Iraque contra-ataca o Estado Islâmico
É o maior revés sofrido pelo Estado Islâmico (EI) desde que tomou de assalto o Norte do Iraque no Verão passado: tropas iraquianas, com milícias xiitas apoiadas pelo Irão e combatentes sunitas conseguiram entrar em Tikrit esta semana e dominam já partes do bastião do EI. A reconquista da cidade abre caminho para uma investida em direcção a Mossul. Mas se o EI perde terreno no autoproclamado califado - também com os avanços das forças curdas no Noroeste do país -, os extremistas rompem fronteiras noutras latitudes e ganham presença na Líbia.A ofensiva das tropas governamentais iraquianas foi lançada no início do mês e conta com um contingente de cerca de mais de 23 mil homens, que «querem fazer as preces de sexta-feira no centro de Salahuddin», conforme afirmou Hisham al-Hashimi, conselheiro do Governo iraquiano sobre o EI, referindo-se à capital da província de Salahuddin, Tikrit. A cidade está a ser reconquistada pelas frentes norte, sul e oeste, rechaçando os terroristas para o centro de Tikrit.
A capital de Salahuddin tinha sido tomada de assalto em Junho pelo EI, que neutralizou soldados iraquianos, na sua maioria xiitas. Na altura, foram executados centenas de militares, com o apoio de líderes das tribos sunitas. A integração de sunitas nas forças que agora tentam repelir o EI serve para apaziguar ódios religiosos e minimizar represálias contra populações sunitas - no entanto já houve retaliações em áreas reconquistadas.
O actual contingente que cerca Tikrit engloba mais de 3.000 soldados governamentais, 20 mil milicianos xiitas da Mobilização Popular e os combatentes sunitas. Se houver retaliação em larga escala contra civis sunitas, teme-se que a operação de manter Tikrit sob controlo governamental possa ficar comprometida, assim como quaisquer esperanças de estabilização.
A coligação liderada pelos Estados Unidos não contribuiu para a iminente perda de Tikrit - cidade onde nasceu o ditador iraquiano Saddam Hussein. Não houve apoio dos raides aéreos porque o Governo iraquiano não pediu ajuda nesta ofensiva. Os bombardeamentos da coligação concentram-se, sim, em Kirkuk (a cerca de 100 km a nordeste de Tikrit), em apoio ao avanço dos peshmerga, guerrilheiros curdos.
Entre Bagdade, 180 km a sul, e Mossul, 220 km a norte, a reconquista de Tikrit estabelece uma base para incursões em território dominado pelo EI. Mossul é a maior cidade controlada pelos extremistas e prevê-se que a ofensiva das tropas iraquianas possa começar em Abril. Para travar o avanço inimigo, o EI já começou a destruir pontes e 'plantou' mais de 180 mil engenhos explosivos em Tikrit e arredores.
Ao mesmo tempo que Tikrit 'caía', somavam-se atentados suicidas a oeste, em Ramadi, capital da província de Anbar, e ataques com morteiros. E o EI divulgava mais um vídeo de execução sumária: deste vez, uma criança que terá pouco mais de 10 anos a matar um rapaz de 19 com um tiro na cabeça. A 'cria' do EI disparou contra o que os terroristas apelidaram de espião israelita. O adolescente Muhammad Musallam, árabe israelita, tinha fugido há quatro meses de Jerusalém para integrar as fileiras do EI. Os pais do jovem negaram que ele trabalhasse para a Mossad e explicaram que o filho queria voltar para casa, o que terá motivado a execução.
Da Líbia, más notícias
Se no Iraque o EI enfrenta ataques sem precedentes, na Líbia os islamistas encontraram terreno fértil e dominam várias cidades do país, como Sirte - de onde foram raptados os 21 egípcios cristãos recentemente degolados junto ao Mediterrâneo.
Na semana passada ocorreu outro sequestro: o de nove trabalhadores estrangeiros no campo petrolífero de al-Ghani, 750 km a sudeste de Trípoli. Relatos de sobreviventes indicam que membros do EI decapitaram os guardas e levaram dois cidadãos do Bangladesh, quatro filipinos, um austríaco, um checo e um ganês.
Já tiveram de ser encerrados campos petrolíferos no Leste do país por razões de segurança e a produção foi interrompida em 11 campos na região de Sirte - mais um golpe a afectar as exportações de crude e a fazer adivinhar o colapso da economia líbia.
Ontem, um atentado bombista no centro de Trípoli, junto a uma esquadra, feriu um polícia - e confirmou a impunidade com que se move o EI naquele país. O Egipto já tinha pedido à coligação que alargasse as operações para abranger a Líbia. (Sol)
| VIDEO: Cop Shoots 8th Grade Child With Taser Gun for “Being Disruptive” Posted: 14 Mar 2015 10:00 PM PDT Think back to 8th grade: do you remember ever talking out loud or being “disruptive”? Imagine if the punishment was an armed police officer approaching you and shooting you with a Taser gun, frying your nervous system with electrical voltage, for being “disruptive.” |
| Thousands Crowd Brazil's Streets: Demand Military Intervention & Rousseff Resignation, Impeachment Posted: 14 Mar 2015 10:00 PM PDT It appears the 'people' are growing more and more dissatisfied with their corrupt and greedy leaders across the world. As we noted recently, Brazil's economy is imploding, consumer sentiment is at record lows, and with the Petrobras scandal providing a glimpse at just how deep the corruption might go, Brazilians are revolting. Hundreds of thousands are crowding the streets in several regional Brazilian capitals, dominated ironically by the middle and upper classes. Demands for "Dilma Out" and "Impeach Dilma" are also interspersed with calls for a quasi-coup and "military intervention." |
| UK police use stop and search powers on 300 toddlers Posted: 14 Mar 2015 10:00 PM PDT The development is thought to reflect a trend for adult or teenage criminals to conceal illegal items such as guns, knives and drugs on young children in a bid to avoid detection. Forces across Britain confirmed they used the power on under-fives on 288 occasions. |
| Bankrupt Detroit Still Paying For Fluoride – Even During Water Shut Down Posted: 14 Mar 2015 10:00 PM PDT As evidence and studies continue to mount against public water fluoridation, cities that continue to do so risk individual legal action for damages and human rights violations for force-medicating. In Detroit, after becoming the largest American city to file for bankruptcy, there is a move to quickly begin water shutoffs to “protect the city’s budget.” Yet there is still money to be found by the city to purchase hydrofluorosilicic acid (fluoride) from private companies to add to the water supply. In fact, it’s mandated by Detroit city ordinance |
| Minority Report (2002) Esoteric Analysis – Pre-Crime is Now Here! Posted: 14 Mar 2015 10:00 PM PDT Spielberg’s Minority Report is now an important film to revisit. Based on the short story by visionary science fiction author Phillip K. Dick, Spielberg’s film version implements an important number of predictive programming elements not found in Dick. Both are worth a look, but the film is important for JaysAnalysis, since now 13 years later, we are actually seeing the implementation of the total technocratic takeover, including pre-crime tracking systems. |
| South African Doctors Perform First Successful Penis Transplant Posted: 14 Mar 2015 10:00 PM PDT A medical team in South Africa has successfully performed a penis transplant. And, yes, it is fully function. The patient, a 21-year-old whose name is being withheld for ethical reasons, underwent the procedure on December 11, 2014. Three months later, his new member is now completely functional. “Our goal was that he would be fully functional at two years and we are very surprised by his rapid recovery,” says Prof André van der Merwe, head of Stellenbosch University’s Division of Urology. |
| Biden And Poroshenko Talk Money and U.S. military aid to Ukrainian fighters Posted: 14 Mar 2015 10:00 PM PDT U.S. Vice President Joe Biden spoke with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko by phone Saturday to discuss U.S. military aid to Ukrainian fighters and to call on Russian-backed fighters to adhere to a ceasefire agreement, according to U.S. and Ukrainian government statements. Both leaders urged Russia and separatists in eastern Ukraine to abide by the terms of the Minsk agreements adopted in September and February, the White House said in a statement. The agreement, brokered by German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande, calls for withdrawal of heavy artillery from war zones, a prisoner exchange and full access to the conflict site by monitors of the Organization for Security and Cooperation of Europe. |
| U.S. Net Neutrality Has a Massive Copyright Loophole Posted: 14 Mar 2015 10:00 PM PDT After years of debating U.S. Internet subscribers now have Government regulated Net Neutrality. A huge step forward according to some, but the full order released a few days ago reveals some worrying caveats. While the rules prevent paid prioritization, they do very little to prevent BitTorrent blocking, the very issue that got the net neutrality debate started. |
| Virginia passes law requiring a warrant for law enforcement use of controversial stingray technology Posted: 14 Mar 2015 10:00 PM PDT Kudos, Virginia, land of spies! The state has enacted a privacy law requiring a warrant for state and local law enforcement content surveillance and location tracking. The statute explicitly includes a warrant requirement for police use of controversial cell site simulator or stingray technology, which allows cops to bypass phone companies and track phones directly. |
| Ancient statues destroyed by ISIS fake, real ones safe – report Posted: 14 Mar 2015 10:00 PM PDT The ancient statues that Islamic State militants smashed in Mosul on camera last month have been proved to be exact replicas of precious artifacts of Iraqi heritage. The real masterpieces of antiquity are said to be in Baghdad. “They were copies. The originals are all here,” Baghdad’s museum director told Germany’s Deutsche Welle. |
| Not Shocking: Jeb Bush sold patronage and favors to his top political donors Posted: 14 Mar 2015 10:00 PM PDT The AP analysis of Bush's 275,000 FOIA'ed emails show that "donations" to his campaign were really more like "purchases." Of course, this is what everyone suspects -- indeed, is certain of -- in the case of politicians. But it's one thing to see the money come in and the appointments flow out, and another to read the elected officials corresponding with their staffers saying, basically, "Hey, this guy gave me a lot of money, let's give him this plum appointment." |
| Neo-Conning? Kerry Says US Will Have To Negotiate With Syria’s Assad Posted: 14 Mar 2015 10:00 PM PDT Washington has long insisted that Assad must be replaced through a negotiated, political transition, but the rise of a common enemy, hardline militant group Islamic State, appears to have slightly softened the West’s stance towards him. |
| Treasury planning emergency measures to meet debt Posted: 14 Mar 2015 10:00 PM PDT The United States is currently at the federal debt limit, but for the last 12 months hasn’t had to suffer the consequences of it — thanks to a congressional-imposed suspension, which expires Sunday. That means, Treasury officials say, they will have to take “extraordinary measures” beginning Monday to keep the federal government’s head above fiscal water. |
| Putin: US masterminds behind Ukraine coup, helped train radicals Posted: 14 Mar 2015 10:00 PM PDT The Ukrainian armed coup was organized from Washington, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated in an interview for a new documentary aired Sunday. The Americans tried to hide behind the Europeans, but Moscow saw through the trick, he added. “The trick of the situation was that outwardly the [Ukrainian] opposition was supported mostly by the Europeans. But we knew for sure that the real masterminds were our American friends,” Putin said in a documentary, ‘Crimea – The Way Home,’ aired by Rossiya 1 news channel. |
| In its Desperation, Scandal-Riddled Spanish Government Criminalizes Solidarity Among Citizens Posted: 14 Mar 2015 10:00 PM PDT On Tuesday, March 10, 19 Spanish citizens were rounded up in dawn raids by the Madrid police. They are accused of committing a crime against the Spanish state. That crime? Trying to prevent, through passive, non-violent resistance, the forced eviction of a local resident. If found guilty, the suspects could face crippling fines. Welcome to Rajoy’s Spain, where helping out your neighbor in his or her hour of need is now an administrative crime. |
| 25 Statist Propaganda Phrases (And How To Rebut Them) Posted: 14 Mar 2015 10:00 PM PDT In the discourse of statists, there is a group of phrases of which one or more tend to be present in nearly every argument. While this is not an exhaustive listing of that group, it does contain twenty-five of the most common phrases that statists use in their arguments. As propaganda has a tendency to be repetitive, some of these phrases contain the same logical fallacies, and will therefore have similar refutations. As such, the phrases are ordered so that earlier rebuttals also apply to some later phrases. |
| How The CIA Gave Al-Qaeda $1 Million, And What That Money Was Used For Posted: 14 Mar 2015 10:00 PM PDT As the US and key stakeholders in the Middle East debate the best way to leverage the fight against ISIS in the service of a larger geopolitical agenda, a NY Times piece out today serves as a reminder (in case recent events haven’t made it clear enough) of just how pervasive examples of Western foreign policy blowback have become. As The Times reports, some $1 million in cash funneled to the Afghan government by the CIA ended up in the hands of al Qaeda who, after consulting with Bin Laden, promptly used the money to purchase weapons. |
| Intelligence Officer: Every Single Terrorist Attack In U.S Was a False Flag Attack … Or Egged On By the Government Posted: 14 Mar 2015 10:00 PM PDT In the United States, every single terrorist incident we have had has been a false flag, or has been an informant pushed on by the FBI. In fact, we now have citizens taking out restraining orders against FBI informants that are trying to incite terrorism. We’ve become a lunatic asylum. |
| Egypt unveils plans to build new capital east of Cairo Posted: 14 Mar 2015 10:00 PM PDT The Egyptian government has announced plans to build a new capital to the east of the present one, Cairo.

| Putin drops his American PR company Posted: 13 Mar 2015 10:00 PM PDT Ketchum, part of global marketing group Omnicom (OMC), worked for the Russian government for nine years. But that relationship is now over, apparently a victim of the growing hostility between Russia and the West triggered by the conflict in Ukraine. "We decided not to renew the contract because of the anti-Russian hysteria, the information war that is going on," Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov told CNNMoney. |

Entries about the death of Eric Garner and Amadou Diallo were edited, while a piece on Sean Bell was submitted for deletion. |
| Hertz puts cameras in its rental cars, says it has no plans to use them Posted: 13 Mar 2015 10:00 PM PDT Disgruntled renters on travel forums like MilePoint and FlyerTalk want Hertz to put the brakes on “spy cams.” A loyal Hertz customer who rented a car in Chicago said it might make them never want to rent with Hertz again: The system can’t be turned off from what I could tell. Further investigation revealed that the camera can see the entire inside of the car. |
| Man serves 900 days in jail, though he didn't commit a crime Posted: 13 Mar 2015 10:00 PM PDT A man waiting to testify in an Oregon murder case has been held in jail as a material witness for nearly 900 days, though he has committed no crime. Legal experts tell The Oregonian (http://is.gd/2MEwiu ) that it's exceptionally rare to be held as long as Benito Vasquez-Hernandez.

| Making NATO defunct: Is EU Army intended to reduce US influence in Europe? Posted: 13 Mar 2015 10:00 PM PDT An EU military force is being justified as protection from Russia, but it may also be a way of reducing US influence as the EU and Germany come to loggerheads with the US and NATO over Ukraine.

| UK support for China-backed Asia bank prompts US concern Posted: 13 Mar 2015 10:00 PM PDT The US has expressed concern over the UK's bid to become a founding member of a Chinese-backed development bank.

The troops and vehicles involved will be moving from training exercises conducted as part of Operation Atlantic Resolve in Estonia, Lithuania and Poland, the report said.

| US, UK, and China battle over which bank gets to exploit Third World Posted: 13 Mar 2015 10:00 PM PDT US officials are currently in an uproar over the United Kingdom’s decision to become a founding member of the new Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.

These two little known institutions truly cement the West as the dominant powers in the world. The policies of the new bank will be in direct opposition to those of the World Bank. |

The Family and Social Policies Ministry of Turkey has concluded that the popular video game encouraged children to resort to violence, hence must be banned in the country.

In short, the game is based on violence”. |
