Michael Rivero: Reports coming out of Syria over private satellite-based connections report all phones, cellular and power are out in Damascus. Given the earlier PressTV report on Israeli armor inside Syria, past the Golan (where the UN observers have conveniently been "kidnapped") it looks like the invasion may be on.
Various Internet traffic monitors — including Google and Akamai — are reporting that Internet traffic into and out of Syria has ground to a halt again.
Right now, Google is showing that none of its products are available in Syria, since a little before 3 pm ET, or about two hours ago as of this writing. Here’s a screen grab of Google’s graphic showing the dropoff.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned Israel against any further aggression on Syria, media reports say.
During a Tuesday phone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Putin said that “Russia would not tolerate further Israeli attacks on Damascus and would respond.”
Israeli Debka website quoted Putin as saying that Russia would not allow Israel, United States or anyone to launch military action on Syria.
Putin said that he had ordered the acceleration of highly advanced Russian weapons supplies to Syria.
Putin’s warning comes after Israel’s attacked on Syrian soil on Sunday which left at least 15 people dead, according to a letter submitted by Syrian foreign ministry to United Nations.
According to the report, the Russian president said that Moscow will act against western attempts aimed at toppling Syrian President Bashar Assad.
Russia and the US are at odds over the Syria crisis. While US supports anti-Damascus militants seeking to topple the government of President Bashar al-Assad, Russia remains a supporter of his government.
Russia accuses the West of worsening the Syrian conflict by calling for the ouster of Assad.
A US Senator introduced a bill on Tuesday that would provide weapons to terrorist groups fighting in Syria.
Moscow has voiced its strong opposition to arming militants in Syria, stressing that any such move would breach international law.

Israel’s Binyamin Netanyahu, while in Shanghai, faced a sharp dressing-down from President Vladimir Putin Monday, May 6 and a warning that further Israeli attacks on Damascus would not be tolerated. Putin said highly advanced Russian weapons, including S-300 air defense systems, would be supplied at speed to Syria. US Secretary of State John Kerry, on his arrival in Moscow, was met with Russia’s determination to match US-Israel intervention in the Syrian war. And Netanyahu was greeted in Beijing by Chinese President Xi Jinping’s pro-Palestinian “peace plan.”
