The incident involving the Su-24M and an F-16 fighter of the Turkish Air Force took place in the area of the Syrian-Turkish border on November 24

MOSCOW, December 17. /TASS/. Experts have begun to decode the black boxes of the Russian Su-24M bomber that was brought down by the Turkish Air Force in the skies over Syria last month, the Defence Ministry said at its official website.

"Representatives of the Defense Ministry will address a news briefing at 10:00 hours on December 18 at the CIS Interstate Aviation Committee (22/2 Bolshaya Ordynka Str., Moscow) in connection with the start of retrieval and decoding of data from the onboard flight control instruments of the Su-24M bomber brought down over Syria on November 24, 2015 by a Turkish fighter jet," the report said.

The incident involving the Su-24M and an F-16 fighter of the Turkish Air Force took place in the area of the Syrian-Turkish border on November 24. The Turkish authorities claim the Russian warplane had broken into the Turkish airspace.

The Russian Defense Ministry said there was no breech of the Turkish aerospace. President Putin warned the Turkish side the attack on the bomber would bring on serious consequences for bilateral relations.

Extremists Steal Large Quantities of Deadly Chemical Weapons in Libya

_http://sputniknews.com/africa/20151218/1031939999/libya-extremists-chemical-weapons.html

Extremists in Libya have stolen large amounts of sarin gas, which is considered a weapon of mass destruction by the UN; they found the nerve gas stored in warehouses in southern Libya and have smuggled it to northern cities, including Tripoli, a close aide and cousin of the late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi said in an interview.

"Huge amounts" of sarin are being moved from desert areas in the south to the north of the country and to the suburbs of the Libyan capital, Tripoli, Ahmed Gaddaf al-Dam said in an interview with the London-based Arabic international newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat on Thursday.

He added that the outlawed gas was first used in the country in 2014, yet some Western countries "turned a blind eye".
Sarin gas, also called GB, is one of the most dangerous and toxic chemical weapons known. It was invented in Germany in 1938 during attempts to develop pesticides; however, following its discovery, the Nazis weaponized it. It belongs to a class of chemical weapons known as nerve agents. Although the Nazis had plans for the construction of a facility to produce sarin for wartime use, it was never completed.
Pure sarin is a colorless and odorless gas, is extremely volatile, and can spread quickly through the air. A lethal dose of sarin is about 0.5 milligrams; it is approximately 500 times more deadly than cyanide.

Merry Christmas Europe?

Indeed.

Amidst all the recent "good" news, all it takes is one horrific false flag to turn the world upside-down. This thing ain't over.

FWIW.

 

[sitting]

In the present rapidly changing environment, good to remember other timeline junctures (splits) are looming ahead. So perhaps our intentions, thoughts & efforts ought to focus with that in mind. Holding onto it like "mental glue." And moving it in a better direction. C's seem to say it's working.

FWIW.

Oh dear, this is not good! It is just like the Moriarty's were saying in last week's Behind the Headlines radio show- Libya is the staging ground for every alphabet Jihadi extremist terrorist group. Complaceny from Europe is not going to bode well - this is going to bite Europe in the butt again. Merry Christmas indeed.

yeah, especially since they had to "back down" in Syria after the Putin-Lavrov-Kerry talks; im sure they are other false flags and attacks planned...multiple scenarios they can muster and execute now, just not sure which one is coming down the line..sigh!

That's what I'm thinking as well. Probably those new developments have something to do with the meeting the Moriarty's have spoken about on the radio show, from leaders of various terror groups (including IS) in a city in Libya. So why did US and Co. not bomb them, even though the Moriarty's told them the exact location of that meeting?

Yeah well...

Deployment fail: US special ops forces arrive in Libya, immediately told to leave
https://www.rt.com/usa/326377-usa-special-operations-forces-libya/

Libya’s air force said in a Facebook post that 20 US commandoes arrived at Wattiya airbase and disembarked “in combat readiness,” only to be told to leave. Pentagon sources confirmed the US had sent a special forces unit to Libya as part of a mission.
(Note: that "Mission" - would it involve Sarin Gas?)


The Libyan Air Force said the 20 soldiers arrived at the airbase on Monday, but left soon after local commanders asked them to go because they had no right to be at the base “without prior coordination with protection force base.”

The Libyan air force published a Facebook post on Wednesday which included photographs of the special forces unit. It noted the 20 soldiers had disembarked “in combat readiness wearing bullet proof jackets, advanced weapons, silencers, handguns, night vision devices and GPS devices.”


Secret US Commandos Forced to Leave Libya After Facebook Post
http://sputniknews.com/africa/20151218/1031962201/us-commandos-libya-exposed.html

A group of US commandos, whose secret mission to Libya was revealed after several pictures of them were posted on the Libyan Air Forces Facebook page, were forced to leave the country.

“A group of US commandos who landed in Libya on Monday were ordered to leave almost immediately because of a possible mix-up between the Libyan air force and army,” the US media quotes US and Libyan officials as saying on Thursday.

The decision came after four pictures of about 20 US Special Operations Forces servicemen, arriving at Libya’s Wattiya airbase, have been posted on the Facebook page of the Libyan Air Forces.

The post said the servicemen "disembarked in combat readiness wearing bullet proof jackets, advanced weaponry, silencers, handguns, night vision devices and GPS devices."

The local commanders however asked them to go because the servicemen landed “without prior coordination” and had no permission to be at the base.

Flight trackers apparently show that the unit was flown back to Pantelleria airport, Sicily.

It appears there was a breakdown in communication between Libyan Air Force and the Libyan army.

When questioned by Libyan soldiers, the Americans said they were "in coordination with other members of the Libyan army," the Libyan Air Force said.

A Pentagon statement confirmed US forces were at the base.

“With the concurrence of Libyan officials, US military personnel traveled to Libya on 14 December to engage in a dialogue with ‎representatives of the Libyan National Army. While in Libya, members of a local militia demanded that the US personnel depart. In an effort to avoid conflict, they did leave, without incident,” the US media quotes a spokeswoman as saying in a statement.

 

[Nević Nenad]

That's some sort of scam, or distraction. Those people on the pictures are not any regular army and at least half of them doesn't look like they have anything with the any kind of army. I think they are not even mercenaries, there are only couple of the 'real killer faces' and they are trying to stay hidden. (you must see one in real to know how they look, and all of them are looking the same) The rest could be some sporting club, maybe soldiers, but in some technical service (like mechanics) nothing with guns. Although even them could slaughter unarmed women and children . . .

To put it simply, if those are American "special forces" the world should be ashamed for let it being occupied and tortured by "soldiers" like those.

Su-24 flight recorder confirms Russian aircraft did not violate Turkish airspace
http://www.pravdareport.com/news/russia/18-12-2015/132895-su_24_flight_recorder-0/

The Russian Defense Ministry held an open briefing devoted to the results of the decoding of flight recorders of the Su-24 bomber aircraft that was shot down by Turkish Air Force. As it was said at the briefing, Russia has all evidence to prove that the warplane of the Russian Air Force did not violate Turkish airspace.

"We have all the necessary evidence to confirm the absence of facts to establish violations of Turkey's airspace by the Russian aircraft,"Sergei Dronov, Deputy Commander of the Russian Air Force said, RIA Novosti reports. He added that the Russian bomber was carrying out its mission in the mountainous area of Syria and did not pose any danger to Turkey and its citizens.

The analysis of the data of flight recorders of the downed Russian Su-24 will be conducted openly. The use of special equipment allows to conclude that the decoding of the data was conducted as usual. None of the countries that have been following the investigation of the incident with the downing of the Russian military aircraft has denied the information voiced by officials of the Russian Air Force, Defense Ministry and the President of Russia. "No one, but Turkey, has refuted the data of objective monitoring of air conditions in the specified area of ​​Syria," said Sergey Dronov, Deputy Commander of the Russian Federation Air Force.

First data of the decoding of the Su-24 flight recorders will be exposed on Monday, December 21 at the session of the Interstate Aviation Committee.



Russia’s upper parliament house freezes contacts with Turkish parliament — MP
http://tass.ru/en/politics/845355

Konstantin Kosachev says there is no point in unfreezing such contacts as long as the Turkish lawmakers are "unthinkingly and dogmatically upholding the position taken by the Turkish president"

MOSCOW, December 18. /TASS/. Russia’s Federation Council upper parliament house has frozen contacts with the Turkish parliament following the incident with Turkey’s downing a Russian warplane in Syria, Konstantin Kosachev, the chairman of the Federation Council’s international committee, said on Friday.

"Our contacts with colleagues in the Turkish parliament, which have been very active until now, has been frozen," he told journalists.

He said the upper house had taken this decision and "sees no point in unfreezing such contacts as long as the Turkish lawmakers are unthinkingly and dogmatically upholding the position taken by the Turkish president." "There is no sense in dialogue in such case," he saud.

Kosachev confirmed that Russian lawmakers had "no contacts" with their Turkish counterparts.

Moreover, Kosachev said he did not even knew his new counterpart, who had taken charge of the Turkish parliament’s international committee after the parliamentary elections in Turkey. "I knew the previous chairman, but I refused to speak with him when he made attempts to contact me," he said.



ISIS Axis Assemble! Turkey To Establish Military Base In Qatar
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-12-18/isis-axis-assemble-turkey-establish-military-base-qatar

As Hezbollah advances on Aleppo under cover of Russian airstrikes, the anti-Iran/anti-Assad nexus is getting concerned. Recall that in October, Qatar hinted at direct military action in Syria when Foreign Minister Khalid al-Attiyah told CNN that "if a military intervention will protect the Syrian people from the brutality of the regime, we will do it [along with] our Saudi and Turkish brothers.”

Well don’t look now, but Turkey is set to establish a military base in Qatar in order to help the countries “confront common enemies.” As Reuters reports, “establishment of the base, part of an agreement signed in 2014 and ratified by Turkey's parliament in June, intensifies the partnership with Qatar at a time of rising instability and a perceived waning of U.S. interest in the region.”

“The two countries have provided support for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, backed rebels fighting to overthrow Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and raised the alarm about creeping Iranian influence in the region,” Reuters goes on to note, adding that “3,000 ground troops would be stationed at the base - Turkey's first overseas military installation in the Middle East - as well as air and naval units, military trainers and special operations forces.”

The deal also opens the door for Doha to establish its own base in Turkey in the future. "Turkey and Qatar face common problems and we are both very concerned about developments in the region and uncertain policies of other countries," Turkey's ambassador to Qatar Ahmet Demirok said. "We confront common enemies. At this critical time for the Middle East cooperation between us is vital."

Yes, "more cooperation" is "crtical." Because the current level of cooperation apprently hasn't created enough instability and outright carnage.

Bear in mind that this comes just as speculation is running high regarding the possibility that the US, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey may soon look to send in tens of thousands of ground troops to Iraq (and possibly Syria). The takeaway is this: even as Germany (and next France) seem to be moving towards a more cooperative approach when it comes to coordinating with the Assad government in the war on terror, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey's resolve to see the Syrian government fall has only hardened. The question is whether the US will continue to back its allies in the region or follow Germany down a more conciliatory path when it comes to dealing with the Syrian "problem."
