Southfront Report October 30

This is from SouthFront, about Syria and Iraq, dated October 30.

Does TPP spell the demise of the internet as we know it?

Only time will tell. This is from CounterPunch.  It is hard to imagine that even Google and some of the big tech companies would be for some of the things in this deal. Perhaps they're not. time will tell, but if we take what is being reported at face value, especially in the article linked to above, it might become difficult to spread information throughout the internet as we can today. Who knows, it might be useless to link to articles, as copyright will be very much in the way. That's if we are still allowed to link to articles at all. On the other hand, the end of the internet has predicted by doomsayers many times before, and somehow, it survives. We'll have to wait and see if it survives this time. The problem is, the people with real power in this world don't like our freedom.

Can this article really be saying what it seems to?

This is from a site called South Front, that does sort of  a run down each day of military developments involving Russia (and others maybe), while also providing some insight into the strategy that might lie behind what information can be uncovered. This line stood out: "Iraqi security sources stated that the US-led coalition’s airstrikes killed 22 army and volunteer servicemen on Tuesday. The coalition warplanes targeted the Iraqi forces’ positions after they advanced the al-Jama and al-Davajen bridges near the city of Ramadi."

This seems to be saying that the US bombed Iraqi positions, not ISIS. That can't be what it is really saying? Can it?

CrossTalk: Syrian Turning Point?

From RT via Russia Insider. Politics certainly is done in the dark, and listen at about 21 minutes in, when the former diplomat talks about the "deep state." Also, Sukant Chandra, who is often good, is very good here. Keep in mind, RT is the station McCain and some of his friends want shut down, or at least kept away from Americans.

I have reasons to believe the "targeted Individual" theory

Every now and then, there will be a story in the news about individuals doing something reckless, dangerous, and out of character for them - with terrible results for them personally, not to mention others (especially others). There was an event in my life that I still haven't come to terms with, and as crazy as it may sound, I can not rule out some of the more far out theories even to explain my own case.

The most recent story is the case of the woman who drove her car into the Oklahoma State sports crowd.    there is no logical explanation for her actions. Every account from people who know her (as is the pattern in other cases) tells us that she would never do such a thing. So why did she do it? Well, there are probable explanations out there.

This is from the Internet Archive, and was uploaded by somebody called, HRC.
