Try going directly to you tube hit the CC button at the bottom of the video. Kind of annoying that Assad is speaking in english, dubbed over and then subtitled in english again. Is there a non dubbed version?
Since Bashar Assad gave interview in English, is there the original of the interview without the simultaneous Arabic voice translation anywhere? It would be quite interesting to actually hear the original. I could not find it anywhere on YouTube.
I, too, would really like to hear the original. If it was in English, that means it is menat for an international audience.
Furthermore, the voice-over was a bit monotonous. I was thinking—he seems kind of affektlos.
So, I was actually glad to hear this is not Assad’s voice.
I hope the original English shows up somewhere.

I could not find this interview with the original sound track either. While searching I came across something interesting instead, the 2011 CNN interview of Assad’s wife Asma al-Assad on Zionist atrocities in Gaza. While Bashar Assad is an ophthalmologist by profession, his wife, a Sunni Muslim and a daughter of a London cardiologist, has a BS degree in computer science from King’s College and a diploma in French literature.
No it didn’t.
People have commented especially at Zerohedge.com
Also on a FRIDAY, AFTER THE MARKETS CLOSED.
Not on a Saturday, wink, wink, also only in the West people think 13 is an unlucky number. And quite frankly that is MY lucky number. On the other hand I am NOT a westerner.
Gladio is at FULL SWING right now. Expect other attrocities to follow in SUPPORT of the EURO Aand the Dollar.
Friday the thirteen is the day when French King Phillipe the Fair joined with Catholic Church and grabbed all the Templars…it was the first day of the round-up. I think that’s when it became famous as a day of ill fortune.
Friday, 13 October 1307 when Jacques de Molay and few dozens Templars were arrested then executed by French Philip IV. Freemasons at ‘work’ one would think, noooooooo !!! irrelevant.
@BTW Yes, I also noticed that but in addition, today watching Cross Talk, Dimitri Babitch told us about 2 other terrorist attacks, each of which also had 129 victims….
One attack in Russia, and the other in [Lebanon?]
So Obama is holding back from sending in ground troops, but now, thanks to this terrorist attack, France is coming to US’ rescue. France says their bombing of Syria is legitimate. Note that they have bombed electricity and water …..How is destroying the lives of civilians in Raqqa defeating ISIS?
JE SUIS CHARLIE.
Oh, no, I am joking.
As there were no Je suis Donbass, or other hypocricy marches after the death of Russian people…
Dear French people, time to trial for Hollande, similar in Germany for Merkel…
Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Massoud Jazzayeri warned Washington and its European allies not to replay the September 11 theatre to pressure and attack Muslims by misusing the Friday night’s terrorist events in Paris.
“The French people paid the price for their government’s support for the ISIL and the Takfiri terrorism,” he said.
Jazzayeri warned the US and its allies against misusing the Paris events to attack and pressure the Muslim states like what they did against Afghanistan and Iraq after the 9/11 attacks in 2001 and 2003, and said Iran had many times warned that certain European countries’ support for the terrorists will backfire on their advocates one day.
He also referred to the Thursday terrorist attack in Beirut which killed over 40 people, and said, “The Paris and Beirut blasts are the two sides of the same coin and the international community expects the supporters of Takfiri terrorists, specially the US, France and other western governments, to give up their discriminatory approach and behavior and adopt a common and united position on these crimes.”
The Iranian officials strongly condemned the attacks and called for overall and serious fight against terrorism.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in a message to his French counterpart François Hollande extended his condolences on the killing of people in a series of bombings and shootings in Paris, and reiterated the need for collective efforts to fight against terrorism.
“I, on behalf of the great Iranian nation, which itself has been one of the victims of the ominous phenomenon of terrorism, strongly condemn these anti-human crimes and extend my condolences to the bereaved nation and government of France,” President Rouhani said in his message on Saturday morning.
He expressed deep regret over the killing and wounding of a large number of innocent people in Paris, and said, “Undoubtedly, the world’s most important message in such events is more serious will and determination to launch overall fight against the terrorist groups.”
It was absolutely predictable that the elite would tell us NOT to link the Paris massacre with the influx of illegal Syrian migrants, and Massoud Jazzayeri is not the only powerful figure to implore us to blind ourselves to cause and effect. People who want Europe destroyed by the massive migrant wave of course are trying to suppress opposition, by gagging those of us who see what’s going on. This is NOT an issue of race. It’s a problem of violence and illegality. Two contrasting views are presented at:
Your position represents, in my opinion, the necessary corollary to Western-created Islamist death-squad butchery in the West. The reciprocal blaming of all refugees for what is, in fact, a Western organised atrocity, either a full false-flag, or a real, but enabled jihadist atrocity. The Zionazi ambition is for a Clash of Civilizations between Islam and the West, from which Israel and the Jewish elite will benefit. Things are proceeding according to plan. Who, by the way, are the Quemado Institute? The article that you link to begins with a nonsense assertion that it was the Soviet Union ALONE that was responsible for the war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, and the USA was blameless then, which is complete bunkum.
“Masquerading as a rear guard against Soviet invaders, NATO’s covert forces warped into psychological and physical terrorism. These were the ‘years of lead,’ in which hundreds perished in a synthetic war on the streets of Europe. NATO commander Lyman Lemnitzer ordered serial attacks on French President Charles de Gaulle. Sacked from the Pentagon by John F. Kennedy for rank insubordination, then exiled to Europe, Lemnitzer reaped revenge in Dallas. The secret armies forged bonds with organized crime and neo-fascists. NATO-backed coups struck down governments in Greece and Turkey; the island state of Cyprus was sundered amid bitter genocide. Urban guerillas like the Red Brigades and Baader-Meinhof Gang were cunningly manipulated. Italy gained a deep-state government, the ultra-secret P2 pseudo-masonic lodge founded by former Blackshirts. Swedish PM Olof Palme and Italian ex-PM Aldo Morro were assassinated. Pope John Paul II was shot by Turkish gangsters who had regular work as Gladio guns for hire. In 2009 a Gladio copy-cat outfit codenamed Erkenegon came to light in Turkey. The shootings in Norwai in July 2011, and in Belgium, France and Italy in 2012, all bore the classic stripe of Gladio false-flag operations.
That lead all the way to the ‘unapproved’ and ‘unexpected’ Friday the 13th terror in Paris.
The destruction of the Russian airliner in the Egyptian Sinai on October 31, was an act of terror that has effectively destroyed Egypt’s major industry, Tourism.
A. This act of terror in the Sinai occurred after:
1. The Zionist/American terrorists have repeatedly -failed- to destabilize Egypt (either its economy, or its political and military stability.
2. Egypt has maintained a politically neutral stand toward Russia and Syria (shades of Nasser).
3. (pay attention) Egypt purchased the 2 Mistral Aircraft Carriers from (you guessed it) France. And, guess who is going to help the Egyptian Armed forces prepare the Carriers for active duty?
And guess who will supply the helicopters for the carriers? (you got it).
However; if the Zionist/Americans can Gut the Egyptian economy, and the Egyptians cannot purchase the Carriers, the deal can be aborted. And if Egypt can be destabilized by a ‘terrorist Musilm Fundamentalist/Zionist/American/Liberal/overthrow, as in Libya, Ukraine, and a dozen other nations, then the Zionist-Land-Thieves can advance to the Nile, (which is one of their goals).
B. The Act of Terror in Paris occurred after:
1. The Russian, Syrian, Hezbollah, Iranian, and Iraqi military alliance, after a month of heavy fighting, and aided by highly effective control of the Air by the Russian Air Corps, achieved hard fought and significant military breakthroughs on several fronts in Syria, and in the process, inflicted military defeats on Zionist/American/British terrorists, and their bought assortment of mercenaries.
2. This military “Turning of the tide,” to use Tolkien terms, provoked the desperate terrorist cruelties in Paris.
3. France, and specifically, Paris, remains the political center of Europe, and likely, the world. France is the preferred abode of the Rothschilds, and the other major Jewish/Zionist/American/Anglo/French Oligarchs who aspire to dominate a politically uni-polar world (no matter the cost in blood and sadness).
Would you live in Tel Aviv, or Jerusalem, or Washington DC, if you had a choice?
Paris, the Riviera, Monte Carlo, short stop overs in New York City (just Manhattan), some Caribbean (in season), London for a show, or to see a Queen (there’s a joke in there – see if you can find it). Love of country is long passé; although, the “Greater Judah” remains on the menu.
But I digress. Maybe not.
*The Key question is where does this terrorist False Flag lead us to? Yes it is a False Flag. All terror is a False Flag – designed to lead to a chasm with no exit.
Dieudonné, Soral, and Marine Le Pen, insist that France is a Victim. They are correct. The French, and, through them, all Europe, are being frightened, as they were in 1939, and then they were rendered incapable of resistance. The French must realize, that, as Karl Leibknecht said: “The enemy is at home!”
What do we do?
We must stick to our VISION.
Use our common sense. The imperialists will not save us from their filth. They are filth.
We must restore our Republics, our morality, our democratic politics. Build our governments. Arm ourselves, morally and militarily. See the Russians do not fight alone. Russians have friends in the Middle East; they must have friends everywhere.
For the Democratic Republics!
For the victims in Paris, the Russians in the Sinai, and the hundreds of thousands in Syria!
@if Egypt can be destabilized by a ‘terrorist Musilm Fundamentalist/Zionist/American/Liberal/overthrow, as in Libya, Ukraine, and a dozen other nations, then the Zionist-Land-Thieves can advance to the Nile, (which is one of their goals).
Very good observation. The goals of Israel were formulated clearly alredy in 1982 by Oded Yinon:
“(Regaining) the Sinai peninsula with its present and potential resources is therefore a political priority which is obstructed by the Camp David and the peace agreements….
The economic situation in Egypt, the nature of the regime and its pan-Arab policy, will bring about a situation after April 1982 in which Israel will be forced to act directly or indirectly in order to regain control over Sinai as a strategic, economic and energy reserve for the long run. Egypt does not constitute a military strategic problem due to its internal conflicts and it could be driven back to the post 1967 war situation in no more than one day…
Breaking Egypt down territorially into distinct geographical regions is the political aim of Israel in the Nineteen Eighties on its Western front….
You can read the rest which is the exact description (in advance) of what happens now. Keep in mind that the plans were drawn centuries ago and masked as “prophecies”.
it had to do with internecine struggles, sibling jealousy, a monopoly on food, deception and disguises, arcane prophecies, and enslaving the locals, until the Egyptian worm turned.
Long story short, there seems to have been more to eat in Egypt than in Canaan. Which stands to reason, since they have the Nile in Egypt.
Recent archaeology (last 30 years) has proved there never were any Jewish slaves in Egypt. Egyptian monuments & Pyramids were constructed by Free Egyptian Contracted labor. The names of many of the Contractors are known (etched in stone), even the houses where they and the hired laborers lived have been excavated. Egyptian laborers were mostly seasonally unemployed farmers.
Now, 90% of all construction work in occupied Palestine, (Tel Aviv, to Jerusalem), is done by low paid exploited Palestinian labor. They construct the settlements and temples, and clean the army bases.
Thank you for this brief interview. Very succinct and to the point.
Pres. Assad summed it up really – the French Govt. and intelligence services can’t have it both ways – you can’t support terrorists and then be surprised when these attacks happen.
The French Government needs to start working for its people – like every other EU inverterbrate Govt.
I hope it is not true, but I just heard from one of the main propaganda channels NPR that the Vienna meeting parties have agreed to a “Transitional government” in Syria in six months….
I don’t listen to NPR anymore. Very predictable.
Except Click and Clack The Car Guys, on Saturday morning. They are really worthwhile.
Although the people claling in with questions have become more and more sycophantic over the years, styling themselves as standup comics instead of just asking their question in a normal, sincere way and letting the show’s hosts do the funny thing.
Most of the questioners are not very funny.
Which I mention only in the context of everything becoming performance nowadays and everyone thinking it is cool and they are smart to constantly wisecrack, etc.
End of rant.
Almost.
Click and Clack really are funny.
Otherwise, forget NPR.
Katherine
Not boldness of npr, goebbelsian “chutzpah”. Npr is as zionazi as the rest of the Jewish dominated western media. They may seem different than fox faggot news, but it’s simply a different version of the same sales pitch, to hook an audience with a slightly different form of indoctrination.
Thanks peter, astonishing and informative rant about the origins of IS. To talk about syrians being denied “jobs and opportunities” and denied an arab spring creating IS is straight out of ga ga land. Assad’s symbiotic relations with IS, etc. It shows the US are seriously deluded. To think Lavrov was sitting there too, he must have been cringing, it’s diplomacy with mentally deranged partners, it must be like agreeing with patients with alzheimers most of the time. Kerry has a strange habit with his tongue when he talks, it functions like the return key on an old mechanical typewriter.
Peter, Kerry/Cohen is a real devotee of Adolph’s ‘Big Lie’ theory, and Goebbels’ ‘repeat the lie until it becomes accepted as the truth’ proposition. Are there any members of the Western elite left who are NOT psychopathic liars?
“There is no instance of a country having benefited from a prolonged war. A prolonged war is always of detriment to the state. It is only those thoroughly acquainted in the ways of evil that know how to benefit from a prolonged war.”
Question:
Why does NATO/GCC/Commonwealth countries support ISIS and al-Qaeda and thus prolonge what the GWB administration called The 70 Year War, and The Long War, and thus lead Western countries to an economic collaps?
Answer:
If that is what the Anglo-zionists are doing, that is what they want.
A bunch of ridiculously rich clowns were bored with their golden toilets and hundreds of young slave boys. To relieve themselves from their nihilistic nausea they decided to do ‘something big’.
“Let’s call it the New World Order”, an early incarnation of George W. suggested and the whole kosher assembly farted with delight.
That was approximately three thousand years ago, the New World Order – still a nebulous, unrealized mirage – has become a bio-hazard, moldy and stale.
Its proponents – looking invariably like ghosts from trans-Plutonian deep space – occupy nowadays all public offices, have all the money and all the power. And yet: a soggy bagel has more chutzpah than the whole sorry bunch of them.
I am reminded of the Tower of Babel. God sowed confusion by making men speak different languages instead of the one original language. He apparently thought men were too proud and their tower building proved it. The irony is that God told the Babylonians to build the tower speaking as a Babylonian God. Was God confused?
The Saker counsels to wait until the facts are in. But we can’t wait and have to put our two cents worth in, including this. The world is awash with talk in thousands of languages by minds that never rest. Even if the Saker community reaches a consensus, is it true? Only the perpetrators know for sure and they’re not going to say.
Assad speaks in English which is translated into English? Confusion reigns.
As for me, I go back to the original language of love spoken in a culture of love. It loses much in the translation into English but it’s better than confusion.
Dylan asks “they chirp and they chatter, what does it matter?” I think the mind and its ideas do matter. A kind mind is better than a blind mind.
“You can tell if a Mind’s in hell: it’s Blind as a bat and unkind as well. A Kind Mind would not knock down towers in pursuit of powers; nor call nine one one on nine eleven and make a hell out of heaven; then blame the wrong one for what they themselves have done.” -thelovegovernment.com
Marduk was the Babylonian god that commanded the Tower of Babel to be built. Read the mythology in Zechariah Sitchin’s Lost Book of Enki. It will blow your mind. It is far out, man!
Lord Enki, Anunnaki “god,” created mankind. Zechariah Sitchin, you’ve heard of him and his “Earth Chronicles,” no doubt. The Lost Book of Enki was his last or next to last book before he died recently. Enki is the Egyptian “Ptah” and his son Marduk is the Egyptian “Ra” to give you some reference. It’s all very confusing, but ‘the lost book’ explains it all.
These books are interesting because back in the days of ancient Sumer, the other Anunnaki “gods” wanted regime change in Egypt because Marduk was getting too big for his britches and they wanted him deposed and exiled, so they “buried” him alive inside the great pyramid at Giza. Regime change has been around for a long long time.
Assad: He took exactly the correct stand vis a vis France–Hollande needs to get real about terrorism. The white elephant in the room that no one wants to mention is that Russia is already taking care of things so thank you no need for your aircraft carrier to make a port call.
It wasn’t a modest foreign policy, but it was a discreet one.
Today that circumspect diplomacy is in ruins, and the House of Saud looks more vulnerable than it has since the country was founded in 1926. Unraveling the reasons for the current train wreck is a study in how easily hubris, delusion, and old-fashioned ineptness can trump even bottomless wealth.
Using its vast oil wealth, it’s quietly spread its ultra-conservative brand of Islam throughout the Muslim world, secretly undermined secular regimes in its region, and prudently kept to the shadows while others did the fighting and dying. It was Saudi money that fueled the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan, underwrote Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Iran, and bankrolled Islamic movements and terrorist groups from the Caucasus to the Hindu Kush.
The kingdom’s first stumble was a strategic decision last fall to undermine competitors by scaling up its oil production and thus lowering the global price.
They figured that if the price of a barrel of oil dropped from over $100 to around $80, it would strangle competitors that relied on more expensive sources and new technologies, including the U.S. fracking industry, companies exploring the Arctic, and emergent producers like Brazil. That, in turn, would allow Riyadh to reclaim its shrinking share of the energy market. There was also the added benefit that lower oil prices would damage oil-reliant countries that the Saudis didn’t like – including Russia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Iran.
While oil prices will likely rise over the next five years, projections are that the price per barrel won’t top $65 for the foreseeable future. Saudi debt is on schedule to rise from 6.7 percent of GDP this year to 17.3 percent next year, and its 2015 budget deficit is $130 billion.
When the Arab Spring broke out in 2011, Saudi Arabia headed it off by pumping $130 billion into the economy, raising wages, improving services, and providing jobs for its growing population. Saudi Arabia has one of the youngest populations in the Middle East, many of whom are unemployed and poorly educated. Some 25 percent of the population lives in poverty. Money keeps the lid on, but – even with the heavy-handed repression that characterizes Saudi political life – for how long?
Meanwhile they’re racking up bills with ill-advised foreign interventions. In March, the kingdom intervened in Yemen’s civil conflict, launching an air war, a naval blockade, and partial ground campaign on the pretense that Iran was behind one of the war’s factions – a conclusion not even the Americans agree with.
Again, the Saudis miscalculated, even though one of their major allies, Pakistan, warned them they were headed for trouble. In part, the kingdom’s hubris was fed by the illusion that US support would make it a short war. The Americans are arming the Saudis, supplying them with bombing targets, backing up the naval blockade, and refueling their warplanes in midair.
As the Saudis are finding out, war is a very expensive business – a burden they could meet under normal circumstances, but not when the price of the kingdom’s only commodity, oil, is plummeting.
Nor is Yemen the only war that the Saudis are involved in. Riyadh, along with Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, are underwriting many of the groups trying to overthrow Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. When antigovernment demonstrations broke out there in 2011, the Saudis – along with the Americans and the Turks – calculated that Assad could be toppled in a few months.
But that was magical thinking. As bad as Assad is, a lot of Syrians – particularly minorities like Shiites, Christians, and Druze – were far more afraid of the Islamists from al-Qaeda and the Islamic State than they were of their own government. So the war has dragged on for four years and has now killed close to 250,000 people.
Once again, the Saudis miscalculated, though in this case they were hardly alone. The Syrian government turned out to be more resilient than it appeared. And Riyadh’s bottom line that Assad had to go just ended up bringing Iran and Russia into the picture, checkmating any direct intervention by the anti-Assad coalition. Any attempt to establish a no-fly zone against Assad will now have to confront the Russian air force – not something that anyone other than certain US presidential aspirants are eager to do.
However, the House of Saud has little choice but to keep pumping oil to pay for its wars and keep the internal peace. Yet more production drives down prices even further. And once the sanctions come off Iran, the oil glut will become worse.
While it’s still immensely wealthy, there are lots of bills coming due. It’s not clear the kingdom has the capital or the ability to meet them.
France wants sympathy all the while they send terrorists to cause mayhem in other countries?
France send rockets, ATGM’s, army rifles, guns and other supplies to terrorists to kill people far away. We are with deh French when killing brown people..
#ISIS & #Nusra in #Syria are receiving large shipments of weapons. #Russia’s Question about its sources still open
Briefing by Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova, Moscow, November 12, 2015
Roger Cukierman, the president of France’s powerful Jewish Lobby CRIF confirmed on Friday after the attack that no Jewish institutions was attacked by the terrorists and no Jew was among the victims (reported by JTA, November 13). However, he said that the private Jewish protection militia (JDL) has been put on alert.
Cukierman forgot to tell JTA that the Bataclan theatre which was attacked on Friday was owned by two Jews, Pascal and Joel Laloux, for nearly 40 years. They sold it in September 2015.
Former White House official, Dr. Paul Craig Robert has called the Friday Paris attack another false flag operation like the Boston Marathon Bombing to demonize Muslims and Islam.
Toni Cartalucci adds 1 + 1 and makes the right conclusions. Dot connecting has never been easier.
” Just last week, Syrian forces reestablished firm control over the Kweyris military airport, which was under siege for years. The airport is just 20 miles from the Euphrates, and, as Syrian forces backed by Russian airpower work their way up toward the Turkish border along the Syrian coast, constitutes a unified front that will essentially cut off ISIS deeper inside Syria for good.
Should ISIS’ supply lines be cut in the north, the organization’s otherwise inexplicable fighting capacity will atrophy. The window for the West’s « regime change » opportunity is quickly closing, and perhaps in a last ditch effort, France has jammed the spilled blood and broken bodies of its own citizens beneath the window to prevent it from closing for good.”
PARIS THE 13TH – THE AGENDA (valid for all EU member states)
1) further militarization of the police forces.
2) further breaking-down and dissolving ther borders of all European Nation States
3) further terrorizing the populations into submissiveness (the 24/7 propaganda doesn’t work anymore)
4) instigating Civil War like conditions in all EU member states through radicalizing the populations.
5) creating the preconditions for NATO military action against Russia.
6) desperate attempt to rescue everybody’s favorite pet project – ISIS
Need a Syrian passport? A make a special price for you!
” The EU government are insisting on not working with the Syrian government, therefore not receiving Syrian intelligence data on those entering Europe as refugees.
Even the data shared between Russian and Syria are not passed to the EU due the the European approach toward the Ukrainian crisis.
Also, the opposition is forging Syrian passports to be used outside Syria, and because we do not share any data with any EU government, these passports can easily be used outside Syria; that is because the EU do not go back to Syrian databases and thus they cannot know whether the documentations were Government Issued or forged passports.
Perhaps this is one of the most significant examples:
A forged passport and an ID card cost the journalist US $825, he said on Twitter. He only had to make a phone call to order the fake documents, and was able to pick them up all ready within 40 hours. The man was told he would be able to enter Cyprus with his newly obtained documents.
Both were under the fake name of Malek Ramadan, but had the photograph of the Dutch PM Mark Rutte printed on them. The journalist said it wasn’t an initial idea to have the picture of the high-ranking official on the document, he just opted for it when asked to supply a name and a photograph – which only shows you can have pretty much anything printed on “good quality” fake documents.
The wheels are falling off.. The rhetoric is just plain looney.. I think many of these shills are paid because they think others actually believe their lies. If they use marketing gimmicks and potent words, we will equate it with those they are targeting.. Pathetic wretches for human beings. Seems the ratio of liars is still like 80%.. We are supposed to just believe these lies.. next would be Assad throwing babies out of IS’s incubators.. Russia and Assad are just bombing hospitals and blowing up civilians..
Reality on the ground means nothing.. IS is retreating on a wide front. They never had defense in depth to begin with so when the front breaks it is all over. SAA supply lines cant keep up with the speed of advancements and have to stop for it to catch up.
So a country where you get the death penalty for organizing peaceful protests.. wants to decide who rules in other countries.. Because other countries are run by dikatotors and their people deserve freedom.
Lavrov to Jubeir: Is Saudi Authorized to Decide Who Rules Syria?
“Is Saudi authorized to decide who will represent the Syrian people?” Lavrov addressed Saudi FM, Adel al-Jubeir who is attending the talks in the Austrian capital.
“You can refer to the text of the last meeting…. Syrians are who decide the fate of their country, including Assad’s fate,” Lavrov added, according to our correspondent.
Burj al-Barajneh Palestinian camp, Beirut
At least 46 confirmed deaths as families claim the bodies of their departed loved ones and nearly 250 wounded, many seriously, are being treated at the three Shia run hospitals, Al-Sahel, Bahman and Al-Rassoul Al-Aazam in this observer’s south Beirut neighborhood of Haret Hreik. This morning (11/13/2015), Dr. Mahmoud Mansour, the chief of the emergency department at Bahman Hospital told this observer that his hospital recorded 20 deaths, and treated approximately 100 victims, approximately 20 percent of whom are in critical condition.
Beirut’s Explosion: The Sunni-Shia Bellum Sanctum Returns to Hezbollah’s Security Zone
All are victims of the 6 p.m. rush hour terrorist bombings deep inside Hezbollah’s security zone on 11/12/2015 that targeted civilians who were shopping at street markets or gathering at the local Husseiniyeh (Mosque) for the fourth of the five daily prayers, Salat al-Magrib, held in the early evening just after sunset.
Looks like by the time nato decides to invade it will be all over. With IS bottled up into pockets.
Syrian Army Captures the Helicopter Airfield in the Strategic Marj Al-Sultan Airbase
Syrian Army Secures Aleppo-Hama Road
ISIS has been driven out of Mahin, SE of Homs & Assad forces are pushing twds Al Qaryatayn, 19 km east. ISIS’s attempt to join its Syrian caliphate with Arsal, Lebanon. It just kissed it goodbye. Now ISIS is definitely split in 3
Also, reported ISIS has retreated from multiples villages in central-east Homs back to Raqqa, it may mean ISIS is regrouping and strengthening their key cities after the fall of Sinjar and Hawl cities and the liberation of Kuweirs and the close to happen fall of Ramadi. ISIS may indeed be badly hurt by RuAF 45 day bombings and maybe running out of recruits.
The brutal clampdown by the butcher of Paris, Hollande, has shown again the urgency to supply the moderate opposition with more weapons, so they can defend a united France against the barrel bombs of a brutal dictator.
Assad’s comments make little sense. For the French deep State, the attack is not terrorism, so no use warning them against terrorism. The French people suffered, but they do not decide who not to support in Syria. Unless the talk was diplomatic, it only took away the guard of the Syrian people. He should have said things like Iran’s army chief: don’t use the attack to victimise muslim countries, don’t come to Syria to bomb just give us intelligence on ISIS and FSA will deal with them. If France must bomb ISIS, start from Molsul, etc. Now it sounds like he is almost happy thaat France got a taste ofher own bitter medicine!
Paris shooting at the Jewish-owned theatre sold in September 2015 after 40 years, and Rothschild-owned Charlie Hebdo office and Jewish kosher market in January 2015 were Israeli false flag operation. To understand who did it and why Muslims were blamed for that – read French Jewish historian, Emmanuel Todd’s latest book, “Who is Charlie?”.
… in case it slipped someone’s attention …
… the Paris operation took place on Friday the 13th!
@BTW
I think most of us noticed that point.
Did the subtitles for the video work for you (BTW)? They didn’t work for me, anyone else have problems with the subtitles?
The subtitles worked for me, if that helps.
Try going directly to you tube hit the CC button at the bottom of the video. Kind of annoying that Assad is speaking in english, dubbed over and then subtitled in english again. Is there a non dubbed version?
Since Bashar Assad gave interview in English, is there the original of the interview without the simultaneous Arabic voice translation anywhere? It would be quite interesting to actually hear the original. I could not find it anywhere on YouTube.

So, I was actually glad to hear this is not Assad’s voice.
I hope the original English shows up somewhere.

@ Katherine
I could not find this interview with the original sound track either. While searching I came across something interesting instead, the 2011 CNN interview of Assad’s wife Asma al-Assad on Zionist atrocities in Gaza. While Bashar Assad is an ophthalmologist by profession, his wife, a Sunni Muslim and a daughter of a London cardiologist, has a BS degree in computer science from King’s College and a diploma in French literature.

Iran’s Deputy Top Commander Warns US, European Allies Not to Misuse Paris Tragedy against Muslims.
http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.aspx?nn=13940823001420
Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Massoud Jazzayeri warned Washington and its European allies not to replay the September 11 theatre to pressure and attack Muslims by misusing the Friday night’s terrorist events in Paris.
“The French people paid the price for their government’s support for the ISIL and the Takfiri terrorism,” he said.
Jazzayeri warned the US and its allies against misusing the Paris events to attack and pressure the Muslim states like what they did against Afghanistan and Iraq after the 9/11 attacks in 2001 and 2003, and said Iran had many times warned that certain European countries’ support for the terrorists will backfire on their advocates one day.
He also referred to the Thursday terrorist attack in Beirut which killed over 40 people, and said, “The Paris and Beirut blasts are the two sides of the same coin and the international community expects the supporters of Takfiri terrorists, specially the US, France and other western governments, to give up their discriminatory approach and behavior and adopt a common and united position on these crimes.”
The Iranian officials strongly condemned the attacks and called for overall and serious fight against terrorism.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in a message to his French counterpart François Hollande extended his condolences on the killing of people in a series of bombings and shootings in Paris, and reiterated the need for collective efforts to fight against terrorism.
“I, on behalf of the great Iranian nation, which itself has been one of the victims of the ominous phenomenon of terrorism, strongly condemn these anti-human crimes and extend my condolences to the bereaved nation and government of France,” President Rouhani said in his message on Saturday morning.
He expressed deep regret over the killing and wounding of a large number of innocent people in Paris, and said, “Undoubtedly, the world’s most important message in such events is more serious will and determination to launch overall fight against the terrorist groups.”
It was absolutely predictable that the elite would tell us NOT to link the Paris massacre with the influx of illegal Syrian migrants, and Massoud Jazzayeri is not the only powerful figure to implore us to blind ourselves to cause and effect. People who want Europe destroyed by the massive migrant wave of course are trying to suppress opposition, by gagging those of us who see what’s going on. This is NOT an issue of race. It’s a problem of violence and illegality. Two contrasting views are presented at:

Paris Attacks: Causes and Solutions – a Response to Analyst Daniel Lazare
Who Fueled the Terror in Paris and
What Should be Done about it Now?
Your position represents, in my opinion, the necessary corollary to Western-created Islamist death-squad butchery in the West. The reciprocal blaming of all refugees for what is, in fact, a Western organised atrocity, either a full false-flag, or a real, but enabled jihadist atrocity. The Zionazi ambition is for a Clash of Civilizations between Islam and the West, from which Israel and the Jewish elite will benefit. Things are proceeding according to plan. Who, by the way, are the Quemado Institute? The article that you link to begins with a nonsense assertion that it was the Soviet Union ALONE that was responsible for the war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, and the USA was blameless then, which is complete bunkum.
Gladio
Nato’s Dagger at the Heart of Europe
The Pentagon-Nazi-Mafia Terror Axis
by Richard Cotrell
This blurb says it all:
“Masquerading as a rear guard against Soviet invaders, NATO’s covert forces warped into psychological and physical terrorism. These were the ‘years of lead,’ in which hundreds perished in a synthetic war on the streets of Europe. NATO commander Lyman Lemnitzer ordered serial attacks on French President Charles de Gaulle. Sacked from the Pentagon by John F. Kennedy for rank insubordination, then exiled to Europe, Lemnitzer reaped revenge in Dallas. The secret armies forged bonds with organized crime and neo-fascists. NATO-backed coups struck down governments in Greece and Turkey; the island state of Cyprus was sundered amid bitter genocide. Urban guerillas like the Red Brigades and Baader-Meinhof Gang were cunningly manipulated. Italy gained a deep-state government, the ultra-secret P2 pseudo-masonic lodge founded by former Blackshirts. Swedish PM Olof Palme and Italian ex-PM Aldo Morro were assassinated. Pope John Paul II was shot by Turkish gangsters who had regular work as Gladio guns for hire. In 2009 a Gladio copy-cat outfit codenamed Erkenegon came to light in Turkey. The shootings in Norwai in July 2011, and in Belgium, France and Italy in 2012, all bore the classic stripe of Gladio false-flag operations.

That lead all the way to the ‘unapproved’ and ‘unexpected’ Friday the 13th terror in Paris.
The destruction of the Russian airliner in the Egyptian Sinai on October 31, was an act of terror that has effectively destroyed Egypt’s major industry, Tourism.
A. This act of terror in the Sinai occurred after:
1. The Zionist/American terrorists have repeatedly -failed- to destabilize Egypt (either its economy, or its political and military stability.
2. Egypt has maintained a politically neutral stand toward Russia and Syria (shades of Nasser).
3. (pay attention) Egypt purchased the 2 Mistral Aircraft Carriers from (you guessed it) France. And, guess who is going to help the Egyptian Armed forces prepare the Carriers for active duty?
And guess who will supply the helicopters for the carriers? (you got it).
However; if the Zionist/Americans can Gut the Egyptian economy, and the Egyptians cannot purchase the Carriers, the deal can be aborted. And if Egypt can be destabilized by a ‘terrorist Musilm Fundamentalist/Zionist/American/Liberal/overthrow, as in Libya, Ukraine, and a dozen other nations, then the Zionist-Land-Thieves can advance to the Nile, (which is one of their goals).
B. The Act of Terror in Paris occurred after:
1. The Russian, Syrian, Hezbollah, Iranian, and Iraqi military alliance, after a month of heavy fighting, and aided by highly effective control of the Air by the Russian Air Corps, achieved hard fought and significant military breakthroughs on several fronts in Syria, and in the process, inflicted military defeats on Zionist/American/British terrorists, and their bought assortment of mercenaries.
2. This military “Turning of the tide,” to use Tolkien terms, provoked the desperate terrorist cruelties in Paris.
3. France, and specifically, Paris, remains the political center of Europe, and likely, the world. France is the preferred abode of the Rothschilds, and the other major Jewish/Zionist/American/Anglo/French Oligarchs who aspire to dominate a politically uni-polar world (no matter the cost in blood and sadness).
Would you live in Tel Aviv, or Jerusalem, or Washington DC, if you had a choice?
Paris, the Riviera, Monte Carlo, short stop overs in New York City (just Manhattan), some Caribbean (in season), London for a show, or to see a Queen (there’s a joke in there – see if you can find it). Love of country is long passé; although, the “Greater Judah” remains on the menu.
But I digress. Maybe not.
*The Key question is where does this terrorist False Flag lead us to? Yes it is a False Flag. All terror is a False Flag – designed to lead to a chasm with no exit.
Dieudonné, Soral, and Marine Le Pen, insist that France is a Victim. They are correct. The French, and, through them, all Europe, are being frightened, as they were in 1939, and then they were rendered incapable of resistance. The French must realize, that, as Karl Leibknecht said: “The enemy is at home!”
What do we do?
We must stick to our VISION.
Use our common sense. The imperialists will not save us from their filth. They are filth.
We must restore our Republics, our morality, our democratic politics. Build our governments. Arm ourselves, morally and militarily. See the Russians do not fight alone. Russians have friends in the Middle East; they must have friends everywhere.
For the Democratic Republics!
For the victims in Paris, the Russians in the Sinai, and the hundreds of thousands in Syria!
IMAGINE
@if Egypt can be destabilized by a ‘terrorist Musilm Fundamentalist/Zionist/American/Liberal/overthrow, as in Libya, Ukraine, and a dozen other nations, then the Zionist-Land-Thieves can advance to the Nile, (which is one of their goals).
Very good observation. The goals of Israel were formulated clearly alredy in 1982 by Oded Yinon:
“(Regaining) the Sinai peninsula with its present and potential resources is therefore a political priority which is obstructed by the Camp David and the peace agreements….
The economic situation in Egypt, the nature of the regime and its pan-Arab policy, will bring about a situation after April 1982 in which Israel will be forced to act directly or indirectly in order to regain control over Sinai as a strategic, economic and energy reserve for the long run. Egypt does not constitute a military strategic problem due to its internal conflicts and it could be driven back to the post 1967 war situation in no more than one day…
Breaking Egypt down territorially into distinct geographical regions is the political aim of Israel in the Nineteen Eighties on its Western front….
You can read the rest which is the exact description (in advance) of what happens now. Keep in mind that the plans were drawn centuries ago and masked as “prophecies”.
So, “never forget” actually also means:
“Never forget slavery in Egypt”?
Like, where we were before Yaweh “promised” us the land of Judah/Canaan, or whatever?
Let’s see, how DID the Israelites end up as slaves in Egypt?? (Love Google! )
Well, as recounted here
https://www.quora.com/How-did-the-Hebrews-end-up-as-slaves-in-Egypt-Why-did-they-leave-Canaan
it had to do with internecine struggles, sibling jealousy, a monopoly on food, deception and disguises, arcane prophecies, and enslaving the locals, until the Egyptian worm turned.
Long story short, there seems to have been more to eat in Egypt than in Canaan. Which stands to reason, since they have the Nile in Egypt.
Katherine
Recent archaeology (last 30 years) has proved there never were any Jewish slaves in Egypt. Egyptian monuments & Pyramids were constructed by Free Egyptian Contracted labor. The names of many of the Contractors are known (etched in stone), even the houses where they and the hired laborers lived have been excavated. Egyptian laborers were mostly seasonally unemployed farmers.
Now, 90% of all construction work in occupied Palestine, (Tel Aviv, to Jerusalem), is done by low paid exploited Palestinian labor. They construct the settlements and temples, and clean the army bases.
Dear The Saker,
Thank you for this brief interview. Very succinct and to the point.
Pres. Assad summed it up really – the French Govt. and intelligence services can’t have it both ways – you can’t support terrorists and then be surprised when these attacks happen.
The French Government needs to start working for its people – like every other EU inverterbrate Govt.
Rgds,
Veritas
thats like accepting isis attacked paris…I thought its false flag
ISIL is Empire creation and funded by…thus a false flag
I hope it is not true, but I just heard from one of the main propaganda channels NPR that the Vienna meeting parties have agreed to a “Transitional government” in Syria in six months….
Nope.
There is no such thing. The agreement is for a government of unity, led by Assad. Then after a couple of years, elections.
In any case, the Vienna talks are just buying time. The fate of the world will be decided on the battlefield.
thanks, it’s incredible the boldness of NPR spreading lies as news is getting more and more blatant!
NPR is favored by the American cruise missile left and “Progressive” imperialists–as opposed to Fox News which caters to the Right wing warmongers.
NPR=National Propaganda Radio
I don’t listen to NPR anymore. Very predictable.
Except Click and Clack The Car Guys, on Saturday morning. They are really worthwhile.
Although the people claling in with questions have become more and more sycophantic over the years, styling themselves as standup comics instead of just asking their question in a normal, sincere way and letting the show’s hosts do the funny thing.
Most of the questioners are not very funny.
Which I mention only in the context of everything becoming performance nowadays and everyone thinking it is cool and they are smart to constantly wisecrack, etc.
End of rant.
Almost.
Click and Clack really are funny.
Otherwise, forget NPR.

Not boldness of npr, goebbelsian “chutzpah”. Npr is as zionazi as the rest of the Jewish dominated western media. They may seem different than fox faggot news, but it’s simply a different version of the same sales pitch, to hook an audience with a slightly different form of indoctrination.

The problem with speaking the truth is no one understands it any more.
French government? They are the prime fuse lighters of Muslim blowback into the West.

Thanks peter, astonishing and informative rant about the origins of IS. To talk about syrians being denied “jobs and opportunities” and denied an arab spring creating IS is straight out of ga ga land. Assad’s symbiotic relations with IS, etc. It shows the US are seriously deluded. To think Lavrov was sitting there too, he must have been cringing, it’s diplomacy with mentally deranged partners, it must be like agreeing with patients with alzheimers most of the time. Kerry has a strange habit with his tongue when he talks, it functions like the return key on an old mechanical typewriter.
Peter, Kerry/Cohen is a real devotee of Adolph’s ‘Big Lie’ theory, and Goebbels’ ‘repeat the lie until it becomes accepted as the truth’ proposition. Are there any members of the Western elite left who are NOT psychopathic liars?

Sun Tzu said:
“There is no instance of a country having benefited from a prolonged war. A prolonged war is always of detriment to the state. It is only those thoroughly acquainted in the ways of evil that know how to benefit from a prolonged war.”
Question:
Why does NATO/GCC/Commonwealth countries support ISIS and al-Qaeda and thus prolonge what the GWB administration called The 70 Year War, and The Long War, and thus lead Western countries to an economic collaps?
Answer:
If that is what the Anglo-zionists are doing, that is what they want.
Nuovo Ordo Seclorum.
“Nuovo Ordo Seclorum”
Yes, very funny.
A bunch of ridiculously rich clowns were bored with their golden toilets and hundreds of young slave boys. To relieve themselves from their nihilistic nausea they decided to do ‘something big’.
“Let’s call it the New World Order”, an early incarnation of George W. suggested and the whole kosher assembly farted with delight.
That was approximately three thousand years ago, the New World Order – still a nebulous, unrealized mirage – has become a bio-hazard, moldy and stale.
Its proponents – looking invariably like ghosts from trans-Plutonian deep space – occupy nowadays all public offices, have all the money and all the power. And yet: a soggy bagel has more chutzpah than the whole sorry bunch of them.
I am reminded of the Tower of Babel. God sowed confusion by making men speak different languages instead of the one original language. He apparently thought men were too proud and their tower building proved it. The irony is that God told the Babylonians to build the tower speaking as a Babylonian God. Was God confused?
The Saker counsels to wait until the facts are in. But we can’t wait and have to put our two cents worth in, including this. The world is awash with talk in thousands of languages by minds that never rest. Even if the Saker community reaches a consensus, is it true? Only the perpetrators know for sure and they’re not going to say.
Assad speaks in English which is translated into English? Confusion reigns.
As for me, I go back to the original language of love spoken in a culture of love. It loses much in the translation into English but it’s better than confusion.
Dylan asks “they chirp and they chatter, what does it matter?” I think the mind and its ideas do matter. A kind mind is better than a blind mind.
“You can tell if a Mind’s in hell: it’s Blind as a bat and unkind as well. A Kind Mind would not knock down towers in pursuit of powers; nor call nine one one on nine eleven and make a hell out of heaven; then blame the wrong one for what they themselves have done.” -thelovegovernment.com
Marduk was the Babylonian god that commanded the Tower of Babel to be built. Read the mythology in Zechariah Sitchin’s Lost Book of Enki. It will blow your mind. It is far out, man!
is that a gnostic text ? The Lost Book of Enki…who is Enki ?
Lord Enki, Anunnaki “god,” created mankind. Zechariah Sitchin, you’ve heard of him and his “Earth Chronicles,” no doubt. The Lost Book of Enki was his last or next to last book before he died recently. Enki is the Egyptian “Ptah” and his son Marduk is the Egyptian “Ra” to give you some reference. It’s all very confusing, but ‘the lost book’ explains it all.
These books are interesting because back in the days of ancient Sumer, the other Anunnaki “gods” wanted regime change in Egypt because Marduk was getting too big for his britches and they wanted him deposed and exiled, so they “buried” him alive inside the great pyramid at Giza. Regime change has been around for a long long time.
I read it years ago. I agree.
Dennis, I’m impressed! Reading esoteric stuff like that, you rock!
Assad: He took exactly the correct stand vis a vis France–Hollande needs to get real about terrorism. The white elephant in the room that no one wants to mention is that Russia is already taking care of things so thank you no need for your aircraft carrier to make a port call.
It wasn’t a modest foreign policy, but it was a discreet one.
Today that circumspect diplomacy is in ruins, and the House of Saud looks more vulnerable than it has since the country was founded in 1926. Unraveling the reasons for the current train wreck is a study in how easily hubris, delusion, and old-fashioned ineptness can trump even bottomless wealth.
Using its vast oil wealth, it’s quietly spread its ultra-conservative brand of Islam throughout the Muslim world, secretly undermined secular regimes in its region, and prudently kept to the shadows while others did the fighting and dying. It was Saudi money that fueled the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan, underwrote Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Iran, and bankrolled Islamic movements and terrorist groups from the Caucasus to the Hindu Kush.
The kingdom’s first stumble was a strategic decision last fall to undermine competitors by scaling up its oil production and thus lowering the global price.
They figured that if the price of a barrel of oil dropped from over $100 to around $80, it would strangle competitors that relied on more expensive sources and new technologies, including the U.S. fracking industry, companies exploring the Arctic, and emergent producers like Brazil. That, in turn, would allow Riyadh to reclaim its shrinking share of the energy market. There was also the added benefit that lower oil prices would damage oil-reliant countries that the Saudis didn’t like – including Russia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Iran.
While oil prices will likely rise over the next five years, projections are that the price per barrel won’t top $65 for the foreseeable future. Saudi debt is on schedule to rise from 6.7 percent of GDP this year to 17.3 percent next year, and its 2015 budget deficit is $130 billion.
When the Arab Spring broke out in 2011, Saudi Arabia headed it off by pumping $130 billion into the economy, raising wages, improving services, and providing jobs for its growing population. Saudi Arabia has one of the youngest populations in the Middle East, many of whom are unemployed and poorly educated. Some 25 percent of the population lives in poverty. Money keeps the lid on, but – even with the heavy-handed repression that characterizes Saudi political life – for how long?
Meanwhile they’re racking up bills with ill-advised foreign interventions. In March, the kingdom intervened in Yemen’s civil conflict, launching an air war, a naval blockade, and partial ground campaign on the pretense that Iran was behind one of the war’s factions – a conclusion not even the Americans agree with.
Again, the Saudis miscalculated, even though one of their major allies, Pakistan, warned them they were headed for trouble. In part, the kingdom’s hubris was fed by the illusion that US support would make it a short war. The Americans are arming the Saudis, supplying them with bombing targets, backing up the naval blockade, and refueling their warplanes in midair.
As the Saudis are finding out, war is a very expensive business – a burden they could meet under normal circumstances, but not when the price of the kingdom’s only commodity, oil, is plummeting.
Nor is Yemen the only war that the Saudis are involved in. Riyadh, along with Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, are underwriting many of the groups trying to overthrow Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. When antigovernment demonstrations broke out there in 2011, the Saudis – along with the Americans and the Turks – calculated that Assad could be toppled in a few months.
But that was magical thinking. As bad as Assad is, a lot of Syrians – particularly minorities like Shiites, Christians, and Druze – were far more afraid of the Islamists from al-Qaeda and the Islamic State than they were of their own government. So the war has dragged on for four years and has now killed close to 250,000 people.
Once again, the Saudis miscalculated, though in this case they were hardly alone. The Syrian government turned out to be more resilient than it appeared. And Riyadh’s bottom line that Assad had to go just ended up bringing Iran and Russia into the picture, checkmating any direct intervention by the anti-Assad coalition. Any attempt to establish a no-fly zone against Assad will now have to confront the Russian air force – not something that anyone other than certain US presidential aspirants are eager to do.
However, the House of Saud has little choice but to keep pumping oil to pay for its wars and keep the internal peace. Yet more production drives down prices even further. And once the sanctions come off Iran, the oil glut will become worse.
While it’s still immensely wealthy, there are lots of bills coming due. It’s not clear the kingdom has the capital or the ability to meet them.

Briefing by Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova, Moscow, November 12, 2015
http://en.mid.ru/en/web/guest/foreign_policy/news/-/asset_publisher/cKNonkJE02Bw/content/id/1938088
Roger Cukierman, the president of France’s powerful Jewish Lobby CRIF confirmed on Friday after the attack that no Jewish institutions was attacked by the terrorists and no Jew was among the victims (reported by JTA, November 13). However, he said that the private Jewish protection militia (JDL) has been put on alert.
Cukierman forgot to tell JTA that the Bataclan theatre which was attacked on Friday was owned by two Jews, Pascal and Joel Laloux, for nearly 40 years. They sold it in September 2015.
Former White House official, Dr. Paul Craig Robert has called the Friday Paris attack another false flag operation like the Boston Marathon Bombing to demonize Muslims and Islam.

that’s amazing – he stands with no visible body guards with the journalists…
Toni Cartalucci adds 1 + 1 and makes the right conclusions. Dot connecting has never been easier.
” Just last week, Syrian forces reestablished firm control over the Kweyris military airport, which was under siege for years. The airport is just 20 miles from the Euphrates, and, as Syrian forces backed by Russian airpower work their way up toward the Turkish border along the Syrian coast, constitutes a unified front that will essentially cut off ISIS deeper inside Syria for good.
Should ISIS’ supply lines be cut in the north, the organization’s otherwise inexplicable fighting capacity will atrophy. The window for the West’s « regime change » opportunity is quickly closing, and perhaps in a last ditch effort, France has jammed the spilled blood and broken bodies of its own citizens beneath the window to prevent it from closing for good.”

As usual, TC nails it.
PARIS THE 13TH – THE AGENDA (valid for all EU member states)
1) further militarization of the police forces.
2) further breaking-down and dissolving ther borders of all European Nation States
3) further terrorizing the populations into submissiveness (the 24/7 propaganda doesn’t work anymore)
4) instigating Civil War like conditions in all EU member states through radicalizing the populations.
5) creating the preconditions for NATO military action against Russia.
6) desperate attempt to rescue everybody’s favorite pet project – ISIS
Need a Syrian passport? A make a special price for you!
” The EU government are insisting on not working with the Syrian government, therefore not receiving Syrian intelligence data on those entering Europe as refugees.
Even the data shared between Russian and Syria are not passed to the EU due the the European approach toward the Ukrainian crisis.
Also, the opposition is forging Syrian passports to be used outside Syria, and because we do not share any data with any EU government, these passports can easily be used outside Syria; that is because the EU do not go back to Syrian databases and thus they cannot know whether the documentations were Government Issued or forged passports.
Perhaps this is one of the most significant examples:
A forged passport and an ID card cost the journalist US $825, he said on Twitter. He only had to make a phone call to order the fake documents, and was able to pick them up all ready within 40 hours. The man was told he would be able to enter Cyprus with his newly obtained documents.
Both were under the fake name of Malek Ramadan, but had the photograph of the Dutch PM Mark Rutte printed on them. The journalist said it wasn’t an initial idea to have the picture of the high-ranking official on the document, he just opted for it when asked to supply a name and a photograph – which only shows you can have pretty much anything printed on “good quality” fake documents.

The wheels are falling off.. The rhetoric is just plain looney.. I think many of these shills are paid because they think others actually believe their lies. If they use marketing gimmicks and potent words, we will equate it with those they are targeting.. Pathetic wretches for human beings. Seems the ratio of liars is still like 80%.. We are supposed to just believe these lies.. next would be Assad throwing babies out of IS’s incubators.. Russia and Assad are just bombing hospitals and blowing up civilians..
Reality on the ground means nothing.. IS is retreating on a wide front. They never had defense in depth to begin with so when the front breaks it is all over. SAA supply lines cant keep up with the speed of advancements and have to stop for it to catch up.
So a country where you get the death penalty for organizing peaceful protests.. wants to decide who rules in other countries.. Because other countries are run by dikatotors and their people deserve freedom.
Lavrov to Jubeir: Is Saudi Authorized to Decide Who Rules Syria?
“Is Saudi authorized to decide who will represent the Syrian people?” Lavrov addressed Saudi FM, Adel al-Jubeir who is attending the talks in the Austrian capital.
“You can refer to the text of the last meeting…. Syrians are who decide the fate of their country, including Assad’s fate,” Lavrov added, according to our correspondent.

This morning (11/13/2015), Dr. Mahmoud Mansour, the chief of the emergency department at Bahman Hospital told this observer that his hospital recorded 20 deaths, and treated approximately 100 victims, approximately 20 percent of whom are in critical condition.

Also, reported ISIS has retreated from multiples villages in central-east Homs back to Raqqa, it may mean ISIS is regrouping and strengthening their key cities after the fall of Sinjar and Hawl cities and the liberation of Kuweirs and the close to happen fall of Ramadi.

Diplomats also decided to place IS, along with the al-Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front terrorist group, on a list of those subject to military strikes even when a ceasefire is in place. The list, managed by the Kingdom of Jordan, may later be expanded to include other groups in Syria, Mr Kerry and Mr Lavrov said.

France cannot seriously attack al-Nusra because al-Nusra’s good friend and ally is Israel, which, through CRIF and others, controls French politics.
The brutal clampdown by the butcher of Paris, Hollande, has shown again the urgency to supply the moderate opposition with more weapons, so they can defend a united France against the barrel bombs of a brutal dictator.
I think I just got confused.
If Asad were a French citizen, he would be put in jail for sedition.
Assad’s comments make little sense. For the French deep State, the attack is not terrorism, so no use warning them against terrorism. The French people suffered, but they do not decide who not to support in Syria. Unless the talk was diplomatic, it only took away the guard of the Syrian people. He should have said things like Iran’s army chief: don’t use the attack to victimise muslim countries, don’t come to Syria to bomb just give us intelligence on ISIS and FSA will deal with them. If France must bomb ISIS, start from Molsul, etc. Now it sounds like he is almost happy thaat France got a taste ofher own bitter medicine!
Paris shooting at the Jewish-owned theatre sold in September 2015 after 40 years, and Rothschild-owned Charlie Hebdo office and Jewish kosher market in January 2015 were Israeli false flag operation. To understand who did it and why Muslims were blamed for that – read French Jewish historian, Emmanuel Todd’s latest book, “Who is Charlie?”.
