq and the Balkans, is risking his reputation by making such a bold prediction. But he claims his narrative is closely modelled on his Nato experience of war-gaming future conflicts.</p><p><strong>His scenario is specific, naming Latvia as the first of the Baltic countries to be invaded, in May next year. Such specifics open him to potential ridicule.</strong></p></blockquote><p>Might I also add that for the past year, as I have been <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2016/10/09/lightning-strikes-the-top-of-the-vatican-as-russia-moves-nuclear-ready-weapons-into-historically-contested-german-territory-world-war-iii-is-upon-us-shoebat-sunday-special/">documenting</a>, America and Germany have been building up weapons in Latvia right next to the Russian territory of Kaliningrad, which is historically a hotly contested area between Russia and Germany:</p><blockquote><p>Konigsberg is called Kaliningrad today and is a part of Russia because Russia took it from Germany after World War II and renamed it after Stalin’s good friend and political ally Mihail Kalinin. They attempted to destroy most of the prior German presence in the city but could not. Kaliningrad is unique in Russia, for it is both a city (город) and administrative region (область), and like when it was a German possession, it is the only part of Russia that is not physically connected to the Russian mainland.</p><p>Kaliningrad is an unspoken but contested area between Germany and Russia because it is by its history and identity up until World War II a proper German territory that was annihilated by the Russian communists and is still held by Russia today, and for the most part Russia yesterday and today has allowed Kaliningrad to fall from being a once beautiful and highly developed area into a dump filled with disease and misery.</p><p>...</p><p>Americans have a very short historical memory, but people in the “old world” not as much. Kaliningrad is still Konigsberg to the German nationalist mind, and as Russia is properly upset about America’s recent and hegemonic involvement in Ukraine, Germany is still, albeit silently, highly displeased about watching their ancient city go to Russian hands and then in those same hands turn into a veritable third-world nation.</p></blockquote><p><strong>So after looking at all of these five pieces, what do I see?</strong></p><p>I see that people who voted for Trump did so with good intentions. They did so to stop or mitigate another war. Yet in the past few days since these strikes began, Trump's administration has done more against Asad in Syria than even Obama ever did. I do not say this as an exaggeration- Obama never unilaterally declared war on Asad and then used direct weapons against him, while Trump has. Make no mistake, I believe strongly that Hillary would have done what Trump has done now. However, Trump came as an outsider to politics and promised explicitly and repeatedly that he would not follow in Obama's footsteps.</p><p>People say to give Trump another change. I do not. No president is perfect- I understand this. However, Syria is a huge and pressing issue which he has just betrayed the trust of the people who voted for him on even the most elementary of his promises about in a most flagrant way. Trump is no different than Obama or Bush II in essence, showing himself to follow the Neoconservative policies of his predecessors without any respect for anybody except the industrial and financial interests who want war so they can make more money and take more power through off the lives of others.</p><p style="text-align: center"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/trumpflag.png"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-110119" height="183" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/trumpflag.png" width="275" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center">Fool me once, shame on you.</p><p>I see this policy being followed to its end conclusion, which will be a massive and terrible war. They know this will lead to war, because that is where they want it to go.</p><p>And has hard as it is for me to say, do pray these willing servants of policies born in hell meant to lead men on the path to perdition.

What The Media Is Not Telling You About Who Is Behind The Chemical Attack: Muslim Rebels Were Behind The Chemical Attack And Now The Us Government Is Using It To Justify Bombing Syria

<p><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/tt.jpeg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter wp-image-110080" height="467" sizes="(max-width: 705px) 100vw, 705px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/tt.jpeg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/tt.jpeg 503w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/tt-300x199.jpeg 300w" width="705" /></a></p><p><strong>By Walid Shoebat (Shoebat Exclusive)</strong></p><p>So what is the truth behind this chemical attack that never circulates the western media? Lets examine footage never seen before in the West and the evidence regarding the latest chemical attack narrative from Syria to see who really is behind these alleged 'chemical attacks'.</p><p>Firstly, lets start with the politics. It was Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan who has called on US President <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.alaraby.co.uk/english/news/2017/4/5/trump-turns-against-assad-after-chemical-attack-atrocity-?utm_campaign=magnet&utm_source=article_page&utm_medium=related_articles" target="_blank">Donald Trump</a> to back up his harsh words against Syria with actions, following the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.alaraby.co.uk/english/news/2017/4/5/chemical-attack-evidence-of-syria-war-crimes" target="_blank">deadly chemical attack</a> this week that left scores of people, including children dead.</p><p>"Trump said it was impossible to close your eyes against the Assad regime's hateful actions. Thank you, but don't limit yourself to comments, we need action," Erdogan told Turkey's <em>Kanal 7</em> television.</p><p>"If it truly is a matter of actions, then Turkey is ready to take its responsibilities. We will not back down," he said.</p><p>It was former US president Barack Obama who had also warned Syria that chemical attacks in the country's civil war would cross a "red line", but later refrained from taking military action against the regime.</p><p>As we stated several times, in the U.S. parties change but foreign policy doesn't. So Trump complied to the Islamist's request from Turkey by sending cruise missiles which were fired from a U.S. Navy vessel in the Mediterranean Sea. Their target was the airfield which serves as the base for the warplanes suspected of carrying out the chemical attack.</p><p>Two Republican senators are calling on President Donald Trump to take out Syria's air force as part of a swift and forceful response.</p><p>"Hit this guy," Graham said of Assad. "You've got my full permission." <a class="r_lapi" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/us/john-mccain.htm">John McCain</a> of Arizona, who spoke to Trump on Wednesday, and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said in a statement Thursday that Syrian President Bashar Assad "has crossed a line" and "must pay a punitive cost for this horrific attack."</p><p>But what is the truth from the ground and what is going to be the results of all of this. Here, in Syria demonstrators that condemn the alleged chemical attack shout <em>Al-Sha'b yurid Khilafa Islamiyeh</em>. English: "the people want an Islamic Caliphate":</p><p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/N-BW7yNbWIg?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'></iframe></span></p><p>But what is the truth behind this chemical attack that never circulates the western media that we obtained from Middle Eastern sources?</p><p><em>Khan Sheikhoun</em>, where the attack happened was a hewn mountain with tunnels and impenetrable bunkers. Definitely a major hiding place for manufacturing weapon supplies for the Islamist rebels on a major scale. It is a "warehouse used to both produce and store shells containing toxic gas" as Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Major-General Igor Konashenkov said.</p><p>Photos of the place and a video combines both scenes from the attack.

This is a coalition of Islamist and Salafist units involved in the Syrian Civil War. The group along with <a class="mw-redirect" title="Ahrar ash-Sham" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahrar_ash-Sham">Ahrar ash-Sham</a> are the main rebel groups supported by <a title="Saudi Arabia" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Arabia">Saudi Arabia</a>. Liwa al-Islam was established by <a title="Zahran Alloush" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zahran_Alloush">Zahran Alloush</a>, the son of Saudi-based religious scholar <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaysh_al-Islam">Mohammed Alloush</a> who is currently residing in Turkey and is aided by it.</p><p>One clue that reveal these knew of the attack prior to it happening was that Alloush blundered a tweet showing about the types of symptoms caused by the gas claiming it caused "heart failure for five hours". It is possible however to have a coma because of the inhalation of chlorine gas and other chemicals. How he knew what chemical agent was used before any investigation remains a mystery.</p><p>Also, another source of these leaked reports is the social media accounts of Syrian propaganda journalist Feras Karam, who writes for the Syrian oppositionist website Orient News. Karam before the day of the attack tweeted all journalists to prep for the major media campaign to expose Syria's use of chemical attacks. How would he have known of an impending attack prior to the event remains a mystery.</p><p>https://twitter.com/feraskaram01/status/849050540323594240</p><p>Text of the tweet states "tomorrow is the campaign coverage the extent of the air raids in Hama and the use of <strong>poisonous chlorine</strong> against civilians" Dated April 3, 7:06 PM. This was definitely before when the chemical incident happened.</p><p>All this plus other reports reveal Turkey was involved:</p><p><iframe src="//www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/x5hc7n8?start=15" width="480" height="270" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><br /><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5hc7n8_syria-reject-allegations-of-using-chemical-arms_news?start=140" target="_blank">Syria reject allegations of using chemical arms</a> <i>by <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.dailymotion.com/presstv" target="_blank">presstv</a></i></p><p>So now we come to the million dollar question that no serious 'analyst' can answer. The Syrian government has achieved significant gains, while its rebel adversaries are largely in disarray. It has taken back the cities of Aleppo and Homs, and was on the cusp of negotiating issues of aid and reconstruction with world powers under the aegis of the U.N. Assad was getting a clean slate. Why would Assad risk it all by carrying out a chemical attack?</p><p>Or is it that the rebels were done with and they needed an ace from under Turkey's sleeve?

Donald Trump Just Ordered Military Strikes Against Syria, Dozens Of Missiles Just Struck Syria

<p>Donald Trump ordered an airstrike on Syria, and dozens of missiles just struck a Syrian base. I did a whole video on this:</p><p><iframe src="http://shoebattube.com/player/embed_player.php?vid=1363&width=660&height=440&autoplay=no" width="660" height="440" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p><p>According to <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.reuters.com/article/us-mideast-crisis-syria-idUSKBN1782S0">one report:</a></p><blockquote><p>U.S President Donald Trump said on Thursday he ordered a targeted military strike against an airfield in Syria from which a deadly chemical attack was launched this week.</p><p>U.S. officials said the military launched dozens of cruise missile strikes against an airbase controlled by Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad's forces in response to the chemical attack on Tuesday in a rebel-held area.</p><p>Facing his biggest foreign policy crisis since taking office in January, Trump took the toughest direct U.S. action yet in Syria's six-year-old civil war, raising the risk of confrontation with Russia and Iran, Assad's two main military backers.</p><p>Some 50 Tomahawk missiles were launched from U.S. Navy warships in the Mediterranean Sea, striking multiple targets - including the airstrip, aircraft and fuel stations - on an airbase in Homs, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity.</p><p>Further details and damage estimates from the strikes, which were conducted at 8:45 p.m. EDT (0045 GMT Friday), were not immediately known.</p><p>Trump ordered the strikes just a day after he pointed the finger at Assad for this week's chemical attack, which killed at least 70 people, many of them children, in the Syrian town of Khan Sheikhoun. The Syrian government has denied it was behind the attack.</p><p>Trump appeared to have opted for measured and targeted air attacks instead of a full-blown assault on Assad's forces and installations.</p><p>Trump, who was attending a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping at his Florida resort, said earlier on Thursday that "something should happen" with Assad but did not specifically call for his ouster.</p><p>Officials from the Pentagon and State Department met all day to discuss plans for the missile strikes.</p><p>U.S. military action put the new president at odds with Russia, which has air and ground forces in Syria after intervening there on Assad's side in 2015 and turning the tide against mostly Sunni Muslim rebel groups.</p><p>Trump has until now focused his Syria policy almost exclusively on defeating Islamic State militants in northern Syria, where U.S. special forces are supporting Arab and Kurdish armed groups.</p><p>The risks have grown worse since 2013, when Barack Obama, Trump's predecessor, considered and then rejected ordering a cruise missile strike in response to the use of chemical weapons by Assad's loyalists.</p></blockquote>

Iraqi Christian Doctor Opens His Home And Saves 50 People From ISIS Terrorists

<p style="text-align: center"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/iraqi-christian-family.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-110064" height="161" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/iraqi-christian-family-300x161.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/iraqi-christian-family-300x161.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/iraqi-christian-family.jpg 590w" width="300" /></a></p><p>While ISIS has been slaughtering Christians and turned Iraq into an Islamic wasteland, some Christians have stayed behind, braving the conflict to try and save others.</p><p>In one story coming out of Iraq, Christian doctor Dr. Bashar Alsaqat has opened the doors of his home to and cares for now 50 people fleeing persecution by ISIS. Not only has the good doctor helped save Christian lives, he has also demonstrated the difference between Christian and Islamic charity, as he has used his medical skills to save the lives of ISIS terrorists wounded in battle:</p><blockquote><p>The family of a Christian doctor who's using his talents to save the lives of wounded Islamic State fighters and others injured in the conflict have opened up their home to about 50 Iraqis displaced from their homes when the brutal terror group took control in parts of Iraq.</p><p>In an interview with the broadcast news outlet Rome Reports, the Iraqi Christian family explained that even though hundreds of thousands of other Christians in Northern Iraq have fled from their homes, they chose to stay and serve.</p><p>Bashar Alsaqat, who is a doctor, said they wanted to stay and help their fellow Iraqis who were left with no place to go.</p><p>"ISIS arrived in 2014. Everyone fled from the Plain of Nineveh, but we decided to stay," he said. "I am a doctor and my wife is a teacher, and we stayed to serve our people."</p><p>Nabeela Jahola explained in the interview that the family even decided to allow their displaced brothers and sisters to seek refuge in their own home. She then described the sacrifices her family has made to help those less fortunate.</p><p>"It's been a little difficult. Instead of cooking for four, I have to cook for 50," Jahola, Alsaqat's wife, was quoted as saying. "We have given up our bed and have gotten mattresses for the others. We must get up early to buy food for all these people. They came at night and we felt the need to help them, to feed them and to provide a bed where they can sleep."</p><p>Internally displaced people are not the only ones this family has helped. Alsaqat explained that he has experience healing many different types of battle wounds, but one of the hardest challenges he has faced is trying to persuade doctors he has worked with to treat wounded IS (also known as ISIL, ISIS, or Deash) fighters they encounter.</p><p>"The most difficult thing is to convince my colleagues to operate on patients from ISIS," Alsaqat said. "They look at them like the enemy. But, I try to convince them that this man is a human being. That's why we have to help them, even if the operation lasts two or three hours."</p><p>According to Rome Reports, the family belongs to the Focolare Movement, which operates in over 182 countries around the world and promotes unity and universal brotherhood, and were in Europe to share their experiences and testimony.</p><p>They were also able to visit the Vatican and see Pope Francis, which they said has given them hope as they go back to conflict-ridden Iraq.</p><p>Alsaqat and his colleagues aren't the only Christians saving the lives of Islamic State fighters in Iraq. The evangelical humanitarian organizations Samaritan's Purse has been operating a field hospital just outside of Mosul since the beginning of the year and have saved dozens, if not hundreds, of lives.

Just as a medical doctor tries to save those who come to him for assistance, so does Christ reach out try to save those who others would call hopelessly lost, including terrorists such as those with ISIS. As we have reported before, there are many former ISIS terrorists who have abandoned Islam and turned to Christ after having visions and miracles just like with what happened to St. Paul before his conversion.</p><p style="text-align: center"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Lepicie-Nicolas-Bernard-Conversion-of-St-Paul.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-110063" height="300" sizes="(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Lepicie-Nicolas-Bernard-Conversion-of-St-Paul-240x300.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Lepicie-Nicolas-Bernard-Conversion-of-St-Paul-240x300.jpg 240w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Lepicie-Nicolas-Bernard-Conversion-of-St-Paul.jpg 300w" width="240" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center">The conversion of St. Paul</p><p><strong>As a man lives, there is always hope for even the worst of sinners.</strong></p>

Police from the Omdurman Central Division along with a group supported by Sudan’s Ministry of Guidance and Religious Endowment arrived at the school first and arrested all the men in an attempt to hand it over to the businessman, they said.</p><p>Advocacy group Middle East Concern (MEC) confirmed that after the arrests, about 20 men, including members of a committee the government has illegally imposed on the SPEC, arrived at the school with knives and other weapons and began to beat the women.</p><p>“Several men from the nearby Bahri Evangelical Church rushed to the church to try and protect the women,” MEC leaders said in a statement. “The armed men attacked them, and two church members were stabbed.”</p><p>Elder Abdullah later died of his injuries, and a second church member, Ayoub Kumama, was treated at a nearby hospital and has been released, according to MEC.</p><p>Abdullah is survived by his wife and two young children.</p><p>Since 2013, the illegally imposed committee has been selling church properties to businessmen aligned with the government, the advocacy group stated.</p><p>Police were present during the attack on the school but failed to intervene, according to MEC.</p><p>“They also failed to help Younan after he was stabbed,” MEC leaders said in the statement. “Following Younan’s death, the police arrested Mr. Shamshoun Hamoud, a member of the illegal committee who was identified by eyewitnesses as the person who stabbed Younan. None of the other attackers have been arrested.”</p><p>Christians held a funeral service for Abdullah yesterday (April 4) at the school, which had declared three days of mourning. The U.S. Ambassador to Sudan and the Second Secretary of the British Embassy were present, according to MEC.</p><p>Police in Omdurman, across from Khartoum on the Nile River, on March 27 had arrested 12 staff members of the Christian school and the next day prevented others from leaving the campus, they said.</p><p>They were taken to Omdurman’s central division police station and released at about 8 p.m., accused of obstructing the work of Education Vision, which is trying to take over the school. The institution is still functioning as a Christian school, but representatives of Education Vision are regularly disrupting classes, school personnel said.</p><p>On March 16 about 20 policemen aboard a truck forcefully entered the school compound, arrested three Christian teachers including the headmaster, Daud Musa, and took them to Omdurman’s central division police station, sources said. Also arrested were Christian teachers Yahya Elias and elder Abdullah, all of the SPEC.</p><p>They were released on bail after eight hours, charged with obstructing the work of those attempting to take over the school.</p><p>The arrests came nearly a month after authorities arrested and held overnight four educators from the same school, including Musa, before releasing them on bail. They were accused of destroying a sign belonging to Education Vision. The Christians strongly denied the accusation.</p><p>The Evangelical School of Sudan is one of several SPEC schools throughout Sudan.
