Concentration camp in Ukraine
In several regions of Ukraine (Donetsk region) built camps allegedly for illegal immigrants. But the question is - who will go for searching work in bankrupt country, impoverished and plundered if Ukrainians themselves go to work in Russia? Customer building a fascist junta. Being sponsored by the European Union. Completion date July 2014. So for whom this concentration camp built? Answer arises by itself - for those who junta considers terrorists and separatists, namely those who refuse to obey fascists of Kiev. Build - Turkey.

Terror Storm on Syria up to Geneva Meeting.
By Christof Lehmann – nsnbc.
A terrorist attack was also carried out against the Syrian Satellite TV channel Al Ikhbaryia, causing considerable damage and murdering three staff. Syrian Information Minister Omran Al-Zoubi stated that the terrorists committed “the worst massacre against journalism and the freedom of media when they executed the Syrian media workers in cold blood”.
– NATO prepares use of Article Five. Yesterday, after the meeting of the NATO Council, called by Turkey under the Washington Treaty´s Article 4, the government of R. Tayyip Erdogan called Syria “a direct and imminent threat”. After NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen reiterated that “it must be clear that an attack on one NATO member is an attack on all members of the alliance”, the Turkish statement that Syria is a direct and imminent threat must be understood as a precursor for the invocation of Article Five. Article Five of the Washington Treaty would call on all NATO members to “defend Turkey against Syria”.(1)
NATO´s and Turkeys problem now seems to be how to provoke an incident without making the fact that it is planning to move their war on Syria from a covert to an overt military aggression, without making the fact that NATO is the aggressor all too obvious for populations in NATO countries, and before international diplomats.
The Rubicon will most likely be crossed in stages. The initial stage will most likely be the provocation of further cross border incidents to manufacture a pretext for the establishment of what will be called “safe zones” along the Turkey-Syria border.
Insurgents, backed by NATO Special Forces, have in previous incidents carried out attacks in Syria, escaped across the border, and continued to engage Syrian military forces in an attempt to provoke “incidents” which could be interpreted as Syrian aggression against Turkey.
Yesterday this strategy was reinforced by the deployment of several tanks and long-range artillery units along the turkish-syrian border. Without it being necessary to analyze often unpredictable detailed developments one thing should be clear. An incident is being provoked, which will be used as a pretext for establishing “safe zones” from which insurgents shall operate under supervision of NATO Special Forces.
Yesterday Damascus experienced heavy clashes between Syrian military and insurgents. The clashes gave the impression of having been a coordinated assault, targeting key government and media installations. Fighting took place in Damascus suburbs as well as in Idleb. According to some sources attacks have been attempted on one of the presidential facilities in Damascus, engaging Syrian special forces.
Under normal conditions the insurgents would not be a match for the Syrian military forces. The fact that the insurgents are operating in civilian areas, that they often prevent civilians from evacuating the combat zone, that civilians are systematically used as human shields, and the facts that the military adheres to international law and minimized civilian casualties and the destruction of private property, severely hampers it´s effectiveness.
In spite of the adverse and difficult engagement conditions, the military succeeded in inflicting heavy casualties on the insurgents. Both SANA and Syriaonline report that tens of insurgents have been killed, a large number was arrested, and arms have been ceased. (2)
A terrorist attack was also carried out against the Syrian Satellite TV channel Al Ikhbaryia, causing considerable damage and murdering three staff. Syrian Information Minister Omran Al-Zoubi stated that the terrorists committed “the worst massacre against journalism and the freedom of media when they executed the Syrian media workers in cold blood”.
The attack on Al-Ikhbaryia TV is following previous attempts to silence Syrian media. Earlier this month the Arabsat and Nilesat media companies ceased carrying Syrian TV and Radio signals. The initiative to silence Syrian media was, contrary to it´s charter, it´s mandate, and it´s obligation to work for Arab Unity and Independence, taken by the Arab League.(3) The decision of Arabsat and Nilesat to follow the advise of the Arab League is a violation of international law. Needless to mention that it is a violation of media ethics too, but when was the last time that NATO/GCC co-opted media have adhered to ethical guidelines in the coverage of the war on Syria.
Syrian Information Minister Al-Zoubi added: “Those who committed this crime have carried out the decision of the Arab League Council to silence the voice of Syria”. According to Al-Zoubi, the terrorists broke into the headquarters of Al-Ikhbaryia, executing the journalists and civil guards, and telephone operators, after which they exploded the studios and luted some of the technical equipment. Al Zoubu stated that the EU´s decision to impose further sanctions on Syrian TV and Radio has been crowned by todays attack. (4)
The Ambassador of China to Syria in Damascus, Zhang Xun called again for respecting Syrian sovereignty and the safety of it´s territories. He reiterated China’s support to the plan of the UN Envoy to Syria, Kofi Annan, stressing the need for halting violence and launching the political process. Xun said that the international community should exert more efforts to solve the crisis in Syria politically. (5)
Russian President Vladimir Putin is touring the Middle East. So far the news that have transpired have given little away about eventual progress with respect to solving the Syrian crisis. It is however unthinkable, that Putin has not voiced gravest concerns about the possible implications of the war on Syria in Israel, or to King Hussein II in Jordan.
Yesterday the spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Alexander Lukashevich, said that Russia believes that it is important not to consider the incident about the Syrian downing of a Turkish F4 which violated Syrian territory as a Syrian provocation. Lukashevich voiced his concerns about that the incident will be used to destabilize the situation further.
He said the diplomatic and political escalation is dangerous, especially at a time when efforts are being made to rally all main foreign players to transition the situation in Syria to a political course based on all sides implementing the Security Council-sanctioned plan of International Envoy to Syria Kofi Annan.
“We call all sides again – whether in the region or outside it – to work exclusively for the inerest of this agenda, and not take steps beyond its framework,” Lukashevich said, adding that he believes that the best thing to do in this situation is exercising self-restraint and having the Syrian and Turkish side work together constructively to uncover all the details of this incident and prevent the repetition of such tragic events in the future.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Bogdanov warned about the possibility that the conflict may spread beyond the borders of Syria.
Russia´s permanent representative to the UN, Vitaly Churkin stated that Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov will participate in an international conference on Syria that will be held in Geneva on 30 June.(6)
With a terrorstom unleashed in Syria, NATO attempts to create a pretext for a war on Syria under Article Five of the Washington Treaty, with the threat of the breakout of a regional war with global consequences, the meeting in Geneva in three days seem like one of the last possible chances to prevent disaster.

C.I.A. Said to Aid in Steering Arms to Syrian Opposition
By ERIC SCHMITT
Published: June 21, 2012
WASHINGTON — A small number of C.I.A. officers are operating secretly in southern Turkey, helping allies decide which Syrian opposition fighters across the border will receive arms to fight the Syrian government, according to American officials and Arab intelligence officers.
The weapons, including automatic rifles, rocket-propelled grenades, ammunition and some antitank weapons, are being funneled mostly across the Turkish border by way of a shadowy network of intermediaries including Syria’s Muslim Brotherhood and paid for by Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, the officials said.
The C.I.A. officers have been in southern Turkey for several weeks, in part to help keep weapons out of the hands of fighters allied with Al Qaeda or other terrorist groups, one senior American official said. The Obama administration has said it is not providing arms to the rebels, but it has also acknowledged that Syria’s neighbors would do so.
The clandestine intelligence-gathering effort is the most detailed known instance of the limited American support for the military campaign against the Syrian government. It is also part of Washington’s attempt to increase the pressure on President Bashar al-Assad of Syria, who has recently escalated his government’s deadly crackdown on civilians and the militias battling his rule. With Russia blocking more aggressive steps against the Assad government, the United States and its allies have instead turned to diplomacy and aiding allied efforts to arm the rebels to force Mr. Assad from power.
By helping to vet rebel groups, American intelligence operatives in Turkey hope to learn more about a growing, changing opposition network inside of Syria and to establish new ties. “C.I.A. officers are there and they are trying to make new sources and recruit people,” said one Arab intelligence official who is briefed regularly by American counterparts.
American officials and retired C.I.A. officials said the administration was also weighing additional assistance to rebels, like providing satellite imagery and other detailed intelligence on Syrian troop locations and movements. The administration is also considering whether to help the opposition set up a rudimentary intelligence service. But no decisions have been made on those measures or even more aggressive steps, like sending C.I.A. officers into Syria itself, they said.
The struggle inside Syria has the potential to intensify significantly in coming months as powerful new weapons are flowing to both the Syrian government and opposition fighters. President Obama and his top aides are seeking to pressure Russia to curb arms shipments like attack helicopters to Syria, its main ally in the Middle East.
“We’d like to see arms sales to the Assad regime come to an end, because we believe they’ve demonstrated that they will only use their military against their own civilian population,” Benjamin J. Rhodes, deputy national security adviser for strategic communications, said after Mr. Obama and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir V. Putin, met in Mexico on Monday.
Spokesmen for the White House, State Department and C.I.A. would not comment on any intelligence operations supporting the Syrian rebels, some details of which were reported last week by The Wall Street Journal.
Until now, the public face of the administration’s Syria policy has largely been diplomacy and humanitarian aid.
The State Department said Wednesday that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton would meet with her Russian counterpart, Sergey V. Lavrov, on the sidelines of a meeting of Asia-Pacific foreign ministers in St. Petersburg, Russia, next Thursday. The private talks are likely to focus, at least in part, on the crisis in Syria.
The State Department has authorized $15 million in nonlethal aid, like medical supplies and communications equipment, to civilian opposition groups in Syria.
The Pentagon continues to fine-tune a range of military options, after a request from Mr. Obama in early March for such contingency planning. Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told senators at that time that the options under review included humanitarian airlifts, aerial surveillance of the Syrian military, and the establishment of a no-fly zone.
The military has also drawn up plans for how coalition troops would secure Syria’s sizable stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons if an all-out civil war threatened their security.
But senior administration officials have underscored in recent days that they are not actively considering military options. “Anything at this point vis-à-vis Syria would be hypothetical in the extreme,” General Dempsey told reporters this month.
What has changed since March is an influx of weapons and ammunition to the rebels. The increasingly fierce air and artillery assaults by the government are intended to counter improved coordination, tactics and weaponry among the opposition forces, according to members of the Syrian National Council and other activists.
Last month, these activists said, Turkish Army vehicles delivered antitank weaponry to the border, where it was then smuggled into Syria. Turkey has repeatedly denied it was extending anything other than humanitarian aid to the opposition, mostly via refugee camps near the border. The United States, these activists said, was consulted about these weapons transfers.
American military analysts offered mixed opinions on whether these arms have offset the advantages held by the militarily superior Syrian Army. “The rebels are starting to crack the code on how to take out tanks,” said Joseph Holliday, a former United States Army intelligence officer in Afghanistan who is now a researcher tracking the Free Syrian Army for the Institute for the Study of War in Washington.
But a senior American officer who receives classified intelligence reports from the region, compared the rebels’ arms to “peashooters” against the government’s heavy weaponry and attack helicopters.
The Syrian National Council, the main opposition group in exile, has recently begun trying to organize the scattered, localized units that all fight under the name of the Free Syrian Army into a more cohesive force.
About 10 military coordinating councils in provinces across the country are now sharing tactics and other information. The city of Homs is the notable exception. It lacks such a council because the three main military groups in the city do not get along, national council officials said.
Jeffrey White, a defense analyst at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy who tracks videos and announcements from self-described rebel battalions, said there were now about 100 rebel formations, up from roughly 70 two months ago, ranging in size from a handful of fighters to a couple of hundred combatants.
“When the regime wants to go someplace and puts the right package of forces together, it can do it,” Mr. White said. “But the opposition is raising the cost of those kinds of operations.”
