The Syrian Conspiracy

The hysterical and farcical shrieking of the US government and the western media regarding the events in Syria have been nothing short of preposterous, and a tour-de-force of US hypocrisy.
This hypocrisy and kookiness has recently been highlighted at the UN after Russia and China vetoed the latest US-created Syrian Regime Change Resolution. Susan Rice, the UN representative from Dementia (USA), called Russia and China’s vetoes “disgusting,” and stated that these countries are allowing Syrian civilians to die at the hands of a brutal regime.
But when Palestinians and Lebanese are killed by Zionist bombs, the US “stands with Israel,” and has no moral qualms whatsoever in vetoing any UN resolutions calling for a stop to the massacre of civilians by a hostile foreign state. The US also has no moral dilemmas when it comes to the Bahraini, Yemeni and Saudi government crackdowns on truly peaceful protesters. It refuses to condemn these governments, protects them at the UN and elsewhere, and even sells them tear gas and weaponry so they can more effectively subdue and crush their own citizens desire for self-determination.
When listening to the US media talk about Syria, the hypocrisy and bias against the Syrian government is so strong, that it starts to contradict itself. This morning, I heard some BBC correspondent say on NPR that the constitutional referendum announced by Syrian President Bashar Al Assad is “laughable,” and “will not work.” CNN also has news stories where a US state dept. spokeswoman derides it as irrelevant and that nothing but Al Assad giving up power and stepping down as President will do.
The Arab League has shown itself to be a faithful accomplice to the violence which the US has unleashed in Syria. The vast majority of the AL members are autocratic tyrants who dismissed any calls for change in their own countries, shot at their own people, forbid any demonstrations, and in the case of Bahrain, sent police into hospitals so they could drag  out injured protesters and place them under arrest. Those doctors who refused to let them do so, were also arrested and beaten. So how can these damn hypocrites sit there and issue injunctions and edicts for Al Assad to resign and openly state that they will support the rebels with arms? What is these sheikhs agenda? Judging by their ideologies and actions it is certainly NOT democracy and freedom. If this were the reasons, these sheiks would leave Syria alone and start reforms at home and change their own sorry asses first and foremost!
It is very plain to see that the US and its lapdogs in the west and in the AL will NEVER go along with anything which may bring about a peaceful resolution in Syria. The US does not want a peaceful resolution, effectively going against the majority of the Syrians, who do. The US, along with its western and Arab sheikh puppets created these fake Syrian Transitional Councils and the “Free Syrian Army,” whatever that is, and are arming them with money and weapons in order to overthrown Al Assad. These US-sponsored “opposition” groups are fakes. They are made up of sectarian fanatics, corrupt ex-Syrian government officials who have been dismissed for corruption and other crimes, and now have an axe to grind, and foreign mercenaries.The west has exploited the street protests in Syria by using them as a cover for regime change, just like in Libya.
The importance and effectiveness of these rebels has been exaggerated by the western media, as has the gravity and scope of the so-called “atrocities” supposedly committed by the Syrian government forces. These fake, western created and sponsored Syrian “freedom” fighters” are the only source of information (read disinformation) used by western media about what it going on in Syria. They are disseminating lies, exaggerations and out-of-context stories, images and videos. To say that these reports are biased is an understatement. The western media faithfully swallows all this rebel bunk and also refuses to report the many acts of violence, terror, bombings and murder perpetrated by these rebels upon Syrian civilians and security forces. They do not want people to know the inconvenient facts about their so-called freedom fighters. They don’t want people to know that the death of the French journalist last month was caused by rebel mortar fire. They don't want people to know that foreign snipers are operating in Syria, shooting at civilians and Syrian police and soldiers. Don't believe this last piece of information? Watch the video below:



How many of these people are currently in Syria causing havoc and provoking the Syrian forces? How many more attacks on civilians and soldiers have been deliberately carried out by the rebels and these criminals from the outside and then conveniently blamed on the Syrian government? Most likely quite a few!
By creating these fake rebel and opposition groups, the US has taken the world’s eye off the legitimate opposition groups in Syria, and has effectively made them irrelevant. Why? Because those groups do not want to play along with the US-dictated scenario. These legitimate opposition groups have already stated that they are against violence and against foreign intervention. They want to settle their problems peacefully through dialogue with Al Assad. This does not mesh with US interests, which don’t merely want the overthrow of Al Assad. They want him dead and his government crushed, so that they can install a pro-US puppet regime. A peaceful outcome will not give the US and the Zionist criminals the desired outcome, only a violent one will, just like in Libya. Muammar Gaddafi’s death was not a fluke; it was not just an act of savagery by some hot-headed rebels. It was a premeditated act, planned from the beginning by the US/NATO criminal command that Gaddafi must be killed, and so he was.
The same NATO/US/EU orders stand for Bashar Al Assad. These western assholes don’t care that sectarian strife will plague the country if they succeed. Iraq’s Christian communities have been decimated by Islamic extremists after the US “liberation.” It looks like the US is readying the same scenario for Syria’s Christians as well.  This one example illustrates the chaos, death and misery that awaits Syrians if the US has its way in that country. And to add insult to injury, the Iraqi refugees who are in Syria, who escaped the US war crimes in their country years ago, are set to be given a 2nd dose of US/NATO violence almost 10 years later. Is this what the west and the Arab League wants?
Thankfully, Russia and China stepped forward and put their foot down. This is very crucial, because without a UN resolution, the US/NATO criminal cartel cannot attack Syria and enforce their rotten “regime change,” –oops…”Responsibility to Protect,” which is their newest excuse and cover for overthrowing governments who don’t want to take orders from the US.  This theory, R2P as it is officially called, is supposed to mean that the international community (read the west), has a right to intervene in any country where “human rights” are being violated and “genocide” is taking place.
Of course those people who are being shot at by US-friendly dictators and Zionist occupiers are not covered by this new enlightened theory.
What is going on in Syria is not a real revolution. It is a fake violent uprising which is being led, funded and instigated by the US and their allies against a government which is free of their economic, political and military control, just like Libya and Iraq were. The pathetic western media are deceitfully peddling self-serving rebel propaganda which does not withstand scrutiny. They are exaggerating the events in Syria and making them look much worse than they are.
Faced with broken economies, polarized and tired societies, and a graveyard of economic and social contradictions, the US and the EU are desperately trying to hold on to their power. To do so, they are sacrificing the livelihood and lives of their own citizens in order to take away the livelihood and lives of people in other countries.  
If the US cares so much about Syria, and abhors violence against civilians, then why does it fund , arm and encourage the goon squads which are killing people and provoke the Syrian security forces? If the US cares about the Syrian people, then why does it not let them decide their own future in a peaceful and democratic way?If the US does not want to see Syrian civilians die, why does it ignore any attempts by Al Assad, Russia and anyone else to end the violence and end this chaos peacefully? It seems that the more accommodating and reasonable Al Assad and the Syrian government try to be, the more recalcitrant, angry and violent the rebels and their scummy sponsors become. Strange behavior for people who just want freedom, democracy and peace.
The reason for this psychopathic behavior is that the US governing elite does not care about the Syrian people, not even its own.  They only cares about their economic, military and strategic interests and the subordination of every nation's economy to the US neo-liberal failed free-market hokum. The rest is just cheap propaganda and demagoguery.

The Syrian people must be left alone to decide their own future in a peaceful matter, free of foreign interference, violence and deceit. The most that the world can do is help them organize free elections so they can pick their next leader. If Al Assad happens to win, then so be it.
