Turkey’s Planned Provocation in shooting down the Russian Su-24 presents a serious challenge to NATO ~ link ~ 
“What remains to be seen now is whether this planned provocation, and there is no doubt that it was planned provocation, was a unilateral move by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, or whether it was some form of joint criminal conspiracy between him and NATO headquarters in Brussels, and the government in Washington.” 

Erdogan’s aim is to complicate relations between Russia and NATO members who want to tackle terrorism, said Trifkovic, who named France as one NATO member that is taking steps to collaborate with Russia to fight the threat of terrorism, after recent attacks. 

Putin unleashes heavy bombardment on the region held by Turkmen “rebels” who killed the one pilot and the Russian marine ~ link ~ 

A friend, George Abert, suggested a reason why the Turks shot down the Russian fighter-bomber over Syria. The Russians have a technology that they recently demonstrated against the newest US missile cruiser and Israel’s US jet fighters. The technology shuts down the communication systems of hostile forces, leaving them blind. He wonders if the Russian aircraft was shot down in order to encourage the Russians to use its unknown technology whenever Russian aircraft are in the vicinity of NATO and Israeli aircraft. He bets that the US has sent every Raven and ELINT specialist to the area in hopes that Russia’s use of the technology will allow them to learn enough about the system to duplicate it or learn how to block it.

Golan Heights: Why is the IDF talking to ISIS ~ link ~ 

The researcher stresses that since the beginning of the Russian military operation against the Islamic State in Syria lots of inconvenient truths about the US-led anti-ISIL coalition and its partners have ultimately come to light.

Netanyahu’s Likud and the Israeli military work closely with the US neoconservative warhawks, Engdahl notes, adding that with the help of Washington’s neocons Jerusalem is solving its own geopolitical problems in the region. The name of one of these problems is Hezbollah. Interestingly enough, Hezbollah has been spotted fighting fiercely against ISIL.

Satan’s Production Line: When the Unacceptable becomes acceptable ~ link ~ 

How does the Bible belt and people like Christian/Zionist Hal Lindsey, feel about the CIA training, funding and arming Daesh/ISIL in Jordan who then went on to behead, crucify, rape and enslave Christians? Is this part of the Neocon/Zionist plan? Has it not occurred to him that this is the Anti-Christ in action?
