“…documented that only five percent of the so-called armed opposition are Syrians and the rest are of multiple non-Syrian nationalities.”

MY COMMENT: Abu Saeed’s Commission carries almost single-handedly all that remains of the world’s integrity, and we seriously doubt anyone in the free world is going to find his report in their daily News ration any time soon.

There’s very little integrity left in the international arena due to the concentrated barage of anti-Syrian propaganda that the NATO allies and the Gulf tyrants have been featuring since 2011.

WAKE UP LIBERALS AND DECENT FOLK, BECAUSE THE WORLD’S CONSCIENCE HAS BEEN DEFRAUDED BY WESTERN INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES AND OUR OWN COMPLICIT DEPARTMENTS OF STATE. ‘HUMANITARIANS’ ARE GETTING HOSED BY NEOCON CONTROL OF INFORMATION.

Piazza della Carina

BEIRUT, (SANA) – Ambassador  of the International High Commission for Human Rights in the Middle East, member of the International Parliament for Safety and Peace, Haitham Abu Saeed, held the countries supporting terrorism responsible for every drop of blood spilled in Syria.

In an interview with Syrian TV on Friday, Abu Saeed pointed out to the involvement of Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey in what is happening in Syria, saying “the involvement of Saudi Arabia and Qatar in what is happening in Syria is plain and clear and they declare this through the media .. we regret this and condemn it.

“We have asked them to stop this immediately, and we add our voice to the voice of Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon in demand not only from Qatar and Saudi Arabia, but also from Turkey which may be involved more than others, to stop supporting militants… we…

A little cry against the Neo-cons

October 16, 2012

The Western media’s irresponsible year-long portrayal of false-flag events in Syria is thankfully by now of wide (though unofficial) record and will never be forgotten – this manipulation of ‘world outrage’ for the purpose of jerking uncritical liberals into the neocon camp has been criminal and cannot stand. Even millions of online users (who have the means to know better) have become clue-less shills of the NATO-SAUDI-QATARI plan to destabilize a beautiful and honestly sovereign and secular Arab state.

People wake up! Remember that the West and the Saudis and Qataris have admitted more than once to bankrolling the murderous non-indigenous wing of the so-called oppostion.  Remember that these kinds of outsider jihadists who are on Gulf and Western payrolls have shown us ever since the Algerian civil war (1997) that they are completely capable of murdering other muslims who disagree with their Salafist and Wahabist aims to destroy all secular Islamic culture.

Remote IED blasts staged and sold to West as government shelling

June 24, 2012

Smoke from army shelling or activist IED?

When the media’s ongoing story about government violence in Syria switched temporarily from Homs to Idleb in March, we saw the usual unconfirmed activist videos featuring multiple plumes of smoke rising up all over the landscape – what looked to be a massive shelling of the town by the army.

However, journalist Sharmine Narwani was learning, to the contrary – through an online messaging group of Syrian civilians whom she trusted – that telephone calls to Idleb were yielding reports that activists were seen “rigging the town with IEDs” before the government troops moved in.

In a March 13 article, Narwani (Huffington Post and Al Akhbar) published the transcript of an informal online exchange in which a man recapped telephone conversations with his family in Idleb during the occupation of the town by the military the weekend before.

Excerpts from the transcript:

“Today the Army went into [the city of] Idleb. There was no random shelling, they were slowly moving into neighborhoods, starting from the east and southern”

[later] Most damages are caused by the IEDs (some up to 50kgs of explosives) and random firing by militants (using PKT/PKC and DUSHKA/DShk machine guns), with the army returning fire when attacked, but no excessive use of force (i.e no artillery barrages as reported by al Jazeera and other channels)”

The man also passed along news that a home blown open by one of these IEDs had been remotely triggered by activists “as the army was approaching” – with the troops in such proximity to the blast that they were forced to fall back momentarily and restart their sweep of the neighborhood with extra caution.

Journalist Narwani refuses to make more of her evidence than the case will admit – she describes her source as “not a reporter, he relies entirely on his family’s accounts and estimates in Idlib, and his claims cannot be verified at this point.”

MY COMMENT: I think Narwani’s second-hand testimonies are important, constituting, as she says – “the anecdotal evidence that provides the basis for further investigation.”

This further investigation might proceed on grounds more scientifically sound than you think.  All that is required is the ability  to distinguish a remotely triggered IED explosion from a shellburst, and anyone who has seen both would be able to tell us if this differentiation is possible – provided he has no motive to favor one side or other of the debate. The images of the Idleb bombardment or of any other scenes of government shelling alleged by the activists might easily be examined to determine how many of the blasts fit the profile of an IED better than that of an artillery shell.

Pending that investigation, MY QUESTION ABOUT THE IDLEB BOMBARDMENT IS THIS: Could activist videos showing smoke from explosions after the army’s entrance into the city be purposely enhanced by the addition of blasts from remotely triggered IEDs which may have been planted by activists before the army arrived?

More evidence FSA is not the real opposition in Syria

June 20, 2012

“the reality on the ground is far from the picture imposed by  dis-information in Western media… Peace in Syria could be saved if everyone told the truth.”

– Bishop Philip Tournyol Clos

A competent eyewitness has suggested that the prime agents of change in Syria are not genuine FSA troops and irregulars but “foreign fighters, mercenary Libyans, Lebanese, militants from the Gulf, Afghans, Turks.”

So says one angry French Bishop after a recent visit to three Syrian cities, in an article June 4 in the Vatican’s online journal Agenzia Fides.

The worst violence in Syria is characterized by the Bishop as “the bloody work of adventurers who are not Syrian… armed groups independent of each other, heavily armed and bankrolled by Qatar and Saudi Arabia.”

NOT SYRIAN?  INDEPENDENT OF EACH OTHER?  This could mean two things.

(1) If civilians are being attacked by outsiders, there is no ‘civil war’ in Syria in the normal sense, which would require that Syrians are fighting fellow Syrians. But somebody’s trying to make it look like civil war.

(2) If the killers are foreigners and “independent of each other” then some or all of them are outside the control of the FSA (in fact, no outside group is likely to be receiving orders or arms or paychecks from the FSA). But if that is true, then there is no real freedom fighting going on in the worst pockets of violence – since we cannot speak of the presence of the FSA in areas where there are no forces they actually control.

The outside fighting groups singled out by the Bishop for greatest condemnation are Sunni Salafists – whose actions have caused him to conclude that this sect is now pursuing a very open and obvious jihad against non-Sunnis in that nation, “especially against the Alawites.”

The Bishop tells how the Salafist fighters administer a kind of trial-by-catechism to a captive citizen suspected of being Alawite:

“They ask him to cite the genealogies dating back to Moses. And they ask to recite a prayer that the Alawites removed. The Alawites have no chance to get out alive.”

While in Homs, the Bishop visited the only two areas in that city which contain Christian churches – Diwan Al Bustan and Hamidieh – and reports that these are among the areas hardest hit by the depredations of the outsiders.

“The picture for us – he continues – is utter desolation: the church of Mar Elian is half destroyed and that of Our Lady of Peace is still occupied by the rebels. Christian homes are severely damaged due to the fighting and completely emptied of their inhabitants, who fled without taking anything.”

The Bishop is defiant and is naming names: “The enemies of Syria have enlisted some of the Muslim Brotherhood in order to destroy the brotherly relations that traditionally existed between Muslims and Christians: Yet, to date, they are not able to: they have provoked a contrary reaction and the two communities are more united than before.”

Read the article in English translation, here

MY COMMENT: The Muslim Brotherhood is a natural pick for this kind of insane proxy war against fellow Muslims, because they are still a little deranged by the thought of revenge for a 30-year old defeat which their group suffered in Hama, Syria, when their violent uprising there was ruthlessly suppressed by troops of the regime of Assad’s father in 1982.

But what about al-Qaeda? There can be no doubt that the black-banner dudes are also there, and that they are also foreigners, and deranged enough to kill fellow Muslims, and that they are not Muslim Brotherhood.  The Brotherhood is propped up by the Gulfies, according to the Bishop’s article, but al-Quaeda is more likely being supported  by our clever/stupid Western intelligence agencies (because they don’t trust the GCC’s proxies to get the job done right).

Caught in the middle, naturally, are the honest citizens of Syria.

June 17, 2012

MY COMMENT:  Above please read another analyst who is connecting the dots and having grave doubts about what we know and do not know about Syria. The world’s humanitarians and liberals would do well to put their self-righteous ‘outrage’ to one side for a day or two and consider that they are at risk of being in contempt of everything they stand for if they continue to place their trust in Big Media and unverified YouTube voice-overs.
Everybody – time to seek the truth … again. If there is a chance that the world conscience is being defrauded by somebody’s international war machine, the facts ought to be investigated very carefully.
In my opinion, huge numbers of literally unsuspecting liberals and humanitarians are being ‘pressed’ into the ignoble ranks of the clever/stupid neocons and their illegal campaign against the sovereignty of perhaps the last secular Muslim society in the world.

Another ‘reality check’ was recently posted over at FAIR.ORG

June 16, 2012

MY COMMENT: A Canadian university professor writes a thoughtful warning, above, to humanitarians who have surrendered their humanitarian impulses to the Western media’s uncritical and complicit atrocity-journalism.

There are good reasons to believe that the World Conscience is being  defrauded by a new Fog of War strategy which has enough ‘wartime’ control over information to co-opt honest humanitarian impulses for support of war aims which real humanitarians would not countenance.

It is increasingly obvious to me that we are looking at a callous international attempt at state-busting operations against Syria that needs very much to be investigated.

The Business of Emotions

‘Set up to be shot in Syria’s no man’s land’

This was the claim on June 8 of Alex Thompson, chief foreign correspondent for Channel 4 News reporting from Qusair, a town close to the Syria/Lebanon border. His story is here.

He describes how the anti-Assad rebels maneuvered the vehicle in which Thompson, his crew, translator and an Arab League observer were traveling into an area where they would be shot by the Syrian Army. Their intent, he argues, was to make it appear that the Syrian Army had knowingly killed journalists and thereby stoke feelings against Assad and for those opposing him.

In his words:

I’m quite clear the rebels deliberately set us up to be shot by the Syrian Army. Dead journos are bad for Damascus…. Please, do not for one moment believe that my experience with the rebels in al Qusair was a one-off …. It…

Rebel tire fires packaged and sold to West as government shelling

June 15, 2012

The so-called rebels fight in the streets, shoot videos and burn tires. If you see black smoke on a video “made by mobile phone”, it’s not the result of artillery fire by the army, it is smoke from burning tires.  – eye-witness resident Anhar Kochneva

Tire fires are a regular urban ‘production’ in Syria, tended by lackeys of the so-called ‘opposition.’

Independent journalist Anhar Kochneva has lived in Syria both under Bashar al-Assad and under his much more repressive and unprogressive father.  She says that the situation in Syria today is not at all similar to how it has been presented in the mass media.

Well-placed cell-phone videos taken at a distance capture scenes of black smoke rising behind buildings, which are then sent by satellite connection to weak, complicit Western media anchors.

The fraudulent media anchors buy the terrorist version of the image without question and then wholesale it to gullible Western liberals and humanitarians as depictions of a government shelling its own cities.

“I came to Syria in the late-90s. To tell the truth, I didn’t like the country. Now I’ve been living in this country for quite a while, the country has changed. Life has changed; people have changed. People have started their own businesses; they have their own property.

“Therefore, people would maybe have supported a protest movement 10 years ago, but now they wouldn’t. Now people want stability. There is unnecessary chaos, some disorders. They used to live in a peaceful country. Syria was one of the safest countries in the region… Now, unfortunately, it’s not like that anymore. People are afraid. Something they were proud of was stolen from them.

“Some weeks ago I was in Homs. I was in the sadly known Baba Amr district of Homs. Most of the residents have left their homes. My friends live 800 meters from Baba Amr. They told me that bandits fired at their houses. Not the Army. The Syrian army does not kill people. They only answer when the situation is extreme.”

Peter Hitchens questions Western reporting on Syria

June 14, 2012

Excerpts from Daily Mail online June 9: “The truth seeps out of Syria”

“I have been contacted by a group of Western women who live in Syria and who believe that most of what the world is being told about that country is false.”

One of Hitchens’ Western informants on the ground in Syria calls the activists “weapon-toting killers who snipe, who ambush, who fire upon the army with the sole purpose of inciting riot and mayhem.”

Hitchens reports that one of his contacts had spoken to a man who took part in a march at Hama last summer. He ‘was worried for his safety, but was given a red rose to carry and assured the whole thing would be calm and orderly, and seeing many other men from the mosque joining in with their small sons, he agreed. They walked for a very few minutes, the unarmed police watching them from the wayside, then a man next to him pulled out a gun and shot the nearest policeman dead.’

The riot which resulted from this provocation was, according to Hitchens’ informant, “reported by foreign TV stations as a police attack on peaceful marchers.

“Armed intervention is in fact well under way, uncondemned by the UN, which readily attacks the Syrian government for defending itself…”

Hitchens: “She blames Salafis, ultra-puritan Muslims influenced by Saudi teachings, who loathe and threaten Syria’s minorities of Alawites and Christians. She says many of the ‘activists’ are foreigners, a view shared by all my informants. Many of the ‘activists’ are armed.

Another writes: ‘I have seen reports of opposition rallies which showed pictures of pro-government rallies… The news being accepted as truth by BBC World News is so biased these days that I no longer believe what they say about anything any more, after more than 60 years of crediting them with the truth.’

Hitchens adds: “I urge you to read what follows, because it is important, … and because it is vital that people resist attempts to drag us into Syria, too, by feeding us one-sided atrocity propaganda… I expect to have more to say on this in weeks to come.”

MY COMMENT: I doubt that the Houla massacre was the work of Syrians of any party – more likely to be responsible are the bunch of international pirates who have converged on that Arab secular state – like the 700 imported foreigners trapped by the army in Baba Amr in Feb.

The worst elements in the Syrian mix are not Syrian, in my opinion – they are foreign fighters in the country in contempt of international law and are only nominally allied to the FSA – and are certainly NOT receiving arms or money or orders from the FSA or from any Syrians.

Such desecrating slaughter as the mass-murders in Houla and elsewhere were carried out without thought of civilian suffering and could not possibly have been ordered by the Syrian army or by the Syrian FSA – Again, look for imported fighters taking orders from outside. Orders from who? I say check out the free-wheeling clever/stupid ex-“cold warriors” lurking about our embassies, the jerk-offs who think they saved the free world and who are still embedded in our Western intelligence agencies. I think these murderous clowns are now acting as the international handlers of various groups of these deadly imported fighters. In Syria you are looking at a little window into a callous plan of methodical state-busting and dismemberment of Muslim civilization.

NATO state-busters are defrauding world’s conscience in Syria

June 12, 2012

Every humanitarian who trusts the current commentary associated with the bloody images coming out of Syria could very well be getting played for a fool.

There is not enough public questioning of the motives of Western intelligence agencies and their proxy fighters, who are largely responsible for the images of violence in the media.

Independent observers continue to cast doubt upon this Western misinformation campaign against the government and the loyal citizenry of the last secular Arab state in the world.

There are a lot of soldiers of fortune [in Syria]… Chechens, Romanians, French, Libyans, and Afghans… A few Afghans were caught and asked, ‘What are you doing here?’ They replied, ‘We were told that we came to Israel, and at night we are shooting at Israeli buses. We are fighting with the enemy to liberate Palestine.’ It might be funny, but it is true. The guys were really surprised, ‘Are we in Syria? We thought we were in Israel!’

In 1997-98 village massacres during the Algerian civil war plainly showed that there are some Islamic fighters who think nothing of killing large numbers of Muslim civilians whose only crime was refusal to join their rebellion against a secular Arab government.

Today’s busy liberal humanitarians are not really paying attention if they are allowing the corporate television industry to fuel their outrage.  Big mistake. Look again. Your erstwhile humanitarianism is based on a lie that is playing a wealth of ‘world opinion’ and war-authorization into the wrong hands.

The whole world is watching a movie about something [the myth of a worthy indigenous “opposition” being suppressed by a murderous regime] which does not in fact exist; it is fiction in the guise of real events. This is a manipulation of public opinion.

Unfortunately we have reached a point where the juggernaut of deception will simply not be embarrassed by facts any longer. Because enough outrage has been manufactured already to go forward, and this makes it absolutely mandatory that the truth be ruthlessly stonewalled until the very last falsehood is in place – so that the public relations crime of the new century can at last be perpetrated against the people of Syria.

I’ve been living permanently in Syria for the last seven months, and I saw only three ‘so-called demonstrations.’ So-called, because there were very few people and they were clearly staged as a performance for journalists… The so-called rebels fight in the streets, shoot videos and burn tires. If you see black smoke on a video “made by mobile phone”, it’s not the result of artillery fire by the army, it is smoke from burning tires.

Western humanitarians wake up! Your enemies the Neo-cons have manipulated your sympathies to make you unwilling accomplices in their year-long vicious attack against one of the last stable and secular Muslim states.

Protests were shot on video for five or ten minutes before people quickly dispersed. In some cities, where bandits took control temporarily, they forced people to go to demonstrations… In Zabadani, my colleagues and I were captured by bandits. They showed us a rusty tank and said the tank fired at the town… They gathered a dozen people and organized a demonstration especially for us. At this moment I looked at the people’s faces. I saw only fear and hatred on the faces. They were afraid of the bandits and hated them.

Ten years from now, when the real historians have had a chance to sift the facts, everyone now looking on with approval at this calloused wave of Neo-con state-busting will be exposed for a bunch of hapless and distracted TV spectators who got lied too.

The people offering testimony in the above article are risking their lives to get the truth out about the Houla massacre.  The phony Syrian opposition does not deserve the support of the Western peoples – we ought to unite in our rejection of the lies of our sick Western ruling groups.

Q: What happened on May the 25th and the 26th in your village of Taldao? What did you see?

A: I’m a citizen from Taldao, right now I live in Taldao, on the first day of the events, on Friday, the bandits mortared army checkpoint, the army returned fire an injured many of the bandits that attacked the army. The other armed men moved the injured and the man who fired the mortar to the field hospital and he’s now alive and well and his name is Said Fayez Talha Al-Aksh, his family lives in Taldao.

I’m breathless with awe and hatred for US-NATO and the oily theocracies. They are clearly using heavily armed and bankrolled jihadist infiltrators as modern ‘Contras’ to fuel a weak and unpopular Syrian opposition – in order to get their objective of destabilization for the last sovereign and secular Arab state in the world.

This is a post from March over at my ‘other blog.’ It belongs here.

Next Theology

The Syrian people of Maaloula tell the story of anti-Assad outsiders who tried to enlist the townspeople as agitators against the President and his government.  Both Muslim and Christian citizens rejected their invitation.

Correspondent Maria Finoshina gives a video report from the town, alleged to be the only place in the world where an entire community still speaks Aramaic as a living language (most scholars believe a form of Aramaic was the native tongue of Jesus of Nazareth).

Interviewed in the clip is Mother Pelagia Sayaf, Christian nun and schoolteacher at the town’s Monastery of St. Thekla:

“There were people who came here, they wanted to push us against the government, the President, the army… these people are receiving money and listening to orders.”

The town’s Muslim Imam reports the same:

“I remember last April, there were several men after Friday prayers, they tried to persuade Muslims to protest…

Houla: “The SALVADOR OPTION for SYRIA” ?

May 29, 2012

CanadaNewsLibre

“The Salvador Option” is a “terrorist model” of mass killings by US sponsored death squads. It was first applied in El Salvador, in the heyday of resistance against the military dictatorship, resulting in an estimated 75,000 deaths.”

“In relation to recent events, the killing of 108 people including 35 children in the border city of Houla on May 27 was, in all likelihood, committed by US sponsored death squads under the “Salvador Option for Syria”. The deaths of civilians have been casually blamed by the Western media on the Al Assad government and the incident is being used as pretext for a “humanitarian” R2P intervention by NATO. Outright media fabrications, including the manipulation of images by the BBC suggest that the Syrian government was not behind the massacre…”  Prof. Michel Chossudovsky

Phony ‘Houla Massacre’: How Media Manipulates Public Opinion on Syria

May 29, 2012

MY COMMENT: The massacre was real and not phony – what is phony is the thoughtless journalism which has legitimized the ridiculous accusations of phony ‘opposition’ gangsters against the Syrian government.

☣ Tнє Tяuтн ☠

If you are still needing an academic tutorial on exactly how the mainstream media is able to generate a completely phony public consensus to support foreign intervention projects, you need look no further than the dangerous, fictional narrative currently being rolled out regarding Syria.
This past Saturday and Sunday morning, almost every major corporate mainstream newspaper and TV network in North America and in Europe ran with the average headline,“Massacre of the children as Syrian forces hit rebels”, giving hundreds of millions of readers and viewers to artificial impression that it was Syrian government forces – and not western-backed terrorist groups, who carried out a massacre on children and others days ago – even though, the true culprit of these attacks has not yet been determined – a fact which was only briefly mentioned later on in these very same media reports.
It shouldn’t take a genius to see through this relentless western effort to takeover…

WHY IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THE SYRIAN REGIME WAS BEHIND THE HOULA MASSACRES

Why was reform CRUSHED in Bahrain?

April 8, 2012

WHY DID CALLS FOR REFORM FAIL IN BAHRAIN?

This video explains.

Here you will not see a single fraudulent clip like those staged by the dishonest foreign fighters in Syria whose weapons and cash come from NATO and the GCC.

Nobody in the Bahrain movement is paid by outside interests to destabilize the regime and use their cell phones to manipulate the world’s conscience.  NATO doesn’t have a phony replacement government waiting across the borders. This is just a whole population with their blocked cell phones and spilt blood, sacrificed to the false god of repressive oily theocracy.

February 2011, and the Arab Spring is in full swing. International TV cameras are lapping up events in Cairo and Tunis, celebrating the overthrow of one despotic regime after another. But out of sight, in Bahrain, another uprising is underway. Foreign journalists are banned from this island kingdom, but unknown to the ruling Khalifa family, one undercover crew were capturing the horrific carnage of a revolution forgotten by the world.

Bashar Al Assad as compared to the King of Bahrain

April 5, 2012

To innaugurate the new blog I have chosen this post I found 7 days ago at “Wind from the East”

The comparison between Bahrain and Syria represents a fairly rational ground for building a very strong argument that a cynical double standard exists in world affairs today.

What is more, the different ‘handling’ by corporate and state-sponsored media of the reform movements in these two countries has become the tipping point for a few honest journalists who were moved to resign from Qatar’s official news machine, al-Jazeera (another story I want to cover here).

I think the double standard is so apparent in the case of Syria that the entire state-busting charade may be at risk in the issues of this present crisis. Has the West finally taken on a project of disinformation which is too large and audacious to avoid exposure in the eyes of a significant number of people in the reality-based community? One can only hope there’s time to make it so.

To be continued

Wind From The East

Here is another image that I came across which illustrates the differences between two so-called “Arab dictators” (this image perfectly shows who the real “dictator” is). Many on the White Left still continue to oppose Bashar Al Assad either by outright supporting his overthrow by Western backed forces or by some magical “workers uprising”. Lets be clear about something, Assad is not a socialist but he is the President of the last remaining secular Arab state which maintains great unity amongst it’s population. He is supported amongst most (if not all) sectors of the Syrian population.This image speaks for itself.
