Today certainly is slower than most days. I assume that is because it is a Jewish holy-day and they are forbidden to do many things.
Oh well the world continues to spin without them.
Tillerson should just cancel the trip considering he will leave empty handed as far as his 'demands' go and he will have the news that Syria is now a no-fly zone for the US and her minions.
US Demands Russia End Support for Syria

Feature NYT, WaPo, WSJ, and other major media reports struck a common theme on the eve of Secretary of State Tillerson’s trip to Moscow.
NYT: “Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson is taking a hard line against Russia on the eve of his first diplomatic trip to Moscow, calling the country ‘incompetent’ for allowing Syria to hold on to chemical weapons and accusing Russia of trying to influence elections in Europe using the same methods it employed in the United States.”
WaPo: “Officials in the Trump administration on Sunday demanded that Russia stop supporting the Syrian government or face a further deterioration in its relations with the United States.”
WSJ: “Top US officials dialed up their criticism of Moscow and blasted Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad Sunday, heightening tensions in advance of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s visit to Russia this week.”
AP News: “G7 Ministers Aim to Press Russia to End Assad Support”
Chicago Tribune: “Trump officials tell Russia to drop its support for Syria’s Assad”
London Guardian: “Trump officials broadcast president’s plan for Syria: wait for global response.”
Al Jazeera: “No solution to war with Assad in power”
Reuters: “US air strike gives Tillerson a boost for Moscow talks”
AFP: “US steps up pressure on Syria ahead of Russia talks”
Ahead of Tillerson’s April 11 and 12 Moscow trip, the common theme is what Russia won’t accept - ending support for Syria, halting anti-terrorism operations, supporting US regime change demands.
Tillerson: “I hope Russia is thinking carefully about its continued alliance with Bashar al-Assad, because every time one of these horrific attacks occurs, it draws Russia closer into some level of responsibility.”
McMaster: “I think what we should do is ask Russia, how could it be, if you have advisers at that airfield, that you didn’t know that the Syrian air force was preparing and executing a mass murder attack with chemical weapons?”
Haley: “In no way do we see peace in that area with Russia covering up for Assad. And in no way do we see peace in that area with Assad at the head of the Syrian government.”
Russia rejects tough talk. Bilateral relations require respecting its interests. Washington consistently refuses.
America’s position toward Russia is more hostile than any time in modern memory, Tillerson unlikely to achieve anything substantive on his visit.
Assad was falsely blamed for the April 4 Khan Sheikhoun CW attack he had nothing to do with - a likely CIA-instigated false flag, using terrorists to do its dirty work.
Trump’s response was naked aggression, planned in advance of the incident, likely prelude for more to come, risking direct confrontation with Russia.
Neocons in charge of Trump’s military posture dashed hopes for better bilateral relations. Attacking Syria without just cause ruined them. So does making unacceptable demands.
Interviewed on RT, Russian Deputy Defense Minister Aleksandr Fomin said “revolutions are exported to different states” on the phony pretext of democracy building.
“Because of this policy, some states ceased to exist. Others are on the verge of disappearing. Look at Syria now and Yemen. (W)ho’s next?”
Terrorist groups serve the interests of countries responsible for creating and supporting them, he explained, without naming obvious nation-state names.
These groups represent an “existential threat to the global community, to every state and every individual.”
World peace, stability and security depend on eliminating this scourge. One nation can’t do it alone. International cooperation is needed - what’s absence given Washington’s ruthless imperial agenda, using these groups for its own geopolitical aims. - See more at:

US Demands Russia End Support for Syria
Trump Is Losing His Support Base After Attacking the Syrian Government
(ANTIMEDIA) Although it is widely
speculated that one of Trump’s aims in striking Syria was to garner further domestic public support for a political career off to a
horrendous start, the result may, in fact, cost him a significant portion of his original support base. While Democrats and the media have
rushed to praise — or at least failed to condemn — the president’s decision to launch yet another illegal strike on a sovereign nation, many of his original supporters have begun to express their dissatisfaction with the American president.
A good example of this can be seen with one of Trump’s
stalwart allies, United Kingdom Independent Party (UKIP) leader Nigel Farage. He has
sharply criticized Trump for his decision to bomb Syria.
“I think a lot of Trump voters will be waking up this morning and scratching their heads and saying ‘where will it all end?’” Farage stated, before adding,
“As a firm Trump supporter, I say, yes, the pictures were horrible, but I’m surprised. Whatever Assad’s sins, he is secular.”
According to the
Telegraph, Farage is
only one of many far-right Trump supporters who has expressed their distaste for Trump’s decision to strike the Assad government. The others include
Milo Yiannopolous,
Katie Hopkins, right-wing vlogger Paul Joseph Watson,
Ann Coulter, and
others from within the UKIP circle.
Paul Joseph Watson, a highly popular Youtube commentator who also works as an editor for Alex Jones’
Infowars, shared a tweet
stating the following:
“If [Donald Trump] started a war with Russia and Syria because of an emotional reaction, then he’s not fit to have the nuclear codes.”
“Hard to argue with this,” Watson captioned the retweet.
“Guys, I can’t vehemently oppose destabilizing the Syrian government for 6 years and then support it just because Trump did it,” he also
stated.
Most importantly, Watson
said,
“I guess Trump wasn’t ‘Putin’s puppet’ after all, he was just another deep state/Neo-Con puppet. I’m officially OFF the Trump train.”
Yiannopolous
called the decision to strike Syria “FAKE” and “GAY.” Coulter ironically stated:
“
Trump campaigned on not getting involved in Mideast. Said it always helps our enemies & creates more refugees. Then he saw a picture on TV.” [emphasis added].
These pro-Trump pundits are not alone in their criticism of Trump’s military strike. As one Twitter user
stated in response to Trump’s recent assertion that the U.S. should stay out of Syria:
“What I am saying is the same thing, and pretty much everyone else who voted you in.” [emphasis added].
Most likely a fake resistance considering the airstrike shows he is just as insane as the rest of the nazis running Amerika.
Trump Pushes Back Against Neo-Con Plan to Invade Syria |
The Trump administration is currently locked in a heated debate over whether to launch a full ground invasion of Syria, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers now massing.
According to White House sources who spoke to Infowars, Trump is reticent to see U.S. troops embroiled in yet another Middle East quagmire, but is under pressure from top neo-cons in his administration to prevent Russia from dominating the region as the fall of ISIS nears.
Trump has refused to agree to a no fly zone over Syria and does not want to directly attack Assad’s forces in Damascus. However, Assad is apparently backing away from a deal he made with the Pentagon four years ago to step down from power in order to prevent a U.S. military bombardment that Obama pushed for back in 2013.
The air strike ordered by Trump was apparently a reminder to Assad of the deal he struck to step down once jihadists had been defeated.
Troop numbers are now being massively escalated in western Iraq to reinforce this message, including the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit, to back up and cover the flank for U.S. Army ground forces in case of possible attack by Assad.
Trump’s response to the alleged chemical weapons attack allowed him to look decisive and was a show of strength towards China and North Korea. It also served to temporarily silence the repeated accusations that he is in collusion with Russia.
Trump’s aim with the air strike was to destroy Syria’s remaining chemical weapons to make Assad follow through on the deal. If he didn’t act, Trump would have been eviscerated by his critics as being equally as weak as Obama.
However, increasingly prominent neo-cons within the administration, led by National Security Adviser H. R. McMaster, are exploiting the circumstances to maneuver Trump into a position where he is pressured into green lighting a full scale ground war, an attack on Damascus and a confrontation with Russia.
If Trump allows himself to be manipulated in this way, it will undoubtedly destroy his presidency and leave him with a legacy on a par with George W. Bush.
As Mike Cernovich’s
sources confirm, “McMaster is manipulating intelligence reports given to President Donald Trump” and is “plotting how to sell a massive ground war in Syria to President Trump with the help of disgraced former CIA director and convicted criminal David Petraeus.”
Trump sees resolving the Syrian civil war as imperative because Syria is a gateway into Turkey, whose Islamist government is exploiting the chaos to exacerbate the refugee crisis and force Europe into capitulation to Muslim colonization.
However, if neo-cons are able to assert their power and silence nationalist voices within the Trump administration like Steve Bannon, who opposes regime change in Syria, the consequences of toppling Assad will be completely disastrous for both Trump and the entire region.
