French soldier attacked and stabbed in the neck

From the news article -
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-05-26/french-soldier-stabbed-in-neck-while-on-patrol-near-paris/4713376Defence minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told journalists near the site of the attack: "The soldier was attacked because he is a soldier.

It seems to me that whenever an official very quickly comes out with either the identity of the perp or knows their motivation before any reasonable investigation could have been done, we have state complicity.

So why would the British and French governments want their soldiers to feel unsafe amongst their fellow citizens?

I recall how during the police dragnet for the Chechen brothers that it was reported that a policeman was killed. The same thing happened during the hunt for Lee Harvey Oswald. You don't suppose it could have anything to do with the state wanting to put their police into a state of unthinking fear regarding their fellow citizens, too, do you?

OPEN THREAD: Sixto Rodriguez

When I was young, Rodriguez was big in Australia. I remember him being compelling to listen to. Then he just disappeared. I heard he'd walked away from the music industry but didn't realise it wasn't exactly voluntary. I had no idea that he was completely unknown in his home country, the US.

He was also big in South Africa. "Huge" would be a better word for it. His influence through his music is credited in having played a part in the downfall of the apartheid regime there.

He, at the same time had no idea of his fame elsewhere and gave up performing thinking he must have no talent and all because the record company did not promote his music and did not pay him his royalties for the sales that came internationally through the sheer quality of his music.

But at long last, at 70 years old, the truth is out and he is being recognised all over the world.

What's Going On In Syria?


(image from crooksandliars.com)

Recent events in and around Syria have seemed both alarming and odd at the same time. What's going on?

Israel and/or NATO supplied chemical weapons to their mercenaries in Syria and blamed the Syrian govt for their use. This failed to be convincing.
"U.N. human rights investigators have gathered testimony from casualties of Syria's civil war and medical staff indicating that rebel forces have used the nerve agent sarin, one of the lead investigators said on Sunday." (curiously reported by Reuters)

Meanwhile, the paid NATO mercenaries (the Orwellian Free Syrian Army - FSA) are losing ground literally in their battle with the Syrian army. Things are not going well for Tel Aviv and Washington.

Netanyahu plans a trip to China and John Kerry is in Russia. Kerry meets with Vladimir Putin over Syria apparently to no avail.

Lawrence Wilkerson in an interview on teevee primes everyone to expect something provocative from Netanyahu (and therefore israel) causing the US to intervene in the event of any retaliation.

Then israeli jets attack sites in and around Damascus in an overt act of war.


Damascus damage

Netanyahu quickly tries to tell the Syrian govt and people that the israeli attacks are not meant to hurt Syria or help the NATO mercenaries who are bringing chaos (just like israel is) to Syria. No, no, it is really aimed at Hezbollah.

Syria states the obvious that they are now in a state of war with israel and vow retaliation.
