Continuity of Agenda: Syria Catastrophe Engineered Under Bush, Executed Verbatim Under Obama


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha1rEhovONU
Wesley Clark ( US 4 Star General ) US will attack 7 countries in 5 years

The real reason why the countries are pushing for a war is NOT for the sake of the innocents living in Syria. Its for one fundamental principle/reason in our contemporary world. There is money in war. Stockpiles of arms laying idle. Arms need to be sold, there's money to be made.

I dont know why u.s and its allies hate syria so much to the estent of spreadind false flag news about assad regime. Lets think wisely and deeply: why is u.s funding those rebels/false jihadists in syria, while they are fighting those in other countries. How comes like this?


The drumbeat of war is being driven by the ambitions of AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee). For those who don't know what AIPAC is, it is the lobbying arm of Israeli and Jewish interest in Washington. They have a lot of influential American politicians in their pocket. The US Congress is filled with Americans of Jewish descent, who belong to AIPAC. Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham, though not of Jewish ancestry, are basically fronts for AIPAC. To oppose AIPAC is to loose election. There are also a lot of leading American businessmen of Jewish descent who fund the activities of AIPAC. By their positioning and strong influence over American foreign policy, virtually all American Presidents dating back to Dwight Eisenhower answer to them.

So to answer your question, AIPAC, and by extension the US government believes that the only way Israel will ever have peace in the Middle East is to ensure that Israel remains the strongest nation in the region. And to accomplish this, they have to weaken every nation state that poses a direct threat to the State of Israel. It also means that sometimes the US has to work and support the enemy (rebels/jihadists) to accomplish its goal. Trust me, the relationship is only temporary as we have witnessed in Libya. As the Chinese Xinxua Government News Agency succinctly stated back in February 2013, "the United States is hiding a dagger behind a smile. In other words, while they appear to be acting out of humanitarian concern for the people of Syria, they are actually harboring hegemonistic ambitions."

One reason this war will happen. The Military Industrial Complex, which influences law makers and earns billions in wars. The people of America don't want it, we the members of the armed forces don't want. The media is portraying the rebels as freedom democracy fighters. That just makes me laugh. Anyhow, if I'm sent there I'll go. Lol.

Why is Saudi Arabia and Qatar supporting the rebels against Assad?

25Calibre: Assad's demands are only logical, in times of uncertainty like this, it would be foolhardy to give up any leverage you might have without significant concessions from the other side.

We are approaching a new era, an era when Europe and America would experience a new wave of highly sophisticated terrorism. Once the war in Syria ends, the jihad will be moved somewhere else.

I agree with the last half of your comment. But the first paragraph is rubbish!
Assad should show commitment to the peace talks and leave Isreal out of this. No one should possess chemical weapons.
Russia and China will not enter into this war.
Russia can only create room for diplomacy which it has done by negotiating for Syria.
Assad should give up his chemical weapons and US will back down.
Besides who cared about the Syrian chemical weapons possession till the civil war began? No one.

All the major Arab countries are agaainst Assad, he just wants to tbe the biblical Pharaoh.

1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is
taken away from being a city, and it shall be a
ruinous heap.
2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for
flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make
them afraid.
3 The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and
the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant
of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children
of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts.
4 And in that day it shall come to pass, that the
glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness
of his flesh shall wax lean.
5 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth
the corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it
shall be as he that gathereth ears in the valley of
Rephaim.
6 Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the
shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in
the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in
the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the
LORD God of Israel.
7 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his
eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.
8 And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his
hands, neither shall respect that which his fingers
have made, either the groves, or the images.
9 In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken
bough, and an uppermost branch, which they
left because of the children of Israel: and there
shall be desolation.
10 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy
salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock
of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant
plants, and shalt set it with strange slips:
11 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and
in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to
flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day
of grief and of desperate sorrow.
12 Woe to the multitude of many people, which make
a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the
rushing of nations, that make a rushing like the
rushing of mighty waters!
13 The nations shall rush like the rushing of many
waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall
flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the
mountains before the wind, and like a rolling
thing before the whirlwind.
14 And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the
morning he is not. This is the portion of them
that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob dus.

And this is the quote you will use to brainwash a fellow human being into killing another, or are you forgetting that thousands will still die in the process. And u call it prophecy. So much for being a Christian.

I like your excellent write up, Op. But I want to seriously digress to the other side if the divide and give 10 cogent reasons why the US and their allies will not attack Syria for now. Yes, I believe it could still happen at a later date, but not very soon and not based on current situation.

1. An attack on Syria, America knows, would completely distabilize the whole of the Middle East and plunge the area into complete chaos and unending wars. The effect on world peace and fuel prices is making the world jittery and China is one of those nations that depend heavily on Middle East oil and they are opposed to any such development which could exert great pressure on their economy, which is presently under threat.

2. Russia has specifically warned that they would not sit down and watch US attack on Syria, particularly based on present 'evidences' provided for stigmatizing of Syria, which is chemical weapons use; the 'red line'. Russia has backed up their threat by deploying naval forces to the area to fortify their presence in the area. They have also stated that they would "respond appropriately" if there is any attack on Syria.

3. Iran and Hezbollah have specifically reiterated their preparedness to intervene in support of Assad should the US engage in a direct involvement in Syria. I believe that the US understands that they are not joking about it. The war would be carried to western fronts one way or another. We should remember that it was US involvement in Iraq and presence in Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations that birthed al Qaeda.

5. The threat of escalation of hostilities in the area on Israel, US most valued allies in the region, is very strong. Though true that efforts are underway to defend Israel, a risk of anihilation of major cities in Isrsel is not one that US would like to take. This, is the major reason why in the first place, the US has restrained Israel from attacking Iranian nuclear sites.

6. It's going to be a herculean task for the West and their allies to prove that it was the Syrian government that are culpable in the use of chemical weapons. Apart from Russian vindication of Assad over the matter, new evidence, which the West continue to ignore, continously point to Syrian Rebels and their allies, like Saudi Arabia and Qatar governments in supply and deployment of the chemicals. The evidences are becoming so obviously strong that even the Syrian Rebels are blocking UN agents commissioned to look into the chemical attacks. Obviously, they don't want the truth discovered and we should all wonder why.

7. Latest efforts to diplomatically resolve the crisis is seriously being considered by Russia and is acceptable to Syria. Russia is working on means to retrieve and destroy Syrian chemical weapons cache and though he has demanded some conditions, I don't believe Assad would insist too strongly when push comes to shove. Assad himself is looking for survival methods and this is one he will not want to miss out on.

8. Just as US has restrained their guts from attacking Iran, they also know that the risk of attacking Syria is similar.

9. Polls indicate that American public opinions are generally against any direct involvement in Syria, particularly with 'evidence' presented so far. The US would have to wait for a latter time to engage Syria in war. The UK parliament specifically opted out of any such involvement. Germany is also standing back. Only France seems to be a willing ally with the US. They would have to wait for another chance, which would offer acceptable proof of Syrian crossing a valid red line.

10. Yes, Christian analysts have generally agreed that Damascus would be completely destroyed based on biblical prophecies, but the prophecy is expected to be fulfilled by the coming Antichrist.

Conclusively, I believe that the time for Syria's attack is not now as conditions are yet to rippen.

kossynerule: Well the situation is not that black and white.Assad is a tyrant that has ruled Syria for a long time and he is no longer popular among his people.When the people you are leading no longer want you,the honorable thing is to step down.America has been in the fore-front of ensuring that democracy and its tenets are upheld in every country of the world,and Obama being the ruler of the free nation cannot abandon that role.In war,like politics,the only thing that remains permanent is interest.No permanent enemy.No permanent ally.and Obama needs the syrian rebels to fight Assad.So Obama aligning with the very enemy that he fights is not his fault.Circumstances change.So u guys should cut him some slacks

You may be missing something out here. The western media want us to believe that Syrians are completely tired of Assad and, this may be partially true. But they also do not want the alternative presented by an Ismamist government that would be introduced by al Qaeda. This can only be obviously realized if you watch alternative news channels like Press TV, where Syrians on the streets are often interviewed for their own opinions. Already, Islamists in Syria are taking advantage of present chaos to burn churches and murder Christians. What will happen if they eventually take over?

I don't like the rule of Assad. I don't like his ascencion to power by inheritance. I don't like his support for Hezbollah... in fact, there are so many things I don't like about Assad and at times when I see him on screen with his long neck stretched out, I want to puke. But this does not mean the truth must not be told.

You seem to believe that US should fight Syria. I wonder what their interest in the area really is. It's the Rebels that are committing the most heinous and barbaric crimes. They molest women, cut throats, eat raw human hearts, kill parents while tying their infant children up to watch, destroy heritage sites, burn churches and slaughter Christians who refuse to convert to Islam. In this war, Assad is not guilty of such crimes, but only of military high handedness in his attempts to quell the rebel uprising.

They dare not try, else third world war on point.

I personally find it quite amusing that those who analyze this scripture and are happy that Damascus would be in ruin as presented by chapters 1 to 3 fail to read the consequences of the reaction on Israel as stated in verses 4 to 11. Note that these verses indicate that when the prophecy of Damascus' destruction is fulfilled, the subsequent chain of reactions would lead to devastation of Israel and finally, verses 12 to 14 confirm that a host of nations would come against and occupy Israel causing great grief to the Israelis.

Why are Zionist Christians (those who support all Isreali actions without any reservation) wishing the invasion of Syria would come quick? Realizing that the events come together makes me wonder why some so much want the US to attack and destroy Syria now just because of Assad. Judging by these verses of Bible, destruction as well as great anguish for Jerusalem follows immediately after!!! Do you really, indeed wish and pray "... for the peace of Jerusalem"? It calls for a deeper understanding.

9 For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.

14 Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against the Lord.

15 Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the Lord: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her.

16 Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.

Jeremiah 51

13 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness.

JMOI: [b]"Reasons why" Sounds like a grammatical error to me
By the way, I strongly believe that none of the parties are really willing to go to war. Obama probably knows the cost of war more than anybody out there, especially with the fragile economy of the US. Secondly, if the US launches an attack in Syria, the latter and its allies are likely to retaliate. They'll most definitely strike Israel as well as US installments in the region. Iran and Lebanon's Hezbollah have always been spoiling for war with Israel and they might see this as the opportune moment to strike. Add Russia and China to the equation and things become even edgier. Of course, if Israel is attacked, they will reply in three folds and that will mean a total annihilation of Lebanon and Damascus.

The US does not actually want to go to war, they are doing this in order to mount pressure on Assad to make him give in to their conditions and also give the rebels an upper hand, because he (Assad) has proven too strong for them. The fact is that there are many parties involved and going to war will be tantamount to Obama declaring War World III, bearing in mind that all the major actors in this game (Russia, Syria, China, Israel, the US, Hezbollah, Iran, Britain and France) possess nuclear weapons.[/b]

My brother your analysis is somhow in line but i assure you, Russia and China will neva engage US but Hezebolla and Iran will definetly attack Israel but that shouldn't be problem. to avert war assad will step down and political solution sort. but i assure you after assad hezebolla question will be raised and dealt with.

US STAY OUT OF SYRIA!!!

Lol...I laugh at you guys trusting the u.s. I won't write much Cos a lot of times,you guys are so damn hard to convince. Muammar Gaddafi of Libya had WMDs (weapons of mass destruction) for a long time & insisted he had them to protect his country against invasion. For years,the west & their allies through the puppet body "U.N." put pressure on him to give them up,he refused. They sanctioned his government internationally severally,he still refused. Eventually, he was trying to get in line with western countries & get over any beef & in 2003 or 2005,(I don't remember the year precisely at this moment but it's one of those two years) he finally gave up his WMDs. Fast forward a few years to 2011,Libya was invaded & infiltrated & Gaddafi murdered. Now,if it were you,wouldn't you learn something from that example?

Its so unfortunate the war chimes are clinging over Syria now...

Eventually, Jihad never dies, its continues!

When Syria is put down, the jihadist simply move on to find a new turf to fight for Allah, still in the Middle East probably...

In the long run, when the $h!t hits the fan, everyone gets sprayed.... Even our own beloved Naija ain't left out...


Bottom line::::: PEACE IS ALL I PRAY FOR (WORDS OF R.KELLY).

What is our national interest if a bunch of Muslim extremist are killing other Muslim extremist? We are going to intervene so after hostilities end, they can kill Americians. Really?

STAY OUT OF SYRIA!!!!

Just in. These are the people the US, Israel, Saudi, Turkey and Qatar are supporting and supplying weapons to........I am so sorry

However, I'm not sure it was the attack on Iraq that birthed Alqaeda
