On November 15, US Ambassador to Syria James Jeffrey exposed an evil plan of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to create ISIS and to hurl the Middle East, particularly Syria and Iraq, into chaos.
“We also think that you cannot have an enduring defeat of ISIS until you have fundamental change in the Syrian regime and fundamental change in Iran’s role in Syria, which contributed greatly to the rise of ISIS in the first place in 2013, 2014,” Jeffery said during a press briefing.
“The Syrian regime produced ISIS,” the diplomat added saying that the actions of the Damascus government created an opportunity for ISIS to grow.
By these remarks, Mr. Jeffrey just re-invented an old-fashioned propaganda narrative used by the so-called Syrian opposition to explain how it appeared that the main forces opposing the Assad government in Syria is ISIS and al-Qaeda. Then, Western-sponsored pro-opposition media outlets were claiming that the Assad government is somehow guilty that the main opposition to it is the internationally recognized terrorist groups.
In 2018, this narrative became useful for Washington to justify its further military presence in the war-torn country. The US-led coalition is contributing significant efforts to combat ISIS in its last real stronghold in the country – in the Hajin pocket – in a way that would not deliver significant damage to the terrorist group. However, the multi-month operation to defeat ISIS in Hajin cannot last endlessly. Therefore, some new formal pretext to keep troops in Syria will be very useful.
The real goals of the US are to limit the influence of Russia in the region and to assist Israel in its long-standing standoff against Iran.
Meanwhile, in the area of al-Safa where ISIS cells are also presented the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has also temporarily halted its advance on the terrorist group. This time due to poor weather conditions.
The new SAA push designed to put an end to ISIS presence in al-Safa started on November 11. Since then, the SAA had advanced several km deep into the ISIS-held area and captured several new positions. Should the weather improve, the SAA will continue its advance on the terrorists’ positions.
In the so-called Idlib de-escalation zone, northern Hama has been the most hot point where violations of the ceasefire have been reported several times. Particularly, Jaish al-Izza and other militant groups once again attacked SAA positions from the directions of al-Lataminah and al-Zakat.
As shown in this article, the United States has recently used banned weapons to subjugate civilians in Syria:

The use of “fire and brimstone” by U.S. forces in a last minute and desperate attempt to rid Syria of Bashar al-Assad is almost biblical.
Sally, by “almost Biblical” do you mean to imply that Uncle $cam is almost God?
I think that Sally was referring to the images of “fire and brimstone” as “almost biblical” in their metaphorical thrust.

I cannot understand for the life of me why Syria tolerates the presence of this creature.
“US ambassador to Syria”, WTF???
Did the Third Reich have an ambassador to the USSR in 1943?
Spot on,i can’t believe they have one,they should throw that terrorist out right now before he gets shot.
As far as i know they don’t have an embassy. Its, typicall, the americans declared an ambassador without agreement from the syria gov since they considsr it illegitimate
A small but understandable error on SF’s part; Jeffrey’s actual job title is “Special Representative for Syria Engagement”, and he is not stationed in Syria, where the USA has had no ambassador since Damascus severed diplomatic relations in 2012 (and in practice since 2011, when then-Amb. Robert Ford helped launch the so-called civil war & the Obama admin started recognising the “opposition” instead).
Check out Jeffrey’s CV on Wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Franklin_Jeffrey
Career Foreign Service, a member of CFR and WINEP, & has had his fingers in all sorts of nasty US foreign policy pies from the reunification of Germany onwards, including various phases of the dismemberment of Yugoslavia, and of course Iraq, beginning with “Desert Fox” in 1998. And of course has a big hate-on for both Russia and Iran. Nasty neocon swamp-thing, in other words. The kind of creature Trump promised to purge and has promoted instead.
Mass murderers of our own species is a very ancient truth.
The earth has a history of human blood soaked most unfortunate reality.
What can be solved in this time of the “internets” (“George Bush Jr.”)???
The Hundredth Monkey “Theory” must prevail!!!

Thank You Saker for your Vineyard of Cognitive non-dissonance.
Russia (Putin) (MOD) have made it clear to Israel (Bibi) (IDF) that Russia will control Syria and apparently, Lebanon air space, too.
https://sputniknews.com/analysis/201811161069871566-russia-israeli-tensions-over-syria-analysis/
No face-to-face for Bibi. Phone calls are brief and Putin is terse with the war criminal Bibi.
I think Russia is looking for complete contrition and reparations for the lost plane and 15 dead troops killed in the shootdown. An until that occurs, Bibi won’t be going to Moscow any more.
The deconfliction lines are open, but the Russian end is not polite with the Israelis.
The reality has changed in the ME. The Israelis have not digested that fact yet.
L445
That is an interesting article based pretty much entirely upon israeli sources. It gives some useful insight of what the israelis are thinking. They appear to be rather nervous about what may happen next. :-D
I saw the article late last night and was sure I posted it on Saker’s, somewhere here, probably the spam “black hole” ate the comment.(Hi VT, you did post a sputniknews article in MFC early hours of this morning about an Iranian strike in Syria – killing Israeli’s and Saudis. Not the same one. Mod)
The Russians have pooped all over the Zionist masturbatory phantasy of Greater Israel and I wonder if the Israelis will “digest” that fact.

”On November 15, US Ambassador to Syria James Jeffrey exposed an evil plan of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to create ISIS and to hurl the Middle East, particularly Syria and Iraq, into chaos.”
Haha, suchlike pronunciamentos instantly remind me of that very special encounter The Saker brought up here one month ago:
https://thesaker.is/saudi-writer-on-rt-syria-iraq-gulf-states-belong-to-saudi-arabia-english-subtitles/
The dignified Syrian guest in RT’s linked video clip made the astonishing, most perceptive remark about the hideously ugly Saudi specimen he was confronting:
”Notice this goat, how it speaks”
James Jeffrey wouldn’t even qualify as a goat. In his case, a dung beetle would be appreciably more apt for a comparison. Coarsely gluttonous while gorgling on pure excrements.
This is absolutely brilliant. Thank you. The Saudi goat totally lost his mind. Damascus is the oldest capital in the world. Only 80 years ago, the Saudis were eating locusts – to survive.
My pleasure, Alfred!
I should have added also that dung beetles are doing honest work, just like goats. That’s not precisely my verdict on that absolutely gorgeous Saudi gentleman and his Pindo kith and kin, mind you.
One must not forget that the first victims of the saudi dictatorship is the population of arabia.
Because they sure didn’t choose their “leaders” and have never seen a ballot box. And a little research shows you that the saudis(as in the “royal” family) have been bombing and ethnically cleansing their own population (especially the shia) for the past 70 years.
Basically its a modern fiefdom where a wrong breathe or plain made up accusation of one of the higher social class can get you tortured dismembered and killed and your family terrorized and starved and ostracized.
I can’t imagine a worst fate.
Hey Saker would you consider adding to your terminology the saudis used exclusively for the royal family and the higher class that reins the country and arabland or arabistan (like the iranians who refuse to call it saudi arabia and use the proper dawn of man name arabistan, since arab in ancient Arabic originally meant one who follows water) since as I said they are the first and longest suffering victims (despite multiple revolts who always ended in spectacularly bloody massacre)
It’s always a mystery to me why sanctimonious, self-serving, sociopathic buttheads who are the product of a piss-poor educational system like James Jeffrey have no moral courage and that it results in losing on the strategic/moral level of warfare. Wink! Wink!

Russian Jew / Русский Еврей – 2018/09/07
US military to stay in Syria indefinitely
According to James Jeffrey, President Trump approved a new strategy involving military and diplo-
matic efforts
* President Donald Trump, who only five months ago spoke of his desire to “leave” Syria, approved
a new strategy that extends military efforts in this country for an indefinite period and implies a power-
ful diplomatic impetus to achieve the US goals.
* This was announced by Special Envoy James Jeffrey, last month appointed by the Secretary of
State Mike Pompeo on the Syrian issue.
* “The new strategy assumes that we are no longer withdrawing troops by the end of the year,” said
Jeffrey.
* Now there are about 2,200 US troops in Syria. Almost all are engaged in the fight against the “Islamic
state” in the eastern part of the country.
* According to Jeffrey, it was decided that the American troops would stay in the country in order to get
the Iranian forces out of there and the “lasting defeat” of the Islamic State group.
* “This means that we are not in a hurry,” he added.
* The official also noted that there is “a lot of evidence” of chemical weapons preparation by the Syrian government in the Idlib region in northwest Syria.
* “I’m pretty sure that we have good reasons for such warnings,” he said.
* “Any offensive operation causes objections in us, since this is an irresponsible escalation,” he told
reporters. “There is plenty of evidence that chemical weapons are being prepared.”
* Washington strongly warned the Syrian government against the use of chemical weapons during the expected attack on Idlib.
* According to Jeffrey, any operation of the Russian and Syrian forces and the use of chemical wea-
pons will cause a huge influx of refugees to Turkey and the Syrian areas under Turkish control.
* Syrian President Bashar Asad pulled his army and allies to the front line in the northwest, and Rus-
sian planes help him bombard militant positions in the area as a prelude to a possible attack.
* The fate of the rebel stronghold in Idlib province and its surroundings, apparently, depends on the
meeting between the leaders of Russia, Iran and Turkey, which will be held on Friday in Tehran.
* Assad, with the support of Russian aviation in recent years, confidently took one rebel stronghold
after another. The province of Idlib is the only remaining area where there is still armed opposition.
* Jeffrey calls the situation in Idlib “very dangerous” and notes that Turkey, which supports certain
rebel groups in the region, is trying to prevent a massive offensive by the Syrian army.
* “I think the last chapter of the story of Idlib has not yet been written. Turks are trying to find a way out.
Turks strongly oppose attacks, ”he notes.
* According to Jeffrey, the United States repeatedly asked Russia about the possibility of “taking
measures” in Idlib to eliminate the last strongholds of the IG and other extremist groups.
* Responding to a question about whether it involves US air strikes, Jeffrey said: “This is one of the
possible options.”

Interesting cia contradiction to bolton, trump: clown prince was up to his eyeballs in ordering the murder-it seemed impossible to assert anything else but trump and bolton tried. This is wapo, I know, it is the mouthpiece of the cia.
With the same ‘high level’ of confidence that found ‘weapons of mass destruction’ in Iraq? The murder of Khashoggi could only have been with approval of their ‘Master’ . The WAPO branch of the CIA would only make these statements with the approval of their ‘Master’.
US Viceroy to Syria, James Jeffrey, is dead wrong. It’s actually the American regime that produced ISIS.
In general, the Americans specialize in psychological projection whereby they accuse their opponents of crimes that the United States is guilty of to the Nth degree..
It is not a secret that America and its allies have been the nations that are truly guilty of spawning jihadists groups in Syria–not to mention in other countries like Libya et al.
A Special Relationship: The United States is teaming up with Al Qaeda, again

How the US Armed-up Syrian Jihadists
https://consortiumnews.com/2016/09/29/how-the-us-armed-up-syrian-jihadists/
Yes, Jihadi mercenaries are the legacy of that handsome ”Polish joke” Zbigniew Brzezinski — national security advisor during the ”peaceful” Carter regime. In those days, the Jihadis were put to use against the progressive government in Afghanistan which, just like Bashar al-Assad’s government in Syria later on, called for help from Moscow to get rid of the plague. As the years have gone by, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Turkey have become ever more interested parties in Jihadism, given Iran’s steadfastness alongside Lebanon and Syria.
James Jeffrey and his imbecilic platitudes on the subject of ISIS are what you should expect from exceptional, indispensable garbage with a prepared script in front of them. Even more ”impressive” in case he succeeded to learn the tripe by rote, LOL.
Please understand the limits of rationality. We are in the realm of eschatology. There are people everywhere working towards a day X. People who have fervent beliefs. People who ache for a messiah, for agni, for racial purity, for Jerusalem, for the end, and a new beginning. Rationality cannot cope with reality. This reality. War comes. They will make sure of it. And so…you see…time…your time…is short.
Delusions of Grandeur
Look this guy James Jeffrey, whatever his title is, its sure as hell not US ambassador to Syria!
As far as I know, Syria and the US do not currently have any diplomatic relationship.
We must try and make a conscious effort to not use the references and definitions that emanate from the MSM or out of Western capitals, because by doing that, we run the risk of unwittingly furthering their agendas.
And as for putting “diplomats” and troops in Syria, without Damascus’ approval, the US is merely “whistling pass the graveyard”, with these stunts.
What are they trying to prove with these stunts?
The US is a crumbling power and nothing and no one reverse this trend.
Selah
”We must try and make a conscious effort to not use the references and definitions that emanate from the MSM or out of Western capitals, because by doing that, we run the risk of unwittingly furthering their agendas.”
Agreed. And one should also make the point that James Jeffrey is 100% indistinguishable from any juridically legal Pindo ambassador. The fact that he — just like the Jihadis — is a mere, ugly squatter pestering Syria uninvited is coincidental. He and they should all be left to rot away in solitary confinement as the most genuine servants of Empire that they are.
The perennial Man from Uncle always full of hypocritical reasons for starting a resource war against some small nation reminds me of a story by Honest Abe Lincoln: A man went to a neighbour and asked to borrow his axe. Sorry, said the neighbour, I would love to lend you my axe but I need it today for my shave.
That’s Uncle $cam reasoning.
”Then, Western-sponsored pro-opposition media outlets were claiming that the Assad government is somehow guilty that the main opposition to it is the internationally recognized terrorist groups.”
Well, there are at least two interesting corollaries to consider here:
C1: Are these outlets and their Western sponsors angry at Bashar al-Assad for being in opposition to Al Qaeda and ISIS?
C2: Are these outlets and their Western sponsors happy to be the allies of Al Qaeda and ISIS in the heroic struggle against ”the Assad regime” ?
My take: C1 — yes. C2 — yes. European values don’t seem to mind fundamentalist Islam these days. Rather, they seem to have adopted the attitude of Francisco Franco who happily launched a ”crusade” against the legal Spanish government with significant Moorish Muslim troops. In Syria’s case we have Western Liberal Zio-gays assisting in an attempt to overthrow Syria’s legal government with the aid of mercenaries itching for Sharia law. Fascists and their Liberal cousins are funny breeds.
European values ha what a joke?
What values are you talking about?
Perhaps the enslaving of an entire continent for 500 years? Or mass murdering your way through two continents. Or perhaps subjugation most of humanity and treating them as subhumans for the past 200 years and stealing their ressource?
Occidentosis, if you would have followed my submissions a little more carefully, then my take upon the Euro-trash and what Russia is in its full right to do about it could hardly be missed.
European values are exactly what the Ukro garbage was asking for, and they got it. They were so elated they couldn’t even abstain from the Nazi paraphernalia.
No I know we agree on the matter from your other comme9on other posts. I just wanted to make it clear what the hypocrisy stands for.
When the dollar dies, the dollar empire dies with it. We have written about kicking the dollar habit for years and now dollar junkies are finally getting the rehabilitation required. It all boils down to this. They have been fighting the wrong battle with the wrong weapon … but I see they are finally wising up.

Add to my comment above
Important message: US attacked Russian military base
Attacking Khmemim with drones flew from a US spy plane
The Defense Ministry said that 30 UAVs were driven from an
American Poseidon-8 reconnaissance aircraft.
* -According to Deputy Defense Minister Alexander Fomin, a trained specialist
managed the drones. Speaking at the Xiangshan Security Forum in Beijing, he
also added that terrorists in Syria can go to the radio frequencies that Russian
aviation operates at.
* -After the drones collided with Russian electronic suppression systems, they
were transferred to manual control mode.
* “So, the manual control is carried out not by a peasant of some kind, but by a
normal one, equipped with modern Poseidon-8 equipment. He took over manual
control, ”Fomin said.
* – “And for this you need special equipment,” Fomin said, noting that the creation
of such funds should be carried out “not on our knees or in the Syrian desert.”

And all US/ISIS drones were captured by Russ, military.
Russia and Syria stand for secularism and moderate government- USA, Saudi, UK and Israel stand for chaos and extremism. Mr Jeffery said Assad created ISIS, obviously he is not aware that ISIS were called freedom fighters and a natural result of Assads opression in the Anglo media, until they started attacking their other pets, the Kurd separatists. Then they were declared evil, although they made little effort to stop them.
Speaking of Chaos – USA is very active destabilising in Europe now. No coincidenece that just after Macron talked about an EU army and standing up to rude USA- we have Color Revolution, this time called the ‘Yellow Jacket’ movement against tax rises and regulations. People being attacked and even killed by ‘color revolutionaries’ just for driving on a blockaded road. Macron may be a former banker but like Schroeder in Germany he knows the USA is holding EU prisoner. With prison guard UK out of the way, EU is openly becoming pro Russian, as shown by Nord Stream which Uncle Sams’ pets Poland and Denmark could do nothing to stop. Germany and France rules EU, and if they are Pro Russian then EU is Pro Russian.
Destabilisation starts like this every time, protests, violence, disinformation from Kiev to Macedonia and Catalunya to Slovakia to Turkey, light a spark and help the flames, escalate tensions and seperatism. It is disgusting how they accuse Russia of doing all these things, when USA and UK have been doing exactly that for a century, and openly. Its a warning to France and EU from Uncle Sam- dont dare leave our NATO mafia, or you will end up like Syria. Freedom Cookies in Paris? The French surely have better tastes.
Meanwhile in the real world, analyst Canthama — usually noted for sobriety of tone — reports on the cruel war which those U$ clowns in expensive suits unleashed from polished desks in the Oval Office of their White House, on the cold logic behind their defeat, on the pity of that war, and on the cold fury of retributive justice:
Canthama BTL SyrPer #280572
“The situation in al Safa front continues to improve as the heavy rains are gone. Without hostages and bad weather to hide behind, ISIS is being turned into dust inside the al Safa volcano. The SAA is pounding hard all over and advancing on the ground, key heights are secure; a turkey shoot will follow.
https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/breaking-syrian-army-liberates-most-of-daeshs-last-bastion-in-southern-syria/
Most at Syrper know well that the vast majority of the ISIS inside al Safa are (Hamas) Palestinians relocated from Yarmouk camp, south of Damascus; in a deal they were sent to the desert to live a bit longer while SAA were securing the last terrorist stronghold near Damascus.
These Muslin Brotherhood Palestinians are filthy dogs who preferred to betray the Syria that received them so warmly, the Syria that supported the Palestinian cause as no other Arab Nation has done. They deserve to be eliminated to the last man because — besides betraying Syria, betraying the Palestinian cause, and having partnered with USrahell, they cowardly kidnapped dozens of Druze women and kids to protect themselves. Once these traitors got cut off from their US ally in al Tanf, those innocent civilians were to have been their shield against a massive attack by the SAA. This is all gone, [the Druze were saved in a daring rescue] and now these traitors will all die. Hopefully their end will serve as an example to other groups who prefer to betray Syria, the Palestinian cause and the Resistance [then hope to escape by hiding behind kidnapped women and children].
Expect more news regarding this front line, ISIS is collapsing quite fast.
”Expect more news regarding this front line, ISIS is collapsing quite fast.”
With its Salafist offal duly protected by a Rat Line straight to Israel and, from there, to the EU.
Please provide sources about the Palestinians in the Yarmouk refugee camp. Everything i can find on the topic says that the Palestinians have been fighting with the Syrian government against ISIS, even from Zionist news sources.
@MM, that’s right most of the Palestinians in Syria are Arab patriots fighting on the same side as Syrian Arab Army and Allies. But a minority are traitors — in the British-created, Anti-Arab organization, Muslim Brotherhood — and they are fighting together with treacherous Turks, Israeli, Saudi, French and Anglo military forces to destroy Arab Independence.

Syrian Army uncovers large weapons hub with US-made missiles near Damascus
https://mobile.almasdarnews.com/article/syrian-army-uncovers-large-weapons-hub-with-us-made-missiles-near-damascus/
“The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) uncovered a large weapons hub in southern countryside of Damascus on Saturday, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported.
According to the SANA report, the Syrian Army uncovered this weapons cache while combing through the Babila farms in southern Damascus.
A field commander said that the Syrian military was aided by locals, who informed them of of a large quantity of ammunition, weapons and missiles that were hidden by militants at the farms between Babila and Beit Sahm.
Among the weapons seized were US-made TOW missiles, launchers, RPGs, various ammunition boxes that were stored in wooden and metal boxes, machine guns, homemade hand grenades, and an ICG grenade launcher.”

Turkey demands US cut ties with Kurdish-led YPG
https://mobile.almasdarnews.com/article/turkey-demands-us-cut-ties-with-kurdish-led-ypg/
“The Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar slammed the recent photo of U.S. soldiers having dinner with the Kurdish-led People’s Protection Units (YPG) in northern Syria.
“These photos have found wide coverage in our media and disturbed our people. They tarnished the image of the U.S. and its army… for the Turkish public,” Hulusi Akar said at the Halifax International Security Forum in Canada.
In response to the photo, the Turkish Defense Minister said that he expects the U.S. to cut all ties with the YPG.
“We expect U.S. to stop cooperation with the YPG terror group as promised,” he said
“It is unacceptable for the U.S. to provide arms and ammunition by plane and trucks to the YPG terrorist group even when Daesh has been neutralized to a large extent,” Akar said, adding that Turkey would never allow a terror corridor along its southern border.”
Another Uncle $cam $cheme unravels in SyRaq. Note the last sentence:
“Iraqi President Barham Salih in meeting with Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani underlined that Baghdad will never become a tool in hands of US to pressure Tehran through brutal sanctions. Certainly, Iraq will not be a part of the mechanism to impose sanctions or implement hostile policies against Iran,” Salih said.
President Rouhani stressed the need for facilitation of joint ventures and development of trade relations. He said stances adopted by Iraqi officials prove Washington may not be able to use Baghdad for exercising its schemes against Tehran. _Now, it has been proved Americans never enjoyed the power they imagined and they should know Iran and Iraq have age-old and profound ties with each other._”

Eisenhower’s worst nightmare has come true.. — https://www.globalresearch.ca/americas-permanent-war-complex/5660231
This post is from 2016 and was US made up to so poison public opinion of President Assad’s rule that doing full US Regime Chance would become simple. All claims that Assad did them are untrue, the US did and does al of them since WW11.
The quiet Trump Presidential decision to murder the most honest editor on the planet whose disclosures of facts let to Trump’s election simply prove that the Donald is as criminally insane as was Hitler, Goebbles, Bolton, Brennan, Pompeo or Haspel. That insanity, become systematic, was the reason the first decision after WW11 to split Germany in half permanently was made.
The US, whose corporate heads had planned WW11 with the Nazis insisted, with I think England, that Germany must be held whole, just temporarily divided East and West. Their Deep States (17 of them) now in 2018 over one million members, needed Germany and the European Union to remain fully intact and joined closer if possible as the WW11 plans of Hitler’s world empire had dictated. Easier to force obedience on.
Since those WW11 US plans with the Nazis were never made public, especially in the US, it is difficult for Americans to believe this was so. Plans that now simply continue in the secretive Deep States of both Britain and America. Example, PM Theresa May has done everything she can to support global lawlessness, destroy BREXIT, and Britain. Unipolar Empires don’t share sceptres. Same with Merkel.
Russia fought the Nihilism the Communism brought in with thousands of new Christian `Orthodox churches, instead the US has evicserate it’s religions as it practices extreme intolerance.
When the world was living under no laws as Hitler’s troops expanded conquests, US approved 9/11 was supported in order to begin WW111 or end WW11 with an US win as planned with the Nazis in the 1930s at the end of the Great Depression.
At this time as the world begins it’s death cycle from too many wars, not enough laws, another war will bring the annihilation of life, perhaps all of it.. The American hysteria mimics the hysteria generated by Hitler and is so prominent because WW11 did not damage America, but instead, enriched it. Under Western life assumptions, how does a wealthy capitalist clean himself and his nation from what enriched him? He doesn’t.

Syria: Interview with a Former Sniper with Ahrar al Sham “Rebel” Terrorist Group
https://www.globalresearch.ca/syria-interview-with-a-former-sniper-with-ahrar-al-sham-rebel-terrorist-group/5660033
“I was offered the opportunity to interview this man and was thankful for it because this gets into the very heart of the conflict here. The “moderate rebels”, the “freedom fighters” … those armed groups that have been directly supported by my government.
It is ironic perhaps that the group this guy was in is Ahrar al Sham (an Al Qaeda affiliated group). On my first trip in May 2016, I was heading from a village near Homs to the city. The road at that time was quite dangerous and ‘hot’ because the whole plain from the hills where I’d been to Homs was scattered with ISIS, al Qaeda and many other groups who controlled different villages in the area.
We passed right by a power station on the road and just beyond it is/was an Alawite village called al Zara that was pointed out to me. That morning the people of al Zara were going about a typical day. I remember I waved towards it and said “hello al Zara” for some reason.
We got to Homs. Next day that village was attacked by Ahrar al Sham and al Nusra together. A massacre. Men and women and children slaughtered. One report from someone I consider credible and who has proven accurate always, said the terrorists hung some children up after they had witnessed their parents being killed. They burned them to death.
On another trip, while in Aleppo, was scheduled to go to a refugee center to meet with people coming from eastern Aleppo. The day before we went, Ahrar al Sham and al Nusra bombed buses of Shiite villagers leaving the terrorist-beseiged villages of Kefraya and Foua in Idlib as a prisoner swap deal. 5,000 people were being transported but as a final gesture by the “rebel” terrorists who love “freedom and democracy” they arranged bombs to target some of the buses. They killed over 100 – mostly children. The survivors were brought to the refugee center we were visiting and we got to speak to them. Vanessa Beeley was also there and did important interviews and articles about it.
So all that to say, I personally know something of the character of the group Ahrar al Sham. Again, it’s a group directly supported by the US, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey as “moderates” who received money, weapons including advanced weaponry, intelligence support, etc. The US has refused throughout the war to designate it as a terrorist group.
How to try to explain this in ways Americans can understand? This is the best I can come up with: imagine you’re a white American and the white supremacist movement has gained momentum thanks to external support from other countries who want to destroy America. These other countries use non stop propaganda to fuel fears among whites that the government and minority groups want all the whites dead.
Those other countries bring in massive numbers of weapons and huge stacks of cash to white supremacist leaders and fanatics over the borders of Canada and Mexico. Many whites buy into the whole charade out of fear or feelings of hatred towards minorities. Getting sucked into the mob mentality they begin to view their minority neighbors, even former friends, with distrust and prejudice. The groups take over key cities and ‘purify’ them of minorities. Most whites in the US see this is happening and resist it all but others accept it and stay in their cities and just survive through it because while they don’t like the way the white supremacists are treating them they at least can live and work. Yes, similar to the Nazi ideology.
Replace Sunni supremacists with white supremacists and you get the idea of what happened here. Whether political, racist or religious, extremism leads to violence and chaos.
It is absolutely essential to understand that most Sunnis in Syria do NOT support this ideology or these “rebel” terrorists. Although Sunnis are the great majority here only a minority of them went against their government. In fact the majority of the army and government are Sunnis as is President Assad’s wife, the First Lady Asma.”
Any chance of an overall report of what is happening in Syria….would be thankful……is it just SAA in action now….are Russians just training them up for s-300 or are still flying sorties…SAA seems to be warming up a bit re Deir ez Zour…recent usa coalition action there against Isis that had previously been got rid of but are maintained still and seem to be resurgent to justify usa presence…..who is still active in usa coalition which airforces are active……still some infighting in Idlib as HTS seems to still be on a power grab to confirm their combined operations room to even more openly fight Assad they are claiming as their noble cause( perhaps also confirming their covert masters usa objectives to remove Assad and to heck with Astana by any means possible or we will only engage in that if Assad goes)….presumably SAA and Russian intelligence is active in locating the Idlib’s active terrorists eg particularly seems to be attacks on Aleppo last coupla weeks so are plans being made to contain from pressure from rhe perimeter or a grand scheme to destroy from within as certainly there was an insider with uptodate info re chemical intentions…..maybe Russia was just watching where it goes to confirm participants identity rather than just finish it off on the spot.
?
Oh…usa and Israel still cooking up stuff against Golan heights…Iraq does take some action against Isis….Iran thinking of sending in police personnel rather than military so not giving an excuse to IDF for action but maybe seeing if they fall for a trap of sorts?
