2nd Instalment:THE PERIPHERY RE-EXPORTS A CONTRADICTION TO THE CENTRE ---FRANCE! This is not the original posting, but it will do today. The original posting had to do with refugees and the coming elections in France, and something called the 'jungle' at Calais, across from England. And it was meant for this thread. jukwaa.proboards.com/thread/8926/adieu-france-grande-viva-mediocri The jungle at Calais: Then there was thing conference in Malta where African leaders were invited to be bribed to take back refugees --some like Rwanda have been taking back Eritreans for a fee! It is unimaginable, but the word shame resonated with the African leaders and they rejected the public bribe. Disastrous PR with countries like Burundi and CAR bursting like ripe syphilis sores! They will take the bribes in secret not public! But what forced the Malta conference was the Europe's inability to deal with the flow of people from the middle east. The middle east? That is where a modern monster holds office, ISIS! The antidote to the PICOT-SYKES settlement. Things have been happening in the homeland of PICOT. We leave Calais for what it is for the moment. We will take a look. A long look, at Paris. It isn't much the city of Love these days. 1. The story of two bomb blasts by the same group, DAESH. Beirut and Paris. The single unique fact, and most significant information, is: this is the first suicide bombing in Paris. However, in the middle east, even for academic purposes, nobody bothers no more to keep count of suicide bombings. Just before François Hollande fled the football match yesterday in Paris amidst gunfire, there was a series of suicide bombings in Hezbollah Beirut, specifically within the Bourj al-Barajneh neighbourhood of southern Beirut. These atrocities are a daily occurrence thence in the middle east. In Baghdad we have an orchestra which recreates the chaos of the aftermath of a bombing in musical language. A suicide bombing with car or not, culturally assimilated into a musical note. Car bombs in Baghdad are a footnote to George Bush's SHOCK AND AWE! Therefore on Paris, we will leave the ritualised reactions to the politicians. The duplicity of politicians are well known and documented since times immemorial. Ours here, is to think through phenomena, determine historical processes, find links, organise facts and try to make the best sense of events. Events that occur so regularly that treating them as random, rather than structural, is for the hypocritical politicians. ---these are the works of a few mentally deranged beasts. Terrorists. (that was the Vatican spokesman speaking on behalf of the Pope actually). Sawa: but what is the pathology of this derangement? These maniacs actually do leave very articulate testimonials. the simplest of statements. Paris today is the whole story. There has been a terrorist attack on Friday Night, 13-11-15, which left 120 dead. President Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya in his message of commiseration reminded the world of the Garissa campus horror, to underline our country is a frontline nation in this global fight against evil. Kenya lost more victims than France in that Garissa horror, students in their prime. Now, just like in the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo attack, all the worms have crawled out of the woodwork in troop. Yes, one will notice it is very much the same group as the one which perpetrated another suicide bomb atrocity in the BEIRUT SURBUBS where Hezbollah holds sway Did any worm, wonder above wonder, crawl out of the woodwork to condemn, condole with amd offer intel assistance, for instance, toward the apprehension of co-conspirators!? Nop! Hezbollah and their base are paying the blood price both at home and at the frontlines in Syria fighting ISIL, IS or DAESH, -the current bogeyman of all; YET, as the case is, there is none from afar to console with them when they suffer a horrendous hit at home. Damn it! Hezbollah itself is after all a certified terrorist unit, no!? Give them more, Daesh, give them more. Is the western establishment's silence thereto a coded message for Okay!? serves them right! These questions must be asked. For good answers will lead to better interhuman relations, better empathy. Mine will be to try to unearth the dark emotions and processes which dictate my tribesman Hussein Obama wouldn't care a donkey's assz about victims of terrorism in Shiite Lebanon, but Ho, Paris, that is his heart torn, or so, the make-believe. Obama is an emperor, and an emperor must defend a system. Is he just being formal, perfunctory, performing the obligatory rituals of an emperor for show, while inside he is a cynically cold brute loyal only to American global power? An emperor must know who the children of a lesser god are, and treat them with the contempt they deserve. The cold menace of dismissive responses to questions when American predator drones wipe out whole weddings and kindergartenS in the Hindu Kush backyards of the world, informs of a mind and heart set. On the other hand, France is a faithful ally when the chips are down, and to hit a vassal is always to convey a message to the emperor. Yes, it is an animal civilisation out there. François Hollande of France, after earlier on declaring a state of emergency over Paris, and later the whole of France, has now officially read the declaration of war. France is at war, officially.THIS DETAIL: THESE Jihadis are Frenchmen! Like the Kouachi brothers, or Amely Coulibaly. But given this obvious fact, that the perpetrators are Frenchmen -they only went for fieldwork and training outside, the war Hollande has declared is actually a CIVIL WAR. Has it not been been going on under his nose for a long time, openly that now he RECOGNISES it, officially. Born and bred in France, French is their first language, their first loves are French. Their first jobs are French -eg young Kouachi was a pizza delivery courier. They grew up secular and only discovered Islam recently, and this is important, during the horrors perpetrated by Western powers during the Gulf wars. Then came the lie which led to the destruction of Saddam Hussein's Iraq, and how, during discussions within the young, alienated Muslim community, it wiped out French politicians of Muslim background. People do underestimate the impact of an intellectual collapse of a whole generation. Young Muslim politicians well integrated in the French political system hat to fend off a charge of collaboration spoken with an Algerian twist of the tongue. During the Algerian civil war for independence, a section of native intelligentsia sided with the French colonists. There is a way Algerian nationalist contempt for this breed of families spits its poison in modern slang. It escapes white France, it does not escape non white France, especially those of Arab origins. It got a ring of what American blacks used to call Uncle Tomism, only darker, more hate-filled. We also notice now, that secular Arab nationalism has decided the secular monsters like Al-Sisi and Assad, are better than Islamists like Mohammed Morsi and Tayyip Erdogan. It is a choice that must touch fearsome emotions. ''Loyalty with honour, obedience in dignity.' I first heard this statement long ago during a debate at an academic institute in the continent: Why no French Obama!? He will come alright. But first, the civil war. Francois Hollande has promised France will be utterly ruthless. I guess they are well matched. The Jihadists of ISIS don't come kind neither. PARIS TRAPPED INTO TOTAL WAR.
We lived in the dark ages searching for light You were either with this side or that side And when we went to all out war, caliphate versus republic We carried everything to the battlefield except our humanity!
Come! O Civilisation! You sure keeping me waiting a long time! Show me a ray of hope at the end of this long tunnel of darkness!
Liberte! Fraternite! Solidarite! Some Alibaba changed the cave codes!–-See the polls, of the French people who would accept an authoritarian regime to fix the country! A 2/3rds majority! and then from a French newspaper These monarchies of the Gulf, who by their defence procurements have bought the conscience of the French establishment, turning it into their hireling and stooge, might they reflect these lines from the French national anthem? With luxury and pride surrounded The vile insatiate despots dare, Their thirst of power and gold unbounded, To mete and vend the light and air! (repeat) One gotta ask these questions. Now that the French are having a civil war amongst themselves openly in their own land, with on one side, the establishment insisting PICOT SYKES must stay. The opposing side may assimilate that as this line from the national anthem: like beasts of burden would they loads us
.. Uh huh!? Then on the other side, hearing shouts of Allah Akhbar accompanying gunshots, them that defend the republic call to arms thus ... (hear) The roar of those ferocious soldiers? They're coming right into our arms To cut the throats of our sons, our women!Looking at French newspapers screaming carnage, spotting the photos of bleeding young French beauties who had turned out smartly for a concert --- the ferocious Jihadist out to cut the throat of our sons, our daughters, seems more than apt! This quagmire wont be easy for the fifth republic of France. It is a poisoned republic. It has to detoxify. The poison of hate is what its life glands are secreting into its blood streams. Does it implode? There is an African folk tale about a giant who went to the jungle to hunt some big game, but got bitten by a small poisonous snake. And slowly the poison began to turn him mad. May be in another variation, the giant went to hunt a monster in the desert, got bitten by a small scorpion, and slowly turned mad. There will be a reckless revision of security laws to make them more draconian when parliament meets next week. And we know whose balls they will squeeze! The president of the republic himself promised it: we will be totally ruthless! some small scorpion in the desert turned his mind, no!?

HAS ISIS DISPERSED THE WITS OF THESE LEADERS? It was an odd feeling, watching all these world leaders in the so-called G-20 summit hosted by the Turks in Antalya. Next door was Syria, a version of hell on earth. Half the population is reported on the move. One would think that is enough of an apocalypse. Then too, a stone's throw away, was Iraq, a sectarian mess whose war is as messy as the one in Yemen. And there were all these leaders of these important nations so clueless, the image of a headless chicken becomes apt. They adopted a resolution to rain bombs on Syria. Pitiless is the code word. Putin wants his pounds of mangled flesh and fountains of blood in equal measure to Hollande of France. Paris was attacked, a Russian holiday jet blown out of the skies, over 370 lives lost. That is of course not comparable to the over 1.2M killed in Iraq over the past decade or so. Neither did the word Palestine feature in the discussions of these world leaders. –--It is an odd feeling, so many powerful men together, avoiding powerful problems, adopting side shows. I think it is a warning just as to how bad things are. If ISIS is a cult of blood, it would seem they have converted Putin and Hollande, and the rest joining the promised bloodletting, to their cult. Welcome to the slaughter house. In classical thinking, that is a civilisation run aground –--like the Maya and Aztecs at the peak of their human sacrifices.

Lame Duck Obama and Vladimir the Bomber.
In their proxy war over Syria, they have some very unrully pawns. One of them just shot down a Russian jet.
It would be a hilarious incident if it weren't for the middle east. One, the big man Putin ran into a jab and has a painful swollen and blind eye. His plane SU-24 was totally outclassed.There wwas no dog fight. It was just tossed off the air by the Turks running US hardware.
That is the silent boast.
2. A second rate Muslim power just kicked the balls of a Caucasian bully running amok in indiscriminate bombing of a Muslim population! And what can Russia do? Issue idle threats but balk away from the NATO steel in the shadows egging Erdogan on.
It means Russia will retaliate assymetrically. And that now is why more sh.it will happen. Cameron is dispatching an old warship to beef up Turkey! That's cheeky given the French aircraft carrier is moving their to cooperate with the Russians!
What a mess! And its just starting!

THE COALITION AGAINST THE ISIS AS A HOUSE OF CARDS.1. SHOOT DOWN OVER TURKEY, SORRY, OVER SYRIA. Turkish president Tayyip Erdogan pulled a fast one. Vladimir Putin walked into a trap. One he had helped set himself. To coordinate the saturated airspace above Syria, the Kremlin had filed its flight plans with NATO's top dog, the USA. Hence did Turkey, a practicing member of NATO, access them and waylay the plane. Neo-cons in the Obama adminstratation wouldn't miss the chance. No sooner had the incident broken than Turkey reminded NATO of the pact: an attack on one is an attack on all. Then the Turks put on a poker face and waited for the Russians to come on. Earlier on the Russians had scathed a convoy of trucks ferrying contraband oil from ISIS oilfields. Word had it they had obliterated up to 500 of them beasts. That is costly for any company. But that dear convoy was actually not the property of ISIS. It belonged to a legitimate Turkish trading company, so a case could be made of a foreign power hitting and hurting the economic vitals of Turkey, then boasting about it by violating Turkish airspace. If a nation got the ability, and the guts, and a military organisation like NATO for back up, it will surely stand up and be counted in such a situation. 17 seconds the Sukov-24 strayed into Turkish airspace: BAM! End of its life, and the pilot's too. (Even ace F-16s cannot be SCRAMBLED UP in 10 seconds. To accomplish their mission in 17 seconds of airspace violation, they have to have been patrolling with primed weapons, a prepared ambush. Then there is the story of three warnings! all within the same 17 seconds covering violation and shoot down. it is not a serious story. The serious story is the consequences of the 17-second episode above wherever!) Vladimir Putin had his eyes jabbed black. In public. Now he could do his worst. Turkey is no match for Russia, but with NATO stiffening their backbone, things even up. And the egos are Sultanic and Czarish imperial. It will be noted that the Russian/Syrian rescue mission with a helicopter, run into sophisticated fire from the ground from Turkmen rebel positions. It was lethal American material they had in tow, and these showed class by spilling more Russian blood and neutralising the chopper. Another jab right home. The treatment of the injured and dying Russian too, informed of the barbarism of currents down below. Smarting and in fury, Vladimir Putin refused to shake Tayyip Reccep Erdogan's hand in Paris during the climate conference. The Turk had refused to apologise to the Russian's heart. The Russian had used words to the effect he had been knifed in the back. -There is a way this imagery disturbs Turkish sensibilities because it plays to a certain Ottoman stereotype cultivated by historic Tsarist and orthodox (Christian) Russia. Turkish social media went haywire. How could Turkey apologise to war criminal Putin? Photographs and videos of Turkmen villages and markets taking full hits from indiscriminate Russian bombing, dismembering women and children, offered as evidence by Turkish nationalists. The Ankara political class could not climb down that easy. Putin too had his ultra nationalists breathing down his neck, using racist slurs on Turks. An incident which could have been resolved quietly, had escalated into a stalemate. 'You will regret heavily, and we will not cease to painfully remind you of this with harsh punishment!' Czar Putin vowed in a threat to the Turkish leadership. ' Stop playing with fire. You will get burnt!' Sultan Erdogan shot back. Russia has subsequently announced a package of economic sanctions, the most interesting of which is the suspension of work and talks on the Turkstream Gas Pipeline. Some say good riddance. Project was not viable anyway. The Turks reckon they can ride Russia's sanctions as ineffectual pin-pricks. The EU elite, fearing a population revolt on the issue of a Tsunami of refugees -framed by right wing parties as Islamic terrorist foraging group---- desperately needs Turkey to hem in Syrians, and is desperate to pay the price Erdogan asks for. Even fast-track the stalled elevation to the crumbling Union headquartered at Brussels. In fact Turkey is so confident she has signalled she can 'LIMITEDLY' close the Bosphorous for Russian ships, naval or commercial. This Sub Nato action was just as the President of France was in Moscow, soliciting for Russia's naval support in the Mediterranean Sea. This is of course the same Hollande who rescinded, on USA orders --threats of sanctions and fines which could bankrupt her shaky banks, on the concluded sale of Mistral warships to Russia. The Mistral. So France joined the sanctions regime against Putin's Russia over the Ukraine 'invasion' and the 'annexation' of the Crimea. That now looks ages ago. Terrorism can indeed strike anywhere. According to Russia, terrorists struck the electricity power lines and delivery system to the Crimea. These terrorists operate out of the republic of Ukraine led by Petro Poroshenko, a NATO candidate republic itself complaining Russia is abeting and aiding terrorists in her Eastern separatist area, Novorussia. So, will France Hollande share intelligence on that with Russia Putin!? Some are giggling. The Russians are grinning and winking to punctuate their No-Comments. WHO AUTHORISED THE OPEN SKIES POLICY OVER SYRIA?Anybody who can fly anything that can kill seems to do it over Syria. But on whose authority? Britain and Germany are the latest parliaments to send their wargear and kill-power for display over sandy killing fields of Arabia. There is neither a United Nations resolution deemed necessary, nor readings of international law. That makes it the RIGHT of MIGHT.I remember Rambo: No Man, No law, No Nothing can stop him!It is the law of the Jungle out there then. The laws of the jungle applied to the desert. --Come on Hammurabi! I hear your old bones creaking after centuries in the tomb! Your law will rule, Ol' fella! --------- FOOTNOTE: a review of the assembled kill-power of the coalition in Syria, in when time allows. With a star role for Germany! --or her defense minister in the Merkel sucession! 2. THE PARAMETERS OF THE HOUSE OF CARDS who knows? .

CONTAINMENT: THE LONG BOMBING WAR COMING.Continued. The house of cards is standing tall. The castle shines on a foundation of quicksands: desert mirages O fairy tales! The coalitions active in Syria are held together by the slime of treacheries in the heart of man; every actor his own private game plan, masks of radiant smiles promising freedom, yet labyrinthine and poisonous stratagems to dominate wealth. Welcome to the Syrian theatre of the absurd. In the last two days two spectacular events have raised the stakes. 1. The coalition bombed a Syrian Army base and DIRECTLY drew blood for the first time from the ranks of Assad. They have called Putin's bluff with his S-series of air-defence systems: S-400, s-300, operationalised recently over Syria in a projection of power. Somebody is playing him for a joker. 2. Turkey has militarily moved to virtually occupy the Iraqi province of Nineveh, headquarters Mosul. This city nearly into the Kurdish Autonomous region is currently under the control of the ISIS. As a former province of the Ottoman Empire, I believe the Turks have a different name for it from those days of old! (Just like I don't remember Saddam Hussein ever using the name Kuwait during his short-lived occupation of that former province. Earlier on I mused BLOOD IS CHEAPER THAN OIL All these armies gathered for the kill They all agree on one thing They do the bombing, Arabs do the dying!Aren't all Arabs Muslim anyway? And aren't all Muslims terrorists anyway? And aren't all terrorists outlaws anyway? Come to think of it: what else explains the lack of outrage at the massive deaths inflicted upon the civilian population in these gulf wars? The only question is: Has the price of Arab blood hit rock bottom, Or can a deal still be stuck to sell it cheaper? Methinks there is still a downward latitude as they say, a favourable elasticity in the price. Remember why the word genocide could not be used in the Congo nor in South Sudan?(I tell you blood can be that cheap!) At a first glance, the Syrian chapter of the ISIS is finished. The metastised spores unto Libya, Sinai and Tunesia are stories for another day. The Iraqi franchise with its alienated Sunni population as bedrock still has a life line. But then, a second look at the Syrian theatre of death reveals the armies arraigned against ISIL are a hoax, in so far as what their stated purpose is. Nay, they do not add up to a scheme past a game of poker, nor, bloodily so, they venture not beyond the old game of oil and gas pipeline routes, and, of course, the control of them fields. This stuff requires the subjugation of the peoples atop those wealths, or their erasure, that is if not by genocide then exodus. We use the religious word 'cleansing' these days, you know, like in ethnic cleansing. A bit of a round-up:The Syrian Arab Army (SAA), Lebanon's Hezbollah, and an assortment of brigades from Iran's revolutionary guards, are the punching power on the ground against ISIS and other allied Jihadists -including the moderates funded by the CIA. They are all bent on regime change: ASSAD MUST GO they chant, Saudi Arabia nodding. The United States of Obama and this Union of Jihadists in Syria, do share a clear and defined goal. One denies that at his own peril. Denying the non-existence of a fighting moderate force too, is an exercise in self-delusion, but surprise surprise! Prime Minister David Cameron of the UK stated for a fact there are 70 thousand of them moderates out there in combat, and they are the ground troops to topple Assad with the royal airforce backing up. It would appear that, just like his predecessor Tony Blair, David must have a very strong lying gene. (But a man who skullfacked P-)a pig's grinning death mask may have one or two loose nuts upstairs too). Beefing up the remnants of the Syrian airforce much decimated at the hands Jihadists spotting hot American gear, are of course the beasts or bears from Moscow. And Putin has given them the free reign. It is a rolling thunderous bombing campaign reminiscent of the American destruction of North Vietnam and Cambodia. Vietnam conflict led to an operation of gradual and sustained U.S. aerial bombardment of North Vietnam known as Operation Rolling Thunder.Putin has opened himself wide for charges of crimes against humanity. He may be too powerful to indict or take to the Hague, but as Arab news media begin to focus on the mangled corpses of (Sunni) Arab women and children, Putin's standing is heading toward George Dubya Bush's ratings. On the ground too are the Kurds organised in the PYD (Kurdish Democratic Party). For now their agenda makes them Assad's allies and too, the Americans have been keen to use them as a proxy militia against the ISIS. But because they are allied to the PKK, a registered terrorist organisation in Turkey and the European Union, the Americans like to play them as a bargaining chip with Turkey. NB: You have to hand it to the Americans on this one: What they did to have Turkey agree to have the Incirlik airbase availed for staging bombing runs. www.voanews.com/content/us-turkey-differ-over-how-to-fight-is-from-turkish-air-base/2886887.html [/i] [/quote] So to secure a deal the USA leaked a few important frontline positions of the PYD to the Turks. The Turks sorted them out with their own airforce, ushering in their own proxy militia, the Turkmen! This is war, and that is skulduggery. Hezbollah too is of course a T-organisation, and Dave Cameron would rather do live pigs live on TV than be caught in bed with Nasrallah, spiritual leader of the Lebanese Shiite militancy. No British General is of course ever going to be near harm' s way like these hard men delivering the fight to the terrorist organisation, and paying the highest price. Brigadier General Hossein Hamedani, senior Iranian commander killed in Syria. Such is the nature of reality at the deathfront. Far from the cosy offices of PR London. The Kurds themselves can hardly be said to be a united front in the chaos of the middle east. Pan Kurdish spoken, they are at a near civil war. The story starts at the Autonomous Kurdish region in Iraq, KRG, where Massoud Brazani, the prefect or President, or proconsul if you like, has refused to surrender power after his constitutional term expired. The bugger has done a Pierre Nkurunziza, for those who know the sad story of Burundi. Subsequently Riots and shootings erupted in Erbil and Sulaymaniyah, the bigs cities of Iraqi Kurdistan, parliament was suspended and legislators fled to avoid arrest, and now like Libya which has two seats of power in different cities far apart, iraqi Kurdistan is a tale of two capitals. This internal strife means their battle agains ISIS in Iraq has been faultering if not in the back burner, wherefore US marines have heard to break their word to the American people and enter direct combat. It couldn't be hidden when a senior marine died in a 'rescue operation' so-called. This American support for the corrupt elite in Iraqi Kurdistan comes at a price. They must have no time for the radical PKK, wherefore they long did an oil deal with Erdogan of Turkey. Turkey is the major buyer of Iraqi oil from Kurdistan, something which, officially, should go through Baghdad. And it doesn't. And wont. The laws of profit and the constellations of sectarianism forbid it, not to mention raw corruption and power thirst. Baghdad is a Shiite nest. Arming it with more petro dollars is beefing up Iranian radius. No way, both in Ankara and Washington, and Tel Aviv, no way. Now Barzani, besieged at home pas his sell by date, has done a deal with the Turks to facilitate the later's annexation of the Mosul area oil fields. If the Russian airforce have stopped the Syrian smuggling route, another need must be opened. Iraq is game. Then another sad fact: there is a dispute of volcanic proportions about a large oil field around the border town of Kirkuk, shared by both Arabs and Kurds, and the rest. A bit of ethnic cleansing aided by American oil dealers while their marines are stationed in Iraqi Kurdistan could work wonders in the future. That is a game in town too, and some Sunni youth have joined ISIS simply to hone their battle skills for an oil territorial war they reckon must come sooner or later, between them and the Kurds, and their American backers. And all these mean Iraqi Kurds have their hands full without wading into Syria in support of the PYD, under the pan-Kurdish banner. And we have not mentioned 2 other factors in the quagmire yet; 1. The militant Islamic factor/tendency in Kurdish nationalism It is fighting its way up as an alternative to the corruption of the secular ideologies dominant in whatever Kurdistan. 2. The prime movers of the mayhem in Syria. Saudi Arabia and her royal gulf allies like Qatar and the UAE. They supply both ideology and American weaponry to the Jihadist front in Syria and other spawns beyond. And they do this to the hilt. And will get away with it. Again and again, just like the September 11 New York sky-show was mostly a Saudi Arabs thing ... yet it was Saddam's Iraq which was fingered to pay the price, of dismemberment. These gulf monarchies, apart from the oil and gas guarantees to the West, courtesy of an old deal between POTUS Franklind D. Roosevelt and King Abd al-Aziz ibn Saud, founder of modern Saudi Arabia, are also lynch pins in the security arrangement in geo-political terms, underlying Western dominance in the troubled region. Their fates are intertwined. This was the deal of the millennium I would think. Not even the Molotov-Ribbentrop to carve up Poland is worth a mention here, nor the Picot-Sykes in this thread. And as the Western armies gather to war in Syria, this deal of 1945 is still the one running the show: Roosevelt-AndulAziz, Oil for security. The West just have to find something cheaper, mor efficient and more abundant elsewhere than gas and oil in the middle east, before they can tear up this deal. With China rising, and its appetite for the same known, even thinking about an end to this deal is HARAM in the West. Saudi Arabia has free play. Only her own internal contradictions are the leash, and the pitfall. Britain, France, Germany, Israel, they are all ever been pushing and rushing to compete the USA in having a slice of the cake of arms sales, and the other goodies purchased by the oil sheikhs of the gulf. Hooked to this lucrative business the Western elites are, just like the Saudi elites are hooked to their Wahabism. It is an awkward tango, but the profits make it worthwhile. Faced with the real possibility of sending ground troops to Syria, where white young men from Europe would square off against terrorists wielding the weapons their own parents make in European and American factories, men like David Cameron have taken flights of fantasy: no need, there are already 70,000 ground troops in Syria doing the work. All they need is air support! Assad must go! ISIS must be annihilated. But no ground troops from the West! So this air campaign is open-ended. It is called containment. But where do broken states go? And what do their peoples do, open-ended? For starters may be they run away from the bombs and their destroyed homeland, becoming refugees disturbing the social balance of neighbouring and further off states! Who knows whether that is not the purpose of the relentless bombing, clear off the people so that pipelines can pass undisturbed! Frankly talking Zbigniew Brzezinski: FOOTNOTE: France moves from Assad must go to Assad is the lesser evil. Amd Hollande becomes an accomplice to Putin's war crimes in Syria. We survey the horizon for the blowbacks. -For starters Hollande already lost the regional elections at home.

THE PERIPHERY EXPORTS A CONTRADICTION. Take 2.As the Old settlement known as the Picot-Sykes reaches its historical end-date, the bath pangs of a new arrangement are being heard in very surprising quarters. We will handle Denmark today. (in the bigger picture, the USA and Russia are trying to use the United Nations to conjure up a new arrangement, having come to the conclusion cooperation or at least de-escalation is better than confrontation thereabouts. There have been several close-shave incidents over the skies of Syria). But Denmark then. The manifestation of the middle-eastern rebound in that small country, is only slightly different from the other bigger countries like France. In France, the war-president act of Hollande has not taken off, so the socialists and the republican right have been forced to bundle candidates to see off a determined challenge from the radical nationalists of Le Pen the daughter. This rebellion is organised in the National Front, and the chief platform is anti-Muslim xenophobia. In Germany, Angela Merkel has been shot down from her moral high-horse policy of open doors for refugees. That the real Merkelian reason is to poach skilled labour for a song, force down German wages and increase the competitiveness of German goods both at home and abroad, is still lost in the cacophony of xenophobia washing over European politics. And that -- good cheap labour-- is as good a reason as they come in capitalism. German women, including Merkel herself, are barely replacing themselves. If one can't manufacture enough Germans at home, importing the raw materials to be fashioned into Germans is not a bad idea. The risk that millions of imported Turks have not been Germanised enough and so the Merkelian experiment could be doomed to failure, is the subtext of much soul searching. We will visit that later. Perhaps when we do PEGIDA. Today Denmark. The stream of refugees has forced Denmark into a moral bankruptcy. However, the news is, openly so, (since usually moral bankruptcies in politics is hidden by a careful overlay of make-up from the labs of PR-men and spin docs!) www.thelocal.dk/20151207/danish-politicians-want-to-confiscate-valuables-from-refugees That word ' Strip' has interesting echoes in modern European self-image, that is the post world-war narrative which offers the holocaust as the worst crime in all history, the most absolute. --NEVER AGAIN! All the books cry! First: strip was the poetical word for what a regiment of battlefield vultures did after the killing had stopped. These scavenger labour-gang stripped the dead soldiers of their valuables, all valuables, and should some still be alive, dispatched them (euthanasia?) quickly in order to peacefully relieve them of the valuables. Grave robbers are also charmingly referred to as stripers, a kind of go-go girls on the pole. 2nd. During the second world war, the Jewish people in NAZI-occupied Europe were stripped. And before they were either executed or herded into the gas-chambers or high-performance German ovens, they were stripped even of their body hair. Bald. Their teeth too were harvested, like ivory you know. (That is the dark side of German resourcefulness and economic resolve in action!) All these have given the word STRIP, even in nightclubs, a dangerous ring in Europe. Right Wing party propagandists therefore know very well the codes they hit when they used the word in relation to unwanted foreigners with stagnant religions, swarming the holy Christian continent. After writers like Huntington intoxicated the White Westerners with marketable poison like the clash of civilisations, and went on further to insist Islam is the harbinger of evil, the flow of refugees from the middle east, whether Christian Syrians, when expertly manipulated by insecure political elites, perfectly fits the narrative of the end of times, apocalypse now. And so right wing xenophobes and their radical allies are on an electoral roll, forcing a re-alignment of social forces. Martin Henriksen and Integration Minister Inger Støjberg.

It is only that people like Rotich and Thugge have made a mess of our savings accounts, and we have become beggars whose tongues must beware lest they sleep hungry, otherwise the idea of this Denmark, this refugee-stripping scavenger, sprinkling cash on the ground for Ouru and Ruto to bend their prideless backs scooping up, would be a non-starter. Better would be to politely decline and advise them to rather spend it at home, weaning their sickly prejudiced population off anti-Muslim xenophobia. Alas! Thieves have no morals! Neither dignity, nor pride anywhere. But above all, the thieves running Nairobi. China 15bn, Denmark 15bn! Yawa, I couldn't help noticing the coincidence! Anyway we are all mighty grateful, decorum demands we are! Chinese Minister for Commerce Gao Hucheng and Mof David Rotich as HE Kenyatta claps on. (even then) Such a thing as free lunch!? This epidemic of kindly hearts from foreign shores -giving, granting, awarding-- to Kenya, I ask you from the guts, such a thing as a free lunch exists!? Back to contradictions from the middle east re-exported. As the combined action of ISIS terror and European bombings (to clear pipeline routes of inhabitants?) generates a stream of refugees heading North to disturb the cosiness of the Christian paradises, happening is that the foundations of the post-war European neo-liberal moral white elephant project, shake dangerously. If the Danes are ready to strip refugees of their wedding rings, the EU is ready to turn the Greek archipelago into prison islands or concentration camps; ready to accept anything from the Turks so long they become a loyal sentry keeping the oriental vermin at bay; and, like France which already has, ready to criminalise all its existent Muslim population by unleashing intrusive state secret services on all of them. It is called screening! Screening the fifth column within! By this time, nobody really takes seriously the post-world war II moral settlement based on the revulsion at the horror of the victimisation of the European Jews at the hands of pathological xenophobia and anti-Semitism. To crown it, at last weeks conference of European leaders, a Northern country floated the balloon of Europe Union collectively withdrawing from the Geneva conventions on refugees! --that is the charter governing hospitality or the rights to asylum anywhere. No, Muslims should have no rights of asylum to European countries! Remember what happened when George Bush agreed to be convinced (see torture memo by prof. John Woo of Stanford) that Talibhan and Al-Qaeda prisoners were (enemy combatants?) not governed by other Geneva conventions on war prisoners. We have had Harvard professors at law like Obama hardly able to convince even themselves, let alone keep the act in public, that Guantanamo Bay is in defence of freedom, etc etc. For those who know the depths of thought Europe underwent to come up with what is called the renaissance package, and the historical evolution of the human struggle for justice and humaneness, which finally produced such charters as the Geneva conventions ( which we Kenyans too want to opt out of on account of the ICC issue), these kind of antics from the so-called developed countries point to atavism. The resurgence of a dark past. (precisely what they accuse the Muslim world of being stuck at!) How dark? It is all there in the history books! The fish has started to rot at the head. We witness it live within the western elite. And ISIS is the ruthless catalyst. Now I wonder whether this ISIS is better categorised an enzyme or a pathogen! I will think on that! But I know ISIS has already unhinged Europe. East European leaders are categoric: No Muslims. Or the EU go to hell! And the polls say that is what their (white Christian people) okay with.

THE BLIND SPOTS OF VLADIMIR PUTIN IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND THE OTHERSI will remember The pitfalls of nationalist consciousness by Frantz Fanon. Still, there are some
. self-immolation of a monk to protest Han-Chinese take-over of curriculum in monastery.loose ends about nationalism which have not been tied up, and even if we are in the supra-national states -with big blocks like the EU, ASEAN, NAFTA, TIPP, Eurasia and the rest--- where capital knows no borders so to speak in its global circulation, I am not ready to subsume the passions, and the intensity of resolves with which the late nations are out to pursue their dreams to self-determination. Here are a few of 'the national question'. Uighurs (from Xinjiang in Greater China), Tibetans, Saharawi, Tuaregs, Turkmen, Chechnya, Kurds, Kashmiris, and of course the Palestinians. The romance between national liberation and (what the oppressive power structure calls) terrorism is well documented, from Lenin to Mandela in the last century. It is therefore a likely possibility, that Islamic terrorism is a temporary home for the passions of national liberation, in the context of the collapse of secular resistance. And Pan-Islamic terror or global Jihadism, a reaction equivalent to the Global coalition on terror. It is an epic battle on a planetary scale. It is a case worth a think over. Mahamud Abbas holed in West Bank at Ramallah, is the head of the secular Palestinian resistance to Israeli colonialism. I think the consensus in Palestine is, he is a joke. And it is not clear if even he takes himself seriously. The Arab spring should have brought a bounty of secular progress to the peoples of that world. An appraisal now would reveal a collapsed secularism, an ideological void to be filled, to keep the liberation wake and its torch desperately burning somehow.. The secular ex-Field-Marshal, General Abdel Fatah-Al Sisi, the Egyptian head of state, is the current face of a secular post-Arab-Spring order. Methinks he looks more like the past than a promising future. Those thinking ahead can only consider his system a relic. (He is Putin's great friend, until the bomb in the metro jet farted on it) Looking at the mass uprising which heralded the Arab spring, seeing it was deniably a popular revolt denoting a desire for a new deal, containing it or thwarting it toto as the likes of Sisi and the gulf monarchs propose, will require an extraordinary dose of terrorism from the state itself. That terrorism will beget resistance, defined in the rule as terrorism! Putin made an extraordinary statement: it is futile to differentiate terrorists. There is no such thing like a good terrorist. This reveals he has an absolute definition of terrorism. But his confusion is quickly revealed when asked to call Hamas a terrorist organisation, or nominal ally Hezbollah, which would put him intellectually at consensus with Bibi Netanyahu and the neo-con American thinktankship (in their analysis of the middle eastern situation). THE CHECHEN RAT IN THE RUSSIAN TRUNK. Given the overwhelming force of Russian power against Chechen emancipation from the bear's pawy embrace, a Chechen nationalist aspiration which will not bend to Russia, may not have any other options than embracing a suicidal cult. Remembering Dudayev, Maskadov, and a few others who tried different and before that That is to give a short insight into the hiatus in the mind of a Great Russian Patriot like Vladimir Putin. He is terrified of free and fair elections in Great Russia. Lots of peoples apart from Chechens may want to bolt out. And Putin has come to Syria to try and extinguish the TERRORISTS whose dream is an independent Chechnya. This has already cost the lives of two elected presidents, Maskadov and Dudayev! The UN referred to Grozny as the most destroyed city on earth!Is this Russian way of dealing with terrorists, a template now exported to Syria? Well, the idea of another man's terrorist being another man's freedom fighter looms large. Putin can not sort out the terrorist problem in the middle east with a blanket all terrorists are terrorists. We will visit the Uighur homeland and find out what the sensitivities of Africa's great friend, China, are in that place. Some Uighurs say the Han Chinese are using a population bomb to make them a minority in their homeland, just like the so-called Han Tsunami over Tibet. Protest against Chinese rule in Urumqi.The passions of Tibetan independece against the power of Unitary China. The 'argument' continues, but a dialogue of the deaf. NOTA BENE The super powers have combined to revise picot-sykes, and as they say, are bent to serve old wine in a new bottle. In other words, powerful colonial foreigners meet in secret and divide up the middle east once again. John Kerry and Sergei Lavrov work at it, just like Molotov and Von Rubbentrop of old about Poland, then Obama and Putin endorse, with nod from Xi Jinpin in China. The allies carving up Berlin. And then so it has to be. I am not impressed. The devil is out there laughing at the Kerry-Lavrov love fest. The devil is called self-determination. A people's historical obsession with it is a demonic force. Kerry and Lavrov subsume Palestinian self-determination, Kashmiri Kurdish Uighur, and the rest of ethnicities with dispersed state loyalties. Like Turkmen in Syria. Two sectarian Christian nations drawing up a settlement of the Muslim middle east without bothering a hoot about the Arab spring/street and the rest!? Where did I see that before? Picot Sykes shortchanging Lawrence of Arabia?And what happened next?

WHAT HAPPENED AT COLOGNE ON NEW YEAR'S EVE 2016?The Periphery (re)exports a contradiction, 3b Germany. It was a touch-dishevelled Angela Merkel who appeared on national TV to address the nation in the aftermath of what is now the infamous Cologne Sex Attacks. That anger is partly due to an attempted cover up. And more, due to an emerging pattern across the land. But there is more of course. There is race, for instance. But that is Euronews being friendly to you. In Germany, the uncensored, gut-wrenching reports read like this Migrants Brawl! Rape! sexually Assault! That is incendiary, for the colour of the women assaulted is holy. Frau Merkel had obviously been wheeled out quickly to attend to a national emergency, and the impromptu nature of the call meant the 'grimeurs' had not had the time indulge themselves brushing her over thoroughly, to groom her posh, as is customary when she goes for a scheduled live show. As the African people say, when you see a frog jumping in broad daylight, there could be a distant Tsunami arising, coming. The year ending 2015, Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany was named person of the year, and not just by TIME magazine alone. This was to salute her emergence from a cautious politician and orthodox iron lady, into a reckless and romantic leader. Cautious was were the days she was the last to have an opinion on anything important. And important things did happen in Europe. There was the separatist crisis in the Ukraine, the downing of flight MH 017, the annexation (or re-unification of the Crimea), and more. Resolute and orthodox was when she and her minister of Finance enforced the financial and political re-occupation of Greece, telling the Greeks it did not matter who they voted, the leaders would still do exactly as told by Germany. And they could take it and leave it (Quit the EU). It was a ruthlessness which stunned the Greeks but settled the matter. Merkel's coldness was also on show when the Palestinian refugee girl, Reem Sahwil, fluent in German and schooling in German, broke down after Merkel told her Germany can not be everybody's home and she would likely be deported. --If others only work hard to destroy their countries, Germany will seal her doors. The video went viral and Angela was reviled as an evil beyond compassion. But her coalition held, and fears about a Tsunami of brownies were assuaged, too soon apparently. Then, out of the blues --for those who have not been paying attention to the middle east, Angela Merkel turned Germany into the Mecca of all refugees. That there is the romantic angle. Detractors ridiculed it Germany's OPEN DOOR policy. 1 million and climbing, the refugee-meter registered. And the same people also laughed off the busy-bee Merkel as she charmed th Turk, Tayyip Erdogan with a river flow of Euros, to be the EU's sentry. The result of this European inertia and confusion has been the implosion of the free travel area known as the SchengenAnd why has it imploded? It is called Europe's refugee crisis. And what has been the tipping balance? The war in Syria. ---Syria? That is where we have Raqqa, the lair of the serpent. That is also where we have Latakhia, an airbase leased to Russia, and from which the Russian airforce has been flying indiscrminate sorties whose effect has been a further displacement of people. So too the NATO-allied bombings. The countries around Syria are bursting with refugees and the pressure to move further is so great, swimming the Aegean sea from Turkey to Greece is like a daily option. The massive daily deaths by drowning confronting Greek fishermen tells the story. AYLAN AL-KURDI May be that is what broke Merkel's hard heart! Well, it is too late. The European streets want to be white. And some politicians are cashing in. A recently elected leader in Poland said so ---no to dark foreigners, and TV stations which refuse to support that message have been, by law enacted in majority one-party parliament, changed in mandate and resisting journalists fired immediately. The EU should suspend Poland because of that is a breach of accepted media statutes, but the poles have threatened to propose an EU-wide referendum on the issue! Everybody knows what that means ----(The Orbanisation of Europe) Hungary is hoping to finish erecting a 175km razor-wire fence in the next few days [Reuters] Now there is this (Cologne) story dominating the European popular press, the story of foreign, dark and black young men organised in sexual gangs out to feast, traffic, rape and subject white women to sexual slavery. And now, this worst fear of white patriarchy is no longer happening far in the colonies in barbarian lands where the likes of Sir Rider Haggard went to tame Sambo and have a taste of his daughter in turn, no, the infamy is happening right in the center of civilised European cities! --and the demon Angela Merkel is to blame! A narrative is constructed of accommodating policemen and politicians who, now, advise the white women themselves to change their behaviour, like enter a period of voluntary curfew, house-arrest for flowering daughters, chaste dress or burqas instead of provocative reveal alls, and, importantly, neither smile nor stare into the eyes of the Afro-Arab monsters, Animist or Muslim. A spectre is haunting europe, an epidemic of imported sexual predators incensed for white puzzy is marauding through white cities. And worse, the extreme right wing press has found a real big drum to beat a scare into a not so sophisticated lot who, otherwise, would exploded their anger on bankers who have abused them so much in the past in conjunction with their politicians.They say the foreign young men are a fifth column who have a militant terrorist group egging their evil on, calling it religious duty. Not only have the slave markets for white women been re-opened in the middle east, refuge dwellings and hostels are rape dens in themselves for captured white females, all in the name of Allah! Add these to the recent attacks in Paris and Charlie Hebdoo earlier, and the suspicion evolves into active paranoia. The ingredients are there for a terrible backlash. Panicking politicians are already meeting to change laws, and yes, those laws target a specific group. That is dark in Germany with a past to mull over Let us hope out there is a real moral Merkel yet to fully emerge and steer Germany and the EU away from igniting a racial world war.

A tinderbox.
I have two academic interests in the middle east. These are the fate of two nationalisms late in their quest for a homeland, an own state: the Kurds and the Palestinians. There are others but to prevent a quagmire I restrict myself to these two, for the moment.
Now that Old Picot-Sykes has become a running belly with the whole middle east perpetually hunkering around the toilet, diarhearing blood, the doctors writing prescriptions and pepping her up do not seem interested in treating the headache too. --There are peace conferences over Syria where the words Kurdistan, Golan Heights and Palestina are taboo.
Syria lost the Golan Heights in a war to liberate Palestine from Zionist occupation. It is a detail one has to ignore deliberately since it can not be missed even by a fool. Okay, to prevent a quagmire at the table, and a tear at the throat, the fork must not be overloaded.
'I am the dry meat which fills the mouth!' an Egwugwu informs a mortal from Umofia in Achebe's masterpiece, Things Fall Apart. Ominously the deity had first asked: 'Serious body, do you know me!?' and the mortal responded: 'how can I know you father, you are beyond my knowledge!' thereafter came the hint I am the dry meat which fills the mouth!
Whether it was the Saudi-sponsored conference of selected Syrian opposition groups held in Riyadh and which John Kerry attended (December 2015), whether it was the doomed Geneva conference in which no seats were reserved for the major fighting forces on the ground (January 2016), or the (annual) Security Conference of Munich (February 2016), I have been pondering the question asked by an Egwugwu inside my drink: 'The body of Serious people, do you know me!' Where have the 450+ senior decision makers been, the last 5 years of the Serious war!? Aah yes, they have been making decisions! -Novorussia, Yemen, Libya, Syria! And I am still waiting for any leader in the hall all these years to mention these words in such a sentence: a post picot-Sykes settlement must accommodate the late nationalisms of the Kurdish and Palestinian people, in their own state. A peaceful and just middle east anchors the security of Europe, and the West!'
This is the reason I do not take these conferences seriously. But they are an important indicator of how the powers that be intend to defend their interests in the region. The decisions are about energy security, fuel prices, pipeline routes, military bases. They are decisions of conquest and subjugation. And decisions of conquest enforce decisions of resistance. And then war is an option never off the table. Picot Sykes is dead, long live Picot Sykes! The second coming of the Picot-Sykes! Aah Palestina, aah Kurdistan!

BROKEN STATES BLEED PEOPLE. TRICKLES BECOME FLOWS, and flows floods. The middle east refugee crisis blows up Europe. Takes the honours away from the Eurocrisis! It was a macabre, lugubrious and pathetic performance in Greece by Donald Tusk. The European chieftain told migrants not to waste their time coming north. But Greece is out of the Shengen, kicked out by a coalition of Balkan and East Europeans! Tusk and Tsipras. Migrants cross a field after they jumped a fence at the border between Greece and Macedonia --'The EU has until a March 7 summit with Turkey to curb the number of migrants coming to Europe or else the bloc's migration system might "completely break down", --migration commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos said. The crisis of a mismanaged backyard HOW DO CIVILISATIONS COLLAPSE? May be when the lives of children mean nothing to them. This here is an example of a terrifying crisis. The world's leading social media template, FACEBOOK, would have none of it. usuncut.com/world/facebook-banned-photos-europes-refugee-crisis/ Taking a toss of a coin let us mention a handful of currently, officially the most powerful people on Earth. Barack Obama, Vladimir Putin, Angela Merkel, Xi Jinpin, and say Mordi of India. These images are not worth their time. Obama had his wife pose over the Chibok girls, BRING BACK OUR GIRLS. But neither Barack nor Michelle can touch this. Now there is this man I was coming to: Donald Tusk. Donald who you say? --Duck or Trump!? No, Tusk. Donald Tusk. He is the president of the European Union --specifically, he is the president of the European Council. But these days the Union is more like a has been. With the implosion of the Shengen -free travel agreement between 28+ European states--- accords, the Union of course ceased to exist. What remains are kinds of cooperation. Reason? The refugee crisis. More specific, the influx of refugees who are non-white, and further, who do not profess Christianity as their leading faith. The average European citizen profile, Christian and white, will have nothing of it. Angela Merkel of Germany thought otherwise for a moment. She authored a -now much ridiculed-- humanitarian policy dubbed open doors, but the backlash has seen her legendary reputation mutate from the iron captain competently running the ship, to Germany's hate figure of historic proportions. IDOMENI CROSSING POINT, MACEDONIA March 7. European leaders meet in Brussels for the so-called refugee top (summit).

PUTIN AND OBAMA OFF THE FUTURE a tale of lame ducks! PICOT-SYKES Was 100 on the 16th of May this year 2016. That is the birthday date they call a centenary I think. Meanwhile Putin and Obama just can not crack what is and not is a terrorist. I wish I could say 'who' is --political science would demand terrorist acts be classified under human action, but from the language the two competing imperial majesties have been using, a terrorist is not something human! Case closed. So, as the two boys b!tich around the point, their Generals, meanwhile as bloodthirsty as any middle eastern terrorist, rain death and destruction with indiscriminate pleasure, killing more Arab infants as terrorists. Those who follow the WATCHES from Arab and MONITORS from Islamic lands will know these civilian collateral damages are routine, which is why in Afghanistan and wild Pakistan, they have a commensurate nickname for Barrack Obama. There is even a joke about it: they will be terrorists anyway, killing them young is prudence. That is the bankruptcy of the current world order featuring Obama and Putin as lead actors. We, on the other hand, have no other option than to think on --past the end of history! Somewhere along the line we will of course then leave the two emperors to further indulge their confusion, and for Obama who is already on his lame duck stretch, indulge his irrelevance preparing for his memoirs. But before that, perhaps there is a mischievous Jack above in the tree under which Obash and Putish have been sleeping, the joker dropping stones alternatively on the giant's noses, wherefore, like Magog and Gog of the fairy tales, the Russian and American have awakened with more rage to expend rather than sense, and Muslim blood is the cheapest. Thus does their blindness talk instead of foresight. Well, men of their times, they are blinded by their own geo-political concerns. And it is those concerns and the power to effect them which they are sure they possess, that sustain the confusion in their minds. The horror which is the current middle east proves the agendas of these top people are but delusions resulting in a death cult. Not the death cult of ISIS, No, ISIS is death cult response to the death-cult software running far-off capitals, the new powers bent on their own Picot-Sykes solutions. We leave them to it. The sands are hot enough to vaporise delusions. OBAMA AN PUTIN AS THE PROUD INHERITORS OF PICOT-SYKESBoth men are Picot-Sykes analogue. Disciples. They are adherents to the contours of this great historical cage where the aspirations of the peoples of the middle east must be contained, --forever, or at least until the deserts have nothing more of value of which her peoples can be robbed. Obama and Putin are imperial guarantors to the colonial arrangement which, the politics of oil riches and sea-lanes too, was continued by the comprador Arab nationalists who inherited the colonial master's shoes. The state allies of both Russia and te USA in that region are still that comprador, and this is both sides, whether they are secular Arab nationalist or Islamic&Monarchist feudalists. The tragedy is, even as the facts on the ground forces Russia and the USA to form allies with other forces which have no loyalty to the Pico-Sykes arrangement, everybody knows these allies will be betrayed, soon. That is the looming tragedy of the Kurds. Betrayal once again, after use. The Kurdish state in toto, always looming at the historical horizons, is a no-go area for Russia and the US. Dispersed amongst the states of Syria, Iraq, Turkey and Iran, the Kurdish national question is a constipation beyond ignoring. It is a great Turkish ulcer too. Tough and powerful empires, like the current top dogs Russia and the USA, just like Britain and France 100 years ago, will always impose a ramshackle solution which pleases no one but their stalemated interests. In that scenario, the Kurds once again are the meal. Fattened only to be slaughtered for --when the chips are down, the Americans will betray the Kurds rather than force a split with the Turks. Russia too will not find profit in alienating Iran in supporting a launching of a Kurdish state in the middle east, even if that is tempting to annoy Turkey. And now, in the aftermath of the alleged Gulen-inspired coup in Turkey, thankfully thwarted due to the quick-witted calculations of the Russians in Syria, the vengeful Sultan in Ankara will appease Moscow, and Moscow no doubt will return the favour by tempering the Kurds of Syria. -- South Stream gas politics. It is the economy stupid. And so Picot-Sykes becomes Obama-Putin. No Kurdish state. -Notice please, the word Palestine has not yet appeared in this narrative, and popular wisdom has it is the most intractable problem of the middle east! My thinking is Palestine-Israel is not that much of a complicated problem. It is a straightforward colonial situation. That is an ABC problem in history. See Africa from 1880s for a bit of memory fresh up. Then crown it off with apartheid South Africa and her white supremacist myths. Bingo! MIDDLE EAST PROPER THEN: WHAT IS THE LEVANT AS A LAND MASS?(ISIS: Islamic state in Iraq and Syria yes; however, 'Syria' does not capture the meaning of Levant in Arabic. Levant goes all the way to Sinai in Egypt, and includes Lebanon and Jordan, as above! STOP PRESS: the first propaganda act of ISIS is of course its initials in Arabic (DAESH). It is ISIL, where the L is for Levant. When they crossed the border from (modern) Iraq to Syria, they elaborately made the point by a video much circulated in the middle east. They blew up the border post and burnt a large copy of the Picot-Sykes map. Every Arab gets it instinctively. (the way we Africans have an identifier with the words Berlin 1875! -Attempts to have the OAU, later AU, have an opinion on this date and incorporate it into a day of shame for instance, have all failed to date. Talk about hidden wounds and abscesses!)But back to Arabia and Picot-Sykes. After all, thinking about ISIL symbolically blowing up the Picot-Sykes map, did not Big Gamel Abdel Nasser while still a pan-Arab nationalist rising star, long ago popularise the same fantasy! And is it not so, that wild was the reception of the news, in every cave and camel tent! An Arab girl sang me a song she allegedly learnt from her illiterate grandmother in Jordan. Since Nasser, the Egyptian trouble-maker When I throw stones at my silly goat The thing bleats back: I will tell Nasser!
The old docile camels at my father's caravan Only answer to commands which end in Nasser!
The goats of Arabia are tired of passports The camels of Arabia are tired of papers They want to wander from Pakistan to Morroco ---unchecked like the will of Allah! Nasser! Nasser! Nasser! Is all they sing the whole day!NB: I told her one of my own. About Soweto Jive.During an emergency in apartheid in South Africa, the story goes, a drunken black bum was brutalised to death by the white police. He was an emigre to Soweto and his only price possession was a reed flute. He had many traditional tunes on it but nobody would pay a coin for them. Desperate, the creative man came up with a new one. And it began to pay drink as people dropped coins with winks. It was nicknamed President Mandela.Mandela was a terrorist prisoner serving life without parole at an Al-Catraz off cape town. Polsmoor. Yet this emigre had a 60 seconds instrumental jive which was popularly decoded as: Terrorist Mandela will be sworn in President Madiba Whites will bow to lick his hand and kiss his sh!tty a-ss And I will get more drunk than you think I now am!When he was caught drunk on the streets breaking a curfew, the police smashed his flute, and the man had the audacity to state the words of his flute. And the police murdered him on the spot.And that is the story behind the beat SOWETO JIVE! It treasures the memory of a rural flute whose words incensed a white racist cop to murder!Now lets find out what Arab sounds incense both Obama and Putin to indiscriminate murder in Arabia. Fiery Arab nationalist poets have always kept the vision alive. Bales of them by the truck loads died in the horrible prisons of the post-colonial dictators, whom they disparaged as 'Picot-Syklette rats'! This is from an Arab man cooked in a drum full of oil in Talmoor prison on the orders of Hafez al-Assad, the father of Bashir, the Syrian toy in Putin's pocket. THE BAATH PARTY SPLITS!
England and France have designed a cage Watch the twin Arab rats enjoy their fate Forever trapped in the routine of a slave!
Hafez and Hussein their names are the same!Perhaps now we can satirise The United States and Russia have inherited a cage! The Arabs busy about banging their heads on the wall Determined to break from the routine designed abroad.
Putin is Picot and Obama is Sykes and today is yesterday!Continued.

POST SCRIPT:Now: leaving the Kurdish areas in Turkey apart for the moment, what we have is a massive displacement of populations in Iraq and the Levant. The continual bombing of the Sunni areas of Iraq ever since the Bush's gulf wars, has reduced large swathes of the area back to the stone age period. An aerial of the recently liberated Fallujah follows the Kobani precedent -or should I say Carthago after Roman capture? A city in total ruins. The few remaining standing structures have to be destroyed to be saved. That is how the saying goes. Russia -if you remember their scorch-earth campaign in Chechnya, is doing the same in Syria, and Saudi Arabia and allies the same in Yemen. BOB MARLEY: -Well, it seems like total destruction is the only solution (-The Real Situation). General Says Fallujah 'fully liberated' from ISIS Missile aftermath in Aleppo Kobani liberated. Bob Marley: War. REAL SITUATION -BOB MARLEY INSIDE THE CAGE and cannibal rats The Shiite areas of Iraq are comfortable with closer links with the beacon Iran than patching up Iraq. The Kurds are okay with a collapsed Iraq so long the Arabs do not claim the RICH oil-fields in disputed areas like Kirkuk. That means the chaos is a good time to ethnically cleanse, and re-arrange stuff inside the Picot-Sykes cage. The Christian heritage of Iraq is being erased live (blowing up of sacred Tombs and forced conversion of those Christians not yet either dead nor fled). The Shiite and their allies in Syria know what awaits them should ISIL and allies win. It is a mutually assured mercilessness. In Syria, there have been countless ceasefires brockered locally to allow for the exchange of populations: the erasure of enclaves. The numbers are staggering, but cold detail is all Christians and Allawites and Shiites where possible, have chosen to go to Assad or Kurdish controlled areas. Anybody think they will come back when the war ends? Methinks the middle east is in a turmoil the parallel of the times of the Crusader upheaval. The cage will hold but within it a new arrangement of homogeneity. Then the cage will implode by virtue of a totally new reality -- like the collapse of the current Turkish state. But in their decision to be the iron-cast inheritors of the Picot-Sykes arrangement, Putin and Obama are yesterday's men. They can not contemplate a modified Picot-Sykes, an upgrade to respond to the new historical reality. But anyway, even in their own countries they are already past their peaks. Otherwise they would reform their countries first, before enforcing reforms elsewhere. (NB: there actually have been OPEN rumours John Kerry suggested the splitting of Syria) But then in his mind is a GAS PIPELINE to wean the EU off Russian gas! -Kill off both North and South streams! And Putin aint asleep! Nothing to do with the aspirations of the peoples of the middle east! Therefore they have nothing to offer the middle east apart from good old death and bad suffering. But death and suffering is something the Arabs are capable of inflicting upon themselves without outside help! With populations fleeing as a result of the super power mess, the scared Europeans have to pay the ' untrustworty' Turks to be the sentry. The sands are burning, the multitudes are running to somewhere cooler! There is a European saying which claims a Turk will always knife you in the back. It of course came from the brutal reality of occupation and resistance: Turks resisting better-armed colonists, had to waylay and kill the white enemy by surprise, using the --traditional -- weapons they could handle best, kitchen/butcher knives! I wager there are Turkish songs and much nationalist folklore about ' knife snipers' whose skills and kills in stealth compare the exploits of Chris Kyles, The American Sniper extraordinary! The mismatch in technology and firepower and war-intel sophistication in the current conflict must surely produce a saying about Arabs and terrorism! Muslims and barbarism! Islam and suicide bombers! An Arab drives a truck through a national day (Bastille) parade in Nice in France; flies a Jumbo into the Twin towers; opens fire on a Parisian street like an American wild-west blue on an Injun settlement; etc etc
. Political man or an animal? Let us think, and hard I suggest! I will be back. Hopefully more jovial! like about a world war on twitter because during the Wimbledon women's tennis final, the teat peaks of Serena Williams stuck out hard and provocative like a blacklivesmatter demo. Pilots forgot to bomb terrorist in Syria as they gaped rea time, and the French police forgot to scan their Arabs, with catastrophic results! here is a sneak preview Queen of the Court!

SLAUGHTER IN MOSUL, ON TO RAQQA
Whether they bathe themselves in own blood or let others prepare their bloodbath, I don't know which one is currently cheaper in the market: African or Arab blood! Whether they slaughter themselves with local implements, or let others from afar slaughter them with high-tech smarts, the two blood brothers are stiff competitors at the bottom end of life on Earth. Of African and Arab lower life forms!
Either way, at the beginning of this century, these nameless hordes of mass-graved Arabs and Africans remind me of the first lot in the machine chambers of the Titanic after it hit that iceberg. Doomed far below decks! Methinks our civilization needs a re-think. Mosul today is too beautiful a picture of destruction. Yet a beauty nobody seems to care about. Its creepily medieval, given it is 2017 and this is the era of smart-gadgets!

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED? MIST OVER THE BOMBING OF SYRIA What really happened in Syria early this month --April 2018!? I have been left high and dry with questions, reminding me of an incident from my early boyhood. There was this older local beauty I had been charging after as long as I could remember having eyes. An adolescent crush I suppose. When she teasingly yielded, I blasted away in less than 60 seconds, I think. Could be less, could be slightly longer. Irritated, she pinched and slapped me: 'He! Quick Shooter! You better practice cock control first, before you move to waste anybody's daughter's time! Do chicken, sheep and dogs first, until you are proficient to paddle non-stop from Utajo to Homa Bay, all weather round trip! Women are long-distance runners, they hate sprinters! When you are ready, come back for a return match!'No, the ladies of the Lake Islands were not known for diplomacy. Truth was delivered hot and sharp. You took the lesson in or you didn't. No, I wont incriminate myself by a further confessional, lest the animal rights people backdate charges against me for the sexual abuse of domestic animals. I sought my father's opinion. He was expressionless: 'Boy, if you are going to be a polygamist like me, the earlier the better you do whatever you must do to master your cock! Otherwise be a catholic pastor!'So I watched Trump coo on his triumph in Syria, and then I looked over at Russia, and I felt like: with so many lies, the truth is still out there. But what is it? How dangerous is it!? Can it continue like this? ANYWAY: FROM SALISBURY TO DOUMA. A DIALOGUE OF THE DEAF Soon after the controversial narrative of a NOVICHOK poisoning in Salisbury England of the Skripals, a former Russian double agent and his daughter, came the poisonous DOUMA story from Syria. A chemical gas attack. Russia turning a blind eye. Nikki Haley at the UN in New York and John Bolton in DC are quite something. The WEST, morally outraged, the world unbothered, had to take action to show this is intolerable. 40 dead from a may-be gas attack can not be tolerated, 100 dead from a single missile strike can be, and not necessarily as collateral damage. Anyway there was action over Syria. France, The UK and the USA launched missiles at selected targets in Syria. Chemical research facilities or whatever they said. After this, the story lost me. The payload, in terms of explosive tonnage and types were released. But the damage assessment does not quite match up. What is up!? Russia has something to say Chief of the Main Operational Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Lieutenant General Sergei Rudskoy But this detail admitted by the Russians! wawu!
