    I’d rather read sub-titles than listen to this voice.

      I’d rather read comments discussing the content of the report, than the bitchy queen sorts of whinging about the messenger that make the threads after these reports resemble the noise in a NY hair salon.

        I second that. Those subtitles and other things do not create themselves on demand, maybe your help is needed here, this is not MSM.

        Skip over what bothers you, eh?

      Mats, there are many westerners who value truth with all their hearts. Please don’t judge a person’s value by his accent. Rather, he should be thanked for translating for us. Daphne

    I don’t understand the politics but I do understand that all these wars are utter madness. They are satanic, demonic eruptions from the heart of patriarchy which knows only power, having lost contact with love long ago. Have we forgotten that USrael is the Great Satan in the eyes of the deprived? Do we think the dogs of war we feed today will not turn on us tomorrow? The Anglo-Zionists are playing with fire that may turn and consume them when the wind shifts. They think their good luck or god is all the protection they need. War is an addiction which sucks me into its maelstrom as felt in my own case by my intense interest in what is said here at this site. For better or worse, this site is the arrow’s point of truth. Is it better to know or not to know?, that is the question. Fortunately, my addiction to love keeps one step ahead of the war maniac in me. I know this sounds crazy; but so is war. We’d swear off it if we weren’t so addicted to it. War is so exciting; relieves the boredom of life. Like Juliana, I should just ignore this war insanity but I’m not that strong yet. Sorry for the confessional mode which may be inappropriate here. If the moderator doesn’t, you can remove me from your personal screen by skipping ahead. Speaking of which, on the sidebar to my right is Christ lifting people from their coffins. Oh where is love when we need him or is he here?

    Nuts! Videos without transcripts or summaries! There are those of us who are averse to slow motion information deliveries and whom, in general, do not need or get benefit from ‘moving pichurs.’ True, one picture is sometimes worth thousand words . . . but two pictures is usually worth no more than 1001 words and more pictures ‘go negative.’ Granted, sometimes the need to ‘be there’ valuates succinct video.

      Your point works equally in reverse. You prefer text because it’s faster than sitting through speech and video. This presentation prefers speech and video because it’s less work than creating a written transcript.

      The miracles of translation, followed by the supreme service of editorial summary, have already happened. The third miracle would be a transcript, written by people performing additional work.

      As a service, instead of complaining you could write down these words and present them to us as a transcript. Or you could spend your comment helping us understand what was said here, so others pressed for time would have an option not to listen. Many commenters here help with that third miracle. You could join in.

    International Sociopaths [IS], sponsored by Wahhabi Aligned Saudis [WAS] and trained by France, the UK and US [FUKUS], create an entirely new, Western Operated War [WOW] zone, where black clad Persons, Associated With Nihilistic Societies [PAWNS play deadly games of Russian Roulette.

    I disagree with the previous commenters, I think the video and the announcer’s delivery are great! This is a really great news summary.

    • Anonymous on May 14, 2015  ·  at 10:39 pm EST/EDT

      Yes, this is a superb report, done by volunteers, with far far more info delivered with well-edited appropriate images than any MSM source.

    This cannot be real – can it?

    In some places YouTube is blocked, so transcript would be great. And no VPN doesn’t work reliably.

  8. Grieved on May 15, 2015  ·  at 3:37 am EST/EDT

    Now that I’ve watched it, I have to agree that this is one of the best information presentations I’ve seen in a long time. Very dense and very well done. I clicked through to YouTube to watch it, where – behold – the producers have generously supplied us with a transcript:

    Last month Islamist insurgents including al Qaeda’s wing in Syria, Nusra Front, captured the town of Jisr al-Shughour in Syria’s Idlib province, edging closer to the government-held heartland of Latakia along the coast. In turn, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said army setbacks were part of normal warfare. Battles have been raging around the hospital on the southwestern outskirts of Jisr al-Shughour, where army forces and allied fighters have been holed up since the extremists’ offensive began. Government forces have endured a series of setbacks on the battlefield and Islamist fighters have edged closer to Assad’s stronghold in the coastal areas.

    Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia is actively supporting a hardline coalition of Islamist rebels against Bashar al-Assad’s regime that includes al-Qaeda’s affiliate in Syria. The country is focusing its backing on the combined Jaish al-Fatah, or the Army of Conquest, a command structure for the jihadist groups in Syria that includes Jabhat al-Nusra, an extremist rival to Islamict State which shares many of its aspirations for a fundamentalist caliphate. It threatens to trump Washington’s own attempt to train so-called “pro-Western opposition fighters”, announced by President Barack Obama a year ago but finally launched only last week. The number of fighters involved is small and, crucially, the State Department insists that they would take the field against Isis and not against the regime. However, official Washington’s attitude has to be examined apart from its real interests. Many refer arising of terroristic entities such as al-Qaeda and Islamic State with US’s activity in the region.

    The Army of Conquest is the coalition, whose formation was announced in March, comprises a range of mostly jihadist and Islamist groups including Al-Qaeda affiliate Jabhat al-Nusra, Jund al-Aqsa and the powerful Islamist Ahrar al-Sham. Its command center is established in Idlib, northern Syria. Turkish officials admit giving logistical and intelligence support to the command headquarters. Although they deny giving direct help to al-Nusra, they acknowledge that the group would be beneficiaries. Turkish officials claim that bolstering Ahrar al-Sham will weaken the influence of al-Nusra. Material support – arms and money – have been coming from the Saudis, say rebels and officials.

    Syria will face greater instability and control by extremist groups as soon as Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s momentum in fighting off rebel groups is decreased. U.S. security officials attribute the gains of militants in part to their wide battleground experience and ability to use advanced tactics. There are also marks that extremists have become more coherent in their organization. The U.S. is continuing to argue that it supports only moderate rebels. Meanwhile, U.S. officials pointed out that they still had trouble identifying moderate partners, while al Qaeda affiliate al Nusra and Islamic State were tried to take advantage of any cracks in the government’s control. In account of these facts, question arises. If US has troubles with identifying ‘moderate rebel groups’ and its training of “pro-Western opposition fighters” is failed, which entities is U.S. supporting now?

    The Foreign Minister of Russia Sergei Lavrov met his U.S. counterpart John Kerry, on Tuesday, in the Russian city of Sochi. Addressing the media after the talks, both diplomats stressed that they were on common ground with regards to many issues, including the situation in Syria and the threat of Islamic State terrorists in the region, as well as the Iranian nuclear deal. They also discussed the developing conflict in Yemen. The Russian Ambassador to the United States Sergei Kislyak added that the discussion between the ministers and President Putin will help define priorities and outline a future course in the relations between the two countries.

    It is good that South front are moving to the world arena.
    Ukraine although very intense for some time is just a part of the resistance against the Wolfowitz doctrine that the US is pursuing.

    No Moral – No Integrity – Just another sleazy Western politician –

    Hollande didn’t dwell on that outrageous violation of international and humanitarian law in Yemen. He was far too busy garnering the signatures of Arab despots for the sale of French warplanes.

    No sooner had the ink dried and Hollande was then off to the sunny Caribbean to sign up more French business contracts.

    The only thing “historic” about Hollande’s global touring is the historic lowness of Western leaders.
