Russian President Dmitry Medvedev speaks at an award ceremony in the Gorki residence outside Moscow, Tuesday, Nov. 22, 2011.
Moscow - Russia will deploy new missiles aimed at U.S. missile defense sites in Europe if Washington goes ahead with the planned shield despite Russia's concerns, President Dmitry Medvedev said Wednesday.

Russia will station missiles in its westernmost Kaliningrad region and other areas if Russia and NATO fail to reach a deal on the U.S.-led missile defense plans, he said in a tough statement that seemed to be aimed at rallying domestic support.

Russia considers the plans for missile shields in Europe, including in Romania and Poland, to be a threat to its nuclear forces, but the Obama administration insists they are meant to fend off a potential threat from Iran.

Moscow has agreed to consider NATO's proposal last fall to cooperate on the missile shield, but the talks have been deadlocked over how the system should operate. Russia has insisted that the system should be run jointly, which NATO has rejected.

Medvedev also warned that Moscow may opt out of the New START arms control deal with the United States and halt other arms control talks if the U.S. proceeds. The Americans had hoped that the treaty would stimulate progress further ambitious arms control efforts, but such talks have stalled over tension on the missile plans.

"The United States and its NATO partners as of now aren't going to take our concerns about the European missile defense into account," a stern Medvedev said, adding that if the alliance continues to "stonewall" Russia it will take retaliatory action.

The U.S. plan calls for placing land- and sea-based radars and interceptors in European locations over the next decade and upgrading them over time.

Medvedev warned that Russia will deploy short-range Iskander missiles in Kaliningrad, a Baltic Sea exclave bordering Poland, and place weapons in other areas in Russia's west and south to target U.S. missile defense sites.

Medvedev added that prospective Russian strategic nuclear missiles will be fitted with systems that would allow them to penetrate prospective missile defenses.

He and other Russian leaders have made similar threats in the past, and the latest statement appears to be aimed at domestic audience ahead of Dec. 4 parliamentary elections.

Medvedev, who is set to step down to allow Prime Minister Vladimir Putin reclaim the presidency in March's elections, leads the ruling United Russia party list in the parliamentary vote.

A stern warning to the U.S. and NATO issued by Medvedev seems to be directed at rallying nationalist votes in the polls.

U.S. Tells Citizens to Leave Syria “Immediately”

Kurt Nimmo
Infowars.com
November 23, 2011

Earlier today we reported that Arab states are set to impose a no fly zone over Syria with US logistical support, advancing the prospect of a military assault to take out Syrian President Bashar al-Assad under a “humanitarian” pretext.

In Libya, a no-fly zone was established as a pretext prior to NATO’s bombing of the country and the arming and directing of al-Qaeda rebels who eventually overthrew and murdered Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi.

In early October it was reported that a senior Syrian officer who had defected was the head of a newly formed Syrian Free Army – a force made up of defectors from the Syrian military – devoted to overthrowing the regime of Bashar al-Assad by military force in apparent connivance with his Turkish protectors, according to The Independent.

Now CBS and the AP are reporting that the U.S. embassy in Damascus has told its citizens to leave the country immediately. Turkey has also advised its citizens to leave.

“The U.S. Embassy continues to urge U.S. citizens in Syria to depart immediately while commercial transportation is available,” said a statement issued to the American community in Syria Wednesday and posted on the Embassy’s website. “The number of airlines serving Syria has decreased significantly since the summer, while many of those airlines remaining have reduced their number of flights.”

The State Department pulled the U.S. ambassador Robert Ford from the country in late October after it claimed his life was threatened. Ford was quietly sent back last week.

The call for U.S. and Turkish citizens to depart Syria immediately lends credence to speculation that the U.S. will orchestrate the removal of al-Bashar.

In April we speculated that the U.S. and the EU would eventually impose a no-fly zone on Syria in response to alleged human rights violations and this would be used as a cover to support the overthrow of al-Bashar.

The NWO just keeps pushing the envelope........

[Aryslan]

We see here the beginning of World War 3, imo. Let us hope humanity survives.

Edit: The reason I think that, is because Russia (allied with Syria) already has boots on the ground in Syria.

Thanks Cal!

One has to wonder just how many "lines in the sand" need be crossed before Russia and/or China step in.

On the other hand ... if we are to believe the illuminati "script" then it has all been planned out for many years now???




Albert Pike received a vision, which he described in a letter that he wrote to Mazzini, dated August 15, 1871. This letter graphically outlined plans for three world wars that were seen as necessary to bring about the One World Order, and we can marvel at how accurately it has predicted events that have already taken place.

...

"The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time."

Russian warships off Syria, US carriers near Iran

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report November 21, 2011, 6:20 PM (GMT+02:00)

Big power gunboat diplomacy is in full spate in the Mediterranean and Persian Gulf. Washington is underscoring its military option against Iran's nuclear program, while Russia is demonstrating its resolve to prevent NATO attacking Syria after Libya and defending Bashar Assad's regime. Monday, Nov. 21,

Russia's foreign minister Sergey Lavrov accused Western nations of "political provocation" by urging the Syrian opposition to refuse to negotiate a settlement with Assad.

Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan, for his part, advised Assad: "You can only continue with tanks and guns to a certain point, the day will come when you will go."
debkafile's military sources note that Russia and America adopted aggressive postures on Nov. 12, when two American carriers, the USS Bush and USS Stennis sailed through the Strait of Hormuz side by side and took up position opposite the Iranian coast.

That was also the day when a mysterious explosion at the Revolutionary Guards base near Tehran wiped out the entire leadership of Iran's ballistic missile program.

Five days later, on Nov. 17, the Syrian news agency reported three Russian naval vessels on the Mediterranean were heading toward Syria.

Monday, Nov. 21, presidential sources in Damascus announced three warships had entered Syrian territorial waters outside Tartus port.
Those sources stressed the Russian ships would not anchor in the Syrian port, indicating that their mission was not just to show the flag for the Assad regime but was on operational duty along its coasts to resist any foreign intervention in Syria unrest.
Our military sources are watching to see whether the Russian flotilla targets the small craft transporting arms from Lebanon and Turkey to Syrian rebels fighting the regime. If so, Moscow would be able to present these strikes as actions against piracy which would fall under a UN Security Council resolution.

While Moscow and Damascus kept the identity of the Russian warships dark, Arab sources said at least two of them are equipped for gathering intelligence and electronic warfare.
As the Russian warships entered Syrian territorial waters, Canadian Defense Minister Peter McKay announced that in the light of the Syrian crisis, the Royal Canadian Navy would keep back in the Mediterranean until the end of 2012 certain vessels which took part in the Libyan campaign.

debkafile's military sources report he was referring to two frigates:

HMCS Vancouver will stay in the Mediterranean Sea until early next year," he said, taking part in "locating, tracking, reporting (and) boarding vessels of interest suspected of international terrorism." It would be relieved by HMCS Charlottetown until the end of 2012.

Defense Minister Mckay explained: "…a lot of dictators are on notice that this type of behavior isn't going to be tolerated. How we go about it and what comes next is done on… an escalating scale before making any final decisions about intervention."
The Canadian defense minister was the first prominent Western official to admit the possibility of Western military intervention in Syria.

Three more events affecting the fate of the Assad regime, Tehran's closest ally, followed in quick succession Monday:
British Foreign Secretary William Hague received a delegation of the opposition Syrian National Council in London. Shortly before the interview the SNC published its plan for the transition of power from the Assad regime in Damascus, calling also for "international protection for Syrian civilians."

In Syria itself, three buses carrying Turkish pilgrims home from Mecca were accosted by a Syrian checkpoint at Cizre near Homs. The passengers were ordered to disembark for their papers to be inspected. The Syrian soldiers then started shooting at them, injuring a passenger and one of the drivers.
This incident will not be treated lightly by the Erdogan government.
Until now, despite vocal threats, Ankara has not intervened directly in the nine-month Syrian uprising aside from arming and training rebels.

Also Monday, Jordan's King Abdullah II paid a surprise visit to Ramallah for talks with the Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas. One of the items on his agenda was an attempt to find out where the Palestinian leader stands vis-à-vis the Arab Revolt, especially on the conflict in Syria.

Not sounding good is it?

ktlight posted a related story here:

http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?35406-Iran-backs-Syria-against-US-Israel


FYI:
"Iranian ambassador to Syria has reiterated Tehran's full support for Damascus in the face of the US and Israeli schemes against the Syrian nation.


“The West is attempting to abuse the developments in the region for its [own] benefits,” Mohammad-Reza Sheibani warned in the Syrian capital Damascus on Wednesday, referring to the wave of Islamic Awakening sweeping the Arab world, IRNA reported.

“Today, we see this Islamic Awakening in the Islamic resistance in Lebanon and Palestine, which is advancing in the interest of the Muslim world and threatening the West's interests,” he said.

The Iranian official emphasized that Syrian officials, including President Bashar al-Assad, supported the 'legitimate' demands of the Syrian nation and added that the West's plots against Damascus were rooted in the Syrian government's support for the Islamic resistance.

Syria has been experiencing deadly unrest since mid-March, with demonstrations being held both against and in support of Assad's government.

According to the United Nations, over 3,500 people -- including hundreds of Army personnel members and members of the security forces -- have been killed in the ongoing violence. The Syrian government blames the unrest on armed terrorists funded by elements from outside the country.

Syrian state TV has broadcast reports showing seized weapons caches and confessions by terrorists describing how they obtained weapons from foreign sources.

Since the beginning of the unrest, however, the United States and the European Union have imposed severe sanctions on Damascus over alleged application of violence against anti-government protesters.

Syria has vehemently denied reports of violence against protesters, saying the security forces have been given clear instructions not to harm civilians."

Well it depends on how it unfolds ... so far the plans did not turn out so very well.
General Wesley Clark told us that they were planning (back then in 2001) to take out 7 countries in 5 years.

So it's not going as fast as they planned. Libya was on the list too. Fair enough, they finally got what they
wanted but it was a hard nut to crack. I think they miscalculated ... maybe their 'external' support is gone :rolleyes:

Even without the threats made now a documentary about the fall of the dollar made clear that the US and the
rest of the world would become divided and hostile with each other.

If it will come as far as (attempts) to go to nuclear warfare that may spark the momentum for disclosure.
Don't cheer to soon because even this can be good or bad.
Either the real guys show up to prevent a nuclear exchange or the fake guys may show up to pose a
common threat to mankind in order to reunite the peeps of the earth.

It's like a chess game you must think a couple of moves ahead in different scenarios.

Agree ... the best outcome would be if we would handle this ourselves. Best not to wait for the cavalry to arrive but be our own liberators !

Being spectators makes us responsible already. Like in the double slit experiment we're supposed to influence the outcome ;)
The majority of us may not be the instigators but, like it or not, we're involved by simply being here.

I don't know if there is a similar English proverb but in Dutch we say: "Who remains silent inherently approves or confirms".
So yes, the negative forces may actually do us a favor by pushing the envelope ... until it crosses a threshold where we
activate ourselves and get involved. Our intentional disapproval, spoken or unspoken, will determine the result.

George Washington's vision is a real vision in my opinion. It is consistent with many other great ancient/old prophecies that America will face enormous calamities. I fear that Nostradamus prophecies about WW3 to be sparked off as a naval conflict, which matches with the Chinese prophecy of the Tang dynasty that China will soon fight a war which began "hidden in the ocean" may actually mean a naval battle in the Persia Gulf.

True or not, evacuation of US citizens, and may be later Chinese citizens from Syria or Iran always means a war to break out within weeks.

[Calz]

More posturing perhaps. I see Iran as more the "red line" but the drum beats are growing regardless.

Russia Arms Syria With Missiles To Defend Against NATO Attack

Warns it will not tolerate western powers crossing a “red line”

Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars.com
Thursday, November 24, 2011

We now know what those six Russian warships that reportedly entered Syrian territorial waters last week were carrying. Aside from representing a show of strength to discourage NATO powers from launching a military attack, on board were Russian technical experts ready to help Damascus set up a sophisticated missile defense system sold to them by Moscow.

“Russian warships that have reached waters off Syria in recent days were carrying, among other things, Russian technical advisors who will help the Syrians set up an array of S-300 missiles Damascus has received in recent weeks, a report in the London-based Arabic language Al Quds-Al Arabi said Thursday. Citing sources in Syria and Russia, the paper said that Moscow sees a Western attack on Syria as a “red line” that it will not tolerate,” reports Arutz Sheva.

The S-300 missiles, which according to the report will be used to “deflect a possible attack by NATO or the U.S. and EU,” are long range surface-to-air missiles developed by Russia in 1979 for the purpose of protecting large industrial and military bases from enemy attack aircraft and cruise missiles.

The system is widely regarded as one of the most powerful anti-aircraft arrays in modern warfare, having the ability to track up to 100 targets and engage 12 at any one time. Russia recently tried to sell the same system to Iran but the transaction was halted after pressure from the U.S. and Israel.

Arming Syria with such a proficient means of aerial defense would obviously not bode well for any prospective “no fly zone” being planned by western powers. Reports have been circulating this week that fighter jets from Turkey and other Arab states would soon enter Syrian airspace under “humanitarian” pretenses with logistical aid from the United States.

“Along with the missiles, the report says that Russia has installed advanced radar systems in all key Syrian military and industrial installations. The radar system also covers areas north and south of Syria, where it will be able to detect movement of troops or aircraft towards the Syrian border. The radar targets include much of Israel, as well as the Incirlik military base in Turkey, which is used by NATO,” states the report.

French foreign minister Alain Juppé yesterday assured Syrian opposition forces that NATO powers are planning to launch a military intervention by imposing “humanitarian corridors or humanitarian zones” in the name of protecting civilians from the alleged abuses of the al-Assad regime.

The prospect of air strikes being launched under a “humanitarian” banner are seen as increasingly likely given the fact that the aircraft carrier George H.W. Bush has been moved to the Syrian coast in recent days having left its traditional theater of operations just off the Straits of Hormuz.

Tensions also escalated yesterday after the U.S. Embassy in Damascus urged its citizens to leave Syria “immediately,” while Turkey’s foreign ministry told its citizens to avoid traveling through the country on their return home from Saudi Arabia.

As we have previously noted, attacking Syria could merely be an entrée for an assault on Iran because Tehran has promised to defend its ally.

*sigh*

But the sad thing is, for those of us who are watching with open eyes and mind, that this *HAS* to happen. There's no way around it. Not enough people are awake, too many people are too comfortable watching their evening soapies etc etc.... It's going to take something large-scale to jolt people out of their comfort zones.... And the financial meltdown of 2008 didn't do it, the iraq war didn't do it, etc etc....

I think the question is "What's it going to take for humanity as a whole to take a stand, REALLY, and give the strongest message, one that the PTW *CANNOT* ingore, that *ENOUGH IS ENOUGH*? "...

And the answer to that question : I'm not sure I want to know at this stage, but so be it. I trust in the universe that it has a plan, it always does.

Russia Prepares To Take Out EU Missile Defense Systems

Russian believes is an active incursion and a potential act of eventual aggression on behalf of NATO countries in Eastern Europe (and hence the US), he he said the following (7 minutes in):


"First, I am instructing the Defense Ministry to immediately put the missile attack early warning radar station in Kaliningrad on combat alert. Second, protective cover of Russia's strategic nuclear weapons, will be reinforced as a priority measure under the programme to develop out air and space defenses. Third, the new strategic ballistic missiles commissioned by the Strategic Missile Forces and the Navy will be equipped with advanced missile defense penetration systems and new highly-effective warheads. Fourth, I have instructed the Armed Forces to draw up measures for disabling missile defense system data and guidance systems if need be... Fifth, if the above measures prove insufficient, the Russian Federation will deploy modern offensive weapon systems in the west and south of the country, ensuring our ability to take out any part of the US missile defense system, in Europe. One step in this process will be to deploy Iskander missiles in Kaliningrad Region."

I've been following the Syria thing closely. While a dictator would not be my choice for a type of government it is clear the regime there is being demonized way beyond anything resembling the truth. This is Iraq all over again and they are using all of the same b.s. to fool us. Weapons of mass destruction, killing babies and all that same sad old claptrap. If you all get a chance check out what Webster Tarpley is saying is going on there. He actually went there and observed what was happening as he did in Libya.

God bless America interfrearing if everyones buisiness again and cant even sort their own financial affairs out.

I know that we are coming up to a point of becoming a global Oneness, but I would ask that when anyone speaks of a country, any country, or America, they specify that the American people are not a part and parcel of what is being specifically orchestrated, accomplished and finalized by a government that is separate and apart from the people. Those committing pre-meditated war are doing so with an agenda that has nothing whatever to do with the peoples of our global community. This is the few against the many.

You know what I would personnally like? I would like to call "America" United State and to regive the American title to the whole continent, South America as well as North America.

I am an American, yet I do not live in the US but in Canada nor do all the Mexicans, or still, the Central and South Americans. America is not United State, United State is one, only one of the countries within America. This, to me, would be a first form of respect towards its neighbours away from the hegemony of the United States.

Now, of course the United States people is not represented at all by its government at the present time nor are its govenrment foreign policies representing the will of its people imho.

Next Propaganda Phase: UN Says Syria Tortures Children

Kurt Nimmo
Infowars.com
November 25, 2011

In order to send in the bombers and introduce the sort of carnage in Syria the US and NATO inflicted on Libya, the propaganda war needs to be dialed up. Allegations of child abuse usually do the trick. Journalists call it “the hook.”

Daughter of Kuwaiti ambassador to US tells lie used as war propaganda.Prior to the first invasion of Iraq in 1991, the Congressional Human Rights Caucus held a hearing on Capitol Hill showcasing Iraqi human rights abuses. The media event allowed a 15-year old Kuwaiti girl known as Nayirah to claim Saddam’s invaders threw babies out of incubators at the al-Addan hospital in Kuwait City.

It turns out the girl was a member of the Kuwaiti Royal Family. Her father was Saud Nasir al-Sabah, the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States. The testimony was a lie cooked up by Hill & Knowlton, a public relations group. Despite this, the lie was repeated over and over again. Bush Senior told the story. It was recited as fact in congressional testimony, on TV and radio talk shows, and at the UN Security Council.

On Friday, a United Nations human rights panel “expressed alarm” at reports claiming Syrian security forces are torturing children.

The Committee Against Torture said it had received “numerous, consistent and substantiated reports” of widespread abuse in the country, MSNBC reports today. The chair of the panel, Claudio Grossman, told reporters in Geneva that the reports referring to the abuse of children were of “particular concern.”

It was less of a concern when George W. Bush’s legal adviser, John Yoo, argued there is no law that could prevent the president from ordering the torture of a child.

Syria’s neighbor, Israel, has detained and tortured Palestinian children at the infamous al-Jalame Interrogation and Detention Center near Haifa, but the United Nations is not talking about sanctions against the country. The Arab League is not issuing ultimatums and neocons and presidential candidates are not talking about attacking Israel.

The United Nations report is a prized piece of propaganda released at precisely the right time. It will be mentioned repeatedly by the establishment media in the weeks ahead as the stage is set for an attack on Syria. Like the Nayirah and baby incubator lie, there will be little effort to find out if Syrian security forces are indeed torturing children.

Arab State Urges Citizens To Leave Syria

Tensions flare as Arab League ultimatum passes deadline

Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars.com
Friday, November 25, 2011

Yet another indication that Syria could be the next target of a NATO-led military assault arrived today with the news that the United Arab Emirates is the latest country to urge its citizens to leave, as a deadline imposed by the Arab League for Syria to respond to its demand to send in observers passed without comment.


“Emiratis who are already in Syria are advised to avoid large gatherings of people, exercise caution and leave Syrian territory because of the current circumstances there,” Director of Nationals’ Affairs at the Ministry Ambassador Eissa Abdullah Al-Kalbani said.

The warning follows similar advisories by the U.S. Embassy in Damascus, which urged its citizens to leave Syria “immediately,” while Turkey’s foreign ministry told its citizens to avoid traveling through the country on their return home from Saudi Arabia.

Today’s deadline for Syria to accept an ultimatum issued by the Arab League that would have allowed 500 observers to enter Syria in a monitoring capacity passed without response.

Although the Arab League said it would give the Syrian regime until the end of the day to accept the proposal, crippling sanctions are set to be imposed on Saturday that would suspend all commercial flights to Syria, which is why other governments are telling their citizens to leave while they still can.

The Arab League ultimatum was described by Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu as the “last chance” for the Syrian government.

Turkey, along with other Arab states, is rumored to be preparing to enforce a “no fly zone” over the country with U.S. logistical support. As we saw with Libya, a ‘no fly zone’ is a euphemism for an aerial bombardment.

These tensions have prompted Russia to respond by reportedly arming Syria with a sophisticated missile defense system designed to rebel enemy aircraft. Syrian sources claimed that Russian warships entered Syrian territorial waters last week as a deterrent to any NATO-led assault. Moscow declined to confirm or deny the story.

In an identical pattern to how U.S. warships surrounded Libya in the days before the NATO bombardment began, the aircraft carrier George H.W. Bush was repositioned off the coast of Syria in recent days having moved from its usual theater of operations in the Straits of Hormuz.

On Wednesday, French foreign minister Alain Juppé assured Syrian opposition forces that NATO powers are planning to launch a military intervention by imposing “humanitarian corridors or humanitarian zones” in the name of protecting civilians from the alleged abuses of the al-Assad regime.

Although, like Libya, the situation in Syria is clearly descending into a civil war, with attacks on both sides, western powers have doggedly tried to portray the chaos as a series of atrocities by the Assad’s troops, downplaying attacks by Syrian rebel forces such as the one reported today that killed ten Syrian troops.

Medvedev's Nov. 23 Address to the Nation: A Stark, Measured Statement of The Grave Strategic Reality

November 27, 2011 • 10:28PM

Russian President Dmitri Medvedev's November 23 televised address to the nation conveyed the stark reality that the Russian leadership anticipates the outbreak of global nuclear war, and is determined both to defend Russia under those circumstances and, by warning of this, to try to deter it. Reported by wire services (and in the Nov. 24 Morning Briefing) was Medvedev's threat to deploy the Iskander missile system in Russia's westernmost district of Kaliningrad, in response to the U.S./NATO emplacement of anti-ballistic missile systems in Europe. In fact, the address to the nation contained his announcement of other crucial actions. The ten-minute address is available with English subtitles on the Kremlin site, at http://eng.news.kremlin.ru/video/1034. It is extremely valuable to watch, for an appreciation of current strategic reality. Medvedev spoke from his Presidential office, flanked by the Russian tricolor flag in its version for the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, with the Russian double-headed eagle crest.

In the address, Medvedev underscored that Russia has continued to offer cooperation with the United States and NATO on anti-missile defense. "At the NATO-Russia Council summit in Lisbon a year ago," he said, "I proposed developing a joint sector-based missile defence system in Europe, where every country would be responsible for a particular sector. Furthermore, we were ready to discuss additional modifications to the system, taking into account our NATO partners' views. Our only goal was to preserve the basic principle that Europe does not need new dividing lines, but rather, a common security perimeter with Russia's equal and legally enshrined participation. It is my conviction that this approach would create unique opportunities for Russia and NATO to build a genuine strategic partnership. We are to replace the friction and confrontation in our relations with the principles of equality, indivisible security, mutual trust, and predictability."

Expressing regret over the lack of a positive response, Medvedev continued: "We will not agree to take part in a program that in a short while, in some five, six, or eight years' time, could weaken our nuclear deterrent capability. The European missile defence programme is already underway and work on it is, regrettably, moving rapidly in Poland, Turkey, Romania, and Spain. We find ourselves facing a fait accompli." He said that he had stated Russia's concerns to U.S. President Obama during their most recent meeting, on the sidelines of the APEC summit in Hawaii.

Medvedev then announced the following orders, which he has already issued:

"First, I am instructing the Defence Ministry to immediately put the missile attack early warning radar station in Kaliningrad on combat alert.

"Second, protective coverage of Russia's strategic nuclear weapons will be reinforced as a priority measure under the program to develop our air and space defences.

"Third, the new strategic ballistic missiles commissioned by the Strategic Missile Forces and the Navy will be equipped with advanced missile defence penetration systems and new highly-effective warheads.

"Fourth, I have instructed the Armed Forces to draw up measures for disabling missile defense system data and guidance systems if need be. These measures will be adequate, effective, and low-cost.

"Fifth, if the above measures prove insufficient, the Russian Federation will deploy modern offensive weapon systems in the west and south of the country, ensuring our ability to take out any part of the US missile defence system in Europe. One step in this process will be to deploy Iskander missiles in Kaliningrad Region."

Medvedev went on to raise the prospect of Russia's withdrawing from the new START treaty and other disarmament agreements. He concluded: "But let me stress the point that we are not closing the door on continued dialogue with the USA and NATO on missile defence and on practical cooperation in this area. We are ready for that. However, this can be achieved only through establishing a clear legal base for cooperation that would guarantee that our legitimate interests and concerns are taken into account. We are open to a dialogue and we hope for a reasonable and constructive approach from our Western partners."

Koodo's to the speech writers. It has just enough threat in the speech but, keeps referring to keeping a dialog open. So if no action is taken on the western side. Russia can say that they tried and are now in a corner and need to attack to protect its self. I believe Russia will not do anything drastic due to its current military modernization which will take some years to complete and We have to wait for Putin to get elected next year, so he can strip away anything that resembles freedom and re-instates something that resembles the old soviet days.

U.S.-NATO Troops Reported On Jordan’s Border with Syria

Kurt Nimmo
Infowars.com
December 12, 2011

Whistleblower activist Sibel Edmonds reported on Sunday that “foreign military groups, estimated at hundreds of individuals,” have taken up positions in the city of al-Mafraq in northern Jordan on the Syrian border.

Al-Mafraq and the Jordan-Syria border where troops are said to be positioned. Edmonds’ blog attempted to contact the Department of Defense and get confirmation of the reports, but had not received a response as of 6:00 PM on Sunday.

An update on Edmonds’ blog, Boiling Frogs, states that a “journalist with a major mainstream media publication was told by his editors that there would be no coverage or follow up on these developments.”

The presence of foreign troops were also reported by a Jordanian military officer who asked to remain anonymous. He said hundreds of soldiers who speak languages ​other than Arabic were seen during the past two days (as of Sunday) moving back and forth in military vehicles between the King Hussein Air Base in al-Mafraq, ten kilometers from the Syrian border, and the vicinity of Jordanian villages near the Syrian border, including Albaej, the area around the dam of Sarhan, the villages of Zubaydiah and al-Nahdah adjacent to the Syrian border.

Another Boiling Frogs source in Amman identified a U.S.-NATO command center in the village of al-Houshah near al-Mafraq and the Syrian border.

“Some of the US forces that left the Ain al-Assad Air base in Iraq last Thursday, did not come back to the USA or its base in Germany, but were transferred to Jordan during the evening hours,” an Iraqi journalist in London told the blog.

“At least one US aircraft carrying military personnel landed in the Prince Hassan Air base located about 100 km to the east of the city of al-Mafraq,” another source reported.

Boiling Frogs has provided extended news coverage the establishment media has ignored in order to keep the American people in the dark about the planned attack on Syria following the takedown of the government in Libya and the assassination of Moammar Gaddafi.

"Turkey to move Syrian refugees in tents to prefabricated houses"

"We will set up a container city for 7,500 Syrian refugees who currently live
in five separate tent camps near the southern province of Kilis," Besir Atalay said."

"Turkey plans to move Syrian refugees living in tent camps to a compound of
prefabricated houses in the south of the country, Turkish deputy prime minister said.
"We will set up a container city for 7,500 Syrian refugees who currently live in five
separate tent camps near the southern province of Kilis," Besir Atalay told reporters in
Doha, Qatar, where he participated in a meeting of the Alliance of Civilizations.
More than 18,000 Syrian citizens fled violence to Turkey as nearly 11,000 of them have
returned to their homes. Currently around 7,500 Syrian refugees live in five camps set
up by the Turkish Red Crescent in the southern province of Hatay.
After concluding his talks in Doha the Turkish deputy premier departed for Turkey."

So troops coming in from Jordan, Iraq and Turkey (see story below),
7500 Syrians have fled across the border
and the UN estimates 5000 people have been killed since mid-March

Syria kills 'terrorist' infiltrators from Turkey: SANA

Syrian state news agency says pro-government troops clashed with 15 infiltrators from turkey killing two of them and wounding the others

Syrian guards killed two armed "terrorists" who were attempting to infiltrate the country from across the border with Turkey, SANA state news agency reported on Tuesday.
"Border guards' forces in Idlib today foiled an infiltration attempt by an armed terrorist group into the Syrian lands through Ain al-Bayda site of Badama, Idlib" province, said SANA.

"Border Guards' forces clashed with 15 terrorists... killing two of them and wounding the others," said the report in English.

Syria on 6 December reported its forces thwarted a similar infiltration bid by "armed terrorist groups" in the same area, saying an unspecified number of the 35 gunmen were wounded and the rest fled back to Turkey.

Turkey says that around 7,500 Syrians have fled across the border with its southern neighbour in the face of a bloody protest crackdown the UN estimates has killed more than 5,000 people since mid-March.

Colonel Riyadh al-Asaad, who heads a group of defectors called the Free Syrian Army, is based in a Turkish border camp and, unlike some other dissidents, has called for foreign air strikes.

US troops surround Syria on the eve of invasion?

Published: 13 December, 2011, 20:41

US troops circling Syria

A former official from within the ranks of the Federal Bureau of Investigation is reporting that US and NATO forces have landed outside of Syria and are training militants to overthrow the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.

Whistleblower Sibel Edmonds, formerly a translator with the FBI, wrote over the weekend that American soldiers are among the NATO troops that have mysteriously and suddenly landed on the Jordanian and Syrian border. According to her, several sources internationally have confirmed the news, although the US media has been instructed to temporarily censor itself from reporting the news.

Additionally, Edmonds says that American and NATO forces are training Turkish troops as well, to possibly launch a strike from the north of Syria.

Edmonds writes that an Iraqi journalist based out of London has confirmed that US forces that vacated the Ain al-Assad Air Base in Iraq last week did in fact leave the country as part of President Obama’s drawdown of troops, but rather than return home, the soldiers were transferred into Jordan during the late hours of Thursday evening. Another source, writes Edmonds, informs her that “soldiers who speak languages other than Arabic” have been moving through Jordan mere miles from the country’s border with Syria. Troops believed to be NATO/American-affiliated have been spotted between the King Hussein Air Base in al-Mafraq and the Jordanian village of Albaej and its vicinity.

Nizar Nayouf, a correspondent for Edmond’s Boiling Frog Post whistleblower site, says an employee of the London-based offices of Royal Jordanian Airlines has further confirmed that at least one US aircraft transporting military personnel has brought American troops into Jordan in recent days. Nayouf, the former editor-in-chief of Sawt al-Democratiyya (Democracy's Vote), had previously been sentenced to a decade behind bars for critiquing the Syrian government. He later won several human rights awards and the 2000 UNISCO prize for press freedom.

Since the uprising of rebel forces opposing al-Assad’s regime over Syria nearly a year ago, American officials have been critical of the country’s government but insist that they have otherwise distanced themselves from becoming involved in the protests. Following the deaths of dozens of protesters in the spring of 2011, the United States imposed strict sanctions against the official government of Syria.
Navi Pillay, the United Nations’ high commissioner for human rights, revealed this week that the uprising in Syria has caused over 5,000 deaths since it began in early 2011. In the case of the crackdown against former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s regime, NATO involvement began only one month into the uprising. Nine months later, the total death toll of the Libyan Civil War is estimated to be close to 30,000.
In her report, Edmonds says that NATO troops have been training soldiers just outside of Syria since as early as May, and that US media is prohibited from reporting on it until today. The Turkish paper Milliyet also reports that defected Syrian colonel Riad al-Assad is preparing troops to take over the Syrian government as well.

Syria deploys Russian anti-sea missiles on coast, Scuds on Turkish border

Expanded Russian military and diplomatic support for the Assad regime was underscored by the deployment Friday, Dec. 16, of advanced Moscow-supplied Yakhont (SSN-26) shore-to-sea missiles along Syria's Mediterranean shore to fend off a potential Western-Turkish invasion by sea. Last week, Russia airlifted to Syria 3 million face masks against chemical and biological weapons and the Admiral Kutznetsov carrier and strike group was sent on its way to Syria's Mediterranean port of Tartus.
