It's kind of difficult to deny that Meyssan (living in Syria for over a decade) and his org are very well connected, Karlchen. The question is if what they tell us is the truth or something close enough to it, intended for their sophisticated readership to buy.
 
If you need help to get started with exploring the truthfulness of the paragraph I've quoted, here are the claims:

  • Did while Emir Hamad ben Khalifa Al Thani was king power gradually shifted into the hands of the company Exxon-Mobil?
  • Was at that time the majority shareholder of Exxon-Mobil the Rockefeller company, while its director was Rex Tillerson?
  • Did at that time a serious conflict pit the Rockefellers against Tillerson?

Meyssan is well connected - and his connections are connected to a nutjob. That doesn't inspire confidence in these connections.

I agree that the question is whether "they" (Meyssan his lonesome self) tell us the truth. This question has a true answer. "Yes" is not likely it.

Also: ftfy.

From npr:

Asked for comment after the president's remarks, a State Department spokesman offered a chart comparing parts of the two speeches that appeared to track, but he did not directly answer whether the speeches were coordinated.

I'm trying to come up with a comment, but it's difficult. A chart? They used a chart to show how the POTUS and his Sec. of State were on the same page with regards to a crisis in a country hosting 11,000 US troops.

German minister for foreign affairs, Sigmar Gabriel, after talking to several of his colleagues in the ME, is afraid that this situation could lead to a war soon.

Scary how little everyone (in the media, in our governments, at ISF) seems interested in how this situation develops...

I read that Iran has started supplying Qatar with fresh produce.
 
Qatar has hired John Ashcroft, known saviour of vulnerable souls from watching nasty nekkid statues in DC, to lobby for them in the US. Forgot where I read it.

Link to a CBS report:

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/qatar-hires-former-u-s-attorney-general-john-ashcroft/

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- Qatar has paid $2.5 million to the law firm of a former attorney general under President George W. Bush to audit its efforts at stopping terrorism funding, a matter at the heart of the Gulf diplomatic crisis that erupted last week.

John Ashcroft personally will lead his Washington-based firm's efforts "to evaluate, verify and as necessary, strengthen the client's anti-money laundering and counterterrorism financing" compliance and potentially lobby lawmakers and the media, according to documents filed to the U.S. Justice Department.
