Editor's Comment: Only a few days ago, SHTF reported Putin Deploys 28 Combat Planes in Syria, Taunting West to "Join Forces Against ISIS", pointing towards an interesting turning of the worm in Syria and the broader middle east conflict. Putin has essentially called the West's bluff on battling ISIS, and moved to protect Assad's comparatively mild and secular regime from the gambit of Western-sponsored terrorism that is being used to shock the region into submission, and break away its fiefdoms for reconsolidation.

If Americans were paying any attention at all to Syria – and the major media are doing everything they can to keep that from happening – people would surely be angry about the lies, the wars, the killing of civilians, the destroying of cultures (including Christianity) and priceless artifacts, and especially of the deliberate plot to covertly arm and build up terrorists, radicals, and the neo-Caliphate to wreck and ruin the nation-states, invented after WWI, that the corporate bondholders seek to break into smaller, more manageable pieces. But the general population is not paying attention, and they have no idea about the significance of Russia 'checking' the West on its phony terrorism game.
