U.S. Senate Committee Votes in Favor of Arming Mercenaries in Syria

Widening of Syria War into a Regional War with Global Implications becoming Inevitable.
Christof Lehmann (nsnbc),- The U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations has passed legislation that, if signed by U.S. President Obama, approves of officially supplying weapons to what the committee describes as “The Syrian Opposition”.
According to international law the bill implies, that the U.S.A. officially becomes a conflicting party. The official approval of weapons deliveries and other aid to “the opposition” is arguably changing its status to that of a mercenary corps.
The Senate´s decision has significantly increased the likelihood of the development of a regional war with global implications and has, if it is signed by President Obama, for the foreseeable future undermined attempts to settle the war by political means.
The bipartisan U.S. Senate´s Foreign Relations Committee voted 15 – 3 in favor of the bill that would allow U.S. politicians to officially arm the terrorist organizations, which the USA has been directly and indirectly financing, arming and otherwise supporting since the genesis of the conflict in 2011.
If signed by President Obama, the U.S.A. would technically become a directly involved party to the war. Arguably, the so-called opposition would receive the legal status of being a US-sponsored mercenary corps. In other words, the legal status would concur with its de facto status.
While some analysts state, that the decision would not imply significant changes on the ground because the USA has sponsored terrorists in Syria since the onset of the crisis, others predict that the new legislation implies a significant increase of arms shipments, a significant increase in recruitment efforts, a substantial increase of funding, and an inevitable widening of the war into Lebanon and Iraq.
The legislation calls to “provide defense articles, defense services, and military training” directly to the “opposition” on the ground in Syria who “have been properly and fully vetted and share common values and interests with the United States”.
The legislation officially endorses an illegal military strategy on Syria, which a US Training Circular for Special Forces and “Foreign Students” designates as being official US military doctrine. The Training Circular, TC-18-01 explicitly states, that the US military, for the foreseeable future, would primarily be involved in unconventional warfare.
The subversion of foreign nations, as described in the TC-01 is a de-facto outline of the political and military strategy which the USA has used against the Syrian Arab Republic since 2011. The full document has previously been disclosed on nsnbc.
It is especially the last part of the sentence, “vetted and share common values and interests with the United States”, that would also officially transform the United States into a party that is directly involved in the war by recruiting, financing and arming mercenaries.
Belhadj – The Enemy Image
According to reliable Syrian statistics, which repeatedly have been sent to the office of U.N. Secretary Ban Kyi-moon, more than 80 per cent of the persons involved in combat operations against the Syrian military forces and the Syrian Civil Defense Forces are foreign fighters.
Since the US-backed coup d´etat in Libya in 2011, Abdelhakim Belhadj, who has a long history of cooperation with the British Foreign Intelligence Service MI6, Mossad and NATO Intelligence, and who according to former Spanish Prime Minister Aznar is the main responsible person for the 2004 Madrid Train Bombings that killed dozens, Abdelhakim Belhadj also functions as official Tripoli Military Governor. The largest so far documented arms shipment, including SAM-7 surface to air missiles was shipped from Libya through Turkey and into Syria. It is safe to conclude that the greatest part of arms shipments and deployment of recruits from Libya to Syria as well as to Mali is being organized through the Belhadj network.
Belhadj, Tripoli Military Governor and Syrian Tripoli Brigade Commander in Chief
With the main body of Syria recruits being recruited through a network that is in liaison with NATO, NATO is by implication, also becoming directly involved in the Syria War if the bill is passed. In fact, some international lawyers argue that NATO´s legal status already is that of a party to the conflict due to the fact that Turkey is directly involved.
The legal implications are mind-boggling and bound to significantly worsen the crisis between Russia and the USA, the crisis between Russia and the EU, and the crisis between some EU member states, first and foremost Germany and the USA.
Most experts on US – Israeli foreign relations agree that the Israeli lobby in the USA, which has a significant influence over the majority of members of Congress, has been lobbying strongly in support of the bill. Over the course of the last month reports of direct Israeli involvement in the war have significantly increased.
Already in 2011 Israel was arming the so-called Syrian opposition through third parties in Lebanon. Most prominently among them, the Saudi-Lebanese national and chairman of the “Movement for the Future Party” Saad Hariri, and the leader of the Lebanese Druze community and chairman of the Lebanese Progressive Socialist Party Walid Jumblatt. Jumblatt is known for having facilitated shipments of weapons and equipment from Israel´s Raphael Industries since 2011.
One of the few Senators who have voted against the bill was Senator Rand Paul who stated ” You will be funding today the allies of al-Qaeda…. It is an irony you cannot overcome”. Critics of Rand Paul however state that his nay-vote was cheap since it was well known that the majority would vote in favor of the bill. Others criticize Paul for being representative of double standards by not clearly stating that al-Qaeda and “The Opposition” are euphemisms for a network of NATO mercenaries who can be used as friend or foe, terrorist of freedom fighters, all and alone depending on utility.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is currently visiting Jordan to meet representatives from 11 nations. Part of the agenda will be discussions between Kerry and Russian representatives about the so-called U.S.-Russian roadmap to end the Syria crisis.
The chances for ending the war in Syrian by political means however, are becoming increasingly slim. According to some analysts, the crisis is developing a propensity toward a deterioration into a Sarajevo-like situation, where the events begin determining the decisions of the policy makers, rather than the policy makers being the ones who determine the development of the events. The odds are clearly stacked against a political resolution and overwhelmingly for a widening of the war into Lebanon and Iraq.
Russia has repeatedly warned that the material support of the terrorists in Syria violates international law, and Russian officials have warned that the passing of the legislation is one more, and a most serious violation of international law.
The Russian position always was and remains the position, that only direct talks between the Syrian government and the opposition can solve the crisis and that the arming of terrorists sabotages ongoing attempts to solve the crisis and the ongoing political reform process in Syria.
In March, the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated, that “International law does not permit the supply of arms to non-governmental actors and our point of view is that it is a violation of international law” .

Quote by Club of Rome: “In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill….All these dangers are caused by human intervention….and thus the “real enemy, then, is humanity itself….believe humanity requires a common motivation, namely a common adversary in order to realize world government. It does not matter if this common enemy is “a real one or….one invented for the purpose.” Our Governments have to be collaborating as people report this activity all across Europe, North Africa, Australasia and the America’s. The climate is being modified….we all know the weather is not normal. This is a big and controversial topic. The governments and their NGO’s, such as the CFR and the UN, Bilderburg Group, World Bank etc… promote global warming blamed on anthropogenic activities of man…not the industrialists, not the globalists, the oligarchs that are steering our society onto the rocks. We live in a global totalitarian state dominated by the petrochemical industry for energy, food production…etc… A strangle grip. There are viable alternatives such as HHO for transport, cars can easily be proved to work sufficiently well on the abundant sea water by back yard engineers. As technology emerges that could free us all from the strangle grip…the controllers either buy the patents, black ball them ( Tesla-free electric) or murder the inventors…numerous occasions. Our governments are embedded with the rich oligarchs choices and are completed corrupted. The illusion is of democracy….the puppets that sit in power are selected by the organizations of the rich globalists, humans are but cattle to these insane obscenely rich elites. Our weather is controlled/modified and this has been a long term goal. Their trick is to manipulate people into believing their very long planned and layered LIES. Global warming was formulated as a plan by the NGO ” Club of Rome” .There are numerous references but this site has a good appraisal [ http://www.green-agenda.com/globalrev… ] . The idea of the elites ( they are maniacs) is that the Earth has finite resources ( which they now own and control- after privatisation programs swept aside national ownerships) etc…and the growing populations outstrip the balance. THIS OVERPOPULATION is long term PROPAGANDA LIES. The society on Earth is being manipulated and food production controlled by just 10 Agra-corporations in the world. Monsantan a key player has new aluminium resistant seed lines? Aluminium should be safe in abundant form- except for the mass covert aerial aerosol spraying of nano particulates, changing the soils. Nations are manipulated and food production hampered. Once food was produced locally and there was no need for plastic packaging and central warehouses and the increased heavy goods vehicles grinding up and down the motorways. Farmers are being forced to adopt GMO crops to combat erratic weather patterns and changing soils. GMO’s are dangerous to life, with horrendous side effects and long term hazards to life and nature. ALL for profit and control. UN Agenda 21, is no theory to be ridiculed by doubters or detractors…it is a global plan for slavery..a global totalitarian state. We have the suppressed technologies to easily feed the world, have free energy and live in balance with nature and each other. It is TIME to act, even if that is just by researching and understanding the truth and talking to enlighten others. We must object, this happens by we the people doing nothing- apathy by design. Main stream media is controlled, corporate owned, so they do not highlight the truth just steer public opinion. OUR Silence is compliance…do you consent? The facts are there to find and share, lets change our system of governance together. Put the unity back into our community….be the change you want to see…unite together and use our real power peacefully. Inform the police, military, universities etc…everyone possible to wake up…just look up at the sky to start with…lets have nature..not a new synthetic normal.

Informative PETITION | Stop False Diagnose Leading To Forced Psychiatric Detainment To Cover Illegal Human Experimentation And Military Training Resulting In Torture
This Petition is to ask Congress to immediately implement legislation to stop the fraudulent diagnosis and detention of involuntary human research subjects as mentally ill without proper validation as set forth by individual State policies and procedure. Victims may also be used as non-consensual human research subjects of military training. In a 2013 report of the United Nations it was said that forced psychiatric treatment IS torture. This crime is currently being investigated by the United Nations World Organisation on Torture Twenty-second Session of the General Assembly
These false and forced institutionalizations based on fraudulent diagnoses are being used to isolate, silence and ruin the credibility of (as former Congressman Kucinich stated, “high-valued targets”), victims. These diagnoses create doubt of the victim’s statements of abuses by these many technologies. Such false and invalid diagnoses are also used to ‘cloak’ non-consensual human experimentation testing and evaluation of various technologies, and other crimes against humanity.
Former Ohio Senator John Glenn introduced the Human Research Protection Act to Congress in January 1997 (S.196). Former Senator Glenn’s speech as reported in the Congressional Record is shown below. Former President William Clinton issued Executive Order 12975 October 3, 1995 to regulate research on human subjects named Protection of Human Research Subjects and Creation of National Bioethics Advisory Commission. A memorandum was issued March 27, 1997 by President Clinton strengthening the protection of use of human subjects in military “Classified” research. Ohio Representative Dennis Kucinich introduced the Space Preservation Act in October 2001 (HR 1977), asking Congress to ban the use of military space weapons in the United States which included psychotronic weapons. (http://www.fas.org/sgp/congress/2001/hr2977.html)
Patents for military technology have been identified as the cause of many claims of psychological and emotional harassment. Thousands of people in the United States of America are reporting to be targets of the military (during their many training missions) and targets of government research and contractors of remote neural monitoring and behavior influence technology via the use of Directed Energy Weapons and electronic harassment. A significant percentage of these people have been forcefully admitted to mental institutions and psychiatric hospitals as a result of filing complaints of such harassment. False diagnoses have been used to label the victim with schizophrenia and/or delusional disorders. Depression is another diagnosis usual to this type of psychological and physical mistreatment of humans which fits the description of torture. Some of the victims have found that their mothers were also victimized by some psychological symptoms that can now be attributed to the use of this technology on them. (Note: Few victims have reported that their fathers were ever hospitalized or treated for any type of mental illness due to this harassment which validates that 75%+ of those targeted are women.)
Many sources of testing, including MRI, fMRI, CT-Scan, EEG and testing the chemistry of the blood, is available today to aid in the identification of a specific mental illness and to rule out diseases of the brain. Yet, most of these victims will tell you that a stigmatizing diagnosis of mental illness was made after just a verbal conversation with a psychiatrist, psychologist or other medical professional. Sometimes this would have been just a Crisis Team representative at a hospital Emergency Room or by a mental health center intake worker.
Turkey to support potential US-led no-fly zone on Syria: Erdogan
PressTV
May 10, 2013
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan says Ankara will support the United States if Washington plans to impose a no-fly zone on Syria.
“Right from the beginning… we would say ‘yes,’” Erdogan stated in response to a question during an interview with NBC News on Thursday that whether Turkey would back such a potential move by the US against Syria.
The Syrian government says Turkey has been playing a key role in fueling the unrest in Syria by financing, training, and arming the militants since the turmoil erupted in March 2011.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said in April that Turkey’s government “officially harbors terrorists and sends them into Syria.”
On March 19, NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) Admiral James Stavridis, who is the commander of US European Command, said the member states of the military alliance had held negotiations over enforcing a no-fly zone over Syria and providing lethal support to the militant groups, the Washington Post reported.
In another part of the NBC interview, the Turkish premier further reiterated claims that Syria had used chemical weapons in its fight against foreign-sponsored militants.
Contrary to Erdogan’s unfounded allegations, the UN Independent Commission of Inquiry on Syria said on May 5 that it found testimony from victims and medical staff that showed militants had used the nerve agent sarin in Syria, which has been classified as a weapon of mass destruction in UN Resolution 687.
The UN commission of inquiry also said that it could not find any evidence that the Syrian government had used chemical weapons against militants.
On March 19, over two dozen people were killed and many others injured when militants fired missiles containing a chemical substance into a village near the northwestern city of Aleppo, according to a report by Syria’s official news agency SANA.
The Turkish prime minister also said in the interview that the United States should “assume more responsibilities and take further steps” regarding the issue of chemical weapons in Syria, “And what sort of steps they will take, we are going to talk about this.”

Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP): Corporate Power-Tool Of The 1%
by Nile Bowie
NileBowie.blogspot.ca
April 2, 2013
One of the least discussed and least reported issues is the Obama administration’s effort to bring the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement to the forefront, an oppressive plurilateral US-led free trade agreement currently being negotiated with several Pacific Rim countries. Six hundred US corporate advisors have negotiated and had input into the TPP, and the proposed draft text has not been made available to the public, the press or policymakers. The level of secrecy surrounding the agreements is unparalleled – paramilitary teams scatter outside the premise of each round of discussions while helicopters loom overhead – media outlets impose a near-total blackout of reportage on the subject and US Senator Ron Wyden, the Chair of the Congressional Committee with jurisdiction over TPP, was denied access to the negotiation texts. “The majority of Congress is being kept in the dark as to the substance of the TPP negotiations, while representatives of U.S. corporations — like Halliburton, Chevron, PhaRMA, Comcast and the Motion Picture Association of America — are being consulted and made privy to details of the agreement,” said Wyden, in a floor statement to Congress.
In addition to the United States, the countries participating in the negotiations include Australia, Brunei, Chile, Canada, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam. Japan has expressed its desire to become a negotiating partner, but not yet joined negotiation, partly due to public pressure to steer-clear. The TPP would impose punishing regulations that give multinational corporations unprecedented rights to demand taxpayer compensation for policies they think will undermine their expected future profits straight from the treasuries of participating nations – it would push the agenda of Big PhaRMA in the developing world to impose longer monopoly controls on drugs, drastically limiting access to affordable generic medications that people depend on. The TPP would undermine food safety by limiting labeling and forcing countries like the United States to import food that fails to meet its national safety standards, in addition to banning Buy America or Buy Local preferences.
In the private investor-state that the TPP is attempting to establish, foreign corporations can sue national governments, submitting signatory countries to the jurisdiction of investor arbitral tribunals, staffed by private sector attorneys. International tribunals could have authority to order governments to pay unlimited cash compensation out of national treasuries to foreign corporations and investors if new or existing government policy hinders investors’ expected future profits. The domestic taxpayer in each signatory country must shoulder any compensation paid to private investors and foreign corporations, in addition to large hourly fees for tribunals and legal costs. A good example of how this agreement neuters national sovereignty comes from Malaysia, which was able to recover from the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis more quickly than its neighbors by introducing a series of capital control measures on the Malaysian ringgit to prevent external speculation – the TPP’s proposed measures would restrict signatory nations from exercising capital controls to prevent and mitigate financial crises and promote financial stability.
Of the 26 chapters of the proposed TPP draft text, it is reported that only two chapters cover trade issues, related to slashing tariffs and lifting quotas. The TPP would obligate the federal government to force US states to conform state laws to over a thousand pages of detailed stipulations and constraints unrelated to trade – from land use to intellectual property rights – authorizing the federal authorities to use all possible means to coax states to comply with TPP rules, even by imposing sanctions if they fail to do so. According to leaked documents, US standards for property rights protection would be swept away in favor of international property rights standards, as interpreted by TPP’s unelected international tribunals, giving investors principal control over public land and resources “that are not for the exclusive or predominant use and benefit of the government.”
