In your most recent report on Syria you ask the UN Security council to impose an arms embargo on the Syrian government. You ask for no such arms embargo on the Syrian rebels and only ask that the Security Council “request” of states who supply the rebels that they put “mechanisms” in place to prevent the arms from being used to violate human rights.

Après plusieurs mois d’agressions contre la Syrie et plusieurs milliards investis, le bilan des opérations occidentales est correct du poins de vue médiatique mais médiocre du point de vue militaire. Pis ! L’engagement des Chinois, des Russes et des Iraniens pour garantir la sécurité de la Syrie et le respect du droit international fait que le coût d’une guerre ferait sombrer les économies de ceux qui s’y laisseraient entrainer. Ceux qui souhaitent faire croire qu’un engagement militaire direct de leur pays dans la région ne serait qu’une simple « intervention » sont soit inconscients, soit mus par un agenda irrationnel.

Christians are being systematically targeted for genocide in Syria according to Vatican and other sources with contacts on the ground among the besieged Christian community. According to reports by the Vatican’s Fides News Agency collected by the Centre for the Study of Interventionism, the US-backed Free Syrian Army rebels and ever more radical spin-off factions are sacking Christian churches, shooting Christians dead in the street, broadcasting ultimatums that all Christians must be cleansed of the rebel-held villages, and even shooting priests.

Jean-Paul Baquiast (JPB). Cher Franck Biancheri, je suis heureux de notre rencontre de ce jour, 6 juin 2012, tant pour les lecteurs de Automates-Intelligents et Europe Solidaire que pour moi personnellement. Nous vous connaissons depuis quelques années par la lecture de vos articles et interventions sur la situation politico-économique mondiale. Certains chroniqueurs vous avaient surnommé Mr Catastrophe car vous avez prédit, au moins depuis 2005, l’effondrement du système actuel globalement dominé par les intérêts financiers de Wall Street et de la City. Il s’est avéré cependant que ces prédictions se sont réalisées ou sont en train de l’être. Elles ne résultaient pas d’une vision extralucide mais des travaux d’un tout petit groupe d’experts, le LEAP, que vous avez réunis au sein de ce que vos amis appellent le premier think tank véritablement mondial.
