The middle east is heating up. Using Libya as a template, hardcore western destabilization has been slowly simmering Syria for the past 16 months. Demonization and destabilization of Iran has been an ongoing theme for decades.
Many observers are now humoring the possibility that the globalist wet dreams of a 3rd World War may actually come to fruition. An epic battle between good and evil is being fought right now and if things escalate it could turn thermo-nuclear. The world is growing increasingly hostile.
In these quickly evolving situations, it is useful to recall that at any moment Iran has the option to close the Strait of Hormuz and this would be devastating especially if in concert with the planned implosion of the world’s economy. It is also safe to assume that in such a situation the ongoing weather-wars that have ensued under the radar would likewise be ramped up.
As always, truth is under constant assault. The mass of disinformation on this subject must be faced bravely if we are to have any hope of survival.
Echoing many recent protests demanding a halt to this US-NATO aggression, Canadians in Halifax protested these imperial acts yesterday and outlined a few reasons why Canada should not get involved. Watch this latest news blast to hear what they had to say:

SYRIA: Cold War II, Edging Closer to a “Hot War”? [video included]
Turkish Jet Flying 100 Meters above the Water 1 Mile from Syrian Coast

Syria Had 2.5 Seconds to React to Turkish Jet Flying Only 100 Meters Above the Water Just One Mile from Syrian Land
Syria Had No Time to Take Any Other Action
The world is already in Cold War 2.0 in Syria. Now we are edging closer to a hot war.
Self-defense has been a recognized legal right for thousands of years.
But when empires wish to go to war against a country, self-defense is seen as a criminal causus belli. For example, Turkey admits that its fighter jet was in Syrian territory when it was shot down.
Indeed, the Turkish fighter jet was flying very low and very close to the Syrian shoreline:
“The plane disappeared and then reappeared in Syrian airspace, flying at 100 meters altitude and about 1-2kms (0.6-1.2 miles) from the Syrian coast,” Syrian Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi told a Damascus news conference.
“We had to react immediately, even if the plane was Syrian we would have shot it down,” he said. “The Syrian response was an act of defense of our sovereignty carried out by anti-aircraft machinegun which has a maximum range of 2.5 km.”
And yet Turkey is calling Syria the aggressor:
In a letter to the U.N. Security Council, Turkey condemned the “hostile act by the Syrian authorities against Turkey’s national security”, saying it posed “a serious threat to peace and security in the region”.
Specifically, the Turkish president:
Put the onus on Syria to explain why its army chose to shoot first, rather than try to establish radio contact, fire warning shots or even send up aircraft when the F4 crossed into Syrian territory.
However, the Turkish jet – a McDonnel Douglas F4 Phantom – had a top speed of 1,485 miles per hour.
If the Syrians spotted the jet one mile away, that means that they would have had 2.5 seconds to react (1,425 mph ÷ 60 minutes in an hour ÷ 60 seconds in a minute equals .4 miles per second; so it would take 2.5 seconds to travel 1 mile).
2.5 seconds is not long enough to try to establish radio contact, fire warning shots or send up aircraft. Therefore, Syria had only 2 choices: shoot the jet down, or let it fly over Syrian land.
This is allegedly footage shot with an iPhone of the actual shootdown of the Turkish jet:

Here is a still from that video, purportedly showing the jet crashing into the ocean:

In a video from NTD News, the team investigating the mysterious object found in the Baltic Sea explains that their electronic equipment mysteriously stopped functioning when they come within close proximity of the massive underwater object.
