The deep state's open support for Al Qaeda and the Islamic State (ISIS) is shocking, especially given their role in the Syrian conflict. Despite claiming to oppose Al Qaeda, the U.S. has provided support to groups aligned with them in Syria, raising questions about the rationale behind such actions. There are concerns about backing the wrong factions, with evidence suggesting that U.S. weapons may have ended up with ISIS. Former officials have indicated that the Obama administration ignored warnings about ISIS's rise, and even John Kerry acknowledged the situation's escalation. Historical parallels are drawn to past U.S. support for Mujahideen in Afghanistan, highlighting the long-term consequences of such interventions. The narrative emphasizes the complexity and contradictions in U.S. foreign policy regarding jihadist groups.

Significant human rights violations against Christians have occurred in both Sunni and Shia controlled areas in Syria, which has a 10% Christian population. The situation could worsen, especially with Bashar al-Assad's regime having killed hundreds of thousands, but he is now gone. The Iranian influence in the region is declining, with key proxies like Hamas, Hezbollah, and Assad no longer in power. Turkey is making incursions into Northern Syria, while Israel maintains control over the Golan Heights, preventing terrorist threats. The Syrian government has weakened, leading to a power struggle among various factions, including the Kurds. The collapse of the Russian-Iranian alliance in Syria highlights their internal weaknesses. President Biden noted that neither Russia nor Iran can effectively support a regime in Syria anymore, which reflects their diminished capabilities. Overall, while the situation remains complex, the decline of these powers could be seen as a positive development.

The CIA supported ISIS and Al-Qaeda to create a Salafist entity between Syria and Iraq. Erdogan is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Syrians, and he has always tried to corrupt the Palestinian cause. He never sent a single bullet to Gaza or the West Bank. Netanyahu has succeeded in raising the black flags of ISIS and Al-Qaeda in Damascus. The Palestinians have suffered a strategic defeat and are isolated. Iran and Syria were supporting the West Bank, but now the West Bank is in a much more difficult position. Israel lost in Gaza and Lebanon, but after what Erdogan has done, the equation has changed. There's a holocaust going on in Gaza, and the Israeli regime's actions have to be remembered.

Speaker 0 describes a dynamic of collaboration and tension around Iran, noting that the Israelis are “very American” and that they could have shouting matches in meetings over whose idea is best, but then go have lunch and remain amicable. He emphasizes that Israelis are good allies that the U.S. needs to protect, and asserts that CIA and Al Qaeda “worked closely together in Iraq. And Syria.” Speaker 1 adds that in Syria the aim was to overthrow Assad. Speaker 0 explains that there were times when covert action findings allowed meetings to talk to the “quote, unquote, enemies” to try to bring things down, as CIA officers. Speaker 1 observes that most of the world has a problem with Al Qaeda and ISIS (Daesh), but implies the CIA’s cooperation with ISIS and Al Qaeda lowers that problem. Speaker 0 argues that if the plan is for the U.S. to work with them, to work on a security agreement, which has been done with enemies before, the U.S. would have played that role side by side with diplomats and other involved countries, and he wouldn’t be surprised if that were happening; he calls it possibly hopeful. Speaker 1 notes that newspapers in the United States once celebrated Qasem Soleimani as a fighter with American troops against ISIS and Al Qaeda, and now that stance has changed. The speaker concludes with the reversal of priorities: “Now we have to go to Als ISIS and Al Qaeda to go back against Iran.”

Excitement surrounds the recent toppling of Assad in Syria, but the situation is concerning. The group that ousted him, Hayat Tahir al Sham, is led by Abu Mohammed Al Julani, a former Al Qaeda leader. After being imprisoned in Iraq, Julani was sent to Syria to establish Jabhat al Nusra. He later distanced himself from ISIS, aiming to create an Islamic state in Syria rather than a global caliphate. His rule in Idlib resembles that of the Taliban, with accusations of silencing dissent and imposing strict laws. Julani's original name is Ahmed Hussein Alshara, and he seeks to liberate a broader region known as al Sham, including Lebanon, Jordan, and Israel. Turkey's Erdogan supports the rebels, posing a new threat as he aims to lead Sunni Muslims against Western civilization. Under this new regime, minorities, particularly Christians and Kurds, may face persecution.

Senator Kelly questioned Colonel Gabbard about her past statements regarding U.S. support for terrorist groups in Syria, referencing her claims that the U.S. was aiding Al Qaeda while attempting to overthrow the Assad regime. Gabbard expressed her shock at learning about President Obama's programs that armed groups aligned with Al Qaeda, highlighting the consequences of regime change wars in the Middle East. She noted that, while she does not support the Assad regime, the current leadership in Syria consists of Islamist extremists who persecute religious minorities. Gabbard emphasized the importance of Americans knowing that their government was supporting Al Qaeda, asserting that this should be unacceptable.

Al Qaeda has acted as a proxy force for the U.S. in Syria, working alongside ISIS to achieve American objectives. Since the war began in 2011, the U.S. has supported Al Qaeda, providing them with weapons through covert operations. The goal has been to overthrow the Syrian government, employing ruthless tactics to starve and freeze the civilian population, exacerbated by severe sanctions. Medical supplies were cut off, leading to preventable deaths. An explosion in Lebanon, which devastated the economy, is suspected to have been orchestrated to further harm Syria. The U.S. has manipulated global media narratives to obscure these actions, presenting them as altruistic. Throughout, there has been a disturbing campaign of sexual violence against women and children, facilitated by the chaos of war, highlighting the extreme cruelty inflicted on the Syrian people in pursuit of geopolitical goals.

The speaker states that sanctions against Syria were once important but are now being removed, expressing optimism about Syria's future success. The speaker hopes Syria will "show us something very special," similar to Saudi Arabia. The administration is pursuing peaceful engagement and offering friendship to those who accept it in good faith. The speaker claims unprecedented strides and progress have been made, envisioning a bright future for the Middle East. The speaker suggests that if nations in the region set aside differences and focus on shared interests, the world will be amazed. The speaker believes the Middle East, the "geographic center of the world and the spiritual heart of its greatest faiths," will transform from a place of turmoil to a land of opportunity and hope.

I was shocked to learn that President Obama had programs to overthrow the Syrian regime. The CIA's Timber Sycamore program armed Al Qaeda to start another regime change war in the Middle East. The DOD's train and equip program spent over half a billion dollars training "moderate rebels" who were actually aligned with Al Qaeda. Regime change wars in Syria, like in Iraq, Libya, and Egypt, risk the rise of Islamist extremists like Al Qaeda. We now have an Islamist extremist in charge of Syria who celebrated the 9/11 attack and is persecuting religious minorities like Christians. Every American deserves to know if our government supported our enemy, Al Qaeda.

We allied with Al Qaeda and ISIS, using them against the Syrian government. Terrorists from 100 countries joined them, engaging in organized rape and creating slave markets. They were allowed to kill husbands, own wives and children, and rape widows and young children. This led to a horrific campaign of violence and exploitation in Syria.

Wanna get on to Ukraine. But, given that Israel is signaling it doesn't like the, Al Qaeda operative, Jelani in Damascus, and we know Tulsi Gabbard is something of an expert on Syria because she exposed the lies and the, phony war in Syria when The United States was supporting the ISIS and Al Qaeda rebels there. How do you and Trump has been very brave arguably saying, he's not gonna, start sending loads of money like Britain is to Tchelani. There's still thousands of American troops, though, in Syria. What is American Syrian policy Syria policy? America's policy towards Syria is basically Israel's policy. And what The United States was bent on doing was wrecking Syria and keeping it wrecked. That's the Israeli objective here. This is what the Israelis wanna do with Iran. They don't simply wanna do away with Iran's nuclear capability. They surely do wanna do that, but they wanna wreck Iran. They wanna turn Iran into Syria. And what the Israelis are doing in Syria is going to great lengths to make sure that Syria remains, a dysfunctional state. They don't want Syria to become, a formidable adversary. They want it to remain broken. And, of course, The United States will support the Israelis in that regard. So, of course, the Israelis are not gonna allow the Americans to give huge amounts of aid to Jalani so that he can produce a viable Syrian state because that's not Israeli policy. Just look at what they're doing in Iran. I mean, excuse me, what they're doing in Lebanon. It's a similar situation.

The speaker argues that the United States became bogged down in Iraq due to an insurgency, and that this prevented a planned progression to a subsequent war in Syria, which the speaker claims was due to happen already twenty years prior. The speaker asserts that what began in 2011, under Barack Obama, led to the destabilization of Assad, and claims that this process was directed by Obama through the CIA with the aim of overthrowing Assad. According to the speaker, the motive behind overthrowing Assad lies in a belief that Israel has controlled American foreign policy in the Middle East for thirty years. The speaker contends that there exists an Israel lobby and references a “clean break” strategy, describing a plan for seven wars in five years. The speaker asserts that this plan has been pursued, with the claim that madness has been carried out, though the public is not informed about the details. The speaker states that one can observe the progression step by step. The central narrative presented is that the United States has engaged in a sequence of conflicts driven by a long-standing policy framework linked to Israeli influence, rather than purely American strategic consideration. The speaker maintains that six of the seven planned wars have been carried out, implying that the Syria intervention and other Middle East engagements are components of a broader, premeditated sequence. The assertion implies a deliberate, long-term strategy rather than reactive policy, and it emphasizes a disconnect between the government's actions and public awareness. Key claims repeated throughout include: the US became entangled in Iraq due to an insurgency; this prevented advancement to a Syria-focused campaign; the Syria upheaval traces back to 2011 and is connected to Obama via CIA involvement aimed at overthrowing Assad; Israel’s influence over American Middle East policy has shaped these decisions; there exists a “clean break strategy” with a plan for seven wars in five years; and that six of the seven wars have been executed while the public remains uninformed about the full rationale and sequence. The speaker presents these points as a coherent, long-running policy rather than isolated incidents, emphasizing the stealth and orchestrated nature of the actions.

The speaker claims that recent events in Syria are the culmination of a 30-year effort by Israel, led by Netanyahu, to reshape the Middle East. This effort, detailed in a 1996 document called "Clean Break," aims for a "greater Israel" by dismantling governments that support Palestinians. The speaker references a plan for "seven wars in five years" presented to General Wesley Clark after 9/11, listing Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, and Sudan as targets. The speaker asserts that the U.S., influenced by the "Israel lobby," has been carrying out this plan, with Obama initiating the Syrian war in 2011 via Operation Timber Sycamore. The speaker says Netanyahu views any support for Palestinian groups as a threat to Israel's control over Palestine, motivating the need to destroy opposing governments. Greater Israel encompasses the annexation of the West Bank, Golan Heights, and East Jerusalem. The speaker alleges that the U.S. has funded and armed Israel, leading to geopolitical isolation and endless war in the Middle East. The speaker says the U.S. blocked a Syrian peace agreement in 2012 because it demanded Assad's immediate removal. The speaker concludes that the New York Times and mainstream media avoid historical context to give a "free hand" to the security state. The speaker fears the next target is Iran, potentially leading to World War III, and urges President Trump to change course.

In the conversation, Syed Mohammed Marandi, a professor at Tehran University and former adviser to Iran’s nuclear negotiation team, addresses multiple interwoven geopolitical issues, centering on Iran, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and the broader strategic rivalry with the United States and its allies. Syria and ISIS release - Marandi asserts that the Damascus regime, described as al-Qaeda/ISIS-aligned factions, would not tolerate Kurdish forces backed by the United States. He notes prior violence against Alawites, Christians, and Druze as context for the current disturbing images from Syria. - He argues the United States is not a reliable partner for its allies, pointing to past episodes such as Obama’s refusal to support Arbil when ISIS threatened the Kurdish government, and Soleimani’s rapid military response to save the city. - He states that ISIS prisoners have been released in Syria, implying that thousands of ISIS members are now free and could destabilize Syria and possibly Iraq. He emphasizes that both Jolani (an ISIS-linked figure) and the Kurdish groups in northeast Syria are allied to the United States, making it unclear who released the prisoners but suggesting that those actors are aligned with the U.S. - The broader implication is that the release increases instability in Syria and potentially across the region. Border security and spillover fears - The discussion turns to Iraq’s border with Syria, with Marandi weighing whether U.S.-backed jihadist forces might spill into Iraq or Lebanon. He suggests a likelihood that ISIS/Al-Qaeda remnants could be used to pressure Lebanon and Iraq to prevent closer Iranian influence. - He notes that Iran’s potential responses could include its missile and drone capabilities, should security worsen on a front involving its allies in Lebanon and Iraq; however, Iran currently refrains from large-scale involvement in Syria but would consider action if threats to Iran or its allies escalate. Regime change, fragmentation, and U.S.-Israel aims - The conversation shifts to Iran post-riots, with questions about U.S./Israel strategies for regime change. Marandi contends the plan is to destabilize and fragment Iran, not to establish a unified post-regime scenario. - He cites alleged Israeli and Western involvement in organizing riots as evidence of a broader conspiracy to create chaos and justify military action. He claims Mossad and other intelligence agencies were on the ground, and public statements from former CIA officials acknowledged Israeli involvement. - He describes the riot phase as highly organized, with foreign funding (including Bitcoin), online recruitment, and careful targeting of police and infrastructure. He portrays the protests as initially legitimate grievances that devolved into violent chaos fueled by external coordination, with widespread destruction and deaths, including the killing of police officers. - In contrast, he highlights large pro-government demonstrations, especially a national day of demonstrations that he says showed widespread popular support for the Islamic Republic and condemnation of rioters. He points to extensive media coverage highlighting peaceful protests, while arguing that the riot narrative dominated Western coverage. Internal Iranian dynamics and public opinion - Marandi emphasizes the fragmentation among Iranian opposition groups: MEK, monarchists, Takfiri remnants near the Pakistan border, and Kurdish separatists, all of whom he asserts lack credible popular support. - He argues that even if the regime were at risk, fragmentation would prevent any single faction from stabilizing the country post-regime change. He suggests this aligns with his view of broader Israeli aims to weaken and fragment Iran and neighboring states, as seen in Syria and Iraq. Military capability and deterrence - He asserts Iran’s substantial missile and drone capabilities and asserts that Iran could defend allies in Lebanon and Iraq if needed. He notes Iran’s long-term preparedness against U.S. threats, including underground bases and extensive drone/missile stocks. - He contends that if war occurred, it would have wide regional and global economic consequences, potentially destabilizing oil markets and prompting broader geopolitical upheaval. He argues that U.S. restraint may be influenced by the risk of a global economic meltdown. Russia, China, and Starlink - Regarding technological assistance for countering communications, he mentions rumors of Russian or Chinese involvement in aiding Iran's internet disruption and Starlink-related issues, acknowledging uncertainty but highlighting a growing trilateral closeness among Iran, Russia, and China in the face of U.S. pressure. media narratives and leadership - He criticizes Western media for portraying protests as peaceful, while Israeli claims and cyber/disinformation around the events are presented as demonstrations of foreign involvement. He maintains that internal Iranian unity—visible in large-scale demonstrations—contrasts with the portrayal of a fractured nation. - He closes by suggesting that while some European leaders may align with U.S. policies, the overall strategic outlook remains uncertain, with a warning that Trump’s approach could escalate tensions rather than yield stability.

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.

There's a massacre in Syria targeting the Druze community; they are silencing us. The Syrian president was an ex ISIS terrorist on the wanted list, aiming to rid Syria of minorities, including Christians and Druze, calling us Kafar. The media says Israel attacked Damascus and is defending itself, but the claim is Bedouin attacked the Druze and the Druze defend themselves. We are being massacred by supposed ex-jihadist from the government army. Without Israel's protection, we would have been wiped out. They are stealing our phones, making false videos and posts, pretending to be Druze, and creating false propaganda while killing elderly and children. Neighboring cities are poisoning the water. Many are on the run. Please spread the word; lives are at stake.

The war in Syria originated not from Bashar Al Assad, but from a decision in Washington in 02/2011 to overthrow Assad, a desire originating from Jerusalem and the Israeli government for over 25 years, with Netanyahu aiming to reshape the Middle East in Israel's image by overthrowing opposing governments. This aligned with the CIA and the U.S. government, leading to Operation Timber Sycamore, a program where the U.S. and regional countries trained rebels, including jihadists, to overthrow the Syrian regime. This resulted in chaos and 600,000 deaths. The CIA's goal in 02/2011 was for a jihad group to take power in Syria after being armed by the U.S. Peace in the region requires real diplomacy, not CIA operations, and an end to Israel's militarization of the Middle East. The Syrian war is one of six wars Israel has promoted, including in Lebanon, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, and Sudan. In 02/2001, Wesley Clark was shown a Pentagon paper outlining a plan for seven wars in five years. The only war that hasn't occurred is a U.S. war with Iran.

There were significant human rights violations against Christians in Syria, in both Sunni and Shia controlled areas. The potential for things to get worse is there, but the upside is that the Iranian crescent is dead, meaning the Iranian regime is in real trouble because their biggest proxies like Hamas, Hezbollah, and Assad are gone, and Shia influence is waning. Turkey is encroaching on Northern Syria to create a buffer zone, while Israel controls the Golan Heights and has moved into a buffer zone at Mount Hermon. The Syrian government has abdicated to a rebel alliance. Russia and Iran are weak, as evidenced by the collapse of their alliance in Syria, indicative of their interior weakness. This is a direct result of blows Ukraine and Israel delivered. Net net, this is probably a good thing, but there are no great things in the Middle East.

In 2016, President Assad told me they changed citizenship laws due to children of Syrian women impregnated by terrorists. The new law allowed these children to have Syrian citizenship instead of being sent to their ISIS fathers. This highlights the cruelty of war and the inhumanity imposed on people for political gain, like overthrowing governments or seizing resources. This policy is evident in the current administration's stance against Russia.

It makes me sad and angry to see Protestant Christian churches in the US ignoring the murder and oppression of Christians in the Middle East. It outrages me that US tax dollars might be used to harm Christians. I'm also concerned about the lack of understanding of the region; Syria isn't some remote place—it's strategically vital, right in the heart of everything. I'm against regime change in general, but if we're going to do it, we need to replace the old regime with something better and more stable. After all this, why was I supposed to hate Assad? Why did the media adopt a political strategy to hate him as a moral imperative? It felt like the media was doing the bidding of powerful groups, treating a political strategy as a moral obligation.

In 2016, during a visit to Syria, I spoke with President Assad about the citizenship law. At that time, they were working on legislation to change the law, which traditionally granted citizenship through the father, due to the large number of Syrian women impregnated by foreign terrorists. The new law aimed to ensure these children would receive Syrian citizenship, preventing their return to their ISIS fathers abroad. This situation highlights the extreme cruelty of war, where the suffering of people is often overlooked in political strategies, including the current administration's stance against Russia.

For the past decade, foreign powers have sought to destroy Syria. "Israel wants to reclaim Southern Syria, Turkey wants to reclaim Northern Syria, and the Persian Gulf states want a secure route for a natural gas pipeline to Europe." The "American Empire" seeks to destroy any nation that fails to open its economy to Western corporations. The preferred method... "to destroy a nation by agitating and arming minority groups while sending thousands of foreign mercenaries" and "funded by foreign intelligence agencies via massive arms smuggling that supplied billions of dollars in weapons to so called rebels." "American weaponry included expensive shoulder fired surface to air missiles and large anti tank weapons, like the American TOW system." By the end of 2,015, the Syrian government had lost control of most of its territory. "Russia announced that any aircraft that bombed Syrian forces would be shot down." "Israel expanded its Druze militias in Southern Syria" and "American aircrafts and artillery supported Kurdish forces" into Eastern Syria. "The White Helmets" were "founded in 2013 by a British ex military officer" and "funded to the tune of $100,000,000 by The US, UK, and Europe"—they "purport to be rescuing civilians" yet "no one in Eastern Aleppo has heard of them." "The covert war on Syria killed over 400,000 people and pushed 5,000,000 refugees." "Seven years has been a disaster under Obama" with "CIA and Saudi Arabia together" fueling a "proxy war" that brought ISIS; get out. The plot to destroy Syria failed as it reconquered most of its territory.

If you're on Twitter, be warned: gruesome videos from Syria are circulating, a result of CIA intervention and tax dollars funding "moderate rebels." These rebels are now attacking minority communities that Bashar al-Assad used to protect. Figures like Barry Weiss, John Bolton, the Bushes, Obama, and Hillary Clinton bear responsibility, as this was their CIA project under the Obama administration, aimed at turning Syria into another Libya. They achieved their goal: a failed state with torture and human sacrifice. This could have been prevented, as past interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya failed. The situation worsened after Trump's election. Biden gave the green light before Trump took office. The CIA approached Trump in 2016 to overthrow Assad, but he refused. The corporate media and establishment are also culpable in this disaster.
