Massacres in Aleppo, Syria

Saturday, August 4, 2012 Massacres in Aleppo, Syria "Responsibility to Protect" crumbles as Western-armed terror front slaughters civilians while foreign sponsors attempt to tie hands of Syrian security forces.  by Tony Cartalucci  August 4, 2012 – For the people of Aleppo, their only hope is Syria’s security forces restoring order. In the pockets of Syria’s largest city the so-called "Free Syrian Army" (FSA) has dug into, a campaign of systematic detention, torture, and mass murder has been carried out against "enemies of the revolution." Demonized as either "Shabiha" or "government supporters," men have been rounded up, lined up against walls, and gunned down en mass . Others await barbaric " drumhead trials " where FSA warlords deal out arbitrary justice under the guise of "Sharia law."

Turkey Plays NATO Attack Dog, Risks Future

By News Desk

StopImperialism.com August 1, 2012 As the destabilization of Syria has evolved over the course of the last year and a half, what has become apparent to political observers is the seeming incongruity of Turkey’s role in the region.  While Ankara has attempted in recent years to establish itself as a force for political and economic change and progress, it has also assumed the role of a NATO attack dog, becoming a crucial weapon in the arsenal of the Western imperialists.  While Turkey’s actions in Syria, in particular the sponsorship and coordination of terrorists , must be vigorously condemned, it is also important to note the geopolitical and economic issues at stake for Turkey.  In doing so, those of us around the world who reject imperialist meddling and destabilization, who stand in opposition to Western hegemony and proxy states, must help push Turkey back onto the path of peace and progress. Turkey’s Role in Syria Anyone who has followed the evolution of the imperialist aggression against Syria has undoubtedly noted the insidious role that Turkey has played.  From a diplomatic perspective, Ankara has led the charge in demonizing the Assad regime , saying that it “stands against the will of the Syrian people†and is “killing its own people.â€Â  However, the reality is that Turkey, along with its collaborators in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Lebanon and elsewhere, have done more to fan the flames of violence and instability than the Assad regime ever could

In Syria – How to "Liberate" a Pro-Army City?

By News Desk

The offensive was coordinated with an assassination bombing and a similar militant assault on Damascus – timed so closely with the UN Security Council vote, the vote was pushed back a day only to be vetoed by Russia and China, with Pakistan and South Africa abstaining in protest of the US-UK backed resolution. It appears that the operation in Damascus was expected to last longer and cause more chaos amongst the ranks of the Syrian military. It also looks like a large psychological operation planned by NATO was attempted, but failed, or pushed back at the very least – one involving the seizing of Syrian broadcasting and replacing it with false reports of the government’s imminent demise.

In Syria, Obama Fights Bush’s Wars Syrian Opposition Signs Pro-War Neo-Con Letter to Obama.  by Tony Cartalucci  July 24, 2012 – Neo-Conservatives have "called on" US President Barack Obama to assist in the establishment of "safe zones" inside of Syria in a recent letter published by the "Foreign Policy Initiative" (FPI) and the "Foundation for the Defense of Democracies" (FDD). Both faux-institutions are corporate, foundation, and government funded clearinghouses, extensions of larger think-tanks like the American Enterprise Institute, for corporate-financier driven agendas, more specifically, wars. They serve the sole purpose of manufacturing consensus behind an agenda that has little or no support within the general public

Libya 2.0: Media Hysteria Over Syria "Bombing" City of Aleppo

By News Desk

Ironically, NATO’s subsequent "protection of civilians" flattened several cities across the country , slaying thousands of civilians.  Syria’s Violence in Context The Syrian military cannot, however, rule out the use of airstrikes considering the overt manner in which foreign interests such as the US, Israel , and the Gulf States are increasingly sending heavily armed militants over their borders to destabilize their nation. It must be taken into consideration that FSA militants have been conducting indiscriminate bombings across Syria for months now, and with their latest assassinations and offensive, have shed the ability to play to role of "victim-civilians."  Image : The West’s "lightly armed" FSA.
