The great and pitiless struggle in Syria is one in which the whole future of humanity can be seen to be at stake. In this it recalls the Spanish Civil War but this time the liberals and leftists are all screaming for fascism or, rather, universal fascism The whole world has been turned upside down ideologically.

A humanitarian intervention in Syria? Humanitarian grounds had already been used in 1860 … precisely by France as a pretext to intervene militarily in Syria, then an Ottoman province. In this article, Geneva University scholar Pascal Herren lays bare the true intentions of France under Napoleon III, which were every bit as disreputable as those pursued under Sarkozy or Hollande. He also brings to light the dire consequences that befell the peoples of the region.

The complexities of the Arab Spring and the struggle for political freedom throughout the Arab world should not obscure what has now become an absolutely essential understanding for all anti-imperialists: the Muslim Brotherhood is one of the most powerful weapons of the Western ruling class in the Muslim world. While that may be a difficult pill for some to swallow for emotional or psychological reasons, one need look no further than the insidious role the organization is playing in Syria and the abuses of power and human rights of the government of Egypt. In the US-NATO sponsored war against the Assad government, the Muslim Brotherhood has emerged as the leading western-sanctioned force, the avant-garde of the imperialist assault. While, in Egypt, President Morsi and the Brotherhood government seek to destroy what had been, little more than a year ago, the promise of the revolution.

will an enlightened Obama now on his second and final term in office fall off his horse on his way to Damascus… and get a new vision on America’s role in the Middle East and, hopefully, beyond that region? Asks Ben Tanosborn.

Los servicios de inteligencia de Rusia e Irán, claves en la derrota de los terroristas en región de Damasco
10th December, 2012
La radio iraní IRIB informa que los servicios de inteligencia de Rusia e Irán informaron con detalle al Estado Mayor sirio de la operación diseñada por la CIA y los servicios secretos turco-árabes en la región de Damasco. Los imperialistas y sus lacayos regionales han enviado una horda de 5 mil mercenarios y fanáticos para tomar los cuatro capitales en torno a la capital siria y la carretera del aeropuerto internacional y tratar de infligir una derrota a las fuerzas de elite sirias. Tras conocer los planes enemigos, el Ejército árabe sirio ha puesto en marcha un exitoso contraplan consistente en cortar las vías de suministro de armas de las bandas criminales al servicio de la CIA y permitirles que avanzasen para golpearlas a placer. IRIB habla de una derrota completa de la horda neomongola que habría sufrido incluso 5 mil muertos, cifra a tomar con reservas. Esta colaboración en información da cuenta de la activa solidaridad que Rusia e Irán ofrecen a la República árabe siria, su pueblo y fuerzas armadas para hacer fracasar los planes de Obama-Clinton en la región

The resident of Damascus’ Old City turned restlessly in her bed. It was late at night, but for the fourth day running, it was impossible to sleep. The booms of artillery seemed closer now; the thuds of fallin shells came with steady regularity, each time rippling the water in the glass by her bedside.
