“Syria is worrying that it will be attacked by Turkey from above and by Israel from below. It is worrying that it will be squeezed between us like a sandwich.”   [Israeli President Ezer Weizman (1993-2000), interview with Guneri Civaoglu,Caesarea, Israel, 11 June 1996]  [1] “Although Turkey has never taken part in a war alongside us, it is a positive factor for Israel that Syria has an enemy on its northern frontiers. Syria will never attack Turkey, but it cannot exclude the reverse.”  [Former Israeli Defence Minister Uri Or (1995-1996), interview with Alain Gresh, Tel Aviv, October 1997]  [2] INTRODUCTION When the U.S. and its allies launched the covert war on Syria in 2011, they were expecting that either Syria’s political establishment would collapse within a short duration or they would find a way to ignite an open war. As Syria’s leaders and people proved to be exceptionally resilient, increasingly more brutal means have been deployed to tear the country apart. Being at the forefront of this covert war in every respect, Turkey has been thoroughly complicit in monumental war crimes committed against the neighbouring people of Syria. Read More »

In Mafia terms, it’s called «making an offer that can’t be refused». The «offer» is not one of free choice between options that may benefit the object party. In reality, it is about setting up a scenario of duress, under which the object party is coerced to capitulate to detrimental terms of extreme prejudice determined cynically by the other party. This is the scenario that Washington and its NATO allies are contriving for the Syrian government of President Bashar al-Assad… Read More »

“ON THE MOST RECENT OF THE VERY RARE ALMOST NEVER INTERVIEW OF THE EMBATTLED DEFIANT TYRANT STRONGMAN WHO REFUSES TO STEP DOWN,” OR, “LAMENTATIONS OF A WORKING SYCOPHANT OF GOEBBELS.” by Miri Wood, R.N.c. N.B. Cantelmi es cabron. “Beauty is truth, truth beauty. That is all – /Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.” [1] Like many Americans, I had never heard of Marcelo Cantelmi — though I have, in the pasado remoto, read the Argentine right-wing daily, “Clarin,” named after an usual horn instrument — until watching the less than ten minutes of video from the “rare” interview of President Assad .[2] Having watched the video before reading his report, I was kind of taken by surprise that his first question would involve the complaint that the Syrian “crisis” is worse than in other Arab countries, with the implication that the unspoken, were it to be given obvious voice, would scream “How dare you not be crushed!” In Cantelmi Cabron’s second, ‘sort of’ question, in which he attempted to wax eloquence regarding Obama’s and Biden’s very white men’s burden of so not wanting to “intervene,” and their apparent problem in Kerry’s insistence on keeping all options opened, Cabron begins the outing of himself as an O’Bagger. [3] This yellow journalist himself, almost magnanimously seems to offer President Assad the “enormous” role involving an “international accord” to bring “peace” to Syria, by resigning from his elected leadership. At this point, I had to step away from the ... Read More »
