Turkey=the hand of the new born Zionist Jihad
Regarding the last developments of the ralation betweenTurkey and Syria Reuters said<>
Media cited Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu says Ankara will decide the future of Syria; an blatant interference in the internal affairs of the Arab country.
Turkish media quoted Davutoglu as saying on Friday that Turkey plays a major role in the political developments in Syria.
Reports say Ankara has established bases in Turkey to let foreign-sponsored terrorists, including members of al-Qaeda, sneak into Syria and smuggle weapons into the country.
Relations between Damascus and Ankara have deteriorated over the past months.
On June 21, the New York Times reported that a group of CIA officers are operating secretly in southern Turkey and that the agents are helping the anti-Syria governments decide which gangs inside the Arab country will receive arms to fight the Syrian government.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad told the Turkish Cumhuriyet daily in an interview in early July that Turkey “has supplied all logistic support to the terrorists who have killed our people.”
But Turkey’s history in sponsoring the different terrorist groups of Al Qaeda does not start with Syria
The newspaper Al-Hayat:Turkey allowed weapons to be smuggled to Al Qaeda forces in Iraq
The newspaper reports that it has gotten hold of classified official documents that prove that the the Turkish authorities allowed money and weapons to pass across Turkey’s border with Iraq, en route to Al Qaeda terrorists in Iraq.In addition, the documents show that Turkey was involved both directly and indirectly in carrying out terror acts in Iraq, including the blowing up of a bridge in Baghdad.One of the reports mentioned by Al Hayat is an intelligence cable that appears to have been sent by an American intelligence agency. The cable says: “Large amounts of water have arrived from Turkey, large waves will hit Baghdad in a few hours. Some people are widening the irrigation canals.”This message is believed to refer to the arrival of weapons from Turkey, that were intended for terror and warfare in Baghdad. Al Hayat also says that the documents show that ammunition seized in a terrorist’s apartment in Iraq in 2009 bore the markings “made in Turkey.”
The US is mounting a diplomatic damage control campaign as it prepares for the release of the documents. State Department Spokesman PJ Crowley said “These revelations are harmful to the United States and our interests. They are going to create tension in relationships between our diplomats and our friends around the world.”Crowley said the release of secret communications about foreign governments will likely the cause the US embarrassment and damage relations with other countries. “When this confidence is betrayed and ends up on the front pages of newspapers or lead stories on television or radio, it has an impact,” he said.
In the 1980’s the CIA commenced a vast covert operation to arm the anti-Soviet Mujahideen factions in Afghanistan as a means of turning this Central Asian country into a Vietnam-style quagmire. In forging this dangerous new transnational holy warrior movement, the CIA brought together such unlikely comrades in arms as the Islamic Brotherhood, Egypt’s Anwar Sadat, the Israeli Mossad, the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence, the Saudi royal family, and Islamic charities such as the International Islamic Relief Organization.
In overcoming the differences that had long divided them, tens of thousands of Arabs from Algeria to Arabia left their homes to fight shoulder to shoulder against the Soviet-atheist invaders of the Dar al-Islam (Realm of Islam), often with logistic support from such strange bedfellows as the Israeli Mossad and American CIA!A background assessment of this understudied conflict presents unique insights into the ways in which pre-existing conflicts between Arab-sponsored fundamentalists and secular ones!During the 1980s, the Saudi Istikhabarat (Secret Service), working in conjunction with several Saudi charities, the Pakistani ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence),
a CIA, channeled tens of millions of dollars and thousands of young Arab fighters from Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Morocco, Egypt and elsewhere to the battlefields of Afghanistan. In the Dar al-Harb (Abode of War), these international holy warriors waged jihad (holy war) against the Ex Soviet Union.While the US was sending millions of dollars to finance the anti-Soviet mujahideen, (holy warriors) the Saudis (with the active support of the Islamist leader of Pakistan, Zia al Haq) used their money to not only arm the mujahideen, but to disseminate their Wahhabi version of Islam This latter policy of supporting the spread of Taliban-style fundamentalism to neighboring regions, such as Kashmir and Uzbekistan, actually began in the early 1990s. As early as 1992, Arab Wahhabi missionaries and Arab mujahideen veterans from Afghanistan began to disseminate both Qu’rans and AK-47 machine guns throughout the region.
For influence in Central Eurasia has pitted Saudi-style Wahhabi Salafi fundamentalists against indigenous secularists:Sufi-mystics in a transcontinental battle costing tens of thousands of lives. While largely overlooked outside of this region, this bloody struggle has surged across Eurasia, from the Pamir Mountains of Tajikistan and the Kashmir Vale in the Himalayas, to the mountain villages of the
secessionist statelet of Chechnya and the war scorched plains of Kosovo.This struggle for power and the nature of Islam in the heartlands of Eurasia has been especially bloody in the plains of northern Afghanistan (the Uzbek, Tajik, and Hazara lands around Mazar-i Sharif), Kashmir, eastern Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan, as well as the small ethno-republics of the Russian Federation’s north Caucasian flank (Chechnya, Ingushetia, and Dagestan in particular).Islamic morality and identity were sustained in this period of state sponsored atheism only by the folk Islam of the Sufi-mystics but Wahhabi or Salafi missionaries from the extremist religiously states of the Arab Gulf,Arabic fundamentalist Islam and militant jihadism were to threaten the traditional ethnic, political, and religious order. Most alarmingly, the extremists among them the world’s most wanted terrorist, Osama bin Laden, and his global jihadi movement.The export of this alien Wahhabi form of Islam throughout Eurasia in the late 1980s and 90s was the natural outgrowth of a historic process of forced proselytizing that actually commenced in the late 18th century with the founding of Saudi Arabia.
This form of Islam was carried throughout the deserts of Arabia with fire and sword by an army of fanatical warriors known as the Ikhwan (Brotherhood).
In the late 19thand early 20th centuries, Saud’s fanatical militant Ikhwan holy warriors organized raiding parties for attacking the neighboring lands (such as Mandate Iraq, where they destroyed Shiite shrines, or the Hijaz, where they cleansed Mecca and Medina of their ancient religious edifices). The Ikhwan raiders forcefully spread their version of Islam so it gave birth to the global export of a new form of militancy that mixed Saudi Wahhabi militantfundamentalism of the earlier Ikhwan with a newly codified Egyptian revival of the Medieval jihad.
Since Sept. 11th, Vladimir Putin prtrayed the plot to the US-led war on terrorism,Al-Qaeda terrorists’ . In the ex Yugoslav province of Kosovo, which was protected by NATO,Arab volunteer militants, for example grafted the concept of jihad to the Albanian Kosovo Liberation Army’s struggle against the Orthodox Serbs in 1999 and to spread their Wahhabi beliefs.The fighters of the KLA were able to rely on NATO air support while in other corners of Asia US Green Berets, for example, have participated in trainand-equip missions in the Republic of Georgia’s Pankisi Gorge, Uzbekistan’s deserts, and the jungles of the southern Philippine islands of Jolo and Basilan. US Special Forces are also operating in tribal zones in eastern Afghanistan, northern Yemen, and Iraqi Kurdistan WHILE spokesmen in Moscow, Tashkent, New Delhi, or Dushanbe linked the nebulous Al-Qaeda style with the ‘ International Extremist Islamic Terrorism ’
Turkey joined a vast covert operation, one that had the tacit support of the CIA and U.S. military, to send hundreds of Afghan-Arabs to Bosnia to assist their operations against the Serbs/ the arrival of Arab-Afghans in Europe that globalized the operations of the Afghan brotherhoods and led to the eventual formation of the al-Qaeda transnational terrorist network. In Turkey itself it created a growing network of Turkish Islamists who supported oppressed front-line Muslims with links to the Ottoman Empire (there was less interest in other causes such as those of Palestinian or Kashmir). This support came in the form of zakat (Muslim tithe) funds and a small number of volunteer fighters.
But at no time the Muslim jurist approve of terrorism. Nor indeed is there is no evidence of the use of terrorism in Islamic tradition of the Holy Coran Muslims are commanded not to kill women, children, or the aged, not to torture or otherwise ill-treat prisoners, to give fair warning of the opening of hostilities, and to honor agreements. Similarly, the laws of Jihad categorically preclude wanton and indiscriminate slaughter. The warriors in the holy war are urged not to harm non-combatants, women and children, “unless they attack you first.” A point on which they insist is the need for a clear declaration of war before beginning hostilities, and for proper warning before resuming hostilities after a truce. What the classical jurists of Islam never remotely considered is the kind of unprovoked, unannounced mass slaughter of uninvolved civil populations as we have seen in the past months in Syria,before every meeting of UN and as a reason for its enemies to follow their plans!So we saw :Jsr Shoughur,Assi bridge in Hama,Karm il Zeitoun in Homs,Midan and Qazaz in Damascus,Aleppo ,Hula in Homs,Tremseh in Hama and we all pray to Allah to protect against these Turkish trained and sponsored criminal militias ,the citizens of Aleppo as the guerrillas have already showed kidnapped persons there!
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on July 27, “We must do what we can together in the United Nations Security Council, and also in the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Arab League, to make sure that we can make some important progress in trying to avert this appalling situation”,but” forgot” to mention continous sponsorship of those carying such massacres
Rajab Tayib Erdogan, this man who always talk from the must of Islamic duty a member of the extremist Muslims Brotherhood, who is described by loyal media as an anti Zionist (the war of words to lie the masses) but who built a cooperation relationship with zionists,cooperation in all fields with Israhell and NATO ,in the past several weeks, had been increasing Turkey’s actions agaist Syrian people as appearing on prominent jihadi forums and over online news websites regarding the influx of foreign jihadis to Syria, on their way to participate in the fighting against Syrians.
According to the testimony of the influx of refugees in Syria began peforming the action that caused the Jsr Shoughour massacre as a “predecessor Jihad” of the groups, particularly from the Gulf, including Saudi Arabia and Qatar which suported with capital.
The ArabGulf kingdoms opened their armories to theterrorists bruary, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal raised the FSA’s hopes when he said that arming Assad’s opponents was “an excellent idea
The officers were ambushed by armed gangs the northern city of Jisr al-Shughour
Though the Western press portrays the Free Syrian Army as an armed revolutionary group, for more than a year Thierry Meyssan has affirmed that it is on the contrary a counter-revolutionary body. According to him, it would have progressively passed from the hands of reactionary monarchies in the Gulf to those of Turkey, acting for NATO. .
Under Turkish umbrella and Western Intelligence’s command the Salafi Jihadists had military training as “military trained volunteers participating in the Salafi-jihadist groups in Iraq, Libya, Yemen and parts of jihad, such as are given by the jihadis so to know how to use more than a single weapon but many weapons and bomb-making experts in the know-how. ” “Libyans, mujahediin entered Idlib through Turkey to analyze the” situation”. Weapons in the hands of the locals were considered insufficient Mujahideen against the Syrian regime, so Libyans, had the decision of the introduction of modern weapons to Syria which Libya sent to Syria through Lebanon! But the terrorists in Syria did not get the desired weapons as it were confiscated by the Lebanese army in Lutfalah II.
Cebhetun Nusra: (Nusret Front)
Abu Muhammad al-Fatih al-Cebhetun Nusra’da allegiance led by Colani is essential. Mujahideen entered Nusra’ya, their allegiance to their commanders. Here, the instructions must be fulfilled. For example, which is directly connected to al-Qaeda leader Cebhetun Nusra’nın the mujahadeen from someone “live bombs” where Mujahedin are required to fulfill these instructions.
It began operations in December 2011 : Cebhetun Nusra, announced that the tragedies from Damascus and Aleppo, were organized acts of suicide bomber who targeted the security forces. Actions, resulted in nearly 200 civilians killed and hundreds who were injured. Cebhetun Nusra actions also Idlib, Deir Ez Zor Daraa and had a number of attacks on the Syrian military forces
Tukish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan ,after Syrian forces shot down a Turkish warplane within Syrian airspace while it tested the Syrian air defense,at the Mediterranean coast ordered his armed forces to react to any threat from Syria near the border.NATO member states, summoned by Turkey to an urgent meeting in Brussels, condemned Syria over the incident as Western alliance called the incident “unacceptable” but stopped short of threatening retaliation.Also he came ut all guns blazing on Turkish TV; “We will not allow a terrorist group to establish camps in northern Syria and threaten Turkey.” referring to the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Party (PYD) – affiliated with the PKK; after a quiet deal with the Assad regime in Damascus, the PYD is now in control of key areas in northeast Syria.
So Ankara may provide logistics to tens of thousands of Syria’s NATO “rebels” – which include plenty of hardcore Arab “insurgents” formerly known as terrorists; but as long as Syrian Kurds – which are part of the Syrian opposition – demonstrate some independence, they immediately revert to being considered “terrorists”

LIZZIE PHELAN: The moral logic of Angry Arab
LIZZIE PHELAN: The moral logic of Angry Arab: By Amal Saad-Ghorayeb And just when you thought Angry Arab’s analysis on Syria couldn’t get any sillier, he surprise..
The moral logic of Angry Arab
And just when you thought Angry Arab’s analysis on Syria couldn’t get any sillier, he surprises you with more simplistic and infantile analysis here. He argues:
–“Hezbollah has decided that his enemies (US, Saudi Arabia, and Israel) have basically took over the cause of ridding Syrians of the Assad regime from the Syrian armed and unarmed opposition.”
Really? Hizbullah “has decided”? Because the Israeli-GCC-NATO role in steering the proxy militias otherwise known as the “armed Syrian opposition” is a figment of their imagination. Right. I urge him to read, not alternative media, but mainstream media for a reality check.
–“The alliance with the regime and the extraction of political and military benefits exceeded other humanitarian considerations.”
Other “humanitarian” considerations? What is more humanitarian than protecting Syria and the region as a whole from the colonizers’ grip? What is more humanitarian than rejecting the sectarian bloodshed that the agents of destruction have sown? What is more humanitarian than defending Lebanon and Palestine from the cancer in our midst, Israel? What is more humanitarian than pursuing the liberation of Palestine?
–“If Hezbollah feels it can only choose the side that is opposed to Israel, it should know that it has alienated a large section of the Syrian people.”
So according to his cost-benefit calculus, Hizbullah should sacrifice Syria’s sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity not to mention Lebanon’s security and the future of Palestine because this alienates the not insignificant minority of misled Syrians who have been fed a steady diet of Qatari-Saudi-American misinformation, happen to believe they are better served by the their colonial masters than by the resistance axis?
–“While Hezbollah is right, from its standpoint, to be most focused on its supply line from Syria and on the military support it has received from the regime. It has to know that support from the people of Syria lasts far longer than support from a regime that sooner or later will go down.”
So the other Syrian people , who otherwise constitute the majority if we must talk numbers, don’t figure into Angry’s pseudo-moral arithmetic. And maintaining the support of a segment of one country’s population is more strategically beneficial to a resistance movement than supporting a government whose fall who would spell the end of Palestine and Hizbullah as a resistance movement. But have no fear Hizbullah, the Syrian oppositionists allied with Israel will secure the weapons’ flow for your resistance and ensure Gaza is well armed for the next Israeli invasion. How do we know this? Because Angry Arab says so. From California no less.
–“But Hezbollah has yet again displayed disregard for the suffering of the Syrian people. How could Nasrallah express sympathy for the dead henchmen of the regime – even if they rendered services to Hezbollah in its fight against Israel – and not express sympathy for the any of the civilian victims of the regime? Hezbollah, like all allies of the Syrian regime in Lebanon from the Phalanges in 1976 to Jumblatt and Hariri and many others, never really expressed concerns for the welfare of the Syrian people.”
So basically, Hizbullah’s fear of sectarian warfare , it’s fear of NATO and Israeli military intervention, and all the other plans being hatched by Empire are not an expression of sympathy for the Syrian people. Because people don’t die of imperialism, only of “authoritarianism”. And as for comparing this paragon of justice and self-sacrifice, a man who sacrificed his own son, Hadi, for the cause of Palestine, with the despicable collaborators and slaves of Israel and the US like Jumblatt and Hariri, what can one respond within the bounds of “civilized” discourse beyond shame ? Shame, shame, shame on your petty, colonized, self-serving little mind. Spare us your public mea culpa’s “I was wrong” (see his recent post here) when you clearly never learn from your mistakes. You were wrong then and you are wrong now.

The US-NATO War on Syria: Western Naval Forces Confront Russia Off the Syrian Coastline?
The US-NATO War on Syria: Western Naval Forces Confront Russia Off the Syrian Coastline?ars choose us. ‘Military planners have a responsibility to prepare for intervention options in Syria for their political masters in case this conflict chooses them. ‘Preparation will be proceeding today in several Western capitals and on the ground in Syria and in Turkey. ‘Up to the point of Assad’s collapse, we are most likely to see a continuation or intensification of the under-the-radar options of financial support, arming and advising the rebels, clandestine operations and perhaps cyber warfare from the West. ‘After any collapse, however, the military options will be seen in a different light.’ (Daily Mail, July 24, 2012, emphasis added)
Concluding Remarks
The World is at a dangerous crossroads. The shape of this planned naval deployment in the Eastern Mediterranean with US-NATO warships contiguous to those of Russia is unprecedented in recent history.
History tells us that wars are often triggered unexpectedly as a result of “political mistakes” and human error. The latter are all the more likely within the realm of a divisive and corrupt political system in the US and Western Europe.
US-NATO military planning is overseen by a centralised military hierarchy. Command and Control operations are in theory “coordinated” but in practice they are often marked by human error. Intelligence operatives often function independently and outside the realm of political accountability.
Military planners are acutely aware of the dangers of escalation. Syria has significant air defense capabilities as well as ground forces. Syria has been building up its air defense system with the delivery of Russian Pantsir S1 air-defense missiles.
Any form of US-NATO direct military intervention against Syria would destabilize the entire region, potentially leading to escalation over a vast geographical area, extending from the Eastern Mediterranean to the Afghanistan-Pakistan border with Tajikistan and China.
Military planning involves intricate scenarios and war games by both sides including military options pertaining to advanced weapons systems. A Third World War scenario has been contemplated by US-NATO-Israeli military planners since early 2000.
Escalation is an integral part of the military agenda. War preparations to attack Syria and Iran have been in “an advanced state of readiness” for several years.
We are dealing with complex political and strategic decision-making involving the interplay of powerful economic interest groups, the actions of covert intelligence operatives.
The role of war propaganda is paramount not only in moulding public opinion into accepting a war agenda, but also in establishing a consensus within the upper echelons of the decision-making process. A selective form of war propaganda intended for “Top Officials” in government agencies, intelligence, the Military, law enforcement, etc. is intended to create an unbending consensus in favor of war and the Police State.
For the war project to go ahead, it is essential that both politicians and military planners are rightfully committed to leading the war “in the name of justice and democracy”. For this to occur, they must firmly believe in their own propaganda, namely that war is an instrument of peace and democracy.
They have no concern for the devastating impacts of advanced weapons systems, routinely categorized as “collateral damage”, let alone the meaning and significance of pre-emptive warfare, using nuclear weapons.
Wars are invariably decided upon by civilian leaders and interest groups rather than by the military. War serves dominant economic interests which operate from behind the scenes, behind closed doors in corporate boardrooms, in the Washington think tanks, etc.
War propaganda, namely media lies, constitutes the most powerful instrument of warfare.
Without media disinformation, the US-NATO led war agenda would collapse like a deck of cards. The legitimacy of the war criminals in high office would be broken.
It is therefore essential to disarm not only the mainstream media but also a segment of the self proclaimed “progressive” alternative media, which has provided legitimacy to NATO’s “Responsibility to protect” (R2P) mandate, largely with a view to dismantling the antiwar movement.
The road to Tehran goes through Damascus. A US-NATO sponsored war on Iran would involve, as a first step, the destabilization of Syria as a nation state. Military planning pertaining to Syria is an integral part of the war on Iran agenda.
A war on Syria could evolve towards a US-NATO military campaign directed against Iran, in which Turkey and Israel would be directly involved.
It is crucial to spread the word and break the channels of media disinformation.
A critical and unbiased understanding of what is happening in Syria is of crucial importance in reversing the tide of military escalation towards a broader regional war.
Our objective is ultimately to dismantle the US-NATO-Israeli military arsenal and restore World Peace.

Syria: Washington’s Latest War Crime
Syria: Washington’s Latest War Crime.
One wonders what Syrians are thinking as “rebels” vowing to “free Syria” take the country down the same road to destruction as “rebels” in Libya. Libya, under Gaddafi a well run country whose oil revenues were shared with the Libyan people instead of monopolized by a princely class as in Saudi Arabia, now has no government and is in disarray with contending factions vying for power.
Just as no one knew who the Libyan “rebels” were, with elements of al Qaeda reportedly among them, no one knows who the Syrian “rebels” are, or indeed if they are even rebels (Antiwar.com). Some “rebels” appear to be bandit groups who seize the opportunity to loot and to rape and set themselves up as the governments of villages and towns. Others appear to be al Qaeda. (Antiwar.com)
The fact that the “rebels” are armed is an indication of interference from outside. There have been reports that Washington has ordered its Saudi and Bahrain puppet governments to supply the “rebels” with military weaponry. Some suspect that the explosion that killed the Syrian Defense Minister and the head of the government’s crisis operations was not the work of a suicide bomber but the work of a US drone or missile reminiscent of Washington’s failed attempts to murder Saddam Hussein. Regardless, Washington regarded the terror attack as a success, declaring that it showed the rebels were gaining “real momentum” and called on the Syrian government to respond to the attack by resigning. (reuters.com)
The following is from a leaked intelligence document describing a previous Western terrorist intervention in Syria just in case any reader is so naive as to think that “our government would never do that.”
“In order to facilitate the action of liberative (sic) forces, …a special effort should be made to eliminate certain key individuals. …[to] be accomplished early in the course of the uprising and intervention, …Once a political decision has been reached to proceed with internal disturbances in Syria, CIA is prepared, and SIS (MI6) will attempt to mount minor sabotage and coup de main (sic) incidents within Syria, working through contacts with individuals. …Incidents should not be concentrated in Damascus …
Further: a “necessary degree of fear .. frontier incidents and (staged) border clashes”, would “provide a pretext for intervention… the CIA and SIS [MI6] should use … capabilities in both psychological and action fields to augment tension.” (Joint US-UK leaked Intelligence Document, London and Washington, 1957) (globalreasearch.ca)
Obama has not said why his government is so desperate to overthrow the Syrian government. The current president was an eye doctor in London who was brought back to Syria to replace his father, who had passed away, as president of the country. Washington is reticent about its real motives, which it masks with high-sounding humanitarian rhetoric, but Washington’s motives are transparent.
One motive is to get rid of the Russian naval base in Syria, thus depriving Russia of its only Mediterranean base.
A second motive is to eliminate Syria as a source of arms and support to Hizbullah in order that Israel can succeed in its attempts to occupy southern Lebanon and acquire its water resources. Hizbullah’s fighters have twice defeated the Israeli military’s attempts to invade and to occupy southern Lebanon.
A third motive is to destroy the unity of Syria with sectarian conflict, as Washington destroyed Libya and Iraq, and leave Syria to waring factions to dismember the country, thus removing another obstacle to Washington’s hegemony.
Syria, a secular Arab state, like Iraq was, is ruled by a political party composed of Alawis, more or less Shia Muslims. The Alawis comprise about 12% of the Syrian population and are regarded as heretics by the Sunni Muslims who comprise about 74% of the Syrian population. Thus the orchestrated “uprising” appeals to many Sunnis who see the opportunity to take over. (In Iraq it was a Sunni minority that ruled a Shia majority, and in Syria it is the opposite.)
The divisions among Arabs make Arabs vulnerable to Western interference and rule. The Sunni-Shia split makes it impossible for an Arab country to unite against an invader or for one Arab country to come to the aid of another. In 1990 the Shia Syrian government lined up with the US against the Sunni Iraq government in the First Iraq War. Neither Lawrence of Arabia, Nasser, nor Gaddafi succeeded in creating an Arab consciousness.
Washington’s cover for its violent overthrow of other governments is always moralistic verbiage. First the target is demonized, and then Washington’s naked aggression is described as “bringing freedom and democracy,” “overthrowing a brutal dictator,” “protecting women’s rights.” Any assortment of cant words and phrases seems to work.
Hillary Clinton has been especially strident in advocating the overthrow of the Syrian government. The silly woman even issued threats to Russia and China for daring to block Washington’s attempt to use a UN resolution as cover for invading Syria. Washington misrepresents the Syrian government’s resistance to being overthrown as a government conducting terror against its own people. But Washington had no condemnation for the terror attack, whether its own or that of a suicide bomber, that killed high-level Syrian government officials. Washington’s double standard prompted the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, to accuse Washington of having “a sinister position.”
Indeed, Washington does. But what is surprising about Washington’s sinister position after Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, and Pakistan? Undoubtedly, after Syria is overthrown, Washington will move on to Iran. Russia itself is already being surrounded by US missile bases, and the Russian government has a disloyal and traitorous political opposition financed by American money. China is confronting a rapid buildup of US air, naval, and troop bases in the Pacific. How long before China’s government has a disloyal opposition financed by Washington?
The hegemon is on the march, but what Syrian Sunnis see is a chance to overthrow the Alawite Shia. The Syrian Sunnis will ally with Washington despite the fact that Washington overthrew the Iraqi Sunnis. Few Arabs, it seems, mind being puppets of a foreign regime that hands out billions of dollars.
Washington loosely refers to Syrian President Assad as a “dictator” or “brutal dictator,” but obviously if Assad is a dictator he is not very effective in that role. Normally, dictators don’t permit an opposition to rise, much less arm itself. It would be more accurate to say that the ruling party is authoritarian, but the ruling party has introduced elements of democracy with the new constitution.
As Iraq has proved, Arab governments have to be authoritarian if their Sunni and Shia populations are not to be constantly engaged in civil war. Both Bush and Obama claim that Washington brought “freedom and democracy” to Iraq. However, the ongoing violence in Iraq is as intense or more intense than under the American occupation. Here are the reports for the last three days:
July 23: “A wave of bomb attacks and shootings in Baghdad and north of the capital has killed at least 107 people. At least 216 were wounded.”
July 24: “A second day of intensified attacks left at least 145 Iraqis killed and 379 more wounded.”
July 25: “Attacks continue across Iraq: 17 killed, 60 wounded.”
This is what Washington did for Iraq. Far from bringing “freedom and democracy,” Washington brought endless mayhem and death. And this is precisely what Washington is in the process of bringing to Syria.
Syria: Washington’s Latest War Crime
Syria: Washington’s Latest War Crime
One wonders what Syrians are thinking as “rebels” vowing to “free Syria” take the country down the same road to destruction as “rebels” in Libya. Libya, under Gaddafi a well run country whose oil revenues were shared with the Libyan people instead of monopolized by a princely class as in Saudi Arabia, now has no government and is in disarray with contending factions vying for power.
Just as no one knew who the Libyan “rebels” were, with elements of al Qaeda reportedly among them, no one knows who the Syrian “rebels” are, or indeed if they are even rebels (Antiwar.com). Some “rebels” appear to be bandit groups who seize the opportunity to loot and to rape and set themselves up as the governments of villages and towns. Others appear to be al Qaeda. (Antiwar.com)
The fact that the “rebels” are armed is an indication of interference from outside. There have been reports that Washington has ordered its Saudi and Bahrain puppet governments to supply the “rebels” with military weaponry. Some suspect that the explosion that killed the Syrian Defense Minister and the head of the government’s crisis operations was not the work of a suicide bomber but the work of a US drone or missile reminiscent of Washington’s failed attempts to murder Saddam Hussein. Regardless, Washington regarded the terror attack as a success, declaring that it showed the rebels were gaining “real momentum” and called on the Syrian government to respond to the attack by resigning. (reuters.com)
The following is from a leaked intelligence document describing a previous Western terrorist intervention in Syria just in case any reader is so naive as to think that “our government would never do that.”
“In order to facilitate the action of liberative (sic) forces, …a special effort should be made to eliminate certain key individuals. …[to] be accomplished early in the course of the uprising and intervention, …Once a political decision has been reached to proceed with internal disturbances in Syria, CIA is prepared, and SIS (MI6) will attempt to mount minor sabotage and coup de main (sic) incidents within Syria, working through contacts with individuals. …Incidents should not be concentrated in Damascus …
Further: a “necessary degree of fear .. frontier incidents and (staged) border clashes”, would “provide a pretext for intervention… the CIA and SIS [MI6] should use … capabilities in both psychological and action fields to augment tension.” (Joint US-UK leaked Intelligence Document, London and Washington, 1957) (globalreasearch.ca)
Obama has not said why his government is so desperate to overthrow the Syrian government. The current president was an eye doctor in London who was brought back to Syria to replace his father, who had passed away, as president of the country. Washington is reticent about its real motives, which it masks with high-sounding humanitarian rhetoric, but Washington’s motives are transparent.
One motive is to get rid of the Russian naval base in Syria, thus depriving Russia of its only Mediterranean base.
A second motive is to eliminate Syria as a source of arms and support to Hizbullah in order that Israel can succeed in its attempts to occupy southern Lebanon and acquire its water resources. Hizbullah’s fighters have twice defeated the Israeli military’s attempts to invade and to occupy southern Lebanon.
A third motive is to destroy the unity of Syria with sectarian conflict, as Washington destroyed Libya and Iraq, and leave Syria to waring factions to dismember the country, thus removing another obstacle to Washington’s hegemony.
Syria, a secular Arab state, like Iraq was, is ruled by a political party composed of Alawis, more or less Shia Muslims. The Alawis comprise about 12% of the Syrian population and are regarded as heretics by the Sunni Muslims who comprise about 74% of the Syrian population. Thus the orchestrated “uprising” appeals to many Sunnis who see the opportunity to take over. (In Iraq it was a Sunni minority that ruled a Shia majority, and in Syria it is the opposite.)
The divisions among Arabs make Arabs vulnerable to Western interference and rule. The Sunni-Shia split makes it impossible for an Arab country to unite against an invader or for one Arab country to come to the aid of another. In 1990 the Shia Syrian government lined up with the US against the Sunni Iraq government in the First Iraq War. Neither Lawrence of Arabia, Nasser, nor Gaddafi succeeded in creating an Arab consciousness.
Washington’s cover for its violent overthrow of other governments is always moralistic verbiage. First the target is demonized, and then Washington’s naked aggression is described as “bringing freedom and democracy,” “overthrowing a brutal dictator,” “protecting women’s rights.” Any assortment of cant words and phrases seems to work.
Hillary Clinton has been especially strident in advocating the overthrow of the Syrian government. The silly woman even issued threats to Russia and China for daring to block Washington’s attempt to use a UN resolution as cover for invading Syria. Washington misrepresents the Syrian government’s resistance to being overthrown as a government conducting terror against its own people. But Washington had no condemnation for the terror attack, whether its own or that of a suicide bomber, that killed high-level Syrian government officials. Washington’s double standard prompted the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, to accuse Washington of having “a sinister position.”
Indeed, Washington does. But what is surprising about Washington’s sinister position after Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, and Pakistan? Undoubtedly, after Syria is overthrown, Washington will move on to Iran. Russia itself is already being surrounded by US missile bases, and the Russian government has a disloyal and traitorous political opposition financed by American money. China is confronting a rapid buildup of US air, naval, and troop bases in the Pacific. How long before China’s government has a disloyal opposition financed by Washington?
The hegemon is on the march, but what Syrian Sunnis see is a chance to overthrow the Alawite Shia. The Syrian Sunnis will ally with Washington despite the fact that Washington overthrew the Iraqi Sunnis. Few Arabs, it seems, mind being puppets of a foreign regime that hands out billions of dollars.

Above image has been spreading over the Internet today.
It is allegedly an image from the behind the scenes of the upcoming Qatari production “The Resounding Fall”. Understand, the fake videos and images Qatar has been recording to be then displayed on corrupt mainstream media, relaying the fake fall of the legitimate Syrian Governement.
As we previously advised, reports have been warning the public of a huge Qatari production, Hollywood style (zionist hollywood producer are likely to be involved in this) that costed the illegitimate “emir” $22 bn, to spread the fake news of the Assad fall.
As usual, we thank you in advance for sharing this information and spreading it wide. Let’s make this news trend (it already started) hence foiling this misinformation attempt.

“خسارة” هي الكلمة الأبلغ والأوجز للتعليق على نبأ استشهاد جنرالات “خلية الأزمة” في سورية. رفاق سلاح المقاومة نعاهم سيدها وأمينها العام، مؤكداً انهم كانوا أيضاً رفاق درب في طريق الصراع مع العدو الإسرائيلي خلال عشرات السنين، مذكراً من أخذت به الأحداث بعيداً أن سورية كانت البلد العربي الوحيد الحاضن للمقاومة والداعم لها.
بين الجنرالات الشهداء اسم لطالما تداولته الصحف، في السنوات الأخيرة الماضية، على انه من بين أعمدة النظام السوري. آصف شوكت… صهر الرئيس بشار الأسد، البعيد عن الإعلام. يصفه المقربون منه بأنه رجل دولة وموقف، قليل الكلام كثير الاصغاء.
للعماد آصف شوكت باع طويل في تنسيق العلاقات السرية للنظام، وشغل مناصب عدة أهمها شعبة الاستخبارات العسكرية التي تعنى بشكل مباشر في قضايا القوات المسلحة وكان الداعم لتوجيهات الرئيس الأسد في دعم المقاومة وكأنه أحد قادتها. وهو من أشرف على نقل بعض الأسلحة النوعية والمعدات الثقيلة في حرب تموز 2006، ليكون بذلك أحد أبطال معاركها.
مقربين من الشهيد القيادي عماد مغنية يؤكدون أن علاقة وثيقة كانت تربط ما بين القيادي الشهيد وبين العماد آصف شوكت وتعلق على نبأ استشهاده بانه “خسارة كبيرة”. علاقته بالشهيد القيادي عماد مغنية تحدثت عنه صحيفة الأخبار اللبنانية مشيرة إلى أن الجنرال السوري “متواضع ينحني عند مصافحة السيد حسن نصر الله، ويسرّه في آخر الليل سماع أخبار فلسطين”.
وتذكر الصحيفة أن الرجل ظل حتى “اللحظة الأخيرة معنياً، في صورة عملية، بتوفير مستلزمات ومتطلبات قوى المقاومة في لبنان وفلسطين. في ظل رعايته، تعيش قوى المقاومة وكوادرها في سورية. يلتفت إلى كل شأن يخصّهم، من أماكن العيش ووسائل التنقّل وأحوالهم المباشرة، إلى معسكرات التدريب وأعمال التجهيز، إلى توفير متطلبات وصول كوادر من داخل فلسطين وخضوعها لتدريبات بالغة الدقة والسرية”.

“Shawkat Deactivated First Bomb before the Second Exploded”
Assef Shawkat Deactivated the First Bomb before the Second Exploded, Finger Pointed at Mossad and Intelligence Apparatus
Israa al-Fass
“What A Loss” is the most concise and suitable expression to say in the aftermath of the martyrdom of the “crisis cell” Generals in Syria. The supporters of the Resistance’s weapon were mourned by its Secretary General, asserting that they also were sharing struggles with the Resistance against the Zionist enemy over the past decades. He also reminded some of the absentminded that Syria was the only Arab state that enfolded the resistance movement and supported it.
Among the martyred Generals, there was a very common name that was referred to in the journals during the few past years as one of the mainstays of the Syrian Regime. Assef Shawkat, President Bashar Assad’s brother-in-law, was in that period outside the spot of light. Close companions describe him as the man of the state and of attitudes, and the less he speaks the more he listens.
General Shawkat had spent a long time coordinating the secret relationships of the regime. He occupied several posts such as the Head of the Department of Military Intelligence which directly deals with the issues of armed troops. He supported President Assad’s instructions in supporting the resistance as if he was one of its leaders. He supervised transferring specific weapons and heavy equipments in July war 2006, and became one of its heroes.
Some close companions of the martyred Leader Imad Moughniyeh assert that there was a special relationship between Hajj Moughniyeh and General Shawkat. They comment on its martyrdom as it is a “big loss”. The Lebanese Al-Akhbar daily talked about the relationship between Shawkat and the martyr Leader Imad Moughniyeh noting that “the Syrian General is modest and he bows when shaking hands with Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, he was also interested in listening to the Palestinian news late in the night.”
The daily also mentioned that the man “was practically concerned until the last moment of his life with providing the resistance in Lebanon and Palestine with the equipments they need. Under his guardianship, resistance troops and its staff survive in Syria. He cares for every detail that concerns them, such as places of living, means of transportation, their main affairs, training camps and preparation, as well as providing the path for the Palestinian resistance key-staff to arrive from Palestine and apply top secret and critical trainings.”
How did the Assassination take place?
The head of the Political Department in the International Organization for Arab Expatriates Mohammad Dhirar Jammo asserted that the bursting wasn’t remote controlled. As he made reservations to mention all what he had known, he unveils that General Assef Shawkat was able to discover and deactivate one of the two bombs found at the office before the second had exploded.
As he conversed with the Al-Manar website, Jammo negated what media outlets had mentioned about the so-called “Free Syrian Army” adoption of the operation. He explained that the crime exceeds the abilities of the unorganized groups of bandits. Such operation requires logistic information and satellite pictures showing the movement of the security leaders. He noted that the accusations are directed against the Israeli Mossad and other Western Intelligence offices.
As for the information published in the French daily “Le Figaro” about special Qatari forces to execute security operations on the Syrian land, the Syrian politician didn’t deny that. Not to mention that the Qataris might not have the enough intelligence cunning, but they might be involved in funding and executing the operations directed and planned by the Mossad and CIA according to Jammo.
The Syrian Ambush: A Pilot Disserts and the Turkish Combat Plane was Shot Down
And about linking the Syrian rockets launched from Syria and targeting the Zionist War Minister Ehud Barack’s convoy to the response to bursting the National Security office, Jammo denies that the response will ignite a regional war, noting that it would rather take place inside the frame of the International system. However, the rockets launched to the Golan don’t represent but political messages from the Syrian regime’s side.
Jammo, talking about the political messages, stated to the Al-Manar website that the Turkish combat plane was shot down last month after Damascus had prepared an ambush in a critical intelligence operation executed by the Syrian aerial intelligence. Furthermore, he added that Syria was aware of the Mossad agents cells in Damascus, Lattakia, and Aleppo, among which there were Turkish and Jordan members, and they were under surveillance. For this reason, they sacrificed the pilot that fled to Jordan carrying the data which the Syrians were aware of.
He also added that the Turks received the data few moments after the Syrian pilot landed in the military base northern Jordan. According to the content of the data, they set a bank of Syrian goals assuming that the Syrian radar won’t discover their combat plane since it carries the same code as the Syrian ones. At this point, the Syrians lured them in order to soot the plane down on the Syrian land aiming at delivering a political message for those who are concerned.
Fabricated Videos will be displayed in the 10 coming days
In another context, Jammo talked about the psychological war launched against Syria asserting that the western and Arab satellite channels that are organizing terrorism and destruction campaigns will display during the following ten days previously-recorded and prepared videos showing military operations conducted by the “Free Army” as well as his gangs controlling the area surrounding the Presidential Palace.
Mohammad Dhirar Jammo restated what was said by Henry Kissinger about the American failure in transferring sectarianism to the Syrian army and dominating President Bashar Assad. He explained that the Americans admit they are defeated, but they won’t accept that since they have invariable standards before any sort of settlement, which the US is disable to do currently especially that it has nothing to grant in a period of time it is getting prepared to the grand affairs such as the presidential elections and the economic crisis.
Jammo terminated his conversation saying that war is not likely to take place, yet it is still possible. He proved his suggestion noting that the world today witnesses an international equilibrium clearly seen in the Security Council where, for the first time in its history, the veto was used successively thrice.

Mohammad Dhirar Jammo restated what was said by Henry Kissinger about the American failure in transferring sectarianism to the Syrian army and dominating President Bashar Assad. He explained that the Americans admit they are defeated, but they won’t accept that since they have invariable standards before any sort of settlement, which the US is disable to do currently especially that it has nothing to grant in a period of time it is getting prepared to the grand affairs such as the presidential elections and the economic crisis.
Jammo terminated his conversation saying that war is not likely to take place, yet it is still possible. He proved his suggestion noting that the world today witnesses an international equilibrium clearly seen in the Security Council where, for the first time in its history, the veto was used successively thrice.

West Spreads Syrian WMD Lies For Foreign Intervention
West Spreads Syrian WMD Lies For Foreign Intervention
As NATO’s proxy terrorists collapse in both Damascus and now the northern city of Aleppo, Israel and Turkey prepare impending attack.
Hysterical propaganda has increasingly amplified since early Monday when the Syrian government’s Foreign Minister Jihad Makdissi insisted that if Syria had any unconventional weapons, they would be under strict security and only used against foreign aggression. Makdissi went on to clarify further his statement by insisting that his comments in no way implied Syria even has such weapons.
Despite this, the Western media has begun the all too familiar WMD-mantra, heard in the lead up to Iraq, where bold-faced lies and fabrications based on knowingly dubious intelligence sources, were picked specifically to tell the narrative the West sought to sell the public,.
The culmination of propaganda campaign verses the government and people of Iraq, of whom over 2 million died between sanctions leading up to the war and the West’s invasion and occupation, was the West’s primary intelligence source, Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi, codenamed “Curveball,” admitting that ” I had the chance to fabricate something to topple the regime.” In other words, as the Guardian puts it in the title of their article, “Defector admits to WMD lies that triggered Iraq war.”
Now in Syria, we have another “defector,” the discredited, defected Syrian ambassador to Iraq, Nawaf Fares, clearly fabricating fantastical tales to both undermine the Syrian government, and give the West the impetus it needs for wider military intervention – especially since NATO’s proxy “Free Syrian Army” has suffered catastrophic defeats in both Damascus, and now Aleppo. Fares claimed that he knew Syria’s weapons were being mobilized, and that the government planned on using them.
Building on this, Reuters has reported, “Syria rebels: Assad regime moved chemical weapons near border,” citing habitually deceitful FSA leaders and little else. Israel and Turkey have been gearing up for strikes against Syria to save a faltering FSA offensive that had begun in Damascus, but already has been put down, and is now faltering in Aleppo. The Israelis in particular have stated they will strike to prevent WMDs from “falling into the hands of Hezbollah,” the rhetorical cover they are using to swoop in and save their failing campaign to overthrow Syria’s government.
It is believed that NATO and the Gulf State’s FSA terrorist proxies have reached the very limit of their ability to destabilize Syria and the West recognizes the necessity of limited strikes to cripple a Syrian government that remains intact, coherent, and far from “crumbling” as the Western media has tried, but failed to portray. Veteran Indian diplomat, M K Bhadrakumar, wrote as much in his most recent analysis titled, “The rise and fall of Turkey’s Erdogan.”
The hysterical rhetoric coming from the West is directly proportional to the failing fortunes of their terrorist proxies on the ground across Syria. After a year and a half of trying to undermine the Syrian government and its people, only but a collection of towns sheltered by the Turkish military along the border lie in FSA hands, with their attacks repeatedly fended off across the country and the tide of public opinion worldwide turning against them. The West is still paying the price for its lies leading up to the condemned invasion and occupation of Iraq, but seems prepared to reach further yet into the depths of its own depravity.
Spread the word – and remind the public of the outcome when last the West told tales of WMDs, real or imagined, to justify a war of aggression.
US Prepares For Direct Intervention in Syria
US Prepares For Direct Intervention in Syria.
As it becomes increasingly clear that last week’s “surge” by NATO-backed so-called “Free Syrian Army” terrorists was a failed psychological operation, coordinated with meticulously timed assassinations the day of the UN Security Council vote designed to stampede the Syrian government out of power, the FSA’s foreign sponsors are preparing the public for a more direct intervention while desperately attempting to maintain the illusion of chaos and the imminent collapse of Syria’s government.
Video: Thierry Meyssan in Damascus, Syria. Please choose from “choose language” to see English subtitles.
Contradicting NATO’s narrative, was Thierry Meyssan in Damascus, Syria who reported that Syria’s continuity of government seamlessly moved forward after the assassinations last week, and that state institutions are still standing and very much functional. He describes Syria’s latest unrest as the result of a coordinated NATO-backed terrorist operation aimed at creating confusion and panic, coupled with Western propaganda – and warns that more operations are likely on the way.
The Telegraph’s, “Bashar al-Assad’s Syria is now in a death spiral,” and the Guardian’s “Syria endgame: who and what will emerge from the ruins?” both desperately attempt to write off the Syrian government as already finished, an unsubstantiated reoccurring narrative being repeated daily by the West. Both articles however, categorically fail in qualifying their premises with subsequent facts – instead they depend on rehashing the initial violence that accompanied last week’s assassinations – violence that has already been adequately dealt with by Syrian security forces.
In New York Times’ article, “US to Focus on Forcibly Toppling Syrian Government,” is all but an admission that indeed NATO’s FSA terrorists have failed, and that what is in reality imminent, is the restoration of order by the Syrian army after over a year of foreign subversion and armed infiltration. Essential to the West’s plan, is now fabricating a justification the US, Israel, and the Gulf despots currently do not have – to more directly intervene before the limitations of NATO’s proxy forces are irrevocably exposed.
To achieve this, the Western media has decided to continue depicting Syria as “collapsing” even as security has been fully restored in Damascus, border crossings retaken after NATO-harbored terrorists struck from across Syria’s borders, overrunning small platoon-sized garrisons, and now it is confirmed that bolstered Syrian border defenses near Daraa on the Jordanian-Syrian border, entirely balked FSA terrorists.
Despite this, the Western media is still reporting “battles” in Damascus, that have “spread” to Aleppo. Aleppo being another relatively unscathed city, is being purposefully attacked in order to enhance NATO’s campaign to terrorize, panic, and divide the Syrian people. Already, however, Syrian troops have begun security operations to surround and neutralize terrorist elements, just as they have done already in Damascus.
But before the violence ebbs, at least, before the Western media finds it no longer tenable to report battles that have subsided days ago, the West has stampeded through several declarations. New York Times’ article, in addition to admitting more direct military intervention is being prepared, admits that the US and France are putting their proxy “Syrian National Council” in place to lead a “transitional government.”
The West’s problem is that not a square-inch of Syrian territory is held by NATO’s terrorist proxies – unlike in Libya where NATO proxies were operating out of Benghazi – raising the specter that some larger military intervention emanating from Syria’s borders will take place. The most likely location of such an operation would be via Turkey to establish a seat of power for the Western client regime.
To justify more overt Western intervention, an incredible amount of time and energy has been invested in preparing the general public for the prospect of a “chemical attack.”Syria has never deployed its chemical weapons, nor does it stand to gain from any such deployment, tactically, politically, or geopolitically. The only beneficiaries of such an attack would be NATO, Israel, and the Gulf despots, who could then use it to justify the “forcible toppling” of the Syrian government they now openly seek. If chemical weapons are deployed in Syria, it will most certainly be the work of NATO and its FSA proxies, using Libya’s admittedly pilfered and proliferated arsenal.
The announcement that indeed the US and France are maneuvering their client regime into place, while they plan on openly intervening on behalf of the so-called “Free Syrian Army,” is the final nail in the “opposition’s” legitimacy, exposing them as place holders of Western geopolitical aspirations in Syria, and in the Arab World. Earlier it was reported that the Syrian opposition was literally being coached and tutored by the US State Department, via the US government-funded US Institute of Peace (USIP) who is literally writing Syria’s “new” constitution, as well as engineering the entire “transitional” process on their behalf.
Syria and its allies, should they remain resolved and react only to the actual conditions on the ground can continue to balk Western ambitions by standing united, as they have throughout their history. For now, it appears the West will be happy to divide Syria along sectarian lines, forcing the government’s supporters to flee to ethnic enclaves. This means that NATO death squads will be focusing primarily on attacking minorities – a campaign that seems to have already begun.
Above all, skepticism and vigilance is needed to objectively analyze further developments, with further NATO machinations all but assured to follow.

Syria News 24 July 2012. Heavy Losses Among Terrorists, Warns Hijack Syr…
Add your thoughts here… (oDuring Libya’s ground assault on Tripoli the capital, which is a coastal city, a complete blackout was enforced on all Libyan TV channels and websites, of course to cover the truth, many journalists were held hostages at the Rixos hotel, NATO media claimed they were kept there by pro-Gaddafi forces, but we know that is not the case because selective NATO media were allowed out and reporters from Russia Today were held hostages..
At that time large numbers of NATO & stooges, namely Qatar special forces set foot on Tripoli’s land and went on a complete destruction and terror spree, we all remember how when they claimed they arrested Saif ul Islam Gaddafi and even Amnesty International and International Criminal Court has confirmed all NATO media reports his arrest the man appeared in Bab Aziziyah at night in his own Land Cruiser with his men..
A similar tactic is being put for Syria, they started taking out Syrian TV channels, Addounia for instance is banned already by an EU resolution while all Syria TV channels were asked by the Arab League to be banned from Arab League Media body controlling Nilesat and Arabsat satellites, they attempted a couple of days ago to take Addounia out as I reported earlier here and Addounia moved to an Iranian satellite on the same orbit of Arabsat with a slight frequency difference. To be more aggressive and evil, twin channels were set up to each Syrian channel bearing same logos to broadcast staged, Hollywood styled fake news of the fall of Damascus, also as I showed in a previous post here yesterday a sample video of that.
Syria’s Ministry of Information spotted a fake channel which started to broadcast from Al Jazeera office in Amman, Jordan bearing the Syrian state tv logo airing as of now patriotic songs to lure Syrian viewers and warned about it:
http://208.43.232.81/eng/21/2012/07/22/432738.htmAs for the websites, no thanks to Anonymous which proved to be one of the many NATO covert arms in NATO’s propaganda and assault, they’ve taken on their shoulders the mission of targeting all Syrian state and pro state websites, the previous post here was to give you an alternative to SANA (Syrian News Agency) but still we’re not sure if it’ll hold up.
They tried to influx a huge number of terrorists into Damascus but didn’t expect Damascus citizens to help their army cleanse the city from them, however, due to the proximity of Damascus to both Jordanian and Lebanese borders with the existing of hostile groups spotted by many media outlets in both these countries, we expect another influx of such terrorists to hit the city at what they keep calling the Zero Hour. By the way, many of their Zero Hours have failed already and last one was the day they assassinated the top officials in Damascus on 18.July.2012, which western diplomats prior to the incident said literally at the UNSC deliberates: “an ‘event’ will occur today in Damascus that would change the entire course of the crisis” then the terrorist bombing occurred, which set the Russians more furious and stopped the negotiations.
Don’t believe what you see on the same channels that have lied before so many times at you, we’re depending on God, our people and our army to defend our country at this very critical moments. Pray with us.
If Syria wins, and she will win, the imperialists would be pushed back at least a decade and all the fake radical Islamists puppet regimes installed in other countries: Afghanistan, Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Yemen.. would reverse order and get their free will regained. Our New World Order based on diversity and richness of world’s cultures would flourish, their evil New World Order based on corporatism, slavery and greed would at least be delayed one generation until they grasp their breaths unless their hollow empires collapse from within.

Syria: The cemetery of western credibility
The West is backing Jabhat Al Nosrah, the al-Qaida branch in Syria. After Libya, only an idiot would believe a word iterated by the west and particularly, the FUKUS Axis (France, UK, US), which backed a terrorist group on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s own list of proscribed factions. As the west and its terrorists grow desperate, read on and see what they are planning. First stop: False Flag event at the Olympics?
The repulsive filth we saw in Libya, slicing the breasts off women, murdering, torching buildings, torturing, raping, looting, committing ethnic cleansing is the political epitaph of Obama, Clinton, Cameron, Hague, Sarkozy and Juppé, the FUKUS Axis. The lawsuit has been launched (*), not yet taken up, but that matters not. The lack of action only underlines the lack of credibility as international law is insulted and not applied. The “West”, ladies and gentlemen, is one evil clique of demonic savages, believe me.
This murderous filth is back, in Syria, joining up with the traitors and dregs of Syrian society wanting to make a fast buck by supporting these western hypocrites, implementing a west-friendly government as yet another Arab nation is humiliated and destroyed, as it is used either for its resources or for its strategic importance. In the case of Syria, it is not a question of freedom and democracy – it is a question of depriving Russia of its Mediterranean base and it is a stepping-stone towards the forthcoming attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran. Central Asia follows. Then Siberia. After Amazonia.
The villain in the story is not President Assad or his Government, backed by the majority of the Syrian people – he and they are desperately trying to defend themselves from terrorists, armed by the FUKUS-GCC Axis (France, UK, US and the Gulf Cooperation Council, cowardly Arab traitor states insulting Islam with their murderous collaboration and treachery).
The villain is the FUKUS-GCC Axis, a temple of evil, cynicism and an insult to the international community, a cabal of murderers, terrorist-lovers and terrorists with zero respect for international law and zero credibility. Chapter one was Iraq, Chapter two was Libya, Chapter three is Syria.
However, the nearer to the main target (Iran) the FUKUS-GCC gets, the more obvious it becomes that their demonic plan is doomed to failure and the nearer their leaders are to a prison cell. A day will come when they dare not step off an aeroplane overseas, the day will come when there is a knock on their doors at seven o’clock in the morning and they are carted off to a courtroom. The citizens of the world are seven billion; they are a handful of murderers.
Much is made in the western media about a few border checkpoints being controlled by terrorists. How many border checkpoints does Syria have with its neighbours Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, Turkey and Iraq? And, the question is posed, what are neighbours Jordan and Turkey doing harbouring terrorists and sending terrorist forces into a sovereign state?
Turkey already ran snivelling to its paymaster, the USA, after it got its nose bloodied when its aircraft illegally invaded Syrian airspace; one wonders what Jordan would do if Syria taught it a lesson in international relations by giving it what it deserves. One postulates it would go snivelling to Britain.
As I write this piece, intelligence reports point towards 60,000 terrorists massing on the southern frontier in Jordan, a country which allegedly sent 10,000 terrorists to Damascus. The filth we saw in Libya was also involved – these “freedom fighters” are by no means all Syrians, which means they are not freedom fighters at all. The heroic Syrian Armed Forces are fighting back – 4,000 of this terrorist scourge were exterminated in one day as they tried to seize civilian areas of the capital. Today this excrement is being cleansed from Syria’s cities as the Syrian Armed Forces go on a full-scale offensive against the enemies of the State.
Another column of terrorists travelling northwards from Jordan on ratmobiles (trucks with AA guns rigged up on the back) was liquidated. So what is Jordan doing? Answer: Supporting terrorists.
What next? FUKUS-GCC-terrorist plans for phase 2
Phase One has been won by Syria. The Syrian Armed Forces are strong, they are resolute, and a tiny fraction of them have defected to the enemies of Syria. The population is massively behind the President. The western-backed terrorists are Jabhat Al Nosrah, the al-Qaida branch in Syria.
Now they are losing, what will they do next?
Terrorist Plan One: One plan which was tried in Libya is to block Syrian communication channels and broadcast false news from a studio controlled by the FUKUS-GCC Axis. The Syrian TV anchor Mohammed Saied has been kidnapped. Will he be tortured or threatened into broadcasting false news? Will Syrian channels be removed from Nilesat and Arabsat? Will a fake square be shown on al-Arabiyah and al-Jazeera as was the case in Libya, masking the fact that foreign special forces stormed the capital (against international law)?
Terrorist Plan Two: Civilians captured by terrorists are about to be used in a false flag event in Syria. Al-Jazeera is apparently stating that a new massacre is about to happen. What news station says a massacre is about to happen? Unless it knows something others don’t. Al-Jazeera = al-Qaida?? = Washington = same thing?
Terrorist Plan Three: False news about terrorist victories in Syria’s main cities, when the reality is that the Syrian Armed Forces have the situation under control. The western-backed terrorist filth is being liquidated and the areas this vermin is infesting are being sterilised.
Terrorist Plan Four: A false broadcast by President Assad, his voice imitated, saying he has left Syria. False images of massive numbers of defections, false resignations from the Syrian Government. Blocking Syria TV, Addounia and Al Akhbariah Souriah, calling for international intervention because the Government has collapsed. The same thing was done in Libya, in the Green Square sham, exposed in this column and exposed here in this communication (**)
Terrorist Plan Five: Using Chemical weapons to create a false flag event at the London Olympics. Those who are speaking about this plan state that it is not only the terrorists, but their masters, who plan this event. The idea is to use the chemical weapons and then say the Syrian Government has lost control, thereby justifying an invasion. After Iraq, after Libya, would anyone be surprised at anything Washington, London or Paris did?
“We like walking along the edge of Abyss, but if we ever fall it would be over the dead body of our enemy.” – Hafez Al Assad

German intelligence: al-Qaeda all over Syria

German intelligence: al-Qaeda all over SyriaBy John Rosenthal
German intelligence estimates that “around 90” terror attacks that “can be attributed to organizations that are close to al-Qaeda or jihadist groups” were carried out in Syria between the end of December and the beginning of July, as reported by the German daily Die Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ). This was revealed
by the German government in a response to a parliamentary question.
In response to the same question, the German government admitted that it had received several reports from the German foreign intelligence service, the BND, on the May 25 massacre in the Syrian town of Houla. But it noted that the content of these reports was to remain classified “by reason of national interest”, Like many other Western governments, Germany expelled Syria’s ambassador in the immediate aftermath of the massacre, holding the Syrian government responsible for the violence.
Meanwhile, at least three major German newspapers – Die Welt, the FAZ, and the mass-market tabloid Bild – have published reports attributing responsibility for the massacre to anti-government rebel forces or treating this as the most probable scenario.
Writing in Bild, longtime German war correspondent Jurgen Todenhofer accused the rebels of “deliberately killing civilians and then presenting them as victims of the government”. He described this “massacre-marketing strategy” as being “among the most disgusting things that I have ever experienced in an armed conflict”. Todenhofer had recently been to Damascus, where he interviewed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for Germany’s ARD public television.
Wring in Die Welt, Alfred Hackensberger noted that Taldo, the sub-district of Houla where the massacre occurred, has been under rebel control since December 2011 and is in an open plain, making it unlikely that “hundreds of soldiers and Assad supporters” could have entered the village to commit the massacre. (An abridged version of Hackenberger’s report also appeared in Die Berliner Morgenpost.) Hackensberger visited Houla to conduct investigations for his report.
He also interviewed an alleged eyewitness – identified simply by the pseudonym “Jibril” – at the Saint James Monastery in Qara, Syria. In contrast to an earlier report in the FAZ, which had claimed that the victims were largely Shi’ites and Alawis, Jibril told Hackensberger that all of the victims were Sunnis “like everybody here”. By his account, they were killed for refusing to support the rebellion. Jibril added that “a lot of people in Houla know what really happened” but would not say so out of fear for their lives. “Whoever says something,” he explained, “can only repeat the rebels’ version. Anything else is certain death.”
While traveling in the region of Homs, Hackensberger heard similar stories about the conduct of the rebels. One – now former – resident of the city of Qusayr told him that not only were Christians like himself expelled from the town, but that anyone who refused to enroll their children in the Free Syrian Army had been shot. Hackensberger’s source held foreign Islamists responsible for the atrocities. “I have seen them with my own eyes,” he said, “Pakistanis, Libyans, Tunisians and also Lebanese. They call Osama bin Laden their sheikh.”
A Sunni resident of Homs told Hackensberger that he had witnessed how an armed group stopped a bus: “The passengers were divided into two groups: on the one side, Sunnis; on the other, Alawis.” According to Hackenberger’s source, the insurgents then proceeded to decapitate the nine Alawi passengers.
That the German government would cite national interest in refusing to disclose its information concerning the circumstances of the Houla massacre is particularly notable in light of Germany’s support for the rebellion and its political arm, the Syrian National Council (SNC).
While France, the United Kingdom, and the United States have figured as the most visible Western powers supporting the rebellion, Germany has been quietly playing a major role behind the scenes. According to a new report in the FAZ, the German foreign office is working with representatives of the Syrian opposition to develop “concrete plans” for a “political transition” in Syria following the fall of Assad.

Syria – Assad meets with Gen. Ali Ayoub, Chief of Staff 22-07-2012
Dr Makdisi Press conference regarding “Chemical Weapons”
Dr Makdisi Press conference “Chemical Weapon Won’t Be Used Unless in Cas…
Foreign and Expatriates Ministry on Monday stressed Syria’s stance that any chemical or biological weapons will never ever be used during the crisis in Syria notwithstanding the developments inside the country.
A statement by the Ministry, read by spokesman Dr. Jihad Makdissi in a press conference, said that such weapons stocks are secured and directly monitored by the Syrian Armed Forces and would only be used in the case of external aggression on the country.
The Ministry made clear that it has followed with concern the proceedings of the political and media campaign directed against Syria, stressing that this campaign aims at justifying any possible military intervention on Syria under the false claim that Damascus is using weapons of mass destruction and preparing the international public opinion for such an intervention.
“The Foreign and Expatriates Ministry has previously declared the content and details of this stance to countries which expressed concern that unconventional weapons would reach a third part,” the statement added.
The Ministry, at the same time, warned of “another matter of concern” regarding the possibility of supplying the terrorist groups in Syria with arms from abroad in light of “the increasing bankruptcy”.
It said the aim of such possibility is “to hit the political system in Syria through using tactical bombs or mines containing biological substances that would explode somewhere in a village and then accusing the Syrian forces of doing that.”
The statement reiterated the Ministry’s stress that this systematic political and media campaign will not at all avail to help Syria overcome its crisis.
The Ministry admonished those countries claiming concern for Syria and the Syrians “to spare their efforts and negative media campaigns to persuading those whom they back, host, fund and arm to abide by a political solution to the crisis” according to the plan of the international envoy Kofi Annan.
Answering a question on the recent events taking place in some of Damascus neighborhoods, Makdissi said that “It is clear that the Syrian army is defending the Syrians and that we are in state of self-defense. There might be clashes in certain areas but the security situation is much more better.”
He added that the state will respond to those who carry weapons in the same way, stressing that doors are open those who call for dialogue and adopt political solution.
Makdissi assured those who left their houses that it is an urgent situation that will not last for more than two days before everything is back to normal, adding that Damascus Governorate is cooperating with charity organizations to provide help for those people.
Regarding news on armed terrorist groups taking control of border crossings withTurkey and Iraq, Makdissi said that the last to be liberated are two border crossings which were already abandoned and out of service since last June.
Commenting on the statement of the Arab Ministerial Committee in Doha, Makdissi said that changing Annan’s mission is not at the hands of the Arabs, underlining that talking about transitional power system constitutes a flagrant interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign state.
Makdissi regretted the Arab League immoral way in dealing with a founding state and instead of helping Syria, they are complicating more the situation.
He said that the Syrian people is the one to decide the future of country and the decisive factor is the ballot boxes and sitting down for dialogue serving Syria’s interests and not others’.
Makdissi said that “If these Arab countries are honest in their keenness on the Syrian blood, then they should stop arming and instigating against Syria because these acts can’t contribute to overcoming the crisis in peaceful ways.”
He added that this alleged keenness of these Arab countries is fake and proves their political hypocrisy. As for the statements of the Russian ambassador in Paris, Makdissi stressed that the Russian diplomat is to clarify his statements not the Syrian Foreign Ministry, adding that “We agreed on a political process within Annan’s plan which was approved by the UN Security Council. We agreed on a political process led by Syria and the Syrians.”
He highlighted that Syria didn’t demand Annan’s mission, but the international community pretended it wanted to help Syria, “Shifting or amending Annan’s plan is entrusted to the UN Security Council,” he said.
Makdissi underscored that the obstacles hindering Annan’s plan are made by the sides which are funding, arming and talking about weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and making preludes for things that will not happen.
Answering a question on the external political escalation which synchronies with a visit of the US Secretary of Defense to Israel to discuss the possibility of targeting the sites of the Syrian weapons, Makdissi said that “Even though I don’t know the agenda of the visit, but the reasons can’t be good. Anyway, I told you that they are making a media and political campaign, we are defending ourselves. If there are such weapons, they are for defending Syria against external aggression. Any military person knows that such weapons can’t be used in a guerilla warfare.”
On the possibility of a comprehensive war taking place in the region in case Israel decided to bombard the sites of the chemical weapons in Syria, Makdissi said “Don’t ask a diplomat about a war option, I don’t talk about a war and, God’s willing, there will not be a war.”
Le ministère des affaires étrangères et des expatriés affirme qu’il suit de près la campagne politique et médiatique lancée contre la Syrie dans le dessein de préparer l’opinion publique internationale à l’éventualité d’une intervention militaire sous le prétexte mensonger des “armes de destruction massive”.
Un communiqué du ministère des affaires étrangères et des expatriés, affirme que l’arme chimique ou biologique ne serait absolument pas utilisée dans la crise en Syrie. “Ces armes, fermement renfermées et sécurisées sous la supervision des forces armées syriennes, ne seront utilisées qu’en cas d’une agression étrangère contre la Syrie”, précise le communiqué, lu par le porte parole du ministère, Jihad al-Maqdissi, dans une conférence de presse tenue aujourd’hui.
M. Maqdissi a affirmé que le ministère avait déjà informé de cette position des pays ayant manifesté une inquiétude concernant l’arrivée des armes non conventionnelles à une partie tierce ou l’emploi de ces armes.
Le ministère a évoqué dans ce sens une autre question préoccupante, celle de la possibilité de l’armement des groupes terroristes de l’extérieur, à la lumière de leur déficit, afin de porter au régime politique en Syrie via des bombes tactiques ou des mines contentent des matières biologique en les faisant exploser dans l’une des villages pour en accuser les forces syriennes.
“Le ministère réaffirme que cette campagne politique et médiatique programmée n’aide pas la Syrie à surmonter sa crise. Nous conseillons les pays préoccupés de la Syrie et des Syriens d’épargner leurs efforts et leurs campagnes médiatiques négatives afin de convaincre ceux qu’ils soutenaient, finançaient et armaient à attacher à la solution politique conformément au plan de l’émissaire international, Kofi Annan.
Répondant à une question, M. Maqdissi a affirmé que toute arme chimique ou biologique ne serait jamais utilisée durant la crise en Syrie. “Ces armes, stockées et sécurisées par les forces armées syriennes, ne seront utilisées qu’en cas d’une agression étrangère contre la Syrie et c’est aux commandants de décider comment les utiliser”, a affirmé al-Maqdissi.
Abordant les développements qu’avaient connus certains quartiers de Damas, M. al-Maqdissi a indiqué que l’armée syrienne est actuellement en état d’autodéfense et que la situation sécuritaire sera meilleure. “Toute personne portant les armes contre l’Etat celui-ci ne pourra répondre qu’avec la même méthode et toute personne appelant au dialogue et adoptant une solution politique les portes sont pleinement ouvertes devant elle’, a-t-il ajouté, affirmant qu’après un ou deux jours les affaires suivront leur cours normal.
A une question sur la domination par des groupes terroristes armés de certains points de passage avec la Turquie et l’Irak, M. Maqdissi a précisé que les dernières nouvelles indiquent que deux points de passage sont hors contrôle mais en fin de compte le point de passage n’est pas une caserne militaire mais un barrage fermé par les deux parties, sa pénétration ou non est une question possible mais le fait de poursuivre sa domination est une autre question.
A propos de la déclaration publiée par la réunion du comité ministériel arabe à Doha sur le changement de la mission de Kofi Annan et le transfert pacifique du pouvoir, M. Maqdissi a précisé qu’un tel changement n’est pas à la main des ministres arabes mais un souhait qu’ils proposaient sous le grand titre : “hypocrisie politique” et le transfert du pouvoir constitue une intervention flagrante dans les affaires intérieures d’un Etat souverains comme la Syrie qui est un pays fondateur de la Ligue arabe. “Le peuple syrien est le maître de la décision qui décide de l’avenir de son pays”, a-t-il affirmé.
Il a souligné que si les pays arabes réunis à Doha, sont sincères quant à l’arrêt de l’effusion de sang syrien, ils auraient stoppé toutes les incitations médiatiques méthodiques.
Et M. al-Maqdissi d’affirmé que la Syrie est totalement engagée à assurer le succès de la mission d’Annan et à surmonter tout obstacle qui l’entrave, précisant que les obstacles devant l’exécution dudit plan ne sont pas dressés par la Syrie mais par ceux qui financent, arment et parlent des armes de destruction massive.

المؤتمر الصحفي للدكتور جهاد مقدسي
Dr Makdisi Press conference "Chemical Weapon Won’t Be Used Unless in Cas…
Foreign and Expatriates Ministry on Monday stressed Syria’s stance that any chemical or biological weapons will never ever be used during the crisis in Syria notwithstanding the developments inside the country.
A statement by the Ministry, read by spokesman Dr. Jihad Makdissi in a press conference, said that such weapons stocks are secured and directly monitored by the Syrian Armed Forces and would only be used in the case of external aggression on the country.
The Ministry made clear that it has followed with concern the proceedings of the political and media campaign directed against Syria, stressing that this campaign aims at justifying any possible military intervention on Syria under the false claim that Damascus is using weapons of mass destruction and preparing the international public opinion for such an intervention.
“The Foreign and Expatriates Ministry has previously declared the content and details of this stance to countries which expressed concern that unconventional weapons would reach a third part,” the statement added.
The Ministry, at the same time, warned of “another matter of concern” regarding the possibility of supplying the terrorist groups in Syria with arms from abroad in light of “the increasing bankruptcy”.
It said the aim of such possibility is “to hit the political system in Syria through using tactical bombs or mines containing biological substances that would explode somewhere in a village and then accusing the Syrian forces of doing that.”
The statement reiterated the Ministry’s stress that this systematic political and media campaign will not at all avail to help Syria overcome its crisis.
The Ministry admonished those countries claiming concern for Syria and the Syrians “to spare their efforts and negative media campaigns to persuading those whom they back, host, fund and arm to abide by a political solution to the crisis” according to the plan of the international envoy Kofi Annan.
Answering a question on the recent events taking place in some of Damascus neighborhoods, Makdissi said that “It is clear that the Syrian army is defending the Syrians and that we are in state of self-defense. There might be clashes in certain areas but the security situation is much more better.”
He added that the state will respond to those who carry weapons in the same way, stressing that doors are open those who call for dialogue and adopt political solution.
Makdissi assured those who left their houses that it is an urgent situation that will not last for more than two days before everything is back to normal, adding that Damascus Governorate is cooperating with charity organizations to provide help for those people.
Regarding news on armed terrorist groups taking control of border crossings withTurkey and Iraq, Makdissi said that the last to be liberated are two border crossings which were already abandoned and out of service since last June.
Commenting on the statement of the Arab Ministerial Committee in Doha, Makdissi said that changing Annan’s mission is not at the hands of the Arabs, underlining that talking about transitional power system constitutes a flagrant interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign state.
Makdissi regretted the Arab League immoral way in dealing with a founding state and instead of helping Syria, they are complicating more the situation.
He said that the Syrian people is the one to decide the future of country and the decisive factor is the ballot boxes and sitting down for dialogue serving Syria’s interests and not others’.
Makdissi said that “If these Arab countries are honest in their keenness on the Syrian blood, then they should stop arming and instigating against Syria because these acts can’t contribute to overcoming the crisis in peaceful ways.”
He added that this alleged keenness of these Arab countries is fake and proves their political hypocrisy. As for the statements of the Russian ambassador in Paris, Makdissi stressed that the Russian diplomat is to clarify his statements not the Syrian Foreign Ministry, adding that “We agreed on a political process within Annan’s plan which was approved by the UN Security Council. We agreed on a political process led by Syria and the Syrians.”
He highlighted that Syria didn’t demand Annan’s mission, but the international community pretended it wanted to help Syria, “Shifting or amending Annan’s plan is entrusted to the UN Security Council,” he said.
Makdissi underscored that the obstacles hindering Annan’s plan are made by the sides which are funding, arming and talking about weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and making preludes for things that will not happen.
Answering a question on the external political escalation which synchronies with a visit of the US Secretary of Defense to Israel to discuss the possibility of targeting the sites of the Syrian weapons, Makdissi said that “Even though I don’t know the agenda of the visit, but the reasons can’t be good. Anyway, I told you that they are making a media and political campaign, we are defending ourselves. If there are such weapons, they are for defending Syria against external aggression. Any military person knows that such weapons can’t be used in a guerilla warfare.”
On the possibility of a comprehensive war taking place in the region in case Israel decided to bombard the sites of the chemical weapons in Syria, Makdissi said “Don’t ask a diplomat about a war option, I don’t talk about a war and, God’s willing, there will not be a war.”

Putin Signs Law Considering NGOs “Foreign Agents”
Putin Signs Law Considering NGOs “Foreign Agents”.

Russian Peresident Vladidmir Putin signs a bill passed by parliament which brands NGOs which receive funding from abroad as “foreign agents”. Putin “signed the federal law on regulating the activities of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) who carry out the role of a foreign agent”, the Kremlin said Saturday in a statement. The law, which sailed through the State Duma lower house on July 13 and then the upper house Federation Council on July 18, requires NGOs who receive foreign funding to register with the authorities as foreign agents. The NGOs will have to allow official checks of their income, accounting and management structure as well as regularly make public their sources of income and their management. The law has caused huge concern among activists who fear it will be used to stigmatise critical NGOs. The label “foreign agent” does not directly implicate the NGO in espionage but does carry in Russian unequivocally negative connotations of unpatriotic behaviour. “Materials published by the NGO in the media and on the Internet should be accompanied by a note that these materials have been published or distributed by an NGO carrying out the role of a foreign agent,” the new legislation says. |

“Free Syrian Army” Fails to seize Crossing on Jordan Border
The so-called Free Syrian Army has failed to seize a post on Jordan border, as it was repelled by the government forces.
AFP news agency quoted a Jordanian security official as saying that Nassib border was still by the hand of regime forces.
“Opposition fighters from the Free Syrian Army tried at noon today to seize control of the Nassib border crossing but failed after confrontations with the Syrian army,” the official said.
“We could hea’r from our side of the border the sound of gunfire and clashes on the Syrian side,” he added.
BEWARE OF FAKE PROPAGANDA!The Syrian Information Ministry has cautioned the nation against a “fake” satellite channel which carries the logo of the country’s national TV
The Syrian Information Ministry has cautioned the nation against a “fake” satellite channel which carries the logo of the country’s national TV but has actually been set up to broadcast anti-government reports.At the moment a fake channel is broadcasting Syrian national songs as well as its national anthem to lay the ground for broadcasting the programs that their nature is clear, the ministry said in a statement.
It issued the warning after armed terrorists kidnapped Mohammed Saeed, a broadcaster of the Syrian television, in Jdeidet Artouz area of the capital Damascus.
The ministry also warned that it is possible that the Syrian national TV is taken off air any moment and replaced by the fake channel.
Syrian officials had previously warned about an intensifying media campaign and spread of rumors against the Damascus government.
Syrian Satellite channel Dunya TV, which has played a key role in disclosing different plots against Syria, has been taken off air from Arab satellites of Arabsat and Nilesat.

How leftist “anti-zionists” are allied with Israel against Syria
By Mimi Al Laham (aka “Syrian Girl”) and Lizzie Phelan
The Myth
There has been a ridiculous notion amongst numerous left groups and those opposed to the Syrian government, that the Israeli regime does not want to see Assad fall. As self-professed “anti-zionists”, many in these groups are content to delude themselves into believing that both their enemies are on the same side. In the case of several socialist groups, they believe that this forcing of the Syrian crisis into their blanket “anti-authoritarian” narrative (regardless of the state in which they are applying that narrative to) enables them to maintain a façade of anti-imperialism.
London based socialist newspaper The Socialist Review writes: “Israel, although hostile to Syria, could depend on the Baathist regime to keep the frontier quiet. Thus criticism of Bashar is more muted in Tel Aviv.”
And Simon Assaf of the SocialistWorker writes:
The notion that ordinary Syrians struggling to change their country are the pawns of a ‘Western plot’ is absurd…In fact the Arab League is attempting to throw the regime a lifeline.
This view is also pervasive amongst the Islamic opposition to the Syrian government.Rafiq A. Tschannen of the The Muslims Times writes:
Israel believes that it would be safer under Assad regime than the new government whose credentials are unknown or the new Islamic extremist regime that would open a new war front with the Jewish state.
Israeli state media has actively fuelled this manipulation, as it has been beneficial to the Israeli state to both discredit the Syrian government in the eyes of Syrians and Arabs amongst whom cooperation with Israel has historically been a red line. Therefore the goal of these reports has been to create the false perception that Israel is uninvolved in the insurgency against the Syrian government. Similarly to how the NATO powers were keen to portray the Libyan insurgency as a “home-grown revolution”.
In this early 2011 Haaretz article entitled ‘Israel’s favourite dictator’, great lengths are taken to paint the Syrian president as a weak stooge of the Israeli state. The article regurgitates common Syrian criticisms and sources of frustration about the Syrian government’s failure to take back the Golan Heights. It even goes as far as to chastise Assad for not attacking Israel. The irony that an Israeli paper would be critical of a president’s failure to attack Israel is apparently lost on many. All the more incredible that these anti-zionist groups have chosen to believe the spin of Israeli state media.
The Turkish based Syrian opposition, the Syrian National Council (SNC), also jumped on this bandwagon. The now deposed leader of the SNC, Burghan Ghallion told Israeli paper Ynetnews “We are convinced that the Syrian regime’s strongest ally is Israel”.
Debunking the Myth
However the following facts expose all of the above as merely a part of the psychological warfare machinery directed from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Israel and the NATO countries, which is an essential part of the overall aggression against Syria, and that such leftists have willingly become a part of:
Israel’s most important ally, the US, has been amongst its other allies repeatedly calling for regime change in Syria
Israel’s strongest ally the United States has been pushing for regime change in Syriasince before the first signs of insurrection began. Most famously in 2007, General Wesley Clarke, who served as NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander between 1997 and 2000 said he had received a memo from the US Secretary of Defense’s Office which read that the Syrian Government would be one of the seven governments the US would destroy in the subsequent five years.
The Guardian’s recent headline “Saudi Arabia plans to fund Syria rebel army” is in the typical style of the liberal media based in the NATO countries a malignant manipulation. The text of that article is specifically about plans by the US’ and by extension Israel’s most important regional allies, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, to pay the salaries of insurgents. But buried further down the very same article also reports that such support began months before. A less misleading headline therefore would replace “plans to fund” with “increases support for”, however a truthful headline would suggest external control over Syria’s insurgency has existed since its onset.
Indeed both Qatar and Saudi Arabia have a long history of hostility to the Syrian Ba’ath Party and Syrian foreign policy, a fact which is reflected in both of their leading medias (Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya respectively) severely distorted coverage of events in Syria from the outset.
But to highlight this context would give too much weight to the Syrian government’s consistent analysis that the crisis within its borders is externally created. A fact which leftist groups also fall over themselves trying to downplay or dismiss with the result of boosting the opposing narrative which imperialism has made dominant through its media machinery.
Why did that same Guardian article, and western leftists who claim that Assad is good for Israel fail to mention that for example in early April, the US openly pledged to double its assistance to the insurgents to the tune of an additional $12 million, under the cover of “humanitarian aid”? Or the recent US admission that it is actively arming the insurgency using Qatar as a proxy? Or that in February, solid Israeli ally British Foreign Minister William Hague pledged more equipment to the insurgents, insisting there was “no limit on what resources” Britain would provide?
It shouldn’t have to be explained to anti-Zionists that US and Israeli foreign policy is one and the same.
Axis of Resistance
Syria is a member of the Axis of Resistance, which is the only effective military resistance to Israel left. It is made up of Syria, Iran and the resistance inside Lebanon with Hizbullah at the helm. Far from being a ‘safe’ option for Israel, as Al Akhbar writer Amal Saad-Ghorayeb sets out in her three part critique of the third-way position that has seized much of the western left, Syria has consistently put itself on the frontline, risking its own survival, and has been involved in every Arab-Israeli conflict since they took power. Syria has been the strongest supporter of the Lebanese resistance movements against Israeli occupation; Hizbullah has repeatedly unequivocally attributed its ability to effectively win the 2006 war against Israeli invasion of Lebanon to its support from Syria and Iran.
A year since the beginning of the insurrection in Syria, the ridiculous notion that Israel was not pursuing regime change in Syria began to crumble. Israeli Intelligence Minister, Dan Meridor was quoted on Israeli radio, pointing out what was obvious all along: Regime change in Syria would break the Iran-Syria mutual defence pact thereby isolating Iran and cutting the supply of arms to Hezbollah. Finally, Israel’s greatest adversary, Syria, would be crippled.
This was not reported in Israeli mass media, which ensured that the lid was kept on the obvious, clearly in the knowledge that it would make the position of the insurgent’s self-professed anti-zionist cheerleaders in the west and Arab world more untenable. Yet those cheerleaders who maintain that Assad is good for Israel have been unable to reconcile then why Israel relentlessly beats the war drums against one of Syria’s most important allies, Iran.
Aside from wanting to get rid of Assad to secure military hegemony of the region, Israel also has an economic interest in scarpering the Syria, Iran, Iraq oil pipeline which would rival both Israel’s BTC pipeline and the eternally fledgling plans for Europe’s Nabucco pipeline.
Pro-Israel Opposition
With increasing momentum, the already tenuous facade of being pro-Assad in the Israeli media began to crumble and increasingly, voices within the Syrian opposition have been crossing the red line of sounding friendly towards Israel.
MK Yitzhak Herzog, who has previously held ministerial posts in Israeli parliament, said that Syrian opposition leaders have told him they want peace with Israel after Syrian President Bashar al Assad falls.
Indeed, SNC member Bassma Kodmani attended the 2012 Bilderberg conferencewhere regime change in Syria was on the agenda. Kodmani has previously called for friendly relations between Syria and Israel on a French talk show, going as far as to say: ‘We need Israel in the region’.
Another SNC member, Ammar Abdulhamid declared his support for friendly relations between Israel and Syria in an interview with Israeli news paper Ynetnews.
Earlier this year a telephone conversation between the SNC’s Radwan Ziyade and Mouhammad Abdallah emerged where they begged Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barack for more support.
Outside the SNC the children of former leadership figures now in opposition have joined the pro-Israel rat race. Ribal al-Assad, the son of Bashar Assad’s uncle and exiled former vice-president Rifaat al-Asaad welcomed the possibility of Syria making peace with Israel. And son of former Syrian prime minister Nofal Al-Dawalibi,said in an interview on Israeli radio that the Syrian people want peace with Israel. Dawalibi formed the “Free Syrian Transitional National Government”, another external opposition group rivaling the SNC for power in a situation where the Syrian government falls. This sectarian infighting and disunity, that is a mirror of post-Gaddafi Libya, is now threatening to plague the Syria.
Lower down the opposition hierarchy, pro-Israel voices are still to be found.
Syrian Danny Abdul-Dayem, the almost one-hit-wonder unofficial spokesman for the FSA, appeared on CNN begging Israel to Attack Syria.
And in an interview with Israel’s Channel 2, Sheikh Abdullah Tamimi, an exiled Imam from the Syrian city of Homs, said that the Syrian Opposition does not have any enmity towards Israel. Tamimi proceeded to request monetary and military support for Sunnis in Syria and Lebanon.
Anti-Assad Zionists and Israeli Leaders
Socialists chosen to be blind to the fact that prominent Zionists have been backing the Syrian insurgency since its inception.
US Senator John Mccain and Joe Lieberman, both well known to be close friends of the zionist entity, met with the SNC and Syrian insurgents on the Turkish border, then called for the US to arm them. In fact Joe Lieberman has been calling for war against Syria since 2011.
Another well known zionist Bernard Henri-Levy, who spear-headed the destruction of Libya by NATO aerial bombardment, has also called for an attack on Syria.

More recently voices within the Israeli government have been more vocal and demanding in their desire to see the Syrian government’s replacement with a more friendly puppet regime.
Israeli President Shimon Peres, upon receiving the ‘Medal of Freedom’ from US President Barack Obama, said that the world had to get rid of Assad. That he was receiving such a medal requires its own article dedicated to psychoanalyzing such an event, but that he could also claim, while being part of a system that is responsible for some of the gravest abuses to humankind in history, that from a “human” point of view Assad must go, should really get so-called anti-Zionists thinking.
Other members of the Israeli government, such as Israeli Vice Prime Minister, Shaul Mofaz, urged world powers to mount a Libya style regime change in Syria.
And Israeli defense minister Ehud Barack called for the ‘world to act’ to remove Assad while Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon accused the “world” of wrong doing for failing to act against the Syrian government and then offered Israel “assistance” for Syrian ‘refugees’.
Finally, Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon accused the ‘world’ of wrong doing for failing to act against the Syrian government. Then offered Israel offered ‘assistance’ for Syrian ‘refugees’. Thinly euphemism for arming insurgents on the border.
Conclusion
In spite of the overt desire of the US government for regime change in Syria, which they have made clear time and time again, Israel has obvious economic and military interests Israel has for pursuing regime change in Syria, most notably the the break up of the Axis of Resistance and the destruction of plans for rival oil pipelines. Despite numerous public statements by Syrian opposition members that they are pro-israel and the multitude of Israeli government officials calling for the fall of the Syrian government as well as zionist lobbyists and key zionist figures like Bernard Henri-Levy backing the insurgency, so called ‘anti-zionist’ Socialists and Islamic groups persist in their claim that Israel has no stake in regime change in Syria and that the insurgency inside Syria is from the grass roots. Though all information contrary to this delusion is in clear sight, it seems that the socialist and Islamic groups are willingly blind.
This position becomes increasingly untenable however, most recently in light of the murder of Syria’s Deputy Defence Minister Asef Shawkat, which along with the simultaneous murder of Defence Minister Raoud Dajiha and Assistant to the Vice President Hassan Turkomani, which the Syrian government laid the responsibility for squarely at the doors of Israel, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, as new information has come to light as revealed by Al Akhbar editor-in-chief Ibrahim al-Amin.
In an article published today, Amin writes of Shawkat, that in spite of the incessant attempts by the US, Israel et al to demonise him, he in fact,
played a major role in resisting Israeli occupation in and around Palestine. Right to the end, he took practical charge of meeting the needs of the resistance forces in Palestine and Lebanon, and of their members and cadres in Syria. He oversaw everything from their accommodation and transportation, to their training camps and provisions, and arranging for cadres from inside Palestine to come to the country secretly for training.
For the resistance in Lebanon, Shawkat was a true partner, providing whatever assistance was needed without needing orders or approval from the leadership. He was a central player in the June 2006 war. He spent the entire time in the central operations room that was set up in line with a directive by Assad to supply the resistance with whatever weapons it wanted, notably missiles, from Syrian army stocks. Shawkat and other officers and men of the Syrian army – including Muhammad Suleiman who was assassinated by the Mossad on the Syrian coast in 2008 – spent weeks coordinating the supply operation which helped the resistance achieve the successes that led to the defeat of Israel.
Despite the accusations levelled against Asef Shawkat regarding security, political or other matters, for Imad Mughniyeh, the assassinated military leader of Hezbollah, he was just another comrade, a modest man who would bow when shaking hands with Hassan Nasrallah, and liked to hear the news from Palestine last thing at night.
However anti-zionist one proclaims to be, there are few in this world that can claim to have done as much as the above for the Palestinian Resistance to the zionist entity. But having proven to wilfully ignore all of the facts and history of Syria’s long history of resistance to Israel, it is a great tragedy that those who cling on to the argument dealt with in this essay, would only perhaps be able to let go of it should Syria fall and then the reality of Palestine’s total military abandonment would be all to devastatingly clear to see
Chapter 7 resolution of the UN Security Council on Syria vetoed by Russia and China
Chapter 7 resolution of the UN Security Council on Syria vetoed by Russia and China
It was the third time in nine months that Russia and China used their powers as permanent members of the 15-nation council for Syria. There were 11 votes in favor of the resolution. Russia and China voted against it, while South Africa and Pakistan abstained from voting.
Addressing the council, Russian Representative to the UN Vitaly Churkin accused the Western members of the UNSC of attempting to “fan the flames of confrontation in the Security Council.”
“The draft resolution which was voted on was biased. The threat of sanctions was leveled exclusively at the government of Syria, and does not reflect the realities in the country today. It’s especially ambiguous in light of what happened with the grave terrorist attack that took place in Damascus”, Churkin said
Chapter 7 allows the 15-member council to authorize actions ranging from diplomatic and economic sanctions to military intervention. US officials have said they are talking about sanctions on Syria, not military intervention, but Russia and China strongly believe allowing such a resolution to pass could create a repeat of the so-called ‘Libya scenario.’
A Russia-backed resolution was scheduled to be presented to the UNSC as well, but Churkin said the draft will not be put to a vote, after some members of the Council refused to even discuss it.
“We believe that continued confrontation in the Security Council to be useless and counterproductive, and for this reason we will not submit our draft to a vote”, Chukin said.
Instead, the Russian representative proposed a brief depoliticized resolution on a technical extension for the UN observer mission, whose mandate had to expire on Friday but was decided to continue another 15 days.
Dr. Bashar Ja’afari: we expect the Security Council to engage positively with respect to the matter of Syria
There is a suspicious synchronization between meetings of the Security Council and the treacherous acts of terrorism against the Syrian people and institutions
The Security Council did not condemn the terrorist act in Damascus and this means that all international community that established a fight against terrorism is only ink on paper
All international community must unite the efforts to find a peaceful solution in Syria!Dialogue is the only solution!
The success of the Annan plan does not mean only Syrian commitment but also on the commitment of the international and regional parties to stop supporting terrorists with money and weapons
if the UN doesn’t condemn the Damascus terrorist attacks then everything the UN has built to fight terrorism is in vain.
The Syrians are now doubtful of any meeting the UNSC holds, for the synchronicity of these meetings with terrorist actions that had led to the death of may of our people.
I am sure you remember the bombings and massacres that have taken place before each and every meeting. And today, the act that had preceded your meeting was the assassination of three of our generals.
The UNSC did not condemn this act. If this act had not succeeded in getting the attention of your council, right away, then this would mean that everything the UNSC stands for is just ink on paper, and worth nothing.
Some countries contributed to inflame and distort the image of the Syrian government
if the UN doesn’t condemn the Damascus terrorist attacks then everything the UN has built to fight terrorism is in vain.
the terrorists have external support,and they are nothing but Arab and non Arab terrorists
internal opposition participated in dialogue and they reject the attacks on civilians,oil pipelines ,buildings or infrastructure
some provided arms or logistic support for the armed gangs in Syria,
if you want to impose the law of the jungle in other countries than allow it in your own!
about chemical weapons:it reflects the wish of some to use this kind of weapons against our people and than use it as an excuse in the Security Council to appeal chapter seven
The news about chemical weapons and Syria’s intention to use them, are absolute lies.
As Syrians, we have to realize, that those countries calling for the Syrians so called freedom, are not really concerned with the Syrians, but their main aim is the state of Syria, and its regional and global role.
Those who have stopped at nothing to help Israel, or to mock the Arabs into Sykes Pictot, and Balfour, would never want our interests.
As Syrians, we should always realize that our solution should be Syrian, and only Syrian
د. بشار الجعفري :كنا نتوقع من مجلس الأمن الانخراط الإيجابي فيما يتعلق بالشأن السوري
هناك تزامن مشبوه بين جلسات مجلس الامن وبين اعمال ارهابية غادرة تطال الشعب السوري ومؤسساته
أضحى الشعب السوري ينتابه الريبة قبل انعقاد أي جلسة لمجلس الأمن بسبب التزامن المشبوه لهذه الجلسات مع أعمال إرهابية غادرة
اليوم للأسف تكرر هذا النهج المؤلم لجميع السوريين حيث امتدت يد الإرهاب لتطال وزراء وعدد من قادة الأجهزة الأمنية
مجلس الامن لم يدن العمل الارهابي في دمشق وهذا يعني أن كل مابناه المجتمع الدولي حول مكافحة الارهاب لم يكن إلا حبراً على ورق
نجاح خطة عنان لاتقتصر على النية السورية فقط وإنما على إلتزام الأطراف الدولية والإقليمية بإيقاف دعم الارهابيين بالمال والسلاح
الجعفري :اعتمدنا نهجا منفتحا للوصول الى حل سلمي في سوريا
هناك إرهابيون بينهم أفراد من القاعدة يرتكبون مجازر في سوريا
ذهبت بعض الدوائر للترويج عن صورة مغلوطة عما يجري فعلا في سورية
الأزمة في سورية هي أزمة مركبة لها أبعاد متشعبة داخليا وخارجيا ولولا ذلك لما كنتم تنظرون بهذه الأزمة
الحكومة السورية لم تنكر المطالب المحقة وعدت أصحابها شركاء
هناك من غرر بهم وحملوا السلاح وهؤلاء أخطؤوا
بعضكم أيها السادة من قرر اغلاق سفاراته في دمشق وسحب سفراءه لا يعرف أن المجموعات المسلحة هاجمت 3 مرات محطات توليد الطاقة الكهربائية في سورية
هناك دول تدخلت في الشأن السوري بشكل فظ وقرعت طبول الحرب وقدمت السلاح والمال والتغطية السياسية والإعلامية للجماعات المسلحة
The declaration of a Syrian Human rights activist
Damascus, Syria

19/7/2012
My name is Bassam Al-Kadi (48 years old), a Syrian human rights activist, especially the rights of women and children.
I opposed the Syrian regime since 1982 for justice, freedom and democracy, and I was arrested four times (1985 to 2012), including a total of 7 and a half years.
I supported the Syrian civil movement for freedom and democracy until it turned into a battle waged by criminal fundamentalist forces aiming to divide Syria and transfer it into terrorist emirates subjected to Israel and U.S.
I declare the following:
In the light of Foreign Military threats against my country, under the pretext of security situation, I assure that I will immediately become a suicide bomber to kill all those who contributes in any military action against my country, whether by a single country or a group of states, whether by a Security Council decision or the United Nations or NATO or any other party.
I assure that every diplomat and politician in the enemy states that are involved in the attacks on Syria, including of all civilians in those countries who support the attack on my country, and every facility I can access in the countries that participated in the invasion, are legitimate targets for me.
All written laws of earth and heaven have ensured the people’s right to defend their country, and I am going to exercise this right against you without hesitation, and with me hundreds of thousands of Syrians who are willing to sacrifice their bodies and their lives in defense of Syria.
My position, if you are interested to know, has nothing to do with neither the Syrian regime nor any of its apparatuses. Whether the regime decided to confront you or not, I will fight you without hesitation or mercy.
Afghanistan, Somalia, Iraq and Libya will be nothing but a simple walk in front of what you will face if you think to take any military action against Syria.

أنا المواطن السوري بسام القاضي، عمري 48 سنة، ناشط في حقوق الإنسان، وخاصة حقوق المرأة والطفل،
عارضت النظام السوري من أجل العدالة والحرية والديمقراطية منذ 1982، واعتقلت أربع مرات (1985 حتى 2012)، بما مجموعه 7 سنوات نصف،
أيدت الحراك المدني السوري من أجل الحرية والديمقراطية حتى تحول إلى معركة تخوضها القوى الأصولية الإجرامية من أجل تقسيم سورية وتحويلها إلى إمارات إرهابية خاضعة لإسرائيل وأمريكا،
أعلن ما يلي:
في ظل تصاعد التهديدات العسكرية الخارجية ضد بلدي، بحجة الوضع الأمني فيها، فإنني أؤكد أنني سأتحول فورا إلى انتحاري يقوم بقتل كل من يساهم في أي عمل عسكري ضد بلدي، سواء كان عن طريق دولة منفردة أو مجموعة دول، وسواء كان بقرار من مجلس الأمن أو الأمم المتحدة أو أي حلف أو جهة أخرى،
وأؤكد أن كل دبلوماسي وسياسي في الدول العدوة التي تشارك أي هجوم على سورية، بضمن ذلك كل من مدني في تلك الدول يؤيد الهجوم على بلدي، وكل منشأة أستطيع الوصول إليها في الدول التي تشارك في هذا الهجوم، هي أهداف مشروعة لي،
لقد كفلت جميع شرائع الأرض والسماء حق الناس بالدفاع عن بلدهم،
وسأمارس هذا الحق ضدكم بلا تردد، ومعي مئات آلاف السوريين المستعدين للتضحية بأجسادهم وأرواحهم دفاعا عن سورية،
إن موقفي هذا، إن كان يهمكم أن تعرفوا، لا علاقة له بالنظام السوري ولا بأي من أجهزته. وسواء قرر النظام مواجهتكم أم لا فإنني سوف أواجهكم بلا تردد ولا رحمة.
إن أفغانستان والصومال والعراق وليبيا لن تكون سوى نزهة بسيطة أمام ما ستواجهونه في بلدي إن فكرتم بأي عمل عسكري ضده،
وقد أعذر من أنذر

Syria: the real situation

Letter from First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates in the Arab Republic of Syria, Walid Al Moallem, to Kofi Anan, UN Special Envoy. In this letter, the truth about Syria is explained, a truth that is radically different from the nonsense fueling the FUKUS* Axis’ belligerence.
Mr. Kofi Anan
UN Special Envoy
Dear Sir,
I read your letter, dated 13/07/2012, addressed to the Secretary General of the United Nations, in which you refer to the tragic reports from the village of Al Tremseh, near Hama and the use of guns, tanks and helicopters by part of the Syrian Government. I regret that you should have based your position on a single source of information and one which is inaccurate.
I hoped you would verify reports from the Syrian Government before adopting them, so you could see the truth of the facts, noting that once we attended to the request of the observer mission to visit Al Tremseh the visit was, in fact, held on a date set by them, on 14/07/2012. What happened in the village of Al Tremseh near Hama, is that dozens of members of armed terrorist groups invaded the village and settled there, terrorizing the civilian residents and creating a command headquarters, weapons depots and places of torture of hostages, attacking more than one point of the security forces concentrated on the outskirts of the village, which required a response from the security forces at 5:00 in the morning of Thursday, 12/07/2012.
These attacks remained for some hours, but government forces did not use planes or helicopters or tanks or guns, but entered the town under the protection of military transport cars like BMB and used small arms, as defined by the Initial Understanding signed between Syria and the United Nations. During the clashes, only five houses were damaged in the village who were used as headquarters of the armed terrorist groups, as there were found large quantities of arms, ammunition and explosive devices.
I say to you that government forces committed no massacre, as announced by the press, but armed groups brought with them some of the bodies of their dead and claimed that the Syrian army launched a massacre against civilians, a fact that I strongly deny.
I find it very strange your silence about the daily violations committed by armed terrorist groups, which have already exceeded ten thousand and five hundred violations from 12/04/2012 to date. Honestly, there was no mention about it in your statements or reports to the Security Council. The adoption of non-credible sources of information affects your mission and serves only the interests of those seeking the failure of this mission, the same time that Syria cares for the success of your mission and reaffirms the commitment of the Government of Syria to the Six-Point Plan and the Initial Understanding signed on 19.4.2012, as well as the understanding which occurred between yourself and the President Bashar Al Assad, during your last visit to Damascus and Syria expects further progress in implementing this agreement to stop the violence and start the political process.
Please accept my compliments and I ask that a copy of my letter is sent to the UN Secretary General and the President of the Security Council.

Terrorist suicide bomber killed at least five people and injured dozens more when he detonated in the Christian area of Mardeh, 23 miles North of Hama. This is another example of Syrian rebels targetting minorities for ethnic cleansing and sectarian attacks.
