World Peace “Lennon Ivan Style” – Part 227
World Peace “Lennon Ivan Style” – Part 227
As a continuation from my last blog whereby I believe the root of “World
Peace” is centered on peace in the Middle East with the first step being
negotiated peace between Israel and the Palestinians, I would like to remain
objective and independent in my views such that I would like to today bring
Iraq into my views as they seem to be the closest at this time to a full fledge
civil war of rage like wild animals stuck together in a cage. However, it is
important to note that Israel and Palestine seem to be awakening from their
hatred induced coma state with the potential for peace negotiations to be
resumed in the near future in the United States, while Egypt continues to operate
in supremacy domination mode whereby the minority Christian military continues
to hold on to power while the Muslim majority is fuming at the seams hoping to
awaken from this horrible dream. As for the Syrians, both sides are still in
anger induced coma state for the mentally insane such that millions of Syrians
continue to suffer each and every day. In terms of the Russians and Ukrainians,
they seem to have entered into a political war game whereby neither party
wishes to concede but rather seems to prefer to enter into a civil war and
commit dirty deeds. While Israelis, Palestinians, Egyptians, Syrians, Russians
and Ukrainians continue along their respective paths toward enlightenment, it
is now time for the Iraqis to be enlightened as to the path of quelling their
current tensions before any more civil war breaks out which bears the risk of
leading to a third and final world war on this earth, after which, there will
be no place for anyone left to run. In summary, Observers around the world are
stunned by the speed and scope of assaults on every major city in the upper
Tigris River Valley, including Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city, by the
Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS. However, as the ISIS rebels extend
their reach across Iraq, the U.S. Air Force was forced to intervene in order to
prevent Genocide while Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki relinquished power opening
a new political chapter that U.S. officials hope will move Iraq toward a more
unified front against Islamic jihadists currently running wild and literally
beheading “Infidels” like pigs without shedding a tear as blood spills out of
their victims giving everybody creepy chills.
During the week ending on Sunday, January 1, 2017, TURKEY retreated from
their aggressive siege of CIZRE, SILOPI, DIYARBAKIR and NUSAYBIN, predominantly
KURDISH, which TURKEY had converted into a suburban war zone area as TURKEY was
on the defense as they were subject to an internal military “Coup D’État” that
failed as gunfire and explosions erupted in which 265 people died, 161 of them
civilians, over one month ago. As a result of the failed “Coup D’État”,
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared a state of emergency, extended
the period during which suspects can be detained without charge to 30 days, closed
more than 1,000 private schools and closed more than 1,200 associations.
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan continued cleaning house again this
week after nearly three months since the failed “Coup D’État” for which
officials continue to blame the disciples of TURKISH cleric Fethullah
Gulen. A wide scale purge led by
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his governing AKP escalated further this
week under the disguise of emergency rule as President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s
iron fisted rule resulted in a TURKISH parliamentary commission approving draft
constitutional amendments to introduce a new executive presidential system
giving President Recep Tayyip Erdogan more powers. Under the changes, the prime
minister's post will be abolished while the president and vice president will
have full executive powers. Critics fear the proposed reforms would allow President
Recep Tayyip Erdogan who already has significant influence over his party and
the different levels of government to rule without any checks and balances with
complete control. The changes will be put to a referendum that the government
expects will be held in the spring of 2017 that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
expects will pass on the basis of the same electoral platform used when his
party first came to power in 2002 whereby President Recep Tayyip Erdogan blames
coalition governments for what he calls TURKEY's political instability and
economic downfall.
Moving
on to IRAQ, IRAQI and US-led ALLIANCE forces continued with their offensive
against ISIS on MOSUL. However, ISIS has sent the message to the world that it
will do whatever it takes to defend MOSUL as ISIS has chosen the usage of its
own people as human shields. Nonetheless, IRAQI and ALLIED forces managed to push
ISIS militants back from MOSUL, their last major stronghold in IRAQ, whereby IRAQI
forces began a dramatic shift in tactics in their stalled offensive to retake
MOSUL advancing on new fronts and bringing police into the battle after ISIS
counterattacks inflicted heavy casualties. A shift in tactics was announced by IRAQ’s
military with a multi-sided offensive on MOSUL’s northern, eastern and southeastern
neighbourhoods in an attempt to choke off ISIS supplies of weapons and new ISIS
fighters. In addition, Iraq’s military has begun using heavy artillery in the
crowded MOSUL city, in spite of the risk to civilians, and has moved some 4,000
police officers from the capital of BAGHDAD and south of MOSUL to support the
fight in the east. The changes follow a series of devastating counterattacks by
ISIS that have raised questions about the battle plan and even the military’s
capacity to secure other urban centers, including the capital BAGHDAD. However,
ISIS militants have been steadily retreating from areas around MOSUL into the
city center since the battle first commenced on October 17 with a slow but
steady advance by the ALLIANCE due to the usage by ISIS of civilians as human
shields. Thus far, IRAQI, KURDISH and ALLIED forces advances have been
impressive on their push to retake MOSUL, ISIS's de facto capital in IRAQ where
as many as 1.5 million people are believed to still remain. However, progress
has been slow as the ALLIANCE forces have faced counterattacks from the ISIS
fighters who deployed hundreds of suicide car bombs, as well as mortars and
snipers and used MOSUL’s million plus residents as human shields.
Unfortunately, ISIS is still a force to be reckoned with, due to its
significant wealth amassed in safe havens abroad, such that although the battle
for MOSUL will likely lead to the end of the ISIS era in IRAQ, the ISIS wealth
abroad will likely lead to ISIS taking the fight to the streets on foreign soil
which will necessitate heightened security measures until kingdom come.
Therefore, the US-led ALLIANCE needs to be on heightened security alerts world
wide as ISIS will look to find any and all possible retributory strikes, the
most savage and barbarian possible, in an attempt to save face from a
humiliating defeat of its MOSUL base.
Moving
on to SYRIA, SYRIAN government forces have retaken full control of ALEPPO for
the first time, since the uprising began, after nearly six years of bloody
fighting for Syria’s most populous city and SYRIA’s economic hub that has been
the most prized and fiercely contested city throughout the Syrian conflict. The
evacuation of civilians and fighters from the last rebel-held part of ALEPPO
concluded putting virtually all of Syria’s industrial capital back in the hands
of President Bashar al-Assad’s forces for the first time since 2012. As a friendly
reminder, since the Syrian army’s assault against rebel held ALEPPO began in
late September, RUSSIAN and SYRIAN government bombardments have killed more
than 1,000 people, including over 250 children while injuring over 5,000. Now, a
ceasefire across SYRIA appears to be holding as its brokers, RUSSIA and TURKEY, looked for
approval of the plan from the UN security council which all parties hope will
override all previous failed peace proposals and finally end the six-year
conflict. Despite violations blamed on both sides in different parts of SYRIA,
there were no reported civilian casualties such that diplomats were hopeful
that the fragile truce would take root, despite all other previous failed attempts.
RUSSIA that has invested much political time and energy in ending the fighting
after bombing the opposition relentlessly for the past 15 months appears ready,
willing and able to support the bilateral pact with TURKEY that will allow aid
access to besieged areas conditional on all protagonists putting down their
weapons.
In
my opinion, Turkey’s participation in the military battle against ISIS is a positive
addition to the ALLIANCE albeit Turkey’s negative stance against the PKK which
in my opinion is currently unwarranted and deteriorating. However, with the
recent majority victory by the governing AKP and President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan, it appears that Turkey’s future is heading for more war and bloodshed.
Unfortunately, the governing AKP and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan have chosen
the path of war with the PKK as opposed to diplomacy via the KURDISH HDP
political party which secured close to 11% during recent Turkish elections.
Therefore, in my opinion, the governing AKP and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
will learn the hard way that nobody on the outside world looking in is stupid
but rather everyone chooses to close their eyes and allow Turkey to continue
with its ethnic cleansing campaign of the KURDS in exchange for Turkey signing
a deal with the European Union (EU) to stem the flow of refugees arriving in
Greece. In exchange for reducing human trafficking and improving living
conditions for 2.5 million refugees within its borders, Turkey will receive
Euro 3 billion in financial aid in return, the possibility of visa-free travel
for its citizens, and a reopening of EU membership talks. In my opinion,
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the governing AKP will learn the hard way
that the current failed “Coup D’État” exposes the deep discontent within the
TURKISH military ranks as the governing AKP and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
persist with their quest to annihilate the HDP and the KURDS as the AKP is
converting itself into a majority fascist regime with its house cleaning
exercises whereby virtually all dissidents have been fired. In my opinion, the
recent European parliament vote to halt TURKEY’s EU accession backed by a
resolution condemning the TURKISH government’s disproportionate repressive
measures after the failed “Coup D’État” in July was long overdue as TURKEY has
demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt, with its repressive measures over all
opposition, that TURKEY does not share common values, morals, principals,
ethics and views as the EU such that TURKEY does not fit into the EU mould.
However, in my opinion, TURKEY still represents a major player on the European
economic stage such that the EU will nonetheless have to negotiate deals with
TURKEY as an independent NON-EU member country regarding the huge refugee
crisis. In my opinion, in exchange for reducing human trafficking and improving
living conditions for 2.5 million refugees within its borders, TURKEY should
only receive Euro 1.5 billion, half of the initial proposed 3 billion, in
financial aid along with visa-free travel for its citizens who do not pose any
significant risks outside of TURKISH borders. However, with TURKEY’s hardline
stance against all opposition groups with the so-called “national mobilization
against all terrorist organizations” which in effect identifies virtually all
opposition groups as terrorists, TURKEY cannot conform to the EU protocol
regarding civil rights and liberties which protects all minorities from
persecution to the extent they follow democratic laws, regulations and
principals. Furthermore, TURKEY will deviate even further away from European
political protocol with TURKEY’s anticipated referendum, expected to be held in
the spring of 2017, whereby proposed reforms would allow President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan to rule without any checks and balances with complete control. However,
it is important to note that it is TURKEY’s turbulent past that has in essence
created this new AKP paranoid schizophrenic ideology. That is, the recent fourth
“Coup D’État” that failed overshadows the previous three devastating military
coups that successfully occurred during TURKEY’s 95 year political history. However,
the overall price of victory was high for TURKEY’s fourth “Coup D’État” that
failed with over 240 people killed and more than 2,200 others injured. Furthermore,
the TURKISH government blames the failed “Coup D’État” attempt on FETHULLAH
GULEN who is the leader of a widespread and influential religious movement
known as HIZMET, which owns foundations, associations, media organisations and
schools in TURKEY and abroad. Ironically, FETHULLAH GULEN who has lived in
self-imposed exile in the United States since 1999 seems to be behind this new
AKP paranoid schizophrenic ideology that I refer to as the “GULEN BI-POLAR
DISORDER”. In my opinion, given that FETHULLAH GULEN was once a strong ally of President
Recep Tayyip Erdogan during the AKP’s struggle to end the military’s influence
in TURKISH politics in the late 2000’s that went sour, President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan and the governing AKP have been psychologically traumatized by the
potential for FETHULLAH GULEN to come to power. Furthermore, there is still bad
blood between the AKP and FETHULLAH GULEN from a corruption investigation in
December 2013 that saw renowned business people and senior bureaucrats close to
the AKP arrested by FETHULLAH GULEN loyal police officers that gave way to an
all-out war between the AKP government and the FETHULLAH GULEN HIZMET movement.
In my opinion, this AKP paranoid schizophrenic ideology that I refer to as the “GULEN
BI-POLAR DISORDER” has resulted, as of today, with more than 100,000 people fired
or suspended and 37,000 more arrested in an unprecedented crackdown
which the TURKISH government has deemed necessary to root out all coup
supporters from the state apparatus.
Moving
on to IRAQ, the recent successful attacks on ISIS by IRAQI security forces in
MOSUL, has clearly sent the message to ISIS that it is just a matter of time
until the ISIS Empire in MOSUL dies. However, the IRAQI led troops on the
ground are essentially forced to fight ISIS style, which is slow and brutal for
any other type of heavy artillery attack on ISIS, will result in significant
collateral damage in terms of human casualties. Unfortunately ISIS has managed
to set new rules of war, with complete and utter disregard for the laws of war
as promulgated by the GENEVA convention, which is essentially that there are no
rules other than the dirtiest player in the game wins. Thus, the world finds
itself going backwards to the days of Barbarian,
Neanderthal, Self-Centered, Egotistical, Narcissistic, Masochistic, Sadistic,
Idiosyncratic, Sociopathic and Psychopathic maniacs. Furthermore, with recent
advances by IRAQI and ALLIED troops, collateral damage has escalated as the
death toll among IRAQI security forces has far exceeded previous battles
against ISIS, largely due to the size of MOSUL and the number of ISIS fighters
concentrated in MOSUL. In my opinion, were it not for the U.S. led coalition strikes
on ISIS with more than 7,650 blasts fired, IRAQI security forces would not have
been able to advance as ISIS fighters have clearly demonstrated that they will
be fighting to death. Given that ISIS is fighting in never surrender death
mode, casualties have been and will continue to be high amongst IRAQI security
forces as even the greatest trained military formations find themselves
helpless as ISIS chooses suicide bomb vests to intentionally inflict mass
casualties of IRAQI security forces deaths. However, in my opinion, assuming that the KURDISH
peshmerga, IRAQI army, SHIITE militia and some SUNNI militia forces continue to
overlook their differences and stick together, ISIS will inevitably be
decimated in IRAQ, although ISIS will likely survive as an incognito terrorist
organization throughout the world. In my opinion, with ISIS inevitably nearing
its downfall in IRAQ, IRAQI security forces need to be prepared for a different
kind of war against ISIS, shifting away from ground offensives to intelligence
work and surgical airstrikes to counter an expected move by ISIS away from
holding territory and back to a more terrorist role of a dispersed underground
terror organization. In my opinion, ISIS is already laying the groundwork for a
new terrorist strategy of hiding in remote areas, carrying out attacks in IRAQ
and abroad and resorting to organized crime to bankroll future operations.
Moving
on to SYRIA, the latest news that the SYRIAN government forces have recaptured the
entire former rebel stronghold of east ALEPPO in an offensive that has left
bodies in the streets and sparked global outrage initially sucked out all of
the air from ALEPPO for some sort of power sharing arrangement. However, there
now seems to be a glimmer of hope for peace, as a ceasefire across SYRIA
appears to be holding as its brokers, RUSSIA and TURKEY look for approval of
the plan from the UN Security Council. In my opinion, RUSSIA has invested much
political time and energy in ending the fighting after bombing the opposition
relentlessly for the past 15 months. Therefore, RUSSIA now appears to be the
only viable negotiator to broker a deal as RUSSIA is the only party respected
by President Bashar al-Assad’s forces who relied heavily on RUSSIA for foreign
military support along with Iran and Shiite militias like Lebanon’s Hezbollah.
Therefore, RUSSIA along with TURKEY are probably the best two parties to
negotiate a ceasefire deal on behalf of President Bashar al-Assad and the Free
Syrian Army (FSA) respectively because it seems that RUSSIA and TURKEY are both
respected by all parties. Meanwhile, the US seems to have lost its relevance to
the SYRIAN conflict as RUSSIA, President Bashar al-Assad, Iran and Hezbollah
have zero interest in hearing anything more from the USA who advocated from the
outset the removal of President Bashar al-Assad from power as a pre-condition
to any negotiations. Nonetheless, in my opinion, the current situation in
ALEPPO is deplorable as innocent civilians are living in a literal hell on
earth as the entire city is covered in blood with diminishing food, necessities
and basic supplies while innocent civilians continue to die. Ultimately, it is
because of this battle for ALEPPO that ISIS is able to survive as the ASSAD regime with the support of RUSSIA and
IRAN has managed to slaughter their way back to legitimacy. Unfortunately, the seizure of virtually
all of Aleppo by President Bashar al-Assad’s forces and his Allies signals a
turning point in the nearly six-year conflict back to where it all began except
that the death, destruction and carnage can never be erased and ALEPPO will
carry the scent of blood for generations to face.
In
summary, I refer to “World Peace Lennon Ivan Style – Part 227” as the belief
that ISIS is evil such that the MOSUL victory is critical to ISIS decimation
but ASSAD seizure of ALEPPO may lead to peace as RUSSIAN
and TURKISH brokered ceasefire across SYRIA appears to hold albeit tensions
from both sides that occasionally boil over and explode.

As a continuation from my last blog whereby I believe the root of “World

negotiated peace between Israel and the Palestinians, I would like to remain
objective and independent in my views such that I would like to today bring

in supremacy domination mode whereby the minority Christian military continues
to hold on to power while the Muslim majority is fuming at the seams hoping to
awaken from this horrible dream. As for the Syrians, both sides are still in
anger induced coma state for the mentally insane such that millions of Syrians
continue to suffer each and every day. In terms of the Russians and Ukrainians,
they seem to have entered into a political war game whereby neither party
wishes to concede but rather seems to prefer to enter into a civil war and
commit dirty deeds. While Israelis, Palestinians, Egyptians, Syrians, Russians
and Ukrainians continue along their respective paths toward enlightenment, it
is now time for the Iraqis to be enlightened as to the path of quelling their
current tensions before any more civil war breaks out which bears the risk of
leading to a third and final world war on this earth, after which, there will
be no place for anyone left to run. In summary, Observers around the world are
stunned by the speed and scope of assaults on every major city in the upper
Tigris River Valley, including Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city, by the
Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS. However, as the ISIS rebels extend

a new political chapter that U.S. officials hope will move Iraq toward a more
unified front against Islamic jihadists currently running wild and literally
beheading “Infidels” like pigs without shedding a tear as blood spills out of
their victims giving everybody creepy chills.
During
the week ending on Sunday, December 25, 2016, TURKEY retreated from their
aggressive siege of CIZRE, SILOPI, DIYARBAKIR and NUSAYBIN, predominantly
KURDISH, which TURKEY had converted into a suburban war zone area as TURKEY was
on the defense as they were subject to an internal military “Coup D’État” that
failed as gunfire and explosions erupted in which 265 people died, 161 of them
civilians, over one month ago. As a result of the failed “Coup D’État”,
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared a state of emergency, extended
the period during which suspects can be detained without charge to 30 days, closed
more than 1,000 private schools and closed more than 1,200 associations.
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan continued cleaning house again this
week after nearly three months since the failed “Coup D’État” for which
officials continue to blame the disciples of TURKISH cleric Fethullah
Gulen. A wide scale purge led by
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his governing AKP escalated further this
week under the disguise of emergency rule as President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s
iron fisted rule resulted in President Recep Tayyip Erdogan calling for a national
mobilization against all terrorist organizations. As the leader of TURKEY, President
Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared a national mobilization against the PKK (outlawed
Kurdistan Workers’ Party), ISIS, FETO (Fethullahist Terrorist Organization),
DHKP-C (outlawed Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party Front) and all other
terrorist organizations, whatever their names, arguments or methods. President
Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated that TURKEY cannot leave its security solely in the
hands of the TURKISH security forces and thus called on all TURKISH citizens to
help their security forces. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reiterated that whoever
has information about the activities of these organizations should immediately
inform TURKISH security forces. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also again
claimed that dark external forces were acting against TURKEY’s interests such
that TURKEY is facing the greatest attacks in its history through the acts of
these terrorist organizations giving TURKEY the right to retaliate. Finally, TURKEY
banned Twitter, Facebook and You Tube for hours after ISIS Barbarians uploaded
video of ISIS burning two TURKISH soldiers alive in sick execution style
footage. The nineteen-minute video showing two uniformed men being hauled from
a cage before being bound and torched was posted on ISIS’s websites and was
supposedly shot in ISIS’s section of ALEPPO. Speaking in TURKISH, the ISIS killer
of the two TURKISH soldiers criticised Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
for his position against ISIS and called for destruction to be sowed in TURKEY.
Moving
on to IRAQ, IRAQI and US-led ALLIANCE forces continued with their offensive
against ISIS on MOSUL. However, ISIS has sent the message to the world that it
will do whatever it takes to defend MOSUL as ISIS has chosen the usage of its
own people as human shields. Nonetheless, IRAQI and ALLIED forces managed to push
ISIS militants back from MOSUL, their last major stronghold in IRAQ, whereby a
triple car bombing on a market killed at least 23 innocent civilians in
GOGJALI, a few kilometres east of MOSUL; mortar fire killed 11 innocent
civilians including four aid workers gathered to receive assistance in MOSUL
city; & other separate incidents also wounded up to 40 innocent civilians. Unfortunately,
the killing of civilians and aid workers violates every humanitarian principle
albeit the reality of the war against ISIS to retake MOSUL whereby collateral
damage is high. IRAQI and ALLIANCE forces pushing towards MOSUL on the southern
front have yet to enter the city and another advance from the north has
stalled. To the west, forces from pro-government KURDISH paramilitary groups
are close to the town of TAL AFAR, between MOSUL and the border with SYRIA but have
been unable to close the passageway to SYRIA. Furthermore, areas taken from ISIS
are still exposed to deadly artillery attacks, bombs and gunfire. However, ISIS
militants have been steadily retreating from areas around MOSUL into the city center
since the battle first commenced on October 17 with a slow but steady advance
by the ALLIANCE due to the usage by ISIS of civilians as human shields. Thus
far, IRAQI, KURDISH and ALLIED forces advances have been impressive on their
push to retake MOSUL, ISIS's de facto capital in IRAQ where as many as 1.5
million people are believed to still remain. However, progress has been slow as
the ALLIANCE forces have faced counterattacks from the ISIS fighters who
deployed hundreds of suicide car bombs, as well as mortars and snipers and used
MOSUL’s million plus residents as human shields. Unfortunately, ISIS is still a
force to be reckoned with, due to its significant wealth amassed in safe havens
abroad, such that although the battle for MOSUL will likely lead to the end of
the ISIS era in IRAQ, the ISIS wealth abroad will likely lead to ISIS taking
the fight to the streets on foreign soil which will necessitate heightened
security measures until kingdom come. Therefore, the US-led ALLIANCE needs to
be on heightened security alerts world wide as ISIS will look to find any and
all possible retributory strikes, the most savage and barbarian possible, in an
attempt to save face from a humiliating defeat of its MOSUL base.
Moving
on to SYRIA, SYRIAN government forces have come close to retaking full control
of ALEPPO for the first time, since the uprising began, after nearly six years
of bloody fighting for Syria’s most populous city and SYRIA’s economic hub that
has been the most prized and fiercely contested city throughout the Syrian
conflict. The evacuation of civilians and fighters from the last rebel-held
part of ALEPPO concluded putting virtually all of Syria’s industrial capital
back in the hands of President Bashar al-Assad’s forces for the first time
since 2012. It appears that over 35,000 people have left east ALEPPO, including
4,000 rebel fighters who left in their own vehicles fearing assassinations at
the hands of President Bashar al-Assad’s forces that allowed buses transporting
residents of east ALEPPO safe passage out under an agreement brokered by
Russia, Turkey and Iran. The seizure of virtually all of Aleppo by President
Bashar al-Assad’s forces and his allies signals a turning point in the nearly
six-year conflict. Given that President Bashar al-Assad’s forces relied heavily
on foreign military support from Russia, Iran and Shiite militias like Lebanon’s
Hezbollah to surround the rebel-held areas with shelling and airstrikes that
killed hundreds of people and reduced entire neighbourhoods to rubble, the fall
of ALEPPO is a turning point because in substance the rebellion has been quashed.
Ironically, President Bashar al-Assad has characterized the rebels seeking his
ouster as foreign backed terrorists such that he hailed the retaking of ALEPPO as
a blow to those forces. As a friendly reminder, since the Syrian army’s assault
against rebel held ALEPPO began in late September, RUSSIAN and SYRIAN government
bombardments have killed more than 1,000 people, including over 250 children
while injuring over 5,000.
In my opinion, Turkey’s participation in the military battle against
ISIS is a positive addition to the ALLIANCE albeit Turkey’s negative stance
against the PKK which in my opinion is currently unwarranted and deteriorating.
However, with the recent majority victory by the governing AKP and President
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, it appears that Turkey’s future is heading for more war
and bloodshed. Unfortunately, the governing AKP and President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan have chosen the path of war with the PKK as opposed to diplomacy via
the KURDISH HDP political party which secured close to 11% during recent
Turkish elections. Therefore, in my opinion, the governing AKP and President
Recep Tayyip Erdogan will learn the hard way that nobody on the outside world
looking in is stupid but rather everyone chooses to close their eyes and allow
Turkey to continue with its ethnic cleansing campaign of the KURDS in exchange
for Turkey signing a deal with the European Union (EU) to stem the flow of
refugees arriving in Greece. In exchange for reducing human trafficking and
improving living conditions for 2.5 million refugees within its borders, Turkey
will receive Euro 3 billion in financial aid in return, the possibility of
visa-free travel for its citizens, and a reopening of EU membership talks. In
my opinion, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the governing AKP will learn the
hard way that the current failed “Coup D’État” exposes the deep discontent
within the TURKISH military ranks as the governing AKP and President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan persist with their quest to annihilate the HDP and the KURDS as the AKP
is converting itself into a majority fascist regime with its house cleaning
exercises whereby virtually all dissidents have been fired. In my opinion, the
recent European parliament vote to halt TURKEY’s EU accession backed by a
resolution condemning the TURKISH government’s disproportionate repressive
measures after the failed “Coup D’État” in July was long overdue as TURKEY has
demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt, with its repressive measures over all
opposition, that TURKEY does not share common values, morals, principals,
ethics and views as the EU such that TURKEY does not fit into the EU mould.
However, in my opinion, TURKEY still represents a major player on the European
economic stage such that the EU will nonetheless have to negotiate deals with
TURKEY as an independent NON-EU member country regarding the huge refugee
crisis. In my opinion, in exchange for reducing human trafficking and improving
living conditions for 2.5 million refugees within its borders, TURKEY should
only receive Euro 1.5 billion, half of the initial proposed 3 billion, in
financial aid along with visa-free travel for its citizens who do not pose any
significant risks outside of TURKISH borders. However, with TURKEY’s hardline
stance against all opposition groups with the so-called “national mobilization
against all terrorist organizations” which in effect identifies virtually all
opposition groups as terrorists, TURKEY cannot conform to the EU protocol
regarding civil rights and liberties which protects all minorities from
persecution to the extent they follow democratic laws, regulations and principals.
Unfortunately, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan does not see that the tighter he
squeezes all opposition parties, the closer he brings TURKEY to the brink of
civil war. In my opinion, TURKEY’s stance against ISIS is justified
particularly in light of the horrific execution of two TURKISH soldiers by
burning them alive. However, all of the other so-called “terrorist
organizations” are a by-product of the toxic domestic policies that have
squeezed the lifeblood of all opposition groups within TURKEY to the point that
they have become radicalized. Therefore, in my opinion, the only long-term sustainable
rehabilitation program for TURKEY is one of dialogue, negotiations and
diplomacy with the minority factions who cannot be forced to conform to TURKISH
AKP ideology but rather can only be encouraged to assimilate into TURKISH
society by having an opportunity to promote their ideology via democratic,
peaceful and law abiding mechanisms. As a friendly reminder, TURKEY has gone
through three military takeovers, each with a worse record of human rights
violations than the last, such that it is shame that the governing AKP does not
seem to have learned from TURKEY’s bloodstained past that whatever is
assimilated by force will never survive TURKEY’s natural life course.
Moving
on to IRAQ, the recent successful attacks on ISIS by IRAQI security forces in
MOSUL, has clearly sent the message to ISIS that it is just a matter of time
until the ISIS Empire in MOSUL dies. However, the IRAQI led troops on the
ground are essentially forced to fight ISIS style, which is slow and brutal for
any other type of heavy artillery attack on ISIS, will result in significant
collateral damage in terms of human casualties. Unfortunately ISIS has managed
to set new rules of war, with complete and utter disregard for the laws of war
as promulgated by the GENEVA convention, which is essentially that there are no
rules other than the dirtiest player in the game wins. Thus, the world finds
itself going backwards to the days of Barbarian,
Neanderthal, Self-Centered, Egotistical, Narcissistic, Masochistic, Sadistic,
Idiosyncratic, Sociopathic and Psychopathic maniacs. Furthermore, with recent
advances by IRAQI and ALLIED troops,
collateral damage has escalated as ISIS has told residents in person, by radio
and over mosque loudspeakers that those who stay behind would be deemed
“non-believers” and therefore would be valid targets along with the IRAQI and ALLIANCE
forces. In my opinion, the ISIS killing machine has become heartless with the
attack on MOSUL as ISIS has targeted civilians with mortars, explosives and
gunfire including children who have been killed and wounded in addition to
having to witness horrific violence during fighting for MOSUL. In my opinion,
the psychological scars on innocent children will never be healed as they have seen
their families and neighbours decapitated in mortar strikes, torn to shreds by car
bombs or mine explosions and crushed under the rubble of their homes. However,
in my opinion, assuming
that the KURDISH peshmerga, IRAQI army, SHIITE militia and some SUNNI militia
forces continue to overlook their differences and stick together, ISIS will
inevitably be decimated in IRAQ, although ISIS will likely survive as an
incognito terrorist organization throughout the world. In my opinion, with ISIS
inevitably nearing its downfall in IRAQ, IRAQI security forces need to be
prepared for a different kind of war against ISIS, shifting away from ground
offensives to intelligence work and surgical airstrikes to counter an expected
move by ISIS away from holding territory and back to a more terrorist role of a
dispersed underground terror organization. In my opinion, ISIS is already laying
the groundwork for a new terrorist strategy of hiding in remote areas, carrying
out attacks in IRAQ and abroad and resorting to organized crime to bankroll future
operations.
Moving
on to SYRIA, the latest news that the SYRIAN government forces have recaptured virtually
the entire former rebel stronghold of east ALEPPO in an offensive that has left
bodies in the streets and sparked global outrage seems to have sucked out all
of the air from ALEPPO for some sort of power sharing arrangement. As tens of
thousands of civilians streamed out of ALEPPO's east, President Bashar al-Assad
characterized the rebels seeking his ouster as foreign backed terrorists such
that he hailed the retaking of ALEPPO as a blow to those forces. Therefore,
President Bashar al-Assad has clearly sent the message that there will be no
power sharing deal in ALEPPO such that the bombardments that have killed more
than 1,000 people, including over 250 children while injuring over 5,000 were
all in vain as nothing will change. At the end of the day, with fewer rebel
factions, no refuelling possible and the RUSSIAN backing of SYRIAN government
forces, the rebellion disintegrated before everybodies’ eyes. However, in my
opinion, the current situation in ALEPPO is deplorable as innocent civilians
are living in a literal hell on earth as the entire city is covered in blood
with diminishing food, necessities and basic supplies while innocent civilians
continue to die. Ultimately, it is because of this battle for ALEPPO that ISIS
is able to survive as the ASSAD regime
with the support of RUSSIA and IRAN has managed to slaughter their way back to legitimacy. Unfortunately,
the seizure of virtually all of Aleppo by President Bashar al-Assad’s forces and
his Allies signals a turning point in the nearly six-year conflict back to
where it all began except that the death, destruction and carnage can never be
erased and ALEPPO will carry the scent of blood for generations to face.
In
summary, I refer to “World Peace Lennon Ivan Style – Part 226” as the belief
that ISIS is evil such that the MOSUL victory is critical to ISIS decimation
but ASSAD seizure of ALEPPO by sheer military force signals
a turning point back to where it all began except that the death, destruction
and carnage can never be erased and ALEPPO will carry the scent of blood for future
generations to face.

World Peace “Lennon Ivan Style” – Part 225
World Peace “Lennon Ivan Style” – Part 225
As a continuation from my last blog whereby I believe the root of “World
Peace” is centered on peace in the Middle East with the first step being
negotiated peace between Israel and the Palestinians, I would like to remain
objective and independent in my views such that I would like to today bring
Iraq into my views as they seem to be the closest at this time to a full fledge
civil war of rage like wild animals stuck together in a cage. However, it is
important to note that Israel and Palestine seem to be awakening from their
hatred induced coma state with the potential for peace negotiations to be
resumed in the near future in the United States, while Egypt continues to operate
in supremacy domination mode whereby the minority Christian military continues
to hold on to power while the Muslim majority is fuming at the seams hoping to
awaken from this horrible dream. As for the Syrians, both sides are still in
anger induced coma state for the mentally insane such that millions of Syrians
continue to suffer each and every day. In terms of the Russians and Ukrainians,
they seem to have entered into a political war game whereby neither party
wishes to concede but rather seems to prefer to enter into a civil war and
commit dirty deeds. While Israelis, Palestinians, Egyptians, Syrians, Russians
and Ukrainians continue along their respective paths toward enlightenment, it
is now time for the Iraqis to be enlightened as to the path of quelling their
current tensions before any more civil war breaks out which bears the risk of
leading to a third and final world war on this earth, after which, there will
be no place for anyone left to run. In summary, Observers around the world are
stunned by the speed and scope of assaults on every major city in the upper
Tigris River Valley, including Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city, by the
Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS. However, as the ISIS rebels extend
their reach across Iraq, the U.S. Air Force was forced to intervene in order to
prevent Genocide while Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki relinquished power opening
a new political chapter that U.S. officials hope will move Iraq toward a more
unified front against Islamic jihadists currently running wild and literally
beheading “Infidels” like pigs without shedding a tear as blood spills out of
their victims giving everybody creepy chills.
During
the week ending on Sunday, December 18, 2016, TURKEY retreated from their
aggressive siege of CIZRE, SILOPI, DIYARBAKIR and NUSAYBIN, predominantly
KURDISH, which TURKEY had converted into a suburban war zone area as TURKEY was
on the defense as they were subject to an internal military “Coup D’État” that
failed as gunfire and explosions erupted in which 265 people died, 161 of them
civilians, over one month ago. As a result of the failed “Coup D’État”,
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared a state of emergency, extended
the period during which suspects can be detained without charge to 30 days, closed
more than 1,000 private schools and closed more than 1,200 associations.
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan continued cleaning house again this
week after nearly three months since the failed “Coup D’État” for which
officials continue to blame the disciples of TURKISH cleric Fethullah
Gulen. A wide scale purge led by
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his governing AKP escalated further this
week under the disguise of emergency rule as President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s
iron fisted rule resulted in AUSTRIAN Foreign Minister, Sebastian Kurz making
good on his promise to veto European Union (EU) membership talks for TURKEY
while TURKEY vowed to retaliate. Turkish Foreign Minister, Mevlüt
Cavusoglu slammed the actions of his Austrian counterpart and stated that TURKEY
would look to fight against AUSTRIA at all levels due to the delay in Turkish
accession talks that could eventually lead to full membership in the EU. TURKEY
again repeated the threat that if AUSTRIA and EUROPE did not change their minds
on continuing the membership negotiations then Turkey would cancel the
EU-Turkey migrant agreement which could see thousands of migrants cross into
Greece per day. TURKEY also complained that Turkish citizens had not been
granted visa-free access to the EU that was part of the migrant deal saying it
should have happened in June, then in October, and now it is still being
discussed. Reacting to the comments by TURKEY, AUSTRIA stated that is has a
clear opinion on the issues of EU accession which involve the freedom of the
press and the independence of the judiciary which AUSTRIA has criticised the
TURKISH government for in the aftermath of the failed “Coup D’État” this
summer. Furthermore, AUSTRIA has made their position clear on TURKEY by stating
that over recent years TURKEY has moved further and further away from the EU,
but EU policy has remained the same for which there needs to be clear punative consequences.
AUSTRIA reiterated the rationale for its veto position of TURKEY in the EU due
to opposition figures being arrested, journalists being persecuted, officials being
fired if they think differently than the governing TURKISH AKP and discussions
regarding the return of the death penalty.
Moving on to IRAQ, IRAQI and US-led ALLIANCE forces continued with their
offensive against ISIS on MOSUL. However, ISIS has sent the message to the
world that it will do whatever it takes to defend MOSUL as ISIS has chosen the
usage of its own people as human shields. Nonetheless, IRAQI and ALLIED forces managed
to push ISIS militants back from MOSUL, their last major stronghold in IRAQ,
whereby industrial-scale weapons manufacturing capabilities of the ISIS group have
now been revealed. Unfortunately, ISIS weapons production was highly organized
and sophisticated while relying on a robust and reliable supply chain from
across the border in TURKEY. The degree of organization, quality control and
inventory management indicates a complex, centrally controlled industrial
production system much to the surprise of IRAQI and ALLIED forces. However,
ISIS militants have been steadily retreating from areas around MOSUL into the
city center since the battle first commenced on October 17 with a slow but
steady advance by the ALLIANCE due to the usage by ISIS of civilians as human
shields. Thus far, IRAQI, KURDISH and ALLIED forces advances have been
impressive on their push to retake MOSUL, ISIS's de facto capital in IRAQ where
as many as 1.5 million people are believed to still remain. However, progress
has been slow as the ALLIANCE forces have faced counterattacks from the ISIS
fighters who deployed hundreds of suicide car bombs, as well as mortars and
snipers and used MOSUL’s million plus residents as human shields.
Unfortunately, ISIS is still a force to be reckoned with, due to its
significant wealth amassed in safe havens abroad, such that although the battle
for MOSUL will likely lead to the end of the ISIS era in IRAQ, the ISIS wealth
abroad will likely lead to ISIS taking the fight to the streets on foreign soil
which will necessitate heightened security measures until kingdom come.
Therefore, the US-led ALLIANCE needs to be on heightened security alerts world
wide as ISIS will look to find any and all possible retributory strikes, the
most savage and barbarian possible, in an attempt to save face from a
humiliating defeat of its MOSUL base.
Moving
on to SYRIA, the SYRIAN army had initially intensified attacks on ALEPPO as
RUSSIA defied global pressure over the escalation of violence that has crushed
diplomacy, as the bombing of the city of ALEPPO has been described by most as
“Barbarous”. Subsequently, Free Syrian Army (FSA) held areas of ALEPPO saw the
FSA in SYRIA announcing a big offensive aimed at breaking the government siege
of east ALEPPO whereby the FSA fired hundreds of missiles and initiated a push
to break the ALEPPO siege whereby about 275,000 people have been besieged in the
east of the city for months. Then, RUSSIAN President, VLADIMIR PUTIN warned the
Free Syrian Army (FSA) rebels and civilians trapped in eastern ALEPPO to leave
the city when a temporary moratorium on air strikes expired. Subsequently, President
elect Donald Trump reaffirmed his campaign trail position that assisting the
SYRIAN government in fighting ISIS should be the US main objective in SYRIA despite
appeals from the Free Syrian Army (FSA) rebels for continued help in their
fight against President Bashar al-Assad. Now, SYRIAN government forces have come
close to retaking full control of ALEPPO for the first time, since the uprising
began, after nearly six years of bloody fighting for Syria’s most populous city
and SYRIA’s economic hub that has been the most prized and fiercely contested city
throughout the Syrian conflict. Since Thursday, after the government recaptured
most of the city, at least 6,000 civilians including rebels and at least 2,700
children left ALEPPO but the UN believes tens of thousands of people remain
trapped in east ALEPPO and warns that children there are in danger of death. Unfortunately,
the evacuation of east ALEPPO was halted when Syrian rebels were accused of
failing to respect a deal to lift their own siege of two pro-government towns. As
a friendly reminder, since the Syrian army’s assault against rebel held ALEPPO
began in late September, RUSSIAN and SYRIAN government bombardments have killed
more than 500 people, including over 100 children while injuring over 3,000.
In my opinion, Turkey’s participation in the military battle against
ISIS is a positive addition to the ALLIANCE albeit Turkey’s negative stance
against the PKK which in my opinion is currently unwarranted and deteriorating.
However, with the recent majority victory by the governing AKP and President
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, it appears that Turkey’s future is heading for more war
and bloodshed. Unfortunately, the governing AKP and President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan have chosen the path of war with the PKK as opposed to diplomacy via
the KURDISH HDP political party which secured close to 11% during recent
Turkish elections. Therefore, in my opinion, the governing AKP and President
Recep Tayyip Erdogan will learn the hard way that nobody on the outside world
looking in is stupid but rather everyone chooses to close their eyes and allow
Turkey to continue with its ethnic cleansing campaign of the KURDS in exchange
for Turkey signing a deal with the European Union (EU) to stem the flow of
refugees arriving in Greece. In exchange for reducing human trafficking and
improving living conditions for 2.5 million refugees within its borders, Turkey
will receive Euro 3 billion in financial aid in return, the possibility of
visa-free travel for its citizens, and a reopening of EU membership talks. In
my opinion, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the governing AKP will learn the
hard way that the current failed “Coup D’État” exposes the deep discontent
within the TURKISH military ranks as the governing AKP and President Recep
Tayyip Erdogan persist with their quest to annihilate the HDP and the KURDS as
the AKP is converting itself into a majority fascist regime with its house
cleaning exercises whereby virtually all dissidents have been fired. In my
opinion, the recent European parliament vote to halt TURKEY’s EU accession backed
by a resolution condemning the TURKISH government’s disproportionate repressive
measures after the failed “Coup D’État” in July was long overdue as TURKEY has
demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt, with its repressive measures over all
opposition, that TURKEY does not share common values, morals, principals,
ethics and views as the EU such that TURKEY does not fit into the EU mould.
However, in my opinion, TURKEY still represents a major player on the European
economic stage such that the EU will nonetheless have to negotiate deals with
TURKEY as an independent NON-EU member country regarding the huge refugee
crisis. In my opinion, in exchange for reducing human trafficking and improving
living conditions for 2.5 million refugees within its borders, TURKEY should
only receive Euro 1.5 billion, half of the initial proposed 3 billion, in
financial aid along with visa-free travel for its citizens who do not pose any
significant risks outside of TURKISH borders. Therefore, I do not understand
why TURKEY is shocked by AUSTRIA exercising its veto power to suspend TURKISH
ascension into the EU. In my opinion, TURKEY should only be shocked by the
failure of the EU to grant TURKISH citizens visa-free travel throughout Europe
as in my opinion this is a critical element for TURKISH assimilation with EU
policies. That is, TURKISH citizens, but in particular those from the governing
AKP should be encouraged to visit EU member countries to see for themselves how
democratic principals are applied in practice to opposition figures, journalists
and government officials. In my opinion, TURKISH President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
and the governing AKP are like FASCIST alcoholics whereby they do not see that
they have a problem which is unacceptable for EU ascension such that TURKEY
must either choose EU meetings, like Alcoholics Anonymous (A&A), to
rehabilitate its Fascist views or accept exclusion from the EU. However, the EU
should still continue to work together with TURKEY on all other issues
concerning both parties because TURKEY is still a major player in the region
regardless of its differing views as concerns democratic principals.
Moving
on to IRAQ, the recent successful attacks on ISIS by IRAQI security forces in
MOSUL, has clearly sent the message to ISIS that it is just a matter of time
until the ISIS Empire in MOSUL dies. However, the IRAQI led troops on the
ground are essentially forced to fight ISIS style, which is slow and brutal for
any other type of heavy artillery attack on ISIS, will result in significant
collateral damage in terms of human casualties. Unfortunately ISIS has managed
to set new rules of war, with complete and utter disregard for the laws of war
as promulgated by the GENEVA convention, which is essentially that there are no
rules other than the dirtiest player in the game wins. Thus, the world finds
itself going backwards to the days of Barbarian,
Neanderthal, Self-Centered, Egotistical, Narcissistic, Masochistic, Sadistic,
Idiosyncratic, Sociopathic and Psychopathic maniacs. Furthermore, with recent
advances by IRAQI and ALLIED troops, industrial-scale weapons manufacturing
capabilities of the ISIS group have now been revealed of a highly organized and
sophisticated nature relying on a robust and reliable supply chain from across
the border in TURKEY. Therefore, in my
opinion, ISIS’s loss of ground around MOSUL whereby they have been squeezed
into the city center means that ISIS has lost its ability to manufacture
weapons on an industrial scale. However, in my opinion, ISIS has likely already
moved most of its senior weapons experts out of MOSUL and into their territory
across the border in SYRIA so the threat of industrial scale weapons
manufacturing still exists. On a positive note, any significant supply route
from TURKEY into MOSUL has been cut off or seriously restricted so that ISIS
would have to cross KURDISH territory where KURDISH militia units are among the
strongest ALLIED forces forcing ISIS back into the center of MOSUL. In my
opinion, assuming
that the KURDISH peshmerga, IRAQI army, SHIITE militia and some SUNNI militia
forces continue to overlook their differences and stick together, ISIS will
inevitably be decimated in IRAQ, although ISIS will likely survive as an
incognito terrorist organization throughout the world. In my opinion, with ISIS
inevitably nearing its downfall in IRAQ, IRAQI security forces need to be
prepared for a different kind of war against ISIS, shifting away from ground
offensives to intelligence work and surgical airstrikes to counter an expected
move by ISIS away from holding territory and back to a more terrorist role of a
dispersed underground terror organization. In my opinion, ISIS is already laying
the groundwork for a new terrorist strategy of hiding in remote areas, carrying
out attacks in IRAQ and abroad and resorting to organized crime to bankroll future
operations.
Moving
on to SYRIA, the latest news that the SYRIAN government forces have recaptured most
of the former rebel stronghold of east ALEPPO in an offensive that has left
bodies in the streets and sparked global outrage seems to have sucked out all
of the air from ALEPPO for some sort of power sharing arrangement. As tens of
thousands of civilians streamed out of ALEPPO's east, the prospect for peace
diminished rapidly as tens of thousands of people remained trapped in east
ALEPPO as the evacuation was halted when Syrian rebels were accused of failing
to respect a deal to lift their own siege of two pro-government towns. In my
opinion, ALEPPO is now a literal hell on earth such that at a minimum it is
critical for a resumption of the evacuation regardless of any remaining hard
line factions of rebel resistance that refuse to relinquish certain minor
territories in the grand scheme of ALEPPO. At the end of the day, with fewer
rebel factions, no refuelling possible and the RUSSIAN backing of SYRIAN
government forces, the rebellion finds itself today disintegrating before
everybodies’ eyes. Therefore, in my opinion, the current situation in ALEPPO is
deplorable as innocent civilians are living in a literal hell on earth as the
entire city is covered in blood with diminishing food, necessities and basic
supplies while innocent civilians continue to die. Ultimately, it is because of
this battle for ALEPPO that ISIS is able to survive as the ASSAD regime with the support of RUSSIA and
IRAN has managed to slaughter their way back to legitimacy. Therefore, although the rebels’ defeat
was inevitable under the existing conditions, the responsibility for the
brutality in ALEPPO still lies with the ASSAD regime and its allies, RUSSIA and
IRAN. That is, all the dirty blood and atrocities committed in ALEPPO can never
be washed away from the hands of the ASSAD regime, RUSSIA and IRAN as entire neighbourhoods
have been reduced to rubble and dust with civilians being executed like sheep
while the world watched horrific violations of international law but could only
weep.
In summary, I refer to “World Peace Lennon Ivan Style – Part 225” as the
belief that ISIS is evil such that the MOSUL victory is critical to ISIS
decimation but ASSAD regime with the
support of RUSSIA and IRAN has managed to slaughter their way back to legitimacy in ALEPPO.
