BREAKING: “Moderate” rebels wiping out entire minority communities in Syria 🇸🇾 NOW! https://t.co/Pvo08iV24D
Video Transcript AI Summary
I'm warning you about the horrible videos coming out of Syria right now, paid for with your tax dollars through CIA intervention. These moderate rebels, a project of the Obama administration, are now attacking minority communities that Assad used to protect. People like Obama, Clinton, and others have blood on their hands; they wanted to make Syria the new Libya, and they succeeded in creating a failed state with torture and human sacrifice.
This could have been prevented, but the intel agencies pushed forward, especially after Trump's election but before he took office, when Biden gave them the go-ahead. The CIA even asked Trump to overthrow Assad in 2016, but he refused. The corporate media and establishment types are responsible for this disaster. The ousting of Syria happened right after Trump was elected to show what they could do. It's absolutely horrible.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Holy freaking cow. Be warned because if you're going on Twitter right now, you're gonna see a bunch of horrible videos coming from Syria, all, of course, paid for by your tax dollars with direct CIA intervention that's bringing us all these moderate rebels that are going after now the minority communities in Syria that Bashar al Assad used to protect. There's blood on the hands of the Barry Weisses, the John Bolton's, the Bushes, and more particularly, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, as this was their larger kind of CIA pet project that they started up under the Barack Obama administration that was going to, of course, bring freedom with modern rebels to the Syrian territory. And there was deliberate attempts by the intel agencies to reengage, to make Syria the new Libya. Well, guess what?
They got their way. They got their failed state. They got the torture. They got the human sacrifice. They got all those gory videos.
It's something that, of course, could have been prevented. It was prevented under the first Obama administration when everybody kind of rose up and up up in arms saying, hey, when we did this in Iraq, it didn't work. Did this in Afghanistan, it didn't work. We did this in Libya, it didn't work. Now in Syria, it's a lot more insidious than a lot of people even understand it to be since the videos that you're seeing right now is what's public.
Imagine all the stuff that's not public, not released to everyone, that they're not showing you as there are human horrors beyond comprehension, slaughters of entire minority communities happening right now. And who's responsible here? The intel agencies, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton. And the way that they pull this off because when you look at the kind of ousting of Bashar al Assam, it happened as soon as Donald Trump won. Now why did it happen as soon as Donald Trump won political office?
Before he got into office, in that in between time, Biden said, do whatever you want. It's been one of their pet projects for a long time. The CIA went to Donald Trump when he was in office, his first term in 02/2016, and said, president, we're gonna overthrow Bashar all time. Trump said, no. You're not.
We're gonna go after your moderate rebels, and we're gonna bomb them instead of supporting, aiding, and abetting them and spreading global jihadism. As, of course, the same people that are the moderate rebels that all the bleeding hot liberals are all crying for, those are the same people now chopping their heads off, torturing, making people walk and bark like dogs and abusing them right now. Those are the same people that they want to just walk on into Europe, a part of their multiculturalism, which is just absolutely freaking insane. And the videos you're watching should infuriate you because as a stamp of approval of all these neocons, neoliberals, bloodthirsty establishment types, the corporate media is responsible here. Don't forget the ousting of Syria that happened right in between that time as soon as Trump was elected.
They went to Trump in the first time. They said, hey. Overthrow Assad. Trump said, nope. They did it as soon as he won election just to show them that this is what we could do.
We're seeing it today. It's absolutely horrible.

🚨 BREAKING: Christian villages in Syria are being wiped out, monks murdered, monasteries torched, families slaughtered. And the mainstream media is silent. @joshua_landis joins us to expose it. https://t.co/9QDEsAQase
Video Transcript AI Summary
The discussion centers on what the speakers describe as a systematic massacre of Christians in Syria, along with violence against other minority communities. They claim churches and monasteries have been targeted, with Christian villages and others like Alawite villages set on fire and attacked, and note fires seen from miles away. They argue the Syrian government is not stopping the violence and is instead embracing the new leadership described as an ISIS terrorist, citing a photo of the leader at the United Nations with a “clean kept beard and hair gel.” They assert Christians are protesting in the streets, saying they are “soldiers of Christ,” while saying Christians are “sitting targets” without help.
Professor Joshua Landis, of Syria Comment and the Center for Middle East Studies at the University of Oklahoma, explains the shift in Syria’s power dynamics. He recounts that in 2011, the Nusra Front emerged as a Syrian branch of Al Qaeda, formed with US support to the opposition against Assad. He notes that in December, nine months prior, the head of Al Qaeda reportedly swept into Damascus, took over, and “became president,” with the United States lifting sanctions and embracing him to sign a peace agreement with Israel. Landis emphasizes the minorities in Syria—Alawites (about 12%), Druze (3%), Kurds in the north—are terrified as a “Sunni supremacist” and fundamentalist regime takes power and treats minorities with disdain. He cites massacres against minorities: 17,000 Alawites killed in March, nearly 2,000 Druze killed in July, and ongoing violence. He also highlights Christian persecution, mentioning the Mar Elias church bombing in June that killed 30 parishioners and wounded over 50; the church was burned, and he notes conflicting claims about the bomber’s affiliations. He adds that Washington has lifted sanctions and encouraged the new president, while not compelling moves toward democracy or decentralization to protect minorities.
The hosts question why Western media and governments remain largely silent, noting a lack of coverage by Trump or major outlets, and remark that the situation parallels civil wars in Iraq and Lebanon where minorities suffered as states collapsed. Landis argues that after the overthrow of regimes like Saddam Hussein’s, Christians in Iraq were reduced from about 3% to nearly none, due to civil strife and the rise of extremist movements, with Christians often facing persecution and forced jizya.
The conversation turns to broader regional stakes, including concern that Kurdish allies, who helped defeat ISIS, may be abandoned as US troops draw down, leaving Kurdish populations vulnerable. The host urges viewers to share the segment with government representatives to demand attention to the plight of Christians in the Middle East. The discussion closes with Landis reaffirming the gravity of the situation and the absence of strong Western political will to intervene.

Speaker 0: Christians are being slaughtered in Syria, and the mainstream media completely ignoring the story once again. For days now in Syria, there's been a systemic unprecedented massacre of Christians. The killing of monks, the burning of monasteries, burning of entire Orthodox villages, which you can see fires from a distance. I mean, miles away, these Christian villages being burned. Alawite villages, Christian villages, all in Syria.
Syrian government isn't doing anything to stop it because this is exactly what they want, of course. Instead of stopping it, they're inviting the new leader of Syria who's an ISIS terrorist to the United Nations to wine and dine him, celebrate his new leadership and his clean kept beard and his hair gel. They don't want you to remember what he used to look like. There he is, wining and dining with Emmanuel Macron. Christians are taking to the streets in protest of these brutal killings across Syria saying we are soldiers of Christ.
Watch. We're trying to fight back, but, of course, they're sitting targets at the moment without any help. Professor Joshua Landis is the author of Syria Comment, syriacomet.com, and the director of the Center for Middle East Studies at the University of Oklahoma. And he joins us now. Professor Landis, great to have you on the show.
Thank you so much for being here. Pleasure being here. You know, when I see this picture, it just strikes me right in the stomach. And you see this picture of Jelani, you know, at the United Nations all clean kept, you know, beard, hair gel. People try we're trying to wipe clean his past as a as a terrorist.
And what hope do these Christians have when you have a leader who's a literal terrorist and not doing anything to stop the slaughtering of Christians?
Speaker 1: Well, it is an extraordinary, striking change that's going on in Syria. Here in 2003 when when The United States invaded Iraq, Jolani left Damascus as a young 21 year old and went to fight The United States in Iraq. And he was arrested by Americans for five years. Petraeus was the lead general there. And he joined Al Qaeda, graduated up, became a right hand man to Caliph Baghdadi, the head of ISIS, and was sent to Syria in 2011 to form a branch, a Syrian branch of Al Qaeda called the Nusra.
And he did that with spectacular results, and it became the most powerful militia in Syria. And we've got to remember The United States was supporting the Syrian opposition at this time, sending in billions of dollars and a number of CIA operations and defense department operations to support the opposition. And this head of Al Qaeda was a beneficiary of that because it weakened the Assad regime, became strong. And in December, just nine months ago, he swept into Damascus with his forces, took over, became president. And America very quickly recognized him, lifted sanctions, and have embraced him and tried to get him to sign a peace agreement with Israel.
So it is an extraordinarily sort of rapid change, and it means the minorities of Syria and the Christians are an important minority. But there are others, as you mentioned, the Alawites, 12% of Syria live on the coast, The Druze, 3% to live in the South. The Kurds up in the North. All of them are terrified today because these Sunni supremacists, this very fundamentalist branch of Sunni Islam has taken power and and is really treating the minorities with great disdain. And there have been massacres both on the coast against the Alawites, 17,000 killed in March, In July, in the Druze area, about about almost 2,000 people were killed.
And and there's fighting going on today in the Kurdish region. So it's it's a very fraught situation. Many minorities are leaving Syria every day.
Speaker 0: What do we know about the scale of the massacres? You talked about 17,000 Alawites. Yeah. We we covered that here on the show a couple of months ago. I mean, I that that's unbelievable, the number, the sheer number of that.
And the Christians, how reliable
Speaker 1: Almost every day, about four, five, six Alawites are being killed. Druze are being killed, and Christians too are being persecuted. You know, the the the Mar Elias bombing in June killed 30 parishioners in this church. 50 some odd others were wounded, badly wounded. The church was burnt down, destroyed by a suicide bomber.
The regime said he was part of ISIS, but other groups said he had been member of the new defense department and and didn't think that didn't think that al Sharah, the new president, was, you know, fundamentalist enough and decided to decided to bomb this church. So it's it's it's a very worrying situation. And unfortunately, Washington is coming out and embracing this guy, lifting sanctions and not telling him that he's gotta move towards democracy, that there has to be some kind of decentralization in order to protect these minorities that he can't just run roughshod over them. Why do
Speaker 0: you think the Syrian government is not intervening at all to help these Christians and Alawite communities?
Speaker 1: Well, because first of all, there is tremendous sort of ideological disdain for them. Secondly, there's a sense of revenge and there's a desire for revenge because the minorities, by and large, and this is not true across the board, but supported the Assad regime, which was Assad, Bashar al Assad was an Alawite. And he worried that if the Islamist took over, the the minorities would be persecuted, which in fact they are. And and so minorities tended to support them, and it became very sectarian. The Sunnis who joined the opposition blame the minorities and believe that the minorities have been spoiled.
First by the French colonial powers that ruled during the interwar period, and later came to power themselves and had their boot on the necks of these Sunni Muslims. So there's there's deep religious distrust that goes right across us. Now the Christians always tried to run between the legs of the Alawites and the Sunnis. But by and large, they were not unhappy to see Assad stay in power because he was secular. He didn't discriminate against the Christians.
Speaker 0: Christians were safe. I mean, say what you want about them. But the CIA the CIA operation, the fake gas attacks, the CIA operation to overthrow the Assad regime, he's been an inconvenient thorn in their side, you know, aligning with Russia, you know, friends of Putin. This is a huge problem, of course, for the West. So And this has been
Speaker 1: you know, this is not just Syria because this has happened in Iraq. This has happened in Lebanon. When you get civil war, when you get the state collapsing, and when America overthrew Saddam Hussein, Saddam was a brutal dictator, but Christians were safe there, and they were about 3% of Iraq. Today, there's almost no Christians left in Iraq because civil war, people begin preying on each other, and you get the rise of this very right wing fundamentalism. And that meant that Christians were discriminated against.
And often they had an ISIS put, you know, a big n for Nusayyidi for for for a Christian a symbol for Christian on the doors of Christians and and made them pay jizya and often just killed them. So Why do think
Speaker 0: the western media, professor? Why do you think the western media is and governments are almost completely silent about this? I don't hear the Trump administration talking about it at all. I don't hear the western media talking about it at all. Flip on Fox News, CNN, nothing.
There's no coverage of it. You have to rely on little dog and pony shows like ours.
Speaker 1: Well, you're you're right. And and you would think that president Trump, who is backed by Christian groups, would be more outspoken about this. But he he for some reason, he's not. He has embraced you know, he's embraced shut up. Who the Saudis and the Turks said, you know, this is our guy.
You you need to lift sanctions and let Syria grow again, which and he did that. And he's embraced
Speaker 0: And we all support that. I mean, death by sanctions, you know, like we call it here on the show. It's like a sanctions or say weapons of
Speaker 1: mass of mass
Speaker 0: destruction. So we support that. But killing Christians.
Speaker 1: Right. And and there hasn't been a human cry. And Christian groups have become you know, they've become I don't know. They've abandoned the Christians in The Middle East. There's no doubt about it.
And they don't have a very strong voice for this. And I think it's gotten you know, it's it's I don't know why exactly it has gotten lost in this struggle.
Speaker 0: Oh, it's absolutely devastating. And as you point out, the the slaughtering of Alawites, of Druze, of Christians continues. Right now as we are speaking
Speaker 1: Now our Kurdish our Kurdish allies who helped us fight ISIS, who helped us in Iraq are on the verge of being abandoned by The United States, is drawing down its troops and and perhaps preparing to leave the region, in which case they were they're gonna get they're gonna get their heads knocked in.
Speaker 0: My god. Professor, thank you for this. Thank you for this eye opening discussion. I hope that more people are paying attention to this. And by the way, I mean, share this.
Please clip this out and share this. Share this with people in the government. Share this with members of Congress. Just tag your representative and say, why the hell are Christians being ignored in The Middle East and being slaughtered, and we're not doing anything to stop it? Professor, thank you so much for joining us.
We appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Well, it's a pleasure being here.
