SYRIA TODAY NEEDS A LITTLE HISTORY
PERSPECTIVE IS DEFINITELY LACKING
Umayyad Mosque, Pre-War Damascus
This is an excerpt from my book Visas for Al Qaeda: CIA Handouts That Rocked The World. Written in 2014, it is still valid. The illegitimate, terrorist entity that styles itself “Israel” wasn’t so deeply involved then.
Beginning in the 1950s, first in Egypt, then in Syria, American
and British intelligence services have worked to overthrow men
and governments they didn’t like. With past attempts unsuccessful,
the United States, aided by repressive governments in the
region, moved against the Syrian Arab Republic in the new century,
using its favorite cat’s paw, the Arab-Afghan Legion. The attack began, if not in
concert with the alleged “spontaneous” uprising in March 2011, then not long
afterward. Conceivably, the Obama Administration had begun arms shipments to the
Syrian terrorist groups earlier than acknowledged. Reports surfaced
in May 2013 that between two thousand and fifty-five hundred
foreign nationals were active in Syria, including hundreds from
countries such as Britain, France, and Ireland. European government
officials are now worrying about the consequences of these
foreign legionnaires returning home.
In later stories, the numbers changed. The war in Syria had allegedly
attracted approximately seven thousand combatants from
fifty countries and that one of the main US-sponsored groups there
“aspires to carry out an attack in the United States.” US Special
Forces are preparing these terrorists for action at locations in
Turkey and at an American base in southwest Jordan. Rebellion
leaders have been supplied by recruiting programs run by the CIA,
Britain’s MI6 [the Secret Intelligence Service], Israel’s Mossad [external
intelligence service], and the French DGSE [external] intelligence
service.” Beginning in early 2012, the FARS News Agency
related that Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan flew weapons acquired
in Croatia to Turkey, which then delivered them by the truckload
to “insurgents” committed to overthrowing the Syrian government.
Hundreds of combatants came from Langley’s war in the Balkans.
Other things came from the Balkans, too. As part of a deal
worked out with the Americans, Croatia sold two hundred and
thirty tons of rocket and grenade launchers, field artillery, mortars,
and ammunition in December 2012 to Jordan, which were fed into
a CIA pipeline to opponents of the legitimate Syrian government.
At the beginning of the anti-Assad rebellion, the US Ambassador
to Syria, Robert S. Ford, was the key State Department official recruiting
Arab death squads. They were brought in from al-Qaeda affiliated
units in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, and Chechnya to fight
military and police units.
American actions in Syria, in concert with Britain, France, Saudi
Arabia, the Gulf States, and, probably, Israel, were and are intended
to dehouse, deculturalize, destabilize, and destroy the country. To further
this aim, American policy is now to prevent victory by either
side in the terrorist war against Bashar al-Assad. Therefore, the fact
that, according to one CIA official, the “insurgents” now control
more territory in Syria than they even did in Iraq or Afghanistan
is a matter of concern to US policymakers.
The United States and its associates, if the Washington Post’s
numbers are correct, have already turned Syria into another Iraq.
(Israel’s policy is to ensure that no country in the Middle East can have
foreign or domestic policies that Tel Aviv opposes. Statement by David
MacMichael, former CIA official, to me, in 2014.)
War-Torn Syria
Between 2.3 and 2.5 million Syrians have already fled the country
(roughly 10 percent of the 2010 population, according to UN
figures). Forty percent of the inhabitants (6.5 million people) are
“internally displaced.” The World Bank reported that Syrian refugees,
just like Iraqi ones, have stretched the resources of the countries
absorbing them to dangerous limits.
COMMENT. Today, with the legitimate government of Syria overthrown by US- backed extremists such as Jabhat al-Nusra (now calling itself Hayat Tahrir al-Sham) and direct Zionist attacks, planned long in advance, Syrian has gone the way of Yugoslavia, Iraq, and Libya. The country’s destruction is celebrated not only in the Western media but also in Arabic and Muslim ones. American Muslims for Palestine wrote “AMP Applauds Assad’s Overthrow”. Haram! (Forbidden!)
The Washington Post headlines “Joy…blanket[s] Syrians” and claims Syrians “are feeling freedom” as well as asserting that “U.S. scrambles to respond to unexpected collapse.” The paper also reports that “Israeli troops in Golan Heights move swiftly into Syria.” The Zionist-controlled journal wants Americans to forget the many trips by U.S. officials to Israel and Lebanon prior to the “unexpected collapse” as well as the American role in engineering a fake cease-fire in Lebanon. (This gave “Isarel” time to prepare the strike against Syria.)

The American media reported U.S. air attacks on Syria, not as assaults on government forces but as raids on ISIS!
What Next? Well, duh. IRAN! It is now the only country in West Asia that is not occupied by the United States and/or the Zionist Entity. It is the only country in West Asia that is not controlled by the United States and/or the Zionist entity. Therefore, it is the only country in West Asia left to be attacked.
Presented with this fact, an Iranian contact told me “We are strong”. Well and good. Iran does have the key to the Zionist Iron Dome. There are 80 million Iranians and only 7 million “Israeli” Jews. Iran does have a wide variety of missiles and effective air defense systems.

However, the ZioBeasts and their American subjects have engaged in blatant assassinations, including Gen. Qassem Soleimani and President Raisi. They’ve often attacked Iranian military sites with impunity.

As I was told in 2018 by a well-connected Iranian attorney, Iran will engage in tit for tat, balanced and proportionate responses to Zionist military strikes. But, he added, if it becomes a matter of Iran’s independence and survival, the country will hit hard against every “Israeli” city having the largest proportion of Jews.
