The US makes a "mistake"


War is a nasty business.  Quaint notions to the contrary, there are no rules save one: win.  The Aleppo rebels and their supporters could have peace, safety, and full bellies on the instant: just walk away.  Wave a white handkerchief and surrender.  It's as simple as that.  Otherwise stay there and die.

The "rebels" were stupid to let the US (acting as Israel's stooge) dupe them into helping in a failed criminal regime change enterprise.  They trusted the US (!!!!!!), and now they're screwed(surprise! surprise!): ruled by fundamentalist Islamic head-choppers, bombed and starved by the government they and their Saudi and Turkish "friends" tried to destroy.  (This is your brain on fundamentalist Islam -- or fundamentalist anything, for that matter.)

For five years Deir ez-Zor remained under Syrian government control and the Jebel Tharda hill-top military position provided protection for  the area.  Five years they were there, and the US, which for five years has wanted to destroy Assad and his govt, would have us believe they forgot, or didn't notice, or... something,... "Sorry, the airstrike was a mistake."

Here's my take:  "Let's bomb the Jebel Tharda position and let ISIS take Deir ez-Zor.  That will, in a stroke, clear Assad's forces from all of Eastern Syria (so we can take possession after ISIS has been disposed of), and send a message to Assad that he needs to wise up.  He's certainly not going to attack us  -- we wish -- because then we would have the excuse we have wanted for so long to bomb his army to dust.  It's a total win win.  Let's go for it.  Then of course we'll pour a little salt in the wound by saying 'Whoops!  We made a mistake. Sorry about that.'  (He he, wink wink.)"

It appears that Assad's response has been to send a message of his own: "You're right, we don't dare bomb American forces.   But the Russians will help us reinforce Deir ez-Zor, retake Jebel Tharda, and win the war by bombing the living crap out of all your terrorist proxies in Idlib province,.... and retaking Aleppo.  Suck on that!  And you thought you would screw us with your phony-ass "cease fire" scam.  Riiiiiight!"

"Terrorism" and other manipulations

From The Next Big Future, which I believe is Brian Wang's website/blog (I'm new at this stuff) , I find a piece entitled Terrorism is a subset of Murder http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/03/terrorism-is-subset-of-murder.html (asserting, if I get it right, that Terrorism is illegitimate by virtue of being criminal). One commenter, Gigi, responded: As I have already tried to say before, I consider any use of the word “terrorism” more or less pointless. In fact, reading much of the western media about “terrorism” there is almost nowhere any clear definition of the word “terrorism”, for the simple reason that for any kind of such definition many of the military actions taken by the West against unarmed civilians in, say, Iraq or Vietnam may well fall in this definition. Is this an action of terrorism? http://boingboing.net/2010/04/... Simply put it, if Hamas kills one Israeli civilian it is terrorism, if the US or Israel directly kill 10 or more Palestinian it is

Origins of Covid

Posted to the comments section of Genetic Literacy Project (and then almost immediately removed as Spam.  But then almost immediately reposted and marked as ***NOT SPAM***.) https://geneticliteracyproject.org/2021/03/25/about-bats-and-covid-why-the-wuhan-lab-leak-theory-shouldnt-be-dismissed-out-of-hand-and-other-reflections-one-year-into-the-crisis/  An aspect of this matter that has not been covered/mentioned, even by Ron Unz in his review: Twenty years ago, witnessing the rise of China with double digit GDP growth, and the rapid Neoliberal transfer of manufacturing to China, I thought to myself that the US could only recover competitiveness and the US jobs that were then being moved to China, in (***only***) one of two ways: (1) Nuke China "back to the stone age" (radical in the extreme, as well as "impractical" because of China's nuclear deterrent, and because the barbaric severity would have correspondingly severe global political implications). Clearly too

Yet another comment critical of Israel and its tribal criminal accomplices, removed by the "moderator" at Antiwar.com This was comment in response to "jake", to    Israel’s Bennet Warns There are Non-Peaceful Ways to Deal With Iran , 10/13/2021.   No surprise of course.  We live in the Age of Censorship and cancellation, so Antiwar.com must be careful lest it be "disappeared".                              ************************************************ Jake = Jacob = just another hasbarist. "Israel is a free country." No. " Israel is a democracy." No. Zionism is a criminal ideology, perpetuating itself through the purchase and coercion of governments and concealing its evil behind an indisputably brilliant global program of sanitizing propaganda. Israel is a geopolitical crime-in-progress. No crime has "a right to exist". No criminal enterprise has "a right to defend itself ". It has a right to surrender to a compet
