Swedish Analyst – The Smear Campaign against Putin and the true US Agenda – Part 1

While the Russian opinion polls in support of President Putin now has reached a record level of 89% he is simultaneously target of a very dirty smear campaign in the West. Putin, we are told, is a power-hungry dictator intending to restore the Soviet Empire. He is portrayed as a danger to world peace, a dictator with a background as a KGB officer, who controls the ”communist” Russia with an iron fist. All is completely absurd and hides an obvious purpose.

How Neocons Destabilized Europe

The refugee chaos that is now pushing deep into Europe – dramatized by gut-wrenching photos of Syrian toddler Aylan Kurdi whose body washed up on a beach in Turkey – started with the cavalier ambitions of American neocons and their liberal-interventionist sidekicks who planned to remake the Middle East and other parts of the world through “regime change.” Instead of the promised wonders of “democracy promotion” and “human rights,” what these “anti-realists” have accomplished is to spread death, destruction and destabilization across the Middle East and parts of Africa and now into Ukraine and the heart of Europe.

Below is a very important report by Patrick Cockburn on the deteriorating situation in Syria with regard to (1) the terrible refugee crisis that may be on the verge of getting much worse, because ISIS forces are positioning themselves to cut the only major road connecting Damascus to government-held territory in north and northwest; and (2) the strategic reality that the only way to US led airpower can be effective in Syria against ISIS and it fellow Jihadis would be to coordinate airstrikes with Assad’s ground operations.  This report, by one of the very best reporters covering the Islamic State makes a mockery of the Petraeus mad plan to peel away less radical Jihadis from the ISIS/al Nusrah axes of operations.

Isis are threatening to capture a vital highway in Syria – the loss of which could push millions of refugees out of government-held areas

Exclusive: Though the Assad regime may not be about to collapse, any sign that it is weakening could convince millions of Syrians that it is time to leave the country

Advanced Cyber/IO

berto smallEnd-to-end encryption is key for securing the Internet of Things

Securing the IoT begins with understanding why it requires a fundamentally different set of strategies and tools than those currently used in IT, telecom and other domains   . . .   SSL/TLS is not sufficient for small devices with the need to protect the data in use, in motion and at rest.
