Zionist Media will Never Talk About Sex Slave as a “Booming Market” in ISIS

Sex slave “is a booming market in IS. Young girls also became a mere commodity once they are in hands of jihadists… [Khadija] added, recounting that the militants planned to sell a 10-year-old girl for some $10,000."

Sex slavery in ISIS is real.

…by Jonas E. Alexis

CNN and other fake news outlets will never talk about how ISIS is cremating and decapitating civilians in Syria, but those same outlets want to tell us all that the Assad government is out to kill virtually every civilian in the region.

Last February, CNN risibly reported that Russia and the Syrian government “deliberately targeted civilian areas of Aleppo.”[1] But when independent reporters and even UN Peace Council actually went to Syria and talked to the civilian population, they found that the population universally rejected the claim that there is a civil war in Syria. As the UN Peace Council declared last year:

This is not a civil war in Syria. That’s probably the first thing we heard, and we heard it over and over again [among the civilian population]. It is not President Assad against his own people. It is President Assad and the Syrian people, all together, in unity, against outside mercenary forces [and] terror organizations. The names change every day or every other day to try to protect their identity and maybe keep the connection between the country that funded it and that group…There are mercenary forces, supported by Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, United States, and underneath it, Israel.”

Who’s underneath all of this? Israel. It is not a mere hypothesis; it’s not an opinion. It is a brute fact. As former IDF director Efraim Halevy later admitted, Israel has supported terrorist organizations on the border of the Golan Heights in order to fight the Assad government. The Wall Street Journal has reluctantly made reference to this last month.[2]

There is another important point here. The Zionist media will never go to Syria and talk to the vast majority of the civilian population precisely because that would ruin the Israeli propaganda. They will never report what ISIS is doing on the ground.

For example, “women who managed to break free from the clutches of Islamic State terrorists” and those who are fleeing “rampant violence and sex slavery” declare that the Zionist media are lying about what is actually happening in Syria. One lady by the name of Khadija declared:

“Everybody, who takes a stand against them [ISIS], they behead. And people don’t know when this is going to happen. They are not on righteous path. This is the state of tyranny and Satan. My husband renounced them, and told me to do the same. There was a lot of evil in the places where women live. Children were suffering from scabies, lice. When children were ill, they did not receive treatment at hospital.”[3]

Russia Today reported: “If women were found to be in violation of the strict code of conduct, imposed by IS, they were locked up in prison-like detention facilities by female watchers, put in charge of “women dormitories.” Ask CNN if they will report this: “One woman bled to death during labor after the dormitory’s superintendent refused to help her.” Khadija lamented:

“That poor woman went to the garden, while bleeding heavily, stayed there till morning in a rainy and cold weather. Nobody paid attention to her. And in the morning her husband came, saw her body lying in the garden and passed by, without paying any attention, as nothing happened, as if [she] were a dog.

“In another case, a woman became crippled after her plea to be sent to hospital was rejected despite her saying that he leg was rotting. While it appears that for a lot of women the life under IS was a living hell, it was not uncommon for the militants to have a sex slave in addition to a wife.”[4]

Sex slave, the report continues, “is a booming market in IS. Young girls also became a mere commodity once they are in hands of jihadists… [Khadija] added, recounting that the militants planned to sell a 10-year-old girl for some $10,000. It was reported the girls as young as 8 are sold at such slave markets. Some 3,000 to 5,000 Yazidi women are believed to be held captive by IS as sex slaves.”

If you are still a fan of the Zionist Media, perhaps you need to pick up the phone and ask them why they haven’t reported about this sex slave. If they cannot give you a rational explanation, just tell them that they are all fake. You may want to tell them something like this: “Hey, there is a book by a Princeton philosopher by the name of Harry G. Frankfurt that came out in 2005.[5] You may want to pick that book up and read it. That will help you folks a great deal.”

Russia And China Declare All Out War On US Petrodollar — Prepare For Exclusive Trade In Gold

JULY 16, 2017


By Jay Syrmopoulos

The formation of a BRICS gold marketplace, which could bypass the U.S. Petrodollar in bilateral trade, continues to take shape as Russia’s largest bank, state-owned Sberbank, announced this week that its Swiss subsidiary had begun trading in gold on the Shanghai Gold Exchange.

Russian officials have repeatedly signaled that they plan to conduct transactions with China using gold as a means of marginalizing the power of the dollar in bilateral trade between the geopolitically powerful nations. This latest movement is quite simply the manifestation of a larger geopolitical game afoot between great powers.

According to a report published by Reuters:

Sberbank was granted international membership of the Shanghai exchange in September last year and in July completed a pilot transaction with 200 kg of gold kilobars sold to local financial institutions, the bank said.

Sberbank plans to expand its presence on the Chinese precious metals market and anticipates total delivery of 5-6 tonnes of gold to China in the remaining months of 2017.

Gold bars will be delivered directly to the official importers in China as well as through the exchange, Sberbank said.

Russia’s second-largest bank VTB is also a member of the Shanghai Gold Exchange.

To be clear, there is a revolutionary transformation of the entire global monetary system currently underway, being driven by an almost perfect storm. The implications of this transformation are extremely profound for U.S. policy in the Middle East, which for nearly the past half century has been underpinned by its strategic relationship with Saudi Arabia.

THE RISE & FALL OF THE PETRODOLLAR

The dollar was established as the global reserve currency in 1944 with the Bretton Woods agreement, commonly referred to as the gold standard. The U.S. leveraged itself into this power position by holding the largest reserve of gold in the world. The dollar was pegged at $35 an ounce — and freely exchangeable into gold.

By the 1960s, a surplus of U.S. dollars caused by foreign aid, military spending, and foreign investment threatened this system, as the U.S. did not have enough gold to cover the volume of dollars in worldwide circulation at the rate of $35 per ounce; as a result, the dollar was overvalued.

America temporarily embraced a new paradigm in 1971, as the dollar became a pure fiat currency (decoupled from any physical store of value), until the petrodollar agreement was concluded by President Nixon in 1973.

The quid pro quo was that Saudi Arabia would denominate all oil trades in U.S. dollars, and in return, the U.S. would agree to sell Saudi Arabia military hardware and guarantee the defense of the Kingdom.

A report by the Centre for Research on Globalizationclarifies the implications of these most recent moves by the Russians and the Chinese in an ongoing drive to replace the US petrodollar as the global reserve currency:

Fast forward to March 2017; the Russian Central Bank opened its first overseas office in Beijing as an early step in phasing in a gold-backed standard of trade. This would be done by finalizing the issuance of the first federal loan bonds denominated in Chinese yuan and to allow gold imports from Russia.

The Chinese government wishes to internationalize the yuan, and conduct trade in yuan as it has been doing, and is beginning to increase trade with Russia. They’ve been taking these steps with bilateral trading, native trading systems and so on. However, when Russia and China agreed on their bilateral US$400 billion pipeline deal, China wished to, and did, pay for the pipeline with yuan treasury bonds, and then later for Russian oil in yuan.

This evasion of, and unprecedented breakaway from, the reign of the US dollar monetary system is taking many forms, but one of the most threatening is the Russians trading Chinese yuan for gold. The Russians are already taking Chinese yuan, made from the sales of their oil to China, back to the Shanghai Gold Exchange to then buy gold with yuan-denominated gold futures contracts – basically a barter system or trade.

The Chinese are hoping that by starting to assimilate the yuan futures contract for oil, facilitating the payment of oil in yuan, the hedging of which will be done in Shanghai, it will allow the yuan to be perceived as a primary currency for trading oil. The world’s top importer (China) and exporter (Russia) are taking steps to convert payments into gold. This is known. So, who would be the greatest asset to lure into trading oil for yuan? The Saudis, of course.

All the Chinese need is for the Saudis to sell China oil in exchange for yuan. If the House of Saud decides to pursue that exchange, the Gulf petro-monarchies will follow suit, and then Nigeria, and so on. This will fundamentally threaten the petrodollar.

According to a report by the Russian government media, significant progress has been made in promoting bilateral trade in yuan, between the two nations, as the first step towards an even more ambitious plan—using gold to make transactions:

One measure under consideration is the joint organization of trade in gold. In recent years, China and Russia have been the world’s most active buyers of the precious metal.

On a visit to China last year, deputy head of the Russian Central Bank Sergey Shvetsov said that the two countries want to facilitate more transactions in gold between the two countries.

In April, Sberbank expressed interest in financing the direct import of gold to India—also a BRICS member. Make no mistake that a BRICS gold marketplace could be used to bypass the dollar in bilateral trade, and undermine the hegemonic control enjoyed by the US petrodollar as the global reserve currency.

“In 2014 Russia and China signed two mammoth 30-year contracts for Russian gas to China. The contracts specified that the exchange would be done in Renminbi [yuan] and Russian rubles, not in dollars. That was the beginning of an accelerating process of de-dollarization that is underway today,”according to strategic risk consultant F. William Engdahl.

Russia and China are now creating a new paradigm for the world economy and paving the way for a global de-dollarization.

“A Russian-Chinese alternative to the dollar in the form of a gold-backed ruble and gold-backed Renminbi or yuan, could start a snowball exit from the US dollar, and with it, a severe decline in America’s ability to use the reserve dollar role to finance her wars with other peoples’ money,” Engdahl concludes.

Police: Mississippi girl dies after beating over math lesson


JACKSON, Miss. — Jul 17, 2017, 7:17 PM ET

The Associated Press
Joshua Salovich enters the municipal courtroom for his preliminary hearing in the death of three-year-old Bailey Salovich, Monday, July 17, 2017, in Meridian, Miss. Salovich confessed to police about beating the young girl with a bamboo rod and cell phone cord, causing her death, because she could not correctly answer questions about numbers and then soiled her pants. (Whitney Downard/The Meridian Star via the AP)

A Mississippi man who fatally beat a 3-year-old girl because she couldn't correctly answer questions about numbers told investigators that "this was a tough world and she had to be tough if she wanted to survive," Meridian Police Chief Benny Dubose said Monday.

Joshua Salovich was charged with capital murder, meaning he could face the
death penalty, and held without bail. Detectives testified in an initial court appearance that the 25-year-old boxer-in-training beat toddler Bailey Salovich at maximum force with a bamboo rod, a cellphone cord and his hands.

Salovich's court-appointed lawyer didn't immediately respond to a phone message and an email seeking comment Monday evening.

Dubose said it isn't clear whether Salovich is the child's biological father.

Police were called Friday afternoon after the child arrived at a local emergency room with bruises and cuts all over her body, and at least one head wound, Dubose said.

Questioning Salovich and the child's mother separately, Dubose said Salovich told police that he was asking the toddler questions about numbers and would "pop" her when she answered incorrectly. Salovich said he had used the same method to discipline the child at least five times per week, Dubose said. Salovich told police he used a bamboo rod until it broke, then switched to a cellphone cord to administer some of the licks. Other blows came from his hand.

"He did state that on that day, the child was giving an unusual amount of incorrect answers," Dubose said.

The girl was later taken by helicopter to a Jackson hospital for treatment, where she died Saturday afternoon, Dubose said. Police said the toddler's injuries included bleeding in the brain and lungs, and possible retinal detachment. Police are awaiting autopsy results to determine a cause of death.

When investigators asked Salovich how hard he had hit the child, on a scale of 1 being a tap and 10 being as hard as he could, "he rated them all 10s, with no hesitation," Dubose said.

The Meridian Star reported that detectives Kevin Boyd and Thomas Abate testified that Bailey Salovich soiled herself and, after Joshua Salovich removed her clothing, she soiled herself again.

Dubose said Joshua Salovich and the mother, who has a different last name, said the mother was in a different room, explaining why she hasn't been charged. But Dubose said police are still investigating, including whether the mother knew about his punishment methods.

Dubose said police hadn't received any earlier reports about the child or the adults.

The Meridian Star reported that the mother, who cried with relatives through most of the preliminary hearing, collapsed after the hearing and was taken to a local hospital by ambulance.

Dubose said that in his decades of police work, it's unusual for someone to freely admit abusing a child as Joshua Salovich did.

"He was pretty straightforward about what he did and why he did it," Dubose said.

Trump Has Killed As Many Civilians In 6 Months As Obama Killed in 2 Years

July 18, 2017 at 10:20 am
(COMMONDREAMS)A new investigation shows that President Donald Trump’s bombing campaign against ISIS (the Islamic State) over several months has already led to nearly as many civilian deaths as those overseen by the Obama White House over several years.

According to an Airwars investigation conducted for The Daily Beast, at least 2,300 civilians were killed by coalition strikes from 2015 until the end of Obama’s term earlier this year. But as of July 13, roughly six months into Trump’s presidency, over 2,200 civilians have likely died from coalition strikes.

That translates to roughly 80 civilian casualties each month in Iraq and Syria during the Obama White House; during Trump’s short tenure in the White House, it’s been roughly 360 per month.

Samuel Oakford writes. “Airwars estimates that the minimum approximate number of civilian deaths from Coalition attacks will have doubled under Trump’s leadership within his first six months in office.”

The reason for the trend may be attributed to the result of new war plan to defeat ISIS. It includes a shift to what Secretary of Defense James “Mad Dog” Mattis called “annihilation tactics” to defeat ISIS fighters and the president’s having “delegated authority to the right level to aggressively and in a timely manner move against enemy vulnerabilities.”

In March, the “month after Mattis delivered the new plan, U.S.-led forces likely killed more civilians than in the first 12 months of Coalition strikes—combined,” Oakford writes.

Mattis argues that there have been no changes to the rules of engagement. Ned Price, spokesman for the National Security Council under the Obama administration, pushed back, telling Airwars: “There is a tremendous disconnect between what we’ve heard from senior military officials who are saying there has been no change in the rules of engagement and clearly what we are seeing on the ground.”

Human rights watchdogs, the U.N.-appointed Commission of Inquiry for Syria and Amnesty International among them, have been concerned about the increase in civilian casualties.

Top Coalition commander Lt. Gen. Stephen Townsend has shot back against their accusations. “Show me some evidence of that,” he said, referring to U.N. investigator Paulo Pinheiro’s statement that the U.S.-led coalition is responsible for a “staggering loss of civilian life” in Raqqa, Syria. To Amnesty’sclaim that the coalition is linked to “relentless unlawful attacks” on civilians in west Mosul, Iraq, Townsend said, “I would challenge the people from Amnesty International, or anyone else out there who makes these charges, to first research their facts and make sure they’re speaking from a position of authority.”

Arguing about whether or not there was a change in the rules of engagement is not helpful, said Andrea Prasow, deputy Washington director at Human Rights Watch, to Airwars. “The bottom line is more civilians are dying. Whatever the reason, that should concern the U.S. greatly,” she said.

Russia and China to Send 10 Warships to Baltic for Military Drill

Russia and China to Send 10 Warships to Baltic for Military Drill

Russia and China will join forces for a Baltic Sea military drill in late July, rallying around 10 ships for another bout of muscle flexing in the tense region, state news agency Itar-Tass reported Tuesday.

The exercise, Marine Cooperation 2017, the latest in a busy summer of drills, will span the last week of July and will also involve a total of around 10 aircraft from China and Russia.

“The key goal of the exercise is to increase the effectiveness of the two navies’ cooperation in combating security threats at sea, developing the compatibility between crews aboard Russian and Chinese warships, [and] strengthening the friendship and cooperation between Russia and China’s navies,” Russia’s Defense Ministry said in a statement to Tass.

The drill will involve joint anti-air defense, as well as anti-submarine and anti-ship combat. The drill has run annually between Moscow and Beijing’s forces since 2012, though usually takes place in waters closer to the territories of each country.

China’s deployment will arrive in the Baltic on Friday and among its ships taking part are the destroyer Changsha, the frigate Yuncheng and the supply vessel Lomahu. Besides the Baltic, on Russia's west coast, the exercise will involve training activities in two more seas—the Sea of Okhotsk and the Sea of Japan, both to Russia's east.

The drill follows a series of military exercises in what is usually a busy time for militaries in the Baltic anyway, but comes before a planned Russian exercise in September that Lithuania has described as “simulating” warfare with NATO.

That drill, called Zapad, will test the combat readiness of Russia and its ally Belarus’s western troops, though the pair’s Baltic neighbors fear it will comprise a much larger number of troops than initially announced.

Lithuania and its fellow Baltic states, Estonia and Latvia, have expressed a high level of concern about Russian military maneuvers since Moscow’s annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014. Recent polls show fear of war across the Baltics is higher than the fear of extremist attacks.
