Det verkar som att den syriska armén nu tagit full kontroll över de delar av staden Homs där de väpnade grupperna hade sina starkaste fästen. Ändå fortsätter medierna med sin propagandakampanj, och den hysteriska Hilary Clinton blir alltmer desperat – Assad could be classified as a war criminal – Clinton

En bra artikel av en schweizisk journalist som har varit på plats i Syrien – Homs: Horror of Organised Armed Groups, Not Damascus

Homs, now, is nothing but a sinister battlefield where government soldiers face armed groups which, according to independent witnesses about the true nature of the rebellion, are blindly firing cannon shots to sow terror and death, then pretending that only government forces are bombarding the city.
The Western media continue, for its part, to adduce as evidence the statements of local committees which spread propaganda of the armed ”opponents”, in coordination with the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights, a London-based body created and funded by the rebellion-allied forces [2].
…
Who would believe in Bashar Al Assad’s interest in torturing his people, in raping children and girls? Who would believe that the majority of the Syrian people would continue supporting Bashar Al Assad if he was really such a bloody torturer as painted in the West for the purpose of war propaganda?
These incessant campaigns which defend the violent opposition, and not the people terrorized and oppressed by these rebels, are dangerous. They aim to bring grist to foreign power’s mill – France, Great Britain, the United States, backed by Qatar and Saudi Arabia – which have been preparing for months the ground for a military intervention in Syria, and are just waiting for the green light by Obama.

En journalist från Australien ger sin bild efter en resa till Syrien nyligen – Syria’s ‘Arab Spring’: failed or hijacked?

I have just returned from Syria. Like so many who care about what happens there, I went because I wanted to see, listen, ask questions, overhear conversations, watch dedicated 24-hour television propaganda channels (both for and against the government), read graffiti, and experience what sort of realities Syrians are now creating for themselves. There are daily flights out of the UAE. My flight was full.
I also went to Syria specifically to dig out all the details of my adoptive nephew’s kidnapping by opposition ‘forces’ a couple of weeks earlier.
The 18-year-old is in the first months of his obligatory military service and was returning back to his military posting after a short leave pass home, riding a civilian bus between a provincial town near his home and Damascus. The bus was stopped outside Homs by what appeared to be a security roadblock. Eight heavily armed men in military uniform boarded the bus and demanded that those serving in the military raise their hands. My nephew did so, along with a few others. They were taken off the bus, blindfolded, put in cars and driven away.
Two days later the kidnappers called the young man’s family, using his mobile phone, and berated them for letting their son ‘fight for Assad’ instead of fighting against the government and doing his Muslim duty. The family begged for mercy. The phone hung up. An excruciating six days later another call came advising that for a 500,000 Syrian Pound ransom (currently about $8,000), they could collect him.

Sharmine Narwani – Questioning the Syrian “Casualty List”

Nir Rosen, an American journalist who spent several months insides Syria’s hot spots in 2011, with notable access to armed opposition groups, reported in a recent Al Jazeera interview:
“Every day the opposition gives a death toll, usually without any explanation of the cause of the deaths. Many of those reported killed are in fact dead opposition fighters, but the cause of their death is hidden and they are described in reports as innocent civilians killed by security forces, as if they were all merely protesting or sitting in their homes. Of course, those deaths still happen regularly as well.”
“And, every day, members of the Syrian army, security agencies and the vague paramilitary and militia phenomenon known as shabiha [”thugs”] are also killed by anti-regime fighters,” Rosen continues.

Michel Chossudovsky and Finian Cunningham – Syria: Clinton Admits US On Same Side As Al Qaeda To Destabilise Assad Government

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has acknowledged that Al Qaeda and other organizations on the US “terror list” are supporting the Syrian opposition.
Clinton said: “We have a very dangerous set of actors in the region, al-Qaida [sic], Hamas, and those who are on our terrorist list, to be sure, supporting – claiming to support the opposition [in Syria].” [1] (Click here to watch video)
Yet at the same time, in the above BBC interview the US Secretary of State repeats the threadbare Western claim that the situation in Syria is one of a defenceless population coming under “relentless attack” from Syrian government forces.
There is ample evidence that teams of snipers who have been killing civilians over the past year in Syria belong to the terrorist formations to which Clinton is referring to.
…
The admission at the weekend by Hillary Clinton corroborates the finding that armed groups are attacking civilians and these groups are terroristic, according to US own definitions, and that the situation in Syria is not one of unilateral state violence against its population but rather is one of a shadowy armed insurrection.
Clinton’s admission retrospectively justifies the stance taken by Russia and China, both of which vetoed the proposed UN Security Council Resolution on 4 February, precisely because that proposal was predicated on a spurious notion that the violence in Syria was solely the responsibility of the Al Assad government.
…
Besides, such a declaration by Saudi Arabia and Qatar of being willing to arm Syrian insurrectionists, can be seen as a cynical cover for what is already taking place. It is known that the Gulf monarchical states are already supplying weapons illicitly to the self-styled Syrian Free Army, along with Turkey and Israel.
So far, the US is officially maintaining the fiction that it is not involved in supplying arms to Syria even though Washington has demanded “regime change” and in spite of evidence that Western covert forces, including American, British and French operatives, are actively engaged with the opposition groups.
It is richly ironic that the unelected fundamentalist Sunni regimes of the Persian Gulf are supporting Al Qaeda affiliated groups within Syria purportedly to “bring about democratic reforms”. This is the same dynamic that prevailed in Libya where the overthrow of that country’s government by Western and Gulf Arab powers has now led to a collapse in human rights and social conditions.
Once again, Syria is indicating the same alignment of allies: Washington, London and other NATO powers comfortably in bed with Sunni/Salafist tyrants and terrorists, claiming to be supporting democratic freedom and human rights.

The only purpose of an urgent UN debate on the human rights situation in Syria was “to put international community against the Syrian authorities”, Russia’s deputy foreign minister Gennady Gatilov said.
He believes that there was no need calling an urgent conference on the issue, because it was aimed at proclaiming the government in Damascus ‘illegitimate’.
“We can`t allow this to happen”, Gatilov said, adding that the Syrian regime had taken certain measures to improve the human rights situation and launch democratic reforms in the region.
The diplomat insists that attempts to impose democracy through the use of force will inevitably cause a reverse effect.

Thierry Meyssan, som befinner sig i Syrien, rapporterar om läget i Homs, och om de utländska journaliser som finns kvar där – For the release of our compatriots and colleagues held captive in Baba Amr –

The Syrian generals deemed that the Battle of Homs was won on 13 February and reported to President Bashar al-Assad that it was over on Thursday, 23 February, at 1900 hours.
Victory does not have the same meaning for civilians as for the military. The former dream of a return to a peaceful life. The latter proclaim it much in the same way as a surgeon at the end of a successful operation. The fact remains that the injured are still subjected to months of treatment and years of rehabilitation. Specifically, what the end of the battle means to them is that the rebels have been confined inside a completely encircled area and no longer pose a threat to their security.

If the world loses Syria, there seems no further bright future for the world

Anyway the gathering in Tunis might mean the US-led “despicable” gangster act is definitely a step closer for their nakedly direct military acts against Syria if the world, particularly China and Russia and the rest of the world further hesitate to find out what to do with the situation other than repeating their usual, ordinary and normal DIPLOMATIC efforts.
In other words, if China and Russia and the rest of the world continue their diplomatic overtures which seem to have been TOO NICE, TOO GENTLE, TOO ORDINARY, TOO DIPLOMATIC, thereby could-be interpreted TOO NAIVE while US and its mercenary subordinates further step up their ALREADY TOO MUCH UGLY, TOO MUCH VILE, TOO MUCH EXTRAORDINARY, and TOO MUCH VIOLENT in their CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, it seems there won’t be any bright future NOT ONLY in the Middle East region BUT ALSO for the rest of the world.

Both the draft constitution, the massive turnout, as well as the pro Syrian, anti foreign involvement, and anti “Friends of Syria” protests have been the massive PR disaster that the Iznogood Alliance of the Friends of Syria wanted to avoid at all costs.

Ytterligare stöd för varningarna i bl.a. inläggen den 23:e feb och det igår, om att kemiska vapen som har flyttats från Libyen till Turkiet kommer att användas i attacker i Syrien som kommer att skyllas på landets ledning. I den här artikeln i The Wall Street Journal – U.S. Steps Up Watch of Syria Chemical Weapons – från den 15:e feb säger en amerikansk myndighetsperson det finns farhågor om att kemiska vapen i Syrien ska komma i väpnade gruppers händer, men att man tror att de är väl bevakade av regeringstrupperna.
Det är troligen samma person som får komma till tals i den här artikel thecable.foreignpolicy.com – Exclusive: State Department quietly warning region on Syrian WMDs –

Syria is believed to have a substantial chemical weapons program, which includes mustard gas and sophisticated nerve agents, such as sarin gas, as well as biological weapons.
…
In addition to the danger of proliferation, there is a concern that Assad could actually use his WMDs if his situation becomes desperate.
”The WMD program is in play now, and that’s important because it highlights the innate danger that the existence of this regime poses to U.S. security and regional interests,” the administration official said

Så, då har man krattat manegen, man har på ett försåtligt sätt planterat in i läsarnas medvetande att regeringen har tillgång till kemiska vapen, plus naturligtvis att det är en ond regim som kan ta sig till vad som helst. Vad man undviker att nämna är att det som verkligen pågår är en bestämd destabiliseringskampanj där väpnade grupper med massivt stöd från utlandet härjar i landet, ett anfall mot landet i syfte att få bort landets ledning. Och att våldet från regeringstruppernas sida är en suverän stats skyldighet att försvara sitt lands medborgare från väpnade våldsverkare och att försvara sitt lands territorium.
Om man då lägger till pusselbiten med uppgifterna om att kemiska vapen har flyttats från Libyen till Turkiet där utländska lego-krigare samlats och tränas. Och palestinska underrättelseuppgifter om attacker idag, på dagen för omröstningen om en ny konstitution, och nya attacker framöver. Plus det jag har noterat, att Amnesty planerar en aktionsdag för Nordafrika och Mellanöstern den 10:e mars, och kanske den 15:e mars (räknas det som den dag för ett år sen då oroligheterna startade i Syrien?). Så kan man se vilken hotbild som tornar upp sig.

Samma Christoph Hörstel som i videon kommer med oroväckande uppgifter om att attacker är att vänta i Syrien i morgon då det ska hållas omröstning om ny konstitution – NATO organizes a full-scale war in Syria – covertly under the table

Terrible background information comes from reliable sources in Amman and Ankara/Istanbul.
40-43’000 mercenaries are ready in Jordan to attack Syria. (1) Turkey has openly set up a mercenary recruitment office in Amman’s Mekkah Street. Since last early summer they are active in finding personnel to do dirty jobs in neighbouring Syria.
…
Tomorrow’s “referendum battle” will be used to push for “humanitarian corridors”, which in turn will be misused as influx roads of the mercenaries – and to literally cut Syria to pieces. Already the “Red Crescent” commandos have reached the battleground of Homs.

Already the “Red Crescent” commandos have reached the battleground of Homs. The author remembers well, how he toured Soviet-occupied Afghanistan in Saudi-paid spy-team driven ambulances, rattling with weapons and ammunition for the Mujahideen – more than twenty years ago.
That makes it clear: NATO is not considering any challenge to Russian and Iranian naval forces in Tartus. US-led NATO and Arab allies bank on irregular forces for their regime change effort. Plus heavy employment of special commandos and spies.

Press TV – Syrian rebels confirm receiving arms from Western countries

Syrian rebels have confirmed that foreign countries, including the West, are arming them to fight against the government of President Bashar al-Assad.
Speaking at an international conference on Syria unrest in Tunisia, a Syrian opposition source said on Friday that several countries are providing armed groups in Syria with weapons, which are being smuggled into the country.

Webster Tarpley på Press TV, där intervjun finns utskriven.

Press TV: A number of big players this Friends of Syria meeting. Taking that into account, will it accomplish anything at all?
Tarpley: Well, of course it is very notable that Russia, China, and indeed Lebanon, a country that is immediately involved with Syria, will be boycotting this meeting. This meeting bills itself as the Friends of Syria, and all I can say is that with friends like that, you don’t need enemies. The purpose of the conference is to bring the wonderful benefits of NATO bombing and a civil war on the Libyan model to Syria.

Webster Tarpley varnar för en false flag-händelse:

February 23, 2012
A reliable Russian source in Syria warns that al Jazeera is about to launch within hours a major false flag provocation. Al Jazeera will allege that 17 children have been killed by Assad’s forces. These children are already dead, and have been killed by NATO death squads. The goal is to create an atmosphere of hysteria at the Tunis “Friends of Syria” conference today Friday, which otherwise threatens to be a fiasco due to the boycott by Russia, China, and Lebanon, and due to the fragmented nature of the Syria opposition.
Please spread this story as fast as you can as a highest priority False Flag Alert.

Syrian Rebels Get Arms from Abroad: source

Foreign powers are turning a blind eye to weapons purchases by Syrian exiles who are already smuggling light arms, communications equipment and night vision goggles to rebels inside Syria, a Syrian opposition source said on Friday.
Syrian opposition supporters were also trying to bring anti-aircraft and anti-tank weapons to the Free Syrian Army rebels, and to get retired Syrian officers into the country to help coordinate military opposition to President Bashar al-Assad.
The source was speaking at a meeting of Western and Arab nations which will demand that, in the absence of international resolve to intervene to end Assad’s crackdown on an 11-month revolt, Syria allow aid to be delivered to civilians caught in fighting.
“We are bringing in defensive and offensive weapons… It is coming from everywhere, including Western countries and it is not difficult to get anything through the borders,” the source told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Utdrag från en längre artikel av Christof Lehmann – NATO set for War on Syria threatens Iran. The Russian Dilemma, and the Possible “Joker” – som gör en trovärdig analys av läget, tycker jag, och skrämmande. Och här bekräftas de farhågor jag har och skrev om igår, att en massiv attack är att vänta. Han talar om palestinska underrättelseuppgifter om en attack på dagen för omröstningen om ny konstitution, vilket väl är på söndag 26 feb. Och sen nämner han ett datum, senast 7 mars för en attack. Lägg därtill det jag skrev, att Amnesty planerar en kampanj den 10 mars! Det är en organisation som säkerligen är långtifrån oberoende och okorrupt (läs en bit ner på den här sidan var Francis A Boyle har att säga), det passar bra med en stor indignationskampanj strax efter en en attack med kemiska vapen mot folket, som naturligtvis skylls på landets ledning! Ett sätt att sätta stopp för sådana här planer är väl att sprida så mycket info som möjligt om farhågor om dem nu, innan de hinner sättas i verket! Allmänt spridda spekulationer om att något sådant är på gång borde kunna få vissa att tveka.

.. the Russian General Staff, Intelligence Services as well as the Russian Politicians, are well aware of the fact, that neither NATO, nor the NATO, Qatari, Saudi backed armed insurgents are interested in finding a peaceful solution.The question for NATO planners is no longer “if” but “how” to attack Syria and how to get away with while keeping Russia outside of the military equation. It is a high stakes gamble, with nothing less than the possibility of a regional war which could rapidly develop into a global war at stake.
How to get away with murder – Over 40.000 NATO backed armed insurgents massed in a military staging area in Jordan, along the Syrian border. Approximately 18.000 of these men are under the command of Libyan Al Qaeda commander and long-standing NATO ally Abdelhakim Belhadj.
…
On 26 February the people of Syria will hold a referendum about a draft Constitution. (12) A constitution which Preamble is a direct slap in the face of the new want to be colonial powers and their allies.(13) A massive turnout at the referendum, or massive popular support in favor of it, would not have much military significance; it would however, be an absolute domestic and international public relations disaster for the USA, NATO, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Jordan.
…
As reported in a recent article by the author, a Palestinian Intelligence source in Turkey informed, that massive terrorist attacks are to be expected in Syria on the day of the referendum. These attacks will be followed by a massive attack, including the deployment of the fighters now stationed in Jordan, not later than 7 March. (ibid.) 40.000, even 50.000 troops are far from sufficient to seriously threaten the Syrian military. They are however sufficient to create so much chaos, that the fighting can be sold as “a massive popular uprising” in Western Main Stream Media”.
…
The only player who is holding the “Joker” that could turn the game around seems to be China. It is the only player who could demand an US and NATO policy of non-interference, and demand that NATO calls back it´s bloodhounds. Back off or drown in worthless Dollar and Euro. China would most likely have the support of the BRIC and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and a Cohort of non aligned countries. The question is, will it play the “Joker” and pay a heavy price for peace now, or does it count on defending itself later, while letting NATO get away with murder for the time being.

Den allians av fiendemakter mot Syrien som kallar sig ”Syriens vänner” (!) ska samlas till ett möte i Tunisien om ett par dagar. Det låter hotfullt, vad för slags planer tänker man koka ihop nu? Ett stort antal legokrigare uppges ha samlats ihop i Jordanien och på andra ställen runt Syrien. Samtidigt planerar Amnesty för en kampanjdag för Nordafrika och Mellanöstern den 10:e mars, i Sverige och troligen också i andra länder.
Mina farhågor är då att något stort planeras för i början av mars, en offensiv med attacker som kanske toppas med en attack med kemiska vapen som medierna kommer att skylla Syriens ledning för. Vilket då ska användas som förevändning för att västländerna ska ingripa militärt?
Kan t.ex. tillfångatagandet av en grupp fransmän som det rapporteras om i ett inslag från voltairenet.org som jag länkar till nedan hjälpa syrierna att förhindra sådana eventuella planer?

For his part, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said that Moscow has ”confirmed information” that the Syrian opposition has been receiving weapons and money from abroad, calling for refraining from such activities which ignite internal conflict and further inflame it.
In press statements broadcast by Russia Today TV, Gatilov expressed his country’s concern over what is being circulated on preparing scenarios for foreign intervention in Syria despite official denials of this matter.

Made in Jordan: Thousands of gunmen preparing to enter Syria?

Over 10,000 Libyans are reportedly being trained in a closed-off zone in Jordan, before being snuck into Syria to fight for the opposition. These men are allegedly paid around US$1,000 a month, funded by Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
Jordan-based AlBawaba news website says most of the gunmen who are being trained are actually part of the Libyan armed opposition, who have not had the chance to lay down arms following the toppling of Muammar Gaddafi’s regime.
The allegations of funding from Riyadh and Doha were not attributed to anyone, but AlBawaba did draw attention to the fact that both Saudi Arabia and Qatar actively support the Syrian opposition.
At the same time, several Iranian news sources report that some 50 Turkish officers arrested in Syria last week have confirmed that they were trained by the Israeli Special Forces to carry out insurgent acts against the Syrian government and President Bashar al-Assad.
…
Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, post-war Libya, Turkey, Israel – this list of countries drawn into conspiracy media speculation would be incomplete without recent remarks from the Russian Foreign Ministry.
British MI6 agents have entered the Syrian ground, the Ministry said on Friday.
This is the first time such a declaration has come from a ministry. The media have been boiling with reports on foreign Special Forces training the Syrian opposition since November.
Thus, the Israeli DEBKAfile reported that British and Qatari commandos are instructing the Syrian opposition and supplying them with arms. The French weekly Le Canard Enchaine and Turkish daily Milliyet revealed the presence of French intelligence in the region, also instructing the Free Syrian Army in urban guerrilla techniques. These camps were located in Libya’s Tripoli, southern Turkey and northern Lebanon, read the reports.
The Syrian government has also to deal with Jihadists flocking to the country from neighboring Iraq. According to the Iraqi Interior Ministry, the insurgents are smuggling weaponry across the border to support anti-Assad movement.

voltairenet.org – France’s secret war against the Syrian people

During the assault on the rebel stronghold in the district of Bab Amr in Homs, the Syrian army took more than 1,500 prisoners, mostly foreigners. Of these, a dozen French nationals requested the status of prisoner of war, refusing to give their identity, rank and unit of assignment. One of them is a Colonel working for the DGSE transmission service.
In arming the Wahhabi Legion and feeding it with satellite intelligence, France conducted a secret war against the Syrian army, which caused the death of more than 3,000 deaths among the military, and that of more than 1,500 civilians in ten months of fighting.
This information was partially revealed by Thierry Meyssan during an appearance on the top Russian TV channel, on Monday, 13 February 2012, then in an article published on Tuesday, the 14th, by Komsomolskaya Pravda and finally through a Voltaire Network TV video.
France has sought Russia’s assistance to negotiate with Syria the release of its prisoners of war.

My memory has taken me back to 12 months ago when this crisis began.
We were watching Al-Jazera when it began talking about the demonstrations of Daraa. I cried when I heard that ‘the Syrian forces are supressing the protesters’, ‘5 protesters were killed by the Syrian forces’. I cried because the Libyan blood was still hot and I feard the same thing happening to Libya would happen to Syria, namely NATO will protect the Syrians on its own way. I cried because I was shocked, ‘is this the Syrian leadership!’
Very few days passed, We realized that Al-Jazera was playing a bloody play.
Days passed, youngmen of 18s began shooting randomly in the Syrian streets- I will never forget that day when they began in Lattakia. They were from many Arab countries. Many of them were arrested, others were killed. Many of them were trained by al-qaeda.I cried again when we locked our windows- you live in Syria and you lock your window! I cried because I felt that Syria is lost!
Thanks God! Syria is still here.

After defusing the explosive, it was clear that the explosive filled with heavy-blowup material that will be bombed through remote control and use as anti-tanks.
Meanwhile, another armed group targeted al-Mansour and Abu Bakr al-Sidiq mosques in downtown Daraa with RPGs in a flagrant continuation to the terrorists’ criminal mind in order to attribute these acts to the Syrian Army.
The armed group also hit with RPGs a school and medical center, causing grave damages to the school, Fortunately there were no persons or students at the time of aggression.

Ronda Hauben – Using the UN General Assembly to Justify War and ”Regime Change” in Syria

One of the most comprehensive statements of what is happening both in Syria and at the United Nations was presented by Ambassador Maria Rubiales de Chamorro of Nicaragua on Monday. (2) Her statement deserves serious attention. Following is a summary of her presentation.
The Nicaraguan Ambassador explained that at a Summit meeting of ALBA in early February, an analysis of the situation in Syria was discussed and a condemnation was issued of the policy of the interference in the domestic affairs of Syria, as well as the effort to destabilize Syria.
Also ALBA condemned what it called “armed violence by irregular groups supported by foreign powers against the Syrian people.”
Calling for a return to calm in Syria and support for peaceful reform and national dialogue, she referred to the steps being taken by the government of Syria to arrive at a political solution to the conflict.
But what is interfering with such efforts, she explained, is the fact that the “same script that the forces of NATO and their allies implemented in Libya” is now being applied to Syria.
Ambassador Rubiales de Chamorro pointed to the actions of NATO and its allies against Libya where “these same actors carried out the same practices and policies”.
The “play” in process against Syria that she described, included several acts. She listed these acts as:
1)Provocation
2)Arming of Terrorists
3)Military Intervention
4)Destruction of the Country
5)Juicy Contracts for the Reconstruction of that country that they themselves have destroyed
The Ambassador called on other members of the UN to make clear that “we do not share the hypocritical view of life that is now being labeled R2P.” (Responsibility to Protect)
R2P, she said, “cannot be allowed to become a devious argument to justify foreign intervention in the domestic affairs of states.”
She explained that the Arab League Observer Mission Report had documented that Syria had complied with the protocol setting up the mission and the Arab Plan of Action.(3)
The Syrian government withdrew members of the military from the streets. It released thousands of detainees who had not been involved in acts of violence. It facilitated the work of the foreign media. But yet the very report documenting these conclusions is “now being swept under the carpet,” she noted.

Basel Mohaisen and Lizzie Phelan – Western declarations of humanitarian assistance are declarations of war

.. an unofficial military intervention began a year ago when NATO planted its experts in the Turkish province of Hatai in order to train and supply weapons and financial and logistical support to insurgents who would cross the border into Syria. This is in addition to the other key supply route through the Lebanese border, particularly between Tripoli and Homs.

We have information about centering British and Qatari military members directing the war in Homs.
…
The arrest operation of French Forces in #Zabadani has been confirmed. The French battalion was composed of 160 soldiers, including three officers, all of whom were arrested by the Syrian army. The battalion was specialised in signals and frequencies infiltration. More to the point, massive operations rooms were found inside a villa in #Bloudan.

Lisa Karpova – The west, Turkey and the UN are terrorist supporters

How can there be any sort of ”political solution” when they have ordered the opposition not to negotiate under any circumstances with the Assad government?
It’s rather obvious what’s going on. These ”opposition” individuals are playing a power game where they hope that the west will send foreign troops in to give them the ”gift” of power and money.
Then Syria can be turned into a no man’s land where no one is safe, just like they did to Libya with that NTC terrorist gang. And they would all be competing with each other, as in Libya, to see which gang of criminals will please and provide for western interests the best.
…
Turkey is in charge of providing terrorist groups with information on Syrian troop movements. Turkish ‘intelligence’ conducts radio-electronic reconnaissance on Syrian military communications as well.
Seven Turkish intelligence officers were arrested in Syria. They confessed that they have been trained in special assassinations, bombing and explosions operations by the Mossad in Israel.
Additionally, a month ago, 49 Turkish intelligence officers were arrested in Syria. Seven of them are high ranking officers of ‘intelligence’ services of Turkey.
A recent incident being fradulently reported by western media has that ”Syrian” forces fired on a funeral. Interestingly, the funeral was for martyrs from among Syrian forces killed by terrorists, and the shooters were these so-called defectors, attempting to blame the incident on the Assad government once again and so it goes, one false flag after another, after another.

Det där sista stycket i citatet är ett intressant exempel på den vanliga propagandan, om det nu är som Karpova säger, vilket är troligt. Så här lät Ekots inslag om det – Skottlossning upplöste protester i Damaskus – ”Syriska styrkor ska ha öppnat eld för att bryta upp en demonstration och skadat minst fyra personer, enligt vittnen som Reuters talat med.”
Som sagt, om Karpovas uppgifter är riktiga, så är det nog precis så här det typiskt har gått till med mediarapporteringen. En begravning av de som dödats av terroristerna, och den beskjuts av ännu fler terrorister. Och medierna gör om det till att syriska styrkor skjuter mot demonstranter, och att de som begravdes var ”tre ungdomar som dödats i en av de största demonstrationerna i huvudstaden.” Det kanske var tre ungdomar som dödats, men dessa tillhörde kanske militären eller polisen och dödades av terrorister!
Detta måste innebära en begravning av de korrupta propagandamedierna.

Ett inlägg på maverablogg.wordpress.com ger nog en riktig bild av vad som pågår i Syrien – Syrien: mot vem strider regeringsstyrkorna?

De viktigaste målen för ”den fria armén” är att skapa en kontrollerbar zon, en bas – en “syrisk Benghazi” för att begära erkännande av det internationella samfundet. Plus vill de så kaos i Syrien, störa valet, störa förhandlingsprocessen, gör allt för att förhindra fred i landet genom reformer. Den grundläggande strategin är att skapa ett ”kontrollerat kaos” i landet. För att uppnå detta ordnar de sabotage vid statliga industrianläggningar, genomför individuella och massterror, lägger ut minor och sprängladdningar, attackerar militära enheter och polisstationer.

USA flyger med spiondrönare över Syrien! Inget annat än onda avsikter kan ligga bakom. Har man sett till att detta blivit känt och spritt för att senare kunna komma och säga att man har bildbevis på att syriska regeringen ligger bakom attacker med kemiska vapen mot befolkningen?

‘Syrian govt. legally allowed to target US drones flying over Syria’ – video ‘Syria has right to target US spy drones’

Sveriges Radio Ekot påstår att Kina kovänder vad gäller Syrien, något ligger säkert bakom ett sånt påstående, även om det är vinklat och förljuget, Ekot är ju informationskanal åt de makter som är fientliga mot Syrien. Har Kina blivit hotade med något riktigt djävulskt?

Escobar: ‘Al-Qaeda agents worm into Syrian rebel army’

nyhetsbanken.se – Två iranska krigsfartyg in i Medelhavet, ”Enligt Reuters passerade två iranska örlogsfartyg Suezkanalen efter att ha inhämtat tillstånd från de egyptiska myndigheterna på torsdagen.
Förmodligen är de på väg för att hålla militära övningar tillsammans med den syriska flottan.”

Russia Today – ‘US thinks it can use Al-Qaeda temporarily in Syria’

18 feb

Nu dyker det upp på ännu ett ställe, det här med varningar för att kemiska vapen ska användas för attacker i Syrien som sen ska skyllas på regeringen. I den här artikeln – Read the News About Syria From a Different Angle – sägs att rysk underrättelsetjänst ska ha avlyssnat samtal där det framgick att FSA (Free Syrian Army) hade planer på att använda kemiska vapen och ställa till med en massaker och skylla den på syriska militären.

Ett citat av Sarkozy i samma artikel: ”vi kan inte ha en revolution mot Syriens regering utan det syriska folket.” Vet inte riktigt i vilket sammanhang ha sa det, men håller han också på som Bildt, att säga ”vi” hela tiden? Vilka vi? Men det är kanske också ett tecken på västs ändrade strategi, man ändrar i manuset från att ha spelat föreställningen ”folkligt uppror med demonstranter som dödas av en brutal diktator”, håller man nu på att byta till ”inbördeskrig mellan olika religiösa grupperingar”, som tidigare gått upp i bl.a. Irak. Presentation av föreställningen HÄR.

Jag vet inte riktigt hur Thierry Meyssan menade i den artikel jag länkade till för två dagar sen, att väst slutade ge de väpnade grupperna stöd i och med Rysslands och Kinas veto i FN för två veckor sen. Men av allt att döma ändrar man bara strategi. Sveriges Radio Ekot har betett sig lite annorlunda den här veckan, ett par inslag från Damaskus där människor som stöder presidenten har fått komma till tals och getts ganska stort utrymme. Det kan vara ett försök att passa på och lappa på Ekots anseende och trovärdighet innan nästa offensiv sätts in. Och man var igång idag igen med stora rubriker om hur hemskt läget var och hur brutalt regeringsstyrkorna slår till mot de som de kallar för regimmotståndare. Vad för slags vapen dessa grupper har tillgång till framgår av den artikel jag länkade till i förra inlägget!
Webster Tarpley varnar i en intervju idag för att någon sorts spektakulära attacker kan komma som skylls på Syriens ledning för att kunna ge motiv för ett anfall från USA/NATO. När dessa inte får igenom det de önskar i FN brukar de finna andra vägar för att få sin vilja igenom menar Tarpley.
Kanske en attack med kemiska vapen? Jag har tagit upp det tidigare, uppgifter om att just kemiska vapen ska ha flyttats från Libyen till Turkiet nära gränsen till Syrien. Och i den artikel från nyhetsbanken.se jag länkat till nedan dyker detta med kemiska vapen upp igen! Se upp!

Clapper, som är ”Director of National Intelligence”, medger alltså den besvärande närvaron av al-Qaida i en oppositionsrörelse som stöds med pengar och vapen av USA:s allierade Saudiarabien och Qatar.
Clapper sade att han förväntade sig att Al-Qaidas roll, växande klyftorna inom rebellernas led och förekomsten av kemiska vapen kommer att ”påverka diskussionen om att komma till någon hjälp” åt oppositionen.

truthout.org, 26 jan – NATO and CIA Covertly Arming Syrian Rebels in Order to Weaken Iran

The group of intelligence specialists warns him not to launch a war against Iran. ‘We are seeing a replay of the “Iraq WMD threat.”’ It’s a sound argument, and one that I expand on in my book The Next War. This group of experts concludes the letter with this sentence: ‘We are currently winding down what you labeled a “dumb war;” we should not undertake another dumb war against a country almost three times larger than Iraq, that would set off a major regional war and create generations of jihadis. Such a war, contrary to what some argue, would not make Israel or the U.S. safer.’

Viktor Reznov – Syria: Who Arms the Gang Called “Free Syrian Army”?

The US Foreign Policy magazine said in an article devoted to the Syrian situation that NATO intervention in Libya in compliance with the UN sanctions and funded by Qatar can be repeated in Syria now; the USA and its allies are already on the way implementing the scenario by arming the Free Syrian army. The American author views it as pursuing the «responsibility to protect» (1) policy.
…
About 600 «Allah warriors» from the Libyan Al Kaida wing joined the ranks of Turkey based «Free Syrian army» in November last year (2). They were headed by Abdelhakim Belhadj who is a suspect in the Madrid March 11 2004 terrorist acts according to former prime minister of Spain Maria Asnar (3). Al-Mahdi Hatari, a Libyan by origin, who had lived in Ireland till he joined the Al Kaida’s ranks, was seen near the Turkish border. He headed the Tripoli brigade and was number two after Belhadj in the Tripoli’s the Libya Military Council (4). Hatari resigned saying he wanted to return to his wife in Ireland, but went to Turkey instead to go to Syria as a militants group commander
…
Militant terrorist groups are the main force of those who apply efforts to destroy Syria after doing the same thing in Libya. The Report of the League of Arab States Observer Mission to Syria (11) made public in January 2012 and ignored by the West, says there is no government organized repression against peaceful protesters leading to losses of live but the armed gangs explode transport, state offices, bridges and communications. They are directly responsible for civilian deaths.

Dmitriy Sedov – Churchill’s Shadow in UN

Now Ban Ki-moon turned to Syria. The Winston’s shadow is behind his back again. It’s not worth to list all accusations addressed to the president of Syria president Assad, they all come from the ideological pottage boiling in the NATO’s kitchen. The main idea is that Assad is an enemy of Syrian people and the whole human kind. He should be dealt with. And elegance shouldn’t be forgotten. Not a word about an armed intervention.
At the same time the Secretary General pays no attention whatsoever on the Syrian armed opposition. Is he not the one who should make clear what its numbers are, where arms and other supplies come from etc?

Russia to reject UN resolution on Syria

Moscow will not back a UN General Assembly draft resolution over the month-long unrest in Syria, an unnamed Russian source has revealed.
”In its current form the draft is of an unbalanced character and does not consider our position,” the source told the Interfax news agency on Thursday.
The comment was made ahead of a vote expected later on Thursday on the draft proposed by Arab states.

En intervju med en svensk-syrier – ”Syrierna vill ha demokrati – inte utländsk inblandning”

Saliba Mourad, bosatt i Sverige sedan drygt tjugo år, blir glad när Proletären kontaktar honom. Han menar att de stora mediernas bild av vad som händer i hans hemland inte alls stämmer med verkligheten.
– al-Jazira, al-Arabiya, France24, BBC och svenska medier talar om regimens massakrer, men de säger ingenting om alla de oskyldiga civila som dödas av beväpnade gäng och terrorister. al-Jazira och övriga medier borde visa vad som händer, inte fabricera nyheter. Det är inte syriska armén som gör livet svårt för det syriska folket.

voltairenet.org – Free ”Syrian” Army stronghold equipped with Milan missiles – enligt det här inlägget hade de väpnade grupper som belägrade staden Homs, som kampen har stått om nu ett par veckor, tillgång till Milan-missliler. De hade satt upp en station med sådana vapen på varje stor väg in mot staden. Vart och ett av dessa vapen kostar 100 000 euro och varje missil 12 000 euro, ca 100 000 kr, och det avfyrades 2 till 3 sådana per minut. De tillverkas i Frankrike och Tyskland, och har troligen levererats till ”the free Syrian army” av Storbritannien och Tyskland.
Samma sorts vapen sägs ha levererats till ”rebellerna” i Libyen förra året.

Det är ju ganska sensationellt om det är som Thierry Meyssan säger, enligt honom innebar Rysslands veto i FN att USA/väst gav upp sitt stöd till de väpnade grupperna i Syrien – End of game in the Middle East – Kan det verkligen vara så??

For eleven months, the Western powers and the Gulf States have lead a campaign to destabilize Syria. Several thousand mercenaries infiltrated the country. Recruited by agencies in Saudi Arabia and Qatar within the Sunni extremist community, they came to overthrow the ”usurper Alawite” Bashar al-Assad and impose a Wahhabi-inspired dictatorship. They have at their disposal the most sophisticated military equipment, including night vision systems, communication centers, and robots for urban warfare. Supported secretly by the NATO powers, they also have access to vital military information, including satellite images of Syrian troop movements, and telephone interceptions.
This has been falsely portrayed to the Western public as a political revolution crushed in blood by a ruthless dictatorship.
…
However, the low intensity war that the Western press and the Gulf have hidden behind this masquerade came to an end with the double veto by Russia and China on 4 February 2012. NATO and its allies were ordered to cease fire and withdraw, at the risk of sparking a war on a regional, or even global, scale.
On 7 February, a large Russian delegation, including the highest ranking foreign intelligence officials, arrived in Damascus where it was greeted by cheering crowds, aware that Russia’s return to the international scene marked the end of their nightmare. The capital, but also Aleppo, the second largest city, were decked out in white, blue, red, and people marched behind banners written in Cyrillic. At the presidential palace, the Russian delegation joined those of other states, including Turkey, Iran and Lebanon. A series of agreements were reached to re-establish peace. Syria has returned 49 military instructors captured by the Syrian army. Turkey intervened to obtain the release of the abducted Iranian engineers and pilgrims, including those held by the French (incidentally, Lieutenant Tlass who sequestered them on behalf of the DGSE was liquidated). Turkey has ceased all support for the ”Free Syrian Army,” closed down its facilities (except the one on the NATO base at Incirlik), and turned over its commander, Colonel Riad el-Assad. Russia, which is the guarantor of the agreements, has been allowed to reactivate the former Soviet listening base on Mount Qassioum.
The next day, the US State Department informed the Syrian opposition in exile that it could no longer count on its military aid. Realizing that they have betrayed their country to no avail, the Syrian National Council members went in search of new sponsors. One of them even went so far as to write to Benjamin Netanyahu asking him to invade Syria.

Russia can support a U.N. General Assembly resolution on Syria if the document takes into account Moscow’s position, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
“We will proceed from the contents of the resolution. If our position is taken into account, we will discuss measures to reach a consensus,” Lavrov said on Wednesday.
“If the logic of the resolution is one-sided and if the resolution ignores people’s killings by the Syrian opposition, the resolution will not help,” the Russian minister said.
The U.N. General Assembly will discuss the resolution on Syria on Thursday, February 16.

 

Syria’s authorities have no plans to conduct talks with the armed groups, Syrian ambassador to Russia Riyad Haddad said on Wednesday.
“We are ready to hold talks with the systemic opposition, but as far as terrorist groups and mercenaries are concerned we apply the following principle – those, who carry weapons, should be talked with through the use of weapons,” he said.
“We cannot conduct talks with people who kill civilians, including teachers, scientists and outstanding personalities,” Haddad said. “We see such a solution to the crisis – on the one hand, we continue to carry out reforms, and on the other hand – to resist these armed groups.”
“Armed terrorists, who get financing from the outside, rage in the country; they kill civilians, undertake sabotage attacks on infrastructure and statehood,” the envoy said. “In fact, Syria counteracts terrorism.”
The diplomat noted that “most groups are formed of Al-Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood terrorists as well as mercenaries and criminals.”
“Among them are citizens of other countries as well as paperless persons, who are evidently not Syrians,” he said. “These groups comprise several thousand people.” Itar-Tass

 

Syria, Homs / An armed terrorist group launched a sabotage attack at 03:00 dawn against a diesel pipeline passing nearby Baba Amr and Sultanieh Neighborhoods in Homs.
The 12-inch diameter pipeline, is affiliated to Homs Fuel Company and supplies Adra warehouses which contributes in ensuring diesel fuel to Damascus and the Southern region.
