    Editor’s Comment: With so much at stake in the economy, and so much resentment at the system, the fraudulent leaders drag everyone into a major war for the shear power of centripetal force the could hold everyone together under the threat of an external enemy.

    For a failing empire, it is the last stand for dollar hegemony and the fight to hold back changes in world order.

    World War 3 Coming Soon? Tanks Roll Across The Border As Turkish Invasion Of Syria Begins

    by Michael Snyder

    The invasion of Syria that so many people have been warning about is now happening.  On Wednesday, Turkish tanks rolled across the Syrian border, and they were accompanied by radical Islamic Syrian rebels that want to ultimately overthrow the Assad regime.  This invasion was conducted under the code name “Euphrates Shield”, and it was supported by airstrikes from A-10s and F-16s that are part of the U.S.-led coalition that has been conducting airstrikes against ISIS targets in the region.  The mainstream media in the United States has been very quiet about this escalation of the conflict in Syria, but things are much different in the rest of the world.  For example, a major Israeli news source announced the attack this way: “Turkey invades Syria“.  And without a doubt, that is precisely what is taking place.  The Syrian government denounced this move by Turkey as a “blatant breach to its sovereignty”, and the Russians are deeply alarmed.  The farther Turkish forces push into northern Syria, the more likely they will be to encounter Syrian or Russian forces, and one bad move could result in the outbreak of World War 3 in the Middle East.

    The fact that the U.S. media is treating this invasion of Syria as if it is of little importance is deeply disturbing.  These days, the big news channels are obsessed with feeding us propaganda about how “healthy” Hillary Clinton is, or about how “racist” Donald Trump is, and they spend exceedingly little time on the things that really matter all over the globe.

    Fortunately, it is not the same way around much of the rest of the planet.  Here is an excerpt from a British news source about the Turkish attack…

    It is hard to anticipate whether Turkey’s unprecedented military incursion into Syria this week will change the dynamics of the multiple wars that have ravaged the region and put civilians through hell. If things already seemed complicated in the Middle East, they may have just become even more so. What started on Wednesday ranks as the largest Turkish military operation inside Syrian territory since the civil war began five years ago. A dozen tanks, reportedly followed by a bus transporting Syrian rebels, rolled into northern Syria to drive Islamic State forces from the town of Jarablus, one of their last footholds on the Turkish-Syrian border. Today Turkey sent more tanks in and told the YPG Kurdish armed group it had one week to retreat from the border areas.

    We are being told that the primary purpose of this Turkish invasion is “to fight ISIS”, but that is just for western consumption.  The truth is that Turkey has actually been supporting ISIS and other terror groups in Syria for a very long time.  In fact, it has been heavily documented that ISIS sold hundreds of millions of dollars worth of stolen oil through Turkey until the Russians put a stop to it.

    No, the real motivation for this assault is to stop the advance of Kurdish forces.  Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu recently promised that Turkey would “do what is necessary” to keep Kurdish fighters east of the Euphrates River, and even President Erdogan is admitting that the Kurds are primary targets in this operation

    “(Wednesday’s operation) started in the north of Syria against terror groups which constantly threaten our country, like (ISIS) and the PYD,” Erdogan said, referring to a Syrian Kurdish opposition political party.

    And U.S. officials know exactly what Erdogan is doing.  Just check out what one of them told CNN

    Another senior US official told CNN’s Barbara Starr the US assessment is that Turkey’s cross-border action is largely about trying to stop Kurdish action. “The Turks never cared about Jarablus until the Kurds wanted to get there,” the official said.

    So now the Turks have declared open season on the Kurds in northern Syria, and the Syrian Kurds are treating this move as “a declaration of war”

    Spokesman for the YPG Kurdish militia, Redur Xelil, called Turkey’s move “blatant aggression in Syrian internal affairs.” Aldar Xelil, another influential Kurdish politician, accused Turkey of initiating an occupation of Syria, saying the operation amounted to “a declaration of war” on the autonomous administration set up by Kurdish groups in northern Syria in 2011.

    According to the Turkish government, Operation Euphrates Shield will “create a safe zone” that will be 90 kilometers long and 40 kilometers wide that stretches roughly from the town of Jarablus to the town of Marea.

    That is a massive amount of territory, and this basically shows that the Turks plan to set up shop there permanently.

    President Erdogan and his supporters have always dreamed of recreating the old Ottoman Empire, and they already have military forces occupying portions of northern Iraq.  This move into northern Syria is yet another bold move in the direction of their ultimate goal.

    But will the Russians just stand by and allow the Turks to do whatever they want?

    So far the Russians are not saying much, but Vladimir Putin has ordered snap military drills

    Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered snap military drills as German Chancellor Angela Merkel accused him of breaking international law in Ukraine and said NATO will defend member states against attack.

    Combat readiness exercises are taking place “to defend the interests of the Russian Federation amid increasing threats to its security,” Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Thursday in a statement on the ministry’s website. Troops in Russia’s southern, central and western military districts, naval deployments in the Black Sea and Caspian Sea, and airborne forces are involved, he said.

    The Russians don’t want to fight Turkish forces in Syria, but as they have shown in Crimea, in Ukraine and elsewhere, they are definitely not afraid to take military action when their interests require it.

    And if Russia and Turkey do start fighting, that would threaten to drag the rest of NATO (including the United States) into the conflict.

    Turkey has been chomping at the bit to start grabbing chunks of territory in northern Syria for quite some time now, but this invasion is going to turn out to be a tragic mistake.

    President Erdogan has definitely overplayed his hand this time, and let us just hope that it doesn’t result in World War 3 erupting in the Middle East.

      3. Why is the middle east always at WAR?

        Read the Old Testament. This area was at war right after Adam and Eve left the Garden. I wouldn’t doubt that WW3 starts there.

        Now looking at this from a different angle. We all want ISIS bastards gone RIGHT? Well use the largest army in the area to wipe them out. Syria can’t do anything against Turkey because they are too big on their own and they have NATO backing them.

        IMHO it is better to use Muslims to kill Muslims. Shitties VS. Loonies. Keep the Muslims fighting between them self and then we won’t have to fight them.

        Russians want ISIS gone The American people want them gone. Now the Guberment on the other hand with Obullshit in office doesn’t want his brothers killed so they can come over here to kill us. If ISIS gets a foot hold here IMHO bring on WW3, get it over with.

          Answer: Religion and OIL

        • RE: Silver, The shorts covered and the game continues. Up down, up down. Even the guy in the PM store says it is all rigged and manipulated.. I just said buy low, sell high and average in when possible, just attach your star to their wagon and enjoy the ride.

        • Isis just can’t be gone until their Commander Obama is gone. Hell of a mess we are in.

        • Turkey’s Erdogan is of the same brotherhood as America’s terrorist supporter in chief. He has purged at least 50,000 journalists, writers and critics so far since the ‘coup’. Judges, teachers, soldiers, and government officials have been rounded up.

          As Erdogan is to Turkey, so is barack hussein muhammed osama obama to America. He is at war with us, motivated by hate for Americans and all infidels.

          He uses one rule or principle as a basis for all his policies: how much will it damage the people he hates. Ask that question about everything he does or doesn’t do, and it all falls into place. He blocks anything that would better the lives of Americans, including secure borders.

          His ‘policies’ fail by design, not incompetence. Everything he touches is ruined, the same as all savages who live by the unholy Q-book.

          Even after seeing the death and destruction wrought by the Syrian ‘refugees’ here and everywhere they trespass, he is still forcing America to take in 100,000 Syrian ‘refugees’, all part of his plan to promote terrorism in America.

          We cannot stop this unless we face the fact that the infiltrator usurping the White House is the enemy, not only of America, but of all the free, civilized world. If we don’t unify against him, we will face the ugly fate of the rest of the world controlled by mslm/marxist tyrants.

          • Sarge, I agree 100%.
            The thing that bugs me is why did every single Republican go along with this fraud? To a person! Ok, maybe Cruz on some things…
            What we have here folks is ruin-nation.

      4. Wait a minute! Hold on,all this stinks.Turkey cuts NATO airbase,we fly out our nukes ,Russia to use said base.Now Turkey is going into Syria after (ISIS) But REALLY after the Kurds,who are fighting ISIS!NATO. TOMATO we better not back this $hit

        • Sargent on Am Preppers should not buy or live in any flood zone. This is all part of the criteria when choosing a BOL. And now he wants to rebuild again in the same flood zone? Lost all his supplies? Stupid is.

          ~WWTI… Prepper Tip for Today: Learn from others preppers mistakes.

          • WTF obviously you don’t know jack $.Most that flooded weren’t in flood zones,that’s why they’re FUBAR no insurance.

              • That was directed at WWTI. (it says wwti) 🙂

        • Maniac, the situation at Incerlik, on top of Turks going after Kurds with our air support “it was supported by airstrikes from A-10s and F-16s that are part of the U.S.-led coalition that has been conducting airstrikes against ISIS targets in the region”. We have troops imbeded with the Kurds are we shooting at them too?? this is waaay messed up. Frought with peril!

        • LaManiac

      5. How long after hostilities commence in earnest in Syria before the war comes to the shores of the USA?

      6. Does anyone have a chart of the alliances? Recently Turkey and Russia have met and reached some acceptable agreement for both of them. I’m confused.

      7. Turkey and Erdogan, another American puppet paid off to do it’s will. I hope Russia blows them all away. Obama, Kerry and Hitlery all low level lying scumbags taking orders from the neocon warmongers. Bloody murderers deserve the same ending.

      8. War is imminent. Surrogates or big players this time? Not sure.

        • ITS SUPPOSED TO BE A AIR RAID SIREN.

      9. Come on you all really are you kidding me your not doing what TPTB want you too on here talking about all these countries and us teedering on WW3 . You know your supposed to be redirected with hillary and trump both in a pissing match on who is racist. Now watch the right hand and ignore what the left is doing

      10. Are they trying to get the race war fired back up or is it attention redirection as to the fact that WW3 could fire up any minute cus the truth of how close we are and the teedering the economy is on could cause a crash and the house to fall down

      11. People think I am just full of it sometimes. One friend of mines father has advised not to listen crap from people like me, that government loves us, will be here for us, and will be making sure that food are on trucks and getting shipped to the grocery stores to feed the pregnant mothers and babies all over America.. and if you remember the big fat disgruntled lady who would over hear me talk about reality, was told a few years ago, told me that losers like me are pathetic and cant get a woman, that I am a loser because I don’t have children and that men who are single like me without kids, that something is wrong with us. I guess I am stupid for having a girlfriend, and if I loose her, I will have over 3,000 locally to choose from when the metro fags in porches, astan martins, with no water, food or preps who are busy eating at restaurants daily, are a better choice for women. She bragged to me about how her daughter married and indian doctor, who makes 500,000 a year, that had her daughter try to marry a lower income loser business owner like me that the would have stopped it. So this indian dumb fuck of a usless idiot is better than me as if this little pussified shriveled up skinny curry eating dumbass, that cant even curl a 15 lbs fucking dumbbell, can compare with a red neck muscled up Brass of Brute with the likes of crap like me. Well we get the point. In my area, I am not the only Bairded up read neck with muscles I my region, and this is the norm in my area, some have long hair some don’t, Just as good and just as efficient. Some are fat, some are older, old of fat and skinny and well prepped. We will be the new emerging Bachelors who rule our towns in the very near future. The local hot women will go from gold diggers to food and water diggers. Why, because the food and water is the real gold. We preppers win in the end.

        With what I know, and what I have been told by my scientist buddy shaking out of his balls, shooken up from the F16 Mock bomb attack over his house a few months ago, confirmed by me from another source, who saw the jets, because they know he is busy building free energy, self perpetuating machines, and now he has advised that it time for me to stop posting on this site, and let shock and awe commense, according to him, the October Feb 2017 time frame will teach dumbass dumb phucks a few lessons about food and water intake, that they have it coming. He told me that, we are dead, completely dead because they environment will act up, Cali will go first, and that a major earth quake is getting ready to hit, the precursor one, this one according to him, will be ones that trigger a major prepper movement of new preppers, who will deplete out the survival food, leaving our asses dried up, if we try to order more. That survival food will be non existent by April of 2017. The local women who are single will begin to feel the heat of hardship, and that how the women will start trying to date men who look more prepped up, and come to realize that something is seriously wrong, as they awaken up, and that single men will find themselves girlfriends a lot more easier around March 2017-October 2017 time frame. Buy the way guys, get the hottest looking ones, get a 10, since it post SHTF.

        We can expect more false flag,” and this is a no brainer” and terrorist attacks designed to put our asses in compliance will be causing more unity among men and women in personal relationships. But then again, others will advice you to not read my post. B from Ca gives good advice in regards to me. That you can skip my bullshit and go back to normalcy bais, as B from Ca, prepps his ass off. Not trying to give B and hard time, just phucking with you a little, because I know you are the real deal and not a troll. B, I have a Fema source in Cali, and he said that it’s getting ready to go ape shit with the San Andreas fault. So you may need to get the phuck out and move to the North region which is much better and have more vegetation, just saying.

        Regards,

        HCKS

            • Thanks Sarge. Very informative. You just taught me something and I greatly appreciate it.

              Made me think of Beinformed as well.

      12. Islamofascist Erodogan should recall what 1 Kings 20:11 says:
        The king of Israel answered (to another king who was threatening him), Tell him: Let not him who puts on his armour boast as one who takes it off.

        Many an army marched to victory – think Napoleon, WWI, or Hitler – only to reap the consequences of blowback and unforeseen consequences.

      13. Let the US stay home this time.

      14. Well some of you may have noticed. I have not posted much lately. Several reasons really. The biggest one was because I have been working so much. Just got off of 14 straight 12 hour shifts. We don’t have enough people at either of the power stations I work at. Did not receive a bonus last year. They also now don’t give retirement to all new hires. Both salaried and union. Adjusted the insurance so that you rely way more on Obamacare than the company insurance at retirement.
        I thought things were great right now. That is what the media keeps saying. We are all doing so well. I guess we just don’t know it.

        Regarding the Turkey incursion. It is very odd that it is rarely reported here in the Socialist Republic of the United States. Normally when things are under reported then those are the things you should be looking at. Also makes one wonder with Turkey and Russia cooperating more at this time what is really going on. I want to remind everyone that our dick taker in charge wanted to invade Syria a few years back. Then they faked the use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime so they could undertake the invasion. Could this all be a big charade. We know things are never on the up and up anymore.

        I have a friend who was deployed to Turkey doing the Iraqi no fly zone time. He said they would load our jets. Send them out and the A WAX plains would report all targets. Including Kurdish targets. As soon as our jets would land the Turks would use our reported targets. They would shut the air base down for the Americans. They would then use it to go out and bomb the crap out of the Kurds.

        We also know that Quatar and Saudi Arabia want to put a gas pipeline through Syria to Europe. This will take away Russia’s big poker chip of control and money. Since they currently supply Europe with gas.

        Other things I can report that I know are happening. Many troops have been sent to Eastern Europe. The troops were told that it was to train with NATO troops as a show of force against Russia. I was informed that it has more to do with the Refugee crisis in Europe. I was told that I would not believe the threats they are tracking.

        Things are not what they seem as usual. So many threats. So many warnings. Who knows what is next.

        None of this really adds up. Turkey is in the middle of both sides. They also have become way more socialist and dictatorial after the attempted coup. What is really going on.

        Ideas I would love to hear!!!!!!

      15. Your 100% on the money. Hopefully the trolls don’t come after you for that comment..

        Regards

        HCKS.

        • HCKS

          I hope they do. Not because I argue. Because I don’t care. Takes the fun out of it for them. We all know they would not act that way in person. It’s easy behind a key board. In person no one acts that way. So I really enjoy the fun of it when they come after me on here. Also gives a chance for other comments which can be educational to all and to me.

          So trolls bring it on. It’s fun on the keyboard.

          HCKS thinks for the compliment too

          • Mike in VA, good to hear from you and try to rest up all you can. I had a fun 2 weeks at the BOL last week of July and first week of Aug. I’ve finally got most of my supplies stored there now. got another trip scheduled for Oct. but might be going back sooner the way things are shaping up. The trolls can come after me too. I admit I enjoy taking them on. And yes the keyboard really is fun. LOL! Take care.

            • Brave

              It is always good to hear from you my friend. If you ever get near Virginia just let me know. It would be great to say hi in person.

              • Mike, what Brave said…I was missing your posts too.
                Been real busy here too..
                Braveheart, you think you have all your supplies ready?
                Have you checked buttcrack’s list lately?
                Man, there’s just too many things we need and depend on.
                I will miss soap, gonna run out eventually, along with most everything.
                And coffee. the plant grows here, but what a process. Forget it..we’ll do without I guess.

                • Ketchupondemand

                  Thanks my friend. It is good when you take a break sometimes. Gives you a fresh perspective when you return. It is also rough when you are working as much as I have been. 14 straight 12 hour days. I did a stretch of 26 straight 2 months ago. I am good now and feel lucky to have a job even though they keep cutting our benefits. Many would love to have the job I have so I try to keep that in perspective as well. Hope you have been great.

        • HCKS, glad to see you posting some good info again. let the f#$5in’ trolls bring it on. I’ve never backed down from a troll before and won’t start now. Hang in there, brother. You’re NOT a nutcase.

      16. Lets see if I can remember this:

        ” Two Wolves and a Sheep argue over what is for dinner. A well armed Sheep then disagrees with the decision ”

        -Benjamin Franklin

        Coming to a neighborhood near you soon…

        • USMC

          A sheep dog comes in and kills the wolves. Then the sheep dog and sheep have dinner.

      17. The purpose, and the only purpose, is to overthrow a non muslim government, and replace it with a muslim government, and sharia! This is obama since 2008! Arab spring, after arab spring! And it’s all 100% obama!

        • Dave

          I do think you have a point with Obama. There are other interest involved from other parties. The longer I live the more I realize it is follow the money.
          Money is power and there lies the root to the interest. Just not sure how all the parties involved are going to blend. In fact they have different interest in mind. Not going to blend at all. Going to eliminate those that are against there interest. Does anyone else think Turkey seems to be playing on both sides?

      18. Present Middle East issues begin with Isaac & Ishmael.

        Requires research.

        However, yes there is oil, and yes the west has an addition to it, yes we could get oil from other areas, but Israel is in the land and conflicts have escalated since its return to the land given to them in a divine covenant God made with Abraham.

        And Jerusalem, The Temple Mount, more valuable than all the oil in the Middle east.

        If all of you would remember that, your understanding will have increased 100 fold.

        • And Then 2,000 yrs ago…God made a New different covenant. As He said prior that He would do. Because the 12 tribes israel refused one too many times to Obey that first covenant. And everything Promiced since abraham on mandated stirct adherence and obedience to that first covenant.

          it Takes a bit of New Testement research. But there you shall find what Paul wrote about this issue.

          Book of Glataions is great place to read it all.

          Like in Glataions where Paul states that the very promice God made to abraham to bless abe and bless abs seed etc in genesis, did Not pertain to any jews, never meant jews and never would. Because as per paul in Gal, the very word used of “Seed” was Singular not Plural as in Many seeds. And that in that OT genesis abraham promice to bless, the very word “seed” ONLY pertained to Jesus Christ as the great blessings.

          Paul also stated that there is NO longer a difference between a jew or a greek(aka gentile) nor a man or a women for with the New Better and never again to get replaced covenant, it opened the door to salvation to All type peoples everywheres.

          Try reading the past Few good articles by chuck baldwin, a pastor and NON 501C taxfree church so chuck can and does speak of UN PC stuff no other pastors dares to mention.

          He well explains how and why most christians today have been so terribly judiaised due to scofields bible version since 1904 era or so, that they are totally mixed up big time on all the current rage of israel support and jew defenders etc.

          Chucks article of a couple days ago also lists a good web link to a site called Wakethechurch dot org or dot com.

          It has an entire side bar section on various israel and zionists isuses.

          Just as so many folks has been so Misled on phony Pre Trib stuff for so long now, those folks has also been totally Misled on jewry and zios and israel too and usually by the exact same apostate pastors afraid of own shadows in abject Fear of loss of tax freee 501C irs status.

          A small Few pastors like baldwin actually do speak and write about all types political issues too…They are not tax free irs Slaves like all them haggee type frauds are.

          Just an FYI so folks do not keep wasting valuable time with the too many current falshoods as preached today by so many. At Minimum Read Galatians and awaken to that fraud promoted on israel firster stuff eh. You Owe it to self no?

        • Watching

          I am aware of all of that. There will never be peace in the middle east. I was referring to current events and trying to make sense of them. Some of what Turkey and others are doing makes no sense. That is all I meant. It is wise to watch events over there because I know about the things in your post.

      19. Russia is not standing it’s ground in Syria which makes me think that we are watching a play where everthing has been scripted.

        Obummer and Hillary are both just banker puppets and acting there part as Congress pulls the strings but it’s starting to dawn on me that Mr Putin is also acting like a puppet on a string or Putin has lost his balls.

        No americans boots should be on the ground in Syria or planes in the skys above Syria so why is Russia acting like a big puff and allowing the USA to push Mr Putin around.

        Yes, yes I know we can all play “MAD” because we have the americans telling us this every other day because they think these games will only be played in Europe, they are wrong

      20. Putin is a Libra and the sun is now in his 12th house of problems/restrictions/ behind the scene activities.. a time of reflection.

        However, on the 21st of September, the sun will go into Libra– his birth sign and you better believe he will not tolerate the US/Turkey shit. Russians don’t like war but they don’t take crap off anybody. Hell and destruction is coming to Turkey/US forces.

      21. Of course, he also has to contend with the crap happening in Ukraine (Ergoden getting uppedy) and the Germans who have decided to declare war on Russia because of Russians’ annexation of Crimea… a whole lot is on his plate. Basically, the US and its allies are about to attack Russia on all fronts.

        Also, Putin has said that when he realizes the enemy is about to attack, he learned from WW2 to attack them first! So I am sure he is in close contact with China- Russia’s close ally- and I am sure they have something sneaky planning to come our way… he is a real good chess player, I hear.

        • Well Turkey seems to be snubbing there nose at us currently. They met with Putin. Maybe Putin gave Turkey his blessing for a limited excursion.

      22. Dmitry Orlov said that Russia will not go nuclear, that they will do a whole lot of blasts — different areas and different techniques… for example, an EMP to take out the electrical grid in the US and also different means to destroy our roads, etc.. Its also been said (by Putin?) that the Russians will take the war to the other party’s country in future (instead of it always ending up on Russia’s shores)… so, we here in the US have a lot to look forward to…

        US and its stupid puppets are all surrounding Russia, getting ready to attack her on many different fronts.. what would be the best means to attack/destroy them first.. that will be what Putin is contemplating at this time… what would you do if you were in Putin’s place?

      23. I am still mystified about the growing problems with Russia. Why? What strategic Us interest is threatened by them. How does what is happening in the Ukraine really affect us at all. Crimeans and are basically Russian, why should we care about their choice of sovereignty . Why is aRussian initiative to stop Issis from destabilizing the whole world a problem, nature abhors a vacuum and since we will not take out Issis.nwhy should the Russians trying to do so be considered a threat to us? What have the Russians done that would warrant NATO to consider engulfing the whole world into nuclear war. This is madness, read The Guns of August again last week. We appear to have conditions similar to the run up to World War 1 much more than the ones that led to World War 2. Nobody I talked to can give me a rational explanation of why we are on the brink of war with the one power capable of really hurting us. Just madnes!!!!!

          We are here because of economic issues. We want to help Saudi Arabia put a pipeline through Syria to supply energy to Europe. Regarding Ukraine that is also about energy for us. It is full of oil.
          Money and Power. That’s the explanation.

          When there have been economic problems in history it is always followed by war. The deal with Saudi Arabia protects the U.S. petro dollar. Which means the dollar remains the world reserve currency.
          You can say it does not make sense to risk this. You would be right. The thing is those in power are not like us. They don’t think like us. All they care about is money and power even if it means many must die. They think they are better than we are. They believe they are basically a master race and we are pawns on a big chess board. Hope this helps you to try and make sense of it.
