<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">More evidence of Jabhat al-Nusra militants using foreign weapons has emerged. Among the deluge of videos and images uploaded on a regular basis, the following images were spotted by Syria Report showing militants allegedly fighting in Busra al-Sham (Arabic: بصرى). The town in southern Syria, is conveniently located in Dara'a province close to the border with Jordan which harbours critical supply lines of both militants and weapons. Three days ago, </span><a href="http://syriareport.net/militants-steal-un-vehicles/" style="-webkit-transition: color 300ms, background-color 300ms; background-color: white; border: 0px rgb(238, 238, 238); line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: color 300ms, background-color 300ms; vertical-align: baseline;">an article by Syria Report</a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"> detailed the activities of militant groups in the south. An organisation calling itself the Yarmouk Martyrs brigade, famous for abducting UN personnel on two occasions, stealing UN vehicles and executing captured soldiers - received foreign weapons. Evidence suggests that a myriad of insurgent groups have received foreign weapons from Croatia in an operation coordinated by the United States, Turkey, Jordan & Saudi Arabia. The arms trafficking was implemented with at least 160 military cargo flights from Croatia, as </span><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/25/world/middleeast/arms-airlift-to-syrian-rebels-expands-with-cia-aid.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0" style="-webkit-transition: color 300ms, background-color 300ms; background-color: white; border: 0px rgb(238, 238, 238); line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: color 300ms, background-color 300ms; vertical-align: baseline;">reported by the New York Times</a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"> following an exposé by a Croatian newspaper. The weapons transported to factions were the M79 Osa anti-tank weapon, the RBG-6 grenade launcher, the M60 recoilless rifle, and the RPG-22. Each of these has been spotted hundreds of times in footage uploaded by some of Syria’s myriad of militant organisations, of which there are said to be </span><a href="http://video.pbs.org/video/2365004121" style="-webkit-transition: color 300ms, background-color 300ms; background-color: white; border: 0px rgb(238, 238, 238); line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: color 300ms, background-color 300ms; vertical-align: baseline;">over a thousand</a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">. Indeed, the weapons are all currently used by the Croatian military. Additionally, it should be noted that several other types of foreign-produced weapons have been spotted in Syria, such as assault rifles and sniper rifles. Recently, a number of images uploaded by Jabhat al-Nusra indicated skirmishes with Syrian forces in Busra al-Sham, close to the border with Jordan. In the images, the M60 recoilless anti-tank rifle, included in the foreign effort to arm insurgents, can be seen:</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This isn't the first instance of Jabhat al-Nusra being seen operating weapons, in their possession most likely as a result of the operation to arm militant groups. The following image from February shows a Jabhat al-Nusra militant handling a M79 Osa anti-tank weapon. The image was included with a statement posted on an global Jihadist online forum, which detailed an insurgent operation involving a number of allied groups. The reality of of co-operating insurgent factions, increasingly under the command of Jabhat al-Nusra, casts significant doubt on American statements regarding "identifying" and arming the "right" groups. The reality also underlines the doubts and fears felt by many, firstly, that militant groups are untrustworthy, extremist in their outlook, ideology and operation, and have committed countless war crimes. Indeed, the nature of the armed opposition vindicates comments by Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad who spoke of the multiple terror groups who have no political platform to speak of. On 2 March, another operation in Dara'a province by Jabhat al-Nusra and other groups, shows a M60 recoilless gun being used to attack an army outpost, Hajez Barad, in Busr al-Harir. Again, this type of weapon was part of the global and regional operation to arm militant groups in Syria.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">All of the images and footage substantiate a January report from Alikhbaria Syria, showing a massive seizure of some of the arms destined for militants. The seizure was made in Dara'a, again, close to the border with Jordan and the same region in which Jabhat al-Nusra and other Jihadist groups have been spotted with the weapons.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://jeffchidester.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/obama-confused-thumb-234x218-21901.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="186" src="http://jeffchidester.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/obama-confused-thumb-234x218-21901.jpg" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1371638927687_2790" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #362f2d; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">In perfect Bush-like fashion, President Obama has invented a bogus pretense for military intervention in yet another Middle East country. The president’s claim that the Syrian government has used chemical weapons — and thus crossed Obama’s imaginary “red line” — will likely fool very few Americans, who already distrust their president after the massive NSA spying scandal. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #362f2d; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">Obama has officially started down a path that inevitably leads to full-scale war. At this point the Obama administration thinks it has already invested too much military, financial, and diplomatic capital into the Syrian conflict to turn back, and each step forward brings the U.S. closer to a direct military intervention.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #362f2d; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #362f2d; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Much like Obama’s spying program, few Americans knew that the United States was already involved, neck deep, with the mass killings occurring in Syria. For example, Obama has been directly arming the Syrian rebels for well over a year. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/25/world/middleeast/arms-airlift-to-syrian-rebels-expands-with-cia-aid.html?hp&_r=1&" rel="nofollow" style="border: 0px; color: #3b4d81; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">The New York Times broke the story </a>that the Obama administration has — through the CIA — been illegally trafficking thousands of tons of guns to the rebels from the dictatorships of Saudi Arabia and Qatar. If not for these Obama-trafficked guns, thousands of deaths would have been prevented and the Syrian conflict over.But even after the gun trafficking story broke, the mainstream media largely ignored it, and continued “reporting” that the U.S. has only been supplying the Syrian rebels with “non-lethal aid,” a meaningless term in a war setting, since all military aid directly assists in the business of killing.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #362f2d; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The U.S. media also buried the truth behind the ridiculous chemical weapons claims by the Obama administration, which, like Bush’s WMDs, are based on absolutely no evidence. Having learned nothing from Iraq, the U.S. media again shamelessly regurgitates the “facts” as spoon-fed to them by the government, no questions asked. In reality, however, <a href="http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2013/06/14/194016/chemical-weapons-experts-still.html#.UbyvDdiyESU" rel="nofollow" style="border: 0px; color: #3b4d81; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">a number of independent chemical weapons experts have publicly spoken out</a>against Obama’s accusations.The U.S. media also refuses to ask: on what authority does the United States have to determine the usage of chemical weapons in other countries? This is the job of the UN. What has the UN said on the matter?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #362f2d; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/syria/10039672/UN-accuses-Syrian-rebels-of-chemical-weapons-use.html" rel="nofollow" style="border: 0px; color: #3b4d81; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Top UN rights investigator Carla del Ponte said</a>:”According to the testimonies we have gathered, the [Syrian] rebels have used chemical weapons, making use of sarin gas.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
</div>
<div style="color: #362f2d; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Again, the “rebels” have used chemical weapons, not the Syrian government, according to the UN representative. Many analysts have pointed out the obvious fact that the Syrian government would have zero military or political motive to use chemical weapons, especially when they have access to much more effective conventional weapons. Obama’s Bush-like lies are too familiar to the American public, who overwhelmingly do not support military intervention in Syria, or giving direct military aide to the Syrian rebels.</span></div>

</span></span></span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #362f2d; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But like Bush, Obama is ignoring the UN, and there’s a logic to his madness. Obama has invested too much of his foreign policy credibility in Syria. His administration has been the backbone of the Syrian rebels from the beginning, having handpicked a group of rich Syrian exiles and molded them into Obama’s “officially recognized” government of Syria, while pressuring other nations to also recognize these nobodies as the “legitimate Syrian government.” Assad’s iron grip on power is a humiliation to these diplomatic efforts of Obama, and has thus weakened the prestige and power of U.S. foreign policy abroad.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #362f2d; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">More importantly, Obama’s anti-Syria diplomacy required that diplomatic relations between Syria and its neighbors — like Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey — be destroyed. These nations have peacefully co-existed for decades with Syria, but have now agreed — under immense U.S. pressure — to sever diplomatic relations while helping destroy the Syrian government by funneling guns and foreign fighters into the country, further destabilizing a region not yet recovered from the Iraq war. Obama’s Syria policy has turned an already-fragile region into a smoldering tinderbox.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #362f2d; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If Obama were to suddenly tell his anti-Syria coalition that he’s realized his efforts at regime change have failed and that he would instead pursue a peaceful solution, his allies and Middle East lackeys would be less willing in the future to prostitute themselves for the foreign policy of the United States; and the U.S. would thus find it more difficult in the future to pursue “regime change” politics abroad. If Obama doesn’t back up his “Assad must go” demand, the U.S. will be unable to make such threats in the future; and U.S. foreign policy is heavily dependent on this type of political bullying.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #362f2d; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Furthermore, Obama’s anti-Syria puppet coalition is taking tremendous political risks when it shamelessly follows in Obama’s footsteps, since the U.S. is terribly unpopular throughout the Arab world. This unpopularity is further proof that the “official” Syrian opposition that is asking for U.S. intervention has zero credibility in Syria, since very few Syrians would like to invite the U.S. military to “liberate” their country, especially after the “successful” liberations of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #362f2d; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Obama, too, is worried about domestic politics in his own country over Syria. He knows that Americans are sick of Middle East wars, while the American public is also worried that arming the Syrian rebels would mean giving guns to the very same people that America is supposedly fighting a “war on terror” against.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #362f2d; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In response to this concern Obama has said that the U.S. will only give arms to “moderate” rebels. <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/divided-europe-imperils-syrian-arms-embargo-8632376.html" rel="nofollow" style="border: 0px; color: #3b4d81; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">A European Union diplomat mockingly responded: </a><a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/divided-europe-imperils-syrian-arms-embargo-8632376.html" rel="nofollow" style="border: 0px; color: #3b4d81; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"> </a></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #362f2d; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“It would be the first conflict where we pretend we could create peace by delivering arms… If you pretend to know where the weapons will end up, then it would be the first war in history where this is possible. We have seen it in Bosnia, Afghanistan and Iraq. Weapons don’t disappear; they pop up where they are needed.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #362f2d; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In Syria U.S. weapons will thus end up in the hands of <a href="http://www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail/2013/05/daily-chart-12" rel="nofollow" style="border: 0px; color: #3b4d81; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">the extremists doing the majority of the fighting</a>. These are the people who will be in power if Syria’s government falls, unless a full U.S. invasion and Iraq-style occupation occurs. It’s difficult to decide which outcome would be worse for the Syrian people.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #362f2d; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It’s now obvious that President Obama is escalating the Syrian conflict because his prized rebels have been beaten on the battlefield. Obama has thus chosen the military tactic of brinksmanship, a risky strategy that involves intentionally escalating a conflict in the hopes that either your opponent gives in to your demands (regime change), or your opponent gives you an excuse to invade.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #362f2d; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here’s how former <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/18/opinion/to-get-a-truce-be-ready-to-escalate.html?_r=0" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1371638927687_2816" rel="nofollow" style="border: 0px; color: #3b4d81; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">U.S. General Wesley Clark explains Obama’s brinkmanship tactic in a New York Times op-ed</a>, which is worth quoting at length:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #362f2d; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“President Obama’s decision to supply small arms and ammunition to the rebels is a step, possibly just the first, toward direct American intervention. It raises risks for all parties, and especially for Mr. Assad, who knows that he cannot prevail, even with Russian and Iranian military aid, if the United States becomes fully engaged. We used a similar strategy against the Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic in Kosovo in 1999, where I commanded American forces, and showed that NATO had the resolve to escalate.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #362f2d; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“The risk of going beyond lethal aid to establishing a no-fly zone to keep Mr. Assad’s planes grounded or safe zones to protect refugees — options under consideration in Washington — is that we would find it hard to pull back if our side began losing. Given the rebels’ major recent setbacks, can we rule out using air power or sending in ground troops?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Yet the sum total of risks — higher oil prices, a widening war — also provide Syria (and its patrons, Iran and Russia) a motive to negotiate.” [emphasis added]</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #362f2d; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Clark’s innocent sounding “no-fly zone” is in fact a clever euphemism for all-out war, since no-fly zones require you destroy the enemy’s air force, surface to air missiles, and other infrastructure.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #362f2d; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In Libya Obama swiftly turned a no-fly zone into a full-scale invasion and regime change, in violation of international law. A no-fly zone in Syria would also immediately turn into an invasion and “regime change,” with the possibility that the U.S. or Israel would exploit the “fog of war” to attack Iran.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #362f2d; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">All of this madness could be stopped immediately if Obama publicly announced that the Syrian rebels have lost the war — since they have — and will be cut off politically, financially, and militarily by the U.S. if they do not immediately proceed to negotiations with the Syrian government. But this peaceful approach will instead be ignored in favor of untold thousands more dead, millions more made refugees, and a broader regional fracturing of Middle East civilization.</span></div>

They are also demanding the names of all medical volunteers including Emergency Medicine Technicians. This threat constitutes a violation of the human right of the protesters to receive treatment and the principle of medical neutrality.<br /><br />Since May 27, peaceful protesters have been occupying Gezi Park in Istanbul, Turkey. The park is the last green space within the city and it was set to be demolished to build another of many shopping centers. What started with a few protesters trying to save the park has escalated to a national uprising over many grievances and the formation of coalition groups, including 180 organizations that formed Taksim Solidarity, to represent the people in negotiations with the government.<br /><br />However, the response by Prime Minister Erdogan has been severe and violent. He threatens the protesters daily. Riot police have repeatedly stormed the park and attacked protesters. They’ve used water cannons, pepper spray and shot tear gas canisters into crowds. The protesters have stayed strong against these assaults, doing what they can to protect themselves with helmets and gas masks made from plastic bottles, but so far more than 5,000 protesters have been injured, some critically, and 4 protesters are dead.<br /><br />Medic tents were set up in Gezi Park, but these were not sufficient to handle the severely wounded protesters. Makeshift hospitals have been set up in hotel lobbies and during some of the most chaotic moments, protesters formed human chains to keep the streets open so that ambulances carrying the wounded could pass through.<br /><br />Prime Minister Erdogan continues to escalate his threats against the peaceful protesters. On Tuesday, lawyers went to Istanbul’s Caklayan Court to issue a statement denouncing the repression of protesters in Gezi Park. The police attacked the lawyers before they could fully assemble and scores of them were arrested. In response, thousands of lawyers took to the streets in solidarity.<br /><br />On Thursday, PM Erdogan called on parents with ‘children’ at the park to take their sons and daughters home. Instead, mothers of the protesters went to the park and formed a human barricade to protect them from the police.<br /><br />Witnessing the extreme violence against the protesters and the severity of their injuries, physicians and other health professionals started volunteering at the Park to administer treatment. But now they are the target of repression. The Health Ministry is demanding the names of all who delivered care to protesters. The physicians are faced with a dilemma: lose their medical licenses or honor their oath to treat all who are in need. The response by the physicians is to refuse to cooperate. They held a banner stating “You will receive not one patient, not one medical colleague.”<br /><br />Health professionals have the right by international law to treat those in need. According to Physicians for Human Rights, which documents abuses around the globe, the principle of medical neutrality states that:<br /><br />“Doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals are trained to treat those in need – regardless of politics, race, or religion. Attacks on health professionals violate the principle of medical neutrality and are grave breaches of international law.”<br /><br />Threats by the Health Ministry that will effectively force doctors and other caretakers to stop treating patients are a violation of this principle. Prime Minister Erdogan must stop the attacks on protesters and honor the duty that physicians and other health professionals have to care for those in need. The government has the responsibility to protect its citizens and respect their right to protest peacefully. Doctors who answer the call to provide services to those who are wounded, for whatever reason, should be encouraged and supported, not threatened. The Health Ministry must remove its threat.<br /><br />Take action: Call the Turkish Embassy and demand that the Turkish Government remove its threat to health professionals and stop interfering in the care of wounded protesters. The phone number for the Turkish Embassy in Washington, DC is 202-612-6700/6701. And the phone number for the Turkish Consulate in New York City is 646-430-6560/6590.</span></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The U.S. backed rebels are not participating in the talks because they have nothing to gain from them, and everything to lose.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In war, the purpose of peace negotiations is to copy the situation on the battlefield and paste it to a treaty: the army winning the war enters negotiations from a dominant position, since its position is enforceable on the ground.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The U.S.-backed rebels would be entering peace talks broken and beaten, having been debilitated on the battlefield. The Syrian army has had a string of victories, pushing the rebels back to the border areas where they are protected by U.S. allies Turkey, Jordan, and northern Lebanon. Peace talks would merely expose this reality and end the war on terms dictated by the Syrian government.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/09/world/middleeast/syria-opposition-wont-attend-talks-unless-rebels-get-armscommandersays.html?hp&_r=0" rel="nofollow" style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"> rebel leader was quoted in The New York Times</a> revealing this motive for the rebel’s abandonment of peace talks:</span></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 1.1em; margin: 0px 3em; padding: 0px; quotes: none; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“What can we [rebels] ask for when we go very weak to Geneva [for peace talks]?… The Russians and the Iranians and the representatives of the [Syrian] regime will say: ‘You don’t have any power. We are controlling everything. What you are coming to ask for?’”</span></div>
</blockquote>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is the reality as it exists in Syria, and realistic peace talks would recognize the situation in Syria and end the conflict immediately.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But first the rebel’s supporters — the United States and its lackeys Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar — must acknowledge this reality and demand that the rebels forge ahead with peace talks, on threat of being cut off politically, financially, and militarily.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If this happens, war is over.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But if the war ended tomorrow, Syrian President Bashar Assad, would still be in power, and President Obama has said repeatedly, “Assad must go.” Obama would be further humiliated by his Syria policy if he had to again recognize Assad as president after spending a year recognizing a group of rich Syrian exiles as “the legitimate government of Syria” and after his administration repeatedly announced that the Assad regime had ended over a year ago.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">More importantly, if Assad stayed in power, U.S. foreign policy would appear weak internationally, which is one main reason that the U.S. political establishment wants to go “all in” for regime change in Syria: super powers must back up their threats, since otherwise other nations might choose to challenge the United States.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is the real reason peace talks will not be held. The U.S. and its European allies want regime change in Syria, and they are prepared to allow many more people to die to make it so. This was made clear by the Obama administration. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/11/world/middleeast/as-rebels-lose-ground-in-syria-us-mulls-options.html?hp&_r=0" rel="nofollow" style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">The New York Times reports</a>:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“[Syrian] President Bashar al-Assad’s gains on the battlefield have called the United States’ strategy on Syria into question, prompting the Obama administration to again consider military options, including arming the rebels and conducting airstrikes to protect civilians and the Syrian opposition, administration officials said on Monday.”</span></div>
</blockquote>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The above quote mentions “conducting airstrikes to protect civilians.” This is the infamous language of the UN resolution that allowed U.S.-NATO to intervene in Libya; but Obama immediately overstepped “protecting civilians” and quickly jumped into “regime change,” a gross violation of international law and a Bush-like war crime.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The UN — though especially China and Russia — have learned from the Libya example and will doubtfully ever again approve of a “protect civilian” UN resolution. If the U.S. intervenes in Syria, it will do so with a Bush-style “coalition of the willing,” i.e. U.S. allies.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Obama’s dream of having a post-Assad Syria is further complicated by the fact that <a href="http://www.worldtribune.com/2013/05/31/nato-data-assad-winning-the-war-for-syrians-hearts-and-minds/" rel="nofollow" style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Assad is apparently more popular than he has ever been.</a></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Many Syrians that didn’t previously support Assad now do, having concluded that Assad in power is better than their country being obliterated in an Iraq-style invasion, or being dominated by Islamic extremists, as <a href="http://www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail/2013/05/daily-chart-12" rel="nofollow" style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">the majority of the Syrian rebel groups are</a>.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Further helping Assad’s popularity is that Israel has bombed Syria recently on multiple occasions, while Syrians watch the unpopular <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/25/world/middleeast/arms-airlift-to-syrian-rebels-expands-with-cia-aid.html?hp&_r=2&" rel="nofollow" style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">United States funnels massive amounts of weapons to the rebels</a>. As a result, Assad can now successfully portray himself as a defender of Syria’s sovereignty against foreign aggression.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But, Obama will not be deterred. After it became clear that the rebels were losing the war, the U.S. and its European allies removed the remaining legal barriers to further arming the rebels, while the religious leaders of Saudi Arabia and Qatar — both U.S. allies — <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/top-saudi-cleric-endorses-anti-hezbollah-stance-160811547.html" rel="nofollow" style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">assisted in the war effort by calling for Jihad</a> against the Syrian government (the <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/al-qaeda-leader-zawahri-urges-syrians-unite-against-114313888.html" rel="nofollow" style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">same week the leader of al-Qaeda did</a>).</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Behind this frenzy of rebel support lies the sick logic that, in order for successful peace negotiations to take place, the rebels need to be in a stronger battlefield position. Arm the rebels to the teeth for peace!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In response to this twisted logic, Oxfam International — a disaster relief coalition — <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/may/22/syria-arms-embargo-rebels?guni=Network%20front:network-front%20main-3%20Main%20trailblock:Network%20front%20-%20main%20trailblock:Position5" rel="nofollow" style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">responded by saying</a>:</span></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 1.1em; margin: 0px 3em; padding: 0px; quotes: none; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Sending arms to the Syrian opposition won’t create a level playing field. Instead, it risks further fueling an arms free-for-all where the victims are the civilians of Syria. Our experience from other conflict zones tells us that this crisis will only drag on for far longer if more and more arms are poured into the country.”</span></div>
</blockquote>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ultimately, the Syrian rebels would have already been defeated — and thousands of lives spared — if they had not been receiving support from the U.S. and other countries. The U.S.-backed rebels have said that a pre-condition for peace is “Assad must go;” but this demand does not coincide with the reality on the ground: the rebels are in no position to demand this, and the U.S. is using this unrealistic demand to artificially lengthen an already-bloody war.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Obama can either use his immense influence to end this bloody conflict now by withdrawing support to the rebels, or he can extend the conflict and further tear to shreds the social fabric of the Middle East, while risking a multi-nation war that history will denounce as an easily preventable holocaust.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; line-height: 14px;"><b><u><br /></u></b>As Syria has done more than simply “hold on,” Russia has become emboldened. In his recent Press TV article, Jim W. Dean outlines the “game changing aspect” of the re-emergence of Russia as a naval power in the Eastern Mediterranean.<br /><br />What is important is that America has “taken its eye off the ball.” America’s hyper-focus on Iran and the Persian Gulf has led to a drawdown of American capabilities in the Mediterranean, once considered “an American lake.”<br /><br />America has pulled back from the Mediterranean, chasing oil and power, chasing globalist dreams in the Indian Ocean. Its bases, Crete, the proposed fueling depot at Port Said, the secret airbase outside Mogadishu, all abandoned.<br /><br />The “neocon nightmare,” Israel as America’s “aircraft carrier” in the Middle East, or America’s “junk-yard dog,” is a policy the Obama administration now openly admits is an utter failure. That policy allowed “the tail,” Israel, to “wag the dog,” the United States, pushing America into wars intent on empowering the Likudists as rulers of that “greater Israel” they dream of.<br /><br />“Greater Israel” would be paid for by three trillion US taxpayer dollars and thousands of American lives lost, hundreds of thousands damaged and a world facing economic ruin and world war.<br /><br /><b><u>AMERICAN COLLAPSE</u></b><br /><br />The dream of “Greater Israel,” allowing “the tail” to “wag the dog,” has been fostered by a multi-faceted attack on every aspect of America. America has been “propagandized” into self-hatred, class warfare and sectarian strife.<br /><br />America has been inundated with cultural meltdown, rampant unemployment, poverty, and broad acceptance of totalitarianism and injustice as a requirement for security.<br /><br />The American people are now continually reminded of the threat through carefully orchestrated false flag terror attacks, now so blatant that none can miss the intended message.<br /><br /><b><u>FICTION IS REALITY</u></b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; line-height: 14px;"><b><u><br /></u></b>Last week, America’s most popular TV drama, NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) revealed a “fictional” criminal conspiracy against the United States.<br /><br />This show, seen around the world, has long featured plot lines involving Iranian terrorist and has been broadly supportive of Israel.<br /><br />It now claims, fictionally of course, that the hostilities between Israel and Iran and even with North Korea are orchestrated by the CIA through false flag terrorism and assassinations.<br /><br />It says that America’s aggressive actions overseas are meant to deceive its people about a more serious threat, one originating from inside the United States.<br /><br />Before the Boston or Sandy Hook attacks, no television show would have been allowed to follow even a fictional story line like this. The show, Rubicon, tried it and was quickly cancelled.<br /><br />American intelligence officials, in private, have expressed shock at what they see as “pre-conditioning” of the public to accept the CIA as an organization involved in domestic terrorism.<br /><br /><u><b>VACUUM</b></u><br /><br />The timing of events in Syria has been a particular disaster for the United States. Through “sequestration,” the governments imposed austerity measures, military forces in the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean have been scaled back as have other operations including intelligence gathering.<br /><br />What America failed to see was the vacuum it created. “Nature abhors a vacuum.”<br /><br />As America withdrew, albeit quietly, Russia reasserted its position in the Middle East, most obviously in defense of its longtime ally, Syria.<br /><br />Russia has also, “albeit quietly,” made inroads into the Caucasus, the Caspian Basin and has become more aligned with Iran.<br /><br />Frightening, to America at least, China is following Russia’s lead. Additionally, China is expanding economic moves throughout the region, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran and throughout Africa.<br /><br />With that, China’s political influence has also increased dramatically, of particular importance as Africa moves toward a cascade of terrorism, insurgency and civil wars.<br /><br /><b><u>THE DEATH OF THE “FALSE FLAG”</u></b><br /><br />When Syria’s only visible friend was Iran, Israel’s “two stage approach,” pushing the United States into a military confrontation with Iran, most likely through a large-scale false flag attack, had a chance for success.<br /><br />However, in today’s world, any terror attack is now examined with more sophistication and far more cynicism. Few are doltish enough to imagine that international terrorist groups, increasingly shown to be controlled by intelligence agencies, could operate without full complicity of powerful factions within the “victim” nations themselves.<br /><br />Any “Iranian outrage” would quickly be traced back to Tel Aviv.<br /><br /><b><u>LEBANON AND SYRIA</u></b><br /><br />New Russian weapons combined with enhanced capabilities for Hezbollah forces, have changed the balance of power.<br /><br /><br />Israel has spent decades, not to speak of over a billion US taxpayer dollars, fortifying the Golan Heights. It is now being used as a base of operations, both Golan and the “compromised” Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, as a base of operations for Israel’s attacks on Syria.<br /><br />As few now doubt the nuclear attack of May 4, 2013, even fewer doubt Israel’s forays into Syria, armor and mobile artillery, in support of rebel forces now increasingly mercenaries, terrorists and criminal elements.<br /><br />Conversely, with Hezbollah holding Syria’s flank, well supplied with, not only advanced anti-armor weapons but newly upgraded shoulder launched air defense systems as well, Israel’s ability to operate against Syria from Lebanon will end.<br /><br /><b><u>FORTRESS GOLAN AT RISK</u></b><br /><br />Israel continually talks of the threat to Tel Aviv posed by Syrian missile systems. However, the Russian Iskander system places a price tag on Israel’s actions that Israel may not be willing to pay.<br /><br />The Iskandar can not only take out Patriot III batteries but can quickly cripple Israel’s armored forces and fortification on the Golan Heights.<br /><br />The Iskandar is powerful, extremely accurate and impossible to stop.<br /><br />Iskandar batteries, protected by S 300 air defense systems, successfully counter Israel’s air defenses and leave both armor and fortification totally vulnerable,<br /><br />The most important aspect, of course, is that these are purely defensive systems.<br /><br /><b><u>POLITICAL CONCERNS</u></b><br /><br />It is increasingly obvious that a political settlement in Syria is going to be needed. Were it not for the interference of Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Israel, and the plotting of the NATO powers, such a settlement conference would be underway.<br /><br />Too many have died and each death benefits only: Turkey, Israel, Saudi Arabia and NATO.<br /><br />What is broadly recognized is this fact; the rebel forces as they are currently configured, were they to triumph, would lead Syria into a decade of civil war, one where the current body-count, be it 50,000 or 100,000 would seem insignificant.<br /><br />One might also ask why Israel, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and their friends would back forces closely aligned with terrorism and extremism.<br /><br /><b><u>DOMINO EFFECT</u></b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; line-height: 14px;"><b><u><br /></u></b>There is little doubt that a globalist agenda is behind the war on Syria. This is only a stage in a broader war on Iran, followed by subjugation of Afghanistan (good luck with that) and a forced collapse of Pakistan.<br /><br />The rationale, of course, involves oil and gas. As the planet has proven to be awash with oil and gas reserves, enough for centuries, particularly if alternative energy technologies continue to be suppressed, only total control of supply, delivery and active and criminal manipulation of market pricing structures can offer an adequate return.<br /><br />Control of world currencies, the Federal Reserve System in the US, the failed financial system of the European Union and the IMF are required.<br /><br />The methodologies, each representing an attack on the citizenry of the world, driven by outmoded Malthusianistic principles, are intended to deprive billions of basic human needs and, of course, any human rights as well.<br /><br />It may all be turned around in Syria if the world finally awakens to the real threat.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2013/05/22/304761/syrias-failure-to-lose/" rel="nofollow nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://www.presstv.ir/<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>detail/2013/05/22/304761/<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>syrias-failure-to-lose/</a></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Bashar al-Assad has recently been demonized by the mainstream and so-called alternative media who claim that he is a brutal dictator. Actually Bashar is a reformer who has done much to further the causes of democracy and freedom. It is the opposition and their foreign supporters who represent the most repressive elements of the former ruling party in Syria. To fully understand this its is helpful to look at the historical context of the current crisis. The so-called “spontaneous popular uprising” started in Daraa on March 15<sup style="border: 0px; bottom: 1ex; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; height: 0px; line-height: 1; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;">th</sup>, 2011. The court house, police stations, governor’s house, and other public buildings were looted and torched by the “peaceful protestors” in the first week of the crisis. The people in Homs then began to protest in solidarity with Daraa, but this was uncharacteristic of peaceful Homs and many Syrians knew that it was a fake revolution.</span></div>
<br>
<article style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #362f2d; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">About 110 unarmed police officers were murdered in Daraa and Homs, sparking anger against the “revolutionaries.” There was an incident in the city Baniyas where an Alawite truck driver was attacked by an armed mob, skinned, and paraded through the city. This disgusted almost all Syrians and since then not a single major city actually rebelled against the government. The foreign backed “revolutionaries” would attack a neighborhood, police station, or army base, from across the borders of Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, and Iraq. Then they would claim that the city was in rebellion.But the Syrians, seeing the same lies in all the western and Arab news stations, and the exiled rotten officials adopting the ‘revolution’, mostly took an anti-revolution stance. That is why whenever the rebels would infest a town or city you would immediately hear of a massacre to punish the residents for not supporting them. Of course the mainstream media would claim that it was Assad forces punishing the town that dared to oppose him!Assad took advantage of the revolution to introduce his packages of reforms, putting aside those in the old guards who opposed them. Many of the old guard then joined the opposition abroad.</span><br>

The New York Times in their article titled, "</span><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/25/world/middleeast/arms-airlift-to-syrian-rebels-expands-with-cia-aid.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0" style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: blue;">Arms Airlift to Syria Rebels Expands, With C.I.A. Aid</span></a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">," admits that: </span></span><br>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With help from the C.I.A., Arab governments and Turkey have sharply increased their military aid to Syria’s opposition fighters in recent months, expanding a secret airlift of arms and equipment for the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad, according to air traffic data, interviews with officials in several countries and the accounts of rebel commanders.<br><br>The airlift, which began on a small scale in early 2012 and continued intermittently through last fall, expanded into a steady and much heavier flow late last year, the data shows. It has grown to include more than 160 military cargo flights by Jordanian, Saudi and Qatari military-style cargo planes landing at Esenboga Airport near Ankara, and, to a lesser degree, at other Turkish and Jordanian airports.</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">The New York Times piece attempts to spin America's role in arming militants in Syria. The Times continues by stating: </span></span><br>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>The American government became involved, the former American official said, in part because there was a sense that other states would arm the rebels anyhow. The C.I.A. role in facilitating the shipments, he said, gave the United States a degree of influence over the process, including trying to steer weapons away from Islamist groups and persuading donors to withhold portable antiaircraft missiles that might be used in future terrorist attacks on civilian aircraft.</i></span><br>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 16.796875px; text-align: justify;">The death of the Commander President Hugo Chavez Frias this Tuesday, March 5, causes immense pain and consternation among the Venezuelan people, in all Latin American peoples and legions of fans, he won followers, friends and allies with his inner strength, his charisma, his talent and energy for the Bolivarian Revolution and the cause of national liberation and social development of the people.</span><br style="line-height: 16.796875px; text-align: justify;"><br style="line-height: 16.796875px; text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 16.796875px; text-align: justify;">Hugo Chávez goes down in history as one of the greatest figures ever born on Latin American soil. Alongside Fidel Castro, Commander of the Cuban Revolution, he was the main leader of the anti-imperialist current times, Keeper of confidence of the peoples of "Our America," as José Martí would say.</span><br style="line-height: 16.796875px; text-align: justify;"><br style="line-height: 16.796875px; text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 16.796875px; text-align: justify;">He was effectively a giant. Chavez led a major political movement, which, as new, is still in the bud. With the strength of his ideas and his transformative edifying example of revolutionary leader and statesman, this movement tends to consolidate and perpetuate as the major trend of our time. The political movement directed by and starring Chavez is the essence of anti-imperialism, which is the very spirit of our time, the brand of tenacious resistance of the peoples against the international neocolonialist offensive potentates under the aegis of U.S. imperialism.</span><br style="line-height: 16.796875px; text-align: justify;"><br style="line-height: 16.796875px; text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 16.796875px; text-align: justify;">Another indelible imprint of his thought and work is popular democracy, participatory, permanent mobilization of the people, a weapon of victory in any battle against the enemies that appear to be more powerful.</span></span><br>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b style="line-height: 21px;">February 18, 2013</b><span style="line-height: 21px;"> - Quetta, the capital of Pakistan's southwest Baluchistan province, bordering both US-occupied Afghanistan as well as Iran, was the site of a grisly market bombing that has killed over 80 people. </span><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/feb/17/pakistan-rulers-quetta-bombing" style="line-height: 21px; text-decoration: initial;">According to reports</a><span style="line-height: 21px;">, the terrorist group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi has claimed responsibility for the attack. Billed as a "Sunni extremist group," it instead fits the pattern of global terrorism sponsored by the US, Israel, and their Arab partners Saudi Arabia and Qatar.</span><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><span style="line-height: 21px;">The terrorist Lashkar-e-Jhangvi group was in fact created, </span><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-20982987" style="line-height: 21px; text-decoration: initial;">according to the BBC</a><span style="line-height: 21px;">, to counter Iran's Islamic Revolution in the 1980's, and is still active today. Considering </span><a href="http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2012/05/syrian-war-prequel.html" style="line-height: 21px; text-decoration: initial;">the openly admitted US-Israeli-Saudi plot</a><span style="line-height: 21px;"> to use Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups across the Middle East to counter Iran's influence, it begs the question whether these same interests are funding terrorism in Pakistan to not only counter Iranian-sympathetic Pakistani communities, but to undermine and destabilize Pakistan itself.</span><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><b style="line-height: 21px;"><u>The US-Saudi Global Terror Network </u></b><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><span style="line-height: 21px;">While the United States </span><a href="http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2012/08/introducing-gulf-state-despots-10-facts.html" style="line-height: 21px; text-decoration: initial;">is close allies with Saudi Arabia</a><span style="line-height: 21px;"> and </span><a href="http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2013/01/israeli-attack-desperate-bid-to-save.html" style="line-height: 21px; text-decoration: initial;">Qatar</a><span style="line-height: 21px;">, it is well established that the chief financier of extremist militant groups for the past 3 decades, including Al Qaeda, are in fact Saudi Arabia and Qatar. While Qatari state-owned propaganda like Al Jazeera apply a veneer of progressive pro-democracy to its narratives, Qatar itself is involved in arming, funding, and even providing direct military support for sectarian extremists from northern Mali, to Libya, to Syria and beyond. </span><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7197375322551540850" name="more" style="line-height: 21px;"></a><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><span style="line-height: 21px;">France 24's report "</span><a href="http://www.france24.com/en/20130121-qatar-mali-france-ansar-dine-mnla-al-qaeda-sunni-islam-doha" style="line-height: 21px; text-decoration: initial;">Is Qatar fuelling the crisis in north Mali?</a><span style="line-height: 21px;">" provides a useful vignette of Saudi-Qatari terror sponsorship, stating:</span></span></span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="line-height: 21px;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“The MNLA [secular Tuareg separatists], al Qaeda-linked Ansar Dine and MUJAO [movement for unity and Jihad in West Africa] have all received cash from Doha.”<br /><br />"A month later Sadou Diallo, the mayor of the north Malian city of Gao [which had fallen to the Islamists] told RTL radio: “The French government knows perfectly well who is supporting these terrorists. Qatar, for example, continues to send so-called aid and food every day to the airports of Gao and Timbuktu.”</span></span></blockquote>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">The report also stated: </span></span></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="line-height: 21px;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Qatar has an established a network of institutions it funds in Mali, including madrassas, schools and charities that it has been funding from the 1980s,” he wrote, adding that Qatar would be expecting a return on this investment.<br /><br />“Mali has huge oil and gas potential and it needs help developing its infrastructure,” he said. “Qatar is well placed to help, and could also, on the back of good relations with an Islamist-ruled north Mali, exploit rich gold and uranium deposits in the country.”</span></span></blockquote>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">These institutions are present not only in Mali, but around the world, and provide a nearly inexhaustible supply of militants for both the Persian Gulf monarchies and their Western allies to use both as a perpetual casus belli to invade and occupy foreign nations such as Mali and Afghanistan, as well as a sizable, persistent mercenary force, as seen in Libya and Syria. Such institutions jointly run by Western intelligence agencies across Europe and in America, fuel domestic fear-mongering and the resulting security state that allows Western governments to more closely control their populations as they pursue reckless, unpopular policies at home and abroad. </span><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><span style="line-height: 21px;">Since Saudi-Qatari geopolitical interests are entwined with Anglo-American interests, both the "investment" and "return on this investment" are clearly part of a joint venture. France's involvement in Mali has demonstrably failed to curb such extremists, has instead, predictably left the nation occupied by Western interests </span><a href="http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2013/01/by-design-french-mali-invasion-spills.html" style="line-height: 21px; text-decoration: initial;">while driving terrorists further north into the real target, Algeria</a><span style="line-height: 21px;">.</span><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><span style="line-height: 21px;">Additionally, it should be noted, that </span><a href="http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2011/06/global-hypocrisy-france-arming-libyan.html" style="line-height: 21px; text-decoration: initial;">France in particular, played a leading role</a><span style="line-height: 21px;"> along side Qatar and Saudi Arabia in handing Libya over to these very same extremists. French politicians were in Benghazi shaking hands with militants they would be "fighting" in the near future in northern Mali.</span><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><b style="line-height: 21px;"><u>Lashkar-e-Jhangvi is Part of US-Saudi Terror Network </u></b><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><span style="line-height: 21px;">In terms of Pakistan's Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, as well as the infamous Lashkar-e-Taiba that carried out the 2008 Mumbai, India attack killing over 160, both are affiliates of Al Qaeda, and both have been linked financially, directly to Saudi Arabia. In the Guardian's article, "</span><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/dec/05/wikileaks-cables-saudi-terrorist-funding" style="line-height: 21px; text-decoration: initial;">WikiLeaks cables portray Saudi Arabia as a cash machine for terrorists</a><span style="line-height: 21px;">," the US State Department even acknowledges that Saudi Arabia is indeed funding terrorism in Pakistan: </span></span></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="line-height: 21px;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"Saudi Arabia is the world's largest source of funds for Islamist militant groups such as the Afghan Taliban and Lashkar-e-Taiba – but the Saudi government is reluctant to stem the flow of money, according to Hillary Clinton."<br /><br />"More needs to be done since Saudi Arabia remains a critical financial support base for al-Qaida, the Taliban, LeT and other terrorist groups," says a secret December 2009 paper signed by the US secretary of state. Her memo urged US diplomats to redouble their efforts to stop Gulf money reaching extremists in Pakistan and Afghanistan."<br /><br />"Donors in Saudi Arabia constitute the most significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide," she said.<br /><br />Three other Arab countries are listed as sources of militant money: Qatar, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.</span></span></blockquote>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">Lashkar-e-Jhangvi has also been financially linked to the Persian Gulf monarchies. Stanford University's "</span><a href="http://www.stanford.edu/group/mappingmilitants/cgi-bin/groups/view/215" style="line-height: 21px; text-decoration: initial;">Mapping Militant Organizations: Lashkar-e-Jhangvi</a><span style="line-height: 21px;">," states under "External Influences:" </span></span></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="line-height: 21px;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"LeJ has received money from several Persian Gulf countries including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates[25] These countries funded LeJ and other Sunni militant groups primarily to counter the rising influence of Iran's revolutionary Shiism." </span></span></blockquote>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">Astonishingly, despite these admission, the US works politically, financially, economically, and even militarily in tandem with these very same state-sponsors of rampant, global terrorism. In Libya and Syria, the US has even assisted in the funding and arming of Al Qaeda and affiliated terrorist groups, and had conspired with Saudi Arabia </span><a href="http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/03/05/070305fa_fact_hersh" style="line-height: 21px; text-decoration: initial;">since at least 2007</a><span style="line-height: 21px;"> to overthrow both Syria and Iran with these terrorist groups. And while Saudi Arabia funds terrorism in Pakistan, the US is well documented to be funding political subversion in the very areas where the most heinous attacks are being carried out.</span><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><b style="line-height: 21px;"><u>US Political Subversion in Baluchistan, Pakistan</u></b><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><a href="http://www.ned.org/where-we-work/asia/pakistan" style="line-height: 21px; text-decoration: initial;">The US State Department's National Endowment for Democracy (NED) has been directly funding</a><span style="line-height: 21px;"> and supporting the work of the "Balochistan Institute for Development" (BIFD) </span><a href="http://bifd.weebly.com/bifd.html" style="line-height: 21px; text-decoration: initial;">which claims to be</a><span style="line-height: 21px;"> "</span><span style="line-height: 21px;">the leading resource on democracy, development and human rights in Balochistan, Pakistan."

<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="line-height: 20px !important;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Pakistan has given China a base at Gwadar in the heart of Baluch territory.

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px !important;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">Harrison would follow up his frank call to carve up Pakistan by addressing the issue of Chinese-Pakistani relations in a March 2011 piece titled, “</span><a href="http://nationalinterest.org/commentary/chinese-cozy-up-pakistanis-5027" style="line-height: 21px; text-decoration: initial;">The Chinese Cozy Up to the Pakistanis</a><span style="line-height: 21px;">.” He states: </span></span></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="line-height: 20px !important;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“China’s expanding reach is a natural and acceptable accompaniment of its growing power—but only up to a point. ” </span></span></blockquote>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px !important;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">He continues: </span></span></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="line-height: 20px !important;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“To counter what China is doing in Pakistan, the United States should play hardball by supporting the movement for an independent Baluchistan along the Arabian Sea and working with Baluch insurgents to oust the Chinese from their budding naval base at Gwadar.

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Mass protests are sweeping across Libya as the country marks the second anniversary of the beginning of a civil war that ousted Muammar Gaddafi. Two years after the fall of the Gaddafi regime, no new constitution has been drafted.</span><br />
<div class="doc_text" style="background-color: white; margin: 10px 0px 20px;">
<div class="text">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The new authorities have obviously failed to maintain law and order. Crime is rampaging and popular discontent is on the rise. Prime Minister Ali Zeidan has shut the borders with neighboring Egypt and Tunisia from February 14 to 18 as a security precaution.</span></div>
<div class="text">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="text">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Though the anti-Gaddafi revolt erupted on February 17, the main celebrations will take place on the 15th . Airport security is being tightened. Meanwhile, Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines have suspended all flights to Libya until the 17th, citing “tensions on the grounds”. Earlier, Germany, France, Canada and other countries urged their citizens to immediately leave Benghazi over the imminent threat of terrorist attacks. Security is being tightened in the capital Tripoli and also in Benghazi where four U.S. diplomats were killed in a bloody raid on the U.S. consulate last September.</span></div>
<div class="text">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="text">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With anarchy and marauding flourishing in border areas where once strict law and order reigned under Gaddafi, most Libyans, particularly in the east, have been outraged by the authorities’ inaction. In addition to local extremists and “adventure seekers”, terrorists of all sorts, including groups of jihadists from Mali, have been pouring in. The “democracy” the West had once been so fervent in forcing upon Libya looks more like a medieval rule, says Director of the Cairo-based Java Center for Political Studies Rifaat Sayed Ahmad.</span></div>
<div class="text">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="text">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"NATO air strikes threw the once prospering country by African standards back into the Middle Ages, and still worse, they plunged it into a civil war. The West used military force to install an obedient yet unpopular regime unable to deal with the religious and tribal feud that is tearing the country apart. Libyan oil and gas – that was the main target of NATO’s military intervention in the name of the noble goal of freeing ordinary Libyans from Colonel Gaddafi’s dictatorship, as one French TV program put it."</span></div>
<div class="text">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="text">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The unhappy outcome is hardly a surprise and had been foreseen by analysts even before the intervention began, says Russian political scientist Stanislav Tarasov.</span></div>
<div class="text">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="text">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"Not just Russian analysts but Western ones as well made such forecasts. Libya is fragmented and may, in prospect, split into two or even three states. Some territories ruled by certain tribal clans have set up their own borders. In this situation, attempts by the so-called central government to adopt an all-Libyan law, a constitution accepted by all, appear to be doomed. The West which initiated the “Arab spring” in Libya can offer nothing except the use of force."</span></div>
<div class="text">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="text">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">No immediate improvements should be expected though. Boris Dolgov, a senior researcher at the Center for Arabic Studies in Moscow, notes that Libya is a long way from stabilization. It is actually the hotbed of instability for the entire North Africa.</span></div>
<div class="text">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="text">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"We are witnessing a spread of radical Islamism, as in the case of Mali and Algeria. The events in Mali and Libya are closely intertwined. Gaddafi waged a war on radical extremism and kept the situation under control. More than 600 Islamists were in jails. After the fall of Gaddafi, they walked free and joined radical groups, including those operating in Mali."</span></div>
<div class="text">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Libya today is “a territory of absolute lawlessness”, as some Arab analysts call it, or rather it’s a powder keg to which a blazing torch has already been brought.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When the violence involved in the Syrian revolution first came to exposure, it attracted much attention from around the world. Media networks such as Aljazeera, Alarabiya, CNN, and BBC all drew a scenario in which a power-lusting dictator was deliberately massacring peaceful protesters in order to remain in power. The Syrian government, however, rejected this story and offered another scenario regarding the undeniable violence that was occurring in the country. According to the Syrian president, Bashar Al Assad, and other government representatives, the horrific violence that was taking place in Syria was carried out by “terrorist gangs” , many of whom were Islamic extremists that opposed the Syrian government for its secularity and that aimed to create an Islamic Sharia led government. The Syrian government also proposed that the West, especially nations such as the United States, was particularly involved in backing the extremist rebels up because it too had a political interest in ousting the Syrian government.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">All of the claims made by the Syrian government were not backed up by any evidence. They were simply “theories”, and more specifically “conspiracy theories”; at least that is what most people who rejected these ideas referred to them as. Most people who supported the Syrian government’s direction of thought were mocked to be “conspiracy theorists” or “Assad apologists”. Their arguments were dismissed as irrational and impossible.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In recent days, however, more and more evidence has compiled to reveal a truth that is quite ironic. In fact, the evidence is so strong that it is actually no longer deniable. At this point, the FSA does indeed fit all of the descriptions the Syrian government had given it. This is fully recognized by everyone, especially the Syrian people.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">First of all, the FSA is indeed composed of mostly radical sectarian individuals who consider their fight to be a form of jihad for the sake of Islam. Many of these fighters are not even Syrian, they are mercenaries who have entered Syria through the Turkish border. A lot of them are with Al Qaeda, in fact the leader of Al Qaeda, Ayman Zawahiri, is an outspoken supporter of the Syrian Revolution and has made public invitations for jihadists all over the globe to join the FSA. And they have indeed been found on Syrian lands (See <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/10/27/us-qaeda-zawahri-message-idUSBRE89Q02O20121027" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial; vertical-align: baseline;">Al Qaeda leader, Ayman Zawahiri, calls upon jihadists all over the world to join the FSA in Syria</a>)</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Major General Manaf Tlas had some real Syrian military <i>bona fides</i>: son of Syria's longest-serving Defense Minister, Lt. Gen. Mustafa Tlas, he acquitted himself in true Mr. Bean fashion when he managed to completely give away an entire Syrian mountain resort to the Fake Syrian Army. Oh, he didn't have time for warfare, what with smoking cigars, drinking fine cognacs and posing for fashion magazines. No. He made a deal with the terrorists which essentially gave them control of the mountain town of<i> Zabadani</i> as long as they promised not to "parade around" with their military hardware or poke fun at him. </span></span></div>

What the BBC didn't tell anybody was that the great general was so close to President Assad that he had to ask the guards around his house to let him walk his pet Saluki dog around the block.

Hussein Harmoush, self-declared rebel leader, Commander of the Faithful, World-Swallowing Conqueror, Caliph of Krakatoa, Blithering Idiot, Al-As'ad made his bones staying out of Turkey's many mental institutions. For a very short time, he was the world's face of the Fake Syrian Army - often basking in the glow of NATO approbation, surrounded by comely female journalists who declared him "leader of the revolution", "satrap of clap traps", and the like.<br /><br />Today, it is reported he is clinically depressed due to his unceremonious discharge from the rank of "Generalissimo". He has been rejected for landed immigrant status in Canada. Even the Australians won't talk to him. He is Colonel Nobody.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">According to unconfirmed reports, the former Prime Minister of Syria is waiting tables in Naples, Italy, at a bistro called "Luigi's" just a wind-draft down from the putrid sulfuric lava pools of Mt. Vesuvius. Declared by the BBC, again (yawn), as "the highest ranking member of the Syrian government to defect....a certain blow to the legitimacy of President Assad..." (yawn), the BBC, anxious to collect as much venom as possible to please its Qatari child-molesting patrons, even suggested that his "reputation for honesty" was respected by the opposition and that he was a shoe-in for high status with the new (and dreamt-about) government which would lead Syria after Dr. Assad's downfall. </span></span></div>

When the BBC got a hold of this, it started to compete with the New York Times over who could make this sow's ear into a silk purse. To this day, despite the hoopla, most Syrians don't know who he is.<br />In fact, one Syrian restaurant owner I spoke to a few days ago sheepishly suggested he was Latakia's championship boxing manager. No! He is Abdo Husameddine.<br /><br />Also, tarted up in the outer garments of integrity and "honesty" by a BBC rivened with a newly-discovered legacy of child molestation, he graced television screens for about 4 hours after which he sank like a bag of marbles in my aunt's rear cesspool in Beirut. Today, he carefully skulks around the streets of Apaydin fearing the vengeance of the Syrian security services - the same agencies who have to be reminded of who Abdo Husameddine really was. </span></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #393939; line-height: 20px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 25px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The second half of the twentieth century was marked by the emergence of a fundamentally new weapon - information. Accordingly, a new kind of war came about - the information war. And if before the birth of the Internet, waging an information war was limited by the access to the media, then, with the appearance of a worldwide network of satellite television, all the natural boundaries between the "information areas" disappeared.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #393939; line-height: 20px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 25px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"The opposing armies" got the opportunity to invade other people's land and conduct combat operations, in fact as well as the "conventional troops" do it in "conventional wars".</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #393939; line-height: 20px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 25px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">From the position of large-scale information war, also the creation by Emir of Qatar of the channel Al-Jazeera should be considered. It is significant that in 1995, i.e. one year before the first transmission of the channel, an information war specialist Libiki Martin from the U.S. National Defense Institute predicted a sharp increase in the role of international TV channels in the launching and deterring wars. Al-Jazeera as an instrument of information warfare, not only covers the events, but also intentionally distort them to manipulate public opinion.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #393939; line-height: 20px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 25px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today it is an open secret that in the avant-garde of the information war against the government of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, the Qatari channel Al-Jazeera holds a leading position. It began to set the plot of "Syrian revolt" and direct it in the right direction. Aside from that, the channel is funded at the expense of the Emir Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani and the Prime Minister bin Jassim and serves as an ideological cover and mobilization for Islamist militants in Qatar, carried out by the Chairman of the World Council of Islamic theologians, a former head of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Yusuf al-Qaradawi. Qaradawi is also known for his active support of the Chechen terrorists.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #393939; line-height: 20px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 25px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

His interest in the overthrow of the Assad government also has the economic reason.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #393939; line-height: 20px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 25px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Qatar's gas industry opposes the interests of the Russian Gazprom in Europe. Qatar has already declared the price war to Gazprom, all the more so the latter does not depend on the gas transit countries. Qatar Gas' fleet consists of 54 special vessels ? Q-max gas carriers of South Korean manufacture, capable of carrying 270,000 tonnes of liquefied natural gas, and Q-flex with capacity of 166,000 tonnes. Despite such capacities, to capture the European gas market, Qatar needs to have, at least, a pipeline to the Mediterranean Sea, and at most, through Turkey and further to Europe.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #393939; line-height: 20px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 25px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Actually this can be done only through Syria, which Iran's strategic ally will never run to. That is why al-Jazeera Qatari channel all the day long deals with problems of Syria, while from Qatar the Air Force transporters transfer to Jordan and Turkey a lot of weapons to rebels and insurgents of the so-called Free Syrian Army.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #393939; line-height: 20px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 25px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #393939; line-height: 20px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 25px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

It seems that Qatar that has until recently preferred the French military equipment, and now replaces it by the American, just uses the above destructive methods to achieve its political and economic interests. But slanderers were always enough and everywhere though.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The proposal, which has been drawn up by the military and presented to Binyamin Netanyahu, the prime minister, is intended to secure the 47-mile border against a growing Islamist threat if President Bashar al-Assad’s embattled regime loses control of the area.</span></div>

The U.S. has designated it as an al-Qaeda affiliate. According to Quilliam Foundation, a counterterrorism policy institute based in London, Jabhat al-Nusra is an offshoot of al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), a terror group allegedly founded by <a href="http://www.spacewar.com/news/iraq-05zzzzzo.html" style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">Abu Musab al-Zarqawi</a>, the mythical terror leader who transformed AQI “from a small elitist vanguard to a mass movement.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Israel’s decision to carve out a strip on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights – Syrian territory occupied and administered by Israel since 1967 – is hardly a new tactic: Israel did much the same in south Lebanon.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Following the conclusion of the 1982 Lebanon War and Operation Peace in Galilee (the Israeli invasion of Lebanon), the IDF was instructed by the Israeli government to maintain a “security zone” in Lebanon, ostensibly to prevent infiltration by the PLO. Israeli occupation of a 25 kilometer deep area inside the country and the brutality inflicted on civilians by the IDF and its proxy the<span lang="en" style="outline: 0px;">South Lebanon Army </span>resulted in the formation of Hezbollah.</span></div>

The IDF maintained the notorious<a href="http://www.inminds.co.uk/khiam-prison.html" style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">Khiam prison</a> where many Lebanese were held without trial and tortured.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It is also about balkanizing and splintering the Arab and Muslim world, a plan not exclusive to Israel as a key component of its own territorial ambitions, but also used by the global elite who have employed the time-tested British “divide and conquer” strategy to “prevent collusion and maintain security dependence among the vassals, to keep tributaries pliant and protected, and to keep the barbarians from coming together,” as <a href="http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Zbigniew_Brzezinski" style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">Zbigniew Brzezinski</a> writes in The Grand Chessboard.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“The purpose of the plan [to impose a buffer zone] is to ensure the safety of Israel’s Golan Heights and its northern region after the fall of the Assad regime in Syria,” <a href="http://www.israeldefense.com/?CategoryID=483&ArticleID=1937" style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">Israel Defense</a> reports today.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“If the Syrian instability persists, it seems that IDF forces will have to stay in the security zone that will be constructed for years,” said one of those close to those behind the plan that was submitted.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For Israel, the piecemeal conquest of Syria – and Lebanon before it – has little to do with “Syrian instability” manufactured in large part by external players (the CIA, Saudi Arabia and Qatar), but is rather an ongoing effort to dissolve Arab and Muslim states.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><em style="outline: 0px;">A Strategy for Israel in the 1980s</em>, written by Oded Yinon, who was formerly attached to the Israeli Foreign Ministry, and published in Kivunim (Directions), the journal of the Department of Information of the World Zionist Organization, “reflects high-level thinking in the Israeli military and intelligence establishment,” writes <a href="http://www.marxists.de/middleast/schoenman/ch12.htm" style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">Ralph Schoenman</a>. The article “outlines a timetable for Israel to become the imperial regional power based upon the dissolution of the Arab states.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Yinon described an effort to dissolve Lebanon, fragment Syria, go to war with Iran, target Iraq (mission accomplished), marginalize and weaken Egypt (now in process), undermine Saudi Arabia, and eventually depopulate the Occupied Territories.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The decision to carve out a new security zone in Syria – despite its abject failure to maintain one in Lebanon – reveals that it remains on a trajectory envisioned prior to the establishment of the Israeli state.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The United States will naturally support this violation of Syria’s national sovereignty – citing al-Qaeda and other manufactured threats – as it has supported nearly all of Israel’s efforts against its Arab and Muslim neighbors.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Military forces in Syria, Lebanon and Jordan have raised their alert levels following an Israeli attack inside Syria on Wednesday.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="" class="alignright" height="200" src="http://static.infowars.com/2013/01/i/general/syria.png" style="border: none; float: right; outline: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 10px; padding-top: 10px;" width="185" /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Arabic-language daily Lebanese newspaper Addiyar reports that Syria has moved troops to the Israel-occupied Golan Heights, the Lebanese Army has reinforced its southern outposts and Jordan has positioned troops on the Jordan River border with Israel, according to <a href="http://english.ruvr.ru/2013_01_31/Syria-Lebanon-Jordan-alerted-to-Israeli-threat/" style="color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">The Voice of Russia</a>.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="http://www.debka.com/article/22724/Russia-slams-Israeli-attack-on-Syria-US-forces-in-Jordan-on-alert" style="color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">DEBKAfile</a> reports that the Russian fleet in the Mediterranean is also on high alert. Its military sources claim that “Turkish units on the Syrian border are on high preparedness although Ankara played down the reports of the Israeli air strike in Syria, uncomfortable over the fact that the Israeli Air Force was the first external power to intervene directly in the Syrian conflict.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">DEBKAfile claims that U.S. forces stationed at the Turkish Incerlik air base, U.S. Special Forces deployed at the Jordanian Mafraq air facility and American, German and Dutch Patriot missile units on the Turkish border are also on high preparedness.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-21272171" style="color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">Russian Foreign Ministry</a> issued a statement on the attack. “If this information is confirmed, then we are dealing with unprovoked attacks on targets on the territory of a sovereign country, which blatantly violates the UN Charter and is unacceptable, no matter the motives to justify it,” the ministry said on Thursday.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Iran’s foreign minister condemned what he called Israel’s “brutal aggression” against Syria. “There is no doubt that this aggression is part of a Western and Zionist strategy to push aside the success of the Syrian people and government to return to stability and security,” <a href="http://www.dailystar.com.lb/News/Middle-East/2013/Jan-31/204464-iran-condemns-israeli-brutal-aggression-against-sy.ashx#axzz2JYfzSAe7" style="color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">Ali Akbar Salehi</a> said in a statement.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Western media claims the attack targeted a Syrian military research center at Jamraya or a convoy of trucks headed for the Syria-Lebanon border allegedly carrying “game-changing weapons” destined for Israel’s arch-nemesis, Hezbollah. The <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-21272171" style="color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">BBC</a> claims the convoy was transferring Russian-made SA-17 anti-aircraft missiles.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Reuters portrayed the attack as “a warning by Israel to Syria and Hezbollah not to engage in the transfer of sensitive weapons,” but <a href="http://rt.com/news/israel-airstrike-syria-destabilization-131/" style="color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">Dr. Ali Mohamad</a>, editor-in-chief of the Syria Tribune news website, told RT alleged worries about chemical weapons in Syria are a pretext to destroy the al-Assad regime’s military research centers and make certain Damascus is unable to produce arms for its military or regional allies.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mohamed said Israel is working with the CIA’s mercenaries inside the country to target and destroy Syria’s weapons capability.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Neocon media emphatically states that the Israeli attack targeted Syria’s chemical weapons. “The Syrian strike can be seen as a precursor to a strike on Iran as Israel demonstrates that it will take action if a WMD red line is crossed,” writes <a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2013/dgreenfield/israel-carries-out-strikes-against-syrian-chemical-warfare-program/" style="color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">David Greenfield</a> for Fontpagemag, a website published by former Marxist David Horowitz.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The attack considerably escalates tensions in the region and possibly sets the stage for direct military intervention inside Syria.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“The prevailing estimate in military and intelligence circles in Washington and NATO capitals is that the Israeli air attack on the Syrian military site near Damascus was but the opening shot for the coming round of military blows they expect to be exchanged in the near future between Israel, Syria and Hezbollah, with Iran possibly waiting in the wings for a chance to pitch in,” DEBKAfile speculates.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://pravda-team.ru/eng/image/article/2/3/8/49238.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://pravda-team.ru/eng/image/article/2/3/8/49238.jpeg" /></a></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A new video posted on the Internet is yet another proof that the terrorists in Syria, backed by foreign powers, have chemical weapons. The video, which was recently released on the Internet, shows gunmen holding cans containing chemicals and threatening to throw them at members of the Syrian army.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.4em;">Also, recently, gunmen posted a threatening video that showed the bodies of rabbits that had died from inhaling poisonous gases.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 22.390625px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 1.4em;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 1.4em;">This past December, the Syrian ambassador to the United Nations (UN), Bashar Jaafari, from Damascus, expressed concern about the possible use of chemical weapons by terrorists against Syrian civilians.</span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<span style="line-height: 1.4em;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 1.4em;">Meanwhile, Washington has claimed, repeatedly, that the government of Syrian President al-Asad Basahr possesses chemical weapons and intends to use them against the gunmen.</span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<span style="line-height: 1.4em;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 1.4em;">Leaked documents from Britam Defence provided proof that Qatar suggested smuggling chemical weapons from Libya to Homs in Syria and using them to frame the Syrian Army, in addition to alluding to western preparations for a military invasion of Iran.</span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<span style="line-height: 1.4em;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 1.4em;">Documents also revealed that Qatar suggested employing Ukrainian mercenaries would be filmed pretending to be Russians captured by the so-called "Syrian Free Army" to embarrass Russia.</span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<span style="line-height: 1.4em;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 1.4em;">Dated December 24th, 2012, which is the date when certain media outlets claimed that Syria used chemical weapons in Homs, the information showed a correlation between the document and the plans that were set up.</span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<span style="line-height: 1.4em;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 1.4em;">The documents also alluded to the possibility of the appearance of Russian-speaking individuals claiming to be Russian military experts who will attempt to create problems for Damascus and Moscow, with the possibility of publishing videos depicting alleged Russian military personnel fighting alongside the Syrian Army who were captured by the terrorists, when in fact they're mercenaries of Slavic descent.</span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<span style="line-height: 1.4em;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 1.4em;">For almost two years, Syria has been submerged in anarchy caused by terrorist groups backed by foreign countries, including the U.S., Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey, which aim to create a pretext for foreign intervention in this Arab country and overthrow the government of President Assad.</span></div>

<div align="left" style="margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We’ll have to deliver a CW to Homs, a Soviet origin g-shell from Libya similar to those that Assad should have. They want us to deploy our Ukrainian personnel that should speak Russian and make a video record.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The fact that the plan involves delivering a CW (chemical weapon) that is “similar to those Assad should have,” clearly suggests that the idea is to stage a false flag chemical weapons attack that could be blamed on Assad by Gulf states like Qatar and NATO powers.</span></div>

<div align="left" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Soon after in August, <a href="http://news.investors.com/ibd-editorials/121012-636561-obama-moves-syria-chemical-weapons-red-line.htm?p=full" style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">President Barack Obama warned</a> that the use or even transportation of chemical weapons by the Assad regime would represent a “red line” that would precipitate military intervention. French President <a href="http://uk.reuters.com/article/2012/08/27/uk-syria-crisis-france-idUKBRE87Q0QZ20120827" style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Francois Hollande followed suit</a>, stating that the use of such weapons “Would be a legitimate reason for direct intervention.”</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">At around the same time, <a href="http://www.infowars.com/nato-plot-to-use-ambulances-as-cover-for-humanitarian-invasion-of-syria/" style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">a source told Syrian news channel Addounia</a> that a Saudi company had fitted 1400 ambulance vehicles with anti-gas & anti-chemical filtering systems at a cost of $97,000 dollars each, in preparation for a chemical weapons attack carried out by FSA rebels using mortar rounds. A further 400 vehicles were prepared as troop carriers.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The attack would be blamed on the Syrian Army and exploited as an excuse for a military assault. A March 2012 Brookings Institution report entitled <em style="outline: 0px;">Saving Syria: Assessing Options For Regime Change</em> <a href="http://www.infowars.com/assault-on-syria-matches-brookings-institution-regime-change-strategy/" style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">outlined this very scenario</a> – where a manufactured humanitarian crisis would be cited as justification for an attack.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Yesterday, <a href="http://whtc.com/news/articles/2013/jan/27/israel-vows-syria-strike-at-any-sign-of-chemical-arms-transfer/" style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Israel’s vice premier Silvan Shalom told reporters</a> that if Syrian rebels obtained chemical weapons from stockpiles belonging to the Assad regime, such a development would force Israel to resort to “preventive operations,” in other words – a military strike on Syria.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In December, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=H-6O-gApVrU" style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">a shocking video</a> emerged of Syrian rebels testing what appeared to be a form of nerve gas on rabbits, bolstering claims that the rebels had already obtained chemical weapons.</span></div>

Libya’s arsenal had fallen into the hands of sectarian extremists with NATO assistance in 2011 in the culmination of efforts to overthrow the North African nation. Since then, Libya’s militants led by commanders of <a href="http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2011/09/west-point-terror-center-confirms-al.html" style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Al Qaeda’s Libyan Islamic Fighting Group</a> (LIFG) have armed sectarian extremists across the Arab World, from <a href="http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2012/04/nato-triggers-african-terror-wave.html" style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">as far West as Mali, to as far East as Syria.”</a></span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Last month, 29 different US-backed Syrian opposition groups pledged their allegiance to Al Nusra, an Al-Qaeda-affiliated group which, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/09/world/middleeast/syrian-rebels-tied-to-al-qaeda-play-key-role-in-war.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0" style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">as the New York Times reported</a>, “killed numerous American troops in Iraq.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Numerous reports confirm that <a href="http://www.boomantribune.com/story/2013/1/9/3557/14093" style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Al Nusra is the leading front line fighting force in Syria</a> and is commanding other rebel groups. Given their prominent role, allied with the fact that the terror group has been responsible for numerous bloody attacks in Syria, the notion that the Obama administration would approve a plot that could see chemical weapons fall into the hands of Al-Qaeda terrorists could represent a foreign policy scandal even bigger than Benghazi-Gate.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In a related story, the <a href="http://leaks.syrian-es.org/" style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Syrian Electronic Army</a>, a separate hacktivist group, continues to release hacked files and <a href="http://english.al-akhbar.com/content/qatar-leaks-business-foreign-affairs" style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">emails from numerous sensitive foreign ministry and military websites</a> belonging to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey, including emails sent between these countries.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">During the whole of the “Arab Spring” and the Syrian war in particular, the Arab press has kept the actions of the emir of Qatar, Saudi Arabia’s royal family and the leader’s of Israel and Turkey in their crosshairs. When confronted with the published facts, it is possible to believe that not a single one of these sides is acting alone, that they are united by common aims and interests and in achieving these, it is the people of the Middle East who are paying with their own blood and their own futures.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">With reference to Syrian information sources, the</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><i style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Islam Times</i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><a href="http://www.islamtimes.org/vdcc01qi42bq118.caa2.html" style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">reports </a><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">on the activities of a group of foreign agents in Syria. This group is serving the interests of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Israel and Turkey and consists of 16 members who are all citizens of either Israel, Turkey, Qatar or Saudi Arabia. Foreign agents have been operating under the guise of militant terrorists and the Syrian Freedom Army and have been kidnapping and murdering Syrians as well as Palestinian scientists and experts from a variety of fields. The Syrian army recently announced that seven members of this gang had been arrested and were being questioned.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 20px !important; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A second gang of marauders has been putting rare museum pieces from Syria onto the international black market. Naturally, all of this is being done through Turkey. Factories are also being dismantled and and shifted to the Turkish territory. Trade in human organs is being established in Turkey just as it was in Kosovo at the beginning of the 2000s. The reluctant donors are Syrian refugees without the means to keep their families in Turkish refugee camps.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 20px !important; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
</div>
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The head of the Saudi Intelligence Agency, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandar_bin_Sultan" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Prince Bandar Bin Sultan</a>, along with the leader of the Lebanese opposition party and member of the anti-Syrian coalition “14 March”,<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samir_Geagea" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank"> Samir Farid Geagea</a>, are playing an important role in destabilising and aggravating the situation in Syria and neighbouring Lebanon. They are the ones sending armed groups of terrorists to fight with Syria and after Syria has fallen it will become the Lebanese Shi’ites turn. In addition, the Arabic online publication<i style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Islam Times</i> also mentions Prince Bandar bin Sultan’s other activities as Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the United States from 1983 to 2005; he only managed to get himself appointed as head of the Saudi Intelligence Agency after organising several fatal terrorist attacks against high-ranking Syrian officials.<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> The prince is now dreaming of making it to the royal throne in his own country and</strong><b style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">the only way he will manage this is if Syrian President Bashar Assad is assassinated</strong>.</b></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lebanese oppositionist Samir Geagea also has his eye on the very highest post – the presidential chair – and the only way he will be able to achieve that is by removing the Shi’ite Hezbollah. As the publication points out, Israel and the USA have been pushing for the “mutual cooperation” of both. The only effective way to achieve if not Assad’s assassination then at least his downfall is terrorism. Al-Qaeda and its offspring “Jabhat an-Nusra” are just the kind of convenient instruments that can help interested parties overthrow any state system sooner or later. It has been reported that two “<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Nusra_Front" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Jabhat an-Nusra</a>” instructors have undergone Israeli training. The plan is that in the future they will not just be fighting Hezbollah, but Lebanese Salafists as well. Among the militants are also Kurds, who are under the command of the Kurdish leader within al-Qaeda. Samir Geagea sees yet one more advantage for himself as a result of the Syrian war: the concentration of Syrian Christian refugees in the Lebanon could lead to a political shift in religious terms and prepare his own path to the presidency.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Since 2010, Americans and Qatar have been buying up weapons from tribes in South Afghanistan. This was reported to the Iranian press by Afghan middleman Habibullah Kandahari and besides him, the Americans had also ordered weapons from seven other Afghans. Kandahari reports that he personally had provided 4,000 units over a period of six months. These included handguns and other types of firearms, for which their former owners were paid large sums of money. The Afghan middlemen handed over the purchased weapons to the Americans at Kandahar airport and were told nothing about the future fate of the weapons. So as not to cause any unnecessary curiosity or suspicion, the Americans said that the weapons were being bought to guarantee the safety of their own soldiers from the local population. According to Habibullah Kandahari, he had noted privately that the Americans had never been attacked by peaceful civilians, only armed groups. <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Weapons in Afghanistan were loaded onto Qatar aeroplanes and then taken through Jordan to Syria, where they ended up in the hands of terrorists.</strong> Qatar aircrafts, the same as American aircrafts, were able to land at airports in Afghanistan without difficulty and even without the knowledge of the local authorities. During one of the meetings of the National Security Council, the country’s president even ordered that the total lack of authority when it came to the Americans be looked into and clarified who should give consent for Qatar and American aircraft to land in Afghanistan without prior agreement and how this should be done. An Afghan security expert notes that in 2010, nobody had openly bought such quantities of weapons and dispatched them to Jordan, but following the first peaceful protests and demonstrations in Syria in 2011, weapons had been bought up openly.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Elections for the 19th Knesset were held in Israel on 21 January and were won by the party of the current Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. The Israeli politician’s pre-election campaign was paid for by the emir of Qatar. Leader of the opposition party “Kadima” and former Minister of Foreign Affairs in Ehud Olmert’s cabinet, Tzipi Livni, told journalists that it had cost approximately USD 3 million. She also added that she was very close friends with the emir’s wife.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
</div>
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In getting rid of Palestinian leaders and scientists it finds undesirable both in Palestine itself and in Syria, and now paying for the pre-election campaign of an Israeli politician with extremely right-wing views, Qatar is aiming to close the Palestinian question for all Arabs once and for all and place it under the watchful control of the Muslim Brotherhood, or the Egyptian government, in other words. It will also tackle the issue of Jordan in the future, if the royal regime there can be toppled and power transferred to the Brotherhood. It would mean that the Palestinian question is laid to rest forever, since in the future part of the Palestinian population would have been resettled in Jordan and part of the population in Sinai. Which, as a matter of fact, is what the USA is trying to achieve with Israel.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Lebanese coalition “14 March” has once again shown that it is not the interests of Lebanon that are being served, or even the interests of Christians, but centres that are completely strange and alien to Lebanon. The coalition’s activities are particularly damaging against the backdrop of the Syrian war, where anti-Syrian sentiment among part of the Lebanese population is escalating to such a level that it could spill over from the political arena into armed conflict and civil war.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With regard to everything that has been said here, one is reminded of a quote by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yitzak_Rabin" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Yitzak Rabin</a>: “I would like Gaza to sink into the sea, but that won’t happen, and a solution must be found” . It seems that the Emir of Qatar and Netanyahu have come up with the same solution. And not just for Palestine…</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18.1875px;">In 2007, the Wall Street Journal published an article titled, “</span><a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB118530969571176579.html" style="background-color: white; color: #0066cc; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18.1875px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">To Check Syria, U.S. Explores Bond With Muslim Brothers</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18.1875px;">.” And even then, it was noted that the Brotherhood held close links with groups the US recognizes and lists as terrorist organizations, including Hamas and Al Qaeda.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The report gives a disturbing foreshadowing of US support that would eventually see the Muslim Brotherhood rise as both a political and terroristic power across the Arab World, after decades of hard-fought attempts to crush the sectarian extremist organization everywhere from Tunisia to Syria, from Egypt to Libya, to Jordan, and beyond. In fact, the 2007 Wall Street Journal article specifically noted that the US partnership could “destabilize governments in Jordan and Egypt, two US allies where the Brotherhood is a growing opposition force.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Egypt is now run by a sectarian-extremist Muslim Brotherhood dictatorship, <a href="http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2012/08/west-celebrates-as-dark-age-descends.html" style="color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">after the US incited unrest there in 2011</a>, while Jordan is seeing increasing unrest led by the Jordanian arm of the Brotherhood.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What is also disturbing about the 2007 report, is that it shows how allegedly “Bush-era” policies transcended the 2000-2008 administration and continued in earnest under President Obama.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The report, written by Jay Solomon, echoes similar foreshadowing of the coming violent sectarian bloodbath now engulfing Syria, found in Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh’s New Yorker piece titled, “<a href="http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/03/05/070305fa_fact_hersh?currentPage=all" style="color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">The Redireciton: Is the Administration’s new policy benefiting our enemies in the war on terrorism?</a>”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Solomon begins by stating:</span></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 1.25em;">
<div style="margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On a humid afternoon in late May, about 100 supporters of Syria’s largest exile opposition group, the National Salvation Front, gathered outside Damascus’s embassy here to protest Syrian President Bashar Assad’s rule. The participants shouted anti-Assad slogans and raised banners proclaiming: “Change the Regime Now.”</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Later in the article, it would be revealed that the National Salvation Front (NSF) was in contact with the US State Department and that a Washington-based consulting firm in fact assisted the NSF in organizing the rally:<br style="outline: 0px;" /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7197375322551540850" name="more" style="color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: underline;"></a></span></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 1.25em;">
<div style="margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In the weeks before the presidential election, the State Department’s Middle East Partnership Initiative, which promotes regional democracy, and NSF members met to talk about publicizing Syria’s lack of democracy and low voter turnout, participants say. A Washington-based consulting firm, C&O Resources Inc., assisted the NSF in its planning for the May 26 anti-Assad rally at the Syrian embassy, providing media and political contacts. State Department officials stress they provided no financial or technical support to the protestors.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And while the Wall Street Journal then, just as the US State Department and the Western media houses are now portraying the Syrian opposition as representing a wide range of interests across Syrian society, it was admitted then, just as it is plainly obvious now, that the sectarian extremist Muslim Brotherhood was in fact at the very center of the “uprising:”</span></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 1.25em;">
<div style="margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One of the NSF’s most influential members is the Syrian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood — the decades-old political movement active across the Middle East whose leaders have inspired the terrorist groups Hamas and al Qaeda. Its Syrian offshoot says it has renounced armed struggle in favor of democratic reform.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The article would describe a fractured, disorganized opposition, must like the 2011 “National Syrian Council” (NSC) and its more recent <a href="http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2012/12/us-recognizes-unelected-terrorists-as.html" style="color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">US-Qatari contrived reincarnation</a>, the “National Coalition,” whose only common denominator and prevailing ideology was and still is the sectarian extremism practiced by the Muslim Brotherhood. Similarly, the current “National Coalition” is headed by Moaz al-Khatib who, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgWWXvmZmsc&feature=player_embedded#%21" style="color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">on Qatari state-owned Al Jazeera</a>, openly admitted his aspirations of establishing an “Islamic State” in place of Syria’s current secular society. Al-Khatib also <a href="http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2012/12/us-backed-syrian-opposition-demands.html" style="color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">vigorously protested</a> the US’ listing of Al Qaeda terrorist franchisee, Al Nusra, who is openly fighting as part of Al-Khatib’s “National Coalition.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">These are the “freedom fighters” then and now, that the US has been supporting, funding, and in fact arming. The most recent accusation of the US arming known-terrorists <a href="http://cnsnews.com/news/article/former-special-forces-commander-was-us-running-guns-syrian-rebels-benghazi-cia-no" style="color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">came from retired US Army General and former Special Forces Commander, William G. Boykin</a>, who claimed the US is not only arming terrorists in Syria, but they are doing so by running guns through <a href="http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2012/10/dead-us-ambassador-documented-creation.html" style="color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">the terror emirate</a> of Benghazi, Libya.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">From the <a href="http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2012/10/nato-using-al-qaeda-rat-lines-to-flood.html" style="color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">pan-Arab logistical networks</a> NATO is using to flood Syria with weapons and terrorists, to the current leadership of the so-called opposition, and with documented evidence from 2007 of a US conspiracy to prop up the Muslim Brotherhood and other known, violent extremist groups in Syria to overthrow the government, it is clear that every aspect of the US’, UK’s, NATO’s, and even the UN’s narrative regarding the conflict in Syria is an intentional fabrication. Furthermore, it indicates a much wider deception – one involving the misconception that presidential elections bring in both new leadership, and new policies. The wars engineered under Bush, are being carried out under Obama, by the same policy makers from the very same <a href="http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2012/05/us-brookings-wants-to-bleed-syria-to.html" style="color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">corporate-funded think-tanks</a>that handed Bush his agenda years ago.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With French, British, and now US troops <a href="http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2013/01/france-displays-unhinged-hypocrisy-as.html" style="color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">becoming increasingly involved in Mali</a>, allegedly fighting terrorists with direct connections to the fighters armed, funded, and given diplomatic recognition by the West in Libya, and with the conflict already spilling over the borders with Algeria, one must recognize that an agenda is being carried out contra to both the will of the people and their best interests. Identifying <a href="http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2011/03/naming-names-your-real-government.html" style="color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">the corporate-financier interests</a> involved in this agenda, and both boycotting and replacing them <a href="http://localorg.blogspot.com/2012/12/decenralize-big-retail.html" style="color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">with local alternatives</a> is our only recourse. Clearly – as illustrated in the case with the non-transition, continuity of agenda between “right-wing” Republican Bush and “left-wing” Democrat Obama – elections don’t count. As proven with the “Arab Spring” and the US underwritten protests of the NSF – protests don’t either.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 16.796875px; text-align: justify;"><a href="http://english.pravda.ru/hotspots/conflicts/24-01-2013/123568-syria_brave_nation-0/">Pravda.ru</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 16.796875px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 16.796875px; text-align: justify;">The official Syrian news agency, SANA, was blocked for almost two months by the western ex-imperialists in their last attempt to falsify the news about Syria, grasping at the last straw that is swimming away in the tide of events. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px; text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.voltairenet.org/local/cache-vignettes/L400xH300/1-3624-ae598-214fc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://www.voltairenet.org/local/cache-vignettes/L400xH300/1-3624-ae598-214fc.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Recently, SANA came online again and can be read in five languages - Arabic, English, French, Russian and Turkish - on the internet. This shows that Syria is a cultured nation, with a long tradition of knowledge and learning. Most educated Syrians are not only bi-lingual, but multi-lingual.</div>
</span></span><div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 16.796875px;">It is very interesting to see how different the SANA news is from those that we are bombarded with on a daily basis by the western mainstream media. "Army inflicts heavy losses upon terrorists in several areas," was the top headline of the English edition on Tuesday, the 22nd of January 2013. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><div style="text-align: left;">
The interested reader will find a lot of details, either pleasant or unpleasant to read, depending on the side he stands on. According to SANA, the Syrian Armed Forces inflicted heavy losses upon diverse terrorist groups in Syria. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><div style="text-align: left;">
Terrorists were chased and killed in Darya, Damascus countryside. Several of their leaders were shot: Omran Moaddamani, Sameer abo Mohammed, Ahmed with the nickname of abo Muhajed and Ghiath aka abo Kazem. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><div style="text-align: left;">
Furthermore, the Syrian Armed Forces foiled terrorists' attempts to detonate two explosive devices weighing 40 kilos, which were planted near the Syrian Television facility. The Syrian Army also destroyed five vehicles in Palmyra, killing all of the terrorists inside. More terrorists were pursued and killed in the Homs countryside, especially in the area of Ebl, al-Haidariyeh, al-Howeida, al-Gharbiyeh and Um al-Sakher. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><div style="text-align: left;">
Some of the terrorists had the glorious idea of dressing up, maybe because carnival time is approaching in the west. They looted houses, disguised as Syrian Army soldiers, but the Syrian Security Forces outsmarted and arrested them. All the stolen gold, money and weapons were seized. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><div style="text-align: left;">
The Syrian Defence Minister, General Fahd Jassem al-Frej, stressed that the Syrian Arab Army will continue to pursue and kill armed terrorists in order to foil the western conspiracy against the Arab Socialist Republic of Syria and its President, Dr. Bashar Al-Assad. On an inspection tour of Syrian combat formations, the General praised the high morale of the Syrian soldiers, who are bravely confronting the rag-tag terrorist hordes . </div>
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><div style="text-align: left;">
Meanwhile, the civilians in Syria are doing their best to carry on with their daily lives. Temporary shelter centres have been set up for displaced children. To entertain them, an event called "Holiday of Joy and Creation" took place from the 20th to 24th of January, with artistic and musical workshops. The Syrian actress, Huda al-Sha'arawi, narrated popular damascene stories. The youngsters also enjoyed watching magic box and theatrical shows. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><div style="text-align: left;">
According to Syria's Minister of Culture, Lubana Mshaweh, the Directorate of Child Culture is making great efforts to offer a wide variety of entertainment for the children in temporary shelter centres. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><div style="text-align: left;">
They also receive psychological support to cope with the trauma of having lost their homes and families. The needs for the temporary shelter centres are provided by charities, the civil community and humanitarian organizations. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><div style="text-align: left;">
The Syrian Minister of Culture furthermore inaugurated a new museum in Damascus. A prominent family donated their house, which was transformed into the Museum of Heritage Revival. The family of the scholar Said al-Arfi wanted to immortalize his memory with this project. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><div style="text-align: left;">
The house contains precious Syrian antiques and heritage pieces. The museum has been equipped with special rooms where children can read, study or take part in courses of calligraphy and wood carving. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><div style="text-align: left;">
The famous Syrian scholar, Said al-Arfi, was born in Deir Ezzor, in 1996. He worked as Mufti in the Euphrates Valley. In 1942, he became a member of the Arab Science Academy in Damascus. Said al-Arfi is the author of several books. During the inauguration ceremony, the volume, "Quotes from the Thinking of Scholar Mohammed Said al-Arfi" was signed. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><div style="text-align: left;">
Last, but not least, football is still being played in Syria. The Syrian football team was proud to move up eight places in the recent FIFA rankings, from the 144th to the 136th place, with 237 points. They are still very far away from the top ten, of course, but this was an important step forward for the Syrian football team after it benefited from winning the West Asian Championship. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><div style="text-align: left;">
However, things do not look so good for the so-called "Syrian opposition," as the Lebanese media, Al Manar, reported. Their meeting in Istanbul was postponed once more, and their plans of forming a "transitional government" in Syria were thwarted again. They seem to be on the transition to nirvana, or nowhere. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><div style="text-align: left;">
This medley of 70 heads, formed with western and Gulf backing in Qatar, is lost in power struggles. The self-anointed chief, Moaz Alkhatib, flew to Qatar to beg for more money. If the beggar comes back with empty hands, the rest of the beggars might get lost soon. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 16.796875px;"><div style="text-align: left;">
Sic transeunt tempora. As time goes by, the "transitional council" might transit to some other place and let the brave Syrians lead their lives in peace. </div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A large number of spying cells from Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar are operating in Syria to help the armed rebels topple the Damascus government, sources said on Sunday.</span><br>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Informed sources told the Palestinian al-Manar weekly that Israeli, Saudi, Turkish and Qatari intelligence officers, backed by the US, have infiltrated into Syria via the Turkish borders, adding that each spying cell is comprised of 16 agents. </span></span><br>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">According to the sources, the main goal of the intelligence groups is gathering intelligence, specially in the form of footage and images, from Syria's sensitive and important sites, the country's military grid and power in particular.<br><br>The spying cells have also been provided with a list of Syria's prominent scientists and experts in different fields to kidnap and assassinate them, the sources said, elaborating on the mission of the multinational espionage operations underway in Syria.</span></span><br>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There is one thing the French are not very good at, and that is fighting, unless, of course, they join their FUKUS Axis friends (France, UK, US) in some cowardly attack against a country with porous borders, such as was the case with Libya. Two hundred years after Napoleon was thrashed in Russia we see Hollande crawling in the footsteps of Sarkozy...</span><br>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">From what has came out from the tripartite meeting in Geneva between the Russians, the Americans and the international envoy Lakhdar Brahimi, Friday, January 11, it is clear that the refusal of the United States to recognize the failure of the universal war that they launched against Syria and its president Bashar al-Assad, is a major obstacle that prevents a political solution to the Syrian crisis.</span><br>
