7 Insidious Ways the Elite Are Making Americans Dumber (Video)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

(N.Morgan) If an organization’s goal was world domination, the best way to pull such an agenda off would be if the populace was completely unaware of what is happening to them.

If the masses were blind to the impending doom about to befall them, they certainly wouldn’t revolt against it.

The ruling elite have been waging a silent war against humanity since the beginning of time.

In this sickening deception, the elite’s carefully orchestrated plans have two specific purposes.

The first purpose is to deceive the populace into believing that their manufactured lies — psy-ops, falsehoods, distortions, manipulations — are real.

To prevent any of this from being found out, a number of deceptions and distractions have been manufactured to take the populaces’ attention elsewhere.

The second is to advance their agenda for total global domination with minimal resistance, because the populace doesn’t know that they’ve been deceived by the first purpose.

There is a minority who is wise to these tactics, such as those in alternative media, but to prevent the ‘sleeping masses’ from waking up in numbers and causing protest, the elite are systematically working to make our society dumber.

Here are 7 examples showing how this is happening and how you can counter act them.

1. Increased Toxins

An article in Time Magazine confirmed that over the last 10 years, increased environmental toxicity has contributed to lowering the average IQ and doubling incidences of developmental disorders, causing steep rises in disorders such as (for example) autism and dyslexia in children.

These environmental toxins include fluoride in our water supplies, a known neurotoxin that causes brain damage and exacerbate the affects of the increased pharmaceutical drugging of our children.

Increased toxins in the environment through industrial pollution, agrichemicals, geoengineering, vaccines, and more mind-altering drugs, are no coincidences.

The elite know that our children are here to bring in the mass awakening needed for planetary transformation.

Therefore, the children are seen by the ruling elite as a threat to their agenda and have to be dumbed down.

What will be the net effects of these toxins on our children when they grow into adults?

2. More Mind-Altering Drugs

Adults are also being increasingly drugged (as well as suffering from the increased environmental toxicity).

For example, the increased prescribing of opioid painkillers in the USA has lead to a serious addiction epidemic.

Consistent with an increase in anxiety and depression, brain-altering antidepressants are also being prescribed more than ever.

As America increasingly becomes a culture of mind-altered, psychoactive drug users, prescription rates dramatically increasing over recent years.

Ironically, hostility, violence, depression and suicide have been found to be common side-effects of antidepressant drugs. (See: SSRI Antidepressants Put Patients at Clear Risk of Suicide.)

Then there are those who have had to pick up the pieces from the consequences of the awful side-effects of these drugs…

Sadly, according to a study in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, as many as 247 out of every 100,000 military personnel commit suicide while taking antidepressants – that’s more than those who have died fighting in wars.

The elite are also banning an natural remedies to combat these illnesses and diseases by utilizing the FDA and DEA as their heavies.

The recent attempt at banning Kratom isn’t just for the public’s safety, but it is to keep people hooked on their drugs and furthering the dumbing down process.

3. Psychiatry and the ‘Mental Disorder’ Diagnosis fraud

A major reason for the increased drugging has been psychiatry’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM), which is used to define and therefore diagnose mental disorders.

In the 1930’s there were only 34 mental disorders listed; now there are over 370.

All these disorders have been invented by the psychiatric industry from a collection of symptoms, however there is no objective scientific evidence to support their diagnoses — nor is there evidence to support conventional psychiatric treatments.

Take the case of depression.

We are told that this is caused by a biochemical imbalance — a lack of a brain chemical called serotonin — but there is no evidence to support this claim.

“Although widely accepted in the psychiatric industry, the “chemical imbalance” theory has never been proved in humans. …

Today, psychiatry is finally retreating from its long-held position of “chemical imbalance” in the face of intense criticism of this baseless theory.

For instance, Dr. Fred Baughman, board certified neurologist/child neurologist and author of the book ‘The ADHD Fraud — How Psychiatry Makes “Patients” of Normal Children’, has testified widely, including hearings at the US Food and Drug Administration (March 2006) and the Congress of Mexico (March 2006), that there is no proof that any psychiatric disorders have been scientifically validated.

“The psychiatric establishment, of course, is slow to acknowledge these facts.”

~ Source: Licensed to Kill: Psychiatry, Big Pharma and the State-Sanctioned Drug Cartel

The psychiatric industry is a scam, perpetrated against the American people and based on vested interests.

Keep in mind, the more made-up mental disorders there are, the more drugs can be sold as treatment.

This means more revenue for Big Pharma and Government from higher drug sales.

This is most clearly demonstrated by the fact that ‘Opposition Defiant Disorder’ (ie. non conformity and anti-authoritarianism) is now considered an illness. It couldn’t be more transparent!

What about the suffering caused not only by the side-effects of these unnecessary, toxic drugs, but by the politics surrounding them?

If you’re diagnosed with mental illness, you could have your basic rights stripped away by the State, which could  include being prevented from seeing your children, being unable to vote, losing your savings, and losing your right to gun ownership.

The basic right to accept or reject medications for yourself or your children is taken over by the state and federal government.

The right to our choices should not be left to governmental and corporate cronies who are trying to force their money-driven, Statist agenda and ideals.

No doubt, we will have to fight for this basic right.

4. Toxic Food

The food and water supplies have been made toxic by design. Besides making us sluggish and foggy minded, a rise in toxic food consumption has contributed greatly to increasing illnesses, in particular, life-threatening diseases such as cancer and auto-immune diseases.

The goal isn’t just about dumbing the masses down; the elite also want a significant global depopulation to make their tyrannical rule of a dumbed down society, easier to handle and maintain.

Let’s take a look at toxic junk food.

Junk food is essentially processed, unnatural, chemical laden, high in sugar, salt and nasty trans-fats, overcooked and irradiated, and deficient in vitamin, enzyme and mineral content – all of which, if consumed frequently and long-term and contributes to acidifying the body, which in turn leads to illness and disease.

GMO’s and their toxic genes have also contributed to the sharp rise in illness in recent years.

The primary reason GM crops are engineered is to allow them to drink poison (pesticides), and survive.

They are inserted with foreign genes that allow them to absorb what would otherwise be deadly doses of poisonous herbicides, fungicides and insecticides.

These crops can be sprayed at extremely high doses, killing everything around them but leaving the crop intact. 

But it is not simply the poison in which they are coated that adversely effects on human health, it is also the essence of the modified genes themselves…

GM food manipulates the natural essence of these foods by altering their DNA, which is the inherited material of life. …

[This] disrupts the gene itself; it distorts the balance of gene function.  … [which is] then absorbed by the cells of the body.

This means that this altered DNA becomes integrated into our own genetic code, distorting DNA and genome.

And this is irreversible. 

If that wasn’t enough, the new generation of GM seeds contain bacterial genes that enables the plant to produce natural toxic herbicides and pesticides, allegedly protecting the crop.

These abnormal bacterial genes transfer to the normal bacteria that inhabit our gut, and we end up with a bacteria that produces herbicide and pesticides within our own intestines. 

 How GMO Foods Turn Your Intestines Into an Insecticide Factory

One solution to prevent and reverse illness, is to alkalize the body by eating natural immune system building alkaline foods and drinking plenty of good clean water.

Consume organic foods free from GMO’s and agricultural chemicals. Learn to discern the deceptive marketing that tricks consumers into buying products that are not organic or natural.

5. ‘Common Core’ Education

The current education system is yet another source used in the dumbing-down agenda.

The education system ultimately serves to program and brainwash young people to fit into the corporate employment agenda, treating kids like cogs in the machine, rather than as individuals with individual needs and thoughts.

For more read:  The Education System Deception

One way by which the war on our children will become visible to the uninformed is when the State tries to put an end to homeschooling, in whatever way they can.

But, like the right to medical choice, it is a parent’s sovereign right to choose how their children should be educated.

Parents must have the freedom to pull their child away from state education and choose homeschooling, or even unschooling, if this is what they want.

6. The Suppression of Free Speech 

“The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum.” ~ Noam Chomsky

Internet and media censorship, and political correctness (with all its rules and regulations) both serve to limit the way we express ourselves.

An example of political correctness gone mad is that music teachers in the U.S. have been told that pupils can no longer sing the song ‘Baa Baa Black Sheep.’

To be acceptable with political correctness, it has been changed to: ‘Baa Baa Happy Sheep’!!

The First Amendment was written to permit and protect the flow of free speech without government interference.

It preserves the right of any person in any minority to say what they want, while protecting them from the opposing majority.

However, what we’re witnessing today at unprecedented levels is the denial of our self-expression and right to free speech.

For some time now, internet and social media giants such as Google, Facebook and Twitter have been increasingly censoring the online world.

Alternative news websites are increasingly censored and their social following inhibited.

If you are deemed by these corporations to be particpating in ‘anti-government speech’, for example, then your accounts and posts will be deleted on the basis of extremism or hate speech.

In a protest/activism forums, agent provocateurs are employed by the Government to actively derail protest rallies that express discontent with government policy.

By posing as protesters and inciting violence, they tarnish the reputation of the movement they infiltrate and, with the support of the mainstream media, undermine and discredit the movement’s message.

Consequently, this country is facing a crisis where citizens’ ability to think for themselves, communicate opinions, or disagree with government is seriously under attack.

According to Wake Up World there are a number of dastardly ulterior motives to this which, in effect, serve to dumb us down.

If the masses succumb to this encroachment, they will be:

Incapable of critical thinking

More easily controlled and manipulated

Limited when making choices

The unhealthy side of skepticism

More intolerant

More blindly accepting of authorities and the general consensus of the masses

Likely to cause protest riots from bottling up the thoughts, feelings, emotions… as a consequence of free speech suppression.

To uphold the Constitution and preserve our rights to free speech, we have to actively fight its suppression.

We have to speak out and confront those control freaks (and their agent provocateurs) whose ulterior motive is to keep us quiet.

We have a basic human right to express our opinions publicly, and wave a banner of protest if we see fit.

7. The Mainstream Media

In this silent war on humanity, the mainstream media is working with the elite and presents a danger to the masses.

With its mind-controlling propaganda and mindless distraction factor, our society is in danger of becoming irreversibly enslaved without ever realizing the ulterior motives connected to their enslavement.

“This country’s biggest misconception is the simple concept that a [news] viewer can be given two politically-charged options on television, of which both are openly and fiercely biased to their sponsors’ interests, and can then watch both these compromised sides and walk away fully informed.

Deep down, most already know this to be a false security, yet do not want to admit it to themselves for fear that the admission would then cast doubt on their entire lifetime of commitment to, and acceptance of, this broken system.

“Most continue to participate in this façade because they are falsely led to believe that there are no other options; that this system is the pinnacle of thousands of years of development building toward a better system of democracy…”

Mass Media Bias and the Illusion of Democracy

The unfortunate reality is that mainstream media role is to help maintain the status quo.

The mainstream media is a highly effective tool for simultaneously steering public thought and driving social norms, it is the ultimate weapon in the war to dumb America down.

      Doughnut – do not "eat". Maybe, but I'll give this one a pass. :lol: :lol:

      And Casey sounds like a smart ass. Not a brilliant quote.

      "I don't want a nation of thinkers – I want a nation of workers". Actually, not a bad idea for people that fancy themselves as the 'elite. :lol: :lol:

      I can attest to the fact that there chemical imbalances in the brain. I have been taking an antidepressant and a psychoactive medication for several years. I have cut back and eliminated them, and the situations for which they were prescribed have reoccurred. Not all psychiatrists are conniving, government-controlled agents of “dumbing down.”

      • ecclesiatical

        Depression is caused by vitamins deficiencies but psychiatrists call them chemical imbalances in the brain.I too suffered from depression and was put on meds for a couple of years and the side effects of the medication I took were IBS and gluten and lactose intolerance,which I now have to live with for the rest of my life.
        Three years ago I did a blood-test and found that my B12 level was 179 and a normal would be up to 600,but still my doctor wasn’t convinced and he told me that I was borderline.So I started taking 1000mg everyday and my depression started to ease instantly.
        You see, the problem with doctors is that they dont look at the real cause but only at the symptoms,they dont want to stop the cause,cos it will make you stop visiting,beside the fact that above all, the real cause before my B12 deficiency was that I recently had been through a traumatic situation and in order for the body to cope it releases cortisol and adrenaline which in turn eats up all your stored vitamins not just B12,so I also started taking magnesium and zinc as I also later discovered that I was also deficient in.
        If you go back to your past before your the depression started you realize that there was trigger,say a bereavement of someone very close to you,a repossession of your house,news that a sibling has something terminal,in short, a very traumatic(shock) situation.
        You said so yourself,you stopped taking and reoccurrence took place,which in turn means,you were doing what the doctor said,masking your problem,treating the symptoms and not the cause

      Making Sense of the Russian Naval Task Force Off the Coast of Syria
      The Saker • October 25, 2016

      The AngloZionst Empire’s propaganda machine, otherwise known as the corporate media, has had great difficulty deciding what it should say about the Russian naval task force that has been sent to Syria. The Americans have decided to express their usual contempt for anything Russian and describe this force as centered on the “geriatric” aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov, while the Brits chose to describe it as a formidable “armada” about to completely obliterate the moderate terrorists in Syria.

      My friend Alexander Mercouris has recently written a superb analysis explaining that, in reality, this task force was neither geriatric nor that formidable. Rather than repeating it all here, I prefer to write what I will consider a follow-up to this excellent piece with a few more details added. The first step will be to debunk a few fundamental misconceptions.

      Let’s begin with the Russian aircraft carrier.

      The “Heavy Aircraft-Carrying Cruiser Admiral of the Soviet Fleet Kuznetsov”

      Did you know that the Russian don’t even call the Admiral Kuznetsov an aircraft carrier? The official designation of the Kuznetsov is “Heavy Aircraft-Carrying Cruiser”. It is important to understand why.

      What is, in your opinion, an aircraft carrier? Or, let me put it this way, why does the United States maintain a force of 10-12 heavy aircraft carriers? If you believe Ronald Reagan, it is to “forward deploy” and bring the war to the Soviets (that was, then, the rationale for a 600 ship navy and US carriers in the northern Atlantic). Nothing could be further from the truth. The reality is that US, British, French aircraft carriers are a colonial rule enforcement tool. You park one or two aircraft carrier battle groups a few hundred miles from a disobedient country, and you bomb the shit out of it until it rolls over. That is, in reality, the only rationale for these immense structures. And the beauty of it is that you can threaten most of the planet and that you do not depend on allies agreeing to your mission. So, we can say that US and other western aircraft carriers are a long range power projection capability used against weak and poorly defended countries.

      Why weak and poorly defended only?

      Here is the ugly secret that everybody knows: aircraft carriers cannot be defended against a sophisticated enemy. Had the Cold War turned hot, the Soviets would have simultaneously attacked any US carrier in the north Atlantic with a combo of

      Air launched cruise missiles
      Submarine launched cruise missiles
      Surface ship launched cruise missiles
      Submarine launched torpedoes

      I cannot prove the following, but I can just testify that I had plenty of friends in the US military, including some who served on US aircraft carriers, and they all understood that US carriers could never survive a Soviet saturation attack and that in case of a real war they would have been kept away from the Soviet shores. I will only add here that the Chinese apparently have developed specialized ballistic missiles designed to destroy carrier battle groups. That was then, in the early 1990s. Nowadays even countries like Iran are beginning to develop capabilities to engage and successfully destroy US carriers.

      The Soviets never built any real aircraft carriers. What they had were *cruisers* with a very limited number of vertically launched aircraft and, of course, helicopters. These cruisers had two main purposes: to extend the reach of the Soviet air defenses and to support the landing of a force from the sea. One very special feature of these aircraft carrying Soviet cruisers is that they had very large (4,5-7 tons) cruise missiles designed to strike at high-value enemy ships, including US aircraft carriers. You can read up on the “Kiev-class” aircraft carrying cruiser here. Another key characteristic of these Soviet aircraft-carrying cruisers is that they carried a rather lame aircraft, the Yak-38 which was plagued by problems and would have been a very easy target for US F-14s. F-15s, F-16s or F-18s. For that reason, the Kiev-class air-defenses were centered on its surface-to-air missiles and not on its complement of aircraft. By time the Kuznetsov was built, the Soviet had developed aircraft which were at least equal, if not superior, to their western counterparts: the MiG-29 and, especially, the SU-27. And that gave them the idea of building a “real” aircraft carrier.

      The decision to built the Kuznetsov was an extremely controversial one which faced a lot of opposition. The Kuznetsov’s “selling points” were that she was a much superior air defense platform, that she could carry vastly superior aircraft and, last but not least, that she could compete for prestige with the US heavy aircraft carriers, especially the planned but never built nuclear-powered follow-on generation. I find that argument wholly unconvincing and nowadays I am pretty confident that most Russian naval force planners would agree with me: Russia does not need US-style aircraft carriers and if she needs any aircraft carriers at all, then they would have to be designed around a *Russian* mission requirement and not just to copy the Americans.

      [Sidebar: I would love to get on my favorite soapbox and tell you all the bad things I think about aircraft carriers in general and why I think that the Russian Navy should be submarine and frigate centered, but this would take up too much space. I will just say that I much rather have many frigates or corvettes than a few heavy cruisers].

      So the Kuznetsov ended up being a mega-compromise and, as compromises go, a pretty good one. Think of it: even though the Kuznetsov packs 12 massive Granit anti-ship missiles, it has, at least potentially, a complement of aircraft bigger than the French Charles de Gaulle (50 vs 40). Initially, the Kuznetsov carried 12 pure air to air SU-33, but now these will be gradually replaced with 20 much more modern MiG-29K and its 24 Ka-27 helicopters will be replaced by the most advanced reconnaissance and attack helicopter on the planet, the Ka-52K. The Kuznetsov still has two major weaknesses: a frankly dated propulsion (see the Mercouris article) and a lack of on-board AWACs aircraft. The latter is a direct consequence of the design philosophy of the Kuznetsov which was never intended to operate much beyond 500-1000km from the Russian border (again, the crucial roughly under 1000km Russian force planning philosophy).

      To sum this all up: the Kuznetsov is a fine aircraft carrier which nevertheless reflects a compromise design philosophy and which was never intended to project Russian power at long distances the way western, especially US, carriers have.

      Now let’s turn to the rest of this Russian naval task force

      The rest of the Russian naval task force around the Kuznetsov

      One big name immediately stands out: the Heavy Nuclear Rocket Cruiser Peter the Great. This is one heavy beast and currently the most heavily armed ship on the planet. I won’t even go into all the details here, check this article for a list of armaments if you are interested, suffice to say here that this battlecruiser can do everything: anti-air, anti-ship, anti-submarine. She is packed with top of the line sensors and advanced communications. Being the flagship of the Northern Fleet she is also the de-facto flagship of the entire Russian Navy. Last, but not least, the Peter the Great carries a formidable array of 20 Granit anti-ship missile. Please note that the combined firepower of Granit anti-ship missiles of the Kuznetsov and Peter the Great is 12+20 for a total of 32. I will explain why this important below.

      The rest of the task force is composed of two Large Antisubmarine Ships (destroyers in western terminology), the Vice-Admiral Kulakov and the Severomorsk, and a number of support vessels. The Kulakov and the Severomorsk are based on the Udaloy design and are modern and all-around capable combat ships. All these ships will soon be merged into one force, including two small missile ships (corvettes in western terminology) which carry the famous Kalibr cruise missiles and which specialize in attacking surface ships. Finally, though this will not be advertised, I believe that this task force will include at least two Akula-class nuclear attack submarines, one Oscar-II cruise missile submarine (armed with another 12 Granit cruise missiles) and several Kilo-class diesel-electric submarines.

      To sum this all up.

      The Russian naval task force is a Russian attempt to bring together a number of ships which were never designed to operate as a single naval task force far away from Russia. If you wish, it is a clever Russian “hack”. I would argue that it is also a rather successful one as this task force as a whole is a very impressive one. No, it cannot take on all of NATO or even the USN, but there are a number of things which it can do very effectively.

      Now we can turn to the big question,

      What can the Russian naval task force in Syria really do?

      Before looking at the bigger picture, there is one detail which I think deserves to be mentioned here. Nearly every article I read about the Granit cruise missile says that it is an anti-ship cruise missile. I also wrote that above in order to keep things simple. But now I have to say that the Granit probably always had a “B” mode, “B” as in “beregovoy” or, if you prefer, “coastal” or “land” mode. I don’t now whether this mode existed from day 1 or whether it was added later, but it is now certain that the Granit has such a mode. It was probably a fairly minimalistic capability, without fancy guidance and other tricks (which the Granit has in its main anti-ship mode), but the Russians have recently revealed that the upgraded Granits now have a *real* (“complex”) land attack capability. And that requires a totally new look at what that means for this task force. This is what we know about the new and improved Granit (which the Russians refer to as 3M45):

      SakerGranit

      Mass: 7 tons
      Speed: Mach 1,5-2
      Range: 500-600km
      Warhead: 750kg (conventional and nuclear capable)

      The Granit is also capable of some very advanced things, including having one missile flying at 500m or higher to detect the target and the rest of them skimming the surface while receiving the data from the high-flying one. These missiles are also capable of automatically attacking from different directions to better overwhelm air defenses. They can fly as low as 25m and as high as 17,000m. What this all means is that these Granits missiles are very capable tactical-operational range missiles in their own right. And considering that there are at the very least 32 such missiles in the Russian task force (46 if a Oscar-II class sub is also present), that means that this task force has a tactical missile firepower similar to an entire rocket brigade! Should things go very wrong, this task force could not only seriously threaten any USN/NATO surface ship within 500km of Syria, but also every single city or military base in this range. I am rather surprised that the western fear-mongers missed this one because it ought to scare NATO pretty badly :-)

      To be honest here, some specialists are expressing major doubts about the land-attack capabilities of the Granit. Everybody knows that these are relatively old and very expensive missiles, but nobody knows how much effort was really put in their modernization. But even if they are not nearly as capable as advertised, the fact that 32 to 46 of such missiles we be sitting just off the Syrian coast will be a formidable deterrent because nobody will ever know what these missiles can do until they actually do it.

      Next.

      The combined capabilities of the Russian naval task force and the S-300/S-400 missiles deployed in Syria give the Russians a world-class air-defense capability. If needed the Russians could even throw in A-50 AWACs from Russia protected by MiG-31BMs. What most observers do not realize that is that SA-N-6 “Grumble” which forms the core of the air defenses of the Peter the Great is a S-300FM, the modernized naval variant of the S-300. It is also capable of the amazing Mach 6 speed, has 150km range, an added infrared terminal capability, a track-via-missile guidance system which allows it to engage ballistic missiles and an altitude envelope of 27,000m. And, guess what – the Peter the Great has 48 such missiles (in 20 launchers), roughly the equivalent of 12 S-300 batteries (assuming 4 launchers per battery).

      One of the major weaknesses of the Russian deployment in Syria has been the relative low number of missiles the Russians could fire at any one time. The US/NATO could simply saturate Russian defenses with large numbers of missiles. Frankly, they can still do it, but this has now become much, much harder.

      Can the Russians now stop a US attack on Syria?

      Probably not.

      But they can make it much harder and dramatically less effective.

      First, as soon as the Americans fire, the Russians will see it and they will warn the Syrian and Russian armed forces. Since the Russians will be able to track every US missile, they will be able to pass on the data to all the air defense crews who will be ready by the time the missiles arrive. Furthermore, once the missiles get close, the Russians will be able to shoot down a lot of them, making it necessary for the Americans to conduct battle damage assessment from space and then re-strike the same targets many times over.

      Second, stealth or no stealth, I don’t believe that the USN or the USAF will risk flying into Russian controlled airspace or, if it does, this will be a short-lived experiment. I believe that the Russian presence in Syria will make any attack on Syria a “missile only” attack. Unless the Americans take down the Russian air defenses, which they could only if they want to start WWIII, US aircraft will have to stay outside the Syrian skies. And that means that the Russians have basically created their own no-fly zone over Syria and a US no-fly zone is now impossible to achieve.

      Next, the Kuznetsov will be bringing a number of fixed and rotary wing aircraft including 15-20 Ka-27 and Ka-52K helicopters, and 15-20 SU-33K and MiG-29K (I don’t think there has been an official figure announced). What the Russians have said is that the fixed wing aircraft will be upgraded to be able to attack ground targets. Will all that make a difference? Maybe, on the margins. It will definitely help deal with the expected influx of moderate terrorists coming from Mosul (courtesy of the US operation to flush them into Syria), but the Russians could have simply moved more SU-25 or even SU-34 to Khmeimin or Iran at a much smaller cost. Thus in terms of its air-wing, I fully agree with Mercouris – this will be mainly a real-life training opportunity and not a game changer.

      Conclusion

      This deployment is highly uncharacteristic of what the Russians have been training for. They have basically found a way to reinforce the Russian contingent in Syria, especially against Hillary’s “no fly zone” nightmare. However, this is also a case of making virtue out of necessity: the operation in Syria was always too far from the Russian border and the Russian force in Syria always to small for its task. Furthermore, this deployment is not sustainable in the long term, and the Russians know it. They have successfully imposed a “Yankee no fly zone” over Syria long enough for the Syrian to take Aleppo and for the Americans to vote for their next President. After that, the situation will either get dramatically better (Trump) or dramatically worse (Hillary). Either way, the new situation will require a completely different Russian strategy.

      PS: I am aware of the semi-official Russian announced plans to build a modern aircraft carrier, probably a nuclear one, with catapults and all. For whatever it’s worth, I am very much opposed to this idea which I find wasteful and which does not fit the Russian defense doctrine. The new generation of Russian subs (SSNs and SLBMs), however, gets my standing ovation.

      aleppo-syrian-army take control

      AlMasdarNews reports: ISIS Jaysh Al-Fateh (Army of Conquest) launched a counter-offensive in the southern sector of Aleppo City on Tuesday night, targeting the Syrian Arab Army’s defenses at the Air Defense Base.
      However, the jihadist terrorists counter-offensive in southern Aleppo ended way before it could ever get started; this was due in large part to the nonstop air raids conducted by the Russian Air Force and the heavy artillery launched by the Syrian Arab Army. According to a military source in Aleppo City, the Syrian Armed Forces killed over 20 jihadist terrorists and destroyed 8 of their armored vehicles that were traveling from Tal Mu’tah to the Air Defense Base. The military source added that the southern Aleppo front is now quiet, with sporadic gunfire taking place every few minutes.

      A leading US senator: US Supporting War in Syria

      A leading US senator said the war in Syria would have been over by now if the US had put an end to its intervention when Russia entered the war-ravaged country.

      “If the United States had just stayed out of it at that point, the war would be over by now; people would be rebuilding, refugees would be returning back to Syria, but the United States rushed anti-Tank missiles, and we used these so-called moderate rebels as a conduit to supply al-Nusra Front (also known as Fatah al-Sham Front), which is al-Qaeda in Syria,” republican member of the Virginia State in US Senate, Richard Hayden Black said in an exclusive interview with Press TV.

      “If we were not supporting the war in Syria, I believe that the Syrians, combined with their allied forces from Iran, Lebanon and Russia… would move very steadily and restore the borders of Syria.”

      The senate member, who visited Syria in April, refused to distinguish between militants and terrorists fighting the government of President Bashar al-Assad, saying, the two are “thoroughly integrated.”

      “They really are one and the same, they’re part of the same army,” he said, citing a US defense intelligence agency’s investigation in 2013, which showed Washington’s ties with the terror group.

      The outspoken state senator referred to plans by the CIA to transfer arms from Libya to Turkey and from there to Syria to supply the militants, noting that the move “evolved into an indiscriminate program of supplying all militant groups, including specifically ISIL and al-Qaeda.”

      “We do it indirectly because it’s unlawful to do it directly,” he said, adding that the US keeps “extremely violent organizations… off the terrorist watch list because these are the agents that take our weapons and then distribute them to ISIL and al-Qaeda.”

      In response to a question on why Iran and Russia are portrayed as the “bad guys,” while they are the ones really fighting terrorism there, as put recently by GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, Black said the Republican candidate has a “clear understanding of what’s happening over there.”

      “Sometimes, his rhetoric has to match the political mood of the moment… but I know a number of his advisers and they believe that our determination to topple the government in Syria is suicidal, that it threatens not only the entire Middle East but literally the entire world.”

      He further warned that the US itself could be “threatened,” arguing that, “if Syria falls, it will be dominated by some al-Qaeda-related organization; Lebanon will fall; Jordan will fall and the entire area will be destabilized.”

      The Vietnam war veteran also elaborated on his personal definition of the Middle East “axis of evil,” naming Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and “particularly” Turkey over their support for terrorism.

      “Probably, three quarters of the rebels are not Syrian at all, they are mercenaries recruited by Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia,” he asserted, describing the three countries as “the primary force behind the terrorist movement.”

      “Turkey has invaded Iraq and Syria with heavy military forces. Turkey has really become a rogue nation,” he added, referring to a 1923 treaty that set the border between Turkey and Greece, saying that was even being questioned by President Rececp Tayyip Erdogan.

      “And now you see this emerging threat against Western Europe by Turkey,” he noted, further adding that Erdogan “has made it clear that he looks to resurrection of the Ottoman Empire.”

      “He has become more and more aggressive; he’s crushed the military, the free press; every powerful institution of the Turkish government has come under his iron fist and he’s now a total dictator. He’s a man who has said that he wants the constitution amended so that he will have power similar to those of Adolf Hilter… This is our great ally; we’re allied with a man who would be Hitler.”

      He also blasted Washington’s alliance with Saudi Arabia, “where women are not allowed to walk out in the front yard to pick up the newspaper without a man’s permission; they can’t drive a car!”

      “Somehow, this is part of the liberalization that we seek to impose on the Middle East,” he said ironically, calling it “bizarre.”

      He also praised the resistance against the Saudi aggression by the people of Yemen, saying, “God bless them! The Yemenis are giving the Saudis a bloody nose,” despite being a “tiny little, poor nation.”

      “I think the world recognizes that Saudi Arabia has just embarked in massive war crimes in Yemen,” he said, voicing regret over the US support for the monarchy.

      “We don’t pay too much attention to them while engaged in war crimes because they’re our good allies,” he said, concluding that Washington is on a “suicidal course of action.”

      “Saudi money pays the very top politicians in many Western nations. And they really have co-opted the American military into acting as mercenaries for Wahhabism.”Black referred to the Western media’s portrayal of Iran as a supporter of terrorism, saying, “The fact of the matter is that if you really look at global terrorism, it all emanates from Saudi Arabia.”

      He exemplified various terrorists attack, including the 9/11, the Boston bombing, and the Brussels attacks, noting that they are all a “reflection of the Wahhabi philosophy.”

      Syrian Army launches powerful assault on key northern Hama town

      http://cdn.almasdarnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/13246059_10156864370755361_973576015_n-696×522.jpg

      HAMA, SYRIA (11:30 A.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA), alongside the National Defense Forces (NDF) and Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP), stormed the key town of Souran in northern Hama this morning after a two day long hiatus from this axis. Led by the Shaheen Group of the Tiger Forces, the Syrian Armed Forces stormed the eastern outskirts of Souran, capturing the large hilltop of Tal Al-Dour after a fierce battle with the jihadist rebels Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham, Jaysh Al-’Izza, and Jaysh Al-Nasr this morning. Following the capture of Tal Al-Dour, the Syrian Armed Forces began their first assault on the village of Souran since losing it in early October.
      Backing the Syrian Armed Forces offensive today is the Russian Air Force, who has already carried out several airstrikes over the northern Hama countryside in order to weaken the jihadist resolve.

      Nothing will come from a Hillery Clinton presidency that is good. I have said over and over again that if Trump wins this election, and I think he will despite all the fraud, something must be done about the mentally ill that vote in this country. Most have no knowledge of history. Most have no idea of how our government is now working and how it is supposed to work. Most do not know anything about The Declaration of Independence The Bill of Rights or the US The constitution. These people are literally walking morons. They can no longer be in a position to choose leaders. They know nothing about the country or the world yet they are nearing the point in which they will choose who will lead this country. Personally I don’t want any of these super low IQ people deciding anything about my life or how I live it let alone my President. Our forefathers, founders of this nation could have never foreseen a society as large as ours is now with so many citizens that are just plain stupid to the point that they classify as mentally retarded. Amendments to the constitution and changes in voter laws must be adapted to our current society. Tests and measures must be instituted to insure that each voter is not a bumbling fool with absolutely no knowledge of why or who they are voting for. A test that insures that voters no at least some world history. They must possess some actual knowledge of The Bill of Rights, The Constitution and The Deceleration of Independence, current and world events. Some of the people voting now can’t read or write. Some are strung out on illegal drugs or intoxicated with alcohol. More and more each day are becoming voters and they cannot speak the legal language of the United States. We cannot afford to allow these people to keep voting. All of the people I have just described are exactly what the liberal democrats want. They have said so themselves in the e-mails that were leaked. The dumbing down of our grade schools and colleges was done for the sole purpose of producing a stupid voter that can be swayed by unrealistic promises. This is our last chance to get our country back on track without resorting to an armed uprising. If the democrats win this time by the time the next elections are held the dumb low IQ voters will be twice what they are now. Coupled with the illegal immigration the democrats are pushing. the right to vote restored for felons and prisoners by the democrats, the nearly complete takeover of the main stream media, voter fraud and voter machine manipulation and so on and so on will make it impossible after this election to ever have another that is not completely rigged. THIS IS OUR LAST CHANCE. VOTE TRUMP. It isn’t all about Trump it is about you and me, our families and friends and a free country that we may not have much longer to live in. As with all men that God has chosen to lead in times of crisis, Donald Trump is an imperfect man but he is the Man that God has chosen now in our time of crisis.
