According to some journalists from Russia, who were on a so-called assignment in Syria, there is no more any doubt that the foreign-backed opposition fighters and terrorists have used chemical weapons in attacks in the vicinity of the Syrian city of Aleppo (Halab) on March 19. Read More »
The situation surrounding Syria is like a pendulum; first it swings in the direction of a major war, then suddenly a peaceful resolution glimmers. Observers barely have a chance to evaluate the new tendency before the pendulum starts to swing in the opposite direction again. The amplitude of its swing is so great that it sweeps through the center almost without pausing. In recent days on the battlefield, the scales have clearly been tipping in favor of the government forces. Western strategists are faced with a choice: either admit that the attempt to establish a puppet regime in Syria has failed, or set aside all their «soft power» gimmicks and switch to an open and expensive military intervention.

I participated, May 1-11, 2013 in the Mussalaha International Peace Delegation to Lebanon-Syria alongside fellow TRANSCEND member Nobel Peace Laureate Mairead Maguire, from Ireland, and 15 others from eight countries. Keenly aware of my responsibility, especially to my newly made Syrian and Lebanese friends left behind, I shall try to report, describe, make sense of what I saw, heard and experienced; also offer views and insights based on interviews. However, this report will take more than one article. Read More »
The following text is a translation of an article in the German political magazine Spiegel Online about the situation in Syria. The text of the failing journalists shows on the one hand clearly the propaganda in Germany, on the other hand, it must be strange that everything suddenly looks different in Syria – even for the German foreign intelligence service.

According to the overwhelmed and incompetent Lakhdar Brahimi, the so-called United Nations-Arab League mediator, who should really know the truth behind all the power plays of the world powers, the stagings and the propaganda, said in a recent statement that the Syrian government in Damascus and the so-called external Syrian opposition, which is not the real opposition within Syria, are preparing to participate in the upcoming “peace conference” on Syria, which is sponsored by international powers.

Some analysts from Western countries are convinced that the Israeli regime might be forced to attack more weapon shipments to Damascus because the Russian administration already said that it will stick to the contracts with the Syrian government and that it remains committed to the previous arms deals with Syria.

It can’t live without aggression, it’s founded by the biggest imperial aggressor of all times Britain and justified itself for itself only on the bases of the worst evil ideology of racism: Zionism. It can only survive with wars, peace will expose its nature and prevent the plotters from creating their ‘pure Jewish state’ based on unverified biblical twisted and outdated promises to other people who they follow their religion. The question is: How long would the ‘resistance and resilience camp’ restraint? The answer came from the Syrian leadership: Not any more. Syrian leadership gave orders to SAA field commanders to respond to any further Israeli aggression immediately without seeking approval from higher ups. Syria by this didn’t declare war, Syria is practically in war with the Zionist entity and what stopped escalations thus far is the disengagement treaty signed in 1974 post the 1973 October war which the Israelis call Yom Kippur War. Israel from its side has violated the treaty a number of times, Syria restrained from a tit-for-tat response, but retaliated each time bigger than what each aggression was meant to achieve. I wrote in a previous post: ‘Syria if punched doesn’t retaliate in a tit-for-tat method, she cuts the hand of who punched her’. Latest violation wasn’t the raid the pariah state, totally covered by the US regime, carried against Damascus on May 5th, 2013 against a chicken hen and a weapons depot near Damascus; the new Israeli violation was yesterday May 17, 2013 with a number of members from ...
