Every Syrian is being targeted,’ one Syrian religious leader told a delegation of reporters who visited Aleppo earlier this month. by Eva Bartlett Part 4 - 18 killed in Nov. 3 terror attacks On the afternoon of Nov. 3, after meeting with Dr. Mohammed Batikh, director of Al-Razi Hospital, the victims of terror attacks which had begun a few hours prior began to arrive one after another, maimed and critically injured.

Gaddafi's switching roles under Western manipulation until the final destruction of Libya

From the documentary HyperNormalisation by Adam Curtis globinfo freexchange Faced with the humiliating defeat in the Lebanon , President Reagan’s government was desperate to shore up the vision of a moral world where a good America struggled against evil. And to do this they were going to create a simple villain. An imaginary enemy, one that would free them from the paralysing complexity of real Middle-Eastern politics. And the perfect candidate was waiting in the wings. Colonel Gaddafi, the ruler of Libya. The Americans were going to ruthlessly use Colonel Gaddafi to create a fake terrorist mastermind. And Gaddafi was going to happily play along, because it would turn him into a famous global figure. Colonel Gaddafi had taken power in a coup in the 1970s but from the very start, he was convinced that he was more than just the leader of one country. He believed that he was an international revolutionary whose destiny was to challenge the power of the W

Tageszeitung: «Ελλάδα, η αποικία του ευρώ»

Η εφημερίδα Tageszeitung του Βερολίνου με άρθρο της που φέρει τίτλο «Ελλάδα, η αποικία του ευρώ», κριτικάρει την πολιτική της ΕΕ απέναντι στη χώρα. « Σχεδόν κάθε ελληνική οικογένεια πένεται. Το εισόδημα έχει μειωθεί κατά 35%. Παρ' όλα αυτά οι υπουργοί Οικονομικών της ευρωζώνης καμώνονται ότι δεν τρέχει τίποτα. Θέλουν να μειώσουν κι άλλο τους μισθούς παραβιάζοντας όλες τις διεθνείς συνθήκες, που προστατεύουν τα δικαιώματα των συνδικάτων. Οι υπουργοί Οικονομικών μετατρέπουν την Ελλάδα σε μια αποικία, όπου οι νόμοι δεν ισχύουν, παρά μόνο οι επιταγές », γράφει. Από τα πυρά της γερμανικής εφημερίδας δεν ξεφεύγει και ο ίδιος ο υπουργός Οικονομικών της χώρας, ο οποίος σε χθεσινές του δηλώσεις στην Bild μίλησε για την αναγκαιότητα μεταρρυθμίσεων και όχι ελάφρυνσης του χρέους. « Ο Σόιμπλε ξέχασε το βασικότερο », σημειώνει η αρθρογράφος. « Οι Ευρωπαίοι απαιτούν πρωτογενές πλεόνασμα του 3,5%. ακόμη και οι φετιχιστές των μηδενικών ελλειμμάτων όπως ο Σόιμπλε δεν μ
