"al-CIA-duh" in Free Libya and on the march.

While Qatari government propaganda outlet Al Jazeera is busy whitewashing the NATO-led terrorist take-over of Libya with “documentaries” like “Gaddafi: The Endgame – State of Denial,” depicting the evisceration of one of Africa’s most developed nation-states as a pro-democracy revolution yielding a promising tomorrow – Libya in reality has been plunged into perpetual violence, destabilization, and division. And as militants battle each other while carving the once unified Libya into a myriad of fiefdoms, genocidal death squads continue a campaign of extermination nationwide.

http://en.cumhuriyet.com/medya.php?mn=79800

Image: The people of Tawargha are Libyans and have been Libyan for generations, settling there from sub-Saharan Africa. They have been brutally persecuted by the NATO-armed terrorists now running Libya.

In Syria, expect these to be Alawite, Christian, Druze, Kurdish, Armenian and secular faces.
….

One group of Libyans hit hardest are the people of Tawargha – who were either exterminated or exiled from their city of 10,000-30,000 during the NATO-led destruction of Libya last year. Since then, their refugee camps have been raided, and survivors who have not yet fled Libya are being systematically imprisoned, tortured, and murdered.

Now, the very network of corporate-funded and directed NGOs charged with “human rights advocacy,” who assisted the Libyan rebels in willfully lying to the world over violations of “human rights” in the lead up to NATO’s military intervention, are finally reporting the widespread atrocities being carried out by the rebels themselves. In fact, organizations like Human Rights Watch (HRW) and Amnesty International, both funded by convicted criminal and Wall Street speculator, George Soros, began reporting such atrocities back in 2011, but only long after NATO bombs were already falling on Libya and the process of “regime change” was already irreversible. And, at critical junctures, such as the sieges of Bani Walid and Sirte, where NATO itself was committing systematic war crimes by air in tandem with terrorist forces on the ground – organizations like HRW and Amnesty International were altogether mute.

Image: The desolate Libyan city of Sirte after NATO’s months-long siege – the tragic aftermath of a UN-sanctioned “humanitarian war.” Not a word regarding NATO’s blockade and bombardment of these cities has been mentioned by either HRW or Amnesty International in any terms resembling the rhetoric they used to justify NATO’s intervention in March of 2011.

Now though, with Syria next on the chopping block, many around the world are looking at the “progress” made in Libya to see if the UN and NATO’s proposal for military intervention is justified, warranted, or feasible. What they see is a patchwork of terrorist regimes butchering people systematically, infighting, making duplicitous, self-serving deals with foreign firms and otherwise running the nation into the ground.

Amnesty International, a full-year too late, has published a report titled, “Libya: NTC must investigate death of another Tawargha man under torture,” in regards to the latest case in the NTC’s systematic genocide of the people of Tawargha - a city now rendered a “ghost town.” HRW had published a report last week titled, “Libya: Wake-Up Call to Misrata’s Leaders,” also regarding the systematic genocide of the people of Tawargha. Ironically, both Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International are giving all inquiring minds a look behind the curtain as to how exactly they are distorting other conflicts – including Syria today.

From the Beginning, Libyan Rebels were Known War Criminals

Long before the first NATO bombs dropped on Libya, genuine geopolitical analysts including Dr. Webster Tarpley of Tarpley.net, noted that the Libyan “rebels” were in fact notoriously brutal racists and led by militias belonging to a listed international terrorist organization responsible for violence not only in Libya, but in Afghanistan and Iraq. On March 1, 2011 Dr. Tarpley spoke on the Alex Jones show warning that Libyan rebels were lynching black Libyans, hailed from Al Qaeda, and that the overall agenda of destabilizing and possibly intervening militarily across the Arab World was to implement “chaos, civil war, and the division of countries,” along with the installation of weak puppet-regimes.

Just days after NATO began its military operations against Libya in mid-March of 2011, Dr. Tarpley confirmed that the Libyan rebels were led by the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), claimed by West Point’s Combating Terrorism Center (CTC) to have been involved in fighting Western troops in both Afghanistan and Iraq before returning to Libya to then be armed, trained, and led by Western forces in the overthrowing of Muammar Qaddafi.

During the initial phases of NATO’s intervention, HRW and Amnesty International were complicit in covering these facts up and instead focused on lending legitimacy to the now confirmed lies of the NTC regarding human rights abuses perpetrated against them by the Libyan government. It wasn’t until July of 2011 that HRW would admit that Libyan rebels were carrying out systematic abuses of their own, and even then they were whitewashed and excused. And while Human Rights Watch now admits that what the Libyan NTC is doing to the Tawargha people amounts to “crimes against humanity,” they could have just as easily drawn such conclusions backed with ample evidence before NATO intervened militarily and rendered moot the entire “humanitarian” “responsibility to protect” doctrine the entire war was disingenuously based on.

In retrospect, we are meant to believe these organizations simply made a mistake and could not have possibly known the rebels would turn out to be worse human rights violators than those they sought to replace.

HRW & Amnesty Repeating “Mistakes” in Syria, No Mistake

That HRW and Amnesty International appear to be making the exact same mistakes in Syria, even as they finally admit the crimes of the “pro-democracy” rebels in Libya a year later and tens of thousands of lives too late, is certainly no mistake. This is exactly the purpose both organizations are meant to serve along with a myriad of other faux-NGOs – to lend legitimacy to both the Syrian terrorists and the governments of the West arming and directing them as they carry out what is essentially a campaign of foreign military conquest.

The first admissions of Syrian rebels committing atrocities have likewise come a full-year after unrest was triggered in 2011. Human Rights Watch admitted in their report, “Syria: Armed Opposition Groups Committing Abuses,” that Syrian rebels are kidnapping, torturing, and executing people, many of whom have been confirmed to be civilians. Again, geopolitical analysts have stated since the unrest began in 2011 that Syria’s opposition likewise represented not genuine “pro-democratic” forces, but rather proxies for foreign interests, many linked to extremist groups including Al Qaeda, and with Libya’s LIFG commander Abdul Hakim Belhaj literally pledging cash, weapons, and men to the Syrian rebels’ and NATO’s cause.

Indeed, Syria is destined not for a stable democratic-tomorrow, but rather the same division, destruction, chaos, and genocide now rampant across Libya, where self-serving traitors simultaneously sell their nation out from under its people while eliminating their competition through violence and terrorism. As NATO and the UN attempt to court Syria’s ruling business and government cliques, it would be wise for Syrians to look at Libya as an example of just how much worse it can get and the necessity to remain unified against what has been planned from the very beginning to be the end of Syria.

That the West’s war machine extends not only around the world in the form of vast military assets, but with an immense media infrastructure to propagate their agenda, and a gargantuan network of NGOs funded and directed to subvert every form of national institution should be a big enough clue for stake-holders within besieged nation-states that the West has neither the need nor the desire to “share” once they prevail.

Stand United, or Fall Divided: Basic Game Theory

Strategists in the West approach each targeted nation, including Libya and now Syria, employing a form of game theory assuming that those they interact with, friend and foe alike, “play” using the dominant strategy - meaning, each “player” picks the best strategy resulting in the maximum benefit for themselves only, regardless of how other “players” play. This means that the West approaches two opposition factions in any given nation, makes their intentions of moving in known, and offers each the chance to defect. Defectors are given calculated benefits and losses, while their opposition will be eliminated entirely. While in reality, both factions stand the most to gain if they thwart the vastly superior West from plundering their nation, neither considers this an option because of a combination of intellectual flaws, thus both will lose more, even under the most favorable outcomes.

The West specifically targets and favors those faction with the most flaws in character, intellect, motivation etc., as in any conflict, those ruled by emotions and irrational methodology are infinitely easier to manipulate.

In Libya, had the rebels of Cyrenaica worked with Qaddafi to expel foreign encroachment and worked to divide an intact and unified Libya’s wealth amongst themselves, they would have both vastly benefited more than even the sole victors are now. Instead, the West was able to prey on the arrogance, ideology, animosity, ignorance, and prejudices of both factions, wearing both down, dividing the remaining victor, and will, in time, eventually even eliminate them altogether. The same can be seen playing out in the perpetually divided Iraq and the same will certainly happen in Syria.

The age old axiom of standing united, or falling divided, is just as relevant today as ever. Understanding the true fault-lines running through humanity, between the global corporate-financier oligarchy and everyone else, and disallowing artificial fault-lines to be imposed upon us allows us to stand united against our true enemies and prevail. The moment we begin fighting amongst ourselves, regardless of who prevails, we all ultimately lose.

Russian Security advisors in Syria.

.
.
.
.
There are American, Turkish, Israeli and NATO security advisers helping the 15,000 "al-CIA-Duh" terrorists destabilize and destroy Syria through Turkey, Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan and in some cases within the country.

Russia after one year has finally decided to send a handful of security advisers to help the embattled Assad regime, in a fight of its life.

The Russians have typically been weak, and ineffective in protecting their strategic interests in the region, and the only remaining ally in the Arab Middle East. This is because of the nature of Russian governments since 1991, where there has been a considerable loss of national confidence, after the collapse of the Soviet Union...and the Russian state subsequently has mildly accepted USA/NATO humble pie with aggressive encroachment into its natural sphere without clearly countering such measures significantly.

This Russian weakness encourages greater bolder aggression against Russia, and around the world.

It is not out of "Russian sentimentality" that Russia must send more security men to Syria.

It is not out charity that Russia must send significantly more security men to Syria.

It is not out of of love and loyalty for the last remaining Arab ally of 54 years which compels Russia to send significantly more security men to Syria.

Russia must send thousands more security men to Syria to defend Russia, ultimately.

The USA/NATO program of installing "al-CIA-duh" regimes in the Middle East is not de-linked to Russia's ultimate fate.....running through Iran, Afghanistan, and Central Asia.

Russia will spend $800 billion more on arms in the next few years. What for?....to parade the equipment in desolate military bases in Siberia?

The Jews looted Russia of $2 trillion worth of assets into Israel, Switzerland, London and Cyprus from 1991, when they deliberately collapsed the Soviet Union...and then invited Jewish economic advisors from the USA to destroy the post-Soviet economy. They appointed Yeltsin as their controlled drunken, clownish, shameful, disgraceful, front.

It is not Yeltsin who destroyed Russia in the 1990's, it was the Jewish International machine and system.

Then when the crimes of Yeltsin became too much, even for some Jews in Russia.....the Jews brought in another puppet of their's......a KGB officer called Vladimir Putin. I do not know the inner dynamics, but Putin then expelled his own Jewish puppet master Boris Abramovich Berezovsky the Jew Oligarch.

Some say Putin is Jewish. Some say Putin represents the mafia which destroys the shop covertly, and then rebuilds it
publicly. Putin was too friendly with Bush II even into 2008, whilst the USA surrounded Russia with NATO bases, and has turned a total blind eye to Pentagon heroin trafficking from Afghanistan into Russia via Central Asia......which has turned 3 million Russians into drug addicts and kills 100,000 Russians each year.

The more Russians die from Afghan heroin, the more efforts are made by the Russian state to facilitate NATO/USA operations in Afghanistan..........falsely, inaccurately DELIBERATELY???? ignoring the fact that it is ORGANIZED PENTAGON heroin that comes into Russia via Central Asia and "al-CIA-duh" is run by American Intelligence.....and is a continuation of "Operation Cyclone" from the 1980's.

Whatever the efforts of the Jews and secret Jews against Russia, real Russians must struggle for their country.

Russian Anti-Terror Troops Deploy in Syria

Major Fighting Reported in Damascus

by Jason Ditz at antiwar.com

A unit for Russian anti-terror troops has been deployed inside Syria, according to Russia’s Interfax news agency, a move which UN sources termed a “bomb” with the potential of serious ramifications on the ongoing civil war.

The nature of the revelation and the scant details are somewhat curious. The troops were apparently on the Iman, which has been docked in Tartus for 10 days, and the report was headline news on the state-run RIA Novosti, but only in the Arabic-language version.

Russian Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov has denied claims that Russian troops were operating on the ground in Syria, though he did confirm “advisers” were on the ground. The nature and size of the current deployment is not readily apparent.

The deployment comes as fighting is escalating again in the nation, with major clashes reported in Damascus. Rebels also bombed a security convoy in Daraa, killing eight soldiers.

The continued fighting is going to have a major impact on France’s UN Security Council resolution, which is expected to both condemn the Assad regime and endorse Kofi Annan’s efforts at a negotiated settlement.

The second part is perhaps more significant, as efforts to condemn Assad are nothing new, but this is the first time France, or indeed any of the Western nations in the security council, has hinted at any real support for negotiation, instead of issuing demands for regime change.

Most Americans don't want more wars for Israel

Presumably that also means Israel does not start wars, which the USA later joins.

Or that the USA does not enable Israel to start wars, which consequently drag-queens the USA in.

78 Percent of Americans Oppose Invading Syria

Strong Opposition Also Seen to Arming Rebels

by Jason Ditz at antiwar.com

A new Fox News Poll is showing overwhelming opposition among American voters to a potential US invasion of Syria, with fully 78 percent of respondees rejecting the idea of sending ground troops to intervene in the nation’s civil war.

The poll also showed solid opposition to lesser forms of military intervention, with 68 percent opposing air strikes aimed at regime change and 64 percent opposing the US arming the rebel factions.

A separate Pew Research poll also showed strong opposition to US intervention, with some 64 percent of Americans saying that the US does not have a responsibility to “do something about” the ongoing fighting in the nation.

The polls are being spun as “in-line” with American opposition to the attack on Libya last year, which the Obama Administration did anyhow. With Libya already in the process of falling apart at the seams, however, it may be difficult for the president to start yet another war on that model.

Long Live Popular Secular Moderate Ba'athist Syria.

.
.
.
.
It was always a mystery why the USA so aggressively led a campaign of destabilization and terrorism, and verbal violence against the mild meek Assad regime. Syria whilst trying to balance its friendship with Russia tried its best to also accommodate the USA and its Israeli led geo-strategy in the region up to a point.

It was retreating in Lebanon, a country otherwise historically part of Syria and "Al-Shams", and it didn't openly support any terrorist groups either.


But led by Israel, the USA decided that what the region and the world really needed was "al-CIA-duh" around which USA geo-strategy in the whole world would be established. This policy would also project little Israel as an Island of civilization, with their Mossad operatives hyperventilating around the world, purportedly on a noble mission to save other nations from the perils of "Islamic Fundamentalism" and Mossad "cooperation".....India.

According to Russian Intelligence the USA, with the help of its NATO dogs have up to 15,000 armed "al-CIA-duh" terrorists in the country, destabilizing the country. For the USA this is normal fare which has been done millions of times before to other mostly Third World countries, since the days of crypto-Jew Teddy Roosevelt.

The plan is to install the Controlled Opposition 'enemy' al-CIA-duh regime in Damascus, and there after smash the country with the full might of the combined coalition of the USA/NATO/Israel neo-Crusader force.....against the Islamic Hordes of Damascus, based on righteous indignation against yet another de-legitimated compromised regime;............. As was the case with Iran from 1978, Hamas Palestine from 1970's, the Taliban Afghanistan from 1994, Somalia since the 1990's and Yemen since the late 1990's.....and soon Libya, Tunisia and Egypt with ascendant Islamic Brotherhood affiliated parties in power.....but the stench of the Arab Spring is too near for them to be demonized just yet, with the later three. These three have to establish their Islamic credentials, then be appropriately heckled and demonized by the neo-Crusader forces, and then attacked at an opportune time of Israel's choosing.

In that holistic sense American geo-strategy in the world is not American, it is rather written in Israel.......who desires crude "al-CIA-duh" affiliated regimes in ALL Arab regimes, followed by USA/NATO actions against these vile installed puppet regimes.

The challenge for patriotic Americans is to de-conflate Israeli LIKUD geo-strategic objectives with American geo-strategic objectives, and then follow it up with appropriate measures.

What that simply means is USA officials unmistakably contradicting Israeli Likud policy, and rebutting the logic of Tel a Viv in a rational clear manner in the USA media, again, again and again.

US Officials: Assad Regime May Survive Syria Revolt

US officials are also starting to admit that the protest movement-turned-armed resistance may not represent the popular will

by John Glaser at antiwar.com

Top U.S. officials are acknowledging that the violent anti-government revolt in Syria may not represent a majority of the Syrian people and that the regime of President Bashar al-Assad may survive the rebellion.

The admission is significant because U.S. officials have for months referred to the unrest as a popular uprising and publicly called for the end of Assad’s rule, which they claimed was imminent anyhow. President Obama said on Tuesday, ”ultimately, this dictator will fall.”

The Obama administration has made it a matter of policy to aid the Syrian opposition in their quest to overthrow Assad. But that policy will be much more difficult to justify if even U.S. policymakers admit that the opposition fighters represent a small minority of Syrians in a violent civil war.

Despite army defections to the so-called Free Syrian Army and some other bureaucratic defections from Assad’s rule, U.S. officials have anonymously admitted, Assad’s rule remains largely intact. Plus, with continuing military and economic aid from allies like Russia and Iran, the regime appears firmly entrenched, contrary to statements from the Obama administration in recent weeks.

The Obama administration thus far has been reluctant to commit to an actual military campaign against the Assad government, but recent changes in policy began to make it seem like such a campaign was fast approaching. Pushing for regime change in Syria – that is, gaining another strategic foothold in the region and knocking out one of Iran’s main allies – is much harder for them to justify if it can’t be branded as being aligned with the popular will or as some humanitarian mission.

"al-CIA-duh" of Western Intelligence.

.
.
.
.

Tony Cartalucci at Infowars.com

Just in time for the “Friends of Syria” conference led by former imperialists Britain and France who appear to be piecemeal reassembling their empires under the cover of US-led, NATO-backed “revolutions,” the world was treated to a spectacularly timed “casus belli.” It was dubiously reported by Western media that the Syrian government had intentionally shelled the position of British and French journalists in the city of Homs for the explicit purpose of “silencing them.” The reports claimed that the attacks were planned and broadcast over easily intercepted radio traffic picked up by intelligence officers in Lebanon. It would turn out that these journalists had illegally entered the country.


Photo: Conroy, second from left wearing a blue “press” vest, embraces terrorist Belhaj (4th from left wearing green army fatigues) and his men during a photo-op in NATO-ravaged Libya. The photo was featured on “Syrian Truth,” one of the many Western-backed propaganda fronts operating in both Syria and out of London. The photo itself first appeared in Conroy’s own report on Libya found in the Liverpool Echo. Both Conroy and Belhaj would next head to Syria after finishing their roles in destroying Libya.

Two journalists were allegedly killed, and others allegedly wounded including British “freelance journalist” Paul Conroy. After being evacuated, Conroy would make an impassioned plea for someone to stop what he called a “massacre beyond measure.” One wonders how exactly a military operation conducted against admittedly armed militants holding a city hostage can be called a “massacre,” and why despite Conroy and his colleagues having been in Homs, failed to justify with substantial evidence these claims.

One also must question the legitimacy and credibility of someone like Conroy who helped manipulate public perception against Qaddafi’s Libya now overrun by terrorist death squads he had previously posed with in pictures and called “freedom fighters.” Conroy didn’t just pose with young kids caught up in the fighting, he literally had his arms around Al Qaeda operative Abdel Hakim Belhaj and his retinue for a photo opportunity with the ruination of Libya as a backdrop.

Belhaj (aka al-Hasidi) admittedly fought US and British troops in Afghanistan. He was even captured and imprisoned by the US before being returned to Libya where Qaddafi kept him imprisoned until he disingenuously recanted his methods. Upon release, he would immediately be armed and backed by NATO in overthrowing Qaddafi and plunging Libya into the state of lawless terror it now enjoys. Belhaj’s organization, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), is still listed by the US State Department and the British Home Office as an international terrorist organization. Not only did they kill US and British troops in Afghanistan, but they had operated in Iraq as well, this according to a West Point Combating Terrorism Center report.

Belhaj, like Conroy, would quickly pack his bags and head for Syria after NATO had finished its regime change operation in Libya, with British Petroleum, Total, Shell-funded Petroleum Institute representative Abdurrahim el-Keib installed as “Prime Minister.” The Telegraph would report in November 2011 that Belhaj met with senior leaders of the “Free Syrian Army” on the Turkish-Syrian border. It was reported that Belhaj was pledging weapons and money (both of which he receives from NATO) as well as sending LIFG fighters to train and fight alongside Syrian militants.

VoltaireNet.org would confirm Belhaj and his LIFG’s role in not just assisting Syrian militants but in fact leading them in NATO’s armed destabilization of Syria.

It is with this backdrop, that we can then read again Conroy’s “impassioned pleas.” He is pleading for NATO to do to Syria what it has done to Libya. Not liberate it nor protect civilians, but to hand it over to confirmed foreign terrorists, listed to this day as such, who are now roaming the streets of Libya’s once proud cities torturing, murdering, and looting alley-to-alley with absolute impunity as NATO’s proxy government facilitates nationwide looting by Western contractors.

Conroy has demonstratively associated with known terrorists, and as such has potentially violated both American and his native British government’s provisions regarding “providing material support or resources to designated foreign terrorist organizations.” Thus, instead of humoring his baseless pandering on behalf of foreign militants, he should be exposed, publicly accused and tried for violating both national and international law. If Conroy is considered a “good guy,” one we should feel sympathy for and whose pleas should stir our emotions and bodies to action, the West has clearly reached an unprecedented level of moral and intellectual bankruptcy.

Conroy literally embraced men who were responsible for the death of US and British troops, who died under the false impression they were fighting a worthy cause against the forces of terror — the very forces now being handed nation after nation in the wake of US led, NATO-backed destabilization across the Arab World. He is no hero, nor a “good guy.” He and the men he associates with, as well those who give these men platforms to spread their lies like the Guardian, are the shame of modern Western civilization.

It is time for people to make a decision. Either we stand for the truth and condemn what is wrong regardless of who, what, where, when, and why, or we stand for nothing. Conroy has clearly made his choice in supporting known-terrorists. Russia and China with their sensible UNSC vetoes obstructing (temporarily) this ongoing NATO atrocity, have made theirs.

Western destabilisation of Syria via three neighboring countries

.
.
.
.
It is good that the Russian Press is being objective, and is highlighting the crimes and injustice against the legitimate, and generally popular SECULAR Assad government in Syria, using the services of "al-CIA-duh".

In the old days during the era of the Soviet Union, the country would have decisively stood with Syria pouring arms and military personnel into the country. The Soviet Union would have stood firmly with a strategic partner of 50 years. But now Russia is run by weak leaders who are constantly surprised again and again and again (running for 14 years since the Serbia NATO attack? Or was it from the imposition of Yeltsin with his Washington economic advisers from 1991?) with the treachery of Washington.

These weak leaders in Moscow then make meaningless worthless speeches about how beastly and unfair Washington is.


Syria requires REAL significant help in its hour of peril and need. It doesn't need Russia to hold its hands whilst negotiations begin between the Assad government and non-"al-CIA-duh" opposition to the Damascus government. These peaceful elements based in Turkey aren't the real problem, and will not solve the problem of USA/NATO aggression against Syria (even if negotiations succeed).

The problem is the USA/NATO.........and the USA's grand designs for the world since the collapse of the Soviet Union.(The Neo-con "Project for a New American Century" 2000 aligning with Israel's geo-strategic objectives in the Greater Middle East, and the Neo-liberal objectives outlined in "the Grand Chessboard" of Brzezinski in Eurasia)

To put it simply for those who haven't got the picture yet, Syria's problems are linked to Iran, and which is linked to Central Asia, which is linked to Russia eventually.

It is welcomed that Putin is investing in $800 billion into defense over the next few years...and one hopes this is earnestly carried out. However it is also a good idea for the ultimate defense of Russia that the country invests substantial security resources into Syria as well.........think of it as investing and testing the new equipment and tactics in Republican Spain during 1936--39.

Syria requires SIGNIFICANT help securing its borders with Iraq, Turkey and Lebanon......and significant presence of Spetznaz's in Syria to fight side by side with the Syrian security forces......as well as bolstering its air defense.

We do not need to mention that if the USA/NATO succeed too easily in Syria, it will be an enormous blow to Russian security in its Southern flanks.....with the onward oxymoron march of "al-CIA-duh" and Washington's NGO funded Human Rights and Democracy into Russia.

FIGHT "al-CIA-duh" in Syria....NOW......send the Spetznaz in, help Syria secure its borders, bolster its air-defense beyond a few S-300 batteries. These help does not have to be publicized.

Russia’s secret service : Lebanon, Iraq, Turkey supply arms to Syrian opposition:

By Itar-Tass and information clearing house


Armed groups of Syria’s opposition from the rebel force known as the Syrian Liberation Army get more and more weapons from abroad, a source in Russia’s secret services told Itar-Tass on Friday.


“Huge batches of small arms and munitions for the Syrian Liberation Army’s troops are supplied from Lebanon, Iraq and Turkey, but unofficially, not through these countries’ governments,” the source said. “The supply list includes submachine guns, machine guns, sniper rifles and antitank grenade launchers.”

Russia’s military expert, Lieutenant General Leonid Sazhin told Itar-Tass that “the scenario that has already been developed and administered by the United States and their NATO allies, mainly by France, Britain and Turkey, as well as the monarchy regimes from the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf, in particular Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, is being implemented in Syria.”

“This scenario was developed taking into account recent events in Libya, Egypt and other countries of the region with only one reservation – the lack of the UN Security Council resolution needed for the West. In fact, we see an unannounced military interference of some NATO member-states and countries of the region into Syria’s domestic affairs, who side with one of the conflicting parties – the armed opposition,” he said.

Sazhin noted that in addition to the Syrian National Council Syria’s refugees and army deserters in Turkey create a military structure - Supreme Revolutionary Council – led by Syrian army general Mustafa Ahmed al-Sheikh, who deserted to neighbouring Turkey.

“The main task of the Supreme Revolutionary Council is to coordinate actions of the armed opposition on the Syrian territory and to engage to its ranks new members both in Syria and beyond its borders to oust Bashar al-Assad exclusively through the use of force,” he said.

“As concerns weapons supplied to the troops of the Syrian Liberation Army, most of them were in service with the armed forces of former members of the Warsaw Treaty. After the countries joined NATO and re-equipped its troops with NATO’s samples, weapons were collected and piled up at storage facilities and depots, from where they are now taken and flow to Syria,” he said.

The expert did not rule out that some weapons can be fake Soviet weapon systems.

Is this a surprise?

.
.
.
.
What was already known has become official fact....."al-CIA-duh" wants to mass its forces against Syria, thus reading from the same hymn sheet as the State Department. This was also the case in Libya, Egypt and Tunisia.......where some of its prominent members fought alongside USA/NATO.

This of course is not irony or coincidence.

All it simply means is that "al-CIA-duh" is a fiction created by Western/Israeli intelligence. Better to fight as "al-CIA-duh" then as hired guns of the USA/NATO.

Al-Qaeda in Syria Accused of ‘Hijacking’ Revolution

Zawahri Cashing in On (USA orchestrated) Anti-Assad Anger, But He's Not the Only One

by Jason Ditz, antiwar.com

Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri’s video urging jihadists to jump on the Syrian revolution bandwagon and the reports of significant fighters crossing the border from Iraq have added to the fears that a civil war is brewing. They have also raised questions of what al-Qaeda’s role will be.

Unsurprisingly, the global militant faction has been eager in jumping on board an uprising in mostly-Sunni Syria against a Shi’ite led regime. But the angry response at al-Qaeda trying to cash in on the rebellion, ranging from claims that the whole thing is an Assad lie to concerns expressed by many that al-Qaeda is “hijacking the revolution,” bring a whole new element of intrigue to the already complex situation.

The reality is that al-Qaeda has tried to cash in on anti-regime sentiment all over the place, and this is par for the course for them. The anger at the prospect of the revolution being “hijacked” by them likewise ignores the obvious: this uprising has already been hijacked numerous times since it began.

What started as a small pro-democracy rally morphed quickly into a nationwide movement, and once it reached that critical mass, groups of exiles like the Syrian National Council (SNC) tried to claim leadership. They were quickly supplanted by the Turkish government-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA), and everyone from NATO to the Arab League has claimed the revolution as uniquely theirs to embrace.

The non-violent protest movement is now all but forgotten, and al-Qaeda’s attempts to claim the rebellion are no more or less legitimate than anyone else’s. With so many international groups hoping to cynically extract some advantage by regime change in Syria, one could hardly expect al-Qaeda to stay on the sidelines.

Syria is being attacked from Turkey, Lebanon AND IRAQ by "al-CIA-duh"

.
.
.
.
There was no "al-CIA-duh" in Iraq before 2003, when CIA Saddam was in power, but following the JEWSA invasion "al-Qaeda" appeared in the scene.

The purpose of the "al-CIA-duh" hologram in Iraq between 2003--2012 was to:

1. Justify "The El Salvador Option" initiated by the Pentagon to kill as many Iraqis as possible, destroy the country with its infrastructure; break it into sectarian pieces; cover the huge theft of Iraqi oil and its remaining state assets........criminals from the USA sighted going to the Gulf States with their $ which acted as off shore accounts of the $billions stolen from USA taxpayers and the Iraqi nation. Finally the imposition of a new puppet elite with fealty to the USA......the Shia.

2. Israeli terrorism in Iraq, and the imposition of its particular agenda, as military "advisers" to the USA Pentagon.

3. To produce a justification of the GWoT narrative in Iraq and the world, in the absence of not finding WMD's.

4. Better to fight them over there, then to fight them in the USA.....fairy tale justification.

There are about 15000 Americans still in Iraq, most of them related to American security. Thus it is not surprising that the implausible hologram "al-CIA-duh" should launch attacks against Syria, NOW, when American troops occupy Libya and Afghanistan.

Thus it is not surprising that the implausible hologram "al-CIA-duh" should launch attacks against Syria, NOW from Iraq, given that that is exactly the objective of the USA government (the removal of the legitimate popular government of Bashar al-Assad).

The intelligence appears to verify Assad's claim that al-Qaeda terrorists are involved with the uprising

by John Glaser at antiwar.com

Elements of al-Qaeda’s affiliates in Iraq have been moving into Syria to distribute weapons to the opposition and to carry out attacks against the regime of Bashar al-Assad, according to U.S. and Iraqi officials.

These terrorists, often described as al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) carried out two recent bombings in the Syrian capital, Damascus, and likely was behind the suicide bombings on Friday in the city of Aleppo that killed at least 28 people, anonymous U.S. officials told McClatchy Newspapers.

Iraq’s Deputy Interior Minister Adnan al-Assadi said in an interview with the press on Saturday that AQI has snuck across the border to aid the Syrian opposition forces with arms. ”We have intelligence information that a number of Iraqi jihadists went to Syria,” he said, adding that “weapons smuggling is still ongoing” from Iraq into Syria.

“The weapons are being smuggled from Mosul through the Rabia crossing to Syria, as members of the same families live on both sides of the border,” Assadi said.

There is not yet substantial independent confirmation or evidence of these claims made by U.S. and Iraqi officials, but if it’s true it may pose a number of problems. First, the claims appear to verify Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s allegations that al-Qaeda terrorists have been involved with the uprising against his regime and go against claims by the Syrian opposition which held that Assad’s regime had staged the bombings to discredit those calling that have protested this past year.

This would harm claims by some influential figures in Washington that the U.S. ought to support the armed groups like the Free Syrian Army fighting the Assad regime. If they’re allied with al-Qaeda, it would be a difficult political sell (although the NATO-backed rebels in Libya also had similar ties).

On the other hand, there could be an attempt by Washington to use al-Qaeda’s alleged presence in Syria as a justification for a full-scale military intervention. The case could easily be made that al-Qaeda fighters and their comrades in the opposition are manifestly separate from the protest movement and that al-Qaeda’s presence in Syria is grounds for intervention under the incredibly broad mandate of the “global war on terrorism.”

(John this sounds a bit incredible.....maybe possible in the cartoonish world of Bush II in 2002/3, but less so now.......nice try)

The Pentagon and U.S. Central Command are currently reviewing possible U.S. military options against the Syrian regime and the specter of a proxy war of world powers in Syria has been raised as of late. But there is no indication yet of which posture the U.S. is taking in light of this supposed intelligence of jihadists in Syria.

Assad's Secular Socialist Syria is fighting Eretz Israel through USA/NATO and Doenme Turkey

Philip Giraldi is a former CIA analyst who takes a critical position of the USA's expensive, illegal, worthless wars for Avahat Eretz Israel.(Though he does not explicitly identify the ultimate objective of Avahat Eretz Israel, or why the JEWSA goes to so much trouble for such an objective)

Syria's options are simple given the objectives outlined by the writer below by the NATO/USA for Israel, against Assad's Syria.

(i) Seal the border between Turkey/Syria, with electrified fences and mines. Russia has expertise in this area, and the capacity to build effective border control entities/structures. Russia/Iran have the funds....Syria has the manpower.

(ii) Station at least 200,000 security personnel on the Syrian/Turkish border. Police, paramilitary and army.

(iii) Install watch towers on the border.

(iv) Install movement activated lights on the Syrian/Turkish border.

(v) Install listening devices near the Syrian Turkish border.

(vi) Do likewise on the Mediterranean coast, and the Lebanese border.

(vii) Expel all Westerners from Syria.

The funding for this project could be $10 billion but Russia, Iran and Syria have the money to undertake it.

Let NATO/USA know that Syria means business, and is serious.

NATO vs. Syria

By Philip Giraldi at the American Conservative.

Americans should be concerned about what is happening in Syria, if only because it threatens to become another undeclared war like Libya but much, much worse.

Calls for regime change have come from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who several weeks ago predicted a civil war. That is indeed likely if the largely secular and nationalist regime of Bashar al-Assad falls, pitting Sunni against Shia against Alawite. Indigenous Christians will be caught in the meat grinder. Ironically, many of the Christians in Damascus are Iraqis who experienced the last round of liberation in their own country and had to flee for their lives.

NATO is already clandestinely engaged in the Syrian conflict, with Turkey taking the lead as U.S. proxy. Ankara’s foreign minister, Ahmet Davitoglu, has openly admitted that his country is prepared to invade as soon as there is agreement among the Western allies to do so. The intervention would be based on humanitarian principles, to defend the civilian population based on the “responsibility to protect” doctrine that was invoked to justify Libya. Turkish sources suggest that intervention would start with creation of a buffer zone along the Turkish-Syrian border and then be expanded. Aleppo, Syria’s largest and most cosmopolitan city, would be the crown jewel targeted by liberation forces.

Unmarked NATO warplanes are arriving at Turkish military bases close to Iskenderum on the Syrian border, delivering weapons from the late Muammar Gaddafi’s arsenals as well as volunteers from the Libyan Transitional National Council who are experienced in pitting local volunteers against trained soldiers, a skill they acquired confronting Gaddafi’s army. Iskenderum is also the seat of the Free Syrian Army, the armed wing of the Syrian National Council. French and British special forces trainers are on the ground, assisting the Syrian rebels while the CIA and U.S. Spec Ops are providing communications equipment and intelligence to assist the rebel cause, enabling the fighters to avoid concentrations of Syrian soldiers.

CIA analysts are skeptical regarding the march to war. The frequently cited United Nations report that more than 3,500 civilians have been killed by Assad’s soldiers is based largely on rebel sources and is uncorroborated. The Agency has refused to sign off on the claims. Likewise, accounts of mass defections from the Syrian Army and pitched battles between deserters and loyal soldiers appear to be a fabrication, with few defections being confirmed independently. Syrian government claims that it is being assaulted by rebels who are armed, trained, and financed by foreign governments are more true than false.

In the United States, many friends of Israel are on the Assad regime-change bandwagon, believing that a weakened Syria, divided by civil war, will present no threat to Tel Aviv. But they should think again, as these developments have a way of turning on their head. The best organized and funded opposition political movement in Syria is the Muslim Brotherhood.

Assad's Secular Socialist Syria

And so "al-CIA-duh" rebels posing as ardent righteous patriots commit terrorism in Syria from the safe haven of Doenme Turkey. They are backed by NATO forces who direct them, as they did in Libya recently.

The JEWSA directed objective is to install a militant Wahabi Sunni based "al-CIA-duh" type of government in Damascus, as they are doing in Libya, Tunisia and Egypt. This is a long PROCESS where by many Middle-East countries will have "al-CIA-duh' affiliated governments, leaving Israel as the only pure Democracy.........remember this is a LONG PROCESS....planned many years ago. Thereafter these "al-CIA-duh" run states will have to be attacked directly by USA/NATO forces to "protect" Israel........Twisted logic? Not really, if you are dreaming of Avahat Erezt Israel.





In Syria ethnicity cannot be used to divide and rule the country, as in Libya (dark skinned Libyans against light skinned Libyans....Eastern Libyan tribal groups verses Western Libyans), and so religion will be used.

In Syria there are Sunni Muslims, Alawite Muslims (branch of Shia Islam.....hence why Syria has close relations with Shia Iran, and Shia Hezbollah), Christians and Druze.

Baathist Socialism under the Assad's have suppressed any religious extremism......indeed in Homs and Hama in 1982, when Western funded Muslim Brotherhood members attempted an uprising they were brutally suppressed, resulting in the death of 20--30,000 people in those two cities. Assad in that sense has a long way to go, before he surpasses his fathers record.


The elite around Assad are Alawite and are a minority propagated by the colonial French originally.


Should Bashar al-Assad lose to "al-CIA-duh" backed by NATO/USA power, then it will be a catastrophe for the country in the manner of Iraq after the USA occupied the country, viciously, maliciously and criminally. Targeted groups for massacre would be:


(i) Ba-athist members of the ruling party, tens of thousands of men and women, educated, middle class and skilled. This is what happened in Iraq, under American control.

(ii) Syrian Christians, among the oldest Christian groups......in the manner of Iraq where the country's once proud one million Christian community has been decimated into forced exile all over the world.....whilst the country was under USA control. "al-CIA-duh" will ensure their cleansing from Syria, where they have lived for 2000 years.


The Assyrians/Syriacs are significant ethnic Christian minorities that mainly live in the north and northeast (al-Qamishli, al-Hasakah) and number around 877,000–1,200,000 in Syria.

Armenians number approximately 190,000. Syria holds the 7th largest Armenian population in the world.


(iii) The next targeted group will obviously be the Alawites, ALL 3.5 million of them. They will not be tolerated in the new "al-CIA-duh" Salafist Wahabi Sunni Muslim Brotherhood Syria. No compromise for them.

(iv) The next targeted group will be the secular middle class intellectuals, and technocratic class.....many of them still believe in Socialism, many do not. But the main thing is they do not believe in theocratic states. As with Mullah Iran, with its 5 million Iranian emigres, and the destroyed technocratic class of Iraq, the same will be repeated in Syria.....GUARANTEED.


(v) Then finally the Druze will be targeted, since they are not considered Muslims.

Druze number around 700,000, and concentrate mainly in the southern area of Jabal al-Druze.

This millenia's old cosmopolitan society will be uprooted and destroyed to satisfy the lust for empire of the Jew, through the fifth column front of "al-CIA-duh" and criminal NATO/USA forces.

A lot more good people will die in Syria if the "al-CIA-duh" come to power through the backing of NATO/USA.

Remember only 10,000 mostly Iraqi soldiers died when the USA invaded Iraq in 2003, BUT under 8 years of occupation by the USA with the arrival of "al-CIA-duh" in the scene, allegedly 1.5 million people have died, and 5 million have become internal and external exiles in Iraq.


Despite the hysteria of the BBC, very few people died in the Iranian uprising of 1978-79 backed by the USA/UK.....a few hundred at most. Since 1979, maybe 1 million Iranians have died through unnecessary wars, internal political wars, and the application of very harsh theocratic laws in the country. 5 million good educated skilled Iranians have elected to leave their country.

I suppose its all too obvious a point, but Bashar al-Assad must fight fight fight for his country, and for his people. ..........because what will come under "al-CIA-duh" will be catastrophic for the country. Better to lose 5,000---50,000 people battling "al-CIA-duh" and NATO-USA forces NOW, then losing 500,000--5,000,000 LATER under the control of "al-CIA-duh" with Israeli, American and NATO forces crawling ALL over the country in support of the "al-CIA-duh" regime (Libya).

"al-CIA-duh" in power in Damascus will be a perfect foil for repeated Israeli raids into the country in the manner of Hezbollah Lebanon, and Hamas Gaza.

Syria must find clear credible allies such as Russia, Iran and China.

Syria needs to enter into secret agreements where by its embargoed oil is sold via Russia and Iran......400,000 barrels is but a drop in the international petroleum market but its revenue will be a Godsend to the Assad regime.

If USA/NATO forces can be stationed near Syria in Doenme Turkey, why can't Russia and Iran station thousands of troops supporting the Syrian army, fighting 'al-CIA-duh"?

Can Syrian intelligence infiltrate, and follow rebel forces into Turkey, Lebanon? How difficult can it be? Can Kurdish groups be trained to attack Turkey?

In all events Bashar al-Assad should not think of exiling himself to the Gulf. He must serve his country's people against the International criminals and terrorists.

Most Syrians back President Assad, but you'd never know from western media
Assad's popularity, Arab League observers, US military involvement: all distorted in the west's propaganda war

By Jonathan Steele in the Guardian and information Clearing House.

Suppose a respectable opinion poll found that most Syrians are in favour of Bashar al-Assad remaining as president, would that not be major news? Especially as the finding would go against the dominant narrative about the Syrian crisis, and the media considers the unexpected more newsworthy than the obvious.

Alas, not in every case. When coverage of an unfolding drama ceases to be fair and turns into a propaganda weapon, inconvenient facts get suppressed. So it is with the results of a recent YouGov Siraj poll on Syria commissioned by The Doha Debates, funded by the Qatar Foundation. Qatar's royal family has taken one of the most hawkish lines against Assad – the emir has just called for Arab troops to intervene – so it was good that The Doha Debates published the poll on its website. The pity is that it was ignored by almost all media outlets in every western country whose government has called for Assad to go.

The key finding was that while most Arabs outside Syria feel the president should resign, attitudes in the country are different. Some 55% of Syrians want Assad to stay, motivated by fear of civil war – a specter that is not theoretical as it is for those who live outside Syria's borders. What is less good news for the Assad regime is that the poll also found that half the Syrians who accept him staying in power believe he must usher in free elections in the near future. Assad claims he is about to do that, a point he has repeated in his latest speeches. But it is vital that he publishes the election law as soon as possible, permits political parties and makes a commitment to allow independent monitors to watch the poll.

Biased media coverage also continues to distort the Arab League's observer mission in Syria. When the
league endorsed a no-fly zone in Libya last spring, there was high praise in the west for its action. Its decision to mediate in Syria was less welcome to western governments, and to high-profile Syrian opposition groups, who increasingly support a military rather than a political solution. So the league's move was promptly called into doubt by western leaders, and most western media echoed the line. Attacks were launched on the credentials of the mission's Sudanese chairman. Criticisms of the mission's performance by one of its 165 members were headlined. Demands were made that the mission pull out in favor of UN intervention.

The critics presumably feared that the Arab observers would report that armed violence is no longer confined to the regime's forces, and the image of peaceful protests brutally suppressed by army and police is false. Homs and a few other Syrian cities are becoming like Beirut in the 1980s or Sarajevo in the 1990s, with battles between militias raging across sectarian and ethnic fault lines.

As for foreign military intervention, it has already started. It is not following the Libyan pattern since Russia and China are furious at the west's deception in the security council last year. They will not accept a new United Nations resolution that allows any use of force. The model is an older one, going back to the era of the cold war, before "humanitarian intervention" and the "responsibility to protect" were developed and often misused. Remember Ronald Reagan's support for the Contras, whom he armed and trained to try to topple Nicaragua's Sandinistas from bases in Honduras? For Honduras read Turkey, the safe haven where the so-called Free Syrian Army has set up.

Here too western media silence is dramatic. No reporters have followed up on a significant recent
article by Philip Giraldi, a former CIA officer who now writes for the American Conservative – a magazine that criticises the American military-industrial complex from a non-neocon position on the lines of Ron Paul, who came second in last week's New Hampshire Republican primary. Giraldi states that Turkey, a Nato member, has become Washington's proxy and that unmarked Nato warplanes have been arriving at Iskenderum, near the Syrian border, delivering Libyan volunteers and weapons seized from the late Muammar Gaddafi's arsenal. "French and British special forces trainers are on the ground," he writes, "assisting the Syrian rebels, while the CIA and US Spec Ops are providing communications equipment and intelligence to assist the rebel cause, enabling the fighters to avoid concentrations of Syrian soldiers …"

As the danger of full-scale war increases, Arab League foreign ministers are preparing to meet in Cairo this weekend to discuss the future of their Syrian mission. No doubt there will be western media reports highlighting remarks by those ministers who feel the mission has "lost credibility", "been duped by the regime" or "failed to stop the violence". Counter-arguments will be played down or suppressed.


In spite of the provocations from all sides the league should stand its ground. Its mission in Syria has seen peaceful demonstrations both for and against the regime. It has witnessed, and in some cases suffered from, violence by opposing forces. But it has not yet had enough time or a large enough team to talk to a comprehensive range of Syrian actors and then come up with a clear set of recommendations. Above all, it has not even started to fulfill that part of its mandate requiring it to help produce a dialogue between the regime and its critics. The mission needs to stay in Syria and not be bullied out.

'No military solution to Syria crisis'

Retired Turkish Major General Armagan Kuloglu

A senior Turkish security and defense analyst has reiterated that there is no military solution to the ongoing crisis in Syria, Press TV reports.


Retired Major General Armagan Kuloglu told Press TV on Saturday that any military intervention in Syria will be a “big mistake.”

Kuloglu, who is a top analyst in the Ankara-based Center for Middle Eastern Strategic Studies, warned that foreign states should avoid meddling in Syria's internal affairs.

He noted that implementation of a regime change scenario will not be easy in Syria, as the Syrian government is supported by Russia and China.

Kuloglu stated that Russia's decision to send a military flotilla to the eastern Mediterranean is a message that Moscow will support Syria.

The analyst also pointed out that popular support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad within his country is another factor that would make it difficult to put pressure on the Syrian government.

“At least half of Syrian people support [President] Assad,” Kuloglu noted.

He said that the crisis in Syria should be solved through acceleration in implementation of reform packages by the Syrian government.

Syria has been experiencing unrest ever since mid-March, with demonstrations being held both against and in support of Assad's government.

Hundreds of people, including Syrian security forces, have been killed during the unrest.

The Syrian government says outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorists are the driving factor behind the turmoil and deadly violence, while the opposition accuses the security forces of being behind the killings.

The Syrian government also says that the chaos is being orchestrated from outside the country and that the security forces have been given clear instructions not to harm civilians.

Ottoman Doenme Turkey

Let me see.

Egypt will be run by the Muslim Brotherhood, Tunisia is run by Islamists...and Libya by "al-CIA-duh"..........presumably the new Syrian regime backed by NATO/USA/Turkey will be "al-CIA-duh' too.

How is all this good for Turkey, and for the stability of the region, except for the possibility of more wars and greater conflict.

The bigger question is how will Russia defend Syria, with Iran....how and with what?

Turkey is Ready to Invade Syria
By M K Bhadrakumar

Turkey and its western allies are transferring the Libyan fighters whom they trained and armed to depose Muammar Gaddafi to Syria. Around 600 Libyan ‘volunteers’ have entered Syria. Daily Telegraph reported that secret meetings were held on Friday in Istanbul between the Turkish officials and the Syrian opposition representatives and the Libyan fighters. Large-scale infiltration of weapons from Turkey and Jordan have been going on for months to create civil-war conditions in Syria, but this is the first move to introduce ‘volunteers’.

The move is necessitated by the failure to induce defections form the Syrian armed forces, except a mere handful. Turkey and the western powers are desperate to create the myth of a ‘Syrian resistance’ force without which their blatant aggression will be in full display.


Moscow reacted today indicating it might supply arms to the Syrian regime to defend itself. FM Lavrov just stopped short, calling any arms embargo on Syria as ‘unfair’. Moscow has confirmed that a Russian battle group is sailing toward the Syrian naval base of Tartus on the eastern Mediterranean, close to the Turkish border with Syria. Lavrov criticised the foreign interference in Syria, but without naming Turkey, Jordan, etc.

Things seem to be heading for a flash point, indeed. The sure sign is that US V-P Joseph Biden is heading for Ankara in the weekend. It is a major signal of the US giving the go-ahead to Turkey to act on Syria without fear. Again, Jordanian King, Abdullah, travelled to israel. He is Saudi Arabia’s ‘back channel’ to Israel and a key regional ally for the western intelligence.

Turkey is indeed shedding its fear of the unknown and is coming out into the open on the Syrian situation. Turkish FM Ahmet Davitoglu indicated today for the first time that Turkey is all set for invasion of Syria once it gets the green signal from its western allies. He said this before heading for the combined meeting of EU foreign ministers and Arab League representatives (read Saudi Arabia and Qatar).

The day Davutoglu spoke, November 29, will stand out as a notable date in the chronicle of the Turkish Republic that Kemal Ataturk founded. Ataturk’s ‘red line’ used to be that Turkey should never get entangled in the affairs of the Muslim Middle East but should instead concentrate on its own ‘modernization’. Evidently, the Islamist government in power today thinks Turkey is today ‘modern’ enough already and can now go back and reclaim its Ottoman legacy.

A Turkish army moving into an Arab country - it is a historic point. It is a century after the Turks were driven out by the ‘Arab revolt’. The matrix is dripping with irony. The Arab revolt against the Turks was instigated by Great Britain. And Britain, although a far weaker power today, is still playing a seminal role - except, it is encouraging the Turks to return to the Arab world. One hundred years ago, Britain successfully pitted the Arabs against the Turks. Today, Turks join hands with some Arabs who have a grouse against some other Arabs.

No colonial intervention in Syria using "al-CIA-duh"

.
.
.
.
Of course certain BRIC countries have fresh memories of Western colonial powers wrecking havoc in their countries, and do not wish that nasty habit to develop too easily in the West again, in the wake of the Soviet Unions collapse in 1991 and the opportunity it afforded for certain globalist sections of the USA, with their European poodles.

The pre-2001 world order of global cooperation and development must be sought.

BRICS warns against Syria intervention




Russia and China along with their three partners in the BRICS group of emerging economies have warned against foreign intervention in Syria without UN approval.

By Presstv.com

In a statement issued after consultations on Thursday in Moscow, the five nations called for immediate talks between the government and opposition in Syria, Reuters reported.

The Russian representative at the meeting said Moscow rejects pressure from the Syrian opposition groups and accuses Western nations of trying to set the stage for armed intervention.

"Any external intervention that does not correspond with the United Nations Charter must be ruled out," the Russian Foreign Ministry statement said.

The Russian statement added that, "The only acceptable scenario for resolving the internal crisis in Syria is the immediate start of peaceful talks with the participation of all sides,”

The BRICS final communiqué said nations "placed a special accent on the role of (the UN Security Council), which holds primary responsibility for the support of international peace and security."

Referring to the recent events in the Middle East and North Africa, BRICS nations noted “the need for the complete adherence to human rights by all sides, in particular the authorities, in regard to protecting unarmed civilians."

The consultations of the BRICS countries brought together deputy foreign ministers of Russia and China as well as Brazil, India and South Africa.

Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March, with demonstrations held both in favor and against President Bashar al-Assad.

France became the first country to call for international intervention in Syria this week citing humanitarian grounds.

Syria insists that the unrest in the country has been largely promoted by foreign-linked armed elements that have been trying to incite violence by targeting security forces as well as ordinary protesters and blaming the government for their armed efforts.

Countless Syrian civilians and military personnel have lost their lives in the unrest.
