Lavrov: Easier for the US to Fish in Troubled Waters- Unifying Kurdish Held Territories
No one who reads here is going to be surprised that Lavrov is stating the US is trying to join annexed Syrian territory with the Kurdish territory in Iraq to make a unified territory. Like a broken record I've reported on this... repeatedly. While taking a lot of flak for doing so. One of a very, very few, but brave, voices speaking these facts. Sadly. As the 5 eyes main stream and alt avoided th
The Hidden Message of Iran’s Syria Strikes: A View From Israel
Atlantic Council “An unusual strategic event took place this week in the Middle East. For the second time in over a year, Iran fired ballistic missiles on targets in Syria, a country that borders Israel. The first Israeli reports were dramatic. This was because of an erroneous initial report that Iran used Shahab-3 missiles with a 800 miles (1,280 km) range, which would be capable of reaching tar
US Ambassador James Jeffrey: Assad "Sitting on A Cadaver State"
Link & Link On Thursday, Amb. James Jeffrey, US Special Representative for Syria Engagement, described the Trump administration’s thinking about the future of Syria, including Syrian Kurdistan . Because of rapid recent developments in the Syrian conflict, the United States is pressuring the United Nations to implement its resolution that calls for the convening of a constitutional council which s
Impact of WWII bombing raids felt at edge of space
Found this interesting... how about you? Link Scientists are using the findings to further understanding of how natural forces from below, like lightning, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, affect Earth’s upper atmosphere. Chris Scott, Professor of Space and Atmospheric Physics, said: “The images of neighbourhoods across Europe reduced to rubble due to wartime air raids are a lasting reminder of
Syrian Civilians Face Dire Circumstances Under US/PKK Occupation in Syria
Yes, this article is from Yeni Safak. That does not detract from the statements made by the named individual, Sobhi Dassouqi, describing life under occupation . It's a sad reflection of the 5 eyes media, main stream and alt that those that live under the occupation of the empire and it's minions are given no voice. I’ve covered nearly identical reports and have made observations here very similar

Elections 2018: Putting food at the forefront
Food doesn’t often play a central role in electoral politics, but in California’s Assembly District 15, a recent candidate forum entitled “ Food in the 15th ” put food and farming issues at the forefront of a hotly contested race for state Assembly. 200 people attended the forum to hear from Buffy Wicks and Jovanka Beckles, both Democrats, on issues ranging from food access to agriculture’s impac
Bayer can’t greenwash away Monsanto’s mess
As the headlines of their corporate misdeeds pile up, the Monsanto name is becoming even more synonymous with shady dealings and the obfuscation of science, all at the expense of public health. Will the company’s recent mega-merger with fellow seed and pesticide giant Bayer erase Monsanto’s track record? Bayer seems to think so, as they made the decision to drop the Monsanto name completely post-
Farmer Justice takes center stage at the CA Capitol
Rebuilding a fair and resilient farming system means giving voice to those who have often been left out. Historically underserved farmers are just that – historically and systematically shut out of financial resources, markets, and technical assistance, among other opportunities. A group of farmers and farm allies across California seeking to change that lent their voices to some events at the St
EPA turns its back on children's health
Well if it wasn’t clear before, it’s crystal clear now. This administration’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) isn’t protecting children. Yes, that’s a harsh charge. And yes, EPA officials are denying it, loudly protesting that children’s health remains a top priority. But the agency’s recent actions very clearly indicate otherwise. What brain-harming pesticide? Last week, the administration
Farm equity in California: Whose job is it?
This week, the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) officially announced their hiring of the new Farm Equity Advisor (FEA), a position now filled by Thea Rittenhouse . The creation of this position was one of the main pieces included in the Farmer Equity Act of 2017 ( AB 1348 ) — legislation proposed by the farmer and farmer-advocate group, the California Farmer Justice Collaborat
Real solutions to climate change
In mid September, two large-scale climate events converged in the San Francisco Bay Area. Both were oriented around climate change and potential solutions, but the stakeholders involved and their visions for change were often quite different. The Global Climate Action Summit (GCAS), co-chaired by California’s Governor Jerry Brown, brought together many national & international actors on climate c
