<h2>This morning's key headlines from <a href="http://www.generationaldynamics.com">GenerationalDynamics.com</a>:</h2>

<li>Thailand army coup feared in face of massive anti-government protests</li>
<li>Chechen terrorist Omar Shishani leads al-Qaeda to victories in Syria</li>

<p></p>
<h2><strong>Thailand army coup feared in face of massive anti-government protests</strong></h2>
<p></p>
<p>The racial split in Thailand's population between the light-skinned people of the Thai-Chinese elite minority and the dark-skinned people of the indigenous Thai-Thai laborer majority is potentially reaching a crisis point, as tens or hundreds of thousands of Thai-Chinese anti-government flag-waving "yellow shirt" protesters have blocked major roads around the center of Bangkok.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban of the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) vowed on Monday to shutdown Bangkok indefinitely:</p>
<p></p>
<blockquote style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;"><p>Today will be written in Thai history... We will shut down the city. We will do it all days and we will do it everyday until we win. No negotiations. No compromise.</p>
</blockquote>
<p></p>
<p>Thaugsuban is calling on his supporters to boycott the planned February 2 election, which he knows his party will lose because his elite racial group is in the minority. Instead, Thaugsuban is demanding that the prime minister resign and be replaced by an unelected "people's council," whose members are presumably to be chosen by Thaugsuban.</p>
<p></p>
<p>So far, the "red shirt" pro-government supporters have kept their rallies fairly small, but there are fears that that could change if it begins to appear that Thaugsuban might get his way. It's particularly ominous that Thaugsuban is calling for a boycott of the February 2 election, since the last time that happened in 2006, an army coup ousted the prime minister, Thai-Thai hero Thaksin Shinawatra, brother of the current prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The army is known to be strong on the side of Thaugsuban's elite minority and has shown willingness in the past to be violent to the red shirt protesters while excusing the yellow shirts. If there's violence between the red shirts and the yellow shirts, then the army may stage a coup once more, and that is presumably exactly what Thaugsuban wants, even though that could mean a lot more violence. <a href="http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/389389/suthep-vows-to-shutdown-bangkok-until-he-wins"><em>Bangkok Post</em></a> and <a href="http://www.nation.com.pk/international/14-Jan-2014/thai-opposition-protesters-launch-bangkok-shutdown">AP</a></p>
<p></p>
<h2><strong>Chechen terrorist Omar Shishani leads al-Qaeda to victories in Syria</strong></h2>
<p></p>
<p>The al-Qaeda-linked Islamic Emirate in Iraq and Syria/Sham/theLevant (ISIS or ISIL) killed as many as 100 anti-Assad activists in Syria over the weekend and took control of several cities. Al-Qaeda and Syria's president Bashar al-Assad have <a href="http://www.GenerationalDynamics.com/pg/xct.gd.e140111.htm#e140111">essentially become military allies</a>, fighting the Syrian anti-Assad militants.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The Syrian anti-Assad militants are the moderate Syrian National Coalition (SNC) and the salafist Jabhat al-Nusra. Both of these groups consist of actual Syrian citizens, and both are opposed to the al-Assad government.</p>
<p></p>
<p>ISIS consists mostly of foreign al-Qaeda-trained fighters and is being led by Abu Omar al-Shishani, a prominent jihadist leader from Chechnya and the most influential military leader in Syria in ISIS. The slaughter of dozens of activists in the SNC and al-Nusra over the weekend puts him squarely on the side of al-Assad's army.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Well, this is certainly a complex situation. Al-Qaeda terrorists are Sunni jihadists who consider Shia Muslims to be infidels or apostates. Al-Assad is Shia/Alawite and is being supported by the so-called "Shia crescent," consisting of Iran and Lebanon's Hezbollah. ISIS is also fighting the Shia government in Iraq. Jihadists in Chechnya are fighting the Orthodox Christian government of Russia which is providing an unlimited supply of heavy weapons to al-Assad. </p>
<p></p>
<p>So we have to assume that ISIS's love affair with al-Assad is not going to last forever.</p>
<p>In the meantime, the U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and the Russians are leading the effort to hold a "Syria Peace Conference" in Geneva on January 22. It's not known if any of the Syrian opposition groups will be there, or if Iran will be there; Israel certainly won't be there. ISIS's string of victories over the weekend makes it appear that that it will be the next in the list of John Kerry's failed peace conferences, peace agreements, and peace announcements, a list that seems to get longer every week.</p>

<p>These numbers are unnerving to a war-weary American public still licking its wounds from a <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/03/14/us-iraq-war-anniversary-idUSBRE92D0PG20130314" target="_hplink">$2 trillion</a>, 10-year quagmire in Iraq justified by <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/08/19/powell.un/" target="_hplink">lies</a> about alleged weapons of mass destruction. That public is profoundly <a href="http://www.gallup.com/poll/5392/trust-government.aspx" target="_hplink">distrustful</a> of its leaders who have achieved power in a system of, by, and for whichever interests have the most money.</p>
<p>The mere idea that politicians voting on matters of war and peace -- life and death -- could be influenced by contributions is the most perverted money in politics nightmare. You can be sure that senators voting 'yes' on Syria emphatically deny a quid pro quo with military industrial donors, saying that defense lobbyists give them money because they happen to agree on military matters, and because everyone on the Foreign Relations Committee gets more money from those industries. That's just how the status quo is.</p>
<p>But the status quo is the problem. Politicians should not be allowed to receive money from interests they regulate. Period. As soon as Foreign Relations Committee members take money from the very companies that stand to make millions from military action, we the people can no longer be unequivocally sure that they are making decisions purely on the merits of what's best for our nation.</p>
<p>Even if quid pro quo politics had no role in last week's Syria vote, the glaring problem is that 93 percent of the time, the political candidate with the <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2012/01/big-spender-always-wins.html" target="_hplink">most money wins</a>. Deep-pocketed interests know the game, so they spend millions on lobbying expenditures, contributions and PAC donations to support their favored candidates -- in this case military hawks who are more likely to support intervention. Can you blame them? They're playing by the rules we give them, and they are playing the system like a Stradivarius while raking in breathtaking profits.</p>

<p><em>Atmeh Camp, Syria, 2013 (author’s photo)</em></p>
<p><strong>September 9, 2013 by Ming Holden</strong></p>
<p><span>I am anti-war. That’s precisely why I support a US strike in Syria.</span></p>
<p>I took the above photo in Syria’s Atmeh refugee camp, but my encounters with Syrians began before I crossed the border earlier this summer. After flying into Istanbul in late June, I asked an Egyptian girl I met to give my information to any Syrians at her youth hostel. An email arrived in my inbox the next day from a man I’ll call Mohamed. ”I’m happy to chat,” he wrote, “but I’m not sure whether it will be helpful because I am not an activist.”</p>
<p>Something told me this young man had a lot to say, but wasn’t going to say it in emails. We met at Starbucks in Taksim, and I was late. Mohamed stood there, a thin, gentle, quiet young man of 20 years. He was with his friend, a portly Syrian who wore spectacles too. I apologized for keeping them waiting, and we climbed to a quiet table away from other people on the third floor, where there was some semblance of silence. It was only after I expressed grave concern over the human rights violations in Syria, including the chemical weapons attack earlier in June, and deep sadness that America hadn’t stepped in more forcefully, that Mohamed began to speak.</p>
<p>"If the world thought Syrians were humans," he said quietly, "something would have happened, someone would have helped. Yes, over a hundred people died from chemical weapons.

<p><em>When presidents fail, it is a public spectacle. In his rush into unprovoked war against Syria, President Obama overplayed his hand.

<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“<em>Obama will be back on the Syria warpath as soon as the proper false flag operations can be arranged.”</em></p>
<p>It was a strange speech, in which the real news was left for last, popping out like a Jack-in-the-Box after 11 minutes of growls and snarls and Obama’s bizarre whining about how unfair it is to be restrained from making war on people who have done you no harm. The president abruptly switched from absurd, lie-based justifications for war to his surprise announcement that, no, Syria’s turn to endure Shock and Awe had been postponed. The reader suddenly realizes that the diplomatic developments had been hastily cut and pasted into the speech, probably only hours before. Obama had intended to build the case for smashing Assad to an imperial peroration – a laying down of the law from on high. But his handlers threw in the towel, for reasons both foreign and domestic. Temporarily defeated, Obama will be back on the Syria warpath as soon as the proper false flag operations can be arranged.</p>

<p>The president’s roiling emotions, visible through his eyes, got in the way of his oratorical skills. But then, he didn’t have much material to work with, just an endless string of prevarications and half-truths strung almost randomly together. Obama, who was reluctantly asking permission from Congress to violate the most fundamental tenets of international law – permission that Congress is not empowered to give – framed Syria as a rogue nation because it has not signed a treaty on chemical weapons like “98 percent of humanity.” This makes Syria ripe for bombing. The president does not explain that Syria’s neighbors, Israel and Egypt – both U.S. allies – have also not signed the treaty. He does not suggest bombing Tel Aviv or Cairo.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“<em>He was already priming the public to accept Assad’s guilt the next time chemical weapons explode in Syria.”</em></p>
<p>Obama claims that the U.S. has proof that “Assad’s chemical weapons personnel prepared for an attack near an area where they mix sarin gas. They distributed gas masks to their troops. Then they fired rockets from a regime-controlled area into 11 neighborhoods that the regime has been trying to wipe clear of opposition forces.” Not a shred of evidence has been presented to back up this narrative – which, under the circumstances, tends to prove it is fiction. On the other hand, there are credible reports (everybody’s reports are more credible than the Americans), that rebels under <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/did-the-white-house-help-plan-the-syrian-chemical-attack/5347542">U.S. allied control</a></span> were told to prepare to go on the offensive following an American retaliation to a chemical attack that would be blamed on Assad’s forces – a story whose logic conforms to what actually occurred and answers the common sense question, Who profits?</p>
<p>Obama will not for long accept diplomatic delays in his war schedule. On Tuesday night, he was already priming the public to accept Assad’s guilt the next time chemical weapons explode in Syria. “If we fail to act,” said the president, “the Assad regime will see no reason to stop using chemical weapons.” American and allied secret services will gladly arrange a replay.</p>

<p>Why the US, UK, EU & Israel hate Syria</p>
<p>Adrian Salbuchi is a political analyst, author, speaker and radio/TV commentator in Argentina.</p>
<p>A young, soft-spoken girl living the Syrian tragedy spells it out with far more common sense, truth and honesty than powerful Western governments and their money-controlled mass media puppets.</p>
<p>Identifying herself only as “Syrian, Patriot, anti-Neocon, anti-NWO, anti-Zionist”, early last year she set up her own YouTube Channel (YouTube/User/SyrianGirlpartisan).</p>
<p>In a short (nine-minute) video she explains “eight reasons why the NWO (New World Order) hates Syria.” We would all do well to listen in…</p>
<p>Her ‘Top Eight Reasons Why They Hate Us’ is an excellent wrap-up, applicable to just about every self-respecting country in the world: no Rothschild-controlled Central Bank, no IMF debt, no genetically modified foods, oil and pipelines, anti-secret societies, anti-Zionism, secularism and nationalism.</p>
<p>Her brief message unravels as a sort of common sense manual which explains why the United States of America, the United Kingdom, the European Union (especially France) and Israel are so keen on destroying Syria, a country whose leadership just won’t bow down to the New World Order elites embedded deep inside the Western powers’ own public (government) and private (corporate/banking) power structures.</p>
<p>She describes these eight reasons succinctly and convincingly, giving the world much food for thought and should hopefully inspire deep soul-searching. Especially amongst the people of the US, UK, EU and Israel who are the only populations that can put very direct pressure on their elected politicians in Washington, London, Paris, Tel Aviv and other Western capitals, forcing them to stop behaving like global criminals gone berserk, and to start heeding the word of We the People, in a responsible and democratic manner.<br/> 8 reasons the New World Order hates Syria</p>
