    A little about this city:
    “Hierapolis, ancient Syrian city, now partly occupied by Manbij (Membij), about 50 miles (80 km) northeast of Aleppo. The place first appears in Greek as Bambyce, but its Syrian name was probably Mabbog. The Seleucids made it the chief station on their main road between Antioch and Seleucia-on-Tigris. As a centre of the w…[Read more]

    US out and France in? Macron has just announced that France will be sending military forces to support the Kurds in Manjib…. So is this part of the tit-for-tat agreement with Britain and it factional US allies that France got in exchange for supporting the British statement on the Skripal…[Read more]

    A couple of days ago the Saudi crown prince gave an interview with Washington Post in which he stated that the US and its allies had been the behind the scenes “encouragers” of the strategy to spread Wahhabism…. this done to counter the possible influence of and alignment with the soviet state….. here, Adam Garrie covers it:

    • When the German link with “jihadism” finally becomes better known to a broader public and used as textbooks (e.g. books likeThe Fall of the Ottomans by Rogan and A Mosque in Munich: Nazis, CIA etc. by Johnson) Wahabism will deflate like a punctured balloon.

      The only thing I saw, which was about 0510hrs, was in exactly the same area of the sky; a small light travelling south-east, parallel with the horizon, which lasted for about 30 seconds. Ordinarily I would have to assume that this faint light would be a mundane satellite (it was before dawn and thus reflecting sunlight) however, it didn’t appear…[Read more]

    Wow. Interesting about the slowness of it…. sounds almost as if it floated through the upper layers of the atmosphere.

    John Gray addresses the topic of liberalism gone awry, which he terms hyper-liberalism. Very interesting analysis.

      Neither. I was outside at 05.00hrs smokin’ a smoke and saw a really bright object in the eastern sky appx 50 degrees above the horizon. It appeared to be a single and slightly elongated white-silver object “embedded” in a nebulous glowing cloud or nimbus-like enclosure. I watched it for five minutes. It seemed to drift down towards the horizon…[Read more]

    There seems to be an ongoing war against Malaysia…. this latest move is cloaked as trade law to “prevent deforestation” but it seems a fairly obvious economic attack. What does Malaysia have / what have they done that prompts this ongoing attack?
