The Syrian conflict started in March 2011,
and, what at first seemed confusing, became
more and more clear. Today we all know that the
Syrian conflict is far more than a national
conflict. We see a wide range of Western
figures, who never cared much for human lives
and international law, act as if they have
already turned Syria into a Western feudal
province, in which they are dictating all of
the internal Syrian issues.
These Westerners have forgotten all about
their own countries, where crisis follows
crisis, and for 18 months, they have not cared
about their own problems in the West. It seems
as if these Westerners have a personal agenda,
driven by blind fury.
The Syrian conflict was never peaceful.
There was always a third, militant, barbaric
group that had a violent agenda of its own. The
Syrians knew it very early, after the first
days of confusion, where the foreign news media
said one thing, and the people on the streets
another. They found out that something very
strange was going on. Every Syrian became a
``Sherlock Holmes,'' and kept in close contact
with family, friends, and others, in other
cities. Every incident was investigated.
Also, Syrians outside of Syria started to
follow every move, calling home daily, and then
discussing the news with other Syrians to find
out what their families and friends said. Many
called the media in their countries, telling
them that their news was untrue. But from
Australia, to Denmark, to Canada, all the
Western media had the same response, and they
called them Syrian agents, puppets, etc., and
made sure that no one could hear their voice.
I was very surprised that even a
state-owned major media in Denmark was very
effective and cynical in its censorship of the
Syrians in Denmark, and in Syria. Instead of
getting Syrians to comment on Syria, they used
two non-Syrians with Arabic background, who
have very little, or no knowledge, about the
Syrian community, and both had exactly the same
standard answers as commentators in other
Western major media, as if they had all
received the same manuscript!
A Hidden Foreign Attack
Very early on, it was obvious that what
was happening was a hidden foreign attack on
Syria, where the military, media, and
cyberspace of all Western governments, had been
mobilized, alongside their puppets in the Gulf.
They even recruited jihadists from various
countries, and armed and paid them to go to
Syria to fight. Also, they created a
Western-controlled Syrian opposition, comprised
of people living in the West. Syrians in Syria
(supporters of the government, and the Syrian
opposition inside Syria) condemned this act as
irrelevant. This was madness. It seemed as if
the Western politicians and journalists were on
drugs.
I will never forget seeing the U.S.
ambassador, standing alone outside the Cham
Hotel, begging people passing by to demonstrate
against the government--without getting any
support! Have you ever seen a foreign
ambassador stand in the middle of Berlin,
begging Germans to demonstrate against the
German government? Can you imagine this? He has
become a joke all over Syria, and this is just
one of his many strange acts!
The hidden central actors in the strange
opposition/revolution are [U.S. Secretary of
State] Hillary Clinton, [former French
President Nicolas] Sarkozy, [British Foreign
Secretary William] Hague, [Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu, [Lebanese Prime
Minister Rafik] Hariri, and the feudal
royalties in Qatar and Saudi Arabia, etc. The
spiritual godfather is Adnan Arour, a very
bloody sectarian, who promised to kill
everybody who didn't follow him. Living in
Saudi Arabia, he had weekly prayers on Al
Arabiya, telling supporters to kill people, and
destroy Syria. He has even promised to kill
artists, only because they support the
government.
Western weapons were smuggled into Syria
from the beginning; huge quantities of foreign
weapons were seized, and people talked about
armed foreigners. In certain poor, extremist,
criminal neighborhoods, dollars were suddenly
very common, as were modern satellite
phones that were not sold in the market in
Syria. Everything was very surreal. As if this
weren't enough, Western politicians and
ambassadors seemed to be on Syrian drugs. They
acted and talked like thugs, instead of
well-behaved adults or diplomats.
As if launching military, political, and
media wars, and sanctions against Syria weren't
enough, the Western powers are trying to
dominate Syria by using the United Nations
Security Council. Already in April 2011, the
so-called peaceful protestors committed
barbaric killings of civilians and security
personnel.
Here are some examples: A farmer was
tortured and mutilated, and then killed. A
father driving his two sons and a nephew from
school, were all killed. A 14-year-old boy was
hanged for hanging up the Syrian flag at his
home. A 17-year-old girl was killed. A bus
bringing soldiers from their base back home was
ambushed in an area where everything was still
completely quiet. Nine young soldiers were
killed and 25 wounded. This already happened in
early April 2011, and all were committed by
people who called themselves peaceful
protesters. They also committed vandalism,
burned private and official properties, etc.!
Kidnapping was used to pressure people
into demonstrating. For example, two girls were
kidnapped in April 2011, after their village
refused to take part in the demonstrations. One
girl returned home again, and the other is
still missing.
A Last Telephone Call: `For the Country'
A security station in Jisr Shoghour, with
several personnel inside, who were unaware of
an attack, was set on fire by the FSA [Free
Syrian Army] terrorists, and then attacked. One
of the soldiers called his leader, and
explained the situation: that they were
surrounded by terrorists, and that they were
trapped, yet resisting. At the end of their
conversation, the soldier said, ``Sir, we are
out of ammunition.... We salute you and our
President.... We send our good-byes.... Our
country is in your hands now.''
Another soldier from the station called
his sister, who has close family in Denmark.
His last message was, ``Never let these thugs
take over the country. They are barbaric!''
From the beginning, every week, a number
of policemen, soldiers, and other security
personnel were killed in cold blood, in
surprise attacks. Many were killed in brutal
ways. It was clear that al-Qaeda terrorists had
entered Syria, as well as special troops and
hired fighters of different nationalities.
There was no revolution. It was
terrorism from the very beginning! There were
huge rallies in support of the government's
reform, but only small demonstrations against
it, in small cities, mostly one at a time,
after Friday prayers. The same people attended
the demonstrations in all of these cities.
These same people were obviously traveling from
one place to another.
But the Western media, alongside the
feudal royalties in the Gulf, never showed the
huge pro-government rallies. All they showed
were manipulated demonstrations against the
government from YouTube, which could not be
verified, because they were mostly fakes. There
is an ocean of examples of fake videos and
pictures. Many journalists from Al Jazeera have
resigned since Spring 2011, because of the
distortion of the facts about Syria. If there
truly were a public uprising, why would they
need to fake demonstrations and victims? Why
would they have to use the same
``demonstrators'' in all places? Why did they
need massive help from the outside?
We heard daily the Western leaders, yes,
even the Saudi feudal monarch, call for
democracy and freedom, and, since 2005, the
same leaders in the U.S. have paid huge amounts
to anti-Syrians in London, for example, to
create an opposition for Syria. They even
financed a TV channel for this purpose. They
tell the Syrian government to step down. [[They
organize conferences with themselves and the
feudal royalties as hosts, and the
leadership, in order for head-hunted figures,
not living in Syria, to play opposition.]] The
Syrian people in Syria are not being asked.
When the Syrian people reject Western
interference, the West uses bullets.
How democratic is that? And since when
did the feudal royalties in Saudi Arabia and
Qatar care about democracy and freedom? Also,
YouTube seems to be drugged when it comes to
Syria. While the so-called exile-opposition had
no problem in having brutal videos, usually
fabricated, put on YouTube, the Syrians' YouTube
videos were removed by the YouTube
administration, most of the time. There was
certainly a plot against Syria and the Syrian
people.
A Romanian newspaper wrote already in May
2011, that the plot aimed at undermining
stability in Syria had failed, thanks to the
Syrian people rallying around President Bashar
al-Assad. The foreign plot failed thanks to the
Syrian people and their awareness. In May, a
number of groups were created by citizens
(mainly young ones), who wanted to bring the
truth to the world. Also, well-established
organizations started campaigning.
For example the ``Voice of the Homeland's
Women,'' launched by the Syrian Women's Union,
with the participation of a number of
journalists and lawyers, started a campaign
aimed at exposing the truth to the world. In
May and June 2011, public groups, and political
parties, etc., asked people to be careful,
because there was a violent group that was
organizing demonstrations, calling them
peaceful.
Authors, artists, and thinkers sent an
appeal addressed to the youth of Syria, saying,
``Stop protesting, because suspicious groups
are initiating the protests using dangerous,
extremist slogans. This will reveal the real
intruders, and eliminate the roots of this
sedition. If it were not stopped, it would lead
us towards devastation.'' Syrian Kurdish parties
asked the youths to keep away from these
demonstrations, already during the first part
of June 2011.
Syrians, especially the youth,
appealed to the Western world to tell the truth,
but they were totally ignored. In one effort,
in mid-June 2011, they created a huge Syrian
flag, 2,300 meters long. A huge crowd marched
with the flag in Damascus--but no Western media
gave it a glance!
In mid-June, 10 million people rallied
across Syria, condemning the foreign
intervention, and showing support for the
reform; hardly any Western media mentioned
this!
New Media Law in May 2011
In May, a committee of journalists started
to draft a new media law and to set up
mechanisms to reform the national media.
On May 1, the committee started setting
up the basis for a national dialogue. And
shortly after, a meeting was held about finding
political solutions for the current challenges.
The dialogue was open to all national political
figures, inside and outside Syria, to achieve
the national interests, and to preserve its
unity and security. (Of course, we all know
that the Western-made ``opposition'' rejected
any dialogue.)
The participation of political, economic,
social, religious, artistic, and cultural
figures, farmers, etc., in all counties, hold
regular week-long meetings
In June
2011, a number of academics, jurists, and
lawyers started to write a draft to reform the
judiciary by developing the laws. Committees
were formed in Summer 2011 to study laws needed
to fight corruption.
In addition, the following reforms were
undertaken:
- A new party law in August 2011
- New Constitution in February 2012
- Election to Parliament in April 2012
- Amnesty
We don't have many extremists in Syria,
but they were the ones that the West and the
Gulf states encouraged to protest, and decided
to use. The extremists already tried in the
beginning to create a sectarian civil war. In
the streets at night, they were heard shouting
``Death to the Christians'' and other groups.
They have destroyed many churches and mosques,
and have vandalized others. Many Christian
villages were threatened and attacked, in order
to force them to leave their homes.
In Homs, during Autumn 2011, when the West
used all means to push the Syrian Army away
from the city, the Christians and others left
their homes and villages when the army pulled
out, because it was too dangerous to stay. As
soon as the army had pulled out, the
extremists, foreign terrorists, and even
Western fighters entered. Those who had
remained in their homes became hostages for
weeks, some even for months--the terrorists
threatened to use them as human shields in
order to keep the Army away.
Without a political solution, the country
risks slipping into civil war, with a breakdown
of law and order, arbitrary killings, and the
danger of sectarian conflict. If such a
situation were to occur, everyone would suffer,
without exception. A political solution is
essential. Dialogue is the only way out of any
crisis, also in Syria! Those who reject
dialogue are not very great supporters of
democratic principles!
