China Joins Russia In Warning Syria Strike Would Have "Catastrophic Consequences"

Earlier, UK Foreign Secretary William Hague told the BBC an international military response to the suspected use of chemical weapons would be possible without the backing of the UN.
The UN Security Council is divided, with Russia and China opposing military intervention and the UK and France warning that the UN could be bypassed if there was "great humanitarian need".
In a column in The Times newspaper, former UK PM Tony Blair has written that if the West does not intervene to support freedom and democracy in Egypt and Syria, the Middle East will face catastrophe
The Periphery is Failing
The next big economic dislocation might be only weeks away

We saw this in the run-up to the housing bubble collapse, as
sub-prime mortgages gave way before prime loans, and in Europe, as
smaller economies like Greece, Ireland, and Cyprus have fallen first and
hardest (so far). We see this today in accelerating food stamp use
among poorer U.S. households. In each case, the weaker economic parties
give way first before being followed, over time, by the stronger ones.
Using this framework, we can often get several weeks to several
months of advance notice before trouble erupts in the next ring closer
to the center.
Which makes today notable, as we're receiving a number of new warning signs. The periphery is giving way.

Syrian Electronic Army takes down Zionist New York Times website, claims Twitter’s domains
RT: The Syrian Electronic Army has claimed access to a number of Twitter’s international domains shortly after bringing down the New York Times’ website. The attack was apparently made through Melbourne IT.
The SEA managed to alter both contact details and domain name servers of the New York Times and Twitter after reportedly having gained access to their registry records in Melbourne IT. The SEA also claimed responsibility for hacking the Huffington Post UK domain.
As a result of the attack the New York Times’ website has been disabled for the second time in under a month. The newspaper attributed the outage to a “malicious external attack” widely thought to have come from hackers affiliated with the Syrian Electronic Army.
“Many users are having difficulty accessing the New York Times online,” the paper wrote on its Facebook page.

The colonial stepping-stone to Syria comes into service.
We know how long the attack on Syria has been in the planning
The Slog: Five months on from the anal gang-banging of Cyprus, the reasons for
having done it remain multivariate but increasingly clear. The piece reproduced below is from March 23rd this year, and contains the following words:
‘…What very few people do for
starters is just look where the hell Cyprus is. As you can see from this
map, it is a long way east of Rhodes. That country it appears to be
pointing a finger at is Syria. Just after that comes Iraq and Iran. A
spit and a throw to the north is Erdogan-run Turkey. Every one of these
countries is in one form or another the victim (willing or otherwise) of
Islamist advance….I don’t think Barack Obama was in the region to talk
about peace. He was doing the “I’m here to remind you all that I’m
keeping a beady eye on this shit”.’
In the late hours of last night CET, Warplanes and military
transporters have begun arriving at Britain’s locally protested colonial Akrotiri airbase on
Cyprus, less than 100 miles from the Syrian coast, in a sign of
increasing preparations for a military strike against the Assad regime
in Syria.
China and Japan REALLY Don’t Like Each Other
By Zheng Wang (汪铮): Having friends in both China and Japan, I
have often been asked to explain both sides’ actions since the
Diaoyu/Senkakus crisis began in September 2012. For example, my Chinese
friends cannot understand why the Abe government is so “stubborn” and
isn’t willingly trying to repair relations with China, while my Japanese
friends wonder the same thing about the Chinese government.
A recent survey
of Chinese and Japanese citizens views of each other’s countries helps
shed light on these issues. The results of the survey could provide
answers to the questions of my friends.
This survey, which was commissioned by the Japanese think tank Genron NPO and China Daily, asked 1,805 Japanese citizens and 1,540 Chinese citizens about their views of the other country.
The survey found that 92.8 percent of Chinese respondents hold unfavorable views of Japan, a startling 28 percent rise from the year before. Similarly, 90.1 percent of respondents in Japan had an unfavorable or relatively unfavorable view of China, compared with 84.3 percent last year. For both countries, these figures were higher than in the previous nine annual surveys conducted.

Meet Saudi Arabia's Bandar bin Sultan: One Of The Puppetmasters Behind The Syrian War
Courtesy of As-Safir (translated here), we learn all the gritty details about what really happened at the meeting, instead of just the Syrian motives and the Russian conclusion, and most importantly what happened just as the meeting ended, unsuccessfully (at least to the Saudi). And by that we mean Saudi Arabia's threats toward Russia and Syria.
First, some less well-known observations on who it was that was supporting the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt even as US support was fading fast:
