“I mean, the reason Russia came in is because ISIL was getting stronger. Daesh was threatening the possibility of going to Damascus and so forth. And that’s why Russia came in. Because they didn’t want a Daesh government. And they supported Assad. And, and, uh, and we we know that this was growing. We were watching. We saw that, that Daesh was growing in strength. And we thought Assad was threatened. Uhh, we thought our, we could probably manage, uh, you know, that Assad might then negotiate. Instead of negotiating, you’ve got Assad and you’ve got Putin to support him.” – John Kerry
Leaked audio: Sec of State Kerry confirms US used ISIS to remove Syria’s Assad
‘Daesh was threatening to take Damascus. That’s why Russia came in. We saw it coming too, but thought we could use it to force Assad to negotiate…’ That is…
Motive unclear, however islamist rebels are clear beneficiaries .. The last air strike from Israel occurred when ISIS launched a rocket attack from Syrian territory .. This major air strike doesn’t seem to have been provoked by anyone .. Yet another escalation by an outside party ..

“With only days until Donald Trump takes office, the Obama administration on Thursday announced new rules that will let the NSA share vast amounts of private data gathered without warrant, court orders or congressional authorization with 16 other agencies, including the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Agency, and the Department of Homeland Security.”
“The change was in the works long before there was any expectation that someone like Trump might become president.”
“The last-minute adoption of the procedures is one of many examples of the Obama administration making new executive powers established by the Bush administration permanent, on the assumption that the executive branch could be trusted to police itself.”
“In 2014, The Intercept revealed that the NSA uses 12333 as a legal basis for an internal NSA search engine that spans more than 850 billion phone and internet records and contains the unfiltered private information of millions of Americans.”
“In 2014, a former state department official described NSA surveillance under 12333 as a “universe of collection and storage” beyond what Congress has authorized.”
“This massive database inevitably includes vast amount of American’s communications — swept up when they speak to people abroad, when they go abroad themselves, or even if their domestic communications are simply routed abroad.”
Obama Opens NSA’s Vast Trove of Warrantless Data to Entire Intelligence Community, Just in Time for Trump
One privacy activist responded: “This decision will be added to the timelines of the most significant expansions of domestic surveillance in the modern era.”

“Ex-MI6 officer Christopher Steele, 52, who is now a director of the London based Orbis Business Intelligence Ltd, is believed to have prepared the documents for Mr Trump’s Democratic and Republican opponents during the US presidential primary election, according to the Wall Street Journal.”
“Mr Steele was unavailable for comment when the Wall Street Journal tried to reach, although he later contacted the newspaper through an intermediary who told them that Mr Steele would not speak on the subject because it was “too hot”.”
“The co-director of Orbis, Christopher Burrows, 58, said he would not “confirm or deny” that their company produced the report.”

An former-British spy has been named as the man who compiled the dossier containing explosive, if unverified, allegations against Donald Trump.
