Closing fronts to deal with ISIS

by system failure

It's not a surprise that Israel and Hamas reached a ceasefire deal, after the new death toll of over 2,000 civilians caused by the Israelis in Gaza, because it's not the first time. The Israeli military attacks Gaza every two years or so after all. (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/08/other-reasons-for-ongoing-crime-in-gaza.html) What should surprise us is that Israel accepted some terms which were essentially rejected during previous negotiations, (http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/israel-hamas-reach-cease-fire-deal-brokered-by-egypt/2014/08/26/cc834c02-2d49-11e4-bb9b-997ae96fad33_story.html) while its primary goal was to bring Gaza closer to total destruction and destroy the Hamas-Fatah approach.

The explanation for Israel's move at this specific moment has to do probably with the ISIS threat. Recent incidents show that ISIS, which appears to be out of control for the moment, is getting closer to Israel too. Israeli officials expressed their concerns for the clashes between Syrian troops and Syrian rebels at the Golan Heights (http://www.voanews.com/content/israel-concerned-over-syrian-rebels-in-golan/2436370.html), while recently, Israel army has shot down an unidentified drone that flew from Syria into Israeli-controlled airspace over this region. (http://rt.com/news/line/2014-08-31/#69624)

There was also another incident with the 43 UN peacekeepers detained by "armed elements" in the region. (http://www.china.org.cn/world/2014-08/29/content_33372087.htm) Therefore, these concerns by the Israeli officials are justified, especially if we consider that many Syrian rebels probably have joined ISIS. Other information also shows that ISIS militants are capable of capturing military equipment which includes even warplanes. (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-08-30/how-isis-building-airforce)

The ISIS threats, however, are not limited to the West or Israel. Takfiri militants have reportedly threatened to attack Saudi Arabia too. (http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2014/08/26/376663/isil-threatens-to-attack-saudi-arabia/) ISIS is turning against everyone, even its initial supporters. (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/08/the-powers-behind-islamic-state.html)

Latest news concerning the threat against Putin which includes plans for "liberating" Chechnya and Caucasus, (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-09-03/isis-threatens-putin-caliphate-chechnya-kadyrov-responds-you-will-be-destroyed) came surprisingly close to the ceasefire agreement (or attempt for agreement) between Kiev and Moscow. Normally, the neocon "clowns" would be very happy with such threats, but the beheading of the second American journalist, Steven Sotloff, leaves no alternative but to deal with the ISIS and the US public opinion.

Everything points to the fact that maybe some underground "unofficial" channels between NATO and Russia have been mobilized, after a long time, so that to reach a - even temporary - ceasefire agreement in Ukraine. Neocons have ridiculously failed one more time. After the mess they brought in Iraq, they had this "brilliant idea" to support these militant groups so that to bring down Assad regime, which is attached to Russia, and probably destabilize Iran too. Now they are closing fronts and call everyone to destroy ISIS.

But again, the ruthless neocons won't stop. They will continue to provoke Russia as they feel that their plans are being threatened. (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/08/temporary-turn-of-180-degrees-by-neocon.html) Let's hope that they will fail one more time.

Capitalism & Genocide - Yanis Varoufakis Speech at the Gaza Tribunal, 23rd October 2025, Istanbul

Yanis Varoufakis   On 23rd October, Yanis Varoufakis testified in front of the Jury of Conscience in the context of the Gaza Tribunal. His speech focused on the economic forces underpinning the genocide of the Palestinian people.

Munich Shock: Rubio’s Vision of a New Western Century & World Order

GVS Deep Dive   At the 2026 Munich Security Conference, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered one of the most consequential foreign policy speeches of the year. Framed as a call for Western renewal, his address went far beyond NATO reassurance — outlining a vision of sovereignty, industrial consolidation, and civilizational confidence that may signal the end of the post-Cold War global order.   Is this the beginning of a Second Cold War?   Is the West reorganizing around bloc competition?   Or are we witnessing the construction of a new world order?

A response to misinformation on Nicaragua: it was a coup, not a ‘massacre’

There is so much misinformation in mainstream corporate media about recent events in Nicaragua that it is a pity that Mary Ellsberg’s article for Pulse has added to it with a seemingly leftish critique. Ellsberg claims that recent articles, including from this website, often “ paint a picture of the crisis in Nicaragua that is dangerously misleading. ” Unfortunately, her own article does just that. It looks at the situation entirely from the perspective of those opposing Daniel Ortega’s government while whitewashing their malevolent behavior and downplaying the levels of US support they have relied on. Her piece is an incomplete depiction of what is happening on the ground, ignoring many salient facts that have come to light and which have been outdated by recent events. The following is a brief response to Ellsberg’s main points from someone who lives in Nicaragua and has observed the situation directly and intimately: https://grayzoneproject.com/2018/08/15/a-res...

Five reasons a war with Iran will mark the final fall of US empire

globinfo freexchange   1. The nature of war has changed dramatically since the Iraq war, due to technological developments. A ground invasion, especially against Iran, would be catastrophic for the US empire with unpredictable consequences, even if the regime-change mission successfully completed.  2. The Iran allies in the region are still active, despite their losses. This is connected with the first reason in a way because armed groups dispersed in the Middle-East and affiliated with Iran, can lead to an asymmetric, out-of-control conflict to the point where US forces may suddenly find themselves trapped in a wider deadly warzone with no exit. The new, relatively cheap technology of drones and small/middle range missiles, is easily accessible to these groups. The Ansar Allah group in Yemen, already demonstrated their ability to sabotage US military operations. 3. Iran is not Iraq. Not only due to its size and the fact that we live now in a very different period, but also be...
