Russian Ambassador Assassinated: Retaliation, But By Whom?By Tony Cartalucci The gunman, identified as a former Turkish police officer, flashed the familiar one finger gesture used by terrorist organizations operating in neighboring Syria including by Jabhat Al Nusra and the self-proclaimed Islamic State while shouting, according to the Guardian: Dont forget Aleppo. Dont forget Syria. Unless our towns are secure, you wont enjoy security. Only death can take me from here. Everyone who is involved in this suffering will pay a price. The attack coincided with an alleged security incident near Americas embassy in Ankara, characterized by the US Embassy as a shooting, though it may be in reference to the actual assassination. Western newspapers, however, including the Daily Mail, the UK Express, and The Sun attempted to portray the announcement as a separate incident. This may be a deliberate attempt to portray the US as a victim in tandem with Russia, to divert suspicion away from US involvement. US President Barack Obama, US policymakers and pundits, as well as US Senators for the past week have vowed retaliation against Russia for alleged hacking during the 2016 US presidential election. These threats take place against a wider backdrop of increasingly unhinged outbursts made by Western politicians, pundits, and policymakers amid frustration in advancing their global agenda versus a reemerging Russia and a rising China. The Guardian in an article published just this week titled, Barack Obama promises retaliation against Russia over hacking during US election, would state: Barack Obama has warned that the US will retaliate for Russian cyberattacks during the presidential election. I think there is no doubt that when any foreign government tries to impact the integrity of our elections we need to take action, Obama said. And we will at a time and place of our own choosing. Some of it may be explicit and publicised; some of it may not be. Articles like the International Business Times How Can The US Retaliate Against Russias Hacking? Here Are 6 Possible Moves, would list possible forms retaliation could take, including: Cyberattack on Russian networks or infrastructure; Release damaging information about Vladimir Putin; Target offshore accounts; Place malware inside Russian espionate networks; Interfere in Russian politics Economic sanctions. However, it has been noted by many analysts, including those within the US own foreign policy circles, that Americas ability to retaliate with cyberattacks against Russia in such a manner would range from futile, to even galvanizing the Russian people further behind the Kremlin. The New York Times in an article titled,Obama Confronts Complexity of Using a Mighty Cyberarsenal Against Russia, would note: But while Mr. Obama vowed on Friday to send a clear message to Russia as both a punishment and a deterrent, some of the options were rejected as ineffective, others as too risky. If the choices had been better, one of the aides involved in the debate noted recently, the president would have acted by now. In all likelihood, an attempted counter cyberattack would have ended in further humiliation and isolation for the United States ruling circles. The cold-blooded assassination of a Russian ambassador in the heart of Turkey, however, is a very effective retaliation, not only for Russias role in balancing against the Western medias influence, effectively undermining the Wests monopoly over global public perception, but also for confounding US geopolitical objectives across the Middle East particularly in Syria, and particularly in the aftermath of Aleppos liberation. The assassination a crime and even an act of war by any account was apparently carried out by a militant drawn from the ranks of terrorist organizations armed, trained, and funded by the United States and its regional allies, including Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and even Turkey. And despite this fact, should the US be involved in the assassination, it would be difficult to prove. And even if it was proven, it would be difficult to convince the global public that the US would make the jump from very publicly considering benign cyberattacks for the past week to assassinating a foreign diplomat. Beyond simply sending a message as US policymakers sought to do it also undermines alleged progress made between Ankara and Moscow regarding the formers role in the ongoing proxy war with Syria. The assassination strains any such progress, even threatening to rollback gains painfully made since Turkeys downing of a Russian warplane over Syria in November of 2015. While evidence is still forthcoming regarding the assassination, the US through its own insistence on publicly and repeatedly threatening Moscow with retaliation has made itself one of the primary suspects behind the brutal killing. Considering the US role in creating, arming, funding, and directing terrorists across the region for years the US is responsible indirectly at the very least. Tony Cartalucci, Bangkok-based geopolitical researcher and writer, especially for the online magazineNew Eastern Outlook. Domestic enemies inside the occult of the Usurped Ztates want ww3 to start before the Trumpster admin take their seat at the trough. the assassination: carried out by a militant drawn from the ranks of terrorist organizations Thats a leap! All we know so far is Mevlut Altintas was a police officer and Erdogan is pressuring the Turkish Parliament to pass legislation currently up for a vote that will allow him to rule Turkey by DECREE, permanently in the manner of a dictator. Was Altintas a programmed assassin to get this legislation passed? Cartalucci never acknowledges the big NWO tentacles in China and Russia, writing with a skewed lens for New Eastern Outlook. Does that outlook include Chinas Social Credit scores and internet censorship? Thats all we know and it was filmed so it was not a made up story. But whos involved we will have to wait for some more evidence. Usually most terrorist attacks they know within a day who they are looking for if he had any accomplices and who was the guy that fired a few bullets outside the US embassy etc, was he part of it? Did they arrest him? The police have arrested his parents and sister and a flatmate and will they find some ISIS flags in hiis home like they always do on previous attempts? But no good speculating and lets hope no convincing evidence gets planted like so many others leaving the passports etc. Yes, exactly, youre making my point well insofar as we cant know the true motivethus Cartalucci makes a big leap consistent with his strong bias. Whether the shooter was a programmed assassin or a brainwashed jihadist, either way, the elites use the strategy of tension they engineer to move their totalitarian agenda towards the goal post. Thats whats missing in the framing here.Erdogan about to rule with an iron fist is a big deal. Two months ago, Chinas President Xi was given Maos old title Core Leader and more power to rule over the Central Committee with an iron first. Scary stuff. Russias retaliation should be easy. Just keep annihilating U.S. funded scumbags in Syria and elsewhere. Open season. The global war on terror will never endN Rockefeller telling Russo before 9/11. TPTB planned this nightmare before some people reading A. Post were born. .Hence, the reason Chinas President Xi is now claiming hundreds to thousand of Uighurs are streaming into Syria to join ISIS?.expecting some to return back to China to become domestic terrorists. China is joining the war theater sending military assets for training purposes (btwtimed two months after it was reported Chinese troops will play a much bigger role in the UN blue helmets brigades). After Aleppo is Idliba globalist shell game?
