Is that true though? Until I actually see pictures of them there I won’t be sure. I think it would be a good thing for China to join the fight against Daesh. After all the rise of more terrorism leads the way to terrorism on China’s Western border. But still,until China “officially” announces they are joining against ISIS I’m not convinced.
I’m with ya Bob. Someone’s having their cake and eating it too. Would be nice but let’s see the proof.

What the hell is going on? I posted several comments none of them violated any guidelines and none of them went thru? What gives whose the moderator on staff today?
You too huh?
Dear moderator same thing been happening to me. Can you tell us what’s going on? Do you Gus use a spam filter?
Any response on why comments are not coming thru?
Silence is the rock where I shall stand.
judith-wright-1The silence between this and the next breath,
That might be—is not yet—death;
the silence between lover and lover
that neither flesh nor mind bridge over;
the silence between word and word,
in which the truth waits to be heard;
the silence between world and world
in which the promise first was sealed;
the heart’s silence between beat and beat,
in which myself and silence meet.
Silence is the rock where I shall stand.
Oh, when I strike it with my hand
may the artesian waters spring
from that dark source I long to find.
“why comments are not coming thru?”
Probably “TR” is on duty the whole day today, that adolescent “filters out” anything he personally dislikes, ignores totally Saker’s rules. Definitely not your brightest star in the constellation…
There does seem to be a glitch that keeps rearing up, I have no idea what it is. TR went of about 5 hours ago, I have been here forthe last 2.5 hours and I have not binned or banned anything. We had this last night and a poster was able to find he had so addressed it that it went into Spam. Can you check your settings, addresses etc. I will check in spam again. I assure you nothing has been banned at least for about 5.5. hours. mod PS
Dear mod PS,
Thank you very much indeed for your explanation!
Well, I tried to post this *same* “What else…” message the *first* time at about 20:27 UTC, and surely – TR banned it… The above one, which you kindly let through, is my *second* attempt of the same. My remark in it is regarding something I noticed over months (!) – and found it opportune to mention it only now.
Again, thank you for your explanation, and for letting my message through.
China has done none of the above movements of ships, troops, etc, so called reported.
Totally BS.
They have no intention of fighting on the ground in Syria. Russia has not fought on the ground in Syria. Russia does have special forces but not regular troops or even specialized anti-terror troops there. China would not go into Syria. It would more likely go into Iraq where it has oil investments and infrastructure projects. But even in Iraq, it has not put troops. It has some security guards.
China has not moved to Afghanistan or Pakistan, two places it might use troops well before the ME region.
This report and the ones its “talks” about are pure bullshit.
And the reorganization of the Military under Xi is political consolidation. He is obsessed with iron grasp on all forces of power in China. He is going back to the days of CPC ideological positioning as the economy and society are moved more and more “open” and “reformed”. He wants both, simultaneously.
The Chinese will fight in two places. Taiwan and East China Sea. They probably would not even try to fight in the South China Sea because that by definition is a naval war and they would be blown away by the US Navy.
China needs to bleed its forces, to gain real experience. But it is not going to war in Syria.
Total fiction.
Look at the slow motion ground war with Syrian troops plus Hezbollah and Russian AF. How are the Chinese who don’t have any experience fighting any kind of war anywhere going to go find 300 Uyghurs? How would they do against Al Nustra or any AQ group, or ISIS?
Please, get real.
As for their aircraft carrier. It carries about 20 planes and cannot fight against any kind of land targets near China much less from the Mediterranean. It is a training platform.
This report is for the totally ignorant. If you know nothing and believe anything, you have your information packaged for you by Press TV, who by the way published the original reports they then use to bolster this packaged video.
Breaking News: China invades California from its super stealth submarines (400 of them), and overruns Los Angeles declaring So Cal China’s eastern most province. More news on the hour.
I seen pics of some Chinese and Russians with the SAA.. They do allow you to join the Syrian military.. Well so does the US..
Only the terrorists have Chinese weapons so china is not even sending weapons like Russia is.. Both Bulgaria and china are selling weapons to gcc who send them to Syria.
Oh china sold a ton of weapons to Iraq including armed drones.. Guess the Iraqi’s got tired of waiting of the US to supply them…
yes, I kind of agree with you on all counts…
Like many others have commented here I will believe this story when I see actual Chinese boots on the ground.
In the meantime it has emerged that the majority of tourists killed in the Istanbul suicide bombing were Germans, 8 Germans killed and another 9 wounded according to RT News. Coincidence ?, coming on top of what happened in Cologne and other German cities on new years eve I personally don’t think so. Germany is under fire same as France was in 2015. Is someone sending the political “leadership” of Germany a message to toe the party line and not to step out of line otherwise this is what is going to happen in your country ? The Germans have been making a few growling noises towards the Saudis of late regarding their support of terrorist vermin. I wonder.
First Erdogan claimed the suicide bomber was Syrian (that would help him as an excuse to intervene more in Syria). But now the reports say the bomber was a Saudi. That should harm or actually destroy tourism in Turkey. First they wreck their tourism industry with Russia. Now killing EU citizens may end that tourism as well. What kind of an idiot do you need to be to expose your family and yourself to being blown-up vacationing in Turkey.
In other news the Iranian military took took into custody 2 small US navy ships that were in Iranian waters (accident or spying is unclear). The US says they mistakenly went into Iranian waters,and wants them released. The Iranians said they would release the crews of 10 (9 men and 1 woman) . But for now they are in custody. I’m not sure if they meant they would return the boats as well,or just the crews.
It is safe to assume that western tourists will largely avoid predominantly Muslim countries from now on. Very bad for Egypt in particular, as they are in the process of finishing that amazing processional way (avenue of the sphinxes) between Luxor temple and Karnak, an extremely expensive undertaking. Egypt has traditionally been a multi-cultural society since ancient times, but the Muslim Brotherhood has a very large footprint as of late. Australia has nice beaches; the tourists will go there.
I’d prolly believe at least a sentence or 2, if only the dude didn’t resemble Glenn Shrekk.

I think what we are seeing in that report,and what Jeff Brown was saying are different. He didn’t mention anything in his comments there about what the report is saying. I’m pretty sure the questions asked him ,which we don’t hear in the report. And his answers were edited to fit their story. Inserting them after they say something. But what they said could be totally different to what he was asked. In his final words he uses the word “if”, he wasn’t confirming that China was sending troops. Its an old news trick to spin a person’s words in an interview, to fit what you want it to say. We’ve had interviews and articles by Jeff on the blog before. And I’ve never seen him come out with the type of comments that video makes it look like he is saying.
Has anyone asked the question yet whose interests are served by this obvious fabrication?
Busted again.
Iran Has US Navy GPS Equipment, Will Prove ‘American Ships Were Snooping’
Read more: http://sputniknews.com/world/20160113/1033028625/Iran-US-navy-ships-detained-GPS.html
Iran’s semiofficial Fars new agency reported the two US Navy boats detained in the Persian Gulf had illegally traveled more than a mile into Iran’s territorial waters, and that GPS equipment confiscated by Islamic Revolutionary Guards Navy forces would “prove that the American ships were ‘snooping’ around in Iranian waters.”
What else would two ships 8000 miles away from home be doing in Iran’s territory?
Fishing?
The Establishment is so desperate for war. I’m going to speculate that this U.S. boat unit was probably set up to trigger a false flag, and the crew knowingly thwarted the narrative that the Pentagon wanted. (the Pentagon made the announcement to the media) What other purpose would there be? Can you imagine if them “darn Iranians” captured or killed “our boys”?
Watch the mainstream media (Fox News, Washington Post etc) turn on these guys (I bet true patriots) because they did the one thing that they can’t forgive…the crew apologized.
It was setup to show just what good chums the US/Iranian elite are becoming.
US Army Orders $900Mln on Chemical, Biological War Projects
Read more: http://sputniknews.com/us/20160113/1033032330/us-army-order-chemical-projects.html
“The US Army has awarded 17 companies, including major corporations, $900 million in contracts for logistics and service support for biological and chemical war projects, the Department of Defense announced.”
Daesh needs their wmds and zionazia’s pindo puppets were too sloppy last time around. They need to boost security to keep those pesky Russians finding out the planning.
This OT, but I think quite interesting.
Say What? People Who Swear and Curse Are Smarter – Study

G<^=¥%*, I must be a f(#*•/@~ genius then. ;D
More seriously, in Russia cursing is considered more socially unacceptable than in the U.S., yet in Russia, cursing, in the form of mat, can express a high degree of creativity and wit. This reinforces the findings of the language research described in the article.
Also, Carl Sagan wrote a book about the human mind back in the 70’s where in one section he described language research with chimpanzees. The research showed they used curse words. So cursing probably predates human language.
Fluency is the key. Any effing twit can use ten or twelve expletives but deployment of more than the bare minimum requires an arsenal (see that?) sadly absent in the majority of the population. The expression “les f*offs ” has replaced “les Rosbifs ” in French stereotypology, for some reason
:(
As Wittgenstein put it, mas o menos, the limits of a person’s language = the limits of that person’s world.

Will China Take Over US Military Facility in Djibouti? August 21, 2015
http://thediplomat.com/2015/08/will-china-take-over-us-military-facility-in-djibouti/
“Djibouti reportedly ordered the U.S. to vacate the Obock military base so that it can be turned over the People’s Liberation Army.”
— and
The United States’ actual permanent base in Djibouti is at Camp Lemonnier; Obock is a port city with an existing airport and naval pier.
Djibouti ordered? Haha.
They are carving up the pie. China and the US will both have bases in Djibouti. This is the new great game and there is no soup for you!
Face it folks, globalists think we are idiots. All official media works together to hold up the lie. Everything is fake, meant to control what you think. Day and night fake, Fake Chinese troops, fake refugees, fake mass rape, fake Paris, fake Orgeon, fake stand offs in the South China Sea, fake Yemen, fake 9/11, fake, fake, fake. This is how globalist gangsterism rolls and love him or hate him, Putin is definitely respectful of the charade. He may have no choice but it was only last year he supposedly put his stamp on RT. If he had your liberation in mind he would’ve started long ago. Perhaps he only helps the people who help themselves, like the people of Syria but everyone has golden-green visions of a new NWO. It can’t be denied. With the prospect of sanctions being lifted plus a Saudi implosion, Iranian drool could refill the Sea of Azov.
Uncle Bob made many good suggestions in an earlier thread about what can be done. For me they boil down to forcing the globalists to watch us instead of us watching them. We hate moving our thoughts in this direction because it reminds us of our responsibility. This used to depress me but now I see it more positively. By the time we are ready to do something everyone will already know everything we are told is a lie. The refugee rape scenario is one bridge too far. The AngloZionists and their Eurocretin satraps are ready with their repressive tactics but all of it will implode. It is going to unravel and we should be ready.
When it does it is our task to make sure we don’t run with the mob that is following its nose. Again and again we must patiently explain that everthing we are told by officialdom is a lie. We must not let ourselves be turned against one another. We will punish those responsible and take back everything they have stolen. It starts with taking back the real estate between our ears. Immanent or transcendent I don’t care. Let us make ourselves into the rock on which the oligarchs are broken. Never again can such a small group of people be allowed to aquire and wield so much power.
“Uncle Bob made many good suggestions in an earlier thread about what can be done.”
I don’t think he did http://thesaker.is/saker-podcast-11-ideas-from-a-distant-past/comment-page-1/#comment-197987
Can you give any better?
So how about you giving some ideas of your own. Don’t be bashful now. I’ll try not to behave like you do, and just criticize you.
I have posted a reply on that other thread.
What I do know is that citizen’s shouting in front of the gestapo is worse than futile.
What could really help is probably better not discussed on an open forum.
I read your other post. It didn’t provide ideas either. So once again you prove to be without ideas ,other than to criticize (BTW that old gambit of “best not discussed”,etc,etc. Is only a nice way to get around actually committing to saying something.I’ve heard that all before.).

“If the police attack you,fight back like we saw in Ukraine.”
The difference is the guys that fought back had the backing of a colour revolution and the most powerful deep state ever known.
Anywhere else and you just get pepper-spray which is just less than futile.

“Change (when there is change) always comes from violence.”
Why didn’t you say that in the first place?
I saw your video, anonymous. I recognize the speaker as a voice of official media; one of the best. I think he also sells creme of wheat soup.
Here it is again for those who missed it. The critical part you pointed to starts at 17:15.
Let Your Life Be a Friction to Stop the Machine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2Xh5eN2fXY
Sorry to say, this script was written by someone who wants to discourage you. You’ve taken the bait, preferring to wallow in self pity and learned helplessness.
Let’s deal with the situation as it is. We already know every mass protest movement, political party, etc. is inflitrated or controlled. So why not inflitrate the infiltrators? If the front door is locked then go around back. There is always another way. Make yourself a force. Is not the example of Vladimir Putin the most perfect to emulate? He was a KGB nobody and look where he is now. Each of us must play our part like a Hezbollah fighter. You must be willing to sacrifice and do so in a way that does not strengthen the system. This part is critical. Violence for the sake of violence will do us no good.
Violent self defense, on the other hand, is always legitimate. The best lessons I ever learned came from fighting school yard bullies. If you tuck tail and run you will always be lost.
Do not let yourself be programmed by anything or anyone. Jesus meant you should turn the other cheek in defiance. Every scrapper knows it innately. See how the mob can be made to turn suddenly on your opponent, the common enemy of all empathic people. I’ve seen it happened and not just once. People know what is true and sometimes they forget to be fearful when they see an example of courage. Play your part and be a fighter like him. This is the force that was seized and redirected by corrupted priests all those years ago. When we finally make this connection we will understand why 1500+ years of Christian slavery has not brought us into His Kingdom.
I’m not promising it wil be quick or easy but instead of saying it is hopeless why not make yourself into an agent of change? Become the one who terrifies the oppresor and adversary. Train yourself or mentor the young. Pray. Don’t think next week but 20 or 30 years ahead, at the very least. Opportunities will arise and if you are well prepared you can make use of them.
We should also remember the security services are made of people just like us. We are many while the psychopaths are few. Each of us will have opportunities to break the machine. When we encounter them, we can act if we are prepared.
And here’s my video response.
Mario Savio “The Machine Speech” on The Sproul Hall Steps, December 2, 1964
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJKbDz4EZio
It starts with a change in attitude. The rest is up to us, which is what we say we want: freedom plus awesome responsibility, ain’t that right anonymous guy?
Now see,that is what I’m talking about. Have ideas. Some may work,some may not,but have ideas. And try them out. If you want change ,only “you” can work for that change. Don’t hide behind “we are powerless,we can’t do anything”. Yes,you can do something. Look at the people of Novorossia. If they had said,we are powerless. We just have to accept the fascists in Kiev. But they stood up. Win or lose,history will record that those people fought for their ideals. And you can’t do better than have history say that about you. Right now history is going to say,”yes,the EU knelled to the US and destroyed themselves”. Change that,and do it for yourselves and your people.

“Jesus meant you should turn the other cheek in defiance.”
Have you a better role model? Jesus was a bounder http://thesaker.is/a-small-reminder-and-clarification-i-am-an-alien-really/comment-page-1/#comment-198263
Hezbollah?
Of course that is the answer – but it must be organised on a global basis to be effective.
The psychos may be few but they are extremely motivated, smart (or can buy that) and start with all the power & the money.
Organisation is the key.
How?
I’ll watch that video @ first opportunity – thanks…

i wonder where’ve u been all these yrs when chinese investments in sudan, libya, congo, nigeria…were sabotaged, halted, destroyed by *terrarists* attacks, *ngo* agitation and outright regime change.
are u not aware of africom, whose sole purpose was to reconquer africa and drive out the chinese ?
since then chinese companys have been hemorrhaging rmb by the trillions due to *terrorism* and *civil war.*
any idea who could be the mastermind of these attacks ?
new great game indeed !
Speaking of the plot moving forward:
Towards the collapse of Saudi Arabia
by Thierry Meyssan
http://www.voltairenet.org/article189846.html
The decapitation of Sheikh al-Nimr will have been the straw that broke the camel’s back. The fall of Saudi Arabia is now inevitable because there is no hope left for the people who live there. The country will be plunged into a mixture of tribal revolts and social revolutions which will be far more murderous than the previous Middle-Eastern conflicts.
Far from acting to prevent this tragic end, the US protectors of the kingdom are awaiting it with impatience. They continually praise Prince Mohammed’s « wisdom », as if encouraging him to make even more mistakes. Already in September 2001, the US Committee of the Chiefs of Staff were working on a map for the re-modelling of the « wider Middle East », which planned for the separation of the country into five states. In July 2002, Washington was considering ways of getting rid of the Saud family, during a famous session of the Defense Policy Board. From now on, it’s just a matter of time.
Keep in mind : The United States have managed to solve the question of the succession of King Abdallah, but today, they are attempting to lead Saudi Arabia into error. Their objective is now to divide the countrry into five states.
“China’s Military in Syria?”
There is no need. The Syria War has been decided long ago. Remember that legendary day when the Russians landed in Latakia?
China never does anything in what would perceive to be “rash”. This recent news is “suggesting” they are considering “tip-toeing” into the ME militarily:
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-mideast-idUSKCN0UR1EE20160113
“China is willing to deepen anti-terrorism exchanges and cooperation with Arab countries, set up a security cooperation mechanism effective over a long period, increase policy dialogue and intelligence exchanges, have technical exchanges and personnel training,” the ministry said.
This will allow China and Arab countries to “jointly face the threat from international and regional terrorism”, it added.
However, such moves must respect the charter of the United Nations and the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, the ministry said, outlining the possible limits of any cooperation or Chinese military deployment.
The document also made a passing reference to religious exchanges.
There,not that sounds more like what China would do.
