Major Aleppo Battle not being covered by Western Media

Western media is giving very low coverage to a major episode in the war in Syria currently in progress in Aleppo. Anti-regime forces have initiated a major attack to break the siege around the east of the city, where around 300,000 people are trapped without fresh supplies.

There was also an attempt to capture a key artillery base controlled by the regime at Ramouseh. A 'no fly zone' has been attempted by burning old tires so that the resulting thick black smoke obstructs precise air attacks. Reuters is reporting the regime claiming that the attack has been repulsed.

Aleppo is one of Syria's major cities, which has the capability to be an alternate capital for Syria. The regime must maintain it at all costs and America and its allies are making full efforts to protect this city.

America is going to the extent of establishing a 'Joint Implementation Group' in Jordan to coordinate its military operations with Russia. This is a major concession that America was previously refusing.

America has been portraying itself in international public opinion as anti-regime while Russia and Iran are pro-regime. However, the severe danger to the regime in Aleppo is forcing America to reveal its support for the regime.

Anniversary of Hiroshima today

Japan today marks the 71st anniversary of the US atomic bombing of Hiroshima, followed 3 days later by the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. These were the only two nuclear attacks in history. Japan surrendered six days after the Nagasaki attack.

It is now openly known that America was already in negotiations for Japan's surrender, and so the attacks were entirely unnecessary for this. However, they were necessary, from America's point of view, to demonstrate American military might to the world.

America continues to build massive stocks of nuclear weapons and uses its rhetoric of disarmament only to discourage other countries from competing with it.

Since the decline of the Ottoman State from superpower status, the West has fallen into barbarity in warfare, the logical result of which is the development of weapons of mass destruction expertly designed to kill innocent civilians.

Only the return of the Righteous Islamic Khilafah "Caliphate" (Caliphate) on the method of Prophethood can restore sanity to the world and return concepts of honour and chivalry to warfare.

Olympic Games are a Promotion of Capitalism

The 2016 Olympic games beginning today are a celebration of Capitalism that are designed to bring huge profits to Western media companies and benefit the multinationals through widespread advertising of their brands. Government officials in host countries can also benefit. But the people of these countries face only further suffering as government budgets are emptied to pay for facilities that they don't need and populations are displaced to make way for these facilities.

According to an article on motherjones.com, for example, the estimated cost of the current Olympic Games in Brazil is estimated at $20 billion as compared to less than $1 billion spent on the Zika virus that has caused devastation in Brazil this year. Furthermore, almost 80,000 people were removed from Rio de Janeiro in the eight years since the games there were announced, of which 4,120 families were removed for 'reasons directly or indirectly related to the Olympic Project'.
