Geneva talks a good chance of progress on Syria: Lavrov
Intervju med Michel Chossudovsky på Press TV – ‘Covert war waged against Syria’
This has been documented in numerous reports that the killing of civilians is the work of the US/NATO sponsored death squads, which are set loose inside Syria.
Matt Carr – US and its allies are more interested in stoking the violence in Syria than preventing it, Western governments are continuing to pour petrol onto the Syrian conflict while talking the language of peace and democracy and their desire to ‘stop the bloodshed’.

Christof Lehmann – Kurdish Fractions fight NATO-led Free Syrian Army
Syrian Kurds have good reason to oppose the attempted subversion and stand in solidarity against the foreign backed insurgents which brand themselves Free Syrian Army. What is euphemistically called Free Syrian Army, is in fact a construct with a core consisting of US, NATO, GCC, and Turkish backed Al Qaeda brigades, armed brigades of the Muslim Brotherhood, as well as NATO, GCC, and Turkish Special Forces. The people as well as the political and military fractions of Kurdistan and Syria are aware of, that there is nothing good to be expected from the Free Syrian Army, and in particular, that there is nothing positive to be expected from Turkey, which contrary to Syria maintains a policy of rigorous oppression of Kurdish ethnicity, identity, culture and political influence.
Lavrov to Clinton: We will not support any imposition of recipes
However, Russia categorically opposes the idea that other countries should dictate the future of Syria, believing that the decision is up to Syrians themselves.
”We will not support and cannot support any meddling from outside or any imposition of recipes. This also concerns the fate of Syria,” Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on the eve of the meeting.

Nu när Nato genom Turkiet ökat spänningen mot Syrien genom provokationen med flygplanet som sköts ner, vad händer nu? En ny incident som tänder gnistan på allvar? Problemet för Nato, som Lehmann säger, är att försöka att få det att inte se alltför uppenbart ut att det är en upptrappning man söker för att kunna nå det mål man haft hela tiden, att förstöra Syrien som självständigt och oberoende land.

Bill Van Auken – US-BACKED GUNMEN BEHIND IKHBARIYA TV MASSACRE
Killed in the early morning attack on Ikhbariya TV, located in a southern suburb of Damascus, were three journalists and four security guards. The attackers fired automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades at the security guards before ransacking the satellite station’s offices and studios and then setting powerful explosive devices that reduced the buildings to broken and burning rubble.
An outside wall of one of the buildings was splattered with blood, where the station’s employees had been bound, forced to their knees and then executed in cold blood.
The assault on Ikhbariya TV came just one day after the European Union issued new sanctions on sections of Syria’s state-run media, and followed the move earlier this month by the Arab League to force two Pan-Arab satellite companies to black out Syrian channels.
Ryskt uttalande (från Aukens artikel) om en FN-rapport som säger att man inte kommit fram till vilka som låg bakom massakern i Houla i slutet av maj:
He added: “State institutions and infrastructure facilities are attacked practically on a daily basis. A mine war is in full swing. Militants commit bloody terrorist acts in Syrian cities.” This violence, Nebenzya said, “is fed with money and weapons from abroad.”

Dan Glazebrook – PEACEFUL AND INDEPENDENT SYRIA: US-NATO and WEST’S GREATEST FEAR
Hence, within days of Kofi Anan’s peace plan gaining a positive response from both sides in late March, the imperialist powers openly pledged, for the first time, millions of dollars for the Free Syrian Army: for military equipment, to provide salaries to its soldiers, and to bribe government forces to defect. In other words, terrified that the civil war in Syria is starting to die down, they are setting about institutionalising it. If violent regime change is starting to look unlikely, the hope instead is to keep the country weak and on its knees by sucking its energy into an ongoing civil war.
…
Nevertheless, the destabilisation agenda is not going according to plan. The internal opposition in Syria is becoming increasingly frustrated with the way things are progressing, and a clear split is emerging between those based outside the country, happy to see Syria consigned to oblivion in order to please their paymasters and further their careers, and those who actually have to live with the consequences.
The reckless attacks carried out by the armed militias are increasingly alienating even those who once had some sympathy for them, especially as their foreign membership and direction is being exposed ever more clearly. Having been proven unable to win and hold territory, these militias are turning to hit- and-run guerrilla tactics. But the guerrilla, as Mao put it, is like a fish that can only survive in a sea of popular support. And that sea is rapidly drying up.
Jorge Capelan and Toni Solo – From Nicaragua to Syria – Journalism is dead, long live psy-warfare …
The conflicts in Libya and Syria demonstrated that most progressive and radical currents of political opinion will readily collaborate with NATO psy-warfare campaigns against target countries. In general almost all progressive opinion is intimidated by the completely bogus rhetoric of human rights and democracy deployed by the NATO country psy-warfare machinery. The most common expression of this is for the representatives of progressive opinion to try and seek a neutral position that in practice facilitates NATO aggression against its target countries.
VIKTIG OCH VÄRDEFULL ARTIKEL, Joyce Chediac – The U.S. and Syria: Facts you should know
Washington has funneled money to a right-wing Syrian opposition group since at least 2005. (Washington Post, April 16, 2011)
The U.S. reopened its embassy in Damascus in January 2011 after six years. This was no thaw in relations. The new ambassador, Robert S. Ford, who served until October 2011, is a protégé of John Negroponte, who organized death squads in El Salvador in the 1970s and in Iraq while ambassador there in 2004-05. There terror squads killed tens of thousands. Ford served directly under Negroponte at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.
Ford “played a central role in laying the groundwork within Syria as well as establishing contacts with opposition groups.” Two months after he arrived in Damascus, the armed insurgency began. (Global Research, May 28)
Armed opposition to Bashar al-Assad began in March 2011 in Daraa, a small town on the Jordanian border. Mass protest movements usually start in large population centers. Later, Saudi Arabia admitted sending weapons to the opposition via Jordan. (RT, March 13) …..

Frågan är hur mycket sanning som ligger i Nato-mediernas påståenden om att ”rebellerna” kontrollerar stora delar av landsbygden i Syrien. Enligt Christof Lehmann är ett problem för syriska militären att de väpnade grupperna genomför sina attacker från områden där civila bor, vilket gör det svårt att komma åt dom.
Christof Lehmann – NATO Secretary General Carefully Chosen Words of Disinformation as War Intensifies
It has been well established since latest August 2011 that NATO had Special Forces on the ground in Syria, waging a covert, undeclared and illegal war on Syria. (1)
The War on Syria is waged by a coalition of NATO, Israel, GCC member states, the Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeda, and indirectly Hamas. It has been actively prepared and implemented since at least 2010. (2) (3)
On Friday the NATO member Turkey committed a an additional blatant violation of international law when it violated Syrian Airspace and Syrian Territorial Waters.
The Turkish Phantom F4 was not shot down by a missile, but by a ground-based anti-aircraft machine gun with a maximum range of 2.5 kilometers.
Syrian authorities have delivered the wreckage to Turkish Authorities together with a report.
Bullet holes at the tail end of the airplanes show that the F4 was hit at the tail end and subsequently lost it´s ability to remain airborne. It also shows that Syria did not use a missile but ground based anti aircraft machine gun fire, after visual contact was established.
When fire was opened on the F4 it flew at an altitude of 100 meters and with a speed of 800km/h.
Syria has offered Turkey to form a joint military technical committee and visit the site of the event to help clarify eventual Turkish doubts. (4)
While the world media focus on the riveting question if NATO will invoke Article Five against Syria, a coordinated assault on key government buildings in Damascus was initiated by NATO led insurgents. (5)

Press TV has conducted an interview with Abayomi Azikiwe, director of the Pan-African News Wire, from Detroit
A report has quoted some US and Arab intelligence officials as saying ”CIA officers are operating secretly in southern Turkey,” helping anti-Syria opposition groups.
The New York Times report noted that CIA officers are helping to decide which gangs inside the Arab coiuntry will ”receive arms to fight the Syrian government.”
The report added that Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar have paid for the transport of weaponry into Syria.
Syria has recently said in a statement, ”The US administration is pushing forth with its flagrant interference in Syria’s internal affairs and its backing of armed terrorist groups.”
The statement also condemned Washington for ”distorting the truth and what is happening on the ground while encouraging armed terrorist groups to carry out more massacres… throughout the country.”

You allow your territory to be used to arm terrorists to destabilise a sovereign nation, send a Phantom F-4 military assault aircraft flying fast and low into that country’s territorial waters (not to test Turkish radar but yes, to test the Syrian anti-aircraft system) and then when it is shot down, run crying to NATO because you got your nose smacked in?

Scott Creighton – Israel, NATO’s Little Helper: The Overlooked Player in the Syrian Destabilization Campaign
Israel’s involvement in the terrorist centered destabilization campaign is extensive to say the least and their motives to assist in the NATO efforts are just as obvious.
Israel has more than a few prime motivations to see that the current regime in Syria is overthrown and replaced by a puppet regime friendly to the west and Israel in particular. The first and foremost, is the survival of Israel itself and this has nothing to do with some existential threat posed by Syria.

Jet Escalation: ‘Turkey probing Syrian anti-air defense’
Syria Scenario-News Analysis-06-21-2012
A recent report from the mainstream daily newspaper New York Times has gone into detail as to how the CIA is facilitating arms and other assistance to armed groups in Syria, and it’s doing it on Turkish soil, near the borders with Syria. Damascus has always been very vocal that Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia were assisting, funding and arming armed groups operating on the Syrian soil.
Webster Tarpley på Press TV – NATO arming, financing al-Qaeda death squads in Syria: Author
That was a false-flag event. That was a massacre that was portrayed by the corrupt media as being a war crime of the Assad regime. In fact it was not. It was primarily, 90 percent of it, the activity of these death squads. They tried to false-flag and they couldn’t get anything out of that.
What they added today was the attempt at a Gulf of Tonkin incident, that is to say the story of the Turkish-NATO fighter jet supposedly shot down, brought down or coming down either in the Mediterranean or on Syrian territory, two people on board, their status uncertain; Erdogan of Turkey saying he’s looking into it.
That could easily flip into an incident like the famous, fake, Gulf of Tonkin incident of 1964 that started the Vietnam War. The US government will tell you now in retrospect that the Gulf of Tonkin incident never occurred — too bad if you died in Vietnam.
This time, though, it would be Turkey turning to NATO and saying ‘invoke Article 5, help us, we’re under attack by Syria.’ It’s absurd. It looks like, if anything, the Turkish plane is violating Syrian airspace; but that is obviously the great danger of escalation.
At that point, the ball would go back in the Russian court. What are you going to do about it? Are you going to let your only ally in the area be the target of NATO aggression of will you retaliate in some way? This remains to be seen.

Did the Syrian pilot willingly defect or did he have ”incentive” to do so?
Is his family under rebel protection. Or has his family been kidnapped? Being spun as ”protection” Is his family being held hostage by the NATO backed rebels??
The rebels are vicious, without a doubt. Therefore, it is not a stretch to believe the pilot undertook the ”defection” to save his family.

Syria: The Assassination Campaign And Its Historic Example
They also wage a silent assassination campaign by death squadrons who, day by day, kill more or less prominent Syrian intellectuals and functionaries who support the Syrian government. That campaign has been going on for many months now without any western media reporting on it. A typical recent incident:
Brigadier Ghassan Abu al-Dahab, a doctor and the head of the Harasta clinic, was assassinated in front of his house in Damascus by the blast of an explosion device that was planted under his car, Syria’s Arab News Agency SANA said.
The assassination came as part of a series of attempts made recently against senior army officers.
Another Syrian, Abdul-Qoudous Jbarah, was killed in his house in the Damascus suburb of Sayeda Zainab, said SANA, adding that terrorists broke into his house Wednesday and shot him and wounded his brother.
The Syrian news agency SANA calls this a campaign against ”national and scientific expertise and intellectuals”:
In the framework of targeting the national and scientific expertise and intellectuals, an armed terrorist group on Monday assassinated Doctor Adnan Tawfik al-Samitt in Daraa.
SANA reporter quoted a source at Daraa Province as saying that the armed terrorist group shoot dead Dr. al-Samitt with their machineguns near his house at al-Qusour Neighborhood in Daraa city.

We are sending no battleships to Syria. We have been saying publicly that we have been implementing contracts under which we have to supply arms to Syria. Those armaments are entirely defensive and they mostly consist of air defense systems, which cannot be used against the population and can only be used to respond to outside aggression.

Grundat på erfarenheterna från Libyen, där ett Nato-lett krig utspelades under den snarlika parollen ”Gaddafi måste gå”, kan man dra följande slutsatser:
– Vem som ska styra Syrien från presidentposten i framtiden är inte uteslutande en fråga för Syriens folk. Territorialrätten upphävs därmed liksom FN-stadgan och det mesta av folkrätten tillbaka till westfaliska freden och längre.
– Bashar Assad ska inte ställas inför rätta, utan mördas i en kloak i Damskus utlkanter av Nato:s kommandosoldater.
– Landets riksbank ska utbjudas till högstbjudande.
– Landets energiresurser måste privatiseras och utbjudas till angloamerikanska jättar.
– Landets regering ska bildas av en hoprafsad samling ”muslimska” terrorister (i Libyen al Qaida bl.a, i Syrien salafiter/wahabbiter).
– Tusentals regeringstjänstemän ska torteras, lemlästas och arkebuseras godtyckligt. Det MI6-styrda Amnesty lovar att tiga.

Väpnade gäng har ett stort antal civila som gisslan i Homs. Christoph Hörstel – Homs rebels: Army must leave, or we’ll start killing civilians
Syrian officials say up to 5000 civilians have been ‘taken hostage’ in Homs, the cradle of the Syrian uprising. The Syrian army refuses to bargain with the insurgents mingled with ‘terrorists’ in the city in Syria’s west, and has not started an assault. The army has halted operations, in order not to cause loss of life among the ‘hostages’.
However, Homs’s area is completely surrounded and is being monitored by the army. The same Syrian officials state that what appears on international media as Homs demonstrators are in fact these ‘hostages’.
For the last three days ‘terrorists’ have been trying to infiltrate across the Lebanese border, but face gunfights with the regular army supported by Iranian commandos. Infiltrating mercenaries try to move directly to Damascus, but suffer heavy losses already at the borders, say Syrian officials.
As more details arrive from Syria about foreign involvement, the NGO “Medecins Sans Frontieres”(MSF) is being accused its personnel have a ”dual use” in the battles. At times, regime’s forces are unable to discern between fighters and paramedics, which has lead to MSF staff being killed or seized in government’s security operations across the Arab country.
En intervju med Buthaina Shaaban, rådgivare till Syriens president. Från Russia Today – ‘Tell Brits to remove Cameron and see what happens’ – Assad’s adviser
Bouthaina Shaaban: It is irresponsible to say that Syria is in a state of civil war, especially as we’re fighting terrorism. I think some media have a war on Syria.
RT: Do you think there can be trust restored between the western media and the Syrian government or will this media war only escalate?
BS: There are hundreds of journalists who came to Syria during the crisis. It is not true that we don’t give access to foreign journalists. Foreign journalists from all over the world came to Syria. But also there are satellite channels that made themselves part of the war on Syria, inciting sectarian violence, fabricating facts about what is happening in our country.
RT: But the media war itself – can it do any damage?
BS: The media war can do a lot of damage. Because when you have some religious man inciting sectarian hatred among the Syrian people – there are many people who fall victim to this incitement. Unfortunately, media wars have proved to be very effective throughout history.
RT: Do you feel like the Syrian government could lose in this conflict because of the media war?
BS: I don’t think so. Not to this extent but definitely it is costing lives of our people.
RT: We often see, especially lately, the Syrian government pointing the finger at others for supplying guns to terrorists. Who are these “others”, could you name the countries?
BS: I don’t know but I would like to say that the Syrian government is not the issue. The issue is Syria, the unity, the safety, the sovereignty and prosperity of Syria.
RT: Your surely have your own, not official, vision of those who are helping those terrorists to kill peaceful people?
BS: Even the UN observers say there are groups in every area (of Syria), and nobody knows who these people are. We don’t know to whom they belong, and who are their leaders. This is the most important problem in Syria: you don’t know who your adversary is.
RT: The UN is critical to safeguard Syria against a military invasion. How big is the threat of foreign intervention in Syria?
BS: The UN observers have made many statements that the Syrian government cooperated very well. They did not stop, they suspended their mission. We also fear for their safety, because as the Syrian people are targeted, we’re also afraid that some observers could be targeted by armed groups and we would hate that to happen.
RT: How do you assess the chance of a foreign invasion?
BS: I don’t think that is possible, in a sense. Russia and China double-vetoed (UN resolutions on Syria) twice. Russia has a stand that it is the Syrian people that should decide the future of Syria. I don’t think a military strike (against Syria) is possible. If you look at what happened in Libya or Yemen – you can see the consequences. I think the west is quite aware of what things are in the Middle East. I hope they are people reasonable enough to act very carefully. I think there is no consideration for such a thing.
RT: You do have Russian and Chinese support in the UN Security Council, but it did not help much in the Iraq scenario. They went around a UN Security Council resolution and invaded Iraq. What other means do you have except Russia and China?
BS: I think the west has learnt from the Afghanistan and Iraq experience, and from Libya’s, too. They know that a military strike does not always come with the result they hope for. I think the world is different now and it is no longer a unipolar system. I think that Russia and China now have a say in the international arena to the relief of most people in the world. Because we have suffered from one polar system and we’re happy with the emergence of the bipolar system and the BRICS. The world is changing.
RT: The US and their partners have a perfect, 100 per cent track record when it comes to removing the heads of foreign states that they want to remove. What makes you think that Syria has a different scenario?
BS: Russia has learnt from the Libyan scenario. Russia has changed the political scene of the world by making an excellent stand in support of people who decide their future. Is it democracy when foreign countries decide to move a ruler? Is this the way democracy should work? Or should it be people to decide, I mean in every country, not only Syria. Is it democracy to say to British people “you should move (PM) Cameron”, or is it the British people who should decide? Why does this not apply to Arab countries? Is it because of colonial hegemony and because the west does not believe Arab people are equal to western people and have the right to choose their own system? This is a question I pose. Democracy means people of a country should decide their future and who rules them.
RT: Why does so much weaponry go to Syria? What happens when the conflict is over and we have all these uncontrolled arms on the streets, the way it happened in Libya?
BS: You can’t say that the conflict is over unless all those arms are withdrawn from the streets and people. These arms are part of the conflict and they were smuggled into Syria to ignite the conflict. Smuggling money and arms is a huge part of the problem in Syria.
RT: Can you do something about this at the moment?
BS: The international community should also do something about this. Kofi Annan’s peace plan’s first item is stopping armaments and stopping violence from all parties and in all forms.
RT: Some skeptics say the reason the Syrian government is not allowing a humanitarian corridor in Homs is because it fears along with humanitarian aid will come something else. Is that true?
BS: No, we’ve been cooperating with humanitarian agencies all along but have not seen any humanitarian aid arriving in Syria. We cooperated absolutely in full.
RT: So if the humanitarian corridor opens in Homs right now?
BS: No, there is no need for a humanitarian corridor. Assistance that is coming is being distributed by the Red Cross.
RT:So allegations about people being badly in need of food and medical aid are an exaggeration?
BS: Yes, extremely exaggerated.
RT: You’re on the US blacklist of Syrian officials – how does that feel?
BS: Since 2005 they sent me many invitations from the US – I did not go because I don’t like (the way) they treat people at American airports. They “froze” my assets though I don’t have a single dollar, not just in the US – anywhere in the world. They may freeze as many assets as they like.

And speaking of dead children, Clinton’s terrorist thugs in that country have reportedly killed two more children in a Damascus Countryside.
The terrorists are having some fun now. The list of pipelines and officials they have blown up this past week just grows and grows and not one single US MSM propaganda mill reports on any of it (unless they can find a way to blame it on Assad)

Uppgifter från Christoph Hörstel översatt till svenska på nyhetsbanken.se – Mood spionerar för Nato –
Påståendena har dykt upp i syriska statliga medier, vilket indikerar att säkerhetskretsar har gett sitt samtycke till offentliggörande i Damaskus.
Källor säger att den norske generalen tog en FN-konvoj till staden Tartus i fredags, där inget våld rapporterats. Gruppen besökte inte mindre än fyra militära installationer tillhörande den syriska armén där utan att det finns något UNSMIS-mandat till detta. I Tartus finns en hamnanläggning som Ryssland hyr sedan många år. FN-inspektionen sker samtidigt som Hillary Clinton ställt till bråk om påstådda ryska helikopterleveranser. Storbritannien har nu dragit in sjöförsäkringen för det ryska fartyg i Nordsjön som är på väg till Syrien med några gamla helikoptrar som varit i Ryssland för planenlig reparation.
Dessutom gick general Moods konvoj i fredags också till Rastan, som inte heller är i närheten av striderna. Där körde han raka vägen till den syriska arméns militära installationer, återigen utan någon synbar koppling till Moods mandat.
Syrierna misstänker att geografiska data samlas för ändamål som inte rör UNSMIS – kanske kompletterande data till redan befintliga filer. Syriska tjänstemän misstänker dessutom att Mood letar efter platser där syriska myndigheterna håller krigsfångar. Medborgare från flera Nato-länder hålls fångna av syriska myndigheter. Från Damaskus säger man att de kommer att släppas i samma stund som dessa länder, bl.a. Frankrike medger att de skickats in på hemligt uppdrag i Syrien.
Flera kommentatorer påminner om likheterna med det sätt som FN:s vapeninspektörer (bl.a. svensken Rolf Ekéus) lät sig missbrukas till att spionera åt USA inför anfallet på Irak.
En grupp tyskar anställda av ett säkerhetsbolag tillfångatogs i Tartus för två veckor sedan. Tyskarna har tidigare deltagit i strider i Libyen . De höll på att lossa vapen och ammunition från ett kommersiellt fartyg på internationellt vatten med hjälp av två snabbgående båtar. Syriska analytiker är övertygade om att den tyska regeringen inte driver den verksamheten på egen hand, utan på uppdrag av Washington.
Veronika Krasheninnikova – Los Cabos plan for Syria: Using Russia to oust Assad – Den libanesiska militären, som den 27 april stoppade ett fartyg som var på väg från Libyen till den hamn i Libanon som ligger närmast staden Homs i Syrien full-lastat med vapen, lär ha fått besked av FN’s mellanöstern-representant Terje Rod-Larsen att att låta bli att stoppa fartyg som kommer från Libyen!
“They used to be described as ‘rabble,’ but I would no longer call them that,” says Jeoffrey White, a retired reconnaissance specialist. “What they look like now is an increasingly combat-efficient guerilla force.”
OBS! Nedanstående uppgifter om militärövning förnekas nu av Ryssland – Russia denies planning war games in Syria –
Iran, Russia, China, Syria to hold drill – en stark markering måste man tycka, att Syrien kommer att försvaras mot ev. angrepp.
Citing ”informed sources” the agency said some 90,000 troops from the four countries are expected to participate in land, air and sea maneuvers off the Syrian coast, including air defense and missile units.

Enligt Christoph Hörstel har en offensiv från den syriska militären de senaste 10 dagarna trängt tillbaka de väpnade grupperna på flera håll, och stängt av vägar för införsel av vapen och terrorister.
– Syria: Setback for US interests, UN mission in muddy waters
After successfully sealing Syria’s coastline against the usual influx of supplies for insurgents and terrorists, and also the closure of the Turkish-Syrian border, there has been substantial progress in recent days. Even Idlib, hitherto within easy reach from refugee camp bases inside Turkey, appears mostly cut off now – another major setback for the insurgency.

Inga stora nyhetsrubriker idag heller om Syrien. Är det så att förhandlingar förs mellan USA/väst och Ryssland på G20-mötet som inleds idag? Och kan man hoppas att den libanesiska generalen som citerades i förra inlägget har rätt, att väst har insett att man inte kan nå sina mål?

Saman Mohammadi – Syrians Prepare For A Long NATO Winter
Overthrowing Syria’s current government would be not a democratic or a humanitarian accomplishment. It would be another act of U.S./NATO aggression against a sovereign nation state in the Middle East. Prof. Michel Chossudovsky says, ”The objective of the US sponsored armed insurgency is –with the help of Israel– to ”Break Syria into Pieces.”
…
The NATO-Israeli-Islamist alliance in Syria is not a marriage of convenience with a short honeymoon, but a strategic and political partnership that has been long in the making. The U.S. has destroyed secular governments in the Middle East and replaced them with Islamic fundamentalist regimes to set the stage for a Clash of Civilizations between the West and Islam.
The goals for this secret and long-term policy are clear: 1) reduce the human population, 2) destroy sovereign and independent nation states, and 3) implement an authoritarian world government. Assad is a small victim of this grand vision. It’s a sacred mission that’s been planned to position America against Iran, and Israel against Islam, in a third world war – the last world war of the modern age.

Vem bär ansvaret för terrorn i Syrien?
Terrorn mot det syriska folket är en tragedi. I väst utpekas regimen som skyldig. Men tystnad råder om att USA och Saudiarabien i många år stött islamistiska extremistgrupper – mot Bashar al-Assad och andra ”fientliga” krafter i Syriens närområde. Proletären sätter in dagens syriska konflikt i ett större sammanhang.

6000 Blackwater Mercenaries In And Around Syria Ready To Begin Terror Campaign In Damascus
Général Amin Hoteit –Syria: A Russian messenger missile – ger en ganska hoppfull bild, att risken för ett direkt militärt angrepp från Nato/väst är ganska liten.
…
Consequently, we can deduct that the military war against Syria is rather unlikely and that the terrorist war will not permit the aggressors to achieve their aims. On the contrary, it will generate losses that will wear them down, even if this should take some time. At this stage, we can return to the question asked above: why such an assembly of forces?
In our opinion, the answer lies in the fact that the aggressors’ camp, being aware of its failure, knows that the only way out will be a negotiated and peaceful solution. It also knows, however, that those who sit down at the negotiating table will only receive a share proportional to their gains on the ground and to the cards they hold in their hands. This explains why the aggressors’ camp seeks to assemble as much as possible to render its defeat more tolerable, now that its victory in Syria has entered the realm of fiction and that Russia sent off an invitation to negotiate via a code which can be deciphered by anyone who is familiar with the protocol: a missile which has lifted doubts, dispelled delusions and opened the way to peace.
Enligt Amin Hoteit lyckades man inte blockera syriska medier..
UN suspends Syrian mission; tensions escalate
The latest development in Syria, the suspension of the UN Mission, comes on the heels of intensified efforts by Moscow and the international community to come to a peaceful resolution to the crisis with Moscow’s recent calls for an international conference on Syria.
…
The five permanent members of the UN Security Council are expected to hold talks on the sidelines of the G20 summit in beginning on Monday in Mexico.
Russia will continue to seek a peaceful resolution as it has from the very beginning of the conflict in Syria and apparently the US will continue to use the situation in Syria to increase tensions with the Russian Federation. One has to ask oneself; why?

Christoph Hörstel rapporterar om läget i Syrien enligt sina källor. 2-300 utlänningar tillhörande privata säkerhetsbolag (typ Blackwater) ska ha tagits tillfånga det senaste året, förutom utländsk militärpersonal i hundratal! 40-60 tyskar ska ha tillfångatagits sedan de tagits på bar gärning då de höll på att smuggla in vapen i landet. En fd Guantanamo-fånge som påstås vara ledare för ett terrorist-nätverk finns också häktad. Kanske kommer man att ställa några av dessa utlänningar inför rätta under direktsändning i TV.

Russia denies entering talks on political transition in Syria
But Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Friday rejected the claims, saying that Moscow had not been discussing plans for a political transition in Syria that would include Assad’s departure from power.
”It’s not true that we are discussing Syria’s fate after Bashar Assad. We aren’t dealing with a regime change either through approving unilateral actions at the United Nations Security Council, nor through taking part in some political conspiracies,” Lavrov said following talks with his Iraqi counterpart in Moscow.

”Om det verkligen har sagts, är det inte sant”, kommenterar Lavrov. ”Sådana diskussioner förs inte och kan inte föras eftersom det vore helt i strid med vårt ställningstagande.”
UN monitor chief says Syrian rebels being ”challenged”
Sergey Lavrov – On the Right Side of History – Western propaganda continues to distort Russia’s position in respect of the Syrian crisis. It accuses Moscow of supporting Damascus for profit motives, or even criminal solidarity. In this piece, Sergey Lavrov does not expound on his country’s strategic choices, but rather on the principles that underpin his diplomacy. He responds imperturbably to the inanities spouted by Western media, underscoring Moscow’s commitment to international law and its pledge to support people. Lavrov counterpoints the massive popular support enjoyed by President al-Assad and the illegitimacy of the sectarian armed opposition, sponsored from abroad.
Russia is guided only by such principles with regard to intrastate crises, which explains our position on what is happening in Syria
…
Only by acting in this way we can keep the Middle East from sliding into the abyss of wars and anarchy and thus stay, as it has become fashionable to say, on the right side of history. We are sure that other formulas that involve external intervention in Syria – ranging from blocking TV channels that do not satisfy someone, to increasing arms supplies to opposition groups, to airstrikes – will not bring peace either to that country or to the region as a whole. And that means that those formulas will not be justified by history.

Syrian opposition groups face major internal conflicts
The opposition leaders held a two-day conference in the Turkish city of Istanbul on June 15.
At the end of the conference on Saturday, a member of the SNC told reporters that there are “disagreements” among the opposition groups.
Former SNC leader Burhan Ghalioun said on the first day of the conference that the Syrian opposition groups “will work towards a unified vision,” referring to the disagreements within the opposition.
