A temporary turn of 180 degrees by the neocon hawks

by system failure

All indications point to the fact that the US and their allies failed, for one more time, to put under control the Middle East and establish a safe environment for the Western oil companies. Whether ISIS is a Western creation, as many believe, or not, the chaos bequeathed by the Bush administration in Iraq tends to grow.

As the ISIS appears to expand and recruit new members, even from the Western countries, everyone realizes that the danger is much greater than initially estimated. The neocon hawks understand that they must focus on the ISIS problem dropping their plans for Russia at least for the moment (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/06/cold-war-20-dangerous-games-from_23.html), in order to eliminate the threat of the so-called Islamic State.

Despite sanctions against Russia, the Western allies showed some signs of a 180 degree turn, lately. Obama in his recent statement has pointed the contribution of Russia and China to the destruction of the Syrian chemicals (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/08/greece-nowhere-between-allies.html), while the French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius called for all countries in the Middle East, including Iran, to join the fight against Islamic State (IS) fighters, something which gave Iran the opportunity to request for the lifting of the Western sanctions (http://rt.com/news/line/2014-08-21/#68924).

It is characteristic that the US-Israel relations are not in the best shape, and this is not only due to the Israeli policy concerning Gaza, but also because the US are trying to approach Iran, and one reason is probably because they think that the Iranian army, which did not get involved in deleterious wars for many years, is suitable to contribute to the fight against the IS fighters.

The most remarkable is that one of the major, mainstream US think tanks responsible for the design of the US policy in many cases, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), released a report according to which the Ukraine crisis is the West's fault, not Putin's. (http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2014/08/council-foreign-relations-ukraine-crisis-wests-putins-fault.html) This is probably the best indication that the neocon hawks want to gather everyone against the unexpected IS threat. The real intentions, however, are not to be published broadly. (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/07/cold-war-20-old-school-behind-it.html)

The neocons realize that Obama is not determined to follow their lunatic plans for Russia and since the IS problem tends to get completely out of control, they probably decided to give him some space and excuse to focus on the Middle East front and deal with the IS for good.

Of course, the ruthless neocon hawks “are not to be trusted”. They probably hope that by the end of the Obama term the IS problem will be eliminated, while they prepare a more willing puppet for the US presidency to follow their plans (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/06/hillary-for-president-in-middle-of-cold.html). Then, they will turn against Russia, China, Iran and anyone is considered an obstacle to their plans.

In the worst scenario for them, they'll have to wait until Putin's departure from the Russian leadership. Putin probably knows this and makes fast moves, trying to create a situation that would be very difficult to change in future: “What we see now, is a cruel battle with time. On the one hand, Russia and China, together with the rest of the BRICS, are trying to get rid of the dollar and form their own currency system to gain complete independence, on the other, the neocon banking-corporate puppets in the US are in panic and seek desperately a pretext to come to war with Russia and put an end to this threat for their plans. This explains their agony to drag Russia into a warm conflict.” (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/08/the-dominant-elite-ready-to-break.html)

  1. Except the big banks control double what they did in 2008, despite "reform," and are taking even riskier bets on derivatives, knowing Obama protects them against any prosecution, and the government will bail them out if they fail. But if they fail too big even the government can't bail them out. I think the hunger for war will grow dim as Real hunger takes its place.

Israel’s Descent Into Madness & the Holocaust Comparison

BreakThrough News   Rania Khalek was joined by Tarik Cyril Amar, a historian from Germany and associate professor at Koc University in Istanbul, to discuss Israel’s descent into genocidal fascism. Prof. Amar addresses whether it’s useful to make Holocaust and Nazi comparisons and the real reason behind the West’s unshakeable loyalty attitude when it comes to Israel’s barbarism.   

Zionist and US imperialist criminals are about to grab the natural gas off shore Gaza

globinfo freexchange   As the genocide against Palestinians of Gaza is about to be completed with an act of unprecedented brutality by the Zionists and butcher Netanyahu through the bombardment of about 1.4 million civilians in Rafah, it seems that they have already set their next primary goal. Which, in short, is to grab the natural gas resources off shore Gaza, together with their US imperialist buddies whose contribution to the genocide has been undoubtedly critical.     As already reported , in 2007, Hamas came to power and Israel launched an offensive on Gaza Strip, leaving behind 1,400 dead Palestinians, but taking with it the gas fields. Within a year, Israel announced the discovery of the Leviathan natural gas field, which did include Gaza's riches, valued at 453 billion dollars. But Gazans have been denied around 47 billion dollars in revenue. As for Tel Aviv, it's gunning to become a new hub. At that moment in time, that is 2022, Russian oil and gas were sanctioned.

Σταματάει έτσι και η όποια σε βάθος διερεύνηση για την τσιμεντοποίηση του χώρου και την απόπειρα συγκάλυψης της τραγωδίας.

Αυτό όμως που φαίνεται να αιφνιδίασε ακόμα και το συστημικό κατεστημένο, είναι η είσοδος των δύο υπερσυντηρητικών, ακροδεξιών κομμάτων Νίκη και Σπαρτιάτες, με το τελευταίο να έχει ξεκάθαρες διασυνδέσεις με τον πρώην Χρυσαυγίτη, Ηλία Κασιδιάρη. Παρά τη μεγάλη νίκη Μητσοτάκη, οι μιντιακοί ινστρούχτορες της καθεστωτικής προπαγάνδας εμφανίστηκαν σε γενικές γραμμές "μουδιασμένοι" και αυτό οφείλεται στο γεγονός ότι το συστημικό κατεστημένο (δηλαδή τα μεγάλα οικονομικά συμφέροντα που ελέγχουν και το σύνολο των μεγάλων ΜΜΕ πανελλαδικής εμβέλειας), πέτυχε μόνο έναν από τους τέσσερις μεγάλους στόχους που είχε θέσει εξ'αρχής.

The Shadowy, Intelligence-Linked Group Driving the US Towards War With Iran

"United Against Nuclear Iran does not miss an opportunity to try to bring the United States closer to a military conflict with Iran. And on the other side of the equation, they also have worked very hard to oppose efforts to de-escalate the U.S.-Iran relationship."   by Alan Macleod   Part 7 - A Lesson From History   The history of Iran has been intimately intertwined with the United States since at least 1953 when Washington orchestrated a successful coup against Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh. Mosaddegh had refused U.S. demands to stamp out Communist influences in his country and had nationalized the nation’s oil. The U.S. installed Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi as a puppet ruler. An unpopular and authoritarian ruler, the Shah was overthrown in the Revolution of 1979. Since then, it has become a target for regime change, and its nuclear program is something of an obsession in the West. Often orchestrated by UANI officials while they were in government, the U.S. has carried
