Putin gifted Syrian canton of Afrin to a deranged would-be Turkish Ottoman Emperor.
Just 24 hrs before they started blasting the only progressive forces in the Middle East with US planes and German tanks the ‘Turkish Hitler’ Erdogan announced the giving of permission to Russia to build the 2nd #turkstreamgas pipeline through Turkey into Europe.
“The grim tally of children killed in Syria in the past two weeks has increased daily as violence escalates in several areas across the country,” Fran Equiza, UNICEF Representative in Syria, said in a statement titled “Is the world becoming numb to the killing of children?”
Without 100% control of the airspace the Turkish invasion would have been impossible. Today in 2021 Afrin the Kurdish population has fallen from %95 to under %20 and it is still held by Turkey and settled with chaotic mercenary bands of far right Jihadis, paid in Turkish money, and supplementing their income by looting, kidnapping and extortion.
In the west we hear endless fabrications about Genocide in prosperous Xinjiang, but never a word about the horrific Genocide of Afrin, guaranteed by Turkey’s NATO military.
(Russia controls the air space and was able to stop Turkey and Turkstream and ban their air force when they downed a Russian fighter in 2015).. One word ..NYET from Putin could have paralysed the invasion and the likely loss of thousands of innocent lives and permanently a canton of Syria. (see.. #Putin betrays its Syrian ally against #Turkey because it wants the #Bosphorus and #Turkstream)
We’re used to blaming the USA as the king of predator capitalism but Russia is just as bad. Modern nation states degenerate into repressive corrupt mafias, and that’s why the Kurdish Revolution is in principle not even demanding a new State . (see..Rojava Revolution.. A Utopia at the Heart of Syrian Chaos)
By agreeing the Turkstream 2 pipeline and bombing the villages of US allies Erdogan slammed the door on the USA imperialists. …Great?! … But only to implement an equally capitalist as well as racist, jihadi, hierarchical and ultra misogynist police state.

It’s not just the Turkstream 2 pipeline, a third is planned if permission to enter the EU is obtained. Erdogan gets cheap gas to aid his nightmares of Empire and SE Europe will get locked into 50 yrs more of climate-lethal fossil fuel gas now shown to be as bad as coal due to methane leakages…
The ‘Turkish Hitler’ got to supreme power partly by cynically sabotaging the advanced peace process with the Kurdish PKK and playing the traditional nationalist card of racist paranoia and pogroms against the 18 million strong Kurdish minority.

One place to start is Google Earth. Type in Fairy Creek. Watch the planet swivel round to Canada’s west coast and zoom into Vancouver Island, green from a distance but gathering gray-brown splotches as the clearcuts come into range.
There’s Port Renfrew, the logging and fishing town at the south end of the West Coast Trail; beside it, tucked into the estuary where the San Juan and Gordon Rivers spill into a broad bay lined with mammoth driftwood, is the Pacheedaht First Nation’s reserve, just a few dozen bungalows and trailer homes.
——--Day 27 of Police EnforcementDay 309 of Direct Action Protecting Vancouver Island’s Ancient Temperate Rainforests on Pacheedaht and Dididaht Territories 222 arrests to date and counting8 total arrests today————–————————————————–Today’s Updates:RCMP ARREST CHILDREN TO UPHOLD A SYSTEM OF ECOCIDAL GREED Today the RCMP sent 47 overt officers, at least 2 special ops officers in camo in the woods and an unknown number of undercover officers to arrest 8 forest defenders. The result of this significant waste of resources includes the arrest of three girls aged 16, 17 and 18.
These girls are standing up for old growth forests for the sake of those very police officers’ own children and grandchildren.Despite set-backs earlier in the week and ongoing police intimidation and arrests, WE HAVE HELD OUR GROUND! Brave forest defenders of all ages continue to delay industry by chaining themselves to the earth, to logs, to gates, to each other, and suspending themselves high above the earth at the tops of their beloved trees or up in tripods.

NHS source claims new data will be “more realistic” in the future, by removing “incidental” Covid from the records. ‘The new method will NOT be backdated, as that would make the pandemic almost disappear!‘
by Kit Knightly
The UK’s National Health Service has received new instructions from the government on how it should record Covid19 “cases”, separating those who are actually sick from those who just test positive.
From the beginning of the “pandemic” last spring, the NHS (and other countries all over the world) have defined a “case” as anyone who tests positive for the Sars-Cov-2 virus, regardless of whether or not they have symptoms.

An indictment drafted by an Ankara prosecutor calls for a prison sentence of up to two years for Ezgi Mola, a popular Turkish actress, accused of insults after tweeting in August 2020 about the release of a former soldier accused of kidnapping and repeatedly raping an 18-year-old Kurdish woman, İpek Er .
Ipek was left 80% paralysed and left evidence and a letter before attempting suicide in despair, dying in hnospital 33 days later.

“Drown in the conscience that has allowed you to release this lifeless rapist,” Mola said in a tweet referring to Musa Orhan, who was released pending trial after six days behind bars by a court of law. Siirt on August 26, 2020,despite a forensic report confirming that he raped İpek Er.
