Are Israel and the USA attempting to destabilise Syria?

As the global media cheers on NATO’s war on Libya, the media focus is increasing on the unrest in Syria. While the Western press is claiming that Syrian forces are ‘firing on their own people’, other reports would suggest that a complex nexus of subversion could also be at work to destabilise the Middle Eastern country.
Syria has been a staunch supporter of Palestinian liberation and was opposed to the American invasion of Iraq in 2003. Israel has occupied the part of Syrian territory called the Golan Heights since 1967, when up to 110 thousand Syrians were forced to leave their homes.

Syria has been in the firing line of US/Israeli imperialism for many decades. In 2003, the United States Congress passed the Syria Accountability and Lebanese Sovereignty Act (SALSRA), which threatened Syria with sanctions if it did not follow orders from Washington.
Section 2 of the act states
“1) On September 20, 2001, President George Bush stated at a joint session of Congress that `[e]very nation, in every region, now has a decision to make . . . [e]ither you are with us, or you are with the terrorists . . . [f]rom this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime'. [1]


On Friday March 11th 2011, Syrian state media revealed that the country’s security forces had seized a large quantity of fire arms, explosives, grenades and night-vision goggles coming from Iraq.
The Syrian authorities claimed that the weapons shipment was intended “for use in actions that affect Syria’s internal security and spread unrest and chaos”.[2]
On Saturday last, Syrian state television broadcasted confessions from foreign agents of different nationalities, after they were detained following violent clashes with Syrian police in several Syrian cities.
Mohammad Radwan 3 of dual US/Egyptian citizenship, currently working in Syria, was among those who confessed to having recently visited Israel for secret talks. The Egyptian claimed he had been given the mission of diffusing images and videos designed to create the impression that Syria was about to collapse in chaos.
The American citizen confessed to having been paid 100 Egyptian pounds but that he had not yet agreed the sum to be paid for the videos.
According to Venezuelan state-media Radio Del Sur:
“There are strong links between the Israeli and Colombian paramilitaries. In 2010, President Juan Manuel Santos, said he was "concerned" about the case of Yair Klein, a former Israeli military who travelled to Colombia to train Colombian paramilitary groups and performed "services" to the drug cartels.

As recognized by Santos himself, "Klein was one of the architects of that process led paramilitary after so much violence in Colombia."[3]
Similar confessions have been aired by Syrian state television before. In November 2008 confessions from an Islamic militant group linked to Al Qaeda believed by the Syrian authorities to have been financed by the current pro-Western Lebanese leader Saad Hariri were aired on Syrian state television. As the BBC reports:

“Speaking against the same black backdrop, the men admitted responsibility for the explosion, the aim of which, they said was to harm the Syrian government.

One aspect of the "confessions" may be particularly damaging, and may have wider regional implications.
According to the televised testimonies, the explosives used in the attack were brought from northern Lebanon, where Fatah al-Islam, it is claimed, received financial support from the party of the country's pro-Western Sunni leader Saad Hariri.” [4]

Contrary to the reports of the western media, the president of Syria Bashar Al Assad remains a popular figure due to his opposition to US/Israeli imperialism in the Middle East.

Hundreds of thousands of supporters demonstrated in favour of the Syrian president in Damascus on the 29th of March 2011 in support for president Assad after his cabinet resigned.
President Assad has promised to end the state of emergency in place since 1963 as well as implementing other reforms.[5]

Hundreds of Syrian communities abroad Greece, Bahrein, India, Russia and Belarus expressed their solidarity with the Syrian president. There were also demonstrations in the Lebanese city of Al-Nabatiya in support of the Syrian president.[6]


A peaceful ‘Day of Rage’ organised by opponents of the Syrian government on Facebook, was scheduled to take place in early February but protestors failed to show up.

The recent violence reported in several cities in Syria has received extensive coverage in the western press. But the circumstances of violence remain vague. It is not entirely clear whether peaceful protestors are being murdered by the police or the police are being murdered by the protestors. Some reports claim that 7 policemen have been murdered.[7]

What is clear, however, is that Israel has been lobbying for similar military action against Syria. After a meeting with his French counterpart Alain Juppé, Israeli foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman told Reuters News Agency:

“I think that the same principles, activities the Western world (has taken) in Libya ... I hope to see those regarding the Iranian regime and the Syrian regime.” [8]

Syrian authorities have accused the Israeli secret service Mossad of attempting to destabilise the country. Given the role of US, French and British intelligence agencies, backed by the international corporate media, in the destabilisation of Libya, President Assad’s claims that foreign mercenaries in the service of Israel are now attempting to destabilise Syria are highly credible.

AFFAIRE CHARA : MIEUX VAUT UNE ENQUÊTE BIDON QU'UNE ÉMEUTE !


Connaissant bien sa clientèle de fefans débiles et dégénérés, et ayant des raisons de croire à un dérapage d'hystérie collective dans l'affaire Chara/Pacioretty, la police de Mourial a fait son nid en déclenchant une enquête bidon destinée à calmer le bouillonnement bipolaire qui menace la paix et l'ordre dans la métropauvre. Mieux vaut recourir à une pseudo-enquête complètement farfelue que risquer une émeute qui pourrait coûter plus d'un million de dollars en dommages, comme celle de l'an passé. Geoff Molson sera d'accord, d'autant plus qu'après l'émeute de l'an passé, la ville a étudié la possibilité de refiler la facture des dégâts aux propriétaires du Cacad'CHien.

Chara pourrait même être condamné à... des travaux communautaires ! Ha ! Ha ! Ha ! Comme servir la soupe populaire dans l'un des nombreux refuges de sans-abris du bidonville moronréalaid... Non, je blague. Une tape sur les doigts, un blâme symbolique ou une sentence "bonbon" suspendue (!) est plus probable... On doit prouver que Chara avait vraiment l'intention de blesser le joueur du torCHon. Hors de tout doute raisonnable ? Hum ! Difficile à établir avec certitude. Toute cette histoire a tellement pris des proportions folles et défiant la raison, qu'elle fait passer encore tous les Québécois pour des imbéciles aux yeux des gens qui regardent ça de l'extérieur. Inimaginable ! Remuer ciel et terre pour un jeu anodin au hockey !!! Faut le faire !!!

Les téteux de journalistes, les animateurs de tribunes radiophoniques ou les brasseurs de merde employés du tricolore à la télé, veulent profiter des cotes d'écoute et des copies de journaux supplémentaires que cette tempête dans un verre d'eau va entraîner. Une belle occasion de se faire aller la langue sale et de faire des $$$. Ils en beurrent épais sur le compte et le dos de Chara pour s'attirer la sympathie des fefans et mousser leur propre popularité. Ils le condamnent d'avance en bafouant la présomption d'innocence. Ils ont manqué leur coup pour aider les CHaudrons à faire suspendre le capitaine des Bruins par le comité de discipline de la NHL. Ils vont en remettre pour tenter de se reprendre d'un autre bord, en faisant des pieds et des mains pour aider à le faire condamner au criminel par la police du mollusque à Gérald Tremblay. Un peu plus et ils encourageront les fefans fous à lier à lyncher publiquement Chara. Les médias, en montant cette affaire en épingle, ont une part de responsabilité dans ce débordement grotesque à propos d'un incident mineur attribuable à la malchance et à un vice de sécurité autour de la patinoire du Centre PouBell. Les scribes devraient être du côté des accusés au lieu d'être parmi les accusateurs. C'est criminel de pomper ainsi des fefans bipolaires, que leur maladie partisane rend dangereux à la moindre occasion. C'est de l'incitation à la violence...

Si Chara avait du temps à perdre, il pourrait les poursuivre devant les tribunaux pour ce motif et pour atteinte à sa réputation. Remarquez que les fefans n'ont pas besoin des médias pour attiser leur absurdité naturelle. En se relançant les uns les autres par toutes sortes d'idées ou de suggestions totalement insensées et dignes de fous furieux, ils sont parfaitement capables de délirer et de perdre les pédales par eux-mêmes. En fait, ils capotent tellement à propos de cette insignifiance, que, par mesure préventive, on devrait les enfermer dans un Centre BéBell transformé en prison, et gardé par la police anti-émeute...


On fait des farces car il vaut mieux en rire qu'en pleurer, mais il faut dénoncer les plans tordus et les menaces proférées par les fefans bipolaires. En soi, gaspiller autant de temps, d'énergie et de ressources sur cette peccadille, c'est honteux et gênant. Alors qu'il y a tant de problèmes urgents et d'évènements tragiques auxquels nous sommes confrontés ici et sur la scène internationale. Quand elle est poussée trop loin, il y a un point où la passion devient une folie. Nous avons franchi cette limite dans l'affaire Chara/Pacioretty...
