World Peace “Lennon Ivan Style” – Part 198:

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, June 5, 2016, Turkey continued with their aggressive siege of CIZRE, SILOPI, DIYARBAKIR and NUSAYBIN, predominantly KURDISH, converting a suburban area into a war zone whereby the Kurdistan Freedom Hawks, an armed group known by the Kurdish language acronym TAK, took their revenge and claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing in the Turkish city of ISTANBUL which killed 11 people. The attack destroyed a police bus in central ISTANBUL during the morning rush hour near the main tourist district, a major university and the mayor's office. The TAK said in an online statement that the attack was revenge for TURKISH army operations in the country's Kurdish-dominated southeastern region whereby the strike was carried out to counter all the savage attacks of the Turkish Republic in NUSAYBIN and SIRNAK and other places where the TURKISH army has carried out operations against the KURDISH fighters. Moving on to IRAQ, Iraqi military counterterrorism forces retook the neighborhood of SHUHADA, some 2 ½ miles from the city center of FALLUJA that is a symbolically important city, some 30 miles from Baghdad, that has been held by ISIS for more than two years whereby an estimated 30,000 to 40,000 civilians are believed to be trapped. However, ISIS militants opened fire on civilians trying to flee FALLUJAH, killing at least 30 people, most of whom were women and children. ISIS militants have told their soldiers that they have the choice to leave FALLUJAH under one condition, which is to not to take their families with them, and if they try to do so, ISIS will kill them. As a friendly reminder, ISIS still controls key strategic territory, most notably MOSUL, its northern IRAQI stronghold, and RAQQA, its de-facto capital in SYRIA. However, for the first time since the self-declared ISIS caliphate came into being, ISIS is under significant bombardment pressure and facing significant territorial losses in FALLUJA. Moving on to SYRIA, at least 12 people have been killed and 55 other people wounded in suicide bomb attacks on a suburb of DAMASCUS that is home to Syria's holiest Shia shrine whereby three ISIS militants, two carrying explosive belts and one with a car bomb, carried out the attacks in SAYYIDA ZEINAB, around 10 kilometers south of the city center. SAYYIDA ZEINAB, a predominantly Shia area, has been a frequent target of attacks by ISIS who were behind at least two other bombings in the district earlier this year that killed more than 150 people. 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 ethnic cleansing of the KURDISH minority by the dominant TURKISH majority cannot be justified on the basis of dominant personal, financial & political interests. That is, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the governing AKP cannot continue with their aggressive KURDISH ethnic cleansing campaign without repercussions as for every action there is ultimately a reaction like an automatic boomerang contraption. Although I do not condone the Kurdistan Freedom Hawks (TAK) revenge strike in the Turkish city of ISTANBUL which killed 11 people, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the governing AKP have fueled the rage of extremists, who cannot fight the powerful TURKISH army head to head, such that the only remaining viable option seems to be suicide bombings as a means to an end. Therefore, the path of military force adopted by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the governing AKP against the KURDISH minority is the path of war without any end, as the KURDISH minority will never surrender to the TURKS regardless of the number of TURKISH battalions that the AKP sends. In regards to IRAQ’s armed forces with the assistance of SHIA militias backed by the US led air force fighting ISIS for the city of FALLUJA, this city holds huge symbolic value as FALLUJA became a hotbed of SUNNI insurgency in the aftermath of Saddam Hussein’s toppling and was the subject of two large-scale offensives by the US military that failed. For that reason, ISIS is not giving up easily and as ISIS is faced with the strongest bombardments yet to oust it from FALLUJA, ISIS has mounted a violent fight back including the killing of innocent women and children to ensure that ISIS soldiers fight until death as the only means for ISIS soldiers to potentially once again see their families in the end. In my opinion, ISIS has persevered throughout the FALLUJA storm because of this psychotic manipulation of the mass whereby ISIS will kill the families of one of their own if they refuse to fight or choose to surrender to the oppositions’ throne. Therefore, ISIS is now entering a phase of fighting for its survival while it had previously coasted through a phase of conquering vast territories across both IRAQ and SYRIA when ALL opposition were silenced, fearing for their lives, with no viable options other than to run and hide. In regards to SAYYIDA ZEINAB, SYRIA whereby at least 12 people have been killed and 55 other people wounded in suicide bomb attacks on this suburb that is home to Syria's holiest Shia shrine, ISIS continues with its psychotic approach of inflicting devastating strikes at the city core whenever ISIS is attacked by ALLIANCE forces as a means to even the score. In my opinion, ISIS continues to demonstrate time and time again that there is nothing ISIS won’t do to survive until the end such that ISIS continues with retributory, no holds barred, revenge strikes as a means to reinforce the ISIS brand of Barbarian, Neanderthal, Self-Centered, Egotistical, Narcissistic, Masochistic, Sadistic, Idiosyncratic, Sociopathic and Psychopathic maniacs who will do whatever it takes to survive and continue to stand. In summary, I refer to “World Peace Lennon Ivan Style – Part 198” as the belief that ISIS continues with retributory, no holds barred, revenge strikes as a means to reinforce the ISIS brand that psychopaths will do whatever it takes to survive and continue to stand.
