The struggle to find a way to respond has become a source of tension within the administration, according to U.S. officials who said CIA Director John Brennan has voiced frustration with U.S. inaction as fighters trained and armed by the agency at secret camps in Jordan over the past two years face a Russian assault.

Those “moderate” rebel fighters however are essentially arms distributors to Al Nusra and the like…

“Probably 60 to 80 percent of the arms that America shoveled in have gone to al-Qaida and its affiliates,” said Joshua Landis, a Syria expert at the University of Oklahoma.

In the meantime, [spokesman Igor] Konashenkov said the Russian Defense Ministry’s appeals to foreign counterparts for coordinates of IS facilities had remained unanswered.

“Today we ask them: give us the coordinates of ISIL facilities,” he said. “But either silence is the answer or a refusal.”

All the attempts to receive coordinates of the moderate opposition have failed as well, he said.

“As of today, we observe a complete deadlock provoking a conclusion – either the moderate oppositions is a ghost or you just pretend you support it,” he said.

Politico – Yes, the CIA Director Was Part of the JFK Assassination Cover-Up

Wayne Madsen – Jerry Parr, the Secret Service agent who was with Ronald Reagan when he was shot, dies at 85. This editor knew Jerry and he was what we all expect from the Secret Service: professional, sharp, and thoughtful. What the Post and the other papers won’t report is that Parr put his career at risk by countermanding standing orders, issued by Vice President Bush the day before the attempted assassination, that in the event of a shooting of POTUS, he was to be transported immediately to the White House. Parr, by ordering the limo driver to proceed to George Washington University, actually bucked Bush who had been chairing a presidential succession task force in the weeks before Bush family friend John Hinckley tried to assassinate Reagan. Jerry knew all about the evil of the Bush family before many of us caught on. Secretary of State Al Haig took command of the White House because he also knew what Bush was up to. NBC’s John Chancellor was fired as anchorman because he wouldn’t drop his investigation of a Bush tie-in to Hinckley’s actions. Bush was as much behind the attempted assassination of Reagan as LBJ was behind the murder of JFK. You won’t read any of this in the CIA- and Bush-loving Washington Post.

Wayne Madsen Report – October 5-6, 2015 — CIA; Turks created caliphate to launch attacks on Russia and China

Under the directorship of its pro-Saudi director John Brennan, the Central Intelligence Agency envisaged the Islamic State, which controls large portions of Syria and Iraq, as a base of operations from which Chechens and other Russian Muslims would launch attacks on Russia and Muslim Uighurs from western China would launch terrorist attacks on China. WMR has learned of this massive destabilization plan directed against Russia and China from sources in central Asia close to the U.S. intelligence community.

There are entire communities of Chechens and Uighurs now living in cities and towns in Syria and Iraq occupied by the forces of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). These particular groups have been considered off-limits to U.S. and its “coalition’s” attack planners because the CIA and its affiliated George Soros-financed non-governmental organizations, including the Open Society Institute, Radio Free Asia, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, and Human Rights Watch all support the secessionist movements led by jihadist Chechen and Uighur groups who now have a safe haven inside the self-proclaimed ISIL “caliphate.”…

The Uighurs and Chechens form a large bulk of the Nusra Front, which, in addition to the United States and France, has also received military, intelligence, and logistics help from Israel. The Uighurs and Chechens have been at the forefront of executing Syrian Christians and Alawites, the latter called “Nusayri” by the Uighurs, and carrying out the destruction of churches and ancient relics…

…WMR has learned up until the deployment of Chinese military forces to assist their Russian allies in Syria, China’s policy has been to transfer the Uighur problem to distant shores and away from the Xinjiang-Uighur Autonomous Republic in western China. The threat of ISIL-controlled Uighur cities to train terrorists to attack China and its interests in the Middle East, particularly those in the energy sector, convinced China that it was time to act militarily in concert with Russia, Iran, and the Bashar al-Assad government in Damascus.

Senior administration officials say the new offensive holds promise and may change the dynamics on the ground. But it comes a year after an American-led coalition started a campaign against the Islamic State that is now “tactically stalemated,” Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, then chairman of the Joint Chiefs, said last month.

Meanwhile, Israel’s former Foreign Minister, Tzipi Livni, has called for direct cooperation with Iran and Hezbollah in order to protect Israeli interests. Maariv newspaper quoted Livni as saying on Friday, “Netanyahu must understand that the world looks at Iran and Hezbollah as legitimate partners in the confrontation against Daesh.” She warned that Tel Aviv’s geostrategic position will be hurt if the Israeli leadership does not realise what must be done do to influence the shifts in the balance of power in Syria.

A trans-Atlantic pact that potentially allows U.S. spies to get their hands on European citizens’ private data was declared invalid by the EU’s highest court, a ruling that threatens to plunge Internet companies into a legal limbo…

“This judgment is a bombshell,” said Monika Kuschewsky, special counsel at Covington & Burling LLP in Brussels. “The EU’s highest court has pulled the rug under the feet of thousands of companies that have been relying on safe harbor. All these companies are now forced to find an alternative mechanism for their data transfers to the U.S. And, this, basically overnight.”
