Says Strategy Not Clarifying Intentions Toward Assad Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel issued a memo to National Security Adviser Susan Rice which was deeply critical of the administration’s military strategy in the ongoing ISIS war in Syria, saying the plan was “in danger of unraveling.” The memo, described by officials familiar with it, centered on the lack of an endgame strategy as well as the inability of the administration to clarify its intentions toward the Assad government.

October was Iraq’s deadliest month since April, 2008. In those five and a half years, not only has there been no improvement in Iraq’s security situation, but things have gotten much worse. More than 1,000 people were killed in Iraq last month, the vast majority of them civilians. Another 1,600 were wounded, as car bombs, shootings, and other attacks continue to maim and murder.

Since 2003, Anglo-American power has secretly and openly coordinated direct and indirect support for Islamist terrorist groups linked to al-Qaeda across the Middle East and North Africa. This ill-conceived patchwork geostrategy is a legacy of the persistent influence of neoconservative ideology, motivated by longstanding but often contradictory ambitions to dominate regional oil resources, defend an expansionist Israel, and in pursuit of these, re-draw the map of the Middle East.” –Nafeez Ahmed, “How the West Created the Islamic State“, CounterPunch “The US created these terrorist organizations. America does not have the moral authority to lead a coalition against terrorism.” – Hassan…

A new video issued by an orthodox Jewish organization called “True Torah Jews”—one of the more prominent Jewish splinter groups which claims to be “anti-Zionist” has received wide circulation among anti-Zionist activists—but are orthodox and ultra-orthodox Jews really “anti-Zionist”? In this article, Dr. David Duke addresses the issues and implications raised in the 8 minute “True Torah Jews” video.
