A sobering report issued by the Ministry of Defense (MoD) states that in an address to Federation military commanders at the National Control Defense Center wartime government headquarters in Moscow earlier today, President Putin declared that Islamic State Forces (ISIS/ISIL/Daesh) operating in the Levant War Zone are on the “brink of total defeat” and that the Western nations claims that they had been battling these modern day barbarians has now been exposed as a “total lie”.
According to this report, Aerospace Forces, which in the past 48 hours have destroyed 472 terrorist targets, and in the past 5 days have obliterated 1,000 of their oil tankers, and when combined with thenearly 3,000 air and cruise missiles strikes conducted by Russian military and naval forces against these terrorists since 30 September, have reduced ISIS to having only 34 operating bases—a numberconfirmed by Iraq’s al-Nakhil news agency.
Adding to the coming success in defeating Islamic State forces, this report continues, are the new airstrikes against these terrorists being launched from the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle under the control of Federation Aerospace Forces by order of President Putin after France broke with NATO and sided with Russia in this war.
Joining Russia and France too in battling ISIS, this report notes, is China, whose Foreign Ministry spokesman, Hong Lei, earlier today stated “Russia’s large-scale activities are an important integral part of the international counter-terror actions… China supports Russia’s efforts to combat terrorism”.
Not just in words either is China supporting Russia in the Levant either, this report says, but in military forces too as an estimated 3,000 Chinese marine forces are now operating in Syria under Federation military command—and which the United States has dispatched its USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier strike force against with its commander, Captain Ryan Scholl, warning:
“ISIS is not the only challenge that awaits the flotilla, which includes the cruiser Anzio, Carrier Wing Air 7, and destroyers Bulkeley, Gravely and Gonzalez. Russian, Chinese and Iranian marines have established their presence in Syria, and Russian warships from the Black Sea have relocated to the eastern Mediterranean to protect fighter jets conducting airstrikes in support of Syria’s Assad regime. In preparation, the strike group’s Composite Training Unit Exercise focused on adversaries that more closely resembled those of the Cold War.”

To if the United States led NATO will intervene to protect their Islamic State allies against total defeat and risk World War III with Russia and China, this report warns, is the greatest unanswered question now facing the Federation—a question made more complicated by official Washington’s many false narrativesabout Russia and Syria that have gotten so tangled that they have become a danger to the struggle against Sunni jihadist terrorism and conceivably a threat to the future of the planet.
And to how complicated the United States propaganda narrative about this war has become, this report notes, was evidenced this past week when one American news programme, PBS, actually showed their viewers a false report about the US Air Force bombing ISIS targets in Syria, but used in its entirety Russian Aerospace Forces videos posted on the MoD website.


To the “sick joke” perpetrated upon the peoples of the West about the war against the Islamic State, this report continues, was laid even more bare by President Putin when he told his commanders that evidence now proved that NATO member Turkey had supplied these terrorists with an estimated 100,000 fake passports enabling their travel to Europe and America.
Even worse, this report says, a former ISIS fighter told the American news magazine Newsweek that Turkey was allowing ISIS trucks from Raqqa to cross the border, through Turkey and then back across the border to attack Syrian Kurds in the city of Serekaniye in northern Syria in February and that ISIS militants would freely travel through Turkey in a convoy of trucks, and stop at safe houses along the way.
And with documents leaked in September 2014 showing that Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan had financed weapons shipments to ISIS through Turkey, and a clandestine plane from Germany delivered arms in the Etimesgut airport in Turkey and split into three containers, two of which were dispatched to ISIS, this report continues, the warning issued in December 2014 by Claudia Roth, deputy speaker of the German parliament, who expressed shock that NATO is allowing Turkey to harbour an ISIS camp in Istanbul and facilitate weapons transfers to Islamist militants through its borders tacitly support ISIS oil sales was ignored.
Also, this report notes, in his testimony before the US Senate Armed Services Committee in September 2014, General Martin Dempsey, then chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, when asked by Senator Lindsay Graham whether he knew of “any major Arab ally that embraces ISIL”? General Dempsey replied: “I know major Arab allies who fund them.” US allies that include Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, and Kuwait in particular — all of whom, for the last four years at least, have funneled billions of dollars largely to ISIS.
The consistent transfers of CIA-Gulf-Turkish arms supplies to ISIS which have destroyed Syria and led to the rise of the Islamic State, this report further notes, has, also, been documented through analysis of weapons serial numbers by the UK-based Conflict Armament Research (CAR), whose database on the illicit weapons trade is funded by the EU and Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs, and led, this past week, Professor David Graeber of London School of Economics stating the obvious:
“Had Turkey placed the same kind of absolute blockade on Isis territories as they did on Kurdish-held parts of Syria… that blood-stained ‘caliphate’ would long since have collapsed — and arguably, the Paris attacks may never have happened. And if Turkey were to do the same today, Isis would probably collapse in a matter of months. Yet, has a single western leader called on Erdoğan to do this?”
And with Russia having long warned that Obama regime polices were aiding the Islamic State, this report says, new evidence is now emerging in the United States proving their military officials have been lying to their President, Congress and the American public about their fight against ISIS—and which this past week led the Pentagon’s Inspector General, who is in charge of the investigation, to seize a massive number of Central Command emails from US military computers, along with other documents, in an effort to uncover how deep this conspiracy goes.
While the US begins its charade to investigate this plot to plunge our world into total war, this report concludes, the truest facts behind this conspiracy remain untold to the West (and which we had reported on in our 14 November report Russia Warns Friday The 13th Paris Massacre Is Masonic Power Play For World War III), but which another “puzzle piece” is soon to be laid down when the secret archive that lists two million Freemason members is published for the world to begin to see how deep this plaque goes.

Last week the US House dealt a blow to President Obama’s plan to resettle 10,000 Syrians fleeing their war-torn homeland.
On a vote of 289-137, including 47 Democrats, the House voted to require the FBI to closely vet any applicant from Syria and to guarantee that none of them pose a threat to the US. Effectively this will shut down the program.
The House legislation was brought to the Floor after last week’s attacks in Paris that left more than 120 people dead, and for which ISIS claimed responsibility. With the year-long US bombing campaign against ISIS in Syria and Iraq, there is a good deal of concern that among those 10,000 to be settled here there might be some who wish to do us harm. Even though it looks as though the Paris attackers were all EU citizens, polling in the US shows record opposition to allowing Syrian refugees entry.
I agree that we must be very careful about who is permitted to enter the United States, but I object to the president’s plan for a very different reason. I think it is a sign of Washington’s moral and intellectual bankruptcy that US citizens are being forced to pay for those fleeing Washington’s foreign policy.
For the past ten years the US government has been planning and executing a regime change operation against the Syrian government. It is this policy that has produced the chaos in Syria, including the rise of ISIS and al-Qaeda in the country. After a decade of US destabilization efforts, we are now told that Syria is totally destabilized and we therefore must take in thousands of Syrians fleeing the destabilization that Washington caused.
Has there ever been a more foolish and wrong-headed foreign policy than this?
The American people have been forced to pay untold millions for a ten-year CIA and Pentagon program to undermine and overthrow the Syrian government, and now we are supposed to pay millions more to provide welfare for the refugees Obama created.
Who should pay for the millions fleeing the chaos that Washington helped create? How about the military-industrial complex, which makes a killing promoting killing? How about the Beltway neocon think-tanks that continue to churn out pro-war propaganda while receiving huge grants from defense contractors? How about President Obama’s national security advisors, who push him into one regime change disaster after another? How about Hillary Clinton, who came up with the bright idea that “Assad must go”? How about President Obama himself, a president elected to end wars, but who has ended up starting more wars than his predecessor? It’s time those who start the wars start paying for the disasters they create. Then perhaps we might have some relief from an interventionist foreign policy that is destroying our financial and national security.
If Obama wants to take in refugees from the chaos in Syria, there are probably plenty of vacant rooms in the White House.

At least 14 militants who had sworn allegiance to Islamic State have been killed by special forces in the city of Nalchik in Russia’s North Caucasus region, National Counter-Terrorist Committee reported on Sunday.
Russian special forces killed 14 of the gang’s militants during a counter-terrorist operation that took place near Nalchik earlier on Sunday.
Later in the day, three more militants were killed, according to the National Counter-Terrorist Committee press-center.
The firefight between police and the militants started on early Sunday morning in woodland adjacent to Nalchik, the capital of Kabardino-Balkaria Republic, where counter-terrorist operation was announced on Saturday. A unit searching a territory near the city spotted a group of militants in a dug-out.
The special unit blocked the area and surrounded the bunker, advising the militants to surrender, but the group answered with fire from automatic weapons and threw several grenades.
The first skirmish with the militants resulted in reported five dead among the group. Later on the number of deceased terrorists grew to eleven, National Counter-Terrorist Committee reports.
At 1:00 p.m. Moscow time, the head of the Federal Security Service (FSB) office in Kabardino-Balkaria ended the counter-terrorist operation regime imposed in Nalchik and the neighboring Cherek municipal district at 8:00 a.m. Sunday morning.
The National Counter-Terrorist Committee re-established a counter-terrorist regime at 7:45 pm after a new skirmish broke out. The gang was subsequently completely neutralized, police sources reported, according to RIA Novosti.
There were no casualties among civilians or law enforcement officers.
On November 10, another counter-terrorist operation in Nalchik ended with Robert Zankishiev, a leader of a local Islamic State cell, being killed.

Germany’s foreign ministry said that it considers the blackout of Crimea by extremist groups a criminal act.
The blackout in Russia’s Crimea peninsula is a criminal act that must be investigated, a German Foreign Ministry spokesman said Monday.
The Crimean blackout began on Sunday, after Ukrainian extremist groups blew up power line pylons on the Ukrainian side of the border. The Ukrainian power utility has thus far been unable to repair the pylons, as extremists maintain access to the site and local police have not been able to gain access.
Around 2.5 million residents of Crimea have been left with no constant electricity supply as a result.
“Attacks on Ukraine’s public infrastructure, including that providing Crimea with electricity, are criminal acts. We expect them to be perceived as such and investigated by Ukrainian officials,” Martin Schaefer said.
The spokesman added that Berlin expected power to be quickly restored in the Black Sea peninsula.
German media also criticized the attacks, with Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung commentator Reinhard Veser writing that the attacks show criminal negligence toward the peninsula’s residents, which could also lead to tensions between Ukraine and Russia.
Ukrainian energy utility Ukrenergo previously said that the power line downing caused considerable difficulties, including the forced shut-off of several power stations. The utility warned that shutoffs at nuclear reactors in the area could lead to accidents.

Argentina opposition candidate Mauricio Macri (front-Right) celebrates his victory in the presidential election, November 22, 2015.
Argentina’s conservative opposition leader Mauricio Macri has defeated ruling party candidate Daniel Scioli in the presidential election, pledging a “marvelous” new era for the Latin American country.
Ending 12 years of leftist rule in Argentina, Macri won 52.1 percent of votes and left Scioli defeated with 47.9 percent on Sunday, Argentina’s election body said.
“This is the beginning of a new era that has to carry us toward the opportunities we need to grow and progress,” Macri said.
Macri also pledged “good relations with all countries,” including the United States.
“We cannot waste time on revenge or score-settling,” he said.
He has proposed easing restrictions on imports and dollar transactions and liberalizing the economy.
Macri, the son of one of Argentina’s richest men, was favored by investors, and the country’s asset prices were expected to rise on Monday, according to market analysts.
His victory put an end to a political era dominated by former President Christina Kirchner and her late husband Nestor Kirchner.
The president-elect will take office on December 10.

German authorities covered up the fact that explosives were found during an attempted terror attack at a soccer stadium earlier this week, according to an eyewitness who was told to keep quiet about what he saw.
Bild newspaper has published the testimony of a paramedic who saw an explosive device in an ambulance before the Germany vs Netherlands game which was canceled on Tuesday night after French intelligence tipped off German authorities about an impending attack involving three bombs to be detonated at the stadium and another two at a bus stop and a train station.
Authorities later claimed that no explosives were found, but the paramedic says he witnessed the bomb and was “told not to talk about it” after special forces arrived on the scene.
Three police officers have also reportedly been disciplined for leaking information about the alleged discovery of the bombs.
German authorities may have decided to conceal the fact that the explosives were found in order to prevent panic amongst the fans who had gathered around the stadium before the match.
However, given that German police have been caught covering up rapes and other crimes involving migrants flooding into the country via the wave of refugees in order to not legitimize critics of the migrant influx, could the decision to cover-up the discovery of the bombs have been made under a similar justification?
The cell that planned to detonate the explosives reportedly consisted of five people.
After last week’s massacre in Paris, it was confirmed that at least three of the jihadists linked to the plot had exploited the migrant crisis in order to slip into Europe, including the alleged mastermind behind the attacks Abdelhamid Abaaoud.
Abaaoud bragged about being able to travel freely throughout Europe without being intercepted by authorities, telling Dabiq magazine, “My name and picture were all over the news yet I was able to stay in their homeland, plan operations against them and leave safely when doing so became necessary.”
Ahmad Almohammad, the first Stade de France suicide bomber, also used a fake Syrian passport to sneak into Europe via Greece by posing as an asylum seeker.
