Pepe says Lavrov and Clinton made a deal in Geneve that the US will get an honourable exit from Afghanistan in return for a US backing off on support for the Syrian rebels.
Yet the facts on the ground seem to mean that the insurgency will continue to be feuled by Turkey and Qatar etc.
Turkish military build up along the Syrian border is in high gear with constant F16 patrols, and this is contrary to Turkish public opinion.

Invasive species from Fukushima tsunami washing up on U.S. shores
by J.D. Heyes
Natural News
June 23, 2012
(NaturalNews) Japan’s tsunami-caused nuclear disaster at the Fukushima energy complex in March 2011, in which three atomic reactors were heavily damaged, continues to wreak havoc on ecosystems – in the U.S.
The latest danger emanating from the Fukushima complex to hit our shores came not in the form of irradiated tuna, but in the form of a boxcar-sized piece of floating dock which washed ashore along a sandy Oregon beach earlier this month. The find initially excited some beachcombers, reports said, but scientists quickly began to worry that such debris was quickly becoming a whole new way to transport invasive species – crabs, seaweed and other marine organisms – to U.S. waters, further harming West Coast marine environments, The Associated Press reported.
Worse, scientists and marine biologists suspect more species could be hitching a ride to our shores as more tsunami debris arrives in the coming months.
“We know extinctions occur with invasions,” John Chapman, assistant professor of fisheries and invasive species at Oregon State University’s Hatfield Marine Science Center, told AP. “This is like arrows shot into the dark. Some of them could hit a mark.”
Mitten crabs, spartina, shellfish all cause problems here – though they came from far away
Indeed. While international trade has meant that marine invasion to the West Coast has been occurring since the late 1860s, the global economy has greatly accelerated the process. So much so that now, there are areas like San Francisco Bay which amount to a “global zoo” of invasive species, where as many as 500 plants and animals from waters afar have established in U.S. waters.
The species can attach themselves to the hulls of cargo ships and the water some vessels take on as ballast, but have also come from home aquariums that have been emptied into bays.
Not only have the species upset marine ecosystems, but there are staggering costs associated with the phenomenon as well, in tens of billions of dollars.
“Mitten crabs from China eat baby Dungeness crabs that are one of the region’s top commercial fisheries. Spartina, a ropey seaweed from Europe, chokes commercial oyster beds. Shellfish plug the cooling water intakes of power plants. Kelps and tiny shrimp-like creatures change the food web that fish, marine mammals and even humans depend on,” the AP reported.
If anything, the Fukushima disaster will only make matters worse, since the problem has been growing for years. A 2004 study published by the scientific journal Ecological Economic, for example, estimated then that some 400 threatened and endangered species in the U.S. were facing wipe-out due to invasive species.
That said, scientists admit it’s too early to tell how badly Japan’s tsunami debris will worsen the situation already here in the U.S.
“It may only introduce one thing,” Andrew Cohen, director of the Center for Research on Aquatic Bioinvasions in Richmond, Calif., said. “But if that thing turns out to be a big problem, we would rather it not happen. There could be an economic impact, an ecological impact, or even a human health impact.”
Johnny Clamseed
Reports said the dock that washed ashore in Oregon came from a fishing port located on Japan’s northern tip. It was strewn with a ton-and-a-half of mussels, seaweed, barnacles and starfish. AP reported that volunteers scraped it clean then buried it above the high water line and sterilized the rest with torches.
Some experts said, however, that despite the cleaning, there was no way to tell yet whether the scrap had released spores, larvae or anything else that could spawn and grow somewhere along the coast.
“That’s the ‘Johnny Clamseed’ approach,” James Carlton, professor of marine sciences at Williams College, said, a reference to John Chapman, better known as Johnny Appleseed, who introduced apple trees to parts of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana in the 19th century. “While that is theoretical, we don’t actually know if that kind of thing happens.”
Yet, scientists say they do know that the bigger the debris, the more likely it is bringing something along for the ride.
More debris continues to wash ashore along U.S. beaches – so much so that state officials are beginning to make appeals to Washington for help. This week, Washington state Gov. Chris Gregoire announced plans for her state to begin clean-up efforts but said federal help would be needed.
“We don’t have the resources at the state level to do what we’re going to have to do here,” she said.

Don’t Be Alarmed: Troops Train For Martial Law With Tanks on the Streets of America As Corporate Media Runs Cover Up [videos included]
By Alex Thomas
theintelhub.com
June 25, 2012
In a move that many have seen as yet another sign of the continued push towards martial law and the normal use of troops on the streets of America, the U.S. Army is currently “training” throughout St. Louis, complete with 100′s of heavily armored military vehicles driving through St Louis neighborhoods.
The exercise, part of a program to train military police to drive heavily armored vehicles through highways and city streets, has drawn widespread criticism throughout the alternative media while the corporate media has essentially worshiped it, going out of their way to distort the facts in their numerous propaganda pieces on the subject.
In an initial report by a local corporate news outlet that was prompted by hundreds of calls from concerned citizens who had, in a scene more reminiscent of North Korea than a supposed free country, seen the military rolling through their neighborhood, the media simply told the citizens to not be alarmed.
The absurd reporting by the corporate media is simply a continuation of their shilling for the military industrial complex and the globalist takeover of America.
To add to this absurdity, the military officer in the report basically told U.S. citizens to not film armored vehicles rolling through THEIR neighborhoods.
Now, in a report by another corporate media lackey, those that have spoken out against this martial law type training have been attacked and labeled as cooky conspiracy theorists even though there are literally dozens of open admissions by the military that they are planning to use troops on American streets.
Nearly every local news outlet has reported the story:
This week the Army plans to drive armored vehicles through city streets as part of a training exercise it is holding at its reserve center in north St. Louis.
But it was KSDK’s version of the story last Thursday that really ignited the crazies.
Like Orson Welles’ broadcast of War of the Worlds, KSDK anchorman Mike Bush began the 10 p.m. newscast.
The author of this hit piece apparently thinks so low of his readers that he is actually labeling those that read official Army statements as crazies.
Last year we reported on a plan by the Pentagon to deploy a 20,000 strong (that is only the admitted number) force INSIDE the United States to trained and deployed by late 2011.
In 2008 The Pentagon announced plans to deploy a 20,000 strong internal troop force inside the continental United States (CONUS) that was set to be trained by 2011, thus dovetailing into the current troop and equipment movements around the country reported by truckers as well as many more troop sightings by everyday citizens.
We also noted how this directly correlates with a major Rand Corporation policy paper that called for a military police force to operate inside the country.
Interestingly enough, this plan directly correlates with a 2009, Army funded, Rand Corporation study that called for an internal United States police force to combat civil unrest.
The Pentagon has been training to use either U.S. troops or foreign military against the American people for years. There are literally hundreds of examples of this happening yet all we get from the corporate media is either direct lies or claims that the takeover is actually good.
Foreign Affairs, the influential globalist mouthpiece of the Council on Foreign Relations, has recently called for the Army to be used in a local police force capacity.
An article published in the May/June issue of Foreign Affairs, the mouthpiece for the influential Council on Foreign Relations, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, General Raymond T. Odierno, advocates the army be “transitioned” into a more “flexible force” by deploying in situations normally reserved for domestic law enforcement officials. He argues that by doing so, troops will be better equipped to deal with conflict elsewhere.
In 2011 we again reported on the startling fact that the Air Force was actually taking part in arrests in local convenience stores.
In Florida City The Air Force has set up a crime hotline, which has now been removed from their website, as well as taken part in arrests at local convenience stores.
On July 15, military police – known as Security Forces patrolmen – detained a criminal suspect at a Circle K in until Miami-Dade police arrived.
In April of this year heavily armed military officers descended on downtown Chicago in black helicopters which was again labeled by the local corporate media as completely routine and actually a good thing.
In a shocking display of the police state and the creeping push towards actual martial law, heavily armed military officers in black helicopters swooped through downtown Chicago in what was billed as a routine military exercise.
Up to three Blackhawk Helicopters flew in formation and separately around downtown office buildings and apartments for at least three hours.
Again in April 2012 and this time in Crookston, MN, fully armed troops were photographed walking through neighborhood streets.
Libertarian Review – The photo shown at left was taken by a subscriber in the city of Crookston, MN from the front porch of her suburban home. No, the men pictured aren’t from the local high school’s J.R.O.T.C sqaud – they are in fact trained soldiers serving in the Minnessota National Guard, Unit 2-136 CAB / B Company.
In May 2012 the local corporate media in Florida literally characterized the invasion of the military, complete with black helicopters and simulated explosions, onto local streets a, “cool tourist story.”
“I got a kick out of it that’s for sure.”
The examples listed above are just a few of the countless pieces of evidence that indicate a very real push towards a martial law type existence in America.
They also completely debunk the notion that only crazy conspiracy theorists think this is a possibility.
Another important fact to note is that this disgusting display of repeated military and globalist industrial complex propaganda is due to the fact that most media outlets are owned by 6 corporations with direct connections to all the major defense contractors.
Note: This is not an article attacking individual military members. There are many patriotic Americans within the U.S. military who are disgusted by the upper brass and their push to use them against their own people.
The upper levels of our military have been hijacked by the globalists and are being directed to slowly implement the use of troops against Americans.
The only chances we have as a free people are the continued waking up of the populace and, perhaps more importantly, individual service members refusing to act against the people as the globalists move into their final phase of the destruction of America.
Chossudovsky: Covert War Waged Against Syria [video]
Global Research TV
June 29, 2012
Tensions are as high as ever as high on the Turkish Syrian border as Ankara is heavily increasing its troops along its southern frontiers. This week Turkey threatened Syria with an appropriate retaliation after the Syrian forces shot down a Turkish fighter jet. Syria says it has downed the plane after violation of its airspace, Turkey claims otherwise.
The Turkish fighter jet shot down over Syrian waters at low altitude by Syrian forces defending its air space is being used by Turkey to militarize its border.
Press TV has conducted an interview with Director of the Centre for Research on Globalization, Prof. Michel Chossudovsky in a discussion about the escalating role of Turkey; foreign influence over the opposition in Syria; and the degree of representation of the Free Syrian Army for the people of Syria.
The news analysis also offers the opinions of two additional guests: political commentator, Jihad Mouracadeh and Richard Becker of the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition.
