In cooperation
with the residents, the Syrian army units found a large number of human organs
preserved with "chloroform" inside a hideout for militants in the
village of Al-Ghadfa of Marat al-Numan, south of Idlib.
In the village
of Al-Ghadfa, about 10 km east of Marat al-Numan, one of the doctors had
transformed a house, used by the militants' organizations during their control
over the area as a cache, to a primitive medical laboratory where a large
number of transparent packages were found containing human organs including
head, eyes, hearts, lungs, livers, Kidneys and other viscera kept in chloroform
solution". https://ahtribune.com/world/north-africa-south-west-asia/syria-crisis/4327-preserved-human-organs.html

Publishes a Video Documenting Transferring Syrian Armed Members to “Misrata” The Libyan national army
published a video documenting the transferring process of Syrian armed groups
members by Turkey, the process was done using planes belongs to the African
Libyan airlines, as the plane landed in "Misrata" city. The Libyan army spokesman "Ahmed
al-mesmary" said that "Turkey continues to transfer new batches of
Syrian mercenaries to "Misrata" city west of the country, this thing
is considered a wild challenge for the international demands to calm the
situation and to the cease-fire in the country.
Al-mesmary
added that "what Turkey is doing is a violation of the Arabic and
international decisions which prevent transferring foreign mercenaries and
fighters to Libya", adding that "Turkey is supporting terrorism and
crime in Libya and work to achieve its dreams in controlling the Libyan
geographic region and its wealth as the world spectates and Turkey
expands".
Despite all
international efforts to end the Libyan conflict and to achieve the unity and
safety of the Libyan lands, but Turkey is still continuing its actions and its
blackmailing to obstruct these efforts, as it refused earlier many agreements
to cease-fire as it does not match with its per3 interests to steal the
country's oil wealth. https://ahtribune.com/world/africa/4316-transferring-syrian-armed-members-to-misrata.html
➽➜MSC⇢ Tyranny expert explains how Donald Trump has ‘ceded the election’ but
is creating a crisis to ‘cling to power’
This
week, as the economy revealed that the U.S. GDP cratered, President Donald Trump teased putting a
hold on the November election. While it is unclear if the president was
attempting to distract from the economy in freefall or his falling poll
numbers.
Historian and
expert on authoritarian regimes, Professor Timothy Snyder, authored of On Tyranny: Twenty
Lessons from the Twentieth Century, describing the key ways to spot
authoritarianism.
“Do we have any reason to believe
that Mr. Trump would accept the outcome of the election?” asked the Yale
professor. “The tweet of July 30th was a very clear statement, but he has literally,
dozens of times before said he wouldn’t. There is nothing in his career that
indicates he actually likes democracy. In this particular tweet, we have a
dangerous mixture, where he’s talking about a problem he created himself,
insofar as we do have problems with voting in the U.S. They have to do with
things like African-Americans not being enfranchised, they have to do with the
things of foreign intervention. And even the problems he mentioned, which is
postal voting, which is good and of itself, that might be slowed down because
of his own postmaster general. So, he’s talking about problems he caused
himself, then claiming they’re an emergency, and using that as a reason to
claim power himself. That’s a manufactured emergency and that is, in fact, a
prime historical fascist tactic.” https://www.alternet.org/2020/08/tyranny-expert-explains-how-donald-trump-has-ceded-the-election-but-is-creating-a-crisis-to-cling-to-power/

A➜MSC⇢Damascus condemns
agreement between Qasad Militia, US company on stealing Syrian oil AhlulBayt News
Agency (ABNA): Syria has condemned in the strongest terms the agreement
signed between Qasad militia “SDF” and a U.S. oil company to steal the Syrian
oil, affirming that it considers it null and void and has no legal effect. In a
statement to SANA on Sunday, a Foreign and Expatriates Ministry official source
said that the Syrian Arab Republic condemns in the strongest terms the
agreement signed between Qasad “SDF” militia and a U.S. oil company to steal
the Syrian oil under the sponsorship and support of the U.S. administration.
The source affirmed that this agreement is
considered as an integrated and aggravated theft and it can be only described
as a deal between thieves who are stealing and thieves who are buying, and it
constitutes an assault against Syria’s sovereignty, and a continuation of the
U.S. hostile approach towards Syria which is represented in stealing the
resources of the Syrian people and hindering the efforts exerted by the Syrian
state for rebuilding what has been destroyed by terrorism which is mostly backed
by the U.S. administration itself. The
source added “Syria considers this agreement null and void and has no legal
effect and it warns again that such despicable acts express the approach of
those client militias which have accepted to be a cheap puppet in the hands of
the U.S. occupation.” The source asserted
that those hired militias realize that the brutal American occupation will
inevitably disappear and that it will be defeated like the terrorist groups
which the Syrian state has been able to defeat as the Syrians are able to
protect their resources and to preserve the unity of their country’s
territories and people. https://en.abna24.com/news//damascus-condemns-agreement-between-qasad-militia-us-company-on-stealing-syrian-oil_1059756.html

Edge Of The Narrative Matrix America this is serious: if you re-elect
Trump, you’ll be trapped in a fascist dystopian oligarchy which will keep
robbing you of your rights and wellbeing for the benefit of the powerful and
the wealthy. And it gets even worse: these things will also be true if you
elect Biden. People often ask me for suggestions on how they can learn to
understand the world better. Here is a link to an
article full of tips on how to punch through the obfuscations of propaganda and
make sense of things, and here
is a link to a Twitter list of my
favorite news-gatherers and dot-connecters which you can bookmark and scroll
through daily. Those should get you started. Mainstream media reporters have a
much higher body count than all serial killers and terrorist organizations
combined. They do not deserve respect, and their institutions should not exist.
You are infinitely more qualified to report the news than all the scumbags in
the mass media who are paid by billionaires to parrot government lies. I
mean that 100 percent literally. If you’re not being paid by the wealthy to lie
to the public, you are more qualified to report the news than those who are.

➽BSC➜ ATOMIC BOMBINGS AT 75: John Pilger — Another
Hiroshima is Coming — Unless We Stop It Now
Hiroshima and
Nagasaki were acts of premeditated mass murder unleashing a weapon of intrinsic
criminality. It was justified by lies that form the bedrock of 21st century
U.S. war propaganda, casting a new enemy, and target – China.
By John Pilger
in Sydney, Australia
When I first went to
Hiroshima in 1967, the shadow on the steps was still there. It was an almost
perfect impression of a human being at ease: legs splayed, back bent, one hand
by her side as she sat waiting for a bank to open.
At a quarter past
eight on the morning of August 6, 1945, she and her silhouette were burned into
the granite.
I stared at the
shadow for an hour or more, then I walked down to the river where the survivors
still lived in shanties.
I met a man called
Yukio, whose chest was etched with the pattern of the shirt he was wearing when
the atomic bomb was dropped. https://consortiumnews.com/2020/08/03/atomic-bombings-at-75-john-pilger-another-hiroshima-is-coming-unless-we-stop-it-now/

America is not based

By Lee Camp
Special to Consortium News
Congress’s inability
to actually represent the real-live human beings of America, combined with an
economic system that rewards lack of empathy and an excess of greed, has
brought us to a dark time when an oncoming tsunami of financial ruin,
destitution and evictions towers over our heads, blocking out the sunlight.
The impending
evictions may soon kick 28 million
people/families out of their homes. To put that in
perspective, only ten million people lost their homes during the 2008 economic
crisis, and that was considered by anyone paying attention to be the craziest
thing to ever happen.
What we’re facing now
could be three times crazier, getting to Charlie Sheen levels. (I almost wrote
“Kanye West levels” but everything he does is in hopes of being mentioned in
the media, and I’m not falling for it. …Shit. This parenthetical has betrayed
me!)
To talk about the
impending homelessness tsunami, we have to first get past the fact that our
government could totally bail people out and keep them in their homes. Not only
have they already bailed out big banks and Wall Street to the tune of $4.25 Trillion, but on top of that
the Pentagon has over $21 Trillion of
unaccounted-for adjustments on their books over the past 20 years. This is to
say – there’s plenty of money.
Money is an idea, a
concept, an imaginary metaphysical belief, and it’s high time we faced the fact
that the U.S. government has an unlimited imagination. As philosopher Alan
Watts once put it: Money is not a thing, it’s a measurement. Saying there’s not
enough money to do something is like a builder saying there’s not enough inches
to build a house. He has the wood, nails and hammers. He’s just out of inches.
(Ed Yourdon/Flickr)
The U.S. government
could easily give every American $2,000 a month for the foreseeable future,
which would keep almost everybody in their homes and apartments. In fact,
Canada has opted to give $2,000 a month to those who
lost work because of the pandemic.
But ignore the fact
that there’s enough money. That’s not what we’re here to discuss.
There are also enough
empty homes. As of 2018, there were nearly
1.5 million vacant homes in the country. Compare that to the estimated 553,742 people
homeless on any given night. So even before the
pandemic, there were three empty houses for every homeless person. Three.
That’s not even accounting for empty apartments, yachts, sheds, extra bedrooms,
garages, condos, cubbyholes, attic spaces, basements, barns, pool houses, and
walk-in refrigerators. https://consortiumnews.com/2020/08/03/lee-camp-why-housing-is-a-human-right/
➽PHD➜ ATOMIC
BOMBINGS AT 75: Scholars Speak Out Against ‘Unnecessary’ Attacks
August 2, 2020
Japan was ready to
surrender, making the atomic bombings of Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945, and
Nagasaki two days later, totally unnecessary and morally indefensible, say a
panel of scholars in two video discussions.
The
bombing of Nagasaki as seen from the town of Koyagi, about 13 km south, taken
15 minutes after the bomb exploded. In the foreground, life seemingly went on unaffected. (Wikipedia)
The
debate over the atomic bombings—a controversy that forced the Smithsonian
Institution to abandon its Enola Gay exhibit 25 years ago—continues unabated in
America today as we approach the 75th anniversary of the incineration of Hiroshima
and Nagasaki.
Four historians, each of whom has written
extensively on the topic, discussed the documentary evidence and explored the
current state of knowledge about the bombings in two sessions with TV, print,
radio, and internet journalists from around the world.
Among other points, they argue that the bombings
were unnecessary as Japan was ready to surrender as long as they could keep the
emperor (which the U.S. eventually allowed them to do); that U.S. generals,
including Dwight Eisenhower and Douglas MacArthur, were opposed to the
bombings; and that a real aim of the attacks was to send a message to the
Soviet Union and not to avert a U.S. invasion, which was still months
away.
The historians taking part are:
Gar Alperovitz,
formerly a Fellow of Kings College Cambridge, the Institute of Politics at
Harvard, and Lionel Bauman Professor of Political Economy at the University of
Maryland, is the author of Atomic Diplomacy: Hiroshima and
Potsdam and The Decision to Use the Atomic Bomb. He is
currently a Principal of The Democracy Collaborative, an independent research
institution in Washington, D.C.

➽BSC➜MSC⇢ When the war on
terror turns inward
By HENRY REYNOLDS | On 31
July 2020
We now have
evidence of a campaign conducted in Australia to attack the credibility and the
reputation of individuals and organisations seen as being too close to China.
A knock at the door… illustration – Alex Anstey
In a recent article
in The Guardian Hamilton Nolan commented on the current
employment on the streets of American cities of the par-military forces
established for action on the nation’s borders. He believes that the Department
of Homeland Security has become a White House controlled paramilitary and
surveillance service. Both the laws passed and the institutions established in
the days after the September 11 attacks have now been used within the
boundaries of the state. He observed that Americans’ are finding out what
happens when the war on terror is turned inward upon ourselves.’
Australians should see this as a
warning of what could unfold here particularly as we enter into a period of
rising tensions brought about by our plunge into the Trump inspired cold war
with China.
As I read the article I was
immediately reminded of the raid unleashed three weeks ago on the home and
office of the New South Wales MLC Shaoquett Moselmane. Not knowing much about
New South Wales State politics I had never heard of Mr. Moselmane. But I found
the whole proceedings deeply disturbing. I was also surprised that so few
people seemed to share my concerns
To begin with the Federal Police
showed no respect for Mr Moselmane who has been in public life for many years
as a three term Mayor of Rockdale and as a member of the New South Wales Upper
House since 2009. The contrast with the treatment of two Federal Ministers
accused in recent times of possible illegal behaviour could not be greater. It
was so discrete that they were not even questioned.
But there was much more to it than
that. The whole exercise was deliberately histrionic—a dawn raid on the family
home by a dozen federal agents. An hour later six further officers arrived.
Such raids are calculated to terrorize families and embarrass and humiliate the
chosen victim. They are also designed to make sure that all the neighbours are
aware of what was happening. Both the scale of the raid and its mode of
operation signalled to the public that there was strong reason to believe that
the targeted individual has been guilty of heinous crimes against both society
and the state. How the victim of such a raid can subsequently receive a fair
trial has never been explained.
But even more egregious was the fact
that the Federal Police had tipped off the media and made sure the television
cameras were rolling when the strike force arrived. This is by now standard
practice. How do they get away with it? How it can be justified is hard to
discern. This is partly because the cosy relationship with the media has
seemingly never been questioned. https://johnmenadue.com/when-the-war-on-terror-turns-inward/
