Thousands of militants with heavy weaponry and armored vehicles have gathered in the Syrian province of Idlib preparing for an offensive on government-controlled areas in Hama and Aleppo, the head of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of the Opposing Sides in Syria, Maj. Gen. Alexei Tsygankov, told media on August 25.
Maj. Gen. Tsygankov recalled that over 70% of the territory of Idlib is controlled by militant groups. The biggest and the most influential of them is Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (formerly Jabhat al-Nusra, the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda).
“Last week, the leader of this terrorist organization, Abu Mohammad al-Julani, urged all Idlib gangs to launch a jihad against the secular Syrian state. The number of proponents of political dialogue, detained and kept in prisons, has topped 500 people. Several thousands of militants with heavy weaponry and armored vehicles have gathered for an offense on Hama and Aleppo,” he said.
Earlier Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov announced that militants, backed up by British intelligence, are preparing to stage a chemical attack in the province of Idlib in order to create justification for new US-led strikes on government facilities in the war-torn country.
The US is already preparing for this scenario. According to Konashenkov, the US Navy’s destroyer Sullivans with 56 cruise missiles on board arrived in the Persian Gulf several days ago and a B-1B strategic bomber of the US Air Force armed with AGM-158 JASSM air-to-surface missiles was deployed to the Al Udeid air base in Qatar.

The US-led coalition’s strategy to keep an ISIS safe haven in Syria’s Euhprates Valley in order to justify its military presence in the war-torn country has appeared to have some “unexpected” consequences. ISIS units operating in the Hajin pocket have re-groupped, received fresh supples and kicked off a large-scale advance on positions of the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). A lack of US-led coalition airstrikes on ISIS targets in the area has also played own role. Since the last weekend, ISIS terrorists have re-entered the villages of Susah, Hawi Susah, Mozan, Shajlah and Baghuz Foqani almost reaching the border with Iraq. According to various sources, the SDF has lost up to 80 fighters and over 10 pieces of military equipment in these clashes. The SDF media wing denies these claims alleging that only about 14 of its members were killed and no positions were lost. However, photos released by ISIS’ Amaq news agency show that the SDF’s version of the events does not i

Contele Cagliostro

Imagine
A găsit contele de Cagliostro elixirul vieţii? A fost el atât de periculos, încât a fost închis într-o temniță a Inchiziției? Foto:   wikipedia.org  (Commons Creative – free) + prelucrare proprie Personaj istoric pitoresc, imortalizat de Alexandre Dumas, a fost oare Giuseppe Balsamo, zis Alexandre, conte de Cagliostro, un șarlatan al cărui „elixir de viață lungă“, care trecea drept panaceu universal, era de fapt numai un placebo? A fost un spion – și atunci în solda cui? A Angliei? Să fi fost târât, fără voia sa, în scandalul colierului reginei, care a adus daune atât de mari reputației reginei Mariei Antoaneta? Era chiar atât de periculos, încât să fi meritat să-și sfârșească zilele într-o temniță a Inchiziției? Se știe că Balsamo avea o cultură hermetică, era clarvăzător și inițiat francmason. A fondat loji masonice, îndeosebi „Loja înțelepciunii”, inventând ritualul masoneriei egiptene căreia i se proclamă mare copt, iar soția lui – lojile feminine, foarte râvnite de feme
