Syrie vs Occident : Dans les méandres d’une défaite annoncée

Plus on avance dans la guerre, plus les ennemis de la Syrie deviennent nerveux. Échec patent des courants falsificateurs. Le nihilisme face à une vérité implacable. Face à l’indécence de leurs propos, il est préférable de garder la tête froide, malgré des accusations sorties de derrière les fagots, pour encore une fois, triturer le trait. L’armée syrienne, en grande majorité, lutte pour la libération de son pays face à une invasion étrangère, pour un homme, aussi, Bachar al-Assad, n’en déplaise aux esprits chagrins qui veulent installer le chaos en Syrie. Tous ces pousse-au-crime évitent de parler des actes de leurs amis égorgeurs, salafistes et wahhabistes dont chacun connaît l’idéologie.

America’s Long-standing Campaign to Destabilize Russia

The shootings and bombings in Ingushetia and Dagestan this week rekindled a long-standing, brutal campaign of violence and terrorism in Russia’s Caucasus region – one that has seen more than its share of terror stretching back to the Chechen “rebellion” of the 1990s.  However, in examining the recent attacks, it becomes clear that there are political and geopolitical interests behind the scenes that are actively working to destabilize Russia, with violence as their most potent weapon.  The attacks are not simply isolated terrorist actions, but rather, cynically orchestrated events carried out by well-connected criminal networks whose goal is to foment conflict and carry out the agenda of the US intelligence establishment in its subversion of Russia.

NATO forces armed, funded, trained, and even provided air support to Syria for Libyan terrorists emanating out of Libya’s eastern Cyrenaica region – most notably Benghazi which had served as the premier international terrorist recruiting ground in the world, according to the US Army’s Combating Terrorism Center, producing a percentage per capita of militants outstripping even that of Saudi Arabia.

ALEP (Syrie): Pleurs et mensonges des terroristes, après les pertes de la journée

Ce monde médiatique est fou !

Paul reprend Pierre qui reprend Antoine qui reprend Samuel et vice-versa. Comme une traînée de poudre, les médias ont déformé sans vergogne les propos de Qadri Jamil. 3Le vice-Premier ministre syrien a affirmé au cours d’une conférence de presse à Moscou que la Syrie était prête à discuter d’une démission de Bachar el-Assad”, rapporte l’AFP. Tous les médias arabes et francophones sautent sur l’occasion et déblatèrent. Et surprise,  aucune autre source ne vient confirmer cette déclaration. Le Guardian rapporte ainsi que les agences Reuters (britannique), Associated Press (américaine) et Ria Novosti (russe) n’ont pas rapporté l’information. Même Ria Novosti LA RUSSE n’en parle pas ? Cherchez l’erreur !

François Hollande’s presidential campaign largely consisted of denunciations of the catastrophic policies and garishness of his predecessor, Nicolas Sarkozy. He pledged that change would come immediately. One hundred days after his election, Hollande may have altered the style of rule but not the policies which remain the same even as France sinks ever deeper into crisis.

I wrote yesterday for Asia Times that in Muslim politics such as the event of the summit meeting of the Organization of Islamic Conference that was held in Jeddah last week over the Syrian crisis, it is invariably the case that the sub-texts turn out to be more important than the narrative.

Two steps forward, one step back. This is how this week’s Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) summit in Mecca could be characterized in terms of Iran-Saudi relations.
