   Pushkov: Syrian opposition entirely  dependent on outside support   
      
   Oct 14, 2013 | Moscow, Syrian Arab News   Agency    
      
      
      
   Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Alexei Pushkov   
   said the Syrian opposition is not independent and [is] entirely dependent on   
   external [World Tyrant etc] support.    
      
   "The Syrian opposition is not independent, it is fully dependent on outside   
   support.  The interests and plans of its sponsors [The World Tyrant etc] are   
   behind all its steps," Russia Today website on Monday quoted Pushkov as   
   posting on Twitter.    
      
   "Several countries [The World Tyrant etc] are hoping to disrupt Geneva-2.    
   Hence the refusal by the Syrian National Council, which is part of the   
   opposition [itself a proxy of The World Tyrant], to take part in it.  There   
   will be more attempts [at    
   disruption]," Pushkov stressed.    
      
   Earlier, Istanbul[, Turkey] Council, which is fully mortgaged to the Gulf and   
   regional countries and the Western states [The World Tyrant/NATO], announced   
   that it would not participate in the international conference which aims at   
   finding a political    
   solution to the crisis in Syria.

   The perfect epitaph for establishment journalism    
      
   By Glenn Greenwald    
      
   theguardian.com, Monday 14 October 2013 08.23 EDT    
      
   [Excerpts]    
      
      
   Like many people, I've spent years writing and speaking about the lethal   
   power-subservient pathologies plaguing establishment journalism in the west.    
   But this morning, I feel a bit like all of that was wasted time and energy,   
   because this new column by    
   career British journalist Chris Blackhurst --an executive with and, until a   
   few months ago, the editor of the UK daily calling itself "The Independent" -   
   contains a *headline* that says everything that needs to be said about the   
   sickly state of    
   establishment journalism:    
      
   Edward Snowden's secrets may be dangerous.  I would not have published them.    
      
   In other words, if the government tells me I shouldn't publish something, who   
   am I as a journalist to disobey?  Put that on the tombstone of western   
   establishment journalism.  It perfectly encapsulates the death spiral of large   
   journalistic outlets.    
      
   Lest you think that the headline does not fairly represent the content of the   
   column, Blackhurst, in explaining why he would never have allowed his   
   newspaper to publish any of the documents from NSA whistleblower Edward   
   Snowden, actually wrote:    
      
   "If the security services insist something is contrary to the public interest,   
   and might harm their operations, who am I (despite my grounding from Watergate   
   onwards) to disbelieve them?"   
      
   That this mentality condemns --and would render outlawed-- most of the   
   worthwhile investigative journalism over the last several decades never seems   
   to occur to good journalistic servants like Blackhurst.    
      
   National security state officials also decreed that it would "not be in the   
   public interest" to report    
      
   on the Pentagon Papers, or    
      
   the My Lai massacre, or    
      
   the network of CIA black sites in which detainees were tortured, or    
      
   the NSA warrantless eavesdropping program, or    
      
   the documents negating claims of Iraqi WMDs, or    
      
   a whole litany of waste, corruption and illegality that once bore the "top   
   secret" label.    
      
   Indeed, one of the best reporters in the UK, Duncan Campbell, works for   
   Blackhurst's newspaper, and he was arrested and prosecuted by the UK   
   government in the 1970s for the "crime" of disclosing the existence of the   
   GCHQ.    
      
   The NSA reporting enabled by Snowden's whistleblowing has triggered a   
   worldwide debate over internet freedom and privacy, reform movements in   
   numerous national legislatures, multiple whistleblowing prizes for Snowden,   
   and the first-ever recognition of    
   just how pervasive and invasive is the system of *suspicionless surveillance*   
   being built by the US [The World Tyrant] and the [Poodle] UK.    
      
   It does not surprise me that authoritarian factions, including (especially)   
   establishment journalists, prefer that none of this reporting and debate   
   happened and that we all instead remained blissfully ignorant about it.    
      
   But it does still surprise me when people calling themselves "journalists"   
   openly admit to thinking this way.  But when they do so, they do us a service,   
   as it lays so vividly bare just how wide the gap is between the claimed   
   function of establishment    
   journalists and the actual role they fulfill.

   Supreme Leader's Hajj Message    
      
   11/10/2013 | khamenei.ir/english    
      
      
   [ Please note the somewhat changed tone of this statement. ]    
      
      
   Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, delivered a   
   message to this year's hajj pilgrims. The following [are *excerpts* from   
   the]...full text of this message issued on October 11, 2013.    
      
      
      
   The opposing camp which cannot tolerate Islamic Awakening and the dignity of   
   Muslims has entered the arena with all its power and it is using all kinds of   
   psychological, military, security, economic and propaganda tools to suppress   
   Muslims, make them    
   inactive and busy them with trivial things.    
      
       
   Taking a general look at the conditions of West Asian countries such as   
   Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Palestine and countries surrounding the   
   Persian Gulf, and North African countries such as Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, Sudan   
   and a number of other    
   countries --reveals many truths.    
      
      
   The existence of civil wars, religious and denominational prejudices and   
   political instabilities, the prevalence of cruel terrorism, the emergence of   
   extreme groups and orientations --which like savage tribes in history, cut   
   open the chests of human    
   beings and rip their hearts out with their teeth-- the emergence of armed   
   mercenaries who kill women and children, cut off the heads of men and rape   
   women and who do such horrible and disgusting crimes in the name of religion   
   are all the products of the    
   satanic and arrogant plots of foreign [World Tyrant/NATO] intelligence   
   services and their regional agents.    
      
      
   Such plots are implemented in countries in which the ground is prepared   
   before-hand and as a result, they create a disastrous situation for these   
   nations and peoples.  In such conditions, it is clear that one cannot expect   
   Muslim nations to remedy their    
   material and spiritual shortcomings and to achieve security, welfare,   
   scientific progress and international dignity which are the results of   
   achieving awakening and finding one's true identity.
