World Peace “Lennon Ivan Style” – Part 209

World Peace “Lennon Ivan Style” – Part 209: 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, August 28, 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 as TURKISH forces vowed to remain in Syria for as long as it takes to cleanse the border of ISIS and KURDISH militants after a truck bombing by KURDISH militias killed at least 11 police officers. The suicide attack at a police headquarters came two days after TURKEY launched its first major military incursion into Syria to drive ISIS out of the border area while preventing KURDISH militias from seizing ground in the aftermath of the TURKISH offensive. An alliance of 23 KURDISH parties in Syria condemned the TURKISH operation and called for a complete withdrawal of all TURKISH forces from the country as they accused TURKEY of trying to occupy Syria under the false self-created pretence of fighting terrorism. Moving on to Iraq, Iraqi forces, backed by US led coalition air strikes and paramilitary fighters on the ground have pushed ISIS from QAYYARAH, a northern IRAQI town considered strategic for any future offensive against ISIS’s last major stronghold of MOSUL. This strike is another successful demonstration of ISIS defenses crumbling fast with an offensive for the city of MOSUL, ISIS’s last major stronghold in Iraq, likely to occur by the end of the current year. In summary, if the battle goes well, the defeat of ISIS’s self-proclaimed caliphate in Iraq, at least in terms of the territory it controls, is on the horizon. Moving on to Syria, US Secretary of State, John Kerry, and his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, achieved clarity on the path forward in Syria but still have “narrow issues” to resolve. In summary, RUSSIA and the US held talks in Geneva to try to find a way of reviving a cessation of hostilities that faltered months ago albeit the fact that they have been unable to reach any peace deal since. The talks between the RUSSIANS and the US comes as the DAMASCUS suburb of DARAYYA in SYRIA was evacuated after a four-year siege by the Syrian government forces under their commander and chief, Syrian President, Bashar al-Assad. 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 TURKISH operations in Syria this week with the ultimate aim of driving ISIS out of the border area while preventing KURDISH militias from seizing ground in the aftermath is unwarranted as the KURDISH militia were doing just fine on their own in taking out ISIS such that TURKISH involvement was a unilateral decision, once again, to annihilate the KURDS. Therefore, I agree with the 23 KURDISH parties in Syria who condemned the TURKISH operation and called for a complete withdrawal of all TURKISH forces from the country as TURKEY is looking for an opportunity to occupy Syria under the false self-created pretence of fighting terrorism. Altough I do not condone the KURDISH militia suicide attack at a police headquarters that came two days after TURKEY launched its military incursion, this is just another unfortunate example of the reality of war whereby for every action, there is an equal and opposing reaction, such that the underdogs will tend to resort to any and all means to release pent-up frustration and steam. Moving on to Iraq, following the recapture of FALLUJAH last month, Iraqi forces have now gained the momentum with their recent successful liberation of QAYYARAH from ISIS rule which is a northern IRAQI town considered strategic for any future offensive against ISIS’s last major stronghold of Mosul. Therefore, ISIS now finds itself on the defense as IRAQI forces are planning operations aimed at a full fledge ground assault on MOSUL which has been held by ISIS since June of 2014. In my opinion, ISIS is still a force to be reckoned with such that the looming battle for MOSUL will be the bloodiest, deadliest and wildest yet in IRAQ. However, 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. Moving on to Syria, the Syrian government and Russian forces continuance to pound the FSA rebels without relent while the rebels refuse to surrender and manage to withstand the onslaught while seeking spiral revenge, has created a formula for disaster as ALEPPO is on the verge of being completely leveled. Therefore, the RUSSIAN and US held talks in Geneva to try to find a way of reviving a cessation of hostilities that faltered months ago, should be seen as a welcomed step in the right direction. In summary, the current reality in Syria is that when there are equal and opposing firing powers, neither party truly has any real competitive advantage, such that it is better to compromise as opposed to entering into never ending bombardments from both sides. Unfortunately, it is only ISIS that really benefits from the never-ending rage ensuing between the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and President Bashar al-Assad dominating autocratic reign. In summary, I refer to “World Peace Lennon Ivan Style – Part 209” as the belief that although ISIS really gains by strikes between President Bashar al-Assad and the rebel FSA, only when RUSSIA and the US agree to a compromise will sustainable peace rise and hostilities subside.

World Peace “Lennon Ivan Style” – Part 208

World Peace “Lennon Ivan Style” – Part 208: 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, August 21, 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 two weeks 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 as more than 40,000 people have now been detained and over 20,000 arrested since the coup attempt on July 15. Although many of them have been released, over 5,000 still remain in custody. In addition, over 80,000 civil servants have been suspended from their duties while over 5,000 have been dismissed. All Parties have been accused of having links to Pennsylvania based TURKSIH cleric Fetullah Gulen who the TURKISH government claims masterminded the coup attempt although Fetullah Gulen has denied any involvement. Moving on to IRAQ, the oil infrastructure of ISIS on which ISIS depends for its survival took another strike as U.S. led ALLIANCE forces struck a convoy of ISIS tankers in the province of NINEVEH where all 25 tankers were destroyed and 12 ISIS soldiers were killed. This strike is another successful demonstration of ISIS defenses crumbling fast with an offensive for the city of MOSUL, ISIS’s last major stronghold in Iraq, likely to occur by the end of the current year. In summary, if the battle goes well, the defeat of ISIS’s self-proclaimed caliphate in Iraq, at least in terms of the territory it controls, is on the horizon. Moving on to SYRIA, two American F-22 fighter jets on patrol over HASAKAH flew within a mile of two Syrian SU-24 fighter jets and encouraged the Syrian Air Force to leave. This is another close encounter that comes amid Syrian warplanes attacking Kurdish positions in the surrounding areas. The Kurdish forces that are key US allies were forced to withdraw from their positions as a result of the Syrian Air Force bombing campaign. 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 of the current week whereby virtually all dissidents have been fired. In my opinion, the current “Witch Hunt” underway in TURKEY has all the characteristics of an ethnic cleansing campaign whereby either you are a member of the AKP or you are considered to be an outlaw. Furthermore, the current “Witch Hunt” in TURKEY has all the characteristics of a Fascist regime whereby you either swear allegiance to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan or you are considered to be a traitor who deserves capital punishment. Therefore, in my opinion, the root of the underlying unrest in TURKEY has its origins in the iron clad fist rule of the governing AKP and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan whereby no opposition is acceptable and no dissidents are tolerated. Unfortunately, the governing AKP and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan fail to realize that the tighter they squeeze the screws, the more anger and resentment that is brewed leading to a climax of anger induced explosions of rebels with nothing more to loose. Moving on to Iraq, following the recapture of FALLUJAH last month, Iraqi forces have now gained the momentum with recent successful strikes on a convoy of ISIS tankers in the province of NINEVEH whereby all 25 tankers were destroyed and 12 ISIS soldiers were killed. As a friendly reminder, ISIS used to earn over $30 million monthly from its oil businesses that has perpetually diminished over time, due to successful ALLIANCE strikes, to around $15 million a month. The key point to note is that ISIS oil revenues in IRAQ have been cut by almost 90% due to successful attacks of oil targets by IRAQI forces. Therefore, ISIS now finds itself on the defense as IRAQI forces are planning operations aimed at a full fledge ground assault on MOSUL which has been held by ISIS since June of 2014. In my opinion, ISIS is still a force to be reckoned with such that the looming battle for MOSUL will be the bloodiest, deadliest and wildest yet in IRAQ. However, 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. Moving on to Syria, the close encounter between two American F-22 fighter jets that flew within a mile of two Syrian SU-24 fighter jets is a clear indication that tensions are running at an all time high as those factions opposing Syrian President, Bashar al-Assad feel the effects of Bashar al-Assad forces willing to do whatever it takes to retain control. However, in my opinion, it is the situation in ALEPPO that is most disgusting, despicable, disturbing and demented. That is, the Syrian government and Russian forces continuance to pound the FSA rebels without relent while the rebels refuse to surrender and manage to withstand the onslaught while seeking spiral revenge, has created a formula for disaster as ALEPPO is on the verge of being completely leveled. In my opinion, the next time the Syrian Air Force strikes innocent civilians in the ALEPPO area, there needs to be a retributory strike by the ALLIANCE to bring down the Syrian fighter jet responsible as the Syrian Air Force has crossed the line in ALEPPO and thus needs to be held accountable for their actions. Althoguh the current conflict in SYRIA between forces loyal to Syrian Bashar al-Assad and the Free Syrian Army (FSA) works in favor of ISIS, the ALLIANCE cannot turn a blind eye on the atrocities committed in ALEPPO by the existing Syrian regime such that if the Syrian Air Force continues to strike innocent civilians in ALEPPO, the ones behind the guns must be brought to justice by crashing to the ground on their bum bums. In summary, I refer to “World Peace Lennon Ivan Style – Part 208” as the belief that although ISIS gains by strikes between President Bashar al-Assad and rebel FSA, ones behind the guns of innocent civilians in ALEPPO must be brought to justice by crashing to the ground on their bum bums.

World Peace “Lennon Ivan Style” – Part 207:

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, August 14, 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 two weeks 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 as some 5,000 state employees have been fired, including over 3,000 members of the military, and over 77,000 have been suspended for suspected links to exiled cleric, Fethullah Gulen, in the purge since last month's failed coup in Turkey. In response, exiled cleric, Fethullah Gulen condemned the coup attempt as treason, claiming that even if at the helm of the TURKISH government, there are people who would like to replace, suppress and oppress him at the level of blood-sucking vampires, Fethullah Gulen claims that he would not remove them with anti-democratic means. Furthermore, exiled cleric, Fethullah Gulen claims that Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s plan to lodge a formal extradition request from the U.S. to TURKEY is politically motivated rather than legally sound and therefore such extradition request will not get much attention in the U.S. where the rule of law still reigns supreme. Moving on to Iraq, ISIS defenses have been crumbling fast with an offensive for the city of MOSUL, ISIS’s last major stronghold in Iraq, likely to occur by the end of the current year. In summary, if the battle goes well, the defeat of ISIS’s self-proclaimed caliphate in Iraq, at least in terms of the territory it controls, is on the horizon. However, new problems, and potentially new conflicts, may emerge given that for the past two years, KURDISH peshmerga, IRAQI army, SHIITE militia and some SUNNI militia forces have largely overlooked their long-standing differences to confront the menace of ISIS together. Unfortunately, their feuds and grievances, over vital issues such as the distribution of power, land, money and oil, have never been resolved. Moving on to Syria, MANBIJ residents who were finally freed from the stranglehold of ISIS occupation celebrated in the streets, cutting off their beards, burning their hijabs and smoking cigarettes given that they were not allowed to do any of these things during the ISIS two-year rule over the city. As a result of the ISIS decimation in MANBIJ, jubilation broke out in many neighborhoods after ISIS militants lost control to U.S. backed Free Syrian Army (FSA) rebels. Meanwhile, at least 90 people were killed in air strikes by Syrian government and Russian forces across Syria with most people being killed around Aleppo where over 300,000 civilians continue to be trapped in the Free Syrian Army (FSA) rebel held territories. 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 of the current week whereby virtually all dissidents have been fired. In my opinion, exiled cleric, Fethullah Gulen hit the nail on the head when he stated that even if at the helm of the TURKISH government, there are people who would like to replace, suppress and oppress him at the level of blood-sucking vampires, the removal of the TURKISH majority under the banner of the AKP cannot be achieved with anti-democratic means. In my opinion, exiled cleric, Fethullah Gulen is too sharp to have been the mastermind behind the failed “Coup D’État” on TURKEY as it is obvious to me that the governing AKP and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan could not be dislodged from power by the minority such I believe that the failed “Coup D’État” was executed by over zealous members of the inner circle of the governing AKP who could no longer stomach the fascist attacks by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his majority AKP on all minorities. Therefore, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the governing AKP need to wake up and realize that the tighter they squeeze the minorities and make them bleed, the more poisonous the venom seed of ultimate retributory deeds. Moving on to Iraq, following the recapture of FALLUJAH last month, Iraqi forces have now gained the momentum and are thus planning operations aimed at a full fledge ground assault on MOSUL which has been held by ISIS since June of 2014. In my opinion, ISIS is still a force to be reckoned with such that the looming battle for MOSUL will be the bloodiest, deadliest and wildest yet in IRAQ. However, 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. Therefore, it is critical for the four key players in the war against ISIS in IRAQ to stick together until the very end at which time there will be an urgent need for a power sharing arrangement to avert a never ending spiral bloodshed effect. Moving on to Syria, as a result of the ISIS decimation in MANBIJ, jubilation in the streets, cutting off beards, burning of hijabs and smoking of cigarettes that were not allowed during the ISIS two-year rule over the city were prevalent upon its liberation. In my opinion, this is a clear sign that most people succumbed to ISIS rule for fear of death, while at their core they were in actuality simple normal people in distress, dealing with decapitation stress. In regards to Syrian government and Russian forces across Syria killing over 90 people in airstrikes around Aleppo where over 300,000 civilians continue to be trapped in Free Syrian Army (FSA) rebel held territories, in my opinion, the situation in ALEPPO is disgusting, despicable, disturbing and demented. That is, the Syrian government and Russian forces continuance to pound the FSA rebels without relent while the rebels refuse to surrender and manage to withstand the onslaught while seeking spiral revenge, has created a formula for disaster as ALEPPO is on the verge of being completely leveled. In summary, I refer to “World Peace Lennon Ivan Style – Part 207” as the belief that ISIS is still a thorn in everybody’s side due to the inability of Bashar al-Assad Syrian regime and FSA rebels to coexist which brews never ending spiral bloodshed effect allowing ISIS to stand erect.

World Peace “Lennon Ivan Style” – Part 206:

World Peace “Lennon Ivan Style” – Part 206: 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, August 7, 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 two weeks 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 was cleaning house this week again while lawyers for US-based TURKISH cleric, Fethullah Gulen say they fear an attack on his life in the wake of the failed coup attempt on July 15, 2016 in TURKEY. It is important to note that TURKEY has issued an arrest warrant for TURKISH cleric, Fethullah Gulen, accusing him of orchestrating the failed coup attempt and demanding the US to extradite him to Turkey although Mr. Fethullah Gulen denies any involvement. However, the governing AKP and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan have cracked down heavily with an internal purge of Mr. Fethullah Gulen’s supporters in the wake of the failed coup attempt. Meanwhile, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan traveled to Russia to meet Russian President, Vladimir Putin, in a trip the governing AKP may hope will give their fellow NATO, European Union and the West food for thought albeit tense relationships with Russia after Russia imposed trade sanctions on TURKEY over nine months ago after TURKEY downed a Russian fighter jet near the Syrian border. Moving on to Iraq, about 400 U.S. soldiers will deploy to IRAQ as part of the ALLIANCE military's effort to set up a logistics base at an airfield south of MOSUL. These 400 U.S. soldiers are among the 560 additional U.S. troops that President Barack Obama approved last month. The U.S. troops are establishing a logistics hub at QAYARA air base that will assist Iraqi forces that are preparing to retake the northern city of MOSUL from ISIS who seized the city in 2014. As a friendly reminder, the U.S. troop authorization for Iraq is around 4,650 while there are about 3,800 U.S. forces currently in Iraq. Nonetheless, ISIS militants captured over 3,000 people this week, while killing over 10 of them, who were displaced from their homes and desperately trying to flee the conflict zones of northern IRAQ. Moving on to Syria, U.S. backed forces from the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and the strong Kurdish YPG militia and Arab fighters ousted ISIS from the SYRIAN city of MANBIJ that represented the last stretch of the Syrian-Turkish border controlled by ISIS with about 90 percent of the city of MANBIJ cleared of ISIS while battles continued to rage on with pockets of ISIS resistance. Meanwhile, battles for the city of ALEPPO raged on between the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and forces loyal to current President Bashar al-Assad as the Syrian rebels claimed to have captured all of a strategically important military base in the northern part of the city. However, President Bashar al-Assad disputed the claim, saying that government forces pushed the rebel fighters back killing hundreds of them in the process. 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 of the current week whereby virtually all dissidents have been dishonorably discharged. Although the AKP and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan have intiated a purge of all of the opposition in TURKEY with the focus now on all of TURKISH cleric, Fethullah Gulen’s supporters, the AKP will never be able to silence the resistance because as TURKISH history clearly depicts, over the years the names may have changed but the resistance to fascist rule still remains the same. Therefore, I once again urge the governing AKP and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to seek professional psychiatric counseling to assist them with the opening of their eyes that what the AKP considers to be above board behavior is very similar to the times when Adolf Hitler declared himself as a savior. As a friendly reminder, Adolf Hitler was a German politician who was the leader of the Nazi Party, Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945, and Leader of Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1945. As dictator of Nazi Germany, he initiated World War II in Europe with the invasion of Poland in September 1939 and was a central figure of the Holocaust. In regards to the governing AKP and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan now courting Russia, who better as a mistress to the West than the Russian opposition that gives NATO, the European Union and the West a whole lot of stress. Moving on to Iraq, the deployment of an additional 400 U.S. soldiers to IRAQ as part of the ALLIANCE military's effort to set up a logistics base at an airfield south of MOSUL is not only necessary but critical as IRAQI forces prepare to launch an anti-ISIS offensive in MOSUL, its northern IRAQI stronghold. It is important to note that following the recapture of FALLUJAH last month, Iraqi forces have now gained the momentum and are thus planning operations aimed at a full fledge ground assault on MOSUL which has been held by ISIS since June of 2014. As a friendly reminder, MOSUL was once the home of over two million people but the current population has been estimated at around half that figure as the number of those fleeing their homes increases steadily in fear of the upcoming ultimate battle for MOSUL, ISIS’s stronghold in northern Iraq. In my opinion, ISIS is still a force to be reckoned with as ISIS militants showed as they captured over 3,000 people this week, while killing over 10 of them, who were displaced from their homes and desperately trying to flee the conflict zones of northern IRAQ. In my opinion, the looming battle for MOSUL will be the bloodiest, deadliest and wildest yet in IRAQ as MOSUL represents the head of the ISIS serpent in IRAQ such that the ALLIANCE needs to take their time before initiating the ultimate strike as once the sergeants give the marching orders to go, there is no turning back other than in a casket draped with the honor of the soldiers halo. Moving on to Syria, the victory by the U.S. backed forces from the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and Kurdish YPG militia over ISIS in the SYRIAN city of MANBIJ represents a strategic victory as the ALLIANCE has effectively taken over control of the last stretch of the Syrian-Turkish border controlled by ISIS such that ISIS’s last remaining supply line routes have effectively been closed. Therefore, over time ISIS will feel the effects of constraints, as ISIS will no longer be able to cross the TURKSIH border for replenishments that will make ISIS weaker until they ultimately faint. However, as the battle for ALEPPO rages on between the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and forces loyal to current President Bashar al-Assad, the situation on the ground 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 basis supplies while innocent civilians continue to die. Ultimately, it is because of this battle for ALEPPO that ISIS is able to survive, as the crimes in ALEPPO are comparable to those committed elsewhere by the ISIS side except that the world has chosen to close a blind eye. In summary, I refer to “World Peace Lennon Ivan Style – Part 206” as the belief that ISIS is still able to survive as crimes in ALEPPO that are comparable to ISIS side have seen the world close a blind eye.
