Front Running In The Media

The numbers of directly killed 'fighters' (armed militia, state soldiers, external brigades 'helping' the so-called Houthi) in the Yemen war are upwards of 13,000 up until statistics were stopped being counted by the United Nations.

These numbers are completely fraudulent. They show massive casualties and deaths by a ratio of 10:1 on the side of the 'government' and Saudi-backed defensive war-fighters - and no more than around 1,000 ISIS and Ansar Allah brigade deaths with more than 2,000 additional combatants captured.

These numbers also explicitly detail the presence of armed professionals under the command of 'Academi,' the private contract professional army - who are assisting, advising, and literally also fighting with, the Saudi-backed official Yemen government army.

This is just Hamas guys, in Gaza...
They are just praying

Now going on the official UN estimations - this would make ISIS here in this theater, some kind of amazing war-fighting machine; they have ripped apart their opponents at the rate of greater than ten-to-one.

Moreover, there is the acknowledged employment of Reaper drones against the ISIS and Ansar Allah brigades.

According to published estimations by monitors of these things - there are more than fifty thousand (50,000) civilians dead from the events of this war.

'Ansar Allah' in this case, is also presented by even independent sources, as being led by, and funded by, and peopled by, Iranian trained militia. 'Ansar Allah' is a term used for a variety of (other) groups not confined to just the Yemen so-called 'civil war.' 'Ansar Allah' is also the term used in the Koran for the disciples of Jesus in ancient times!

So this would make the Iran-backed militia here some helluva decent fighting force that clearly has fighting skill supremacy on the actual battle-field... The Saudis have the best equipment and funding, and they have US backing and they are getting whipped, apparently... But there are so many problems with explaining what is really going on and how it is happening - for example, on the one hand there is no way Ansar Allah is actually gaining any entry into the main central Yemen 'cities' (such as these are), but at the same time, it very much appears that they have indeed strengthened their hold on the port region, including the actual port itself of Al Hudaydah - where there are 2.5 million people living in that vicinity.

Because of control of this major port, Ansar Allah receives extensive and on-going logistical traffic from a number of Shi'a sources. The US has never backed Shi'a anywhere, and it placed heavy sanctions on Eritrea not long ago that damaged that country in many ways. 

Now... Meanwhile... Considering that Saudi Arabia views the action of Ansar Allah in Yemen as a direct threat to itself, and that via Yemen, Iran is seeking to establish a pathway of military access to materially attacking Saudi Arabia in actual acts of war, it isn't even open to question, that the Saudi Arabian rulers regarded someone like Jamal Khashoggi as quite literally a traitor who was an agent and operative of Iranian interests. 

Quietly, not too many people do regard the Saudi army is anything other than a bunch of privileged fat Saudis - but having said that, they were clearly sustaining a severe battering, if you go by the UN figures.

And this is a well-equipped fighting force
Very well, equipped... And trained.

And while this was happening, no one in the media was considering the strategic outcome of an Ansar Allah/Iran victory, and as if butter would not melt in his mouth, Jamal Khashoggi was systematically firing away at the Saudi ruling elite in the Western media - driving the point across that the Saudis were self-interested, and prospectively to be run by one inexperienced and egocentric, young and probable 'tyrant.'

And in all of the fog of it - the Turkish government has a recording, in fact now we are told two separate recordings of two phases of the events, of what transpired INSIDE the premises of a foreign Embassy.

This famous recording that no one in the public has heard, is very gruesome. But the only thing I find objectionable, is that the Western media is trying to tell me which side to pick, and that there is only one side in this saga, and they are quite deliberately being 'oblivious' to Iran's position in the whole thing, and the sheer impossibility - under the circumstances - of Jamal Khashoggi being just some honest, objective, independent journalist.

So... Foreign unfriendly governments have the capacity to make covert recordings of embassies, do they?

Interesting.

Is violence and murder and brutality in war also objectionable? Of course it is. That is why I don't play this game of picking sides and pushing propaganda designed to assign an opinion onto the general public dependent upon what media you get given to you.
